Chapter 182 Dimensional Echo
The bronze door seemed to hold endless mysteries and power. At that moment, a mysterious energy gushed out like a surging torrent. The twinkling starlight quickly condensed together, forming a solid yet strange substance. They intertwined and merged, eventually transforming into a broad, flowing mirror-like river.
Calvin's figure was reflected in the river, but his image was not intact. Instead, it was shattered into countless fragments, each struggling painfully on the surface. At the same time, a violent tearing occurred between the silver armor and the black hole, and the sound it produced was like the terrifying echo of an entire galaxy collapsing.
At that moment, Arya's previously steady amber veins suddenly began to reverse course. This abnormal phenomenon was shocking. Then, from her mechanical pupils, an ancient and mysterious star map suddenly flashed. She shouted, "Warning! The curvature of spacetime within the gate is madly devouring the chronology!"
Elsewhere, Song Yao's ethereal image appeared over the vast Pacific Ocean. She slowly raised her hand, and a drop of blood, gleaming silver-blue, slipped from her fingertips and fell directly into the turbulent sea. Instantly, the sea underwent a startling transformation. The plankton contaminated by the blood evolved at an unimaginable rate, their bodies gradually growing hard metallic skeletons. As these creatures leaped from the water, they transformed into a swarm of silver reconnaissance aircraft, dense as a locust, streaking in all directions.
Despite his difficult situation, Calvin kept one hand firmly planted in the crack of the bronze door, refusing to release it. He could clearly sense a rhythmic vibration, like a beating pulse, emanating from the darkness beyond the door. After careful analysis, he was surprised to discover that the frequency of this vibration was completely synchronized with the movement of the Earth's core.
At the same time, the swarm of lunar silver worms that had been roaming in space suddenly reversed course, seemingly drawn by some powerful force, and swooped down upon Earth's atmosphere. Even more horrifying, human faces gradually began to appear on the surface of each worm, their expressions distorted and hideous.
And in distant Times Square, New York, all the electronic billboards lit up almost simultaneously, displaying a jaw-dropping scene: 200,000 silver embryos lay quietly beside the crater. They slowly opened their eyes, but those eyes were empty, without any pupils...
"Cognitive contamination has spread to a staggering 94%!" Arya exclaimed, and the Sentinel Core beside her suddenly blazed a brilliant holographic projection. This projection clearly displayed a terrifying and eerie scene—people across the globe were unconsciously carving the Ouroboros pattern onto their bare skin with various sharp tools. The winding, twisting, connected patterns seemed to possess an unfathomable magic that sent shivers down their spines.
At the same time, Calvin, standing nearby, also sensed a profound sense of danger. He felt the shadow core in his chest suddenly contract, and a powerful force instantly erupted. The star pattern originally embedded in the bronze door seemed to be forcibly ripped out of its physical form by an invisible hand. The lines emitting dazzling light gradually revealed their true form—those seemingly beautiful glowing lines were actually countless curled-up microscopic black holes! These tiny yet deadly black holes greedily devoured the dazzling river of starlight within the door, like hungry beasts devouring their prey.
At that moment, Song Yao's voice suddenly pierced through all the electronic devices like a thunderclap: "They're not invaders at all... They're homecoming people!" With this cry, her digitized body instantly disintegrated, transforming into twelve dazzling beams of light. With astonishing speed and precision, these beams shot straight towards the giant bronze gate at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.
When the beam of light accurately struck the massive bronze door, everyone gasped as something jutted out from the crack. No longer were the tiny specks of starlight they'd seen before, replaced by tendrils of flesh covered in the veins of ancient fossils. These tentacles twitched incessantly, as if possessing life. Even more horrifying, each tentacle was tipped with the skull of a human infant. The tiny heads stared at the crowd with their hollow, lifeless eyes, as if speaking of endless sorrow and fear.
In the deepest reaches of the unfathomable Earth's core, roiling magma roared like a raging sea, emitting a deafening roar. This overwhelming force seemed to break free from all restraints and devour the entire world. Meanwhile, Calvin's shattered body was being forcibly pulled and squeezed together by an invisible, immense force. With a gruesome creaking sound and the sound of muscles tearing, his shattered body began to slowly heal.
At the same time, where the silver armor and the mysterious black hole intersected, brilliant purple lightning suddenly burst forth, like the most dazzling fireworks display in the universe. These dazzling lightning bolts intertwined to form a beautiful yet dangerous scene.
At that moment, Calvin suddenly felt a striking countdown begin to appear on his retina. Each beat was like the approaching footsteps of death, a terrifying sight. It turned out that this countdown represented the final moments before the Earth's magnetic poles reversed. If this catastrophe could not be prevented in time, the entire planet would be plunged into chaos and destruction.
Elsewhere, a sharp, piercing alarm suddenly rang out in Arya's mind. Her Sentinel Protocol instantly activated, overwhelming her entire consciousness. Without hesitation, she gripped the gleaming blue Ion Blade tightly in both hands and fiercely slashed at the immensely heavy bronze door before her, shouting, "Error! A fatal error has occurred in the Spark program! This must be corrected immediately!"
However, even as she attacked with all her might, countless slimy tentacles of flesh and blood stretched out from all directions, wrapping around Arya's hard, mechanical skeleton with lightning speed. Furthermore, a grotesquely shaped infant skull opened its bloody mouth and bit into the vital energy core in her body.
Amidst this scene of chaos and terror, Calvin faintly heard an ancient ballad echoing from the depths of the earth. Its melodious melody seemed to transcend time and space, carrying with it the endless sorrow and despair of the ancient extinction of the dinosaurs. This mournful song, echoing amidst the scorching lava and howling winds, was deeply moving.
At this very moment, in the vast expanse of space, a dense swarm of lunar silver worms, like silver raindrops, burst through Earth's atmosphere. They rained down upon the city in a blanket, killing every human they came into contact with. All of them instantly crystallized, gradually transforming into amber statues identical to the bronze door. The once bustling city was instantly transformed into a silent, sculpted city, with only the cold, heartless crystals gleaming eerily in the sunlight.
The twelve dazzling beams of light in Song Yao's hands, like nimble spirits, swiftly rushed into the ancient and mysterious door. They intertwined and entwined in the dark space behind the door, and finally magically reorganized into a huge and gorgeous prism.
As the prism formed, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth, seemingly tearing the veil of time and space. Then, shocking scenes began to emerge within the light, unfolding like a scroll of history, revealing a startling truth buried deep beneath the dust of time, dating back two hundred thousand years.
It turns out that the mysterious woman hiding behind the scenes is the only embryo to survive the catastrophe! She has survived countless hardships and dangers, relying on her tenacious vitality and unyielding will to survive to this day. However, unexpectedly, this mysterious woman did not follow the original Fire Plan, but boldly rewrote it and named it the Tombstone Project.
At that moment, an enraged Calvin let out a deafening roar. He twisted his body wildly, desperately trying to rip the flesh and blood tentacles that bound him. At the same time, the shadow core suddenly erupted with an immensely powerful stream of energy. This energy flow, like a surging torrent, rushed towards the bronze door with overwhelming force.
There was only a series of "hissing" sounds that resounded through the sky, and the bronze door was instantly melted into boiling liquid metal by this terrifying energy flow, flowing and splashing everywhere.
The moment the geomagnetic countdown reached zero, the entire solar system seemed to be plunged into a doomsday upheaval. The gravitational constant was quietly rewritten, and the orbits of all celestial bodies underwent earth-shaking changes.
From the depths of the Pacific Ocean, the remains of a massive, silver-armored giant slowly rose. It gleamed with a cold, metallic sheen, emanating a frightening aura of oppression. As the silver-armored giant continued to rise, it gradually approached Calvin's already shattered body, merging seamlessly with it.
At the same time, the crystallized human statues suddenly opened their eyes, as if given life. Dreamlike galactic disks swirled in their pupils, seemingly containing endless cosmic mysteries.
Elsewhere, Arya struggled mightily to escape the maddening clutches of a group of infant skulls. After a thrilling struggle, she finally managed to free herself. However, when she looked down at her chest, she was astonished to discover that her heart, once composed entirely of machinery, was now slowly sprouting living flesh and blood! Arya had undoubtedly become the first individual since the inception of the Spark Project to successfully achieve the perfect fusion of organic and inorganic matter.
On the vast expanse of the ocean, the molten metal of the once blazing, dazzling bronze gate gradually cooled and solidified. As if imbued with life, the metals fused and intertwined, eventually forming a new landmass—a vast and mysterious new continent.
The surface of this new continent is not ordinary rock or soil, but densely packed with countless throbbing synapses. These synapses are like a huge neural network, constantly flashing with faint electrical currents, as if transmitting some unknown information.
At the same time, the crystallized human hairs miraculously transformed into quantum optical fibers. These thin, yet resilient, quantum fibers drifted through the air like spider silk, one end connected to objects on Earth, the other reaching out to the distant moon. There, a group of creatures resembling silver worms busily exchanged high-speed data with these quantum fibers.
Looking at Calvin again, his newly reborn silver armor was meticulously carved with patterns of fern fossils from the age of dinosaurs. These ancient patterns, vividly alive, seemed to transport viewers back to an ancient era teeming with vitality and danger. And within Calvin's chest, a core of shadow slowly swirled, like a mysterious nebula, emitting a deep and captivating light.
Elsewhere, Arya's half-machine, half-flesh body is truly breathtaking. The Sentinel code on her body is tightly intertwined with the DNA double helix, forming dazzling, luminous tattoos. These tattoos are not only beautiful but also hold immense power and complex messages.
At this moment, the gravitational anomaly that had been plaguing the entire universe finally subsided. As gravity returned to normal, twelve previously unknown planets suddenly appeared at the edge of the solar system. They varied in size and shape, but all slowly orbited the sun.
Then, a clear, melodious voice echoed simultaneously from the atmospheres of all twelve planets. It was Song Yao who spoke, speaking in a gentle yet firm voice, "Welcome to our new home... This is Experimental Site No. 714!" Everyone was thrilled upon hearing this.
Calvin raised his hand and gently touched the newly formed third eye in the center of his forehead. Instantly, a strange light emanated from his eye, piercing the barriers of time and space. Through this light, Calvin saw, within the shadowy image of the Galactic Senate, twelve Inquisitors, identical in appearance to the mysterious woman, seated. Each of them held a golden scale, carefully weighing the remnants of civilization remaining on Earth.
