Within the deep vortex of the chasm, the Chaos Colossus, like a giant beast slumbering for millennia, slowly awakened. Its massive form gradually emerged from the darkness, each piece of debris emitting a chilling aura.
These debris were not ordinary metal, but rather flowing with a corrosive dark green liquid. This liquid seemed to have life, slowly flowing across the surface of the colossus, corroding everything around it.
The Colossus's mechanical arms are composed of the remains of steampunk gears, which creak as they mesh with each other, as if telling of their former glory. Meanwhile, the broken staffs of the magical world have been transformed into bone spurs on the Colossus, sharp and pointed, revealing a mysterious power.
At the Colossus's joints, the twisted codes of Cybertron flickered continuously, interwoven into an intricate pattern like the stars in the night sky. They were the nerve centers of the Colossus, controlling its every movement.
However, the most terrifying thing was the crystal of the origin of chaos embedded in the colossus's chest. This crystal, like the heart of the universe, pulsated violently, releasing powerful energy. It twisted the surrounding space and time into a swirling abyss, as if to devour everything.
"Not good! It's absorbing the energy fluctuations of all the artifacts!" Lu Li's golden armor blared a shrill alarm, and six afterimages flickered violently due to data overload. His golden code frantically calculated in the void, trying to analyze the colossus's weaknesses, but found that the opponent's structure was constantly reorganizing, and each attack triggered a new defense mechanism. The calico cat's gear collar reorganized into a defensive form. The blue light seeping from the gears formed a prism shield around them, barely withstanding the space-time storm unleashed by the colossus's wave.
Lin Yue tightly grasped the Star Scepter and the Dragon Codex. The light of the seventeen-colored gems resonated with the artifacts, outlining an ancient purification array in the void. But then the Chaos Colossus suddenly opened its mouth, unleashing a black beam of light that carried the wails of countless civilizations, shattering the shield. The calico cat was blown away by the blast, its gear collar cracking in several places. Lu Li's golden code continuously disintegrated in the beam of light, and six afterimages were nearly completely obliterated.
"This won't work!" Lin Yue's thread of time automatically entwined itself around the artifact, and her consciousness was suddenly drawn into a deep memory. In the scene, the first generation of Guardians injected their souls into the artifact, sealing the source of chaos at the cost of their lives. Each Guardian's eyes burned with unwavering faith, a dedication to the survival of civilization and the maintenance of cosmic balance. "So the artifact's true power lies in the Guardians' obsession!" Her voice trembled with realization.
Lin Yue pierced her palm with the original thread of time, and blood flowed along the thread into the Star Scepter. The star tracks on the staff suddenly came alive, wrapping around her arm. The meteorite core erupted with warm light. The dragon bone pages of the Dragon Codex automatically opened, and the ancient incantation wrapped around her ankle like a golden chain. The seventeen-colored gem trembled violently against her chest, and the liquid starlight seeping from all the cracks gathered into a cocoon of light, enveloping her.
"Lin Yue! What are you doing?!" Lu Li's golden code attempted to break through the cocoon, but was blocked by a gentle yet firm force. The calico cat's geared collar resonated with the cocoon, and it suddenly understood: "She is... inheriting the Guardian's will!" Inside the cocoon, Lin Yue's consciousness merged with the lingering memories of the original Guardians. She witnessed the struggle between chaos and order at the birth of the universe, the cycle of civilization's rise and fall, and even the apocalyptic vision after the balance was broken.
The Chaos Colossus seemed to sense the threat, and all its limbs launched an attack simultaneously. The moment its mechanical arm slammed down, Lu Li compressed the golden code into a shield, while the six afterimages fought to hold it in place. The calico cat leaped onto the Colossus's mechanical legs, its gear collar spinning at high speed, attempting to stem the flow of chaotic energy through the joints. But the Origin Crystal in the Colossus's chest suddenly expanded, unleashing a wave of energy that sent the two flying dozens of meters back.
At that moment, the cocoon of light exploded, and Lin Yue's figure floated in the air. Her hair ignited with seventeen colors of light, and the thread of time transformed into a galaxy-like band of light that wrapped around her body. The Star Scepter in her hand and the Dragon Codex merged into a giant blade emitting a sacred aura. "In the name of the Guardian, purify the chaos!" Her voice was no longer the words of one person, but the resonance of countless souls.
The moment the giant blade swung, all of space and time froze. Amidst the intertwined light of galactic power and dragon spells, the fragments of consciousness from the consumed civilization began to awaken. The mechanical heart of the steampunk universe beat again, the floating islands of the magical world reassembled in the light, and the code of Cybertron came to life again. The Chaos Colossus roared in despair, its body disintegrating in the purifying light, each fragment transforming into a healing light, drifting across the universe.
However, at the last moment, the Chaos Origin Crystal unleashed a powerful counterattack. The crystal shattered, releasing not destructive energy but the despair and resentment of countless civilizations wiped out. These negative emotions coalesced into a black vortex in the air, swallowing up all the purifying light. Lin Yue's light band shattered inch by inch in the vortex, new cracks appeared in the seventeen-colored gem, and her consciousness faltered in this darkness.
"I can't give up..." Her mind flashed back to images of fighting alongside Lu Li and the calico cat, along with fond memories of the Emerald Dream universe. Lin Yue gritted her teeth, channeling her final strength into the giant blade. Seeing this, Lu Li immediately transformed the golden code into a data stream. The calico cat's gear collar completely disintegrated, transforming into countless gears that flew towards the giant blade, reorganizing into sharp teeth.
When the three's power fully merged, the giant blade shone with a light that transcended time and space. This light embodied not only the power of order, but also the cherishment of life and the unwavering commitment to hope. The moment the light pierced the black vortex, the crystals of Chaos' origin wailed, and all despair and resentment were purified into the purest energy within the light. As the vortex dissipated, the Chaos Colossus completely disintegrated, and the entropy center that balanced the universe regained its stability.
However, this thrilling battle had not yet truly come to an end. At the bottom of the Entropy Center, the drop of chaotic black liquid that had sparked all this was slowly wriggling, as if possessed of life. Ripples continuously appeared on its surface, as if mocking the participants in this battle.
What was terrifying was that a strange smile gradually emerged from the surface of the chaotic black liquid. That smile seemed to be both mocking and complacent, revealing a chilling malice.
At the same time, in an unknown corner of the multiverse, a pair of malicious eyes were watching the end of this battle through the cracks in time and space. The owner of these eyes seemed to have a special interest in this battle, or perhaps this battle itself was part of his careful planning.
Who is the owner of these eyes? And why is he so concerned about this battle? Only time will reveal the answers to these questions. But what is certain is that hidden behind these eyes is an extremely dangerous existence...
