Xingtetsu: You are not included in Elio's script!

Chapter 803

"Lin Yu..." The city lord's voice had a strange echo, as if speaking through the walls, "You can't escape."

"The thirteen destinies within you are destined to become sacrifices for 'purification'..."

Lin Yu pulled Silver Wolf deeper into the passage, leaving the voice behind.

The escape was not over yet, and the city lord's words were like a poisonous thorn, piercing his heart.

The truth of "Purification", the secrets of the Star Track Council, and Silver Wolf's script are all still hidden in the shadows of Black Rock City, waiting for him to uncover them.

But at least now, they are still alive.

As long as you are alive, there is a chance to turn things around.

There was a faint light at the end of the dark passage, which was the exit leading to the ground.

Lin Yu gripped the sword tightly in his hand, and the light of destiny condensed again in his palm. This time, it was no longer a passive defense, but a sharp edge ready to be unleashed.

The sky of Black Rock City should change.

When Lin Yu rushed out of the secret passage with Silver Wolf and March Seven, the alarm in the laboratory on the first floor was still sounding wildly.

Ji Zi was using a drone to blast open the last blocking iron gate, and Walter controlled the gravity field to pin down several guards who tried to counterattack.

Saifei'er and Xing were covered in blood, obviously they had just experienced a fierce battle.

"Retreat!" Lin Yu shouted outside, "The city lord can teleport, this place may have a self-destruct device!"

No one hesitated at all.

Ji Zi pulled up the shivering Tibao beside her and turned to leave. Walter cleared a passage, Feng Jin came forward and carried the injured Silver Wolf and followed closely behind.

Lin Yu was the last one to leave, sweeping through the laboratory's control consoles and smashing all the buttons that were flashing dangerous red lights.

The moment he rushed out of the main building of Black Stone City, Lin Yu flew into the air, and the energy intertwined into a huge light net, protecting everyone in the center.

Hold on tight Lin Yu shouted, and soared into the sky with everyone, flying towards the tallest building in the distance.

The wind whistled in their ears, and the Black Rock City below was like a giant beast awakening. Countless guards poured out from various buildings and fired wildly in their direction.

The roof of the communications building is covered with receivers.

When Lin Yu put everyone down, everyone's face was pale as if they had survived a disaster.

"Aglaia,"

"Use your golden threads to make a 'net' for the entire city."

Aglaya nodded, and the invisible golden threads poured down from the edge of the roof like a living stream, spreading rapidly along the outer wall of the building.

Soon, the entire Black Stone City was shrouded in an almost invisible "golden network". Those threads flickered with faint silver light in the moonlight, and each one was connected to Aglaya's perception.

"Golden Silk will issue an early warning for any unusual movement."

"But the city lord can teleport... maybe he can deceive my perception temporarily."

Lin Yu frowned, this was exactly what he was most worried about.

The city lord's teleportation ability is completely unreasonable. If he suddenly appears behind his companions, the consequences will be unimaginable.

He could teleport away, but what about Jizi and the others? Just now in the cell, that purple crystal had even absorbed his life force. Who knew if there were any more bizarre methods?

"I'll guard the edge of the roof," Walter walked to the railing, "The gravity field can temporarily disrupt the stability of space. If he wants to teleport here, he will be slowed down by at least half a second."

Ji Zi looked at the other side. "I'll be on guard on the west side, Sai Fei'er on the east side, and San Yue Qi will keep an eye on the downstairs. We have to buy time for Aglaiya."

Lin Yu looked at Silver Wolf, who was leaning against the water tank to treat the wound on her leg. "Are you okay?" He walked over and the green light was injected into her wound again.

Those hideous scars healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, the skin and flesh sutured together, the blood faded, and finally even the scars disappeared without a trace, leaving only the intact skin, which blended perfectly with the surrounding texture.

Silver Wolf looked down at the skin on her leg and moved her ankle. The piercing pain completely disappeared. She pulled the corners of her mouth and revealed a tired smile, "I won't die."

She paused, her fingertips rubbing the injured area, her tone darkening, "But who would have thought that the crystal in the City Lord's hand was actually a replica of the 'Fate Devourer'?"

"Destiny Devourer?" Lin Yu caught this unfamiliar word, and the blue light of intellectual destiny flickered slightly in his eyes. He had never seen this name in any book.

"A legendary cosmic wonder that can devour all supernatural powers."

"We've seen scattered records here that say it can absorb all energy like a black hole. Whether it's destiny, supernatural powers, or magic, as long as it touches its range, it will be crushed and devoured, and finally transformed into its own power."

Lin Yu's brows tightened instantly. No wonder his fate was suppressed so thoroughly in the cell just now, and even extracted bit by bit by the purple crystal.

It turns out that the prototype of that thing is such a terrifying existence.

"It is said that the only place of origin is... the lost hub planet." Silver Wolf said this with a hint of uncertainty in his tone, as if he was recalling some vague details.

"Lost hub planet? What is that?" Lin Yu asked. This name made him inexplicably think of the "star track hub" mentioned by the mayor. There seemed to be some hidden connection between the two.

Silver Wolf shook his head, his fingertips pausing. "I'm not sure. The archives only contain fragments of information, saying it's an ancient planet that existed in the early days of the universe, even older than the roots of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers."

"It's like a giant crossroads, where star tracks converge and diverge, connecting countless long-lost star regions. It's like... like the anchor point of all time and space."

Silver Wolf tried to recall the obscure descriptions. "I don't know what happened afterwards, probably tens of thousands of years ago. The entire planet and the surrounding star region suddenly disappeared without any warning or trace. From then on, it became the greatest legend in the universe. Star maps can no longer find its coordinates, and detectors can't detect any residual energy. It's as if it never existed."

Lin Yu stood there, looking at the outline of Black Stone City in the distance, with turbulent waves surging in his heart.

An ancient planet older than the Imaginary Tree? An anchor point connecting lost star tracks? A star field that suddenly vanished?

This information was like a puzzle, filling in the gaps in his cognition bit by bit.

Could the "Star Orbit Hub" the mayor mentions be the remains of a lost Nexus planet on this planet? The crystal in the city lord's hand is a replica of the "Fate Devourer," a rare artifact originating from the lost Nexus planet... Could this seemingly ordinary planet hold the key to a lost world?

"If it really existed, why did it suddenly disappear?"

"I don't know." Silver Wolf spread his hands. "There's only a strange symbol in the file, like a rotating star orbit ring, with the words 'balance broken' written next to it. I guess... maybe some devastating disaster happened?"

Lin Yu didn't say anything, but just cast his eyes towards the edge of the roof.

Aglaya's golden threads continued to spread silently, covering Black Stone City like a huge net.

He recalled the feeling in the cell just now when the purple crystal swallowed his life.

It was not a rough tearing, but a gentle yet domineering plundering like a sponge absorbing water. The texture of that power indeed carried an extraordinary aura.

Could it be that the city lord's "Purification Plan" is not about transforming Pokémon at all, but about finding the lost hub planet?

As soon as this thought came up, it was suppressed by Lin Yu.

It's crazy, but it seems to explain the craziness of it all better than "transforming Pokémon".

The mayor's obsession, Xingmei's sister's protection, the crystal's strange ability...

"Aglaiya." Lin Yu suddenly spoke, interrupting the silence on the rooftop, "Is there anything abnormal with the gold thread?"

Aglaya closed her eyes, the golden thread on her fingertips trembled slightly, and she shook her head.

"Still no sign of the City Lord, but... the energy fluctuations in the northwest are strange, like multiple forces colliding with each other. One of them... is very similar to the energy of Subject 37 just now, but even more violent."

Lin Yu and Silver Wolf looked at each other and saw solemnity in each other's eyes.
