Chapter 58: Fire and Siphon Prison

A purple-black beam, silent and motionless, yet carrying an absolute malice that could freeze a soul, instantly pierced through the viscous, twisting space and pierced Lin Mo's chest! That wasn't a rush of energy, but the annihilation of rules, the slicing of dimensions! Lin Mo's pupils shrank to pinpoints, his body gripped by an invisible giant hand. His thoughts nearly froze under the absolute threat of death, only his heart pounding on the verge of exploding, his voice wailing in despair!

At this critical moment, when even time seemed to be stretched out——

Buzz!

A deep blue afterimage, like lightning tearing through space, suddenly appeared in front of Lin Mo!

It’s Shen Qingli!

Her movements transcended biological limits, so fast that only a fleeting image remained in sight! Her right arm, clad in a deep blue metal gauntlet, stretched fully out, fingers spread, palm facing the destructive purple-black beam! The black shuttle components previously attached to the glove's surface instantly disintegrated, reassembled, and stretched! The high-frequency particle oscillating blades recondensed within a hundredth of a second, but their form was drastically different—no longer spikes, but a rapidly rotating circular shield, approximately one meter in diameter, composed of countless deep blue energy ice crystals!

On the surface of the shield, the dark blue energy circuit pulsates wildly like a living body, forming a dense, constantly self-repairing energy field!

boom--!!!

A silent explosion exploded on the spiritual level!

The purplish-black beam slammed fiercely into the deep blue ice crystal shield! Two completely different forces, both imbued with terrifying might, clashed fiercely at the point of contact, annihilating each other! A blinding, blinding light erupted like a supernova, instantly engulfing everything in the center of the pit! A violent turbulence of energy, like an invisible tsunami, lashed out in all directions! Twisted metal debris was instantly vaporized and blasted away! The ground cracked and collapsed like fragile glass!

Lin Mo was violently flung back by the terrifying shockwave, his heavy tactical armor plowing a deep furrow in the ground! The tactical visor on his helmet instantly overloaded and shattered, leaving his vision in complete darkness! All he could hear was an extremely sharp buzzing sound and the groaning of his bones under the weight of the weight! He felt as if his internal organs were being violently kneaded and displaced by a giant hand, and a strong smell of blood surged in his throat!

The light dimmed slightly.

Lin Mo struggled to raise his head, and through the gap in the broken eyepiece, he vaguely saw the suffocating scene in the center of the pit.

Shen Qingli still maintained her blocking stance, but her condition was extremely poor. Her right arm, covered in a metal glove, trembled violently, and the dark gray uniform sleeve on her arm shattered and peeled off as if corroded by strong acid, revealing the arm underneath... that was definitely not a human arm!

It was a mechanical prosthetic limb, sheathed in the sheen of flowing liquid metal, its interior embedded with countless precise, dark blue energy lines and crystal structures! At this moment, this powerful mechanical arm was covered in spiderweb-like purple-black cracks. Deep within these cracks, dazzling purple arcs leaped and eroded like venomous snakes! Her entire body was enveloped in an unstable energy field, flickering with a crisscross of purple-black and dark blue light. Her feet sank deeply into the molten ground, and the surrounding space distorted like a broken mirror, reflecting strange light and shadows.

Her complexion took on a sickly dark gold hue, and within her silver-gray eyes, icy blue data streams flickered wildly, flickering unpredictably as if caught in a storm! Her gaze was filled with an utterly cold and chaotic feeling of being forcibly invaded and fiercely resisting!

"High dimension... erosion... locking... correction..." Shen Qingli's voice was intermittent, with a harsh metallic friction sound and violent gasps, as if two wills were tearing madly in her body! "Target... same origin... core... peeling off..."

"Shen Qingli!" Lin Mo screamed, struggling to get up, but the excruciating pain and the sticky feeling in the space prevented him from moving! He could feel that although the purple-black beam was blocked by the shield, the terrifying will it contained had not disappeared. Instead, like a maggot on the tarsal bone, it was madly eroding Shen Qingli's mechanical arm towards her core! It was using her as a springboard, and its target was still him!

"Let's go..." Shen Qingli turned her head abruptly, her eyes, surging with purple-black electric light and icy blue data, fixed on Lin Mo. Her voice was filled with an unprecedented, almost roaring struggle and... a very faint trace of anxiety that belonged to "Shen Qingli"! "Go... to the relay station... the core... coordinates... X-7, Delta-9... the source... there... destroy it! Quick!!"

The last word "quickly" seemed to have exhausted all her strength, with a determination that was on the verge of collapse!

At the same time, her cracked mechanical left arm swung violently to the side! An invisible, highly concentrated information flow shockwave slammed into a relatively weak pile of rubble made of broken alloy beams at the edge of the pit!

Boom!

The alloy beam was forcibly blasted open, leaving a gap barely wide enough for one person to pass through! Behind the gap, a rusty metal staircase stretched downward, engulfed in dust and darkness—a passage leading to an abandoned relay station deep underground!

"Go!!!" Shen Qingli's roar was almost drowned out by the roar of energy annihilation, but that unquestionable will was engraved into Lin Mo's mind like a brand!

Lin Mo's heart felt like it was being burned by a hot iron! He saw the anxiety and determination that flashed across Shen Qingli's eyes! This inhuman being was using her body and will to resist the erosion from the higher dimension for him, fighting for that slim chance of survival for him!

No time for hesitation! No time for grief and anger!

Survive! Find the source! Destroy it! This is the only way to survive! This is the opportunity Shen Qingli paid for with her life!
