Phase 2: Multiverse saga: Thế giới Tu tiên (7)
Title: Into the Fractures
The team ventured toward the first fracture, the air buzzing with tension and anticipation. The glowing tear pulsated with an ominous energy, and the closer they got, the more distorted the surroundings became—trees warped unnaturally, the sky shimmered with unnatural colors, and the ground beneath their feet trembled slightly.
Chu Wanning stood at the front, his expression firm as he examined the tear. "This is the first of many fractures. Stabilizing it won't be simple. Be prepared for resistance."
Levi, unsheathing his blades, scoffed. "When isn't it complicated?"
Mo Ran grinned, his fiery energy crackling around him. "Don't worry, Captain Levi. I'll cover you if you get into trouble."
Levi glared at him. "I don't need covering. Focus on the job."
Wei Wuxian, already twirling Chenqing, whispered to Lan Wangji, "I like this Levi guy. He's got spunk."
Lan Wangji simply nodded, his expression as stoic as ever.
The First Fracture: The Maze of Chaos
As they stepped through the fracture, the world around them twisted into a labyrinth. The walls were made of shifting, glowing crystal, and the air was filled with an unsettling hum. Shadows darted between the walls, and the team could hear faint whispers that seemed to come from nowhere.
"Great," Shen Qingqiu muttered, clutching his fan. "An endless maze. Just what we needed."
Erwin, ever the strategist, assessed the situation. "Stay close and move as a unit. Mark our path to avoid getting lost."
Hua Cheng summoned a swarm of silver butterflies, which illuminated the path ahead. "These will guide us. Let's move."
As they navigated the maze, the shadows began to take shape—creatures formed from pure chaos, their bodies shifting and writhing like living nightmares. They lunged at the group, forcing everyone to fight on multiple fronts.
Levi darted through the creatures with precision, his blades slicing through them effortlessly. "Stay sharp. They're fast."
Wei Wuxian laughed as he summoned a wave of dark energy, banishing a group of creatures. "Not fast enough!"
Lan Wangji moved with elegance, his sword glowing as he dispatched the creatures with ease. Hua Cheng's butterflies tore through them like razors, while Xie Lian used Fangxin to shield the group from a sudden ambush.
Chu Wanning unleashed a wave of energy that obliterated a cluster of creatures, his expression calm despite the chaos. "The faster we move, the fewer of these we'll face. Let's go."
The Second Fracture: The Abyssal Rift
After escaping the maze, the group arrived at the second fracture—a gaping abyss that seemed to stretch endlessly into the void. A narrow, unstable bridge made of floating stone led across it, with strange, glowing orbs floating in the air.
Mo Ran stepped forward, his confidence unwavering. "I'll go first. Shizun, stay close."
Chu Wanning frowned. "Don't be reckless, Ran'er."
As Mo Ran began to cross, one of the orbs shot toward him like a comet. Levi, moving faster than anyone expected, intercepted it with a precise slash of his blade. "Watch where you're going."
Mo Ran grinned. "Thanks, Captain."
The group moved cautiously across the bridge, fending off attacks from the glowing orbs and the creatures that emerged from the abyss below. Shen Qingqiu nearly lost his footing, but Luo Binghe caught him, his protective instincts kicking in. "Shizun, be careful."
Shang Qinghua clung to Mo Beijun, trembling. "This is why I don't like adventures!"
When they reached the other side, Erwin examined the glowing fissure at the center of the abyss. "This is the source. We need to close it."
Using a combination of Chu Wanning's talismans, Hua Cheng's butterflies, and Levi's precise strikes, they managed to stabilize the fracture, sealing it with a burst of light.
The Final Fracture: The Nexus of Worlds
The last fracture was the largest and most dangerous—a swirling vortex of energy where multiple realms collided. Titans, alien monsters, and chaos creatures poured out, creating a battlefield unlike any the group had faced before.
Erwin's commanding voice rang out. "Divide and conquer. Levi, Lan Wangji, Wei Wuxian—take the left flank. Hua Cheng, Xie Lian—hold the center. Chu Wanning, Mo Ran, Luo Binghe—secure the right. Shen Qingqiu, Shang Qinghua—support from the rear."
The battle was intense. Levi's blades moved faster than the eye could follow, cutting through Titans with surgical precision. Wei Wuxian's demonic energy overwhelmed the chaos creatures, while Lan Wangji's swordsmanship was flawless.
Hua Cheng's butterflies formed a protective barrier around Xie Lian, who used Fangxin to neutralize the monsters. Chu Wanning and Mo Ran unleashed waves of fiery energy, obliterating anything that got too close.
Shen Qingqiu, despite his protests, used his fan to deflect incoming projectiles, while Shang Qinghua managed to summon a surprising amount of courage to assist with talismans.
Erwin coordinated the group, his strategies turning the tide of battle. "Now—strike together!"
With one final, combined effort, the group targeted the vortex, sealing it with a burst of blinding light. The energy dissipated, and the fractures began to mend, restoring stability to the multiverse.
Aftermath
As the chaos subsided, the group stood together, battered but victorious. Levi wiped his blades clean, his expression unreadable. "Is it over?"
Chu Wanning nodded, his voice calm. "The multiverse is stable—for now."
Mo Ran grinned. "Not bad, Captain Levi. Maybe we make a good team after all."
Levi smirked faintly. "Don't get used to it."
Wei Wuxian clapped Erwin on the back. "Erwin-daren, your strategies were brilliant! Ever thought about becoming a cultivator?"
Erwin chuckled. "I think I'll leave that to all of you."
Shen Qingqiu sighed, leaning heavily on his fan. "If I never see another fracture, it'll be too soon."
Shang Qinghua nodded vigorously. "Agreed! Let's go back to normal problems—like paperwork!"
As the group prepared to part ways, there was a sense of camaraderie that transcended worlds. Though they came from different realms, they had faced the chaos together and emerged stronger for it.
