This outdated piece of equipment had finally become useful again.
And there were plenty of them left anyway.
He might as well treat it as clearing old inventory.
Lin Yi looked at the still-dazed Memory Keeper and sighed helplessly.
"What are you standing there for?"
"The memoria has already been scattered. Do what you're supposed to do."
He spoke to Zhili.
Zhili shook her head.
"I can't."
"This isn't a primitive memoria domain like Penacony, nor is it the Garden of Recollection."
She raised her hand and gently touched the invisible memoria particles in the air.
"The space here is far too vast."
"You released a huge amount of memoria, and its quality is very high."
"But it's like pouring ink into the ocean."
"The black ink will inevitably disperse."
"The waves of the sea will dilute it until it disappears."
"And besides, turbulent flowing memoria cannot create a stable and peaceful dream."
Zhili explained the problem.
The problem wasn't her—
It was the environmental conditions.
Lin Yi waved his hand dismissively.
"Oh, I thought it was something serious."
"If the ink gets diluted, then just keep pouring more."
"And if this 'ink bottle' can't keep up with the rate of dispersion…"
"Then I'll just open the floodgates."
As he spoke, Lin Yi tossed a crystal upward.
A crystal he had "picked up" from the Garden of Recollection.
Picked up right in front of Fuli, no less.
Fortunately, Fuli only records events without interfering.
As the crystal began falling in front of him, Lin Yi raised a talisman.
Shrink the Earth to an Inch.
He lightly slapped the talisman in Dekara's direction.
As mentioned before—
Shrink the Earth to an Inch did not move through space.
It had speed and direction.
The crystal accelerated to extreme velocity.
It tore through the air with a thunderous roar.
Friction ignited it into a blazing streak of fire.
Like a laser beam, the glowing trail shot directly toward Dekara.

As expected—
Dekara reacted instantly.
He swung his lightning spear and shattered the crystal effortlessly.
But in doing so—
He released an enormous amount of high-density memoria stored inside it.
Dekara sensed something wrong.
He looked around uneasily.
The lightning spear twitched restlessly.

Battlefield environment beginning to change.
You blocked that one.
But what about these?
Will you block them too?
Lin Yi kept firing more memoria crystals.
One after another.
The system notifications from Game of Life kept chiming nonstop.
Lin Yi was already annoyed enough that he wanted to mute it.
But he endured the noise.
Crystals shot forward continuously.
Streams of blazing light rained down upon Dekara.
Dekara swung his lightning spear wildly.
He shattered one crystal after another.
The concentration of memoria around him rose rapidly.
Occasionally, a crystal slipped past his defenses and struck his body.
Crack.
Game of Life Perspective
HP −1
Dekara's health bar remained absurdly massive.
Thick beyond reason.
The damage was negligible.
The humiliation, however, was enormous.
In fact, that −1 damage probably came from Game of Life forcibly deducting it.
Even with his chaotic mind—
Dekara felt anger and irritation.
And after realizing that these tiny attacks posed no real threat—
He roared.
Dekara leapt from his throne and charged toward Lin Yi.
Lin Yi calmly launched a massive memoria crystal.
Its largest diameter was 134 meters.
Its smallest diameter was 84 meters.
BOOM.
Dekara was knocked backward in midair.
He crashed back onto his throne and nearly lost his balance.
Game of Life Perspective
Critical Hit −327
Knockback
Taunt
His health bar still barely moved.
But Lin Yi pressed the advantage.
He launched more than ten crystals of similar size.
Dekara roared again and prepared to throw his lightning spear.
At that exact moment—
Lin Yi launched a colossal memoria crystal.
Diameter: 13 kilometers.
At that scale—
It could practically be called a celestial body.
The earlier attacks had merely been testing the waters.
Now he was getting serious.
Lin Yi had only managed to "pick up" one crystal of that size from the Garden of Recollection.
This move was truly spending big.
The lightning spear pierced straight through the crystal.
Its power remained undiminished as it rushed toward Lin Yi.

Lin Yi grabbed Zhili again and stepped sideways.
They vanished.
Dodging Dekara's attack.
He wondered briefly whether Zhili got motion sickness from spatial jumps.
They reappeared on another stretch of land.
Lin Yi looked toward Dekara.
Half taunting, half serious.
"See?"
"Enemies without brains are easier to deal with."
Then he turned to Zhili.
"Well?"
"The memoria density should be enough now, right?"
"At this concentration, even dispersing it would take a long time."
Zhili nodded with genuine admiration.
"Indeed."
"This amount of memoria rivals the total recovered from Asdana Prison."
"From the day that prison was built until the day it collapsed."
That compliment was… somewhat dark humor.
Lin Yi clutched his chest in mock pain.
"Of course it's enough."
"I basically spent every memoria crystal I 'picked up' from the Garden of Recollection."
"Not a single one left."
Zhili's face darkened.
Oh no.
She had just realized where all of this memoria had come from.
It had been stolen from the Garden of Recollection.
No wonder he spent it so casually.
It wasn't his property.
Before she could say anything—
She noticed another lightning spear flying toward them.
Zhili screamed:
"Watch out!!"
Lin Yi's eyes narrowed.
His instincts screamed extreme danger.
Without hesitation, he grabbed Zhili and jumped away again.
Only after landing did he finally look back.
"What?"
"Why is there another spear?"
"Didn't he already throw one?"
"Does he have more than one?"
Zhili shook her head.
"Sorry… I didn't see clearly."
She had already begun manipulating the flow of memoria.
Her attention hadn't been on the battlefield.
"It's fine."
"I'll check the replay."

Opening Battle Replay.
In the replay—
The spear had appeared suddenly.
Seeing Zhili's confusion, Lin Yi explained.
"This is the effect of the curio."
"I'll share my viewing perspective with you."

Multiplayer Mode Activated.
Zhili gasped.
"…What an incredible curio."
But she didn't ask further questions.
She respected boundaries.
She focused on the spear.
"The spear Dekara threw earlier disappeared at the same moment this one appeared."
"Is that… spatial movement?"
She asked Lin Yi.
After all, in matters of space—
He was the expert.
Lin Yi's expression grew serious.
"No."
"…It's not."
