Carrying the mechanical behemoth's crystal core, Su Yao and her group returned to the Alliance base. In the base's core research lab, everyone engaged in an in-depth discussion about the crystal core. Su Yao used the system to analyze the core in detail, discovering its internal energy structure was extremely complex. She believed that successfully fusing with this energy might allow ability users to break through their current ability level limitations.
Su Yao decided to be the first to attempt to fuse with the crystal core's energy. She entered a specially designed secret chamber and, with the assistance of her parents and top researchers from the alliance, began the perilous fusion process. The powerful energy released by the crystal core surged like a raging torrent, constantly impacting Su Yao's supernatural ability system. She gritted her teeth, relying on her unwavering will and the system's precise guidance to gradually tame this energy.
After several hours of arduous effort, Su Yao successfully fused with the crystal core energy. Her superpowers instantly underwent a qualitative leap: her ice-type superpower could create an absolute zero ice domain, instantly freezing everything within it; her mental-type superpower could achieve remote mind control, manipulating zombies and mutated creatures to fight each other; and her wind and fire-type superpowers merged into the world-destroying "Flame Storm," powerful enough to destroy a small mountain.
With the help of researchers, Su Yao's parents also cultivated using the derived energy from crystal core energy, and their superpowers also improved significantly. Her father's power shield is not only indestructible, but can also reflect enemy attacks and deal double damage to them; her mother's healing superpower has evolved into "Life Reversal", which can instantly restore the life of the critically injured and dying, and can even restore some slightly mutated creatures to their normal form.
However, just as everyone was still immersed in the joy of their enhanced abilities, the system issued an alarm. In the distant sky, a huge dark rift appeared, from which powerful dark energy continuously poured out. This energy was rapidly eroding the surrounding space, and wherever it went, light disappeared and life was extinguished.
"This is an unprecedented crisis, and we must act immediately!" Su Yao said with a solemn expression.
They quickly assembled a powerful expeditionary force, aboard specially modified super-powered flying vehicles, and headed towards the Dark Rift. During their flight, they encountered various terrifying creatures born from the aura of darkness. These creatures resembled demons, possessed immense dark power, and could unleash black rays that corroded souls.
Su Yao stood at the bow of the spacecraft, her hands forming a hand seal as she unleashed her ice-based abilities, conjuring a massive ice shield in front of the spacecraft to block the attacks of the black light. Her father, meanwhile, set up a power shield around the spacecraft to ensure that the dark creatures couldn't get close. Inside the spacecraft, her mother used her healing abilities to treat the injured team members and buff everyone with various debuffs.
As they approached the dark rift, a powerful suction force rushed towards them, nearly pulling the aircraft into it. Su Yao acted decisively, using her wind-based abilities to stabilize the aircraft.
They disembarked from the aircraft and stood before the dark rift, sensing an aura of despair emanating from the abyss. Su Yao knew that to close the rift, they had to delve deeper, find the source of the dark power, and destroy it.
"Mom and Dad, this mission is extremely dangerous, but we have no way out," Su Yao said to her parents.
"Yaoyao, we're a family together, we're not afraid of anything." The father held Su Yao's hand firmly.
The mother smiled and nodded, "Yes, we'll face it together."
Thus, they stepped into the dark rift, embarking on a new journey filled with unknowns and dangers. This time, their fate was intertwined with that of the entire world. Their lives were uncertain, and only by forging ahead could they find a glimmer of hope in this apocalyptic world.
