Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 863

Chapter 863: Chapter 863 - Taming the Fifth Year - The Board Completed

Orion began moving calmly toward the protected position where the encounter with Selphira would occur if she dared to enter, measured steps communicating confidence instead of any kind of nervous hurry.

While walking, his mind processed aspects of the situation providing considerable satisfaction.

They could never have a real advantage even if they really had managed to reach the Brain in Yino’s depths.

Its security was layered.

Layer 1 - Physical access. You had to get to the chamber. That alone had stopped everyone for a while thanks to the abundant and insanely hard corruption crystal roots.

Layer 2 - Activation. Although to communicate with the device you only needed to physically touch it, the interface only responding to direct contact in a manner not requiring specialized knowledge to activate, it only functioned when the 7 cores were properly connected in their indentations surrounding the Brain’s base.

No cores meant no activation. A simple physical lock that couldn’t be bypassed through clever techniques or superior power.

And Orion had the only keys.

Layer 3 - Comprehension. This was the layer that gave Orion particular satisfaction.

Even if they somehow recovered the 7 cores, which Orion considered extremely unlikely given his current force deployments, the information the Brain provided was completely cryptic if you didn’t have the necessary means to decipher it appropriately.

It wasn’t a question of simply listening and understanding immediately. It was a complex translation process requiring keys.

Without the tools the corrupt crystal of Yino created, or a medium capable of interfacing with ancient systems, the data and concepts the Brain used to encode information meant someone could spend years studying output without comprehending the true meaning of what they were seeing.

The Brain didn’t communicate in modern language.

Didn’t use current terminology.

Didn’t organize information according to frameworks contemporary scholars would recognize.

It used the old civilization’s systems. Their mathematics, their physics, their understanding of mana that was simultaneously more sophisticated and more alien than anything current academies taught.

It would be like observing advanced mathematical equations without understanding the basic operations composing them.

Without the decryption framework, without the translation tools, without the conceptual foundations the corrupted crystal had of the old civilization...

The Brain was useless. A beautiful, fascinating, completely useless artifact.

Orion had some of those tools. Had studied them, had spent 3 years learning to use them effectively.

He could extract maybe 40-50% of what the Brain contained now. With the second part, with more time, he’d reach 90-95%.

That gap, between 10% comprehension and 70% comprehension, was the gap between interesting discovery and civilization-changing advantage.

With tools, papers, and books hidden in locations only he knew, Orion smiled again.

His expression was still serene, his steps confident and his posture of someone completely controlling the situation rather than someone negotiating from a position of weakness.

Selphira would come expecting a trap because she wasn’t stupid. Couldn’t have survived 4 centuries being stupid.

But she couldn’t anticipate all the planning layers he’d invested in this moment.

And by the time she recognized the complete extent of what she faced, it would be too late to withdraw without consequences forcing her to accept exactly what Orion wanted.

The board was prepared.

The pieces were positioned...

And the game was about to enter a phase where mistakes couldn’t be easily corrected.

He reached the protected position... a chamber underground, accessible through 1 tunnel route.

Victor was there. Alive... Relatively, what was necessary to maintain containment.
