The vertical current catapulted the "Orange Mothership" sky-high, then along a parabola into a primeval sea.
Morning mist hid two gigantic silhouettes—hundred-metre dinosaur skeletons laced with blue pixel circuits, like glowing blood-vessels growing out of fossils.Leon stood at the bow, the counter on his right hand ticking: 119:00:00.[System Alert:Next node·Little Garden·Pixel Fossils locked]Nami lowered her telescope, voice tight: "Those aren't ordinary fossils—they're source-code 'backup ports'. We have to wake them."As the mothership neared the island, deafening roars shook the beach—
Two giants wielded pixelated great-swords, battling a herd of circuit-covered dinosaurs.One giant laughed like thunder: "Hahaha! The scent of oranges! Friends!"
The other frowned: "But those 'circuit tyrants' welcome no one!"Leon and Nami landed in a glass boat; the sand beneath was charred black by electric currents.
Tyrannosaurs turned, eyes blazing with blue data-light, like remotely piloted drones, and charged.Leon raised his hand; a "bedrock wall" shot up, blocking the first impact.
He then spawned a "Redstone Signal Jammer"—a purple tuning-fork that he drove into the sand, emitting high-frequency pulses.Wherever the pulses passed, the circuits on the dinosaurs went dark; the beasts regained primal wildness and fled into the jungle in panic.The two giants were stunned. "You can remove the 'data erosion'?"Leon explained: along the source-code route plants and animals were eroded by "Uranus fragments" and turned into backup ports; each must be purified to prevent the world from being completely formatted.The giants introduced themselves:
"Brogy" and "Dorry"—warriors who left Elbaph a century ago, trapped in Little Garden after straying into a source-code node, their bodies slowly eroded by circuits.They led Leon and Nami into the "Pixel Canyon"—a crystal-coated rift where the third "Uranus fragment" lay—a giant heart, each beat releasing a ring of blue data waves.Leon placed his hand on the heart; the system popped:[Backup Port 03:Pixel Fossil Heart]
[Purification condition:defeat guardian BOSS·Circuit Tyrant King]The ground shook; a hundred-metre Tyrant King burst from the soil, circuit wings on its back, tail like a fibre-optic whip.
It opened its mouth and emitted synthetic sound: "Refuse purification—execute formatting!"Battle erupted.
The king's tail swept the canyon into a smooth plane; Leon kept spawning "bedrock platforms" and "redstone missiles" for aerial guerrilla strikes.Nami drove "Clima-Tact·Thunder Dragon", summoning a hundred-metre lightning whip that coiled round the king's neck, forcibly shutting its circuit core.
The final blow—Leon drove the "Uranus Core" into the king's chest; the core released a black pulse that absorbed all circuits in the canyon at once.The king let out a final electronic whale-cry, body disintegrating into countless blue light spots, like a meteor shower in reverse.
The spots fell; the fossil heart stopped beating and transformed into the third "Uranus fragment".System prompts refreshed:[Backup Port 03 purification complete]
[Pixel rule writing progress:1.0 %]
[Next node:Drum Island·Snow Core]The circuit patterns on Brogy and Dorry faded; the giants knelt on one knee: "Elbaph warriors swear to escort the 'pixel envoy'!"Leon helped the giants to their feet and gazed at the cloud-sea reddened by sunset: "Then next stop, Drum Island."
"We will rewrite the entire world into the shape of freedom within these one-hundred-twenty hours."Count-down 119 hours—continues.
