Destruction. Pure and absolute destruction.
The dark crimson beam blasting from the summit of the Decaying Throne wasn't a torrent of energy in the physical sense, but a spear of existential annihilation, condensed from the solidified will of decay, the wails of billions of wronged souls, and the Fungus Master's deepest hatred of life itself! It tore through the air, yet strangely, it made no sound, for even the vibrations of such elementary particles as sound were devoured and annihilated by the space it passed through! Light distorted and collapsed wildly around it, forming a brief and terrifying visual black hole. Only the viscous, indissoluble dark crimson at its core, like a clot of solidified blood, heralded the arrival of the end!
Target: Xu Shuangyao and Pei Du! Two tiny beings, struggling painfully in a torrent of memories, about to touch each other's souls!
Time seemed to be stretched to its limit, and then severely compressed in the next second!
Xu Shuangyao's fingertips, stained with her own warm blood, were mere millimeters away from the writhing dark red mycelium control interface at the back of Pei Du's neck! Her eyes reflected the dark red spear of annihilation that tore through space and devoured everything, and her pupils dilated with the ultimate fear of death! Her consciousness, already on the verge of shattering under the impact of Pei Du's violent and dark memory torrent, was now completely frozen by this ultimate will of destruction!
Pei Du's pupils, ablaze with dark gold flames, were also possessed by the radiance of annihilation! The will of the Fungus Master roared toward annihilation, and his own suppressed soul uttered a silent scream under the shadow of annihilation! The rotten crown of thorns between his brows flickered wildly, and the pulsating mycelial veins on his body twisted and spasmed violently like snakes plunged into boiling water! The blade pressed against Xu Shuangyao's throat, under the absolute pressure of the will of annihilation, even experienced an extremely tiny, uncontrolled deflection!
It was too late! Whether it was contact or dodging! In front of this spear of annihilation that represented the ultimate will of the Fungus Master, any action was meaningless!
At the very last moment when their consciousness was about to be swallowed by absolute darkness! At the very moment when the sticky dark red was about to touch their bodies!
Buzz——!!!
An indescribable, grand, and tragic resonance erupted not from the outside world, but from the emerald green "seed" buried deep within the torn wound on the side of Xu Shuangyao's neck! Qing Luo's final voice seemed to travel through time and space, resounding in the core of her shattered consciousness:
"My roots...are broken...my soul...is not...dead...I will...use...my...remaining...ashes...to...ignite...a new...fire!"
Swish——!!!
The hideous wound on Xu Shuangyao's neck was ripped apart once again, as if by an invisible force! This time, what gushed out was no longer blood, but an extremely condensed, emerald green light like liquid jade! This light instantly enveloped her entire body, flowing through the tiny gap between her bloody fingers and the mycelium at the back of Pei Du's neck, like a torrent of life bursting through a dam, pouring into Pei Du's body!
This wasn't an attack! This was... a sacrifice! It was the final essence of Qingluo's consciousness, igniting the ultimate resistance using Xu Shuangyao's body as a bridge, her life essence and the pheromone connection with Pei Du as a fuse!
"Ughh ...
The World Tree! Those energy roots she had just awakened, now engaged in a fierce battle with the Reapers at the edge of the battlefield! No! More than them! Her consciousness's tentacles penetrated the battlefield, penetrated the earth's strata, connecting to the World Tree's core root network, deeper and wider beneath the wasteland, entangled and gnawed by the ravenous roots of the Fungus Lord! Countless "node consciousnesses," on the verge of exhaustion, corroded by decay and pollution, yet still tenaciously pulsating, instantly flooded her perception!
She "saw" it! Countless World Tree root nodes, pierced and sucked by the Master's roots, like living juicers, extracting energy and data! She "felt" it! The agonizing pain and despair emanating from those node consciousnesses, like the torture of billions of lives! She even "heard" it! The Master's corrupted will, transmitted through the root network, the greedy sucking sounds and satisfied whispers! It wasn't just devouring energy! It was feasting on the pain, despair, and negative data torrents generated by the contamination and distortion of those root nodes as its sweetest nourishment!
"See it...lower life forms...your pain...your despair...your fear...how...sweet...this is...the real...source of power..." The whisper of the fungus master was like venom, directly penetrating into Xu Shuangyao's core consciousness that was forcibly connected to the network!
The truth! A truth so cruel it's suffocating! The Fungus Dome... The Fungus Master... The foundation of its power isn't simply the consumption of energy, but rather the ultimate exploitation of the negative emotions of intelligent life, extracted, amplified, and fed upon! It's a demonic flower rooted in the abyss of civilization's pain!
This cruel realization was like a red-hot iron, fiercely burning Xu Shuangyao and all the nodes of the World Tree's roots that her consciousness was connected to! The extreme pain was instantly ignited into a raging rage that burned everything!
"No--!!!"
From the depths of his soul, Xu Shuangyao let out a silent, universe-shattering roar! This roar, transmitted instantly through the consciousness network to every connected World Tree root node! Those nodes on the verge of exhaustion, those consciousnesses wailing in agony, the moment they received this resonant command stemming from the deepest pain, the deepest despair, and the deepest anger—
A collective riot!
“Root…Revolution——!!!”
