Mist-shrouded dawn, the "Orange Mothership" hovered above the Sabaody Archipelago like a floating orange mirror.
Leon stood atop the command tower, the counter on his right hand ticking: 113:00:00 (frozen).[System Alert:Next node·Tree-Core locked]Nami unfolded a Sabaody topography chart, finger landing on a bubble-outlined route: "Target: Sabaody. The tree-core lies at the root of the 'Great Tree Eve'—backup port 09."Leon spawned "Bubble Stabilisers"—pink glowing wing-plates that generate buoyancy synchronized with Sabaody's bubble flow, allowing the mothership to hover above the resin bubbles without being swallowed.They landed on "Bubble Glider Blocks", leaving two glowing bubble trails like pixel-outlined paths.
In the distance, at the root of Great Tree Eve, a rainbow beam shot skyward—like an inverted bubble sceptre.Below the tree a pink-haired teen blocked: "Humans? Why carry Sea-Prism scent?"Leon showed the pseudo Sea-Prism badge: "We are 'pixel envoys' here to purify the tree-core—please guide us."The teen hesitated, but a rainbow chain slashed over—Supernova "Kid" arrived on the "Bubble Ark", body wrapped in bubble chains, voice like shattering glass: "Mortals, dare trespass in my domain!"Kid raised his hand; "Bubble Iron Chain" shot at the mothership—a one-metre rainbow chain straight at the hull.
Leon instantly spawned a "bedrock dome" to shield the ship; the chain struck the dome, erupting kilometre-rainbow mist yet failed to penetrate.Kid's pupils shrank: "Blocked the bubble chain? Interesting!"
He turned and flew toward the root of Great Tree Eve, voice echoing: "Come to the root, defeat me, the tree-core is yours; fail, and stay forever as bubble fuel!"Leon and Nami glanced at each other, nodding together: "Exactly what we want."At the root of Great Tree Eve, suspended above bubbles, pure pink-crystal construction, the central altar hovered a fifteen-metre "Tree-Core Heart"—surface covered with pink resin and black code, each beat releasing a ring of bubble pulses.The system popped:[Backup Port 09:Tree-Core Mirror Heart]
[Purification condition:defeat guardian BOSS·Bubble Kid]The altar floor cracked; Kid's whole-body bubbles skyrocketed, transforming into a hundred-metre rainbow dragon, mouth emitting synthetic sound: "Refuse purification—execute bubble formatting!"Battle erupted.
Kid's tail swept the altar into a smooth plane; Leon kept spawning "bedrock platforms" and "redstone lightning rods" for aerial guerrilla strikes.Nami drove "Clima-Tact·Bubble Dragon", summoning a hundred-metre bubble whip that intertwined with Kid's bubbles, forcibly contesting bubble control.Final strike—
Leon raised the "Uranus Core" high; the core released a black absorption pulse, forcibly sucking Kid's "bubble chains" into the core, the chains disintegrating instantly.Kid let out a final electronic screech, body disintegrating into sky-wide rainbow bubbles, a reversed firework.
The tree-core heart stopped beating and transformed into the ninth "Uranus fragment".System prompts refreshed:[Backup Port 09 purification complete]
[Pixel rule writing progress:4.0 %]
[Next node:Paramount War·War-Core]The pink-haired teen witnessed everything, eyes complex: "You... defeated the bubble god?"
Leon smiled: "No, we only defeated 'vanity'."He turned away, his back reflected in the bubbles like moving code.
Nami caught up and whispered: "You just said 'vanity'—what do you mean?"Leon gazed at the bubble-sea reddened by sunset: "It means this world will no longer be controlled by 'vanity', but by 'truth'."Count-down 113 hours—continues.
