"Yes." Niu immediately got to work. "I've marked seventeen main routes."
"They all lead to the network's critical nodes."
"Good." A sharp gleam flashed in Lin Ye's eyes. "Now that we know the enemy's attack routes, we can set traps."
"Place 'Rule Bombs' along every route."
"Rule Bombs?" Three Phases asked in confusion.
"Yes," Lin Ye explained. "Use the Power of the Ultrareal to create definitions filled with extreme contradictions."
"For example, 'existent nothingness,' 'motionless movement,' and 'certain uncertainty.'"
"When the Dark Era's rule resets encounter these contradictions, they will trigger intense conflicts."
"They won't stop the darkness, but they can disrupt its advance and strip it of its ability to strike with precision."
The plan was insane, but it was indeed feasible.
Everyone who wielded conceptual power immediately sprang into action, planting Rule Bombs along the marked routes.
The results appeared quickly.
When the first wave of guided darkness touched the bombs, violent conceptual conflicts erupted at once.
The darkness's advance noticeably slowed, and its once-precise attacks became scattered.
"It worked!" Guanlan said excitedly. "The Dark Era's erosion rate has dropped by forty percent!"
But Lin Ye knew this was only temporary.
The Order Sovereign would not simply stand by.
Sure enough, in the next instant, a vast will descended.
"An interesting little trick." It was the Order Sovereign's voice, majestic and cold.
"But before absolute power, every trick is futile."
As its words fell, all the Rule Bombs failed simultaneously.
They had not been destroyed. They had been "standardized."
Those contradictory definitions were forcibly smoothed out, transformed into existences that conformed to logic.
"This is the power of the Seventh Dimension." The Primordial Source sighed. "It can establish rules, so naturally, it can make everything conform to them."
"Then we'll create something it can't standardize," Lin Ye said,
