The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 661 Colossus Awakening
The cold current rushed straight to the purple cracked area, freezing the local space into a crystal-clear, desolate hell.

The corrosive edge of the "Wall of Sighs" was instantly covered with a thick layer of frost—the corrupted spores seemed to be temporarily suppressed by this deadly freeze, and most of them collapsed and dissipated.

However, within this frozen realm, a strange phenomenon began to appear.

Lena felt a sudden backlash from the elemental energy within her body. It was the entropy-increasing spores reversing the erosion of her divine origin, attempting to bewitch the part of her immortal soul deep within her core that was not yet fully purified by freezing it.

This erosion brought a dull stinging pain and a sharp burning sensation; her face turned deathly pale, but her eyes remained resolute.
"No... we cannot back down! Even the purest power can become prey for darkness!"

She gripped the power tightly with both hands, silently reciting ancient prayers in her heart, using the rhythm of her own life to resist the invasion.

But this war between mind and body is far from over. Those frozen but not completely destroyed information spores are quietly awakening and trying even more frantically to break through the seal!
David noticed all of this, his brow furrowed, but he did not hesitate for a moment.

He walked slowly to Lena's side and placed his hand on her shoulder. The touch was warm and firm, like the sun dispelling the shadows of extreme cold.

He said softly, "Your will is our guiding light, and we will protect you with all our might to the very end."

Annie rapidly adjusted the data prism parameters, accelerating the reversal process, while simultaneously projecting numerous purification runes to envelop the infected areas:

"Commander, the structure of these entropy-increasing spores is extremely complex and cannot be completely eliminated by conventional magic. We need to rely on the fusion of technology and magic to clean them up simultaneously through a multi-layered system."

Sophia led the Knights of the Illusionary Forest through the misty illusion, wielding their longswords and slaying the invading tentacles like a whirlwind.

Wherever the sword's edge struck, each fragment shone with the light of pure order. Even amidst the surrounding chaos and disorder, nothing could stop the indestructible will of these guardians.

Lia sat cross-legged and chanted the Laws of Life. Her sacred notes gathered into a protective shield, infusing all the guardians with unwavering faith and spiritual resilience, enabling them to maintain composure and avoid collapse even in the face of weightlessness and chaotic disintegration.

However, the entropy-increasing spores' counterattack gradually revealed their ferocious nature, and their unyielding resistance to elemental forces made the situation even more stalemate.

Sweat streamed down Lena's face. She gritted her teeth, using all her strength to maintain the restraint, but deep down she vaguely felt the latent infection slowly consuming her.

"We can't let them take up any gaps!"

David's eyes shone brightly as he gripped the Phase Dagger tightly in both hands, slashing out one holy mark of order after another in the air. Each swing was a fierce strike against the fallen darkness.

"All units, maintain formation! No matter the cost, defend the last line of defense of the 'Wall of Sighs'!"

In the distant sky, the Annihilation Fleet's flagship, "Void Cocoon," continued to steadily release corrosive information fluctuations. Its enormous shadow shrouded the heavens and earth, seemingly bringing devastating calamity with every breath.

However, at this moment, it also has to face the disadvantages brought about by Sophia's clever use of Shadow Siphon to disrupt the sensors, as well as the solid barriers built by the combined efforts of the Guardians.

As time passed, the tug-of-war between the two sides intensified, the earth trembled frequently, and the new "Chaos Codex" in the hall responded to the changes in external information, flashing even more dazzling and sharp runes, like sharp blades cutting through the sky, providing the strongest protection for all the guardians!
Crystal Song Plains, a battlefield once named for its crystal-clear, sparkling surface, is now being mercilessly torn apart.

The earth was covered with traces of information corrosion, interspersed with deep purple and gray-black. Every inch of soil seemed to tremble. Countless tiny crystals shimmered with irregular rhythmic light at their edges, but they could not resist the gradually spreading, twisting, and corrupting darkness.

Amidst a deep rumble, the earth cracked open with blood-red lines, tearing at the very essence of space and time like fangs bared from a wound.

The Annihilation Fleet's flagship, "Void Cocoon," slowly descended into the center of the plain. Its massive, almost mechanized cocoon, covered with ancient runes and chaotic codes, resembled a mobile fortress. A cold, eerie blue light leaked out from its gaps, giving the surrounding air a sense of deathly stillness.

A series of low-frequency resonances, like the roar of a ferocious beast, emanated from inside the mothership, constantly stirring the hearts of the defenders.

Suddenly, a violent tremor spread throughout the entire Crystal Song Plain, and the earth was torn open with several huge ravines accompanied by a deafening shattering sound.

In that ravine, a colossal mechanical creation—the Law Demolisher—rose slowly from the ground.

Its entire body is made of rusted yet exceptionally hard data steel, with countless glowing runes embedded in each metal plate. These runes rotate and leap, emitting strange and dangerous information fluctuations, like an immortal blade capable of devouring the very source of order.

The Law Destroyer has enormous and heavy limbs. With each step it takes, it causes the earth to crack into a bottomless abyss. With each swing of its arm, it can sever the surrounding space into a chaotic and broken zone.

Its data eyes, reflecting the ghostly blue flames, were cold and ruthless, their gaze seemingly able to penetrate the deepest part of the soul, turning all resistance into sand.

On the distant observation deck, David frowned, and a more intense and burning flame ignited in his eyes as he looked at the scene.

He knew that this was not just a contest of body and will, but a life-or-death struggle between the new era order and the torrent of chaos that would completely annihilate it.

“We cannot back down,” he said firmly. “Even in the face of such a behemoth, we must use our conviction to pry open the door to victory.”

Annie stood in the main control cabin of the Northern Fortress, the cold light reflected from the holographic screen's pulsating data stream shimmering on her cheek. She gripped the data prism console tightly with both hands, as countless algorithm codes flowed rapidly from her fingertips, converging into a complex matrix.

“Initiate the transformation program,” she murmured to herself. “Titan Colossus, activate immediately.”

As the command was given, the outer metal structure of the fortress began to crack and pop, and the freely separated steel plates rearranged and reassembled at an incredible speed.

Layers of thick armor plates interlocked and gradually rose and expanded into a humanoid shape under the drive of elemental energy pulses.

The entire Northern Fortress quickly departed from its traditional castle appearance, and a colossal steel divine body rose and ascended in the void, with a humanoid figure over a hundred meters tall standing beneath the sky.

Anne's gaze was resolute. She manipulated the control stick and tapped a few spots, and a large number of sensor feedbacks and calculation results appeared on the holographic data interface.

"Activate Thunder Engine! Elemental Core Temperature Stabilized! Defense System Synchronized..."

"Initial integration complete!" Her tone was calm but revealed a hint of tension, because she knew that this Titan was currently the only weapon capable of directly confronting the dismembering power of the Law Dismantler!

From the distant front, Sophia led the Knights of the Illusionary Forest, charging towards them. Clad in azure longswords, she moved with effortless grace through the shadows and mist. The blade gleamed with an intense, chilling light, each swing whipping up a fierce wind that severed and shattered the corrupted data chains. The knights' steps were firm, their eyes gleaming, showing no sign of retreat even in the face of imbalance, weightlessness, and intense pressure.

They understood that at this moment, they were the only sharp blade in the multiverse to fight against the corruption and depravity of despair!
Liya sat cross-legged on the side of the high platform, calmly chanting the rhythm of life. The sacred notes echoed and shone in the air, warm and lingering like ripples, forging a spiritual shield for the soldiers on the front line.

The flame of hope seems to continuously gather and flow into every soul like a sacred spring, enabling them to maintain a clear will and steadfastly hold their posts even when stripped of their momentum and plunged into a weightless turmoil.

Lena stood at the highest point of the storm, holding the power of the elements in her hands. She shouted a prayer, merging thunder and flames into the raging storm that swept across the entire area, using the ultimate elemental power to block the pulse-like attack and stripping away.

This merging frenzy was like a divine roar, stirring up rolling thunderclouds across the heavens and earth, trying its best to disperse and block the corrupted spores and entropy-increasing virus information entities.

However, the beads of sweat on Lena's forehead showed that this battle was extremely exhausting, and she knew in her heart that the true outcome was still uncertain. "I can't let these spores find any breakthrough!"

David stared ahead, his face etched with fatigue, but his eyes grew ever sharper and more determined.

He brandished his phase dagger, and one after another, crimson-gold and dark blue information sword energies slashed through the air, tearing through the void and building an insurmountable line of order for everyone.

"All troops on high alert! Any slackening will lead to destruction!" His voice was powerful and resounding across the storm-swept plains to every corner.

Just then, a roar even more violent than before resounded through the sky—

The Law Destroyer suddenly raised its mechanical arm, and the data blade covered with strange inscriptions cleaved towards a large area of ​​hard rocky land in the center of the Crystal Song Plain.

In an instant, the earth shattered and exploded, countless rocks scattering everywhere. The sharp blades left behind a kilometer-long, blood-red scorched earth, while the chaotic spatial vortex churned and twisted the still unstable information grids, paralyzing the local area.

This is the most naked and brutal destruction of the laws of nature by mechanical monsters!
Anne frowned, focusing all her efforts on adjusting the core operating parameters inside the Titan.

Activated by the digital deluge, the colossal steel humanoid suddenly stood up, raising its fists high, and slammed them towards the explosion area in front of it.

A torrent of information, more powerful yet stable and pure than before, suddenly surged forth, colliding with the enemy aircraft's sharp edge and erupting in a massive explosion. At the same time, it guided environmental elements to form a barrier to block further corrosive attacks. "We must hold it back!"

Sophia led the knights to cut into the enemy's flank, and they sped through the misty illusion, once again launching precise attacks.

When the sword tip slices through the entropy-increasing spore network, it creates an instantaneous purification reaction, causing the deadly chains to break and collapse, giving the overall defense a precious respite.

Meanwhile, Lia continued to cast the Life Rhythm Shield, extending the lives of these vanguard knights and allowing them to maintain maximum combat efficiency and mental clarity, undaunted by the rampant interference and psychological pressure.

In an instant, smoke filled the air, and various offensive and defensive skills converged and burst forth.

This is a paradise ruin where everyone fought with all their might and spared no expense to make hope burn brightly, and it is also the last bulwark formed by the will of warriors from all walks of life!
David turned to Anne: "How much longer can Titan hold out?"

“It can hold out for a short time,” Anne said resolutely, “but steel alone cannot hold out forever. We must seize the opportunity to launch the next offensive.”

Lena, her face covered in sweat, still stood tall: "I will do my best to use the pure power of nature to block more pathways, but the adaptability of these spores is beyond imagination... We need more support."

Sofia's voice was cold and resolute: "The Illusion Forest will continue to penetrate deep behind enemy lines to weaken their foundations and at the same time launch a deceptive and disruptive operation to create opportunities for the main force!"

Lia prayed softly: "The spirit will not be lost due to fatigue, and the prologue to the new era will surely begin with the united will of all."

The Law Demolitionist's colossal, mountain-like steel body stood majestically on the cracked, blood-stained earth, its mechanical joints emitting a piercing metallic scraping sound, each movement sending up clouds of dust and flying debris.

Its eyes, reflecting data from a pair of eerie blue flames, gleamed with cold ruthlessness, like an immortal beast watching over this land that was about to be dismembered and reshaped.

Amidst the churning thick clouds high in the sky, a dark and unique stream of informational light surged forth from deep within the Law Dismantler's breastplate.

It slowly raised its mechanical arm, at the end of which condensed a strangely shaped "causality missile" that emitted flowing runes.

The missile gleamed with a mysterious purplish-black aura, its surface covered with complex and ancient informational runes—a destructive weapon designed to tear apart the core structure of the causal chain of time and space.

The entire Crystal Song Plain fell silent, as if all things in heaven and earth were holding their breath, watching the fatal blow that was about to strike.

David gripped the phase dagger tightly, his brows furrowed, and crimson-gold and ghostly-blue flames leaped and burned between the runes on his armor.

He looked at the "causality missile" mentioned by the law dismantler, whose mechanical arm was gradually raising and ready to be launched, and a resolute expression appeared on his face that allowed no retreat or hesitation.

"We absolutely cannot let this missile hit the Titan!" he roared in a low voice. "Otherwise... we will lose our last line of defense!"

Annie knelt inside the core control cabin of the humanoid colossus that had been transformed after the Northern Fortress was completed. Her eyes were slightly narrowed, and the holographic interface was reflected on her cold face. Every data fluctuation seemed to be testing the edge of the collapsing order.

"Activate the time anchor device!" she ordered through gritted teeth. "This is the last line of defense! The Hourglass of Time, the 'Eye of Twilight,' must be activated!"

Surrounded by countless complex instruments and magical arrays, she operated her hands rapidly, tuning the data prism to its limit.

A faint purple, quicksand-like information particle slowly fell from the center of the device, like the oldest rhythm in the universe dripping down.

This is the legendary treasure left behind by the "Eye of Twilight"—a mysterious artifact that manipulates time fluctuations and allows one to revisit future possibilities.

Outside the Northern Fortress, the newly awakened humanoid Titan stood tall in the sky. Its magnificent steel body steadily withstood the rampant corrupting energy around the cracks. One of its fists slammed into the ground in front of it, causing shockwaves to spread out like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing.
