—It’s too much.
This was not the first time that Joshua was surprised by the power mastered by the legends, but the spirit-to-matter conversion rune displayed by Faina really shocked him again.
There is no doubt that this is the extraordinary world's version of mass-energy conversion, and it sounds like an enhanced version with a soul... This sage from the East China Sea is truly a serious caster, and in this regard he is not inferior to other worlds. of peers.
It’s no wonder that Barnier and the others said that if all the knowledge mastered by Legend could be universalized, then the world of Mycroft would be able to conquer the void, let alone enter the void.
At this time, Joshua couldn't help but recall what the two legendary mages said before. He nodded in agreement - if the Mycroft civilization has the technical strength to generalize and civilianize all the powers mastered by the legends, then It is indeed not difficult to create another Glory Era. It can even be said that it will only be a matter of time before the Starfall Era surpasses the Glory Era. The only thing that is blocking the arrival of this era is probably the common people's low awareness of extraordinary power and insufficient education.
A truly extraordinary civilization.
Thinking of this, Joshua fully understood Israel's original wish for revolution - His Majesty the Emperor must have seen this a long time ago, so he has been supporting Nostradamus in spreading extraordinary power to the entire empire. All classes, because true genius cannot be cultivated by an elite aristocratic class. It must be obtained through centralized education of the entire population of an empire and through the elimination of a large talent base.
"This technology is too valuable, Ms. Faina. I don't think the coordinates of the star world are worth your exchange."
Although Joshua was very tempted, he still expressed his opinion frankly. He sat in the big chair, put his hands on the armrests, and said calmly: "But it just so happens that I have many coordinates of other worlds of life here."
"Really?" The sage lady who could calmly say such things as dissecting her own body raised her brows slightly. She seemed to want to say something, and finally sighed: "Maybe I did suffer a bit... But it doesn’t matter, I just want what I want, whether it’s worth it or not is none of my business.”
At this time, Faina was indeed worthy of her name as a sage and was extremely open-minded about such things. Joshua also saw that the spiritual clone of the other party seemed to be dissipated at any time, so he could only shrug and said: "As for the transaction, Fairness is the most important thing... You want the coordinates of the living world? Then take it."
After finishing speaking, the warrior raised his right hand and raised his index finger. The top of his finger flashed with silver light, and a trace of steel power contained a large amount of coordinate information and flowed to Faina.
"... So many? You have actually been to so many living worlds? There is also an abyss. Is there a world of life in the abyss?"
Faina didn't take it seriously at first. She thought Joshua would only give her the coordinates of one world of stars, but she didn't expect that the warrior actually packaged the coordinates of three worlds and gave them to her - the world of Kallis, the world of stars. The world, the world of Kronos. In response, Ms. Sage let out an exclamation, but as she was about to disappear, she had no time to say anything more, so she simply threw the 'Light', 'Crystal', 'Weapon', Energy, Matter, and Spirit Triple Cycle Roulette in her hand. Of Joshua.
Immediately afterwards, Faina's spiritual clone turned into a mist and dissipated in the lord's mansion. Only the last words could be heard as if they were dissipated in the wind.
"Thank you for taking care of Hill and Fina. Both of them are children with great potential. I will also attend their wedding."
But when the last reverberation of these words dissipated in the reception hall of the Lord's Mansion, the silvery mist had dissipated, and Joshua sat in his seat, looking at the roulette wheel that was still spinning endlessly in his hand, frowning in thought.
"Spirit-to-matter transformation... what a terrifying technology."
He murmured to himself, and then shook his head: "You can't underestimate any legend, and you can't have an inherent idea of the name of any legend - the Sage of the East China Sea, if you don't witness it with your own eyes, everyone will think that he is a legend. Probably a spellcaster specializing in water element or naval combat."
Speaking of this, Joshua couldn't help but laugh, because Faina was not the only one who was like this, he himself was also like this. The titles such as Dragon Slayer, Earl of Cold Iron, Lord of Fire Prison, etc. that were praised by the people were not the same at all. The method is combined with his steel power. This is the inevitable error when the real power is displayed in front of ordinary people.
As for the coordinates of other worlds, Joshua felt that there was nothing he could not give.
He didn't talk about the world of Ilgona or the Blood Moon Abyss, but now only a group of immigrants from the world of Grandia are left in the world of Kallis. The people there are already in need of help. After Faina, everything can't be done. Don't do it.
The world of stars was originally meant to be told to Faina, not to mention that a war of order across the galaxy was going on there. A legendary strong man was going there. How could the Steel Python Star miss such a high-end combat power
As for the world of Kronos, it needs the help of a legendary strongman to be stationed there. Faina can not only get new world information there, but also communicate with ancient dragons, and the dragon people of the world of Kronos can also Get shelter, win-win.
As for the transformation of matter into spirit, Joshua could only describe it as unbelievable for the technology Faina left behind.
The amount of energy converted from matter is an astronomical figure. When a chair-sized matter is completely converted into energy, its destructive power is enough to destroy the entire world, and the conversion of matter into soul is unheard of, but Faina has done this, and The process of its conversion was stabilized and left as a trade item given to Joshua.
Holding the secret book of the power of steel from the Earth Temple in one hand, and holding the mass-spirit conversion roulette in the other hand, Joshua thought for a while and decided to take a closer look at the mass-spirit conversion roulette.
[Legendary Item: Spiritual Rune Roulette]
[only]
[Appraisal in progress... Firm success... &%! 2%@*! @#%]
The system is broken... Then forget it.
Ignoring the completely garbled system in his corneas, Joshua continued to look at the strange objects left by the legendary sage. The warrior's pupils turned silver. He carefully looked at the roulette wheel in the palm of his right hand and looked at it thoroughly. For more than ten minutes, during this period, No. 3, Hotaru, Rin, and Hei and Guang, who were passing by cautiously, all walked through the door of the reception room, and quietly looked at Joshua for a while, but all his attention was They were all placed on the roulette wheel, so I didn’t say hello to them.
After a long time, Joshua took his eyes off the roulette wheel and let out a long sigh.
"can't read."
It's normal to not understand. How can there be truths in the real world that can be learned just by looking at them? Is it possible that he can have an epiphany and learn some energy laws... At least Joshua thinks it's impossible. Even if it is really possible, he doesn't have the talent, even if he can directly observe it from a microscopic perspective.
His power does not come from some sudden enlightenment after practicing in seclusion for more than ten years, but from exercising eight hours a day, studying theoretical knowledge seriously, and conducting experimental battles when he has time - a combination of work and rest, coordination of hands and brain, and the ability to kill people while thinking. . The same goes for observing this rune. It is useless to look at it. You still need to experience it yourself and do some experiments yourself to determine the authenticity of the technology.
But even if he doesn’t understand why Faina can convert mass, energy and soul into each other, Joshua can at least understand some points. For example, the formula provided by Faina cannot directly convert matter. For the soul, to be more specific, this formula can only unilaterally convert the soul into energy, then unilaterally convert this energy into matter, and finally convert the matter into soul... It cannot directly convert the soul into matter. , let alone converting matter into soul, energy form is the intermediary between soul and matter.
This is only reasonable. This is what Joshua really thinks in his heart, because it means that Faina can only convert the soul energy she controls, instead of just taking any stone and converting it into energy or soul at will. If it is true, If this is the case, wouldn't the Sage of the East China Sea have long been invincible in the world? Who else can stop her with the help of the Annihilation Star? Perhaps only the old pope who can control the speed of light can fight.
But at the same time, the warrior is still a little regretful, because if this substance-spirit conversion rune really has such a terrifying effect, then his combat power will increase exponentially - not to mention anything else, with his body density, just break it off It's not an exaggeration to convert a small section of his finger into energy and blow up the entire planet. If he tried his best not to blow himself up, it would probably cause a gamma ray burst that would affect other worlds in the void.
"Even this is very scary. Faina abandoned her body and advanced with the soul's ultimate intention. Her soul is more condensed and larger than ordinary legendary powerhouses. Not to mention all kinds of soul spells, a soul of this weight The combat power converted into energy cannot be ignored."
Speaking of which, it seems that No. 3 is in the same situation? Only soul, no body... On this point, she is completely consistent with Faina.
But now is not the time to speculate on Faina's combat power. Joshua put the spirit rune into his pocket, then picked up the book beside him and started to read it casually.
The power of steel is the exclusive power of the Sons of the Earth Mother Goddess and the Chongshan Titans in the Age of Glory. It is also the orthodox inheritance power of the Earth Mother Goddess - the side of the world's will. Except for the descendants of the divine blood and the Titans, there are very few others. Holding the power of Steel, this secret book records the core training and combat methods of Steel Power in the Earth Temple. They were originally engraved with divine patterns on the inheritance stone slab in the center of the Earth Temple, but now But it was copied into human language and sent to Joshua.
"interesting."
After hastily reading the preface, some nonsense praising the Earth Mother and boasting about the power of the Titans, as well as some very superficial knowledge of the characteristics of the power of steel, Joshua went directly to the fifteenth page of the book and began to read "On Steel" "The condensation of power and how to use it", here is a record of a certain Chongshan Titan's technique of fixing material particles in the air and condensing them into weapons and various tools out of thin air.
In addition, this technology can also be used to quickly recover injuries and body defects. As long as the surrounding material particles are dense enough, even near-death injuries can be healed for the most part in an instant... This is indeed a very interesting condensation method. But it is not suitable for Joshua, because his body density is too great. If he condenses the dust in the surrounding air according to the above method, even a small injury will cause damage to people within a radius of dozens of kilometers. All the dust would be evacuated, and if it were on the ground, a big pit would be created directly.
This book is indeed interesting, although some of the knowledge in it has lagged behind the world and is completely out of touch with the modern extraordinary system. For example, the method of long-distance communication through the resonance of the power of steel is far inferior to Today's magic communication circle, but it should have a place in the dead magic world without any magic elements. Another example is the use of the power of steel in combat, which is nothing more than gravity waves and mass impact. Joshua felt that using his instincts to fight was more sophisticated than what was written in this book.
But apart from that, in some aspects besides fighting, this ancient book from the Earth Temple is still quite valuable - for example, Joshua learned from it how to create things with the power of steel!
"It's a bit like 3D printing, but more precise and more convenient than 3D printing."
Saying this to himself, Joshua stretched out his right hand, and there was silver mist lingering in the palm of his hand. After a moment, the mist condensed, and a small metal statue of Firefly appeared in his hand. The statuette of the silver-haired girl was so lifelike that even her eyes looked like a real person. In just a few seconds, Joshua embodied the silver-haired girl in his heart.
"Yes, if this ability is used in combat..." Joshua suddenly became more interested - although before that, he could already create a psychic leap engine in his body through the power of steel. Such a sophisticated and complex organ as the Fusion Core, but after all, it has a prototype, and it is still in his own body. But now, he is outside his own body, and he has created such a sophisticated statue out of thin air by relying on his imagination.
If this thing can be used in real battles, wouldn't it mean that as long as the raw materials are enough, he can directly create seven or eight core-melting engines in his hand, and then blow up one of the demon kings he encounters? Smash two of the giant void beasts you come across, and throw them out when you encounter an abyss lord... Just thinking about it makes me feel refreshed!
"Master... His Majesty the Emperor's communication, he seems to have something to do with you."
And just when Joshua was thinking about the future, Yingying poked her head out from the crack of the door at the entrance of the living room, blinking her big green eyes: "Master Nostradamus is here too, look... Huh? Then? What is it?"
After hearing the names of these two people, Joshua shrugged, stood up and said, "I knew they would definitely come to me... I'll go now."
"As for this?"
With that said, Joshua picked up the metal statue that had just been embodied with a trace of steel power. He smiled, then walked to the door, opened the door, handed it to the silver-haired girl, and patted her head. : "It's a gift for you. After all, I didn't take you and Rin with me when I went out this time."
"Also, don't think too much - Lisa is the disciple I brought back from other worlds. She is a pure-blooded ancient dragon bloodline. In terms of concentration, she is more dragon than black!"
After saying that, he left Hotaru, who was stunned and looking at the statue in his hand, and strode towards the communication room on the second floor.
In the communication room, the light curtain is flickering, and the magical influence brought by the Great Demon Tide is becoming more and more intense. Now, although voice and video can be transmitted smoothly, noise and snowflakes are inevitable. In the center of the video, a person with a dark The majestic man with blond shoulder-length hair was impatiently crossing his arms, waiting for Joshua's arrival.
"You are finally here? Lord Radcliffe, you just returned from the world of stars with Mr. Nostradamus, and you accompanied those two old guys to go around in the void again? You really have a restless character. …”
"Everyone has a different way of life... Although I also feel that it is wrong to continue like this, so I should take a break recently."
You said this last time, the last time, every time. On the other side of the light curtain, Israel did not say what he was thinking, but his expression was almost like writing these words directly on his face. But after a while, he still sighed and said: "Sixth The Abyss has been undergoing a lot of changes recently. Our Void Star Observation Station has detected that at least two of their legions have left the Abyss headquarters and sailed to the other side of the Void... If they are going to invade our world of Mycroft now, and you are not here, then the north The empire is in danger."
The emperor's tone was heavy, and it could be seen that he had indeed been worried about these things recently, but Joshua seemed to have remembered something, and his expression became a little subtle.
"Two demon legions? I'm not sure about this... but if it's one, it might be heading towards me."
After thinking for a while, Joshua told Israel about the insect demon king and his legion that he met around the world of Kronos.
"..." Israel's expression suddenly became complicated.
But Joshua didn't seem to see His Majesty the Emperor's expression. He spoke to himself and asked from the other side of the light curtain: "Speaking of which, Your Majesty, you told me last time about the cleanup and relocation of die-hard nobles. Imperial revolution, when are you going to start? I am not urging you, nor am I doubting your determination for revolution, I just want to know the specific time. After all, you also know that I often go out... "
At this point, even Joshua seemed a little embarrassed and closed his mouth and stopped talking. After Israel sighed heavily, he could only say in a helpless tone: "That's all. That's the kind of person you are, and I can't expect you to become a true noble... As for the revolution."
His Majesty the Emperor closed his eyes, sneered, and then opened them again. Israel's eyes were filled with a light of expectation: "Soon."
"Speaking of which, you have a share of credit for this matter."
Saying this, Israel glanced at Joshua and nodded seriously: "Thank you also for taking the Gale to participate in the Holy Mountain Dragon Disaster War. The Imperial Royal Mage Laboratory has obtained enough information for us to have We have obtained the original data for modifying and strengthening the floating battleship... Well, for things like cleaning, the more prepared you are, the better."
"The testing of the second-generation enhanced floating battleship has been completed. When the air force of the five major legions is officially deployed, it will be able to easily suppress the possible resistance of all the nobles of the future empire."
"Before the new era comes, all the bugs of the old era will be swept into the sewers of history by the new power of the empire."
I changed the outline today. Originally, this volume was going to be about the competition between Winterhold Academy and other mage colleges, to reflect the differences between new era mages and old era mages... But after thinking about it carefully, this kind of plot seems uninteresting, so I changed it. Another one, so the update is late.
