The system is four years ahead of schedule, but Weird is still a cub.

Chapter 570 Reencounter with the Power of the World
An atmosphere of despair, like an icy tide, once again engulfed everyone.

Camille and Xiaoqi protected Cheng's mother, Shirley held the unconscious Sally tightly, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Shen Ge, their only hope.

"Little Seven! One more time!" Shen Ge's voice was resolute, filled with a do-or-die determination. He once again began to frantically unleash his demonic energy, determined to neutralize and collide with the red mist demonic energy released by Little Seven, creating a powerful neutralization effect against the oncoming storm of demonic energy, attempting to break the deadlock by distorting space.

"Understood!" Xiao Qi responded instantly.

The next second, Shen Ge poured the little bit of ghost energy he had just recovered into the Red Mist Armor without reservation. The ghost energy and the red mist ghost energy clashed and twisted, causing the surrounding air to vibrate.

The main body of Xiaoqi's Crimson Mist Armor suddenly lit up with a dazzling scarlet light, and dozens of blood-rotting tentacles, which were originally used to fix and drag people, danced and intertwined wildly as if they had a life of their own!
Chi Chi Chi -!
The sound of flesh and blood multiplying continued, and more putrid blood gushed out from the crimson mist armor. The tentacles merged, expanded, and hardened, and in an instant, they formed a huge scarlet cocoon above and around everyone's heads, composed of writhing dark red flesh and tough bones.

This cocoon was thicker and more condensed than the one it had passed through the bizarre energy storm before, and its surface was covered with a layer of dark red energy membrane that was constantly flowing and shimmering with a metallic luster.

It was like a giant, deformed egg, tightly enveloping Shen Ge, Xiao Qi, and all the survivors!
"Hold on tight!" Shen Ge's voice came through the thick cocoon walls, sounding somewhat muffled.

At the same time, the distorted energy storm created by Shen Ge erupted above, colliding with the energy storm raging in the strange space, producing an even more violent tremor.

This undoubtedly exacerbated the collapse of the strange space, but it also successfully reversed the erosive direction of the strange energy storm coming from the sky.

Furthermore, with Xiao Qi's scarlet cocoon working in conjunction with Shen Ge's invisible barrier for defense, the resulting turbulence did not harm Shen Ge and the others.

Just as more turbulent currents were heading towards the Crimson Cocoon, in the next second, Xiao Qi controlled the sub-armor's core engine to run at overclock. The entire Crimson Cocoon shuddered violently, as if it had been launched out by a tremendous force. It traveled at high speed through the maze-like passageway formed by the giant buttress roots in a near-ground-hugging flight posture.

The cocoon crashed into the massive root blocking its path like an out-of-control bowling ball. Each impact caused the cocoon to vibrate violently, and the dark red energy membrane flickered intensely, emitting a piercing friction sound and a burst of energy dissipation.

Inside the cocoon, everyone was shaken so violently that they were thrown about, their internal organs feeling as if they were about to shift. They could only cling tightly to anything that could be secured around them, gritting their teeth and enduring the violent jolts and the suffocating smell of putrid blood.

Xiao Qi manipulated the cocoon, using the complex terrain formed by the buttress roots to perform extreme maneuvers, constantly changing direction, trying to shake off the turbulent energy storm behind him that was like a leech, constantly eroding the maze.

The purplish-black light of the eerie storm, like the searchlight of death, shone through the gaps in the roots, casting an ominous hue over the dark passageway.

The destructive energy turbulence, like a real tide, crashed against the cocoon wave after wave, consuming the putrid blood and eerie energy that made up the cocoon wall.

"Master, the core of the eerie energy storm is tearing apart the eerie space. This area is likely to be completely annihilated!" Little Seven frantically calculated the surrounding energy fluctuations and the information fed back by every blood spider scattered throughout the jungle.

"Demonic energy consumption... 67%... 73%... Cocoon structure strength... is continuously decreasing! Master, we need to find a way to escape the turbulence generated by the two demonic energy storms!"

The light inside the cocoon flickered, and with each violent impact and energy surge, the red glow on the cocoon wall dimmed a little. Everyone could clearly feel that the "shell" protecting them was becoming increasingly fragile.

Shen Ge gritted his teeth and poured the last bit of his strange energy into the core of the cocoon's defenses, reinforcing the invisible barrier to relieve the pressure on the cocoon. He knew that this couldn't go on; once the cocoon shattered and was exposed to the spatial annihilation storm, everyone would instantly turn to ashes.

We have to take a gamble!
Either find a glimmer of hope, or...

dead.

Just as a resolute glint flashed in Shen Ge's eyes, preparing to forcibly activate the system to amplify his attributes and attempt to tear through space once more—

A strange, indescribable sense of stagnation swept through the entire space without warning.

The monstrous storm that was raging wildly just a second ago, seemingly about to devour everything, suddenly stopped with its destructive roar!

It wasn't blocked, it wasn't neutralized, but rather like... a high-speed engine being suddenly disconnected from the power supply, gradually coming to a stop.

The purplish-black light that tore through the sky dimmed and disappeared abruptly, like a candle flame being extinguished; the turbulent energy currents that surged like a tangible tide were frozen in mid-air as if a pause button had been pressed; then, like a sand tower that had lost its support, they collapsed and vanished silently.

The ever-spreading, spiderweb-like rifts that had been devouring the "sky" abruptly halted, then... as if smoothed out by an invisible giant hand, began to slowly heal at a visible pace. The entire primeval jungle fell into a deathly, eerie... stillness.

The scarlet cocoon, propelled by inertia, slammed into a huge buttress root and finally came to a stop, tumbling under the force of its momentum.

The thick, blood-soaked cocoon walls slowly writhed, dissolved, and contracted, reintegrating into Xiao Qi's red mist armor.

The group tumbled to the ground in a sorry state, panting heavily, and looked around in shock.

Dead silence.

Absolute silence.

There was no roar of storms, no shrieking of space being torn apart, and even the chirping of insects and birds that had been ubiquitous in the jungle had completely disappeared.

Only the heavy breathing and the frantic pounding of hearts of the crowd were exceptionally clear in the deathly silence.

The sky... is no longer broken.

Thick, gray clouds once again obscured the view, as if those terrifying cracks had never appeared.

Only the lingering, nauseating smell of burning and the ozone odor from the tearing of space, along with the scattered broken branches and debris on the ground, proved that the devastating scene was not an illusion.

"Stop...stopped?" Camille leaned against the tree trunk, looking up at the gray sky in disbelief, his voice dry and hoarse.

Shirley held Sally, looking around blankly, as if she had just woken up from a nightmare. York slumped to the ground, panting heavily. The hideous, vine-like black veins on his arm had been sampled by Xiaoqi and injected with a new type of demonic energy inhibitor. Under the influence of the inhibitor, the veins were slowly contracting and disappearing back under the skin, leaving only the torn wounds and dark red vascular marks on the surface of the skin.

He looked at Shen Ge and Xiao Qi with complicated emotions, then at Xiao Ya, who was still in shock. The relief of surviving the ordeal was mixed with the worry of his identity being exposed.

Shen Ge slowly stood up, his eerie eyes flashing with a ghostly light as he warily scanned the eerily silent jungle. He activated the system to scan, and his senses spread out like radar.

"Master, the ghost energy... has completely disappeared?" Xiao Qi's voice was filled with confusion and solemnity. "It's not that it has dissipated, it's more like... it was forcibly extracted, or rather... it was 'shut down'. The ghost space structure is repairing itself at an abnormal speed... This does not conform to the rules of ghost space collapse."

Xiaoqi was also scanning her surroundings: "That unsettling, fishy-sweet smell that permeated the air... has faded a lot."

Shen Ge frowned deeply. This feeling... was too strange. It was like a super storm sweeping across the world, at its most violent and destructive peak, that was abruptly turned off with a switch...

The floodgates were shut down... This thought resurfaced.

Who is it? Or rather... what is it that possesses such terrifying power, capable of forcibly halting the collapse process of a multi-dimensional, bizarre space?
"Master, northeast..." Xiao Qi suddenly warned, but her tone was no longer urgent, but rather carried a deep sense of apprehension. "At the location of the spatial rift... a 'point' has appeared. A... extremely stable 'point' with no energy dissipation. It... is like the center of a strange energy storm, yet it is terrifyingly calm."

Following Xiao Qi's guidance, Shen Ge used his eerie eyes to peer through layers of obstacles.

In the center of the area that had been completely flattened by the bizarre energy storm, leaving only a barren black landscape, a tiny, almost imperceptible "point" floated several meters above the ground.

It has no light, no energy fluctuations, and not even a shape; it is simply a pure "existence" that seems to absorb all light.

It floated there silently, like a singularity in the universe, radiating a soul-stirring...absolute calm and...incomprehensible depth.

The devastating storm just now seemed to have been created solely to give birth to this... incomprehensible "point".

Shen Ge's heart sank to an unprecedented low. A chill, colder and deeper than when facing the raging, bizarre energy storm, crept up his spine.

Even when Shen Ge was still a second or third-order Little Karami, let alone after becoming a seventh-order rank, he never experienced this strange feeling.

Shen Ge glanced back at York, who was holding Xiaoya not far away. Judging from the information provided by the Blood Spider, York was indeed hiding something.

However, now is not the time to dwell on York's secrets, because even if it is confirmed that he has some deeper relationship with "Hunters" or the Monster Organization, it is meaningless. The current situation does not allow them to delve into these issues. The most important thing right now is to get out of the multiple strange dimensions.

To escape the multiple strange spaces, the key lies in the disappearing spatial rifts and the newly emerged eerie "singularity".

At this moment, the collapse of the strange space became more and more violent, and "cracks" like shattered mirrors could even be seen in the dim sky.

After a moment's thought, Shen Ge decided to go to the "Singularity" to investigate. After the bizarre attack by the "Hunter", York no longer dared to expect his strange powers to protect Xiaoya. If he wanted Xiaoya to live, following Shen Ge was the only option.

Moreover, if Shen Ge could really find a way to leave the multiple strange spaces and return to their so-called "real world," Xiao Ya would probably live a better life in that peaceful era.
Thinking of this, York finally made up his mind. He was willing to become an experimental subject on the experimental table if he followed Shen Ge to the "real world". As long as Xiaoya could live, it would all be worth it!

Shen Ge didn't give everyone time to think. He directly had Xiao Qi use the rotten blood tentacles to "connect" them together, and together they rushed towards the "singularity" at full speed before the collapse of the strange space.

Soon, Shen Ge and his group returned to the location of the spatial rift that Xiao Qi had detected earlier, but now only a strange "singularity" remained.

Shen Ge first had the system and Xiao Qi scan the area, but found nothing. Then he used the Ghost Eye to investigate and discovered a faint ghost energy fluctuation.

After a moment's thought, Shen Ge tried to release his supernatural energy to probe the "singularity," and to his surprise, he found that his supernatural energy could actually react with the "singularity"!
This feeling was similar to when he used the monster organization's teleportation device; there was an invisible force trying to "pull him in."

When Shen Ge noticed the "singularity" reacting, he immediately shouted to Xiao Qi, "Condense the cocoon immediately!"

Although Shen Ge reacted quickly, at the same time he shouted those words, a dazzling white light burst forth from the "Singularity," enveloping everyone.

Fortunately, almost at the same time Shen Ge shouted, Xiao Qi had already begun to release the Blood Spider to condense a cocoon and protect everyone.

The next second, the scarlet cocoon, along with Shen Ge, was sucked into the "singularity," which contained a terrifying black hole vortex!

Shen Ge did his best to maintain the invisible barrier that formed within the Ghost Domain, coordinating with Xiao Qi's cocoon for defense. This feeling was very similar to the dizzying sensation he experienced when he fell from the "spire" every time the fragmented world completely collapsed.

Wait, is it similar to the feeling when the fragmented world collapses?

Sure enough, the next second Shen Ge saw a series of mirrored worlds like "slides" in the black hole vortex, which were other fragmented worlds!

Is this "singularity" the passage connecting all the fragmented worlds?

Doesn't that mean... we can capture fragments of dreams?
Shen Ge's heart skipped a beat. He simply closed his eyes and let himself "see" only through his strange eyes amidst the dizzying world.

Soon, he noticed a glowing point among the countless "images" through his "mysterious eye," and then he excitedly shouted, "Little Qi, 3 o'clock, help me!"

Shen Ge unleashed his Corrupted Blood Tentacles with all his might, and Xiao Qi also noticed his intention, frantically multiplying the Blood Spiders to propagate the Corrupted Blood Tentacles.

The blood-red tentacles shot through the air like arrows, finally entangling the glowing fragment!
A familiar feeling, familiar energy fluctuations!
The power of the world has finally been found again—

Fragments of a dream!
