When Mycroft Continent is ushering in its first ray of sunshine in the early morning, and everything is beginning to wake up from its slumber at night, in the vast void, there is a spectacular and majestic huge building overlooking it all, the tallest human being One of the crystallizations of wisdom, the Void Star Observer silently rotates its silvery icosahedron shell, watching the continent under her and the infinite multiverse in front of her.
Special-level observation mage Sang Mu sits in the center of the 17th control node of the Void Star Observation Station. He carefully and cautiously monitors the void scene in his direction in real time. The chaotic space-time turbulence is restored under the scanning of the detection array. Their essence is revealed - that is, ripples, ripples that spill out from the existence of the world itself.
As the second-generation disciple of Master Nostradamus, the president of the Royal Mage Association, Sangmu is a golden mage who specializes in the time and space system. His understanding of time and space is far better than those traditional spellcasters who only care about magic power and soul. It is clearly understood that the seemingly complicated and chaotic space-time turbulence is actually the most 'orderly' in nature. However, each world has its own ripples that spread into the distance. How many universes are there in the multiverse? As long as you think about it for a moment, you can understand why you can't find any clues you want from this chaotic fluctuation.
The control node of the Void Star Observatory is not large. It is a perfect circular room. In its center, there is a seat suspended by magic power. Sang Mu, who looks quite young, is sitting on this seat. On the screen, it monitors all the information in the surrounding crystal screens at 360 degrees. The crystal clusters and crystal prisms flash with magical light, supplying sufficient magic power for those screens and detection arrays.
Using his own magic power to communicate with the soul the messages in all the magic circles, he whispered softly: "Everything is normal."
Although his tone was calm, there was a hint of disappointment in his words.
It was not that he was expecting unrest, the young mage just felt a little bored. Five years ago, when he passed the selection for the first time and came to this Void Fortress, which is known as the most mysterious and remote place in the empire, Sang Mu was shocked. He could not imagine that there were such advanced artificial buildings and equipment in this world. It is impossible to guess how much money the entire empire spent to build it, but no matter what, Sang Mu immediately accepted his mission - to always observe all the void scenes in the node he was responsible for, and to find as many anomalies as possible. reaction.
The ripples of time and space appear to be chaotic, but in fact they are orderly. If there is an abnormal reaction that can be quickly detected by a void star observation station that has been specialized in the 'Life Observation Array', generally speaking, there are only one or two possibilities, and that is a nearby person. The world has undergone huge changes, such as the birth of life, or there has been a disaster that destroyed everything and exterminated life, and another possibility is more eye-catching: maybe not far away, a brand new world has just emerged from Born in the void.
After Sang Mu knew his mission, he was filled with extreme pride. He knew that his mission was to seek welfare for the entire Mycroft continent. A world where life was born or a brand new world, for a The value of an intelligent race is self-evident, but this sense of pride cannot last for several years. Now he feels a little bored - not to mention that there is nothing abnormal about the surrounding space-time scene in the detection circle for so many years. , this void star observatory located in the turbulence of time and space does not have any entertainment methods! Moreover, every special observation mage is focused on work and rarely communicates with each other. If it were not for the fact that any mage is good at living alone in one place for decades, with his own iron puppets and books as companions, they might have Just crazy.
"drop-"
Suddenly, a short alert sounded in Sang Mu's ears. The young mage's originally sloppy eyes immediately condensed. He looked excitedly at the crystal screen that issued the abnormal alert, and his spirit immediately communicated with the detection array. , monitor all messages at that location.
"It's a massive object! Life reaction!"
There was a hint of excitement and uneasiness in his soliloquy. After scanning the surveillance messages, Sang Mu knew that it was not the discovery of some living world, but the detection of a huge creature swimming in the void. Just like the legendary giant beast in the void, it has a body shape similar to a hill under the scanning of the magic circle. Its whole body flashes with the extremely conspicuous glow of hot life, stirring the surrounding space-time turbulence like a small sun. Weak ripples were produced.
It was this ripple that alerted the void star observatory. Although it could not be compared with the world, it was still powerful enough to disturb the void. With surprise and a little uneasiness, he uploaded the obtained information to the higher-level management center. Sang Mu turned the lens of the crystal screen and looked at the void. This was the first time he had seen a living void beast. The young mage was filled with curiosity.
But he saw nothing.
No, he saw something, but it was nothing like what he expected.
The screen, which is not very clear due to the interference of the void, shows a turbulent flow in the void. There is no trace of the giant beast in the void. There is only a red meteor carrying a huge life reaction, and it is flying rapidly in the void. , at that moment, Sang Mu even thought it was a large fragment of the core star wandering in the void, but the next moment, he realized that it was the true form of the huge beast in the magic circle.
"But... what's going on!?"
Looking back and forth in some confusion at the completely different messages displayed in the two magic circles, Sang Mu felt that his head was a little confused. A tiny meteorite with a size of only two or three meters, with a mass of at least ten thousand tons, and a strength of The giant beast of the void that is powerful enough to stir up ripples in time and space. The difference between the two is so completely different, but it appears in two detection circles at the same time. This makes the mage feel extremely strange. At this moment, other The mage in the control node also discovered the rapidly approaching small meteorite and giant beast, and issued a warning to the control center. The continuous contradictory messages made everyone feel at a loss, and the chaos caused was even greater until the meteorite entered the fortress. The inexplicable disappearance in the middle of the defensive fire range did not subside for several hours, paving the way for the future upgrade of the Void Star Observer's detection array.
During this process, Sang Mu tried his best to control the defensive array and intercept the giant beast that did not exist or not. However, even though he tried his best, he still did not understand what kind of existence he was facing. This feeling of depression almost made him spit out a mouthful of blood.
Joshua, who did not know how much chaos he had caused, had already been guided by Nostradamus into the Void Observatory and met Israel who was waiting in the secret conference room.
"There is no need to be polite. The reason why I asked to meet here is because it is necessary, and I must not let any outsiders know."
The three of them were already familiar with each other, especially Israel and Nostradamus, who both knew Joshua's character, so the discussion got down to business from the beginning. The warrior directly threw out the information he had received from the Steel Python Kallis, and just threw all the information at the two of them. In fact, Joshua did not explain Kallis's identity in detail, but just Apart from it being vaguely called 'a great being', the warrior will tell the truth about all the news about the abyss and the evil god.
The evil god's message cannot be communicated to the civilians, not only because the other party will know the time and space coordinates, but also because it will cause panic. If everyone knows that they will usher in the arrival of the Great Destroyer in a few decades, that kind of panic and despair will It will disrupt all development steps and make the already difficult possibility of counterattack slim. However, this news cannot be kept in the stomach alone. No matter how arrogant Joshua is, he understands that with his own strength, he can If he is unable to fight against the Evil God, even if he grows up to be able to stop the Evil God in the void by himself in the future, the nearly endless Familia that can wrap up the entire world can easily destroy the world.
Nostradamus and Israel are legendary strong men and leaders of this country. Telling them will not cause panic, but will affect the future development direction of this huge empire, especially since the abyss has not been invaded yet. era, if the Northern Empire starts to prepare now, then even if the Abyss launches an invasion twenty years later according to the original history, they will definitely hit their heads and bleed with blood under the iron walls of Mycroft Continent.
"... If it were someone else who told me this information instead of you, I would throw him into a dark prison to punish him for his lies."
Frowning and listening to Joshua's narration in silence, Israel murmured with a complicated expression: "I can still predict the invasion of the abyss. After all, the devil never conceals his intention to invade our world, but who can Unexpectedly, behind the great demon tide, there are so many..."
"Is that great existence really credible..." After muttering to himself, the young Nostradamus shook his head. His expression was calm, but the joints of his hands were a little stiff from clenching it hard. white. It was obvious that the old mage's heart was also ups and downs.
Can the information it provides really be trusted
The old mage and the emperor raised their heads at the same time and looked at the space-time picture that Joshua used the power of steel to outline in mid-air. The star map of the multiverse that the warrior restored from Kallis was not clear, but it was It was enough to convince him that this was the Void Star Observatory, with a rough star map obtained by the Northern Empire's many years of observing the multiverse. By comparing the information in the nearby space-time realm, Israel understood that no one could fabricate a star map. Such a perfect picture was a huge space-time realm that took humans thousands of years to observe bit by bit. Joshua couldn't make it up, and he wouldn't come up with such an extremely complicated picture just for the sake of alarmism. s things.
There is no doubt that this is all true. Whether it is the invasion of the abyss in the future, or the evil god is returning to the Mycroft continent along the waves of the great demonic tide, these are all true facts. Perhaps the great being that Joshua spoke of did not intend to deceive them. It had indeed lost everything because of the evil gods and had great resentment towards the evil gods, so it wanted to inform all the beings who could resist them of their messages.
"Even if this is false, I can only force myself to believe it and be prepared for the worst in everything."
Standing up from his seat, Israel's expression was more serious than ever before. He came to the picture of the space-time boundary outlined by Joshua and pondered for a long time. Then, His Majesty the Emperor said slowly: "In less than a hundred years, my people will face these terrifying existences." He stretched out his hand and pointed at the darkness that was spreading among the countless lights. Israel sighed rarely, and then showed a wry smile: "The legendary Era of Glory was destroyed in the hands of these beings. Thousands of years ago, our ancestors exhausted the last drop of blood, and then barely managed to continue civilization. , but even so, we have lost a large area of history and heritage, as well as a vast land."
Nostradamus also nodded slightly. In fact, neither he nor Israel is so easy to believe in the existence of others. They will never believe others casually before seeing the actual situation with their own eyes. But Joshua is special. Leaving aside issues of character and traits, this Earl of Northland is the successor of the sage, a legendary warrior, and a member of the imperial nobility. He has no reason or excuse to make up such a story. Incredible information, and as Israel said, always prepare for the worst.
"This news needs to be completely blocked, but other legends on the mainland must be informed."
Taking a long breath, Israel made this decision. He turned to look at Joshua and Israel. Neither of them had any objection. Nostradamus didn't care, and Joshua Xiuya had already had this plan. In fact, he planned to contact Pope Eagle directly later, and through the mouth of the Pope of the Church of the Seven Gods, he would tell the information to the seven mysterious people who were almost never revealed. A god in body shape. The warrior believed that the Seven Gods would definitely understand whether his message was true or false, and would naturally respond accordingly.
"I'll leave this matter to you, teacher." After thinking for a while, Israel took off a bracelet from his wrist: "With my token, although you have also become a legend, the two The words of a legend carry more weight... Even if you don’t believe it, tell them the information, they know the importance.”
"Yes, Your Majesty." After receiving the token, Nostradamus responded crisply. The old mage was still looking at the space-time scene. As a powerful spellcaster who uses time and space magic to advance to legend, he can tell whether this thing is true or false. And after such a long time, except for some small places that are blurry, the entire time and space picture is perfect and self-consistent, without any contradictions or omissions. This is enough to prove that what Joshua said is true.
"Is it impossible for peace to come to this continent full of disputes?" Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but sigh.
Since his birth, continuous wars have been burning on the Mycroft continent. First there were swamp natives, then orcs. Now the imperial power is fighting with the nobles. In the future, there will be abyss demons and unspeakable evil gods. Such a dark future is just Just thinking about it made him feel a little breathless.
But human beings originally grew and evolved in wars, and advanced and survived in carnage.
With a slight nod to Joshua and Israel, Nostradamus disappeared into the secret conference room with a burst of time and space fluctuations and a faint blue light. And then, Israel also grabbed Joshua, who had finished telling him all the information and was about to leave, and said seriously: "Don't leave in a hurry, Mr. Radcliffe, the information you told him is very important."
"So?" Joshua was a little confused. Of course he knew the news he brought was important - but he had already finished speaking, so why did Israel want to keep him
Facing the warrior's words, the emperor sighed slightly: "Such important news, you immediately planned to share it with us as soon as you learned about it... Joshua, your sincerity really makes me ashamed. But as it happens, I also have some here I want to tell you the secret information, which is also the information you should know after you become a legend."
What secret? Joshua couldn't help but feel great interest in his heart. No matter in his past life or in this life, he only knows a little about the deepest secrets in the Mycroft Continent. Whether it is the lost three hundred years of the Glory Era or the ruins hidden in the black forest and underground everywhere, he does not know this. news. For another example, he didn't know what the organization Nolan belonged to was the traitor in his previous life, and this information did not seem to be secret to Israel, the emperor who ruled a huge empire.
"There is the truth about the seal of the abyss, and the secret of the earth beneath our feet. That is the truth that the survivors learned when they came out of the shelter a thousand years ago."
Noticing the warrior's curious gaze, Israel understood that Joshua was indeed interested in this, so he smiled softly, then lowered his head and looked at the steel floor of the Void Observatory with a solemn expression. It can penetrate the strongest alloy deck and reach the other side of the void, the shining world of Mycroft.
"It is also the origin of the Starfall Era."
I have a cold, I have been lying in bed for a day, my throat is inflamed...
