Queen Belsetia stood in front of that seemingly thin energy shield and suddenly found herself transported back many years to the moment she first sat on the Sovereignty Chair, first connected her nervous system to the AI cluster of the Sacred Stars Temple, listening to the chaotic, incomprehensible machine souls explode in her mind. It was the same sense of bewilderment, as if the confidence built over the years suddenly wavered, leaving only an unpredictable future ahead.
She remembered how she had fallen into a semi-conscious state on the Sovereignty Chair, sinking into negotiations, learning, and adaptation with those ancient AIs for several hours. Although later recorders noted that she was the best "ruler" of all time, she still did not wish to recall that state of complete loss of self-control.
