Soul of Burning Steel

Beyond the sky and the earth, in the endless void, there are stars that cannot be measured by numbers.

Every star is a world. Behind the shining light, it may be a giant island floating in the sky, or it may be a continent surrounded by sea and sky, or it may be another endless starry sky, countless planets. Orbiting a burning star. Under the light of the flames, countless races have multiplied on the earth and developed their own civilizations. When they can break through the barrier of space and enter the void, it means that another civilization has left its infancy, opened its eyes, and watched with this multiverse.

At that time, they will see the most vast and vast scene in the world, and feel their own insignificance while being shocked.

And the steel python Karlis, at this time, showed such a scene for Joshua.

The primordial fire burns the chaos, and its light illuminates the void, causing the non-existent to be born, and the extinction to be turned into life, billions of trillions of endless light spots like the purest diamonds, flashing under the urging of the great demon tide sweeping the multiverse Moving his own radiant brilliance, this scene is difficult to describe in words, even the soldiers are speechless, but at this moment, the sudden, endless radiance began to go out.

It is as if the lights in the city are extinguished one by one, and the countless shining lights of the world are dimmed one by one. It looks like a child blows out the candles, and they simply disappear into the void and cease to exist.

The stars lost their light.

If there is a person who can look at the whole picture of the infinite multiverse, then he will be shocked to find that there are countless dense black shadows that are expanding along the waves of the magic tide, starting from the light of the constantly fluctuating great tide , Spreading, the world around them dimmed and died in the breath, just like the flickering sparks falling into the sea, and the extinguished campfire being covered with snow.

This is the darkness that sweeps across all worlds, like a tide, from which the never-ending tide of the end emerges, even the brilliance produced by the collapse of the world cannot illuminate it.

And in this multiverse, the life that thrives in it has emotions of awe, fear and disgust, and calls these sources of ever-spreading darkness the 'Great Destroyer'.

That is to say, the evil god in the mouth of all the insiders in the Mycroft world.

"They're back."

Karlis stared at the huge light curtain projected by it, and the will of the world said in a calm voice without the slightest wave: "Thirteen hundred years ago, they wandered into the depths of the multiverse, but now, the great tide of evil has emerged. waves sent them back to where they started."

"So, how far away are they from us now?" Without any unnecessary nonsense, Joshua, who had already understood the situation, frowned, and asked, "When will the evil gods return to this space-time realm? "

"It's impossible to calculate, there are too many unpredictable situations in the space-time turbulence." Karliss replied, it rolled the light curtain, causing large swathes of starry sky to move rapidly, and then focused on the two worlds of Mycroft-Kallis Peripherals: "But the slowest will not exceed seventy years, calculated based on the alternation of the sun and the moon in the Mycroft continent. The fastest."

After a pause, the steel python seemed to laugh: "The next second. They will appear in front of us."

"Yeah……"

Stepping slowly, Joshua walked up to the light curtain. Joshua stared at this familiar space-time picture—not long ago, he had seen the real scene on the light curtain. A path was revealed for him in the void, a long path of light leading to the other side of the multiverse. There are countless worlds around the path of light, which provide the path of light with their own brilliance, which is completely opposite to the dark shadow brought by the evil god before. Pure and brilliant light.

More than a thousand years ago, an old man from the mainland of Mycroft walked on that road. Why did he make such a move at that time? A strong man who surpassed the gods left his hometown, leaving only four relics with inheritance? Joshua was unable to guess the slightest bit of the sage's thoughts before, but now, he probably understands a little bit.

"Exactly the same..."

Stretching out his hand and touching the endless stars on the light curtain, the soldier's face became more and more serious. His fingers traced a path, which is a path leading to the deepest part of the multiverse, and it is also the prototype of the path of light. All the way forward, and then, I happened to meet those Destroyers returning from the void: "This is the same road."

"What is at the end of this road? It can make sages and evil gods start without hesitation?"

No one can answer this doubt, not even the steel python Karlis, who is the will of the world. After a long silence, he put down his finger on the light curtain, Joshua took a deep breath, and then exhaled, he After calming down for a while, he turned his head to look at Karliss, and said calmly: "Thank you for telling me this information...but to be honest, it's not very useful."

"I'm just a legend now."

The soldier evaluated himself objectively: "Even a demon lord can't be wiped out cleanly. I have no power to fight back against the abyss lord, let alone the evil god above him-Kallis, back then Even you, with the power of the entire Callisian civilization, can't fight against the [Famine] evil god's minions. The current world of Mycroft is the same. We may be able to resist the invasion of multiple abysses, but it is not enough to fight the evil god head-on. "

"I'm not a sage." Joshua said so.

"I know." And the steel python said so.

Karlis was not angry at the straightforward attitude of the warriors. It knew from the very beginning that a single world or individual was almost powerless in the face of the Great Destroyers who fed on the world. One can be produced, even if Mycroft is his former hometown, but the steel python intercepted the space-time teleportation to meet Joshua, it was not for this purpose, it had another purpose.

"Joshua van Radcliffe, you may not know your own potential."

Facing the calm Joshua, the huge will of the world circled his body, and the endless scales reflected light, forming a silver galaxy. Karlis patiently explained: "The fire bearer-the king of burning souls has special powers. , they can burn their souls and turn them into flames that ignite the already destroyed world, just like what you did in my body back then, and just like what you did when you sent those remnants to me not long ago, you can ignite the flames, You can also carry flames, as an individual life, you can do many things that our world will not be able to do."

"What are you trying to say, Carliss?"

"I need you, Joshua."

The steel python stared at the warrior, and said solemnly: "It's the same in other worlds, 'we' need you."

"It is very difficult for evil gods to enter a world directly. In addition to meeting many conditions, their family members must occupy more than half of a world and erode most of the area into their world before they can descend. Therefore, as long as the civilization inside the world is strong enough , no matter how powerful the Heretic God is, he cannot directly destroy a world, this is our advantage and also our disadvantage."

Karliss mobilized the light curtain, and every detail of the Karlisian world being invaded by the wild gods flashed in the light curtain. The steel python watched these details, and its tone was heavy: "I have long known about the void warships of the Wingmen. There are seeds of chaos in my body, but apart from those who have been in contact with the 'initial fire', no life can meet us, and I have no way to remind them, I can only sit back and watch the minions of famine kill my children and kill their children. The bones were dragged out of the house and devoured. Joshua, no matter how powerful a civilization is, it still has weaknesses. I have no complaints when I was defeated by famine, but if there were humans like you at that time, the world of Karlis would never have fallen to such an extent."

"You have accepted the inheritance of the sages, and you are the king of burning souls with a crown. You are in the mortal world, but you can meet us. You are the intermediary between the world and life. With your hands, countless worlds can clear them. The seed of chaos within the body, the source of destruction."

Looking at Joshua, who had a serious face and remained silent for a long time, Karliss said gently: "The evil gods will return to this space-time realm within a hundred years, and they will destroy all the worlds along the way, and among these worlds there may be More or less, there are some seeds of chaos that the evil gods sprinkled in the past, we know their existence, but we can't remove them."

"That's why you need me?" Joshua said suddenly, with a hint of relief in his tone: "Really? Because only I can meet you?"

"Yes, that's it." Steel Python nodded: "You have the breath of other worlds on your body, it must have received your help and gave you its authority and strength, and I, and other people in the future The world that needs your help will naturally not be stingy."

While talking, a silver-white fragment shining like a star appeared on Joshua's chest. The brilliance of the star jumped and released a wave of intoxicating power. Even Joshua's right hand subconsciously He moved, wanting to touch the silver-white fragment, but immediately, the soldier frowned.

He thought of the Shard of Steel that Ilgna World had given him back then, and thought of Number One, Joshua's complexion suddenly changed, and then he slowly put his hand back: "—Forget it."

I don't want to come up with No. 2, No. 3... Wait, this name has already been used.

"Don't you need it? This piece of steel contains part of my authority. With it, you can order the earth, rocks and strong winds, and make the water flow and lightning serve you."

I can't see what Callis's expression is, but its voice is a bit strange: "Could it be that you think that I have just woken up and are already weak, so you don't want to accept my power?"

"……Yes."

Joshua's face remained unchanged, he nodded: "That's what I think."

"Your noble character makes us also admire it."

With admiration, Karlis had no choice but to take back the steel shard representing the authority of the world, and it said sincerely: "After I awakened, I deliberately connected with the will of other worlds. Some worlds have problems similar to mine, and they all need your help very much and are willing to pay for it."

"Believe me, Joshua, with the help of several worlds, your strength will improve faster than you can imagine."

The dome of the star sea began to vibrate slightly. Noticing this, Carliss knew that this conversation was coming to an end. It lowered its head and looked at Joshua: "It may be difficult for you to help these worlds, and there must be countless difficulties along the way." Difficult and dangerous, but the reward will never disappoint, human warrior, are you willing to help us?"

--perhaps.

At this time, Joshua was thinking. He recalled that he had obtained some memories of the sages when they were young from the Azure Orb, and he couldn't help but have some guesses in his heart.

——Perhaps, when the sages traveled around the world, it was the same as they are now.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the sages had the power to educate the entire Mycroft world when they returned.

While thinking, a smile appeared on the soldier's face at the same time. It was an instinctive smile, knowing that the road ahead would be difficult, but still looking forward to it. Joshua raised his head and looked at the steel python. Their eyes met, He said, "Of course."

"give it to me."
