The icy shackles of logic, like millions of poisoned ice needles, pierced Pei Du's highly concentrated, nearly limitless consciousness! The Sentinel Compulsion Protocol erupted from beneath his right eye, carrying an absolute, unquestionable, icy will, frantically freezing his thoughts, his will, and his control over the Thorn Star Core! It was like the final moment of climbing a cliff, the rock beneath his feet being instantly drained away!
“Ugh—!!!”
Pei Du's extremely suppressed roar of pain, like the cry of a beast with its throat strangled, was instantly drowned out by the terrifying energy turbulence caused by the collapse of the annihilation matrix!
boom--!!!!
Without the support of his will, the annihilation net was like a giant beast with its skeleton ripped out. The gray-black light of destruction dimmed, disintegrated, and collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye! The ultimate killing move, constructed from the Thorn Star Core, the remains of the furnace, and the planet's will, collapsed with a loud bang when it was only one step away from victory!
Deep within the wormhole, the Reaper's wall of rules instantly captured this fatal flaw! Its cold will remained motionless, its pure execution logic remaining:
[Logic Suppression… Confirmed… Target Defense Collapse… Executed… Extermination Protocol…]
Buzz——!!!!
On the silver-gray wall of rules, the flowing blue data links instantly reorganized and shone to their fullest brightness! The entire wall suddenly dented inward, like a spring filled with power, then rebounded outward with even greater violence and coldness! A silver-gray torrent, condensed with the crushing power of the logic of a higher civilization, rushed in the opposite direction like an unleashed cosmic tsunami, following the collapsed channel of the annihilation network!
Wherever this torrent passed, the dissipated annihilation energy melted like snow! Space was forcibly flattened, crystallized! The flow of time was distorted and stretched! The target was clear and relentless—Pei Du, defenseless and paralyzed by conflicting consciousness! And behind him, the golden barrier—the Earth Shield—was violently swaying and dimming from the matrix collapse! And beneath the barrier, the fragile blue planet!
Death is so near! The icy breath has frozen Pei Du's soul!
"No--!!!"
Deep within the core of the Earth, Xu Shuangyao's (Gaia) scream pierced through the rock layers and the cold logical shackles within Pei Du's consciousness! That voice was filled with despair, heartache, and... a determination that transcended everything and burned itself out!
She saw it! She saw Pei Du's stiff, trembling back, saw the silver-gray torrent that swallowed everything, saw the fire of life that had just revived on Gaia Star about to be completely extinguished!
No hesitation! No trade-offs! The will to protect, faced with utter crisis, became pure instinct!
"In my name... I will burn my body... to protect you... to protect Gaia... forever!!!"
The last trace of human warmth in Xu Shuangyao's golden pupils was replaced by a burning determination! She suddenly opened her arms, as if embracing the entire planet! The burning golden flame mark between her eyebrows suddenly burst into a light a billion times more dazzling than a star! This light was no longer limited to her eyebrows, but instantly spread to her entire body!
laugh--!!!
Her body, shrouded in a golden halo, instantly became transparent and pure, like glass thrown into a furnace, transforming into the most refined and surging energy of the planet's origin! This energy was no longer gentle, but filled with the might and violence of burning life and sacrificing everything! Her hair, her skin, her bones, her consciousness... at this moment, all burned without reservation and without hesitation!
“Frost medicine——!!!” Deep in Pei Du’s rigid mind, the core imprint that was frozen by the shackles of logic, under the impact of this desperate call for sacrifice and the blazing light of the burning soul, was like an ice-covered volcano being thrown into the core lava, emitting a soul-tearing wail and rage!
boom--!!!
With Xu Shuangyao's burning body at its center, an indescribably powerful golden energy surged, like a starburst at the dawn of creation, instantly engulfing the entire Golden Kingdom within the Earth's core! This energy was so pure, so vast, carrying the final will and life of the guardian, following the planet's golden veins, ignoring the barriers of space, and like a surging galaxy, instantly pouring into the depths of Gaia's core!
Buzz——!!!
The Gaia core, a massive ball of golden light entwined and protected by countless golden roots, suddenly expanded and contracted under the impact of the ultimate energy injected by Xu Shuangyao's burning life! It was as if it had been injected with supernova fuel! The core pulsed instantly became violent and powerful! The emerald green roots on its surface, symbolizing the fusion of the Gaia Seed, were instantly dyed a burning golden red!
The entire planet's network of ley lines flowed like a superconducting circuit, its limitless current flowing through it! The ley line shield covering the planet, that shaky, dim golden barrier, instantly solidified and thickened under the infusion of the planet's core's violent energy! On the barrier's surface, the phantoms of mountains and rivers ceased to flow, transforming into roaring, surging golden waves! A protective will a hundred times thicker than before, carrying the dual wrath of the planet's core and its guardian, erupted with a roar!
This newly condensed and more powerful earth vein shield was like the ultimate outstretched arm of the planet. At the critical moment, it barely blocked the silver-gray rule torrent that was rushing in the opposite direction and the stiffened Pei Du!
boom--!!!!!!!!!
A collision that cannot be described in words!
The golden planetary barrier and the silver-gray logical torrent collided violently!
At the point of impact, space completely vanished! Only a chaotic singularity remained, constantly twisting and spinning, devouring all light and sound! The golden energy of the planet's will and the silver-gray force of logical rules clashed frantically, annihilating and tearing apart! The tragic song of protection and the coldness of extinction unfolded in the most brutal battle at the level of rules!
