Chapter 162 Return

[\(^o^)/~The last step!!]

The system shouted excitedly, as if it had made the perfect pendant that was integrated with the magic circle itself.

Meros ignored it, only checking to see if Lin Xiyue had been woken up. Finding Lin Xiyue still asleep, he then picked up the small spherical piece of spacetime power.

Just as Meros was about to insert the spacetime power into the pendant, the system stopped him.

[Wait! Wait! You can't just shove it in like that!]

The system then remembered that it had something it hadn't told Meros, and hurriedly called a halt.

Meros raised his eyes and glanced at the system.

Only then did the system realize with alarm that Meros's deep eyes were filled with dense, crisscrossing blood vessels!

He looked as if he hadn't slept for several nights in a row, exhausted yet exuding a chillingly gloomy aura.

At this moment, his eyes were like a venomous snake lurking in the darkness, cold and full of malice. The deep obsession and madness contained within them left no doubt that if anyone dared to touch the taboo in his heart—Lin Xiyue—they would surely suffer his most ferocious revenge.

For Moros, Lin Xiyue seemed to be more than just an ordinary person; she was more like an invisible chain that tightly bound all his reason and emotions.

At least for now, she was the center of his world, and all his actions revolved around her.

Even the slightest factor that might be detrimental to Lin Xiyue would likely ignite the long-suppressed anger within Meros.

[No, don't yell at me. I, I'll tell you right away. You need to put this pendant on the host first, so that the spacetime power within her can sense this magic array and establish a connection with it before you can embed the smaller one into it.]

The system trembled under their gaze, shrinking into a ball within its system space, and hurriedly told Meros what to do.

After listening to the system's instructions, Meros picked up the pendant and put it on Lin Xiyue.

"Om-"

As soon as the pendant was put on Lin Xiyue, the space emitted a vibrating buzzing sound.

The buzzing sound, as loud as a bell, resounded through the sky and spread with astonishing speed and power, its sonic boom reaching almost the entire city!

Whether they are pedestrians in a bustling city, white-collar workers busy in their offices, or residents resting at home, everyone who hears this mysterious and awe-inspiring buzzing sound instinctively stands up abruptly.

Their gazes, as if drawn by a magnet, were all turned toward the direction of the psionic center.

When this indescribable sound reached their ears, people instantly felt a surge of inexplicable tension, as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping everyone's heart.

The oppressive feeling was so intense that breathing became rapid. As the seconds passed, the tension intensified, as if a heavy mountain was pressing down on the chest, making it hard to breathe.

If this eerie buzzing sound had continued for longer, everyone would probably have had a terrible premonition that they were about to suffocate and die.

[Yes, yes, now! Quick, put it in.]

The system ignored the buzzing sound and seized the opportunity to have Meros quickly insert the small piece of spacetime power.

Just then, the buzzing stopped, and the pendant emitted a faint, deep blue light with a silvery sheen.

Seeing this, the system hurriedly told Meros to quickly insert the power of spacetime. Now was the best time to deceive spacetime and make them become one again.

Meros also obeyed the system's instructions and quickly stuffed the spacetime power into it.

"Ugh...uh—ah—"

"It hurts... it hurts..."

Lin Xiyue, who was in a deep sleep, suddenly let out a shrill cry of pain!

The scream was like a thunderclap ripped through the night sky, and it pierced Meros's heart as well. He quickly embraced Meros, trying to comfort her.

However, immediately afterward, Lin Xiyue's delicate body began to convulse violently and uncontrollably, as if tormented by an invisible and powerful force.

Her legs convulsed violently as if she had been electrocuted, the muscles so tense they seemed about to break. Her calves, which should have been as white as jade, were now bulging with veins, a shocking sight.

At the same time, Lin Xiyue's eyes suddenly rolled upwards, revealing large areas of pale whites, which horrified Moros, who could only continuously send energy to alleviate her pain.

Her mouth was wide open, opening and closing frantically, as if trying to inhale more air to relieve the excruciating pain coming from inside her body.

However, every effort seemed to be in vain, and the rapid breathing echoed in the silent room, adding to the unsettling atmosphere.

"System! How could this happen?!"

Meros's words were filled with a raging anger, and he wished he could tear the system to shreds right then and there.

[This, this isn't my fault, it's normal. It's just that the host's body is too weak, and this isn't a one-time time travel, so, that's why this happened!]

The system was also somewhat at a loss. After checking the data for a while, it realized that this was not the first time it had traveled through time and space, and that using this method again would cause unbearable pain.

"Ouch—it hurts—ah—"

Lin Xiyue cried out in pain, arching her pale body in agony and frantically scratching at the sheets.

[Uh, the only way now is to send her back to her original timeline as soon as possible, otherwise it will definitely collapse! (⊙﹏⊙)b]

Seeing Lin Xiyue like this, the system was heartbroken and revealed the final solution.

"How do I deliver it?!"

Melos held Lin Xiyue tightly, preventing her from hurting herself any further.

[You channel energy into this pendant, giving it your all, and once you reach a critical point, it will explode, and she will be taken back. But you absolutely mustn't touch her then, because you'll be right next to her when she travels through time, and things will go wrong between you.]

The system spoke quickly; this was the first time it had ever spoken at such a fast pace.

Without the slightest hesitation, Meros immediately grasped the pendant that had already floated up and began frantically pouring energy into it.

In an instant, a surging, overwhelming energy erupted like a burst dam, its speed astonishing! This powerful force instantly filled the entire room, causing a violent tremor. Everything in the room began to shake; tables and chairs swayed, and books on the shelves fell to the ground.

Even the small objects that were originally placed quietly could not be spared; they seemed to be lifted up by an invisible hand and slowly floated into the air.
