Zhongting Star, the edge of the Far East Continent, the deep seabed around the Maelstrom Abyss.
As a gap opened in the space, strong spiritual energy fluctuations were released. Joshua broke away from the body of the mother tree and came to a huge underwater space supported by the other party's spiritual energy.
This is because if Joshua wants to construct a psychic jump engine in his body, he must reveal his true form. Although the mother tree is huge, it is impossible for a huge giant hundreds of meters tall to use it at will inside his body. With all its strength, it used its own power to prop up an open semicircular seabed space with a diameter of about ten kilometers on the edge of the East Sea in the Atrium Star for the use of warriors.
"Chi-boom!"
With a burst of crimson light, Joshua untied the shackles on his own power without hesitation, and at this moment, the scorching high temperature spread along with the twisted heat wave, blocking the psychic wall several kilometers away. The seawater directly vaporized, and countless bubbles rushed toward the sea level with the boiling seawater, causing a dark red high-temperature area to appear on the sea surface, and countless dead fish spread toward the surroundings with a cooked smell.
boom. Both feet stepped firmly on the solid rock shell of the seabed. The sediment and remains of seabed creatures that had accumulated for thousands of years were blown away by the huge power released by Joshua's manifested body. Now, standing on the earth It is a 400-meter-tall, golden-red, four-armed steel giant. A layer of misty silver light flows all over his body, and layers of complex and philosophical regular stripes emerge and disappear in it, revealing an indestructible meaning.
But this time was different from the past. After a few seconds, with a squeaking sound like steel being quenched, the golden-red shell of the four-armed steel giant cooled down instantly, turning into a mixture of silver and black stripes, with only the giant's heart There was a circle of flickering golden light everywhere, and beneath it there was heat so powerful that it seemed to be able to burn all matter that it was beating steadily, causing ripples to appear in the surrounding space.
Joshua knew that the change in his appearance was because he had completely mastered his own power. The original golden-red shell of the Steel Giant and the high temperature of thousands of degrees on the body surface were because he could not control the molten core in his body. The huge energy created by the heart furnace, so the overflowing energy is released in the form of visible light and heat, turning him into a human-shaped sun. In fact, the warrior had already controlled this power, but due to the gathering of people in the courtyard, the power originally used to open the void door was seized by the will of the ruler of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Field and blessed on him, causing his power to suddenly become too powerful. Strong, now unable to control it for a moment.
After standing firm, Joshua originally wanted to start transforming himself immediately, but before he could take action, he just put a little force on his feet, and with a cracking sound, the crust under his feet suddenly shattered. Countless sedimentary rocks turned into fine powder-like quicksand like biscuits, trying to swallow the warrior into the ground. Fortunately, Joshua reacted quickly and immediately formed a position with his own strength, roughly blocking the gravity. This prevented him from being submerged due to his weight. The center of the earth.
"Sure enough, after the real body was strengthened by spiritual energy, it became so heavy that it was comparable to a large asteroid."
At this point, Joshua had to sigh—Joshua, now in the form of a steel giant, has an outer layer of skin made of an extremely thin layer of ultra-dense degenerate matter. From a microscopic perspective, it is completely composed of dense neutrons. Composed of protons, 90% of his steel power is used on it. Because of this, this extremely thin shell can almost isolate the penetration of all energy from the outside world. Even the assimilation of the plague evil god's family can't do anything. .
But even this powerful defense is just a superficial appearance. The most powerful function of this steel shell is far more than that. Its most important power is to absorb external energy and temporarily gather the surrounding material to increase Self-quality, it can be said that if the enemy's attack does not reach a certain level, such as the gamma rays of the Demon Lord Helm, then it is to deliver food to Joshua, and the attack that robs the energy will make the power of steel Spontaneously assimilates the surrounding dust, earth and rocks to increase its mass. This is also the reason why Joshua will gain countless times in weight as soon as he changes into his real body, because he has released the shackles of the melting core furnace, and the huge The energy charges the Force of Steel, causing huge changes in mass, especially when enhanced by the psychic powers of the Midgardians.
"There are actually system messages at this time?"
After roughly controlling his power, Joshua suddenly discovered something interesting: "It actually appeared again, long time no see."
He turned his attention to the system, but as always, the warrior still couldn't find the source of the system. Even with the legendary powerhouse's meticulous observation and control, he couldn't find where the opponent came from.
[The Advent-Joshua Van Radcliffe]
[Status: Visitors from foreign lands, spiritual power ascends]
[Visitor from abroad: You are not a native of this world, but unexpectedly, this world does not reject you, and actively welcomes you as if you are a guest. The process of 'adapting to another world' is cancelled, and the 'aboriginal' label is temporarily added.]
[—This is not like returning to my hometown. It just becomes your hometown.]
[Spiritual Ascension: Thousands of people are calling for your arrival, and you are here for this reason. For some special reason, the energy that should have restrained your actions has been completely blessed on you, causing your strength to be greatly increased. Your temporary basic attributes have increased significantly, and some skill levels have increased.]
[—Beyond the curtain, infinite power.]
Originally, there should be some lists about age, attributes and charm at the back, but now they have all turned into complete gibberish, with strange patterns like the most complicated and difficult magic runes at the bottom of the system. It flashes back and forth, and the chaos is more serious than before.
"With my true body fully releasing the power of steel, this system has almost completely collapsed..."
Joshua could not help but sigh as he looked at the system, which only had a short paragraph of legible text, but often suffered glitches like poor contact. However, precisely because of this, the system's response gave the warrior a rough idea of the nature of its existence. With certain guesses, it must be some kind of existential power, so it is affected by the power of steel, which is also a basic power. But now is not the time to care about the trivial system. Joshua, who has solved all other things, clenched his right lower arm into a fist. A hazy silver light flashed on the solid steel arm, and the next moment, he put this His right hand pressed on his chest, which was shining with golden light.
"boom!!!"
It seemed as if some valve had been opened, and some seal had been unlocked. Along with the rumbling sound like a torrent of rivers, the high-density material shell covering the outer layer of Joshua's body suddenly acted like a lid, and was covered by that... The right hand opened, and a huge gap nearly a hundred meters long and dozens of meters wide appeared, revealing the extremely complex extraordinary organs in Joshua's body that were completely composed of various strange half-energy and half-matter structures.
At this time, Joshua, because the power of steel has not been completely assimilated to his body, the inside of his body is actually somewhat similar to that of a human being - the skeleton that supports the giant's body uses divinity as the marrow and high-density material as the bones, as if burning The red steel-like muscle structure is completely composed of the power of steel woven into a spiral shape mixed with unknown extraordinary substances. They cover the skeleton that shines with silver brilliance, connecting various strange organs inside the body, and The most important organ is the huge nuclear melting reactor located in the center of the giant's body, which was originally the heart.
The energy reactor, which is like a ball and has a crimson molten core, simulates the self-explosion of a molten star, and is producing a huge flow of energy all the time. The liquid energy drives every organ and muscle in the body, creating enough energy to The power that allowed Joshua to easily move mountains and reclaim land from the sea. Joshua has long used the power of steel to recode the genetic information and material structure in his body. Now, 99% of the material in his body is equivalent to micron or even cell-level high-strength machinery. He has completely discarded the rest of the information and structure, leaving only the aspects that are most conducive to combat and survival. Now in terms of pure physical strength alone, the warrior has been able to directly lift a small piece of the continental shelf and create a huge artificial Island.
All of this makes the appearance of the Steel Giant become more and more ferocious, and at the same time, it also becomes more and more perfect and simple in the beauty of the future.
"Except for the true form of the Thousand-Eyed Snake, Lord Helm of the Beholder, I have not actually fought against other legendary powerhouses at full strength, but from the current perspective, if I am sublimating myself step by step The incarnation of immortal and perfect steel, then it is probably the ultimate pursuit of 'energy condensation'."
Realizing his powerful power, Joshua now has a new understanding of the legendary realm: "For the beholder, the shape of the body, the number and size of the eyes, and even whether there are eyes or not, it doesn't matter, because Their essence is that they are born with the ability to manipulate energy, that is, extraordinary creatures with primitive ray magic - Helm's study of gamma rays is one of the most correct paths for beholders, and it is not surprising that it can become a legend."
As for the appearance of the snake, it is easy to understand. After all, whether it is a human body or a weird body like other demons, it is not conducive to the condensation of energy. The long body can form a structure that condenses energy like a particle accelerator, and then The destructive power of gamma rays is maximized. Joshua believes that if Helm can, he will definitely transform his form into a form similar to that of Ouroboros, thereby endlessly looping the process of energy condensation to form a 'singularity' level of destructive power.
To put it bluntly, the extraordinary way is nothing more than compressing the natural evolution that a race can achieve in tens of millions or even billions of years, or even impossible, into just a few decades or hundreds of years through self-sharpening, energy absorption, and directional breakthroughs. Internally, the two realms of ultimate intention and legend are this kind of leap in self-evolution, which fully present the 'way of self' in one step, and then become the pinnacle of the life system. Therefore, every powerful person at the pinnacle of legend can be regarded as the forerunner and achiever of the final evolutionary path of his original race. They abandoned the inefficient and slow method of natural evolution and directly reached the final step of life.
Natural evolution is a beast with simple thinking. It follows the only path and rushes to the end that has been determined for a long time. The extraordinary way is to master the trajectory of self-evolution. Countless people have countless uncertain paths, and then reach the final step through thousands of years of hard work.
"Unfortunately, the extraordinary way passed down in the Mycroft Continent is actually not perfect. Not only the Mycroft Continent, but also the existences that have reached this point in the currently known multiverse seem to be imperfect."
Thinking of this, Joshua couldn't help but sigh.
Legend uses extraordinary power to span hundreds of millions of years, directly from ordinary people to super beings. This step is really too fast and too big, and too much is ignored. In addition, the extraordinary way itself is not a perfect evolution. System, it really places too much emphasis on individual talents and ignores the power of civilization. Therefore, the current legendary powerhouses are not actually perfect super life forms. Otherwise, the legends can be completely transformed simply by breeding descendants. The bloodline of a race directly sublimates that race into a 'god' in the eyes of ordinary races, instead of being reproductively isolated from ordinary life as it is now, and its lifespan is far from perfect immortality.
"Compared with Helm's reliance on energy to condense the physical body and use it to imitate the particle accelerator to condense gamma rays, my steel power body is essentially created for better fighting."
"Strong, extremely difficult to destroy, and versatile in all worlds. In addition, you can also load a variety of special structures, the so-called plug-ins, to better conduct targeted operations. This is in line with my nature. Instinct form.”
In the right hand pressing on the core of the core, there was a beating silver light condensed. Joshua inserted this hand into his body cleanly, letting the light spread like thunder and lightning through his various organs, muscles and bones. . In an instant, the entire undersea space turned into a silver ocean of energy. The energy flow, which was so powerful that even the Atrium Fleet in the universe sounded an alarm, rippled in the depths of the East Sea of Atrium Star. Every time it flickered, it illuminated the surrounding space. , among the lightning and flint, one could see that the parts of Joshua's body that were touched by the lightning were turned into countless ashes-like silver particles. These particles flew in accordance with the energy fluctuations, and outlined a pattern of incomparable patterns on the warrior's right hand. It seems to be a trajectory like a mechanical blueprint.
The realm of material reorganization!
At this time, Joshua was decomposing some of the organs and muscles in his body, and then reorganizing them into a new existence. This was accompanied by frightening unstable energy fluctuations that even the mother tree felt. A particle with a diameter of about four A huge crystal ball of about fifteen meters appeared under the warrior's heart furnace, and a series of golden-red spiral pipes connected the two, instilling a substantial flow of energy. The charging crystal shines with an inexplicable silver-blue light. It is connected to the heart and releases spiritual energy fluctuations that are powerful enough to distort reality. Being swept by this fluctuation, the seafloor crust within a radius of ten kilometers seems to be lost. Gravity generally lifts up countless rocks and dust. They rise and fall with the fluctuations, and the amplitude of their rise and fall is as unpredictable as thinking.
Joshua Type I psionic jump engine, loaded!
After achieving this step, Joshua took out his right hand, and layers of metalized flesh and blood re-covered and filled the original area, and then a high-density shell was formed again. Cooperating with Joshua's information processing and control capabilities that have already penetrated into the microscopic level of matter, he can already use the power of steel to directly decompose and reorganize the material structure in his body. This ability can actually be used for offense, but it requires time to analyze. It was really too long. If the warrior was really given that long time to analyze, he would have killed the opponent dozens of times with his fists.
All in all, after thoroughly analyzing the psychic engine of the Midgardians, Joshua also has a unique psychic jump engine in his body. The output of this engine has not been tested, but the simulation experiment is good, and the warrior predicts His transmission length should be about two to three times that of the ordinary atrium fleet, which is two to three times the speed.
"The extremely condensed spiritual energy is turned into a one-dimensional long line, creating a spiritual vacuum, and the entire ship resonates with the spiritual energy and is transmitted directly to the end of the one-dimensional long line... It is indeed a spiritual energy. Ability is truly a magical spiritual ability that is as magical as thinking."
Feeling the powerful power and peculiar operation method of the psychic jump engine, Joshua couldn't help but nodded in admiration. The civilization of the Zhongting people is indeed very magical. It is completely different from ordinary technological civilization. Even if it is as huge as the mother tree, The limit extension of spiritual power is nothing more than covering a planet, but if this power is turned into a one-dimensional long line, even the power of a battleship can be extended to hundreds of billions of kilometers away in an instant, and with Joshua With his power, it is not impossible to extend spiritual energy to trillions of kilometers.
"The only thing you need to be careful about is to be careful not to accidentally teleport to the interior of the planet or the sun... The teleportation on a cosmic scale is okay, but if it is teleportation within the galaxy, it is too dangerous. It is better to just use flying."
The huge spiritual energy not only satisfies the basic requirements for the operation of the jump engine, but also brings a special sense to Joshua. He can now feel the spiritual energy around him like a person in the atrium, just like feeling the presence of air. At a glance, the warrior could see the spiritual light that the mother tree filled the sky and earth, releasing like the sun. This energy was far inferior to him even in the spiritually ascended state, but this huge power was extremely loose, and there was no trace of it at all. Condensation, which greatly reduces the combat effectiveness of the mother tree. Now, the mother tree, which is the aggregation of the will of countless psychics, is fearful and wary of itself, but Joshua understands the other party's feelings. He knew that this was just a simple instinctive fear and avoidance of those who were too dangerous. Generally speaking, they were still friendly.
In addition to leaping, the existence of the psychic engine also greatly strengthens Joshua's power. The original high-density body shell of the warrior was shaped to correspond to the power of Mycroft's world. It cannot completely block this strange phenomenon of psychic energy. energy, which also allowed even psykers of Milhabs' level to see through Joshua's terrifying power before. But now, through previous self-adaptation and reconstruction, the warrior's shell has been able to withstand psychic scanning, and even battleship-level radar cannot scan him.
This is the way Joshua chooses to evolve - through constant imitation and assimilation of new systems to strengthen himself, just like a primitive star absorbing foreign asteroids to increase its own mass, he can continue to experience new civilizations and energy systems Come and become stronger.
"Now when my shell is penetrated, it will even release terrifying energy like nuclear fission or even nuclear fusion... It is completely a fusion reactive armor in a sense."
Joshua clenched his four fists and waved them. Suddenly, the huge power stirred the air under the sea, forming strange tornadoes. He nodded with satisfaction: "If you encounter the previous battle on the Holy Mountain now, If the Earth Divine Sword strikes directly, I can directly block it with my external armor alone, instead of having to use all my strength to deflect it like before."
If he went one step further, Joshua estimated that even the gamma ray cannon would not be able to penetrate Helm's outer armor if he did not go all out. He can even take it with his face. At that time, it can be called neutron star reactive armor, and perhaps black hole reactive armor, but that is too far away.
At this moment, the mother tree also felt the violent spiritual energy fluctuations coming from Joshua's body. Its will descended and asked cautiously: "The descender of the curtain... have you finished?"
"Yes, it's done." Joshua nodded casually. From beginning to end, he spent almost a whole day studying the nature of the psychic engine and the Void Mother Beast. This speed is enough for ordinary people. It is incredibly fast, but for him who is good at assimilation simulation, it is just right. After all, a warrior does not need to understand the operation method of the psychic engine from beginning to end. He only needs to know how to use it, the principles and so on. , you can think about it slowly in the future.
"Your friend, another descendant from the other side of the veil, created a space storm of unprecedented scale in the center of the Far East Continent. He seems to have found a way to use his own power to jump, and he completed it earlier than you."
The voice of the mother tree sounded a little emotional. This was inevitable. It took the people of Zhongting thousands of years to find a way to go to the stars and sail in the universe. As a result, these super beings from the other side of the void only took about a day. It accomplished the same thing within a short period of time. Although it knew that both Joshua and Nostradamus could achieve such exaggerated things by standing on their shoulders, it still couldn't help but want to sigh.
"Nostradamus is a legendary mage of the space-time system. He can even teleport originally. He just adapted to your local energy and space constants. He can teleport faster than me who relies on entity analysis and can barely use tools to teleport. It’s a normal thing.”
Joshua smiled. He did not discuss this topic too much. The warrior said directly: "I feel the tension and urgency in your spiritual energy... Tell me, Mother Tree, is it the Void Mother Beast?" Something strange happened again.”
"indeed so."
The will of the mother tree hesitated for a while, and then replied simply and neatly: "The remaining fleets of the Garden of Flowers and the Garden of Roots have merged with the fleet of the Second Garden of Leaves. They have returned to the colonial star for repairs, but at the same time , but the psychic radar scanned huge space-time distortion fluctuations - the space-time trajectory of the mother beast chasing them is warping space... "
"In short, the situation is critical. Your last colonial star is about to be invaded by the mother beast?"
Joshua did not let the mother tree continue speaking. He interrupted the other party. At the same time, the huge four-armed steel giant slowly shrank, and finally returned to the image of a human warrior wearing black armor. He was calm and He said calmly: "Then don't say much, just tell me where the Void Mother Beast is now, and send the time and space coordinates quickly."
"I'm leaving."
Just think of yesterday's chapter and today's chapter as two chapters merged...
I posted the picture in the group. It is true that there was a problem with my backend and I couldn’t upload it. Yesterday, the big brother from Qidian’s technical department helped to update it...
