Soul of Searing Steel

Chapter 1013: It's called courage and sacrifice

Views:

At the far end of time and space, in the dark vacuum of space, countless battleships of various shapes are moving among the galaxies.

It can be seen that in the torrent of steel that blocks the sky, various colors of flames are spurting out, pushing them forward. Thousands of fleets belonging to different fleets converge into one, like a moving nebula.

And just in front of the battleships of these entities, there are countless extraordinary entities condensed by the power of emotion. Under the control of their masters, they shine with brilliance and fly silently between stars.

Tens of millions, hundreds of millions of soldiers are advancing. Civilizations and races from all over the galaxy and every corner of the world can be seen here. They stare ahead, with fire burning in their eyes, but they are all silent. Language, without saying a word.

And at the top of the fleet, at the front of the emotional fleet, on the bridge of a huge, crimson emotional battleship, an old Tan Yaren like a cicada stared calmly at the vacuum ahead.

The hum caused by the extraordinary power shaking the atmosphere was the only sound that could be heard at this time.

-Quietly, the wheel of emotion turns -

What broke the silence was the roar of the battleship's engine.

—Far away in time and space, in the world of stars, at the second cantilever of the dark galaxy, the vanguard force at the forefront.

"What kind of light is that?"

The leader of the 'Great Counteroffensive', the general marshal of the 'Chi Yong Tian Fleet', Commander Qin Yaren Immortal Kedar, looked at the report in front of him with a solemn expression, and murmured to himself: "The data displayed by the psychic detector is completely It’s chaos—the source of supergravity fluctuations has been detected ahead—don’t be kidding, according to this data, the entire galaxy will fall apart!”

Although he reprimanded, the commander placed the record in his hand flatly on the console with a slight irritation. He subconsciously turned his compound eyes as if he was thinking.

What an incredible power... However, rather than saying that this is a false record presented mechanically and accidentally written with seven or eight zeros, it is better to admit that what it says is the truth.

"What's more, with the power of prediction brought by my immortal power... I am absolutely sure that this is indeed true."

Closing the eyelids of his compound eyes, Kedar fell into silence. He had just relied on his own power to try to sense the origin of the strange light in the center of the dark galaxy in the distance. However, in just an instant, the power he invested was wiped out - it was so fast, He couldn't even be affected or injured.

All of this is true - the entire dark galaxy is falling apart because of the battle of the strong.

Where the light shines, unbelievable power that is unimaginable even for the power of the immortal is spreading everywhere, like the origin of a tsunami, constantly pushing the stars of the entire galaxy outward, causing it to Complete collapse - just the aftermath made the entire star fleet's largest coalition in the history of the star world tremble and hesitate.

"Are we still going forward?"

"Seriously, I can't even find the enemy now."

Kedar could hear the doubtful voices of the coalition soldiers behind him. Their instinct was fear, keeping them away from danger and away from this galaxy that had turned into a battlefield.

"Most of the Evil God's Familia suddenly disappeared just now, and most of the void monsters born due to the plague were killed by us... Is it still necessary to move forward now?"

"Our mission should be completed!"

Kedar listened silently to what these soldiers were saying to themselves. What they said was true - ever since their respectable Iron Skin leader and the God of Flame Hell in the Atrium went to the core of the Dark Galaxy, a large number of the Evil God's Families were like flying. The smoke dissipated, and the speed of the plague's spread was greatly reduced. Now, the only mission of the entire counterattack fleet is to build a star base on the occupied lightsaber node of the river system.

But in the face of a situation where the entire galaxy is about to fall apart, whether or not to build a star base must be discussed separately.

"I think we can retreat, Commander."

Kedar heard a familiar voice using psychic power to communicate to him. It was the voice of his former subordinate in the Fire Fleet and his current adjutant, Faya from the Midgard. He said with some uneasiness: "Since the enemies have been If they are eliminated, then there is no point in us continuing to stay.”

"Retreat to the 'landing point' and wait for the next order - there has been no order from the life preservation procedure since just now, and everyone is a little panicked."

"Yeah."

Standing at the front of his battleship, the cicada-like fleet commander stared ahead at the dark starry sky and the endless stars. He responded calmly: "Indeed, our mission has been completed - we just wiped out dozens of people in the past. The Evil God's Familia, which may not be able to be exterminated in years, has recovered a lot of lost territory and greatly vented the bad energy of being invaded for many years."

"But does it really make sense?!"

The sudden roar caused the originally noisy communication in the rear to be completely silent for an instant. Kedar did not look back. He said in a deep voice: "Our respectable leader, and the god of you Midgard people, are not just in front - there. Fight where the light shines?!"

"We soldiers have worked hard and defeated so many Chaos Familia. Are we here just to complete the 'mission' instead of getting back the tomorrow that was taken away by the evil god?"

Taking a deep breath, Kedar suppressed his sudden surge of anger. He had gone very far in the power of emotion and already felt that the side effects of the Ring of Courage were gradually beginning to appear on him - The most obvious one is the sudden rise of anger.

"...I know it very well, and so do you."

Depressed, but changed back to a calm tone, spreading in the already silent psychic communication channel, Kedar stared into the distance lonely, he whispered: "I'm afraid the battle ahead is no longer 'Immortal' or even 'Infinite Light' 'The following levels can participate. The beings who are fighting our Iron Skin leader and the God of the Midgardians are so powerful that it is unimaginable. Their fierce battle can even shake the foundation of the galaxy."

—But that’s the moment to charge, isn’t it

"You guys leave."

Different voices came from his heart and mouth. The calm old commander suddenly issued a clear retreat instruction: "Indeed, it is meaningless for you to stay here. Leave quickly. Although according to the speed of light, it will take a few more seconds for the shock wave in the distance to It will take thousands of years to reach here, but if there is a super-light jump attack, then we will already be in danger when we see the abnormal brilliance."

"...No, Commander, do you think we are afraid of death?"

The long silence in the communication channel was broken by an angry rhetorical question: "We are just afraid that death is worthless—since you said so, even if there is purgatory ahead, I will lead the team to charge forward!"

"Me too!"

"Who dares to participate in the major counterattack and fight in the front line? Who would be afraid of death?!"

"I have no intention of going back alive, Commander, don't insult our courage!"

At this moment, the communication channel became a million times noisier than before, with countless languages, countless different sounds and frequencies, and even countless kinds of tweets and roars resounding in it - but as the holder of the channel's highest authority, Qin Commander Yaren Kedar turned on the mute, and the entire channel immediately became extremely silent.

"If life is a bargaining chip for fate, then there is no equality in this world."

The old man's faint voice sounded with the cold tone of the translator: "You are right, there is no point in you staying. After all, you are too weak... No, we are too weak, even if we see thousands of The aftermath that is thousands of light years away will make you fearful.”

"As a bargaining chip, our lives are simply insignificant... But no matter whether the chips are big or small, the only thing they have in common is the holder's control over his own chips - which is the determination to die and sacrifice."

"But is it necessary?"

At this point, Kedar's tone paused, as if to leave time for others to think. After a while, he continued slowly: "For us, what is worth dying for, and what we sacrifice for, is not ' Destroy the enemy', but protect your family and your own race, in order to protect the most important thing in you. For this purpose, decisively choose to 'retreat' and avoid meaningless deaths caused by temporary anger. This is the real truth. courage!"

This is indeed very reasonable. Most of the banned counterattack fleet officers were convinced, not to mention that they had originally planned to retreat temporarily to see the situation... Only the people from Zhongting who were most familiar with Kedar, his former adjutant Fa Ya felt something wrong from this tone.

—'Choosing to retreat in order to protect the important people is the true courage.' This sentence is indeed correct... But! Commander Kedar, does he really have anyone important? !

Sure enough, just when Faya was worried, she could see the huge, crimson Star Destroyer at the forefront of the emotional fleet, its engine running at full power, heading towards the ship at the fastest speed with maximum energy. Speeding ahead, moving forward inexorably.

"commander!"

Subconsciously launching his own battleship, Faya wanted to catch up with his old leader, and there were many people who subconsciously made the same move as him - but, for some reason, an inexplicable force interfered with their emotions. The power was so controlled that for a while they were unable to activate their battleships at all, and could only watch the huge Star Destroyer disappear in the aura of transition.

It wasn't until this moment that the man in Zhongting, who was angrily controlling his battleship and punching the console, heard the old man's last message.

"I have nothing left, Falla."

"So, even if it's pity or sympathy, let me, a lonely old man, fight to the end with the courage to sacrifice - and you young people who still have a future."

"Commander!!" After hearing this, Faya gritted his teeth. He suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction where the old man disappeared. He could hear Kedar's almost disappeared psychic message lingering in his ears.

"On my behalf, go and witness with your own eyes the glory of tomorrow."

At this moment, Kedar, who was leaping forward at the fastest speed in his life, thought of many things in his mind.

The people you love, the children you love, the relatives and friends you love, the country and civilization you love.

And, the world I love.

"You mean you have nothing."

The old man led the entire battleship through time and space. He felt that endless power was being poured into this place from afar, burning his life and soul. Sensing this, Kedar seemed to be laughing at himself, but he also smiled calmly: "Don't I still have life?"

[I always strive for a goal.

For myself, for my children, for my civilization and the world.

But is it really necessary? It's just 'for what', so I sacrifice my life as a bargaining chip... When one reason is gone, switching to another one is just like looking for an excuse to die.

You are trying your best to survive, but seeing the future no matter how desperate you are is the greatest courage, isn't it

But... I know, I clearly know that this is the real 'courage'.

But I still have to do it.

Not sacrifice, not determination, not for anyone, not because of any love or hate.

I just want to see the light.]

"Knew it."

Jumping coordinates and rushing through time and space, the old man stared at the endless light rising from the center of the galaxy, which became brighter and more distorted. At this moment, a red ring lit up on Kedar's joints. The brilliance called 'divine power' - treating it as nothing, he smiled and whispered to himself softly.

"Even if it's just a little bit, just a little bit, an insignificant little bit... I also want to go and participate in the battle."

No matter how inconspicuous it is, I want to witness this light that breaks through the darkness among the stars.

—The brilliance of courage shines! —

His name is Kedar, the Ring Bearer of Courage!

At the other end of time and space, where the whirlpool roared, one of the four rings of gods began to light up and began to respond. He detected his apostle, and an individual capable of carrying this emotion had been born in the distant place - so he began roared, setting off a wave of emotional rage.

The bargaining chip of cause and effect has settled down again.

Here, possibilities begin to close—

In the world of stars, in the center of the dark galaxy, the great black hole in the center of the galaxy, where the ultimate superpowers confront each other, the silver and blue space is fighting fiercely with the dark alien space from the other side of the void.

At this moment, all external damage disappeared. The three parties in the battle focused all their energy on each other. In the chaotic space that shrouded the black hole in the center of the Milky Way and mixed with three colors, nothing could be seen. , nothing can be sensed, only extremely bright light distorts time and space, causing everything in the galaxy to fall apart and fragment.

Devouring each other, seizing each other, dominating each other - the constants of the universe have been tampered with, and the speed of light has been manipulated. In this battle, the pros and cons are completely in a stalemate, a perfect balance, no one can overwhelm the other, and the only one who can decide the outcome is Yes, only the 'will' of both sides is equally strong enough to persist until the end of the multiverse.

This battle seems to last forever.

Until a bright red star appeared in this huge battlefield.

It was tumbling like a small sampan in the turbulent waves, swept up by the undulating distorted space, unable to control itself. However, with the burst of divine power, it was finally able to control its own direction with its 'courage' - so, The next moment, he charged without hesitation and plunged into the deep darkness.

Soon, shorter than an instant, more silent than a drop of water blending into the ocean, without even making a single wave, the bright red star was eroded by the dark alien space and turned into nothingness, even if it was The remaining divine power only shone for a moment before being completely swallowed up by the darkness.

Only for a brief moment.

—But a hero! You never care how long you can shine!

At that moment when the darkness melted away the insignificant trace of emotional power for it, the balance was broken. 'Just a little' difference was enough to cause a chain effect like a world shattering!

"It's now!"

He could hear the silver giant phantom emitting a roar that resounded throughout the galaxy. At this moment, he sensed the sudden explosive growth of the divine power from the Rings of the Four Gods in the emotional whirlpool. He did not know that this was a coincidence. Or was it the power that emerged from the 'inevitability of cause and effect'? Joshua clenched his 'illusory' fist without hesitation and blasted hard at the self-centered beast!

[Beyond the Limits: Self-Destruction Limit—Overclocked 400%]

On the other side, the Steel Python Star and the Triple Curtain also charged forward with the warriors, carrying all their strength with a momentum that almost burned them out!

The same goes for the Extreme Sublimation Aggregate. It silently gathers all the remaining power, condenses everything it can control, carries out the final explosion, and pushes forward.

A moment, like an eternity.

Infinite light ignites everything in the observable universe, returning everything to the moment of the Big Bang.
