Chapter 539: Resisting Entropy Change and Making Difficult Choices
Taking advantage of the purifying light repelling the dark creatures, Lin Yu and the others quickly approached the core of the "Entropy Change Power." The sphere radiating black light was right before them, constantly churning and surging, like a dark vortex about to erupt, distorting the surrounding air beyond recognition.
As they closed the distance, a powerful gravitational pull tugged at them, making each step forward require immense effort. The team members gritted their teeth, supporting each other as they struggled towards the core. "Give it your all, we're almost there!" Lin Yu shouted, his voice filled with determination and encouragement.
Just as they were about to touch the core, suddenly, a black energy barrier expanded out from the core, blasting everyone away. Lin Yu crashed heavily to the ground, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but he quickly got up and charged towards the barrier again.
"This barrier was set up to prevent us from stopping the awakening of the power of entropy change. We must find a way to break through it!" Lin Yu said as he and his team tried various methods. They attacked with laser weapons and rammed with energy shields, but the barrier remained unmoved and even reflected the energy of their attacks back.
The alien guardians also joined the effort to break the barrier. Using their knowledge of the ancient civilization, they searched the cave for possible clues. Finally, one of the alien guardians discovered a set of ancient runes in a corner of the cave, runes that resembled the method for breaking the barrier recorded in their ancient texts.
The group gathered around, carefully examining the runes. Lin Yu discovered that these runes seemed to require a specific energy sequence to activate. He quickly discussed the matter with his team and decided to combine the warship's energy system with the energy source provided by the alien guardians, attempting to activate them according to the runes' instructions.
Under intense manipulation, energy was injected into the runes in a specific sequence. The runes began to flicker, emitting a faint light that resonated with the black energy barrier. As the runes' light grew brighter, the barrier began to loosen, and ripples appeared on its surface.
"Now! Increase the energy output!" Lin Yu shouted. Everyone went all out, maximizing their energy output. Finally, the black energy barrier shattered with a deafening roar, shaking the entire cave.
After the barrier shattered, the group finally arrived at the core of the "Power of Entropy Change." Lin Yu cautiously reached out, attempting to touch the core and find a way to stop the awakening. However, the instant his fingers touched the core, a powerful consciousness surged into his mind.
This consciousness, filled with chaos and a destructive desire, relentlessly assaulted Lin Yu's will. Lin Yu felt as if his consciousness was being torn apart; he gritted his teeth, struggling to resist. In the midst of this assault, he witnessed the terrifying spectacle of the universe descending into chaos: stars collapsing, galaxies being destroyed, and everything vanishing into darkness.
Meanwhile, in the real world, the team members saw Lin Yu clutching his head in pain, his face filled with terror, but they were powerless to help. "Lin Yu, what's wrong? Wake up!" Ellie called out anxiously.
In his struggle with his consciousness, Lin Yu gradually discovered the key to the awakening of the "Power of Entropy Change"—an energy switch hidden deep within the core. Turning off this switch would prevent the awakening. However, the price for doing so was sacrificing a portion of his own consciousness, merging with the consciousness of the "Power of Entropy Change," and being forever trapped within this dark energy core.
Lin Yu was torn. He thought of his teammates, the countless lives in the universe, and his long-held mission to protect the cosmos. Ultimately, he made his decision.
Lin Yu turned to look at his teammates, his eyes filled with reluctance and determination: "I've found a way to stop the awakening, but I may not be able to go back. You must continue to protect the peace of the universe..." Before he could finish speaking, his teammates objected.
"No, Lin Yu, we can't let you sacrifice yourself!" Ellie cried. The other team members also shook their heads; they didn't want to lose their captain.
But Lin Yu's mind was made up. He smiled slightly, "This is my choice, and the only way. The universe needs you all. You must live on..." With that, Lin Yu no longer hesitated, focused his mind, and reached out towards the energy switch. Could he successfully shut off the switch and prevent the awakening of the "Force of Entropy Change"? And would his teammates accept his sacrifice and continue their journey to protect the universe?
