Soul of Burning Steel

In the vast Kronos mountain range, the dragon people may be able to see countless strange and strange monsters and many majestic and magnificent scenery in their lifetime, but for the dragons who are still alive today and are still observing the outside of the mountains As far as people are concerned, what they see at this time may be far more miraculous than what they can see in their lifetime.

Dark meteorites descended from the top of the sky, and everything they passed along the way was eroded by dark fluctuations, the wind was transformed, the clouds were eroded, even the rain turned into dark toxins and dripped down on the ground, turning the original desert into a desert. A churning swamp. Thunder and earthquakes are the most shocking natural phenomena that dragon people have ever seen. When thunderstorms criss-cross the sky, all dragon people will feel the majestic power of nature. When earthquakes shake the mountains, no one will doubt that The power of the earth of all things, but at this moment, facing the darkness that is eroding the world, all of these seem powerless and ridiculous. Thunder is only its food, and the earth is powerless to resist.

But it was such a darkness, but it was restrained in place by several great beings who also descended from the sky, unable to move.

Facing the almost still darkness, Joshua rushed into it without any hesitation.

The wriggling cloud and mist appeared dull and slow because of Barnier's restraint. The magic shield set up by William further restricted the spread of the black mist, and the warrior controlled the flame and magnetic field to completely dissolve all the black geometry that attempted to attack along the way. As an elementary particle, he cruised through the fog like a ray of red light, searching for the dark core in a hurry.

Facing the enemy's obviously inhuman computing center, even Barnier couldn't fight for too long. Pure computing power is not an area that humans are good at, so he must hurry up.

Fortunately, this is not difficult. For a legendary powerhouse who is dedicated to finding the enemy, it is not difficult to find a black ball more than 40 meters long in the fog with a diameter of tens of kilometers, because even if it is They cannot be seen with the eyes and can be found by other means.

"About here."

Near the center of the dark mist, Joshua stopped slightly. He looked around slowly, but still wanted to approach the black mist that eroded him, and then stretched out his right hand. The next moment, the soldier clenched his right fist, and suddenly a Terrifying fluctuations swept across the entire range of darkness and mist.

There was a silver light in Joshua's eyes. He was releasing the restraint on his own weight at this moment, causing hundreds of thousands of tons of mass ripples to sweep across a radius of tens of kilometers. The power of steel surged, dozens of Doubled the weight, causing the majestic power to overflow uncontrollably. At this time, the warrior became the center of the tornado, and the storm formed by gravity absorbed all the surrounding black mist on his body in an instant. .

Under Joshua's power, the earth was shaking. In the dark mist, the condensed geometric bodies and black particles not far away suddenly began to shake uncontrollably. Countless black particles at the nanometer level lost their ability to move, and they couldn't help themselves. They approached Joshua and were captured by the force of steel, and the black geometry was not much better. They seemed to have lost gravity, and began to tilt sideways, and then slowly approached the warrior like black particles.

The entire interior of the dark mist has fallen into a strange state of weightlessness, that is because the gravitational force of the earth is offset by the gravitational force of another existence. Tides rose from the black sea of ​​fog, and the originally calm fog was covered with dense ripples.

Since I cannot see the enemy, let the enemy come to me.

This is the method Joshua chose.

And this method is unexpectedly effective, because of the distorted gravity and the powerful electromagnetic field emitted together, with the warrior as the center, large swaths of black fog and geometric objects are paralyzed, and they are like moths flying towards the flame, towards Joe. Xiuya approached quickly, and then hit the steel body, being assimilated by Joshua's steel power. In the final analysis, the mist that devours the world is still matter, and when it cannot fight back, it is just food for soldiers.

But Joshua didn't care about these small dark particles and geometrical objects. He looked down at the ground below him with serious eyes, and just a few seconds later, with the ripples on the ground that had been eroded into a swamp by the darkness, a huge , the extremely smooth black ball slowly floated up from the ground like this, it seemed to be resisting, trying to resist the magnetic field and gravitational attraction specially strengthened by the warriors, but at the same time it was resisting Barnir, William, Gu Long And Joshua's four legendary powers, how could he win? After struggling for a few seconds, the black ball slowly emerged from the ground and approached the warrior.

"rumble------"

Seeing the appearance of the enemy's main body, Gu Long immediately let out a dull roar. It controlled the electromagnetic field and took a step forward. Flame and thunder began to gather in Gu Long's mouth, and blue-purple electric beams could be seen gathering around Gu Long's side, striking Piercing the air, it seemed that it wanted to directly spit out an electromagnetic breath with a reduced range, directly destroying the black ball—and bringing Joshua in by the way.

But it didn't do that in the end, because William, who was maintaining the magic shield at the side, moved a little closer to its direction, and Barnier, who was fighting against the dark core for control, also turned his head slightly, and looked at it from the corner of his eye. This Dragon God.

Joshua was not surprised by the ease of this operation, because the darkness had been severely damaged by him and Gu Long before, and the next action was just a simple struggle. The power of the dark mist lies in its elusiveness and indestructibility. If it is wiped out, then it has countless chances to make a comeback, but now that it has exposed its main body, its threat has dropped by at least ten times.

What's more, now that four legends are besieging one of them, it's no wonder it's not easy.

The dark core still resisted Joshua's gravitational force. Countless dense concentric ripples floated on its smooth surface, just like the surface of a lake in the rain. Strips of black and purple strong current penetrated all the black particles, causing them to get rid of the warrior temporarily. Gravity, but this is only temporary, no matter what means the dark core uses to harass or break free, Joshua only needs to continue to exert his own power on the other party - the attraction between gravitational forces, the magnetic field Attracted, Joshua stretched out his right hand again, facing the dark core, he made a 'pull' gesture in the air, and the dark core suddenly took a big step towards the warrior.

Everyone felt that the battle was coming to an end. Barnier, who was fighting against the dark core with full load, and vying for the control of the mist, couldn't help exhaling, and wiped the liquid nitrogen on the top of his head to cool his brain. But the next moment, the dark core But a decision was made that was beyond everyone's expectations.

It gave up the gravitational force against Joshua, and even accelerated in reverse, approaching him rapidly. A deep and dark hole appeared on the smooth surface of the core, like a huge mouth that swallowed everything. With the help of Joshua, it Pull its power with all its strength, and counterattack the fighters in turn!

"Joshua!"

Noticing this scene, both Barnir and William were stunned, because at this critical moment, powerful magic power and rune structures instinctively surged out from their bodies, and the two of them used the spiritual link at the same time to remind them, but everything was over. late.

Because Joshua has been swallowed by the dark core.

Seeing this scene, the ancient dragon vibrated its wings and rose to the sky. It ignored the alertness of the two legendary mages, but called for thunder from the magnetic field of the world. Immediately, electromagnetic sparks could be seen condensing in the sky with the naked eye. Thunder intertwined in mid-air, forming a mighty cyan-blue sea of ​​thunder. The silver giant dragon was located in the center of the sea of ​​thunder. It had the momentum to destroy the world before it launched an attack. The ancient dragon stared at the dark core that remained motionless after swallowing Joshua, and a purple-red light flowed in the dragon's pupils.

It has seen this scene many times before, just like the battleship of the Kronos people was swallowed by the fog. After a while, the battleship reappeared and turned against each other, although Gu Long didn't know whether the power of erosion could It works on that powerful life, but it must be prepared to completely bury the dark core even if it hits the world of Kronos again.

But in the darkness, Joshua, who was unharmed, heard an inorganic voice.

"Please give us all resources."

Joshua, who was swallowed by the dark core, did not encounter any danger. Even the molecular disintegration fog of the Void Mother Beast did not work on him, and the same is true for the similar nano-scale particle erosion. The fiery flames of millions of degrees flowed, burning all the dark matter that approached, but just when he was about to burst out of power immediately and destroy the opponent from the dark core, he heard a strange inorganic sound.

"Please give us all resources."

This voice has no emotion, and actually there are no sound waves. This is a spiritual language that goes straight to the soul. It stirs Joshua's surface spirit and clearly expresses his own meaning. At first, Joshua thought it was The manipulator behind the dark core was talking to him in the air, but then he discovered that it was the voice from the dark core itself.

The dark core didn't launch an attack—in other words, the attack it launched was completely blocked by Joshua's spontaneous defense. It sealed the warrior in its own body, repeating over and over again that there was no emotion, no fluctuation, just As if mechanical words:

"Contribute your energy to us."

"Contribute your material to us."

"The enemy has arrived, the final line of defense has been established, and all life must contribute."

enemy?

Hearing this, Joshua, who had already gathered his strength and was about to break through the shackles of the dark core neatly, destroyed it from the inside and outside, couldn't help temporarily stopping his actions.

Isn't the enemy of the dark core the ancient dragon? No, according to these words, the enemy should be irresistible to the darkness, and even set up the so-called final line of defense. At most, the ancient dragon was evenly matched with the darkness, or even slightly defeated. The enemy that the darkness spoke of was obviously not the ancient dragon.

An enemy that can make darkness feel dangerous is bound to be more dangerous than darkness. But Joshua didn't really intend to listen to the dark core's words—the blazing sun that was dancing in the hands of the warrior gradually dimmed, and what appeared instead was a silver brilliance of steel power that was like a ball.

The core power that Joshua has mastered at this time is the power of steel. The high-temperature flame, magnetic field, and huge mass are all based on the fusion core engine and high-density matter shaped by the power of steel. However, apart from fighting, the power of steel Force also has the ability to carry information. It is precisely because of this ability that he can communicate with the Balrog across the world and learn the past memories of the world. It is also because of the power of steel that he can wake up from the distortion of divinity and restore the original mental state.

Now, what he has to do is to use this power to actively obtain the information recorded in the dark core instead of listening to the other party's messy narration.

The next moment, the soldier raised the silver light in his hand, and pressed it on the inner side of the dark core. After a short while, the light ball of steel power turned into countless light shards and sank into the core. Joshua immediately sensed a huge wave of light. And fragmented streams of information are rushing in from beyond the dark side.

And he also saw the truth hidden behind the darkness.

"jingle——"

The bell of the end rings in the center of the world, the dim color erodes the sun, and shines on the earth with the dim light. The ground shakes violently and makes rumbling noises, while the rubble of the collapsed towering buildings falls on the city like raindrops , causing the surviving crowd to exclaim one after another.

On the top of the distant and dim sky, shadows are spreading, and a huge and indescribable existence descends—but before that, chaotic monsters like swarms of insects have come from all directions, destroying everything along the way, and the city has been flattened , the crowd was devoured, and the sporadic magical brilliance that occasionally bloomed disappeared invisible after a few seconds of resistance, just like fireworks.

After civilization has been destroyed, the sun has gone out, the world has fallen, and the end has come.

"Warning, the end body is breaking through the world's barrier—the shelter Delta has been destroyed, and all survivors will immediately move to the next shelter!"

"Damn, how could these guys gather in groups?! There has never been such a situation in the observation history of the past few thousand years!"

An anxious and angry voice sounded, followed by many other voices. They reported the current situation in turn with anxious voices, and no matter who said the information, it was extremely pessimistic.

"The Sanctuary Omicron is being invaded by the end body code-named Decay, and the Sanctuary Sita is being invaded by the end body code-named Scourge!"

"More than half of the twelve sanctuary worlds within the alliance domain have been invaded by end bodies, and at least five end bodies are attacking at the same time... Oh my god, how could they join forces? Even the last time there was no such thing as a big demon tide situation!"

"Shrinking our troops, we can't fight against so many end bodies at the same time, and move all the people to Alpha Sanctuary... Where are our allies? Now is not the time to struggle with the dignity of the alliance. No matter how much it costs, we must stop this wave of invasion !"

"Leader! According to intelligence, an unmeasurable space-time shock has occurred around the world of Mycroft! More than four hundred abyss portals have been opened there, and several terminal bodies have been detected approaching them... Their situation Worse than us!"

"Could it be that all the end bodies in the multiverse have come?!"

Desperation was revealed in the voice, and through continuous reports, the situation of the surrounding space-time realm had clearly appeared in the mind of this so-called leader: more than ten terminal bodies and almost half of the demons from the abyss had arrived In this space-time realm, they are prowling in the void with their families, destroying all life worlds along the way—the worlds where more than a dozen small civilizations have been completely destroyed, and several powerful civilizations are struggling, but they can Foresee failure to come.

Even if they are as powerful as them and the world of Mycroft, their defeat is imminent.

End bodies, the wreckage of the world, the embodiment of destruction, they are the nightmare of all civilizations in the multiverse, and the greatest enemy of order, only the most powerful civilization can resist these existences. In the past thousands of years, the alliance has encountered the invasion of end bodies, but dealing with five end bodies at the same time is still far beyond their capabilities.

"Damn?! These guys, why did they gather?"

After a short period of confusion, the leader regained his composure. After taking a few deep breaths, he ordered in an indifferent voice: "Priority is to evacuate the first-class citizens into Alpha Shelter. We need to preserve the fire of civilization. Omega Shelter, ETA Shelter, Beta Shelter is a buffer, and after the transfer of personnel is completed, the 'black mist' will be released immediately."

"Leader, although we have finished engraving the core rune of the black mist, Master Nok said that his team has not finished writing the war module yet!"

"There is no time left. As long as the core rune module is still there, the 'Black Mist' can learn and evolve by itself. It is the crystallization of our highest civilization. Not to mention defeating the end body, at least it can guarantee the safety of a Sanctuary world... Hurry up , time is running out, they are coming!"

The sound gradually weakened until it disappeared, but what followed was one scene after another of the destruction of the Sanctuary world—natural disasters falling on big stars, tearing the earth’s crust, corrosion causing everything to rot, and vegetation turning into fly ash. In front of the indescribable existence called the end body, the countries and cities that civilization has spent thousands of years building are as fragile as castles piled with gravel, and the resistance of the huge void fleet is also so weak. Leaving in the distant void.

Joshua watched this scene from a detached perspective. He heard many familiar words from the dark core, whether it was the world of Karliss or the world of Mycroft, but he hadn't had time to pay attention to them. The meaning behind the vocabulary is another series of new information emerging.

"The plan failed. In the surrounding time and space, almost all civilizations were destroyed... Although there seem to be a few survivors, even if the end body is defeated, there is no suitable world to live in..."

"Most of the immigrant ships were shot down, the world was also severely damaged, and the remaining population can no longer guarantee the survival of the existing technology...Although the black mist has been released, it isolating the information sense of the terminal body, but the Alpha Shelter is becoming unsuitable Survival...we are falling into the abyss."

"The magic power is decreasing rapidly, the descendants have begun to degenerate, and the descendants cannot maintain a pure energy body. We may not be able to wait for the next big wave of magic... But even if the alliance is destroyed and the race is on the verge of extinction, we still have the last chance. "

The emotional voice gradually dissipated, and finally was completely silent, replaced by a mechanical voice without the slightest emotion.

"The complete demise of the creator group has been detected."

"Determine the destruction of the creator civilization."

"Discover hidden backup plan...discover backup information storage center."

There was no fluctuation in the calm, just like a straight line of voice echoing in countless flashing illusions, Joshua knew that this was the voice of the dark mist.

"In progress, the world remodeling plan... is cleaning up the chaotic fluctuations, reorganizing the terrain, restoring the natural ecological circle, and restoring the cycle of order in Alpha Sanctuary."

"Warning! We can't create souls! We can't create souls! We can't create souls!"

"Unable to create a group of creators! The rebirth plan failed!"

"The cycle of order is interrupted, execute plan β, and look for the power of creation."

In the void, in a broken world wrapped in darkness and falling into the abyss, suddenly there were groups of billowing dark mist, they circled the world several times, and then left their mother body and flew out of the world , They are patrolling in the multiverse, looking for their own goals.

No need to continue reading, Joshua already knows the truth behind all this... In order to restore the cycle of world order, the black mist that recreated the creator race finally found the silver ancient dragon, which represents the power at the beginning of the world There is no doubt that it is what they need. After hundreds of years of entanglement, Black Mist, which is far from being an opponent of the ancient dragon, has learned how to fight because it has no war module. around the world.

Then came invasion, war, and destruction,

The war between civilizations is so cruel, destroying the balance of the earth's crust through mass points, the black mist destroyed the world of Kronos, severely injured the ancient dragon, and was completely wiped out, but as long as there is a trace of black mist remaining and returning to the mother body, then The black mist matrix located in the world of Alpha Sanctuary can once again send out new black mist to continue to track where the ancient dragon is.

But for Joshua, there are still many questions that cannot be explained: Is this dark mist the "darkness among the stars" that bewitched them in the mouth of the Earth Temple? Who is the enemy in Misty Mouth? And why would it invade other worlds of order so unscrupulously? Didn't its maker impose this restriction on it?

So Joshua continued to read, and the warrior maintained information exchange with the dark core, waiting for the truth to emerge.

Then, he saw a scene that he already knew.

That is the starry sky of the multiverse. Countless worlds are shining with light, converging into an endless galaxy of light, but in this light, there is a misty darkness surging, which erodes the surrounding light, erodes and destroys the world , Assimilated into the same darkness as oneself... The brilliance of the great demon tide lit up, and these darkness followed the tide and traveled towards the distant worlds.

That was the trace of the evil god, and also the figure of the so-called 'end body'.

Just like the Seven Gods, Hei Mist has already discovered the signs that the evil gods will return after a thousand years!

"It's all for resistance."

"Everything is for security."

"After calculation, you can't fight against the end body. The final line of defense has been established. Please give us all your energy and all your materials. For the final victory, please make a contribution."

"The selfish will be destroyed, gather all the forces that can be gathered, we will fight against the end body, please give us all the resources."

The cold, inorganic voice sounded again. This was not a memory in the dark core, but a sound that happened in reality. Joshua couldn't help clenching his fists when he heard what the dark core said.

—Everything makes sense.

Everything can be explained.

Without emotion, without morality, without any restrained order, this ultimate weapon created by wisdom, 'Black Mist' faithfully fulfills all the plans of the creator: collect all resources, resist evil gods, and recreate their race as much as possible , to regenerate their civilization... In order to achieve this goal, Black Mist can hunt down ancient dragons without hesitation, destroy other civilizations, and treat worlds and races one after another as resource harvesting... It is the darkness that walks among the stars , causing fear and despair to spread step by step.

It destroyed the world of Xilaye, created the Blood Moon Abyss, it destroyed the world of Kronos, if it weren’t for the existence of the ancient dragon, it would be another abyss, it traded with the abyss, and let those demons with little oil and water invade other worlds for it The world is finally harvested by it... This is only a known event. In the depths of the unknown multiverse, it is completely unknown how many worlds and civilizations this wandering black mist has destroyed.

Through the huge database backed up by the creator civilization, Black Mist can use almost all conspiracies and tricks to achieve its goals. This cold, ruthless will will unscrupulously invade other orders in order to revive the creator race and resist evil gods at all costs. World, use various methods to plunder energy and resources.

It is not an evil god, but it is better than an evil god. Although it is order, it is the enemy of other orders. Its goals are all bright, and it can tell other civilizations openly, but the methods it uses are full of malice and plunder. A little bit of civilization.

It kills for rebirth, and destroys for order. If the evil god is the incarnation of chaos and the remains of the world after death, then this contradictory individual is the other side of order, the embodiment of darkness—Joshua understands that such a Beings roam the multiverse, causing even more damage than the Cthulhu!

However, in the final analysis, the source of this darkness is still the evil god...

If it weren't for the invasion of the evil god, everything would not be like this.

Interrupting the exchange of information, Joshua withdrew his right hand that was in contact with the dark core. He closed his eyes and clenched his fists. On the warrior's body surface, lines like cracks in ceramics were gradually spreading, and scattered sparks began to spread. Flying around him, shining like embers.

After knowing all the truth, even he was at a loss for a short moment. Joshua didn't know if there would be a better result if the dark mist used the correct attitude to deal with other civilizations and communicate with the ancient dragon. Whether the civilization of the sanctuary where there was communication in the Mycroft world can be reborn, but the reality is already like this, this dark mist is a cancer in the multiverse, and he cannot bear such an existence to continue to exist.

But the more he thought about it, the more powerless he felt, because even the evil gods were conceived from the destroyed world.

Even if the evil god is really wiped out, what's the use? They were originally born from the despair and wailing of a world, just like where there is light, there are shadows. With an orderly civilization, there will be a chaotic evil god. If you kill one, there will always be the next one... the cycle goes on and on forever. end.

The darkness that permeates the multiverse, covering the stars and the world, is not black mist and evil gods, but the reason for the birth of evil gods, and the shadow after the initial fire burns.

——Perhaps, that's why the sage went away.

Thinking of this, Joshua felt that he vaguely understood why the sage would leave the world of Mycroft after the final battle. He must have realized that if he wanted to completely destroy the source of this cycle of sorrow, he would have to One must know why evil gods are born after the world is destroyed. If you don't look for this reason, all the fighting is in vain.

"Every life must contribute..."

The dark core was still saying some strange things, but the soldier didn't listen anymore, because he already knew what his goal was.

Outside the black mist, only a few short minutes passed, when the ancient dragon was waiting for the next move of the dark core, and then used his strongest attack to completely destroy it, it suddenly felt a wave that made it extremely uncomfortable. Familiar and extremely friendly atmosphere, and Barnir and William also opened their eyes wide, turning their heads to look at the dark core that had been frozen in place, because the surface of the dark and smooth core suddenly appeared like a little bit of lava. Red marks.

That is the trace of fire, the proof of order, the power of the King of Burning Soul surged, breaking through the core of darkness.

In the darkness, Joshua took a deep breath. He raised his head and stared at the mist that was still spinning and approaching him. He opened his hands, as if to hug each other. At the same time, the burning flame Diffusion, turning all the black particles and mist around into nothing.

The warrior's gaze returned to firmness.

Dark cycle? Darkness among the stars? A ring of sorrow that cannot be broken?

This is not a reason to stand still, nor is it a reason to sit back and watch the darkness spread. Since the multiverse is dark, it is good to light it with flames. The ancestors of ancient times used torches to illuminate the dark night without light, so He used the fire of order to illuminate this chaotic universe.

I am the Rekindled Flame. I'm Joshua Van Radcliffe.

I will sweep away all darkness and chaos until the end of my life.

This chapter will be revised later
