Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 658 The Struggle for Fragments and the Core's Defense Crisis in the Time Storm (1)

Deep within the temporal turbulence zone, a storm of time fragments, like sharp blades, relentlessly slices through the time-protective shield surrounding the guardian.

The shield's pale blue light had dimmed to its lowest point, and its surface was covered with spiderweb-like cracks, threatening to collapse completely at any moment.

The Guardian's consciousness swayed slightly due to the persistent dizziness, but it stared intently at the golden light in the center of the storm—the second fragment of the Chaos Guardian Rune was there. If it could be obtained, it would be able to secure a glimmer of hope for the multidimensional group.

"Hang in there! We'll be there soon!"

The guardian silently chanted in his heart, injecting the last bit of four-colored energy into the protective shield, barely slowing down the spread of the cracks.

His body swayed violently in the storm like a kite with a broken string, countless fragments of time flying past the protective shield, leaving tiny scratches.

The energy signal on the detector grew stronger and stronger, and the outline of the fragment became clearer and clearer—it was a translucent golden crystal with protective patterns flowing on its surface similar to the first fragment, only smaller in size and with a more intense energy fluctuation.

Just as the Guardian was ten meters away from the shards, the Time Shield suddenly shattered with a "crack".

A massive fragment of time struck his consciousness instantly, and countless chaotic images flashed before his eyes—the dazzling spectacle of the birth of the multidimensional group, the fierce battle during the initial invasion of the Mother Nest, and the despairing scene of the future core being destroyed.

These images flooded his consciousness like a tidal wave, completely disrupting his perception of time, and his body began to drift uncontrollably outward from the storm.

"Can not give up!"

With its last ounce of strength, the guardian forcibly pulled its consciousness away from the chaotic scene and reached out to grab the fragments.

The moment his fingertips finally touched the fragment, it suddenly burst forth with a strong golden light, which formed an energy barrier that repelled all the surrounding time fragments and firmly enveloped the guardian's stream of consciousness light—this was the fragment's self-triggered protective mechanism and its instinctive response to similar energies.

"Finally got it!"

A hint of joy flashed in the Guardian's eyes. He immediately bound the second fragment to his own four-colored energy. The guardian energy released by the fragment quickly repaired his damaged flow of consciousness along the energy link, and his previously disordered perception of time gradually returned to normal.

Using the energy from the fragments, he constructed a more robust golden protective layer around himself, no longer fearing attacks from the time fragments, and began to fly towards the outer edge of the time turbulence zone—he had to return to the core of the multiverse as soon as possible to strengthen the light shield's defense with the energy from the two fragments and resist the attack from the Mother Nest.

However, just as he was about to fly out of the time fragment storm, a black chaotic energy tentacle suddenly stretched out from a crack in the storm and wrapped around his ankle—the main body of the hive had actually disregarded the danger of the storm and sent a portion of chaotic energy into the storm specifically to wait for his appearance!

"Trying to leave with the fragments? Not so easy!"

The Mother Nest's consciousness, imbued with chilling killing intent, unleashed its chaotic energy tentacles, releasing a siphoning energy in an attempt to devour the Guardian's consciousness and fragments. "These two fragments belong to me!"

The guardian's body was pulled by tentacles and flew towards the main body of the mother nest outside the storm.

He immediately released the protective energy of the second fragment, which transformed into a golden blade of light that slashed at the tentacle. The moment the blade struck the tentacle, a crack appeared on its surface, and the suction of the siphon energy was noticeably weakened, but it did not break.

"Is that all the power?"

The Mother Nest's voice was mocking, and more chaotic energy tentacles emerged from the storm's fissures, binding the Guardian's limbs and torso, trapping him firmly. "You think you can defeat me with just two fragments? Today, you and the fragments will become the keys for me to break through to the core of the multiverse!"

The guardian's stream of consciousness began to be slowly devoured by the siphon energy, and the golden protective layer on the surface gradually dimmed.

Knowing he couldn't just sit and wait to die, he immediately fused the energy of the two fragments, preparing to release a powerful protective energy wave to break free from the tentacles' restraints. But just as the energy was about to explode, a violent energy fluctuation suddenly appeared in the time turbulence zone, and the flow of time in the storm instantly accelerated. The time fragments that were originally drifting outwards suddenly rotated in the opposite direction, forming a huge time vortex that swept up the chaotic energy tentacles of the mother nest and the guardian.

"How could this be?"

The mother hive's consciousness was filled with shock. Its chaotic energy tentacles were being rapidly torn apart in the time vortex, unable to resist the vortex's suction force. "How could the energy in the time turbulence zone suddenly go out of control?"

The guardian was also stunned by this sudden change, but he quickly realized that this was his chance!

Using the suction of the time vortex, he forcibly broke free from the remaining chaotic energy tentacles, and at the same time released all the energy from the two fragments, forming a golden energy cocoon around his body to protect himself from being torn apart by the vortex.

The energy cocoon carried him, flying rapidly towards the outer edge of the turbulent zone along the direction of the time vortex's rotation. Soon, they broke through the time fragment storm and arrived at the outer edge of the turbulent zone.

The mother nest looked at the golden energy cocoon bursting out of the storm, a trace of unwillingness flashing in its eyes, but it dared not rashly enter the storm again - the energy of the time vortex was too powerful, and if its main body were to be drawn in, it would likely suffer severe damage.

It could only watch helplessly as the energy cocoon transformed into a stream of light, entered the micro-space channel, and flew towards the core of the multi-dimensional origin.

"Guardian, you just wait!"

The mother nest's main body let out an angry roar, and the chaotic energy around it fluctuated violently. "Even if you bring back the second fragment, I will break through the multi-dimensional origin core within three days and turn all of you into my nourishment!"

It turned and flew into the depths of the chaotic space, clearly to find a way to quickly break through the core defenses.

Inside the miniature spatial passage, the guardian released the golden energy cocoon, looked at the two fragments of the Chaos Guardian Rune in his hand, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

The protective energies on the surface of the fragments resonated with each other, releasing a faint golden light, as if celebrating their reunion.

He carefully collected the fragments and began to check his own energy status—although his consciousness light stream was still somewhat weak, he was generally fine and would recover quickly once he returned to his core to replenish his energy.

"I wonder how the core is doing now."

The guardian was filled with worry, and he quickened his spatial traversal, causing the chaotic spatial scene outside the passage to rush backward.

About half an hour later, the exit of the passage finally appeared. Outside the exit, the golden light shield of the multi-source core was still suspended in the void, but the protective patterns on the surface of the light shield had almost completely dimmed. Countless black chaotic energy traces wrapped around the light shield like vines, and the light of battle could be vaguely seen inside the light shield - the core's defense was on the verge of collapse!

"not good!"

The guardians immediately rushed out of the passage and flew towards the core.
