Soul of Searing Steel

Chapter 1051: Kallis' Determination (8400)

Crystal Obelisk, in the Hall of Recovery.

Everything in the hall was imprisoned by the materialized holy light, as if time had been suspended, whether it was the guard of the Ashes Order who wanted to pull out the thermal energy sword from his waist, or the Grand Inquisitor Glo who repeatedly encouraged his fighting spirit and wanted to break free from this shackles. Well, all were suppressed by a gentle force. They were not harmed, but they were completely deprived of freedom of movement.

And in mid-air, Eagle was completely revived, and all the chaos within the surrounding sensing range was completely eliminated, and he slowly landed on the ground.

He raised his hand and frowned slightly.

"I'm not used to it... Isn't this body too young?"

This body is probably only sixteen... no, fifteen years old at most. Although this age is indeed the time when the relative vitality of the mind and body is the highest, and the reaction ability is the sharpest, which is just right for the priests - but for the legendary strong men, the body is just an appearance, and they are at their peak no matter when and where they are. , there is absolutely no need to be so young.

"But it doesn't matter. After all, I have been resurrected. These are all small things."

Putting down his hand, Eagle in the form of a blond boy touched his chin. Unfortunately, there was no familiar white beard there, but he still thought: "It's strange to say, I clearly remember that even my soul was taken by the near saint. The attack of the evil god was shattered - the soul fragments were infected by chaos. Logically speaking, even the seven gods could not save me. I am afraid that only the power of the legendary sage who resurrected the seven gods can forcefully pull me out of that state. The world of the resurrected…”

But even the original sage must have had to put in a lot of effort if he wanted to do such a thing.

"Is this guy Joshua actually so strong?"

Raising his head, Eagle looked around. He saw the familiar silver crystal, the simple internal structure and decoration, and the familiar, crooked and lovely handwriting of the Silver Fairy. He couldn't help but smile slightly: "When the time comes Say thank you—even though it’s 120,000 years too late.”

By repairing the information left in the light beam, Eagle knew that this crystal obelisk was the advanced resurrection device of many civilized heroes that Joshua had revived from the dead evil god in the past. At the same time, he also knew that this In order to resurrect itself, the Crystal Obelisk spent more than 100,000 years gluing its soul from countless tiny to incredible fragments to the point where it is exactly the same as it was during life. To be precise, 120,000 years. Nine thousand six hundred years.

This number, even for Eagle, a legendary extreme strongman, is a very huge number - the total time he has been alive is not a quarter of this number, but he has this Don't panic, because the obelisk exists and he can be resurrected, which proves that Joshua is still there, and the Mycroft civilization - or at least the successors of their civilization, the order of all things, still exists.

As long as order still exists, everything will be the same. One hundred and twenty thousand years have passed. He does not expect that everything will be the same as before. Familiar things and people have not changed. He just hopes that the fire of order is still burning and that humans can still enjoy It shines warmly and can lead a happy life.

"But what's going on with these little guys?"

After sorting out his thoughts, Eagle always had a lot of emotions when he was resurrected from the dead. He turned to look at the members of the Ashes Order who were imprisoned by him, and the one who woke him up in Mycroft language with a silver elf tone... Uh, half-blood silver goblin? Why is it like this again? Is it possible that intermarriage between humans and fairies has become the norm

"...What's going on with you guys?"

With a thought, Eagle unlocked the holy light that imprisoned everyone. Of course, no one dared to make any changes. Everyone present was not a fool. Facing a prehistoric who was at least a legendary high-level, and maybe even stronger. Strong men, let alone their bad intentions before, even Alpha with good intentions does not dare to breathe heavily now.

"Let me change the question - why are you in this crystal obelisk? Where are the silver fairies guarding, and what are Joshua's defensive measures? Also, what era is it now, and which civilization or force do you belong to? of?"

Eagle could see that most of the people present could not understand Mycroftian, so in the following words, he used spiritual communication to communicate directly. In order to prevent the other party from being oppressed by his spirit and unable to think, he also deliberately spoke to the audience. People are blessed with an extremely effective iron will. But even so, because the questions asked by Eagle were too broad, and many of the words present were not understood by those present, they did not know where to start.

The entire hall fell into an awkward silence again.

What broke the silence was a energetic and energetic female voice.

"Eager, rather than asking these ignorant juniors, let me tell you."

Hearing the familiar voice, Alpha immediately raised his head subconsciously. He looked towards the stairs of the hall in the distance, where two women with silver hair and red eyes were walking slowly towards the center of the hall.

Although they were walking slowly, in fact, every time they took a step, they made a short distance jump. Not long after, the two women arrived in the center of the recovery hall.

"Teacher Carlisle!"

He struggled to get up - but because he was first shocked by Gronn's momentum and then by Eagle's coercion, Alpha almost lost his teeth when he wanted to stand up, but at the moment when he almost hit the ground on his face, A gentle force lifted Alpha up, and Eagle and Kallis took action at the same time, gently lifting Alpha up.

"I'm sorry, Alpha, for making you suffer so much - but now is not the time to explain. I will tell you the truth of all this later."

Patting Alpha's shoulder in the air, Kallis turned her head and looked at Groen and the Ashes Order guards on the other side, who were facing an enemy. She glanced at it, and then turned her head indifferently. Looking at Eagle, Carliss shrugged: "Do you remember me? Mrs. Mike Rowe's Pope."

"It's my predecessor—God knows how many years ago now."

Correcting Kallis' words, Eagle looked at the two silver-haired women in front of him, and his expression gradually became confused: "As for you... your aura... is the one that was often with Joshua back then. Steel Python? And you..."

Saying this, he shifted his perspective and looked at Mycroft. Eagle's expression became shocked: "You, you are..."

"Isn't it you kids who teamed up to seal me in the first place?"

The former Steel Python, now the Royal Archmaester, Mycroft stepped forward, opened his arms generously, and gave Eagle a hug. Then she skillfully raised her hand and stroked the other person's cheek: "Do you recognize it? Eh... your face is so tender! No wonder you always appeared in front of the public as an old man, otherwise there would be no majesty - it's hard to imagine that you looked like this when you were young!"

With a thought, the Holy Light trembled slightly and broke away from Mycroft's arms. At this time, Eagle's face was filled with incredible shock: "The mother of all things - your chaos erosion has also been completely eliminated? That's right, so A long time has passed, and technology should have improved... But what happened? How did the Steel Python appear in human form? Moreover, weren't you integrated with Joshua at the beginning... "

Wait, this is not surprising. If Joshua can resurrect one of himself, he can naturally resurrect more people. Perhaps it is through this method that he can get rid of the deep-rooted chaos erosion in the Steel Python Mycrof, right

But... this has changed too much... Eagle's memory is actually still immersed in the past battle. In order to protect Joshua's core world, the moment he was blasted to pieces by the attack of the near-sage evil god, he faced himself before Resurrection and the peace of sleeping for a hundred thousand years are just the result of the legendary strong man's extraordinary firm will.

But now, all kinds of strange things are appearing one after another - two hostile groups suddenly appear in Joshua's obelisk, one of which is Carlis's 'disciple', and the steel man who used to be integrated with Joshua The pythons are now separated and transformed into human forms, and they obviously have their own purposes when they come to the place where they were resurrected.

There are so many things that cannot be solved by a firm will, and no one can stay calm.

"I won't talk nonsense, Eagle, the current situation is probably much worse than you imagine."

Squinting slightly, she used the corner of her eye to glance at the members of the Ashes Order who were standing motionless without saying a word. She deliberately connected with Eagle mentally, but she still said loudly in the language of the Light Chaser: " Joshua Van Radcliffe - the creator of the 'Three Realms and Nine Heavens' and the Holy Father of all living beings, had already used the magic weapon to fight against endless chaos 129,600 years ago. He exceeded his own limit of power and fell into divine annihilation, submerging himself into the Great Source.”

"Now, we are all in his inner world - the place where he used to seal the Holy Evil God at the expense of himself."

Words in the mouth are not as fast as mental communication. After Kallis finished speaking those few words, she had already told Iger all the news she had received in recent years and the memories she had recalled. Well, you can see that Eagle, who was originally calm on the surface, now has his eyes wide open and his expression is full of disbelief.

"How is it possible—Joshua has actually been destroyed?!"

He subconsciously raised his head and looked at the top of the crystal hall. Eagle used his holy light to try to erode the crystal obelisk. The result was that it was indeed corroded, but it took a lot of effort. The crystal seemed fragile, but in fact it was not. It is the eternal wall of immortality - this is enough to prove that this crystal obelisk contains Joshua's power. Otherwise, even if it is a body with other legendary limits, as long as it is hard to connect his holy power that can change the speed of light constant. Light will inevitably be severely damaged.

"His power is obviously still there...but,"

After confirming this, Eagle shook his head. He still couldn't believe it: "Although I was shocked, my reason made me believe what you said... In fact, I had already guessed Joshua's crazy plan, but I just had it in my heart. A fluke... But if that's the case, how did I come back to life? And you."

Saying this, he said in a puzzled tone: "According to what you said, weren't you also pulled into the Great Source and destroyed together with Joshua?"

"The reason for your resurrection is actually relatively easy to guess. 'Resurrection of all victims' should have been one of the last orders Joshua left for his body, and you happened to die near Joshua's core world at that time. The collection of soul fragments is complete, but some are broken. Resurrection should be more convenient, but it will take a little longer."

Kallis patiently answered the old pope's doubts, but she also seemed very puzzled by his last question: "Actually, I don't know. Back then, Mycroft and I, as well as a group of Steel Pythons, did It is true that he entered the Divine Destruction together with Joshua - he lasted a little longer, but it wouldn't be too long. All in all, in theory, we should all be dead, but now, we all appear in this 'Three Realms and Nine Heavens', this should It’s in the inner world of Joshua.”

"Actually, it was only in the past few decades that Kallis and I gradually awakened and recovered our memories of being Steel Pythons."

At this time, Mycroft took over. Her tone was rather lazy, but one could hear her seriousness: "How should I put it? This feeling is amazing. I feel like I was in an extremely warm and peaceful place just a moment ago. , but in the next moment, I became Mycroft in this life, and I also remembered the memory of my previous life - this kind of chaotic feeling, unless I have experienced it myself, I will not understand."

Kallis nodded and acknowledged Mycroft's words. She said: "Actually, Eagle, the obelisk you are standing on was actually only activated in the past ten years - in the long past, It has always been a mountain until seventeen years ago, when Mycroft and I detected an unusual burst of steel power fluctuations and found this obelisk."

"Then, why didn't you wake me up earlier?"

Eagle listened quietly to the other party's story. Everything that happened now was weird and bizarre, but it was the fact, and it was not a bad thing. However, he always had some doubts and couldn't figure it out: "If I had woken up seventeen years earlier, we would have joined forces long ago."

"permission denied."

Kallis spoke concisely. She turned her head and looked at Alpha, who looked confused and couldn't understand what her teacher and this prehistoric man were talking about. Then she pointed at him and said: "All the silver fairies are here. In the battle where divine power disappeared 50,000 years ago, the world fought and sacrificed against the endless army of chaos. The few remaining ones also voluntarily went to the Heavenly Sword Realm and the Earthly Ax Realm to transform into divine machines and help all living beings. All obelisks require the presence of silver fairies in order to change from 'blocked' to 'open' - obelisks without silver fairies will enter an 'alert posture' to attack all those who do not have permission to approach, while those with silver fairies will If it is a fairy, it will enter an 'open posture' and become a safe public facility."

"Although the power of the Steel Python can also play a certain role, it is only a 'visitor's permission' that can only be entered and exited and cannot be controlled, so we spent a long time to find out how many people in the world have silver Can the fairy bloodline be purified and returned to the ancestors to create a new silver fairy 'management authority' - It was not until Alpha's daughter was born that I discovered that there happened to be one around us. Unfortunately, the awakening of Alpha's bloodline is also a gradual process , and seventeen years ago, Mycroft and I had just awakened and did not have much power. We happened to be targeted by the Ashes Order, the organization of that group of people over there. We could only leave the Shining Area as soon as possible and go to the Twilight Zone to avoid it. "

On the other hand, Alpha, the Grand Inquisitor of the Ashes Order, Groen, who had only a partial understanding of the secrets because he didn't know anything about it, and didn't even know what his teacher was talking about, felt more in his heart after hearing Kallis' words. The shock was like a magnitude 12 earthquake.

Heavenly Father—really died because of the war with Chaos? And what we live in now is in the body of our Heavenly Father

Is this prehistoric strong man really a strong man who fights Chaos with Heavenly Father? Or even that he died and was only resurrected by the Father

As for the Silver Fairies... there is indeed a lot of information about this ethnic group in all the ancient books of the Order... This strange race is active in the depths of the Twilight Zone in the Age of Gods. They always settle in the mountains - that is to say, Settle around these hidden obelisks! Because the Silver Fairies do not need to migrate and rarely go to the Shining Area, they just stick to their hometown, so they are not famous and do not have many deeds spread.

I really can’t believe that this mysterious race in the past is actually the controller of these large crystal obelisks? And Alpha, with the blood of this race, has the authority to control all of this

In this case, then their purpose...

At this moment, Eagle was still communicating with Kallis and Mycroft. He already knows roughly everything that happened after his death, as well as most of the customs and history of the world they live in now, the 'Three Realms and Nine Heavens'.

"All in all, Joshua's will should still be in the Great Source now. Although we came back for unknown reasons, he has no signs of waking up yet."

Roughly summarizing the meaning of the two Steel Pythons, Eagle said in a solemn tone: "And what you want to do is to awaken Joshua as much as possible - of course, before that, first awaken others like me as much as possible Such resurrected people have accumulated enough power to fight against the existing world order."

"As you think. Moreover, it's not just the resurrected ones - the Heavenly Sword Realm and the Earthly Ax Realm among the three realms. We guess that those two worlds should be the true bodies of Firefly and Rin. They are probably also asleep. Now They haven't woken up yet. If possible, we must wake them up first. As Joshua's weapons and part of the bloodline, they must have higher authority than the Silver Fairy."

Kallis raised her head, and she stared at the silver crystal dome, with a hint of sadness in her tone: "Anyway, we have all returned from the annihilation of the gods... This may be because of the backhand prepared by Joshua. , or maybe we were accidentally involved in the Great Source, so we just returned after a long time, but I always firmly believe that that man will never die so simply - he will definitely be able to return from the initial fire. "

"But, based on my understanding of that man... If nothing can be done, he might let his world give birth to a brand new world will - a world will that belongs to the Three Realms and Nine Heavens, but is not Joshua's. —Then, let the will of this world take his place and continue the eternal battle.”

This is indeed what Joshua would do. Hearing this, Eagle was silent, but soon he heard Kallis' cold words.

"But I don't allow it."

"The Joshua I want is that Joshua. Don't even think about escaping his responsibilities! If you want to save this multiverse, it's up to me! No matter what the cost, I must get him back!"

"Even if the price is to destroy everything in this world."

Nothing is more important than Joshua's recovery.

This is Carlisle's will and determination. It is so firm and clear that everyone present can understand it even if it is not spoken.

"Anyway, in the past few decades, ancient ruins have been revived one after another. I believe that we are not the only ones who can restore the memory of the past life. These are all opportunities."

Mycroft's tone was unhurried, and she was a little more calm than Kallis: "And these opportunities require the help of this little guy's power and his Silver Fairy authority."

His eyes shifted to Alpha again. He subconsciously trembled nervously for a moment, but soon, Eagle looked at him. Mrs. Mikelaugh's gentle eyes were like a bonfire, making him feel warmth and strength. , no longer nervous and fearful.

To be honest, Alpha couldn't quite understand what Mr. Kallis or Grand Maester Mycroft said. At most, he could understand that the true identity of his teacher and boss was probably the reincarnation of some gods from ancient times. , and they all know the "Heavenly Father" - and now, when many stars in the three realms and nine heavens are gradually extinguished, they want to revive the "Heavenly Father" and save this multiverse.

But... what is the multiverse? Another name for the Three Realms and Nine Heavens

"What should these people from the Ashes Order do?"

Turning her head, Mycroft looked at the silent members of the cult. She frowned slightly: "Did you kill them?"

"Need not."

Kallis answered quickly. Although her eyes were indifferent and she knew how the other party had been chasing her and others for more than ten years, she still had no intention of doing so: "There is no need to kill them. We still need them to lead the way to the Great Sky Mountain. , and where other obelisks are located. With the Steel Python authority of the 'Star Son', they should have used the power of many strong men who have not yet fully recovered and are waiting for resurrection to make mobile objects. The living battery of the stars... Don’t touch your chin, Eagle, if we hadn’t been here this time, you would have almost been made into a Holy Light Battery.”

"What should this be called? Holy Light Solar Energy?" Mycroft joked.

But while these ancient strong men from the Starfall Era were joking with each other, the Order of Ashes and Grand Inquisitor Gronn could no longer bear it.

—He knew that he was hostile to Carlis and others. The Order of Ash has been hunting them.

He knew that the other party was still hesitating whether to kill them before.

He knew that these should be from the same era as Heavenly Father and were so ancient that they could not imagine the powerful ones. I am afraid they did not regard them as ordinary light chasers in the Three Realms and Nine Heavens as the same thing.

He knew it all - but Gronn still had to speak, it was about saving the world, so he had to step forward - it was his duty as a member of the Order of Ash.

"You... what era are you powerful men from? It's really hard for me to imagine such a thing, but it must have been a long time ago. Your origins are older than the history of the Light Chasers."

Slowly walking forward, even in the face of the pressure of several legendary strong men, Groen still gritted his teeth and refused to take a step back. He roared in a hoarse voice: "But, no matter whether you have known each other before or not, We know each other, are we acquaintances - now, you are all a part of this world, aren't you?" You are all located in this 'Three Realms and Nine Heavens'... You all know the current situation of this world, right? ! "

"It... it's about to be destroyed..."

Eagle did not show off his momentum to suppress Gronn, but Kallis and Mycroft did not intend to let each other get closer, so when Gronn walked forward more than ten meters, he could no longer get close. There were four people in the room, and this white-haired old man with a strong body, who usually spoke with great energy, and who was so energetic that he didn't look like an old man, started to choke a little: "Aren't you also living in this world? No matter you What do you think of the Order, what do you think of me - whatever you think is fine, but if you have other ways to save this world, can you tell me?"

"Really, no matter what we can do, we will do it..."

"We implore you!"

The other guards of the sect also knelt down at this moment and shouted in unison: "We will definitely do it - no matter what the cost!"

Even hostile parties can hear the sincerity and determination in each other's words.

Looking at Groen who was kneeling on the spot with tears streaming down his face, just pleading for him to tell him 'a way to save the world', and all the guards behind him who were kneeling on the ground, Kallis was silent for a while, and then he couldn't help but sigh. Take a breath.

"That's why I don't want to kill you... It's just that, speaking of it, it's really cruel."

At this time, the former Steel Python did not use the Light Chaser language. She closed her eyes and spoke softly in Mycroft language: "Although you don't understand, Groen, what did you Ash Order do when you started? is indeed correct - 50,000 years ago, many steel pythons had not yet awakened, and many people waiting for resurrection were still repairing. Joshua's return was far away, and we had not returned from the great source. At that time, it was you who continued the flame, maintained the center of the Three Realms and Nine Heavens, and the residual warmth of Joshua's "core engine" that allowed this world to continue to exist - you indeed saved the world and paved the way for today's the foundation of.”

"But now, it's different - we have all returned, and although the possibility of Joshua's recovery is slim, it is not impossible. And our purpose is not essentially to save the 'Three Realms and Nine Heavens' that is about to be extinguished. , save this world... Rather, what I want to do is to destroy it and extinguish all its flames.

"Only in this way can the 'core engine' of 'Qiao World' that stopped running long ago be 'restarted' after a complete shutdown - and only at that time, when the warrior's body regains its activity, can we have So there is a slight possibility to wake him up."

This is a very helpless thing.

The entire Nine Heavens of the Three Realms, the core of the Steel Continent, is essentially Joshua's 'core engine' that stopped running - 120,000 years after the warrior god was destroyed, all sufficiently powerful chaos was destroyed, and The core engine had also stopped running long ago because it lost its target, which caused the entire continent of steel to cool down rapidly and the infinite stars to go out one after another.

In order to maintain the existence of the world, the Ashes Order uses the power of the Star Son, the Python of Steel, and some strong men waiting for resurrection in some obelisks. With the increase of the obelisk, it can move the endless stars and maintain the shining area. of light, while also maintaining the residual warmth of the core engine - the black giant star. This allows the world to continue to exist, but it also prevents the core engine from completely cooling down and 'restarting'.

As the Steel Python who merged with Joshua and fought together in the past, Kallis knew the structure and operation principles of Joshua's body very well, and this was the method she came up with.

"Only when the old flame is completely extinguished can a new and vigorous fire be ignited again... We are not strong enough and far from being able to have the best of both worlds, and if I had to choose, I would always choose Joshua."

Kallis' tone was firm. If it was for Joshua's resurrection, she would not hesitate to sacrifice herself.

Mycroft's expression was indifferent - she knew very well that compared to a mere Three Realms and Nine Heavens, some of the races bred in Joshua's inner world, and the entire multiverse, needed the power of warriors more.

And Eagle remained silent. He is Mrs. Michael's pope and Joshua's friend. He sacrificed himself for Joshua, and Joshua resurrected him—does this choice still need to be considered? However, after all, they are all civilizations of order. If possible, the old pope will do his best to protect the Light Chaser when the flames are extinguished.

But no matter who it is, they have already made up their mind and made a decision.

For a moment, the entire hall was silent.

Alpha on the side felt that the teacher she was familiar with had changed - she was still the resolute teacher who dared to make choices, but her essence was no longer the great bachelor and great explorer in the shining area. That is a strong man from ancient times, a 'stranger' who does not belong to this world.

—Is your choice really the right one

Alpha didn't know clearly, but he knew that only by following his teacher could he possibly rescue his wife and children from the Ashes Order. As for the rest of the world... Alas.

In the final analysis, he is also a selfish guy...

After a long silence, it was a decisive departure.

"That's it, let's take action immediately - go to other coordinates on the star map first, and let Alpha revive other strong men waiting for resurrection."

Turning around and walking towards the stairs of the Crystal Hall, Kallis obviously no longer planned to waste time: "Then, we will go to the Shining Area to rescue the reincarnations of the Steel Python and the many Star Sons - There are many powerful people in the Nine Heavens of the Three Realms. The Queen of Heavenly Sword and the Demon-Slaying Lord may have obtained part of the power of Joshua's weapons, Yingying and Rin. They both have legendary limit strength, and the Ashes Order controls almost all There must be many powerful people with divine weapons, and if we don’t have enough people, we may not be able to capture their headquarters.”

"Then what?" Following closely behind Kallis, Eagle sighed: "After the flames are extinguished, what are we going to do?"

"Finally, we will go to the end of this continent of steel, the 'World Frontier'."

Staring straight ahead, Kallis spoke without any hesitation: "The Continent of Steel is infinite and vast, but the 'World Frontier' is different - it was a wound that Joshua himself tore. It should have been the wound he tore at the beginning. In order to seal the passage opened by many near-holy evil gods, but now, this passage has become the end of this boundless world in a certain sense. The world barrier that should have been absolutely impossible to jump over was shattered at the most fragile moment when the flames were extinguished. There should be a 'gap' that allows us to connect to the outside multiverse."

This plot is neither too long nor too short. Almost half of it has passed now. Don’t worry, this is not water.
