As the huge steel puppet roared towards the dark night sky, the vision began to rise from the barren land, and the gray-yellow mud and sand plains could be seen spreading endlessly, and the eerie cold wind that was different from the daytime lingered high in the sky.
Joshua looked down at the earth, and he could see the lights of the plantation flickering on the ground. The battle of the Sibiya Super Team did not cause fundamental damage to the puppet garden. As long as a new team of soul puppets moves in, it will recover. As is.
Joshua looked up at the night sky, and he saw stars all over the sky twinkling in the gray dust and mist. The stars were dim and obscure, as if they were hidden behind layers of hazy gauze. They flickered, releasing an unsettling light.
The starlight in any world is similar. Because the location in the multiverse is different, the starlight seen in each world is also different. However, unlike Mycroft's world, the Sibiya world does not have a moon. In the black In the night sky, there were only thousands of light points flickering, but there was no familiar silver glow.
Of course, the most important thing is not this little thing.
"The world of Hyboria... shouldn't have stars."
Already rising to eight thousand meters in the air, Joshua was still rising. He passed through most of the clouds and dust mist, and arrived at a high altitude where there was not even a particle of dust. He stared at the twinkling silver stars in the sky. He said to himself in an intriguing tone: "How can there be stars in the world in the whirlpool of the void?"
People living in this world may not know the situation in their own world, but the warrior knows very well that outside the world of Hyboria, there is no world within a distance of hundreds of thousands of reference points. In the void What is surging is the mighty energy whirlpool, and this world is the island in the center of the whirlpool.
It should not have stars or starlight. The night sky in the world of Hyboria should be pitch black, as silent as death... In this case, what are those glowing light spots
It was in order to explore this that Joshua rose to such a high altitude.
At this time, the huge steel puppet had reached an altitude of 20,000 meters. At this altitude, Joshua could already see that the light spots that looked like stars were beginning to grow larger, which proved that the warriors were not far away from them.
At a rough glance, they seemed to be clusters of burning fireballs, with silvery blue light spreading in the dust-free clear air. Joshua could feel very obvious fluctuations coming from these fireballs. This fluctuation It was rough, thick, and seemed to be alive, but it also made him feel extremely familiar. Feeling this fluctuation, the warrior couldn't help but pause for a moment. He carefully looked at these distant fireballs, frowning.
Because this is the fluctuation of the core of the soul.
"...What the hell is going on in this world."
The puppet paused for a moment, and then started again. The rotating steel ring accelerated, and the invisible propulsion made it fly high in the sky at a speed of several thousand meters per second. With this speed, Joshua reached the distance in just a few seconds. Next to his nearest fireball.
But when he actually came to the fireball hanging in the sky, Joshua discovered that it was not as big as he thought.
This is a perfect sphere with a diameter of twenty-five meters. Its shell is composed of some kind of semi-energy crystal. Inside, silver-blue flames like liquid magma are surging, and an extremely intense light is released from it, which can Blinding all creatures within thousands of meters that dare to look directly.
The terrifying soul fluctuations that are thick enough to make ordinary intelligent beings fall into endless dreams reverberate with the surge of silver-blue flames. It echoes with a sharp buzz in the thin atmosphere, and you can smell the burnt odor that seems to be ionized. … This is a star, the true form of a star in the world of Hyboria.
"This thing... this thing."
Seeing this huge 'star', a 'soul core' so huge that it is unimaginable, Joshua's human body couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then gently exhaled, he and his puppet body They all stared at the silver-blue soul light and said in a deep voice: "How many souls did it take to create it?!"
Joshua turned his head and looked at the surrounding starry sky. There were at least more than a thousand 'stars' that were bright enough to be observed in the high altitude of the entire Hyboria world. Some of them were too dim due to angles, overlapping of rays, etc. Unable to see due to various reasons—if every planet is the same as what today’s warriors see, which is a giant soul core with a diameter of 25 meters, then how many souls are needed to create such a false starry sky?
Soon, Joshua estimated the answer: One such soul star requires at least 1.2 million standard souls, and one thousand would be 1.2 billion.
1.2 billion souls... means 1.2 billion lives, and there are more soulless Hyborians as derivatives.
Joshua came up with the answer and remained silent. The soldier was shocked by the numbers for the first time.
In the entire Sibiya continent, except for the large steel building complex in the center of the world, the number of soul puppet gardens is only over a thousand. No matter how high the calculation is, the population of the entire world will never exceed 400 million or 1.2 billion. , three times the total population of the world today. If it is said that this is the accumulated result of thousands of years of breeding, it is not unreasonable, but even so, it is really too terrifying.
"Obviously, the total number of soul puppets in a plantation does not exceed 700. A thousand gardens, plus several armies of hunters, count up to 100,000 soul puppets in total. Even if there are a large number of soul puppets in the center of the world, The number of puppets cannot exceed two hundred thousand."
"The puppets used to rule the world and coordinate order are only over 200,000, but the number of souls hanging in the sky exceeds one billion. No matter how you think about it, it is incredible."
Slowly approaching the huge soul star, Joshua stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the surging soul light. In addition to shock and anger, there was deep doubt in his eyes.
What do the people who created this starry sky want to do
While asking himself, Joshua reached out brazenly, clenched the huge steel puppet's iron fist, and then swung it out. With the power of silver steel flashing, he simply shattered the semi-energy crystal shell of the soul star. Then he directly used the power of steel to link into this extremely bright soul light.
Then, the warrior saw the entire world of Hyboria.
One thousand, six hundred and eighty-four stars hanging high in the sky are connected to each other at the highest point in the world. On the earth, the top of the dark blue spiral tower emits almost the same light. They form a huge, three-dimensional, precise It is an incomparable network that covers the entire continent, and this network does not have any magical and strange effects. Its only function is observation.
Yes, observe, the soul light and soul fluctuations released by more than 1,600 soul stars perfectly cover the entire world. This fluctuation even penetrates the earth and stone, reaching deep into the earth. Joshua is linking this soul. For a moment of light, it was as if he could see every move of the entire Hyboria world from the inside out at the same time. Beyond ordinary life observation methods, immeasurable information poured in from the other end of the steel power link, making the warrior groan. With a sound, the link was interrupted.
After all, what Joshua came to the world of Siberia was only a part of his soul and the power of steel. What he followed did not require soul growth, but only required the evolution of the body on an extremely special path. If he were a warrior, he would be able to handle these countless numbers. Level of information transmission, but if it is just the soul, it is far from enough.
In order not to be swallowed up by the soul light of the Soul Star Network, Joshua could only interrupt the link.
"…just to observe the entire world?"
After calming down the shocked soul for a while, Joshua suddenly felt even more confused. The huge puppets were shaking their helmets, seeming to express the incredulity of their master: "One thousand six hundred soul stars, more than two billion standard shares." Soul, if such a large amount of soul is made into a weapon, even a god will probably be destroyed directly. If it is used to save the world, I can rekindle ten Kallis worlds!"
Using these souls as fuel, even if the will of the world is directly kicked out, it is not impossible!
Of course, this is an exaggerated metaphor. If the world of Kallis was dying at the beginning, let alone 2 billion souls, even 20 billion would not be able to save it, because it simply does not have the ability to stabilize the order cycle. But if it were the world of Kallis with the remnants of Grandia now, even if Joshua didn't try to rekindle the flame, it would be able to slowly restore itself and return to its glory.
The soul is the best absorber of the spilled energy of the multiverse. Using the soul as the source can give the dead world a source of rebirth, but it is still far from enough to use it to directly reshape the world. It depends on the world itself. quality.
After calming down his confusing thoughts, Joshua calmed down. Although he didn't know why the people who created the Soul Star Network used so many souls just to create a giant observation system, he knew that this was definitely an extremely important part of the other party's plan.
If so, destroy it.
To be honest, Joshua came to this world with an extremely neutral attitude from the beginning. He was a little uncomfortable with the soul puppet's behavior of breeding intelligent life, but he had no intention of correcting it because he didn't know the soul. How did the relationship between the puppet and the Sibiya people come about? It is not easy for him as an outsider to intervene in the disputes of local civilization.
After all, right and wrong are relative. If the world is destroyed because of war, then who is the party that started the war? Who can be called a mistake? Winner or loser, what if the soul puppet says that he cannot bear the oppression and therefore wants to resist the Hyborians? This is the natural process of civilization. Natural changes and abrupt intervention will only deteriorate the order and distort civilization. If you cannot know the reason, it is very boring to use your own power to interfere with the freedom of other worlds.
But as he learned more and more about the world of Siberia, Joshua gradually realized that the soul puppet party, even if it is not a heinous crime, can definitely be regarded as evil. The resistance of Siberia has three views. It's not true, but the soul puppet and the mastermind behind all this are the source of everything. More than 1,600 soul stars are all proof - such an unbelievable level of massacre almost exceeded the upper limit of the word sin, and for a while and a half Joshua couldn't even find a crime that could match this behavior.
Perhaps, this is no longer a sin... because it has become an order. Soul puppets breed Siberians and harvest souls and superpower units, just like humans eat livestock meat and harvest wheat and rice. There is nothing more normal than this. There's nothing more twisted than this.
In this case, without further words or further thought, Joshua decided to correct this distortion.
Then, the huge steel puppet raised his hand to the empty sky.
In an instant, the starry sky trembled, and the clouds and mist over the southwest of the entire Siberia continent were forcibly separated by a huge force, and then quickly closed together - one could see, in the high altitude that was out of reach, a huge An incomparable vortex appeared, spinning violently, even tearing a star into pieces and swallowing it. In the center of the vortex, silver-blue light penetrated the sky and the earth, and even formed a pillar of light that connected the ground to the sky.
Joshua raised his right hand high. In his body, the steel fragments of Siberia vibrated violently, as if they were alive. But in the next moment, this piece of evidence of authority that could not be destroyed by any means collapsed. It was shattered by the energy from the same source. The force erodes and becomes a part of the opponent's body. You can clearly see that the substantive steel fragments shatter into billions of steel particles, which are then easily absorbed and assimilated by the warrior.
At the moment when the steel fragments shattered, the fifteen-meter-tall giant puppet grew in size like a balloon. The whirlpool whale it transformed into swallowed up the soul energy of millions of people in the soul stars beside it, and used it as energy to rapidly carry out itself. Evolution - thirty meters, forty meters, fifty meters. In just a short moment, it has a huge size of more than sixty meters, and various special extraordinary structures are generated in its body.
The entire Sibiya world saw this shocking scene. Whether it was a plantation or an industrial park, whether it was a mining garden or a breeding garden, the numb Sibiya people raised their heads because of the instinct of the body, and the soul puppets felt the powerful energy source and raised their heads. First of all, even the Sibiya resistance forces who were hurriedly packing up their supplies and preparing to avoid the impact of the hunter-killer army could not help but stop what they were doing, staring dumbfounded at the slowly spreading silver vortex in the sky and the countless slow-moving silver vortices. The slow-moving and distorted stars—their eyes were dull, and they even forgot to marvel. No one knew what this vision meant and what it represented.
The whole world fell into silence, the dark night was illuminated by silver light, and the stars were attracted by the vortex, like moths flying into the flames. In the center of the whirlpool, the huge machine no longer expanded, but began to gradually shrink. On its side, countless simple runes formed a complex array, and the energy spontaneously formed complex radial patterns. These patterns were in Joshua's eyes. The energy condensed on the back, and finally formed a ring of energy, which overlapped with the rotating metal ring, and finally formed a Φ-shaped symbol that was the same as the back of the warrior's body.
Represents the perfect symbol.
The power of steel held by Joshua possesses various strange abilities. Most of these abilities are sublimated from the fighting spirit and vitality before he advanced to the legend - material devouring, self-regeneration, adaptive evolution, extreme strengthening, Information link, energy conversion. Joshua, who possesses such power of steel, will have strong combat power no matter what world he enters. This is the authority he has achieved through the power of steel across several worlds.
But now, just such power of steel is not enough. The main messenger behind the world of Xibiya is very likely to be a genuine god. Even Joshua does not dare to say that he can definitely win against a legend. Not to mention a real God.
Therefore, he pushed his power in the world of Xibiya to the limit, causing the energy that shook time and space to explode and split the world apart.
High in the sky, a crack tore through the sky.
"Oh my god, what on earth is this?"
On the earth, the chariot holding six-color gems was trembling all over. The old man's mind, which had already known its function from the information contained in the gems, was blank for a long time. Of course he knew what it meant - these were six complete and powerful The inheritance of superpowers allows the person holding the gem to ignore his own natural abilities and develop six completely different superpowers. The silver gem represents the control of metal, earth and stone, the cyan represents the creation of wind, fire and thunder, the white represents high-speed vibration, the red represents radiation and explosion, the golden gem can make people move instantly, and the black can create an energy-absorbing shield to resist everything.
If they can make perfect use of this inherited knowledge, then the Siberian Resistance Army will have enough power to defeat the Soul Puppet! And the old man knows that this is only the most basic inheritance. Behind these simple diagrams, there are more complex and profound superpower inheritances that require the use of all kinds of mysterious knowledge!
Now, Chariot has recovered from the shock of the gem inheritance, but now, he has fallen into a new round of shock. The old man stared at the sky, and beside him, the young man Blast opened his eyes wide. He was shocked He shouted: "Chariot, invisible, fast, look over there!"
No one paid attention to his words, because everyone's eyes had already been cast in the same direction, towards the sky that was extremely clear after the clouds and fog had dispersed - and then, accompanied by a bright silver light, everyone felt creepy.
Because at the highest point in the sky, a silver beam of light reaches the sky and the earth. It breaks through the clouds, pierces the night sky, and reaches the depths of the night sky that cannot be seen even with the limit of vision...
And in the highest sky that seemed to be outside the world, a huge gap opened up little by little. On the other side of the gap, a huge, majestic, and thick steel hand as thick as a mountain was slowly opening. He reached out, but instead of passing through the gap, he caught the beam of light outside the world.
The giant god's eyes stared at the world. He took a deep look at the world and then exhaled.
The college entrance examination is about to take place recently. I wish readers who have recently taken the college entrance examination good luck!
