Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 689 The Illusory Memory of the Primordial Ruins and the Sudden Attack of the Eroding Entity

Outside the secret chamber, a deep roar came from the eroding entity, and the devouring energy surged into the chamber like a tide, pressing down tightly on everyone's protective layers of laws.

The protective layer's light dimmed rapidly, the energy of the anti-void energy crystal was exhausted, and cracks began to appear in the consciousness light streams of some team members.

"Fusion, you take the fragments and go first!" The gatekeeper made a resolute decision, releasing all of his absolute annihilation energy to construct a black defensive wall in the secret chamber.

"My teammates and I will hold off the erosion. You return to the Origin through the emergency exit of the ruins. The fragments must not fall into the hands of the erosion!"

"No! Let's go together!"

The fused entity immediately objected, fusing the fragment's law energy with its own twin origin energy, releasing a golden-white interwoven energy wave that temporarily forced back the devouring energy.

"I have a way to activate the fragment's temporary teleportation function. The Sky Messenger left an emergency teleportation program in the fragment, which can directly teleport you back to the Origin Land, but it requires a 30-second activation time!"

A glimmer of hope flashed in the gatekeeper's eyes. He immediately adjusted the energy output of the defensive wall, blocking all the attacks from the corrosive entities outside the secret chamber.

"Thirty seconds! We can hold on! Team members, for the Origin Land, for the balance of all dimensions, hold on for these thirty seconds!"

The eroding entity's attacks grew increasingly fierce, its devouring energy blasting cracks in the defensive wall. The void worms also seized the opportunity to crawl in through the cracks and launch an attack on the fusion entity's activation program.

The team members used their bodies to block the worms. Their consciousness streams were riddled with holes by the worms, but not one of them retreated. They used their lives to buy time for the activation program.

"Ten seconds!" "Five seconds!" "Activation complete!"

The fusion entity let out a loud shout, and the fragments burst forth with a strong pale blue light, enveloping her and the gatekeeper.

Just as the teleportation light was about to flash, a pillar of devouring energy from the eroded entity pierced through the defensive wall and struck the fragment in the fused entity's hand.

The fragment's teleportation process malfunctioned, and the teleportation coordinates shifted from the Origin Land to an unknown area!

"No!"

The merged entity let out a cry of surprise, and the teleportation light instantly engulfed her and the gatekeeper, their figures disappearing from the secret chamber.

The remaining team members looked at the approaching erosion entity with unwavering determination, not fear. They released all their remaining energy, transforming it into a golden shield of light, trying to buy themselves a final bit of time for the teleportation.

The enormous figure of the eroding entity stepped into the secret chamber and shattered the golden light shield with a wave of its hand. The team members' consciousness streams rapidly became transparent as they devoured energy, eventually turning into wisps of gray-black smoke and dissipating completely.

The eroded entity stared at the empty chamber, a flash of anger in its eyes. Its consciousness transmitted a signal to the phantom manipulator deep within the Dark Source Rift:

"The fragments were taken away, but I interfered with their teleportation coordinates. They fell into the 'dimensional rift,' a region that even interdimensional alliances dare not easily venture into. They are doomed!"

Within the dimensional rift, the merged entity and the gatekeeper awoke amidst a chaotic flow of energy.

The surrounding space was sometimes distorted and sometimes broken, with countless energy streams of different dimensions shuttling through the turbulence. Any energy stream that struck the stream of consciousness could cause the consciousness to collapse completely.

The fragments in the fused entity's hands were in disarray, and the teleportation program had completely failed, making further teleportation impossible.

"This is the interdimensional rift... The Space Messenger said that the energy turbulence here can tear apart any known protective layer."

The gatekeeper checked the energy status of the Absolute End Key; the key's energy was less than 30%.

"Our protective layer of laws can only last for one hour at most. We must find stable spatial coordinates as soon as possible, otherwise we will be completely swallowed up by the turbulence."

The fused entity brought the fragments close to the stream of consciousness, attempting to perceive the surrounding space through the energy of the fragments' laws:

"The energy of the fragments originates from the same source as the cross-dimensional balance law. It can sense nearby 'stable spatial nodes,' which are the only areas in the dimensional rifts where one can temporarily stay."

A moment later, the fragment pointed to a pale blue energy node, where the spatial fluctuations were relatively stable and there was no interference from energy turbulence.

The two struggled through the turbulent energy currents, dodging deadly energy streams.

The fused entity's stream of consciousness was grazed by a stream of purple dimensional energy, creating a huge crack on its surface, and energy began to leak out rapidly.

The gatekeeper immediately channeled his own energy into her stream of light, temporarily repairing the crack, but his own stream of light became transparent as a result.

The two arrived at a stable spatial node.

The node is a small spatial platform suspended in the turbulent currents. The platform is engraved with the same runes as the cross-dimensional balance core, which is obviously a temporary supply point left by the cross-dimensional alliance.

The merged entity collapsed on the platform, trying to reconnect with its consciousness in the Land of Origin, only to find that the connection had been completely blocked by the energy of the dimensional rift, making it impossible to transmit any signals.

"We're trapped here."

The gatekeeper's voice carried a hint of weariness as he gazed at the turbulent energy currents outside the platform.

"The people of the Origin Land cannot sense our location, and the energy from the fragments is insufficient to reactivate the teleportation. What should we do?"

The merged entity did not despair. She placed the fragment in the center of the platform. The fragment's pale blue light resonated with the platform's runes, and the turbulent energy around the platform began to calm slightly.

"The fragments can resonate with the platform runes, and perhaps they can send a distress signal to the interdimensional alliance through the resonance. The Sky Messenger said that the interdimensional alliance can sense the energy fluctuations of the balancing core fragments."

She immediately channeled her own consciousness energy into the fragment, sending a distress signal through resonance to the surrounding dimensional space. The signal contained their location, the crisis they were facing, and the energy information of the eroding entity—their only hope.

Just as the signal was about to be transmitted, a strong energy fluctuation suddenly emanated from the depths of the dimensional rift.

This fluctuation belonged neither to the eroding entity nor to the interdimensional alliance, but rather carried a sense of "scrutiny," as if a pair of eyes were observing them from the shadows.

The fluctuations approached extremely quickly, reaching the outside of the space platform in less than ten seconds. A huge silver figure emerged from the turbulence, surrounded by unknown dimensional law energy.

The fusion entity and the gatekeeper immediately prepared for battle, only to find that the silver figure did not show any hostility, but instead transmitted a mental signal to them:

"Greetings, holders of the interdimensional balance core. I am the 'Guardian of Space' of the dimensional rift, here awaiting you on the orders of the interdimensional alliance—but I am not here to save you, but to warn you that the true identity of the manipulator behind the eroding entity is far more terrifying than you can imagine; it is closely connected to the seal of the 'First Lord of Chaos'..."

Before the silver figure could finish speaking, the dimensional rift suddenly trembled violently, and the devouring energy of the eroding body actually penetrated the dimensional barrier and attacked the space platform!

The fact that the eroding entity could track their location suggests that it had reached an agreement with some being in the dimensional rift, gaining the ability to traverse dimensional barriers.

The Space Guardian's expression instantly turned serious. It channeled its energy into the platform runes: "I'll temporarily hold off the corrosive entities. Send out a distress signal as soon as possible!"

The manipulator's goal is not only the cross-dimensional balance core, but also the consciousness of the first Chaos Lord sealed within the Chaos Stone.

It seeks to resurrect the first Lord of Chaos and, with the combined power of chaos and devouring energy, rule all dimensions!

The merged beings were shocked; the manipulator's conspiracy was far larger than they had imagined.

Without further hesitation, she poured all her consciousness energy into the fragment, and the distress signal finally broke through the dimensional barrier, speeding towards the interdimensional alliance.

Meanwhile, the eroding entity's devouring energy struck the protective layer of the space platform, causing the platform's runes to flash violently, threatening to collapse at any moment.

The merged entity and the gatekeeper watched the approaching eroded entity, then glanced at the gradually clearing distress signal trajectory in the distance, their hearts filled with questions:

Will the interdimensional alliance arrive in time? Can the Space Guardians truly stop the invading entities? What secrets lie between the Manipulator and the First Lord of Chaos?
