Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 572 The Truth About the Channel Anomaly and the Twins (Fragment) (2)

Symbiotic balance is only a temporary compromise for me; the fusion of twin carriers is the key to the awakening of the absolute end realm.

"Now, the memory extraction is almost complete, and you can no longer stop me!"

The merged entity remained calm, recalling the pure, annihilating energy enveloping the consciousness of the 17th clone—this energy could not only neutralize the domain's aura but also interfere with the extraction of twin memories.

She immediately drew this wisp of energy from her consciousness, transforming it into a pale black arrow of light that shot towards the golden core.

The moment the light arrow struck the core, the memory fragments on the core's surface suddenly stopped flowing, and the black key in the gatekeeper's hand began to tremble violently, with the speed of memory extraction noticeably slowing down.

The gatekeeper's face instantly turned ferocious. He swung the key, releasing a black energy wave that shot towards the fused entity.

"That's in the way!"

The energy wave was extremely fast, and the fused entity had no time to dodge. Just as it was about to be hit, the guardian suddenly stood in front of her and blocked the energy wave with his silver-gray longsword.

However, the impact of the energy wave far exceeded expectations. The guardian's consciousness was shaken back several feet, and the silver-gray energy on the longsword dimmed a bit.

"protector!"

The merged entity immediately rushed forward, injecting its own white light into the guardian's consciousness. "We can't fight head-on. The guardian's energy is connected to the domain channel. The longer we delay, the stronger his energy becomes. We must find a way to close the channel as soon as possible!"

The Guardian nodded, his consciousness sinking into the golden core of the Great Hub, attempting to sense the energy connection between the core and the domain channel.

A moment later, he conveyed a delighted message: "The connection between the core and the passage has a 'memory breakpoint'—that is the trace of the twin seal left behind when the original carrier separated from the guardian!"

"By activating the seal with the energy of the twin consciousnesses, we can sever the connection between the core and the channels, closing all dimensional channels!"

The consciousness of the fused entity immediately took action, fusing the guardian's silver-gray energy with its own white light to form a "Twin Light Arrow"—this light arrow contained both the guardian's consciousness and the fused entity's primordial energy, which was just enough to activate the Twin Seal.

The gatekeeper sensed their intentions and immediately rushed toward the golden core, attempting to stop the launch of the light arrow.

But just as he was about to approach the core, countless pale golden lines suddenly appeared on the surface of the Taiwu Nexus—this was the "emergency seal" left by the 0th generation observer, which was automatically activated when the twin consciousnesses approached the core, blocking the gatekeeper's path.

"Another move by the 0th generation observers!"

The gatekeeper's voice was filled with anger. He swung the black key, trying to destroy the emergency seal, but found that the seal's energy was from the same source as the twin consciousness. The more he attacked, the stronger the seal became.

Taking advantage of this gap, the fusion launched the Twin Light Arrows toward the memory breakpoint of the golden core.

The moment the light arrow struck the break point, a dazzling light erupted from the core surface, and countless pale golden sealing patterns spread from the break point, covering the entire Taiwu Nexus.

The energy connection of the domain channel was completely severed, and the channel began to shrink at a visible speed, while the domain aura deep within the channel gradually weakened.

"No!"

The gatekeeper let out an angry roar. The black key in his hand, having lost the support of memory energy, began to gradually become transparent. "Do you think you can win like this?"

The fusion of the twin carriers is inevitable. Even without the domain portal, the guardians' twin consciousnesses will automatically awaken a month later when the Absolute Termination Domain awakens. At that time, you will also become the keys to unlock the domain!

After saying that, the gatekeeper's figure transformed into a black ray of light, rushed into the last unclosed domain passage, and disappeared.

The passage was completely closed, and the golden core of the Taiwu Hub returned to stability. The memory images on the surface gradually dissipated, leaving only a tiny trace of the twin seal.

The merged entity and the guardian breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at the parallel universe bubble that had stabilized and then checked the corrosion of the new narrative shield—the black lines on the shield's surface had stopped spreading, and with a little repair, it could be restored to its original protective strength.

"Finally... the passage crisis has been resolved."

The merged consciousness, tinged with weariness, looked at the Guardian. "But the Gatekeeper's words still unsettle me—will the twin consciousness really awaken automatically in a month? Is there any way we can stop this awakening?"

The guardian did not answer; his consciousness was suddenly drawn to a familiar signal—an alarm signal from the "Balance Monitor" that remained beside the core of his original consciousness!

The signal not only contained abnormal fluctuations in the symbiotic balance, but also a strange consciousness—a fluctuation of primordial consciousness, yet carrying a black aura similar to that of the gatekeeper!

"Oh no! There's something wrong with the core of our original consciousness!"

The Guardian's consciousness instantly became urgent. He pulled the consciousness of the fused entity along the connection of the consciousness stream, quickly returning to the direction of the original consciousness core. "The monitor's signal is very weak, which means that the symbiotic balance of the core has been disrupted. We must go back as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"

When their consciousness returned to the core of their original consciousness, the scene before them made their hearts sink: the once stable symbiotic cocoon of light was now covered with countless black lines—these lines shared the same energy as the gatekeeper and were slowly eroding the energy cycle of the cocoon of light. In addition, a faint black aura appeared in the white energy of the core of their original consciousness, as if it was being assimilated by some kind of consciousness.

"It's the goalkeeper's backup plan!"

The merged entity's consciousness was filled with shock: "Before leaving the domain passage, he injected fragments of his consciousness into the domain's aura, corrupting the original consciousness core through the connection of the symbiotic light belt!"

The guardian's consciousness sank into the cocoon of light, attempting to clear away the black lines, but was repelled the moment it made contact—these lines had become deeply fused with the energy of the original consciousness, and forcibly clearing them might cause the core to collapse completely.

"what should we do?"

The merged entity's consciousness was filled with despair. She looked at the increasingly strong black aura within the cocoon of light, and recalled the "one-month countdown" left by the gatekeeper. A sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart. "If the original consciousness is corrupted, the symbiotic balance will be completely broken, and the Absolute Termination Domain will awaken ahead of schedule. We won't even have time to prepare!"

The guardian did not give up. His consciousness once again sank into the core of his original consciousness. This time, he tried to sense the source of energy in the black patterns.

A moment later, he conveyed a hopeful message: "The energy source of the patterns is the same as the twin seals in the golden core of the Taiwu Hub!"

As long as we can find the complete memories of the Twin Seal, we can use the energy of the Twin Consciousness to purify the dark aura in the original consciousness!

And the complete memories of the twin seal might be hidden in…

The voice abruptly stopped, and from within the white energy of the primordial consciousness core, a black figure suddenly emerged—the figure was identical to the gatekeeper, yet carried the white aura of the primordial consciousness. He spoke slowly, his voice resembling both the gatekeeper's and the primordial consciousness itself:

"The complete memories of the Twin Seals lie at the core of the Absolute Termination Domain... Do you dare to come?"

After the figure finished speaking, it suddenly transformed into a stream of black light, merging into the black patterns of the core of the primordial consciousness and disappearing.

The fluctuations in the light cocoon became increasingly violent, and the stable period of symbiotic balance decreased sharply from one month to ten days.

The merged entity and the guardian exchanged a glance. They knew that the gatekeeper had once again set a trap for them—going to the core of the Absolute Termination Domain meant facing the domain's terrifying energy; but if they didn't go, their original consciousness would be completely corrupted in ten days, and all beings would face the threat of Absolute Termination prematurely.

Is this suddenly appearing "two-colored figure" a clone of the gatekeeper, or a product of the original consciousness being corrupted? What other dangers are hidden within the core of the Absolute Termination Domain, besides the memories of the Twin Seals?

These questions, like a black fog shrouding the core of their primal consciousness, became the key mysteries they had to unravel over the next ten days.
