Get your body back
Joshua blinked his eyes. He first glanced at the world of Siberia next to him, then turned to look at the Steel Python. After thinking for a while, Joshua said: "You mean, you Can’t return to the inside of the world?”
"Yes."
The Steel Python Siberia replied: "We are the will and soul of the world, and the world is our body. Thousands of years ago, I was suddenly ejected from the world by a force while I was sleeping. Since then, I have been wandering in the void, helpless. go back."
"Fortunately, the void at the center of the vortex is extremely calm. My consciousness can still maintain its original form and will not be blown away by the turbulent flow of time and space."
Gee, isn't this just the soul leaving the body? After listening, Joshua clicked his tongue in his heart and thought: Resurrection for a world? That's not good... I'm not good at this kind of thing.
What should we do to help a world consciousness return to its own body? According to Joshua's idea, it is to smash a hole in the world barrier and let it go in. This is not a problem for him. But in this case, it becomes a bit similar to the rhythm of the devil opening the gate of the abyss to invade, and even if he goes in, Siberia may be kicked out again, which is a bit more gain than loss.
no. Joshua rejected the first solution that came to his mind. He thought calmly for a while, and then asked Karlis, who had been with him: "Karlis, have you heard of this situation? without?"
"without."
Kallis replied neatly: "I have never experienced this kind of thing. You spent so much effort to seal the Steel Python in Mycroft's world... If you can drive it out easily, then why not drive it out? "
Kallis didn't know the fact that Mycroft was eroded by Chaos. It thought it was just a simple world consciousness and civilized disputes. Joshua nodded and said he understood.
"A world consciousness has been kicked out of its home and can only look for other similar people for help. It seems that it has no choice."
After thinking about it, the warrior could only say to Siberia: "In this case, there is only one solution, and that is for me to come to this world and see what is happening inside the world that separates you from the world."
"That's exactly what I meant."
The huge phantom of the steel python nodded slightly in the void, and then it turned invisible, leaving only its spirit to communicate with Joshua: "Since I was kicked out of my body while sleeping, I can't give you anything." More information... But descendants from other worlds, do you know what is going on in the void around here?"
Siberia's tone was still calm, but what she said made Joshua and Kallis look at each other mentally: "Before I fell asleep, there were still many worlds around me, but after I woke up, the surroundings changed. It’s become such a big whirlpool.”
"Do you know what's going on?"
Neither the warrior nor the Steel Python could answer Siberia's question. After a long silence, the two beings slowly asked: "...You don't know when this maelstrom was formed?"
"You don't even know why you are at the center of the vortex?"
"No... I just woke up and found that I was kicked out of the world, and the surroundings became like this... I still haven't figured out what happened."
Siberia's tone was still calm, but both Joshua and Kallis understood that the steel python in front of them was not as wise and knowledgeable as its kind... This was a slow and slow person. Guy! It's calm, it just doesn't matter whether you still understand the situation or not!
But maybe the stupid world really has its blessings... Joshua frowned and looked around at the whirlpool of the void. If there were many worlds here more than a thousand years ago, then now, this entire time and space world I am afraid that the only thing left in the domain is the world of Siberia, where the situation is unclear, and the numerous steel fragments.
To be honest, Joshua was very suspicious that these incredibly majestic energy vortices and steel fragments might be the remains of those worlds thousands of years ago. The realm they saw passing through was not a natural void. A trap, but a graveyard of countless worlds! Before the great demonic tide came, they were just spinning peacefully. After the great demonic tide came, due to its special structure, it carried more energy, forming the current maelstrom! Only the only surviving world of Hyboria is left hanging on in the vortex eye.
This is a very possible guess, and it also confirms Joshua's original guess when he talked with Barbarossa and others, but the soldier does not intend to tell Siberia at this time... Anyway, it doesn't seem to care. .
"Then how to arrive?"
Joshua said: "Are we going to open a hole ourselves? I must remind you that such behavior is very rough... "
"No, no need."
Siberia's calmness - now it seems, maybe it is so simple that it has no emotional ups and downs - interrupted the warrior's words, and said slowly: "Although I have been driven out of my body, I still have enough power to send you away. Go in... But Adventer, your power is too strong."
As he said that, Siberia seemed to be sizing up Joshua: "Although I don't know what happened inside my body, thousands of years ago, I was just a small world. The sudden arrival of a powerful being like you is very disturbing. It could lead to a series of chain reactions.”
"The energy balance changes and the seasons are out of balance. Your mass combined with your energy is enough to generate giant tides on the ocean... The fragile balance in my body may not be able to withstand even one full-out attack from you."
Having said this, Sibiya seemed to shake his head: "The most important thing is that I am not like those high-energy worlds. I don't have that much rich energy in my body that can be used by you. One cycle of your breathing may be able to deprive half of the continent of Without magic, this kind of destruction is unimaginable.”
"Then how do you want me to help you?" Joshua had already been mentally prepared. The small world is indeed very fragile, just like the demiplane of Goblin Township. If the four queens did not join forces to maintain Balance, a single extreme intention can mess up the energy balance of the entire plane.
The conditions for the birth and survival of super life forms are very harsh. It is impossible for a super life form to be born in a world or plane with insufficient magic power, because with every breath they take or a raise of their hand, they may have to absorb hundreds of thousands or millions of The energy for ordinary people to survive.
"I will give you my fragments, which can be regarded as an advance payment."
Maybe he was a little slow, but Siberia was still very fast in dealing with matters that had been decided long ago. With these words, a piece of purple-green steel fragment appeared out of thin air in Joshua's eyes. In front of him, the warrior stretched out his hand to hold the fragment. He heard the calm voice of the Steel Python: "I will send your souls into my body and descend on a certain living being that meets the conditions. Then, through With this piece of steel, you will gain enough power... I think this should be enough to solve all your troubles."
"If it doesn't work, just call your true form to come. As long as it doesn't cause destruction similar to the destruction of the world, I can accept it."
"Possession? I don't have much soul..."
Holding the large fragment of steel tightly in his hand, Joshua felt the power of the fragment, which was a million times more powerful than the particles of steel in the maelstrom: life, shape, soul, will. The person who holds this fragment will gain an almost immortal lifespan and body, the psychic ability to communicate with the mind, a will that will not be affected by illusions and hallucinations, and the authority to communicate directly with the Steel Python.
There is no doubt that Siberia has indeed spent a lot of money. You must know that even the fragments of steel given by Kallis, Ilgnar and the stars are far less powerful than this one. Those who hold this fragment , the body and soul will directly become superhuman.
But what is a little embarrassing is that due to the unique path he chose, most of Joshua's soul is connected to his body. He can only separate part of his soul to merge with the steel fragment and put it into this world.
"Are the possessed objects random?"
he asked.
"Yes."
Siberia replied: "But it doesn't matter. Any living being who gets this piece of steel can gain power. There is no difference."
"so."
Joshua nodded, frowning slightly: "In this case, the situation is a bit complicated."
He was not considering the moral issue of possession. According to Sibiya's explanation, the body that fits the situation is nothing more than the corpse of an intelligent life without a soul, or a beast without intelligence. And after being descended by him, although the fragments of steel will be taken back, But the extremely strong body will still remain. If it is a dead person, it may be resurrected. Over and over again, the possessed person will make a profit.
But the problem is that warriors commonly use human-sized male bodies. Using this body, he can display his various skills and martial arts. But since it comes randomly, it just depends on luck, and it can be possessed directly. In the body of a male intelligent life, it should not be so lucky.
"If it is a female body, then the martial arts will be compromised a bit." Joshua thought about the possibility: "I don't know if the intelligent life in the world of Hyboria has a gender division of labor similar to that of humans and large mammals, or is it a gender division of labor similar to that of humans and large mammals? Similar to some beasts or insects, females are stronger."
Intelligent life is more troublesome, but beasts are not so particular. As long as the foundation is good enough, Joshua believes that he can use his own strength to exert sufficient force. In fact, whether it is an intelligent life or a beast, as long as the warrior is willing, he can forcibly modify it into a form that can exert maximum combat effectiveness.
"Are you ready, Adventer?"
Sibiya's calm voice came.
At this time, in front of Joshua, light purple lines were spreading in the void, mixed with blue and purple lights, following the runes that emerged out of thin air, forming an extremely huge, nearly a kilometer wide A huge formation, and as the formation gradually takes shape, it gets closer and closer to the outer wall of the world of Hyboria.
Click - a chiming sound came, and the huge formation was firmly embedded on the outer wall of the world.
At the same time, at the center of the formation, a silver dragon eye-shaped crack slowly opened. Looking from the outside in, there was a gray mist, making it impossible to see what the inside of the world was like.
"certainly."
Joshua nodded - his thoughts were just analysis. In fact, no matter what befell him, he believed that his power and skills were enough to solve all troubles, even trivial insects and mice.
The space-time passage leading to the world that had driven away the Steel Python was wide open. Joshua separated part of his soul without hesitation, merged it with the steel fragment, and threw it into it.
The channel is closed.
The warrior also closed his eyes.
He felt like he was falling, falling.
It seemed like he was falling into an abyss.
I have been in poor health recently, so I am unable to update. Please forgive me.
