"Annihilation."
A cold, hoarse thought, like the friction of cold iron, resounded directly in the core of consciousness of all beings on the battlefield.
Following this thought, Pei Du opened his five fingers... and gently clenched them.
Snap——!!!
That frozen, ripped space, along with the solidified crimson energy torrents and dark green ichor storms within it... was like a scroll thrown into a shredder, instantly covered with countless fine, icy, destructive cracks of dark gold law! Then, under the gaze of billions of horrified "eyes," it silently... disintegrated and annihilated!
It turned into a pure vacuum of laws where even light could not exist!
A scarlet high-energy particle beam? A dark green corrosive storm? A terrifying attack powerful enough to melt through a starship? In that gentle grip, it was as if it had never existed! Not even a ripple of energy remained!
Absolute erasure!
hiss--!
The entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence! Even the flickering red light of those emotionless crimson electronic eyes froze! The wriggling of the mother tree's roots instantly froze! The gardener's will seemed frozen!
What kind of power is this?!
Pei Du's molten gold starry eye ignored the ant-like horror below, turned coldly, and instantly locked onto the center of the battlefield - the figure standing stiffly, with black cracks all over the body, like a porcelain doll about to break.
His figure disappeared in the next moment!
It's not a high-speed moving afterimage, but... it directly crosses the distance of space!
It was like teleportation, and it was as if the place where he was was forcibly "replaced" by the law!
When he reappeared, Pei Du's starry body, burning with dark gold star flames, was already hovering in front of "Xu Shuangyao" like a god descending! The cold pressure of the law was like a real hammer, fiercely bombarding the control field that the gardener forcibly maintained!
"Let...her...go."
Cold, hoarse, and carrying an unquestionable and absolute command, like the verdict of the laws of the universe, it exploded directly in the core of the gardener's will! Every word was like a hammer of billions of tons, smashing hard on the gardener's already severely damaged will!
"No...can't...she...is...the...key...Eden...needs..." The gardener's will erupted in a painful and stubborn resistance, frantically squeezing the last of Xu Shuangyao's strength from her collapsing body! Trying to manipulate her into launching an attack, or forcibly pull her deep into the underground network of life!
Xu Shuangyao's body erupted in even more violent spasms under the dual forces! The black cracks on her body, like a forcibly torn wound, instantly widened! A crack on her left shoulder blade suddenly exploded! A stream of energy, a mixture of emerald green light, crimson fragments, and a thick void of darkness, gushed out like a fountain! Her hollow pupils suddenly widened, and a whimpering sound, completely drowned in pain, like a dying animal, emanated from her throat!
"court death!"
In Pei Du's molten gold starry eye, the slowly rotating dark green thorn rune chain instantly burst into a dazzling light! A mixture of starry sky laws, an extremely cold rage, spread from his body like a supernova explosion!
He stopped talking nonsense, and his right hand, which was burning with dark gold star flames, suddenly stretched out, and his five fingers formed claws, not to grab Xu Shuangyao's body, but... directly grabbed the invisible life energy network around her body, which was constructed by the gardener's will and forcibly connected to and controlled her!
Swish——!!!
A piercing scream, like cloth being forcibly torn, resounded through the soul!
Under Pei Du's sharp claws, which contained the laws of the starry sky, the gardener's tenacious life energy connection was torn apart like a fragile spider web! Countless emerald green energy threads bounced wildly and annihilated like broken strings!
"ah--!!!"
The gardener's will let out a shrill, agonizing howl! The force field it had been forcibly maintaining collapsed instantly! Like an octopus with its tentacles severed, its will was instantly severely damaged, frantically shrinking and retreating!
Without the gardener's control and support, Xu Shuangyao's rigid body suddenly softened as if all its bones had been pulled out, collapsing helplessly onto the charred, shattered ground! The black cracks on her body, no longer restrained by any force, spread rapidly like a flood! More void dark energy gushed out from the cracks! Her life force, like a candle in the wind, rapidly dimmed!
Pei Du's icy face, shaped by the laws of the stellar sky, seemed expressionless. But he moved with lightning speed! His left hand, blazing with dark gold star flames, instantly extended. He didn't grab roughly, but... with an extremely precise, almost cautious gesture, at the moment Xu Shuangyao's body was about to touch the ground, he firmly... supported her back and knees.
The arm with flowing dark gold laws formed a shocking contrast with the body covered with black cracks, flowing with mixed energy liquid, and so fragile that it seemed to be shattered at the slightest touch.
The moment he held her up, an extremely faint but extremely clear feeling of pain and dependence from the soul connection, like the slightest electric current, instantly transmitted to Pei Du's cold core of consciousness.
His molten-gold star-like eyes lowered slightly, their gaze fixed on the small, crumbling body in his arms. Those eyes, once ablaze with crimson flames but now filled with only a chaotic, pained glow, seemed to tremble with immense difficulty, ever so faintly... reflecting his cold face, ablaze with the light of the starry sky.
Just then!
Buzz——!!!
A huge, deep, and suffocating wave of will, carrying an ancient and suffocating feeling that seemed to have existed since the birth of the universe, was like billions of eyes opened by the sleeping sea of stars. Without any warning... it came down from the depths of the crack in the obelisk above that was torn apart by Pei Du and was spewing dark golden star flames...!
The source of this will is not the crumbling obelisk itself.
But... the deepest part of the obelisk, the absolute dark core blocked by layers of logical barriers!
Pei Du's molten gold eye of the starry sky suddenly raised up, penetrated the surging star flames and the collapsing monument, and instantly locked onto the source of will!
He "saw" it!
In the core of absolute darkness, countless...huge, icy "cocoons," composed of some indescribable dark matter and dark blue data streams...beat slowly like a dormant heart! Each "cocoon" exuded a soul-freezing ancient power and oppression! At this moment, stimulated by the ripped-apart, zero-returning collapse of the obelisk, the dark blue data streams on the surfaces of the "cocoons" closest to Pei Du suddenly became vibrant and dazzling!
The cocoon was slowly... wriggling! Within it, a cold, indifferent gaze, as if from the Creator overlooking the dust... seemed to... penetrate the cocoon's walls and fall upon Pei Du, upon the dying Xu Shuangyao in his arms, and upon the chaotic battlefield of Eden!
[…Law…Deviation…]
[…pollution…spread…]
[…Container…out of control…]
[…Execute…clean…program…start…]
The intermittent and extremely cold fragments of thoughts, like billions of ice knives, pierced into Pei Du's core of consciousness!
The "First Creator" sleeping deep within the obelisk is awakening!
