Soul of Burning Steel

"What is it?!"

"what happened?"

"This darkness..."

At the moment when the shadow surged out from the gap in the void and enveloped all the strong men present, the legendary strong men were also shocked to find that the battlefield where they originally fought had been completely shrouded in mist, and it had become a place with A dark space with a strong and oppressive atmosphere, this space is extremely calm, and it is incompatible with the ripples of time and space that are constantly rippling around.

fog? shadow? dark?

How can it be!

Almost all the legendary powerhouses who have a little understanding of the void can't help being stunned for a moment. As we all know, the void is nothingness outside the world. Except for the turbulent flow of time and space formed by the overflow of time and space in the world itself, there is almost nothing. What time and space? Terrifying void disasters such as storms are nothing more than violent space-time fluctuations.

Fog... How could there be such a calm fog in this terrifying void where even steel warships would be torn apart in an instant without the protection of runes?

But now is not the time to think about these things. The shadows pouring out from the gaps in the void have enveloped all the powerful people. Then, as the shadows become thicker and the darkness becomes more and more substantial, the surrounding areas of the entire Kronos world , the chaotic void that has been stirred by many legendary powerhouses has been swallowed into a huge, ball-like darkness. It is rapidly taking shape, and it seems to be turning into a huge egg, a huge cocoon .

But even if they don't know what's going on, no one will let this dark plan go smoothly.

In the battles of the previous few days, although none of the legendary existences were fatally injured, even Leviathan, the Void Behemoth who looked the most miserable and suffered the most injuries, was nothing more than a bruised and swollen face when compared to humans. , but in the final analysis, fighting needs to consume energy. The continuous high-intensity fighting for many days has indeed exhausted their spirits. In addition, they are immersed in the battle with each other, and they are suddenly attacked, and the power of the dark mist is maximized. , so all the powerhouses were imprisoned at once.

But when everyone reacts, they will never allow this shadow to imprison them!

"What the hell."

In the dark mist, Joshua looked around, and the darkness that was approaching him constantly made the soldier frowned, as if he saw something dirty.

He clasped his hands in front of his chest, and didn't make a move, but behind him appeared the phantom of a four-armed giant god. The phantom of steel power hundreds of meters high raised his iron fist silently, and then blasted towards the surroundings in an instant. Tens of thousands of straight punches with bursting fist wind, suddenly, the darkness that had covered the world and the void, so calm as stagnant water, suddenly began to shake violently, as if being bombarded by endless tsunami waves like that.

With Joshua's current strength, there are not many things in this world that can imprison him. Any material that does not reach the level of ultra-dense degenerate matter is useless in front of his eyes, and if there are not many legendary sealing circles It's flamboyant, and it's easy to be smashed by him directly... Even time and space can't bind it to one world, let alone another?

But strangely, even though the sea of ​​fog was violently fluctuated by Joshua's bombardment, as if it was about to collapse completely in the next moment, it was still not really defeated, and even on the contrary, after enduring Joshua's one-sided After the onslaught, the black mist seemed to be stimulated by something, and it suddenly began to multiply rapidly-the fog doubled and tripled before appeared in the surrounding void, approaching the warrior again!

Are physical attacks useless? Or is it the ability to absorb energy and self-proliferate?

For the legendary powerhouses, there is actually no guesswork at all in battle. With their strength and observation ability, any kind of attack will be completely seen through once it appears. In their world, the "unknown Attacks' are almost non-existent, and no matter how finely crafted, they are always fully understood, even if they cannot do it themselves.

Now is the moment of battle, Joshua's brain is running at an unprecedented speed, collecting all the surrounding information for analysis, his pupils turned into silver steel luster, sweeping the surrounding void, suddenly the microscopic structure of the black mist, energy The concentration, proliferation speed and impact on the surrounding void are all known.

Large-scale aggregation of black particles at the molecular level... It seems to be a fog, but it is actually connected as a whole through electromagnetic force.

In an instant, Joshua was aware of the enemy's existence—it was not so much a mist, but a net, a giant net that filtered through the void and the world, so fine that ordinary humans could not imagine ! And what it catches is not any specific prey, but the ubiquitous 'energy' in this world!

This is the darkness that swallows light, the giant net that captures energy!

Heat and kinetic energy are also a type of energy, so Joshua's punches have an effect at the beginning, but after the initial destructive power passes, that power will also be captured by them and turned into food for their own growth... In the entire void, The energy dense due to the great demon tide is rapidly dissipating, and the world of Kronos, which is also covered by it, has become colder because of the gradual disappearance of energy. After a while, maybe the whole world will be frozen because of it. Freeze, and finally become a cold and dead world like the Seventh Abyss!

Although the black mist has been seen through by Joshua, its actions will not be slowed down because of this. With the surging tide of the mist sea, the light in the void dimmed again—the star of the star that was relit by the great demon tide. Light, in essence, is produced by too much energy overflowing in the void, and the black mist is hunting these energies at this time, Joshua can sense the shocking mental fluctuations from the black dragon king Keano in the distance, as if it His negative energy is no exception, being swallowed by this silent darkness.

Many legendary powerhouses present, including demons, dragon kings, void behemoths, and the golden fleet all attacked at the moment they were swallowed, as if they wanted to break the darkness, but this action did not have much effect, just like Joshua's straight punch was the same as before, but the enemy began to proliferate instead.

After receiving so many attacks, the sea of ​​fog in the void also began to squirm rapidly. It seemed that it wanted to start a counterattack and digest the prey in its body.

Suddenly, in the dark interior, the shadows were condensing, and the endless black particles began to rotate rapidly under the violent fluctuations of the thunder magic power, that is, the huge electromagnetic force. They condensed into millions of raindrops in an instant, and the whole body It was pitch black, as if the black needles could devour light, and then shot towards all the legendary powerhouses in it like this!

There was no resistance in the void, and the needles reached their maximum speed in an instant. They were like a torrential rain coming from all directions, trying to pierce all the targets. The black mist has encountered many powerful enemies, but it is impossible for any powerful enemy to be unscathed under its attack.

But this time, I'm afraid there will be an exception.

Joshua didn't know how the others would respond. Anyway, for him, the counterattack of the black mist was a bit disappointing. Facing the endless waves that hit from top, bottom, left, right, front, back, and front at the same time, at one-twentieth the speed of light, Joshua With black spikes, the phantom of the Iron Giant appeared again behind the warrior—but what was quite different from before was that the phantom of the giant began to shrink rapidly the moment it appeared, and finally turned into a figure similar to that of Joshua himself. The size is so great that it even merged with the warrior's body in the end, leaving only four arms.

You can hear the sound of the huge mass being extremely compressed, and you can see the surrounding space-time ripples begin to sag with Joshua as the center. On the shoulders of the warrior, two pairs of silver, strong arms that look like metal have been condensed, including Joshua's body The six fists inside were slowly clenched, causing the surrounding void to stir up waves like a tsunami.

And the next moment, it was a swing.

When the black spikes came at a high speed, Joshua stepped into the void with a blank expression on his face, and his six arms covering the front, rear, left, right, up, down, and up had already brought about a burst of time and space ripples, dispersing all incoming attacks. Block all!

The black needles counted in tens of thousands are like a torrential rain, hitting at a speed of tens of millions of meters per second, and the way Joshua chose to deal with it was to shatter every raindrop.

With Joshua at the center, time seemed to stand still, and one could only see countless groups of ink-like black mist rapidly disintegrating. In the hearts of the warriors who had closed their eyes and sensed the surroundings with pure energy induction, it struck almost at the same time. In fact, there is a sequence of the black spikes, and what he did was just point out one by one without any fancy, crush all the spikes in sequence, and beat them into black. fog.

Bang bang bang bang—there should be no sound in the void, but the black mist produced by the bursting of black spikes can carry the fluctuations. Joshua's physical fitness and reaction ability are already unbelievably high. Ordinary attacks don't make any sense to him at all.

--that's all.

Sensing the black mist condensing around him, Joshua paused the action of condensing the spikes because he was shocked by his own coping method, Joshua opened his eyes again, and scanned the surroundings. And at this moment, as if something went wrong in the soldier's response, a black spike unexpectedly passed Joshua's interception and slammed into him fiercely!

But without any accident, this black spike also instantly collapsed into a black mist... Joshua's body strength is no different from his arms, they are all extremely condensed degenerate matter, hitting the warrior's body, and Getting intercepted by him doesn't make any difference.

But also because of this, Joshua nodded in a sudden realization: "So that's the case, I didn't expect it to be this kind of attack."

After intentionally letting go of a black spike and allowing it to attack his body, Joshua finally felt the true power of the black spike—it seemed tiny, but it was actually condensed by electromagnetic force. The resulting spikes have a density exceeding most substances, and the weak current lingering around it can even cause the disintegration of substances at the molecular level! Coupled with the energy absorption effect of the black mist itself, like this, ordinary energy shields and substances seem to have no effect on the spikes.

The most important thing is that if you are careless for a moment, you are pierced into your body by this black needle, even the legendary warrior will cut off the energy circulation in your body by the warrior, causing a chain reaction and getting injured... A simple but powerful attack, unfortunately, has no effect on yourself .

Joshua shook his head. After his body has achieved 27% assimilation of the power of steel, the entire surface of his body is already a degenerate substance. Even a single hair is enough to pierce through it. All the magical weapons, if it weren't for the old Pope's rogue ability that can control the speed of light, almost nothing in this world can hurt him, whether it is material collapse or energy absorption, it is meaningless to soldiers.

"Speaking of which, the cohesion of this electromagnetic force...why does it feel like the power of that ancient dragon?"

"What does this mist have to do with the ancient dragon that has the power of thunder?"

The surrounding sea of ​​fog is violently turbulent. It seems that other legendary powerhouses are dealing with the siege of spikes like a torrential rain, but the darkness around Joshua has temporarily stopped moving. It seems that it is because of the warrior's incredible coping methods and physical fitness. Shocked, but Joshua didn't care that much, instead he cared about the power essence of the black mist.

"But it's not surprising. The power of the ancient dragon was learned by others, and then used against itself, which is very reasonable."

The power of the ancient dragon can be regarded as a natural phenomenon under certain circumstances. It is reasonable for intelligent life to absorb knowledge from natural phenomena, arm itself, and then deal with natural phenomena in turn.

On the other side, it seemed that he knew that the previous attack was useless against Joshua, so after a few seconds of pause, the sea of ​​dark fog began to surge violently, which was completely different from the appearance of dealing with other legendary powerhouses. . It is not that the darkness that has fought countless powerful enemies has never encountered enemies that are almost indestructible like warriors, so they know what kind of attack they should use.

In the center of the dark mist, deep purple lightning spread in the shadows, causing endless black particles to condense through the flickering thunder. It formed an extremely condensed core, and began to accumulate energy and quality that made the void tremble!

But it is not the only one that will attack, while everyone else can only be beaten passively.

Just when the dark mist began to condense the core, at the other end of the mist, Joshua stepped into the void. He radiated high-heat rays all over his body, causing regular crimson lines like cracks to appear on his body. The soldier took a deep breath, and suddenly in the surrounding void, the energy that was continuously condensing towards the dark core was actually pulled by a huge suction force and poured into his mouth. Joshua, who had entered the full combat state, clenched his six fists tightly, and his pupils shone with the silver light of steel power. He stubbornly competed with the shadow for the share of energy, which greatly delayed the speed of the formation of the dark core.

Joshua could clearly feel that in the center of the darkness that devoured all energy, some kind of incredible change was taking place—a vacuum was appearing, not the cosmic vacuum and the vacuum in which nothing visible to the naked eye existed, but Truly an absolute vacuum! The reason why energy condensation and the completely opposite situation of vacuum appear at the same time is precisely because all the energy in that space is drawn away by the darkness, and then compressed into the dark core!

Extreme condensation and absolute vacuum! Such an extreme situation appeared in front of Joshua's eyes. Under the restraint of the astonishing electromagnetic force, the dark core is transforming itself into a black aggregate with a density higher than that of Joshua's super-density matter, and The scope of the vacuum is also further expanded due to the increase in the density of the black core!

The warrior saw through the plan of the black mist in an instant. It planned to use the black spikes to directly break its balance at the moment the dark core was formed, releasing a tide of terrifying mass that could destroy everything—the first explosion was a rapidly expanding The vacuum sucks everything around, and the second eruption is the disintegration of the material core, causing a large-scale material energy collapse! This power is enough to destroy everything, turning everything swept into a sea of ​​pure thermal ions!

Vacuum implosion!

"Miniature artificial mass points... can't plunder energy, will they destroy matter?"

Facing the material energy rapidly condensed by the enemy, Joshua, who still maintained his human form, stretched out his arms. His expression was calm, and the silver light condensed in his palm. The palm of his hand flowed and formed, and finally turned into a cold metal spear. The space shook with the sharp tip of the spear, creating waves of ripples. Joshua weighed it in and felt a little dissatisfied, so the red flame merged into the tip of the spear, causing the space around the tip of the spear to release a fiery light distorted by the space depression.

This spear is not a simple spear, but a projection of the power of steel. It is the condensation of degenerate matter with a mass of hundreds of thousands of tons. The weight of a hill is compressed into a spear as tall as a person. Xiuya's high heat heated to tens of millions of degrees... This is the simplest, most direct, and most brutal force in the material world.

"To be honest, I really don't understand. How dare you sneak attack on eight legendary existences at the same time and imprison them in your body... You darkness, who are you looking down on? Even a god would not be so arrogant!"

Holding the spear in his hand, Joshua narrowed his eyes slightly. He saw through the meaningless line of sight blocked by the black sea of ​​fog, and saw the rapidly forming dark core avatar. It condensed very quickly, but the warrior was even faster. The steel spear in his hand has been heated to the golden red of the sun by the high heat of nuclear fusion, and the energy of the explosion overflows into lightning plasma, which spreads towards the surrounding void, and an attack capable of destroying everything has already formed in the palm of the soldier.

So, he raised his spear and pointed it at the center of the shadow fog.

——Feel the light of the sun, the unknown darkness.

Accompanied by the incomparably powerful mass projected to distort the space, only a golden arc of light could be seen breaking through the shadows, and the iron spear accelerated to an unbelievable degree by Joshua's power pierced through the darkness. superior.

A vacuum world has no sound.

However, the next moment.

The violently surging light pierced the darkness and illuminated the world of Kronos beneath it.
