Intelligent life will always feel fear and sorrow about changes in the things it is most familiar with.
But intelligent life continues to grow and become complete in the process of adapting to changes and causing changes again and again.
As for extraordinary people, their adaptability in this regard can be said to be far superior to ordinary people.
Because they can witness longer years and make greater changes.
They can witness with their own eyes that their hometown has risen from a small village in the mountains to a holy city of great civilization. They can witness with their own eyes that the rivers they are familiar with change their course because their own or other people's power flows in other directions.
There are so many things they can witness, from mountains collapsing into plains, from canyons rising into mountains, they can even witness the extinction and rebirth of the stars and the moon, the destruction and replacement of the sun... The more powerful the extraordinary beings want to cause in this regard It is actually very difficult for them to change their emotions, just like ordinary people don't care that moving the furniture in their house is a big deal.
Not to mention, it is difficult to imagine the existence that transcends ordinary extraordinary beings—existences called gods—that any change in things can make them feel fear and sorrow.
But it is what it is.
Even a god would feel fear and sadness at the changes in the things he is most familiar with.
Starfall 862, February 19, Mycroft's world standard time is unknown, lost in the abyss of the galaxy, outside the maelstrom of creation.
The God of Life walks in the void of the abyss. He walks aimlessly, just like an ordinary person walking back and forth in an open space to relax.
He is recalling, recalling memories related to himself in the distant past, thousands of years ago.
Among the higher-ups of Mycroft civilization, there is a secret that is not a secret - where did the Seven Gods come from? This question is something that the general public does not need to think about, but for those strong people who are close to the gods and want to surpass the gods, knowing the origin of the gods will definitely be of great benefit to their own strength.
Originally, even the Seven Gods themselves did not know the answer to this question. However, in the battle against the embryo of the evil god of death, the long-lasting truth was finally revealed during the expedition to the deepest part of the abyss. Know the origin of the Seven Gods, and the Seven Gods also know their own origins.
They are awakened wrecks, embers that respond to the call of the Holy One and come to life.
—They were once human beings, members of all sentient beings, and the vanguard bulwark against chaos in the previous era.
Many powerful people suddenly realized that they finally understood why the Seven Gods would protect the Mycroft civilization without any reason, and why these extremely powerful beings would always stare at the living beings of this world - because they were born for this, and for this. The protector who died here was the watchman who lasted for two eras.
Their doubts were answered, but the Seven Gods themselves, who had recovered their memories of their former human form, were at a loss.
-There are too many changes.
Whether it is the difference between this new Starfall Era civilization and the Glorious Era, or whether it is the difference between the former powerful person of the Glorious Civilization and the current one who is the Seven Starfall Gods... The scenery of my hometown has long since disappeared. Of the seven continents, only one remains, and the scenery of his hometown has long since disappeared. There is absolutely no similarity between the Mycroft of today and the Mycroft of the past.
All these changes are so huge that even gods will be stunned, and even extremely terrifying thoughts will arise from the bottom of the mind.
—Is all of this really worth protecting for me
—Everything I love and in my memory has disappeared with the wind. The world has gone through great changes, and even the bloodlines of familiar people have been gradually cut off over the millennia. Except for the same name, the Mycroft who is now is the same as he once was. The one you swore to protect with all your life and soul
There is no answer.
"The only thing that remains unchanged is chaos."
The God of Life raised his head. He was currently located in the deepest part of a world's galaxy. He raised his head and looked at the diverse galaxies in the distance, just like a person at the bottom of a deep well in deep time and space, looking at the sunshine and blue sky at the mouth of the well.
He could see that darkness was spreading and invading at the boundary of the huge, endless and diverse galaxies.
Whether it is the guardian or the world being guarded, everything has changed, but only the enemy has not changed. In the passing time, in the reincarnation of the world and civilization, even the memory of God is blurred and begins to dissipate, but this heart of hatred and struggle has never faded from beginning to end.
So soon, the gods all got out of this confusion, and they moved forward firmly again to protect everything today - but He, the God of life who is known as the "strongest god" and a strong candidate for the title, has always been Without stepping out of the small circle in his heart, he was still recalling in a daze, looking for the differences between the past and the present.
The war in the Biros Galaxy is getting more intense, and the collision between the Evil God's Familia and civilization is gradually escalating. As the leader of the Grand Alliance, Mycroft Civilization naturally has to set an example - so, there is not much time left for the God of Life to remember, Seven All the members of the God will soon go to the front line together to support the already heated battlefield, and today is the last time the God left for himself to remember before leaving.
"Teacher, this is really different..."
Stopping at the boundary between the maelstrom of creation and the abyss, the God of Life lowered his head. His veil completely covered his expression, but his voice revealed endless pain and confusion: "I can fight the evil god, Even if I die gloriously in battle again, even if it is just for those living beings who believe in me, those children who praise my name, I am willing to swear to protect all things again - but this Mycrof civilization... Mykrov civilization without you... The changes are really too big.”
"but… "
For some reason, the god recalled the conversation he had with that person in the deepest abyss of the Lost Galaxy a long time ago, before he fell into deep sleep and his memory was not sealed.
He still remembered the words that the being who had become a stranger said with a smile when he left the abyss of darkness and went to the source of the initial fire.
"It's okay, Eve. You don't understand it now, but in the future, maybe hundreds of years, maybe thousands of years, in the endless life of the gods, you will always understand."
He said this, and the saint's voice can still be recalled very clearly to this day: "It's all the same."
"As long as it's human... no, as long as it's civilization."
"It's all the same."
The saint who once deeply loved mankind has changed. He has become too big and too majestic, making people who were close to him and familiar with him at a loss. He transformed into an infinite existence, and his will enveloped the multiverse, causing a change called 'holy light' to affect all living beings.
He once loved individuals, relatives and friends, but as long years passed, relatives and friends disappeared, leaving only his comrades called saints who still followed him. The infinite life of a powerful and extraordinary being allowed him to gain many things, but also Many things in him have been worn away - no, not feelings. His heart is still hot, and even becomes deeper as time goes by.
His love is still there, the God of Life is absolutely sure of that, but... when He leaves, that love is divided among the infinite multiverse.
-it's the same.
How can they all be the same
What an uncomfortable change this is for civilizations and individuals who once enjoyed His love exclusively.
The God of Life sighed, raised his head again, and looked into the void in the distance. The god's gaze returned to determination.
It is enough to show your weak posture once in a place where no one knows. Next, it is time to fight as a god - He is far less fragile and far less pretentious. He is the God of life that is praised by others. , is the guardian and protector of all life. Compared with this responsibility, just abandon the sadness and confusion of that girl, those memories that no longer matter.
After all, compared to the world and civilization, what has changed the most is the gods themselves.
However, there is still a scene where the God of Life has not abandoned it, but has hidden it in the deepest part of his heart.
- It was a pure white courtyard, located in the holy city hanging high in the sky. Next to the tower of light burning with the holy fire, a girl was sitting on a bench in the courtyard, holding a book in her hand, and a The gentle elder was standing behind her, explaining the secrets in the book to her.
The cool breeze from far away passed through the courtyard, causing the grass and trees to sway. The girl's hair flew away from her ears. The yellowed pages of the heavy book were turning, and the elder's laughter was still clear.
"Not bad, Eve." At that time, he still belonged only to the Mycroft civilization, only to them, and only to her.
"—You are indeed my best disciple!"
The laughter dissipated.
A pure white light, just like that of the past, lit up and passed through half of the galaxy.
The other six divine lights also lit up from different places at the same time, converging in one place.
Chaos invades in the distance and darkness spreads. At this moment, it is another era of reincarnation - the old enemies reappear, and disaster strikes again. But compared to before, this time Mycroft is not fighting alone.
"It's time to fight."
Along with the huge space-time oscillation that started at the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Field, the gods said this. They looked at each other and then smiled.
"It's time for revenge."
Then, go too.
Starfall 862, February 19, 11:24 pm on Mycroft World Standard, at the top of the Pioneer Fortress community and at the front line of the Multidimensional Galaxy and the Bilos Galaxy.
In the misty void, the brilliance of the great demonic tide mixed with the light of many stars in the world, forming a foggy light belt that was not bright. However, the strong light emitted by the main guns of many fortresses was like a supernova explosion, covering the battlefield again and again. Illuminating, penetrating the light belt, crushing the approaching waves of darkness.
This is not the stable and peaceful rear of the multi-dimensional galaxy, but the Biros Galaxy Fortress Group, which has been gradually fighting against the invading army of evil gods for two full years, which is the so-called front line.
Steel, or fortresses made of something stronger than steel, are like nails, rooted in the void. Countless fortresses are combined into a set of huge magic circles, which are enough to disturb the edge of the entire galaxy. The source of disturbance prevents all non-friendly entities from jumping or moving at will. In other words, unless the entire fortress group is completely destroyed, basically no enemy can cross this front.
But now, at the forefront of this huge fortress community, thousands of fortresses have fallen, broken, and completely lost their function.
An obviously human-style steel fortress stands in the void. Countless runes are like rings, rotating around the fortress. With it as the center, the dark space-time turbulence is filled with the remains of battleships and various evil gods. The corpses of the dependents can even be seen, and the fragments of several other fortresses are burning with flames of energy, being pushed into the distance by the surging demonic tide.
The styles of battleships are generally in the style of Mycroft, but there are many types of Evil God Familia - some are ugly monster shapes that look like giant insects, and some are extremely simple geometries, even black ones like rectangles, cubes, and triangles. Things can even be seen. In the dissipating corpses, there is a light wheel that is constantly dimming. From the appearance alone, it does not look like a strange family of the evil god's family. Even though the light wheel is dimming, it still emits weirdness. The energy disrupts all fluctuations around it.
"Damn it, why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?!"
A relatively intact fleet was sailing rapidly in the void filled with wreckage and corpses. They kept firing clusters of artillery fire towards the rear like streams of light, killing and turning the scattered Evil God Familia who were chasing after them. As nothingness - but what can be seen is that the leading battleship is not shaped in a human style. It has translucent surface armor and a streamlined fusiform outer body like a biological battleship. It is waving hundreds of fluttering wings. The transparent tentacles created an invisible position and tore a large group of menacing evil god's dependents into debris in the void.
No, this is a biological warship.
In the leading biological battleship, a young black-haired captain was holding a communication array, roaring and saying something to the other end of the array - but because the communication was too noisy and unstable, he soon He was so angry that he wanted to throw the communication circle to the ground. Fortunately, the captain had a good temper. In the end, he just sighed: "That's it. The Grandi Fortress is also under attack. It's normal that there are no reinforcements. Damn it. , Why are there more and more Familia who are 'isolating the evil god' recently? This communication circle is completely unusable!"
"Is it possible that the evil gods are coming soon?"
"Probably not so fast."
A soft female voice could be heard ringing in the battleship. That was not an auditory hallucination, but the real voice of the battleship itself: "According to observation and analysis, the arrival of the Evil God's headquarters army will still take a few years. After all, they do not have intelligence and self-will, so their speed has been stable. Very mechanical and very predictable.”
"That would be tragic. If the evil gods will come soon, it will prove that they are nothing more than this. But if it takes so long, according to the trend of increasing war intensity, I am afraid that in the end, the entire Pioneer Fortress Group will be destroyed without the evil gods taking action. Destroyed by the Familia."
The veteran fleet commander, the commander-in-chief of the 'Mycroft-Atrium Combined Fleet', Kreller shook his head, and he said helplessly: "Elma, what should I do? If it weren't for your strength, our fleet would be I am afraid that we will all be wiped out in the encirclement of the Familia just now. Now we have been scattered by other fleets, and we have no reinforcements. If we don't hold on, we may have no choice but to continue to flee."
"If there are other options, I don't recommend sticking to this option. After all, we have just seen it with our own eyes - the number of Chaos Familia this time is unexpectedly large. In this fortress theater alone, there are 7 million of them. The above-mentioned mature Chaos Familia are all huge void beasts that have landed in the world, and one of them is enough to put multiple golds into a bitter fight."
Biological battleship - to be precise, it is Amos. The new legendary strongman Elma said so calmly. There was no panic in her tone. After all, with her strength, she could not defeat the encirclement of the family members. At worst, she would lead the charge. If there is a way out, at least she and Crelle will be out of danger. But even the Amos people have no reason to abandon their comrades so simply: "However, although we can't count on reinforcements from other fortresses, I remember that the reinforcements from your Mycroft Civilization Headquarters have been needed recently. Arrive? Anyway, depending on the strength of the fortress and our strength, there is no problem in safely holding it back for a few months."
Hearing this suggestion, Kreller couldn't help but fell silent.
Ever since Mycroft was brought back by that Lord from the Bloody Battle Galaxy, he has returned to the fleet with full glory as a man of the moment. As a person who was valued by that adult and even given special equipment, naturally no one would make things difficult for him. Coupled with the existence of Elma who later awakened and defeated the extreme virus with her own will, he quickly returned to his organization. , and even got the opportunity to command a combined fleet.
This is not difficult - with Elma's words and deeds, as well as his own diligent study, Kreiler's already good qualifications have been fully utilized, but the better he performs, the greater the challenges he encounters, and soon , he and the entire fleet were transferred to the front line and began a several-year defensive battle with the Evil God Familia.
To be honest - the feeling of fighting is not bad. Apart from having to endure the loss of the death of familiar people from time to time, and the confusion of being familiar with the fall and destruction of a fortress, there is nothing wrong with it. As a strong-willed transcendent, Kreller was able to withstand this change. The man who grew up in the black tide of the Far South Fortress had even long been accustomed to this kind of small grief caused by loss.
Compared with these, what he couldn't bear even more was "placing hope on other people".
"Elma, don't be ridiculous, you hate this kind of thing the most, don't you?" After exhaling, Krelle shook his head: "If you are the kind of person who will just wait for reinforcements to come to save you, We wouldn’t have done so many things in the Amos Court at the beginning—we wanted reinforcements to counterattack, not just to save our lives.”
"Yes, don't open your mouth - I know it all. It's just a tentative attack from the evil god's army, the family members, the forward army, the scouts, a branch team. Yes, such a trivial attack can chase us He ran away in embarrassment."
There was no explosion in the void, but the energy fluctuations caused by the destruction of the battleship and the death of the powerful evil god's family members would still be like a sound, forming spreading ripples on the battleship's detection array. At this moment, the ripples on the detection array are as dense and mixed as a lake in a heavy rain, but Kreller's eyes still contain courage: "But we are also united by multiple galactic civilizations, Mike Rowe. It's civilized, stationed in the Byros Galaxy, and belongs to the Jamad Fortress. It's just a small fleet. As long as there are reinforcements of even one-third of the fleet's size to help me flank the flanks of the Evil God Familia, I will turn around immediately. Destroy them."
"So what can you do?"
Hearing this, Elma couldn't help laughing, and she reminded: "The Evil God Familia that was chasing us just now has been destroyed, but if we continue to stay outside the fortress, we will become the target of other Familia. If we don't make a decision quickly, At that time, it will be equivalent to attracting the enemy to attack the fortress."
In the Biros Galaxy Fortress community, each fortress has a unique breath-covering array. If you don't encounter it head-on in the void, you can't find the fortress itself just by relying on breath sensing - but the fortress itself can still play a role in limiting teleportation and limiting The ability to jump makes the enemy fall into the void, and they can only run around at a loss, unable to find the target they should destroy. Then they are defeated individually by the fortress fleet that can accurately find the enemy, and are destroyed one by one.
For civilization, this should be considered the most disgusting kind of fortress group. Even if it has the power of the sky, it can't exert the slightest bit - but for the evil god's army, it is not that troublesome.
As long as you use a military force that is ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times more than your fortress area to crush the entire void, then naturally there will be no hidden body, not to mention that if you attack along the many fortresses, Fleet action itself is a good way to find fortresses.
"I do have an idea."
After issuing several instructions to the fleet, Kreller was about to discuss the next actions with Elma, but at this moment, a voice was translated from the communication circle, but a tired voice could still be heard. sound.
"The 13th District, Batonnier is going to... attack... siege... unable to resist... rescue..."
The intermittent voice could only convey a few keywords, but anyone could understand that this was the same message for help sent by Kreler before. A fortress was being besieged by the Evil God's Familia. It was unable to resist and was in urgent need of rescue. .
We receive dozens of messages asking for help every day. After all, this is the front line, and it is always in an extremely critical state. God knows when a large group of evil god's dependents will emerge from the silent void, and then happen to hit a fortress and kill them. Tear into pieces.
"The Thirteenth District, Batonil Fortress, seems to be a group of civilized fortresses in the Tolan Galaxy. Their strength is a bit weak. If they encounter the same impact as us, they will indeed be unable to defeat them."
Elma's voice sounded, prompting with deep meaning: "What's wrong? Krelle, you hesitated. But they are not human beings. Are you planning to help them?"
"how?"
Hearing these words, Krelle couldn't help but snorted. He raised his head, looked at the biological dome of the battleship, curled his lips and said with a smile: "So what if you're not a human?"
What is the difference between human beings... and other life forms
-it's the same.
"It doesn't matter, it's all the same."
He waved his hand and said boldly: "Since I can't wait for the reinforcements, then I will become the reinforcements for others. Anyway, what you said before is right. It's okay to hold the fortress for a few months. Let them wait for the headquarters. reinforcements."
"As for now, I will represent the Mycrof civilization to assist our allies in resisting the Evil God's Familia!"
The war is still raging.
Countless fleets, relying on solid fortresses, sailed in the void, like dexterous little swords, smashing the countless darkness that invaded them, and countless clusters of evil gods' families, turning them into indistinguishable debris in the turbulent flow of time and space.
But the fortress is also shattering, and the front line is constantly being oppressed and retreating. The endless darkness is now just the tip of the iceberg, but even so, many civilizations who have joined forces to resist it are almost unable to breathe.
And in the silent void, at the front of the battle line closest to the Biros Galaxy, a huge existence like a light wheel, extremely huge, exuding dark stardust, emerged from the infinite dark void, carrying chaos. The aura of destruction appeared in front of all beings, and then slowly entered the Biros Galaxy.
For a moment, all communications were cut off, and all fleets and fortresses became isolated islands. Everyone wandered alone and fearfully in the void, fearing this change.
[Isolation] The evil god is coming.
Starfall 862, February 20, at 4:55 a.m. standard time in Mycroft, the first evil god in the endless army of evil gods arrived in the galaxy of order.
Starfall 862, February 20th, at 8:21 early in Mycroft Standard Time, the Mycroft Seven Gods who also arrived joined forces to defeat the [Isolation] Evil God in the Biros Galaxy Fortress community.
[Isolation] Evil God, annihilation.
From this day on, powerful civilizations from all over the galaxy came to the fortress one after another. Gods and protectors of many civilizations, countless powerful men and creatures, representatives of civilizations and sharp weapons, all came from the deep It floats underwater and appears to others. Everything is to resist the endless darkness that is far deeper, wider and deeper than any ocean.
The petty quarrel between the Scouts and the Forward Fortress that lasted for several years is over. From today on, it is the prelude to the real decisive battle between Order and Chaos.
Starfall 862, June 10, Mycroft standard time at 9:13 pm, the Lost Galaxy Abyss, the center and deepest part of the Creation Maelstrom.
[It doesn’t matter—it’s all the same]
As a world was turned into ashes by an artificially catalyzed evil god, and this evil god was completely crushed by a greater force, an extremely majestic voice seemed to penetrate from the source of all things to the end of all things, Thus spoke from this dead eternity.
And a mind that was even greater, far more terrifying than the will lodged in the remains of the evil god came, coldly completely erasing all these changes.
In the center of the great whirlpool of creation, there is an extremely huge silver world, almost like the prototype of a super-large single world. Just like the cornerstone, it lives in the center of this whirlpool. He stabilizes the hub of the reincarnation of all worlds and uses his own The will changes the rules within it.
You can see that around this silver world, there are countless stars and compasses, regularly arranged worlds. These worlds seem real, but they are like phantoms, between reality and reality - and the silver world connects all the worlds. Sometimes it turns a few of them into entities, and sometimes it annihilates several worlds and destroys everything in them.
It can be sensed that in the destroyed world, there is a breath of chaos coming from it. It is all real and true, and indeed belongs to the breath of the evil god. However, before the breath that has just jumped up and started to expand has fully developed, there is no trace of it. The great being who got the information he wanted destroyed it with a single thought. This silver world releases invisible fluctuations, which not only affects the worlds it controls, but also affects the entire maelstrom of creation, causing countless reincarnated worlds to bear special marks.
Another breath of chaos is being conceived, the evil god is being generated, and the dead eternity begins to swallow up order, making everything return to silence.
Another cold sweep of will turned the chaos into nothingness, but this time, perhaps after countless experiments and countless attempts, he finally analyzed the eternal process for countless times. I collected the last piece of the puzzle and got the information I wanted.
[It doesn’t matter—it’s all the same—eternity is splitting—]
[It doesn’t matter—it’s all the same—real infinity is being born—]
silence.
Then, he spoke.
"Are they all the same?"
In the silver world, a grand and indifferent voice came. The warrior stared at the place where the world that he had just annihilated was located. He connected the information in his heart that he had obtained the last piece of the puzzle. He suddenly realized it, and then shook his head firmly.
"No, it's different."
boom-
The silver world began to gradually deform. The four-armed giant slowly stretched out his hand. The stick-shaped object that was originally just a barrier to the outer world gradually turned into a clear iron fist. He grasped the last remaining ashes of the world, and then brought it to his eyes. , watch carefully.
"Ah, I understand, 'Dead Eternity' and 'Eternal Wonder'—that's it, the mastermind behind the scenes, it turns out that this is your intention, your purpose."
No wonder you want to destroy all overly developed civilizations and overly stable existences.
Joshua Van Radcliffe let out a long sigh. For the material multiverse, more than ten years have passed, but for the silver world, for countless worlds that have been born and destroyed, Tens of millions, hundreds of millions, more than ten years, or even millions of years have passed. The warrior who witnessed all this destruction and rebirth felt that it was just a moment, and it seemed like an eternity. In this short but long time, he gained something and gave up something.
But the most important thing is that he finally found the answer that troubled him and all the sages before him.
"The man behind the scenes, you said it's all the same?"
"No, never the same."
Ah, I finally got it out, the last part of the series, and then the normal plot.
