Soul of Burning Steel

The news of Joshua's awakening quickly reached the ears of the instructor at the joint research center of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrificial Ground, who had been using magic to observe them, along with the cheers of the students.

And the tutors who were pleasantly surprised immediately spread the news to the entire research center—even though Joshua himself didn't know it, in fact, the Moldavian Lord's Mansion was one of the important investors of the research center. In fact, he was the bread and butter of all the researchers present, and was known for his generosity.

The Joint Research Center of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrificial Field, the main part is jointly established by the current first-class forces in the three continents of the Northern Empire, the White Tower of Guantian and the Church of the Seven Gods. Other countries and independent forces have joined in. Currently, only the business alliance in the far south is temporarily They have not yet joined the investigation of the ancient ruins, but they have provided almost all the food supplies in the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrificial Site. This is mainly because they do not have the corresponding technical reserves and can only join with financial resources.

All in all, the senior management of the research center can directly contact the leaders of the major forces. Therefore, in the tenth minute after Joshua woke up and contacted the students of Winter Castle, Nostradam, who rushed directly from the Void Stargazer, Marth had already arrived at the center of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Field.

At this time, Joshua did not affect the sightseeing of the Winter Castle students - if you want to communicate, after the tour is over, there is plenty of time to communicate when we return to Moldavia together - now, he is riding with Hotaru and Rin Hei was walking among the buildings in the eastern part of the sacrificial field. The warrior put away the body of the unknown mechanic, preparing to wake it up when the time came.

After the old mage arrived, the two sides who were too familiar immediately exchanged short and meaningless greetings, and the old mage who couldn't bear it took the lead in pouring out bitterness.

"Do you know how many troubles have happened when you go out?!"

The legendary mage of the time and space department, the emperor's teacher, and the president of Winterhold College, and the president of the Royal Mages Association, and the general manager of the East Bant Plateau Industrial Base, and the chief engineer of the construction project of the Panbei Continent College, etc.—— Perhaps Nostradamus, the busy man second only to the old pope in the entire Mycroft world, didn't even have much time to complain. After a brief complaint, he directly left Joshua with a thick stack of various The report, and then a teleportation disappeared—he would have to meet with the envoys of the dwarves later on to discuss joint technical issues related to the extraction of geothermal energy, so he didn't have time to chat with the soldiers.

"Master, the plaque on Master's chest is so big."

"Well, there are a lot of dense words."

"...his title is almost as long as mine."

The three masters and servants plus a dragon stared blankly at the place where Nostradamus disappeared. There was still a trace of faint blue magic light, but soon, this light disappeared, and Joshua was also there. At the same time, he raised the report in his hand.

【Research and Analysis on the Remnant Living Body of the Insect Demon Maharaja - The Fourth Experimental Report】

[Analysis of the benefits and impact of the full-view surveillance network on the lives of nobles and ordinary people]

[Her Excellency Faina, the sage of the East China Sea, delivered an important speech in Hailong City: Four different forms of psionic energy and transformation methods]

[A large number of wild warlocks have awakened, and the number of awakened people in the empire currently exceeds 200, which is suspected to be a phenomenon of collective blood atavism]

[Galan Nord, the natural tutor, brought a giant creature suspected of being a void behemoth back to the Lake of Eternity, causing the elves to panic]

Just after turning over the first few pages, Joshua's relaxed expression turned serious, because he found that during the few months he was away, the legendary powerhouses in the world of Mycroft were not idle. Come down...there will be a few reports later, including Pope Igor's reply to him about soul research and inviting him to meet, the preparatory documents for the experimental exploration of the Ministry of External Exploration, and the joint investigation of the void by the three major forces. Report on Deep Space Observations.

"Physical research on the lord of insect demons? Will there be results so soon?"

Joshua still remembered that when he went to the world of Siberia, Barnir and William hadn't analyzed the physical composition of this legendary demon, but after he read the entire report, the warrior realized that these two legendary mages were indeed I didn't figure out how the demon lords allowed their flesh and blood to rapidly change into those of other creatures, but they developed a special magic material based on the characteristics of the opponent's surface gelatin.

This material called 'memory polymer' has high strength, high elasticity, high deformability, shape memory, corrosion resistance and friction resistance, and it even has a considerable degree of resistance to magic. This material can be widely used in various aspects, and the armor inner armor made of it has amazing flexibility, but Barnier believes that this material can be used to explore other worlds, and the aliens that have troubled the Northern Empire Research Institute for a long time World exploration suits can be made of this material, and because they have a certain memory ability, the damaged parts of the clothes made of it can even heal themselves.

"It would be great if there were more legendary creatures to dissect."

This was William's emotion at the time: "Materials can definitely advance by leaps and bounds."

"I can even use this thing to create an ultimate construct that can deform and heal at will! It's just a little afraid of fire, but I can add a fire resistance rune to it."

This was Barnier's emotion at the time: "Let's call it T-001. After careful calculation, my self-created puppet type has actually reached the number T."

——They should be interested in the soul puppet technology in the world of Siberia.

Joshua nodded slightly, and then looked at the next report, which discussed in detail how Israel's monitoring of the entire empire had affected the lives of civilians and nobles. The report was very detailed, and most of the The common people said that they didn't feel any abnormality except that their daily burdens were much easier, and many nobles were much more honest, only a small number of past country bullies and villainous nobles were caught by the emperor because of habit or luck. Sentenced or outright executed.

"It's still within the normal range... I'm still restless during this sensitive period, I can only say that my brain is not good."

Joshua's complexion was a bit complicated, because the absolute dictatorship of Fartlorvi in ​​the Siberian world was too bad, so it always made the soldiers feel a little bit bad, but Joshua also knew that, first of all, Israel did It is not an absolute dictatorship, not to mention himself and Nostradamus, the two legendary powerhouses, a group of ministers and staff can give him advice, and he will always send his avatar to the Palace of Morlaix for court Meeting, in a sense, Israel just guaranteed the 'absolute justice of the law', no criminal action can escape his eyes, and no one can escape trial.

He's decidedly different from Fatlowervi, so don't worry too much. But Joshua still decided to write a letter later, or meet Israel in person, and tell him about the actions of another absolute dictator, so that he can clearly understand how much responsibility he is in. , if it gets out of control, what kind of consequences will it cause.

Then, wild warlocks—that is, the so-called superpowers, the number of Awakened Steel Authority is too small, and it cannot constitute social changes at present, so it can be ignored for the time being.

As for the actions of the sages of the East China Sea and the elf mentors... they are quite normal. Faina traveled to the world of stars in the form of a soul earlier, and she must have experienced the different psychic powers of the Zhongting people and the Xishan psykers.

It's just that the creature Joshua, who is suspected to be a giant void beast, looks familiar. It seems to be an invader from the last Legendary Void War? Speaking of which, the teacher of nature did not seem to be fighting at that time. Could it be possible that there really are friendly super life forms from other worlds?

These are all minor details. What Joshua is most concerned about now is the remaining two reports.

"The Pope has something to do with me? Isn't this the day I just set off and left the world of Mycroft? After so long, things must have been delayed, and I don't know if there will be any future troubles."

Joshua was also quite helpless about this. After all, it was an emergency. How did he know that when he went out, others would find trouble with him? Having said that, it was the other party who used the giant ship of the holy mountain to bring him back to the world of Mycroft from the void. I really have to thank him for this. Joshua plans to visit the giant ship of the holy mountain sometime other side.

And the last report was what Joshua cared most about.

"Deep space observation?"

The soldier passed the other reports in his hand to Hotaru and Rin, and the two little guys began to read with relish, while Joshua himself browsed the reports in his hand with great interest.

According to the report, at the beginning, the research teams of Guantian White Tower and the Church of the Seven Gods planned to jointly conduct a detailed observation of the void in the adjacent space-time boundary, but after the Northern Empire joined, the plan changed. The forces join forces and prepare to look into the depths of the multiverse together.

"Although, because of the database of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice, we have built a part of the multiverse model a thousand years ago, but that is already more than a thousand years ago. The evil gods invaded, many worlds were destroyed, and the big devil The push of the tides and the fact that we were once descending into the abyss have changed the situation so much that observation of the deep space of the multiverse is absolutely necessary in order to establish our exact base point in the void around us today."

The leader of the White Tower of Guantian, Barbarossa wrote in the report: "If we want to ensure the survival and development of our civilization in the great tide, we must understand whether the space-time boundary we are in is located in the multiverse. Where, and the surrounding environment, what is the general environment in the distance, this is absolutely necessary.”

"It's not bad at all."

Joshua nodded approvingly, that is indeed the case.

A single world is vast and boundless, with one or even several ecological cycles inside, and the largest world can even be compared to the universe, but this does not mean that the environment outside the world is not important, just like Xibo, who is located in the center of the void maelstrom. In the elegant world, its unique position has created the ups and downs of the other party's fate, and the civilization in it has been greatly affected.

This is to pave the way for the development plan in the next decade or even decades.

Moreover, this kind of large-scale observation can distinguish the living world from the inanimate world. As long as the world around the Mycroft world is roughly screened, it will be much more convenient for both colonization and exploration... Joshua sees At the end of the report, he couldn't help opening his eyes slightly.

Because the observation start time written above is exactly today!

At the same time, the boundary of the space-time realm of Mycroft.

Countless turbulent flows of time and space that cannot be described in words meander in the void, forming a distorted vision like boiling water. The energy wave of the Great Demon Tide White Snake surges in such an environment, and countless dots of world light flicker in the distance .

And in such an environment, a giant mountain-like void warship stayed firmly in place, its whole body was brilliant and shining with a gentle holy light. On the board of this giant ship, there was a huge steel fortress. It is an extremely regular icosahedron, and each side is engraved with the most advanced observation array that can even penetrate time and space.

This is the 'Sacred Mountain Battleship' belonging to the Church of the Seven Gods and the 'Void Star Observatory' belonging to the Empire.

The deep-space observation operation jointly carried out by the three major organizations of the Church, the Empire, and the White Tower has mobilized almost all the means that can be mobilized. It is a special building rooted in the outer membrane of the world. , unable to go to the depths of the void, so it was left in place as the observation base point of the Mycroft world, and the eye of the saint, which was integrated with the holy mountain fortress, will be consulted and united with the star observatory, releasing an unprecedented Super-large-scale observation magic.

This observation of magic, the energy consumption alone exceeds any large-scale all-out war. If it is compared with the real thing, it is equivalent to directly evacuating an overflowing high-level magic crystal vein, and the resonance aftermath can even be transmitted to other people. The world of the space-time boundary has panicked thousands of civilizations that have never stepped into the void.

"Start debugging the observation point."

"Information coordination...perfect resonance."

"Start switching deep space search mode."

"Deploy the auxiliary balance wings and deploy the wide-area observation array."

It can be seen that a lightning-like magic power chain appeared between the Void Observatory and the Holy Mountain Fortress, and directly in front of the two fortresses, a golden dot suddenly appeared in the center of the void, and then, a circle was so vast that even ten The super-giant magic circle, which is hundreds of times the volume of the holy mountain fortress, expanded rapidly like ripples!

In just an instant, the magic circle expanded to the extreme. It was three-dimensional, and its overall structure was extremely complex, like a super giant observation lens. In the center of the magic circle, circles of materialized energy ripples were accumulating.

"Start deep space observation."

Following the order of the organizer, countless golden energy ripples in the center of the magic circle surged out in such a mighty way, sweeping towards the endless void around!

Suddenly, a golden storm appeared in the surrounding void, and in the storm, countless golden light spots flashed and disappeared. Indistinctly, a model of the surrounding void area could be seen taking shape in the center of the magic circle. Every time the golden dot flickers, a floating 'glass ball' will appear in the model, and these glass balls represent countless worlds in the void!

Whether it is the Holy Mountain Fortress or the Void Star Observatory, all relevant researchers held their breath and watched the void model take shape, and in the central command room of the Holy Mountain Fortress, Pope Igor could not help but stare at the light screen in front of him. Synchronously projected void model.

More golden dots flicker under the detection of the energy storm, like fireflies, and every time the golden light flickers, a world model with rough data will be left in the void model class. Soon, with the rapid energy ripple Expanding, large pieces of golden dots like snowflakes are completely spread out in the vast void, and then form a galaxy-like structure!

"Too...too big..."

Seeing this scene, everyone was silent. A mage from the Void Star Observatory could not help but shudder. He looked in awe at the gradually expanding void model in front of him. The real void model shattered his original world view.

"It's too spacious..."

The vast majority of Mrs. Micro, including the spellcasters, feel that the void between the worlds is not wide, but narrow and short. Countless worlds are like glass balls arranged in layers, and there is no gap between them. The voids that are too far away move slowly in their respective positions.

But the real multiverse is different.

The vastness of the void is far greater than the world. If the world is a glass ball the size of a thumb, then the space-time domain centered on it will be as big as a villa with a backyard, and the scattered world will spread like this. In this incomparably vast area, there is a lonely rotation.

First of all, what can be seen is the space-time domain where the Mycroft world is located. This is a vast area with 27 worlds, but most of the worlds are dead and abandoned worlds, and they are also very small, basically no Development value, from a distance, these twenty-seven worlds form a three-dimensional shape similar to a dumpling, and the world of Mycroft is located in the center.

Secondly, it is the void in a larger range. At this time, the Mycroft space-time domain is just a part of a larger world structure, and countless luminous 'groups' form a long light belt, as if it is a cantilevered galaxy generally.

The model is enlarged again, and the entire galaxy can be seen clearly. As expected, it is an extremely huge spinning top-shaped galaxy, and the world of Mycroft is located at the end of this world galaxy. The rules spread, and the structure is like a dead and gloomy world like cotton wool—that is, the abyss. The abyss is like a heap of cotton wool piled up in it, the latest perishing world is at the sharpest upper end, and the long-dead world is pressed at the bottom of the abyss, and no one can know what is there.

But the most shocking thing is not that.

But a strange white darkness.

It sounds difficult to understand - how can there be white in darkness? But in fact, it's clear when you consider the void and the big wave.

If it is said that the void is a black membrane, the Great Demon Tide is a white energy mist lingering on the membrane, the world is a golden light spot floating in the mist, and the abyss is a cotton structure composed of dark red light spots——then, If there is no world and no abyss in a void, isn't it just a white darkness with a white mist and a black background.

The world galaxy, so huge that it is impossible to hold your breath, is divided into two halves by a huge hollow scar without any world in it. At the very center of this scar, there is a magnificent swirl-shaped energy structure. The energy structure is enough to swallow tens of millions of worlds, and it is enough to wipe out most of the things in the multiverse in an instant. Almost any matter that goes deep into this vortex will be ground into the most basic steel mist.

"Not here!"

In the Holy Mountain Fortress, in the main control room, when the old pope saw the huge world hole, he couldn't help showing a thoughtful expression, but soon, he frowned: "The stars have gone out, and the world is in darkness—— That was a recent thing, and this hollow zone was at least created in the last era, when the evil gods were on tour! The time is wrong!"

But it must be nearby. Eagle knew that the things and people he was looking for should be not far from the vortex energy structure in this large void, which is why he presided over this deep space observation reason.

And at this moment, a familiar aura appeared in the teleportation room on the ground floor of the Holy Mountain Fortress—with the perception of the old Pope, he discovered this almost instantly, and then Igor immediately noticed that that After a brief stay, the familiar breath approached this place rapidly, and all the guards and formations on the way let him go all the way without any hindrance.

Eagle knows that there are people who move freely in the holy mountain fortress and ignore the authority of all divine magic formations. They are either by his side now, or they are still on Eta Gray Island in the far sea. The only one who is not among these two kinds of people , there is only one person.

The door of the main control room was wide open, and even if it was suppressed to the extreme, it was unbearably chilling. It was like an icy chill that penetrated the whole body from top to bottom. Suddenly, the main control room Almost everyone in the crowd turned their heads subconsciously and looked towards the gate, and Igor was no exception, he looked in that direction intently.

"I was supposed to go to the Void Star Observatory...but I thought I would like to thank you on the way, so I came here."

Joshua Van Radcliffe, the legendary powerhouse who was supposed to be transformed into a giant silver cocoon and sleep in the center of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice, walked into the most secret main control room of the Holy Mountain Fortress naturally, but no one Expressing surprise at this, he looked at the old Pope, looked at the smiling person, and nodded. Then, without saying a word, they turned their heads together and looked at the model of the void world in the light curtain.

Immediately, the soldier cocked his eyebrows slightly, and said in surprise: "Void whirlpool?" He said softly, "You guys also discovered this."

"You know where it is?"

Pope Eagle showed a shocked expression: "Have you been there?"

"Just came back." Joshua nodded, rubbing his chin, recalling his previous experience, and replied modestly: "It's still... relatively familiar."

6000 words

Ask for a monthly pass at the end of the month.

The words of the old pope are the foreshadowing of the seventh chapter of the previous volume.
