Chapter 22: The Vacuum Phase Change Disaster

Kyle, Elena, and Lucian managed to sabotage part of An's conspiracy after a fierce battle, but at that moment, the Observer Program headquarters was messed up by Chang'an's self destruct program. The walls shook violently, stones fell from above, and cracks in the floor widened with a chilling sound. The sound of the alarm echoed throughout the space, as if it were the death knell of misfortune.

"We have to get the hell out of here!" Kyle shouted, his voice a little weak inside the shaking headquarters, but his steely resolve was undiminished. He gripped the Geiger Counter tightly and eyed his crumbling surroundings warily, always ready to deal with any dangers that might arise.

Elena nodded with a grave expression on her face as she concentrated on trying to find a safe way out with her quantum perception. Her long silver-white hair fluttered wildly in the chaotic energy fluctuations, and the Klein Bottle Topology iris in her left eye flashed intensely, constantly analyzing the energy changes around her. "There might be a passage over here, let's try!" She pointed in a direction and said loudly.

Although Lucien was seriously injured, he still endured the pain, showing the tenacious vitality of a werewolf. His silver-gray wolf ears trembled slightly, always listening to the movements around him to prevent any enemies from taking advantage of the chaos to attack. "Alright, I'll open the way in front!" He roared, a green quantized wolf venom energy surging from his body as he rushed in the direction Elena had indicated.

The three of them trudged through the crumbling headquarters, constantly dodging falling rocks and sudden energy turbulence. Every step was fraught with danger, and the slightest mishap could result in being buried in the rubble. Just as they were about to approach the passage, suddenly, the energy of the entire space changed drastically, and a powerful and bizarre force began to permeate the air.

"What kind of energy is this? It feels so wrong!" Kyle frowned, he could sense that this energy contained a great deal of destructive power and was unlike any energy they had encountered before. The Geiger counter beeped frantically and the needle swung violently, showing the abnormal fluctuations in the energy around them.

Elena's face became extremely ugly, her quantum perception ability allowed her to feel the terrifying nature of this energy even more clearly. "Not good, this could be a vacuum phase change triggered by the oscillation of the Higgs field! If we don't stop it, the entire world will be plunged into a huge disaster!" There was a hint of anxiety in her voice, this situation was something they had never anticipated before.

As soon as the words fell, one could only see the surrounding space begin to distort, and the originally sturdy walls and ground instantly turned into pieces, swept away by an invisible force. The air was filled with a bizarre light, and all sorts of strange particles fluttered about chaotically, colliding with each other and emitting dazzling flashes of light. In the distance, a huge column of energy shot up into the sky, as if it was going to tear the entire world apart.

"We can't let this continue!" Kyle gritted his teeth, knowing full well that the consequences would be unimaginable if he allowed the Higgs field oscillations to get out of control. He quickly thought of a way to deal with it, his brain racing, trying to find a way to solve the problem from his knowledge of quantum physics.

"I'll try stabilizing the Higgs Field with the Blood Crystal Matrix!" Elena said, and without hesitation, she mobilized the Blood Crystal Matrix within her body. The Blood Crystal Matrix instantly emitted an intense light that enveloped her body. She focused her mind and released the energy of the Blood Crystal Matrix in an attempt to counteract each other with the Higgs Field's oscillating energy.

However, the vibrations of the Higgs Field were too powerful, and the energy of the Blood Crystal Matrix was somewhat insignificant in front of it. Beads of sweat covered Elena's forehead as she clenched her teeth and continuously increased her energy output, but she felt her power being consumed little by little. "No, this isn't enough!" She said with a ragged breath.

Lucien looked at Elena's strained form and a sense of determination welled up in his heart. He knew that someone had to make a sacrifice now to stop this disaster. "I'll give you my power as well!" He said, ignoring the injuries on his body, and injected the energy of Quantum Wolfsbane into Elena's Blood Crystal Matrix.

Under the joint efforts of Lucien and Elena, the energy of the Blood Crystal Matrix was greatly boosted. The light became brighter and brighter, forming a powerful energy shield that temporarily resisted the impact of the Higgs Field's vibrations. But it was only temporary, and they knew that they had to find a more effective way to completely stabilize the Higgs Field.

Kyle was nervously observing the situation from the sidelines when suddenly, a flash of light came to his mind. "I remember finding out in my research that quantum fluctuations of specific frequencies can resonate with the Higgs field, thus stabilizing it! We can try this method!" He said aloud.

Elena and Lucien looked at each other with a glimmer of hope in their eyes. "Okay, tell us how to do it!" Elena asked eagerly.

Kyle quickly pulled out the Geiger counter and began to adjust its frequency. His fingers flew over the instrument, his eyes focused and determined. "We need to adjust the energy frequencies of the Blood Crystal Matrix and the Geiger Counter to be the same, and then fire them out at the same time to form a resonance wave!" He explained as he operated.

After some tense adjustments, Kyle and Elena finally finished adjusting their frequencies. They looked at each other once more and nodded slightly before launching their attacks at the same time. The energy fluctuations emitted by the Blood Crystal Matrix and the Geiger Counter intertwined with each other, forming a brilliant beam that shot towards the chaotic Higgs Field.

The moment the beam came into contact with the Higgs field, the entire space seemed to stand still. The Higgs field, which was originally wildly vibrating, began to gradually calm down under the effect of this resonance wave. The strange particles no longer flew around, the energy pillars gradually disappeared, and the distortion of space slowly returned to normal.

"It worked!" Kyle shouted excitedly, but before his words could fall, the Higgs Field suddenly shook violently once more, and this time it was even more powerful than before.

"How did this happen?" Elena's face was filled with shock, she had put her best foot forward, but she didn't expect such a turn of events to occur in the Higgs Field.

Quickly analyzing the situation, Kyle noticed that the Higgs field seemed to be mixed with an unknown energy that was constantly interfering with their stabilization measures. "It must be some other conspiracy of the Observer program! We must find a way to identify the source of this energy!" He said.

Just then, Lucien suddenly felt a familiar scent. His wolf ears twitched slightly and he looked in the direction of the scent. "It's those blood clansmen and werewolves! They seem to be performing some kind of ritual that might be related to this energy!" He said aloud.

Kyle and Elena immediately looked in the direction Lucien was pointing, only to see that on a huge platform not far away, a group of Bloods and Lycans were surrounding a huge device, chanting under their breath. The device was flickering with a strange light, constantly injecting that unknown energy into the Higgs Field.

"We can't let them get away with this!" Kyle said angrily, grabbing his Geiger counter and preparing to rush over to stop them.

"Wait, Kyle! They're outnumbered, and we don't know the specifics of that device yet, we can't rush in." Elena said calmly as she reached out to stop Kyle.

Lucien frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "I have an idea. I'll start by utilizing the werewolf's agility to sneak up on them and see if I can sabotage that device. You guys provide cover for me here."

Kyle and Elena looked at each other and both felt that this was the only viable option at the moment. "Okay, you be careful!" Elena admonished.

Lucien nodded, then his figure flickered and disappeared into the darkness. With the werewolf's sharp perception and nimble hands, he silently traveled through the ruins and gradually approached that platform.

However, the Bloods and Lycans seemed to be on guard. When Lucien was about to approach the platform, suddenly, a group of Blood Race rushed out from the shadows and attacked him. The eyes of these Blood Clansmen flickered with a strange light, and their bodies exuded powerful energy fluctuations.

"Hmph, it's not that easy to sabotage our plan!" A Blood Clan sneered, condensing a black energy ball in his hand and shooting it towards Lucien.

Lucien quickly dodged, his body nimbly weaving between the energy balls. "You guys, how dare you disregard the safety of the world for your own interests!" He roared angrily, then swung his wolf claws and lunged at the Bloods.

Lucien fought fiercely with the Bloods, and with his strong werewolf strength and flexible fighting skills, he was not defeated for a while. But as the Bloods kept coming, he gradually felt a bit overwhelmed.

"Lucien, we're here to help you!" Kyle and Elena immediately rushed over when they saw Lucien in trouble. Kyle fired powerful energy beams with his Geiger Counter, attacking the Bloods; Elena manipulated the Blood Crystal Matrix, releasing various defense and attack skills to provide cover for Lucien.

Under the joint efforts of the three, the Bloods were gradually repelled. However, at that moment, the energy of that device was getting stronger and stronger, and the vibrations of the Higgs Field were getting more and more violent.

"There's no time, we have to destroy this device now!" Kyle shouted.

The trio rushed towards the device, only to find that it was protected by a powerful energy shield around it. Kyle tries to attack the shield with his Geiger counter, but the shield only flickers slightly and is not broken.

"This shield is too powerful, what should we do?" Lucien said anxiously.

Elena concentrated on the shield, and she noticed that the energy fluctuations of the shield seemed to be related to a certain frequency. "Kyle, you use the Geiger counter to send out fluctuations of a specific frequency, and I'll use the Blood Crystal Matrix to channel those fluctuations, and we'll try to see if we can break the shield." She said.

Kyle immediately acted on Elena's instructions as he adjusted the frequency of the Geiger counter to emit a wave. Elena, in turn, used her quantum sensing ability to direct these fluctuations, causing them to resonate with the energy of the shield.

Under the efforts of the two, the shield began to loosen, and the light on it gradually weakened. "Come on, more effort!" Kyle shouted.

Finally, with a loud bang, the shield shattered. Without hesitation, the three rushed towards the device, ready to destroy it.

However, just as they were about to approach the device, suddenly, a figure appeared in front of it. It was none other than Tien, and although he looked a bit distressed, his eyes were still filled with madness and unwillingness.

"Did you think you could easily ruin my plans? Too naive!" Tien sneered.

"Dean, your plot has failed, stop struggling unnecessarily!" Kyle said angrily.

Tien, however, paid no attention to Kyle's words as he suddenly activated the device and an even more powerful energy surged out of the device towards the three.

"Watch out!" Elena shouted as she quickly formed a defense barrier with her Blood Crystal Matrix against the energy. However, the energy was too powerful and cracks began to appear in the defense barrier.

"No, we can't stop this energy!" Elena said through clenched teeth.

A wave of despair welled up in Kyle as he watched the approaching energy. But he quickly pulled himself together again, knowing that he couldn't give up now. "Let's push together, we can definitely block it!" He said, pouring all his energy into the Geiger counter.

Lucien wasn't willing to show weakness either, as he released all the remaining quantized wolfsbane energy in his body. The energy of the three of them converged together and stalemated with that powerful energy.

In the heat of the confrontation, Elena realized that the oscillation of the Higgs field seemed to be related to a core component of the device. In her mind, she decided to take a chance. "Kyle, Lucien, you guys buy me some time while I destroy that core component!" She said.

Kyle and Lucien understood Elena's intentions, and they increased their energy output to fully fend off Tien's attack. Elena, on the other hand, took the opportunity to rush towards the device, she avoided the energy turbulence around her and quickly approached the core component.

Just as she was about to approach the core component, Tien realized her intentions. "Don't you dare destroy it!" He roared, parting a portion of his energy to strike at Elena.

Elena was unable to dodge and was hit by this energy, her body flying backwards. However, she still kept her eyes on the core component, adjusting her body in mid-air and rushing towards it once again.

"Elena!" Kyle and Lucian shouted at the same time, their hearts racing but unable to separate themselves.

With her tenacity, Elena finally rushed to the core component. Without hesitation, she injected the energy of the Blood Crystal Matrix into the core component in an attempt to destroy it.

The core components began to emit violent trembling under the impact of the blood crystal matrix's energy. The light flickered continuously, seemingly in a final struggle.

"No!" Tien let out a desperate roar as he saw this scene. He tried to stop Elena, but was firmly held back by Kyle and Lucien's attacks.

With a loud bang, the core component was finally destroyed. The device stopped functioning, and the powerful energy disappeared instantly. The tremors of the Higgs field also gradually subsided, and the world temporarily regained its peace.

"Whew, it's finally over." Kyle let out a sigh of relief, his body a bit weakened from the excessive consumption of energy.

"It's not over yet, we need to get out of here, the headquarters could collapse completely at any moment." Elena said.

The three supported each other and struggled to find an exit in the ruins. Finally, they found a passage and followed it to escape the Observer Program headquarters.

The moment they stepped out of the headquarters, a loud explosion came from behind them. The Observer Program's headquarters completely collapsed and was reduced to rubble.

Kyle, Elena and Lucien looked at the ruins with a lot of emotions. They knew that although they had managed to stop part of Tien's plot this time, the threat of the Observer program still existed.

"We can't let our guard down, there must be other conspiracies in the Observer program." Kyle said.

Elena nodded, "That's true, but we don't have to be afraid. As long as we stick together, we will be able to handle any challenge."

Lucien also gave a determined smile, "Yes, we're a team!"

Right at this moment, Elena suddenly sensed some changes in the Blood Crystal Matrix. She concentrated her senses and found that the Blood Crystal Matrix had absorbed a large amount of energy during the battle just now, and had actually evolved into a topological quantum state.

"Kyle, Lucien, look, the Blood Crystal Matrix has evolved!" Elena said in surprise.

Kyle and Lucian looked at the strange glow emanating from Elena and were happy for her. "This is the result of our joint efforts!" Kyle said.

However, before they could properly celebrate, suddenly, Elena felt another strange fluctuation. Her face changed, ''Not good, this fluctuation is familiar, it's the 14th Calibrator's fluctuation! Moreover, this fluctuation is even stronger than before, it seems to have appeared at the center of this disaster, I don't know what new crisis it will bring ..."

In front of this future full of unknowns and dangers, Kyle, Elena, and Lucien know deep down that their adventure is far from over. But they are undaunted, for they have a strong belief and support for each other, and they will bravely face whatever awaits them ahead.
