Chapter 559 The Mystery of the Guardians of the Void Core (2)
Chapter 559 The Mystery of the Guardians of the Void Core (2)
The Void Guardian in the middle gradually became transparent, and black energy surged from his body, turning into black smoke and dissipating into the void.
"efficient!"
The 0th generation observer's voice was filled with excitement. He forcefully pulled out the trapped longsword, merging the pale golden energy with the silver-gray energy of the silver-white cocoon to form a golden and white energy stream, which shot towards the Void Guardian on the far left.
The energy flow struck the silver dot on the guardian's chest, causing it to explode as well.
The leftmost guardian's body began to become transparent, the black energy dissipated, leaving only a tiny silver fragment containing energy similar to that of the Taiwuyuan narrative.
Only one Void Guardian remains.
He looked in the direction where his companions had disappeared, his body began to tremble violently, and the black energy on his body suddenly erupted, transforming into a huge black barrier that blocked the exit of the entire Void Maze.
The runes on the barrier surface lit up, releasing countless black energy waves that shot towards the fused entity and the 0th generation observer.
"He's about to initiate a self-destruct sequence and destroy the entire Void Labyrinth!"
The voice of the 0th generation observer was filled with despair. He could feel the terrifying energy contained within the barrier: "Once it self-destructs, we and the crystal will be buried in the labyrinth, never to reach the void core again."
Suddenly, the silver-white cocoon emitted a dazzling silver-gray light. The crystals inside the cocoon transformed into a stream of silver-gray light, bursting out of the cocoon and shooting towards the black barrier.
The light stream struck the runes on the barrier's surface, causing them to begin rotating in reverse, and the release speed of the black energy wave slowed significantly.
"The Guardians are attempting to break the self-destruct program!"
The fusion's voice carried hope as she poured all the white light into the silver-gray stream of light, helping the guardian decipher the runes. "We must find the last guardian's code core before he finishes deciphering it, otherwise it will be too late once the program starts."
The gaze of the 0th generation observer swept across the black barrier, and he discovered a silver dot in the center of the barrier that resembled the core of the Void Guardian's code—that was the "core switch" of the self-destruct program, and also the hiding place of the last Guardian!
"He's hiding behind the barrier, using a self-destruct program as cover!"
The 0th generation Observer raised his longsword, fusing pale gold energy with silver-gray light streams to form a massive energy sword. "Fused entity, you continue to help the Guardians decipher the runes. I'm going to destroy the core switch!"
The fusion entity nodded, and she poured all the white light into the silver-gray light stream. The light stream resonated with the runes on the surface of the barrier, causing the runes to rotate at a slower and slower speed, and the power of the black energy wave to weaken.
The 0th generation observer seized the opportunity, raised his energy sword, and charged toward the silver dot of light in the center of the black barrier.
The moment the energy sword struck the point of light, the barrier suddenly stopped releasing energy waves, the runes began to gradually disappear, and the black barrier began to become transparent.
The last Void Guardian was revealed before them.
His body had become transparent, the silver spot on his chest was gradually darkening, and black energy was constantly surging out of his body, but it could no longer form an effective attack.
“You… have disrupted… the balance of nothingness…”
The guardian's voice carried a hint of resentment as his body began to dissipate. "Absolute nothingness... exists... its final destination... You... will eventually... understand..."
The guardian's body completely dissipated, leaving only a tiny silver fragment, which, like the fragments left by the previous two guardians, contained the energy of the Taiwu Yuan narrative.
The black barrier vanished completely at that moment, revealing the exit of the Void Labyrinth—at the end of the exit was a huge black vortex, from which waves similar to the guardian's consciousness constantly emanated—that was the core of absolute nothingness!
The fused entity and the 0th generation observer, carrying silvery-white cocoons, rushed into the black vortex.
Just as they were about to enter the vortex, the silvery-white cocoon suddenly stopped moving. The silvery-gray energy on the surface of the cocoon resonated strongly with the black energy in the vortex, and a clear memory image emerged from the cocoon:
In the scene, the 0th generation observer is in the laboratory of the 0th experiment, placing an object similar to the Guardian Crystal into the Void Seal Device.
Beside the device stood a figure dressed in a black robe, his face obscured by a hood, only his hand holding a longsword identical to that of the 0th generation observer, the blade engraved with patterns similar to those of absolute nothingness energy.
Who is that dark figure?
The fused entity's voice carried a hint of doubt, "During the 0th experiment, besides you, were there any other participants?"
The 0th generation observer turned pale, his body began to tremble violently, and the End Symbol on his robe began to flicker: "I... don't remember anyone else participating... but this scene... is indeed from the 0th experiment... that shadowy figure... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before..."
Just then, a familiar voice suddenly emanated from the black vortex. The voice sounded like that of a Generation 0 Observer, a black figure, and also carried a hint of a Guardian's aura:
"Welcome to the core of absolute nothingness... You've finally found this place... But do you think... this is the truth behind Experiment 0?"
The moment the voice fell, the black vortex suddenly burst forth with dazzling black light, and countless figures emerged from the light—their faces were exactly the same as the guardian avatars from different parallel universes, except that each figure had a silver core similar to that of the Void Guardian embedded in its chest, and held a dark purple longsword in its hand.
The faces of the merged entity and the 0th generation observer turned pale at the same time.
They finally realized that the Void Guardians were only the first hurdle, and that the "Void Army" composed of Guardian clones was the real obstacle preventing them from uncovering the truth.
Suddenly, a violent tremor came from the silvery-white cocoon. The crystals inside the cocoon began to melt, and the silvery-gray energy gradually merged with the energy of the black vortex.
The Guardian's consciousness fluctuations grew stronger and stronger, yet they carried a hint of despair—he seemed to know what he was about to face, but he couldn't convey it to the Fusion and the 0th Generation Observer in words.
The Void Army within the black vortex began to approach them. The figures at the forefront raised dark purple longswords, the runes on the blades lighting up and releasing a black energy wave that shot towards the fused entity and the 0th generation observer.
The 0th generation observer raised his longsword and used pale golden energy to build a barrier.
But he knew that this barrier could only withstand one attack at most, and they had no chance of winning against countless void armies.
The fused entity tightly protected the silver-white cocoon, its gaze fixed on the depths of the black vortex—where a tiny golden point of light contained energy similar to that of the enemy's Experiment 0. Perhaps that was the true truth of Experiment 0, and their only hope.
"We must plunge into the depths of the vortex and find that golden light."
The fused entity's voice was resolute: "The truth of the 0th experiment must be hidden inside, and it is also the key to awakening the Guardians' consciousness and defeating the Void Army."
The 0th generation observer nodded, pouring all his pale golden energy into the longsword, causing the blade to burst forth with unprecedented light: "I'll hold off the Void Army; you take the crystal and charge into the vortex."
Remember, no matter what happens, find the truth; this is our only chance.
Just as the energy wave from the Void Army was about to strike them, the 0th Generation Observer swung his longsword and charged towards the Void Army.
The fused entity, carrying the silver-white cocoon, seized the opportunity to rush into the depths of the black vortex—towards the location of the golden light.
Just as she was about to enter the depths of the vortex, she heard the screams of the 0th generation observer and felt the violent fluctuations of the guardian's consciousness within the silver-white cocoon.
She knew that the 0th generation observers were surrounded by the Void Army, and she was the last hope to find the truth.
When she finally arrived at the location of the golden light, she discovered that a memory was sealed within it—the final scene of the 0th experiment: the 0th generation observer and the figure in the black robe were arguing about whether to release the absolute nothingness, and the face of the figure in the black robe was exactly the same as the guardian's!
"This... How is this possible?"
The fused entity's voice was filled with shock; she couldn't believe what she was seeing—the Guardian already existed during the 0th experiment?
And he was even related to the release of absolute nothingness?
Just then, a violent tremor suddenly came from the black vortex, and the black energy of the Void Army began to spread towards the location of the golden light spot.
The merged entity knew she had no time to think; she had to immediately awaken the Guardian's consciousness, show him this memory, and uncover the true truth of the 0th experiment.
She poured all the white light into the silvery-white cocoon, and the crystals inside suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, merging with the energy of the golden light spots.
A clear fluctuation of consciousness emanated from the cocoon; it was the guardian's voice, yet it carried a strange heaviness:
"So... the truth behind Experiment 0... is like this... I... was actually..."
The sound suddenly stopped, and the black vortex vibrated more and more violently. The black energy of the Void Army had already touched the edge of the golden light spot.
The merged entity felt a wave of despair. She didn't know what the guardian was going to say next, nor did she know whether they could preserve this crucial memory under the attack of the Void Army.
At the entrance to the black vortex, the 0th generation observer's longsword had been corroded black by the black energy, and his body was gradually becoming transparent, yet he was still struggling to hold on—he was waiting, waiting for the moment when the fusion and the guardian would reveal the truth, even if it meant sacrificing his own life.
