Soul of Searing Steel

Chapter 1040: Rise up and fight (5800)

light.

Endless light is spreading in the void, like a huge tide.

This tide is as turbulent as the Milky Way. Its surging spread makes the stars and rivers shake, the worlds shake, and all the heavens are immersed in it.

dark.

The turbidest darkness stands in the void, like a solid reef.

The reef is extremely stable. Even the surging tide can only bring up inconspicuous splashes and debris. The torrent that can shake the world cannot shake it in the slightest. It is like eternity. Not grinding.

Under the illumination of light, darkness has never been so eye-catching. They are approaching, neither fast nor slow, and their movements are neither urgent nor slow. There are countless dark tentacles squirming in the void, and their movements are as stiff as a silhouette play. One can't help but wonder if this is an illusion.

But this is no illusion.

This is real.

The fluctuations of chaos are coming, and suffocating despair is spreading in everyone's hearts.

The aura was exactly the same as that of the evil god army encountered by Biros Galaxy. It was extremely silent and almost blocked all detection. If it weren't for the firelight lit by Joshua that illuminated the void, I am afraid that no one would have been able to predict them before they arrived, just like Before Biros Galaxy encountered an invasion, there was almost no warning.

Still need to guess? The fact is so obvious - beyond those multi-dimensional galaxies, even the light cannot reach the end of the darkness. It is like a cluster of stars, or even a cluster of tentacles that is even more numerous than the stars. What makes them up is the evil god.

Those are all evil gods.

The tentacles of darkness in the sky slowly approached, approaching from all directions, just like a fist gradually tightening to hold the entire multi-dimensional galaxy in the palm of the hand, watching them, originally shocked and delighted by the fire lit by Joshua, The people who felt the hope were all silent now. Their lips trembled in shock, as if they wanted to say something. Their trembling hands tried to hold tightly, but they always failed and could only hang down helplessly.

A strong man from another world floats in the void. He looks a bit like a giant wingless dragon. He just killed an evil god before and was immersed in the joy that he was powerful enough to resist the invasion of the World Eaters. But now, He just stayed in place, not even noticing that he was hit by the floating debris of the world. His thick arms and body seemed to have shrunk, losing their original sense of strength. To the wreckage of his world floating together.

A powerful arthropod creature that looks like an upright spider is staring intently at the light in the sky with his eight eyes, as well as the darkness that is so thick and slowly approaching that cannot be penetrated by the light. He is like this Staring silently, the four hands holding the weapons were loosened... And next to him was a nearly half-destroyed fortress, with the remains of large fleets floating in the void. Everyone could see that before In the battle, how much did they pay to defend it.

There are many similar existences, similar strong men, many, many more.

The overly bright light shines through the sky, allowing the entire multi-dimensional galaxy, all beings that can observe the void, and all beings that can look into the distance, to see with their own eyes that the world beyond the galaxy, the multi-dimensional galaxy, is approaching. It is too huge. of darkness.

It is precisely because of this...

Despair is spreading.

"What...that thing, those things..."

A strong man from the Lund civilization trembled and said to himself that the metal minerals that made up his body had disintegrated, and his original ball-like body was now full of pits. This was enough to prove how many hard battles he had gone through, and that he indeed had the courage to face it. Against the army of evil gods - but now, this huge iron ball, just the electromagnetic buzz in its body has a whimpering tone: "Don't tell me... don't say those are evil gods..."

No one answered, no one dared to answer his almost pleading question. Because it is a dark chaos that exceeds the total number of lives in the entire multi-dimensional galaxy, and is a tide of evil gods that is enough to overwhelm everything.

There is a limit to how intelligent life can handle despair.

They can accept fighting endless enemies until the end of their lives and even the destruction of civilization, all just to fight for a tiny glimmer of hope in the future. They can accept the fact that in this dark multiverse, light is actually a rare party. They can even think optimistically, 'At least our descendants still have a chance to live in the light', even if their own side is completely destroyed. And just like that, I had the courage to die calmly.

But this does not mean that with this kind of courage, one can be calm and composed in the face of an absolutely overwhelming enemy, an absolutely overwhelming defeat that can be said to be 'inevitable and without any hope'.

[Information search: The army of evil gods that flooded the multi-dimensional galaxy... The Extreme Sublimation Aggregate indeed described that it was an army that was enough to submerge the world's galaxy and completely cover the entire multi-dimensional galaxy]

There is also a rare sense of solemnity in the information transmission of the triple curtain: [Information search: According to its description, even the entire multi-dimensional galaxy has been completely wiped out - maybe the multi-dimensional galaxy where it was originally encountered such an army.]

It is an aggregation of psychic omnics, and generally does not have any fear, but there are not many existences like him.

Even Joshua was stunned.

Crushing the hand that condensed the evil god's core, he slowly lowered it. The light gradually dimmed. The warrior raised his head and looked at the endless darkness in the sky. His expression became shocked bit by bit, then became dignified bit by bit, and finally Little by little he became solemn.

"one two three… "

He counted softly: "Ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million..."

Different from other beings whose details cannot be seen, the warrior observes those dark tentacles and can clearly see how many of them are evil gods and how many are Chaos Familia. And among the evil gods, how many are just near-holy evil gods and how many are Ordinary evil god.

But as he kept counting, he stopped counting. He didn't waste time doing meaningless things, counting those endless tentacles of darkness, and counting how many evil gods there were in these tentacles.

Because at present, one can see at a glance that among the small group of chaotic tentacles closest to the multi-dimensional galaxy, there are forty-five near-sage evil gods.

They fly calmly in the void, invading from every direction of the multi-dimensional galaxy, leaving no trace behind. All the tentacles come together, it is like a 'strangling' with no dead ends. This momentum and number are even far away It was more terrifying and unstoppable than the original encounter with the extreme sublimated polymer.

In fact, there is no possibility of escaping - because the endless tentacles of the evil god are like an extremely huge net, and any existence above a certain scale will inevitably be discovered by them, filtered out and killed.

"Priest and Alva..."

Joshua murmured to himself, with a heavy tone: "And the ether ring world we created...can we really deceive these evil gods and avoid them safely?"

This army of evil gods is attacking from every direction, let alone the question of whether they can escape. Even if Joshua can kill the near-sage evil god, there is no way he can stop them in time - the forty-five near-sages. The evil god only exists in the group of tentacles closest to it, and after that, God knows how many more there are, whether it is a hundred times or a thousand times, or even an order of magnitude greater.

"No, don't say it's blocking it."

Facing multiple near-holy and evil gods, it is actually unknown whether he can win.

Joshua sighed. Although he was confident enough, he was not so arrogant that he would deceive himself into believing that he was indeed very powerful, but could any near-sage be 'weak'? Could it be that the civilization and strong men who can advance to this level have any weaknesses that can be exploited

However, looking at this scene, Joshua wanted to understand why the situation suddenly became so dangerous.

"Yes, the shadow subspace created by the Shadow Sage."

He whispered, and the soldier couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This is the only explanation."

The shadow subspace created by the Shadow Sage affects the entire multiverse. It connects all isolated multi-dimensional galaxy groups, allowing future civilizations to span endless time and space and fight against the endless clusters of evil gods - but equally, the one that connects all realms The passage will also make it easier for countless evil gods in the void to gather together and launch invasions and destructions at a faster speed.

Even the Holy Light can actually be regarded as a kind of guidance from the evil god. The bright light is like a beacon in the void, and the lighthouse responds like a lighthouse and guides the evil god forward. Of course, this can also be done among civilizations. This is also One of the original characteristics of Holy Light.

From a future perspective, the future war against evil gods may involve civilization clusters from multiple galaxies uniting to fight together. Greater power and more resources can directly resist the tide of chaos that cannot be resisted by multiple galaxies alone. This is indeed far better than a single multi-dimensional galaxy fighting alone. More different knowledge and civilizations are mixed together to communicate with each other, and naturally they can get closer to the truth, and more powerful people, near saints, and even new ones will emerge. Sage.

This is probably the hope mentioned by the sages.

Indeed, this really is hope. Joshua has understood this for a long time, so he has always had confidence in the future.

But this also means something else.

That is, after the sages and shadow sages, the galactic civilization that was the first to endure the changes they brought and the first to deal with the catastrophe at the end of the era may not have time to unite with other multi-dimensional galaxies, so it must be one of its own. resources, the power of one galaxy, to face the ultimate catastrophe that can only be faced by many diverse galaxies in the future.

Just like what everyone can see now - the tentacles of darkness that cover the sky and the sun, and even the void is filled, are approaching. It is a chaotic cluster that is enough to destroy a multi-dimensional galaxy God knows how many times. It is the source of many multi-dimensional galaxies in the future. Civilizations must work together to defeat even enemies that require a hard fight and a stalemate.

But now, facing them, there are only one civilization in the galaxy.

The light dimmed, and Joshua looked up into the dark void. The four hands of the giant god fell to his side, and his eyes stared at the far end.

-The first person to eat crab is always at a loss.

—The first people to arrive in a new world always encounter new plagues and dangers.

-The first person to blaze a new path always has no idea what lies ahead, what gains to be made, and what enemies there are.

Being the first, the first, the first - the first is the supreme honor. Being the first means being the first to get the most precious first-hand information.

But the first one is also the most dangerous. Because you have no experience at all, you will make stupid mistakes. Because you can only cross the river by feeling for the stones, you don’t know whether the front is a solid stone or a turbulent one. vortex.

—They are already here, much faster than anyone imagined

Today, the multi-dimensional galaxy where Joshua is located has to face these - the first multi-dimensional galaxy to encounter the catastrophe of the multi-universe in future generations. Everything they see and witness now will be of great significance to other civilizations in future generations. It is precious information that is enough to unite the civilizations of other diverse galaxies in future generations in fear, without any unnecessary friction and disputes.

But I’m afraid that if future civilizations want to know this information, they can only dig it out by digging up ruins.

"too much."

"Too urgent."

The soldier said to himself: "I have... no time."

Time is running out.

He had just broken through to the realm of near-sage not long ago. Even though he had a profound foundation and was supported by many sages and other near-sages, he was still a long way from the realm of sage - he still needed to accumulate, hone, and Only through thinking and verification can we make step-by-step, steady breakthroughs and advance to a higher existence.

But now, there is no room left for him to develop with peace of mind.

The Biros Galaxy, the Lost Galaxy, many galaxies, and even the entire multi-dimensional galaxy, all the strong men who came to the front line, were about to come to the front line, and were still guarding their hometowns were silent. They simply didn't know which side they should defend against, because no matter which side they were on, there were endless evil gods about to attack. Their silence may not be due to fear, but it is undoubtedly desperation.

Fear and despair are different - a fearful person will be timid even if he goes to fight, but it cannot be said that he does not have hope for victory in his heart, there is a trace of hidden fire, while a desperate person can die generously, but his heart has already Loneliness, because they know that death and failure are the only endings.

The Seven Gods stood together with other powerful Mycrofts. Yi Zuo touched his beard. The dwarf god didn't know what to say and just sighed. Yue Ai was surprisingly not worried. He had already He is determined to die and has a very dim view of the future.

But other gods and powerful men could not be as calm as these two. Some people closed their eyes, as if they could not bear the despair of continuing to watch. Some people took out the communication circle, seeming to want and be familiar with He contacted his relatives, but he opened the communication list and didn’t know what to say.

Last words? It's too early, and it's too funny. The fight hasn't started yet. At least we have to wait until other evil tentacle clusters really come.

However, is it useful to say I love you and I love you

Does the courage of unity and the determination to fight mean anything

Firm belief, fight bloody battles, fight to the end, and never retreat - the previous slogans all had 'victory' and 'hope' as glimmers of light to induce people to unleash their full strength - but now, these words have become It’s empty and illusory, can you still say this out loud

Too childish, too cute, what kind of unyielding will, what kind of passionate spirit, in the moment of contrast with the darkness, they are just like the ravings of a child.

"what can we do?"

As if talking to himself, and as if asking, Mie Lu said: "What else can we do?"

This was a really good question—because for a moment, no one could answer it, and silence fell once again.

—But now, are we really at a point where we are helpless and can only close our eyes and wait for death

Joshua sighed deeply.

—He doesn’t smoke and will refuse even if someone invites him.

—He doesn’t drink either. He will only respond if a good friend raises a glass.

He doesn't care about delicious food, and he has no interest in physical desires and enjoyment. He doesn't waste time, even playing games and taking walks have their own purpose. He never uses any side means to kill his will, he always does whatever he wants, and is the purest version of himself while ensuring that it has no impact on others.

He doesn't need to smoke to relieve his worries, he doesn't need to drink to drown his sorrows, he doesn't need delicious food and sensual desires to numb himself. A warrior doesn't need anything. He just does what he should do, and whatever he wants to do.

Even if it makes other people feel regretful and reluctant to let go, it is still his choice.

This time, naturally, it’s the same.

"Ah, what a blessing."

With a low breath, the man raised his head and reached out to grasp the darkness on the sky, just like when he was a child, he stretched out his hands to grasp the stars with great anticipation.

"Fortunately, I have always been an abnormal person and a lunatic. I have long thought that such a day would come."

—In a world without miracles, I fantasize about fighting powerful extraordinary enemies. In a world with miracles, I fantasize about fighting opponents one after another that are more powerful than the ones I encountered before. The world loved me and allowed my fantasies to become reality, and to this day, I am still delighted.

- But even so, I also understand that reality will always be worse than I expected and even worse than what I imagined. Even things that I can't even imagine may actually exist in reality.

The man clenched his hand, as if he wanted to grasp all the darkness in the sky, but just like a child who could not grasp the stars when he was a child, he just shook his hand and punched the sky.

"I have always thought that I can successfully become a sage, defeat the mastermind behind the scenes, and thus achieve my goal, end the sad cycle of reincarnation, restore peace to the multiverse, and reshape it with my own order. In this case, Maybe I can change myself so that I can become less crazy about fighting, and at least enjoy spending time with my family and friends every once in a while."

"I really thought about it. I really love them. I can hear all the hopes and wishes they express to me, and I want to respond to them all."

But now, the dream has awakened.

"This is the battle waiting for me, I understand. Eternal and endless, annihilating all enemies, this is the battle that belongs to me. I have long thought that there will be such a day, but when it really becomes a reality, it is still a bit difficult accept."

The light lit by the warrior before was extinguished, causing everything in the silent void to return to darkness, allowing the normal light of the multi-dimensional galaxy to shine faintly. In this way, the approaching enemy in the distance could no longer be seen, and everything was extremely calm, as if Everything I had seen before seemed like an illusory dream.

In this way, many strong people and many beings can deceive themselves, saying that those things are all fake and do not exist. They can temporarily break away from despair and return to normal thoughts.

—But Joshua has woken up from true despair!

Therefore, he clenched four fists again, and the warrior raised his right hand without hesitation.

He lit up the light again—a light far brighter, clearer, and more surging than before!

This light lit up again, awakening everyone. It once again crossed the multi-dimensional galaxy and crossed the silent void, completely illuminating all the enemies. It was clear and conclusive. This immediately aroused a large uproar, making everyone Many beings who had finally managed to calm down trembled and covered their eyes, on the verge of collapse.

Although they clearly knew that this was wrong, they still couldn't help but blame and bear grudge against the soldier who allowed them to see the truth. They couldn't help but blame and let them witness the too pale and cold truth too early - couldn't they be allowed to Can you numb yourself and slowly accept this fact? Do we have to make them despair and give up on themselves? !

But a voice sounded, like a desolate horn, like a passionate war song.

"Although the future will be extremely cruel, we must never avoid fear of it."

His voice spread across multiple galaxies and could be heard by any living being. The four-armed giant raised his right fist high. He looked up into the void, staring intently at the endless enemies. His tone was solemn, but not without losing his heroism: "I don't want to stand up and fight. Victory will never come to him."

The man's voice smiled, filled with justice, courage, hope, determination, and full of arrogance, anger, murderous intent, and destruction.

—The light that brightens all things shines through all worlds.

—The dark swarm creeps closer to the world.

—The burning of the flame is about to reach its end.

—The wind of light howls.

—He is now full of determination—

Yesterday’s update took me a while to write, so I’m asking for monthly votes (to make it a habit).
