The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 540 Twin Choices
Miwei's gaze was like ice slicing through the void.

She captures fragments of information scattered in the distant nebulae.

His expression was cold and solemn:
"The situation has reached a critical turning point."

We can no longer act in isolation.

She stretched out her massive tail, which was covered in fine scales and runic patterns.

The tail end flashed with blue-green pulses.

"The remaining forces of the Mechanical Realm have joined forces with us."

They will become the most effective force against the Awakened Ones.

at the same time.

Not far away.

Inside a mechanical fortress that still stands after being destroyed by past wars.

A group of humanoid mech soldiers, clad in rusted metal armor and with their faces obscured by semi-transparent protective shields, are gathering.

They are the remnants of the "Mechanical Realm"—

Those that have experienced the destruction and reshaping of civilizations.

They are also resilient rebels and mad scientists who thrive on the fringes of society.

They possess lost technology.

Yet they still struggle to find a way to revive.

The center of this ruined fortress.

It is a large stone slab made of an ultra-rare alloy and engraved with ancient runes.

It is inscribed with several incredibly complex covenant texts.

This is the remnant on the "Godslayer Star".

It is the most important carrier of the oath left behind by the war that once killed gods.

It is also the place where the new alliance was founded.

Mech leader Orion raised his fist.

The human hand, composed of multiple metal joints, clenched its fist with a dull thud.

"We cannot succumb to the new order."

We must unite all forces of resistance.

"Reshape the laws of the universe at all costs!"

His eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

He looked around at the soldiers.

Everyone's face was filled with determination and fighting spirit.

Under his instructions.

The holographic projection unfolded rapidly.

The image above shows an alliance invitation sent from the Mivi faction.

And the detailed agreement between the two parties:

"We promise."

Share resources and intelligence.

Jointly build a cross-dimensional communication network.

To reverse the current monitored and locked state.

Reconstructing the system of free will.

A female engineer stationed inside the fortress said softly:

"This agreement is inscribed on the 'Eternal Stele' on the remains of Godkiller Star."

It not only symbolizes unwavering determination.

Furthermore, a special nanostructure ensures that the information cannot be tampered with.

Orion nodded in agreement.

He stared at the Alliance inscription projected on the screen.

A heavy sense of responsibility immediately welled up in my heart:

"This is a gamble."

But it is also the only hope.

We must not betray the trust they have placed in us.

at the same time.

On the other side of the dark rift.

Miwei has completed the ceremony.

A miniature transmission device that had parasitized her body was activated.

This is a uniquely evolved cross-dimensional communication organ.

By oscillating quantum wavebands.

To enable information transmission that transcends conventional time and space limitations.

No matter how far away.

They can all instantly transmit strategic instructions.

This is important for future cooperation between the two parties.

It is one of the absolute lethal advantages.

She gently stroked the newborn veins that shimmered with a silvery-blue luster.

A cold smile appeared on his lips:

"Let those who claim to control the truth of time see this."

We are allies against God.

How will they tear apart the new order they've built!

The air was filled with the smell of rust and the dampness of sea salt.

A low, resonant roar gradually echoed outwards.

Like an ancient thunderclap, it continues to resonate in the soul.

An unprecedented large-scale connection is brewing.

And all the unknown variables will unfold layer upon layer of vortex over time...

Lena stood in front of the virtual array.

The wrinkles between her brows made her look even more determined.

"Their alliance means we are facing a more complex and dangerous situation."

This is not a problem that can be easily solved by force alone.

Cynthia adjusts the parameters on the data display screen.

"We must improve our cognitive speed and adaptability as quickly as possible."

Otherwise, we will fall into an information trap woven by external forces.

Forced into a state of defeat.

David gazed at the distant sky.

A new flame ignited in his eyes.

The old order has been broken.

A new era will surely be born.

But the road ahead will not be smooth.

Every choice is a gamble.

Every step forward is accompanied by unknown risks...

but me.

"It will lead them through the darkest hour before dawn."

The three looked at each other and a tacit understanding formed between them.

they know.

From now on.

A much larger, more complex, multifaceted, and even ambiguous new situation is unfolding...

between heaven and earth.

All that remained was the indescribable yet crystal-clear unease before the storm...

In the void.

The stars twinkled.

The undercurrent is surging.

David, Lena, and Cynthia stood beside the Ancient Tree of Chaos.

The breathing has temporarily subsided.

Yet it remained solemn.

Deep in space outside the throne room.

A lurking unease slowly spread like invisible spider silk.

It pushed everyone's nerves to the limit.

Cynthia remained seated at the core of the mental link.

The holographic interface kept jumping and flashing in front of her.

Layer upon layer of information and data flooded into her senses like waves.

She frowned slightly.

Tap the edge of the console with your finger.

His expression, a mixture of anxiety and anticipation, was clearly visible.

“David,” she suddenly called softly.

“I found a hidden clause 7.2 in the observer protocol.”

His words carried a hint of undisguised shock.

David turned around.

His deep blue eyes were fixed on Cynthia.

His gaze was as calm as the deep sea tide, yet it concealed a turbulent undercurrent.

"Go on."

The holographic screen rippled slightly.

A subtle and implicit text emerges:

"When the subject of regulation achieves divine unity."

The system should automatically execute the handover procedure.

These words struck like a thunderbolt.

It exploded in the air.

The tension among the three was pushed to its limit.

Lena's gaze sharpened.

She asked softly:

"Civilizational exchange?"
That means
Everything we do.

Who exactly are we paving the way for?

Cynthia nodded.

"This hidden clause means..."

When an individual or group achieves a state of 'divine unity' that transcends the constraints of time and space.

It's not simply about gaining freedom.

Instead, they were incorporated into the ruling framework of a higher-level civilization.

The 'civilization takeover' is automatically completed by the observer system.

The air suddenly became heavy and oppressive.

It felt like a thousand pounds were pressing down on you.

The deep blue light in David's eyes gradually deepened.

His face showed a mixture of contemplation and worry.

"This does not seem to be the ultimate relief we had envisioned."

"It is a new shackle that is of a higher order and more complex." he whispered.

"but
The genetic entropy value in my body.

This perfectly matches the number 7.2.

When saying this sentence.

His fingers gripped the runes on the seven-ringed wizard's crown on his chest.

The rune trembled slightly.

It's like responding to the deepest fluctuations of information within one's heart.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

That wasn't just simple fatigue.

Rather, it is the soul's repeated violent tremors as it confronts the truth of fate.

Lena noticed his unusual behavior.

I reached out and grasped his shoulder.

Her voice was gentle yet firm:
No matter how cold and cruel the rules are, we must survive.

To break free from constraints.

Take control of your own destiny.

Cynthia adjusted the frequency of her mental link.

At the same time, we are planning the next steps:
"If this hidden program is activated."

We will face the danger of being completely integrated, alienated into data nodes, or even losing our subjectivity.

But since your gene entropy value matches 7.2.

Perhaps you are the one who can trigger or intervene in the crucial juncture of the 'civilizational transition'.

The space suddenly became unusually quiet.

All that could be heard were the breathing of the three people and the faint creaking of the ancient chaotic tree branches in the distance.

Time seemed to freeze.

Every second felt like a sharp blade cutting into the softest part of my soul.

at this moment.

Each of them is undergoing an unprecedented and cruel test in their inner world—

Can it withstand the judgment of truth that touches the very essence of existence?

After a long silence.

David looked away.

His gaze swept firmly over the two of them:

"Since fate has brought me to this point."

I will not sit idly by and wait to die.

Regardless of the outcome.

I want to break this hidden rule.

Opening a new path for all who awaken!

Tears welled up in Lena's eyes.

But a smile involuntarily crept onto my face:
"This is my choice."

It is also our vow.

Never to be separated from.

Let's journey to the other shore together!

Cynthia nodded.

He concealed his inner turmoil with steadfast calmness.

"Get ready."

No matter how unpredictable the future may be.

We must first seize the initiative.

From now on.

Every step is crucial!

now.

They stood back to back in the center of the throne room.

The towering ancient information tree, like a guardian tower, enveloped the surrounding space.

The intelligent flames scattered among the branches and leaves illuminated their faces.

It also reflects their unwavering will and indomitable spirit, burning like stars.

Just now.

A new data jump suddenly appeared on the holographic screen—

It was a strange and complex sequence of data.

It scrolls and changes at an unimaginable speed.

Every number and symbol seems to have a life of its own.

It stirred up ripples in their minds.

This information flow subtly reveals a kind of quantum wave function diffraction pattern.

Its center point actually points to...
“My quantum state,” David murmured to himself.

The voice carried an air of disbelief and caution.

"Reaching the critical threshold."
This state could be the key to breaking through the blockade or completely losing oneself.

He clenched his fists.

The pressure from within caused his body to tremble slightly.

But his face was filled with the words "no retreat" and "only advance."

He turned to look at the information network spreading from the roots of the Void Tree.

Endless branches stretch out like tentacles.

Wrap them up.

This is both a refuge and a seal.

It is also a web of puzzles waiting to be solved.

“We are about to enter the true final stage,” Cynthia calmly analyzed.

"The environment is full of uncertainties."

But only by understanding and utilizing these mechanisms can we succeed.

Only then will we have a chance to turn the tide.

Achieve true self-mastery!

Time passes slowly.

But for the three of them.

Every second is the most intense furnace for forging willpower.

Against the backdrop of an impending reshuffling of the entire cognitive structure of the universe.

They became a crucial fulcrum for balancing hope and destruction.

This burden almost tore apart all weakness.

But it also forged an incredibly resilient and courageous body.
Outside the throne room.

The endless star field was shrouded in a strange mist.

Tangible and intangible forces are stirring.

And here.

It is the only place where dreams and beliefs can burn freely on the eve of the final clash between the old and new orders.
Obsidian chains encircled the crown.

It complements the dark blue flames.

It shines brightly in the night.

The ancient tree of chaos soars into the clouds.

Its roots extend deep into the edge of infinite void.

The new life it nurtured has long since transformed into countless sparks of wisdom, scattering and dispersing in all directions.
Inside the throne room.

The air seemed to have solidified into a crystallization of time.

The roots of the Chaos Tree slowly wriggled in the void.

The eerie blue flames emanating from the branches and leaves gradually changed color.

It's like the veins of life flowing in the undercurrent.

David stands in the center.

His every breath seemed to resonate in sync with the energy fluctuations in this vast space.

My heart was pounding as fiercely as exploding stars.

Lena and Cynthia followed closely behind.

They knew it all too well.

this moment.

It is the moment when all cycles of reincarnation and struggle converge into the crossroads of fate.

suddenly.

The ancient tree of chaos began to tremble violently.

The once vast and boundless fluorescent information quickly converged at the center of the tree trunk.

A crack spread along the branch.

Like a wound that tears through the void.

The wound gradually revealed two completely different colors—

On one side is a pure and dazzling platinum glow.

It exudes an aura of solemnity and holiness;

On the other side was a deep, dark, and mysterious purple ripple that undulated and undulated.

“This is…” Lena’s expression changed drastically.

She reached out her finger and gently touched the area where the white gold and dark purple intertwined.

But I noticed a strange and subtle sense of instability coming from my fingertips.

She was breathing rapidly.

"The Chaos Ancient Tree actually split itself into twin forms."

These two contradictory yet inseparable forces
It is bringing our inner struggles to life.

David stared at the twin forms in the torn space.

He frowned.

A mixture of pain and determination flashed across his face.

He slowly closed his eyes.

Draw all your senses into the depths of your heart.

The dark blue flames burned even more intensely within him.

Like a falling star, burning away all the shackles of fate.

"I have to make a choice."

His voice was low and firm.

"It is to take over this vast, complex, ruthless, yet extremely sophisticated observer system."

Bring the entire multiverse under order and control;
Or should we abandon the old rules?

Create a completely new order.

This allows true free will to be born and continue.

The air seemed to tremble at his breath.

Each word carries an irresistible weight.

He opened his eyes.

The swirling, shimmering blue light reflected his indomitable spirit during the darkest hour before dawn.

At this moment, a subtle change occurred beside Lena—

She was enveloped in an absolute zero zone.

This is the law of the extreme cold domain that she has cultivated and refined over many years.

however.

At this moment, this area is showing signs of melting—

The originally crystal-clear, chilling power began to show fragmented fluctuations.

It is as fragile and unstable as thin ice just beginning to melt.

She gritted her teeth.

Use force to stabilize the energy of the law.

Yet, the unease that was slowly spreading was still hard to suppress.

"This is pressure."

A new force is attempting to undermine our very foundations.

She whispered to Cynthia and David.

"We must be more cautious."

Once it gets out of control.

It's not just me.

Instead, the entire system will be plunged into disaster.

Cynthia frowned.

She quickly adjusted the mental link interface.

The latest data was fed back to the two of them.

"According to monitoring."

This phenomenon originates from the conflict of information resonance frequencies caused by the splitting of the Chaos Ancient Tree.

This not only tests the adaptability of our physical laws.

It is also a challenge to the limits of cognition.

David strode toward the expanding, shimmering, and colorful energy field.
