Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 660 The Ambush of the Spatial Rift Cluster and the Conspiracy of the Mysterious Shadow (1)

Within the golden light shield of the multi-source core, the guardian is infusing the energy of two fragments of the Chaos Guardian Rune into the dimensional rune.

The pale gold patterns on the surface of the runes regained their vitality, like a flowing galaxy, slowly spreading along the inside of the light shield, completely erasing the traces of chaotic energy that had remained.

The fused entity sat beside the runes, its hands forming a hand seal, fusing the twin primal energy with the fragmented energy to create a batch of enhanced anti-plunder energy crystals. The crystals emitted a brighter light than before, effectively resisting the erosion of chaotic energy.

"The rune's energy has recovered to 70%."

The Guardian withdrew its hand, and the transparency of the consciousness light stream noticeably decreased. "After replenishing energy for another half day, we can use the energy from the two fragments to construct a 'double protective barrier' on the outside of the light shield. Even if the Mother Nest attacks with Chaos Raiders, it can hold them off for at least three hours."

The gatekeeper, holding a detailed map of the spatial rift cluster, walked to the guardian's side. Dangerous areas were marked with red dots on the map: "The 'spatial strangulation zone' of the spatial rift cluster is the only way through. The spatial rifts there open and close every ten minutes, and the strangulation force generated during the opening and closing can easily tear apart the light stream of a consciousness."

We need to build a 'space stabilizer' to safely pass through the strangulation zone.

The leader of the red light spot led his team to install the newly made anti-plunder energy crystal on the defensive device at the edge of the light shield. The crystal and the device combined, releasing a pale golden energy flow that merged into the light shield: "We have searched all the hidden areas in the core and found no lurking puppets of the Mother Nest, but the energy fluctuations in the chaotic space are becoming increasingly abnormal. The Mother Nest may be plotting a larger conspiracy."

A remnant soul of a star core suddenly drifted over, transmitting a weak consciousness signal: "I sense a chaotic energy fluctuation in the depths of the chaotic space that is stronger than the mother nest. This fluctuation is unfamiliar and has never appeared before. It is moving towards the spatial rift cluster."

The Guardian's brow furrowed instantly: "Chaotic energy stronger than the Mother Nest? Has the Mother Nest found an ally?"

He immediately immersed his consciousness into the dimensional runes, using their spatial perception capabilities to probe into the depths of the chaotic space—sure enough, a black energy phantom was moving rapidly through the chaotic space. The chaotic energy around the phantom formed a vortex, and wherever it passed, spatial fragments were completely swallowed up, making it impossible to discern the phantom's specific form.

"This energy fluctuation is dangerous."

The guardian withdrew its consciousness, its tone grave, "Its movement direction is completely consistent with the spatial rift cluster, it is very likely heading for the third fragment of the Chaos Guardian Rune."

We must set off ahead of time and find the third fragment before it reaches the spatial rift cluster.

The fusion entity stopped making the energy crystal and handed the remaining materials to the team members: "I'll go to the space rift cluster with you."

My twin primal energy can temporarily stabilize the opening and closing of the spatial rift, helping you pass through the spatial strangulation zone. The gatekeeper and the leader of the red light spot remain in the core to reinforce defenses and prepare for any potential attacks from the Mother Nest.

The gatekeeper nodded and handed the three completed space stabilizers to the guardian: "The space stabilizers can maintain spatial stability for thirty minutes, which is enough for us to pass through the strangulation zone."

If danger arises, activate the emergency signal on the space stabilizer, and we will immediately transmit support energy via runes.

The leader of the red light spots packed the last batch of anti-plunder energy crystals into a storage bag and handed it to the guardian: "These crystals can deal with sudden chaotic energy attacks, so be sure to keep them safe."

"Leave the core defenses to us; you can focus on finding the fragments."

Half an hour later, the guardian and the fusion entity were fully prepared and stood in front of the entrance to the miniature space passage.

The two fragments of the Chaos Guardian Rune trembled slightly in the Guardian's hands, releasing a faint golden light, as if guiding the way.

The gatekeeper and the leader of the red light stood aside, their eyes filled with worry, but they could only offer their silent blessings.

"We walked."

The guardian took one last look at everyone before turning and disappearing into the miniature spatial passage.

The merged entity followed closely behind, and the entrance to the passage slowly closed, completely isolating the core scene.

Inside the miniature spatial passage, the Guardian and the Fusion fly side by side.

The chaotic space outside the passage was pitch black, with only occasional flashes of spatial fragments emitting a faint light.

The fused entity infused its twin primal energies into its palm, forming a pale white energy filament that probed the passage wall to sense external energy fluctuations: "That black energy phantom is moving very fast. We must speed up our journey, or it will reach the spatial rift cluster first."

The guardian nodded and injected the energy of a fragment of a Chaos Guardian Charm into the passage wall. The passage's travel speed instantly tripled, and the scenery outside the passage rushed backward like a flowing ink painting.

About an hour later, the exit of the passage finally appeared. Outside the exit, a gray area full of spatial rifts floated in the chaotic space – this was the spatial rift cluster.

Within the spatial rift cluster, countless black spatial rifts crisscrossed like a spider web, emanating an aura that devoured everything. Occasionally, spatial fragments would approach the rifts and be instantly torn to dust.

At the center of the rift cluster, a faint golden light flickered, which was the energy signal of the third fragment of the Chaos Guardian Rune.

"The fragment is in the central area!"

A hint of joy flashed in the guardian's eyes. Just as he was about to fly out of the passage, he was pulled back by the fused entity.

The fused entity infused its twin primal energy into its eyes and looked toward the entrance to the spatial rift cluster: "There are traces of residual chaotic energy there, and the traces are very fresh. The mother nest may have already laid an ambush inside."

The guardian immediately released a probe beam towards the entrance of the rift cluster—the beam was struck by a hidden chaotic energy trap as soon as it entered the rift cluster and instantly dissipated.

The chaotic energy released from the trap was completely consistent with the energy fluctuations of the original nest, which was obviously set up by the nest.

"There is indeed an ambush!"

The guardian's expression turned grave. "The Mother Nest knew we would come to the spatial rift cluster to search for fragments, so it set a trap here beforehand, just waiting for us to walk right into it."

The fusion entity took out the space stabilizer and activated one of them: "The space stabilizer can interfere with the trigger signal of the chaotic energy trap. If we are careful, we should be able to avoid the trap and reach the location of the fragment."

Holding the space stabilizer, she flew out of the passage first. The stabilizer released a pale blue energy wave, forming a spatial stabilization field around her, temporarily suppressing the hidden chaotic energy trap.

The Guardian followed closely behind, holding another space stabilizer in his hand, vigilantly observing the surrounding environment.

The space rift cluster was completely silent, except for the eerie hissing sound that came from the opening and closing of the rifts.

The two carefully moved towards the center along the edge of the fissure cluster, avoiding one hidden chaotic energy trap after another.

Just as they were about to enter the spatial strangulation zone, a violent energy fluctuation suddenly came from the entrance of the spatial rift cluster.

A black energy phantom flew out from the chaotic space and hovered at the entrance. The chaotic energy around the phantom formed a huge vortex, sucking in all the surrounding spatial fragments—this was the mysterious black shadow that had been sensed deep within the chaotic space!

"We've finally waited for you."

The mysterious black figure emitted a hoarse voice, as harsh as the scraping of metal, "The Mother Nest said you would come here to find the fragments, and it seems it didn't lie to me."

The guardian's heart sank: "You're in cahoots with the Mother Nest?"

"A group?"

The mysterious black figure let out a cold laugh, "I just made a deal with it. It helped me find the fragments of the Chaos Guardian Rune, and I helped it destroy the Multiverse Origin Core."

"The fragment is now at the center of the spatial rift cluster. If you want to get it, you'll have to get past me first."

Two black chaotic energy blades materialized in its hands. The aura emanating from these energy blades was more dangerous than the chaotic energy of the mother nest, indicating that its strength far surpassed that of the mother nest.

The fused entity immediately injected its twin primal energy into the space stabilizer, causing the energy waves released by the stabilizer to become even stronger: "Guardian, go to the central area to find the fragment, I'll hold it off!"
