Conflict breaks out instantly!
Swish——!!!
The crushing claw at the end of a scarlet mechanical tentacle slammed down hard on a foul root that was trying to wrap itself around Xu Shuangyao! The sharp alloy edge of the claw collided violently with the thick cuticle of the root, emitting a sharp metallic scraping sound! Dark green pus and scarlet energy sparks flew everywhere!
[Alert! Encountered...unknown...biological contamination source...!]
[Threat Level…High…Execute…Clearance Protocol…Priority…!]
The Crimson Machine's icy logic instantly identified the incoming Mother Tree roots as a new source of pollution in need of purification! The Mother Tree roots, in turn, viewed these icy creations that prevented them from obtaining pure life energy and a "vessel" as obstacles that must be eliminated!
Boom! Bang! Whoosh!
The battlefield of destruction instantly grew more chaotic and brutal! Scarlet high-energy rays and dark green corrosive breaths collided and annihilated in mid-air! Gigantic mechanical claws and filthy roots covered in bone spurs frantically strangled and tore! Ice-cold logical commands and the greedy roar of life collided at the level of consciousness! The remaining emerald forest and the ruins of the crystal temple, caught between these two destructive torrents and fighting each other, were further torn apart and flattened like fragile toys!
Eden has completely turned into an arena of hell!
And in the center of this chaos and destruction, Xu Shuangyao fell on the charred grass, like a small boat in a storm, which could be completely torn apart or swallowed by any force at any time!
"Container... danger...!" The gardener's frail thoughts were filled with extreme anxiety. Xu Shuangyao was the only "key" to combating the Scarlet Corruption, repairing Eden, and even reactivating certain critical functions in the future! It must not be erased by the Scarlet, nor swallowed and fused by the Mother Tree!
A vast will forcibly gathered its remaining strength. A weak barrier composed of emerald green vines and remnant life runes instantly formed above Xu Shuangyao's body, attempting to block stray bullets and energy splashes.
However, under the impact of the scarlet rays and the aftermath of the mother tree's corrosive breath, this weak barrier became as fragile as a soap bubble and was instantly covered with cracks!
"Strength... insufficient... must... fight back... eliminate... the invaders...!" The gardener's thoughts were filled with pain and struggle. With his remaining strength alone, he couldn't resist the dual invasion of Scarlet and the Mother Tree, let alone protect Xu Shuangyao from the chaos!
Its "gaze" finally fell on the unconscious body below, which was as fragile as fine porcelain.
Xu Shuangyao… this body, a fusion of Eden's ecological authority and the power of the Crimson Protocol… is the only hub capable of mobilizing Eden's remaining source power for a counterattack! Although her consciousness is on the verge of collapse, forcibly driving it would cause irreversible damage and might even completely destroy this "key"… but at this moment, there is no other choice!
"In the name of... the Gardener... I will... take over... the... ecological... defense... protocol..."
"Links...Containers...Body...Open...Infrastructure...Life...Network..."
"Command...Execute...Ecological...Wrath...!"
An irresistible, huge green data torrent with a sense of forced connection, like an awakened forest python, instantly extracted the last source of power from the broken earth, withered trees, and remaining streams, gathered into a surging torrent, and poured fiercely into Xu Shuangyao's curled up body!
“Ugh—!”
Xu Shuangyao's unconscious body suddenly convulsed violently! It was as if she had been subjected to the cruelest electric shock! Beneath her nearly transparent skin, those dim energy veins were instantly illuminated, filled, and even torn apart by the violent emerald green torrent! Tiny black cracks spread across her body like spiderwebs! Her empty pupils suddenly opened, and the whites of her eyes were instantly filled with violent emerald green life energy. Deep within her pupils was a chaos of unconsciousness, drowned in pain! Her consciousness was forcibly suppressed, imprisoned deep within her body, and her body was completely reduced to a weapon controlled by the Gardener to unleash Eden's wrath!
Xu Shuangyao suddenly stood up from the ground with an extremely stiff, puppet-like posture! Her arms were raised straight up as if they had no joints, her fingers spread out, pointing at the crimson mechanical group that was madly pouring in from the left and establishing an outpost!
Buzz——!!!
With her body at its center, the remaining land of Eden roared with a dull roar! Countless massive roots, gleaming with emerald green lightning, like the awakened tentacles of a dormant earth leyline giant, instantly broke through the charred earth. With a terrifying force that tore through space, they fiercely stabbed at the crimson mechanical tentacles in the air! These roots were no longer the pure life form they had before. Instead, they were stained by the gardener's rage and the power forcibly extracted, emerald green, a dark gold hue imbued with destructive energy. Emerald green electric snakes, powerful enough to melt through alloys, pulsed on their surfaces!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A piercing crash and the crack of energy annihilation merged into one! The scarlet mechanical tentacles, caught off guard, were savagely struck by this sudden, violent attack from beneath the earth! The tough armor pierced and entangled by the emerald green lightning roots, causing a sharp, twisting sound. The electric snakes frantically seared the metal surface! Several thinner tentacles were directly pierced and torn apart, falling in flames! The scarlet mechanical group's formation was instantly disrupted!
Xu Shuangyao stiffly turned her neck, her pupils burning with emerald green flames fixed on the filthy roots of the mother tree on her right, which were frantically devouring the forest and winding towards her! She opened her mouth, and a cold, emotionless, mechanically synthesized syllable burst out:
"Purification!"
Buzz!
The remaining, uncorrupted, glowing grass beneath her feet instantly lit up with a blinding emerald green light! The light, like a living plague, spread rapidly across the earth! Wherever it passed, the roots of the mother trees, which were greedily devouring and releasing foul energy, felt as if they had been doused in strong acid. The dark cuticles covered them with a sizzling corrosion sound, quickly turning gray and peeling off! The dark green pus within the roots, illuminated by the emerald green light, seethed and evaporated like boiling water! The roots of the mother trees uttered a painful hiss, like billions of insects being crushed to death, and frantically contracted and retreated!
