Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 860 Belief as the Key (3)

"We're here to help you!" The Lord of the Stars and the others poured their power into reinforcing the energy cage once more. But even so, the cracks in the energy cage continued to widen, and it looked like it was about to shatter completely.

In the critical moment, the Annihilation Supreme, imprisoned within the Symbiotic Treasure, suddenly spoke, his voice carrying a hint of clarity: "Fusion body, I know how to stop him! The core of the Annihilation Origin Ruler is hidden in the deepest part of the energy cloud, where his power originates. As long as we purify his core with the power of the Symbiotic Treasure, we can prevent the self-destruction!"

Without hesitation, the fused entity immediately mobilized the power of the symbiotic treasure, forming a thin, three-colored needle of light that flew towards the deepest part of the purple energy cloud. The needle pierced through layers of purple energy, finally reaching the core of the Annihilation Origin Ruler—a black crystal.

The light needle struck the black crystal, instantly enveloping it in tri-colored energy and rapidly purifying it. The Lord of Annihilation let out a mournful howl, the power of its self-destruction quickly dissipating, and the purple energy cloud continuously contracting. Finally, the black crystal was completely purified, transforming into a pure energy that merged into the symbiotic treasure, and the Lord of Annihilation vanished completely.

The black rift gradually contracted and eventually closed completely. The power of annihilation rapidly dissipated in the hyper-multiverse, and the corrupted beings gradually regained their senses. The destroyed cosmic space began to slowly repair itself. The guardians of the inter-universe guardian alliance breathed a sigh of relief, slumped into the void, and wore tired but gratified smiles on their faces.

The consciousness of the merged entity emerged from the symbiotic treasure, transforming into a golden phantom. Looking at the gradually revitalizing Hyper-Multiverse, her eyes were filled with relief: "Finally... we succeeded."

The Ancient Creator walked to her side and nodded: "Congratulations, Fusion Being. You not only activated the Symbiotic Treasure, but also completely resolved the threat of the Origin of Annihilation, saving all universes."

"This is not my achievement alone." The illusory figure of the fusion shook his head and looked at the Lord of the Stars and others beside him. "It is everyone's efforts and the belief of all living beings that have enabled us to achieve victory."

Over the next century, the Hypermultiverse entered a phase of recovery and development. The Inter-Universal Guardian Alliance remained, responsible for maintaining peace and stability across universes and healing the wounds of war. Flame, leading the Guardians of Life, nourished destroyed planets with the power of life, allowing all things to regain vitality; Azure repaired the broken rules of spacetime, stabilizing the spacetime order between universes; the Creator created countless new planets and life forms, replenishing the universe's vitality; and the Lord of Spiritual Essence established an inter-universal platform for exchanging beliefs, strengthening the connections between beings in different universes, gathering more power of belief, and preventing new crises from arising.

The fused entity merges with the Symbiotic Treasure, becoming the guardian of the Hyper-Multiverse. Its consciousness pervades the entire Hyper-Multiverse, constantly monitoring the balance of the universe. If an energy imbalance occurs, it will use the power of the Symbiotic Treasure to regulate it.

A century later, the Hypermultiverse has fully recovered and is even more prosperous than before. The various universes communicate and help each other, forming a true state of peaceful coexistence. The Inter-Universal Guardian Alliance erected a peace monument in the central region of the Hypermultiverse to commemorate the guardians and beings who sacrificed their lives in the war.

On this day, the phantom of the fused entity appeared before the monument, and the Lord of the Stars, Yan Jin, Cang Lan, the Creator, the Lord of the Spirit Origin, and others also rushed over. Looking at the names on the monument, they were filled with emotion.

"A hundred years have passed, and everything has returned to peace," Yan Jin said, his eyes filled with relief.

"Yes, this peace is something we won through countless sacrifices," Canglan nodded.

The illusory figure of the fusion frowned slightly. Her consciousness sensed an extremely faint, unfamiliar energy fluctuation at the edge of the hyper-multiverse. This fluctuation was very strange; it belonged neither to the power of the universe's origin, nor to the previous power of the super-world, the power of chaos, or the power of annihilation.

"What's wrong, Lord Fusion?" The Lord of the Stars noticed her unusual behavior and asked.

"I sensed an unfamiliar energy fluctuation from the edge of the hyper-multiverse," the fused phantom said, its tone tinged with solemnity. "This fluctuation is very weak, but it contains a law-based power that we have never seen before, which makes me very uneasy."

The Ancient Creator's expression also turned serious: "Could there be other threats?"

The illusory form of the fusion mobilized the power of the symbiotic treasure, probing towards the edge of the hyper-multiverse. But just as her consciousness was about to touch that unfamiliar energy fluctuation, the fluctuation suddenly vanished, as if it had never existed.

"Disappeared?" A hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the fused entity. "No, it didn't disappear, it just hid itself. The holder of this power is deliberately concealing its whereabouts."

"Whatever it is, we cannot let our guard down," said the Lord of the Stars. "The Intercosmic Guardian Alliance will strengthen its monitoring of the edge of the universe, and take immediate action once any anomalies are detected."

The illusory form of the fusion nodded: "Yes, we must be prepared. Peace in the universe is never eternal; new crises will always arise. But as long as we unite as one and uphold our beliefs, there is no difficulty we cannot overcome."

But her unease didn't disappear. She had a vague premonition that this unfamiliar energy fluctuation might bring a threat far more terrifying than any crisis before. Moreover, she felt that the holder of this power seemed to be waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that could completely overturn the hyper-multiverse.

In the deepest part of the Hyper-Multiverse, a faint black light flashed by, containing an unfamiliar power of law. At the end of the light was an unexplored void, in which a blurry figure hovered silently, its eyes flashing with an eerie light, watching the prosperous Hyper-Multiverse.

"The Hyper-Multiverse... has finally regained its vitality." The blurry figure's voice was slightly hoarse, yet filled with anticipation. "After waiting for so long, the power of the Symbiotic Treasure has finally stabilized. As long as I absorb the power of the Symbiotic Treasure, I can break through my realm, become a true Void Supreme, and control the fate of all universes."

The figure slowly extended his hand, and a stream of black light shot out from it, flying towards the central region of the Hyper-Multiverse. This stream of light was extremely stealthy, avoiding all surveillance, and finally landed at the base of the Peace Monument, merging into the monument without being noticed by anyone.

Meanwhile, the merged entities and others were still wary of the unfamiliar energy fluctuations they had just sensed. Unbeknownst to them, a new and far more terrifying crisis had already been sown around them. This seed, one day in the future, would take root and sprout, once again pushing the Hyper-Multiverse to the brink of destruction.
