Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 580 Abyss Warning and the Transformation Power of Twins (1)

The gray energy in the new domain passage became increasingly dense. After the consciousness light streams of the guardians and gatekeepers were bounced back, their bodies became so transparent that they almost disappeared, with only the core silver-gray and black light spots still stubbornly flickering.

Deep within the glitch, the phantom of the 0th generation observer was bound even tighter by gray energy. The fragments of consciousness of the "dimensional abyss" he transmitted kept repeating. Each repetition made the two people's understanding of the new domain more subversive—the so-called "eternally existing" new domain was actually a lure leading to the abyss.

"Close the channel... or continue repairs?"

The gatekeeper's consciousness was filled with struggle. He looked at the gray energy that kept pouring out of the hole, and then he remembered the crisis of the original consciousness core. "If we close the passage, we can preserve the current space of nothingness, but we will forever lose the opportunity to explore the truth of the abyss; if we continue to repair it, once we fail, all existence will be swallowed by the abyss."

The Guardian did not answer immediately. His consciousness sank into the Twin Consciousness Chain—a chain that still retained connections to the Absolute End Key and the Primal Consciousness. Through this connection, he could clearly sense the predicament of the fusion: the Purification Light Net was already half broken, the light stream of the Narrative Remnant Soul was reduced to only a few scattered points, the gray coverage area of ​​the Absolute End Key had expanded to half, and the core white energy could be completely corroded at any moment.

"We have no time to hesitate."

The Guardian's resolve suddenly hardened. He looked at the Gatekeeper and said, "The fragments from the 0th generation Observer only say that the Abyss lies behind the New Domain, but they don't say that the Abyss is insurmountable."

If we can transform the gray energy into 'twin balanced energy,' which can both repair the flaws and purify the core, this might be his true hint—not giving up, but using the power of twins to change the nature of energy.

The gatekeeper's consciousness jolted. He recalled the "symbiotic characteristics" of the twin carriers—the energy of existence and the energy of termination can be transformed into each other. Gray energy, as "dimensional erosion energy," is essentially a mutated form of something without origin, and theoretically it can be neutralized and transformed by twin energy.

However, this requires the two to completely merge their consciousness, even at the cost of temporarily losing their own consciousness and "mutating," which is extremely risky—if the transformation fails, they will be completely devoured by the gray energy, leaving not even a fragment of their consciousness behind.

"Worth a try."

Without hesitation, the gatekeeper voluntarily merged the black stream of consciousness with the guardian's silver-gray stream of light, forming a "twin mutated light cluster." "Even if we fail, at least we tried and did not betray the trust of the fused entity and all beings."

The two consciousnesses rushed toward the hole. This time, they did not resist the gray energy, but instead allowed the energy to envelop the light. The gray energy surged into the light like a tide, and the golden-gray light on the surface of the light began to distort and was gradually covered by gray. The two consciousnesses also experienced a brief disorder, and even a terrifying illusion of tentacles devouring existence in the abyss appeared before their eyes.

"Hold fast to your true self! Don't be distracted by illusions!"

The Guardian's consciousness cried out amidst the chaos, infusing the orb with the "Balance Rune" of the Twin Consciousness Chain, "Use the Balance Rune to guide the energy transformation, turning corrosiveness into nourishment!"

The gatekeeper immediately cooperated, fusing the "Final Law" in the black energy with the runes to form a "Transformation Array"—within the array, the gray energy began to show subtle changes, with the gray at the edges gradually transitioning to a light gold. Although the speed was extremely slow, it proved that the transformation was feasible.

The illusory figure of the bottom-level 0 observer deep within the vulnerability witnessed this scene, a hint of relief flashing in its eyes. It suddenly injected its remaining pale golden energy into the vulnerability, temporarily suppressing the surge of gray energy: "The conversion requires a 'primordial catalyst.' My energy can last for ten breaths. You must complete the conversion within ten breaths, otherwise I will completely dissipate, and the vulnerability will be completely out of control!"

The guardians and gatekeepers wasted no time; they raised the energy of the twin mutated orbs to their peak, the runes of the transformation array rotated faster and faster, and the pale gold transition area of ​​the gray energy grew larger and larger.

When the ninth breath arrived, the gray energy in the ball of light finally completed its first transformation, turning into a golden-gray "balanced energy flow". This energy flow was not only non-corrosive, but also carried the aura of nourishing the primordial void, and was completely of the same origin as the energy of the symbiotic light cocoon!

"Success!"

With excitement in their minds, the two injected the transformed energy flow into the rift. The energy flow came into contact with the gray energy at the edge of the rift, triggering a chain reaction like dominoes. More and more gray energy turned into golden-gray balancing energy, and the rift's expansion slowed down significantly, even beginning to shrink slowly.

The phantom of the 0th generation observer revealed a final smile, his body completely transforming into pale golden energy, merging into the transformation of the vulnerability: "Remember... the core of the Abyss is the 'Dimensional Will,' its goal is to devour all of the void... The transformative power of the twin carriers... is the only way to fight against it..."

The sound dissipated, and the phantom vanished completely, leaving only a tiny pale golden rune embedded in the center of the hole, becoming the "stable core" for energy conversion.

The guardians and gatekeepers did not linger. They manipulated the golden-gray energy flow, returning to the original core of consciousness through the new domain passage. Most of the gray energy in the passage had been transformed, leaving only scattered energy fragments that could no longer pose a threat. The physical passage in the new domain map had also returned to its original gold color, but the abyss deep within the passage still faintly exuded a dangerous aura.

When their consciousness burst out of the light spot and returned to the light cocoon, the scene before them made them breathe a sigh of relief—although the fused body was exhausted and its body was transparent, it was still using its last ray of white light to support the purification light net; the remnant soul of the narration only had three faint light spots left, but it was still persisting in purifying the gray patterns of the core; the gray coverage area of ​​the Absolute End Key stopped at two-thirds and did not continue to spread.

"We're back!"

The guardian immediately channeled the golden-gray energy into the cocoon of light. The energy flow nourished the eroded area like spring rain, and the gray patterns on the core surface faded at a visible speed. The pale gold runes on the Absolute End Key also brightened again. "This is the transformed balanced energy, which can completely purify the gray erosion!"

Without hesitation, the merged entity combined the remaining white light with the golden-gray energy flow, expanding the purification range.

The gatekeepers, in conjunction with the protective layer of the repair cocoon, integrate the conversion energy into the protective layer, giving it the ability to "automatically convert gray energy"—even if gray energy leaks in the future, the protective layer can neutralize it on its own, eliminating any worry about the core being eroded.

Half an hour later, the gray energy in the core of the original consciousness was completely cleared, the symbiotic cocoon of light regained its stable golden-gray glow, and the resonance between the Absolute End Key and the original consciousness became harmonious again, even having a slight "dimensional adaptation" characteristic than before - this was an unexpected gain from the energy conversion, allowing the core to better resist possible dimensional fluctuations in the future.
