Chapter 385 Darkness Confrontation and the First Glimmer of Dawn
The violent tremors caused stones to fall from the ruins, raising clouds of dust. Dark power surged in from all directions like a raging tide, coalescing into menacing shadowy figures in the hall, lunging menacingly at Lin Yu and his group. The team members quickly huddled together back-to-back, their weapons gleaming brightly, unleashing beams of energy to fiercely confront the shadowy figures.
"Everyone, stay calm! Don't panic!" Lin Yu shouted, trying to bolster morale. But the shadowy figures seemed endless, wave after wave; just as one group was scattered, a new one would emerge. The team's attacks could temporarily repel the shadowy figures, but they couldn't deliver a fatal blow.
"These shadowy figures are troublesome; ordinary attacks won't be enough to completely eliminate them," Ellie said anxiously while defending herself. Lin Yu kept a close eye on the shadowy figures and noticed that their movements slowed down when they came into contact with the light emanating from the crystal ball. "Everyone, concentrate your firepower and combine your attacks with the light from the crystal ball!" he shouted immediately.
The team members understood immediately, adjusting their attack direction to bring the energy beams closer to the crystal ball, harnessing the power of its light. Under the combined effect of light and energy, the shadow finally began to dissipate, turning into wisps of black smoke. But the dark force did not stop there; the attacks grew increasingly fierce, and the tremors of the ruins became more and more intense, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.
"This can't go on. We must speed up the activation of the crystal ball," Lin Yu said, glancing at the still incompletely activated crystal ball. Just then, a team member accidentally triggered the wrong sequence while manipulating the energy lines. The crystal ball's light dimmed instantly, and the dark power seized the opportunity to counterattack, with the shadows surging forward again.
"Quick, readjust the order!" Lin Yu was extremely anxious, frantically adjusting the energy lines with his teammates. In this tense moment, Ellie suddenly shouted, "Wait, I've discovered that the activation order of these energy lines is related to the pattern on the wall!" She quickly rushed to the wall, carefully observing the pattern and rapidly deciphering the information within.
"Follow this order!" Ellie announced the new sequence. The team members acted swiftly, tensely but methodically reactivating the energy lines. As the correct energy lines were activated, the crystal ball's light shone again, even brighter than before.
Under the light of the crystal ball, the dark power was gradually suppressed, the shadowy figures became illusory, and their attacks weakened. "Keep going, we're almost there!" Lin Yu shouted, encouraging his team.
Finally, the last energy line was successfully activated, and the crystal ball erupted with an extremely intense light, instantly illuminating the entire ruins. A powerful, mysterious force emanated from the crystal ball, spreading outwards and colliding violently with the dark forces. Under the impact of this mysterious force, the dark forces rapidly dissipated, and the ruins gradually returned to calm.
As the dark forces receded, Lin Yu and his teammates collapsed to the ground, exhausted and panting heavily. But their faces were filled with the joy of victory, and their eyes shone with hope.
"We did it!" a team member shouted excitedly. Lin Yu stood up, looking at the crystal ball radiating a soft light, knowing this was just the beginning. "Although we've successfully activated the crystal ball, we still need time to study how to utilize this mysterious power and completely control this ancient force."
At this moment, the fleet outside the ruins also noticed the changes inside. An anxious voice came through the communication channel: "Captain, what's the situation inside?" Lin Yu picked up the communicator and calmly replied: "We succeeded. Everyone prepare to return to the fleet."
Back on the fleet, Lin Yu and his team immediately immersed themselves in researching the crystal ball. Could they successfully master the method of wielding its mysterious power and completely resolve the crisis brought about by the ancient force? The future of the universe still seemed fraught with uncertainty.
