The dimensional audience had never quite understood why the Tendo insisted on keeping the "burden" of Danica with him at all times.
Although many long-time fans who had followed the first season, combined with the numerous clues in the second season, had long guessed Danica's true identity was likely the "relic" of the Gear Church.
She was the "thing" that Bishop Cleve and others had Vivian steal and search for.
But knowing what the relic was is one thing, and knowing its effect is another.
The dimensional audience finally got an answer to this question when Tendo brought Danica to the Quantum Cube.
The reason Tendo had been carrying Danica was simple: this seemingly insignificant little one actually possessed a near-bug-level ability to "make words come true"!
Inside the Quantum Cube, as the outline of the brass gear became fainter under the terrifying data assimilation of the Quantum Cube, the shaking of the entire quantum space became more intense and obvious.
Even outside, Chen Kong and the others were shaken off their feet by the increasingly violent tremors.
After an unknown amount of time, with a crisp snap, the brass gear finally broke down into wisps of golden quantum data particles.
These quantum data particles were like gold dust scattered by the wind, lightly sticking to the walls of the Quantum Cube and eventually forming a large number of dense, gear-like patterns.
However, these patterns represented the rules originally contained in the brass gear, not the rules Tendo wanted. They needed a certain degree of "modification" and "reformation."
Therefore, after seeing that the Quantum Cube had successfully "swallowed" the "power of the book" contained within the brass gear, Tendo turned to look at Danica.
Seeing this, Danica nodded in understanding and then straightened her small frame.
The cowlick on top of her head, which always loved to wiggle around, suddenly stood up like an antenna, catching the surrounding quantum fluctuations.
Her emerald green hair faded to a silvery white at a visible rate, and her eyes lit up with the unique glow of an Automaton Star Envoy's overclocked calculation.
The next second, something unexpected happened to the dimensional audience.
As Danica's small mouth parted and she unconsciously chanted something, the golden gear patterns on the Quantum Cube's walls suddenly began to twist and reorganize as if they were alive!
This was the special ability that only Danica, as a living "Word," could possess: the reshaping of "rules."
Even Tendo couldn't do this.
But because there were simply too many "Words" that needed to be modified in the Quantum Cube, little Danica's silver eyes gradually misted over, and her small face turned red. She was clearly struggling to hold on.
"Focus, Danica."
Just as she was about to give up, Tendo's hand gently rested on her shoulder.
A warm stream of Star Energy flowed into her body, replenishing the strength that she was about to exhaust.
At the same time, Tendo used the "data link" unique to the Automaton series on Danica.
He added his own "overclocked calculation" to the little one, allowing her to have "computational power" far beyond her own level.
Under these circumstances, little Danica's condition quickly stabilized.
She took a deep breath and extended her small, fair hand forward.
The next second, the cowlick on her head suddenly burst with a silvery white arc of light, and countless light spots flew out of her body.
These light spots, like guided fireflies, eagerly drilled into the golden gear patterns on the Quantum Cube's walls.
Slowly, the originally chaotic quantum data patterns, upon contact with Danica's light spots, began to flow along a fixed path and gradually formed special symbols.
At the same time, information about little Danica appeared on the screen for the dimensional audience.
[Name: Danica]
[Level: Unknown]
[Star Source: Unknown]
[Star Source Effect: Under certain conditions, can create some temporary or permanent special rules based on one's own thoughts.]
'Holy crap! Little Danica's ability is way too broken! She's a natural rule-maker!'
'So this is the prototype of the [Law]? It looks so sacred...'
'Am I the only one who noticed Tendo's Star-Eclipse Vision is glowing? He's helping the little one stabilize her energy!'
The comments on the dimensional screen scrolled rapidly as the scene shifted to the battlefield of Chen Kong and the others outside the Quantum Cube.
Because Tendo's Quantum Cube had devoured the "Brass Gear," the entire quantum space temporarily lost its stable "quantum core," causing a large number of tremors.
Taking advantage of this sudden change, Chen Kong seized the opportunity to hug Vivian, who was in a state of "personality deficit," and injected a gentle stream of Star Energy into the back of her heart with all his might.
However, this process was not as smooth as Chen Kong had imagined.
The gentle Star Energy, upon entering Vivian's body, seemed to hit a copper wall. The girl, whose personality was taken over by an Automaton, immediately mobilized her internal energy to counterattack.
This pure Star Energy competition made Chen Kong, who had a mediocre Star Energy value, feel instantly strained.
Fortunately, he was not alone at this moment.
"Vice-Captain Yu, quickly stabilize her! Her Automaton core is resisting the 'Dustification' of my Sky Mark!"
Hearing this, Yu Chen gritted his teeth, raised his injured right arm, and firmly held Vivian's sword-wielding wrist.
But soon, Yu Chen felt the immense force coming from her slender wrist.
"No, Kong, I can't hold her! Her Star Energy fluctuations are almost at the captain level!"
Before Yu Chen's words could finish, a red light suddenly flashed in Vivian's empty eyes.
Then, the second hand saber in her right hand suddenly disappeared and quickly re-formed in her left hand, turning into a cold light that shot toward Yu Chen's throat!
In the nick of time, a golden arm grabbed her from the side, precisely wrapping around Vivian's wrist.
The owner of the arm was Chen Kong, who had used the Dreamweaver to replicate Liu Ma's Star Source and activated his Golden Body.
With a "pig head" face that still hadn't completely healed from Tendo's beating, he bared his teeth and shouted, "Vivian, you're really insane, trying to kill the very companions who are saving you!"
Hearing this roar, Vivian's movements paused for a fleeting moment, and a hint of wavering appeared in her eyes.
However, this struggle didn't last long and was quickly covered by the rationality and coldness unique to the Automaton persona.
At the same time, on the brass tower outside the quantum space, a harsh sound of something cutting through the air suddenly came from the distant horizon.
The Association Star Envoys guarding the outside looked up and saw a pale golden Automaton warship breaking through the clouds and hovering directly above the Steam Forge.
The warship's hatch opened, and a figure wearing a pale golden mecha slowly descended in front of everyone.
The surface of his armor was engraved with complex quantum patterns, and a green diamond-shaped emblem was embedded in his chest.
This emblem represented the symbol of the Iron Dome family and the high-ranking priests of the Mechanical God cult.
The newcomer took off his helmet, revealing an expressionless mechanical face.
His electronic eyes scanned the Steam Guild members left outside, finally stopping on the Steam Forge, which was clearly having problems.
