Soul of Searing Steel

Chapter 687: Black Mist Ant Colony 4500

Without hesitation, he started immediately and followed the raging energy river formed by the great demonic tide. Joshua got closer to the center of the void whirlpool little by little.

The silver vortex is majestic and majestic. The tributaries from countless directions in the void gather energy for it. The vortex rotates and the turbulence of time and space trembles with it. Under this terrifying push and attraction, even the giant beast of the void may be overwhelmed. It is difficult to escape from the vortex and fall into this huge energy trap.

But Joshua is different. His body is too small, but the density is far superior to all living things in the world. Even the mad tide that can shake the giant beast is just a breeze for him. The warrior walks freely in the violent energy flow as usual, As if he were walking peacefully in his own living room, countless steel particles were undulating beside him, like schools of fish in the deep sea.

"...You have become stronger again than last time."

In his mind, Kallis whispered: "Even the entire world may not be able to resist the suction of this vortex."

“…”

Joshua did not answer. He walked silently, but even so, when Joshua passed through the thirty-three spiral arms and was about to approach the core of the vortex, he still felt a little difficult. This was because it was too huge. The energy density has distorted all means of perception - the light is distorted, time and space are confused, and the direction is confused. Joshua cannot even judge the coordinates of the nearby vortex eye. He can only adjust his trajectory by relying on his own perception and control. , don’t let yourself get lost in it.

But at this moment, a faint but extremely clear mental fluctuation came.

"here."

This fluctuation is like a candle in the wind, but it can easily penetrate the violent energy vortex and reach Joshua's mind. It contains a set of constantly changing time and space coordinates, making the warrior understand in an instant that it is a vortex. The position of the vortex eye.

"Interesting, it's nearby."

There was no doubt about the authenticity of the coordinates. Joshua could judge that the data was reasonable, so he paused on the spot for a while - the next moment, violent red fire light spurted out from the warrior's back and legs, and the furnace fire brought The burst of energy pushed Joshua forward rapidly, like the most violent meteorites and rockets. During the rapid advancement, he seemed to feel that he had hit some extremely solid physical energy barrier, but this barrier was fragile to the incarnation of the power of steel. Unbearable, it was defeated in an instant and shattered into millions of pieces.

Bang.

In an instant, everything suddenly became clear.

Whether it was the violent energy, the gravity that even the giant beast of the void could not break free from, or the river of demonic tide that was enough to push the world forward, they all disappeared at this moment, as if they did not exist at all. In this regard, Joshua stopped In order to push himself forward, he extinguished the flame and raised his head together with Kallis to look around - the calm void that cannot be described in color is like a piece of paper without any wrinkles. The chaotic time and space flow in the outside world does not exist here at all, but right here. In the center of this vortex, there is a huge world that is slowly rotating. The shell of the world barrier emits bright light, illuminating everything around it.

Joshua nodded slightly. He has entered the eye of the whirlpool.

"Is this the only world in the entire Uzumaki Uzumaki Eye?"

At this time, in the warrior's mind, Kallis said in surprise: "I originally thought there would be at least several world communities forming a whirlpool calm zone... but there is only one?"

"In this case, wouldn't it be the same as 'famine'..."

Steel Python's tone at this time brought a hint of caution. As a world invaded by famine, Kallis naturally knew the reason for the formation of the evil god: because it was located in a cavity area in the void, and there were no adjacent worlds around it. , the civilization that was unable to explore the outside world exhausted all the resources of the mother world, even the soil and rocks. In the despair of nothingness, the crystal insects finally devoured their own civilization and world, and turned into evil gods wandering in the chaos [Famine]].

But now, the world in front of him is completely separated from other worlds - the closest world is still tens of millions of reference coordinates away in Joshua's memory, and what's the use of being so close? If they cannot pass through the violent energy flow of the maelstrom, no civilization can communicate with the outside world... They are absolutely alone.

"But at least it's not yet."

Joshua nodded, indicating that he understood Carlisle's worries. Then, the warrior flew towards the only world at the eye of the vortex in the void. His speed was very fast, and he arrived in this world almost instantly. On the outer layer, the light released by the world barrier shines on Joshua, and it seems that it senses that visitors from afar have arrived. A huge will slowly awakens from the surface of the world. It extends its spirit and prepares to connect with the warrior.

Joshua stretched out his hand and took the initiative to connect with the other party.

Then, he heard a weak but extremely calm voice.

"Hello, alien descendants, and my compatriots."

This sound shakes the spirit. It is not any language, but it can be understood by any living being. It goes straight to the bottom of the mind, and then automatically creates language and symbols that the other party can understand. Joshua is very familiar with this. This is not a mortal communication method. , but the python of steel, which is the language between worlds.

There is no doubt that this is the will of the world that Kallis said was asking for help. Originally, Joshua was still thinking about how the world in the center of the void vortex could have a chance to ask for help, but the sound that could be heard clearly even in the vortex just now proved that the will of the world in front of him might have the ability to send messages through the energy tide. Strange abilities.

"You guys got here really fast."

The tone of this world's will is still calm: "It's much faster than I thought."

The world will's concept of time is very different from that of ordinary people. For Joshua, a few months is not considered fast, but for these world wills that are millions, tens of millions, or even billions of years old, To put it bluntly, this may really be just a moment, but Joshua is not the character to use this kind of conversation. He asked directly: "I received your commission - you said you need a little help. , to get out of today’s mess, but tell the truth.”

Joshua paused for a moment. He looked around at the calm void around him, the scattered steel particles, and the large whirlpool energy tide that was rapidly rotating at the edge of the void, as if it could grind everything. The warrior shook his head: "I think this is the case. Not exactly small.”

Joshua was telling the truth. Before he came, he thought it was some kind of chaos invasion, just like in the world of Ilgona, where the evil god's ten plague stars came down to destroy civilization with his dependents. In the past, he only needed to take those things Just clean it up, and collect some information about the evil god along the way... But in the end, he came to a strange world in the vortex of the void. The location of this world is so wonderful that it can be said to be the miraculous workmanship of the multiverse. Qiao Xiu Ya thinks that he still doesn't have the ability to take a world out of this whirlpool, and God can't do it either.

"The surrounding environment? No, I'm very satisfied."

The unknown Steel Python's spirit fluctuated slightly for a moment. It understood Joshua's thoughts. In response, it shook its head and continued in a light tone: "I think this environment is very good. There are no foreign enemies and no communication. , even the destroyers in the multiverse are not willing to come close, this place is quiet and safe, I like it very much."

"My name is Zeboya. The one who has come from afar, I am calling for help, not to move my position, but for other things."

Siberia, the Will of the World, said his name - this is usually the name given by the first civilization in the world to the world in which it lives, and the Steel Python happily accepted it. It was about to state its purpose directly and clearly like Joshua, but it discovered that the warrior seemed to be distracted at this time.

Joshua was indeed distracted. In fact, he even turned his head and looked in the direction he came from, which was the direction of the void whirlpool. The warrior's eyes were like molten silver metal, flashing with intense light. Joshua looked directly at the outer layer of the void. His gaze penetrated the chaotic energy flow of the maelstrom and reached the edge of the vortex.

"What are you looking at, Joshua? Siboah is talking to you."

Kallis asked with confusion. It knew that Joshua was not the kind of person who would deliberately neglect others. He would even chat with beggars in the city, send them to the military camp for training, and then let him find a job. But the fact is that the warrior ignored the words of a world's will and looked back at the void vortex that was almost empty except for energy.

But Joshua had no time to answer it at this time. His brows were frowned and almost raised. The warrior's gaze swept across the edge of the whirlpool in the distance, and Kallis also saw what Joshua saw through the shared vision. - It was a large piece of black mist that was slowly floating. The mist seemed to be the supernatural energy washed away by the great demonic tide, and was slowly approaching the vortex of the void.

"what is that?"

The Steel Python asked doubtfully. It had never seen this kind of strange black mist before. Even if it was washed away by the energy of the great demonic tide, it did not scatter at all.

"... black mist."

Joshua replied in a low voice, his tone solemn: "It's the black mist of the shelter world."

Why are they here

Joshua has not forgotten the battle with the black mist in the world of Kronos. It was not a difficult but extremely tense battle. Facing the micro-nano-scale mist rune construct that can corrode everything, it was several times. A legendary powerhouse joined forces to quickly destroy it without letting it cause more damage. Although Joshua knew that the mother body of Black Mist was located in the Alpha Sanctuary world of the former shelter civilization, and what he destroyed was just a high-level child body, he did not expect that he would suddenly encounter Black Mist again in this place.

Without continuing to speak, Joshua looked at the black mist at the edge of the maelstrom. At first, he was still wondering what the mist was trying to do, but now he understood—these mist was feeding, or in other words, transporting.

Following the black mist at the beginning was another large group of black mist, densely packed, like a black river of black mist coming from the other end of the void to the periphery of the maelstrom. They were like hard-working worker ants, getting close to each other. The spiral arms of the maelstrom rotate rapidly, and then absorb majestic energy with a density far higher than other places, as well as countless steel particles.

It can be seen that the black fog, which was originally pitch black and did not reflect any light like a black hole, began to whiten and brighten little by little, until it finally became a bright gray cloud, after drinking the energy of the high-density demonic tide. The black mist returned at a slow speed. It slowly passed through the void and gave up its position to the next group of black mist. This behavior happened everywhere in the void on this side: this large group of black mist The fog seems to be like an efficient energy extraction machine. They use their own special structure to store a large amount of energy and return steel particles, like living energy packets.

The speed of foraging and transporting the food of the black mist is very fast. In less than five minutes, this large group of black mist has been loaded and started to return. This series of movements was so smooth that not a single black mist was attracted by the large whirlpool and fell into Energy trap, this is enough to show that the other party already has a complete set of transportation procedures and has experienced millions of practices.

—The world of Alpha Sanctuary is nearby!

Without any guessing, Joshua can be sure of this without a doubt. He has fought with Black Mist and knows the advantages and disadvantages of this peculiar micro-cluster rune construct. In short, it is the overloaded energy reserve of Black Mist. This state will make oneself extremely fragile. Any behemoth in the void can easily eat them in this state as a gift package. Moreover, this state also consumes a lot of energy. If the coordinates of the sanctuary world are extremely far away, then This method of absorbing energy is simply stupid and totally outweighs the gain and loss.

There is only one possibility, and that is that the parent body they need energy supply is nearby!

Although it is just a guess, Joshua thinks it is very possible. He has memorized the coordinates of the direction when the Black Mist came. He feels that as long as he goes in that direction, there is a high chance that he will be able to find the shelter civilization. The Lost World of Alpha.

But at this time, the warrior also knew that he might have been a little rude, so Joshua turned around with an apology. He was about to apologize to the Steel Python Siberia - but he sensed the other party's completely indifferent feelings.

Also, for a world's will, a few minutes for a mortal may not be long enough for them to breathe and circulate energy. Joshua's distraction, to the other party, is at most a short moment of daze.

"What exactly is it that requires the help of outsiders like us?"

After coughing, Joshua changed the topic to the main topic again. He was still thinking about the black mist. The warrior planned to find the mother body of the black mist after solving the problems of this world, and then call Mycroft to the world. All the legendary strong men I knew in the past destroyed each other - if necessary, God can.

Joshua is not the kind of guy who has to solve everything by himself. When faced with someone worthy of joining forces, he will naturally call him comrade-in-arms.

And then, Sibiya's extremely calm voice, which seemed to have no emotional fluctuations, came again: "My body."

It said softly, and the voice echoed in Joshua's mind. The Steel Python's tone at this time finally took on a trace of emotion. It said helplessly: "Adventurer, I Lost touch with my body.”

"Since a thousand years ago, I have no longer been able to perceive my body and the news of this world... My connection with it has been cut off by a force. My will cannot enter it and I can only wander outside."

At this time, invisible energy condensed outside the world. It could be seen that a huge shadow of the steel python appeared in the void outside the world. The homeless will of the world said with an almost bitter smile. Said: "I don't know what happened. I was kicked out of myself. This is really ridiculous and helpless... So, Adventer, if you can, please help me."

"Help me enter the world and get my body back."
