Although it seems like a simple transformation, the meaning behind it is not.
Converting one object into another object has been studied by countless powerful wizards and sages in ancient times - it is actually the origin and ultimate pursuit of alchemy, the conversion of 'all things' into 'gold' The highest achievement of this art is the 'Philosopher's Stone' that can create gold and elixir, making people immortal.
Not long ago, Helm burned his soul and used his body to accelerate his particles to the extreme to hit Joshua's body. He only simulated the environment of a supernova explosion and created a large amount of heavy elements including gold. , and this transformation technique can turn stones into white doves, and naturally it can also turn white doves into stones. Since this step has been achieved, it is not surprising that the stone can be converted into gold.
It seems ordinary, but in fact it is close to the truth. The ultimate of alchemy lies between this small 'conversion' and 'transformation'. Ordinary people may not be able to understand this extraordinary thing, but the legends know it deeply. This is an anomaly and miracle that far surpasses the invasion of the abyss.
Moreover, what is happening now is far from being as simple as a 'transformation' spell.
Above the Great Ajax Mountains, in the aerospace boat of Barnier and William, whether it was Joshua who contacted Nostradamus or Barbarossa who contacted the major magician organizations in the eastern plains, they wanted to seek more information. The two parties with a lot of information once again accidentally got a lot of news that they didn't know whether it was good or bad.
In the corner of an ordinary mountain village, in a small town that no one knows about, there are all kinds of strange things happening in the eyes of the wizard - there are young people who can sneak into the shadows and travel between the shadows, there are children who can fly in the sky, unrestrained, and girls He can use his spirit to summon strange beasts to accompany him, and a middle-aged man who is usually silent can transform into a superman with infinite strength... The earliest time can be traced back to May 21, 837, Starfall. Since that day, it is currently known that The first change occurred.
However, these things did not cause any disturbance.
Because they are nothing to ordinary people.
In the eyes of many ordinary people who live deep in Mycroft's world and often come into contact with mages and knights, these extraordinary things are part of magic, even if all mages think it is not magic at all. In addition, because The reason for the great demonic tide is that many people have long been accustomed to the fact that someone they are familiar with can suddenly one day gain extraordinary extraordinary power. What is unimaginable in the eyes of the legendary mages, to them, is just an everyday thing that can be seen everywhere in life.
"Sneaking into the shadows? It's not a fairy tale. How can the shadows sneak in? Sneaking into the subspace is almost enough, but how can a child have such power?"
"Flying without any principles? Just flying naturally?"
"Summoning alien beasts out of thin air... Where did these substances come from? How did they disappear?"
Every question is enough to make Barnier and William scratch their heads, and every incident can make Barbarossa frown. Faced with these seemingly ordinary bursts of extraordinary power that actually challenge common sense, the legendary mages feel An inexplicable fear - the so-called original fear is the unknown. They originally thought they knew enough, but now, Barbarossa and the others feel the long-lost unknown from these things.
But fear is not a bad thing.
Mages are creatures that follow curiosity. They explore behind the mountains and beyond the sea. They stare at the other side of the stars, looking for truth and power... The more afraid they are, the more curious they become. Because they don't know why, they try and understand.
Joshua was also lost in thought amid this change that may have swept the multiverse. Unlike the three legendary mages, the warrior does not understand magic, so he cannot use magic to analyze and solve these things. However, as a holder of extraordinary power, his strength and vision have reached his level. Between magic and vitality, The difference between them is already insignificant.
From Joshua's point of view, these things are not isolated, nor are they completely unbelievable. He has also seen this kind of power that goes beyond the scope of ordinary magical explanations, so even though Joshua will be shocked, he is still shocked. It doesn't feel as weird as others.
The memory returned to the past, and the warrior couldn't help but think of a person... Yes, he thought of the sage again.
Joshua recalled the memories of the sages he had seen a long time ago. He recalled the childhood when the sages were feared by his parents, and the ability of the sages to resurrect the dead and rejuvenate life - because of these strange things now. As time passed, the warrior's mind flashed to a boy with flawless white hair, who seemed to represent 'perfection' in his own right, and his 'miracle' that could easily recall souls and awaken corpses.
"Equally incredible, equally beyond common sense... Maybe there is some connection between the two?"
Joshua actually knew that the power held by the sages was most likely given by the Steel Python. The powerful authority related to the 'life force' was different from the various changes currently unfolding, but who knew the abnormalities happening now? , could it be the overflow of authority from other powerful beings
The fragments of steel given by the world have this kind of power. Among the fragments thrown by Joshua to Xiaoguang, one can scold wind, fire, thunder and lightning, call for rainstorms and frost, and all phenomena in nature can be reproduced at will, and one can awaken matter. , giving life, creating steel elements similar to 'No. 1', and another one that can control spiritual energy, peer into people's hearts, and play with other people's wills at the palm of their hands.
For mages, these powers are also very incredible. Although they are more or less consistent with the common sense of Mycroft's world and can be explained by magic, who can say that what is common sense in Mycroft's world is the common sense of the multiverse? , and Mrs. McLord's magic can explain the multiverse? Joshua believed that rather than studying the unknown mutation without any clue, it would be better to start from the known authority of the 'Steel Fragment'.
"It's not a bad idea."
Joshua did whatever he thought of. He told the three legendary mages in front of him some of his guesses and the past abilities of the saints. Barnier pondered for a moment, nodded in agreement: "To be honest, whether it is transformation or sneaking into Asia, Space travel is actually not a 'miracle' that magic cannot do, but the ones who use it are not powerful mages, but toddlers and children who have never been exposed to magic. This is the only thing we cannot understand."
"Yes, this situation is indeed somewhat similar to the 'authority granting' you mentioned..."
William and Barbarossa had just been discussing whether the news needed to be spread throughout the eastern plains. Now he turned his head and agreed: "Authority is nothing more than a powerful being creating a formed weapon, and those who get authority One doesn’t need to think about how to make a weapon, one just needs to activate it and use it—the more you think about it, the more similar it becomes, there is no difference at all!”
"The only problem is where so many 'authorities', or 'steel fragments', come from."
Barbarossa chuckled. This tall, hairless mage was usually very serious in front of his students and maintained his majesty as the chief mage. But in the same era, Barnier and Barnier, who had even gone on adventures together, were When William was together, he was too lazy to keep smiling. The element controller smiled and guessed: "Maybe some worlds exploded, and the fragments spread across the multiverse with the demonic tide? Haha, so many different authorities, God knows how many... how many... the world was destroyed... destroyed..."
“…”
“…”
The voice became lower and lower, and the tone became more and more solemn. Joshua narrowed his eyes, and several legends looked at each other. In just a short moment, silence fell in the entire aerostat experimental cabin.
The speed of thinking is far faster than words. When the warrior suggested that the current situation is likely to be similar to the 'authority grant', within ten seconds, the three legendary mages guessed various principles and possibilities while talking and laughing. Following this principle and possibility, they came up with an answer that even made Legend feel uneasy, like a ray of light on their backs.
"is it possible?"
After a moment of silence, Barbarossa turned to look at Joshua, and he seriously asked the warrior present who was most familiar with the power of steel and authority: "I'm just guessing... is it possible that this is really the case? "
William and Barnier also looked at Joshua, their expressions were equally solemn. Faced with the gazes of the three legendary mages, Joshua exhaled and said in a deep voice: "I'm not sure... but."
There was no possibility of agreeing with this matter, nor did he completely deny Barbarossa's guess. Joshua seemed to be thinking about the words - the element controller's guess was like a thunder, which instantly woke up Joshua who had an indifferent attitude. He immediately understood that he had been in this world and environment for so long that he had overlooked a very terrible fact... This matter has been discussed by countless players in previous lives, but the game official has never given it. The obvious answer is that millions of people feel that this is just a setting, a trend that will inevitably come as the power of many players grows, but... what is the truth behind it
"But, everyone..."
After a long time, with a sigh, Joshua folded his hands on his chest. He raised his head and looked into the void. The warrior's eyes seemed to reappear the path of light that ran through half of the multiverse. He paused, and then He continued in a low and clear voice: "Which of you knows what the 'Great Demon Tide' is all about?"
"Why does it happen? What is the principle behind it? What does it come from, what does it cause, and what will it form in the end?"
"In other words... Among the people here, who knows where this mighty energy tide that swept across the multiverse came from and why?"
No one answered this question, but everyone understood what Joshua meant. Barbarossa, Barnier and William all raised their heads and looked into the void. Their eyes penetrated the world, as if to transcend the endless energy. Tide, looking to their origin, to the center of the multiverse.
Darkness enveloped everything, and even the light of the demonic tide was only slightly covered with a silver-white veil. Between the shadows across all known sights, there was an undetectable light flashing, that was starlight, Is the light of the world.
But no one knows what happened to them behind the shadow and darkness.
In the end, what did it become
