The man in black robes let out a heart-wrenching, maniacal laugh:
"Come on—witness the destruction of your so-called victory!"
Kevin rushed into the secret chamber containing the "divine embryo pod." The air was thick with the smell of medicine, mixed with the stench of rust and decay. He staggered a few steps, but still resolutely ran towards the transparent container.
The outline of a human figure was vaguely visible inside; it was a thin girl with skin as pale as paper, and long black hair that floated slowly in the liquid. Her eyes were closed, making her appear to have been asleep for many years, but her chest rose and fell slightly—a sign that she was alive!
“Isa…” Kevin called softly, his voice almost drowned out by the sounds of battle outside.
His fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and his eyes held a complex expression that seemed capable of tearing apart the soul.
Suddenly, a line of text lit up on the mechanical panel on the outside of the transparent container: "Identity authentication failed, please enter your fingerprint."
Without hesitation, Kevin slammed his fist into the panel, blood splattering out and instantly soaking the metal surface in red.
The system paused for a moment, then a cold voice rang out:
[Match successful...Activation process started].
A low hiss was heard, and the hatch slowly opened, liquid gushing out from the gaps and splashing onto Kevin. He immediately reached into the hatch and carefully helped him out.
"You're alive...that's wonderful." His voice trembled, but he forced himself to remain calm.
But the moment Isha's face was fully revealed, Kevin froze.
wrong……
This... is not her.
"Who...who are you?" Kevin stared at her gradually opening eyes, his face turning deathly pale.
The other person weakly raised their eyelids, managed a weak smile, and said softly, "I... am just a shadow she left here."
At that moment, Annie shouted urgently again from outside the door:
"Kevin! Time's almost up!!"
The black-robed man's maniacal laughter pierced through the walls and echoed throughout the hall, "Hahaha... What truth are you looking for? She died a long time ago!! Everything you believe is nothing but a lie!!"
"You're lying!" Kevin roared through gritted teeth, his eyes bloodshot.
Chapter 942 She was stripped away
The "shadow" said with difficulty, "She was stripped away, her body and memories were refined... I am just a 'remnant consciousness'... used to maintain the operation of the divine embryo chamber... She is the key to your world, and I am just... a piece of waste."
Kevin's body trembled slightly, and the hope in his eyes was crumbling bit by bit.
Suddenly, the "shadow's" hand gently rested on his shoulder, and it whispered, "If there's still time... don't ask me if it's true or not, now, save yourself."
As soon as she finished speaking, her body suddenly shattered into countless ashes, which quickly dispersed in the air.
Kevin stared blankly at his palm; the ash seemed to burn, chilling his heart to the bone.
"Ha...ha...hahaha!" He threw his head back and laughed, but his laughter was filled with anger and sorrow. "Since that's the case, then I'll personally send this so-called god down to hell!!"
He turned and rushed toward the exit, his steps as firm as iron.
However, the entrance was no longer the same as before.
With a loud bang, Ron's figure flew backwards and crashed into the control panel!
“Kevin!” Ron coughed up blood and struggled to his feet. “Watch out! That guy, his body structure has completely changed, we can’t beat him!”
Su Ting and Liya were also fighting and retreating at the door, covered in wounds and clearly exhausted.
Aiden roared, "We're already trapped in a spatial loop. Unless the resonance device is shut down, nobody's going to escape!"
Kevin took a deep breath, walked to the control panel, and stared coldly at the core parameters flashing on the screen. He slowly uttered a sentence:
"Give me five minutes."
Aiden's eyes widened: "What did you say? Where are you going to get five minutes now!"
“Within five minutes—” Kevin’s fingertip swept across the terminal screen, the data changing rapidly, “I will disable the resonance, cut off his energy source, and turn him into a real dead object.”
"You have that ability?" Leah asked, her face full of disbelief.
Kevin snorted coldly, a strange smile playing on his lips: "There are many things you don't know."
The man in black robes suddenly appeared outside the door, his body twisting and flowing like liquid, purple energy flashing and flowing within him like veins, his eyes fixed on Kevin.
"You participated in the experiment too... didn't you?" he said coldly. "So you thought you could control this power."
Kevin didn't answer. Instead, he typed rapidly on the keyboard and said, "Su Ting, Ron, cover me for two minutes."
"Understood!" Su Ting lunged forward, his blade flashing. "Get out of his way! Nobody is allowed near him!"
Leah quickly released a protective barrier around Kevin, saying, "I won't let you be interrupted either."
The man in black robes outside let out a low, cold laugh: "Naive. You have no idea what the true purpose of this facility is."
Annie rushed over anxiously and asked, "Then tell me, what exactly is it? What is the purpose of this facility?"
The man in black robes slowly opened his arms, his voice echoing like a tidal wave: "This is not just a testing ground, but a gateway to another dimension... and you people are all part of the sacrifice."
After he finished speaking, the wall behind him began to crack, and some kind of complex geometric pattern faintly appeared, emitting an unsettling light.
“Ten minutes,” Anne looked up at the ceiling, “and if we can’t escape, the whole city will be sacrificed.”
Chapter 943 Don't Let Him Drag It Out Too Long
"Then don't let him drag this out for too long!" Su Ting roared, and the blade in his hand suddenly burst forth with silver-blue flames!
The battle intensified once again, with fire and darkness clashing in the confined space.
On the central control panel, Kevin's fingers never stopped, his eyes focused intently.
His mouth slowly opened, uttering his last words, his voice utterly calm, as if from a distant world:
"I know how to open the door... and I know I have to be the last cog in the machine."
In that instant, the black-robed man's body suddenly swelled several times in size, and several black tentacles extended from his back, swooping down like a nightmare creature!
Anne screamed, "Kevin! It's only a few seconds left!!"
At that very moment, Kevin suddenly stood up, his eyes coldly fixed on the black-robed man who was about to pounce, and said with a faint smile:
"Let me show you the world beyond this world."
"Are you crazy?" Annie almost screamed. "Kevin! Activating the device now is suicide!!"
Kevin laughed, a laugh that was almost insane yet incredibly resolute: "It's not suicide... it's opening the door."
The figure in black robes twisted and deformed in the air, like an old piece of cloth torn and stitched back together. His voice pierced everyone's hearts like needles: "You don't understand what's behind that door... It will devour you, devour everything! Stop now—!"
However, the next second, Ron cleaved half of his body in two with a single blow, his purple flesh exploding open.
Kevin suddenly pressed his hands on the center of the control panel, and strange patterns lit up on his palms. The light spread throughout the entire control system as if it were alive.
"He's using his body as an interface!" Leah exclaimed.
The entire secret chamber shook violently, and the runes on the walls were activated one after another, as if some long-dormant deity was awakening.
Kevin's face had turned a sickly purplish-red, and beads of sweat mixed with blood were seeping from his forehead: "I was also part of this project. 'Shadow' was wrong... I'm not just a cog, I'm also one of the keys. Isha is gone, but her fragments are still inside me... That's why I can control this thing."
"You've been planning this all along?!" Su Ting roared, engaging in a fierce battle with the black-robed man who rushed in.
Kevin gave a wry smile: "I never considered any other option."
Annie lunged at him, trying to stop him: "But do you know what the outside world connects to? It's not a world outside the world, it's an abyss!"
Kevin turned to look at her, his eyes filled with tenderness and guilt: "If I don't open it, we'll all die in this facility, right? If I could have another chance, I'd be willing to go and see what the Abyss really looks like."
The man in black roared, breaking free from the ensuing struggle and charging straight at the control panel: "I'll stop you!!"
Lia leaped to block, her conjured silver spear piercing through the man's chest, but she couldn't stop him from extending his dark arm and striking Kevin!
In that instant, Kevin completed the final operation!
boom! ! !
A blinding light suddenly burst forth, blinding everyone instantly, and a force that tore through space swept them into chaos!
When their vision returned, the group found themselves standing in an unusual place.
There are no familiar landmarks here. There is no sky, no earth, only an endless, churning expanse of space, like reality being slowly boiled, with every ray of light pulsating with a non-geometric rhythm.
Chapter 944 An Unknown Existence
The outline of a massive, dilapidated door appeared all around, its surface entwined with unknown biological tissues and glowing metallic cables, slowly writhing as if awaiting the completion of some ritual before the true door could be opened.
Beneath the gate lies a circular platform upon which float twelve suspended core devices—each shimmering with a different color.
Kevin stood in the very center of the platform, his face ashen, with a faint purple energy flowing around him.
Behind him, a pair of phantoms, not of human origin, were faintly visible—an indescribable being, bearing the mark of a god and the essence of a monster.
He looked down at the terminal controller in his hand and said in a low voice:
"The door is open."
A crowd gathered around.
