Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 896 The Remnant Soul Alliance (5)

The gray energy within the Star Lord's body was also purified by the power of origin. He struggled to his feet, looking at the remnant consciousness of the fused entity with joy in his eyes: "Master Fusion Entity!"

The fused entity nodded, its gaze falling on the Magic Pope and the remnant soul, a cold killing intent flashing in its eyes: "You colluded with the remnant soul to seize the fragments of origin and disrupt the dimensional balance. Today, I will punish you on behalf of the dimensional laws!"

Just as the fused entity was preparing to launch its attack to slay the Magic Pope and the remnant soul, the secret chamber suddenly trembled violently, and a massive gray rift appeared in the void. Countless streams of gray energy surged from the rift, and at the same time, an even larger figure of the remnant soul slowly emerged from it.

This remnant soul was far more powerful than any other remnant soul encountered before, surrounded by dense gray energy and radiating a chilling pressure. Looking at the fused entity's remnant consciousness, it let out a sinister laugh: "Fused entity, I didn't expect you to awaken ahead of schedule. But it doesn't matter. Today, I will devour your remnant consciousness, seize all the fragments of your origin, and help me reshape my form to become the ruler of this dimension!"

The fused remnant soul's expression changed drastically. She could sense that this remnant soul's power was even greater than her own. Moreover, gray energy and remnant souls were continuously pouring out of the rift, clearly indicating that the main force of the Remnant Soul Alliance had already arrived in the magical dimension ahead of schedule.

The Lord of the Stars and the two guardians also changed their expressions drastically. They did not expect that the Remnant Soul Alliance would launch an attack ahead of schedule and send out such a powerful Remnant Soul Core.

The fused consciousness, remnants of its soul, stood tightly guarding the three Star Lords, a resolute glint in its eyes. She knew her current power was utterly insufficient to withstand this powerful remnant soul. But she could not back down; she had to protect the Star Lords, the Origin Fragment, and the Hyper-Multiverse.

But at that moment, she suddenly felt her remnant consciousness begin to become disordered, and her primordial power was rapidly fading. Startled, she examined her consciousness in confusion and discovered that a trace of gray energy had been implanted into it. This energy was rapidly eroding her consciousness, making it impossible for her to mobilize her primordial power.

"Who? Who implanted gray energy into my consciousness?" The remnant soul of the fused entity let out a painful roar, its form beginning to become illusory.

The Lord of the Stars asked with concern, "Lord Fusion, what's wrong?"

The remnant soul core let out a smug laugh: "Fused entity, do you think you can awaken so easily? The gray energy within you was implanted by me long ago. I had already laid the groundwork while your consciousness and remnant soul were dormant, just to wait for you to awaken, then devour your consciousness and seize your source power. Now, you have no ability to resist. Just surrender obediently!"

The fused consciousness's remnant soul grew increasingly ethereal, its aura fading until it was on the verge of complete dissipation. The Lord of the Stars was filled with despair. He wanted to rush forward to help, but the remnant soul's gray energy bound him in place, rendering him immobile.

The remnant soul core slowly walked towards the fused entity's remnant consciousness, its eyes filled with greed. It reached out, wanting to devour the fused entity's remnant consciousness and seize its source power.

Just as his hand was about to touch the remnant soul of the fused entity, the two primal fragments in the Star Lord's hand suddenly erupted with golden light once more. Within the light, an ancient rune slowly emerged. The rune radiated a powerful primal pressure, instantly suppressing the gray energy in the remnant soul's core, even causing the gray energy within the rift to momentarily stagnate.

The remnant soul's core expression changed drastically, its eyes filled with disbelief: "This is... an ancient primordial rune? How could it appear in a fragment?"

The Lord of the Stars was also stunned. He looked at the rune in his hand, his heart filled with doubt. He didn't know what the rune was, nor why it had suddenly appeared.

Suddenly, the rune erupted with a golden stream of light, surging towards the remnant consciousness of the fused entity. The light merged into the remnant consciousness, rapidly purifying the gray energy within her body, gradually solidifying her form, and restoring her aura.

The remnant consciousness of the fused entity slowly opened its eyes, a hint of surprise flashing across them before being replaced by a resolute light. Looking at the runes in her hand, she murmured to herself, "These are the guardian runes of the dimensional origin, the power left behind by the first guardian."

The remnant soul's core was filled with terror: "No! This is impossible! How could the power of the first guardian appear here?"

The fused entity raised its head, its gaze falling on the remnant soul core, a cold killing intent flashing in its eyes: "Remnant Soul, do you think your conspiracy will succeed? The protective runes left behind by the First Guardian were meant to defend against evil forces like you. Today, I will use the power of these runes to completely annihilate you!"

She raised her hand and waved, the power of the runes merging with the power of the primordial fragments to form a massive golden blade of light, which slashed towards the core of the remnant soul. Wherever the blade passed, the gray energy dissolved, and the cracks began to gradually shrink.

The remnant soul core's expression changed drastically. It tried to dodge, but was immobilized by the power of the light blade. It could only mobilize all its gray energy to form a huge light shield to block the light blade's attack.

The light blade collided with the light shield, unleashing a powerful energy shockwave that shook the entire magic temple violently, threatening to collapse at any moment.

The light shield shattered completely, and the light blade struck the remnant soul core's body. The remnant soul core let out a painful roar, its form began to dissipate rapidly, and the gray energy receded like a tide.

"No! I won't just disappear like this!" The remnant soul core's voice was filled with endless resentment. "My companions will avenge me, they will seize the Origin Fragment, and destroy the Hyper-Multiverse!"

After saying that, the remnant soul core completely disappeared, and the rift closed.

The Pope looked at the scene before him with fear in his eyes. He knew he had no chance of winning and turned to flee the secret chamber.

"Trying to leave? Too late!" the remnant of the merged consciousness sneered, raising his hand and shooting a stream of primal power towards the Magic Pope. The primal power struck the Magic Pope's body, instantly purifying him and transforming him into a golden stream of light that merged into the origin of the magical dimension.

With the crisis temporarily averted, the Lord of the Stars and the two guardians were also released from their confinement and hurriedly headed towards the remnant consciousness of the fused entity.

"Lord Fusion, it's so good to know you're alright!" the Lord of the Stars said joyfully.

The fused entity nodded, a hint of fatigue on its face: "I'm fine. Fortunately, I have the protective runes left by the first guardian, otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been devoured by the remnant soul."

"Lord Fusion, what is the origin of this protective rune?" the Lord of the Stars asked in confusion.

The fused entity slowly said, "This guardian rune is the last bit of power left behind by the first guardian when sealing the dimensional imbalancers. It is hidden in the fragment of origin and will only be activated when I encounter mortal danger and the power of origin is on the verge of dissipation. It can not only purify evil energy, but also enhance my power."

Everyone was overjoyed. With this protective rune, their search for fragments and their fight against the Remnant Soul Alliance would undoubtedly be much easier.
