Yumiko paused for a moment before continuing her explanation, and the brief silence between them carried a weight that immediately caught Ethan's attention.
[And this development gives me a much clearer idea.]
"What kind of idea are you talking about?"
Yumiko answered without hesitation.
[Originally my plan was to sacrifice your Infinity Strand and merge with the World System.]
The moment those words entered his mind, Ethan's expression shifted into visible surprise.
"You were planning to sacrifice my Infinity Law completely?"
[Yes. It was the most logical option available at the time.]
Her voice carried no emotional fluctuation as she continued.
[If I merged with the World System successfully, I would be able to evolve my internal growth function.]
[Once that process stabilized, I would be able to double the number of evolution points you gain every single day.]
Ethan blinked once while processing the statement.
"And I would not even need to kill monsters?"
[Correct.]
