Just when the Balrog Syndicate was engulfed by the silver light pouring out from the depths of their souls.
In Mycroft's world, Joshua broke the spiritual link with the far side.
"Just think of it as the reward for being my weapon last time."
Saying this to himself, the warrior closed his eyes, and then said to himself, "Wait a minute, Master, what are you talking about?" ! ' She exclaimed and reached out her hand, rubbing the silver-haired girl's head, telling her to shut up and stop talking.
"Don't let me down, my 'first saint'."
—A few days later.
"Are you ready?"
In the suburbs not far from the main city of Moldavia, green grass has begun to sprout. Now you can see that the ground is covered with scattered but full of vibrant green. And in an open plain, Qiao Xiu Ya packed his luggage and asked loudly to the two people behind him.
"Ready, Master!"
As soon as the warrior finished speaking, the black dragon girl responded loudly without hesitation. It could be heard that she was very happy now: "You can set off at any time!"
As he spoke, Hei transformed in a violent flash of magic power and turned into a majestic and huge black dragon. It stretched its wings in the wilderness, then raised its head and let out a huge roar that shook the mountains in the distance.
"Don't get too excited."
Seeing his mount in such high spirits, Joshua was in a good mood. He patted the front paws of the black dragon, then turned to look at the other girl: "No. 3, are you ready?"
"I'm actually ready..."
As the magic power slowly fluctuated, the magic projection of No. 3 slowly appeared beside Joshua. Unlike Hei, who was very happy because he had finished the painful exercise and was rarely able to go out for a spin, the girl looked a little confused at this time. , she said softly: "Do you really want to take me with you? I feel a little shy with my body..."
As he spoke, No. 3 looked at Joshua's right hand. The warrior was carrying a silver steel box, which was covered with dense runes flowing with purple-blue light.
"Of course, in order to ensure that my mental state will not be as distorted as last time, I really need your help to monitor all mental changes."
Joshua replied matter-of-factly: "If it's just projection, the computing power won't be enough, so I have to bring your body with me this time."
"That's true... but in that case, wouldn't the city be able to monitor it?"
"There is no need for such strict monitoring."
Joshua didn't care about No. 3's practical worries. He jumped casually and reached the top of Hei's dragon head. Joshua stood between the two horns of the black dragon. He explained to the artificial intelligence girl who was also floating in the air and standing beside him: "Everything is in order, without any conflicts or contradictions - of course it is good. But you have to think about it. To the city type.”
"The prosperity of Moldavia depends on the adventurers who go to the Great Ajax Mountains and the extraordinary practitioners who admire my power. The conflicts between them should not be resolved by ordinary people's methods. As long as there is no crime The behavior and influence of ordinary people, those adventurers and practitioners who want to fight privately, let them do it, that is their way of life."
Having said this, Joshua seemed to have recalled something and showed a nostalgic expression: "Regardless of men and women, as long as they want to fight, let them decide the winner or loser, otherwise the anger and annoyance will accumulate in the heart, which will cause greater trouble. "
"… Um."
Of course, No. 3 didn’t understand much of Joshua’s logic and explanation, but she knew that the method proposed by Joshua, who was more like an adventurer than a noble, should indeed be better than her rigid monitoring and defense. .
Even artificial intelligence understands that in the face of floods and people's hearts, what is needed is sparing rather than blocking.
The three of them were all ready. After Hei was sure, they were already preparing to take off. The projection of No. 3 was floating in the air, raising its height as the dragon flapped its wings and took off. She looked at it with strange eyes. Joshua held the suitcase in his hand and muttered: "I am there now and here again. This feeling is so strange..."
She rarely uses the projection perspective to see her own body like this. After all, most of the time, the violet rune crystal is placed in the central room at the deepest part of the Lord's Mansion. The only people who can enter there are those around Joshua. Just a few people.
These scattered thoughts eventually disappeared in the wind. Under the instructions of his master, the black dragon that had risen into the clouds used the method that he had just learned, and began to accelerate violently with a long dragon roar. Suddenly, Moore The residents of Davia all looked up, and they saw a black dragon shadow roaring through the clouds, piercing the sky, flying towards the end of the horizon like a black meteor.
Its purpose is to be located in the northeast of the empire, around a fortress located in the mountains.
That is, the location of the mist of divine misfortune.
A few days ago, after communicating with the old Pope Eagle, Joshua planned to go to a location of divine mist to explore the mysteries of the soul. For this reason, he even asked Emperor Israel a few days ago to know where the mist of divine disaster was that had not yet been successfully challenged.
"To be honest, it has been so long, and most of the mist of divine calamity has been broken through by an endless stream of challengers, adding a group of successors to the ancient inheritance in this world."
Israel was not surprised by Joshua's sudden inquiry. At that time, he said to Joshua on the other side of the communication circle in a somewhat helpless tone: "These people who have gained powerful inheritance and power are currently in the empire. The territory was stirred up by wind and rain. After many people returned home, they clashed with the original nobles and official forces... But so far, no one has successfully challenged the mist of divine misfortune around Bolin Fortress, and it is still expanding its scope. I even have no choice but to challenge it. Ordered to use crystal walls to isolate the fog and seal it between the hills."
"Be careful, Joshua, that is not an ordinary divine mist. Compared with other marks, it is not on the same level at all."
His thoughts turned back, and Joshua stood on top of the black dragon, flying rapidly towards the northeast of the empire.
"Boundless Heaven has become increasingly unstable during this period, but even so, the imprints of gods that fall from it are at most second-class existences among the gods of the Glorious Era."
Hei was above the clouds, flying at supersonic speed, while Joshua clasped his hands on his chest, looked straight ahead, and thought in his mind: "But even if he is the second class, he is still a powerful god, and he should be slightly weaker than Xing Zheng. . It is already obvious what kind of existence it is that can create a clear gap with the second-class gods."
"That is the Lord God."
Did the mark of a main god fall prematurely due to some accident? So who is it? The controller of the seas, the mother of the earth? The god who gave birth to storms, or the lord of thousands of rivers? Joshua didn't think so much, he just felt very happy that when he needed it, he was able to find a god-level mist of misfortune. Compared with ordinary gods, the secrets contained in the souls of those gods who once worked side by side with the saints and created the glorious era of the Glory Era are more worthy of exploration.
Hei's speed was very fast, and the clouds and the earth were thrown behind him as if flying. The endless mountains and lakes were stretched into lines, and the violent explosion of air formed a ring of extremely obvious sonic boom clouds behind the black dragon. Under such rapid speed, Joshua and his party quickly arrived at their destination—around the Bolin Fortress located on the east side of the Ural Mountains.
"Is this the divine mist?"
Stomping his feet, he signaled Hei to stop flying and descend slowly. After descending from the clouds, Joshua immediately saw his target: a group spanning several valleys, restrained by a thin water wall. A sea of pale mist between mountains.
It seems like a real ocean. There is no color, and it cannot be described in any language except white. The white fog sea like the empty sky is rolling endlessly among the mountains at this time, and huge waves tens of meters high are surging, it seems. Plan to break through the crystal wall set up by Israel. It has swallowed up several mountains and put all the creatures in them into its own dreamland. Whether they are plants or animals, insects or birds, they are all under its control.
This is the last remnant of the ancient gods after their death, the inheritance imprint left by their souls, the mist called 'God's Era'.
Standing on top of Hei's head, Joshua looked down at the sea of fog. He had already seen a similar scene in Moldavia, where the god of rivers, the mist, was located. It was obvious that the fog around Bolin Fortress was far larger than that of the River God. The soul of Shinur could at most cover a lake, but this one could cover several mountain peaks and the surrounding valleys.
"It's so beautiful."
Looking at the sea of fog churning inside the crystal wall, the warrior sighed with emotion. He stretched out his right hand and grabbed it in the air. Suddenly, the sea of fog rippled, and a few scattered thinking particles broke away from the fog where they were originally, and flew to In Joshua's hand, he looked down at the white luminous particles flying in his hand, his eyes solemn.
How to describe it? Even though thousands of years have passed, this soul has not decayed at all. Even though the spiritual core and thinking center have been destroyed and defeated in the battle, the divinity and body have long since disappeared, but this remaining soul is still full of energy. It is so active that after falling from the boundless heaven to the Mycrov continent, it can turn into the mist of God that can swallow everything.
There are no other adjectives other than extreme, perfect, and incredible. This may be the most perfect form of 'Soul's Ultimate Intent'.
For Joshua, the Divine Mist itself is the best reference target. He raised his hand and continued to gather the thinking particles scattered in the surrounding air. These smallest thinking units of the gods contained mysteries. The warrior used the sight of steel to observe them carefully.
After a while, under the curious eyes of No. 3, Joshua sent the mist in his hand back to the sea of fog below. There is no doubt that this is indeed a realm that his soul warrior has not yet reached. These thoughts Except for attacks using nuclear fusion or even higher levels, the particles will basically not suffer any loss. They can be said to be immortal. If converted into muscles, they are at least at the level of his current degenerate material body.
However, he came here today not to admire the power of the pioneers, nor to imitate the power of these gods. Although with Joshua's legendary control and the power of steel, he could easily use the surrounding divine mist as raw material to convert his soul into an almost equal texture, but he had no intention of doing so.
What Joshua wants is to find.
Find the way to find those gods and elevate their souls to where they are now.
Does it make sense to lament that other people have strong muscles and bodies? No.
Is there any difference between a person who acquires strong muscles through genetic modification and a person who develops a tough body step by step
Although many people will think there is a difference, in fact, there is not. Strength obtained through external force is also strength, and there is no difference from that obtained through hard exercise.
The problem is that the former's level will always remain at the moment after the transformation. Unless he finds a better person to imitate, there will no longer be room for improvement. He avoided all hardships, efforts and most precious experiences. He never knew how to gain this power. If this person's power disappears, he will become weak again and fall from the sky into the mire.
The latter has put in a lot of effort and time. The process of gaining strength is itself the most precious wealth. He has tempered his will and knows how to become stronger. Even if he loses this strength, he can stand up again and climb the mountain he has already climbed. The forged ladder to the sky returns to the clouds and becomes a strong man again.
Moreover, he can also find a way to a stronger and farther place.
Of course, Joshua didn’t intend to be the former. He is strong.
So he ignored the handful of god-level thought particles that were within reach around him, and instead carried the box and stepped on the black dragon's head.
"Down, Black."
He narrowed his eyes, his eyes twinkling: "Don't stay still."
"Let's go inside and have a look."
———
An ancient city suspended in the sky.
Above is the blue sky, below is the endless sea, the wind is howling, and a dozen huge black tornadoes are like giant pillars supporting the sea and sky, moving slowly between the sky and the earth, and a magnificent and majestic ancient city that looks like a work of art. Located in the center surrounded by these tornadoes.
Huge towers and sharp spiers constitute the main body of the city, while countless rotating gears and runes are the base of this ancient city. The huge magical energy obeys the orders of the alchemy machinery and runes, forming a layer of The translucent position isolates all gravity and external winds, allowing the city to float stably in mid-air even when a tornado is raging.
This is an autonomous city. As the runes shine, you can see that the streets in the city can move forward automatically. Pedestrians only need to stand on them to be automatically carried along. Although it looks ancient, it actually contains With extremely advanced technology.
And it is such a city that combines history, technology and art, but now it is mostly in ruins. A large number of towers and buildings collapsed and cracked. Debris and gear debris were scattered in every corner of the street. You could even see traces of something being burned to ashes.
Time seems to have stopped here. The destruction caused by the war a thousand years ago still remains unchanged. Even if the tornado is raging across the sea and sky, this huge floating city still hangs calmly and lonely in the center of the sky, maintaining a silent calm.
And just when everything seemed to last forever.
A black dragon, carrying a human and an artificial intelligence, suddenly appeared above the city.
Time starts to move.
Today I went to the airport to pick up my mother for the Chinese New Year. The update is late...
