Soul of Burning Steel

Charlier united with the First Farmer's World, and the tree of the world, which wrapped the continent under its own roots, shook its branches and leaves, causing the murlocs who were doing experiments in the laboratory on the branches to interrupt their work.

But the murloc didn't complain about it, the high priest Godard raised his head in a daze, he walked out of the laboratory quickly, and then looked up at the top of the empty world: "Galan Nord, did you hear that?! "

"I heard it."

In the huge world tree, there was an elf's light and spirited voice, but there was a trace of dignity in the tone: "This voice is very strange, very weird... Although I half understand what I said, there is no doubt that it must be very important."

"But not as important as the job at hand."

Godard frowned, and thought for a while on the branch, he said: "You continue the experiment, I will contact Eagle and the others...Damn it, Joshua is not here, and the secret work of the Seven Gods seems to have reached a critical moment— —Maybe we need to ask the will of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice, although it doesn’t know much, but at least it’s richer than us.”

Just when the murloc high priest was about to start contacting other legendary powerhouses, the natural mentor gave him unexpected good news: "Wait a minute, Godard."

"My experiment may have been successful, wait for me to determine the last step."

Hearing this, the high priest of the murloc was stunned for a moment, and then he was surprised and delighted: "It really succeeded!?"

"Have you developed a vaccine for the extreme virus?"

The giant tree didn't answer, but a green halo enveloped Godard, he didn't resist, and the next moment, the high priest came to a hall completely made of emerald green, half wood and half crystal.

That is, the central tree center of the world tree.

The force of nature is a derivative energy between magic power and life energy, so it is related to everything in the world, and there is nothing - even man-made - that does not involve the force of nature.

This is its advantage as well as its disadvantage, because in a barren world without life, even if the magic power is rich, the power of nature will not be born. Similarly, in a world with many lives but no magic power, the power of nature will wither, in other words , its essence is the magical power with the characteristics of life energy, or the life energy with the characteristics of magic power. It can be said to be the earliest supernatural power aggregate similar to divine power and emotional power.

And at the heart of this huge world tree, majestic life energy and magic power are constantly rushing up and down, flowing along the crystal lines on the inner wall. Godard, guided by a dark green light formed by a force of nature, came to an unusually wide area. in the compartment.

Entering the cubicle, the originally peaceful and peaceful atmosphere suddenly changed. Godard raised his head, and he saw the bones of countless creatures piled up in the corner of the cubicle, sealed and sealed by the force of nature crystal. The high priest knows that these are the bones of creatures swallowed by the extreme virus, and they are experimental individuals created by the natural teacher. Looking at the number, there may be hundreds of thousands of wild beasts and monsters consumed in the past few days, and the experimental materials going forward are even more It is uncountable, after all, the experimental bodies that are worthless will be decomposed again and recycled as materials for the next experiment.

In the center of the compartment, in a space completely covered by transparent crystals, a super-large biosphere of bacteria is multiplying, and bacteria of various colors are mixed with extraordinary power, and they are in this miniature space with a diameter of 1.5 kilometers Peristalsis grows.

"According to my research, any organism with a complexity higher than that of sponges and jellyfish is extremely vulnerable to erosion by extreme viruses. It has certain conditional selectivity, and the more complex the structure, the more they favor it."

Noticing the eyes of the high priest of the murloc, the World Tree—that is, the body of Galannod today, made a voice and explained: "In other words, if I want to observe the erosion process of the limit virus carefully, I must use sponge jellyfish This kind, and creatures with a structure simpler than the sponge jellyfish... there are not many such creatures, the sponge is already the lowest multicellular animal, and the jellyfish is a little higher than it."

"So you choose all kinds of microorganisms and fungi? That's right, after all, the ancestors of sponges are fungi, and they are the only ones who want something simpler..."

Godard nodded thoughtfully. He is also an expert in related fields: "So you succeeded?"

"perhaps."

The voice of the natural instructor was noncommittal, and the power of nature condensed into an arrow, leading Godard to look at the colony ecosystem: "Extreme virus is not incapable of invading fungi and various microorganisms. In fact, its structure may be even stronger than the virus we know. Small, the smallest one is even only ten nanometers, and the largest one is no more than fifty nanometers. In front of them, viruses are also objects that can be 'sublimated' - I just destroyed some super viruses that were initially limited. It can infect any intelligent life that uses spiritual power in the field of thinking through psionic energy, and gradually transform their thinking patterns into extreme creatures that we are familiar with."

"As for these bacteria and fungi, they have not reached the level of extreme creatures, but you see, they have begun to be able to control extraordinary power through the form of colonies, similar to magic energy circuits and rune structures... really terrible power .”

"However, because of the modification of these colonies by Limit Virus, I discovered a loophole in it."

"What loophole?" Godard asked hastily, after all, it's about Mycroft and about the murlocs, even if he is a cold-blooded creature (literally), he still has to think about his own race: "Don't be fooled. "

"It's very simple."

The natural tutor simply replied: "The limit virus is a selfish and very 'smart' virus. It will ensure that its host is as successful as possible in sublimation, and then assimilate with the host to become a limit creature, but due to limited energy, As long as it finds that the host will inevitably fail to sublimate, it will take away all the energy of the host—that is, erode the host into those dry bones in the corner—and then replicate and spread itself.”

"But as long as it is not inevitable failure, then the limit virus will never increase its own kind. It is very selfish. If it can succeed on its own, it will never generate a second one."

"Combining with the previous point that 'the limit virus is keen to erode advanced organisms with complex structures', I can draw one element: the limit virus is pursuing the limit of its own success. If it is possible, then the more powerful and complex the limit creature good."

Speaking of this, Godard already understood a little bit, and the natural teacher said with a smile: "So, based on this element, I have found through many experiments that when the limit virus parasitizes on sponges, jellyfish and other low multicellular organisms, the erosion speed It will become extremely slow... This is easy to explain, because even if the sponge jellyfish is successfully limited, it will not be much stronger. Perhaps only the demonic sponge has the value of erosion. Compared with these weak If you waste your chances and possibilities on other creatures, the limit virus will choose to go dormant without hesitation, and suspend the erosion process."

"So!" Following the train of thought of the natural tutor, the murloc high priest hammered his palm, and he said excitedly: "As long as the limit virus feels delusional, as long as..."

"Yes, as long as the limit virus has the illusion that what it is corroding is not a human being, but a large sponge, a large jellyfish, a large fungus, bacteria, and various single-celled organisms, then even if it is infected, it will not be infected. It will start immediately, but will attack after 8 to 14 days, trying to find the next host."

There was an intriguing smile in the voice of the natural tutor, she whispered: "Simply put, as long as it thinks you are a waste, it will not erode you, but retain energy and wait for the next encounter worthwhile." erodes the target's chances."

——As long as you become a waste, no one can use you.

Hearing this, the high priest of the murlocs understood the train of thought of the teacher of nature.

Yes, the Extreme Virus is an extraordinary biochemical creation that is far more advanced than the current Mycroft civilization, and is even the inheritance of some kind of ultimate life form. It is actually a completely impossible task to fundamentally create a vaccine, at least Galannord can't do it for the time being.

But on the other hand, using the extremely advanced and intelligent characteristics of the limit virus, you can use this to make a fuss... As long as you create a supernatural potion that allows people who drink it to have the same biological essence as a sponge jellyfish, then the limit virus They will be too lazy to erode these lower creatures and try other goals instead.

Is it difficult? It's too simple. In the extraordinary world, even dragons can be transformed into human forms, and even people can be transformed into neutron stars and even the world. Just pretending to be a jellyfish fungus is not too simple for a legendary powerhouse.

In this case, the limit virus transfer will certainly give birth to strange things such as limit cattle, limit grass, limit tree vines, limit overlord flowers, etc., but at least human beings are safe-and this is enough, if the virus does not transfer, There is also an incubation period of about eight days. As long as the Seven Gods and a few legendary powerhouses purify the crowd every once in a while, there is no danger of a virus outbreak.

It's really bad luck, the natural anti-magic and anti-transmutation spells cause the potion not to work, or the virus occurs early... There is no way, the situation is critical now, Galannord can only guarantee the safety of most people , rather than ensuring that all human beings remain unharmed.

"Can you ensure success?"

However, as soon as the excitement passed, anxiety arose. Godard walked around the compartment a few times, and his brows frowned again: "For example, the limit virus discovered that its host is just a pretend sponge..."

"One hundred percent. As long as the extreme creature is indeed an extraordinary creation of the ultimate life form, as long as it is indeed that advanced, then it will definitely not take the risk of wasting energy to detect that what it is eroding is advanced animals disguised as sponges and fungi , or true fungi and sponges."

The tone of the natural instructor is very convincing: "After all, it is too small. No matter how advanced the way of carrying energy is, it cannot be eroded multiple times. It must be killed with one blow, so it gave us a chance to take advantage of it."

"I made it."

"...It couldn't be better." The murloc high priest took a deep breath, and he immediately picked up the communication circle in his hand. Godard couldn't wait to share this good news with other legendary powerhouses.

Eagle was the first to know the news. After listening to Godard's general explanation, he quickly realized that this is an extremely simple and feasible preventive measure.

"Now, right now, right now."

He said so, and then took out the communication circle, ready to notify others: "Let Galan Nord write out the formula of the camouflage potion—then we will write it into Joshua's exchange beams of light."

"Thank God, Radcliffe finally helped a lot outside of the battle... Without the exchange of beams of light, I am afraid that hundreds of millions of people will die in the time it takes to set up the production line-if it is the multi-dimensional galaxy , probably in the hundreds of billions.”

Thinking of this, the old Pope hesitated for a while, then shook his head, and said decisively: "——we should also inform other civilizations and tell them this method. Ha, this method is not difficult. I think it is not only us who can discover it, just Treat it as a favor."

"After all... in this multiverse, the remaining civilizations can no longer be destroyed. If what the voice just said is true, then I'm afraid this is the last chance."

——If at this last chance, all civilizations are still unable to work together, share resources with each other, and face the biggest and most terrifying threat...then this plague called selfishness will definitely cut off hope and make the doomed Doom and doom come.

"This is my responsibility, the responsibility of an intelligent life."

Pope Igor doesn't think he's very intelligent. He knows that he is only talented, lucky, has enough inheritance, and has good growth conditions. Or 'the pope of all worlds and peoples', at most he can only be the pope of Mrs. Micro, a strong, kind, good man who likes to watch the sunrise.

However, no one has ever said that Mrs. Micro, the pope of Mrs. Micro cannot care about the multiverse-no race can say that, saying that they can be independent from the world.

Because in the face of the disaster sweeping the heavens and the world, all intelligent minds are a whole, not an independent island. Under the light of the flame, the order must last forever.

He believed so firmly that he has come to this day.

And this is the complete opposite of the extreme virus, the road called civilization.

"We are the last, the last, and since then, there is no future and no hope."

The voice resounding through the multiverse, echoing in the confused time and space, all the strong and all the enlightened have understood that this is indeed the last moment, the road to the "source" is about to be cut off, and the initial fire will soon The subsequent future has completely lost contact with the multiverse, and since then, everything will usher in a doomed ending, turning into black ashes that can no longer burn after the flame is extinguished.

so.

- I must succeed.

- We must succeed.

- as long as I can succeed

——As long as someone has a future.

——It must be me, it can only be me, if it is not me, then the multiverse is meaningless, whether it is destruction or demise, it is meaningless.

——It’s my best, I hope it’s me, but if it’s really not me, then at least, I hope that I and my successors can have the possibility of the future.

Beasts longing for 'tomorrow', and civilizations longing for 'tomorrow'.

Between the two, there is an obvious and incomparable dividing line. This boundary is like an abyss, the abyss named "Abyss of Tomorrow", which divides two kinds of thoughts, two behavior patterns, and two underlying logics, ruling the multiverse s future.

Even if some individuals cannot distinguish the difference between the two, at least as a whole, even if it is a racial cleansing civilization that tends to destroy all alien races and all non-self, at least they are civilizations, a collective composed of countless people—— Most civilizations are comprehensible.

But only the vast majority.

The court of Amos, the dome of the court, the void sky made of stars.

The huge luminous nebula group fell into deep thought because of the call of the distant beast.

Until one after another void warships galloped from afar, interrupting his contemplation.

The second change is asking for a monthly pass at the end of the month!
