In the 118th year of the Star Dome Calendar, the neural resonance instrument of the Honey Mist Gear suddenly erupted with a piercing hum. Su Yuhan collapsed onto the deck, clutching her head as light spots resembling binary code pulsed at her temples. "Captain... the collective consciousness of the spiritual number rift is tearing apart! The binary torrent of the Data Clan is formatting the emotional matrix of the Soul Clan, and the symbiotic core shared by both races... is being eroded by the single-frequency virus of the Pure-Essence Council!"
Chen Feng gripped the Rainbow Core, its surface shadow-light patterns resonating with the rift's fluctuations. His fingers traced a honey-like data stream across the console. "Liu Ruyan, activate the spiritual number converter of the Honey Mist Gear. Jiang Xue, refine the shadow-light honey into a quantum gel that can be hosted by consciousness—data needs the soul to provide warmth, and the soul needs data to anchor its form."
As the ship breached the rift, the Data Clan’s cubic cities and the Soul Clan’s nebula temples were revealed. The projection of the Data Clan’s Speaker, composed of binary code, sounded as mechanical as a hard drive reading data: "Emotion is a system vulnerability. The Pure-Essence Council dictates that all souls must be formatted by the data torrent!"
