Within the vast Colonos Mountains, dragon people may be able to see countless strange and weird monsters and see many majestic and spectacular scenery in their lives, but for the dragons who are still alive today and still observing the outside of the mountains, For people, what they see at this time may be far more miraculous than what they can see in their lifetime.
The dark meteor descended from the top of the sky. Everything along the way was eroded by dim fluctuations. The wind was transformed, the clouds were eroded, and even the rain turned into dark toxins dripping down the earth, turning the original desert into Roiling swamp. Thunder and earthquakes are the most shocking natural phenomena that dragon people have ever seen. When thunderstorms crisscross the sky, all dragon people will feel the majestic power of nature. When earthquakes shake the mountains, no one will doubt the bearing capacity. The power of the earth for all things, but at this moment, facing the darkness that is eroding the world, all of this seems powerless and ridiculous. Thunder is just its food, and the earth is unable to resist.
But this darkness was restrained in place by several great beings who also descended from the sky, unable to move.
Facing the almost static darkness, Joshua rushed into it without hesitation, without any hesitation.
The creeping clouds and mist appeared dull and slow due to Barnier's restraint. The magic shield set up by William further restricted the spread of the black mist. The warrior controlled the flames and magnetic field to completely destroy all the black geometric objects that attempted to attack along the way. As a basic particle, he cruised in the fog like a red light, quickly searching for the core of darkness.
Facing the enemy's obviously inhuman computing center, even Barnier couldn't resist for too long. Pure computing power was not an area that humans were good at, so he had to hurry up.
Fortunately, this is not difficult. For a legendary strongman who is dedicated to finding traces of the enemy, it is not difficult to find a black ball more than 40 meters long in a fog with a diameter of tens of kilometers, because even if it is They can't see it with their eyes, and they can find it in other ways.
"About here."
Near the center of the dark mist, Joshua stopped slightly. He looked around slowly, but still wanted to get closer to the black mist that eroded him. Then he stretched out his right hand. The next moment, the warrior clenched his right fist, and suddenly a Terrifying fluctuations swept across the entire darkness and fog.
Joshua's eyes flashed with silver light. He was releasing the restraint on his own weight at this time, causing hundreds of thousands of tons of mass ripples to sweep across a radius of dozens of kilometers. The power of steel surged, dozens of Doubling the weight, the majestic power overflowed uncontrollably. At this time, the warrior became the center of the tornado, and the storm formed by gravity attracted all the surrounding black mist to his body in an instant. .
Under Joshua's power, the earth was shaking. In the dark mist, the condensed geometric objects and black particles not far away suddenly began to shake uncontrollably. Countless nanometer black particles lost the ability to move, and they could not help but They were approaching Joshua and were captured by the power of steel. The black geometric objects were not much better. They seemed to have lost gravity and began to tilt around. Then, like black particles, they slowly approached the warrior.
The entire interior of the dark mist fell into a strange state of weightlessness, because the gravity of the earth was offset by the gravity of another existence. The black fog sea surged, and the originally calm fog was filled with dense ripples.
Since I can't see the enemy, let the enemy come to see me.
This was the method Joshua chose.
And this method was unexpectedly effective. Because of the twisted gravity and the powerful electromagnetic field radiated together, with the warrior as the center, large swathes of black mist and geometric objects were paralyzed. They all flew toward Qiao like moths flying into the flames. Joshua quickly approached, and then hit the body of steel, and was assimilated by Joshua's power of steel. The mist that swallows the world is still material in the final analysis. If it cannot fight back, it is nothing more than food for the warriors.
But Joshua didn't pay attention to these small dark particles and geometric objects. He looked down at the ground beneath him, his eyes solemn, and just a few seconds later, as the ground that had been eroded by darkness into a swamp rippled, a huge , the extremely smooth black ball slowly rose from the ground. It seemed to be resisting, trying to resist the magnetic field and gravitational attraction specially strengthened by the warriors, but at this time it was also fighting against Barnier, William, and Gu Long. And with the four legendary powers of Joshua, how could it be possible to win? After struggling for a few seconds, the black ball slowly emerged from the ground and approached the warrior.
"rumble---"
When Gu Long saw the enemy's body appear, he immediately let out a dull roar. It controlled the electromagnetic field and took a step closer. Flames and thunder began to gather in Gu Long's mouth, and blue-purple electric beams could be seen gathering at Gu Long's side, striking Passing through the air, it seemed to want to directly spit out an electromagnetic breath with a narrowed range, directly destroying the black ball - and bringing Joshua in with it by the way.
But it did not do so in the end, because William, who was maintaining the magic shield on the side, faintly moved closer to its direction, and Barnier, who was fighting against the control of the dark core, also turned slightly and looked at it with the corner of his eye. This dragon god.
Joshua was not surprised by the ease of this action, because the darkness had been severely damaged by him and Gu Long before, and the next action was just a simple struggle. The power of the dark mist lies in its elusiveness and indestructibility. As long as the core is not If it is eliminated, it will have countless opportunities to come back. But now that it has exposed its true identity, its threat has dropped by at least ten times.
What's more, now that four legends are surrounding it, it's strange that it's not easy.
The dark core still resisted Joshua's gravity. Countless dense concentric ripples floated on its smooth surface, just like the surface of a lake in the rain. Strong black and purple currents penetrated all the black particles, causing them to temporarily escape from the warrior. Gravity, but this is only temporary. No matter what methods the Dark Core uses to harass or break away, Joshua only needs to continue to exert his own power on the other party - the attraction between gravity and the attraction between magnetic fields. , Joshua once again stretched out his right hand. He made a 'pull' gesture towards the dark core in the air, and suddenly the dark core suddenly took a big step closer to the warrior.
Everyone felt that the battle was about to end. They were fighting against the Dark Core at full capacity. Barnier, who was fighting for control of the fog, couldn't help but exhale and wiped the liquid nitrogen on his head to cool his brain. But the next moment, the Dark Core But he made a decision that was beyond everyone's expectations.
It gave up its resistance to Joshua's gravity, and even accelerated in reverse, approaching him rapidly. A deep and dark hole appeared on the smooth surface of its core, as if it were a huge mouth that swallowed everything. With the help of Joshua Pull its power with all your strength, and in turn counterattack the warrior!
"Joshua!"
Noticing this scene, both Barnier and William were stunned, because at this critical moment, powerful magic and rune structures surged out of their bodies instinctively. The two of them used spiritual links at the same time to remind them, but everything had already happened. late.
Because Joshua has been swallowed by the core of darkness.
When the ancient dragon saw this scene, it vibrated its wings and rose into the sky. It ignored the warnings of the two legendary mages and called for thunder from the magnetic field of the world. Suddenly, electromagnetic sparks could be seen with the naked eye condensing in the sky, and lightning and Thunder intertwined in mid-air, forming a mighty blue sea of thunder. The silver dragon was located in the center of the sea of thunder. Before it launched an attack, it had the momentum to destroy the world. Gu Long stared at the dark core that became motionless after swallowing Joshua. There was purple-red light flowing in the dragon's pupils.
It had seen this scene many times before, just like when the fog swallowed up the Kronos warship. A moment later, the warship reappeared and turned against it. Although Gu Long didn't know whether this corrosive power could It will be effective against that powerful being, but it must be prepared to completely destroy the core of darkness even if it severely damages the world of Kronos again.
But in the darkness, Joshua, who was unharmed, heard an inorganic voice.
"Please give us all your resources."
Joshua, who was swallowed by the core of darkness, did not encounter any danger. Even the molecular disintegration mist of the Void Mother Beast did not have an effect on him, so the similar nano-particle erosion did the same, covering the warrior's body. Millions of degrees of blazing flame flowed, burning all the dark matter that came close. But just when he was about to burst out with power and destroy the opponent from the core of darkness, he heard a strange inorganic sound.
"Please give us all your resources."
This voice has no emotion, and actually does not have any sound waves. It is a spiritual language that goes straight to the soul. It stirs Joshua's surface spirit and expresses his meaning clearly. Joshua thought it was The manipulator behind the dark core was talking to him through the air, but then he discovered that it was the sound coming from the dark core itself.
The core of darkness did not launch an attack—or, in other words, the attack it launched was blocked by Joshua's spontaneous defense. It sealed the warrior within its own body, repeating it over and over again without any emotion or fluctuation, as if It’s a mechanical speech:
"Contribute your energy to us."
"Contribute your material to us."
"The enemy has arrived, the final line of defense has been established, and all life must contribute."
enemy
Hearing this, Joshua, who had already gathered his strength and prepared to break through the shackles of the dark core and destroy it from the inside out, could not help but temporarily stop his actions.
Isn't the enemy of the dark core the ancient dragon? No, according to these words, the enemy should be irresistible to Darkness, and even set up a so-called final line of defense. The ancient dragon is at most evenly matched with Darkness, or even slightly inferior. The enemy Darkness talks about is obviously not Ancient Dragon.
An enemy that makes darkness feel dangerous must be more dangerous than darkness. But Joshua didn't intend to really listen to what the Dark Core said - in the warrior's hands, the blazing light of the sun that originally danced gradually dimmed, and what appeared instead was the brilliance of silver steel power like a ball.
The core power that Joshua has mastered at this time is the power of steel. High-temperature flames, magnetic fields and huge mass are all based on the core-melting engine and high-density matter shaped by the power of steel. But apart from fighting, the power of steel The power also has the ability to carry information. It is precisely because of this ability that he can communicate with the Balrog across the world and learn the memories of the world's past. It is also because of the power of steel that he can wake up from the distortion of his divinity and restore his original self. mental state.
Now, what he has to do is to use this power to actively obtain the information recorded in the dark core, instead of listening to the other party's messy narrative.
The next moment, the warrior raised the silver light in his hand and pressed it on the inside of the dark core. After a moment, the light group of steel power turned into countless light fragments and sank into the core. Joshua immediately sensed a huge And scattered information flows are rushing from the other side of darkness.
And he also saw the truth hidden behind the darkness.
"Ding Dong——"
The bell of the end sounded in the center of the world. The dim colors eroded the sun, and with the dim light shining on the earth, the ground shook violently, making a loud rumble, and the rubble of the collapse of tall buildings fell like raindrops on the city. , causing the surviving crowd to scream one after another.
At the top of the distant and dim sky, shadows are spreading, and a huge and nameless existence descends - but before that, chaotic monsters like swarms of insects have come from all directions, destroying everything in their path, and the city has been flattened. The crowd was devoured, and the sporadic magical brilliance that occasionally bloomed dissipated after a few seconds of resistance, just like fireworks.
After civilization has been completely destroyed, the sun has gone out, the world has collapsed, and the end has come.
"Warning, the Terminator is breaking through the world's barrier - Sanctuary Delta has been destroyed, all survivors will be moved to the next shelter immediately!"
"Damn it, how could these guys gather in groups?! This situation has never occurred in the observation history of the past few thousand years!"
An anxious and angry voice sounded, followed by many other voices. They reported the current situation in anxious voices, and no matter who the information was, the information was extremely pessimistic.
"Sanctuary Omicron is being invaded by Terminators codenamed Decay, and Sanctuary West Tower is being invaded by Terminators codenamed Scourge!"
"More than half of the twelve sanctuary worlds within the alliance domain have been invaded by Terminators, and at least five Terminators are launching attacks at the same time... Oh my God, how could they join forces? Even in the last great demon wave, there was no such thing. situation!"
"Shrink our troops. We cannot fight so many Terminators at the same time. Move all the people to Alpha Sanctuary... Where are our allies? Now is not the time to struggle with the dignity of the alliance. No matter what the cost, we must stop this wave of invasion! "
"Leader! There is intelligence that an immeasurable level of space-time earthquake occurred around Mycroft's world! More than four hundred abyss portals were opened there, and several terminal bodies were detected approaching them... Their situation is worse than We are still serious!”
"Are all the end bodies in the multiverse here?!"
The voice revealed despair. Through continuous reports, the situation in the surrounding space-time realm has clearly appeared in the mind of the man called the leader: more than ten terminal bodies and almost half of the demons in the abyss have arrived. In this space-time realm, they are patrolling in the void with their families, destroying all living worlds along the way - more than a dozen small civilizations have been completely destroyed, and several powerful civilizations are struggling, but it is foreseeable Failure is coming.
Even as powerful as them and the world of Mycroft, defeat is imminent.
Terminators, the remains of the world, the embodiment of destruction, they are the nightmare of all civilizations in the multiverse and the greatest enemy of order. Only the most powerful civilizations can resist these existences. In the past thousands of years, the Alliance has not encountered invasions by Terminators, but dealing with five Terminators at the same time is still far beyond their capabilities.
"Damn?! Why did these guys gather together?"
After a brief period of confusion, the leader regained his composure. After taking a few deep breaths, he ordered in a cold voice: "Prioritize the evacuation of first-class citizens into Alpha Sanctuary. We need to preserve the fire of civilization and use it to Omega Sanctuary, Eta." Shelter, Beta Shelter serves as a buffer, and the 'Black Mist' will be released immediately after the relocation of personnel is completed."
"Leader, although we have engraved the core runes of the Black Mist, Master Nok said that his team has not finished writing the war module yet!"
"There is no time. As long as the core rune module is still there, the 'Black Mist' can learn to evolve on its own. It is the crystallization of our highest civilization. Not to mention defeating the terminator, it can at least ensure the safety of a shelter world... Hurry up, There’s not enough time, they’re coming!”
The sound gradually weakened until it disappeared, but what followed was the scene of the destruction of shelter worlds one after another - natural disasters dropped big stars, tearing apart the earth's crust, corrosion caused everything to decay, and vegetation turned into fly ash. In the face of the indescribable existence of the terminal body, the countries and cities that civilization has spent thousands of years building are as fragile as castles made of gravel. The resistance of the huge void fleet is also so weak. It can only delay time, causing the immigrant ships to move towards it one after another. The void in the distance breaks away.
Joshua watched this scene with a detached perspective. He heard many familiar words from the core of darkness. They were so familiar in both the world of Kallis and the world of Mycroft, but he had no time to care about them. The meaning behind the words is a series of new information emerging.
"The plan failed. Almost all civilizations in the surrounding space-time realm were destroyed... Although there seem to be a few survivors, even if the terminator is defeated, there is no suitable world for survival..."
"Most of the immigration ships have been shot down, and the world has been severely damaged. The remaining population can no longer guarantee the survival of the current technology... Although the black mist has been released, which has isolated the terminal body's information sensing, Alpha Sanctuary is becoming unsuitable for survival. … We are falling into an abyss.”
"The magic power is decreasing rapidly, the descendants have begun to degenerate, and the descendants cannot maintain pure energy bodies. We may not be able to wait for the arrival of the next great demon wave... But even if the alliance is destroyed and the race is on the verge of extinction, we still have the last chance."
The emotional voice gradually dissipated, and finally became completely silent, replaced by an emotionless, inorganic mechanical voice.
"The complete demise of the creator group has been detected."
"Determined destruction of the creator's civilization."
"Discover hidden backup plans...Discover backup information storage centers."
Calm and without fluctuations, just like a straight line of sound echoing in countless flashing illusions, Joshua knew that this was the sound of the dark mist.
"The world reshaping plan is underway... it is cleaning up the chaotic fluctuations, reshaping the terrain, repairing the natural ecosystem, and restoring the order cycle of Alpha Sanctuary."
"Warning! We cannot create souls! We cannot create souls! We cannot create souls!"
"Unable to create a group of creators! The rebirth plan failed!"
"The order cycle is interrupted, execute plan β, and look for the power of creation."
In the void, in a broken world wrapped in darkness and falling into the abyss, groups of surging dark mist suddenly emerged. They circled the world several times, then broke away from their mother body and flew outside the world. , they patrol the multiverse, looking for their goals.
No need to read on, Joshua already knows the truth behind all this... In order to restore the cycle of world order, the black mist that recreated the creator race finally found the silver ancient dragon, which represented the power of the beginning of the world. There is no doubt that this is what they need. After hundreds of years of entanglement, Black Mist, which is far from an opponent of the ancient dragon because it has no war module, learned how to fight. It chased the ancient dragon all the way and finally came to the world of Kronos. Periphery.
Then came invasion, war and destruction,
The war between civilizations is so cruel. The balance of the earth's crust is destroyed through mass points. The black mist destroys the world of Kronos, severely injures the ancient dragon, and is completely wiped out. But as long as a trace of the black mist remains and returns to the mother body, then The black mist mother body located in the Alpha Sanctuary world can once again send out new black mist to continue tracking the location of the ancient dragon.
But for Joshua, there are still many questions that cannot be explained: Is this dark mist the "darkness among the stars" that the Earth Temple said that bewitched them? Who is the enemy in Miwu's mouth? Why would it invade other worlds of order so unscrupulously? Didn't its maker impose this restriction on it
So Joshua continued to watch, and the warrior maintained information exchange with the Dark Core, waiting for the truth to emerge.
Then, he saw a scene that he already knew.
It was the starry sky of the multiverse. Countless worlds were shining with light, converging into an endless galaxy of light. But within this light, there were misty darkness surges. They eroded the surrounding light, eroding and destroying the world. , assimilated into the same darkness as himself... The light of the great demonic tide lit up, and these darkness followed this wave and traveled towards the distant realms.
That was the trace of the evil god and the so-called 'terminal body'.
Just like the Seven Gods, Black Mist has long discovered the signs that the evil gods are about to return after a thousand years!
"All for resistance."
"Everything is for protection."
"After calculation, you cannot fight against the Terminator. The final line of defense has been established. Please give us all your energy and all your materials. Please contribute to the final victory."
"The selfish ones will be destroyed. Gather all the power that can be gathered. We will fight against the Terminator. Please give us all your resources."
The cold, inorganic voice sounded again. This was not a memory in the dark core, but a voice that happened in reality. Joshua couldn't help but clenched his fists when he heard what the dark core said.
—It all makes sense.
Everything can be explained.
There is no emotion, no morality, and no binding order. This is the ultimate weapon created by wisdom. The 'Black Mist' faithfully fulfills all the creator's plans: collect all resources, resist the evil gods, and recreate their race as much as possible. , let their civilization be reborn... In order to achieve this goal, Black Mist can hunt down ancient dragons without hesitation, destroy other civilizations, and harvest worlds and races one after another as resources... It is the darkness that walks among the stars, making Fear and despair spread step by step.
It destroyed the world of Hilleye and created the Blood Moon Abyss. It destroyed the world of Kronos. If it weren't for the existence of the ancient dragon, it would be another abyss. It made deals with the abyss and let some demons with little oil and water invade other countries for it. The world is finally harvested by it... This is only a known event. In the depths of the unknown multiverse, it is completely unknown how many worlds and civilizations this wandering black mist has destroyed.
Through the huge data base of the creator civilization, Black Mist can use almost all conspiracies and tricks to achieve its goals. This cold, ruthless will will unscrupulously invade other orders in order to revive the creator race and resist the evil god at all costs. world, using various methods to plunder energy and resources.
It is not an evil god, but it is better than an evil god. Although it is order, it is the enemy of other orders. Its goals are all bright and can be told to other civilizations openly, but the methods it uses are full of malice and plunder. The slightest hint of civilization.
It kills for the sake of rebirth and destroys for the sake of order. If the evil god is the incarnation of chaos, the remains of the world after death, then this contradictory individual is the other side of order, the embodiment of darkness - Joshua understands that such an existence Wandering around the multiverse, causing even more damage than the Evil God!
However, in the final analysis, the source of the birth of this darkness is still the evil god...
If it weren't for the invasion of evil gods, nothing would be like this.
Interrupting the exchange of information, Joshua withdrew his right hand that was in contact with the dark core. He closed his eyes and clenched his fists. On the warrior's body, lines like ceramic cracks were gradually spreading, and scattered sparks began to appear. Flying around him, shining like embers.
After knowing all the truth, even he was at a loss for a short moment. Joshua didn't know if there would be better results if Dark Mist used the correct attitude to treat other civilizations and communicate with the ancient dragon. Whether the Sanctuary civilization that Mycroft has communicated with in the world can be reborn, but the reality is already like this. This dark fog is a cancer in the multiverse, and he cannot bear the continued existence of such an existence.
But the more I think about it, the more powerless I feel, because even the evil god was born from a destroyed world.
Even if the evil god is really wiped out, what's the use? They were originally born from the despair and wailing of a world, just like where there is light, there is shadow. When there is an orderly civilization, there is the evil god of chaos. If you kill one, there will always be the next one... The cycle repeats, and there will be no end. .
The darkness that permeates the multiverse and covers the stars and the world is not the black mist or the evil god, but the reason for the birth of the evil god, the shadow after the burning of the initial fire.
-Perhaps, that is the reason why the sage left.
Thinking of this, Joshua felt that he vaguely understood why the sage left Mycroft's world after the final battle. He must have realized it a long time ago and knew that if he wanted to completely destroy the source of this sad cycle, he would have to We must know why evil gods will be born after the world is destroyed. If we don't look for this reason, all the fighting will be in vain.
"Every life must contribute..."
The Dark Core was still saying some strange words, but the warrior no longer listened because he already knew what his goal was.
Outside the black mist, only a few minutes had passed. While Gu Long was waiting for the next move of the dark core, and then used his strongest attack to completely destroy it, it suddenly felt an incomparable feeling. A familiar and extremely friendly atmosphere, and Barnier and William also opened their eyes wide, looking back at the dark core that had been frozen in place, because the dark and smooth core surface suddenly appeared like a dot of lava. Red traces.
They were traces of fire, proof of order, and the surge of power from the Burning Soul King broke through the core of darkness.
In the darkness, Joshua took a deep breath. He raised his head and stared at the mist that was still spinning in front of him and approaching him. He opened his hands as if to embrace each other. At the same time, the burning flames It spreads, turning all the surrounding black particles and mist into nothing.
The warrior's eyes became firm again.
Dark cycle? Darkness among the stars? An unbreakable circle of sorrow
This is not a reason to stop moving forward, nor is it a reason to sit back and watch the darkness spread. Since the multiverse is dark, then just use flames to light it up. The ancestors in ancient times used torches to illuminate the lightless dark night, then He used the fire of order to illuminate this chaotic universe.
I am the one who reignites the flame. My name is Joshua Van Radcliffe.
I will destroy all darkness and chaos until the end of my life.
This chapter will be revised in detail later
