At the edge of the battlefield, there is a small floating platform covered by an energy shield. In the center of the platform stands a device that flashes with strange light. The device is surrounded by a complex rune array, emitting constant energy fluctuations.

Tartarus and the mysterious man looked at each other, and they realized that this was the core control node.

The two quickly approached the floating platform, but soon they found themselves surrounded by a group of elite warriors of the Dark Star Society.

These warriors were dressed in black power armor, holding energy weapons, and aimed at Tartarus and the mysterious man with expressionless faces.

"Hand over the energy core of the space-time beast, otherwise you will never leave here alive!" said the leading soldier coldly.

Tartarus sneered: "Do you think you can stop us with just a few of you?"

Before he finished speaking, he had already rushed towards the leading warrior. Golden energy condensed in his palm, transformed into a heavy punch, and hit the opponent's chest hard.

The soldier was blown away by the powerful force and fell to the ground behind him. Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers opened fire.

The mysterious man waved his hand and released an energy shield to block the dense firepower, but soon, cracks began to appear in the shield.

Tartarus seized the opportunity and shuttled among the warriors like a ghost. Every attack was carried with tremendous force, knocking away the warriors that blocked his way one by one.

The mysterious man followed closely behind, muttering something and releasing mysterious runes, imprisoning the surrounding warriors in place.

The two cooperated well and quickly broke through the encirclement and reached the edge of the floating platform.

However, just as they were about to step onto the platform, a powerful energy shockwave suddenly erupted from the device, knocking the two of them away.

They managed to keep their bodies steady and looked up, only to see that the rune array of the device began to accelerate, the space-time cracks around them became more unstable, and strange creatures and energy bodies began to pour out more frantically.

"Oh no! The energy fluctuations of the device have become stronger!" The mysterious man said solemnly, "If we don't destroy it, the entire planet will be torn apart!"

Tartarus rushed towards the floating platform again. This time, he did not attack the device directly, but locked his target on the energy shield of the platform.

The golden energy gathered in his palm, turning into sharp blades, slashing at the shield frantically. The mysterious man also joined the battle, releasing energy beams, bombarding the weak points of the shield.

Under the joint attack of the two, cracks finally appeared in the energy shield and eventually shattered.

Tartarus and the mysterious man seized the opportunity, rushed onto the floating platform and headed straight for the core control node.

However, just as they were about to reach the device, a black figure suddenly blocked their way.

He was a masked man wearing a black cloak and a cold metal mask on his face. He stared at Tartarus and the mysterious man with sharp eyes.

"You're late!" He sneered, "The core control node has been transformed by me. Now, it's mine!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already waved his hand and released a powerful energy shock wave, forcing Tartarus and the mysterious man back.

"Who are you?" Tartarus roared.

“It doesn’t matter who I am.” The masked man said coldly, “What matters is that your journey will end here!”

He raised his hands and began to chant an ancient spell. The rune array around the device began to flash in a strange rhythm, releasing even more powerful energy fluctuations.

Tartarus and the mysterious man looked at each other and they knew that they could not wait any longer.

They attacked simultaneously, Tartarus transformed into a golden lightning bolt and rushed towards the masked man, while the mysterious man released beams of energy, bombarding the rune array of the device.

However, the masked man seemed to be prepared. He easily dodged Tartarus' attack and at the same time released a powerful energy shield to block the mysterious man's energy beam.

"Your attacks have no effect on me!" He sneered, "Now, accept your fate!"

He waved his hand and released black energy chains, binding Tartarus and the mysterious man firmly in place.

The two struggled hard, but the energy chains became tighter and tighter, and their movements became more and more difficult.

At this moment, the mysterious man suddenly stopped struggling, closed his eyes, and began to chant an ancient spell in a low voice.

As he chanted, mysterious runes emerged from his body, surrounding him and emitting dazzling light.

"What are you doing?" Tartarus asked through gritted teeth.

"This is an ancient spell to break a curse." The mysterious man replied calmly, "It can break any energy restraint."

Before he finished speaking, the runes around him suddenly burst into dazzling light, and the energy chains began to rapidly disintegrate under the light.

The mysterious man seized the opportunity and waved his hand to release a powerful energy shock wave, shattering the remaining chains.

Tartarus also regained his freedom. He roared and rushed towards the masked man again.

This time, he did not give the opponent any chance. The golden energy condensed in his palm and turned into a heavy punch, hitting the opponent's chest hard.

The masked man was blown away by the powerful force and hit the rune array of the device. The array began to crack under the impact.

The mysterious man struggled to get up. He looked at the two people in front of him with a hint of fear in his eyes.

"No! This is impossible!" he muttered to himself, "How can you break my spell?"

"Nothing is impossible." The mysterious man said coldly, "Your ambitions and conspiracies should end here!"

He raised his hands and began to chant an ancient spell, and the rune array around the device began to flicker in a steady rhythm, releasing powerful energy fluctuations, and began to reverse the expansion of the space-time rift.

Seeing this, the masked man knew that the situation was hopeless. He looked at the two of them with gritted teeth, then turned around and fled into the device.

Tartarus was about to catch up but was stopped by a mysterious man.

"Let him go." The mysterious man said, "The most important thing now is to close the space-time rift and restore the stability of the planet."

Tartarus nodded, knowing that the mysterious man was right. He turned and walked to the device, placed his hand on the rune array, and began to guide the flow of energy.

With the joint efforts of the two, the energy fluctuations of the device gradually stabilized, the space-time rifts began to slowly close, and the strange creatures and energy bodies gradually disappeared.

When the last crack closed, the device suddenly burst into a dazzling light, enveloping the entire planet.

When the light faded, the planet had returned to its peaceful state, as if nothing had happened...
