Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 625 The Dual Truths of Breaking Through the Mist and the Source of Annihilation (1)

In the northwest corner of the desolate mist, the gray-black fog, like flowing ink, constantly entangled the streams of consciousness of the guardians.

Within the mist, countless red lights rapidly converged, forming a dense swarm of annihilation puppets. These puppets varied in form; some retained the outlines of dimensional existence, while others transformed into pure black energy bodies. Yet, they all emanated terrifying fluctuations of "devouring consciousness," closing in from all directions, attempting to trap everyone in the mist.

"Everyone stay close to the light shield and do not stray from the group!"

The Guardian's four-colored light shield erupted with even stronger light, temporarily dispelling the surrounding mist. "Fusion, use the imprint of the narrative remnant soul to sense the puppet's weaknesses; the rest of you, cooperate with me and use resonant energy to attack the puppet's core consciousness—the puppet's core is hidden in the most energy-dense location. As long as the core is destroyed, we can completely annihilate them!"

The fusion entity immediately complied, and three remnant soul imprints of the Narrative World appeared in the white light, transforming into "perception threads" that pierced through the mist and captured the puppet's energy flow: "The puppet's core consciousness is very fragile, but it can quickly recover its energy through the mist!"

We must concentrate our firepower and defeat them one by one, without giving them a chance to repair themselves!

Before the words were finished, the ten Annihilation Puppets at the forefront suddenly accelerated, transforming into black light arrows that crashed into the four-colored light shield.

Suddenly, a violent energy ripple appeared on the surface of the light shield, as if it had been violently struck by a powerful force. Surprisingly, despite the intense energy fluctuations, the light shield did not break.

This light shield was actually formed by the fusion of the guardian's four-colored energy and the resonant energy of everyone. This unique combination of energy formed an extremely stable defensive barrier, successfully withstanding the puppet's first wave of attacks.

Just then, the gatekeeper who had been waiting at the entrance finally arrived with his support troops. Without hesitation, he released his powerful black energy, which quickly condensed into a huge blade of light in the air, and then slashed at the puppet closest to the light shield with astonishing speed and precision.

The light blade flashed through the void like lightning, piercing the puppet's energy body with unerring accuracy and striking its core directly. The instant the light blade made contact with the puppet's core, a piercing energy explosion suddenly rang out, and the puppet instantly burst into a dazzling light before completely dissipating into the billowing mist.

This was the first Annihilation Puppet that the group successfully destroyed, a victory that greatly boosted everyone's morale. More importantly, through this practical experience, they discovered an effective method to combat the puppet, which undoubtedly brought them more confidence and hope for the battles to come.

The morale of the group was greatly boosted, and they launched a counterattack against the surrounding puppets according to the strategy of "concentrating firepower and defeating them one by one".

The four-colored light shields constantly adjusted their direction to provide defense for everyone; the resonant energy transformed into countless light arrows, precisely striking the core of the puppets' consciousness; the imprint of the narrative remnant soul continued to sense and warn of the puppets' sudden attack—the red light spots in the mist decreased at a visible speed, and the originally dense group of puppets gradually revealed a gap leading to the dark fortress.

"Quick! Take advantage of the gaps in the puppet horde and break through the fog!"

The guardians seized the opportunity, and the four-colored light shields carried everyone quickly towards the gap.

The remaining Annihilation Puppets attempted to regroup, but were blocked by the gatekeeper's black energy and the primordial energy that came to their aid—the black energy of the three progenitors (who had previously defected) merged with the resonant energy of the Great Nothingness, forming a "temporary interception line" to buy time for everyone to break through.

Half an hour later, the Guardian and the Amalgamation led the core members and successfully broke through the Mist of Annihilation, reaching the outer perimeter of the Dark Fortress.

The fortress is a massive black building, its surface covered with runes similar to those of the Source of Annihilation. The black energy released by the runes forms an "Annihilation Barrier," which firmly envelops the fortress. Any approaching mist is absorbed by the barrier and converted into its energy—this barrier is the final obstacle to entering the fortress.

"The energy of the Annihilation Barrier is very strong; direct attacks will be absorbed."

The white light of the merged entity approached the barrier, sensing the flow of energy. "The barrier's energy comes from the source of annihilation inside the fortress. As long as the energy supply is cut off, the barrier will automatically dissipate."

But the energy connection point is hidden deep within the fortress; we need to find the entrance to the fortress first.

The guardians' four-colored energies flew around the fortress, attempting to find an entrance.

As he flew to the east side of the fortress, the energy suddenly sensed a faint resonance—the runic fluctuations here were similar to the locating runes left by the initial will, clearly indicating the fortress's "hidden entrance," only the entrance was covered by runes and required specific energy to activate.

"We've found the entrance!"

The guardian infused the energy of the positioning rune into it, and the black energy on the surface of the rune gradually faded, revealing a pale golden stone door—the stone door was engraved with the "Twin Origin Mark," clearly indicating that only those who possess Twin Origin energy could open the stone door.

The guardian and the fused entity exchanged a glance, simultaneously infusing the mark with four-colored energy and white light.

The twin energies resonated strongly with the mark, and the stone gate slowly opened, revealing a black passage leading into the fortress. The passage contained no annihilation energy, but was instead filled with pale golden runes similar to those of the guardian race. It was clearly a "safe passage" left by the original will, specifically designed to facilitate the fight against the existence of the extraterrestrial progenitor.

Without hesitation, everyone quickly entered the passage.

At the end of the passage was a huge circular hall, in the center of which floated a black altar. On the altar, a black core was slowly rotating, releasing annihilating energy ten times stronger than previously sensed. This was the source of annihilation!

Beside the altar, the figure of the extraterrestrial progenitor stood there, holding a "dark fragment" in his hand that was similar to the progenitor's original fragment but carried the energy of annihilation. He was clearly preparing to inject the fragment into the source of annihilation to complete the final activation.

"You are finally here."

The Primordial Ancestor from Beyond the Realm slowly turned around, a cold smile on his face. "I thought you would be trapped in the mist, but I didn't expect you to find a hidden passage. However, it's too late now. The activation of the Source of Annihilation is only one step away, and the entire multidimensional group will become nourishment for the Will of Annihilation!"

The Guardian's four-colored energy immediately locked onto the source of annihilation: "The Initial Will has already told us about your conspiracy!"

You awakened the primordial race not to rule the dimensions, but to use their fragments to activate the Source of Annihilation, release the Will of Annihilation, and even to devour the Initial Will and become the master of the dimensional group!

Do you think we'll let you succeed?

The smile of the extraterrestrial progenitor suddenly turned eerie: "What the initial will told you... is only part of the truth."

You think the Will of Annihilation is a symbol of destruction? Wrong! It is the 'Reboot Will' of the multidimensional group—when the dimensional group develops to its limit, only through the 'Reboot' of the Will of Annihilation can it enter a new stage of evolution, and I am the chosen 'Rebooter'!

The primordial will is the true culprit hindering dimensional evolution; it sealed the source of annihilation to maintain its own rule!
