Light Fortress Chapter 1954 - 25: The Gate

The collapsed Gu Castle Fortress, snow fragments swirling.

The air is filled with a charcoal-like smell, and the snowflakes are stained with some black.

"Aunt Wen..."

Lin Lin frowned, gazing through the distant collapsed gates to even further away. The originally tower-filled Gu Castle Fortress has now been flattened, the visibility incredibly vast, and the giant wall has a gap carved out by the Source Material Storm, faintly revealing the blurred scene of the Umbrella Defense Line.

"Do you feel something’s not right?"

Purple Rain, wrapped in a cloak, had already a very serious expression.

Her level is higher than Lin Lin’s, and her spiritual power is also much stronger.

Now, the Transcendent closest to the origin in the North Continent is her. Upon reaching Gu Castle Fortress, Purple Rain released her spiritual power, enveloping the entire fortress ruins.

"The remaining Extraordinary Aura here... is beginning to flow in a pattern..."

Purple Rain squinted her phoenix eyes, placing a hand on Lin Lin’s shoulder, holding him back from wanting to go forward and investigate.

Just staring at "Gu Castle" makes her feel uneasy in the depths of her heart.

According to the agreement.

The two will wait at the entrance of Gu Castle Fortress, waiting for the resource donation from the Initial Number.

But now...

The sound of wind from Gu Castle Fortress has subtly become sharp. It’s a sound from outside the gaping hole in the giant wall, as if thousands of swords are pouring out with the cold wind, a chilling "kill aura" rises outside the fortress.

This cold stream makes Purple Rain and Lin Lin’s hearts suddenly feel ominous.

...

...

It’s not just the two waiting at Gu Castle Fortress who feel the cold stream.

On the Initial Number preparing to leave, Gu Shen and Bai Xiu also sensed something wrong.

At this moment, ten Red Shadows have completed their activation procedure. They put on large bamboo hats to cover their faces, heads and hands drooping.

As Gu Shen and Bai Xiu’s spiritual power infused into them, their eyes suddenly lit up with a red glow, their hands resting on the Black Silver hilt, as if instantly waking from sleep mode, becoming extremely alert. The bionic skin on the bamboo armor men starts to "flow," they were originally dead objects but were given "life" by the Lord of Melting Iron.

Alf compresses Black Silver, loads it into a compartment tube, and then stores it in a specially crafted chest.

These ten Red Shadows can traverse the void physically.

Delivering resources to Gu Castle.

"Gu Shen, do you feel something’s not right?"

Little Xiuzi, after her spiritual power settled into the Red Shadow shell, turned her head to look at the child beside her.

"Yes."

Gu Shen said solemnly, "I suddenly feel a strong danger..."

"I feel it too."

Even Gu Xiaoman spoke with a serious expression, the little girl clenched her fists anxiously, it’s her first time trying spiritual control of an external object, the Red Shadow in front also grasped the handle nervously.

"Just now, the Old World’s void outside North Continent’s Umbrella Defense Line started vibrating at high frequency."

Alf’s voice became serious.

Although it’s not a Transcendent, lacking "spiritual premonition," the monitoring capability of the Initial Number is comprehensive.

When the Lord of Melting Iron created the Initial Number for the Starship Civilization, to avoid dangers, it can conduct Extraordinary Particle explorations hundred miles ahead in the advancing void.

"High-frequency void vibration?"

Gu Xiaoman’s face changed slightly.

"This high-frequency vibration appeared once shortly before." Alf stated solemnly.

"The last time was during the Gu Castle incident?"

Little Xiuzi’s pupils contracted, murmuring.

"Yes..."

Alf replied, "After the Initial Number detected the high-frequency vibration, the Source Material Storm suddenly struck. But this time, the ’high-frequency vibration’ is clearly different."

After the previous high-frequency vibration, the disaster struck too fast.

Even it couldn’t react in time!

But this time... the vibration amplitude is less intense than last time, and the duration is much longer.

"It’s the ’gate’."

Gu Shen remained calm, controlling a Red Shadow shell, he flipped to the outside of the Initial Number, standing atop the giant starship, gazing into the distant pitch-black void... simultaneously extending his palm, the particles in the void were indeed trembling, and the frequency was extremely high. Bai Xiu and Gu Xiaoman had not directly encountered the ’gate’, and although Alf controlled the Initial Number, it had been submerged in the East Sea for years.

But he had encountered it.

The characteristic of the ’gate’ is that upon opening, it drives a large amount of Extraordinary Particles.

And such a high-frequency tremor, enough for the Initial Number to sense something amiss...

"And, it’s not just one ’gate’."

So many ’gates’ opening simultaneously.

There’s only one possibility.

The Traveler Tribe successfully locked onto the coordinates of the Five Continents Civilization, they’re preparing to "descend."

...

...

Beyond the Northern Border’s pitch-black void, it’s perpetually dark.

But at this moment, amidst the dense vibration frequencies, something suddenly shattered.

In an instant.

That flat void, like a shattered mirror, instantly blooms with thousands of strands of flowing light!

Gate!

Thousands upon thousands of gates!

As the void shatters, portals open, sharp screeching sounds shoot out like swords, low-grade traveler beings pour out, dense black shadows envelop the fleeting light, they rush toward the luminous fragmented frontier like hunting dogs targeting a bloody scent.

Rumble!

The Red Shadows on the Initial Number captured this scene completely.

"The Source Material Storm... was just the beginning..."

Little Xiuzi’s expression was complex.

He suddenly understood Deep Sea’s true intention of manipulating the Source Material Storm to attack Gu Castle.
