In the boundless space filled with light, countless runes and images floated. Beams of light were like bridges in the void connecting the huge crystal pillars, intertwining into multiple concentric circles. The huge crystal pillars appeared almost transparent pale gold, which made them look like they were made of light. The entire space was a world of light.
In the center of the multiple concentric circles stood a tall crystal tower. Vivian stood at the top of the crystal tower, staring coldly at the list of runes and holographic images in front of her.
Streams of floating light extended out from her back, one end connected to her spine, and the other end dissipated into the air, faintly resonating with the runes floating in the air. A large number of light streams and runes intertwined, looking like thousands of meters long wings, dazzling and dazzling.
"Creation's Engine activated. Crimson Moon system switching to secondary processing mode. System synchronization rate at 96% …"
"E-type data flow into the highest command node. Control response rate at 100%."
"All systems are in good condition. Basic engine unit limiter removed."
"This is Vivian Ancestor. The Creation's Engine has entered the field. Moonlight blesses everyone."
Vivian's cold and blank gaze faded a little, and her eyes regained their vigor. She took a deep breath and calmed her slightly turbulent mind. Although she had simulated it a few times, activating the Crimson Moon and the Creation's Engine at the same time and integrating the two systems still brought a certain amount of computational burden. Even with the sprites helping with the calculation, she, as the "Queen Node", still had to bear a lot of pressure.
At this time, she had to agree with what Hao Ren had said: A genius was a genius, and there was no reasoning with talented players. A loli goddess who had lost her education, memory, and schizophrenia could actually design such a complicated system … What was her brain made of?
In the stream of light behind Vivian, the sprites popped their heads one by one. These chattering little ones did not know what it meant to be nervous. At that moment, in the center of the Dark Abyss, they were excited. "Queen, Queen! The system is activated! The system is activated! "" Queen, you're awesome! "" Queen, do you want to try turning on all the limiter? That was fun! "" Has anyone seen my psionic regulator? "
Vivian waved her hand. "Now is not the time to fool around. Keep an eye on the various systems — I'm not familiar with them yet. You need to rely on your instincts to control this thing."
The sprites responded in unison. Then, they transformed into streams of light and flew toward the distant crystal pillars that were emitting a faint golden glow. In an instant, the rune array and diagram in front of Vivian became much clearer.
She looked at the holographic projection in front of her, and there, Rheia had her arms spread out as she proudly told the stunned goddess of annihilation, "The real Creation's Engine needs to be sealed!"
Yes, the Creation's Engine needed to be packaged. Even though the blueprints looked like a finished product that could operate independently, in fact, those blueprints were only half of the engine.
The other half was Crimson Moon. Strictly speaking, it was Vivian.
Just like what Rheia had said before, Vivian was the core of all her plans, and those plans included the Yggdrasil Ark, the Weaves of Destiny, the deicidal war, and of course, the Creation's Engine.
After the souls of Hao Ren and Vivian were completed, the most important hidden parts were finally revealed, and that was the "key to the plan" that even Rheia herself had forgotten, and the truth of Vivian's ability to summon the Crimson Moon.
Her Crimson Moon was not an offensive skill, nor was it simply the projection of the Star of Creation. The power of the Crimson Moon was just the attribute it had as a transcendent being. It was not an essence at all. The essence of the Crimson Moon was actually the "vessel" of the Creation's Engine.
And Vivian was not only the highest node of the Weaves of Destiny, she was also the controller of the Creation's Engine, and the engine's command source.
Without this command source, the Creation's Engine could operate with just the Gilded Disc (or the Heart of God), but it could only operate as an autonomous weapon. Only when Vivian was connected to the engine's control system as the "Queen's Node" would the divine relic be complete.
In fact, Rheia had planned this step when she designed the Creation's Engine. The Creation's Engine would not be destroyed after completing its "mission", and it would become Vivian's backup vessel, the "mobile server" of the Weaves of Destiny, and if the Heart of Destiny ever failed, the Creation's Engine would be the new Heart of Destiny.
But these plans were no longer important, and the important thing was that the complete version of the Creation's Engine had finally been activated, and it had completely suppressed the dark star that the goddess of annihilation had built.
"How dare you …" The pale Evil God glared at the Crimson Moon that had completely descended. Although the latter was still blood-red, there was a hint of golden radiance in the blood-red color from time to time, which gave it a sense of sacredness. "To create this thing, you deceived yourself?!"
Rheia was nonchalant. "Against an opponent like you who is good at digging holes in the mind, isn't it normal to deceive yourself?"
"Don't think you've won just like that!" The goddess of annihilation was furious. "I have now merged with the Mad Lord, and its power is my power! Not only you can become stronger, but here, I am stronger than all of you! "
Following the goddess of annihilation's rage, the dark star that had been suppressed by the Crimson Moon, Creation's Engine and was beginning to crumble started operating again, and the chaotic forces from all over the Dark Abyss surged into the already out of control star of disaster, forcing it to break free from the control of the Crimson Moon, Creation's Engine.
The dimension started to rumble again, and at the same time, Hao Ren received an urgent report from the MDT.
"Emergency at all defense lines! The Mad Lord's activity is increasing rapidly. The Overwatch Bastion has fallen, the S-4 defense line has fallen, and the droid army's 172nd to 268th echelons have been wiped out!
"The guardian fleet is retreating to the second bastion cluster to rebuild the defense line.
"Valkyrie has sent a message. Corruption points have appeared on all ecosystems, and the largest invasion has begun!"
Rheia opened her hand and directed the light of the Crimson Moon to focus around the dark star as she tried to suppress the rampaging festered divine artifact. "If you do this, your 'Annihilation Engine' will self-destruct in a few hours!"
"But before the engine self-destructs, I can spread the power of chaos across the entire universe … The world that you cherish, you will not be able to protect it …" The pale figure charged at Rheia. "And before that, I will finish you off first!"
The two gods once again began their grand clash, and the pale power of chaos and the pale golden divine runes continued to form a base in the universe, and in the blink of an eye, they collided and destroyed each other. In just a few short minutes, the entire universe seemed to have experienced countless rebirths and annihilation.
Matter was created, and then returned to nothingness, order was established, and then destroyed by chaos. Space and time rose and fell as they tangled together, and almost crushed all the ancient wreckage floating in the universe.
Even Nolan, who was hiding in the wreckage, had to start moving around to avoid the dissipating power of chaos.
And Hao Ren … he just held the two longswords in his hands as he watched the progress of the battle, but he had no intention of joining in.
Under the collision of the two gods, the only things that could still be used were the two divine artifacts, the Dark Star, Annihilation Engine, and the Crimson Moon, Creation's Engine. But these two artificial celestial bodies were also holding each other back, and had no spare energy to support either side.
Under the pull and tearing of the powerful forces, the crust of the dark star split open into countless large wounds, and the swollen flesh and metal flowed out as if they were melting. And the Crimson Moon was not unscathed either, as waves of crimson rose and fell on its surface, and the originally still "lifeblood sea" seemed to be boiling, and in the midst of the waves, there was a pale golden, ethereal object flashing across.
The pale golden silhouette was the Creation's Engine, and whenever the synchronization rate of the Crimson Moon and the Creation's Engine dropped, the fusion between the two would weaken, and the Creation's Engine would be revealed. And the more golden silhouettes appeared, the more unstable the Crimson Moon was.
While the complete Creation's Engine was powerful, Vivian was not familiar with its control, and with the goddess of annihilation using the power of madness to forcefully "catalyze" the dark engine, it made the battle between the two extremely difficult.
"The synchronization rate has dropped to 70%! Queen, Queen, think of something! "
"The data is too much! I'm going to faint! "
The voices of the sprites echoed in the mental link, reporting all sorts of bad news. Vivian tried her best to calm them down, and told them that the dark star was collapsing faster than the Crimson Moon, and it would be the first to fall.
The sprites calmed down a little, but Vivian did not feel relaxed at all, because she knew that the fate of the universe was not just decided by the battle between the Creation's Engine and the Annihilation's Engine.
She could not help but look to the side, and there was an independent holographic projection, and on it was Hao Ren's figure.
An inconspicuous progress bar was slowly moving below the projection.
And in space, as a large number of golden divine runes shattered, Rheia and the goddess of annihilation's figures once again solidified.
They suddenly separated and faced each other from afar, and the pages and divine runes floating around Rheia were much lesser than before, and strands of golden-red blood floated around her. The goddess of annihilation also had wounds of various sizes, but what flowed out of them was not blood, but puffs of black smoke.
Rheia's voice suddenly rang in Hao Ren's mind. "Bloody hell, this one is harder to deal with than I thought."
Hao Ren immediately asked, "Can you trap her for now?"
"Yes, but what's your plan?"
"The first line of defense controlled by the Overwatch Bastion is collapsing, and all the droids and guardian fleets are retreating to the second line of defense. So I plan to use the remaining Annihilation Lances in the first line of defense."
"It's so far away, will it work?"
"Since it's the last shot, can't we just remove all the limiters?"
"… Alright, that's your style. Let's do it!"
Divine power surged around Rheia once again as she prepared for the next round of attack, while Hao Ren called out to Nolan through the mental link. "Nolan, can the beacon system still be used?"
"What I blew up was my kidneys, not my brains. Of course it's working!"
"Very well, later you'll guide the Annihilation Lances. I'm going for a long-range projectile."
