[Before the legendary powerhouse arrived, another four nights passed. The same situation would occur every night. The light flickered, the mist spread, and the magic power surged, and the earth cracked the channel. On the fourth time, all the people were killed. After killing the gushing monsters, everyone in the exploration army finally couldn't restrain their curiosity about the unknown, and decided to select a few strong men to enter the passage of the earth to find out the truth contained in it.
Four strong men were selected, and they walked into the cracks in the earth together. To everyone's expectation, it was not what people imagined. This was not a passage leading to the underground monster's lair, but a naturally formed stable space-time passage. As long as there is an abnormality in the magic power and strong waves appear, then this passage to another world will naturally open.
Through the passage of time and space, the four came to a desolate plain, where countless monsters thrived. After sensing the invasion of outsiders, they swarmed forward and attacked the visitors from another world. Since the four strong men were The chosen ones were naturally strong, and the waves of monsters were smashed into pieces as if they were hitting the hardest rocks.
After spending several hours cleaning up the surroundings, the four strong men discovered the remaining traces of civilization while handling the remaining loot.
It was a huge and hard black stone tablet, with strange words engraved on it that no one could understand, but as long as you looked at him, you could automatically understand the meaning.
The stele narrates such a story - a story about the decline of civilization:
The civilization living in this world is a civilization that is proficient in alchemy and magic tools. Their power and technology are extremely powerful, and they have been able to cross world barriers to travel and trade in various other worlds, and their huge void fleets sail in many worlds. Among them, the name of this civilization spread throughout the multiverse, but when they crossed the void and explored the unknown world, an unspeakable monster attacked their fleet in the void.
Although the fleet worked hard and finally repelled the monster, no one discovered that the seeds of evil had been planted.
On the day of return, when the fleet returned to its own world carrying special products traded from other worlds, a monster suddenly appeared from the body of someone in the fleet. It was extremely ferocious and attacked the crew of the void spaceship where it was located. , and the magic damage caused by magic instruments does not seem to have any effect on it, and this civilization itself has not produced extraordinary individuals with very powerful individual strength. It only has magic technology instruments that are suitable for everyone. Therefore, when the monster is killed At that time, only five people on the void spacecraft survived.
Originally, the matter should have ended like this. The danger of the void monster did scare everyone, but the matter was far from over.
No one expected that the people on that ship were not the only ones who were parasitized. In fact, almost every airship in the fleet had people who were parasitized. When the airship landed and the crew members returned to their homes, all the parasitic monsters were Breaking open his host's body, he then attacked others with screams.
Despair spreads like a plague. In this civilized homeland, evil descends and the monsters of chaos sweep across everything.
Within half a year, relying on their terrifying parasitism and combat capabilities, these monsters destroyed the entire civilization. The social structure was destroyed. Countless monsters besieged the few remaining fortresses, trying to drag out the lives inside and tear them apart. Eat in pieces.
The remaining survivors of civilization call these monsters "Aragami" with fear and awe, anger and disgust.
The resistance did not stop. After a long battle, the survivors who became familiar with the source of the opponent's power began to plan a counterattack. The remaining alchemists used the materials left after the death of the monsters and their energy that was enough to sail freely in the void. Alchemy creates a weapon, which forms an energy core through a curse seal, and then inscribes runes on a part of the user's body to form a structural link, and collects the power from the monster materials through a complex magic circle and transmits it to the user Or, the person holding this weapon can gain strength and physical strength comparable to the Aragami. In this case, even a mortal can kill the Aragami by picking up this weapon.
Those who have acquired this power can use this weapon that can easily tear apart the body of the Aragami to kill monsters, and then obtain more materials and make more weapons - this is the prototype of the divine machine.
They were almost successful. The remaining people in the fortress all possessed this weapon. They kept counterattacking against the Aragami, hoping to restore the glory of civilization and rebuild society.
But reality cannot be so smooth.
On a day like a dark night, black clouds enveloped the sky, and an inexplicable cold wave descended from the void outside the sky. In the desperate gaze of the survivors, the cold wind howling from the void froze the sky and the ocean, and the gray fog and Ice rain covers the whole world, the incalculable Aragami pours in from countless time and space channels, and the outer wall of the world is slowly torn apart by some kind of force...
An indescribable monster, a certain Void Evil God has arrived.
The power of the weapon comes from the corpse of the Aragami, from that indescribable existence. Weapons without self-will cannot resist that inexplicable call. At this moment, all survivors lose their power and become mortals again.
In the end, the tsunami-like Aragami swallowed up everything. What remained were these stone tablets made by sages who were worried about the loss of knowledge and history, recording the history of this civilization and the manufacturing methods of this weapon.]
“…”
Seeing this, Joshua frowned. He walked to the window of the study and opened it, letting the cold wind blow into the room to calm his mind.
This plot is a bit familiar.
In the fourth edition of Strife Continent, the abyss opens, demons invade, external evil comes, and chaos spreads. There is no doubt that it is almost exactly the same as what this world has encountered. However, thankfully, although the level of civilization in Strife Continent is not as high as that of those who have been able to sail in the void. The world is high, but its individual strength is far beyond that, and it is protected by many gods. Although they often fight among themselves, they will definitely join forces to fight against the external Void Evil God.
That civilization was also very unlucky. It encountered a monster that completely restrained itself. There is no doubt that the civilization and technology of the destroyed world far exceeded that of the Mycrof continent. If a war was launched, the loser would definitely be Joshua's world, but The Aragami who could destroy them were easily defeated and destroyed by the Imperial Exploration Army - this is the difference caused by the different directions of civilization progress.
As for the evil gods, that is beyond the scope of what Joshua is familiar with. In the game, some weak gods, especially tribal gods, only have legendary level strength. However, among the void gods, whether they are evil gods or other existences, they are common. Possessing [divine] upward strength.
Even higher…
Shaking his head, Joshua continued to read the secret letter.
[Those four strong men are the ancestors of the Radcliffe family, the Vlad family, the Scarlet family and the dwarf Ironbodied clan. They decided to temporarily suspend the exploration and transport the stone tablet back to its original world. After the empire learned the news, it opened a direct portal and sent an entire legion of mages.
Under the leadership of the legendary mage Kabala Kaos, the big seal that once sealed the rift in the abyss sealed the time and space channel. But what is disturbing is that the power behind this time and space channel is even stronger than the abyss, even the seal is It is completely impossible to block it. As long as the magic power rises, then the tide of Aragami will definitely start. Although most of them will be blocked in the narrow passage of time and space by seals, there will still be some powerful Aragami who can escape.
In order to prevent this from happening and better destroy the god of wasteland, with the help of the legendary mage Kabala, four strong men recreated the weapons on the stone tablet.
