“Open it for me…!!!”
Hiss——!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like tearing thick leather soaked in blood!
Pei Du's arms, ablaze with dark gold flames, erupted with the ultimate power of the End Star Core! The spatial barrier at the wormhole entrance, which the Reaper had forcibly interfered with and attempted to close, was forcibly stretched and fixed by his extremely brutal tearing! Far from closing, the entrance was forcibly expanded! The spatial cracks at the edge were like burning wounds, flowing with dark golden flames of destruction!
"Come in...and die!"
A cold voice, like a summons, pierced the wormhole and resounded in the minds of all the survivors in the Gaia star field! Pei Du, like a demon controlling the gates of hell, used himself as an anchor to forcibly open the Reapers' retreat! Forcing them to fight to the death or be torn apart by the turbulent space currents!
Deep within the wormhole, the Reaper fleet fell into a momentary state of logical confusion. Their retreat route was forcibly blocked, and ahead lay an incomprehensible, terrifying existence, like a demon...
However, just as the battlefield fell into a brief and strange stalemate—
Buzz!!!
An extremely obscure spatial fluctuation, yet filled with deadly malice, suddenly appeared in the high orbit of Gaia Star, next to the suspended crystal of the furnace debris that had become dim due to the collapse of the matrix - it tore apart!
A figure wearing a dark golden energy robe, like a long-lurking poisonous snake, stepped out from the space crack!
The commander of the Gravekeeper Fleet! That shadowy figure beneath his hood! He hadn't fled with the remnants of his troops, but had been lurking at the edge of the battlefield, waiting for this fatal opportunity!
In his hands covered with dark gold armor, he was tightly holding the half of the ancient covenant stele fragment that he had transferred and preserved in advance by special means when Pei Du destroyed the transport ship!
On the surface of the stone tablet fragment, the thorn mark was now emitting an ominous, deep red, almost black, faint starlight!
"Desecrate creation... steal power... deserve... final purification!" The commander's voice, like the grinding of metal, was filled with a twisted frenzy and cold murderous intent! He suddenly pressed the star-emitting stone fragment in his hand against the dim furnace debris crystal! The deep red, almost black starlight on the stone fragment instantly poured into the crystal as if it were alive!
Buzz——!!!
The furnace's wreckage, already cracked and dormant from overload, was stimulated by the starlight from the stele fragments, as if injected with a highly toxic dose of adrenaline. It instantly erupted with an unprecedented, chaotic, and violent dark red light! A terrifying energy storm, a blend of the furnace's destructive essence, the stele's ancient will, and the icy malevolence injected by the gravekeeper commander, erupted with a bang from the crystal!
This storm did not attack the Reapers in the wormhole, but turned into a dark red beam of destructive light that was condensed to the extreme, tearing through space, and its target was directly aimed at Pei Du, who was forcibly supporting the space at the entrance of the wormhole with his back to Gaia Star!
Insidious! Deadly! The timing is impeccable!
"Pei Du! Behind me!" Deep in the Earth's core, beside the giant golden roots, the last remaining trace of Xu Shuangyao's consciousness (reliant on the star core) after burning out completely, issued a heartbreaking warning! The power of the entire earth shield tried to intercept it, but it was easily penetrated by the dark red beam of light, the power of the ancient rules derived from the stone tablet!
Pei Du's burning dark golden eyes suddenly turned back!
The dark red beam of destruction, carrying the gravekeeper's accumulated resentment and the stone tablet's icy will, was now within reach! The principles contained within the beam were so high-level that they even triggered a cold resonance deep within the "blood of the star core" within his chest! A deadly sense of threat instantly enveloped him!
There's no way to avoid it! Even if he blocks it... he might not be able to completely stop it! If he turns around and defends with all his might, the wormhole entrance will inevitably collapse, giving the Reaper fleet a chance to breathe or even escape!
In a flash!
A flash of cold determination flashed across Pei Du's burning eyes! He didn't turn around! His arms, supporting the wormhole entrance, remained motionless! He simply poured the final power of the End Star Core into the defenses on his back!
At the same time, within the dark golden flames of his burning left eye, a pinprick of pure, stardust-like order suddenly lit up! A cold, commanding thought, seemingly composed of the very laws of the universe, blended with Pei Du's own will, disregarded spatial distance and fiercely penetrated the core of the half-shard of the stone tablet in the gravekeeper commander's hand!
"In the name of Stardust... with the brand of thorns... judge... the oathbreaker!"
boom--!!!
The fragment of the stone tablet, pressed against the furnace crystal and madly pumping out destructive energy, had its thorny marks carved into its surface. The moment it received Pei Du's judgment, which contained the will of the stardust's essence—the crimson, almost black starlight suddenly froze! Then, like an ice cube dropped into boiling lava, it instantly boiled and backfired!
“No——!!!” For the first time, the shadow under the hood of the gravekeeper commander let out a terrified, inhuman scream!
The part of his palm, covered in dark gold armor, that came into contact with the fragments of the stone tablet was instantly devoured by the seething, backlashing starlight! The dark gold armor peeled and melted like rotting bark! The skin, muscles, and bones of his palm melted like a candle under the burning crimson, almost black starlight! The starlight, like greedy, living roots, spread wildly upward along his arm! Wherever it passed, flesh and blood were transformed and devoured, turning into a dark brown, constantly wriggling, growing wooden structure!
"Ugh, ahhhh!" The commander screamed miserably, trying to shake off the fragments of the stone tablet, only to find that they clung to his wood-turning arm like maggots! Deep red, nearly black, starlight streamed down his wood-turning arm, instantly pouring into his torso, neck, and head!
