"Erase the concept: Lin Ye's existence."
This was the most direct and thorough form of eradication. It was not killing him, but making the concept of "Lin Ye" fundamentally cease to exist.
Everyone would forget him, and every impact he had made would be erased, as if he had never appeared.
But the attack did not take effect.
It was not blocked. Rather... it could not find its target.
"Impossible!" The Concept Eraser showed emotion for the first time. "You are clearly right there!"
"I am here, but I am also not here," Lin Ye said. "When you try to erase the concept of 'Lin Ye,' I cease to be Lin Ye. When you stop erasing it, I become Lin Ye again."
"Is this a macroscopic manifestation of a quantum state?" Wu Wu asked in shock.
"No, this is a superposition at the conceptual level," Lin Ye explained. "I am every possible version of myself at once."
He stepped forward.
After that step, countless Lin Yes appeared in the space.
Every one of them was real, and every one represented a possibility.
There was a Lin Ye who continued fighting, a Lin Ye who chose negotiation, a Lin Ye who had already failed, and a Lin Ye who had already won.
"This is Hyper-Reality's true form." All the Lin Yes spoke at once. "It is not changing reality, but choosing reality."
The Concept Eraser and the Dimensional Trimmer retreated simultaneously.
For the first time, they felt threatened.
It was not a threat of power, but a threat in the form of existence. Their methods of attack were all founded on certainty, while Lin Ye now represented uncertainty itself.
At that moment, the End Executor, which had remained silent all this time, suddenly moved.
But it did not attack Lin Ye.
