The terrifying aftermath of the force field slammed into Xu Shuangyao! She felt like she'd been struck by an invisible giant hammer, sending her flying backwards! The clothing on her body instantly crumbled to dust under the force field's erosion, revealing her pale skin, covered in veins of pale gold and dark green. The veins twisted and bulged violently under the force field's impact, as if countless venomous snakes were struggling frantically beneath her skin! A short, strange melody emanated from her throat, a blend of cold mechanical sounds and painful human moans, and she slammed heavily into the rusty metal bulkhead behind her, shaking off large pieces of rust and dust!
However, even more astonishing changes occurred in Pei Du himself!
The forceful unleashing of the Thorn Kingship unleashed more than just his own strength! The entire abandoned laboratory chamber seemed to resonate with him! The cold metal floor beneath his feet trembled violently, groaning under the weight! From the twisted pipes and rusted instrument casings all around him, countless sharp, pitch-black, metallic, cold-gleaming thorn spikes sprouted at a visible rate! These spikes, like living creatures, carried the same aura of annihilation and restraint as Pei Du's force field, instantly transforming the space into a thorn cage filled with deadly spikes!
As for Pei Du, the dark golden lines covering his entire body flowed wildly like molten magma, their light blazing to the point of blinding blindness! His pupils completely transformed into two flaming dark golden vortexes. Deep within the vortexes, countless dark green runes, like ancient thorns, flickered and swirled madly! A cold, majestic, and tyrannical aura, towering over all living beings, like an awakening ancient king, emanated from him with a roar!
This aura... a blend of the supreme coldness of the star-core blood, the orderly restraints of the thorn kingship, and the violent, chaotic vitality of the mother tree, forcibly aroused! These three elements forcibly merged to form an unprecedented, destructive, and oppressive aura... the thorn spark!
"Cradle..." Pei Du slowly raised his head, his burning eyes of molten gold piercing the metal bulkhead, seemingly locking onto the diamond-shaped command ship above. His voice was low and hoarse with the friction of metal, and each word was like a heavy hammer hitting the structure of space. "You want my blood... Do you... deserve it?!"
In response to him, Xu Shuangyao's body, which had been knocked away and embedded in the bulkhead, "started up" again!
Those deep blue eyes ignored the wounds in her body and the violent clash of energy veins beneath her skin, their cold gaze fixed on Pei Du's explosive power. She struggled stiffly from the sagging bulkhead, her movements imbued with an inhuman, forced sluggishness. Beneath her skin, the clashing veins of pale gold and dark green shone like an overloaded electrical circuit, blindingly bright, even beginning to burn her skin and emitting a faint, scorching smell! But she didn't care, or rather, the program that controlled her didn't care!
"Target energy response...exceeds threshold...recovery protocol...upgraded..."
"Start... 'Zero Return'... Prepare Commands..."
The cold mechanical sound echoed again. This time, within the searing, conflicting veins on Xu Shuangyao's body, a faint blue light suddenly illuminated, forcibly suppressing and devouring the pale golden energy! Simultaneously, a destructive energy wave, powerful enough to freeze space itself, began to converge frantically at her heart! A tiny, yet faint, blue light, so intense that even Pei Du felt his heart palpitate, began to form!
Cradle... actually wanted to forcibly detonate the remaining Nullifier core energy within Xu Shuangyao's body! Using her as a human bomb, they launched the ultimate "zeroing" attack! Even if it meant completely destroying this "abnormal container," they would also eliminate Pei Du, the carrier of the "source blood," along with her!
“You dare—!!!!” Pei Du’s roar was like the fury of a wounded giant beast! The thorny sparks covering his body instantly erupted in violence! He took a step forward, and the metal floor beneath his feet shattered and sank like a fragile biscuit! His right hand, burning with the dark gold and dark green thorn light, seemed to have traversed the distance of space. With a rage that froze time and space, and a protective will, it fiercely grabbed at the destructive light point gathering in Xu Shuangyao’s heart! He tried to forcibly nip the detonating energy core in the bud!
However, just as his fingertips, burning with thorny sparks, were about to touch Xu Shuangyao's heart—
Buzz!!!
A massive, cold, terrifying scanning wave, carrying the repressive force of absolute logic, like the descending hand of the laws of the universe itself, instantly pierced through layers of rock walls and abandoned structures, fiercely bombarding the entire abandoned laboratory chamber! It was Cradle's command ship! It had finally locked onto the abnormal, rapidly escalating energy source below!
Right after!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Four beams of intensely concentrated, dark blue light, emitting an aura of spatial disintegration, like the judgmental spears of the god of death, disregarded physical barriers and instantly pierced through the thick metal ceiling of the abandoned chamber! With uncanny precision, the beams struck the core nodes of Pei Du's explosive power—the joints of his limbs! The commander of the Cradle remained ruthless, his goal clear: paralyze! Interrupt the energy burst! Create an opportunity for the "reset" command!
The speed of the beams surpassed thought! At the moment when Pei Du was grabbing Xu Shuangyao with all his strength, concentrating his power on one point, these four fatal strikes from the outside world accurately captured the weakest gap in his defense!
The deadly chill instantly froze Pei Du's soul!
In front of Xu Shuangyao’s heart is the “zero” core that is about to explode!
Then there were four space dissociation beams that were enough to paralyze him!
Attacked from both inside and outside! A decisive game!
“Ughh ...
Pei Du let out a final, soul-tearing roar! In his burning, molten-gold eyes, all hesitation, considerations, and pain were replaced by a determination that froze time and space, burning everything to the ground!
