The thin beam of starlight from the Time Wraith Star–Eater Beast slowly locked onto Pineapple Beers chest.
If this attack landed, it would pin her right back to the moment she was always meant to die.
Riley sprinted forward, but the chaotic time currents slowed her down.
Tart King stretched her hand out with everything she had, her fingertips still inches away from Pineapple Beer.
Pineapple Beer stood still, the crystal’s glow spilling across her face.
For the first time in a long while, her mind cleared completely.
She looked at Riley.
She looked at TartKing.
Her lips parted faintly.
“Don’t come closer.”
The starlight beam dropped down.
The fatal death node had arrived.
Riley fought through the swirling time chaos to rush forward.
She was only a few steps away, yet it felt like wading through deep water. Something invisible dragged her back with every move. Her Storm Splitter Dual Axes turned heavy in her hands. The knuckles of her Star Breaker Gauntlets blazed hot, yet she could not shake off the crippling slow weighing her down.
TartKing practically threw herself forward.
Her staff flared blindingly bright, pouring Silent Bell Blessing. Warm Feather Grace, and Clear Mind straight toward Pineapple Beer.
The healing and buff light tore apart mid–air, shredded by the starlight beam.
PineappleBeer stayed rooted in place.
Her hand remained half–raised, the crystal floating above her palm. Cracks spread all across its surface. It still glowed fiercely, but the light was no longer under her control. It burst outward in wild
was trying to tear the entire tomb apart.
Every glowing eye on the Time Wraith Star–Eater Beast locked firmly on her.
The starlight beam stabbed straight for her chest.

The split second before it made contact, the crystal in PineappleBeer’s hand suddenly erupted with a
hotic shockwave.
She didn’t trigger it on purpose.
It was like the crystal’s final layer of seal had shattered, unleashing power that had been trapped inside for. far too long.
Silver, black, and gray light burst out from her palm.
The starlight beam got knocked off course, grazing her shoulder before slamming into the throne steps…
The stone steps didn’t shatter.
That entire patch of ground froze solid. Even the floating dust particles hung suspended in mid–air.
Pineapple Beer stumbled back one step from the recoil, blood trickling down the corner of her mouth.
The next instant, everyone on the platform got caught in the blast wave.
The black sword man had just struggled back to his feet. The chaotic surge swept over him. His protective black fog flared up again to shield him, but it wasn’t enough. The force sent him flying straight into a stone pillar beside the throne. A dull thud echoed from his chest, and his sword slipped out of his grip.
The silver–gray armored woman instinctively raised her broken formation plate. It lit up for a split second. before shattering completely. The impact launched her backward into the dark–blue faction’s ranks, and she coughed up blood all over her face guard.
GreenPear stood a little farther out. She jammed her broken staff into the ground and barely conjured a thin teal–black barrier.
The chaotic light crashed into the shield.
The barrier shattered instantly.
She got flung toward the platform’s edge, crashing into a cluster of floating rubble. Stones and silver light swallowed her figure, leaving no sign of whether she was alive or dead.
TartKing’s pupils shrank at the sight.
But she didn’t have time to worry about the three of them.
She and Riley had been hit by the shockwave too.
Riley gritted her teeth and stood in front of her, crossing her dual axes. Her Cloak of Vitality and Earthery Ward activated at full power. The violent impact plowed two deep grooves into the stone floor backward several feet.
Tart King was shielded from most of the blast, but the remaining force still slammed her in
stone table.

Chapter 697 Collapsing Star Vortex
The shield from her Froststar Battle Prayer Gloves shattered.
H& vision blurred, and a sharp metallic taste rose in her throat. Still, she pushed herself back up immediately.
“Pine!”
PineappleBeer didn’t turn around.
She stared down at the crystal in her palm.
Cracks now ran all the way through the crystal.core.
She whispered under her breath. “I’m gonna keep both of you alive.”

The chaotic light stopped expanding outward and started collapsing inward instead. A tiny black hole formed at the crystal’s center. Every time the void shrank a little, the starry sky above dragged inward with it.
All the memory shards floating above the platform twisted violently.
Some got sucked back into PineappleBeer’s body by the crystal. Some got torn apart by the black void. turning into fine silver–gray dust. Others got swept straight into the deepest depths of the tomb.
Riley propped herself up on her axes and lifted her head to look up.
The starry sky was split wide open.
No longer just thin black cracks.
