Chapter 140

The False God Anchor hovered in the dead void. The fractures on its massive geometric surface had been completely smoothed over by the flowing light of the pseudo-logic, and the cold, gray-purple radiance resumed its steady flow, as if the violent tremors from the recent blow had never occurred. Only deep within the core furnace, the constant scar left by Olivia remained etched, defying the scouring of the eternal flowing fire like a fragment of meteor iron deep in the base of a glacier, forever unmelting. A cold torrent of data surged within the anchor body, and the planetary surface scan information filtering completed: [Surface biological traces: None] [Macro-structural annihilation: Completed] [Deep information residual risk: Approaching zero] [Secondary task: Recapture abnormal annihilation energy core — Seed Crystal... Signal lost... Deep scan redeployed...] Beneath the anchor, deep within the gloomy stellar shadow of the planet, a faint blue light drifted in the void, like a lost firefly. The Seed Crystal. The tiny blue point at its core, like a candle flame whipped by a bitter wind, flickered on the verge of extinction. It hovered in the narrow gap between the absolute nothingness detonated by the law bomb and the residual will of the false god, so fragile it seemed it would return to annihilation the next second.
