Soul of Burning Steel

In the world of Mycroft, directly above the Xishan Mountains, on the side of the Boundless Heaven.

Starfall May 6, 839, 9:19 AM.

Behind an inconspicuous, almost nonexistent half-plane portal, there are more than three hundred mages who have passed more than a dozen physical examinations and soul screenings before coming to their jobs.

Some of these mages come from the Far South Kingdom, some come from the great royal courts of the Western Mountains, and some are clergyman alchemists under the Seven Sacred Mountains, and there are quite a few mages in the Northern Empire and the Eastern Plains, even occupying Three-fifths of the amount.

Every mage has the lowest level of silver and the highest level of ultimate strength. They can be said to be the most high-end academic elites in the entire Mycroft world. Each of them has published a book whose influence has reached "world level". Each of them has had a slight or profound impact on the magic system in the world of Mycroft—in other words, if these three hundred elite mages are all wiped out, then the academic level of magic in the world of Mycroft will be greatly reduced. will go back a hundred and fifty years.

However, now, the future pillars and heads of the Mycroft magic world are doing the simplest work of 'carrying'.

And the object they transported was the core data center of the glorious civilization passed down a thousand years ago, a large library of all types, the 'unified large information base'.

【Welcome to Guangyao United Central Information Base】

[Please keep quiet while retrieving information]

Two lines of somewhat mottled characters are engraved on the top of the lobby of the large information base. The information center that was open to all races in the world is now decayed. It is still intact, but the lack of repairs for a thousand years has put the entire information base in jeopardy. In order to ensure the safety of the data, the major forces in the Starfall Era decided to transfer all the precious knowledge in it to a safe area as much as possible.

And the executors are the mages with the most professional knowledge, and... the artificial intelligence that was born for this.

No. 3 was floating on the crystal floor of a spacious hall of nearly one square kilometer. Under her feet, behind the seemingly fragile anti-magic crystal floor that could resist the direct attack of gold-level spells, there were 20,000 people evenly arranged. 2,500 black cylindrical information storage units.

The top of each storage is composed of pure energy to form a number number, from the initial 1 to 22500, and there are all kinds of strange information floating in each symbol, only need to use magic power or fighting spirit, or any kind of extraordinary If you communicate with your strength, you can clearly obtain a catalog and brief introduction of all the data in this information storage.

Here is the No. 447 information hall of the unified large information database, and it is also the place where No. 3 works these days.

Each cylinder storage contains almost endless text, pictures and video materials, among which are stored various information such as customs, culture and art, mathematical geometry, philosophical speculation, extraordinary practice and war skills according to categories Information, the history of ordinary medieval civilization, technology, and all philosophies, arts, and social formations, even if it is turned into a video, can't add up to fill half of a memory, and each information hall has 22,500 There are a total of 551 numbered information halls in the hundred-root storage.

"From the 417th, the information stored in the information hall has nothing to do with the Mycroft Continent and various extraordinary cultivation methods. It is basically the data reserves of other worlds and even other civilizations."

Floating alone in the center of the information hall, No. 3 opened her hands casually, and the wings behind the girl turned into countless wings and scattered, and each wing was composed of the purest optical flow of data. In an instant, artificial The smart girl seemed to be an angel of the sky, filling the entire hall with violet wings, and in the next moment, all the wings turned into strips of light, connecting 22,500 storage devices at the same time.

There is a faint light flashing in the light band, which is the phenomenon of energy fluctuation caused by the transmission of a large amount of data. No. 3, who has long been accustomed to this job, has not started large-scale processing. All the data is perfectly compressed and packaged, uploaded to the magic net for caching, and then downloaded in a unified manner by the three new information databases located in the Borderless Heaven, the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrificial Field and the Sanshan Holy City.

If it is an ordinary human being, when carrying a huge amount of data transmission comparable to all the information of several civilizations, the brain may be overwhelmed and explode directly. Even if you are lucky and do not die on the spot, it is normal for your self-will to be washed clean. Elite mages who have practiced to the extraordinary must make comprehensive precautions when processing this information to ensure that they will not be overwhelmed by these precious knowledge.

Only No. 3, and several high-ranking mages Tata Ling who clearly awakened their will, and only their pure artificial souls, living bodies that have already assimilated with data, can ignore the impact of a large amount of external information and carry out rapid and accurate information. transfer.

"If Joshua hadn't asked me to help, I wouldn't have come here. Every day is boring input and output data..."

In addition to transmitting data, No. 3 still had the energy to complain. She floated in the air, curled up with her knees in her arms, and rolled about indignantly: "I heard that he has been in the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrificial Ground recently, and I don't know what to do." Why don't you even come to see me."

Even so, in fact, No. 3 will communicate with Joshua through the information terminal every day, otherwise, there would be no way for them to exchange information about the large information base, so this kind of complaint is just nonsense caused by being too boring gibberish.

Aware of his gaffe, he diverted his attention a little bit, and No. 3 began to pay attention to what kind of content was in the information he was transmitting.

In the work of the last few months, No. 3 has processed information in trillions of trillions, including the evolution calculation of the entire world since the birth of the Mycroft world, the original bloodline information map of the major races, and It has almost complete ancient historical records, and all of this information is detailed, even the minutes of a certain meeting of a certain race on a certain day in a certain year are recorded.

These pure historical records are naturally very boring for No. 3, but in addition, there are countless cultivation methods and evolution processes related to extraordinary cultivation in the large information database. The artificial intelligence girl read it from the beginning with relish , She browsed the history of mankind, from the first single psionic power to the subsequent discovery of magic power, research and development of arcane magic, and then transformed from pure arcane magic to a 'modern magic system' including the six elements and ether.

Compared with the information of extraordinary power, even the detailed history of racial civilization is just a drop in the ocean. If we say that among the total of more than 500 information halls, at most 80 halls store the data of the past, including those of the Sanctuary Alliance. If all the historical information of civilization and the world is included, at least three-quarters of the remaining 400 information halls are related to the research and development of various supernatural forces and the experimental records of special supernatural materials.

Psychic power, arcane numbers, power of nature, elemental magic, vitality, dou qi, ether, holy light... According to the sequence, all kinds of extraordinary powers were discovered by human beings and various races, and then a splendid extraordinary civilization was derived. The foundation of the glorious civilization is built on countless or complex or simple extraordinary power systems, and the large information base can guarantee that no matter how small the inheritance is, it will definitely have a place in the history of civilization. It will never be forgotten, so that the next generation can always stand on the shoulders of the previous generation.

Whether it is complex or simple, wrong or correct, all supernatural powers have been stored here since the discovery of all extraordinary powers until the big information bank was blown away. In the black pillars, there is a nearly eternal inheritance.

Number 3 likes to study this information very much—or in other words, she likes to study this information to gain knowledge that is beneficial to herself, so as to make herself stronger.

Because if you want to stand by that person's side, it's absolutely not enough just to have the strength you can't get up and down now.

She knows that she is not Hotaru and Rin, not Black and Light, she does not need to call Joshua 'Master' and 'Papa', but can call each other by their first names... This is the biggest difference between her and others, and it is also what she needs. The reason for working hard... Only if you are strong enough can you have the confidence and right to stand by the opponent's side.

"Hey, is it gone? The next thing is... information about the war and the enemy?!"

However, when No. 3 read with relish the related papers titled "Seven-Level Intelligent Logic," "Synthetic Soul-Dawn of Artificial Life," and "Evolution of Artificial Intelligence," she suddenly discovered that in No. 1146 After the storage, what is stored is no longer various advanced academic theories and technical papers, but all kinds of scattered but extremely important information that is completely different from before.

It was about war, about 'Abyss', 'Chaos', 'Hostile Civilization', and even 'Evil God'!

Quickly scanning the catalog, No. 3 couldn't help controlling the magic power projection, made a 'take a breath' expression, and then said in a low and serious voice: "The next thing should be to integrate the large information base before the final war knocks it into the air. , all the battle process and information about the enemy left behind?!"

A few seconds later, No. 3, who browsed a lot of information in an instant, found that his guess was not wrong. From the No. 1146 storage, all the storages in the entire No. 447 Information Hall are about the glorious civilization, or in other words, In the entire galaxy of the world, there is information about the abyss, chaos and even various civilizations that are hostile to the Mycroft world!

In the entire multiverse, in addition to the abyss, chaos, and void behemoths that exist as public enemies, there are also the ultimate existences called evil gods and end bodies. There are always some strange civilizations, because of the natural culture, the physiological instinct of the race, and even the overly distorted and alienated desire for survival, which lead them to embark on the path of destroying everything.

They either can't bear the racial cleanliness civilization of other alien races in the multiverse, or they regard all other life, even the abyss and evil gods as food, or they think that all gods who don't believe in them are all They are all fanatical belief civilizations that must kill heresy. The existence of these civilizations is full of strange things, but without exception, they are a great threat. Therefore, the glorious civilization of the past stored them and the ending of their destruction by many civilizations in the information database. Be vigilant Future generations should be in awe and tolerance of the multiverse, and dare to accept differences that are different from themselves.

The reason why No. 3 paid attention to this is because she found an "artificial intelligence civilization" that destroyed the original creator and replaced its civilization. The same kind, that is, various machine intelligences and tower spirits.

As the high-level control, artificial souls control the low-level mechanical bodies without much intelligence. Through continuous self-replication and data analysis, they have mastered all the technologies of the creators, and they have begun to further deduce and improve. They use the resources of the entire mother world They all gathered in one place and built a huge star warship, trying to use it as a springboard to invade other worlds. The huge star warship can distort the void by its mass alone, causing the orbits of the surrounding world to shift and tremble.

It's a pity that the first world they found was the glorious civilization in its heyday. Needless to say, the past and ending of them and their creators have been entered into the information database, which has become an embarrassing and emotional article. data of.

No. 3 silently finished watching the ending of his crazy and emotionless fellows, then sighed, didn't say much, and continued to browse the following materials. Soon, she found what she wanted, and it must be the information Joshua was interested in.

There are materials about chaos and 'evil gods'.

"Really, before the opening of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Field, there were already many traces of chaos forces in the corners of the world's galaxy, but no one paid attention at that time."

After roughly browsing some important investigation reports, as well as the civilization data of the Glory Era on the eve of the final war, No. 3 couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, looking a little sad: "If the Glory Civilization makes preparations in advance, without being immersed in the completion of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Field, I am delighted, but if I am a little vigilant against these omens, then everything may have a different ending."

Perhaps the world of Carliss will not be attacked by the evil god of famine, and then be destroyed. The countless weak civilizations around the world of Mycroft may still have the possibility of existence.

But everything has already happened, and No. 3 will not be immersed in meaningless memories of the 'possible past', so she continues to browse the information.

According to the information recorded in the large information database, on the eve of the final war, the Mykrov civilization in the Glorious Era had nearly a hundred legendary strongmen and similar existences, more than thirty orthodox gods, various pseudo-legendary, sub-gods, and were on the verge of ascending There are countless gods. In that heyday, every city, or even a small town, had a number of superpowers sitting in command. The silver ranks were basically civilians, and the gold ranks were just slightly better grassroots personnel. Grades exist only in compulsory schools for minors.

At that time, because of extraordinary power, only a small number of people needed to work for a few days to obtain the living resources most people needed for a month. The energy that a legendary strong man could obtain by converting void and free in one day was enough to make countless The ten cities have been used for half a year, and the productivity and energy are extremely rich. The strong and ordinary people are extremely harmonious, and the entire society has almost entered a perfect era.

There is no discrimination and hatred between races, and there is no difference between races. Even elves and dwarves can form a family. As long as both parties feel that there is no problem, there will be no deformed children in the whole world, because when they are pregnant, parents can pass All kinds of magic and vitality are fine-tuned to adjust the embryo into the most perfect form.

As far as a single world is concerned, the world of Mycroft has been developed to the limit, and because of the existence of sages, Glorious Civilization did not wantonly colonize the outside world, but carefully selected the world of uninhabited life for pilot investigation - the removal of the Myriad Worlds Sacrifice Field In addition to the personal wishes of the sages, they naturally also took on the heavy responsibility of the civilization of the glorious era of colonialism.

However, what the Myriad Worlds Sacrificial Field connects to is not a Brave New World, but an endless abyss.

And the evil gods naturally followed.

"'Famine', 'Plague', 'Imbalance', 'Aging', 'Extreme Cold', 'Atmospheric', 'Deviation', 'Glade', 'Natural Disasters', 'Pollution'... and 'Richness'."

No. 3 browsed the list of evil gods, and subconsciously made a 'swallow' action. The artificial intelligence girl projected snowflakes on the screen for a moment, and then returned to normal. She was quite shocked and said to herself: "There are so many ? A total of 21 evil gods with names that can be confirmed to have appeared, and several hidden behind the scenes, who did not officially appear until the information base was blown away?!"

The originally extremely mysterious evil god information appeared almost like Chinese cabbage, and some of them were the names of some old acquaintances of Mrs. Micro, and also had names that made everyone feel strange. Regarding this, No. 3 understood why: "Remember Yes, naturally they survived the war, and the forgotten evil god probably no longer exists now."

After all, with the high-end power of the original Mycroft world, it can basically be said that it is the strongest in the galaxy in the surrounding world, and can even compete for the position of the strongest civilization in the multiverse. Even the sanctuary civilization is probably inferior in terms of pure powerhouses First, it can completely fight against several evil gods at the same time, and kill them one by one.

The evil gods known to still be alive are 'famine', 'plague', 'atmosphere', 'natural disasters' and 'decay'. Among them, famine, natural disasters and decay did not directly attack the world of Mycroft, but attacked the world of Carliss respectively In the realm of civilization and sanctuary, Qiqi was cut off part of the body by a saint, and he probably left the battlefield after that. Only the evil god of "plague", after attacking the civilization of the glorious era and facing the saints, still had some The remnant fled, and it is estimated that he is still alive.

Keeping the names of these evil gods and all the materials that can be collected and understood in their hearts, No. 3 plans to send all these materials to Joshua after a while.

However, next, the information No. 3 saw in the information storage made the artificial intelligence lady subconsciously open her eyes wide.

There is another chapter tonight, probably
