Chapter 639 The most chaotic in history
The moment when Tang Zijun and Chang Lei's two fatefully intertwined and mutually anchoring primal forces collided, forming an absolute coordinate.
hum! !
It was as if the entire spacetime structure of the Forgotten Valley had been thrown into a high-speed centrifuge, and the scenery around the two was no longer distorted and folded, but completely collapsed, shattered, and reassembled.
Space lost its concepts of front, back, left, and right; time lost its linear flow of past and future.
The scene before me was like a shattered kaleidoscope, with countless fragments from different times, spaces, and even dimensions forcibly pieced together, superimposed, and rotated. One second it was a writhing wall of flesh and blood, and the next it became a cold alloy tunnel filled with pipes. To the left was a wasteland ravaged by radiation storms, while to the right was the starry deep space of the universe. The ground beneath my feet was sometimes scorching lava, and sometimes icy void.
This is no longer a simple spatial folding or dimensional misalignment, but rather spacetime itself has been completely churned into a chaotic soup by some kind of blasphemous force. In this absolute chaos, any "direction" and "path" based on conventional perception loses its meaning, like trying to mark a course with grains of sand in a raging storm.
However, at the very core of this chaotic storm that could shatter all cognition, Tang Zijun and Chang Lei remained unmoved. Like two anchors supporting each other and deeply driven into nothingness in the eye of the storm, the stable and exclusive singularity of the force field formed around each other forcefully opened up a small island of "absolute reality" in this spacetime turbulence.
At that moment, they seemed to leap up instantly, briefly and incompletely escaping the constraints of this chaotic spacetime, looking down from a higher, more essential perspective.
In that moment of overlooking, they "saw" it.
They saw the even more chilling reality "hidden beneath the chaotic mists of time and space, deposited at the bottom of the canyon".
It was not a single image, but a blasphemous map forcibly pieced together from countless overlapping, flowing echoes and entities from different points in time and space.
The wreckage of a colossal alien mothership, crashed in ancient times and covered in strange biological slime, slowly seeps from its fractured cavities, emitting a fluorescent fluid that emits strong radiation. Centuries ago, a first-generation android war machine, distorted and contaminated by wasteland radiation and resembling a small mountain, has purplish-black fleshy tentacles sprouting from the cracks in its rusted armor. A wasteland mercenary squad, who just days ago ventured into the depths of the canyon and were instantly disintegrated into elementary particles and forcibly reassembled by an unknown force, their terrified and distorted faces frozen in translucent outlines of energy...
Bizarre creations from different dimensions, even different universes, were forcibly stitched together. Inside the chest cavity of a steel behemoth with only a metal skeleton remaining, a fleshy core composed of countless tiny human faces writhed. A suspended quantum cloud server array, flowing with data, had its core processor replaced with half of an alien heart that was still beating and covered with circuit boards. Several mummified corpses dressed in clothing from different eras and civilizations were nailed to the air like specimens by dark red energy crystal clusters, forming a bizarre energy node.
What's most chilling is the state of these beings themselves; they are no longer simply corpses or remains. The matter, energy, and even fragments of time and space that constitute them have been distorted by some force.
Machinery and flesh coexist, energy and soul are intertwined, and the fault lines of time and the folds of space are forcibly welded together. They are like malice-filled deformed creations arbitrarily kneaded by a mad craftsman who desecrates all common sense, using the remnants of the universe and tormented souls as raw materials.
These things are not static; after a brief moment of solidification, they begin to operate, and a horrific massacre unfolds in this bizarre environment.
Those monster remains, android remains, energy nodes, and twisted corpses that were originally still or slowly writhing... their eyes, sensors, and energy focal points, forcibly fused together from machinery, flesh, energy, and fragments of soul, instantly locked onto Tang Zijun and Chang Lei, who were suspended above the turbulent flow of spacetime.
There was no roaring, no howling.
Only a silent, yet soul-freezing collective malice swept in like a tsunami.
The matter and energy that make up their bodies begin to boil violently, steel twists and deforms, flesh and blood proliferate wildly, and energy cores shine as if overloaded. Attack methods from different times and spaces and different rules are forcibly activated and mixed, brewing into a destructive torrent capable of annihilating all order.
Dark red, corrosive energy beams condensed from the muzzle of the steel behemoth, yet at their core throbbed the heartbeat of that alien planet. The data streams from the quantum server array transformed into countless purple lightning bolts, each carrying a piercing mental scream. Embedded within each bolt was the agonizing face of a dried-up corpse, the fleshy mass formed from fused human faces emitting silent wails, transforming into visible, space-distorting soul shockwaves. Even the massive wreckage of the alien mothership, its fractured cavities opening like gaping maws, spewed out a destructive breath mixed with fluorescent bodily fluids, intensely radioactive dust, and fragments of spacetime.
Countless attacks, each different in nature but equally deadly, poured down on Tang Zijun and Chang Lei from all directions, from the past and the future, as if they had been awakened by a swarm of bees, ignoring the chaotic barriers of time and space!
They were no longer the backdrop of the canyon, but rather destructive apostles driven by the chaotic spacetime and the blasphemous core, launching indiscriminate attacks on all forms of order. The "anchoring" of Tang Zijun and Chang Lei instantly ignited the accumulated chaos of this spacetime.
The deepest malice and murderous intent.
Om-!
The azure barrier surrounding Tang Zijun suddenly expanded, like a newly formed cosmic nebula. The immense primordial power formed an absolute barrier, forcibly isolating the filthy soul shockwaves, distorted data lightning, and vicious corrosive rays.
"Okay, they look really angry." Chang Lei tugged at his cloak.
"That's right, so Lao Chang, I need you... Lao Chang?" As she was speaking, Tang Zijun suddenly realized that Chang Lei beside her had disappeared.
Looking along the anchor points established by both sides, Chang Lei appeared out of thin air in an inconspicuous corner in the distance, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, and made a toast to the void in their direction.
"Chang Lei, I'll f*** your grandpa!"
The dark red breath, like erupting abyssal lava, instantly devoured the barrier erected by Tang Zijun. The devoured energy did not disappear; instead, it emitted a piercing hissing sound.
"They're just a bunch of rabble. I'm sure you can handle them," Chang Lei said casually, then turned his attention to the battlefield.
This battle didn't seem to be directed at the two of them; rather than saying they started it, it's more accurate to say... they stumbled into the war.
The restless mechanical giant claw suddenly crushed a monster that had splintered half an AI vehicle and several dried corpses in mid-air, which had leaped out from a time rift. Among the exploded parts and broken bones, several blurry figures dressed in clothing from different eras disappeared with wails.
"Something's not right!" Tang Zijun, holding a sword in one hand and a gun in the other, evaporated a swarm of souls, composed of distorted human faces, that had been silently screaming and rushing towards them.
His gaze, sharp as lightning, swept across the battlefield to the far distance. "Their target isn't entirely locked onto us."
Chang Lei gently placed a sugar cube into the cup. "I noticed it a long time ago; those rotten chunks of flesh and lumps of iron... they're also gnawing on each other."
As he spoke, he looked at a misaligned fragment of space not far away, where a monster with the lower half of a giant mechanical spider and the upper half of a swollen tumor was tearing apart a floating jellyfish-like creature made of data streams and glowing spores with its metal limbs covered in bone spikes.
On the other side, several ancient suits of armor powered by dark red crystal clusters were wielding energy weapons, frantically hacking at a wall of flesh formed from the wreckage of an alien mothership that was constantly oozing black slime.
The entire chaotic battlefield was more like a giant arena forcibly stuffed with countless fragments of time and space and distorted creations. Beings from different times, different spaces, and distorted by different forces attacked, devoured, and destroyed each other endlessly.
The intrusion of Tang Zijun and Chang Lei, along with their dazzling, beacon-like coordinates of order, only attracted the largest and most intense wave of malice, becoming a striking new focal point in this chaotic battlefield.
Just then!
"ah!!"
A piercing, distorted human scream suddenly erupted from a thick, purplish-black fog swirling to Tang Zijun's left front.
Tang Zijun turned her head sharply and saw a scavenger dressed in tattered wasteland work clothes, his face covered in dirt and filled with extreme fear, tumbling and crawling out of the thick fog.
One of his arms was twisted unnaturally, covered in blood, and his eyes were unfocused, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world. He completely ignored the huge, tearing monsters around him, and seemed not to see Tang Zijun's existence. He just screamed and ran straight towards Tang Zijun like a headless fly.
His figure had an unstable, flickering quality, as if it might vanish at any moment.
"Afterimage?" Tang Zijun's pupils contracted slightly as he made a judgment in an instant. But at the same time as he made his judgment, in another distorted space, a group of soldiers wearing old but uniform combat uniforms and equipped with old-fashioned energy weapons suddenly appeared. They formed a defensive formation and fired wildly into the depths of the thick fog.
The energy beam shot into the thick fog, but it was like a mud ox entering the sea. Immediately afterwards, several huge arthropods covered with metal shells and writhing flesh suddenly emerged from the fog, like the scythe of death, instantly sweeping past the afterimages of the soldiers. The soldiers' figures were shattered in the silent explosion and the flying light and shadow.
Tang Zijun recognized the blurry insignia on the armband of one of the soldiers; it must be one of the forces stationed outside the pass.
The scavenger who screamed and ran towards Tang Zijun suddenly flickered violently less than ten meters away from her, like a malfunctioning holographic projection. The next second, the ground beneath his feet transformed without warning into a gigantic maw filled with sharp teeth, forged from molten rock and metal.
"Help me! Help—"
The scavenger's scream abruptly stopped, and he was swallowed up by the giant mouth as if he had fallen into an abyss. Only a few drops of blood and a trace of desperate fear remained on the spot, which were quickly dispersed by the chaotic energy flow.
"It's not just monsters..." Chang Lei had just witnessed in another corner that several well-equipped modern mercenaries in adventure suits were torn apart by a group of shadow-like, formless energy creatures that surged out from a time rift. "This hellhole... is replaying the death moments of all the unlucky souls who have died here," trapping them and those monsters in this eternally repeating cycle of slaughter.
"I do have a different opinion from you!"
Tang Zijun suddenly took several steps back, because after swallowing the scavenger, the giant mouth actually came towards him, and he was certain that the scavenger had indeed been begging him for help at the end.
