Chapter 17 - Observers from Beyond

The indescribable presence of the twisted rift in space is becoming clearer and clearer. They weren't capturable with conventional vision, but were perceived in a deeper way - like a consciousness teetering on the edge of a dream.

"Interesting," Elizabeth's voice came through the radio, a frenzied excitement in her tone, "He's finally noticed.The true purpose of the Genesis Protocol... Is to attract His attention!"

[Warning:

Ultra-dimensional biome detected

Number: uncountable

Intent: Unknown

Danger level: ∞+]

"Is this your true plan?" I maintained the Chaos Symphony while questioning, "Using us... To lure these existences?"

Victor's crystal form suddenly began to resonate, "So... We're all just bait.Elizabeth, you're crazier than I thought!"

In the lab, Elizabeth finally revealed her true colors. Through the monitor screen, I saw that her form was no longer human - her body was partially crystallized, emitting a bizarre purple light.

"Insanity? No, it's inevitable!" Her voice came from multiple dimensions at once, "Human evolution has been trapped in three dimensions for too long. To truly break through, we need 'guidance' from higher dimensions!"

Just then, those higher dimensional existences began to react to the Chaos Symphony. The energy fluctuations released by Him caused the entire reality to tremble.

[Urgent Warning:

Reality stability is severely degraded

Detection of dimensional barriers being penetrated

Human cognition is about to reach its limits]

"System," I struggle to stay awake through the violent energy fluctuations, "Analyze the nature of these existences!"

[Analyzing...

Error!

Human language cannot describe it.

Try to convert to understandable concepts:

- Analogies: They are like 'programmers' of reality.

- Our universe could be one of their programs.

- Now this 'program' has taken an unexpected turn...]

Suddenly, a higher-dimensional being made direct contact with my consciousness. In that instant, I felt an indescribable flood of information:

Saw the source code of the universe.

Saw the true form of time.

Saw countless parallel universes created and disappeared like bubbles.

Saw... ...Elizabeth's ultimate goal.

"Oh my god..." I finally realized, "You want to... Rewrite the underlying code of reality!"

Elizabeth laughed out loud, "EXACTLY! And you, my dear angel, your Chaos Symphony provides just the perfect medium!"

At that moment, Victor suddenly made an unexpected move. His crystalline form began to disintegrate of its own accord, "No, this is too dangerous. Even I... Also know that there are some boundaries that cannot be crossed!"

But it was already too late. The higher dimensional existences had already been drawn in, and they began to intervene in this experiment. Reality began to reorganize as if pulled by countless invisible hands.

"Jack!" I shouted over the communicator, "Activate the Doomsday Protocol immediately! Evacuate with everyone!"

"But what about you?"

"Trust me, I have a plan!"

Mobilizing all of my Chaos energy, I began to channel those higher dimensional energies, but not in the way Elizabeth had done, but...

"Chaos Symphony: Ultimate Movement - Reality Firewall!"

The seven-colored notes of energy transformed into a massive firewall that began to isolate the higher dimensional being from direct intervention. This one was inspired by me in another timeline - a top-notch hacker.

"No!" Elizabeth screamed, "You're destroying everything!"

"No," I gave a determined look, "I'm saving the autonomy of reality!"

The system suddenly gives its support, "Viable solution detected!

Suggestion: utilize Chaos Symphony

Not as an invitation.

Rather as... Firewall!"

But the cost of doing so...

"I know," I smiled bitterly, 'it takes a strong enough 'firewall node'."

That is to say, a vessel is needed to permanently maintain this firewall.

And that container is me since myself.
