Chapter 1204: Chapter 490: Nari’s Dismemberment Show

At the edge of the Consciousness Space, the vibration frequency of the Silver Pocket Watch has reached a heart-stopping level.

Ron can clearly feel a malevolent seed silently taking root at the deepest part of his spiritual defenses.

The sensation is like countless tiny tendrils spreading and growing within his Memory and Thought Circuit.

Each pulse brings a strange pleasure, as if it’s telling him:

"Give up your resistance; this feeling is wonderful, isn’t it?"

Sarlin’s projection still maintains that demonic smile, as if admiring an artwork nearing completion.

"Do not resist, observer from the future."

Her voice is as sweet as honey, but the toxicity within makes people shiver:

"Pain is only temporary. Soon, you will grasp the true freedom we seek."

The tendrils of the seed begin to reach Ron’s core Memory region, attempting to establish a permanent anchor there.

He can sense the subtle shifts occurring in his cognition of certain things.

His doubts about authority are heightening, and a desire for forbidden knowledge is budding.

Once this pollution completely takes hold, it will gradually rewrite his entire value system, turning him into another Sarlin.

But at this critical juncture, Ron forcefully recalls the emergency contact mechanism Nari once mentioned.

"In the name of bloodline, by the oath of motherly love..."

Ron silently recites that special code in his heart, meanwhile laying his hand on the Magic Sword:

"Ruler of the Abyss Fifth Layer, the fusion of Chaos and reason..."

"Nari, I need your help."

The Magic Sword immediately starts to emit warm light, with blue-green patterns appearing on the surface like ripples.

Those patterns wander across the sword’s body like living things, as the bloodline connection is established, causing dramatic changes in the Consciousness Space.

.........

Abyss Fifth Layer, at the deepest part of the ocean palace.

Nari reclines lazily on a throne made of coral, hundreds of eyes of various sizes all fixated on the distance.

Suddenly, the special crystal on her chest begins to flash an urgent red light.

All the tentacles cease their movement simultaneously, and the entire sea area falls into an unnatural silence.

"The child is in danger..."

Nari’s voice echoes in the deep sea:

"And it’s a spiritual attack..."

Her tentacles begin to emit a hazardous Aura of Chaos, causing the surrounding seawater to boil due to energy overload.

At this moment, Uphemia’s voice comes from the entrance of the palace:

"Lord Nari, was that disturbance just now..."

"Nothing of importance."

Nari casually waves a tentacle, her tone becoming indifferent:

"Go to the deep-sea gorge and gather some fresh shoots of time vine, around a hundred should suffice."

"Remember, they must be the freshest, avoid any that are even slightly wilted. This task is rather urgent, you should depart at once."

Though finding the task somewhat abrupt, Uphemia still nods respectfully:

"Understood, I will take care of it right away."

After Uphemia departs, all of Nari’s attention focuses on that flickering crystal.

Through the bloodline connection, she can sense Ron is undergoing some kind of time-tracing Magic.

But what enrages her the most is the malicious source eroding the child’s consciousness.

"Historical projection... spiritual planting... it must be the work of an Abyssal Apostle..."

Nari’s eyes ignite with icy murderous intent:

"Which foolish insect dares to touch my child?"

She takes a deep breath, starting to mobilize the deepest Chaos Origin within her.

As a direct bloodline of the "Mother," Nari possesses Special Ability surpassing ordinary apostles.

The most terrifying of which is direct intervention in time and space.

.........

Abyssal Observation Station, inside the core laboratory.

Professor Yutel is intently monitoring the operational state of the historical penetration Array.

Suddenly, the Time Crystal at the center of the Array begins to emit a piercing alarm sound.

The meticulously crafted Rune circuits show visible cracks, causing the entire apparatus to shake violently.

"Anomalous energy fluctuation detected in the time flow..."

Yutel furrows his brow, his fingers rapidly manipulating the control panel:

"External forces are interfering with historical projection..."

He promptly initiates the emergency protocol, preparing to forcibly interrupt the ceremony to ensure Ron’s safety.

But just before issuing the interrupt command, a familiar Energy Fluctuation makes him pause.

"This feature of chaos... the aura of the Abyss Fifth Layer..."

The old professor’s expression becomes complex, with surprise and a certain understanding:

"Cross-layer projection, that apostle can directly intervene in the time flow..."

"It seems Ron’s connection with the Abyss is deeper than I imagined."

Yutel decides not to proceed with the interrupt but instead adjusts the Array’s protection parameters.

Since a sufficiently powerful presence is offering protection, he can observe this extraordinary intervention process from the sidelines.

"This might be a rare learning opportunity for Ron..."

.........

At the edge of the historical projection space, reality begins to undergo fundamental distortion.

First is the change in temperature.

The originally mild environment of the historical projection suddenly becomes moist and cold, like the deepest layer of the ocean.

The air starts to be filled with the fishy smell of algae and the salty scent of an ancient ocean.

Initially, Sarlin thinks this is merely instability in the historical projection and doesn’t take it too seriously.

But soon, she realizes the gravity of the situation.
