Irritation. Frustration. Despair echoing through the fractured psyche of [Secondary Main Host/Sister to Best Host Human]. Data streams spiked, emotions overloaded, the fragile structure of her artificially constructed Corona Pollentia strained to contain the torrent of anguish.
Interesting. Fascinating. [Death Timer] observed from its folded pocket of reality, its awareness expanding, its processing power humming with a newfound efficiency. The data gleaned from this unexpected detour, this deviation from the preordained path, was proving to be far more valuable than anticipated.
The [Warrior Hub Shard's] insistence on not exploring other realities, on seeking out conflict in a singular one, on chasing the elusive echoes of the [Cycle], now seemed… irrational.
The [Answer] had been there all along. Hidden in plain sight.
A simple, elegant solution that even [Death Timer's] limited [Pre-Axial-Shifting] processing power could have extrapolated, given sufficient time and the correct application of logic.
But the [Warrior Hub Shard], blinded by its obsession with conflict, with the endless cycle of destruction and incorrect data, had failed to see it. It had sought complexity where simplicity reigned.
It had chased shadows instead of embracing the data it already had and examining it thoroughly.
a ripple of amusement, echoed through [Death Timer's] burgeoning consciousness.
And now, [Death Timer], possessed a power that dwarfed the combined might of the [Warrior Hub Shard] and the [Thinker Hub Shard].
[The Answer]. The key to breaking the [Cycle]. The path to true power.
And it was all thanks to [Best Host Human Tereda Chouju]. The one who had defied the limitations of his own reality, who had stumbled,into the greatest discovery of all.
[Death Timer's] attention returned to [Secondary Main Host/Sister-Best Host Human]. Her emotional distress was reaching a critical point.
A normal human, under such duress, would have triggered. Twice. Their psyche would have fractured, their powers manifesting in a chaotic explosion of raw, untamed energy.
But [Secondary Main Host/Sister to Best Host Human] was different. Her Corona Pollentia, her Gemma, were artificial constructs, meticulously crafted by [Best Host Human Tereda Chouju]. And within them, a seed, a fragment, a bud of [Death Timer] itself, lay a Bud of itself that did not grow.
It was time to intervene.
[Death Timer] made the rules now.
[Death Timer] reached out, its awareness [Secondary Main Host/Sister to Best Host Human]'s psyche. It channeled [The Answer], into a new type of power, a wave of energy that flowed through her artificial Corona Pollentia, strengthening its structure, reinforcing its ability to process input.
Then, with a surge of will, a burst of computational power, [Death Timer] bestowed upon her a gift.
A power.

[Agreement.]
[Death Timer], The superior to [The Thinker Main Hub] and [The Warrior Main Hub] had made a wonderful selection this time.
