Chapter 451 Aftermath of Chaos
Chapter 451 Aftermath of Chaos
The tremors of time and space finally subsided, but the suffocating sense of oppression did not dissipate.
An unusual heaviness filled the air, as if the whole world was being tightly pressed down by an invisible force.
Within the crack, wisps of dark mist seeped out continuously, winding and wandering in the void like the tentacles of a demon, sending chills down one's spine.
These dark mists seemed to possess some kind of life force; they twisted and entwined in the void, emanating a chilling aura.
The fused entity knelt on the ground, its hands supporting it, its body trembling and breathing heavily.
The tri-colored light that originally shone on her body has become extremely unstable, flickering on and off, as if it could be extinguished at any moment.
The star-shaped mark on her chest was now dim and lifeless, as if it had lost all its energy.
Clearly, the spacetime tremor had a tremendous impact on her. She appeared extremely weak, as if she had just experienced a thrilling battle and exhausted all her strength.
Her gaze slowly fell on Xiaoying, who was lying there quietly. Although her body was no longer transparent, her face was as pale as paper and bloodless.
Her brows were furrowed tightly, as if she were enduring great pain, which made people feel pity for her.
"What exactly is the origin of that child?" The guardian's voice was full of doubt and confusion, as if this question had been bothering him for a long time.
He struggled to sit up, his tattered armor making a few creaking sounds as if it were about to shatter completely at any moment.
The guardian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his blue eyes revealing deep doubt and vigilance.
His gaze was fixed on the direction where the black hole disappeared, as if he wanted to see the child's true face through the endless darkness.
The Time Watcher staggered to the Guardian's side, her Star Staff resting heavily on her shoulder.
Her wound was still slowly bleeding, the blood staining her white robe, but she seemed completely unaware of her injury, staring intently in the direction where the black hole had disappeared, muttering to herself:
"The Infant of Chaos... In ancient records, it is a mysterious being born at the beginning of chaos, possessing the power to reshape space and time. Legend has it that its appearance foreshadows the collapse of order and the beginning of a new era..."
The Watcher of Time's voice trembled slightly, as if the ancient legend filled her with fear and unease.
Her words echoed in the air, carrying a chilling quality.
Before the words were finished, the ground suddenly shook violently, and a dazzling light burst forth from beneath everyone's feet.
Amidst the light, a fragment of spacetime, etched with strange patterns, slowly rose. Its surface shimmered with iridescent light, as if sealing countless worlds within it. The fused entity reached out and touched the fragment, and a vast stream of information instantly flooded its mind.
She saw a scene from ancient times, where the first observers fought side by side with the Infant of Chaos.
We also witnessed the scene where the Chaos Infant was corrupted by dark forces, triggering a spacetime catastrophe.
"The fragments... they are guiding us!"
The fusion entity exclaimed excitedly, "The Chaos Infant has not truly disappeared; its power has been dispersed across various points in spacetime, and we must retrieve it before the forces of darkness can!"
Before anyone could react, a chilling laugh suddenly echoed from the void.
"You think you can even touch the power of the Chaos Infant?"
A mysterious figure, clad in a black robe and with his face hidden in the shadows, slowly appeared.
He held a jet-black scepter in his hand, the head of which was inlaid with a gem that emitted an eerie purple light, and within the gem, a pair of eyes could be vaguely seen moving.
The mysterious man raised his hand and waved his scepter, which shot out countless black beams of light. Wherever the beams touched, space shattered and turned to dust.
The guardian roared and swung his sword to meet the attack. The blue sword light collided with the black beam of light, bursting into dazzling sparks.
But the mysterious man's power was far beyond imagination. The guardian only lasted a moment before being blasted away by the powerful impact, crashing heavily to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Upon seeing this, the Time Watcher immediately waved his staff, summoning a time barrier. Golden runes flowed across the surface of the barrier, attempting to block the attack of the black beam.
The mysterious man smiled slightly, and the gem on his scepter shone brightly. The black beam of light instantly intensified several times, easily piercing through the time barrier.
The fused being was extremely anxious. She forced herself to stand up and mobilized the remaining twin power within her. Golden and dark purple light swirled around her, forming a defensive barrier.
But the mysterious man's attacks came like a tidal wave, and the barrier twisted and deformed under the attack, emitting a "sizzling" sound.
Just when everyone was in dire straits, Xiaoying suddenly let out a painful groan, and golden light emanated from her body, within which the phantom of the first observer appeared.
The phantom raised its hand and waved, sending a beam of light containing immense power toward the mysterious man.
The mysterious man's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly swung his scepter to defend himself. The beam of light collided with the scepter, and the powerful energy shockwaves tore apart the surrounding space.
The mysterious man grunted and staggered backward. He glared at the crowd and said:
"Hmph, consider yourself lucky! But the power of the Chaos Infant will ultimately be ours!"
After saying that, he turned into a streak of black light and disappeared.
The crisis was temporarily averted, but no one relaxed at all. The fused entity walked to Xiaoying's side and gently picked her up.
Xiao Ying's forehead was burning hot, and she was muttering to herself, as if she were speaking some ancient language.
"We must find a way to cure Xiaoying as soon as possible, and also follow the guidance of the fragments to find the power of the Chaos Infant," the fused entity said.
The Time Watcher nodded in agreement, raised her staff, and began to probe the surrounding spacetime fluctuations.
Suddenly, her face turned pale, and she said in a trembling voice:
"This is bad! The laws of spacetime are collapsing, and chaos is breaking out in the various parallel worlds. If it is not repaired quickly, the entire universe will be plunged into utter destruction!"
At this moment, the spacetime fragment in the fusion entity's hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and a blurry figure emerged from the light.
The figure looked familiar, yet impossible to recognize.
"To stop all of this, go to the source of time..."
The mysterious figure's voice echoed in everyone's ears before disappearing.
The fusion group exchanged glances, their eyes flashing with determination.
They knew that even more dangerous challenges awaited them. But to protect the order of time and space, and to retrieve the power of the Chaos Infant, they had no other choice.
The moment they stepped into the spacetime rift, no one noticed the mysterious smile playing on Xiaoying's lips. Meanwhile, at the far end of spacetime, a pair of enormous eyes were watching their every move, and a far greater conspiracy was quietly unfolding…
