This is a nearly impossible task! The essence of the power of the End is destruction and abyss, the end of order, not a tool! Constraining it and shaping it into a precise, frequency-specific "scalpel" is as difficult as asking a tsunami to only wash away a grain of sand!
Buzz——!
The dark gold lines covering Pei Du's body suddenly lit up with a blinding light! Deep within his molten gold eyes, cold and blazing heat intertwined crazily! He forcibly suppressed the star core's instinctive urge for destruction, as if controlling an ancient beast poised to retaliate at any moment! An extremely subtle, yet incredibly precise, wave of pitch-black order, like the sound of the most precise tuning fork, painstakingly condensed and took shape at his dark gold-lined fingertips!
This wave is invisible and intangible, but it exudes an extremely cold sense of order, which perfectly matches the Ω-7 frequency provided by the source key data fragment!
"Break!" Pei Du shouted softly, like the whisper of the law!
That wisp of black energy, condensed with high-frequency orderly resonance waves, was like a living scalpel, piercing with incredible precision into the depths of the dim golden flame mark between Xu Shuangyao's eyebrows! Its target was directly the dark blue embers attached to the cracks in her soul!
laugh--!
An extremely slight sound of annihilation, yet it seemed to resound through the depths of the soul!
Like a red-hot needle piercing icy shards! The stubborn, dark blue ember, emitting an icy, chaotic aura, the moment it came into contact with the precise Ω-7 order resonance wave, seemed to have met its destined nemesis. Without even a hint of resistance, it silently disintegrated, dissipated, and turned into nothingness!
efficient!
A sharp light erupted from Pei Du's molten-gold pupils! He no longer hesitated, his fingertips flickering slightly, and the high-frequency order fluctuations, like the most dexterous chisel, swiftly shuttled across Xu Shuangyao's cracked soul imprint! Wherever it passed, the stubborn blue embers melted away like snow in the sun! Without the continued erosion of these pollution sources, the edges of the once hideous cracks, gently nourished by the energy of the final life, began to slowly heal and repair at a speed visible to the naked eye! Although still fragile, the fatal trend of collapse was finally curbed!
Xu Shuangyao's furrowed brows relaxed slightly, a faint tinge of color returning to his pale face. Though still unconscious, his breathing had steadied considerably. Deep within the golden flame mark between his brows, the faint spark seemed to be fueled by new fuel, slowly but relentlessly... a faint glow began to ignite again!
The flame of hope quietly rekindled in the cold ruins.
Pei Du slowly withdrew his hand, his body, covered in dark gold lines, still tense. His molten-gold pupils scanned Xu Shuangyao's gradually steadying breath, finally fading into the depths of the silent, abandoned hall. The fragments of the Source Key's data, after completing the clearing command, did not fade into inactivity. Instead, like an activated navigation map, they clearly projected into his consciousness the detailed structure of the area, the reasons for its abandonment, and most importantly—the several hidden paths leading to the core functional areas of "The Cradle."
Pei Du's attention was drawn to a path marked "Low Energy Maintenance Passage." The path meandered through a vast abandoned area, ultimately leading to a node labeled "Secondary Energy Core (Dormant)." A dormant secondary energy core...means a relatively stable environment, and possibly a weak energy source that hasn't been completely drained. This might be the only option currently offering Xu Shuangyao a relatively safe environment for recuperation.
There was no time for hesitation. Although the Cradle's annihilation bombardment had flattened the abyss of the Broken City, such violent energy fluctuations and the opening of the spatial channel must have alarmed the core of this icy creation! The Stalker, or something even more terrifying, could descend upon this abandoned area at any time!
Pei Du leaned forward, his arms, covered in dark gold patterns, gently yet firmly lifting Xu Shuangyao. Her body was cold and light, like fragile glass. His molten-gold eyes locked onto the direction indicated by the Source Key data fragment. His dark-gold-patterned feet moved silently and swiftly across the dusty metal floor, like a cheetah blending into the shadows.
At the far end of the abandoned hall lay a massive, twisted, and warped gate, half-buried by a massive metal wreck. A narrow, ripped gap, barely wide enough for one person to pass sideways, resembled the horrific wound of a giant beast. Beyond the gap lay a deeper darkness and the overpowering smell of rotting oil and metal.
Pei Du, holding Xu Shuangyao, squeezed sideways into the gap. The cold metal edge scraped against the dark gold-patterned battle armor, making a harsh, scraping sound. Inside the gap lay a narrow, downward-sloping passage strewn with broken cables and condensate pipes. The fragmented data of the Source Key acted like a beacon in the darkness, accurately guiding the path to avoid traps and structural weaknesses.
The passage was long and oppressive, echoing only in the dead silence: Pei Du's swift yet heavy footsteps, and Xu Shuangyao's faint yet steady breathing. Time seemed to have lost its meaning. After an unknown amount of time, the slope of the passage ahead gradually flattened, and a relatively wide intersection lined with huge, rusted pipes appeared before us. The fragmented data from the Source Key clearly pointed to a pipe entrance on the left, covered in thick rust.
Just when Pei Du was about to turn to the entrance on the left!
Buzz——!!!
A scalp-bursting, sharp buzzing sound of a high-frequency energy weapon charging suddenly sounded from the depths of the shadows at the right fork in the road!
Right after!
Sizzle——!!!
Three arm-thick energy beams, emitting a faint blue light and edged with high-frequency oscillation ripples, tore through the darkness like the lightning of a venomous snake. In a triangular shape, with absolute and deadly precision, they instantly sealed off all of Pei Du's escape space! Their target was Xu Shuangyao, who was in his arms!
