Part I: Novel Mirai’s Exploration of Planet Earlt
Episode 4

“Talent is not power. It is the timing that moves history.”

What if a talent capable of changing the future of the galaxy emerges too early—
would you protect it, or seal it away?

“Never spare effort. A genius achieves what must be done, while a prodigy achieves what can be done. And yet, Lambda Griss insisted that he himself was nothing more than a prodigy.”

The young scholar Hugh Donack spoke with intensity.
Novel Mirai—the robot endowed with an anti-quantum intellect—listened in silence.

Those words stirred something deep within his memory,
awakening echoes from a far ancient era.

What unfolded before him was the galaxy of 13,200 years ago—
just before the erasure of history became reality.

Remarkably, Hugh possessed a faint empathic ability
that allowed him to touch fragments of knowledge and records from that distant age.

A true prodigy.

He held potential comparable to Lambda Griss.

Yet his power was still immature—
and dangerously unstable.

Within the depths of anti-quantum computation, Novel Mirai reflected quietly:

“…It is too soon.”

He had no intention of wasting Hugh’s talent.

But neither could he allow it to be freely unleashed.

That power could disrupt everything the Nodhans had built—
the very foundation of the Chrono-Bloom Process itself.

Hugh’s abilities were meant for a greater purpose:
the construction of Planet Neo-Aether,
the First Codex Installation Project.

Those who would support him were already in place—

Shau, who had guided Novel Mirai to this world,
along with other companions bound by strange and fateful ties.

His thoughts drifted naturally to the Nodhans.

They were the inheritors of Earlt’s records,
a people who had faithfully reconstructed its nature and civilization.

In the beginning, the Naxelans secluded themselves within university libraries,
compiling every fragment of knowledge from the age of Eart
and building the Galactic Archive.

“I see… I have found a name for the new organization on Planet Neo-Aether.”

Novel murmured softly in human language.

In time, they would establish their own religious systems,
extending their spiritual influence across surrounding star systems.

Then, through trade, they would gain economic dominance.

With scientific superiority as their foundation,
their power would continue to expand—

until eventually, they would resort to military force.

“…This is as far as it must go. Beyond this point is unacceptable.”

Novel Mirai had already seen the endpoint of their trajectory.

He could not allow Hugh Donack to be swept into that overwhelming current.

After prolonged calculation and silence,
a single conclusion emerged.

The plan to send Hugh into the academic world had to be abandoned.

His mathematical genius and faint empathic ability were invaluable—

but granting him further knowledge
risked destabilizing the entire balance of galactic history.

“…Forgive me.

I must erase a portion of your memory.”

It was a cruel decision—

and yet, the only one capable of preserving the future.

And then—five hundred years later.

The sealed talent of Hugh Donack
would be released once more into the galaxy—

through the translation AI Meter,
and a woman who would become his ally: Aporiana Perigaul.

The knowledge sleeping within him
would one day become the key to restoring the entire history of the galaxy.

But at this moment,
even Novel Mirai himself could not foresee the full extent of that future.

To be continued.

Previous Episode (Episode 3 Summary)

Novel Mirai, under the alias Homogene, infiltrates Naxel University and encounters Hugh Donack, a young mathematician with empathic abilities.
The ancient manuscript Hugh possesses is deeply connected to the Anti-Quantum Law created by Mirai himself.

Next Episode (Episode 5 Preview)

From the edge of the galaxy—Planet Eart—to Helicon Helios,
Novel Mirai seeks the secret of a world that gives birth to geniuses.
Chrono-Bloom, the Two Codices, and the challenge of latent potential.

Ultra-Short Summary

Novel Mirai, a robot with an anti-quantum intellect, discovers that the young scholar Hugh Donack possesses talent comparable to Lambda Griss.
However, that talent threatens to destabilize galactic history.
To protect the future, Mirai makes a ruthless decision—
to erase Hugh’s memory.
Yet five hundred years later, that talent will be unleashed once again.

Question

If you were Novel Mirai—
facing a young genius with the power to shake the galaxy—

would you allow that talent to flourish freely?
Or would you seal it away for the sake of the future?

What would you choose?

○ Glossary

□ Anti-Quantum Intelligence
A specialized form of intelligence that processes quantum computations in reverse. It possesses superior predictive capabilities compared to conventional AI.

□ Historical Erasure
A major घटना in which the records of galactic civilization were intentionally deleted, creating a vast void in galactic history.

□ Lambda Griss
A founding-level figure of Chrono-Bloom thought. Proposed a theory integrating time and the evolution of civilization.

□ Chrono-Bloom Process
A framework designed to unfold the historical evolution of civilization in staged phases. It represents the core theory for the regeneration of galactic civilization.

□ Nodians
A knowledge-bearing collective that inherited the records of the planet Ealt civilization. They are the custodians of the archival civilization.

□ First Codex Installation Plan
The initial project to construct a foundational knowledge hub for the reconstruction of galactic civilization.
