The fact that the Seer would declare something "absolutely impossible" naturally meant reality had diverged entirely from the future he had foreseen.
In Cooper's view, he was a prophet capable of peering into fate; everything in this world followed the tracks of destiny, and all these tracks should align with his predictions.
Everyone else were merely ants and pawns under the trajectory of fate, while he was the unique existence able to perceive those trajectories. Nothing could fall outside the scope of his foresight.
But now, the chance for victory he had predicted did not come to pass. Instead, Chen Yu had locked down any possibility for them to secure the victory that should have been theirs in this race.
This wasn't right! Something must have gone wrong somewhere!
Fate's trajectory is immutable! His predictions are absolutely accurate! There must be some deviation that occurred in this!
