Lynn did not rashly approach or reveal himself. Still in his ghost state, he narrowed his eyes and carefully studied the Digital Terminal he had found.
Yes.
Light Banquet's Supreme Frame, which he had stolen, still lay quietly in his system space.
The face with its eyes closed was not merely similar to the Digital Terminal before him-it was utterly identical. Yet according to the information he had obtained, the Mechanical Church should have dismembered this Machine God after he had penetrated Light Banquet's body.
The countless Machine Intelligence consciousnesses that had appeared afterward were the best proof.
