Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 900 Mysterious Dark Energy (3)

What horrified them even more was that beneath the eerie energy lay a massive black altar, its surface covered in intricate and bizarre runes. These runes flickered with a black light, resonating with the eerie energy and emanating an even more intense, chilling aura. At the center of the altar, a blurry figure seemed to be firmly imprisoned by the eerie energy, motionless, its body radiating a faint yet incredibly powerful primal aura.

"What is that?" the Lord of the Stars asked in a low voice, his eyes filled with disbelief. "The figure in the center of the altar exudes an extremely pure primordial aura, yet it is mixed with a trace of strange, turbid energy. What exactly is it?"

The fused remnant of consciousness had a solemn expression as it carefully examined the figure in the center of the altar. After a long while, it slowly said, "I can sense that its primordial aura is extremely similar to, yet different from, the aura of the dimensional origin. It seems to be a part of the dimensional origin, but it has been eroded and polluted by strange energy, turning into what it is now."

"A part of the dimensional origin?" A look of shock flashed in the eyes of the guardian of the dimensional origin. "Impossible! The dimensional origin is a whole, never divided. Moreover, the power of the dimensional origin is extremely strong. How could it be eroded and imprisoned here by strange energy?"

At this moment, the remnant soul that was fusing with the eerie energy suddenly turned around and revealed a sinister smile to the three of them. At this moment, its aura was several times stronger than before, and its gray energy was mixed with a large amount of eerie energy. Its form had also become more solid.

"Lord of the Stars, fused form, I didn't expect you to dare to chase us all the way here." The remnant soul's voice became even colder, with a strange hoarseness mixed in. "You think that by defeating the original remnant soul, you can completely eradicate us? You're too naive."

"What exactly is this strange energy? And what about the figure in the center of the altar?" the Lord of the Stars coldly demanded, his eyes filled with vigilance. "What conspiracy do you have by merging with this strange energy?"

The remnant soul sneered and said, "This energy is called 'Dark Source Power.' It was born in the deepest part of the dimensional rift. It is more powerful and more bizarre than our remnant soul's power. It can erode and devour all dimensional energy, including the dimensional origin. And the one in the center of the altar is an avatar of the dimensional origin, which is imprisoned here by the Dark Source Power. It is constantly being eroded and polluted. Before long, it will be completely transformed into a part of the Dark Source Power."

The three men's expressions changed drastically, their eyes filled with horror. If the entity at the center of the altar was indeed an avatar of the dimensional origin, once it was completely corrupted by the power of the dark source, then the dimensional origin of the entire super-multiverse would be affected, and might even be corrupted by the power of the dark source. In that case, the entire super-multiverse would be completely destroyed.

"Your conspiracy is to erode the dimensional origin clone, transform it into dark source power, and then use the dark source power to erode the entire hyper-multiverse and seize the power of the dimensional origin?" the fused entity asked coldly, a chilling killing intent flashing in its eyes.

“That’s right,” the remnant soul said smugly. “The original remnant soul had already discovered the existence of the Dark Source Power and found the trace of the Dimensional Origin Avatar. The reason he launched the all-out attack was to attract your attention, allowing me to take the opportunity to use the Dark Source Power to erode the Dimensional Origin Avatar. Once the Dimensional Origin Avatar is completely transformed, we can use the Dark Source Power to erode the entire Dimensional Origin. At that time, the entire Hyper-Multiverse will become our possession, and I will replace the original remnant soul, becoming the leader of all remnant souls and the absolute ruler of the dimensions!”

"Wishful thinking!" The Lord of the Stars roared, mobilizing the power of the stars and the primal power of the fragments within his body, condensing them into a massive silver blade of light, which he slashed towards the remnant soul and the power of the Dark Source. "Today, we will completely eradicate you and protect the dimensional origin avatar!"

The Dimensional Origin Guardian immediately mobilized the power of the rules, transforming into a golden stream of light that rushed towards the Dark Source Power, attempting to break the Dark Source Power's confinement of the Dimensional Origin clone; the fused entity mobilized the power of origin, forming a golden light shield to protect the three figures, while simultaneously attacking the remnant soul to prevent it from continuing to merge with the Dark Source Power.

The remnant soul sneered, raised his hand, and the power of the Dark Source surged instantly, forming a huge black light shield that blocked the Star Lord's light blade attack. At the same time, he mobilized the fused energy to form countless black light blades, which shot towards the three of them.

The light blades carried a strong corrosive force, eroding the space in their wake with tiny cracks. The three Star Lords nimbly dodged the attacks of the light blades, continuously launching attacks on the remnant soul and the power of darkness.

The golden and silver energies collided with the black dark source power, unleashing a powerful energy shockwave. The entire core area trembled violently, the eerie runes on the altar flickered even more intensely, and the aura of the dark source power became increasingly dense.

The Star Lord's light blades continued to slash at the black light shield, causing cracks to appear on it, which were then quickly repaired by the power of the Dark Source. The power of the Dimensional Origin Guardian's rules could temporarily suppress the power of the Dark Source, but it could not completely break its confinement over the Dimensional Origin clone. The fusion body's primordial power could purify some of the Dark Source power, but it was also being rapidly consumed, and its form became illusory again.

"It's useless. You can't withstand the power of the Dark Source at all." The remnant soul laughed triumphantly. "In a moment, I will be able to completely merge with the Dark Source. At that time, you will all be devoured by the Dark Source and become nourishment for my power!"

He increased the output of his dark energy, causing the black light shield to blaze brightly, completely deflecting the Star Lord's light blade back. The Star Lord was struck by the recoil and slammed heavily against the edge of the altar, spitting out a mouthful of silver blood, his aura instantly weakening.

The guardian of the dimensional origin was also struck by the backlash of the dark source power, spitting out golden blood, and cracks appeared in the light shield of the power of rules; the remnant soul of the fused entity was pale, its source power was greatly depleted, and it was about to collapse.

The three felt a chill run down their spines, their eyes filled with despair. The power of the Dark Source was far too great, and the remnant soul was constantly merging with it, growing stronger with each passing moment. They simply couldn't resist it. If this continued, not only would they be unable to eradicate the Dark Source and rescue the dimensional origin avatar, but they themselves would also be devoured by the Dark Source.

The remnant soul fragments within the Star Lord suddenly awoke once more. This time, instead of becoming agitated, it became unusually calm.

"Lord of the Stars, there is only one way to defeat them and rescue the Dimensional Origin Avatar." The voice of the remnant soul fragment carried a hint of solemnity. "Although the Dark Source Power is powerful, its core is the energy of the Dimensional Origin Avatar. As long as we can awaken the consciousness of the Dimensional Origin Avatar and allow it to mobilize its own source power, we can completely purify the Dark Source Power and defeat the remnant soul."

"Awaken the consciousness of the dimensional origin avatar?" The Lord of the Stars was startled and quickly asked, "How can we awaken its consciousness? It has been imprisoned and eroded by the power of the dark source for so long, its consciousness has probably fallen into a deep sleep, or even been corrupted."
