Chapter 645 The Solution and the Hidden Truth
Chapter 645 The Solution and the Hidden Truth
A massive beam of energy, carrying destructive power, hurtled down like a mountain crashing down. Lin Yu steeled his resolve, shoving Ellie aside and raising his energy shield generator, attempting to withstand the fatal blow. The shield instantly deployed, but trembled violently upon contact with the beam, emitting a groan of unbearable strain, its light flickering unpredictably.
"Lin Yu!" Ellie cried out in terror, her eyes reddening. Seeing this, Xiao Wang and Ze'er turned without hesitation and fired their weapons at the beam of light with all their might, attempting to weaken its power. The other team members reacted quickly as well, unleashing a barrage of energy attacks towards the beam.
Just as the shield was about to shatter, Lin Yu suddenly noticed an extremely subtle change in the energy fluctuations of the beam. He keenly seized this fleeting opening, concentrated his mind, and manipulated the shield generator to adjust its energy frequency, precisely matching the beam's fluctuations. A strange thing happened: the previously unstoppable beam was slowly absorbed by the shield, and the danger was temporarily averted.
"That was close!" Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, his back already soaked with sweat. Ellie ran over and tightly grasped his hand, her eyes filled with worry and lingering fear. "It's alright now, let's continue." Lin Yu patted Ellie's hand reassuringly, gazing at the still perilous virtual starry sky.
By this time, the group had approached the safe zone marked by Ellie, but the surrounding energy beams were becoming increasingly dense, like a tightly woven net of death. Lin Yu skillfully dodged the attacks while pondering a way to break the deadlock. He recalled the ancient civilization images he had seen in the ruins, which seemed to contain clues about energy manipulation; those complex energy lines kept appearing in his mind.
"Listen up, everyone! We can't just keep dodging!" Lin Yu shouted. "Try to guide these energy beams and make them cancel each other out!" Although the team members were a little doubtful, their trust in Lin Yu made them act immediately without hesitation.
Zell used his unique energy guiding device to alter the trajectory of one energy beam, causing it to collide head-on with another. With a loud bang, the two beams exploded in mid-air, releasing a powerful shockwave but also successfully creating a brief safe space. The group seized the opportunity and quickly advanced.
Ellie used a scanner to analyze the characteristics of the energy beams, providing her teammates with precise guidance data. Xiao Wang and the other team members worked closely together, constantly adjusting the direction of the energy beams. For a time, explosions echoed across the virtual starry sky as the energy beams collided, and the situation gradually shifted in their favor.
With everyone's efforts, they finally reached the safe zone. Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, the surrounding scenery changed again; they were back in the mysterious hall, where the energy guardians still stood silently.
"You have passed the test, possessing both courage and wisdom, and are worthy to know the secret." The guardian's voice rang out again, and then the ancient book in the center of the hall slowly opened, and streams of information flowed into everyone's minds like streams of light.
They witnessed a dark force in ancient times, known as the "Erosion," which corrupted all energy and matter, causing galaxies to collapse and civilizations to perish wherever it went. Ancient civilizations, uniting numerous cosmic races, waged a long and arduous war, ultimately sealing the Erosion deep within the universe. This relic is one of the key nodes in this seal, with the energy structure and ancient texts serving as crucial tools for maintaining it.
However, the power of "Dark Eclipse" seems to have recently revived, which is why the energy structure is showing abnormal fluctuations. If the seal completely fails, "Dark Eclipse" will once again sweep across the universe, bringing annihilation.
"So that's it! This is the root of the cosmic crisis!" Lin Yu murmured, his expression grave. Ellie frowned, pondering, "But what exactly caused the 'Dark Eclipse' power to revive? We must find the root cause to completely resolve the crisis."
Zell looked worried: "I have been protecting this area, yet the seal still broke down. I am to blame. But the most urgent task now is to gather our forces and strengthen the seal."
After discussion, the group decided to split into two groups. Lin Yu, Ellie, Xiao Wang, and others returned to the headquarters of the Cosmic Alliance to inform all parties of this astonishing secret and call on everyone to fight against "Dark Eclipse" together; Zell stayed at the ruins to work with the local guardian forces to urgently reinforce the seal.
As Lin Yu and his group embarked on their return journey, they knew that a great battle concerning the survival of the universe was about to begin, and they would become a key force in this war. Unknown hardships and dangers awaited them. Could they turn the tide in this cosmic catastrophe and completely prevent the resurgence of "Dark Eclipse"?
