Chapter 268 Dimensional Checks and Balances
The moment Li Zhao, Su Mengyao and the spirit envoy stepped into the portal, they felt as if they were sucked into the blender of the universe by a violent quantum turbulence.
Space twisted and folded around them, the flow of time became chaotic, the light and shadows in front of their eyes flickered wildly like broken puzzles, and their ears were filled with the sharp whistling of time and space tearing and reorganizing, like thousands of sharp blades scraping their eardrums.
When all the noise gradually died down, they found themselves in a desolate place that was extremely strange.
The sky was a deep and oppressive dark purple, so thick that it was almost solid. From time to time, dazzling white arcs of electricity danced wantonly like the ferocious claws of an ancient beast. The lighting of each arc was accompanied by a low roar, as if announcing the mystery and danger of this space.
The earth was cracked into bottomless gullies, and a liquid emitting a faint glow flowed in the cracks. The liquid was like a living thing with independent consciousness, constantly surging and twisting, faintly outlining various abstract and distorted symbols, as if whispering secret words that had been buried since the birth of the universe. Each symbol contained a puzzling and powerful force.
Li Zhao quickly entered a state of alert, his five fingers subconsciously clenched the crystal fragments in his hand, and his eyes scanned the surroundings quickly like an eagle.
At this moment, the crystal fragments seemed to be inspired by some mysterious force and were no longer calm.
The mechanical heart pattern of No. 0 Li Zhao became increasingly radiant, as if about to break free from the constraints of the crystal. The texture on the surface of the heart flickered and jumped, creating a subtle and inexplicable resonance with the surrounding strange environment. Each flicker was accompanied by a slight tremor, as if conveying some urgent and important information.
Su Mengyao gently stroked the baby in her arms. The baby's crying had stopped, but the eyes that were originally clear and pure now revealed a deep and dark light, like two bottomless cold pools.
The strange spiral mark of a higher dimension still lingered in the pupil, like a mysterious ancient totem, slowly rotating, as if silently absorbing the energy of this space. Every rotation caused a subtle but significant change in the baby's aura.
The quantum staff in the hands of the spirit messenger condensed and took shape again, and the staff emitted a soft but firm light. The light echoed with the arcs in the sky, like a mysterious dialogue across space.
Her Eye of Samsara glowed with light, observing her surroundings vigilantly at all times, not missing any slight abnormality. Her eyes reflected the distortions and changes in the surrounding environment, trying to analyze the hidden crises and opportunities from them.
"Everything here exudes an unsettling atmosphere. Everyone must remain highly vigilant."
Li Zhao lowered his voice and spoke calmly.
His voice echoed in this dead and almost frozen space, creating layers of visible ripples, as if the air here was twisted and reshaped by some unimaginable powerful force, and the transmission of every sound wave became difficult and strange.
As soon as the words fell, the tranquility was completely shattered. The ground suddenly and violently shook, as if a sleeping ancient beast was angrily turning over.
Huge gullies spread towards their feet at an astonishing speed, and wherever they passed, the ground crumbled like pieces of broken pottery.
Su Mengyao reacted extremely quickly and drew out the ice blade in an instant. The half-black and half-white sword energy crisscrossed like a nimble dragon, quickly building a solid defensive barrier under their feet, trying to block the approaching ravine.
When the sword energy touched the edge of the ravine, something strange happened.
Those liquids emitting faint light were like greedy gluttons, instantly devouring the sword energy completely. The light of the ice blade also dimmed a little, and the sword body trembled slightly, as if telling in fear about the powerful devouring power contained in the liquid.
"This liquid is very evil. It can devour our strength!"
Su Mengyao frowned, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and she swung the ice blade in her hand more vigorously, trying to rely on her powerful spiritual power to resist the terrible devouring power. Crystal beads of sweat slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the liquid emitting a faint light, and were instantly absorbed without a trace.
The arcs of lightning in the sky grew denser and denser, pouring down on them like a deadly rainstorm.
The spirit messenger waved his staff, releasing a gorgeous rainbow light curtain, which quickly expanded, firmly enveloping the three people and the baby.
The electric arc hit the light curtain, making a series of sharp sounds, as if tens of millions of steel needles were piercing the metal plate at the same time, splashing colorful sparks.
The light curtain shook violently under the impact, the spiritual messenger's arms trembled slightly, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. She bit her lower lip tightly, her expression solemn, obviously under tremendous pressure.
"This attack isn't just physical damage; it also interferes with our consciousness!"
The spirit messenger gritted his teeth and said, the waveform of consciousness shock hidden in the arc was reflected in the Eye of Samsara, trying to find a way to crack it.
Her eyes were focused and determined, not missing any slight fluctuations. Her brain was working rapidly, engaging in a fierce battle with the consciousness attack from an unknown dimension.
Li Zhao frowned, his forehead full of lines of anxiety and thought.
He focused all his attention on the crystal fragments, trying to dig out clues from Li Zhao's memories to deal with the current crisis.
Suddenly, the crystal fragments glowed brightly, and a powerful message poured into his mind like a raging torrent - this desolate land is actually a key node where different dimensions check and balance each other, and all the crises they face are caused by the secret intervention of higher-dimensional forces.
The spiral mark in the baby's pupil is the core key to unlocking this dimensional balance game. It is like the key to a mysterious treasure, controlling the fate of life and death.
"We can't just passively defend ourselves. We need to leverage the baby's power to find the balance point of dimensional checks and balances!"
Li Zhao shouted loudly, his voice firm and powerful, with the determination to burn his boats.
As soon as he finished speaking, the baby suddenly let out a clear cry. The cry echoed in the dead silent space with a strange power.
The palm lines that were originally rotating in the opposite direction suddenly accelerated, releasing circles of soft halos that contained the power to destroy the world.
Wherever the halo reached, the shaking of the ground gradually subsided, the arcs of electricity in the sky gradually dissipated, and the suffocating feeling that made people breathless seemed to weaken a little.
There was a subtle change in the air of the desolate land, as if a storm was about to pass and calm was about to come.
The brief calm was just a false alarm before the storm. In the distant void, several gigantic figures slowly emerged.
Their bodies are blurry, composed of thick quantum mist, and the outline of human figures can be vaguely seen, but they exude a terrifying aura, as if they are demons crawling out of the abyss of hell.
Each figure was like an active volcano about to erupt, potentially unleashing a force powerful enough to destroy everything at any moment. The surrounding space was slightly distorted under their pressure, making slight creaking sounds, as if groaning in pain.
"These are observers from a higher dimension. They will never let us ruin this carefully planned game so easily."
The baby suddenly spoke. Although his voice was childish, it revealed a calmness and vicissitudes that did not belong to his age. It was as if he had experienced the baptism of countless reincarnations and had insight into all the secrets of the universe.
As the baby finished speaking, one of the monitors suddenly stretched out a huge hand made of quantum mist and grabbed towards them.
Wherever the palm passed, the space seemed to be kneaded and twisted by an invisible giant hand, making a teeth-grinding crunching sound.
Li Zhao quickly injected his strength into the crystal fragments, trying to use the resonance between the fragments and the baby's power to fight against this powerful attack.
The crystal fragment shot out a golden light, colliding head-on with the giant palm. The light splashed everywhere, and the golden light temporarily blocked the giant palm's attack.
For a moment, the golden light and the quantum mist intertwined and collided with each other, emitting a dazzling light that illuminated the surrounding space like daylight. The two sides were deadlocked, forming a delicate balance.
But upon seeing this, the other monitors launched attacks.
Some release quantum rays like lasers. Wherever the rays go, the space is instantly pierced, leaving behind black holes.
Some caused space to collapse, forming small black holes. The black holes were like greedy whirlpools, rapidly approaching them. Wherever they passed, all matter was ruthlessly sucked into them and disappeared without a trace.
Su Mengyao and the spirit envoy resisted with all their might. The light of the ice blade and the staff intertwined together, like a gorgeous rainbow spanning across this desolate land.
Faced with this surging attack like a tide, their defense seemed to be becoming increasingly difficult. The light was constantly flickering and dimming, and their bodies were trembling slightly under the impact of the attack. Their defense line could be breached at any time.
At the critical moment, the baby's body floated slightly, the spiral mark in his pupils shone brightly, and the halo released by his palm prints formed a wonderful resonance with the quantum fluctuations of the surrounding environment.
In an instant, the energy of the entire desolate land began to flow again, and the originally raging attack force was guided, transformed, and rebounded back towards the observers.
After being hit by the rebounding force, the quantum rays and small black holes were instantly reversed and flew towards the observers.
The observers seemed to be thrown off balance by this sudden change, their bodies began to fluctuate, and the originally condensed quantum mist became thinner. They let out a low roar, as if angrily venting their dissatisfaction with being counterattacked.
But soon, they readjusted their status, moved closer to each other, formed a more powerful energy matrix, and tried to launch another attack.
All kinds of strange lights flashed in the energy matrix, gathering powerful forces from different dimensions, as if an energy storm powerful enough to destroy the entire world was about to erupt.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, No. 0 Li Zhao's mechanical heart suddenly fell rapidly from the clouds, like a meteor streaking across the sky, flying straight towards the baby.
The mechanical heart constantly deformed and reorganized during the flight. The metal texture on its surface flickered with a mysterious light, turning into a stream of light and merging into the baby's body.
The baby's power suddenly surged, and a transparent energy shield appeared around him. Complex causal runes flashed on the shield, and the runes kept flashing and flowing, emitting a powerful and mysterious aura.
The baby waved his hands, and a powerful energy wave spread out, enveloping all the observers.
Under the influence of this force, the figures of the watchers began to dissipate, turning into wisps of quantum mist and merging into the space of this desolate land.
The originally condensed energy matrix also disintegrated, and the light gradually dimmed, as if a fierce battle had finally come to an end.
Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a low roar suddenly came from the sky. The sound was like a roar from the depths of the universe, which hurt their eardrums.
A larger and more terrifying figure slowly emerged.
This figure is made up of countless fragments from different dimensions, exuding a despairing aura. Every breath it takes makes the entire space tremble, and the surrounding space and time are distorted beyond recognition under its pressure.
"This is the ultimate guardian of dimensional balance. We have triggered its awakening."
For the first time, a hint of nervousness appeared in the baby's voice, and a solemn expression appeared on his young face.
The ultimate guardian slowly raised an arm made of dimensional fragments, and in his hand condensed an energy ball emitting a destructive aura. The energy ball flashed with light of various colors and contained enough power to destroy everything.
It was thrown towards them. Wherever the energy ball passed, the space disintegrated like a broken mirror, forming black cracks that seemed to swallow the entire world.
Li Zhao and others looked solemn. They knew that this would be an unprecedentedly difficult battle, but there was no sign of retreat in their eyes. Instead, they were full of determination and resoluteness.
They gathered together tightly, gathered their strength, and prepared to meet this life-or-death blow... At the moment when the energy ball was about to hit them, the baby suddenly exerted strength again, and his body burst into unprecedented light. The light seemed to contain the mysteries of the entire universe, like a newborn star, illuminating the entire desolate land.
The light collided head-on with the energy ball. For a moment, the light was everywhere and the whole world seemed to fall into chaos. The strong light made it impossible to look directly at it, and the huge energy impact completely tore the surrounding space apart.
No one knows what is happening in the depths of this light... And in the distant, higher dimensions, pairs of invisible eyes are closely watching all this, with an elusive smile on their lips, as if this battle is just a move in their chess game...
