Chapter 413

As the Star-Dust Train traveled through one of the multi-threads of the Symbiotic State, the Taiji Totem in Arui's palm suddenly burst into a halo intertwined with gilded gold and dark brown—its golden lines reorganized like a broken balance scale, and at its core, a fractured profit-loss mutual-causality totem materialized. Ice Drip's alarm halo took the form of a tilting scale, outlining an ever-expanding rift of existence across the star map: "Anomaly in addition and subtraction detected! In the origin of existence of the Symbiotic Universe, an 'Addition-Subtraction Cleaving Current' is stripping away the 'addition' (accumulation of existence) and 'subtraction' (consumption of existence) of all dimensions at a rate of 0.32%, attempting to dismantle the universe into a pure domain of absolute accumulation and a pure domain of total consumption." Outside the portholes, the balance of addition and subtraction that maintained the multiverse fractured like a broken scale. The "energy accumulation" and "energy consumption" of the War-Pattern clan were forcibly severed; their erupting magma continuously multiplied without cooling (addition without subtraction), while their solidified rocks constantly dissolved without replenishment (subtraction without addition). The photons of the Spectrum lost their governing law of additive-subtractive symbiosis; multiplying light particles split infinitely, causing energy overflow (addition out of control), while dissipating light particles …
