The Universe
I sensed intuitively that the cosmic symphony emanating from the crystal ball was complex, requiring vast amounts of time and knowledge to comprehend. However, I noticed that the music contained a faint distortion, a dissonance. I was convinced that this was the result of a distortion in the timeline caused by the shadow of the Atlantis civilization.
“This dissonance… it’s a distortion of the timeline,” I murmured quietly. The Librarian and the Historian nodded solemnly at my words.
The Historian pulled out a weathered parchment. “According to the records of the Atlantis civilization, this crystal ball is said to be a device for controlling the energy of the universe. However, the method of control has yet to be elucidated…”
The Librarian lightly tapped his staff against the ground, sensing the air around him as if probing for magical energy. “It seems this paradise itself is sustained by the energy of the crystal ball. If we fail to control its energy… the paradise will collapse, and the entire Mirror World may vanish…”
Those words sent a chill down my spine. The beautiful scenery of the paradise was nothing more than a fragile balance.
I approached the crystal ball and touched its surface once more. This time, I focused my consciousness on the symphony of the universe, attempting to pinpoint the dissonance. It was like solving a gigantic puzzle. Countless musical notes were intricately intertwined, and finding the distortion hidden within them was no easy task.
But I did not give up. I mobilized every resource at my disposal: my immortal vitality, the knowledge cultivated through years of research, and the ability to interpret mathematical formulas and music honed through the “Infinite Book.” Taking my time, I analyzed each note one by one, searching for the cause of the distortion.
Eventually, I succeeded in pinpointing the source of that dissonance. “...It is at the very center of this crystal ball... there, the shadow of the Atlantis civilization is interfering...” I was convinced of this. I now needed to find a way to get to the heart of the matter.
The librarian and the historian could not hide their astonishment at my discovery. “Mr. Mitamu... you truly... possess astonishing abilities...” the librarian exclaimed in admiration. The historian, looking excited, began taking notes. “This is a historic discovery in the study of the Atlantis civilization!”
However, that joy was short-lived; an even more powerful wave of energy was emitted from the crystal ball. The entire Paradise began to tremble. Something was about to happen. I braced myself.
