The main storyline finally ushered in the moment when it was pushed forward.
After Thorne received a full set of top-notch equipment from Jiang Qiao, he displayed a strength that far exceeded that of when he fought against Caramel on the Path of Ascension.
With Thorne's help, the difficulty of the Perpetual Sanctuary's core area was reduced by several times, and Sprite led the assault team to successfully enter the core area.
When this special assault team arrived at the core area, the figure in front of everyone was Rose.
Behind Rose floated a huge pale golden ball of light, and in the depths of the ball's core, there were some faint mechanical structures. Rose turned around and looked at the Holy Spirit team that had slaughtered their way over, as well as Thorne who stood in front of all the Holy Spirits.
"You're here?" The moment Rose turned around, Thorne's figure had already disappeared.
In less than a second, Thorne appeared in front of Rose, unsheathed the Sword of Fire that Jiang Qiao had bestowed upon him, and slashed at Rose's neck.
But this slash did not cause blood to splatter. Instead, sparks and faint green light particles burst forth from Thorne's blade.
Caramel … was one step ahead of Thorne's slash.
"Are you crazy now?!"
From the start, Caramel did not fully trust this Eternal. After all, he was an existence that dared to assassinate Queen Mey in front of all the players.
Therefore, although Caramel respected Thorne, she did not treat him as one of her own.
"…"
Thorne did not respond to Caramel's question, as the core of the Perpetual Sanctuary behind Caramel gradually began to mutate.
The pale golden core of the sanctuary was shrouded in dark purple, and the entire interior of the sanctuary suddenly underwent a drastic change. The originally metallic walls were dyed with dark purple scales and shells.
A large amount of mucosa-like substance appeared above the space, and the interior of the sanctuary that should have been a pile of mechanical constructs seemed to have been bestowed with life at this moment.
This should have been the infection ability of the abyssal mutation, which was the ability to transform living organisms and non-living organisms into abyssal creatures.
However, the dark purple swamp that was spreading into the surroundings at that moment told everyone that this was the power of the Void Insects.
A human figure appeared in the core of the Sanctum. The core of the Sanctum floating in the air was like a womb. The energy structure formed mucous membranes and amniotic fluid, and a new creature was born from it.
Thorne did not wait for the creature in the core of the Perpetual Sanctuary to be born.
"Lend me your sword!" Thorne shouted at Caramel.
Caramel stared blankly for a moment, but she quickly understood what Thorne meant. Caramel waved her Moonlight Sword like a baseball bat. Thorne stepped on Caramel's sword and rushed toward the figure in the core.
At this moment, the burning sword in Thorne's hand erupted with scorching flames.
The power of the God of Devourer burned the mucous membrane and amniotic fluid, and Thorne stabbed the creature in the core of the Perpetual Sanctuary!
A mournful cry accompanied by blood splattering out of the core echoed throughout the Sanctum.
Thorne did not stop waving his sword. The moment his blade touched the creature in the core, Thorne pulled out another sword that Jiang Qiao had given him …
At this moment, no one present could see the sword in this Eternal's hand clearly. Even Caramel could only see a blurry shadow. She felt as if the entire space was filled with sharp blades … They were blown up by the storm and scattered to every corner of this narrow space.
In just three short seconds, every inch of this narrow space containing the core could be seen with a bottomless sword mark. Only the place occupied by the Holy Spirit was unscathed.
The blood of the creature in the Perpetual Sanctuary's core was also like a torrential rain, scattered to every corner of the Sanctum along with the sword shadow.
Thorne's slashing motion stopped when the two longswords in his hands shattered due to their durability reaching zero. The blades shattered into pieces with a crisp sound.
The moment Thorne's attack ended, the creature in the core regained consciousness. She grabbed the broken blades and pierced one of them into Thorne's abdomen.
The terrifying power turned into a hurricane that erupted with her as the center. Thorne couldn't withstand the assault of this power and directly lost his balance and was thrown to the ground.
Fortunately, Caramel was quick to grab Thorne's collar, preventing him from falling into the bottomless abyss below the core of the Sanctum.
[Thorne the Immortal] (Level: 95, Lord) HP 11455/150000 (Level: 95, Lord)
"
"Why didn't you dodge!"
Caramel loudly questioned Thorne again. Thorne could have easily dodged her attack, but he didn't … It was like a suicide attack.
At this moment, scarlet blood had already dyed Thorne's abdomen red. He lay on the ground, but his gaze was fixed on the figure in the core.
"As expected, it's still too much for me to rely on this … Holy Spirit's power to kill you."
Thorne muttered to himself. The moment he finished speaking, the light from the core was completely absorbed by the creature inside.
Caramel wanted to ask more, but a feeling he had never felt since playing the Holy Spirit rose in his heart.
Fear!
Caramel didn't understand where this feeling came from. He had never felt fear since playing the Holy Spirit game. Whether it was against Queen Mey or Thorne, Caramel only had the thought of winning.
But at this moment, his whole body was enveloped by an emotion called fear. This feeling made Caramel instinctively raise his head to look at the creature that was born in the core.
It was the figure of a woman. From the outside, it looked like a very ordinary human female. But … the extremely long HP bar that appeared in front of Caramel and the results of Detection revealed the terror of this creature.
[Sublimator Isadeline
Level: 130
Star Map Lord
HP: 89211418085/95000000000
Race: God of Flames, Void Worm, Eternal, Abyssal Aberration, Creature from the Outer World
Description: When you see this line of words, the GM suggests that you … run!
"
What the hell is this?
A Level 130 monster?
Ninety-five billion HP?
What the hell is this?
At this moment, Caramel felt as if he had … transmigrated to a dungeon after the third or fifth version of the Holy Spirit game.
It was common for Holy Spirit players to challenge monsters of a higher level, but the problem was that 95 billion HP was ridiculous.
What should I do?
Do I really have to fight?
Caramel felt that it was necessary to call all the players in the server over. This Boss had to stand still to have a chance of winning!
Just as Caramel and Sprite were enveloped by the strange Fear Field, the extremely weakened Thorne … broke the silence.
"What … are you still standing there for?
The space-time lock … has been broken by me, "said Thorne.
The Perpetual Sanctuary's teleportation lock has been broken?
Wasn't Thorne trying to kill this Boss just now?
The moment the news spread, the mothers-to-be in the party instantly entered a state of fighting spirit. However, their fighting spirit did not last long.
The mechanical parts of the Perpetual Sanctuary began to distort. These mechanical parts turned into strange Void Worms, surrounding Sprite's party.
"This is troublesome." Just as Sprite was thinking about how to retreat, the space suddenly shattered.
It was not the Annihilation Army that shattered the space in this area, but a giant ship!
A pirate ship directly smashed through the space inside the Perpetual Sanctuary and broke into it.
"The Laughing Goddess!" The healer recognized the name of the giant pirate ship at a glance.
It was the strongest warship under Madam Disaster's command!
After breaking through the space, the Laughing Goddess used its hull to ram into the Void Worms that surrounded the party.
"Where are my babies?
Holy Spirit, answer me!
Where are my children? "
Madam Disaster jumped off the ship and asked the Holy Spirits in a loud voice.
"The teleportation coordinates can be used?
I can take you there, "Sprite said. Even with Madam Disaster's help, they had no choice but to retreat in this situation.
Even with the help of all the Holy Spirit players, they had been dragged into the heart of the enemy's territory. Fighting here would only lead to death!
Therefore, the answer given by Sprite was to save the babies and run away.
"Then hurry up!" Madam Disaster put her hand on Sprite's shoulder.
At this moment, Sprite could feel the insufferably arrogant Pirate Queen trembling uncontrollably. Even she had times when she was afraid.
Sprite began to cast a teleportation spell that was commonly used by Wizards, but the surrounding Void Worms had already pounced on them.
What greeted the Void Worms was a Heavenly Fire Blast and an unparalleled Spear Qi that tore through the sky.
"I can finally say that. Let the girls and children go first." Air Bubble appeared out of nowhere and winked at Sprite.
Sprite's expression did not change. She simply kicked Air Bubble from behind … and walked into the teleportation gate.
"Why did you kick me?!" Air Bubble loudly complained to Sprite as he fell to the ground.
However, no one responded to Air Bubble. Swirling Remnant Cloud pushed Madam Disaster from behind.
"Leave this to us," Swirling Remnant Cloud said.
Madam Disaster, who originally wanted to stay, glanced at Swirling Remnant Cloud and walked into the teleportation gate.
On the other side, Mo Shigui also saw Nancy, whom he had not seen in the game for almost half a month.
However … Nancy was now in the state of the Incarnation of Sin. Her anger and the joy of being able to return with her babies had caused her to go completely berserk. The surrounding Void Worms that were pouncing on her were pierced by her barbs.
"Go get the children!" Nancy turned around and yelled at Mo Shigui when she was halfway through her slaughter.
Mo Shigui opened his mouth. If it was in real life, Nancy would basically listen to her, and in the game, Nancy would always be Caicai's nanny behind her.
But now it seemed … Mo Shigui could no longer underestimate his fiancée.
Mo Shigui did not argue with Nancy. He turned around and ran into the teleportation gate that Sprite had opened.
However, the combat power of the Void Zerg summoned by the Sublime Body far exceeded Nancy's imagination. It was far more troublesome than the Eternal Sanctum Pursuers. Nancy could barely deal with one, but now she was surrounded by an entire group of Void Zergs.
When Nancy was in trouble, Qi Junzi's figure appeared in front of her. He drew his sword and cut off the heads of two worms.
"You shouldn't force yourself at a time like this."
Qi Junzi had also become familiar with Nancy during her time in the Sanctum. She knew that Nancy was a very weak girl in real life.
Qi Junzi sheathed her sword. When she wanted to continue the chase, she found that her body was also very weak. Or rather, she was tired. She had just finished a challenge of the Trial of Strength not long ago!
But when Qi Junzi was a little unsteady … she was once again supported by a very familiar hand gesture.
"You too."
Zhao Mingwei held Qi Junzi's arm and said, "Jun Ru, you should go offline and rest first. This instance dungeon should be just a formality."
"Formality?
Hey! "
While Qi Junzi was thinking about this, she seemed to see someone fall from the bridge next to her. In the next second, Wanxiang, who was near Qi Junzi, also saw someone fall into the abyss below.
Wanxiang instantly put away the Death Prayer in her hand and jumped into the abyss beside the bridge. The moment she jumped down, she fixed Hawkeye's most commonly used means of movement, called a hook, on the edge of the bridge. At the same time, she grabbed the clumsy player, Hai Lan.
Hai Lan was a little confused when she was caught by Wanxiang. From the moment the Sublime Body appeared, she was in a somewhat trance state. Some messy memories poured into her mind, making it difficult for Hai Lan to accept.
"You … wake up."
When Wanxiang called out to Hai Lan, a group of flying void worms had already attacked the two people hanging on the bridge.
Hai Lan covered her forehead and came back from the messy memories. When she came back to her senses, she directly used her ability to create mages and created several walls made of energy in front of those void worms.
Those void worms passed through the walls and directly turned into charcoal … But there were too many of them, until a creature called the Elf King appeared in front of them.
"I say … Don't slack off at such a critical moment, okay?"
Jiang Qiao's voice came from the Elf King. The Fire Spirit directly grabbed Wanxiang's collar with one hand and Hai Lan's collar with the other, and lifted them onto the bridge.
"I'm just a little out of sorts. By the way, Jiang Qiao, I seem to know that guy!"
The moment Hai Lan said this, Jiang Qiao covered Hai Lan's mouth with the Fire Spirit.
"Do you want milk?
If your brain is not working, I can give you a blessing of strength. "The mobile milk vendor happened to pass by.
"Uh … Let's not do that for now. This instance dungeon seems to be closing soon."
Jiang Qiao's gaze turned to the Sublime Body in the distance. Now was not the time for the Holy Spirit to fight with this guy …
So Jiang Qiao's decision was to escape!
Everyone escape!
The babies had been saved, and what happened to the old Perpetual Sanctuary had nothing to do with Jiang Qiao!
After the Players rescued their babies, Jiang Qiao would forcibly teleport all the Players out of this instance dungeon.
And now … there was probably only one who was still unwilling to leave this damned place.
That was Rose.
Rose was now outside of all the chaos, and the roars of the Void Zergs and the killing of the Holy Spirit seemed to have nothing to do with her.
Now, in Rose's line of sight, there was only the gentle sunlight and a figure under the sunlight.
That was her mother, Isderlin, whom she had not seen for who knows how many years.
In Rose's memory, only her childhood with her mother was happy and relaxed. After being forced to separate from her mother and being adopted by Alma, the Divine Spear.
High-intensity combat training and the killing of the Void Zergs occupied her entire life.
That was why Rose had always missed her previous life. Now that her mother was standing in front of her again, all she needed to do was walk up and hold her mother's hand.
In Rose's consciousness and eyes, there was only her mother's figure.
Everything in front of her was like fragrant honey, making Rose feel comfortable and satisfied.
Rose walked step by step towards her mother, wanting to touch the sunlight and warmth in her memory, but her vision was suddenly shrouded in darkness.
Rose's eyes were covered by someone. At this moment, Rose wanted to struggle, but the strength of the person behind her was beyond her imagination.
"Let me go!" Rose shouted uncontrollably, but a familiar voice rang in her ear.
"I'm here to pick you up, Miss Rose."
It was Boss Yin's voice!
She didn't know when Boss Yin had appeared behind Rose and covered her eyes with his hand. Now, Boss Yin raised his head and saw … the Zerg nest covered in sinister carapaces and sticky limbs.
Rose was walking towards this terrifying Zerg nest.
"Let me go …" Rose's struggle became smaller, and her voice seemed to be sobbing.
"Half a year ago, you escaped from my hands once." Boss Yin stared at the Zerg nest in the distance and said in a low voice, "I won't let you escape this time."
