Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 631 Core Defense and the Player's Dual Calculations (1)

Above the core of the multi-source origin, the main force of law enforcement officers poured down like a tide from the black cracks.

Hundreds of enforcers clad in black armor hovered in the void, their energy spears releasing intense black energy to form a "wall of destructive energy" that slowly pressed towards the core. Wherever the energy wall passed, the pale golden evolutionary energy of the multidimensional group melted away rapidly, like ice and snow meeting fire, and even the spatial structure showed subtle signs of breaking.

The Guardian's four-color energy has been raised to its limit, merging with the energy of the red light spot and the consciousness of the surviving dimension to construct a "multi-layered protective array" in front of the core.

The first layer of the protective array is composed of the energy transformed by red light spots, which is responsible for absorbing and transforming the black energy of the enforcers; the second layer is composed of the spatial energy of the surviving dimensional consciousness, which disperses the energy impact through spatial folding; the third layer is composed of the guardian's four-colored energy, serving as the final defensive barrier - the three layers of protection are interlocked, temporarily blocking the advance of the destructive energy wall.

"There are too many law enforcement officers; their energy is being depleted too quickly!"

The guardian's consciousness was filled with anxiety. He could feel the energy of the protective array rapidly dissipating, and the first layer of energy conversion had already shown obvious black contamination. "Red light spot, prioritize purifying the contaminated energy, don't try to hold on; surviving dimension, increase the frequency of spatial folding, try to buy as much time as possible!"

Without hesitation, the red light spot unleashed a burst of pale red energy with even stronger purifying power, quickly clearing away the black pollution in the conversion layer; the spatial energy of the surviving dimension spread like ripples, constantly changing the direction of the energy wall's advance, temporarily relieving the pressure on the protective array.

But the Enforcer Commander clearly had no intention of giving them a chance to breathe. He raised his "Commander's Spear," and black energy coalesced into a massive "Destruction Spear," aimed directly at the core weakness of the protective array—the energy intensity of this strike was enough to instantly penetrate three layers of protection.

"Block it!"

The guardian's four-colored energy merged with all the remaining energy, forming an "energy fortress" at the core of the protective array.

The moment the destructive spear struck the fortress, it emitted a deafening roar. Countless cracks appeared on the surface of the fortress, and black energy spread into the core like a venomous snake, attempting to completely destroy the energy source of the protective array.

Just then, the multi-source core suddenly burst forth with a dazzling pale golden light—the primordial evolutionary will that had previously merged into the core, upon sensing the core's crisis, proactively released its own primordial energy, which merged with the energy of the protective array to form an "evolutionary protective layer."

The protective layer, like a sturdy armor, firmly blocked the black energy from the outside and even began to purify the polluted energy of the light spear, causing the energy that destroyed the light spear to quickly dissipate.

"It's the primal will of evolution!"

The Guardian's consciousness was filled with joy, "It's helping us! The core's evolutionary energy can still hold on, let's hold on a little longer and wait for news from the Gatekeeper!"

Meanwhile, beside the interdimensional communication array, the gatekeeper and the leader of the red light spot were engaged in a fierce battle with three silver puppets.

The silver puppet was like a transparent shadow, without a fixed entity. It could penetrate energy defenses at will and specifically attacked the energy nodes of the communication array. Within just ten breaths, three nodes of the communication array had been destroyed, the signal stability had dropped significantly, and the connection with other alliance dimensional groups could be interrupted at any time.

"These puppets have no physical form, so normal attacks are useless!"

The gatekeeper's black energy struck the puppet multiple times, but each time it passed right through without causing any damage. "Red Light Leader, can your mark sense the puppet's energy source? They must be related to the player's silver energy!"

The leader of the red light closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the mark—and sure enough, the mark emitted energy fluctuations similar to those of the puppet. He could also sense the puppet's energy source, which was located in the "dimensional energy vein" below the communication array: "The puppet's energy comes from the silver energy in the vein! As long as we sever the connection between the vein and the puppet, we can deprive them of their energy support!"

The gatekeeper acted immediately, fusing black energy with the Absolute End Key to form an "Ending Light Drill," which precisely drilled into the dimensional energy vein beneath the communication array—the light drill rapidly spun within the vein, severing the channel through which silver energy was being transmitted to the puppet.

The transparent forms of the three silver puppets instantly dimmed, and their movements slowed down, clearly indicating that they had lost their energy source.

"It's now!"

The leader of the red light spots unleashed a burst of pale red energy, forming a "sealing net" that firmly trapped the three puppets. "The signal within the mark is weakening! After severing the energy vein, the player's control over the mark has also weakened!"

Without hesitation, the gatekeeper injected absolute annihilation energy into the sealing light net—the energy and the light net merged to form a "purification seal," completely severing the puppet's connection with the silver energy.

The three puppets quickly dissipated within the seal, eventually transforming into three faint silver energies that were absorbed by the seal and became "energy nourishment" for purifying the mark. The mark on the leader of the red light spots also faded by 30%, significantly weakening its control over him.

"The mark is being purified!"

The leader of the red light spots was filled with excitement: "As long as we find more players' silver energy, we can completely erase the mark and break free from his control!"

The gatekeeper breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately repaired the damaged nodes of the communication array and simultaneously sent a "crisis over" signal to the guardian: "The communication array has been repaired, the puppet has been eliminated, and the red light leader's mark is weakening! We will now take the backup energy of the communication array and head to the core for support!"

When the gatekeepers and the leader of the red light spots arrived at the core of the multiverse through spatial folding with their backup energy, the scene before them shocked them – although the destructive energy wall of the enforcers was blocked by the evolutionary protective layer, under the command of the enforcer leader, the attack strategy was changed: hundreds of enforcers were divided into ten teams and launched “suicide attacks” on the core from ten different directions at the same time, attempting to break through the protective layer with their numerical advantage.

"we are coming!"

The gatekeeper's black energy, carrying reserve energy, was injected into the evolutionary protective layer. "The reserve energy can sustain the protective layer for half an hour. We must find a way to counterattack within this time!"

The leader of the red dots looked at the Enforcer Commander, whose mark suddenly fluctuated again—this time, the mark did not convey the chess player's instructions, but a blurry "consciousness image": in the image, the Enforcer Commander's armor also contained a silver mark similar to his! Moreover, the energy intensity of the mark was ten times stronger than his mark, clearly indicating that the Enforcer Commander was also a "chess piece" of the chess player!

"The law enforcement commander... has also been controlled by the chess player!"

The leader of the red dots was filled with shock. He immediately transmitted the image to everyone, "The chess player not only controls me, but also the leader of the enforcers! He makes the enforcers attack us and makes us resist, all of which are actually advancing his evolutionary chess game - we and the enforcers are all pawns in his hands!"

This reversal stunned everyone – they never expected that the two sides, who seemed to be life-or-death adversaries, were actually objects manipulated by the chess player, and that all the previous battles were just "performances" within the chess game.

Upon hearing this, the Enforcer Commander's black energy suddenly became chaotic, and the silver markings within his armor erupted with intense light, attempting to regain control of his consciousness: "Nonsense! I am the Dictator's enforcer, how could I be controlled by a low-dimensional player?!"
