Chapter 866 Backlash from the Origin (2)
The phantom of the ancient creator snorted coldly, mobilizing the power of the altar to form a golden light shield that blocked Zi Yuan's attack: "Fusion body, quickly activate the protective power of the altar! Only by relying on the power of the altar can we resist his dimensional power!"
The fused entity immediately complied, channeling the power of the Origin Light and the Symbiotic Treasure into the altar. The altar erupted with an unprecedented golden light, and countless golden runes flew towards Zi Yuan, forming a golden rune array that firmly trapped him.
Zi Yuan was trapped by the rune array. He roared and mobilized his dimensional power, trying to break free of the restraints. However, the rune array contained the power of ancient creation and the power of the rules of the dimensional covenant, which perfectly countered his dimensional power. No matter how he struggled, he could not break free.
"Impossible! This damned rune array!" Zi Yuan's eyes were filled with anger, yet he was helpless.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the fused entity mobilized the power of the six colors and attacked Zi Yuan. The Lord of the Starry Sky, Yan Jin, and others also joined the battle, and countless streams of primal power converged into a torrent, crashing towards Zi Yuan within the rune array.
Zi Yuan was struck by the torrent of energy; cracks appeared in his purple armor, and he spat out purple blood. His aura rapidly weakened, clearly indicating that he had suffered a severe injury.
"It seems I miscalculated today." A glint of madness flashed in Zi Yuan's eyes. "Even if I can't obtain the origin of the multiverse, I'll make you all pay with your lives!"
He suddenly detonated a portion of his dimensional power, and the purple energy exploded like a bomb. The rune array was instantly riddled with cracks, and the phantom of the ancient creator was blurred by the shock. The spatial barrier of the hyper-multiverse cracked again, and chaotic dimensional energy surged out from the fissures, causing the entire universe to tremble violently.
"No! He's going to detonate himself, taking the entire Hyper-Multiverse with him!" the ancient creator phantom shouted. "We must reinforce the rune array immediately to stop his self-destruction!"
The fusion entity immediately mobilized all its power and poured it into the rune array. The Lord of the Stars and others also responded, and the light of the golden rune array surged once more, firmly trapping Zi Yuan's self-destructing energy.
However, Zi Yuan's self-destruction was too powerful, causing the rune array to crack more and more, threatening to shatter at any moment. The ancient creator's phantom gritted its teeth, pouring all its remaining soul power into the rune array: "This is all I can do. From now on, it's up to you!"
The phantom gradually dissipated, and the light of the rune array stabilized once more. Zi Yuan's self-destruction energy was completely suppressed. He let out a roar of unwillingness, and his body gradually shrank in the golden light, eventually transforming into a purple ball of light, firmly imprisoned by the rune array.
The group slumped in the void, their auras utterly depleted. They had paid a heavy price in this battle; many guardians had perished, and various universes had suffered severe damage.
The fused entity walked to the rune array, looked at the imprisoned purple light, and a complex look flashed in its eyes: "Zi Yuan, you should have been a guardian of the dimension, but you fell into depravity because of greed. Now, you should pay the price for your actions."
She mobilized the power of the Origin Light, intending to purify Zi Yuan's dimensional power and seal it within the ancient altar. However, just as the power of the Origin Light touched the purple orb, the orb suddenly erupted with a strange black energy. This energy, possessing a corrosive power even more terrifying than the power of annihilation, instantly devoured the golden light of the Origin Light and surged towards the fused entity.
"What kind of power is this?" The fused being's expression changed drastically. She tried to dodge, but it was too late. Black energy surged into her body, and her consciousness was instantly seized by a cold desire. A black light flashed in her eyes.
"Not good! It's the corrosive power of the Dark Dimension!" The Ancient Creator's face turned deathly pale. "Ancient texts record that the Dark Dimension is the opposite of all dimensions, containing the purest evil and destructive power. Zi Yuan is actually colluding with the Dark Dimension!"
The corrupted fusion body erupted with black and purple energy, its aura becoming extremely violent as it attacked the Lord of the Stars and the others. Wherever the black energy passed, the void was completely annihilated, and even the primordial power was forcibly devoured.
"Lord of the Fusion!" The Lord of the Stars shouted, trying to awaken her, but was blasted away by the black energy and seriously injured.
Yan Jin mobilized his life force, attempting to purify the dark energy within the fused body, only to find that his life force was instantly devoured the moment it approached, instead making the dark energy even stronger. "No! This energy is too strange; it's impossible to purify!"
Zi Yuan's voice emanated from the purple light, filled with maniacal laughter: "Hahaha! The fusion has been corrupted by the power of the Dark Dimension and has become a puppet of the Dark Dimension! Before long, she will completely control the Hyper-Multiverse and turn this place into a colony of the Dark Dimension!"
The crowd stared in despair at the rampaging fusion before them. They had just defeated Zi Yuan, but the fusion had been corrupted by dark energy and transformed into a new enemy. Moreover, the fusion wielded the power of the Origin Light and the Symbiotic Treasure, and with the added boost of dark energy, its strength far surpassed that of Zi Yuan before; they were utterly powerless to resist it.
Just then, the ancient altar suddenly burst forth with golden light once more, and the runes on the altar rearranged to form an ancient sealing pattern. Within the pattern, a line of ancient text emerged: "Darkness erodes, but the source can be dispelled; the heart of symbiosis can reverse the universe."
"The Heart of Symbiosis?" A hint of doubt flashed in the Creator's eyes. "Could it refer to the Heart of Symbiosis between the Fusion and the Hyper-Multiverse?"
"That's right!" The Ancient Creator suddenly realized, "The fused entity has been deeply bound to the origin of the super-multiverse, forming a symbiotic heart. As long as we can awaken her symbiotic heart, we can allow her consciousness to overcome the darkness's erosion and reverse the situation!"
"But how can we awaken the Heart of Symbiosis?" the Lord of Spiritual Essence asked anxiously.
"It requires the combined power of the faith of all beings in the universe, as well as the primordial power of the vast multiverse," said the Ancient Creator. "We must immediately gather all our power and awaken the consciousness of the merged entity!"
The Lord of the Stars immediately contacted the Inter-Universe Guardian Alliance, calling upon guardians and beings from all universes to unite their power of faith. Countless streams of green faith power surged forth from various universes, converging towards the merged entity. At the same time, the primal power of the Hyper-Multiverse was also mobilized, with golden primal light intertwining with the green faith power to form a warm energy flow that surged toward the merged entity.
Energy flowed into the fused entity, causing a slight fluctuation in the black energy surrounding it, and temporarily calming its violent aura. A struggle flashed in the fused entity's eyes, as if it were fighting against the dark energy.
