Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 671 The Black Nebula's New Ally and the Strange Movements of the Chaos Stone (2)

Without objection, the group launched another attack on the energy crystal. However, the Chaos Devourer had already adjusted its state. It condensed the devoured energy into a giant energy claw and grabbed at the team members—the energy claw was too fast to dodge. The light streams of two team members were hit by the energy claw and instantly devoured, leaving not even a trace.

"No!" The leader of the red light spots cried out in anger. He led the remaining members in a charge against the Chaos Devourer, trying to use their own energy to entangle it and buy time for the Guardians and the Fusion to destroy the crystal.

The Guardians and the Fusion seized this opportunity to accelerate the destruction of the energy crystals. The black crystals shattered continuously, the energy fluctuations of the Mother Nest and the remnant soul weakened, and the Chaos Devourer's devouring energy began to become disordered.

"There's one last batch of crystals!" The fused entity's voice was filled with excitement. She poured the last bit of twin primal energy into her weapon and cleaved towards the last massive energy crystal. The moment the crystal shattered, the chaotic energy within the black nebula suddenly fluctuated violently. All energy flows ceased, the energy of the mother nest and the remnant soul plummeted instantly, and the Chaos Devourer's devouring energy completely dissipated, turning into a black phantom and temporarily losing its ability to attack.

"Mission accomplished! Evacuate!" The Guardian immediately led everyone towards the miniature spatial passage. The Mother Nest and the remnant soul wanted to give chase, but due to insufficient energy, they could only watch helplessly as they left, their eyes filled with anger and resentment.

However, just as everyone was about to enter the passage, a strong energy fluctuation suddenly came from the depths of the chaotic space. This fluctuation was highly compatible with the energy of the Chaos Origin Stone in the Chaos Origin Land, but it was unusually violent. Obviously, the Chaos Origin Stone had an anomaly!

"Why is the Chaos Stone suddenly acting strangely?" A hint of doubt flashed in the guardian's eyes. He immersed his consciousness into the Chaos Guardian Talisman and sensed the situation in the Chaos Origin Land through the talisman. The spacetime mist in the Origin Land suddenly became unusually dense, and the black energy on the surface of the Chaos Stone began to overflow, forming a huge energy pillar that shot straight into the sky of the Chaos Space, as if summoning something.

"Not good! The unusual movement of the Chaos Stone is a sign that the Lord of Chaos is awakening!" The voice of the Primal Consciousness was urgent. "The Chaos Stone is the source of the Lord of Chaos's energy. Its unusual movement indicates that the Lord of Chaos's consciousness is rapidly recovering. The seal may loosen within a hundred years, nine hundred years earlier than we expected!"

The expressions on everyone's faces instantly turned solemn—a hundred years was simply not enough time for them to prepare. If the Lord of Chaos were to awaken prematurely, the multidimensional galaxy would be utterly powerless to resist.

"We must immediately head to the Origin of Chaos and destroy the Chaos Stone before the Lord of Chaos awakens!" The Guardian's voice was resolute. He changed direction and flew towards the Origin of Chaos. "The miniature spatial passage cannot directly reach the Origin. We need to return to the Core of the Multiverse Origin first, adjust our route, and prepare to traverse the spacetime mist."

Without objection, everyone followed the Guardian towards the core. Inside the black nebula, the Mother Nest and the remnant soul of the Lord of Chaos looked at the energy pillar in the direction of the Chaos Stone, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes—the Lord of Chaos's early awakening meant that their plan could be realized ahead of schedule. As long as the Lord of Chaos awakened, the multidimensional cluster would be completely destroyed.

The Chaos Devourer's devouring energy gradually recovered, and it sent a consciousness signal to the Mother Nest and the remnant soul: "After the Lord of Chaos awakens, he will once again rule the Chaos Space. We need to go to the Origin Land in advance to clear the obstacles for him and ensure that he can awaken smoothly."

The Mother Nest and the remnant soul nodded, and the three transformed into three streaks of light, flying towards the origin of chaos—their goal was the same as the Guardian's, but they had completely different purposes. An ultimate battle surrounding the Chaos Stone was about to unfold in the mist of time and space.

Within the golden light shield of the multiverse's core, the Guardian led everyone back to the core and immediately summoned all uncorrupted consciousnesses for an emergency meeting. At the meeting, the Guardian informed everyone of the anomalies in the Chaos Stone and the premature awakening of the Lord of Chaos, plunging everyone's consciousness into a deep gloom.

“Preparing to cross the spacetime mist will take at least a month, and we don’t have enough time.” The fusion entity’s voice was anxious. She pulled up the latest map of the Chaos Origin Land, where the spacetime mist was ten times denser than before. “Even if we set off now, it will take us half a month to reach the Origin Land, and we may encounter danger at any time while crossing the mist.”

The gatekeeper suddenly had an idea. He placed the Absolute End Key and the Chaos Guardian Charm together, and the energies of the two weapons resonated with each other, releasing a pale golden energy stream: "The Absolute End energy can tear through the spacetime mist, and the original protective energy of the Chaos Guardian Charm can protect us from the mist's erosion. By combining the two, we might be able to reach the Origin Land within three days."

A glimmer of hope flashed in the Guardian's eyes. He immediately channeled his primal guardian energy into the Absolute End Key, instantly covering the black patterns on its surface with pale gold and releasing even greater energy: "Let's begin preparations now. Trigger it in three days. No matter the cost, we must destroy the Chaos Stone and prevent the Lord of Chaos from awakening!"

Over the next three days, the Core of the Multiverse entered a state of emergency preparedness. The Guardians and the Fusion optimized the energy resonance between the Absolute End Key and the Chaos Guardian Charm to ensure a successful tear through the spacetime mist; the Gatekeepers and the leader of the Red Light Points organized all the anti-plunder energy crystals and spacetime adaptation devices in preparation for traversing the mist; and the consciousnesses reinforced the core's defenses to prevent the Mother Nest and the remnant souls from launching a sneak attack.

Three days later, the raiding squad regrouped, consisting of Guardians, Fusionists, Gatekeepers, the leader of the Red Light Point, and ten elite members—the last strength of the Multidimensional Group and the only hope to prevent the Lord of Chaos from awakening.

The group bid farewell before the golden light shield, then entered the improved miniature spatial passage and flew towards the origin of chaos. Outside the passage, in the chaotic space, the Mother Nest, the remnant soul of the Lord of Chaos, and the Chaos Devourer were also rushing towards the origin. The two groups were closing in on each other, and an inevitable final battle was about to erupt in the mists of time and space.

As the guardian watched the chaotic space rushing past outside the passage, the Chaos Guardian Talisman in his hand trembled incessantly. The Primordial Guardian Energy transmitted a dangerous signal—in the spacetime mist, besides the Mother Nest, the remnant soul, and the Chaos Devourer, an even more ancient and powerful consciousness was awakening. The fluctuations of this consciousness were more terrifying than those of the Chaos Lord and the Chaos Devourer combined.

Who is this ancient consciousness? Why has it awakened at this time? Can the Guardians and the raiding squad successfully destroy the Chaos Stone and save the multidimensional world amidst numerous crises?
