Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 639 The First Appearance of the Raiders and the Deadly Fog of Rune Traps (3)

Without hesitation, the Guardian's consciousness fused the four-colored energy with the twin primal energy, forming a "double protective layer" around his body. "My energy is of the same origin as the runes, which can better resist the pollution of the siphon energy. Moreover, I have the key energy of the dimensional runes in my body, which can find the exact location of the hub more quickly."

"You will cooperate with me from the outside. Once you discover that I am being controlled, immediately sever my connection to the runes with Absolute Termination Energy. Do not hesitate."

The merged entity and the gatekeeper did not object; they knew it was the best option.

The Guardian's consciousness light slowly merged into the dimensional runes, entering a purple consciousness space. In this space, countless siphon energy lines, like vines, extended towards the core. The central purple node emitted a dangerous light, and around the node floated countless fragments of consciousness controlled by the Mother Nest. These fragments, like ghosts, constantly tried to approach the Guardian and corrupt his consciousness.

"Go away!"

The guardian's four-colored energy burst forth with light, dispelling the surrounding fragments of consciousness and rapidly approaching the purple node.

When he was ten steps away from the node, the space suddenly trembled violently, and a huge purple phantom emerged from the node—this was the Mother Nest's "consciousness projection." The phantom's shape was similar to a purple nebula, and it was surrounded by countless siphoning energies. It was clearly a consciousness clone that the Mother Nest used to remotely control the marker.

"You think you can ruin my plans?"

The mother hive's consciousness sneered coldly, "Once your consciousness enters the runes, you can never leave! I will siphon energy and transform you into the strongest 'Super Predator,' making you personally destroy the dimensional cluster you are protecting!"

The siphon energy suddenly erupted, surging towards the guardian from all directions, attempting to penetrate his double protective layers.

The pale golden light that the protective layer had been shining through now seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, and cracks began to appear. These cracks spread rapidly like a spider web, as if the entire protective layer was about to collapse.

At the same time, the Guardian's consciousness began to show a slight disturbance. He could clearly sense that the energy released by the Mother Nest far exceeded that of any enemy he had faced before.

However, facing such a powerful enemy, the Guardian showed no sign of backing down. He gritted his teeth and poured all the remaining energy in his body into the four-colored lightsaber in his hand without reservation.

As energy was poured in, the lightsaber shone even brighter, as if it had become one with the Guardian. At this moment, the Guardian placed all his hopes on this lightsaber.

Without hesitation, he raised his lightsaber and launched a final charge toward the purple node.

"I will never let you succeed!" the guardian roared, his voice echoing through the air.

The lightsaber flashed past like lightning, striking the purple node with perfect accuracy.

The instant the lightsaber made contact with the node, a tremendous energy explosion erupted. The dazzling light, like the sun, instantly engulfed everything around it.

In this dazzling light, the purple energy of the node began to fade rapidly at a visible rate. And the siphon energy lines that originally surrounded the node, as if losing their support, began to become chaotic.

Finally, after a brief but intense energy collision, the marked energy nexus was successfully destroyed!

The consciousness projection of the Mother Nest let out an angry roar and completely dissipated in the light. The purple consciousness space inside the rune also began to collapse. The guardian's consciousness light stream took the opportunity to break out and successfully returned to the core of the multiverse before the space completely collapsed.

"Success! The marked connection has been severed!"

The white light of the fused entity immediately flowed into the guardian's consciousness, purifying the residual siphon energy on his body.

Although the Guardian's consciousness was weak, it carried a hint of relief: "The Mother Nest is very powerful. We must speed up the raid plan and destroy the Plunder Energy Crystal before the Super Plunderer is fully developed, otherwise we have no chance of winning."

The gatekeeper nodded, projecting the recorded coordinates of the hive into the void, and began to formulate a raid plan: "We need to assemble a 'raid squad,' whose members must be the most energetic and most resistant to contamination."

"I suggest a team consisting of you, me, the merged entity, the leader of the red light spot, and fifty elite members of the rapid reaction force—we will use spatial folding to directly traverse the loopholes in the laws, launch a surprise attack on the Mother Nest's core, and destroy the energy crystal; the other alliance members will remain in the dimensional cluster to reinforce defenses and prevent other plundering tools of the Mother Nest from launching an attack."

With the plan finalized, the raiding squad began emergency preparations.

The leader of the red light spot led fifty elite team members to complete intensive training in resisting energy theft within a day; the fusion entity then converted all the remaining anti-plunder energy ore into "portable protective energy packs" and distributed them to the team members; the guardians and gatekeepers studied the dimensional runes again, attempting to find a "safe route" to traverse the loopholes in the laws through the runes.

Just as the raiding squad was about to depart, the dimensional runes suddenly flickered again.

This time, instead of coordinates appearing on the surface of the runes, a "warning text" was revealed: "The purple nebula is not the true core of the Mother Nest, but a 'bait nest.' The true Mother Nest is hidden in the 'black singularity' of the chaotic space."

The decoy hive is riddled with siphon energy traps; anyone who enters will be completely controlled by the hive and become 'energy nourishment' for the super predators—the coordinates you see are merely tools the hive uses to lure you into these traps.

The moment the words appeared, the Guardians' consciousness turned cold – they hadn't expected the Mother Nest's schemes to be so deep, that even the "raid plan" was under their control.

If they start from the previous coordinates, the raiding squad will not only fail to destroy the mother hive, but will also become "nourishment" for the enemy, accelerating the breeding speed of the super raiders. At that time, the entire multidimensional group will face annihilation.

"The true brood site is at the Black Singularity..."

The gatekeeper's black energy gripped the Absolute End Key tightly. "But we know nothing about the Black Singularity, not even its exact location—the dimensional runes gave a warning, but didn't provide the coordinates of the Black Singularity. This is yet another new problem!"

The Guardian's consciousness sank into the dimensional runes, attempting to activate more hidden functions and obtain information about the Black Singularity.

The rune's light dimmed again, and no matter how much energy he poured in, there was no further response—as if the warning just now was merely a "partial truth" deliberately leaked by the Mother Nest to put the Alliance in a "dilemma": if they didn't raid the decoy nest, they couldn't stop the breeding of super raiders; if they raided the decoy nest, they would fall into a trap and be doomed.

The raiding squad's departure plan was forced to be suspended, and all members fell into a deep daze.
