As the Stardust Train crossed the Cygnus supernova remnant, the Symbiotic Network mark on Arui's palm suddenly transformed into neuron-like synaptic patterns. Golden bands of light vibrated at high frequency like brain waves, with each synaptic node corresponding to the resonance frequency of the cosmic consciousness dimension, while a shattered soul totem materialized at the core. Ice Drip's warning halo coiled in a spiral, outlining a continuously disintegrating consciousness network on the star map: "An anomaly has been detected in the Spirit Hub! At the center of the cosmic consciousness sea, there exists a 'Spirit Hub Civilization' composed of pure mental energy. Its consciousness resonance is collapsing at a rate of 0.32% into a monolithic thought hegemony."
Outside the porthole, the consciousness nebulae that sustained mental connections between civilizations were withering like faded nerve fibers, and stars were twisted into eerie cerebral cortex shapes under the erosion of consciousness turbulence. Aori's Photon Harp String emitted a buzzer-like sound resembling an NMR machine. The light particles condensing on the string formed thought symbols only to disintegrate into quantum noise the moment they touched the Spirit Hub turbulence: "The polarization directions of those consciousness fields are completely chaotic," he pointed out, gesturing toward the dimming nebula. "The Spirit Hub Civilization is using 'absolute rationality' to crush all heterogeneous thoughts, c…
