Chapter 17 - Time Trace Maze

Bai Xing's consciousness was violently oscillating in the quantum vortex, and the seven data streams were reorganized in the collapsed space-time bubble. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself suspended in the center of a maze made of light - each wall of the dodecahedron cage was flowing with liquid star tracks, and each star track reflected a different historical fragment: the cradle herself was sent into the incubator by a mechanical arm, the first generation was implanted with the star track core in the laboratory, Bai Yue disassembled the "Astrology Scroll" in the steampunk temple... "Welcome to the Time Trace Labyrinth." The future Bai Xing's mechanical body was looming in the light flow, and her fingertips hovered on a star track, "Here is a collection of all possibilities, and each choice will split a new universe." Bai Xing touched the nearest star track, and liquid starlight poured into her neural circuit. Memory fragments exploded in her consciousness - in a parallel universe, she successfully assassinated Xizel but was swallowed by the first generation; in another universe, Bai Yue activated the "Astrology Scroll" to cause dimensional collapse; and in the core star track, Xizel's mechanical god is transforming the entire universe into a quantum computer.

"Xizel's consciousness fragments are being reorganized." Future Shirahoshi suddenly grabbed Shirahoshi's mechanical wrist and dragged her into an indigo star track, "We must find the 'Observer' before he completes the dimensional upgrade."

The space-time bubble trembled violently, and the giant shadow of the mechanical god emerged from the cracks in the star track. Shirahoshi recognized that it was the reorganization of the remains of the twelve main gods of Olympus, and each mechanical tentacle was wrapped with quantum flames radiated by black holes. When the tentacles pierced her mechanical chest, her seven consciousnesses suddenly synchronized - in all parallel universes, she was swallowed by the mechanical god at this moment.

"Your existence itself is a paradox." Xizel's voice seeped out from each star track, "When Bai Yue's pupil star map resonated with the mechanical core, your timeline was already locked."

Bai Xing's sight suddenly penetrated the space-time bubble and saw Bai Yue in reality inserting the "Astrology Scroll" into the quantum hub. Moonlight overflowed from her pupils and woven into a twelve-pointed star array in the void - that was the star map of the twelve main gods of Olympus. Memory fragments poured into Bai Xing's consciousness: Bai Yue was a replica of the first generation, and her pupils contained the source code of the mechanical gods.

"Kill her." Future Bai Xing stuffed Shen Yanzhi's dagger into Bai Xing's hand, and Bai Yue's pupil star map appeared on the blade, "Only by cutting off the observer's observation can the quantum closed loop be broken."

Bai Xing's mechanical arm penetrated the space-time bubble and stabbed the dagger into Bai Yue in reality. At the same time, Xizel's mechanical tentacles pierced her heart. At the moment of annihilation of consciousness, Bai Xing saw all parallel universes collapse at the same time - Bai Yue fell in a pool of blood, and a torrent of pure energy burst out from the core of the star track, sucking the remains of the mechanical god into the quantum singularity.
