Soul of Burning Steel

Without any hesitation, he started immediately, following the turbulent energy river formed by the great demon tide, Joshua approached the center of the void vortex little by little.

The silver vortex is majestic and majestic. The tributaries from countless directions in the void gather energy for it. The vortex rotates and the turbulent flow of time and space trembles. It is difficult to escape the capture of the vortex, and then fall into this huge energy trap.

But Joshua is different. His body is too small, but its density is far superior to all living things in the world. Even the frenzy that can shake giant beasts is just a breeze to him, and the warrior walks freely in the chaotic energy flow as usual, As if he was walking safely in his own living room, countless steel particles undulated by his side, like fish in the deep sea.

"...Compared to last time, you have become stronger again."

In his mind, Karliss said softly: "Even the whole world may not be able to resist the suction of this vortex."

"..."

Joshua didn't answer, he walked silently, but even so, when Joshua passed through the thirty-three spiral arms and was about to approach the core of the vortex, he still felt a little bit of difficulty, which was because of the huge size of the vortex. The energy density has already distorted all means of perception—the light is distorted, the time and space are disordered, and the direction is confused. Joshua can't even judge the coordinates of the vortex eyes that are close at hand. He can only adjust his own perception and control. Track, don't let yourself get lost in it.

But at this moment, a faint but extremely clear mental fluctuation came.

"here."

This fluctuation is like a candle in the wind, but it can easily penetrate the violent energy vortex and reach Joshua's mind. It contains a set of constantly changing space-time coordinates, which makes the soldiers understand instantly that it is the vortex The location of the vortex.

"Interesting, it's nearby."

Without doubting the authenticity of the coordinates, Joshua could judge that the data was reasonable, so he paused on the spot for a while—the next moment, violent red flames erupted from the soldier's back and legs, and the furnace's fire belt The incoming energy burst rapidly propelled Joshua forward, like the most violent meteorite and rocket. During the rapid advancement, he seemed to feel that he had hit some extremely solid energy barrier, but this barrier faced the incarnation of the power of steel. It was so fragile that it was defeated in an instant and shattered into thousands of pieces.

Boom.

In an instant, everything suddenly became clear.

Whether it was the berserk energy, the gravitational force that made it impossible for the giant void beasts to break free, or the river of demon tides that could push the world forward, all of them disappeared at this moment, as if they didn't exist at all. Joshua stopped. Pushing himself forward, he extinguished the flames, looked up and looked around with Karlis—the calm void that cannot be described in color is like a piece of paper without any wrinkles, and the chaotic time and space turbulence of the outside world does not exist here at all, and just In the center of this vortex, there is a huge world that is slowly rotating, and the shell of the world barrier emits bright light, illuminating everything around it.

Joshua nodded slightly. He has entered the eye of the vortex.

"This is the only world in the entire whirlpool eye?"

At this time, in the soldier's mind, Karlis said in surprise: "I thought there would be at least several world groups forming a vortex calm zone...but there is only one?"

"In this way, isn't it the same as 'famine'..."

The tone of the steel python at this time carried a trace of cautious vigilance. As a world invaded by famine, Karlis naturally knew the reason why the evil god took shape: because it was located in the cavity area in the void, there were no adjacent worlds around it. , the civilization unable to explore the outside world has exhausted all the resources of the mother world, even the soil and rocks. In the hopeless nothingness, the crystal insects finally devoured their own civilization and world, and turned into evil gods wandering in chaos [Famine] 】.

But now, the world in front of him is completely separated from other worlds - the closest world is still tens of millions of reference coordinates away from Joshua's memory, and even if it is close, what's the use? No civilization can communicate with the outside world without passing through the violent energy flow of the maelstrom...they are absolutely alone.

"But at least it's not yet."

Joshua nodded, expressing that he understood Karlis's concerns. Afterwards, the warrior flew towards the only world at the eye of the vortex in the void. His speed was so fast that he came to this world almost instantly. On the outer layer, the light released by the world barrier shone on Joshua, and it seemed that he sensed the arrival of a distant visitor. A huge will slowly awakened from the surface of the world. It extended its own spirit, ready to connect with the warrior.

Joshua stretched out his hand and took the initiative to connect with the other party.

Then, he heard a weak, but extremely calm voice.

"Hello, descendants from outside, and my compatriots."

This sound shakes the spirit, it is not any language, but it can be understood by any life, it goes straight to the bottom of the mind, and then automatically becomes the language and symbols that the other party can understand - Joshua is very familiar with this, this is not the communication of mortals The way, but the steel python, that is, the language between the worlds.

Undoubtedly, this is the will of the world, to which Calliss speaks, for help. Originally, Joshua was still thinking about how the world located in the center of the great vortex of void had the opportunity to call for help, but the voice that could be heard clearly even in the great vortex just now proved that the will of the world in front of him may have the power to send messages through the energy tide. Strange ability.

"You guys came so fast."

The tone of the will of this world is still calm: "It's much faster than I thought."

The time concept of the will of the world is very different from that of ordinary people. For Joshua, a few months is not fast, but for the will of the world, which is millions, tens, or even hundreds of millions of years old For me, this may really be just a moment, but Joshua is not the character who would use this kind of topic to greet, he asked directly: "I have received your commission - you said you need a little Help, to get out of this mess, but to be honest."

Joshua paused for a moment. He looked around the peaceful void, the scattered steel particles, and the whirlpool energy tide that was spinning rapidly at the edge of the void, as if it could grind everything. The soldier shook his head: "I think this situation Not too small."

What Joshua said was the truth. Before he came, he thought it was some kind of chaos invasion event, just like in the world of Ilgna, where the evil god ten disasters descended incarnate and his family to destroy civilization. He only needed to take those things Just clean it up, and collect some information about evil gods along the way... But in the end, he came to a strange world in a void vortex. Xiuya thinks that he still doesn't have the ability to bring a world out of this vortex, even God can't do it.

"The surrounding environment? No, I am very satisfied."

The spirit of the unknown steel python fluctuated slightly for a moment. It understood Joshua's thoughts. Regarding this, it shook its head and continued to say in a light tone: "I think this environment is very good. There are no foreign enemies and no communication. , even the destroyers in the multiverse are unwilling to get close, this place is very quiet and safe, I like it very much."

"My name is Siberia. The descendant who came from afar, I call for help, not to move my position, but for other things."

The will of the world, Siberia, revealed his name—this is generally the name given by the first civilization in the world to the world he lives in, and the steel python readily accepted it. It was about to directly state its purpose like Joshua, but it found that the warrior seemed to be distracted at this time.

Joshua was indeed distracted. In fact, he even turned his head and looked towards the direction he came from, which was the direction of the void vortex. The warrior's eyes were like molten silver metal, flashing with incomparably intense light. Joshua looked directly at the outer layer of the void, his eyes penetrated the chaotic energy turbulence of the great whirlpool, and reached the edge of the whirlpool.

"What are you looking at, Joshua? Siberia is talking to you."

Karlis asked rather puzzled, it knew that Joshua was not the kind of person who would deliberately neglect others, he would even chat with beggars in the city, send him to the military camp for training, and then let him find a job, But the fact is that the warrior ignores the words of the will of a world and looks instead at the void vortex, which is almost empty of nothing but energy.

But Joshua didn't have time to answer it at this time, his brows were tightly frowned, almost erected, the warrior's eyes swept over the edge of the vortex in the distance, and Karlis also saw what Joshua saw through the shared vision ——It was a large black mist that was slowly floating. These mist seemed to be the supernatural energy washed by the great demon tide, and they were slowly approaching the void maelstrom.

"what is that?"

The steel python asked suspiciously, it had never seen this kind of strange black mist, even if it was washed away by the energy of the great demon tide, it was not scattered in the slightest.

"... black mist."

Joshua replied in a low voice, his tone was serious: "It's the black mist of Sanctuary World."

How are they here?

Joshua still hasn't forgotten the fight against the black mist in the Kronos world. It was not a difficult but extremely tense battle. Facing the micro-nano-level mist rune construct that can erode everything, it was several times. It was only with the cooperation of two legendary powerhouses that they quickly destroyed it, preventing it from causing more damage. Although Joshua knew that the mother body of the black mist was located in the Alpha Sanctuary world of the former sanctuary civilization, and what he destroyed was only a high-level daughter body, he did not expect that he would suddenly encounter the black mist again in this place.

Without continuing to speak, Joshua looked at the black mist at the edge of the maelstrom. At first, he wondered what the mist was trying to do, but now he understood—these mist was looking for food, or in other words, transporting.

Following the black mist at the beginning is another large group of black mist, densely packed, like a black river, the black mist comes from the other side of the void to the periphery of the maelstrom, they are like hardworking worker ants, close to The rapidly rotating spiral arms of the great vortex absorb the majestic energy and countless steel particles whose density is much higher than other places.

It can be seen that the black mist that was originally pitch black, like a black hole that does not reflect any light, began to turn white and brighten little by little, until it finally became a bright gray cloud, drinking the high-density magic tide energy. The black mist returns at a slow speed. It slowly passes through the void, giving up its position to the next cloud of black mist, and this behavior happens everywhere in the void on this side: this large group of black mist The fog seems to be an efficient energy harvesting machine, they reserve a large amount of energy with their own special structure and return the steel particles, like living energy packs.

The speed of the black mist foraging and transporting is very fast. In less than five minutes, this large group of black mist is fully loaded and starts to return. This series of movements is so smooth that no black mist is attracted by the maelstrom and falls into Energy trap, this is enough to see that the other party already has a complete set of transportation procedures, and has experienced millions of times of practice.

- The world of Alpha Shelter is around the corner!

Without any guesswork, Joshua can be sure of this without a doubt. He has fought against the black mist and knows the advantages and disadvantages of this strange micro-swarm rune structure. In short, it is the supercharged energy reserve of the black mist. The state will lead to its own extreme fragility. Any giant void beast can easily eat them in this state as a big gift bag, and this state consumes a lot of energy. If the coordinates of the shelter world are extremely far away, then This method of absorbing energy is simply extremely stupid, and it is completely worth the loss.

There is only one possibility, that is, the matrix they need for energy supply is nearby!

Although it is just a guess, Joshua thinks it is very possible. He has memorized the coordinates of the direction the black mist came from. He thinks that as long as he walks in that direction, there is a high chance that he will find the sanctuary civilization. The lost world of Alpha.

But at this time, the soldier also knew that he was probably a little rude, so Joshua turned around with apologies. He was about to apologize to the steel python Siberia—but he felt the other party's completely indifferent feelings.

That's right, for a world will, a few minutes for a mortal may not be enough for them to breathe an energy cycle. Joshua's distraction, to the other party, is at most a short moment of daze.

"What is it that needs the assistance of us outsiders?"

After coughing, Joshua turned the topic back to the main topic again. He was still thinking about the black mist in his heart. The warrior planned to find the matrix of the black mist after solving the problems of this world, and then called the world of Mycroft All the legendary powerhouses he knew in the past destroyed each other—if necessary, God can also.

Joshua is not the kind of guy who has to solve everything by himself. When facing someone worthy of joining forces, he will naturally call him Comrade Qi.

And then, Siberiana was extremely calm, as if there was no emotional fluctuation, the voice came again: "My body."

It said softly, and the voice echoed in Joshua's mind. The steel python's tone at this time finally took on a trace of undetectable emotion, and it said helplessly: "The descendant, I Lost touch with my body."

"Since thousands of years ago, I have been unable to perceive my body, the news of this world... My connection with it has been cut off by a force, my will cannot enter it, and I can only wander outside."

At this time, strands of invisible energy condensed outside the world, and a gigantic phantom of the steel python appeared in the void outside the world, and the homeless will of the world spoke with an almost bitter smile Said: "I don't know what's going on, I was kicked out of myself, this is really ridiculous and helpless... So, descendant, please help me if you can."

"Help me get out into this world and get my body back."
