Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 731 The Perilous Journey of Star Core Shattering (2)

The team immediately rushed into the mechanical gate, with the Reset Master close behind, but just as they were about to enter, they were blocked by a golden mechanical energy barrier:

"Outsider, your energy disrupts the balance. You are forbidden from entering the mechanically balanced universe."

"Damn mechanical consciousness! Get out of my way!"

The Lord of Reset mobilized his silver-gray energy and slammed it into the mechanical barrier. The barrier trembled violently, but it did not break.

The mechanical gate slowly closed, shutting out the roar of the Reset Lord. The team finally escaped their pursuit and stood on the land of the mechanically balanced universe, breathing a sigh of relief.

This universe is unlike any other universe before it. The ground is a flat plane made of metal, and countless mechanical devices float in the sky. Mechanical arms operate in an orderly manner in the void, constructing various energy structures. The entire universe is filled with an aura of "order" and "balance".

A colossal mechanical entity, composed of golden metal and blue energy, slowly approached. This was the Mechanical Core, the guardian of the mechanically balanced universe. Its body was covered in intricate gears and wiring, and its eyes gleamed with blue mechanical light.

“I have learned about your situation through the consciousness of the Primordial Void Explorer. The fragments of the Ultimate Balance Key are in the ‘Core Workshop’ of the Mechanical Universe, but it is occupied by ‘Out-of-Control Mechanical Consciousnesses’, who are powerful destroyers of mechanical balance.”

A resolute expression emanated from the fused entity's golden light: "No matter how difficult it is, we must obtain the fragment. The mechanical core—we need your help."

“I can help you eliminate the runaway mechanical consciousness, but in exchange, you need to help me repair the ‘balance core’ of the mechanical universe.”

The mechanical voice of the mechanical core was devoid of emotion: "The balance core has experienced energy disorder due to interference from the out-of-control mechanical consciousness. If it is not repaired in time, the balance of the entire mechanical universe will collapse."

The fusion entity nodded in agreement: "We agree. Now, let's repair the balancing core first, and then head together to the core workshop to find the fragments."

The mechanical core led the team to the center of the mechanical universe, a "balance core tower" made of giant metal gears. At the top of the tower, blue mechanical energy was surging erratically, and the surrounding mechanical devices were constantly malfunctioning due to the unstable energy.

“Repairing the core of balance requires three types of energy: ‘order energy’, ‘repair energy’, and ‘stabilizing energy’.”

The mechanical core's mechanical arm pointed to the top of the tower. "I provide the energy of order, the energy of repair requires the primordial energy of the Primordial Void Explorers, and the energy of stabilization requires your balancing energy."

Everyone immediately took action. The mechanical core released golden energy of order, the primordial void explorer released colorful primordial energy, and the fusion body, Canglan, Yanjin, and others released their respective balancing energies. The three energies intertwined at the top of the tower to form a three-colored energy stream, which slowly flowed into the balancing core.

As energy was injected, the chaotic blue mechanical energy gradually stabilized, and the malfunctioning mechanical devices around it began to operate again.

As the balancing core was nearing completion, a powerful burst of silver-gray energy suddenly erupted from the top of the tower.

The Lord of Reset actually broke through the mechanical barrier and found this place by balancing the energy fluctuations of the core!

"Let's see where you can run now!" The Lord of Reset's silver-gray energy transformed into a giant claw, grabbing at the fragment positioning device at the top of the tower. "This time, I want all the fragments and the energy of the mechanical universe!"

The mechanical arm at the core of the machine instantly erupted, golden mechanical energy transforming into a giant shield that blocked the silver-gray giant claw:

"Outsider, you dare to disrupt the mechanical balance, I will make you pay the price!"

Anger surged within the golden light of the fused entity, as the energy of the initial balanced source core intertwined with the primordial energy, forming a multicolored lightsaber that pierced towards the back of the Reset Lord:

"Lord of Reset, do you think you can succeed? Today, we will finish you off right here and now!"

The Lord of Reset turned around and blocked the lightsaber. The silver-gray energy collided with the colorful energy, and the resulting shockwave shook the entire Balance Core Tower to the point of collapse.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the fusion entity mobilized its energy, connecting the repaired balance core with the energy of the mechanical universe. Instantly, countless golden mechanical energies converged from all parts of the universe, forming a huge mechanical energy network that firmly trapped the Lord of Reset.

"No! This is impossible!" The Lord of Reset's silver-gray energy struggled violently, but could not break free from the mechanical energy net's restraints.

"How could mechanical energy be so strong?"

Blue light flashed in the mechanical eyes of the mechanical core: "The essence of mechanical balance is 'order and cooperation.' The energy of the entire mechanical universe, when gathered together, is enough to withstand any force that disrupts the balance. Now, it's time for you to pay the price for breaking the balance!"

It mobilized the mechanical energy network, and the golden energy began to compress, attempting to completely purify the silver-gray energy of the Reset Lord.

The Lord of Reset suddenly burst into a maniacal laugh, and a black energy fluctuation rippled within the silver-gray energy.

That is the "Void Reset Energy," which is even more terrifying than Reset Energy. It is a new energy form formed by him after devouring countless universes and fusing with Void Energy.

"You want to purify me? Not so easy!"

The void reset energy erupted instantly, and countless cracks appeared in the mechanical energy network.

"I will unleash this energy and make the entire mechanical universe my demise!"

A hint of despair flashed in the eyes of the merged entity. She could clearly sense that the power of the Void Reset Energy was enough to destroy the entire mechanical universe and even affect the surrounding cosmic sea.

At this critical moment, the Primordial Void Explorer suddenly rushed towards the Lord of Reset, its colorful light streams and silver-gray energy tightly intertwined:

"Fusion entity, quickly use the energy of the fragment! The fragment is connected to the ultimate balance core and can temporarily seal the energy of the void reset!"

The fused entity reacted immediately, throwing the fragment in its hand toward the entanglement between the Primordial Void Explorer and the Reset Lord.

The moment the fragment came into contact with the Void Reset Energy, it burst forth with a five-colored light. Within the light, the phantom of the Ultimate Balance Core slowly emerged, temporarily sealing the Void Reset Energy and the consciousness of the Reset Master within the light.

"Success!" Excitement rippled through Canglan's pale blue light. "The Void Reset Energy has been sealed!"

"The Primordial Void Exploration Entity!"

The fused entity's voice was filled with pain; she knew that the Primordial Void Explorer wanted to sacrifice itself to buy them time to escape.

The Primordial Void Explorer did not respond. Suddenly, the colored light burst forth with intense light, reinforcing the sealed light once more. At the same time, it flew toward the edge of the mechanical universe, attempting to guide the consciousness of the Reset Lord to an area far from the core.

As the fused entity watched the departing figure of the Primordial Void Explorer, and then looked at the fragments in its hand that were constantly cracking, its heart was filled with despair and determination.

Now is not the time for sorrow. Only by finding more fragments as soon as possible can we live up to the sacrifice of the Primordial Void Explorer and safeguard the balance of the cosmic sea.

The mechanical core's voice carried a heavy tone: "I will send out mechanical troops to assist the Founding Void Explorer in stalling for time."

"You should leave quickly. I've learned the location of the next fragment through the consciousness of the Primordial Void Explorer: in the 'Life Balance Universe.' The guardian there, the 'Life Core,' might be able to help you repair the fragment's seal."

The merged entity nodded and led the team toward the exit of the mechanical universe.

Behind them, the colorful light of the Primordial Void Explorer and the silver-gray light of the Reset Lord intertwined, bursting out bursts of energy fluctuations. Each fluctuation seemed to be a warning bell for their journey.

At the edge of the mechanical universe, a black energy rift is quietly widening, and from within it comes an energy fluctuation even more terrifying than that of the Reset Lord.

That was “extraterrestrial void energy” from beyond the cosmic sea. It seemed to be attracted by the burst of void reset energy and was slowly approaching the mechanical universe, burying a new and more terrible crisis for this contest concerning the balance of the cosmic sea.
