Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System-Chapter 615: Homerun
The light dissipated.
What was left of Sigma was a clump of liquid metal slag, floating in space like molten ore.
Green and purple fog leaked out from it.
The fog tried to scatter, but the space around it was still warped, trapping it close.
Alex raised his palm.
The green fog trembled, then streamed toward him.
His eyes stayed cold as he absorbed it.
With his other hand, he drew a rune and shot it forward.
The rune sank into the slag, locking it in place for a heartbeat, forcing the purple fog to stop moving.
Alex don’t want to take any risk.
Who knows what will happen if that much space energy roam free in the space.
Meanwhile, MingYue put all her focus on the planet surface.
With Sigma in this condition, the dome had no protection against her.
She lifted both hands, sending another wave.
A wide circle of ice formed in front of her, then stretched outward like a blade.
She pushed it down.
The ice cut through the atmosphere in a clean arc, carving a pale line across the sky.
It struck the dome.
CRACK!
The dome’s glow flickered.
The rune lines on its surface stuttered, trying to stabilize.
MingYue did not stop.
She spread her wings and send more power.
A deep freeze surged out like a tide.
It rushed across the dome’s structure, freezing the rune, freezing the flow of energy.
The formation broke.
Green mist that had been rising from the city snapped apart and fell like shattered smoke.
The magic circle above the city cracked.
Then it shattered.
Pieces of light scattered and vanished, like broken glass made of energy.
Below, the city was silent.
People lay on the ground, gasping, shaking, confused.
A man who had collapsed forced himself to sit up, breathing hard.
A woman who had been crawling stopped shaking and pressed her hand to her chest, feeling strength return.
Children stopped crying as the weakness faded out of their limbs.
Voices rose in panic.
"What’s happening?"
"I suddenly got weak."
"Why can’t I move?"
"Wait... my baby!"
Some people staggered toward their families, grabbing them, checking them, terrified that they were too late.
Others looked at their hands and screamed.
Their skin had wrinkled.
Their hair had turned gray.
Their bodies looked aged, as if years had passed by.
Some were still breathing, but their eyes were empty, and their bodies looked like dried trees.
It was not everyone.
But it was enough to make the city fall into chaos.
MingYue’s expression stayed cold as she watched the dome collapse completely.
She reached Alex in seconds.
Alex was already moving.
He raised the warhammer again, and slammed it down toward the slag.
BAM!
The liquid metal clump splashed outward, then gathered back together like dough being kneaded.
It looked like someone making mochi in midair.
Alex did not laugh.
He pummeled it again.
BAM! BAM!
Each strike forced purple fog out, and each time the slag tried to pull itself back.
MingYue did not have time to find it funny either.
She drew her sword.
Her blade covered with pure ice qi.
She thrust it forward.
The sword pierced into the slag.
Frost exploded outward.
Ice spread across the liquid metal, trying to freeze it all at once and stop it from reshaping.
The slag shuddered.
Purple fog surged against the ice, trying to melt it from inside.
Alex’s eyes narrowed.
He raised his palm again and pulled harder on the green fog, absorbing it before it could return.
Then he drew another rune and slammed it into the frozen mass.
This time, the rune was a sealing one.
He want to seal Sigma Consciousness.
The frozen slag twitched.
Then it went still for a single breath.
And in that breath, Alex felt something inside it.
Trying to wake up again.
MingYue released her sword.
With a simple gesture, the blade trembled, then shattered.
It dissolved into mist.
Ice qi spread outward then began linking to itself like threads.
The mist spiraled.
An ice lotus bloomed in space, large enough to wrap the frozen slag in its center.
Alex moved his hands and drew runes in the air.
Sealing marks.
Binding marks.
He pressed those runes into MingYue’s lotus.
The lotus reacted.
Its petals lit up with faint rune lines.
MingYue’s raised her palm and pushed more ice qi into the lotus core.
Alex did the same, feeding it with rune power and his life force.
The purple fog inside the slag tried to surge.
But the combined force of them both crushed the movement down.
The frozen slag twitched one last time.
Then it stopped.
MingYue let out a slow breath. "It’s sealed."
Alex’s gaze stayed cold. "Not enough."
Normally, he would keep speciment like this.
He would take it apart piece by piece.
But Sigma was too dangerous.
Sigma’s sentience carried limitless potential for evolution.
It had already crossed lines that did not make sense.
Alex would not gamble with that kind of enemy.
He gathered his strength.
Qi surged again.
He lifted the warhammer and rotated his shoulder, as if preparing for a simple swing.
Like hitting a ball.
MingYue moved aside without asking.Alex stepped in.
He looked at the sealed lotus one last time.
"Goodbye," he said.
Then he swung.
BOOM!
The warhammer struck the lotus.
Space cracked from the impact.
The sealed prison shot forward like a comet, dragged by the force of Alex’s strike.
It accelerated faster and faster, leaving a white trail of compressed light behind it.
It crossed the distance toward the sun in a straight line.
MingYue watched it go, eyes narrowed.
The comet shrank into a bright dot.
Then it touched the sun.
For a single breath, nothing happened.
The lotus seal resisted, holding together even under that heat.
Then the sun swallowed it.
A flare erupted.
A brief bloom of white and purple light burst from the sun’s surface.
Alex lowered the warhammer.
Only then did the tension in his shoulders ease, just a little.
"Is that enough?" MingYue asked.
