Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 632 Core Defense and the Player's Dual Calculations (2)

But the fluctuations in the marks don't lie—as the mark of the leader of the red light spots was purified, the mark of the enforcer leader also showed slight disturbances, clearly indicating that the two were controlled by the same source, the chess player.

The Guardian seized this fleeting opportunity, seamlessly fusing the four-colored energies with the energy of the evolutionary protective layer. These two powerful energies intertwined and collided in an instant, ultimately converging into a dazzling "consciousness probe."

This "consciousness probe" pierced through the enforcer commander's indestructible armor with astonishing speed, like lightning, and went straight for the mark on his body.

"We are not the enemy!" The Guardian's voice echoed in the mind of the Enforcer Commander. "The chess player is the mastermind behind everything! He allowed the dictator to rule the higher dimensions, and made us rebel. All of this was just a scheme he set up for his own evolutionary game!"

The moment the "consciousness probe" struck the mark with perfect accuracy, the enforcer commander's body suddenly trembled violently. His body trembled uncontrollably, as if struck by a powerful force.

At the same time, countless memories that had been deeply suppressed in his subconscious surged forth from his mind like a raging torrent.

These memories flashed before his eyes like a movie: he saw himself as a "rebel" from a higher dimension, bravely fighting against the dictator; however, he was ultimately captured by the dictator and had that mark implanted by the chess player.

From that moment on, his fate underwent a dramatic change. He was no longer the brave "rebel," but was transformed into a "law enforcement leader," becoming a tool for the chess player to manipulate dictators and low-dimensional alliances.

"I...I remember!" The voice of the law enforcement commander was filled with shock and disbelief. He finally remembered his true identity and his past as a pawn.

The once indestructible black armor now bore jagged cracks on the enforcer commander's body, as if it had been forcibly torn apart by a powerful force. With the appearance of these cracks, a pale golden light erupted from them, like a long-suppressed volcano finally finding an outlet to erupt.

"The chess player... he deceived me!" The voice of the law enforcement commander was filled with pain and anger. "He said he would help me overthrow the dictator and make me the leader of freedom, but in reality, I was just a pawn in his game!"

This sudden turn of events stunned the surrounding law enforcement officers. They stared at the cracks on the commander's body and the surging pale golden energy, momentarily at a loss. However, what followed was even more shocking—as the commander transformed, faint silver marks began to appear on some of the law enforcement officers' bodies, marks that were clearly traces of being manipulated by some force.

Clearly, these law enforcers, like the leader, had become pawns in the game, controlled by him. Amidst this chaos, only a few law enforcers remained loyal to the dictator, continuing their attacks on the protective layer without hesitation, seemingly unaffected by the leader's change of heart.

"Enforcers who are willing to break free from the control of the chess player, lay down your weapons!" The voice of the enforcement commander echoed through the crowd like a booming bell. His energy of resistance erupted completely at this moment, forming a dazzling "wave of awareness" that swept across all the enforcers like a powerful storm.

"Our enemies are not the low-dimensional alliance, but the chess players and dictators!" The commander's voice echoed through the light waves. "Join the alliance, fight against manipulation, and reclaim our freedom!"

Most of the manipulated law enforcers lowered their energy spears, and their black armor gradually dissipated, revealing their original forms—among them were beings from previously destroyed dimensional groups, fellow wanderers of the same kind as the red light spots, and even members from other dimensional groups oppressed by dictators.

Only ten loyal followers remained, still putting up a stubborn resistance, but were eventually subdued by the combined efforts of the alliance members and imprisoned in the evolutionary protective layer.

"We... succeeded!"

The fused entity, radiating excitement, transmitted the message of "the Enforcers' defection" to all Alliance dimensional groups via the repaired communication array: "The Alliance is stronger! We now have enough power to fight against dictators and pawns!"

The guardian did not relax. His four-colored energy sensed that a strong silver energy was rapidly gathering in the depths of the multidimensional group's void—the intensity of this energy far exceeded all the previous silver energies. Clearly, the chess player had personally intervened after learning that the plan had failed!

"The chess player is coming!"

The Guardian's expression was grave. He looked at the surrounding Alliance members, including the defector enforcers, and said, "He won't allow us to break free of his control. He will definitely use even greater power to regain control of the game! We must quickly integrate the Alliance's strength and build a 'cross-dimensional defense array' to prepare for the player's attack!"

Without hesitation, the alliance members began to act swiftly: the defector enforcers shared higher-dimensional defensive techniques; the space-folding dimensional group constructed a rapid transfer channel; the energy-converting dimensional group stored defensive energy; and the red light leader led its kind to continue purifying the marks on their bodies, attempting to find a way to completely break free from the chess player's control.

Just as the cross-dimensional defense array was about to be completed, the void of the multidimensional group suddenly darkened.

A massive silver phantom emerged from the void, its form similar to the previous silver puppet, yet exuding an aura of absolute control—this was the chess player's "consciousness projection." Though not the physical body, it released energy powerful enough to suppress the entire alliance.

"An interesting form of resistance."

The chess player's voice carried a cold laugh, "You think you can change the game by breaking free from control? How naive."

The dictator is merely a 'pawn manager' I've placed in a higher dimension; and you are my chosen 'evolutionary test subjects'—your resistance will only make the experiment more interesting, and the evolutionary game more 'spectacular'.

In the phantom's hand, a "silver chessboard" appeared. On the chessboard, next to the pieces representing the multidimensional group, there was a black "elimination" mark: "Now, the experiment is entering its final stage - I will close the 'dimensional exit' of the multidimensional group and let you fight against the upcoming 'dictator's main force'."

If you win, you become the new 'chess piece managers'; if you lose, the entire dimensional group will be reset and become 'fuel' for the next round of experiments.

Before the words were even finished, a silver "dimensional barrier" suddenly appeared at the edge of the multidimensional cluster, completely sealing off all dimensional exits and preventing the alliance members from escaping; at the same time, a strong black energy fluctuation came from a higher dimension – the dictator's main force, carrying "dimensional destruction weapons," was rapidly approaching the multidimensional cluster, clearly also part of the chess player's plan.

"The chess player... he took us as his real opponent."
