Soul of Burning Steel

In the dark and silent universe, the silver-blue psychic light beam is like a sharp sword, tearing apart the galaxy and the darkness. The huge and vast flow of light runs through time and space, reaching behind the curtain of void, and leading the existence from the other end to come .

Today, most of the ceremony has been completed, and the beam of light that condenses all the intelligent life and spiritual energy on a planet goes along the ritual platform of the holy mountain and completely submerges into the void. It makes the space at the end of the beam of light rippling and becomes With the distorted eye like a vortex, the space-time changes caused by the huge force can be clearly observed even in another galaxy. In contrast, whether it is the defensive firepower on the Atrium star or the battleships in space, they all turned their guns nervously and locked on the void door that was gradually taking shape—even if all civilizations were exhausted. They still have no way to guarantee whether the summoned void existence is a monster or an intelligent life, and whether it will be crazy enough to be out of control.

Most of the civilians also held their breath, watching this scene nervously. The Atrium Man is an intelligent race evolved from psychic plants, and their life form retains some of the characteristics of plants: extremely long life. Although it is extremely difficult for the Atrium Man to reproduce, it takes about eighty years for an Atrium Man to exchange genetic information with each other to obtain new offspring, but their lifespan can be said to be endless. Now the Atrium Man who is watching the live broadcast of spiritual energy A considerable number of them have witnessed the massacre of the Leaf Garden by the crystal insects, so they remain neutral about restarting the Void Gate Ritual, because the fear still resides in their hearts.

The super life forms attacking from afar are certainly imminent destruction and disaster, but who knows if the existence they summon this time will also be an equally terrifying existence? Although they still firmly believe in the existence of the Void Saint—or rather, it is precisely because of these terrifying and evil voids and chaos that they have a deeper belief in the Saint—but who knows if the Saint still remembers that he once More than a thousand years ago, on this unknown star, a group of intelligent plants that were still in confusion were awakened?

But no matter what, with the passage of time, the twisted eye gradually solidified, and a huge silver-blue crack began to grow gradually with the support of the almost substantive psychic beam of light. A gap was pulled out, and the breath from the other side of the curtain began to overflow from it, making all the people in the atrium feel relieved.

"The ceremony was a success."

"It doesn't seem to be a big problem, as long as the spiritual infusion is maintained, regardless of control, at least there is no problem with the summoning."

"Blessed by the Holy One, may your light shine on us day after day like the scorching sun..."

Including the fleet commander and others, almost all people in the atrium felt that the most difficult first step, the step of constructing the void door, was successfully completed, and the next step was to guide the existence from the other side to descend without any difficulty, and use the huge spiritual power to It's just to control the opponent.

But only Mill Habs knows that the problem is serious!

Because of him, he has completely lost control over the ceremony!

"There is a huge will outside the void that has taken over my control, and the ritual is gone!"

Standing on the top of the mountain, in the center of the psychic beam of light, the miserable Supreme Consul who was washed away by the endless flow of psychic energy from the entire planet was stiff at this moment, and he felt that he had become a marionette now. , was manipulated at will by the powerful will from far away—it came from nowhere, without emotion, without wavering, only the mechanical cold will completely escaped his control without a sound, and began to automatically run the void After the opening of the door ceremony, Mill Habs could only feel that under the control of that huge will, another huge existence was rapidly approaching from the other side of time and space.

That existence is as hot as a star, but it is not a gas like a star. It is stronger than all steel in the world, and at the same time, it is also full of vitality and power to destroy everything. He responded from the far end of the void. Called to come, and now it is about to come here.

The silver-blue crack shone with uncertain light and shade. It swayed for a moment, and then expanded again. The void door slowly opened, and now it has reached the point where it is several kilometers long and hundreds of meters wide. Even a space battleship can Easy to get in and out of it, many old atrium people who have seen the void door ceremony in the past were shocked to find that the void door this time is bigger than when the crystal insects descended. Does this mean that the existence that descended this time is bigger than the crystal insects? Want to be big? !

You know, known as the crystallization of the highest technology of the Zhongting people, the command ship of the "Forerunner Class" is only 2,400 meters long, while the normal body of the crystal insect back then was 300 meters long. It seems obvious, but the former is a fighting machine that requires tens of thousands of people to control, while the latter is just a single ultra life form - the comparison of combat power between the two cannot be calculated by conventional methods at all.

However, according to rumors, in the deepest part of the starry sky, there is an ancient empire that has been dormant for a long time. The battleships they forged with unimaginably advanced technology are tens of kilometers long and unimaginably huge. The ecological circle can suppress a civilization, but those are just rumors, and the people in Zhongting have only heard about one or two clues in the millennium.

——Now, I can't even forcefully destroy the void door... I can only pray that it is the saint's side that descends, not those strange void behemoths.

Although his heart has become cold due to various accidents, Mill Habs, who has lost his self-control, still has a last hope-although the huge will is cold and ruthless, it operates in an extremely orderly manner, as if it were some kind of emotionless , the mechanical will that operates by itself only because of certain conditions is triggered, there is a huge gap with the chaotic thinking of the void behemoth that is almost completely impossible to communicate and understand, and most importantly, the psionic beam of the void door has so far No mistakes have been made, and it is still proceeding in an orderly manner, and everything is still to be discussed.

"It's coming out."

On the bridge of the Forerunner, the flagship of the fleet in the center of the atrium, the tall but entangled fleet commander silently watched the silver-blue time-space gate slowly expand, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.

Tarquin had participated in the battle thousands of years ago. At that time, it was just a small soldier in the central fleet, but it had directly fought against the berserk crystal insects. As the only survivor of its squadron, Tarquin knew what the breath of chaos was, and this Once, it was gratified to realize that there was no chaotic atmosphere on the other side of the void door, but instead, there was a raging heat wave burning like the sun, a huge wave of life that suffocated ordinary life, which reassured him At the same time, new worries arose:

——Who knows, will that huge fluctuation be a new enemy?

But no matter what he thinks, the facts are not shifted by the will of intelligent life. As the silver-blue space-time crack stops expanding and freezes in place, the huge stream of spiritual energy loses its base point of transmission, and the surging spiritual energy The tidal wave created a huge energy tsunami in the dark cosmic space, spreading towards the surrounding stars, and when the aftermath of the tsunami was still spreading, the door of the void was truly opened.

"First-level alert of the whole army!"

Suddenly, there was a loud roar from the bridge of the Forerunner. Tarquin opened his three eyes wide, and ordered the surrounding officers with his loudest voice, and the others were still a little unable to react, but then, A severe chill rushed into their hearts. At this moment, endless panic, cowardice and cowardice surged from the darkest corners of their hearts, and the trembling breath spread, dissipating courage, and turning blood into nothing, except for a small number of people. On the contrary, the people in the atrium were even more excited by the stimulation of this breath, and most of the fleet warships surrounding the void door fell into a short-term panic.

It can be seen that around the space-time rift, most of the waves of the psionic tsunami surging towards the surrounding stars have been eroded by the black-red strange force overflowing from the void door, with unparalleled coercion Accompanied by the power that shocks and frightens all life, it spreads towards the outside world.

Originally, his strength was not so strong, especially when he himself deliberately suppressed it, but the huge and incomparable power of masterless psionic power amplified this power hundreds of times, raising this threat without limit, and in the next instant, A huge hand that seemed to be poured from molten iron protruded from the silver-blue void door and pressed into this world.

Compared with the huge planets and psychic beams of light, this hand is actually very small. It can even be said to be a small point that is ignored in the universe, but when it appears, it easily grabs everyone's attention. Mir Habs, Taquin, all high-level officials of the atrium government and priests, and all ordinary atrium people watching the psychic broadcast held their breath. Watching this scene, their hearts were shocked, fearful, expectant, alert, and suspicious Various emotions such as inconceivable and unbelievable flashed in turn, and what came down was another one, the third one, and the fourth one——

"The existence of the void is coming! The naval gun is critically prepared, waiting for the fire command at any time!"

Accompanied by Taquin's extremely vigilant order, the door was completely opened, and accompanied by a huge power fluctuation that changed the color of thousands of miles of psionic light tides, the giant god descending from the other side of the void appeared in front of the people in the courtyard .

--call. In the vacuum of the universe, a gust of energy blew up.

It was a four-armed steel giant wrapped in flames and over 400 meters high. Behind him was a light wheel that was slowly rotating and pierced by a straight line. The energy fluctuations far exceeding the core of the battleship's engine circulated around him. He came to this brand new world, opened his four arms, as if he was stretching his body, and the flickering silver-blue door quickly closed and disappeared because of his arrival, and finally turned into a wave of insignificant spiritual energy .

"The energy fluctuation is 760 million! It is three times that of the main engine of the Forerunner! This is only the energy fluctuation of the opponent's normal state, and the peak of full power cannot be predicted!"

"Rapid fluctuations in mass...unpredictable! The mass of the other party fluctuates with energy fluctuations. The currently observed limit mass fluctuation is 9 million tons!"

"The other party possesses huge energy fluctuations with similar psychic powers! Its quality and quantity crushes the Omega-level psykers by hundreds of times and thousands of times! The other party is a super life form in the void, and cannot be included in the calculation with the existing system!"

"My God! He's got observation organs - he's looking at us!"

In the atrium star and the space station, countless scientific researchers who were observing in real time reported their discoveries in a hurry. They were shocked to realize that the four-armed steel giant that descended this time was more powerful than the crystal insect that descended last time. It's not a little bit, but crushing in all aspects. This kind of terrifying power is unimaginable to the people of the courtyard, because even the most powerful Omega-level psykers in their civilization can only control the weather and rainfall in an area with all their strength. , if it wasn't for gathering the power of all the psykers on the entire planet, they wouldn't be able to tear time and space anyway.

And the moment they noticed that the steel giants were also observing them, many scientific researchers who looked at them through various observation lenses instantly felt that the thinking cores in their bodies were down, and the overly strong emotional fluctuations made the thinking centers of these plant life Overloaded, he fell into a coma neatly, as if aware of this, the huge giant spoke, but since sound cannot be transmitted in a vacuum, he could only see black and red energy fluctuations spreading from his mouth, transforming Make a series of energy rings.

The giant noticed this, and instead of opening his mouth, he used a special silver radiance to communicate with the psionic light beam, wanting to communicate with the surrounding intelligent beings. Seeing this scene, the captains of many battleships thought it was the opponent's attack The precursor, was so frightened that he almost ordered to fight back, but in the end they were all stopped by the fleet commander who was frowning and paying attention. Tarquin keenly noticed that the chaos caused by the giant was not intentional, but a natural phenomenon caused by his own existence. , He vaguely felt in his heart that the other party was an intelligent existence that could communicate.

But along with the dark starry sky, a silver star lit up, and a mighty stream of light rushed towards the steel giant with unparalleled destructive power, and the particle light spear accelerated to the sub-light speed level was wrapped and heated to a hundred The heat of 10,000 degrees or even higher passed through the universe in an instant and came to the giant.

There are still people who fired naval guns because of fear or other reasons.

"Who is it?!" Taquin immediately roared angrily, looking around. This is not only a violation of his order, but also very likely to anger this void existence who seems to be able to communicate. At the moment when the atrium civilization is on the verge of destruction, if a new void life is angered again, it is equivalent to complete destruction All hope for the future of the Atrium people, not only him, but the command center and the highest government on the Atrium star fell into anger and panic. They immediately ordered the authorization to find out who issued the order to fire, but the spirit of everyone, Still condensed on the other side of the starry sky.

Facing the incoming particle light spear, the Iron Giant seemed to have expected it. He raised his right hand a second earlier for the main gun of the battleship that was powerful enough to pierce through the asteroid and completely evaporate a city. The psionic particles gathered toward the opponent's palm at the speed of light, and then condensed into a huge silver lightsaber in an instant. Next, the giant used this second of spare time to swing the giant sword, and the particle light spear easily cut off.

"Chaos lurks among you."

The silver brilliance was transmitted to the minds of all the atriums through the increase of the psychic light beam. The giant was not angry because he was attacked, but said in a calm tone: "I have helped you get rid of them."

And among the battleship clusters in the distance, inside several battleships, dozens of high-level battleships were burned to ashes by the fire from nowhere amidst miserable howls. It was still completely burned by the black and red flames, not only that, each battleship also thoughtfully left an atrium man eroded by chaos unconsciously in place to provide information, instead of being burned to ashes.

And the next moment, the huge black giant—because the golden-red appearance has cooled down—turned around, guided by the silver-blue psionic light beam, and slowly landed towards the Atrium Star, countless emptying artillery and missile defense nets locked on it This super life form in the void that still doesn't know good or evil, but there is no instruction from the highest level, all the controllers dare not move even if they are covered in cold sweat, they can only nervously watch the terrifying existence slowly move. After passing through the atmosphere, it gradually compressed in mid-air, became smaller, and finally transformed into a human form.

"The opponent has the ability to compress and transform itself!"

"The energy fluctuation has shrunk rapidly, and the current range is 230 million, which is equivalent to the core of a battleship engine!"

"A large amount of mass loss! Subspace reaction detected! The opponent transferred most of its body to the subspace to achieve miniaturization and humanoidization! The current mass fluctuates between 150,000 tons and 200,000 tons!"

"The existence code-named Void Giant has obvious wisdom, start Plan C!"

In this series of information transmission and intense analysis, the human figure that has become the size of an ordinary human, carrying a giant sword and ax is about to descend to the top of the holy mountain. He has black hair and eyes like flames , in the eyes of the highest consul, Mir Habs, who had just escaped from the psychic light beam, this void existence, which was very similar to the appearance of the void sage left behind back then, landed on the solemn platform. After landing, he paused for a moment, Then he turned and looked at himself, to be precise, it was the water drop in the amber pillar in his hand.

"The breath of a sage."

After confirming this, the black-haired figure approached Mir Habs, he stretched out his hand, and pulled the supreme consul who was unable to stand up due to excessive load from the ground, which detonated the scientific research personnel of the analysis center again in an instant, This is an expression of incomparable wisdom and goodwill that can be communicated, and Mill Habs could only stand up with the help of the other party in a daze, but then, it sensed a silver radiance pouring into its thinking center , a seed-shaped 'brain' made up of numerous ganglia located in the atrium of the human body.

"Excuse me, are you the ones who activated the certificate left by the sages and summoned me?" The black-haired figure said calmly, but Mirhabs was shocked to find that he could understand the other party's unknown language. He paused for this After a moment, he slowly said: "...Yes."

"What problem did you encounter that you need to use this ceremony?"

The black-haired figure is succinct and concise, and Mill Habs is also the highest leader of the planet after all. It reacted quickly, and then immediately replied: "Void behemoth! The Forby people have fled, we have to face the existence of the void." Attack directly!"

"So that's it, Chaos Invasion, right?"

Nodding, the black-haired figure laughed. His appearance was quite different from that of the Atrium man, but it seemed that because of the same cultural origin, Mill Habs instinctively knew that the other party was laughing. It originally wanted to reprimand him angrily. The other party, the current situation is not the time to laugh, but at this moment, he vaguely saw a huge half-body of a giant god flashing past the other party's back, and in the eyes flashing with silver light, there is a The most blazing killing intent and fighting intent.

"Then, I will sign a contract. In the name of a sage, I will fight against Chaos with you."

The smile quickly disappeared, and the black figure stood on the solemn platform that he felt familiar with. He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the amber pillar held by Mir Habs. He said calmly: "I am Joe." Huya van Radcliffe, conqueror of Chaos, has been summoned."

"This power can be used by you."

The update is late... this chapter is so difficult to write
