Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 653 Mine Traps and the Hidden Power of Remnant Souls (3)

The gatekeeper shook his head, a smile appearing on his face: "It's alright. As long as we can destroy the fragments of the consciousness core, it's all worth it. Now that the mother nest has temporarily lost its control, we can take this opportunity to take away all the controlled entities and then completely destroy the nurturing device and the siphon energy mine."

Just as everyone was preparing to act, a stronger energy fluctuation suddenly came from the void. The entire purple nebula began to tremble violently, and deep within the nebula, a huge purple phantom slowly emerged—this phantom was ten times larger than the previous projection of the Mother Nest's consciousness, and was surrounded by black chaotic energy, clearly the "original consciousness projection" of the Mother Nest.

"You think you can win by destroying the fragments of my consciousness core?" The projection of the mother hive's true consciousness spoke with icy rage. "That's just one of my many fragments of consciousness, used to control the outer predators. My true consciousness core is hidden in the 'ultimate singularity' of the chaotic space; you'll never find it!"

Suddenly, a black energy ball condensed in the phantom's hand. Inside the energy ball, countless purple siphon energies spun rapidly, emanating an aura of destruction: "Now, I will make you and this mine completely dissipate into the chaotic space!"

The energy ball hurtled towards everyone, moving so fast that it was impossible to dodge.

The fused entity immediately released all its twin primal energies, constructing the strongest protective barrier; the guardian and gatekeeper also released their energy simultaneously, injecting it into the barrier.

But the power of the energy ball far exceeded their expectations; the barrier only lasted for three seconds before cracks began to appear.

"At this rate, we'll get hit by the energy balls!"

The voice of the remnant soul of the star core was filled with anxiety. It suddenly remembered something, "I know a way to resist chaotic energy! We remnant souls of consciousness who have been controlled by the Mother Nest all have a trace of chaotic energy remaining in our bodies. As long as we fuse these chaotic energies, we can form a 'chaotic protective layer' to resist the chaotic energy attacks of the Mother Nest!"

"Really? Try it quickly!" The guardian's voice was urgent. He immediately released a four-colored energy as a fusion carrier for chaotic energy.

The remnants of consciousness released the remaining chaotic energy within their bodies, injecting it into the four-colored energy—the golden four-colored energy was gradually dyed silver, and a huge chaotic protective layer quickly formed, blocking the way in front of everyone.

The moment the chaotic protective layer formed, the black energy sphere of the mother nest struck the protective layer—with a loud "boom," the entire purple nebula shook violently, and countless siphon energy crystals fell from the sky.

However, the Chaos Protection Layer firmly blocked the energy ball without showing a single crack.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Mother Nest's main consciousness projection, which then grew even angrier: "You can actually fuse with chaotic energy? Very well, then I will use even stronger power to completely crush you!"

Around the phantom, black chaotic energy began to rapidly converge, forming an energy sphere even larger than before—this energy sphere was powerful enough to destroy the entire purple nebula.

The guardians' expressions instantly turned grim—although the Chaos Protection Layer had blocked the first attack, it had also consumed a large amount of energy from the remnants of consciousness, making it unable to withstand the second attack.

We must evacuate immediately!

The guardian looked at the merged entity, "You, along with the low-dimensional consciousness that has regained its autonomy, returned to the core of the multiverse through the micro-space channel."

"I, the gatekeeper, and the remnants of consciousness will stay behind, using the chaotic protective layer to buy you as much time as possible to evacuate."

The merged entity immediately objected: "No! We're all leaving together! I can't let you stay and risk your lives any longer!"

"There's no time for arguments!" The Guardian's voice was resolute. "The Multidimensional Sphere needs these consciousnesses you brought back. They know many secrets of the Mother Nest and can help us formulate our next plan. We will find a way to evacuate, believe me!"

In the void, suddenly, a familiar signal of consciousness flashed like lightning. This signal came from the leader of the red light spots, filled with excitement and a hint of urgency.

"Guardians! Fusion! We've finally found the Mother Nest's fatal weakness!" The voice coming through the signal seemed to be filled with boundless joy. "The dimensional runes of the Multiverse Core are actually core fragments of the 'Chaos Guardian Rune'! As long as we can gather the other three fragments, we can awaken the true power of the Chaos Guardian Rune and completely seal the Mother Nest!"

A glimmer of hope flashed in the eyes of both the Guardian and the Amalgamator. This was the breakthrough they had been desperately seeking, their only chance to fight the Mother Nest!

The pressure of reality, however, was as heavy as Mount Tai crushing an egg. The second energy sphere of the mother nest had been completed and was poised to launch a fierce attack. Meanwhile, the lower-dimensional consciousnesses that had just regained their self-awareness still needed time to safely evacuate.

What's even more worrying is that countless unknown dangers lurk deep within the purple nebula. No one can predict what awaits them there.

Time was of the essence, and the situation was dire, but the Guardian and the Fusion did not hesitate for a moment. They exchanged a glance, and both could see determination and resolve in each other's eyes.

"No matter what, we cannot give up this opportunity!" The Guardian's voice echoed in the void. "Even if the road ahead is full of dangers, we must forge ahead!"

The fusion entity nodded silently, its body radiating powerful energy fluctuations, seemingly gathering strength for the upcoming challenge.

And so, the Guardian and the Fusion plunged headlong into the depths of the Purple Nebula in search of the fragment that might change their destiny.

The Guardian made a decision: "Fused entity, you lead the lower-dimensional consciousness and a portion of the remnant consciousness to evacuate."

The gatekeeper, along with the remaining remnants of consciousness, and I, went to search for the fragments of the Chaos Guardian Rune.

Whether we find the fragments or not, we will reunite at the breach in the dark matter trap array in one hour!

The fusion entity knew this was not the time to hesitate, and immediately nodded in agreement: "You must be careful! I will wait for you at the breach, in one hour, don't be late!"

The second energy sphere from the Mother Nest was already hurtling towards them. The Guardians and Gatekeepers, leading the remnants of consciousness, turned and sped into the depths of the purple nebula; the fused entity, carrying the lower-dimensional consciousness, retreated towards the micro-space passage—a race against time had officially begun in the purple nebula.

Meanwhile, the projection of the Mother Nest's true consciousness was closely following the Guardian, its eyes filled with killing intent—it would never allow the Guardian to find the fragments of the Chaos Guardian Rune, nor would it allow itself to be sealed away!
