195: Chapter 195 Barrage Artillery Battle: Little Magellan Resonates with the Four Realms

Section 1: The Four Realms Assemble: The Dark Matter Erosion Energy Successor and Intergalactic Equipment

As the Chuanwu Starship entered the borders of the Small Magellanic Cloud, a figure wrapped in dark silver light drifted toward them. It wasn't the bright silver of Stardust or the dark red of the Star Core; it looked as if dark matter had been crushed and wrapped around their body. In their hand, they clutched an "Erosion Energy Crystal Core" covered in cracks. As they approached, the starship's dark matter detector began to beep frantically.

"If you keep going forward, you're dead!" The figure slammed onto the hatch with a thud, their voice urgent and hoarse. "I am Xiao Kaya (sharing the same name as the Solar System's Ice Soul Energy successor, hereafter referred to as 'Xiao Kaya'), the successor of the Small Magellanic Cloud's 'Dark Matter Erosion Energy.' The Siege Cannon has been occupied by the Mother Source's guardians. With your equipment, you won't even be able to pass through the dark matter mist!"

Ling leaned in, wanting to poke her layer of light, but Xiao Kaya pinned his hand down as soon as he reached out. "Don't touch it! My Erosion Energy can analyze dark matter, but it can also corrupt Qi Energy. Your Stardust Energy would shatter if it touched it." She broke the Erosion Energy Crystal Core into small pieces and handed them to everyone. "Stuff these into the layers of your spacesuits. These cores will allow you to see the patterns of the dark matter; otherwise, you'll be flying blind in the mist."

The equipment modification site instantly turned into a chaotic mess. Lu Yu held a wrench, trying to install a crystal core onto the Siege Cannon's dedicated "energy interface," and nearly had the wrench corrupted by the Erosion Energy. "This stuff is too sinister! I have to worry about being corroded just to fix a cannon!" Xiao Kaya squatted nearby, handing him tools. "Endure it. When we fight the guardians later, we'll need it to break their dark matter shields."

Xiao Juan's Nature Qi gloves gained a layer of "Erosion Energy Sensing Film." Xiao Kaya rubbed some crystal core powder onto the film. "You can talk to Stardust, Star Orbit, and Star Core. This film will allow you to see the Spirit-Devourer tracks within the dark matter; you'll be able to find the guardians no matter where they hide." The Little Whale Spirit's Qi Energy chamber was even livelier. Xiao Kaya drifted a wisp of Erosion Energy inside, and the little fellow was actually able to entwine the dark silver Erosion Energy with its own Stardust, Star Orbit, and Star Core Energy into a four-colored small ball, rolling it around the chamber—it could now use four types of Qi simultaneously!

Chen Wu held up the fusion jade, where the four energies—Stardust Gold, Star Orbit Purple, Star Core Red, and Erosion Energy Silver—entwined into a spiral, shining with a blinding light. "We are now the 'Four-Realm Martial Arts Alliance.' The Siege Cannon is the key to striking the Mother Source. If we lose it, the Source of Martial Tradition for the entire galaxy will be swallowed. Remember, this time we aren't just fighting guardians; we are fighting the Mother Source for a way to survive!"

The comments on the global livestream were nearly exploding off the screen: "Xiao Kaya's Erosion Energy is so cool! It can actually corrupt Ling's Stardust Energy!" "The part where the Little Whale Spirit rolls the four-colored ball is so cute it's melting me!" "The Four-Realm Alliance! This lineup is even more hype than the Three Realms!" News came from the Technical Department that nodes in the Solar System, Andromeda, Triangulum, and the Large Magellanic Cloud were all feeding energy into the starship, with four pillars of light connecting in the Universe like a rainbow line.

Section 2: Dark Mist Channel: Spirit-Devourer Mist and the Erosion Energy Breakthrough

When the Chuanwu Starship sailed into the "Dark Matter Mist Zone" of the Small Magellanic Cloud, it instantly went pitch black outside the windows. It wasn't ordinary darkness, but a "Dark Mist" that swallowed even starlight completely. The starship's radar failed entirely, and all that could be heard was the "sizzle" of corrosion from outside—dark matter was gnawing at the hull.

"This mist was released by the guardians; it can swallow Qi Energy and make you lose your way." Xiao Kaya's Erosion Energy Crystal Core lit up, casting the patterns within the mist into the cabin with dark silver light. "There is a 'Dark Matter Trap' 500 meters ahead. If we fall in, the ship will be torn into scrap metal!"

Just as she finished speaking, the starship was suddenly pulled downward by a force of gravity! The control console screen went completely black, and A-Yue's Star Orbit lines tightened as if they were about to snap. "The dark matter in the mist is sucking away our Star Orbit Qi! I can't stabilize the flight path!"

"Use Erosion Energy to clear the way!" Xiao Kaya shouted. The dark silver energy around her surged, spraying out through the starship's Qi Energy conduits. When the dark matter in the mist touched the Erosion Energy, it actually receded like melting ice, revealing a narrow passage. "A-Yue! Follow my Erosion Energy patterns to calibrate the direction! Don't drift off!"

A-Yue nodded immediately, her Star Orbit lines entwining with the Erosion Energy patterns to mark the channel through the mist. But before they had gone far, several "Small Dark Matter Guardians" suddenly emerged from the mist—they looked like clumps of black fog wrapped around bone spikes. Upon touching the starship's hull, they left small corroded holes. "They can drill their way in!" Laila screamed, using Shamanic Martial Force to summon anti-erosion microbes, but the microbes were swallowed the moment they touched the guardians.

Xiao Juan suddenly closed her eyes, and the Erosion Energy film on her gloves lit up. "300 meters to the front right! There's a large guardian releasing small ones! I can see its trajectory!" She drew the guardian's position on the screen; it was a "Dark Matter Patrol Guardian" five times larger than the small ones, crouching in the mist and spitting out small guardians.

"Karen! Use Storm Qi to sweep away the small ones! Leo! Use Star Core Energy to burn the Patrol Guardian's shell!" Chen Wu immediately assigned tactics. Karen's Storm Qi began to spin, creating a silver-gray wind barrier outside the hull; the small guardians were swept away as soon as they approached. Leo's Star Core Energy condensed into a fireball and smashed toward the Patrol Guardian, but the moment the fireball touched its dark matter shell, it was swallowed without a trace.

"We have to use Erosion Energy to break the shell!" Xiao Kaya floated to the hatch, her Erosion Energy condensing into a dagger. "I'm going out to stab its core! You guys help me block the small guardians!" Ling followed immediately: "I'll go with you! Stardust Energy can help stabilize your form!" The two opened the hatch and charged into the mist like a bolt of dark silver and bright silver lightning. Within minutes, the Patrol Guardian in the mist let out a miserable scream, and the dark mist thinned slightly.

The global audience watched with sweaty palms, the comments filled with: "Xiao Kaya and Ling are too brave! They actually dared to leave the ship!" "Xiao Juan's Erosion Energy film is so useful! Precise positioning!" "Karen's Storm Qi is always reliable!" After another half hour, the starship finally sailed out of the dark mist, and the "Siege Cannon Platform" in the distance came into view—it was a metal platform suspended within a nebula. The dark matter Siege Cannon in the center of the platform glowed with a faint blue light, but it was surrounded by a dozen guardians, including a "Guardian Commander" even larger than a Vanguard King, which was crouched on the cannon gnawing on the energy lines.

Section 3: Siege Cannon Battlefield: Guardian Encirclement and Early Stage Confrontation

As soon as the Chuanwu Starship stopped near the platform, the Guardian Commander looked up. Its body was made of dark matter wrapped around metal bone spikes, and its eyes were two spheres of red light. It opened its mouth and spat out a glob of black Qi Energy, heading straight for the starship's engines! "Dodge quickly! This energy can corrupt metal!" Xiao Kaya shouted. Erosion Energy formed a barrier outside the engines; when the black energy hit the barrier, it made a "sizzling" sound and slowly dissolved.

Chen Wu immediately shouted out the tactics: "Xiao Kaya, Ling, and A-Yue, you're one team—go break the Guardian Commander's dark matter shield. Leo and Aila, you're another team—use Earth Pulse Force and Star Core Energy to repair the Siege Cannon's energy lines. The new generation will follow me to protect the platform and prevent the small guardians from ambushing!"

Xiao Kaya's team was the fastest to charge. Xiao Kaya's Erosion Energy dagger stabbed at the Commander's shield, and the dark matter shell was instantly corroded, creating a hole. Ling's Stardust Energy drilled through the hole, disrupting the Commander's internal energy. A-Yue's Star Orbit lines entwined around the Commander's claws to prevent it from striking. However, the Commander suddenly lashed its body, throwing the three of them back. Ling's Stardust armor was torn with a large hole, and Xiao Kaya's Erosion Energy Crystal Core shattered a piece. "This thing's shield is too thick! There isn't enough Erosion Energy!"

Things weren't going well for Leo and Aila either. Several of the Siege Cannon's energy lines had been chewed through. Leo used Star Core Energy to reconnect the lines, but his fingers were corroded by dark matter the moment he touched them. "Aila! Use Earth Pulse Force to wall off the dark matter! I'll make the connection!" Aila nodded, her pale green Earth Pulse Force wrapping around the energy lines. Leo took the opportunity to inject Star Core Energy, and the lines finally began to glow slightly.

Suddenly, the platform shook. A dozen small guardians charged out from the mist, heading straight for the Siege Cannon! "Don't touch the cannon!" Karim shouted. His Pyramid Force bracers lit up, and a pale gold light shield protected the cannon's body. Mei's Ninja Qi darts were fired at the small guardians, but the darts were swallowed as soon as they touched the dark matter. Laila was so anxious she was almost in tears; the microbes summoned by her Shamanic Martial Force simply couldn't hold them back.

The Little Whale Spirit suddenly charged out from the cabin, its four-colored energy condensing into a small ball that it smashed into the small guardians. When the ball hit the dark matter, it actually dissolved it! The small guardians instantly dissipated. "Its four-colored energy can counter dark matter!" Xiao Juan shouted in pleasant surprise. "Little Whale Spirit! Release a few more balls!" The little fellow nodded and spat out several more four-colored balls, clearing all the small guardians.

The global livestream comments were full of: "The Little Whale Spirit is incredible! Four-colored energy can actually dissolve dark matter!" "Karim, hold that light shield!" "Leo, hurry up and finish connecting those energy lines!" News came from the Technical Department that the energy from the four-realm nodes was almost fully transmitted; the Siege Cannon was only missing the final energy line connection.

Section 4: Climax: Four-Realm Resonance and Siege Cannon Activation

"Xiao Kaya! Use your Erosion Energy to lure the Commander away! We'll go connect the last line!" Chen Wu shouted. His Dual-Qi wrapped around the energy of the new generation, forming a barrier on the platform to block the Commander's attacks. Xiao Kaya nodded, her Erosion Energy condensing into a rope that she coiled around the Commander's neck, pulling it toward the edge of the platform. "Come and get me, you big lump!"

Leo took the chance to rush forward. The last energy line was right before his eyes, but the Commander suddenly broke free from Xiao Kaya and spat out energy directly at Leo! "Watch out!" Xiao Kaya lunged over, using her body to block the energy. Her Erosion Energy light layer shattered instantly, and she coughed up blood. "Quick... connect the energy line!"

Leo's eyes turned red, and his Star Core Energy surged as he connected the final line. The Siege Cannon instantly lit up, and a pale blue light enveloped the entire platform! "Everyone, channel your energy into the cannon! Merge the four-realm martial arts!" Chen Wu shouted. The energy of the four-realm successors flowed through the cannon's energy lines, and the four energies—Stardust Gold, Star Orbit Purple, Star Core Red, and Erosion Energy Silver—condensed into a massive four-colored light orb at the cannon's muzzle.

Seeing things were going poorly, the Commander charged forward to smash the cannon, but the Little Whale Spirit's four-colored energy ball smashed into its eyes, making it roar in pain. Xiao Kaya took the opportunity to stab her Erosion Energy into the Commander's core. Ling's Stardust Energy, A-Yue's Star Orbit Qi, and Leo's Star Core Energy all rushed in together. The four energies exploded inside the core, and the Commander's dark matter shell began to melt!

"Siege Cannon! Fire!" Chen Wu roared. The four-colored light orb shot out from the muzzle, heading straight for the Commander's core. The moment the orb touched the Commander, it instantly dissolved it into a cloud of black mist, even clearing the surrounding dark mist! The Siege Cannon's light grew even brighter, projecting an image—it was the founder of the Universal Martial Arts Alliance. He pointed toward the center of the dark matter nebula and said, "The Siege Cannon can pierce the dark matter shield of the Mother Source. Now, it is time to go meet it..."

The global livestream comments had already exploded: "The Four-Realm Resonance is so hype! I have goosebumps!" "The part where Xiao Kaya used her body to block the energy made me cry!" "The Siege Cannon is too powerful! It dissolved the Commander instantly!" Xiao Kaya leaned against the Siege Cannon and said with a smile, "Thank you... our Small Magellanic Cloud's Source of Martial Tradition finally doesn't have to fear being swallowed."

Section 5: Conclusion: Mother Source Localization and the All-Galaxy Alliance

After the Siege Cannon was fully activated, the runes on its body projected a clear "Mother Source Localization Map." At the center of the dark matter nebula was a black "Mother Source Core," surrounded by a dozen "Mother Source Vanguards" that were currently charging toward various galaxies. Xiao Kaya pointed at the map: "The Mother Source is assembling its vanguards. It wants to swallow the martial arts sources of all galaxies simultaneously. We have to hurry to the dark matter nebula, or it will be too late!"

Chen Wu nodded and looked at the entire crew. "Next stop, the dark matter nebula. This time, we aren't just going to fight the Mother Source; we are going to find martial artists from every galaxy and form the 'Universal Martial Arts Alliance.' If one galaxy can't win, the whole Universe will fight together. We will surely prevail!" A-Yue wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. "It should have been like this long ago. I never want to live through the days of fighting alone again."

The Little Whale Spirit floated to Xiao Kaya's side and handed her a small four-colored ball. Inside the ball was a fragment of the Erosion Energy Crystal Core. Xiao Kaya took the ball, her eyes reddening slightly. "Thanks, little guy. From now on, we are family." Ling patted her shoulder. "Let's go! To the dark matter nebula. We'll shatter the Mother Source and make the martial arts sources of the entire Universe shine!"

As the Chuanwu Starship prepared to leave, the Siege Cannon shot out a wisp of pale blue light that entwined around the fusion jade. it was the Small Magellanic Cloud's Martial Arts Token, capable of sensing the fluctuations of the Mother Source Core. Xiao Kaya looked at the Siege Cannon and said softly, "Wait for us. We'll be back soon to use you to break the Mother Source's shield and make you the hope of the entire Universe."

The final image of the global livestream showed the Chuanwu Starship following the Siege Cannon's light toward the dark matter nebula, with the light pillars of the four realms following behind. Chen Wu spoke to the camera: "No matter how terrifying the dark matter nebula is, or how strong the Mother Source may be, as long as the martial artists of the entire Universe stand together, there is no hardship that cannot be overcome and no martial arts source that cannot be defended."
