Soul of Burning Steel

Faced with the announcement of the Father of Nature, the evil god of natural disasters quickly made his own response.

The cloud cracked, and silver light was revealed from it. Behind the misty mist, ten huge light wheels could be faintly seen running very rhythmically, like ten eyes staring at the world indifferently.

Under the light of the apocalypse, purple lightning criss-crossed the sky, and the magic power surged in the sky like a tide. The surface of Ilgna world began to tremble. As the fragments of countless worlds fell off the space axis, a crack appeared in the sky. The center of the sky.

Behind this crack is an unknown world that seems to have existed since ancient times and will exist forever. There is no light, no life, only the howling wind and extremely dirty magical energy, because the apocalypse formation With the light of the sky, one can vaguely see the dry land covered in darkness, with countless black dust piled up on it, forming hills and hills.

And among the countless hills, a gigantic monster like a mountain range is entrenched in the center of this chaotic darkness. It is like a non-stop rotating lightless galaxy, an incomparably twisted chaotic vortex, and in the vortex, there are Ten abyss-like dark cavities, these cavities are like eyes, silently watching the world of Ilgna on the other side of the crack.

Twisted, dark, eerie, indescribable.

It is impossible to describe this existence with human vocabulary, because it does not even have a specific shape. This giant that is rotating and transforming all the time is like a ball of ink in water, spreading maliciously toward the outside world, but no matter how much it spreads toward the outside world The power of chaos, the concentration at its center has not diminished at all, and it will always be so distorted like a nightmare.

But suddenly, this existence made a sound.

"Woo———"

This sound is extremely weird, as if hundreds of millions of people are screaming and wailing at the same time, which contains endless pain, despair and resentment. Along with this sound, the dark world on the other side of the crack suddenly undergoes terrifying changes, and the dirty magic power scrolls. Turning into a frenzied tornado, the earth trembled violently, as if the whole world was trembling in pain.

Hearing this voice, even the most courageous people will lose their minds for a moment.

On the side, the elf guards who had hid earlier were lying on the deck of the airship, unable to move. Those who were a little braver could still close their eyes, get up tremblingly, and drag their companions into the room, while the timid ones basically all Fainted out, no mortal could maintain his sanity in the face of that twisted chaos.

Facing the frenzied and nightmare-like existence behind the crack, the paladin raised his giant shield subconsciously and took a half step back. This was considered a good performance, and the half-dragon shrank his head subconsciously and turned around, intending to find a place to hide , but it then realized that there was nowhere to hide, so it raised its head to look at the sky and let out a roar.

And Joshua stood in mid-air, the soldier clenched the sword and gun in his hand solemnly, and looked up at the dark crack. He didn't retreat, nor did he have the slightest fear. Instead, he saw everything in his eyes and kept it in his heart. .

He knew what it was, the Azure Orb was trembling in his chest like crazy, and his instinct was also telling him the other party's true identity.

That is the master of chaos, the end of the world, the enemy of all order, wisdom and life, the monster that extinguished the first flame.

Evil God, [natural disaster].

What a desperate voice, this is a world, the last cry of a civilization, where 1.6 billion souls gather in one place, mixed with the wreckage of the extinct world, and become such a monster.

"Okay, mighty warriors."

But a deep voice overshadowed the frenzied wailing. In the giant tree, the will of the father of nature was wrapped in a sacred and majestic coercion, and said to everyone present: "I have almost fully awakened!" .”

With the end of this sentence, a piercing green beam of light appeared again. It started from the crown of the giant tree and went straight into the sky, activating the network that seemed to spread all over the world. The infinite divine power spread in all directions like ripples. , the stone demons that came into contact with the ripples, whether it was the sky fortress or the giant statue of the Titan, all stopped in an instant, and returned to ordinary steel and rocks, except for the crack in the sky that was completely unaffected, still releasing frenzy. The power of chaos.

This action seems to have consumed a lot of physical strength of the father of nature, but although his tone has become a little slow because of this, it is still extremely smooth: "As you can see, this is the prototype of the evil god—a shattered The world, and the resentment of all living beings entrenched in it."

Is this the evil god?

Although he had a premonition in his heart, the paladin still couldn't help feeling a surge of emotion in his heart, because the surrounding stone demons were swept away by the wave of divine power, so he stopped and looked towards the sky.

Lolanda could see that at the other end of the crack, that terrifying existence was slowly wriggling. It seemed to be approaching the crack little by little, ready to extend its body into this world.

The moment he saw this scene, the extreme sense of danger stimulated his nerves. Without guessing, Lolanda knew that if he really let the other party succeed, then everything would be irreparable, and this world would be like the people behind the plague land. Just like that world, it was completely invaded and corrupted by Chaos. He could use his strength and knowledge, but he didn't know how to stop the other party. Suddenly, the paladin became extremely nervous, and he also felt a deep hatred for his own weakness.

Even with the blessing of the gods, one's own strength is so irrelevant.

"Don't be nervous, user of the Holy Light."

Unlike the remorseful Lolanda, the voice of the Father of Nature is very calm, or rather, there is even a hint of a smile in his voice now, this great will gently said to Joshua, Lolanda and Hei: " The next thing is my battle, all of this has nothing to do with you, so..."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for everyone to react, in front of the giant tree, a turquoise brilliance flickered in mid-air, causing time and space to distort, thus opening a faint blue door. In the familiar mountain range.

No need to think, even paladins can recognize it, it is the scenery in the Great Ajax Mountains.

After opening a new portal with great ease, the Father of Nature said leisurely: "It's over, thank you for helping me, supporting me until I recover, allowing me to awaken in a perfect posture without paying a price."

"Now, you can go back."

It seemed that it was because the news was too shocking. Neither Lolanda, Hei nor Joshua said anything. They were either puzzled or looked at the Father of Nature in shock. No one reacted first.

The giant tree didn't respond to this, and his voice was very calm, as if this matter was not worth mentioning: "Back then, I transferred an entire elf city from the mainland of Mycroft to this world, but now, I am just It’s just opening a brand new portal, which is nothing to the gods.”

"After you leave, I will send back a group of healthy elves who have never been corrupted by chaos, and then I will completely block this passage, cut off the connection between the two worlds, and never let the evil god take advantage of it." This is the opportunity. Rest assured, soldiers, this is the only thing I can fully guarantee."

For the words of the Father of Nature, the first one to react was undoubtedly the warrior.

Unlike Loranda, who was deep in thought, and Hei who didn't understand what was going on, Joshua frowned, and said, "Father of Nature, you can go back too, your current strength has been restored." Once you are in full bloom, you can go back.”

Unlike other people who don't understand the power of gods, the warrior can clearly understand the strength of this seemingly gentle giant tree in front of him from the divine impact that forbids the movement of the stone demon in the entire world at that moment.

Even among all the gods today, it can be regarded as a majestic and terrifying power! That's a great power that shouldn't even exist in a physical world!

Not to mention opening a portal to the Northland, the Father of Nature can open a time-space gap leading to the Mycroft Continent just like a thousand years ago, and return to his hometown with ease, even with all the remaining It's only a matter of time before the elves go back together.

Of course, this is impossible. If chaos is a plague, then the entire world of Ilgna is a shipwreck infected with the plague and about to capsize. Even if it is to ensure the purity of the fire, the Father of Nature cannot let the elves Return to Mycroft Continent, and the identification process will take time, so let Joshua and others go first.

And the giant tree also responded to the doubts of the soldiers.

"The inheritor of the sages."

In the voice of the Father of Nature, there was a hint of regret and a hint of relief. It said in a low voice: "I ran away once."

"But this time, there will be no escape."

The giant tree shook its body slowly, and countless green shards of light fell from the back of the leaves. These shards of light floated onto the soil, and immediately gave birth to lush forests and shrubs. The Father of Nature watched all of this, He slowly Land, said with a smile: "I am the god of elves, and I should live and die with them."

The voice was decisive, and there was no room for turning around. Joshua seemed to want to speak, but was interrupted by the giant tree.

On the giant tree, an old and wise face appeared. The father of nature looked down at the world, his eyes were full of pity, and said softly: "It is I who brought them into this world. It is I who brought them to this world. , choose to transform this world, it is I who choose to sleep, so that the elves can develop freely."

"It's all because of me, and it's because of me that I have transformed this world too violently, which has attracted the evil god of natural disasters, so I should be the one to fight against it."

"This is the responsibility of the gods."

The father of nature in the previous life must have awakened hastily to face the evil god, but now, he is in a state of full power after sleeping for thousands of years to deal with the enemy of chaos.

Therefore, the green beams of light penetrated the sky and the earth, forming a green network, which covered more than half of the world of Ilgna. The remaining elves looked at the green lines and didn't know what it meant, but originally The [natural disaster] dust and mist permeating the whole world was completely absorbed by this green pattern, as if the sewage was wiped away by paper, the dark clouds disappeared in an instant, and the sunlight returned to this world.

More than a thousand years ago, at the end of the Era of Glory, the Father of Nature took all the elves in an elf city to escape from the Mycroft Continent and came to the world of Ilgna because of the fall of the Elf Continent.

At first, the air in this world was extremely turbid, which was not suitable for elves to survive. The violent magic elements even restricted the ability of elves to cast spells. In order to change this situation, the father of nature decided to transform the whole world.

He rooted himself into the earth, planted it at the very end of the earth, and absorbed all the magical elements of this world as energy to transform the world. For this reason, the Father of Nature created a network to transmit these energies and purify all impurities.

This is a huge project, even if it is a god, it is difficult to do it. Even the father of nature, who is an ancient god, has fallen into a deep sleep because of this, but even so, this network still exists and is even still operating.

But now, the father of nature, who has fully activated it, is not proud of this miraculous purification scene. Instead, he shook his head and said with a self-deprecating smile: "My method of transforming this world is really too radical." , and even angered the will of this world."

"The reason why the will of this world also looks on coldly in the face of the evil god's invasion is because I am also an evil invader to this world, an evil god in a certain sense."

Even so, there was no trace of regret in the voice of the Father of Nature.

Because all of this is for those elves who respect him as God, he has no complaints whether it is making choices, taking responsibility or bearing sins.

Regarding this, Joshua and the others were silent. They looked hesitantly at the space-time channel in front of them, and then turned their heads to look at the chaotic crack in the sky, as if unable to make a choice. At this moment, the soldier suddenly spoke.

"What you said is correct. Neither gods nor humans should regret their choices, and should also shoulder their own responsibilities."

He ignored the chaos that was gradually spreading in the chaotic cracks, his red eyes did not turn to the portal at all, but looked directly at the giant tree, Joshua said frankly and sincerely to the father of nature: "But, the father of nature Ah, human life has no purpose, but human existence is different. Everyone has their own desires, their own lives, and their own pursuits—but neither humans nor gods, or any existence, should From the very beginning, it was headed towards failure."

His voice became deeper and deeper as he went to the back. Joshua paused every word, and said to the god in front of him very seriously: "You want us to go back because you think we will die in this battle, so in order not to get involved Come to us, just want us to leave early."

Father Nature was silent.

Then, he slowly said: "That is an ancient evil god."

The Father of Nature was not agitated or angry by Joshua's words. His voice was extremely calm, and it could even be said that there was no wave, full of calmness precipitated by time: "The evil god of natural disasters has long been in the Mycroft Continent. Before the emergence of civilization, it has existed in this world."

"Its power is unfathomable, even if we see it, it is only a part of its power. The real body of the evil god of natural disasters is a chaotic vortex floating in the multiverse, not just entrenched in a place in front of your eyes. The twisted chaos in the world..."

"But you can't give up."

Joshua interrupted the other party: "Since we have decided to fight, we must win."

"War must be won."

This is my life.
