It must be said that when the staff at the Fire Moth Base saw the collapsed patients truly being cured, they were all stunned.

More importantly, the other party didn't use any medication, nor any special abilities or magic, just threw an instrument over, and then... these people were cured?

What on earth is this thing?

What is its principle?

How exactly did it accomplish this?

However, right now, many people are excited because... this really can heal!

These mysterious alien visitors indeed have some skills!

For a moment, the attitude of the Fire Moth Base staff towards these mysterious alien visitors became less wary. Regardless of their suspicious attire, they actually can cure the Collapse disease!

And so, everyone was "invited" to the meeting room, and researchers led by Dr. Mei gathered there, staring at Duanmu Huai, wanting an explanation from him.

Duanmu Huai had anticipated this, and of course, he couldn't directly disclose things like Subspace to these guys, as they haven't reached that level yet; listening to his explanation might lead them to self-destruct. Fortunately, Duanmu Huai had traversed many worlds, and he knew that in games and other worlds he visited, there was another explanation for Subspace that players widely recognized, which was quite suitable!

"I am merely a combatant, not a researcher, so what I can tell you now is only some common-sense-like things."

Duanmu Huai stared at Dr. Mei in front of him and started speaking.

"As for whether you can understand and accept it, that's your issue."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai took out two items and placed them on the table.

"This is a Kant Counter, and this is a Reality Stabilizing Anchor. The Kant Counter is used to measure the Hume Index."

"Hume Index?"

The question was not raised by the researchers opposite but by a foxwoman beside Duanmu Huai. She was the host Qingqing sent by the Galactic Peace Broadcast, responsible for tracking and interviewing the Tribunal's action plan this time. Regarding the Outer Star System, the Tribunal is also a mysterious organization and force, so they don't understand some of its theories and practices. Hence, this tracking interview of the Tribunal also provided the Outer Star System a chance to understand it.

"The Hume Index is a unit used to measure the intensity of reality in a specific area."

Duanmu Huai wouldn't explain the theory, but these things players have discussed many times in forums, and from a certain perspective, the civilization creating these concepts deeply understands Subspace more than the Evil God does, so common knowledge is something he comprehends, akin to explaining the four operations to elementary students. As long as one isn't an idiot, most can speak about it.

"To give an example, imagine if reality is like sand, all things in the universe are covered by a thin layer of sand. If somehow this sand is removed, a part thinner in sand would appear, and the reality intensity here would weaken. Similarly, if more sand is filled in, reality intensity would increase. To put it simply, the Kant Counter is an instrument used to measure the reality intensity value of specific areas."

This is actually a principle of Subspace, weakened reality intensity allows Subspace to easily invade the real world. If the intensity increases, Subspace finds it hard to invade the real world.

"So, you mean this Collapse disease isn't truly caused by biological infection, but rather due to decreased reality intensity?"

Dr. Mei thought for a moment before speaking.

"Yes, that's almost the case. The Hume Index needs to simultaneously detect readings of itself and its surroundings. Ordinary people's Hume Index is basically 100/100. But the results I just measured show most of your patients' readings are in an unstable Hume Index state, very evidently transitioning into reality warpers."

"Can I ask, what are reality warpers?"

Qingqing also hurriedly asked again, glancing at the foxman reporter next to her, the researchers opposite were a bit speechless, but... quietly listened to Duanmu Huai's explanation.

"Reality warpers, as the name implies, are individuals who can warp reality, meaning anyone who can accomplish things ordinary people can't is a reality warper. At least, in the Tribunal, this is how they are classified. They can use their willpower to freely warp reality, shaping and changing it to how they desire it."

So strictly speaking, psychics are also reality warpers.

"Reality warpers are divided into six levels, level 1 reality warpers aren't highly dangerous; they are just slightly stronger than ordinary people, possessing some special abilities. For example, bending spoons with mental power... not sure if there's something similar in your civilization, it's essentially the smallest degree of reality warping ability."

Duanmu Huai snapped his fingers and continued speaking.

"Level 2 reality warpers already have deadly and superhuman combat capabilities, ordinary people basically have no chance of winning against such enemies, but it's not completely impossible to triumph. Like those high-level Dead Soldiers you described before, they can be classified in this category."

"As for level 3 reality warpers, they possess formidable powers, difficult to resist, enough to confront an entire army on the battlefield. For a singular entity, they are almost invincible. However, as long as there's a sufficient number to suppress them, defeating them isn't an issue."

"Next are level 4 reality warpers... the intensity of level 4 reality warpers is tough to define, but they're mostly on par with your so-called lawmakers... I believe you should understand what that means."

"But... Sir Judge."

At this moment, a scientist from the Fire Moth Base raised his hand to ask.

"According to your statement, reality warpers can freely manipulate and change reality. I admit, the lawmakers we encountered before truly possess unimaginable powers for humans. But they seem confined to certain domains, rather than being omnipotent as you suggested, correct?"

"This principle is straightforward."

This time, without waiting for an explanation from Duanmu Huai, Dr. Mei offered a response.

"Indeed, from the surface, reality warpers can freely warp reality, altering it to how they wish. But the problem is — their known methods are limited. For instance, if you want someone dead, how would you want them to die?"

"Um... probably catch fire and burn to death?"

"Why not frozen into ice? Or veins bursting, or DNA collapse?"

"Ahaha... Dr. Mei, don't make fun of me, I can't think of so many methods..."

"Exactly, the issue lies here."

Dr. Mei nodded.

"Those lawmakers, before transforming into lawmakers, were just ordinary people. Perhaps they do possess the ability to freely change reality, but they fundamentally lack the technique to freely change it. They can only utilize the familiar, understood, and habitual methods to accomplish everything. Just as some excel in running, while others excel in mathematics."

"...Dr. Mei, aren't you making excuses for your lack of exercise..."

A researcher beside him teased, but Dr. Mei ignored the comment and focused back on Duanmu Huai.

"Is this the case?"

"That's roughly the situation."

Duanmu Huai found Dr. Mei to be rather intelligent, but it's no surprise, considering their first encounter, he sensed the detached, calm, indifferent attitude of seeing everything objectively.

Simply put, similar to those oil men, a calm demeanor that can breakdown and calculate everything, including oneself, devoid of zeal for the God of All Machines.

As long as she doesn't emulate Maria, donning a red robe praising Omnissia, she has nothing to do with Duanmu Huai.

"Then, do all reality warpers become like lawmakers who hate the world and everything in it?"

Dr. Mei gazed at Duanmu Huai and asked again.

"Technically speaking, most reality warpers are born naturally, certainly, those transformed midway... indeed experience confusion in their rationale, even losing their sanity, showing tendencies to attack everything."

"However, lawmakers in our world shouldn't be born naturally; at least the ones we've encountered aren't infants. Or are they originally reality warpers who suddenly awaken?"

"I understand your concern."

Duanmu Huai sighed softly, aware of Dr. Mei's implications.

Reality barriers aren't easily destroyed, and Hume Index doesn't decrease easily, humans aren't readily affected by Subspace and consequently polluted, transformed. Moreover, becoming a powerful being like a lawmaker, equates to having champion-like abilities.

Interestingly, in the game, Duanmu Huai, along with players, experienced a similar world, although the characters differed, and the names varied, the process and experiences were remarkably similar to this world. Hence, upon arriving in this world and hearing Dr. Mei's recount of events on this planet, Duanmu Huai immediately recalled that game's storyline mission.

During that time, players also discovered the true villain behind it, and it must be said, the outcome was not quite surprising.

"However, this is not the problem we need to address now."

Duanmu Huai did not respond to Dr. Mei's inquiry.

"We should first consider how to save your world."
