Then……

Her figure, along with the giant purple flame sickle, was completely swallowed up and decomposed by the microscopic spatial singularity, disappearing in the pure darkness that represented zero.

Only an extremely faint fragment, flickering with a faint blue light, shot out from the center of annihilation like a meteor at the moment of being completely swallowed up, cutting through the darkness and shooting with incredible precision... towards the beating "Tree of Life" chip on the chest of Su Yingxue's mother in the incubator!

Buzz!

The fragments merged into the chip, and the emerald green light flickered violently for a moment before becoming more stable, as if injected with new power.

After delivering this devastating blow, the blood-red runes on the beacon generator core instantly dimmed! It seemed as if most of the accumulated zeroing energy had been consumed! The countdown slowed noticeably!

[7… (flashing)… 6… 5…]

The price... is Shen Qingli's complete annihilation!

“No—!!!” Lin Mo’s consciousness wailed silently! A tearing pain ripped through the “fire seed” mark on his chest! Although Shen Qingli was a weapon, a “siphon,” the icy guardian created by her mother… but she just… to destroy the beacon… to protect her mother… annihilated?!

Su Mu stared blankly at the place where Shen Qingli had vanished, at the darkness that had faded into nothingness, then at the chip in her mother's chest in the incubator, which glowed even brighter after absorbing the blue fragments... A deep sense of bewilderment and even deeper sorrow washed over her. Shen Qingli... that cold yet powerful being bearing her mother's mark... had simply vanished... for her mother? Who... was she?

【4……3……】

The countdown continues! Although it's slowing, the end of destruction is still approaching! The blood-red light at the beacon generator core begins to grow stronger again!

Opportunity! The opportunity Shen Qingli gained through annihilation!

“Su Mu—!!!” Lin Mo’s roar rang out again, this time filled with desperate determination! He felt the emerald green cocoon of light surrounding him rapidly dimming. His mother’s spiritual will had been completely exhausted in awakening Shen Qingli and disrupting the beacon! The cocoon of light was about to shatter!

He used up his last bit of strength, and with difficulty raised his fingers that were eroded by darkness and numb with pain, pointing them to the beacon core that was flashing in the countdown, and to the sleeping figure of his mother in the incubator behind the core!

"Cannon...fire there...the connection point between the beacon base...and the mother body...the only...chance...to destroy...the beacon...and save...mom..." Every word was stained with blood foam, like the last motto of life!

Su Mu's whole body shook violently, as if struck by lightning!

She saw the location Lin Mo pointed to—the huge purple-black energy base of the beacon generator, and the thickest core pipelines flowing with purple-black energy connecting to the incubation chamber at the back! She also saw the incubation chamber protecting her mother's body where the pipelines converged!

Hit there? Attack where the mother is?!

A moment of hesitation was like a cold, poisonous snake biting Su Mu's heart! What if... What if the shot missed... What if...

【2……】

The countdown is like the footsteps of death!

"Believe...I...believe...Mom..." Lin Mo's consciousness fluctuations were extremely weak, but with an unquestionable firmness, it was transmitted to Su Mu's confused consciousness through the light cocoon that was about to break.

believe……

Looking at the peacefully sleeping face of his mother in the incubator, looking at the "Tree of Life" chip on his mother's chest that had absorbed the fragments of Shen Qingli and whose light was stable, looking at Lin Mo's eyes that were on the verge of death but still burning with crazy faith...

All the hesitation, fear and confusion in Su Mu's eyes were instantly replaced by a determination to burn all the boats!

She bit her lip hard! The smell of blood and the excruciating pain instantly sobered her up! Her bloodshot eyes shone with an unprecedented sharpness!

The "Battering Ram" mecha let out a final, tragic roar! The muzzle of its only remaining heavy particle cannon instantly adjusted its angle! Blazing white energy converged frantically! The target—the core pipeline node connecting the beacon generator base to the incubator mothership!

“Mom…I’m sorry…my daughter…is here!!!”

Following this blood-curdling scream!

boom--!!!!

The incandescent white particle beam, which condensed the last energy of the "Battering Ram" mecha and all of Su Mu's grief, hope and determination, was like the dawn that broke through the eternal darkness, tearing apart the smoke and dust and the aftermath of annihilation in the underground space. With an indomitable and all-consuming momentum, it struck the intersection of the thickest purple-black energy pipelines with incredible precision!

Time seems to freeze at this moment.

The blazing white beam of light collided violently with the pipes flowing with destructive purple-black energy!

There were no earth-shattering explosions.

There was only a sound so crisp that it made one's heart palpitate - click!

It was like glass shattering, or like some indestructible rule was forcibly broken!

Under the continuous bombardment of the particle beams, the surfaces of those thick purple-black energy pipelines were instantly covered with spider-web-like cracks! Within these cracks, dazzling purple-black light splattered and leaked like blood!

【1……0……】

The electronic sound of the countdown reaching zero sounded coldly.

But the light of zero that should have erupted from the core of the beacon generator and annihilated everything suddenly...stopped, like a giant beast with its neck strangled!

The madly spinning purple-black structure at its core suddenly froze! The blood-red rune ribbons on its surface, gleaming with brightness, instantly extinguished like a power outage! The suffocating aura of zeroing out, which had been building to a peak, dissipated rapidly like the receding tide!
