The grey sky was no longer static; it was a swirling ocean of jagged glass and obsidian smoke. Hundreds of Echo-Wraiths descended, their shrieks vibrating through the very marrow of Fang Yuan's bones. They weren't just attacking; they were attempting to "unweave" his existence.
"Master! They are too many!" Lia cried out, her indigo threads fraying as she tried to maintain a perimeter. "The space here is too thin to hold a shield!"
Fang Yuan's eyes remained cold, two points of unwavering violet light. "We are not building a shield, Lia. We are building a Breach."
He stepped between the twitching bodies of Kaelen and Zane. His fingers moved with lightning speed, weaving a complex web of indigo cables that linked the "Heroic Luck" in Kaelen to the "Shadow Essence" in Zane. He wasn't just connecting them; he was forcing their polar-opposite energies to collide within the hollow chambers of their souls.
"RANK 2 ART: SPACE-TIME COLLISION - THE GREAT VOID-REND!"
Fang Yuan slammed his palms into the chests of his two puppets. A blinding explosion of monochromatic light erupted. Kaelen's marble-grey skin and Zane's jagged shadows began to melt into one another, forming a swirling vortex of "Null-Energy."
As the first wave of Echo-Wraiths struck, they didn't shatter—they were inhaled. The combined essence of the Hero and the Rebel, corrupted by the Void, acted as a vacuum that feasted on the wraiths.
"More..." Fang Yuan whispered, his face pale from the strain of controlling such unstable power. "Eat more! Become the anchor for my escape!"
The vortex grew, turning into a massive indigo and black sphere that sucked in the grey sky itself. The pressure became so intense that the translucent sand beneath them began to disintegrate into pure darkness.
Fang Yuan saw his opening—a thin, white crack in the fabric of the Void, caused by the sheer density of the absorbed energy. It was a Wormhole leading out of this graveyard, but it was closing fast.
"Lia! Now!"
Fang Yuan grabbed the central thread of the fusion-vortex, dragging the fused forms of Kaelen and Zane with him. He didn't run; he folded the distance between himself and the white crack.
With a roar of collapsing dimensions, they plummeted into the rift just as the Echo-Wraiths' collective shriek reached its peak. The Null-Dimension behind them imploded, leaving nothing but silence.
