Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

"Don't worry, it will be triggered when you reach the ninth level of this spatial ruin."

"Oh right, there's one more thing I forgot to mention. You can put the pursuit of cosmic viruses on hold for now."

"The cosmic virus can be described as a complete decoy."

"It's just a lure that creates three dimensions and deflects the direction of the investigation."

"Okay, let's get back to the main topic."

"You and the manager naturally broke out into a fight."

"That battle...tsk tsk tsk, it's...indescribable."

"If I had to put it in words, it would be nothingness. In the end, everything became nothingness, including all the ideas and goals of the managers."

"In fact, the consequences of the people and forces that joined you in the final battle are almost on par with the final stage of a dimensional collision."

"But your battles will not produce any colored crystal fragments."

"The manager can't advance to the next level, and you don't want all three dimensions to be destroyed like this, so you've temporarily reached a truce."

"You are using the colored crystal fragments and your last remaining abilities to try and turn everything around."

"I won't go into the hardships involved, but fortunately, you succeeded."

"The dimension has reverted to a stage where you can re-engage."

"This can also explain why you are absolutely unique, but your future self will be able to break this thing to some extent."

"Because strictly speaking, your shadow exists in all three dimensions; you exist simultaneously in the past, present, and future."

"And with the colored crystal fragments, you can even appear in every part of the three-dimensional universe at the same time."

"Oh right, this ability and authority is something managers don't have; it's one of the last trump cards we're given to you across the three dimensions."

"Hehe, isn't it incredible?" The golden figure laughed smugly, his posture exactly the same as Lin Yi's.

"Dimensions are also conscious, so of course they know what you are doing. They just can't directly stop you or offer help."

"Therefore, absolute uniqueness does not completely limit us."

After his initial smugness, the golden figure gave a serious warning: "Of course, don't get too excited, and don't easily touch the Absolute Uniqueness unless absolutely necessary. After all, this authority is also a dangerous thing for us."

"Just like the saying goes, if you play with time, time will play with you."

"Absolute uniqueness is also like this, and even more so."

"Okay, let's get back to the point. Have you already sensed that the administrators seem to want you to regain your memories, but don't want you to fully regain them?"

Lin Yi nodded. That's right, he had noticed the manager's unusual behavior long ago.

Now that "itself" has brought it up, we can be certain of it again.

"Yes, the reason I don't want you to fully regain your memories is because once you do, you'll definitely stop him again."

"The reason we want you to regain some of your memories is because after you traced back the dimensions, you discovered that the colored dimensional crystal fragments were not only necessary for dimensional ascension, but also part of the dimensions themselves."

That makes perfect sense. Lin Yi had already thought of that. After all, the dimensional crystal fragments were created by dimensional collisions. So what else could they be but fragments of broken dimensions?

"Managers need colored crystal fragments to trigger a deeper and greater collision."

"Each colored diatom fragment records different information. The managers believe that breaking absolute uniqueness is the ability given to you by your particular colored diatom fragment."

"And in fact, it's pretty much the same, because dimensions can't give you real-time feedback and help, which would cause instability and tendencies in the dimensions themselves."

"This tendency will lead you toward a future where you gradually master all three dimensions. This is something that dimensional consciousness does not want to see."

"So the three dimensions recorded several trump cards in your colored dimensional crystal fragment."

"This also explains why your future self has the ability to break absolute uniqueness, while your current self does not."

"That's because you don't have that crystal fragment on you right now."

The golden figure spoke at length, then paused, seemingly giving himself ample time to process the information.

Lin Yi did find the information a bit confusing, but it wasn't actually that complicated. After sorting it out a little, many phenomena and things he didn't understand before automatically connected into a coherent whole.

So, Quantum Morgan really did see his future self, and the orange gem he gave himself was indeed an action of his future self. But what about the origin of the Dimensional Stone... and why did he put it in the Time Management Bureau?

No, no, no, it might not have been placed there by myself. Okay, there are still many things. Lin Yi doesn't understand the specific reason for the time being, but it doesn't matter. Now we're all on the same page.

The question now is, where is that colored fibrous crystal fragment?

Lin Yi had a guess, and he felt that his guess was correct.

"That's right," the golden figure said at this moment.

"You hid the colored crystal fragment in the spatial ruins, and the time cycle of 18 times in a specific phase is the condition for that colored crystal fragment to appear in a specific time period, which is the current time period."

"You possess the key to reclaim that colored crystal fragment, which is why the administrators wanted you to regain some of your memories. Now you understand completely!"

Lin Yi suddenly realized, "Damn, that makes sense!"

So it's because you didn't know why you left the colored crystal fragments in the spatial ruins?

Moreover, the specific cycle of eighteen specific time periods can ensure that no matter which spatial ruin it is, its own colored crystal fragment will appear.

Why would 18 time loops be included in his future plans? That's quite risky. What if the managers or Tony don't follow this path?

In Lin Yi's view, this was indeed a bit risky, but it was his own decision for the future, and he could understand his actions.

After all, starting over involves more uncertainty.

"Oh, right, this is for you." The golden figure suddenly pushed something over.

"You've heard of this thing as a key more than once. It really is a key, used in conjunction with your specific method to open the key that stores the colored crystal fragments."

Lin Yi looked down and saw that the golden figure was pushing a gemstone towards him.

One, an orange gem, but not a dimensional gem; rather, an orange gem used to enhance the piloting authority of a dimensional shuttle...
