Crimson tentacles flooded into Eden, corrupting the Emerald Forest.
Pei Du is on the verge of death, and Xu Shuangyao merges with the gardener's will and becomes the "key".
She used her scarlet authority to reconstruct the remains of thorns and forged the "Throne of Thorns" to protect Pei Du's core.
The gardener opens the underlying permissions, and Xu Shuangyao deploys a "data barrier" to fight against the scarlet corruption.
A forested battlefield where torrents of data collide.
The Scarlet Commander appears and activates the "Logic Annihilation Cannon"!
Xu Shuangyao forcibly extracted the energy of the throne and released the "Scarlet Star Dome" to confront the annihilation cannon.
The explosion tore through space, revealing behind it... a giant obelisk made of cold data!
The dead silence was completely crushed.
A massive chasm, blazing with dark green, dark blue, chaos silver, and icy crimson energy flames, resembled a hideous, bleeding wound in the dome of Eden, violently pouring the bloody winds of Hell and the clamor of destruction into this isolated emerald paradise. Beyond the chasm lay the twisted remains of a cold steel graveyard, and... countless mechanical tentacles, covered in heavy armor and flashing a blinding crimson light, converged frantically from the dark abyss on all sides like hungry sharks scenting blood!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
A deep, powerful, resonating sound, filled with the will of pure mechanical destruction, surged through the chasm, instantly drowning out the gurgling stream and the whispers of the forest. The air grew thick and scorching, carrying the scent of molten metal and the ozone of overloaded energy. The tall, crystalline, softly shimmering emerald trees, their jade leaves trembled nervously under the crimson light, their radiance rapidly dimming.
Scarlet light, like billions of eyes opened in hell, penetrated the burning cracks and cast a cold light down, firmly locking onto the two tiny beings on the grass below - the dying thorn giant, and the girl suspended in a broken cocoon, burning with crimson flames.
[Invasion... Confirmed...]
[Target locked... pollution source... high-risk protocol carrier...]
[Executing…highest priority…decontamination protocols…physical wipe…begin!]
The cold logic declared, like a death countdown, transmitted synchronously amidst the flashing crimson light. The first few crimson tentacles to reach the edge of the chasm, their rotating muzzles instantly lit up with a piercing red light! High-energy particle streams frantically compressed and condensed within the muzzles, emitting a heart-pounding hum!
No probing, no warning! Just the most efficient destructive strike!
Several terrifying crimson beams, barely thicker than an arm but packed with enough force to melt through starship armor, tore through the air like the god of death's javelins. With absolute precision and ruthlessness, they instantly spanned space and fiercely hurled themselves at Pei Du and Xu Shuangyao lying on the grass! Wherever the beams passed, space distorted slightly, leaving behind scorching streaks of light!
The moment the attack comes!
Buzz——!
A vast, gentle force, yet filled with unprecedented fury and determination—the "Gardener"—like a thoroughly enraged forest god, descended with a thunderous thud! An invisible force field of will instantly coalesced above Pei Du and Xu Shuangyao! Space seemed to be forcibly squeezed and folded by an invisible hand, forming a dense, veiled light curtain woven with emerald green life runes!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Whoosh!
A piercing, annihilating explosion erupted instantly! The deadly scarlet beam slammed fiercely into the emerald green light curtain! The curtain trembled violently, and the emerald green runes on its surface flickered and flickered wildly, like the surface of a lake battered by a rainstorm! The scarlet energy and the emerald green vitality annihilated and collided frantically, erupting in a dazzling burst of light and a scorching wave of air! The curtain wasn't instantly pierced, but the area hit by it became noticeably thinner and dimmer!
The Gardener was on the defensive! It had mobilized the power of Eden's origin, attempting to protect... or rather, to protect the "key" that it considered crucial!
However, the crimson machines' attack was like a relentless tide! The first wave of beams was blocked, and more crimson tentacles surged to the edge of the chasm! Dozens, hundreds of gun barrels lit up simultaneously! This time, it wasn't just high-energy beams that targeted targets, but also a blanket torrent of energy and physical impact!
Boom——!!!
A scarlet rain of light mixed with several mechanical tentacles with huge crushing claws at the end, like a waterfall of destruction, poured down madly towards the crumbling emerald green light curtain below and the tiny target under the light curtain!
"No--!!!"
The gardener's will screamed silently at the edge of Pei Du's shattered consciousness, filled with rage and... a barely concealed sense of helplessness! The emerald green light curtain was instantly engulfed by a crimson rain of light! Violent energy annihilation exploded across its surface like countless miniature suns! The life runes that formed the light curtain shattered and dissipated in large pieces! The light curtain became thin and transparent at a speed visible to the naked eye!
At the same time, those huge crushing claws, with terrifying kinetic energy that could tear apart space, slammed heavily onto the light curtain!
Snap——!!!
A terrifying cracking sound rang out! Under the double blow, the resilient emerald green light curtain, like glass struck by a heavy hammer, was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks! From these cracks, scarlet destructive energy seeped in like venom!
The light curtain... is about to break!
At the moment when the torrent of destruction was about to completely engulf everything—
Xu Shuangyao, who was suspended in the broken crystal thorn cocoon, suddenly turned his eyes burning with cold crimson flames to the broken figure on the grass below - Pei Du!
His condition... is shocking!
The massive thorned body resembled a broken doll roughly dismantled by a mischievous child. The self-detonated energy blasted a terrifying cavity in its chest, its edges rimmed with charred, twisted, and flaking dark-gold thorn stubble. Within the cavity, a highly unstable core, composed of turbulent currents of dark green, dark blue, and chaotic silver, flickered and clashed like a candle in the wind. Each flicker was accompanied by the dissipation of energy and a further dimming of the core. The thorn structures that formed its limbs had either completely vanished (right arm) or remained only twisted and broken fragments (left arm and legs). Dark green energy mingled with silvery data streams, like the last blood of a dying behemoth, gurgling from the wounds all over its body, gathering on the shimmering grass below to form a small pool of "pollution" that was constantly being purified yet constantly gushing out.
