"What does 'guarding' mean?" Zhou Jing asked.
I had no time to answer. Shadows in the sky were rapidly descending, targeting several key locations in the village: the stone tablet, the ancient well, and the ancestral hall. They understood the significance of these places. I said we must protect the energy nodes. If these structures were destroyed...
"Kong Yang, quickly organize our actions. I'll handle the ancestral hall with Honda, and Zhou Jing, you take care of the ancient well. Guard the stone tablet."
Just as we were about to split up, the first wave of attack arrived. A black sphere composed of twisted energy slammed into the stone tablet. I immediately activated the protective sequence of my mask, and a blue energy barrier unfolded in front of the stone tablet.
The black sphere collided with the barrier, emitting a piercing hum. Through my special vision, I could see this mass of energy attempting to erode the structure of the barrier. It was like a virus trying to destabilize the energy field.
"Be careful," came Honda Miho's voice over the intercom. "These things can mimic our energy patterns. They're trying to—"
Before she could finish her sentence, communication was cut off. I saw a massive energy vortex rising from the direction of the ancestral hall, shadows and blue light intertwining in midair.
The attacks on the stone tablet grew increasingly fierce. The black sphere suddenly split into countless tiny energy tendrils, attempting to breach the shield from all angles. Worse still, I felt them trying to influence the viral sequence within me.
Damn it, I gritted my teeth and held on; these guys were much tougher than Sato.
At that moment, a resonance erupted from the stone tablet. The ancient runes began to glow, forming a new energy field. More astonishingly, this energy field perfectly aligned with my shield, creating some kind of resonance between them.
Suddenly, it dawned on me: these structures were originally part of a defense system. What we needed to do was not resist alone but awaken them!
I quickly contacted everyone through the intercom: "Try to resonate with the structures! Use your viral sequences to trigger their defense mechanisms!"
Soon, a humming sound resonated throughout the underground of the village. It was the ancient mechanisms awakening from their slumber. Energy veins surged from beneath the ground like some colossal creature's meridians.
"Look over there!" Zhou Jing's voice was filled with excitement as she pointed towards the ancient well.
I turned to see a brilliant beam of light shooting up from within it. The previously chaotic energies suddenly became extraordinarily orderly at that moment, forming a complete defensive matrix.
The shadows seemed to realize something as well. They abruptly changed their strategy, no longer attacking separately but instead gathering together to form a massive vortex.
This vortex exuded an oppressive aura. Through my special vision, I saw it contained several energy signatures from lost civilizations; these World Eaters were hybrids of different cultures that grew stronger by devouring others.
"Prepare for their final assault," I said. "They're about to—"
Before I could finish my sentence, a massive rift tore open in the sky. Endless darkness poured out from that gap as if it intended to swallow all of Changling Village.
In that critical moment, a copper plate at the base of the stone tablet suddenly fell away completely, revealing a shocking device—a control panel identical to one at an Antarctic base!
At its center was an embedded slot that perfectly matched the shape of my mask.
As I looked at that device, I suddenly realized something profound.
Indeed, the real battle has only just begun.
