Chapter 137 Embers Rekindled

Can't avoid...

It's really... over...

Pei Du...I'm sorry...I can't keep your spark...

Despair filled his chest again like cold molten iron.

Just then—

Buzz!

The dark golden light in his left eye, flickering wildly and on the verge of exploding, suddenly erupted again under the desperate pressure of countless deadly weapons and the crazy resonance of Pei Du's brand of burning all protective will! This time, it was no longer a chaotic energy storm!

Rather... it was a cold, absolute calculation and embodiment, like the activation of a sophisticated war machine!

The entropy horizon was forcibly raised to its limit! Time seemed stretched out! Every attack of the pirates, the energy stored in their muscles, the trajectory of their weapons, even the flight paths of their projectiles and energy beams through the air... all this information, like a vast data torrent, instantly poured into Lin Mo's forcibly expanded, nearly collapsing consciousness! At the same time, the raging, uncontrolled torrent of starry sky energy within his body, on the verge of backlash, seemed to have found an outlet under the guidance of this cold, calculating will!

No need to think!

The body reacts automatically!

Lin Mo's body, which should have been immobilized, suddenly rolled sideways at the moment countless weapons were about to make contact with his flesh, with a strange and precise trajectory that completely belied his serious injury! The movement was like a perfect dodge calculated by a supercomputer! As he rolled, his blood-stained right hand, with a smooth trajectory that even he himself could not understand, suddenly plunged into the cold metal ruins below him!

[Energy Guidance: Matter Dissociation… Target: High-Density Alloy Fragments (Scrapped Armor Plates)… Structural Reshaping… Form Locking…]

The cold command flashed through the depths of his consciousness!

Buzz——!!!

A weak starry sky energy with an absolute order attribute flowed along his arm that had been inserted into the ruins. Like an invisible chisel, it instantly injected into a piece of abandoned starship armor plate that was half-buried in the soil and tens of centimeters thick!

Swish!

Amidst the piercing sounds of twisting metal and humming energy! Under the horrified gaze of the pirates, the massive fragment of armor plate instantly softened, deformed, and stretched like plasticine being kneaded by invisible giant hands! Dark golden energy lines rapidly spread and traced across its surface, as if alive! In a mere thousandth of a second! A massive tower shield, its edges shimmering with dark golden light, its shape simple and ancient, dotted with mysterious star runes, and its center slightly concave to form a perfectly curved protective surface, suddenly appeared before Lin Mo!

Ding! Ding! Ding! Boom! Swish! !!!

Dense shotgun pellets, scorching energy beams, deadly blows from high-frequency cutting blades, destructive torrents from plasma welding guns... all the deadly attacks bombarded the star tower shield that appeared out of thin air like a rainstorm!

A deafening crash and the roar of annihilation merged into one! Dazzling sparks of energy erupted from the tower shield's surface! Dark golden runes flickered violently, flickering like breathing! The immense impact caused Lin Mo, holding the shield, to spit out another mouthful of blood. His right arm groaned under the weight, but he held on! The shield was like an insurmountable mountain, blocking all attacks in front of him!

"What the hell?!" The pirates at the forefront almost popped their eyes out! Rubbing a shield with bare hands?! What the hell is this monster?!

"Blast it for me!" Saan roared with a hint of uncertainty! He suddenly pulled out a thick, individual railgun emitting a dangerous red light from his back. The muzzle instantly began to charge, emitting a low, deathly hum!

Lin Mo half-knelt behind the tower shield, panting violently, each breath carrying a searing pain in his lungs and a strong stench of blood. The dark golden light in his left eye dimmed again due to this instantaneous manifestation and defense, its energy level dropping to 0.18%. The excruciating pain and disintegration within his body were like maggots in his tarsal bones. That move just now... that cold calculation, that precise evasion, that miracle of bare-handed defense... It was Pei Du! It was the battle instinct of the Star Guardian, imbued within Pei Du's imprint! At the critical moment of life and death, it forcibly took over his broken body!

But how long can this miracle that overdraws life last?

The rail blaster on Thane's shoulder was fully charged, and the muzzle lit up with a dazzling scarlet light! Destructive energy, enough to penetrate light armored vehicles in one blow, was gathering!

"Die!" Saen grinned, locking the muzzle of his gun firmly on Lin Mo behind the tower shield!

Just then—

Buzz!!!

An indescribable, soul-freezing wave of terror descended once again like the gaze of the universe itself! Clearer and colder than ever before! It carried with it the absolute impatience and determination to end it, borne of repeated provocations from ants!

In the void, the observer's massive shadowy silhouette hovered above the wreckage of the Light Chaser, a non-spectral light surging wildly! Those two points of faint blue light, like burning ice crystals, locked their gaze on the tiny carrier in the ruins below, which was once again erupting with intense fluctuations of ordered energy, even manifesting a law-created object!

[Variable... exceeded logical threshold... threat level... reassessed... exceeded annihilation level...]

[Executing final decontamination protocols…authorizing…activating…the “zeroing” matrix…]

The cold command is like the announcement of the end of the universe!

At the core of the observer's shadow, the annihilation matrix, composed of countless rotating non-Euclidean geometric shapes, instantly disintegrated and reassembled! A new, even larger and more complex matrix, emitting terrifying fluctuations that distorted and delayed space and time, was being generated! At the center of the matrix, there was no longer a grayish-white dot of light, but... an absolute, all-consuming "nothingness"!
