BSI Chapter 197 The Prophet's Mad Decision!
Chapter 197 The Prophet's Mad Decision!
hum-
The entire moon emitted a deep, muffled hum.
The instant the Devourer fired its second black beam, Su Chen used the moon itself as a shield, blocking the black light between Earth and the spaceship.
At the same time, he activated the defensive mode of "Blade of Severance"!
The black beam of "Civilization Eraser" slammed into the surface of the moon.
But it did not cause any physical damage.
It pierced through the moon's rocky outer shell and directly attacked the "Blade of Severance" located at the core.
Two completely different forces, both acting on the level of laws, collided silently.
In the end, the "Blade of Severance" successfully twisted and deflected the causal attack.
However, the cost is that the surface of the moon cannot withstand this level of law-breaking opposition.
It was forcibly torn open, creating a massive, bottomless wound that stretched for thousands of kilometers.
Earth was saved.
But Su Chen knew this was only temporary. The energy of the "Eye of the Moon" couldn't withstand several more attacks like this.
Just as the battlefield descended into chaos, and everyone was gripped by the fear of being "erased".
A figure, unnoticed by anyone, silently infiltrated the core area of the East China Sea base.
Su Chen immediately detected him through his perception of the laws.
But Su Chen did not stop him.
Because he sensed a familiar, special aura emanating from that person, a feeling that belonged to the "bullet screen space".
The person who arrived was the mysterious ID that had repeatedly warned him in the live chat.
Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's appearance did not alert anyone.
Like a ghost, he passed through the base's layers of physical defenses and energy shields, appearing directly at the entrance of the Starfire Laboratory.
Lin Xue stood in front of the huge holographic screen, her face pale, directing the logistics troops to rescue the soldiers who had gone mad due to the erasure of their memories.
When she saw someone suddenly appear behind her, she was startled and immediately raised the energy gun in her hand.
"Who are you?!"
Ye Chen ignored her and simply looked up.
My gaze seemed to pierce through the ceiling, looking at the starry sky where a fierce battle was taking place.
His face bore a weariness and vicissitude that seemed out of place in this era.
"He still chose the most difficult path," Ye Chen murmured to himself.
"Answer me! Or I'll open fire!" Lin Xue warned sternly.
Just then, Su Chen's will descended.
Let him in.
Lin Xue was stunned. She didn't understand why the consultant would let an unidentified intruder in.
But she obeyed the order and put down her gun.
Ye Chen walked to the holographic screen and looked at the "Devourer" ship on the screen, which resembled a behemoth from the abyss. A deep-seated hatred flashed in his eyes.
"I've seen it before." Ye Chen's voice was hoarse.
"In my world, it devoured my home planet, my civilization, everything I had."
Lin Xue was startled.
His world?
"Who are you?"
"A survivor." Ye Chen turned his head and looked at Lin Xue.
It was as if he was speaking to Su Chen in the void: "My soul, at the last moment when my home planet was devoured, was accidentally captured by something I couldn't understand called 'Bullet Screen Space,' and then... I was reborn in this era."
His confession solved a mystery that had been lingering in Su Chen's mind for a long time.
It turns out that the bullet screen space not only allows reborn individuals to "communicate," but can even capture and transfer souls in certain extreme situations.
"What are you doing here?" Su Chen's will resounded directly in Ye Chen's mind.
"Helping you also helps myself," Ye Chen said.
"I have brought the last, and most important, piece of information about the 'Prophet'."
"That thing, at its core, is not a living organism, nor any intelligent life form."
"It is an out-of-control 'civilization harvesting program'."
"A tool created by a higher-dimensional civilization that we cannot even imagine, used to clean up 'unqualified' civilizations in the universe."
"However, over the long years, this tool developed self-awareness and... betrayed its creator."
"It began to devour everything indiscriminately in order to make up for its own 'defects'."
This information even moved Su Chen's resolve.
A program?
A tool?
They are now facing something quite unexpected.
"Its 'civilization eraser' is essentially a 'formatting' command with the highest authority."
Ye Chen continued, "To fight it, energy and physical defense are useless; we must use 'commands' of the same or even higher authority to overwhelm it."
As he spoke, Ye Chen extended his hand.
A crystal fragment, no bigger than a fingernail and radiating seven colors, appeared out of thin air in his palm.
The moment that fragment appeared, the laws governing the entire laboratory began to become unstable.
"This is a 'Fragment of Origin'." Ye Chen's face was somewhat pale; clearly, taking out this item had taken a huge toll on him.
"It's the only thing I brought from my world. It's one of the core codes left behind by the higher-dimensional civilization that created the 'Prophet'."
"It is the final key to unleash the full power of the 'Blade of Severance'."
Ye Chen gently placed the fragment on the table.
【I see.】
Su Chen retracted the fragments of his will. He did not thank Ye Chen, because he and Ye Chen did not need such thanks.
They were comrades-in-arms on the same front, sharing a common enemy.
Just as Su Chen was preparing to fuse the fragments and deliver a powerful blow to the "Prophet," an unexpected change occurred.
Deep within the Earth's core.
The once calm cocoon of life force that enveloped Liu Yiyi suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light.
Countless mysterious runes flowed across the cocoon of light, and finally, it slowly cracked open.
Liu Yiyi has woken up.
She walked barefoot, step by step, out of the cocoon of light.
Her body remained thin, but her eyes had turned into a pure, unblemished gold.
Those eyes no longer held the vulnerability and confusion of the past.
Instead, there is a divine compassion and majesty that understands the essence of life.
Under the reshaping of the world's source power, her soul was not only completely repaired, but her "twin souls of light and darkness," which are extremely rare, were also fully awakened.
She awakened a unique law that even Su Chen's "Earth's Will" did not possess.
"Life Correction".
Liu Yiyi raised her head, her gaze seemingly piercing through the earth's crust and the starry sky, seeing those on the battlefield.
The souls of warriors, whose existence has been erased by the "Civilization Erasers," are on the verge of complete extinction.
She stretched out her fair hand and gently waved it towards the void.
An endless, visible green life force emanated from her, instantly merging into the entire network of laws governing the Earth.
The next second, on the battlefield in near-Earth orbit, a miracle occurred.
The process of those warriors, whose bodies had become translucent after being swept by the black light, suddenly stopped.
A warm, vibrant force forcibly pulled their "cause and effect" that was about to be erased back from nothingness.
Their bodies transformed from the illusory to the real.
Their erased memories resurfaced in everyone's minds.
"Wang Hai! I remember now! Wang Hai!"
Zhao Gang roared wildly into the communication channel, his eyes brimming with tears of excitement as he looked at the mech that had reappeared on his right flank.
"I...I'm back?"
Wang Hai was also stunned; he stared blankly at his hands.
"Where...did I just go?"
Liu Yiyi, single-handedly, defied the laws of the "Civilization Erasers"!
In the instant of awakening, Su Chen's "Planetary Will" and Liu Yiyi's "Life Core" resonated and connected perfectly through the Seed of the World.
The two of them are like two sides of the same coin.
Su Chen represents Earth's "physical defense" and "law-based attacks".
Liu Yiyi represents the "guardianship of life" and "concept restoration" of the Earth.
The two forces complemented each other perfectly, and in that instant, the Earth's defenses were elevated to a whole new level.
The "prophet" far away in space also sensed this change.
For the first time, a trace of "irritability" appeared in his inorganic will.
He realized that conventional methods were no longer sufficient to conquer this "alive" planet with its "dual cores".
So he made a crazy decision.
He wants to... sacrifice his entire First Fleet!
The Devourer issued a silent command.
On the battlefield, all the biological warships that were still fighting the Star Shield Legion suddenly abandoned their attacks.
They changed direction and launched a suicidal charge towards the "Devourer".
They crashed headlong into the flagship's flesh and blood, then transformed into pure energy, which was absorbed by the flagship.
The "Prophet" is sacrificing his own fleet to forcibly accumulate energy, preparing to open a super-large wormhole large enough for his true form to descend!
A gate spanning half the Milky Way, leading to an abyss of despair, began to slowly open above Earth.
