"Correct!" Aquarius nodded excitedly. "The first is called 'Eternal Change.' It represents the invariance of remaining forever in a state of change. This logical contradiction will trigger cognitive collapse in any consciousness that attempts to understand it."
He pointed to the second container. "'Absolute Relativity' claims that all truths are relative, including this statement itself. It creates an infinitely recursive logical trap."
The third container emitted the most bizarre glow. "'Creative Destruction' creates through destruction and destroys through creation. This concept causes any system to destroy itself in the process of self-reinforcement."
Asteria looked at these Concept Viruses and felt deeply uneasy. "These things... feel dangerous."
"They are indeed dangerous," Aquarius admitted. "In small-scale tests, I discovered that these Concept Viruses are equally harmful to the consciousness of ordinary lifeforms."
"Test subjects exposed to 'Eternal Change' fell into thought loops they could not stop. Those exposed to 'Absolute Relativity' completely lost their ability to judge. As for 'Creative Destruction'..."
He paused. "Those exposed to it began unconsciously destroying everything they created, then compulsively rebuilding it, forming an infinite cycle."
The conference room fell silent. Three options lay before them, each carrying enormous risks.
Capricorn's military assault plan might prove ineffective and would even provide nourishment for the enemy.
Asteria's conceptual dialogue plan was immensely risky; if it failed, they would lose the Libra Mark.
Aquarius's Concept Virus plan might work, but it was essentially mutual destruction.
"We don't have much time," Sageta reminded them. "The Void Ark will reach the core region of the Milky Way in forty-eight hours."
Lin Ye looked at the three proposers. Every one of them had determination written in their eyes.
Capricorn firmly believed that only united military strength could protect the universe.
Asteria believed that understanding and communication could resolve even the deepest conflicts.
