Ignoring Hotaru and Rin who were exclaiming behind him: "It's Master Nostradamus!" Joshua quickly came to the old mage who had already stood firm. He originally wanted to help, but Nostradamus Si's condition is better than expected. He just pressed his forehead with his hand and complained, "My old bones are about to be shattered by the shock." He quickly realized the arrival of the warrior, and then said hello weakly: "I knew you were here. Joshua, it’s really great to meet you... By the way, your actions are always unexpected."

"Me too, your appearance is more unexpected than I thought... Nostradamus, how did you come here?"

Patting the old mage on the shoulder, Joshua didn't care about the old mage's disgusted eyes or the time and space aftermath coming from his hands. He looked at the legendary strong man in front of him with an expression that suggested he had seen something incredible. : "I mean, even if you are a legendary mage who specializes in the time and space system, it is impossible to come here from the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrificial Site!"

This is a fact. It is precisely because he is a legend that Joshua knows the limits of a new legend. Like himself, he may be able to cause great damage in Mycroft's world, which is almost a planet's surface, such as destroying A mountain range can casually overthrow and destroy a kingdom and more than a dozen city-states, but it is impossible to cause fundamental destruction to the earth. The same goes for the old mage. Nostradamus may be able to freely travel through the worlds of the multiverse, but that is limited to jumping from world to world, but it is absolutely impossible to cross endless distances in an instant and come to the unified world. The world called "Stars" by Yu Will is something that even the gods may not be able to do.

"I'm actually not very clear about this matter..."

Nostradamus was also worried about Joshua's doubts. He frowned and recalled the situation at that time: "At that time, you suddenly burst out with all your strength and flew towards the center of the demiplane. I was worried about your comfort, so I I immediately used the teleportation spell to move up—you know that demiplane is unfamiliar to me, so I used multiple short-distance positioning teleportations. From time to time I needed to stop to determine the coordinates, and once again when I stopped midway, I heard a sound. A sound that penetrates the entire demiplane.”

Recalling the original voice, the old mage's face became more serious than ever before: "When that voice sounded, what followed was a huge energy fluctuation that shook the entire demiplane. Joshua, you may not know, but at that time Barbarossa and I both sensed that the gazes of the Seven Gods descended from the boundless heaven, and were shocked by this fluctuation. It even lit up the silver-blue sun of Lesson 2 on Mycrof Continent! I thought history touched me. When I saw some ancient ruins, I wanted to rush over to help, but during the teleportation, I was sucked into a huge space-time vortex."

Joshua immediately knew that the so-called huge space-time vortex should be the anomaly caused when the ruling will launched the multi-quadrant teleportation. The reason why the old mage came to the world of stars was probably because he accidentally became a teleporter. One member.

"And you came here?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask.

"Of course not - do you know how dangerous it is to be involved in the turbulence of time and space? That means that it is very likely to sink forever, which is more dangerous than being exiled into the abyss!"

Nostradamus straightened out his somewhat messy robes, straightened the simple belt inlaid with more than a dozen rune stones around his waist, and said with a heavy face: "If it weren't for the help of that demiplane's will, I would have Probably at the beginning of the transmission, it will be crushed by the space-time vortex of the multiverse, just as easily as the tops of two pyramids hitting an ant at the same time... You may not understand this metaphor, but at that time That's the case."

"Then again, the civilization during the Glorious Era was so powerful. They could actually give the world will! Do you know what this means? It means that they can almost create the world! Speaking of which, Nostradan Mars's expression suddenly became a little fanatical, his voice suddenly lowered, and he murmured in an expectant and helpless voice: "If there was a brand new world for farming, then there would be much less strife in Mycroft Continent. …”

Joshua understood the excitement and fanaticism of the old mage very well. After all, if he had encountered such a series of events without knowing the inside story of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Site and the information about the saints, he would definitely be equally excited, but After all, he was well-informed and had seen a lot, so he did not intend to continue talking on this topic, so the soldier said: "In any case, your arrival makes me very excited. After all, two parts are stronger than one." Da, with you here, my task will definitely be much easier."

"That's natural. If two legendary powerhouses join forces, there should be nothing difficult in this world."

Nostradamus laughed, and the old mage looked energetic. He looked around and asked curiously: "A high temple platform on the top of a mountain? I sensed an aura similar to that of the Seven Gods... Joshua, this is where?"

Joshua briefly described their current situation, including the current bad situation of the people in the courtyard, the belief in saints, and the origin and result of the summons.

"Oh my god..."

Nostradamus opened his eyes wide, and the old mage's beard trembled. He shook his head in disbelief and repeated: "You mean, your previous trance in the demiplane was because you accepted the will left by the sages. Taking over the task of the will of half a plane and coming to another world in the multiverse to help them expel Chaos?! The truth is, this is a great feat that no hero in Mycroft Continent has ever accomplished!"

—And it sounds like it’s not the first time. Nostradamus thought in his mind. No wonder Joshua has always been so busy and his strength has progressed so quickly. It seems that he has been secretly busy with these things.

"So, what is the specific situation of our enemies, those Chaos? Is there any information related to them?"

Without too many questions, Nostradamus simply asked for relevant information directly. He was an elder who had lived for decades, so he naturally knew the priorities of the matter: "With information, we can arrange countermeasures. Everything must be done." has plans."

Joshua turned to look at Milhabs who was standing quietly aside. He shrugged and said, "This is exactly what I was going to do just now."

At this time, Milhabs saw the eyes of the two void beings turning towards him, and his heart immediately trembled - he couldn't help but tremble, even though the supreme consul had long been accustomed to the feeling of being watched by thousands of people, but he was caught by the two atrium stars. The gaze of a super life that had never appeared before was another matter. Regarding the message specially sent by Joshua through the power of steel, Milhabs said quickly: "I will take the two of you and set off immediately!"

To be honest, Milhabs didn't know whether he should be ecstatic or worried: the second powerful super life form of the void! And he also has wisdom and can communicate, and he seems to be familiar with the first one! This means that the Void Gate Ceremony was not only a complete success, but also far exceeded its goal. This is its greatest political achievement. What is worth worrying about is that just one super life form is worthy of the Atrium Civilization sending its central fleet to be vigilant about suppressing the situation. The two of them basically mean that the Atrium Civilization is helpless against them. The most frightening thing is that the relationship between the two super beings is very close. This not only means that they cannot betray each other, but also means that there may be an entire void civilization behind them!

If the other party invades on a large scale... then it may not only be a disaster for the people in the Midgard, but the entire galaxy will fall into a cosmic natural disaster. Although the fleet is powerful and can even bombard and destroy the surface of the planet bit by bit, it is nothing more than a huge target for the extremely flexible super life forms.

Especially this one... Mirhabs couldn't help but glance at Nostradamus. Compared to Joshua's relatively restrained energy fluctuations, the old mage's powerful magic power and spirit that existed between the gaps in time and space were as eye-catching as the second sun in the eyes of these spiritual beings. The Supreme Archon even felt his own The psychic energy fluctuates slightly due to the opponent's breathing, and is completely affected by the opponent. This is the most intuitive comparison of power.

"Please, the psychic jump gate is just ahead."

At the same time, at the dock of the huge silver-gray cylindrical space station, there is the fleet flagship bridge in the center of the atrium.

Tarquin closed his mouth and sat in his seat, deep in thought.

If there is a super life, he will encourage Milhabs to use the psychic light beam to control the opponent, then if there are two, he can only give up his mind - if there are three, then even if he uses up all the resources of the Midgard Star, Strength may not be able to defeat it, and even self-destruction would be meaningless. The battle against the crystal insects thousands of years ago taught these proud interstellar races a truth: Although these void beings may seem to have no technology and even seem a bit ancient, they may be further along the road to another civilization than they are.

A path called 'Supernatural Power'.

Not to mention the Holy Council and the Research Center, which were also deep in thought and heated discussion, not to mention the civilians of Atrium Star who were almost boiling because of the appearance of the second void life. The current Nostradamus is carefully observing the center of the Lightning Temple. Portal.

The shape of the temple located on the top of the Holy Star Mountain in the atrium is similar to the ancient Greek style that Joshua is familiar with. It is supported by huge stone pillars mixed with strange cold-resistant plant roots. The center of the huge and empty temple is exuding silver-gray light. Psychic jump gate. At this time, the old mage was looking up and down around the psychic jump door, blocking the way Joshua and others were preparing to move forward.

"Interesting."

After more than ten seconds, Nostradamus stopped observing. He stared at the silver-gray jump gate in front of him and said thoughtfully: "The design is very exquisite, maybe better than - rather, far better than our empire." The set teleportation network must be exquisite. It consumes very little energy, only one-twentieth of the energy of our teleportation gate. Of course, this is mainly because the free energy of Mycroft Continent is very rich, so there is no need to be too frugal. , but there is no doubt that this civilization is very advanced."

"This is a technical tendency brought about by different environments."

Joshua also nodded in agreement: "Mycroft's world may be better in terms of high-level individual strength, but the others are far inferior to this civilization. As far as I know, the people of Midgard have even achieved universal spiritual awakening, which is almost equivalent to Mike's." All professionals in Luofu Continent.”

In any case, after the observation, the group was led by Milhabs to the other side of the time and space gate, which is the so-called [Mother Tree Hall].

Mycroft continent.

A shocking news spread throughout the world.

Behind the space-time distortion point near Mycroft's world, in the artificial demiplane during the ancient Glorious Era, the legendary warrior Joshua Van Radcliffe and the legendary mage Nostradamus are exploring the center of the demiplane He disappeared while in the area and has not been heard from since.

In this regard, the three legendary powerhouses temporarily stopped their exploration, not only because they were frightened by their disappearance, but also because the ancient super-large magic puppet named [Giant God Soldier] restarted amid huge energy fluctuations. , and the entire central area of the demiplane was shrouded in a rich magical fog, with countless man-made killing puppets from the ancient era wandering inside.

A giant god soldier, the legendary strongman can solve it with just a snap of his fingers, but the giant god soldier wandering around the central area now is a stratagem, and he has no intention of using all his strength to anger the suspected demiplane will. In the presence of the Supreme Intent, even Barbarossa and Faina were unable to deal with the ferocious group of Ultimate Intention and even the Ultimate Ultimate Intention level puppets. They could only pull them out temporarily and wait for the opportunity. Because of this, the Half of the Intention at this time The plane has become an extremely dangerous area, and the Empire has officially begun preparing for the next official joint exploration with the Eastern Plains to find news about the two missing legendary powerhouses.

At this time in the Morlai Palace, Emperor Israel was sitting in his seat, squeezing the golden cup in his palm like a mess of plasticine. He looked at the sky with a sullen face, as if he could see half of the sky in the void outside the territory. plane.

"That's all Mr. Radcliffe. He is the inheritor of the sages. He is likely to trigger something while exploring ancient ruins, and then disappear for a while - I have been mentally prepared for this."

Thinking of this, he sighed heavily: "But teacher, what is going on with you? How could you be involved in it?"

With the sudden loss of two legendary powerhouses, the situation in the empire that was gradually becoming clear suddenly became confusing. This made Israel, who was originally in a very good mood, feel extremely depressed. He could only look at the gorgeous decoration of the Morlay Palace. ceiling, and said to himself: "The plan cannot keep up with the changes."

"It looks like reform is on hold."

Every move of a legendary strongman can affect the situation of the world, let alone two legendary strongmen who belong to the same force leave at the same time? But at this time, Joshua and Nostradamus did not have the energy to care about the situation in Mycroft Continent—or rather, because it was useless to care, the two real-life legendary powerhouses forgot about it. , concentrate on the current task.

For example, go to the Hall of the Mother Tree.

Midgard Star, Far East Continent, Great Whirlpool Sea.

Joshua, along with Hotaru and Rin, who had their eyes wide open and their mouths slightly open, watched the shocking spectacle in front of them together with Nostradamus. Even the ball of light came out of the warrior's pocket, and while peeking at it, he let out a shocking exclamation of 'ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.'

The scene that made the two legendary powerhouses stop in their tracks was naturally extremely shocking, and the scene in front of them fully lived up to the name of 'spectacle'.

Standing on a cliff on the eastern coast of the Far East Continent of Zhongting Star, looking into the distance, beyond the blue offshore sea, in the dark deep sea area, there is an extremely huge area with a radius of more than ten kilometers long by visual inspection, enough to swallow up a large city. The super vortex is making a thunderous sound, and countless dark black tornadoes are surrounding it. This magnificent scene is just a super plant life rooted in the deep sea crust, with tree trunks and branches like huge mountains, shaking its roots slightly. and tentacles, caused by the act of absorbing fat from the sea water and the continental shelf - the center of the vortex is a willow tree that seems to be millions of times larger. Its countless willow branches stir in the sea water and mid-air, setting off a wave that is enough to make people Super whirlpools and tornadoes that rippled along the coast of half the continent.

And not only that, Joshua could see that there were countless dense spiritual energy fluctuations in the world, sent from all directions of the world, and even from outside the void of the universe, gathering on this mother tree, containing immeasurable information. In these spiritual energy fluctuations, they submerged into the mother tree and were teleported out by the mother tree.

"That is the daughter strain of the mother tree named 'Tide Maker Ragupos'. It is responsible for stirring the sea water, absorbing the surrounding plankton and minerals, and supplying the mother tree with nutrients."

Facing that shocking scene, Milhabs knelt down on one knee in awe and bowed. After he stood up, he whispered: "The main body of the mother tree is located deep in the earth's crust. The entrance to the mother tree hall is in the earth's crust. In the center of the vortex, where the spiritual energy is violent, you cannot teleport there, so you can only use special... Ah, I forgot, you two just need to fly over."

Thinking of the strength of the two of them, Milhabs said apologetically.

Joshua didn't pay attention to what the other party said. He just nodded and said with emotion: "This is not quite the same as the mother tree I thought."

The old mage subconsciously began to compare: "It seems that this mother tree of the outer race is more powerful than the mother tree of life of the elves - although it is said that the mother tree of life is just an excessive product of the decline of the elves, and their god is a The giant tree that supports the heaven and earth... Sure enough, this civilization cannot be underestimated."

And Joshua, who has seen the Father of Nature with his own eyes, naturally knows that although this mother tree does look very powerful, it is still far behind the true god. Not to mention that the Father of Nature can affect the rise and fall of the magic power of the entire world and overwhelm the will of the world. The divine power of forcibly transforming the natural environment cannot be compared to its size alone - the father of nature simply raised the tree crowns above the ground to form the origin mountain range of the Ilgona world. The main body completely rose out of the earth's surface and was completely able to break through the atmosphere. That is what it is The world tree that truly supports heaven and earth. But this comparison is meaningless. In any case, the power of this mother tree is still somewhat beyond the warrior's expectations.

While Joshua and Nostradamus were sighing, a huge will was projected from the distant sea to the seaside cliff where everyone teleported. Sensing the arrival of this will, they stood just now The Mirhabs who got up immediately knelt down again, and this time, they knelt down on both knees. It shouted in a respectful tone: "Mother of the Middle Court -"

"Arise, my child..."

The will responded to Milhabus's words gently, and then it turned to Joshua and Nostradamus. To be precise, it focused on the warrior.

"It's you… "

It called softly: "It's the Holy One. We still remember this breath just like yesterday."

"Mother Tree...what should I call you?"

Joshua was not surprised by the other party's strange claim. He just responded calmly in his own mind: "Have you ever seen a sage?"

"You can call me the Mother of the Midgard, but the Mother Tree is fine too, we don't care."

The voice of the mother tree laughed: "To be precise, I haven't, but a part of me has seen the coming of the saint. He has determined the future direction of our family and is the most respectable sacred... Spiritual energy is the soul and memory. The gathering is the product of will and spirit. Psionics are omnipotent. I am the gathering of wills of many atrium psykers and also their information center. Therefore, if one of us has seen it, it can be said that we have seen it. "

Hearing this, Joshua suddenly understood. As a person who comes from the era of information explosion in the universe, he certainly knows the meaning of the mother tree. It is obvious that whether it is the other party's strange self-proclaimed or the aura similar to that of the Father of Nature, it proves that the existence of this mother tree should be the spiritual energy of countless people in the courtyard after death, that is, the product of the gathering of souls, even very It is possible that the so-called mother tree is the destination of all people in the atrium after death, so Milhabs is the supreme consul of the atrium and has such respect for the mother tree, because his future is also to become one of the mother trees.

This is the prototype of a natural father from another world, and it seems that if the psychic link of the people in the Middle Garden is the network, and everyone is the middle end, then this mother tree is their information transfer center, which is the so-called server. .

"It's really strange... Under these conditions, the people of Zhongting have not become a civilization of collective will. Is this also the result of the arrival of the sage back then?"

With this thought in his mind, Joshua didn't say too much nonsense. After all, he didn't come here just to chat. The soldier asked directly: "Since you said you are the information center of the atrium, then tell me, what exactly are you going to face?" What kind of existence.”

"It's so direct, Adventer, do you want to know information about the enemy of the void?"

The will of the mother tree did not seem to be surprised, and its voice became hazy: "The power on you is too powerful. If it were not for the central hall in my body, I would not be able to transmit the complete data to you... But even if So, some basic information is OK.”

"Don't be scared, inheritor of the sage."

"That may be a terrifying existence that you have never seen before."

Joshua the Adventer

current state. Psychic energy is increasing.

I will write down the specific information when I have time... My dad wants me to help him move, which is much harder than moving by myself...
