Soul of Burning Steel

"What kind of light is that?"

Eyes wide open, firmly locked on the brilliance that flashed from the distant sky, the surging curiosity in the heart defeated decadence, Elma turned her head, watching the brilliance from appearing to disappearing, after a while of silence, She murmured to herself suspiciously: "...such a powerful force, even if the distance is so far away that I can't estimate it, it's just a little flash of light, and I feel trembling because of it..."

"The concentration of this extraordinary power is unheard of in all my life experiences. Even at such a distance, it gives me the feeling that it is stronger than the avatar of the Great Emperor..."

On the other side, Kreller, who could also see the light, was rather disturbed. After all, his strength was not strong, and he hadn't reached the limit. Just 'dangerous'.

However, when he saw that Erma finally began to respond to the outside world, instead of falling into a decadent and autistic state due to the actions of Amos the Great, Kreiler immediately dropped that biological instinct. Instead of feeling a sense of danger, he quickly said to the other party: "Don't talk about this, the light makes me feel very dangerous-let's get out of here quickly and go to a safer place!"

In Kreiler's heart, even the Royal Court's dome is not considered safe. He wishes that Erma would leave the Royal Court directly as she had planned before, and find a remote small world to hide—in the extreme plague. During this period of raging, the more prosperous the world star field is, the more unsafe it is because of the exchange of multiple information. On the contrary, the remote "country world" in the multi-dimensional galaxy will be calmer because of the stagnant pool.

At that time, whether it is waiting for Mycroft's rescue team in a remote world, or temporarily living in seclusion with Erma, it will be better than staying in the royal court that seems to be in the center of the storm... What's more, there is another character here that seems to be extremely powerful. Bad Amos the Great, God knows when he will do something outrageous just because he is "interesting". After all, for a strong man of that level, the lives and deaths of hundreds of billions of Amos are nothing more than a joy.

"This power..."

However, Erma did not move. Inside the battleship itself, a translucent female figure was staring straight ahead of the bridge. She just silently whispered: "If I have this power... what can I change?" ?"

—Don't be too greedy, Erma.

The voice belonging to Emperor Amos sounded in her mind again, but this time it was not the emperor's voice again, but Erma's own memory. Recalling this sentence, she couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Yes, I'm really greedy. , Even if it is a fantasy, it is so unrealistic."

"The light that spans time and space is extremely powerful. It must not be a flash of fire, not water without a source, or a tree without roots... It must be determined by the strong over a long period of time. got something."

So, resolve to...?

The woman of the foreign race whispered to herself, as if she was lost in thought, which made the human captain beside her show a helpless expression.

——Quietly, the wheel of emotion turns endlessly——

What stopped the wheel of silence was Kreiler's surprised voice as if he had discovered something.

"Erma—look!"

Through spiritual communication, the two people who transmit information to each other can share all the perceptions of both parties at the same time. This was originally a link for the convenience of communication due to language barriers. Now it can be used by Kreller to transmit a large amount of information. He excitedly showed a piece of information obtained from the exchange system to the other party: "Look, the precautionary measures for the extreme virus! Our strongman of Mycroft, the natural tutor 'Eidriel Galanod' has developed We have found a way to temporarily prevent the spread of infection!"

"Look! The extreme virus is not invincible, it can be prevented! Your Excellency, the teacher of nature, is still continuing to study, trying to find out how to truly be immune to the extreme virus. Of course it is difficult, but not impossible!"

Didn't notice the brighter light in the eyes of the woman beside him, the human captain was still chattering excitedly, and Kreiler's tone carried a sense of "Our Mrs. Micro's technical ability is the best in the world!" ’ proud: "I believe that we only need to wait a little longer, then the real limit virus vaccine will definitely be produced! Blessed be Mrs. Micro, and other races in the multiverse will also be saved!"

Listening to the other party boasting about her own race, Elma's expression changed from surprise and joy at the beginning to a hint of confusion. Her humanoid port blinked and asked the other party in puzzlement: "Kreiler... Have you, Mrs. McCrow, always been so generous?"

"Strictly speaking, this method of prevention is just a layer of window paper. It is very simple as long as you know it, but it will definitely take a long time to actually implement it and create a preventive vaccine——Your Mike Luo Madam actually put this precious information in this public...exchange system, and share it so selflessly?"

"of course!"

The doubts of the Amos were not surprising. Although Kleil had a strong sense of civilized pride on his expression, he still replied in a very serious tone: "However, this is not generosity-this is fighting!"

"For this extreme virus, this ruthless and repeated, multiverse battle full of sudden death!"

"Since there is such an existence that spreads extreme viruses for its own purposes and endangers other intelligent life, then we must create a way to defend against it, and spread it faster than the spread of the plague - only in this way, Only by making the master messenger unable to achieve his goal can we truly defeat the limit virus!"

After saying this, Kreiler felt that he was a little too excited. He scratched his head a little shyly, and then muttered in a low voice: "Everything in life is a battle-this sentence is said by the Generalissimo... I I really hope to become someone like the Generalissimo, so I bought a few books of quotations, and subconsciously imitated a little bit just now..."

Elma naturally didn't think that this was too much. She just met Kreiler's determined eyes with a look of mixed emotions.

Humans in their twenties, to the Amos who have experienced hundreds of years of life, are almost as young as a newborn child, but even such a young man has such a degree of determination— —Kreiler, although the individual seems ordinary, but ah, like gold in the shadows, as long as the light comes, it can shine brightly.

He undoubtedly has the capacity and potential to become a strong man.

"I see."

Suddenly, as if she had figured something out, Elma smiled, and she spoke softly, her expression and voice returning to life.

Kreiler was very pleased to see that the other party had regained his spirits under the stimulation of this good news, but what the other party said next made him froze in place.

"Experience the limit virus with your own body, calculate and create the relevant limit virus resistance medicine? I have to say, it's really a good way, and I can do it completely."

"Don't be so impulsive?! This is too dangerous!"

Hearing this, Kreiler almost jumped up, and he quickly dissuaded him: "No, Erma, Your Excellency the Natural Instructor is a legendary high-ranking powerhouse. According to your words, he is at least at the level of a general—she You can completely isolate yourself from the influence of the extreme virus and create a vaccine-like blocking agent, but you can't!"

"You are just barely able to resist the extreme intention of the extreme virus. If you are a little careless, it is definitely not impossible to be corroded-and there is no need to do this at all, right?!"

Regarding Kreiler's rather excited attitude, Erma smiled softly. Her calm smile made the human captain, who was still about to say something, subconsciously close his mouth and stop talking.

"Kreiler, I know, to you, those Amos people who are suffering from the plague are just insignificant aliens, even the enemies who tried to expel and invade you before."

Standing up from the previous bone seat, Elma walked to the bridge window of her own battleship body. She looked at the void outside the window and said softly: "If I didn't want to rebel, and I also restored my body for you , if you barely get a little approval from you, you would rather die than help me, right?"

"That's right..." Kreller admitted with some difficulty: "But it's mainly because you did show kindness, and..."

"But, Kreiler, I finally figured it out just now." Interrupting the other party's words, Elma turned her head, looked at the human being in front of her, and said with a serious expression: "It is not the most primitive emotion that drives me to rebel. It is the hatred for the inaction of Emperor Amos, but my most sincere feelings for the Amos people and the royal court."

"I hate war and the endless killing of Amos and other races. Although I hate Thakur because of my acquired education and my own experience, I would rather hate Amos than hate them. People can live happily and peacefully. I hope that the great emperor can love us sincerely, like a father, or a real ruler—if possible, I really hope that one day, in that case, we Amos It will be invincible and can continue civilization forever and ever."

Unfortunately, that was impossible. As a creation of Emperor Amos, he would never take his toys seriously, so Elma could only show a regretful expression.

"I'm really sorry to be born an Amos...but I'm also proud, just as you are proud of being Mrs. Mycro."

"But..." Kreiler seemed to want to say something, his expression was irritable, but before he could speak, Elma interrupted him: "The Amos and Mrs. Micro are completely different Race—Even if I know the principle of the blocking potion, I still have to test it myself and modify the details of the potion. Only by doing the same thing with my 'Amos' body can I get perfection prophylactics."

"Moreover, unlike Mrs. Micro, we Amos are actually very resistant to this foreign virus. As long as there is a preventive agent as a buffer, so that we can find that the virus has invaded our body, I think most of them No Amos would die so needlessly."

"However, you don't have to put yourself in danger!"

Hearing this, Kreiler couldn't bear it anymore, and he said loudly to Elma: "Why don't you wait a few more days?! Just wait a few more days, maybe Your Excellency the Teacher of Nature will even research the real vaccine Come out - you are not a legend, this action is too dangerous!"

"But." Facing Kreiler's doubts, Elma asked calmly: "What if the vaccine hasn't been developed in the past few days?"

"Even if the research is done, what if it is not suitable for Amos to use?"

"Kreiler, you know very well that the Extreme Virus is very advanced, and it is a creation of top extraordinary biochemical technology that has surpassed us for several times. It is not difficult to prevent it by tricks, but it is not that simple to crack it—not to mention."

Elma slowly approached Kreller, she stood in front of the human captain, very close, almost clinging to him, she said very seriously: "The 'just a few days' on her mouth, for the people who are suffering As far as the people of the Royal Court of Extreme Plague are concerned, it may be tens of billions, hundreds of billions of people died."

After finishing speaking, Elma raised her head and looked at the void beyond the bridge. Her gentle eyes seemed to be able to see countless worlds in the entire royal court.

"Just now, I finally understood why I failed to achieve anything in this long time... because I lacked a lot of things, and I lacked great power."

Speaking of this, she paused, and then said: "And the determination to sacrifice."

"In this multiverse, no one is the savior. However, just as you 'Mrs. Micro' are willing to help all other civilizations get 'preventive medicine' and give seeds of hope everywhere, if each civilization and civilization help each other, We must make progress together.”

"But you absolutely, absolutely can't pray for someone's 'salvation' and pin your hopes on others!"

"We must use our own hands to obtain our own tomorrow!"

She declared so firmly, her tone was forceful.

At this moment, a purple-blue light shone on Erma's body—the light shone, and a ring between the tangible and the invisible appeared in her hand, condensing and forming on her finger !

But at this moment, Elma has completely realized.

【—Death!

I am terrified all the time.

I am afraid of the impermanent emperor and the ruthless foreign enemies.

I am afraid of the future without light in this multiverse, and I am afraid of a future without hope.

I am even afraid of myself, afraid of myself who has no determination, not only cannot change the world, but will be changed by the world. 】

— But now, I understand.

Fear stems from lack of determination, from the fact that I just want to rebel, to escape, and use the most tricky methods to try to gain hope.

All because I forgot love.

"If I don't give everything to work hard today—it's all about me, not the emperor's charity, other people's pity, and your help."

Saying so, Elma stretched out her hand and gently stroked Kreller's face, which she didn't know what to do. She saw the human captain open his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in this situation at this moment , but he had nothing to say.

So at this moment, the rebel of the alien race smiled with a sense of consciousness: "If I don't try my best to work hard today, how can I wait for tomorrow with peace of mind?"

This is my decision.

At this moment, in Erma's humanoid hand, the purple-blue ring glowed with a brilliance called 'divine power'!

——The radiance called determination shines! ——

Its name is [Ring Bearer of Determination, Erma]!

At the other end of time and space, where the stars are, one of the rings of the four gods began to light up and echoed. He detected his apostle, and an individual capable of carrying this emotion was born far away—so, he The cheers began, and the emotional waves rose.

Divine power roared, rushing towards the central battlefield——

And the bargaining chip of cause and effect is settled.

I have to write all the stories of the supporting characters this time, unlike before, I will not delete any of them.

Anyway, it’s so badly ordered, it doesn’t matter anymore ()
