Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 892 The Remnant Soul Alliance (1)

The giant hand of the guardian of the technological dimension clenched tightly, imprisoning the Lord of the Stars and another guardian in its palm. The crisp sound of bones shattering echoed in the empty central computer core room.

The Lord of the Stars was covered in blood, his silver armor was cracked, and the power of the Stars within him was forcibly suppressed by the power of the rules, making it difficult for him to even move his fingertips. Only his eyes still burned with an indomitable flame.

The other guardian's aura was waning, blood continuously gushing from the corner of his mouth. His body was slightly deformed under the pressure of the power of the rules, and his voice was weak but filled with resentment: "Lord of the Stars, are we really going to fail here? We haven't brought the fragments back yet, and the fused being is still waiting for us..."

The Lord of the Stars struggled to turn his eyes to look at the Guardian, his tone resolute: "No, we will never lose. Even if it costs us our last breath, we will bring the fragments back and protect the Hyper-Multiverse."

The voice of the Rule Guardian was as harsh as the scraping of metal, carrying a condescending indifference: "A futile struggle. You stole the dimensional core fragments, violating the rules of the technological dimension. Today, you face only death."

As soon as he finished speaking, the power of the rules in his palm surged again. The two Star Lords felt excruciating pain all over their bodies, and their consciousness began to blur, as if they would be completely crushed in the next second.

At the critical moment, a fragment of dimensional origin within the Star Lord suddenly emitted a faint yet resolute golden light.

The light spread along the meridians of the Lord of the Starry Sky, intertwining with the remaining Starry Sky power within his body. It even temporarily broke free from the shackles of the rules, and his fingertips twitched slightly.

The Lord of the Stars was startled and immediately focused all his consciousness, mobilizing the power of the fragments to rush towards the power of rules in his palm. The golden light merged with the silver power of the Stars, forming a thin but sharp blade of light that slashed towards the palm of the Rule Guardian.

"Hmm?" A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Rule Guardian, clearly not expecting the Lord of the Stars to be able to retaliate.

The light blade landed in his palm. Although it failed to cut him in two, it left a small crack, and the power of the rules in his palm was briefly disrupted.

Seizing this fleeting opportunity, the Lord of the Stars exerted his strength, breaking free from the Rule Guardian's restraints along with another Guardian. He staggered back several steps, panting heavily.

"Quickly, let's seize this opportunity to break through and head to the dimensional passage!" the Lord of the Stars whispered, clutching the fragment tightly in his hand. He mobilized the remaining power of the Stars to form a faint light shield to protect the two of them.

The other guardian nodded, enduring his injuries, and followed behind the Lord of the Stars, rushing out of the core chamber.

The rule-keeper snapped out of his daze, a flash of anger crossing his eyes: "Don't even think about escaping!"

He raised his hand and waved, sending countless light blades, formed from technological energy and the power of rules, shooting towards the two. The core of the central computer lit up again, countless energy lines surging, controlling the surrounding intelligent robots to surround the two.

The Lord of the Stars waved his arm, using a light shield to block the attack of the light blade. The light shield collided with the light blade, unleashing a strong energy fluctuation. The two were shaken back by the aftershocks and spat out blood again.

"At this rate, we won't be able to break through at all," another guardian said anxiously. His injuries were getting worse, and his breath was so weak that even mobilizing his power was becoming extremely difficult.

A resolute glint flashed in the eyes of the Lord of the Stars. He knew that it was almost impossible for the two of them to break through at the same time.

He stopped, turned around, and handed the fragment to another guardian, his tone serious: "Take this fragment and immediately go to the dimensional portal, return to the Hyper-Multiverse, and hand it over to the Lord of Spiritual Origin and the others. I'll cover their retreat and hold them off."

"Lord of the Stars, no!" another guardian hurriedly refused. "You can't stop them by yourself. We must go together!"

"There's no time to hesitate!" the Lord of the Stars roared, shoving the guardian toward the exit. "This is an order! The fragment is key to awakening the Fusion Master; there can be no mistakes. You must complete this task; it's more important than our lives!"

Having said that, the Lord of the Stars no longer hesitated. He mobilized all the power of the Stars within his body, as well as a trace of the original power remaining from the fragments, and condensed it into a huge silver light blade, which rushed towards the Rule Guardian and the intelligent robot.

With a do-or-die determination, the light blade slashed down several intelligent robots in front of it and headed towards the Rule Guardian.

The Rule Guardian snorted coldly, raised his hand to condense a shield of rule light, blocking the attack of the silver light blade. The light blade collided with the light shield, and after a deafening roar, the light blade instantly dissipated. The Lord of the Stars was also hit by the recoil force, slamming heavily against the wall, his body sinking into a deep trench. A mouthful of blood gushed out, and his breath became extremely weak.

"Lord of the Stars!" The guardian's eyes were filled with tears, but he dared not linger. He clutched the fragment tightly, turned and rushed toward the exit, silently praying: Lord of the Stars, you must hold on. I will definitely bring the fragment back and come back to save you!

The Ruler tried to pursue the Guardian, but was entangled by the Lord of the Stars with his last bit of power. The Lord of the Stars struggled to his feet from the ravine, mobilized his power once more, and charged towards the Ruler. Even though every step was extremely difficult, and even though his body was already riddled with holes, he did not flinch in the slightest.

"You ignorant ants." The Rule Guardian's eyes were filled with killing intent. He raised his hand and shot a stream of rule light toward the Lord of the Stars.

The Lord of the Stars tried to dodge, but it was too late. The stream of light struck his chest, and his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground. He could no longer move and could only watch helplessly as the Rule Guardian chased after the direction the Guardian was pursuing.

“It’s over…” A sense of despair flashed through the Star Lord’s mind. He knew that the Guardians were no match for the Rule Guardians, and the fragments would probably fall into the enemy’s hands as well.

At this moment, a faint voice suddenly rang out from within the Lord of the Starry Sky. This voice came from the residual aura of the dimensional imbalancer he had previously slain: "Lord of the Starry Sky, if you want to save your companions and obtain the fragments, then cooperate with me."

The Lord of the Stars was startled and asked in his mind, "Who are you? Weren't you already killed by me?"

"I am a fragment of the remnant soul of the dimensional imbalancer, hidden within your stellar power, undiscovered by you until now," the voice slowly said. "I can help you fend off the rule guardians, and even help you control the central computer, allowing you to break through smoothly. But I have one condition: you must help me gather the other fragments of the remnant soul, so that I can reshape my form and avenge myself."

A hint of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the Lord of the Stars. He knew that the remnant souls of those who were out of dimensional balance were extremely dangerous, and cooperating with them would be like asking a tiger for its skin.

But he knew even better that if he didn't cooperate with the remnant soul fragments, the guardian would surely die, the fragments would be taken away, the fused being would have no hope of awakening, and the super-multiverse would fall into an even greater crisis.

“Alright, I promise you.” The Lord of the Stars gritted his teeth and made his decision. “But you must promise that you will never harm my companions or disrupt the balance of the multiverse. If you dare to break your promise, I will annihilate you completely, even if it costs me my last breath.”
