Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 690 Cross-Dimensional Rescue and the Mystery of the Primordial Chaos's Doppelganger (1)

On the spatial platform in the dimensional rift, the devouring energy pillar of the eroding entity, like a giant gray-black python, continuously rammed against the platform's runic protective layer.

The pale blue light of the protective layer flickered violently, and its surface was covered with spiderweb-like cracks. The energy injected by the Space Guardian was being consumed at a visible rate, and the outline of the silver figure began to become transparent.

"The distress signal has broken through the boundary of the dimensional rift! Support from the interdimensional alliance is expected to arrive in ten minutes!"

The merged entity stared intently at the signals transmitted by the fragments, a glimmer of hope igniting within it. "Space Guardian, hold on for another ten minutes! We'll definitely get rescue!"

The guardian's consciousness, though weary, remained steadfast:

"I will do my best, but the energy devoured by the eroding body is mixed with 'dimensional tearing energy,' which is one of the most dangerous energies in the dimensional rifts. The protective layer can only hold out for five more minutes at most!"

It suddenly poured all its remaining energy into the rune core in the center of the platform, and the rune burst out with a strong silver light, temporarily repelling the energy-devouring pillar.

"This is a 'Dimensional Imprisonment Array,' which can trap the eroding entity for three minutes. Quickly use the energy from the fragments to reinforce the protective layer and buy more time!"

The fusion entity and the gatekeeper acted immediately, fusing the pale blue energy of the fragments with their remaining energy and injecting it into the cracks in the protective layer.

The protective layer's light stabilized again, but it still couldn't withstand the subsequent attacks from the eroding entity—the light of the dimensional confinement array dimmed rapidly, and the three-minute time limit was about to expire.

"Two minutes left! Why haven't the cross-dimensional alliance's reinforcements arrived yet?"

The Gatekeeper's Absolute End Key had completely dimmed, its energy exhausted. He could only use the energy of his own consciousness light stream to resist the occasional leaks of devouring energy, and the cracks on the surface of the light stream were increasing.

Just as the dimensional confinement array was about to shatter, a huge pale blue spatial rift suddenly appeared in the void between dimensions. Intense cross-dimensional energy surged out of the rift, forming a torrent of energy that struck the back of the eroding body.

The eroded entity let out a painful roar, the energy pillar it devoured instantly dissipated, and its body was blasted away by the energy torrent.

"The cross-dimensional alliance's support has arrived!"

A look of wild joy flashed in the eyes of the merged entity. She recognized the fluctuations of the energy torrent—it was the energy fluctuations of the interdimensional messenger Kong, only several times stronger than before.

Within the rift, Kong's figure gradually became clearer. His light particle form was much more solid than before, and he was surrounded by three interdimensional messengers of the same form, clearly a rescue team sent by the Alliance.

"Empty No. 734, ordered to lead the rescue team to the scene!"

Kong's voice carried an air of authority. He waved his hand, releasing transdimensional energy to trap the eroding entity once more. "Are you all alright? Are the fragments safe?"

"We're safe, and the debris is safe too!"

The fused entity lifted the fragment, and the fragment's pale blue light resonated with the energy of the void.

"But the energy of the eroding entity is mixed with dimensional tearing energy, and it can track us to the dimensional rift, so it's clear that someone is manipulating it from behind the scenes!"

The morphology of the empty light particles fluctuated violently, clearly indicating that they already knew about this:

"On our way here, we intercepted the consciousness signal sent by the manipulator to the corrupted entity. The signal mentioned the 'resurrection plan of the first Chaos Lord,' which is why we must take you back to the Interdimensional Alliance headquarters immediately."

We have important information to share with you regarding the first Lord of Chaos.

Three interdimensional messengers stepped forward, releasing interdimensional energy to construct a stable spatial teleportation channel:

"The eroded entity has been temporarily trapped. The teleportation channel can be maintained for ten minutes. We must leave as soon as possible, otherwise the controller will send even stronger pursuers."

Without hesitation, the fusion entity and the gatekeeper followed Kong into the teleportation channel.

Inside the passage, pale blue transdimensional energy enveloped them, instantly dispelling their previous fatigue, and the damage to their consciousness light streams gradually repaired under the nourishment of the energy.

Kong transmitted a message to them, which was the content of the manipulator's signal intercepted by the Alliance.

The signal detailed the manipulator's plan to use the consciousness of the first Chaos Lord sealed within the Chaos Stone, combined with the energy of the cross-dimensional balancing core fragments, to revive the first Chaos Lord.

"Who exactly is the manipulator? Why is it able to control the remnants of the consciousness of the Corrupted Being and the Lord of Chaos?"

The merged entity was filled with questions, which were the key to unraveling all the mysteries.

Kong remained silent for a moment, seemingly hesitant about whether to reveal the secret:

"The true identity of the manipulator is an avatar of the first Chaos Lord."

When the first Lord of Chaos was sealed away, in order to prevent his consciousness from completely dissipating, he split off a part of his consciousness to form an avatar, which was hidden in the deepest part of the Dark Source Rift, waiting for the opportunity to be resurrected.

The eroded entity is a 'resurrection tool' it cultivates using devouring energy and annihilating energy.

Both the merged entity and the gatekeeper were shocked; they had never imagined that the controller had such a close connection with the first Lord of Chaos.

The gatekeeper immediately pressed on, "Is the original consciousness of the first Chaos Lord sealed within that Chaos Stone? And who was the Chaos Lord we encountered before?"

"The Chaos Stone seals the 'core consciousness' of the first Chaos Lord, which is also the key to his resurrection."

Kong continued to explain, "The Chaos Lord you encountered before was a 'consciousness projection' created by the clone of the First Chaos Lord. Its strength was only one-tenth of the original body. Its purpose was to distract you and make you ignore the clone's true conspiracy."

The remnants of the Chaos Lord's consciousness were also 'bait' deliberately left behind by his avatar to lure you into the trap he set.

The exit of the teleportation channel gradually appeared, beyond which lay a dazzling interdimensional space, where countless streams of energy of different colors intertwined in the void, forming a beautiful "dimensional galaxy".

This is the "Balance Hub," the headquarters of the cross-dimensional alliance.

At the center of the balance hub, a huge pale blue crystal floats, which is the other half of the complete cross-dimensional balance core!

"That's the second fragment of the cross-dimensional balance core!"

A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the merged entity; she hadn't expected the second fragment to be at the Alliance headquarters.

"As long as we collect both fragments, we can build an anti-devouring barrier and stop the resurrection plan of the first Lord of Chaos!"

Kong shook his head, his light particles carrying a solemn expression: "It's not that simple."

Although the second fragment is in our hands, its energy resonates with the core consciousness of the first Chaos Lord. Once it merges with the fragment in your hands, it will accelerate the awakening of the core consciousness and become a 'catalyst' for resurrection.

The true purpose of the clone is to make us actively merge the two fragments, helping it complete the resurrection ritual.

The combined entity and the gatekeeper's spirits plummeted. The fragment they had painstakingly found turned out to be the catalyst for resurrection, which was undoubtedly a huge blow.

The gatekeeper pressed on, unwilling to give up: "Isn't there any other way? We can't just stand by and watch the First Lord of Chaos be resurrected and rule all dimensions!"

"There is a way, but it will come at a huge cost."

Kong led them to the "Dimensional Archives" of the Balance Hub, where the historical records of all dimensions and the secrets of the laws of balance are preserved.

“We discovered an ancient ‘sealing agreement’ in the archives, which states that to completely seal the core consciousness of the first Chaos Lord, it is necessary to use ‘cross-dimensional sacrificial energy’.”

This energy requires a conscious being with a 'pure, balanced will' to bind their own consciousness to the core consciousness of the Chaos Stone, remaining forever dormant within the stone, suppressing the awakening of the core consciousness with their own will.
