One of the mechanical guards suddenly accelerated, thrusting its spear straight at Lin Yue's face. In the nick of time, the shadowy figure of a silver-armored warrior emerged from the gemstone, raising its hand to grasp the spearhead. The shadow instantly disintegrated, but in the moment it had gained, Lin Yue swung a silk thread, entwining the guard's joints and yanking it hard, knocking it to the ground. Lu Li seized the opportunity to inject the golden code into the guard's energy core, triggering a violent explosion.
The roar of the Entropic Shadow Colossus shook the corridor violently, and the second sealing chain snapped with a bang. The caged fragments of the Entropic Demon twisted wildly, and more black vines emerged from the furnace's core, entwining the remaining chains. Lin Yue's notebook's fragments suddenly combusted, and the ashes formed the battle hand gestures of the First Guardians in the air. She understood the message and tossed the silk thread into the air, weaving it into a vast web of light with the power of Lu Li and the calico cat.
"Reverse resonance!" the three shouted in unison. The optical network resonated with the energy conduits in the furnace's core, and the energy column connecting the gear-patterned conduits suddenly burst into a burst of blue light. But at the same time, the remaining five mechanical guards simultaneously raised their spears, their muzzles converging into a massive ball of entropic light. The moment the ball exploded, Lin Yue transformed the silk thread into a shield, the light of the seventeen-colored gems merging with the shield, barely withstanding the impact.
The calico cat's gear collar suddenly sounded an alarm: "The Entropy Shadow Colossus is absorbing narrative energy from other universes! The mechanical city of the steampunk universe... is disappearing!" Lin Yue's heart was shocked. She saw a picture of the steampunk universe flashing in the void - the huge gear city was growing in reverse, and all the mechanical devices turned into nutrients for the black vines.
"We can't let it succeed!" Lu Li's golden code whirred frantically. "I'll decode the conduit code, the calico cat will disrupt the guards, and Lin Yue..." His words were interrupted by a sudden rift in spacetime. The Entropy Colossus's mechanical hand extended from the rift, grasping the sealing chain inscribed with magical runes. The instant the chain snapped, the caged Entropy Demon fragments screamed, and the energy in the furnace's core began to flow in reverse.
Lin Yue felt the thread of time itself being tugged at, and the light of the seventeen-colored gems dimmed. Suddenly, she remembered the last words of the silver-armored leader and placed her hand on the gems: "Empathizer of the multiverse... lend me strength!" Mechanics in the steampunk universe tossed their gear hearts into furnaces, programmers in the cyberworld constructed firewalls with code, and magicians in the magical civilization chanted ancient spells.
These forces flowed through the threads into Lin Yue's body, and her time threads transformed into a dazzling galaxy, directly entangling the Entropy Colossus's arms. Lu Li seized the opportunity to inject the golden code into the gear conduit. The calico cat leaped onto the top of the energy column and used its gear collar to adjust the resonant frequency. When the three forces perfectly aligned, the furnace core emitted a deafening roar, and twelve energy conduits illuminated simultaneously.
The Entropy Shadow Colossus roared in frustration, its mechanical body disintegrating, countless cracks appearing on its purple crystal surface. But at this moment, the fragments of the Entropy Demon within its cage suddenly merged, transforming into a massive black vortex. Countless tentacles extended from the vortex, directly destroying the three sealing chains. Lin Yue, watching the Entropy Demon nearing full awakening, channeled his last bit of strength into the thread: "It's not over yet... We can definitely..."
A cold electronic synthesized voice echoed from the vortex: "A tiny insect, you think you can defy the end of the universe?" The tentacles suddenly accelerated, sweeping towards the three of them. In the nick of time, the guardian hearts on the wall simultaneously exploded, releasing a silver light that transformed into a massive lightsaber. As the lightsaber slashed towards the entropic vortex, Lin Yue saw the anti-entropy core deep within the furnace, pulsing with seventeen colors of light...
