The flood of information came to a sudden halt.
The truth was like a cold meteorite, smashing heavily on Pei Du's remaining consciousness!
The Creator...Obelisk...Predator of the Universe...
The Ark…Ancient humanity's desperate counterattack…The fortress that holds the fire…
The final battle... a communal fall...
"Frost"...the key...the meaning of Xu Shuangyao's existence...she burned herself not only to fight against the Creator in Eden, but also to guide him here and restart this ancient fire!
And this wasteland... Eden... is nothing more than a prison and testing ground built by the Creator on the massive wreckage of the Ark's main ship! Those awakened "cocoons"... are none other than the Creator's avatars who fell into a deep slumber after being severely damaged by the Ark!
No wonder… The Watcher knows the Star Dome (the Star Dome’s laws may be derived from the same source as the Ark’s technology)… No wonder it reacts to the “key”… No wonder the Scavenger attacks him (multiple contaminations in his body)…
Everything... is connected!
Xu Shuangyao…she wasn't just his anchor; she herself was the final key to this eon-long journey, carrying the will of an entire civilization to resist! Her final words were, "The key… is… in… your… heartbeat…"—her heartbeat was the code to unlock the Ark; and the Ark's heartbeat was the hope that ignited the flame and perpetuated the resistance!
But now... the key... had been completely burned out in order to get him here...
Grief, shock, enlightenment... a complex wave of emotions washed over Pei Du's cold, numb nerves. The temporarily suppressed will of entropy within him seemed to sense the rebellious will within this information flow, unleashing an even more violent and malicious attack!
【Knowing...meaningless...】
[The fire...will eventually...go out...]
【Return…to…entropy…!】
Just then!
Buzz——!!!
The entire abyssal space shook violently! From the distant entrance to the passage above, in the direction of the heavily armored gate that blocked the black tide of entropy, a terrifying noise, like the crystal wall of the universe being forcibly torn apart, came from it!
[Warning! External entropy field...intensity...breaking through the barrier critical point!]
[Core barrier...integrity...73%...rapidly declining!]
[Detecting... Creator-level will... Locking... Heart of Origin...! ]
[High-dimensional pollution...invasion...! ]
The cold alarm instantly rose to the highest level, and the dazzling scarlet light almost burst Pei Du's helmet vision!
Countless gray-white cracks spread wildly across the surface of the massive armored gate above, like a spiderweb! The incredibly thick alloy armor plating that comprised the gate was losing its luster, becoming gray and decaying at a visible rate under the constant erosion of the Law of Entropy! The faint blue energy lines flowing across the gate's surface flickered like a candle in the wind, flickering furiously!
Even more terrifying was that behind the cracked gate, within the viscous, swirling tide of entropy and silence, an indescribable, gigantic, blurry "face," condensed from the pure laws of entropy and silence, slowly emerged! It had no features, only a constantly twisting, wriggling dark outline, emanating a cold, indifferent, and pure will of destruction that towered over all things!
It was it! It was the will of the Creator that had awakened deep within the Obelisk of Eden, fallen into a deep slumber after being severely damaged by the Ark, and then awakened again by the conflict within Pei Du and the activation of the Ark's core! It was pursuing us! It was determined to completely extinguish this last spark of resistance!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Heart of Origin below seemed to sense this devastating catastrophe, its heavy throbbing becoming more rapid and violent than ever before! The swirling vortex of dark gold runes accelerated, releasing even more powerful energy in an attempt to reinforce the barrier above!
Yet, the cracks in the gate continued to widen! The gray, decayed area spread like a plague! That blurry giant face, made of entropy, slowly and unstoppably... "sticked" to the cracked gate!
Swish——!!!!!!
The piercing noise of the Law of Annihilation reached its climax! The entire abyssal space shook violently!
In the center of the cracked gate, a massive, gray, rotten armor plate, like rotten wood thrown into strong acid, silently... crumbled and dissipated! A massive, irregular hole, tens of meters in diameter, was revealed!
The viscous, all-devouring black tide of entropy and silence was like a river of death that had found an outlet, carrying with it the absolute silence of annihilating all things and that blurry giant face of entropy and silence... It surged towards the bottom of the abyss, towards Pei Du hovering above the dark gold vortex, and towards the rotating "Heart of Origin"...!
The black tide of extinction finally broke through the last barrier and descended into the core!
A cold, dead silence instantly overwhelmed Pei Du! He felt as if he had been thrown into an icy sea of absolute zero, even his thoughts were frozen! The suppressed will of entropy within his body resonated with ecstasy, impacting the confinement of the Ark's power!
[The barrier... fails...]
[Core...exposed...]
Pollution...Irreversible...
【Execute...the final...agreement...annihilation...!】
For the first time, the Ark's core, the "Heart of Origin," declared with cold logic, a hint of near-desperate determination. At the center of the swirling dark gold rune vortex, the dark singularity suddenly illuminated! A devastating wave of energy gathered frantically within it! It was ready to self-destruct! Before it could be completely contaminated, it would detonate itself, annihilating the invading Entropy!
No! It cannot be annihilated!
Pei Du's consciousness erupted with a final burst of light amidst the extreme coldness and despair! Xu Shuangyao's burning figure, the ancient humans' tragic resistance under the starry sky, the countless sacrifices turned to dust on this wasteland... Everything, like boiling magma, swept away all fear and hesitation!
