But just then, Scobio sounded an urgent alarm: "The Transdimensional Entity is accelerating its attacks! It has detected our plan!"
Through the Concept Monitoring Network, they could see a terrifying sight: the Transdimensional Entity had split into multiple attack units, striking more than a dozen different universes at once.
"Universe 67 is under attack! Its conceptual structure is becoming unstable!"
"Universe 234's defensive barrier has been breached!"
"We've lost contact with Universe 445's Guardian!"
A succession of alarms rang through the council chamber. The Transdimensional Entity clearly intended to destroy enough universes before the new system was established to undermine the foundations of their plan.
"We must launch the first phase immediately!" Lin Ye decided without hesitation. "Even if the system isn't complete, we have to get it running!"
"The risk is too great," Seranos warned. "Activating the system before testing is complete could collapse the Conceptual Network."
"If we don't activate it, there won't be a system left," Astria insisted. "I can adjust my balancing algorithm while it's running."
Leo issued the final order: "All universes, activate your concept monitoring nodes immediately! Begin establishing the Multiverse Ecological Network!"
As the order went out, dozens of universes activated their concept monitoring equipment simultaneously. Vast currents of conceptual energy began flowing through the Multiverse, forming an unprecedented network of consciousness.
Lin Ye experienced a sensation unlike anything he had ever felt-he could perceive the conceptual states of dozens of different universes at once. His Sagittarius Mark resonated with the entire network, and each universe's way of thinking left an imprint on his consciousness.
"The network is taking shape..." Astria's voice brimmed with excitement. "The conceptual flow is stabilizing!"
But the Transdimensional Entity's attacks were also intensifying. Sensing the threat posed by the new network, he began concentrating his fire on key
