Soul of Burning Steel

"You were able to contact me through 'light'... It seems that that piece of steel still has a function that I don't know about."

Holding the light whose surface had been transformed into metallic silver light in his arms, Joshua spoke to the steel python Karlis who was at the other end of time and space. He frowned slightly, as if dissatisfied with the other party's abruptness: "You should Tell me sooner."

"That piece of steel is itself a part of me, and connecting with you through it was originally one of the purposes of giving this piece to you."

And Karlis's tone was as gentle as ever, and it said softly: "It's just that I didn't expect that you didn't fuse that piece of steel, but gave it to this nascent will... It seems that you gave it back. Fragments of other worlds?"

Karliss' tone turned to surprise: "It's really generous."

Generally speaking, if ordinary people get the world fragments that can enable people to control powers, they will definitely use them without hesitation. After all, this is a strange thing that can instantly turn a mortal into a powerhouse comparable to the ultimate power. The steel python It is precisely because of this logic that I feel that I should be able to contact Joshua directly through the fragments.

However, the warriors are indeed not very interested in these fragments... The power bestowed by Karlis is to control wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and other natural phenomena released through elements, but Joshua does not need these fragments and powers, relying on his own strength Being able to do this was precisely because he felt tasteless, so when Joshua felt that these things might be beneficial to Xiao Guang, who was also the will of the world, he simply fed them to the other party.

"That fragment has no ability other than communication. This child simply heard my voice, so he came to contact you."

Karliss explained a little bit, and then it changed its tone: "Joshua, I'm contacting you this time because of an important matter."

"What's up."

Joshua could feel that Carliss had no malicious intentions, and Xiaoguang did help the other party contact him because of his own will, so he didn't care about the fragments. Conversely, the warrior also knew very well that it must be because of something important that the steel python Karlis could spend a small amount of power to contact him across the world.

"It's unbelievable, but Joshua, in my perception, the world of Mycroft is dying."

With the most simple and unpretentious words, he said the unimaginable content, and the tone of Karliss was also full of inconceivable. It didn't pay attention to the expression of Joshua who also had an inexplicable face, but continued: "I witnessed Mycroft The fire in the world has been rekindled, and I can feel the vitality in the world... Unlike the world I live in, the world of Mycroft should have completely become a normal world. The lifespan is not endless, but at least in the next few days. It should remain stable for ten millennia."

"However, I sensed the wailing of the world's dying... That sound was just like the time when the 'famine' came."

When saying this, the steel python squirmed itself through the huge body of the past and the future, and the jewel-like pupils of the snake shone with red light, which seemed to express its doubts.

The will of the world cannot communicate with mortals. They are existences of a completely different dimension from ordinary life, and they are "existent" lives. Only the soul burners who hold the authority of the original fire can communicate with them. When the Calliss world observed this phenomenon, it immediately thought of Joshua, and only Joshua could communicate with it and discuss the authenticity of this phenomenon.

Perhaps 'light' can also be regarded as an existence that can communicate, but light does not have combat power.

"A sound similar to the coming of the 'famine' evil god? In the world of Mycroft? The wailing of dying? This is not something that can be joked casually."

When Joshua heard the blockbuster news, his face couldn't help changing slightly. The matter involved the evil god and the end of the world, so no one should be careless. Even if Carliss made a false report, then he Action must also be taken, which is his responsibility.

"Why didn't I perceive anything... Tsk, the matter is too important, it seems that other people must be notified."

Although he still had doubts, at this moment, Joshua immediately stood up from his seat. He was going to contact Israel and Nostradamus first, and then go to communicate with Pope Eagle, and the old Pope It has the means to contact all legendary powerhouses.

However, just when Joshua was about to contact the emperor and the old mage, he suddenly thought of another possibility.

"Karliss, in your perception, is everything in the Mycroft world as usual?"

He emphasized: "It is the world itself."

"There is no abnormality...but the wailing of the dying is accompanied by the tide of the great demon, and it is constantly spreading towards the surrounding void of the multiverse."

At the other end of time and space, the steel python was a little surprised by Joshua's question, but it still said patiently: "When I found something wrong, I immediately came to contact you, so the voice may not have spread too far... But if it continues, it may attract some terrifying beings."

Karlis didn't say clearly what those terrifying existences were, but who else could make the will of the world afraid of them, besides evil gods? Afterwards, Steel Python continued to emphasize: "The space-time realm we are in is connected to the abyss, and there are also many ancient evils living there. They sense the wailing of a world that is about to be destroyed, and they definitely don't mind coming to share the world. wreckage."

"Is that so, I probably understand."

Joshua narrowed his eyes, he probably had a guess in his mind, but this guess was inconvenient to say to the steel python who was the will of the world. So after pondering for a while, he strode out of the study and headed to the top floor of the Lord's Mansion.

"Master? It's so late, do you want to go out?"

On the top floor, Yingying, who was sitting on the battlements and reading a book by the light, suddenly saw Joshua appear, holding a small fluorescent light in his hand, and couldn't help being a little surprised: "I'm taking a walk with the light today, how strange? Come back at night ?"

"Come back, remember to prepare supper for me."

Although the matter of eating food is meaningless to Joshua now, the process of eating itself is also a part of life. Meals are business as usual. After he instructed the silver-haired girl, he turned into a streamer and flew towards the sky.

In just an instant, he broke through the barrier of the world and came to the void.

In the void, the light of the magic tide is surging, and it can be seen that there is a wave of white energy surging in the multiverse. Countless worlds are shining in this sea of ​​fog like nebulae, hazy and bright.

The moment Joshua came to the void, he immediately felt a burst of slight pressure, which was the thrust generated by the energy of the great demon tide being attracted by the mass of the world and continuously penetrating into the world, or in other words, gravity. For individuals, this kind of thrust has no effect, almost non-existent, but for things that are too large, this kind of thrust accumulates and becomes a powerful pressure that cannot be resisted.

Just like the boundless heaven, this is the abode of God that hangs above the world of Mycroft and breathes with the world. Like Fairy Township, this plane bubble also hangs outside the Mycroft world. It is precisely because of the thrust of the great demon tide that it is continuously pushed into the Mycroft world. Even the gods cannot resist this. The process, what they can do is to maintain the process of smooth integration of the boundless heaven as much as possible.

This is also the reason why the gods turned into saints and came to the mainland of Mycroft in the previous life.

But in this life, as a legendary powerhouse, Joshua knew a lot of incomparably secret information, so another possibility emerged in his mind.

"Callis, can you share with me the 'voice' you heard here, in the void?"

On the outer layer of the world barrier in Mycroft's world, silver steel rays of light flowed all over his body. Joshua held the light that seemed to want to fly around in his arms with one hand, and said seriously to the steel python at the other end of time and space: " As clearly as possible, I also began to perceive at the same time."

"Can."

Calliss didn't know Joshua's plan, but it believed in the warrior. After a brief answer, it used Xiaoguang as an intermediary to share the 'voice' it heard with Joshua.

And the moment Joshua sensed the message from Karlis, he confirmed the truth behind the matter.

That is not a real 'voice', but a stream of information that spreads toward the far reaches of the multiverse with the extremely micro-blog steel power as the carrier. It is like an electric wave, drifting in the vast void, if it is not for the will of the world , or a legendary powerhouse like Joshua who cultivates the power of steel, no one can notice this almost non-existent information flow, but if they can notice, they can clearly hear the endless resentment, despair, A cry of pain and sorrow.

That was the voice of Mycroft's world.

It was the voice of 'World Will', 'Steel Python Mycroft'.

——The will of the world sealed by the gods and sages of the Era of Glory... has actually recovered to the point where it can transmit information!

The mother of all things, sealed by her own child, has been silent for thousands of years in the deep center of the world, but now she is crying out on the verge of death. This wailing sound makes Karlis, who is also the will of the world, feel empathy, as if It was like it was when it was invaded by the evil god.

——It did suffer pain comparable to death.

So, if this is the case, it can indeed be explained. For Karlis, the will of the world is the world itself, and the steel python is equivalent to the world... In the multiverse, this cognition is correct most of the time. But it doesn't work in Mycroft world.

The gods sealed the steel python, and the sages cut off the connection between the world and the will of the world. Since the end of the Glorious Era, the two have been completely separated.

The moment Joshua understood the truth, he wanted to return to the Mycroft Continent immediately. He felt that he had to inform other legendary powerhouses to strengthen the world seal deep in the ground again, but the moment he remembered it, he suddenly Turning his head to look at the boundless heaven beyond time and space.

Under the thrust of the light of the magic tide, the huge void plane is slowly merging with the world of Mycroft. Around the world barrier where the two touch, you can see more than a dozen different colors of divine power. This is the starfall era. The means used by the gods to maintain the stable fusion of the two. When the great demon tide appeared, the gods were silent. Even the dragon disaster did not perform too many miracles to interfere in the world. Of course, there are "mortal disputes to be resolved by mortals." 'The idea is also because most of the power must maintain the stability of the world integration.

"Joshua, this is the 'voice' I heard."

In the spirit, Karlis didn't care about Joshua's distraction, it replied seriously, and the soldier nodded and said: "I see."

Joshua communicated with Karlis absent-mindedly, while his eyes were fixed on the merging boundless heaven—in the eyes of ordinary strong men who can enter and leave the void, this scene can be said to be very spectacular, even warriors have to He confessed that he had never seen such a grand scene. But under the condition of prejudice, the more Joshua watched, the more he felt that the scene of the fusion of these two worlds was really familiar.

To use a common saying as a metaphor, it seems like 'nailing'. Boundless Heaven is a nail, and the world of Mycroft is a nailed wall. A pair of invisible hands, with the help of the power of the Great Demon Tide, nailed this mysterious plane of Boundless Heaven, which has existed for many years in the Era of Glory, into the wall of Mycroft. Husband world...

Then, a complete suppression, or even annihilation of a certain existence.

"Could it be that……"

Shocked by his own guess, Joshua couldn't help murmuring in a low voice: "No matter whether the world rekindles flames or not, 'it' will become the most unstable factor when the great tide of demons comes and shakes the world... Therefore, the gods came down to the mortal world and turned into saints to walk the world."

——The gods took the initiative to descend... to suppress the will of the world in the world of Mycroft.

Joshua felt that it was very possible.

In the previous life, after the arrival of the gods of the boundless heaven, there was no movement except after enriching the inheritance of the temples of the great churches. Just like when they were still in the boundless heaven, they hardly interfered with any mundane events, even It was the last invasion of the abyss, and the gods stepped forward to fight countless ancient evils, void behemoths and abyss lords, and it seemed that they were forced to take action, as if they had no choice.

This is very weird and unnatural. Players in the previous life speculated that it was a restriction made by the operation to prevent the god-level combat power from descending on the mortal world too quickly, but now it seems that the gods descending to the world itself has a major task , They simply have no time and energy to care about other things!

——If the steel python Mycroft, an existence that is extremely hostile to civilization, gets out of trouble, then with its power, even if it cannot directly destroy the ecological circle, it can subtly replace the world environment, making the world unsuitable for breastfeeding Animals survive, and it can even cause accidents and stumbles when civilization and the abyss are at war... If this world, which has been sealed for thousands of years, will go crazy after breaking free, and insist on perishing with the Mycroft civilization, then no one can do anything .

So the gods must come down to strengthen the seal... Before this thing is done, they will not pay attention to other matters. This can also explain why the world of Mycroft in the previous life was in chaos, and the Church of the Seven Gods did not No substantive coordination measures were taken. It was not until after the abyss invaded that one or two hasty oracles came down to unite the living forces in the world.

Joshua deduced the truth, but he didn't know how to tell the anxious Karlis... After all, the other party is also the will of the world. Compared with the civilization that is more like a child, the Steel Python is the same kind. If the other party knows After the situation of Steel Python Mycroft, Joshua didn't know how to save him if he wanted to save him. After all, he didn't know what happened at the end of the Era of Glory, so that he could fight against the abyss and evil gods together. Civilizations turned against each other.

After all, Karlis also kindly came to remind him that Joshua couldn't get over this matter.

And just when the soldiers were distressed by this, a ray of light seemed to have spotted the figure of Joshua who was observing them in the distant boundless heaven, so a stream of dark purple light passed through the void in an instant and descended on the In front of Joshua.

"Joshua van Radcliffe, successor to the sage, the one who rekindled the fire, we meet for the first time."

An ethereal, thin female voice seemed to have a double response in the soldier's ears. Several means of communication, such as the vibration of the eardrum, spiritual communication, and information flow, received the information at the same time. Joshua raised his head and looked at the place located between Between the bright light of purple and blue, the stalwart symbol is gradually condensing.

It was a withered heart, and the majestic divine power was condensed in this symbol.

"First meeting, master of love and decay."

Joshua stared at the withered heart that was gradually condensing. He nodded earnestly, expressing his respect and respect for the other party. Although he had never communicated with him before, the warrior who had a close relationship with the Seven Sacred Mountains naturally knew the identity of the owner of this symbol. .

"Your Majesty Yolanda."①

And following Joshua's words, a slender elf female body condensed out of thin air in the void.

In the slow pulsation of the withered heart, everything was soaked by the surging divine power, and the surging energy of the Great Demonic Tide acted as if it possessed its own will, causing everything in the void to naturally gather together, forming a half. The image of a transparent elf woman.

This elf woman held an oak scepter and was wearing a complicated and thick purple-blue robe that looked like violet petals. Joshua couldn't see her face clearly. , with a small face, she seems to be extremely beautiful, but she seems to be just a pale skeleton, with pure white energy forming a ribbon like a wing, slowly flapping behind the opponent.

Paying homage to Joshua, the God of Love and Decline also nodded slightly in response, her voice was ethereal and emotionless, as if she had burned all enthusiasm: "I have noticed your unexpected actions, Joshua , the gods are watching you."

"Did you observe the fusion process of Boundless Heaven and Mycroft's world out of curiosity, or because you guessed something?"

The real name of the God of Love and Decay, Yue'ai, can be Durandal, transliterated as Youlandal, but the connotation of the god's name is more important than the sound, so it is named that way.

I went home too late yesterday, I didn't get home until eleven o'clock in the evening...Anyway, ask for a monthly ticket ()
