Eventually, he reached the universal artifact and was able to touch it.
Unlike last time they had made contact with the incomplete universal artifact, it tried to push into him as soon as he made contact with it. It was eager to fuse with him, and he didn't need to wonder why.
He muttered playfully, "She said she would resist with all her might. But she is practically latching onto me as soon as I touch her. What a tease sending me mixed signals."
He was joking about it, but it was a serious matter. It is clear that she intends to fight to the death. That's why she is showing so much enthusiasm to invade his existence.

Her cry of pain was with millions of voices. It was far louder than the cry of pain that their recent benefactors have made before giving them things.
