Chapter 104: The Abyss of the Broken City

Atop the Emerald Tower, the gentle golden glow of the medical center was completely swallowed by the glaring scarlet alarm. The terrifying hum of the crumbling spatial structure was like billions of steel needles, piercing the eardrums of every survivor. The violent vibrations beneath their feet were no longer the aftermath of the previous orbital strike or energy collision, but the wailing and tearing of the earth itself!

Pei Du's body, covered in dark gold lines, remained motionless amidst the violent turbulence like a reef in the raging sea. His molten gold pupils instantly penetrated layers of buildings and rock formations, fixed their gaze fixed on the spatial disaster unfolding deep underground in the southwest D-7 area!

It's no longer a buffer pool! It's the gate to hell!

The turbulent, uncontrolled flow of spatial energy, mixed with a cold, vicious corrosive force, like an awakened, world-destroying beast, madly tore at the "vascular walls" of the City of Thorns' vast life veins! Ferocious spatial cracks, like the fangs of a vicious beast, were forcibly torn and stretched open by the emerald light of the earth's vein network! Beyond the cracks, there was no longer pure emptiness, but a cold, lifeless, man-made ruin strewn with twisted metal debris!

In the center of the ruins, the silver-white figure torn apart by the violent spatial turbulence—the silver-haired woman who endured inhuman torture in the memory fragments—her thoughts screamed like a poisoned ice cone, fiercely nailing the core of Pei Du's consciousness: "Together... destroy!!!"

Boom——!!!!

Along with this thought filled with endless pain and destructive determination, the surface of the D-7 area in the southwest of the City of Thorns collapsed and disintegrated like a biscuit crushed by an invisible giant hand!

A terrifying, massive spatial rift, over a kilometer in diameter, its edges twisting and wriggling wildly, its interior filled with pale, turbulent space and cold, metallic ruins. Like a monstrous wound in the universe, it blatantly pierced the newly born land of Gaia! The violent suction instantly formed a terrifying vortex, like a gluttonous maw, greedily devouring everything around it!

"No--!"

“Help!”

"The ground...the ground cracked!"

The screams of terror and despair were instantly drowned out by the terrifying roar of space tearing apart and the loud noise of buildings collapsing! Several peripheral buildings made of vines and roots were like fragile building blocks, instantly torn apart, stretched, and sucked into the pale abyss by the invisible force! The survivors who had no time to escape were like fallen leaves in the wind, screaming as they were swept into the rift, their bodies instantly torn into a bloody mist by the violent spatial turbulence, leaving not even a trace! The huge animated vine guards were like giant trees uprooted, struggling to be dragged into the entrance of destruction!

The terrifying Void Rift City descended! The shadow of destruction instantly enveloped the entire City of Thorns!

"Activate the highest level of city defense! Channel all energy to reinforce the non-affected area's barriers! Evacuate all personnel in the southwest area! Quickly!" Xu Shuangyao's weak yet supremely commanding voice instantly resounded throughout the city through the plant mind network! She briefly regained consciousness after Pei Du cut off the corrosive energy, forcibly squeezing out the first glimmer of her original power! The golden flame mark between her brows burned faintly but firmly, mobilizing the remaining willpower of the entire City of Thorns.

Buzz——!

The City of Thorns' remaining defenses were operating at full capacity, driven by the planet's will! On the city's edge, the massive war banyan trees erupted with final emerald beams of light. Countless drooping aerial roots danced frantically, injecting immense life energy into the city's defense matrix! Vast vine barriers rose in other directions of the city, their flowing golden veins ablaze with light, attempting to stabilize unaffected areas.

However, facing the terrifying rift, a kilometer in diameter and like a cosmic wound, these efforts seemed futile! The spatial distortion at the edge of the rift spread like a plague. Wherever it passed, the ground cracked, buildings twisted, and energy barriers shattered like soap bubbles! The entire city was tilting towards the abyss of destruction!

Pei Du moved!

The moment the rift opened and the destructive suction erupted, his figure, covered in dark gold patterns, suddenly vanished from the medical center like a black lightning bolt tearing through space! Only a slightly distorted energy ripple remained in its place!

Target——The Abyss of the Rift City!

He didn't rush to the edge of the rift to save them (that would be tantamount to suicide). Instead, like a meteorite, he crashed into a massive metal platform diagonally above the terrifying rift, a relatively "stable" structure. That platform, like an isolated island floating in a turbulent ocean of space, was the exact location where he had sensed the silver-haired woman had detonated the energy node, triggering a chain reaction of spatial collapse! It was also the source of the chaos!

call--!

A terrifying suction pulled at Pei Du's body, and spatial turbulence sliced ​​through his doomsday force field like billions of invisible razors! Countless fine bloodstains instantly appeared on his skin, covered in dark gold lines! His molten-gold pupils burned with a cold flame. He ignored the stinging pain in his body, his entire will focused on one point—that platform! The silver-haired woman who had set everything off!

boom!

Pei Du slammed down like a cannonball onto the cold metal platform, which was covered in broken energy conduits and twisted restraint rings! The immense force of the impact caused the platform to shake violently, and several large pieces of metal debris were shaken off and instantly swallowed up by the turbulent space below.

His eyes instantly locked onto the center of the platform.

The silver-white figure huddled there, even more wretched than in her fragmented memories. The tattered straitjacket barely covered her body, revealing a skeletal form covered in dark blue energy burns and embedded with metal wires. Her lusterless silver-white hair draped like dry grass, stained with dark red blood and metal shards. She seemed to have exhausted her last bit of strength, her body trembling uncontrollably, each spasm accompanied by a painful gasp. Her hands clasped tightly around a fractured energy node on the platform, gleaming with an unstable, dark blue light. Her fingers, twisted and deformed from exerting so much force, dug themselves deep into the cold metal. Blood trickled down through her fingers, mingling with the dark blue energy stream, creating a strange and tragic appearance.
