Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 670 The Black Nebula's New Ally and the Strange Movements of the Chaos Stone (1)

Inside the miniature spatial passage, the assault team's stream of consciousness was hurtling towards the black nebula at full speed. The guardian held a Chaos Guardian Talisman, the primal protective energy on its surface trembling incessantly, transmitting increasingly intense danger signals—the unknown chaotic energy fluctuations in the direction of the black nebula were far stronger than previously perceived, even forming an invisible energy pressure that affected the team members' consciousness through the passage walls.

“This energy fluctuation is very strange.” The twin source energy of the fused entity rippled slightly. She could clearly sense that in addition to the chaotic attribute, the energy also contained a trace of “space devouring” characteristics. “It can slowly devour the surrounding spatial energy. Our micro spatial channel is being quietly weakened. If this continues, the channel may collapse prematurely.”

The gatekeeper immediately injected absolute annihilation energy into the passage wall in an attempt to repair the swallowed spatial energy: "The energy is being swallowed very quickly. We will arrive at the Black Nebula in at most half an hour. We must prepare for battle in advance. Once the passage collapses, we will engage in battle directly in the chaotic space."

The leader of the red light spot led his team to inspect the improved spacetime adaptation device and anti-plunder energy weapon. The pale golden light on the surface of the device resonated with the energy of the weapon, forming a temporary protective layer: "Attention all team members, after entering the Black Nebula, follow orders and do not act on your own. Prioritize protecting the Chaos Guardian and prevent it from being contaminated by chaotic energy."

The team members nodded in unison, their consciousness filled with vigilance—they all knew that this raid was not only against the Mother Nest and the remnant soul of the Lord of Chaos, but also against an unknown and powerful enemy, and that the slightest mistake could lead to total annihilation.

Half an hour later, the exit of the miniature spatial passage finally appeared. Outside the exit, a massive black nebula floated in the chaotic space. Countless black energy points flickered within the nebula—energy crystals formed from the Mother Nest and the remnant soul. In the center of the nebula, a colossal black phantom hovered in the void, surrounded by chaotic energy that devoured space—the very source of that unknown energy. This phantom's form was somewhat similar to the Lord of Chaos, but even more distorted, and its energy fluctuations were far more violent.

"So that's the new ally?" A hint of seriousness flashed in the Guardian's eyes. He channeled the primal protective energy of the Chaos Guardian Rune into his eyes, trying to see the true nature of the phantom. At the core of the phantom was a purple energy ball. The fluctuations of the energy ball were similar to the siphon energy of the Mother Nest, but with a stronger corrosive effect.

"It is the 'Chaos Devourer'." The original consciousness of the Chaos Guardian suddenly sent a signal, carrying a hint of apprehension. "The Chaos Devourer is an ancient being born in the Chaos Space. It feeds on the energy of space and consciousness. Its strength is comparable to that of the Chaos Lord. When the Chaos Lord was sealed, it tried to interfere but was repelled by the first guardian. I never expected it to join forces with the Mother Nest and the remnant soul now."

The fused entity's face instantly turned pale: "The Chaos Devourer's devouring energy can easily tear apart the light stream of a consciousness entity. Our protective layer is simply unable to withstand it. This surprise attack is probably..."

"We cannot back down!" The Guardian's voice was firm. He injected the Primal Guardian Energy into the spacetime adaptation devices of all team members, and the pale golden light on the surface of the devices instantly intensified. "The Primal Guardian Energy can temporarily resist the erosion of the Devouring Energy. Our goal is to destroy the energy crystals and weaken their power, not to fight the Chaos Devourers head-on. Once the mission is completed, we will retreat immediately."

Everyone took a deep breath and followed the Guardian out of the miniature spatial passage, quietly approaching the energy crystallization zone of the black nebula. The chaotic energy within the nebula was unusually dense, and the energy consumption rate of the spacetime adaptation device was three times faster than expected. The team members could only try to compress their own energy to minimize energy consumption.

Soon, the group arrived at the energy crystallization zone. Countless black energy crystals were neatly arranged inside the nebula. The chaotic energy released by the crystals converged into an energy stream, which flowed into the body of the Chaos Devourer, enhancing its power. The Mother Nest and the remnant soul of the Chaos Lord guarded the edge of the crystallization zone, vigilantly observing the surrounding movements. They clearly hadn't expected the raiding team to arrive so quickly.

"Now!" With a command from the Guardian, it launched the first attack on the energy crystal. The primordial guardian energy transformed into a golden blade of light, slashing at the nearest energy crystal. The moment the blade struck the crystal, it shattered instantly, and the chaotic energy it released was purified on the spot by the primordial guardian energy and dissipated into the void.

The team members followed suit, attacking the energy crystals with weapons infused with primal protective energy. The black crystals shattered continuously, and the energy supply to the mother nest and the remnant soul began to be interrupted.

"An attack!" The Mother Nest's main consciousness, filled with rage, immediately unleashed its siphoning energy, hurtling towards the team members. "Chaos Devourers! Quickly, help us hold them off!"

The Chaos Devourer slowly turned around, a red light flashing in its eyes. It waved its hand and released a wave of devouring energy towards the assault team. Wherever the energy wave passed, space was completely distorted, the team members' spacetime adaptation devices began to tremble violently, and cracks appeared in the pale golden protective layer.

"Get out of the way!" The guardian immediately led everyone to dodge to the side. The energy wave that devoured them grazed past their stream of light and struck the energy crystal behind them. The crystal was instantly devoured, leaving not a trace of energy behind, only a black spatial rift.

"That's terrifying..." A team member's voice trembled. His spacetime adaptation device's protective layer had cracked, and if he hadn't dodged in time, he would probably have been torn apart by the energy being devoured.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the remnant soul of the Lord of Chaos launched an attack on the Guardian. The black chaotic energy transformed into an energy arrow, which accurately struck the Guardian's back. The Guardian's light stream was instantly dyed black, and the devouring energy began to spread to his consciousness. Fortunately, the primordial guardian energy erupted in time to dispel the black energy, thus preventing him from being completely devoured.

"Guardian! Are you alright?" The fusion immediately released its twin primal energy to help the Guardian repair the damaged light stream. "One-third of the energy crystal has been destroyed. Our mission is half complete. Shall we retreat now?"

The Guardian shook his head. He looked at the Chaos Devourer and saw that its devouring energy was slowly weakening. Clearly, the destruction of the energy crystals was affecting its energy supply: "Destroy another third of the crystals and completely cut off their energy supply. Otherwise, they will recover quickly, and the multidimensional group will face an even greater threat."
