The room was instantly swept in silence, and everyone’s attention moved toward Evelyn.

“Was my explanation too difficult to understand? Then should we think of it in simple mathematical terms? For example, 1+2=3, right? With this expression, the result is always 3, just like the fact that Shalyh would definitely fall in the future.” Evelyn continued, “But when our Chibbong here changed the future for the first time, he basically erased the numbers ‘1’ and ‘2’ in the equation.”

With his first attempt, Chi-Woo managed to prevent Ru Hiana and the people around him from getting involved in the first incident. And he also caused Chi-Hyun to destroy the colonies of demon flowers.

“Yet the result didn’t change in the end, as revealed by his second chance to see the future. What do you think that means?” Evelyn asked.

“It means that the result remained the same even while the expression changed.”

“Yes, exactly.” Evelyn smiled at Ru Amuh’s answer.

The expression of (1 + 2) wasn’t the only one that resulted in 3. Other expressions such as (0 +3), (1.5 +1.5) also yielded the same result. If one used all four arithmetic operations, the expressions that led to 3 were basically infinite. In other words, if the Demon Empire could no longer accomplish their goal using (1+2), they could attempt to use another method such as (5-2). And if the heroes tried to stop the Demon Empire from doing that as well, the Demon Empire could try another expression such as (1.5 x 2) to reach their desired result...
