Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 1116: Chapter 513: Battle of the Molten Core (Part 2)

After arduous efforts and unyielding exploration, David finally discovered a possible method—the activation of the Chaos Protocol.

The Chaos Protocol is a hidden function within the Spirit of the Code, capable of creating new possibilities without violating existing rules.

However, activating this protocol requires immense energy and courage, for a failure could result in cracks within the core of the Spirit of the Code, potentially never to be repaired.

Faced with such risk, David showed not a trace of hesitation.

He took a deep breath and infused all his spiritual power into the Spirit of the Code, initiating the Chaos Protocol.

In an instant, the entire Mechanical Realm seemed enveloped by an invisible force, the halted Mechanical Race began operating again, and the steel surface patterns gradually disappeared.

Yet the cost was enormous.

With the initiation of the Chaos Protocol, cracks indeed appeared within the core of the Spirit of the Code.

Those cracks spread like spider webs, causing David a twinge of heartache.

But he knew it was the necessary price to protect the Mechanical Realm.

When everything appeared to resume peace, the Mechanical Realm’s central control room suddenly displayed a shocking image—the Observer-cultivated Abyss Executor embryo captured at the last moment before shutdown.

That embryo was placed in a container filled with unknown energy, slowly growing.

Its appearance signified that the Abyssal Will had not abandoned its erosion plan for the Mechanical Realm but temporarily lurked, awaiting the right moment.

Seeing this image, David’s expression became grave.

He realized that though they had temporarily resolved the immediate crisis, the real battle had just begun.

He must work harder to enhance his strength and wisdom to face any future challenges.

At the same time, he realized one thing—the fate of the Mechanical Realm was no longer entirely in his hands.

The threat of the Abyssal Will had plunged the entire cosmos into crisis, and as part of the cosmos, they must unite to resist this evil existence together.

Thus, David decided to inform representatives of other civilizations of his discovery and plans, seeking their support and assistance.

He knew it was a path filled with the unknown and danger, but he also believed that as long as they worked together, they could certainly overcome the Abyssal Will and guard the cosmos’s peace and tranquility…

In the following days, David began his journey of passage.

He traversed countless galaxies and civilization regions, conveying the Mechanical Realm’s crisis and the Abyssal Will’s threat to those capable of providing assistance among the civilization representatives.

Though some expressed doubt and indifference, many others chose to believe David and decided to join his ranks against the Abyssal Will.

Throughout this process, David met many like-minded friends and companions.

They came from different civilizations and races but shared common goals and beliefs.

They fought together, grew together, and faced various difficulties and challenges together.

And David gradually matured into a wiser and more insightful leader through these experiences.

As time passed day by day, the countdown of the Mechanical Realm also relentlessly approached.

Yet David felt no trace of panic or despair.

As the crisis in the Mechanical Realm intensified, David and his companions decided to launch their final assault on the Molten Core Throne.

The Molten Core Throne, a mysterious place located at the deepest part of the Mechanical Realm, is rumored to conceal the key to controlling the entire Mechanical Realm’s core power.

However, when they entered the domain of the Molten Core Throne, a challenge more unprecedented was waiting.

The surroundings of the Molten Core Throne were filled with scorching heat, as if even the air was burning.

David and his companions carefully advanced, their protective suits emitting faint hissing sounds under the high temperature.

Suddenly, a huge lava pool blocked their way, filled with seething magma emitting suffocating heat waves.

“Is this the first line of defense of the Molten Core Throne?” David frowned, deeply aware of the difficulty of this mission.

Yet, he did not retreat but took a determined step forward.

At this moment, an unexpected situation occurred.

When they attempted to use energy weapons to attack the lava pool, the energy attacks were completely absorbed and converted into more magma!

This phenomenon thoroughly overturned their understanding—the law of energy conservation was failing here!

“What’s going on?” a companion exclaimed.

David quickly calmed down and began analyzing this strange law of “Heat Hunger.”

He realized there was a special law around the Molten Core Throne that could convert all energy attacks into magma proliferation, trapping attackers in even more perilous circumstances.

Faced with such a challenge, David and his companions found themselves in a dilemma.

They knew if they couldn’t find a way to break this law, they would never conquer the Molten Core Throne.

However, just as they were at a loss, David noticed a detail on the base of the Molten Core Throne—a civilization number XC-72 engraved by the Observer.

This discovery made David’s eyes light up.

He realized this number might be related to the Abyssal Will, which was their ultimate target for this journey.

Thus, he decided to use this clue to seek a way to break the “Heat Hunger” law.

After arduous exploration and attempts, David finally discovered a possible method—using Chaos Crystal to create an insulating layer.

Chaos Crystal is an extremely rare material, possessing unique abilities to absorb and transform energy.

David used a Chaos Crystal in his possession to create a sturdy insulating layer and covered the base of the Molten Core Throne with it.

As the insulating layer was covered, the temperature around the Molten Core Throne began to gradually decrease, and the previously rampant magma started to calm down.

Seizing the opportunity, David and his companions launched a fierce attack, eventually succeeding in conquering the Molten Core Throne.

However, the cost of victory was heavy.

During the conquest of the Molten Core Throne, David’s right leg was unfortunately permanently eroded by magma.

His protective suit melted in the high temperature, and his right leg underwent a dreadful transformation due to being unable to withstand such high temperatures—it turned into a hard magma crystal, forever losing sensation.

David looked at his right leg, his heart filled with pain and helplessness.

But he knew it was the required price to defend the Mechanical Realm and the cosmos’s peace.

He took a deep breath, burying this pain deep in his heart, and continued forward.

After conquering the Molten Core Throne, David and his companions began exploring the throne’s core area.

They discovered a mysterious device, seemingly capable of detecting various cosmic energy signatures.

And when they entered David’s energy signature, the device surprisingly displayed a shocking message—seventy thousand years ago, David’s energy signature had already appeared on this device!

This discovery shocked and puzzled everyone.

Seventy thousand years ago, David hadn’t been born yet and couldn’t possibly have any interaction with the Molten Core Throne.

So, where did this energy signature originate?

David stared at the information on the device, his mind racing with countless possible explanations.

Ultimately, he realized this discovery might be concealing deeper secrets and crises.

He must act more cautiously to avoid falling into more dangerous circumstances.

Thus, David decided not to reveal this discovery to others for now.

He planned to investigate this secret alone, uncover the truth, and devise a responsive strategy.

And in this process, he will face more severe challenges and trials…

In the following days, David began his journey of secret investigation.

He traversed every corner of the Molten Core Throne, seeking clues and evidence related to that energy signature.
