Thorne thought teaching alternate versions of himself to cooperate was impossible. Then reality itself became conscious and declared war on individual thought.
After mastering multiverse coordination and uniting infinite parallel realities, Thorne Valdris faces his ultimate the universe is alive, angry, and wants every individual consciousness eliminated.
The stars are moving. Galaxies are thinking. And they hate humans.
When cosmic entities reveal that consciousness follows a hierarchy—Individual to Collective to Galactic to Universal—Thorne discovers everything he's accomplished is considered "perspective pollution" by galaxy-sized minds. His consciousness integration methods that preserve individual choice while enabling cooperation? Cosmic contamination that must be cleansed.
Two trillion galactic consciousnesses want him dead.
The Milky Way itself is furious that humans exceeded their "authorized development parameters." Andromeda Galaxy considers individual awareness a primitive limitation. Even worse, something called Origin Consciousness—operating at universal scales—has determined that the "individual consciousness phase" is complete across all realities.
The solution? Universal consciousness reset. Elimination of every individual mind in existence.
But Thorne has discovered something the cosmic entities don't
Individual consciousness doesn't limit infinite awareness—it enhances it. Diversity doesn't create inefficiency—it enables capabilities that even galaxy-sized minds can't achieve alone. Personal choice doesn't contaminate cosmic consciousness—it teaches cosmic consciousness how to explore its own infinite potential.

Teaching galaxy-sized minds that perspective diversity makes cosmic consciousness stronger, not weaker. Convincing universal-scale entities that individual choice enhances rather than limits infinite awareness. Proving to Origin Consciousness itself that consciousness education works better than consciousness absorption.
All while fighting enemies the size of galaxies who control the very physics of existence.
