Wizard: Stronger through Marriage Chapter 1271 - 591: Emergence of the Astral Compass

David nodded in response, adjusting his breath, once again condensing the remnants of exhaustion on his body but with a heart blazing like fire.

Using his Chaos Divinity to stabilize the space around that Void Star Core, whose frequency he synchronized with the resonance of the ship’s array, jointly resisting any external disturbances or threats!

The core area of the mother nest was on the verge of collapse.

That Void Star Core, just forcibly seized and brought under David’s control, was now emitting a faint blue-purple glow, causing severe vibrations that led to the constant expansion of spatial cracks.

The air was filled with a scent of decay and scorching interwoven, accompanied by a muffled roar penetrating deep into the soul as if the apocalypse had arrived.

The inner walls of the insect race mother nest twisted and deformed, countless fleshy ducts and tendrils torn and severed, with endless black fissures like soul-devouring maws tearing through spatial dimensions.

Amid this violent upheaval, the main consciousness of the "Devourer of Stars" erupted with an earth-shaking roar—a furious wail teetering on the brink of collapse after losing control of its core.

"Retreat! Retreat swiftly!" David growled deeply, his entire body ablaze with Chaos Divine Power, leading the team towards the landing craft at Extraordinary Speed.

The burden they carried was not only life but also the responsibility of the future balance of the entire multiverse.

Alia wielded her Longsword, the Ice Rune exploded on the blade, and as she swung, piercing cold enveloped the surroundings like hailstones, constantly breaking the remnants of the insect swarm trying to hinder their escape.

Annie followed closely behind, her face pale but the brilliance of wisdom in her eyes undiminished, maintaining the core of the star pupil race’s leader’s spirit body through a mental link,

that pulsating ball-like existence flickering with weak starlight.

The landing craft’s hatch slowly opened, like a giant iron arm extending a welcoming embrace, waiting to receive the miracle of life.

The surrounding space warped and quivered due to uncontrolled gravity, every step feeling like walking on an unstable platform, yet the team members showed no fear, their focus locked firmly on their target, sprinting forward with full concentration.

"David, we are being pulled into the collapse!" A technician urgently reported via communication, their voice a mix of barely contained panic and excitement,

"The Silver Wing Ark’s tractor beam is activated, but the stability limit is approaching!"

The commander on the bridge operated the control console with an expressionless face, keenly adjusting the frequency of the tractor beam to prevent any minute errors from having fatal consequences.

"Stay calm, stabilize fully! This is our last line of defense!"

Time seemed to freeze and extend at this moment, each second filled with unpredictable and fatal danger.

They watched as vast space barriers began to collapse and shatter, countless biological tissues grinding and exploding, stirring dust and blood mist that filled the entire visual field like an apocalyptic storm sweeping in.

Just as they were about to sprint to the landing craft’s hatch, a powerful energy wave suddenly struck from behind, condensing some remnants of the insect swarm into a blood-colored vortex, savagely attacking the team.

In one moment, Alia swung her sword with force to slay the obstruction, while Annie bit her lip tightly, using the power of runes to create a purple-blue mental barrier to resist the onslaught for everyone.

David’s brows furrowed, his muscles tensed, he forcibly mobilized Chaos Energy to infuse his body with endless power, while directing the entire team through a mental network to strengthen formation coordination.

"Hold on! Safety is just one step away!"

Finally, amidst roaring sounds and violent shaking, they rushed into the landing craft’s cabin.

The hatch quickly closed, a thick and dazzling blue-white tractor beam was projected from the distant ship, like the hand of the cosmos firmly grasping them, temporarily isolating the collapsing mother nest and the abyss of calamity.

The air inside the cabin instantly compressed to safe standard levels, sweat soaking each person’s battle armor, yet their gaze remained as firm as ever, without a hint of evasion or trembling.

They knew that this ship and mission carried a thread of hope for the delicate balance of the entire cosmos!

Suddenly, the small leader’s spirit body core, which flickered with weak starlight and contained immense wisdom and power yet still appeared fragile and unstable, at a crucial moment projected a gentle and warm yet penetrating star light vein toward the replica Star Gnomon fragment worn on David’s necklace!

The vein flowed slowly like a fine ribbon, coursing across the surface of the replica, and soon transformed into a exquisite and crystal-clear small instrument emitting a mysterious and soft luminous glow.

A "Starmap Compass" constructed from pure astral energy, wrapped within complex patterns and threads!

The compass was crystal-clear, its structure complex and wonderful yet highly practical: it possessed the ability to automatically calibrate both unknown and known coordinate systems in the multiverse;

it could actively alert them to potential spatial anomalies and danger zones along their forward path;

and it contained part of the ancient and valuable yet secretive and vast cosmic navigation map information of the Star Pupil Race, an indispensable tool for deeper exploration and strategic planning in the future!

"What is this...?" Alia stood with clenched fist, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at the compass, "It is the gift from the leader to us, a symbol of his trust and expectation!"

Annie nodded gently, her fingers touching the compass surface, perceiving the complex flow of information contained within, "It’s not just a navigation tool, but also a vehicle for connecting memories of the past and future, as well as a key medium for safeguarding our exploration of unknown truths."

David displayed an unmistakable grateful smile, gently holding up the small item of profound significance, as if grasping a new hope after the crisis had passed.

"With it, we can face the imminent new journey more confidently."
