Chapter 449 The Mystery of Starry Eyes
The moment the merged consciousness plunged into the abyss of darkness, the mark of the twin powers on her chest burned her nerves like an inextinguishable flame.
Fine threads of light burst forth from the mark, as light as morning dew on a spider web, yet incredibly resilient, extending towards the end of time.
Each filament of light flickered with a faint glow, tracing faint paths in the darkness, like threads of fate guiding her toward the unknown.
In the real world, Xiaoying's swollen body has transformed into the core of a pitch-black vortex, which resembles the gaping maw of a giant beast, ready to devour everything at any moment.
The guardian's veins bulged from being constricted by the chains, and the blue light around his neck almost dissipated, flickering in the darkness like a dying candle.
The remaining power of the Time Watchers formed a weak resistance barrier within the vortex. That barrier was like a small boat in a storm, struggling to stay afloat amidst the raging waves, and in danger of capsizing at any moment.
"Still want to struggle?"
The giant eye's oppressive aura pressed down as if it were a physical force, and the air seemed to be compressed, making a "buzzing" sound.
More chains surged from the spacetime rift, like a black waterfall, carrying a chilling sense of oppression, completely enveloping the three of them.
The grating sound of chains grinding together, like the whispers of a demon, echoed in this distorted spacetime.
The consciousness of the fused entity was drawn by the light threads at this moment, traversing layers of distorted spacetime, as if experiencing an endless fall.
Finally, she arrived at a strange space filled with stardust, which shimmered with a mysterious light, like countless tiny stars scattered on the ground.
Countless shattered mirrors float, reflecting fragments of different times and spaces:
In some of the mirrors, the first observers and the gatekeepers are engaged in a fierce battle, their moves creating waves of energy that tear apart the surrounding space.
In some mirrors, the river of time has dried up, all parallel worlds have turned to dust, leaving behind only desolation and death.
The fused entity stopped in front of a mirror that emitted a soft glow.
In the mirror, a woman resembling her is channeling the power of twins into a star-shaped artifact. The woman's movements are elegant and solemn, her eyes revealing determination and resolve.
"When twin eyes resonate, the shackles of time can be broken."
The woman's voice was ethereal and otherworldly, yet it clearly reached the ears of the merged entity, as if traversing endless time and space.
The fused entity looked down at its chest, where the golden light shone even brighter, outlining the shape of a star-shaped eye in the stardust space. Wherever the light reached, the stardust began to rotate around it, forming a small star trail.
The crisis in reality, however, could not wait. Xiaoying opened her enormous, black hole-like maw, and the powerful suction instantly swallowed the guardian's icy barrier.
The guardian's armor shattered inch by inch, making cracking sounds, and he was sucked towards the center of the vortex.
At the critical moment, he bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blue blood, turning his last bit of strength into a blue blood mist.
The blood mist condensed in the air into ancient protective runes, which shimmered with a faint light, temporarily resisting the suction force.
"A fusion! Quickly..."
His cries, filled with anxiety and anticipation, were shattered by the chains. His body was strangled with several bloody marks, and blood dripped down the chains, blooming into blue flowers on the ground.
The Time Watcher's staff trembled violently in the vortex, as if it were enduring immense pain.
The star gemstone has lost its luster and its former brilliance.
With her last ounce of strength, she channeled the Time Compass into a stream of light and poured it into Xiaoying's body, attempting to awaken her controlled consciousness.
"The legacy of observers should not be used as a tool for destruction!"
Her voice was firm and powerful, carrying with it a steadfast commitment to her mission.
The light from the compass collided with the power within Xiao Ying's body, exploding into a dazzling burst of light on the surface of the vortex. The light illuminated the entire distorted spacetime, but it also made the giant eye even more furious.
The giant eye shot out a dark purple beam of light, striking the Time Watcher directly.
The beam of light moved at an extremely high speed, like a bolt of lightning piercing the night sky.
The beam of light pierced through her shoulder, and blood splattered in the distorted spacetime, turning into specks of starlight that drifted in the air.
The Watcher staggered and fell, his staff rolling to the side of the unconscious fusion.
At this moment, the golden light on the chest of the fused entity suddenly surged, and the outline of the star-shaped eyes in the star sand space was completely formed.
A dazzling beam of starlight shot out from the star's eye, piercing through time and space, carrying a world-destroying power, and struck the giant eye directly.
Wherever the starlight touched, space was torn apart, leaving behind black cracks.
The giant eye let out a painful roar, a sound so deafening it seemed to make the entire universe tremble.
Its pupils contracted violently, countless chains began to break apart, and fragments scattered like meteors.
Xiao Ying's body also stopped expanding, and cracks appeared in the black hole-like vortex, with light shining through the cracks, like the dawn before sunrise.
Guided by starlight, the consciousness of the merged entity returned to reality.
She weakly grasped the Time Watcher's staff, and the power of twins resonated with the star power within the staff. The gem at the head of the staff regained its brilliance, growing brighter and brighter until it formed a dazzling sphere of light.
"So the Starry Eyes were within the power of twins..."
The fused entity muttered to itself, its eyes gleaming with excitement and sudden realization.
She waved her staff, and a golden chain of starlight shot towards Xiaoying. The chain wrapped around her, fiercely battling against the black chains that controlled her.
The golden and black light collided continuously, and the resulting energy shockwaves shattered the surrounding spacetime, creating small black holes that continuously devoured everything around them.
The giant eye did not stop there.
Its sclera was split open with countless slits, like the gaping maw of a demon.
A group of mysterious figures clad in black robes emerged from the crowd, their steps synchronized, their eyes cold and resolute.
These people all had patterns resembling giant eyes etched between their brows, and they held weapons that emitted an eerie light. The light on the weapons flickered, as if telling of an evil power.
"You think finding the Star Eye will turn the tide?"
The mysterious leader sneered, his voice filled with mockery and disdain, "The world's order has long since collapsed; only through destruction can new life be ushered in!"
The mysterious group launched an attack; wherever the light from their weapons reached, the space was corroded with dark holes.
The holes kept expanding, as if the wounds in space were bleeding.
Despite his injuries, the guardian forced himself to gather blue energy once more. His arms trembled slightly, and he endured immense pain with each bit of power he gathered.
He fought alongside the fusion entity, his eyes revealing determination and fearlessness.
The Time Watcher also struggled to her feet. Her face was as pale as paper, and her wounds were still bleeding, but she still poured her last bit of power into her staff.
The three formed a triangular formation to defend against the mysterious man's attack. Their figures appeared small yet incredibly resolute amidst the interplay of light and darkness.
During the fierce battle, the fusion entity keenly discovered that the mysterious man's attack rhythm was closely related to the pulse of the giant eye.
She had a sudden inspiration and shouted to the Guardians and Watchers, "Attack the pulsating nodes of the giant eye!"
The three worked in perfect harmony, launching their strongest attack simultaneously.
The fused tri-colored light blades sliced through the air with a fierce momentum; the guardian's blue energy waves surged forward like a raging tide.
The Watcher's Time Imprisonment Beam flickered with a mysterious light, locking onto its target.
The three attacks struck specific points on the giant eye simultaneously, unleashing a dazzling light and a tremendous sound, as if the entire world had been ignited at that moment.
The giant eye let out a deafening roar, its body began to tremble violently, and the surrounding space and time were distorted and deformed.
The black chains on Xiaoying's body snapped one by one, making a crisp breaking sound.
Her eyes gradually regained their clarity, and the confusion and fear in them were gradually replaced by sobriety and determination.
Just when everyone thought victory was imminent, the giant eye suddenly self-destructed, and a powerful energy shockwave swept in like a tsunami.
The fused entity strained with all her might to support the spacetime shield; her hands trembled from the excessive force, and her forehead was covered in sweat.
However, the shield quickly developed cracks under the energy impact, and the cracks, resembling a spider web, continued to expand.
Even more terrifying, the dark matter generated by the explosion began to devour the surrounding spacetime, and a black hole larger than before was forming, with an eerie purple light emanating from its edge, like the eye of a demon.
Deep within the black hole, an even more sinister laugh echoed, a laugh that sent chills down one's spine, as if foreshadowing an even greater crisis to come...
