Isn't this nonsense?
But it really can be explained in this way, so what can you do at this time? You can only lie down, right?
"So you think this is some kind of magic phenomenon."
"As of now, that seems likely."
So now Sherry has also given up, since science can't explain it, then don't bother, let magic explain it. Maybe when they find the pollution source, she might be able to use her ability to draw some conclusions, but now, with just these few broken stones and microbial fossils—she's into biology, not archaeology!
Oh, Mary is into archaeology and ancient texts indeed...
"Hmm..."
Regarding Sherry's surrender, Duanmu Huai wasn't surprised. If this planet really had been invaded by subspace, then the resulting issues can't simply be resolved by science alone.
Of course, as Duanmu Huai would say, the Tribunal doesn't need science to solve this problem. Just blow up this planet to solve all woes.
