Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 659 The Struggle for Fragments and the Core's Defense Crisis in the Time Storm (2)

He could see that inside the light shield, the fusion entity, the gatekeeper, the leader of the red light spot, and the remaining team members and consciousness entities were using their last bit of energy to build a defensive line to resist the attacks from outside the light shield. Although only one of the three Chaos Raiders remained, the Mother Nest had obviously sent out a large number of Raider puppets. These puppets were crashing against the light shield like a tide, and the cracks on the light shield were increasing, and it could collapse completely at any time.

"The Guardians are back!"

The merged entity was the first to spot the Guardian. A flicker of joy crossed her eyes, and she immediately released an energy signal to notify the others, "He brought back the second fragment! We're saved!"

The gatekeepers and the leader of the red light spots were also invigorated. They immediately adjusted their defensive tactics, concentrated their remaining energy, and temporarily held off the puppet's attack, buying time for the guardians.

The guardian swiftly flew to the inside of the light shield and infused the energy of the two Chaos Guardian Rune fragments into the dimensional rune. The rune instantly burst forth with a strong golden light, which spread rapidly along the surface of the light shield, clearing away all traces of chaotic energy that were wrapped around it. The previously dim guardian patterns also lit up again, even more brilliantly than before.

The light shield's defensive power increased tenfold instantly. The raider puppet's attack landed on the light shield, but it couldn't even cause a ripple. Instead, it was hit by the protective energy reflected by the light shield and instantly dissipated.

Seeing that things were not going well, the last Chaos Raider turned to flee.

How could the Guardian give it a chance? He fused the energy of the two fragments, transforming it into a golden arrow of light that precisely struck the Chaos Raider's core crystal—the crystal shattered, and the Chaos Raider's body instantly dissipated, completely disappearing into the void.

Upon seeing their leader destroyed, the raider golems outside the light shield immediately fell into chaos and began to scatter and flee.

The leader of the red light spots led his team to release anti-plunder energy, eliminating all the remaining puppets and finally restoring peace to the outer perimeter of the core.

"It's finally safe!"

The fusion body breathed a sigh of relief, its body went limp, and it almost fell over—its energy was completely exhausted, and if the guardian hadn't returned in time, its core would probably have been breached by the mother nest.

The situation of the goalkeeper and the leader of the red light spot is not optimistic either. The streams of consciousness are clearly fatigued, and most of the team members and consciousness entities are also covered in wounds.

The Guardian immediately divided the energy of the two fragments into multiple streams and injected them into the consciousness light streams of everyone to help them recover their energy: "You've all worked hard. We're safe for now, but the Mother Nest won't give up. We must recover our strength as soon as possible and use the energy of the two fragments to further strengthen the core's defenses and search for clues about the third fragment."

Everyone nodded and began searching for a safe area within the core to restore their energy.

The guardian then approached the dimensional rune and poured all the energy from the two fragments into it—the pale gold patterns on the rune's surface became more complex, and it released an energy projection that showed the entirety of the chaotic space. One area, shimmering with red light, was the location of the third fragment of the Chaos Guardian Rune.

"The third fragment is in the spatial rift cluster!"

A hint of joy flashed in the Guardian's eyes, and he immediately showed the projection to everyone, "The spatial rift cluster is in the southwest quadrant of the chaotic space, a five-day space travel distance from here."

The space there is extremely unstable, riddled with spatial rifts that could collapse at any moment, and the Mother Nest likely has set up traps there that are even more dangerous than the temporal turbulence zones.

The gatekeeper recovered some energy and moved closer to the projection, carefully observing the terrain of the spatial rift cluster: "Among the spatial rift clusters, the most dangerous is the 'spatial strangulation zone,' where the spatial rifts constantly open and close, generating a powerful strangulation force. Once caught in it, the consciousness will be torn apart instantly."

Furthermore, according to intelligence previously provided by the consciousness entity, the Mother Nest has cultivated a type of 'Space Raider' within the spatial rift cluster, capable of freely traversing the rifts. These raiders can launch surprise attacks through the spatial rifts, making them extremely difficult to defend against.

The leader of the red light spots frowned: "Our energy has not fully recovered yet, and many of our team members are injured. If we go to the spatial rift cluster now, we may encounter unforeseen circumstances."

"Why don't we rest in the core for two days, wait for our energy to recover, and then set off to find the third fragment?"

Everyone agreed, and the guardian, knowing that now was not the time for adventure, nodded in agreement: "Alright, let's rest for two days first."

Over the past two days, the fused entity and I have been using the energy from the two fragments to strengthen the golden light shield's defenses, while simultaneously repairing the energy depletion of the dimensional runes; the gatekeeper and the leader of the red light spots are responsible for training the team members and consciousness entities, improving their combat capabilities, and also gathering intelligence on the spatial rift cluster and formulating detailed action routes; the others are responsible for the core's daily patrols to prevent the lurking puppets of the mother nest from launching sudden attacks.

With the tasks assigned, everyone immediately got to work.

Inside the golden light shield, a busy yet orderly scene unfolded – some were restoring energy, some were strengthening defenses, some were organizing intelligence, and some were training for combat.

Everyone knew that these two days of rest were crucial. They had to be fully prepared before launching another attack on the Mother Nest, otherwise the Multidimensional Group would face annihilation.

However, what they didn't know was that deep within the chaotic space, the main body of the mother nest was confronting a mysterious black figure.

This black figure emanated chaotic energy even more powerful than the Mother Nest. Its specific form was unclear, but one could see a pair of eyes flashing with red light, filled with an aura of destruction and madness.

"Are you really willing to help me break through the core of multiple origins?"

The mother nest was on high alert. It could sense that the black figure was far stronger than itself, and if the other party had malicious intent, it would be no match for it.

The black figure emitted a low, hoarse voice, as grating as metal scraping: "I have no interest in the consciousness of the multidimensional group; I only want fragments of the Chaos Guardian Talisman."

"If you help me obtain the fragment, I will help you destroy the multi-dimensional primordial core and make you the new ruler of the chaotic space."

A glint of greed flashed in the eyes of the mother nest's true form: "Alright! I agree!"

I know the third fragment is in the spatial rift cluster. The Guardians will be there soon to find it. We can ambush them in the rift cluster, take them down in one fell swoop, and seize the fragment!

The black figure's red eyes flashed, and a strange smile appeared on its lips: "Very well, then let's go to the spatial rift cluster and wait for the guardians to walk right into our trap."

This time, I will make him completely dissipate into the chaotic space, so he will never have another chance to hinder us!

The two figures transformed into two streaks of light and flew towards the group of spatial rifts.

An even greater crisis is quietly brewing within the spatial rift cluster.

Will the Guardians be able to uncover the Mother Nest's conspiracy? What dangers will they encounter within the spatial rift network? And who will ultimately acquire the third fragment of the Chaos Guardian Rune?
