In the world of Xibiya, everything is in a haze, the mist of chaos shrouds the world, and is submerged in the darkness of ignorance... But just when this darkness seems to last forever, a bright light suddenly shines high in the sky, making the world feel like day. .
Those are the stars in the sky and the spiral tower in the center of the world. They emit a dark blue light that seems to come from the netherworld, forming a giant net that covers everything. This giant net turns into a hand-like shape and moves towards a certain place in the sky. Holding it everywhere, the rebels and soul puppets on the ground can clearly see that what this giant net wants to capture is another light source in this world.
A flaming iron giant.
Regarding Fatlolvi's announcement, Joshua said nothing, because only silence is the highest contempt. He did not bother to argue with the other party about right and wrong, because the battle between them had nothing to do with right or wrong and understanding. Any relationship - what Fatlolvi did made him feel disgusted. The master had no guilt about harvesting billions of souls, so he was going to send the other party to the eighteenth level of hell today.
This is the reason for fighting, this is the value of strength.
He likes this best.
The giant dark blue hand struck, and Joshua stood there motionless. Instead, he spread his arms and allowed the opponent to attack. The next second, the giant energy hand covering the puppet suddenly contracted and clenched, as if to squeeze The doll in his hand was shattered, and at the same time, the steel structure behind the giant puppet opened silently.
Buzz——
Something began to hum in the atmosphere, like thousands of butterflies flapping their wings, like a low horn blowing in the wind.
The Snova-21 puppet transformed by the power of Joshua's steel is now very different from its original appearance. He has black and red armor that is as if he is armed to the teeth, and a terrifying dragon-horned helmet. Now, when the puppet is lurking behind When the long-standing steel module is activated and released, two gray-silver light strips nearly a kilometer long can be seen suddenly spurting out from it!
The majestic and heavy momentum runs through the sky and the earth. These two streams of light float endlessly, stirring up the surrounding energy. They are like the wings of angels and gods, but their shape is more like butterfly wings like light, pure steel. The power surged and extended in it, eroding the surrounding dust, crystals, energy and even all things. The dark blue giant hand that was originally clenched tried to struggle under its erosion, but in the end it turned into a sky full of foam and light debris, and countless souls The energy recedes like a tide.
But it's not over yet. As these two huge streams of light shook, endless silver dust fell from above, and countless tiny steel particles that belonged to Joshua fell into the world. They were like a swarm of piranhas. Greedily rushing towards the scattered energy fragments, and then swallowing them up, at this moment, even Fatrolvi, who had a heart as solid as a rock, felt a crisis. He felt that something dangerous was spreading in front of him. And he couldn't control it.
It's like... cancer!
Under the horrified gaze of Fatrolvi, the power of silver steel fell on the ground. In an instant, the light of the metal began to spread, and the structure like a mineral vein spread rapidly in his breath.
Mountain peaks and hills were eroded and melted, turning into a silver haze that filled the sky. Whether it was organic matter or inorganic matter, whether it was matter or energy, everything was assimilated by the unfettered power of steel. This scene It was simply a nightmare. Within a few seconds, an entire mountain range was assimilated by the power of steel. Now, these rising steel mist suddenly began to shine, emitting a bright light. Between the strong light, they rose. It went up high into the sky, and then condensed into a huge metal meteorite above the head of the giant puppet that Joshua transformed into.
Spraying steel particles and eroding the world, Joshua tyrannically controls the matter in the world of Hyboria, and in turn attacks it itself.
The next moment, a mountain of meteorites fell, and a burning sun lit up in the sky. The terrifying friction caused the atmosphere within a thousand miles to boil, turning into an incredible shock wave—it pressed towards the spiral tower, seeming to want to Crush Fatlolvi to pieces along with his throne.
In fact, if this meteorite really falls to the earth, then it will not only be a matter of the Spiral Throne being crushed into pieces. Huge impacts and earthquakes will sink the center of the continent, and a depression deep into the center of the earth will be Trigger a fatal impact that can split the continent and destroy all life on it.
So it's impossible to hit.
"quiet."
An indifferent voice sounded, and the world seemed to become blurry. Meteorites were falling, and the air was burning and wailing. But this scene suddenly condensed into a photo - the man at the top of the Spiral Tower took a step forward. He held the scepter tightly and stretched out When he lost his arm, invisible ripples spread around him, and time stopped.
A low but majestic voice came from the thin sky. With just one word, Fatrolvi stopped the meteorite from falling. He raised his steel python scepter high, suspending the movement of all matter, and came from the stars in the sky. The light of the soul surged endlessly at the top of the scepter. They dropped thousands of light beams and condensed on the top of the silver scepter.
"Destroy."
Another word says, authority gathers - above the high tower, in the center of the world, endless energy is condensing and sublimating, because among the still things, the master of time is commanding the stars, absorbing the energy of billions of souls, To completely wipe out the powerful enemies from other worlds.
The space was shaking, like a mountain of meteorites, and a tiny bit of distorted space appeared with thunder. In the next moment, the distortion point rapidly expanded into a spatial wrinkle visible to the naked eye. The wrinkles and ripples were still growing rapidly. Sweeping across the ground with thunder, the earth, sand and gravel disintegrated into atoms, all chemical bonds were erased, and the electromagnetic force became fragile. This is a destruction based on the essence of matter, and no physical matter is immune.
Fatrolvi released this shock, and he wanted to destroy all tangible and intangible things in front of him from the very foundation of existence.
Above the sky, metal meteorites collided with the twisted space. Suddenly, the whole world fell into silence - Joshua's attack and Fatrolvi's authority broke out in an instant, and their majestic and vast power spread out in an instant. All the air within a thousand miles turned into a vacuum, and all the clouds and dust were blown away by the super storm. The terrifying impact completely smoothed out all the raised structures on the ground, turning the uneven hills into flat ground!
The ground cracked and lava flowed out. For the first time in the world of Hyboria, such a huge vacuum area appeared. The invisible folds of space were shattered by the huge force, and the huge meteorites also shattered into countless fragments, falling to the earth like rain.
At the same time, Joshua exploded in the sky, and he rushed towards the spiral tower. The power of silver steel formed miniature planets around him.
Even if it is just an incarnation, even if it is just a projected puppet, Joshua's understanding and control of the power of steel at this time is no less than that of the original body. He has already seen through that the essence of Fatrolvi's time-stopping ability is stagnant matter. Movement, so he simply released his power of steel, corroding the world, turning his whole body into an alien world that the opponent could not stop. Joshua tyrannically took the material of the world of Xiberia for his own use, and then used it to attack the opponent. .
The huge meteorite fell just to force Fatrolvi to use other means besides stopping time. Now, he has seen that it is a super attack developed based on electromagnetic force, which can change the connection between matter. Fragile, and this kind of attack is meaningless to Joshua, who can perfectly control every particle of matter above and below him!
In this regard, Fatrolvi still looked indifferent. Around the silver python scepter, there were thousands of colors surging. It was the physical condensation of thousands of powers. It lasted for thousands of years in reality, including the stagnant time. More than five thousand years, such a long time was not wasted on him. In addition to his own stasis ability, Fatlolvi has long known how to use super units to use other super powers.
The scepter moved slightly, and invisible waves spread.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, Joshua, who was flying rapidly in mid-air and was about to approach the spiral tower, suddenly stopped moving forward. There were countless muffled sounds all over his body, and then he suddenly fell from the sky, hitting the ground. , the terrifying mass directly blasted a deep hole on the ground, and with the emergence of the hole, the surrounding land collapsed one after another like dominoes, forming a basin of tens of square kilometers - in this In the sudden appearance of a hundred times gravity field, all natural structures will collapse and be reshuffled.
Fatrolvi stood on the top of the tower and looked down, watching the lava boiling underground and the smell of sulfur spreading. If it were an ordinary life, its body would have collapsed under a hundred times gravity, but he knew that the descendants from outside the void who could cross the infinite energy barrier would never be like this. The puppet in the pressed lava land stood up again. It seemed to be intact, but the light on its body was more intense.
Standing up from the lava, Joshua shook his head and shook away the flowing lava above his head. The thousands of degrees of heat could not even deface the paint on his body, let alone destroy his armor, but he For a moment, an endless stream of light fell from above. Fatlolvi did not hold back at all. While maintaining the gravity field, he used more than dozens of different superpowers to bombard the entire basin indiscriminately.
The nuclear fusion flames set off mushroom clouds in the basin, and thunder with a total energy of more than 700 million kilowatts split them apart. High-energy lasers that can instantly create nuclear fusion fell like rain, poking holes in the earth, and the gravity field also It began to change rapidly, with some locations instantly exceeding a thousand times the gravity, and some places even turning into gravity-free areas. The completely different gravity pulled the steel puppet in the center of the basin, as if it was going to completely tear it apart.
But even Fatrolvi, who claims to be the embodiment of world and order, cannot ignore the aura that has never disappeared. The violent energy fluctuations have long blasted through the earth's crust and mantle, but Joshua's existence has become more and more obvious, even though Even a nuclear fusion explosion cannot be concealed.
And the next moment, as the majestic and terrifying aura erupted, the earth's crust and sea of lava turned into dust were pushed away by silver light. All super attacks were blasted away, and then a perfect circular hole with a diameter of several thousand meters was formed. The black and red steel puppet was among them, and thousands of different super attacks were perfectly defended by Joshua, whether it was unreasonable material conversion or inexplicable space transfer.
But at this time, the soldiers who raised their heads and prepared for the second advance faced—
But it is a sun.
"Who do you think drives the sun every day, causing day and night to alternate?"
"Who do you think maintains the order of the world and allows all things to survive?"
Fatrolvi has left the top of the spiral tower. At this time, he is standing at the highest altitude of the world of Hyboria, juxtaposed with 1,600 soul stars. And just above his head, a star with a radius of more than one A huge positive energy fireball of one hundred and fifty kilometers is burning blazingly, releasing endless light and heat, releasing warmth and light into the entire world.
There is no doubt that this is the sun of the Hyberian world.
"Damn, he really took over the position of Steel Python!"
Until now, how could Joshua not know who kicked the Steel Python Siberia out of his body? That is undoubtedly Fatrolvi. Although he does not know how he did it, he who holds the power of the world at this time can indeed call himself the incarnation of order and the world without any shame. He can even mobilize the power of the sun to attack Own!
Even some legends can't match this level of super power! No, can this still be called a superpower? This is clearly God’s authority!
The time mover's face was like a solid rock. He turned his back to the burning sun and let his front fall into shadow. Fatlolvi raised the steel python scepter in his hand, and the huge sun split into groups of fireballs. Among these fireballs Full of extremely hot positive energy, but as he continued to fill them with various abilities, these originally golden-orange fireballs had turned into chaotic black-red light balls, and they were as alive as life. , full of destruction and destruction.
"It's me, Fatlolvi, the time mover."
Each black-red ball of light originating from the sun of Hyboria has the energy to instantly destroy a mountain range and melt the mountains into flat ground. A dozen orbs of light falling at the same time are enough to flatten the center of the entire Hyborian continent. The aftermath they cause will turn the entire world into a burning hell, not to mention the very close spiral towers. The aftermath can even destroy all the soul puppet gardens on the surface, turning the entire world of Hyboria into a dead place without people.
This was a world-destroying authority, but that’s what Fatrolvi did. His eyes were indifferent, and then he waved the scepter from top to bottom, pointing directly at Joshua. Suddenly, more than a dozen balls of destruction light were like continuous fireballs. It usually flies out and hits one after another!
He was shocked by Fatrolvi's ruthlessness, but Joshua was not afraid. Maybe other legends had difficulty dealing with these energy balls, but for him, this was not a challenge at all. He had faced it in the world of stars. The Void Mother Beast ignited a gas giant—he personally created a real sun!
Boom! The huge puppet broke away from gravity and trampled on the earth. With the power of the explosion, Joshua flew straight into the sky, like an upside-down meteor. Under him, there were countless burning fragments of the earth's crust and lava. It was also lifted up by the flying energy and turned into a bright strip of light behind the warrior.
boom! The steel puppet penetrated straight through the first ball of light, and infinite thunder and dissociation beams exploded in an instant, turning into a black-red energy nebula in mid-air. Amidst the rolling thunder, the puppet slowed down slightly, and then continued forward. He rushed forward and smashed the second and third ball of destruction light!
But this is the limit. After smashing the fourth ball of light, the dragon horn on the head of the giant puppet broke. When the fifth ball of light was smashed, the right hand of the puppet exploded. When he smashed the sixth ball of light, By that time, the puppet's outer armor had half melted, and the entire body was about to be scrapped.
In the final analysis, this is just an incarnation of Joshua. He is not a real steel giant, and the puppet's armor has not evolved to the point of degenerate matter. Fatrolvi has long judged that the warrior is His body was at its limit, so he created fifteen light balls to bombard him at the same time.
The seventh ball of light was about to fall. Joshua raised his head and looked at Fatlolvi from a distance of dozens of kilometers. The two stared at each other. One saw indifference, and the other saw pleasure.
"What a good idea!"
With a low shout, two streams of silver-gray light were ejected from Joshua's back again. The surging steel power began to gather and condense in the warrior's hands, and then turned into an extremely heavy double-edged mountain-climbing axe. A flash of red light flashed through the observation lens on the puppet's head, and in the next moment, Joshua flew towards the falling ball of light again!
boom! boom! boom! The warrior galloped through the air, swinging his giant ax skillfully. The huge and invisible mass wave cut into the ball of destruction at the most exquisite angle, inducing its self-destruction—Joshua no longer used brute force, but began to use skills and weapons. In an instant, he destroyed three balls of destruction light. He took another step forward and slashed the giant ax down. The tenth ball of destruction light exploded and was annihilated. The extremely terrifying aftermath followed the guidance of the giant ax and flew towards the earth. It cut through the eastern mountains of the Hyboria continent, splitting a long canyon in the mighty mountains.
But at this moment, the silver giant ax also turned into debris. Even a weapon made of condensed steel power could not withstand the too violent energy rush. However, the remaining five destruction light balls were also in Fate. Under the control of Lolvi, attacks came from all directions at the same time - this time, it was no longer a trial like playing house before. The two strong men who tested each other's ability limits were finally going to have a real head-on collision!
Faced with the simultaneous attack of five destructive light balls, Joshua did not condense the power of steel ax again. He just stopped where he was, and then.
Start 'breathing. '
Standing high in the air, Joshua spread his arms as if to embrace the world. Then, the giant puppet's chest armor fell off, revealing the extraordinary module behind it—a burning miniature sun!
Boom, boom - the miniature sun vibrated, emitting a roar that was far superior to thunder. Under the control of the warrior, it began to rotate. It no longer released energy, but actively absorbed the energy around it. Suddenly, a burst of energy rolled up high in the sky of Siberia World. The raging storm seemed to swallow up everything around it, swallowing up the surrounding free energy endlessly. You could even see dots of fluorescence emerging in the air, and then turning into translucent ripples. The wind flows into this miniature sun.
The so-called 'eater of heaven and earth' is exactly like this! Suddenly, the surrounding light dimmed, and the bright sunshine became dead, as if everything was about to enter destruction and end - even 'time' was like this!
The five destructive light balls that were about to hit Joshua suddenly slowed down. They moved slower and slower, until finally, they even seemed to be frozen, moving like a turtle. Squirming forward at a fast speed. Watching this scene, Fatlolvi couldn't help but widen his eyes in the distance. This was the first time he showed an expression other than 'indifferent'.
And the next moment, he knew the reason.
That is the phenomenon that occurs when everything is drained of energy and approaches absolute zero.
Around Joshua, matter and energy fell into silence, because the energy that made all molecules move had been extracted, and the five destruction light balls had long ago collapsed into loose nebula-like materials. , the material particles that support its existence. In the center of the huge puppet's chest, a miniature sun that was several times brighter emitted a terrifying aura. With the support of such energy, Joshua's originally broken dragon horns and melted armor were quickly repaired. , with just a breath, the giant puppet returned to its original shape, and even began to grow bigger and stronger—
Time is an illusion, at least for most of the material universe. It is a scale of the speed of material movement, just like space is the coordinate of material movement. Time stands still. In a sense, all matter stops moving. Fatrolvi can achieve this miracle by relying on the power of steel. Although Joshua is not so direct, he can also drain the surroundings. All the energy in the world brings everything to a standstill, achieving a similar effect.
In such a low temperature, let alone a destructive ball of light that has been drained of energy, even if the sun comes into contact, a large part of it will be dimmed, forming sunspots visible to the naked eye.
Stopping the free energy that was being extracted from the surrounding space—this was also a huge load for Joshua's core engine—the warrior raised his head and looked at the silent Fatrolvi. At this time, his puppet body had changed. It became larger and stronger, and began to transform towards the nearly indestructible degenerate state of matter like his original body.
Fighting in a world with matter and energy, Joshua has never been afraid of anyone or any existence, even Fatrolvi who holds the authority of the world.
At the highest point of the world, the time mover with his back to the sun was still speechless. He frowned and seemed to be thinking about how to deal with Joshua, but in the end, he shook his head.
"You are strong."
Fatrolvi said: "For the moment, I can't think of any way to deal with you... so."
"Let's start over."
The next moment, the world stood still. In Joshua's eyes, which he had expected but still couldn't help but feel surprised, time flowed backwards again... The sun set toward the east, the mountain peaks reunited into one, the sunken earth bulged, and the broken earth bulged. The cracked earth's crust merged, and countless puppet gardens and steel factories destroyed by the aftermath were reborn.
Everything returned to how it was before, but Joshua, who tried his best to resist turning back time, vaguely noticed it.
In the sky, one star seemed to dim a little.
That's the only difference.
