Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 676 The Prelude to the Joint Attack and the Traces of Ancient Energy (1)

Inside the monitoring room of the Multiverse Origin Core, on the pale blue energy screen, the energy fluctuation curve of the consciousness fragments of the Chaos Origin Stone was slowly fluctuating. Although it was within the safe threshold, it was nearly 10% higher than three days ago.

The merged entity swiped its finger across the screen, bringing up the recent energy trajectory records of the mother nest. The trajectory repeatedly circled the edge of the chaotic space, never straying far from the direction of the origin of chaos.

"The mother hive is still lingering, clearly waiting for the best opportunity to attack."

She projected the record in front of everyone, her tone grave, “According to the Balance Guardian’s perception, the Chaos Devourer’s energy is also rapidly recovering. In less than half a month, they will be able to launch a joint attack, and that will be precisely when the Balance Key’s energy is at its weakest.”

The gatekeeper stood to the side, toying with the Absolute End Key in his hand. The black patterns on the key's surface glowed slightly due to energy resonance: "We need to reinforce the defenses of the Chaos Origin Land in advance."

I can inject Absolute Termination Energy into the defensive array, forming a 'dual-energy protective layer' that can both resist the siphoning energy and suppress the devouring energy of the Chaos Devourer.

The leader of the red light spots placed the list of newly trained defensive troops on the table. Each member on the list was marked with their energy attribute and area of ​​expertise: "I have selected fifty members with the strongest resistance to chaos energy to form the 'Origin Guardian Squad' to be stationed in advance at the Origin of Chaos, working with the five members stationed there to form the first line of defense."

A team member responsible for monitoring the depths of the chaotic space suddenly exclaimed in surprise. On the energy screen in front of him, a faint black energy trajectory flashed by and disappeared into the "dark domain" area of ​​the chaotic space, an unknown area that even the witnesses of chaos had never explored.

"Traces of that ancient energy have appeared!"

The team member's voice was tense. He repeatedly reviewed the energy trajectory, but could no longer find any trace of the black energy. "It moves too fast and can hide its own energy fluctuations. Our monitoring equipment can only capture a momentary trajectory."

The fusion entity immediately moved closer to the screen and zoomed in on the map of the dark region.

On the map, the Dark Domain is marked as an "Unknown Danger Zone," surrounded by a "Dark Matter Energy Belt" that is even denser than the spacetime fog. Any probe filament that enters will be instantly swallowed up.

"The Dark Domain is the oldest region in the Chaos Space. Its energy environment is extremely complex, and even the Balance Guardians cannot perceive the situation inside."

She retrieved the information previously provided by the Chaos Witness, which mentioned that there might be "Primordial Chaos Consciousnesses" within the Dark Domain. These consciousnesses were born at the beginning of the formation of the Chaos Space and possessed energy far exceeding that of the Lord of Chaos, but fell into a deep sleep for unknown reasons.

"Could that ancient energy be the primordial consciousness of chaos?"

The gatekeeper's expression grew even more grave. "If that's the case, its awakening poses a greater threat than the Lord of Chaos. We simply have no ability to fight against it."

The fusion entity took a deep breath, suppressing its unease: "Now is not the time to panic."

We'll proceed in three steps: First, the Origin Guardian Team will depart tomorrow and take up residence in the Chaos Origin Land to assist the Gatekeepers in reinforcing their defenses; second, I will remain at the core to optimize the monitoring equipment, expand its range, and attempt to capture more traces of ancient energy; third, the leader of the red dots will continue training the reserve forces to ensure the core has sufficient defensive capabilities to deal with any unforeseen circumstances.

Once the plan was finalized, everyone immediately got to work.

The members of the Origin Guardian Squad packed their equipment overnight, including anti-plunder energy crystals, spacetime adaptation devices, and defensive weapons, ready to depart at any time. The Gatekeepers began extracting Absolute End Energy and injecting it into specially made energy containers to be taken to the Origin of Chaos. The leader of the Red Light Points arrived at the training grounds to guide the reserve team members in practical training against Chaos Energy.

The next morning, the Origin Guardian Team assembled in front of the golden light shield at the core.

The fusion entity handed an "emergency energy crystal" connected to the balance key to the team leader. The crystal could temporarily replenish the energy of the balance key when it was low, thus maintaining the stability of the seal.

"If you encounter an insurmountable crisis, contact me and the Balance Guardian immediately through the crystal, and we will provide support as soon as possible."

Her gaze swept over each team member, her eyes filled with trust. "The safety of the Chaos Origin Land is entrusted to you."

The squad leader solemnly accepted the crystal and saluted the fused entity: "Rest assured, we will definitely guard the Origin Land and not allow the Mother Nest and the Chaos Devourer to get even a step closer to the Chaos Stone!"

After saying that, he led his team into the miniature spatial passage and sped towards the origin of chaos.

The gatekeeper followed closely behind. He needed to arrive at the Origin Land in advance to plan the injection location of the Absolute End Energy and ensure that the dual-energy protective layer could cover the entire altar area.

Inside the monitoring room, only the fusion entity and the monitoring team remained, their eyes glued to the energy screen, not missing a single abnormal fluctuation.

Five days later, the Origin Guardian Team successfully arrived at the Origin of Chaos.

The team members immediately joined up with the five stationed team members and began to set up anti-chaos energy devices around the defensive array; the gatekeeper, as planned, injected absolute end energy into the energy nodes of the defensive array. The pale golden primordial protective energy and the black absolute end energy intertwined to form a protective layer that shimmered with two colors of light, firmly enveloping the balance altar and the Chaos Stone.

"The dual-energy protective layer has been activated, and its energy intensity can withstand 80% of the Chaos Devourer's devouring energy."

The gatekeeper reported the situation to the merged entity through the consciousness connection: "The Origin Guardian Squad has set up temporary defensive fortifications at the entrance, equipped with 'Siphon Energy Disruptors' that can temporarily sever the energy resonance between the Mother Nest and the consciousness fragments."

When the fusion entity received the report, it was staring at a new trajectory on the monitoring screen.

The ancient energy reappeared. This time, it did not disappear into the dark domain, but moved a distance toward the origin of chaos before concealing its trace.

"Ancient energy is near its origin."

Her heart pounded, and she immediately sent a screenshot of the trajectory to the gatekeeper. "It is very likely that it is also interested in the Chaos Stone or the Balance Key. You must be vigilant and strengthen the monitoring of the Dark Domain."

Upon receiving the screenshot, the gatekeeper immediately adjusted the monitoring range of the defensive array, including the dark domain direction in the key monitoring area.

The Origin Guardian Team also dispatched ten members to set up additional monitoring devices in the dark domain of the Origin Land to ensure that any anomalies could be detected immediately.

As time passed day by day, the time when the Mother Nest and the Chaos Devourer were expected to launch a joint attack drew closer and closer. The energy fluctuations of the Chaos Origin Stone's consciousness fragments became increasingly unstable, with several brief energy peaks. Fortunately, the dual-energy protective layer suppressed them, preventing them from breaking through the safety threshold.

Half a month later, a strong energy fluctuation suddenly came from the edge of the chaotic space.

The combined attack by the Hive and the Chaos Devourer occurred three days earlier than expected!

The fusion entity saw through the monitoring device that the main body of the mother nest released a sky full of siphon energy, forming a purple energy net that headed towards the entrance of the Chaos Origin Land; the Chaos Devourer followed closely behind, surrounded by black devouring energy, preparing to tear apart the defensive fortifications at the entrance.

"The attack has begun!"

The fusion entity immediately sent an alarm to the gatekeepers through the emergency energy crystal: "I have led the reserve forces and they are expected to arrive in an hour. You must hold on!"

At the entrance to the Land of Chaos Origin, the members of the Origin Guardian Team were already prepared.
