The icy declaration, like the death knell of the universe, froze the last vestiges of life on Dawn Star. Xu Shuangyao hovered before a massive gate swirling with purple chaos, tightly entangled in sticky, dark purple chains, her icy blue hair dancing wildly in the chaotic energy currents. The eyes that once shone with the starlight of their new home were now shrouded in an inorganic coldness, like two soulless sapphires set in a perfect face. In her raised left palm, a destructive vortex of dark purple energy gathered, locking onto Dawn Harbor, engulfed in flames and despair below.
"Execute the final order: Reset civilization to zero."
The synthesized sound of metallic friction, without any emotion, resounded throughout the ruined square, piercing through the desperate cries of the survivors and crushing all remaining hope.
“Nooo ...
Sizzle——!
A piercing annihilation sound exploded! Where the dark gold claws collided with the dark purple chain, a dazzling arc of light erupted! The chain's surface was burned black, and it emitted a hissing sound like a wounded creature! However, the chain was incredibly tough, not only did it not tear, but it erupted with even greater recoil force! The terrifying force slammed into Lin Mo's body along the crystal arm!
"Puff!" Lin Mo felt like he was struck by a heavy hammer, spitting out a mouthful of blood mingled with dark gold energy. His body was flung backward like a kite with its string cut, slamming heavily onto the already cracked ruins of the platform! The crystallized area on his chest was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and the dark gold light flickered violently, flickering unsteadily! The pollution was like a maggot on his tarsal bones, frantically eroding his remaining will with the recoil force. The crimson light in his right eye, with a cold mockery, once again took the upper hand:
(Flashing Scarlet): "Target... Locked... Cleared... Top Priority!"
Lin Mo struggled to get up, but a teeth-grinding "crack" rang out from his crystallized left arm. A sharp crystal on his forearm broke and fell off! The combined impact of intense pain and contamination made his vision blacken. His consciousness was like a lone boat struggling in a raging sea, ready to be completely submerged at any moment.
"Lord Lin Mo!"
"Stop her! Stop her now!"
In the ruins below, those who had managed to escape the first wave of chaos cried out in despair. Some tried to raise their remaining energy weapons and aim them at Xu Shuangyao in the sky, but the weapon systems had already failed in the chaotic energy field.
Dr. Owen watched the scene unfold through a cracked screen within the swaying Cradle monitoring center. Tears streamed down his face, his age-spotted hands digging into the console's hard alloy casing, blood trickling from his fingers. "Double keys... Door... Devour..." Pei Du's final warning echoed wildly in his mind. He swooped over a separate control console connected to the Star Dome Monument's deep-scan array, his withered fingers pounding away at the virtual keyboard at breakneck speed, retrieving all the anomalous data streams pertaining to the "Door" from the monument's anchor point.
"Doctor! Dawn's core energy readings have broken critical point! The dark purple energy is frantically draining the planet's core energy! Estimated... estimated to reach the detonation threshold in three minutes!" The monitor screamed with tears in his eyes. The dark purple light representing Dawn's core on the screen was like a malignant tumor, greedily devouring the planet's vitality, and its volume expanded wildly! The earthquakes throughout Dawn Harbor became more intense. Huge cracks spread across the city like the mouth of an abyss, devouring buildings and lives.
Time! There is no time!
"Analyze… analyze the structure of the 'gate'! The energy source! Any… any weakness!" Owen roared, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the screen scanning the massive gate swirling with purple chaos. Countless dizzyingly complex energy circuits and spatial folds whirled across the screen.
Just when Lin Mo's consciousness was about to be completely swallowed by the pollution and the scarlet in his right eye was about to completely dominate -
Buzz!
Deep within the core of the seething, chaotic dark-gold light in his left eye, a faint, yet strangely stable, silver-white light suddenly lit up, like a star piercing the mists of eternal night! This light wasn't Pei Du's dark-gold embers, nor was it a polluted, dark purple. Instead, it was a more ancient, more restrained silver-white that seemed to embody the original order of the universe!
As the silver-white light lit up, a cool stream of will, like the whisper of the starry sky itself, forcibly pierced through the polluted noise and the coldness of the scarlet command, and directly injected into Lin Mo's consciousness core, which was on the verge of collapse:
"The anchor... is not broken..."
"The Starry Sky Seed...still exists..."
"The Dawn Core...is not the end..."
"Swallow... counterattack... need... connection..."
This will was extremely weak and fragmented, yet it carried an undeniable sense of order, rooted in the very foundations of all things! It was Pei Du! No, not just Pei Du! This will was mingled with a faint trace of the First Flame, the first generation of fire, mingled with sadness and protection! It was Pei Du, when he completely merged into the core of the Starry Sky, using himself as a vessel, forcibly preserving a trace of the previous fire's uncontaminated and eroded, most fundamental imprint of order! Buried deep within the Starry Sky's core, it was the final safeguard against the "Seed of Entropy"!
This refreshing flow of order was like a drop of water thrown into boiling oil, instantly triggering a violent reaction in Lin Mo's chaotic consciousness! The scarlet light in his right eye was forcibly suppressed for a moment! Lin Mo's submerged self-consciousness, as if grasping a life-saving straw, suddenly emerged from the polluted quagmire!
