Joshua's flight in the void lasted for dozens of hours.
In the void, pure speed and distance are meaningless. What separates worlds is the 'space-time coordinate difference' in a pure sense. Two adjacent worlds are not adjacent in the physical sense, but in the physical sense. There is a slight overlap in coordinates, and two worlds that are extremely far apart have, to put it bluntly, a huge gap in coordinates.
To move from one coordinate to another, what is needed is not speed, but energy level.
The higher the energy level, the stronger the energy. It can penetrate the turbulence of time and space and the faster it can cross coordinates. Moving in the void is actually using energy and spirit to determine and move one's own time and space coordinates, which is flying in the usual sense. There is a huge difference... If Joshua's regular cruising speed in vacuum can reach one-tenth of the speed of light, 30,000 kilometers per second, then in the void, he can move the equivalent of several objects in ten minutes. world coordinates.
"Why not rely on the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrificial Site?"
The will of Kallis has been communicating with Joshua, and it told the warrior a lot of information about the remnants of Grandia: Now those remnants of the world of Grandia have begun to cultivate the land where the fire has been rekindled. , summer green seedlings are all over the mountains and plains, and many professionals are nervously protecting them. It can be seen that this autumn will definitely be a bumper harvest.
In addition, many Grandia remnants formed adventure teams and immigration groups, and began to migrate to various parts of the Kallis continent, looking for new settlements. Like saplings with branches and leaves, they were spreading. Explore this new, yet impoverished world.
In this regard, Kallis, the Steel Python, was extremely emotional, because with the proliferation and activity of intelligent life, its originally almost extinguished flame actually had a tendency to stabilize - the flame that Joshua brought to it was rootless. Duckweed would be completely extinguished after burning for a few decades at most, but now, the dying world of Kallis has regained its vitality due to the activities of life. It is gradually getting better and getting better and better.
But now, it did not continue to sigh in this regard. The Steel Python asked the warrior doubtfully: "The coordinates of the place we are going to are extremely far away. Using the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrificial Site to transfer will be very fast... Now with the turbulence of time and space and the great demon, Moving in the tide is not very efficient. Are you planning to exercise your ability to roam in the void?"
"Not really."
In response, Joshua responded briefly: "I don't do meaningless things... I have my plan."
In fact, the warrior does have a plan.
The reason why he did not use the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Field and directly used his physical body to move in the void was not to exercise his ability to move in the void, but to detect the density of the 'steel authority' spilling out of the great demonic tide.
Before Joshua left Mycroft's world, batches of 'warlocks' and 'bloodeders' who had awakened strange abilities were welcomed from all over the world. Most of these people's abilities were very weak, and some even became weak after a few days. Then disappeared, but there is no doubt that this means that the fragments of steel in the great demon tide once again washed away the world along the tide of energy... The current situation can be controlled by all major forces, but if there are more, What should we do if an awakened person with incredible abilities appears
For example, there was an ability to create ice without limit, but it disappeared quickly, and there was also an ability to generate heat without limit... Although, these abilities are not unlimited, they will consume the authority itself. The power of steel, but if this power continues to appear, it will inevitably cause riots around the world.
Therefore, the warrior planned to take advantage of the time he was roaming in the void to monitor in real time, collect the steel fragments in the great demonic tide beside him, and then deduce the secrets behind them... Perhaps, as he himself speculated, they were indeed They all come from the broken worlds in the center of the multiverse, but that also needs evidence to prove it before it can be used to remind Mrs. McCrow and make the whole world vigilant.
As for the gains from this plan, they are not many so far.
"In the dozens of hours I have been traveling in the void, I have detected a total of more than two thousand completely different steel particles... This means that by conservative estimates, more than hundreds of worlds have been destroyed."
During the flight, Joshua opened his hand and looked at the palm of his hand. In the palm of the warrior's hand, there were thousands of stars. The particles with different colors turned into a chaotic nebula. They were slowly rotating, as if they were about to fly. Condensed into a planet. Staring at these broken steel particles, the soldier's eyes were serious, but he couldn't help but not be serious - who could laugh heartlessly after hundreds and thousands of worlds were destroyed? You know, it’s hard to say whether he has seen more than a thousand worlds in so long!
"The vast majority of them are basic steel fragments that control elements such as fire, water, wind, and earth. Only a few of them are related to special fields such as space and mind transformation... Fortunately, the influence of the world is The impact is not too big, but if this is the case, then many wild animals and monsters will awaken by chance. When you come back, you should remind others to hunt these awakened monsters."
This is the only gratifying thing. Because the fragments of steel are close to the characteristics of fire, monsters with low intelligence will not be favored by it. Only a very small number can obtain this special power from the void... Otherwise, along with As the great demonic tide washes away, maybe a large number of creatures like super cats and super dogs will emerge in Mycroft's world.
"Speaking of which, Kallis, you said that our target is a small world... What is its specific situation, and what are the restrictions on extraordinary power? What enemies do I need to deal with?"
After the prompt from Steel Python, 'We are very close to our destination,' Joshua suddenly recalled this question. He asked Kallis mentally: "What are the so-called restrictions? Does it mean that I can't use it?" To exert power beyond a certain limit?”
"it's not true."
In this regard, Kallis, who has always been with Joshua in spirit, shook his head: "The so-called limitations are the limitations of the world itself, not yours... The meaning of small world is that if any huge existence enters, It will explode. As a legendary strongman, you are comparable to the existence of a giant beast in the void. If you enter this small world and release your power without limit, it will easily completely disrupt the balance of the world and cause the world to destroy itself. "
"A fragile order cannot resist a larger order. It is because it cannot withstand your full strength, not because you have to be restricted by it."
"That's it."
Hearing this, Joshua couldn't help but sigh and said rather boringly: "So, it is impossible to breed any powerful enemies in this kind of world? It's really boring... Then why does it (world consciousness) ask for help? ?”
"Because its current situation is very complicated, and it can never be solved by world consciousness alone. Well, this problem is difficult to explain now, and it is coming soon. Joshua, it would be better for you to talk to the other party in person."
Kallis doesn't know how to explain it for the time being, because it was only in contact with other world consciousnesses that were in bad condition, communicating and helping each other. It only knew that there was a world that was in urgent need of help from outsiders and was willing to pay a very high reward, so it notified Joshua.
The warrior didn't care about this. It didn't matter if he didn't have a strong enemy. After solving the troubles in this world, he went around the void and hunted the giant beasts of the void. It would be best to find the Leviathan-Qiao. Xiuya has met the opponent twice, but has not yet solved the opponent, which is really unpleasant.
Thinking of this, Joshua continued to move his coordinates in the void. His speed was very fast, leaving worlds behind him. Unknowingly, Joshua had come to a place far deeper than Ke Luo who went to the depths of the abyss. The more distant time and space realm of the North world.
It can be seen that in the void that has been turned into a white void due to the great demonic tide, there are waves of shocking ripples. These are the traces of the strong man traveling through time and space. In the vast background of the void, a shining silver line drives the ripples. Passing through layers of white mist and energy tide, it moved straight forward, cutting through layers of worlds.
But at this moment, Joshua, who was flying at full speed, felt something was wrong.
"The world is getting smaller and smaller... In addition, the fragments of steel... The density of steel particles is getting larger and larger?"
This was not an illusion. As Joshua looked around, the world he passed by became increasingly rare and even no longer existed. He seemed to have entered a 'hollow' where no world flickered. In the surrounding mist of the Great Demonic Tide, particles of various colors visible to the naked eye began to appear, and then disappeared. They flashed away like the sparks floating from time to time on a campfire. It seemed like an illusion. Only those whose observation ability has exceeded the limit. Only warriors can capture it clearly.
In his hands, the nebula formed by the steel fragments became even larger. Joshua had captured more steel fragments in five minutes than he had collected in the previous few hours. He noticed this extremely abnormal situation. situation, the soldier immediately stopped.
"What's wrong? Joshua, the destination is not far away. The world's will for help is just ahead. I can already hear its voice."
Kallis didn't feel dissatisfied with Joshua's sudden stop, it was just a little strange: "What are you surprised about?"
"These shards of steel, Kallis."
Joshua observed the steel particles in his hands, and he replied in a complicated tone: "This is not normal, they are too dense... and the world around them is too little."
If we say that the steel particles around Mycroft's world are as inaudible as the dust in the air, then now, the steel particles around the warriors are almost as big as sandstorms. The difference between the two is so big that it is simply shocking. Doubtful if they are in the same multiverse.
However, the Steel Python was very confused about this... This is easy to understand, and Joshua immediately reacted - for a life that is too huge like the will of the world, at least it should be as good as the one it gave to Joshua. Only large fragments can be observed. Smaller particles may not exist at all for steel pythons. They themselves are a combination of fire and steel. How can they see something that is equivalent to an atom for them
So he said no more and continued to fly forward, approaching the coordinates reported by Kallis.
Regarding the current situation, Joshua had a guess in his mind that was very likely to be true, but he did not want to admit it easily, so he was still observing the void around him.
But the more he flew and the more he observed, the worse Joshua felt in his heart... because beside him, there was still no trace of the world, and at the same time, in the almost blank void, the great white demonic tide The mist began to surge, and they were like great surging rivers, surging rapidly forward. These white energies surged even faster than the warriors. At a glance, they looked like a rapid river with messy ripples, and millions of The various colored steel particles in it are like water splashes rushing out of the river, rising from the mist from time to time, and then submerging into it again.
Their speed is getting faster and faster, as if there is a waterfall or a leak in front of them, and an invisible force is pulling them endlessly... This unknown existence is pulling on all the time and space realms around it. The demonic energy of the domain converges on itself, like a black hole.
Naturally, it is not a real black hole. The pulling force that Joshua senses is not high. He can completely resist the pulling force and then turn around and leave. However, a warrior is not someone who stops moving forward just because of this little unknown. In response, he frowned seriously, then prepared himself and continued to move forward with the surging demonic tide.
The turbulence of time and space in the void hindered Joshua's vision. He could not clearly see the scene in the void that was too far away. Naturally, he could not observe the source of the pulling force. However, Joshua, whose vision was blocked at this time, seemed to hear something. Sound... Of course, there is no sound in the void. This is an illusion caused by the legendary strongman's induction of energy. He sensed that at the coordinates of the destination ahead, there was a huge force flowing and gathering, and it made a resounding sound. The roar of energy in the void is like the roar produced by a large whirlpool on the sea.
And indeed it is.
After passing through time and space turbulence one after another, Joshua, who thought that this process would be repeated again and again, suddenly felt that his eyes suddenly opened up. Before he had time to react, the turbulence that obscured the legendary vision no longer existed. , because under the attraction of too much energy, even the ripples of time and space became consistent. The moment Kallis and Joshua raised their heads together and began to observe the void, they were shocked at the same time. Two great beings were shocked. Watch everything in front of you, and then let out a soft cry.
"Oh my God." Joshua stared at everything in front of him and said softly: "What is this?"
This is a nebula vortex.
Huge energy shakes the void, and the flow of the great demonic tide stirs time and space. Energy from all directions, left, right, up and down, and from all directions in the multi-dimensional world converges here. They conflict, stir, mix with each other, and finally merge into one. A mighty torrent... an extremely huge silver-white swirling nebula composed of the 'Great Demonic Tide' and 'Steel Particles'.
Just like the Milky Way, dozens of extremely huge spiral arms formed by the energy of the demonic tide are rotating and stirring in the void. Against the background of the pure white demonic tide, hundreds of millions... no, countless large numbers... The particles of steel are boiling in this vortex. They are shining with thousands of colors, like neon lights that are constantly flashing. At the eye of the vortex, there is a pure white light shooting out from it, like a bridge and a beacon. .
Because of the special structure of the void, and the chaotic flow of time and space... the power of the great demonic tide gathered in this place, forming a vortex like a whirlpool. It was like the Milky Way, but more gorgeous than the Milky Way. Joshua and the Steel Python Karli Si almost stared at all this with his mouth open - almost everything can be explained. This vortex across the void attracts all the surrounding demonic energy. It is precisely because of its pull that the density of steel particles suddenly increases. Only the energy of the demonic tide will show abnormalities.
"How magnificent..." Kallis spoke after a long time, his tone full of admiration and puzzlement: "But why...how could such a huge energy vortex appear in the void? And why is there no trace of the world nearby? "
Like Joshua, Steel Python also discovered this: since the energy of the Great Demonic Tide surged abnormally and the density of steel particles increased rapidly, there seemed to be no trace of the world in the surrounding void. During the long but certainly not short journey, not a single star shone.
"No, there is still a world."
While Kallis was puzzled, Joshua, who was standing at the end of one of the spiral arms of this huge vortex, spoke, his eyes flashing with silver light, as if he wanted to see through the essence of this huge vortex. After a few seconds, the light in the warrior's eyes went out. He took a deep look at the center of the huge vortex, where the eye of the vortex was, and then said in a complicated tone: "Look, it's right there."
"Right in the middle of the whirlpool."
The Steel Python used Joshua's eyes as a window to observe the distance. It did not come in person, but walked with the warrior in spirit. Therefore, it could also see what Joshua could see. After a few seconds, it was originally gentle. And Kallis, who was calm and almost never excited, lost his voice: "Where?! In the center of the whirlpool?!"
Where the two great beings gazed, in the center of the vortex, there was a faint light flickering. It was the proof of the world, the radiance of the outer membrane of the world shining in the void. It showed in the multiverse, just like a twinkling starlight... Now, The light of the stars was obscured by the too vast energy vortex, but this could not hide from the legendary sight.
"What we want to help... is the world located in such an environment?"
Looking at this starlight that was rising and falling in the center of the huge whirlpool, but very stable, the warrior was a little bit dumbfounded. He didn't know whether he sighed or said with joy: "You said it is a small world, Kallis, is that a lie?" Good behavior, I thought Steel Python didn’t have such bad habits.”
"It 'claims' to be a small world."
Kallis quickly corrected Joshua's statement, and said rather depressedly: "At most, the external situation is a little special... Okay, it's too special, but I really don't know, I'm only responsible for telling... Who knows about spiritual communication? What’s the situation behind?”
"interesting."
The two of them once again stared at the world spinning in this magnificent void nebula. Joshua was the first to speak: "Although it is very different from what I imagined, and the situation is also very unexpected... But since I have made a promise, I will definitely complete it. it."
"Come on, Kallis, let's see."
He said happily: "Look at what weird troubles this strange world has encountered."
