After leaving the Joint Research Institute, Joshua planned to go directly to the void to ask the Steel Python Kallis for information about the large information database from thousands of years ago.
"Hotaru, and Rin, are you two going to accompany Hei and No. 1 on their tour of the Bankai Sacrifice, or are you going to accompany me for a walk?"
Standing on the flat sand that had been sorted out at the entrance of the Joint Research Institute, Joshua held Xiaoguang in one hand and casually asked his weapons about their next actions. He said calmly: "Or do you plan to return to Molda first?" Via? I just heard Rin and Amira chatting. There seems to be some large-scale celebration in the territory today, and you seem to be planning to host it on my behalf."
"Master, you heard me..."
Hearing this, Yingying couldn't help scratching her head. She wanted to stick out her tongue and pretend to be stupid like usual, but facing Joshua, the silver-haired girl still admitted honestly: "Yes, because I came here just to watch. Depending on your situation, Master, we don’t know whether you can wake up."
On the other side, Rin took over and explained helplessly: "Master, after all, you haven't come forward for too long, and there is some unrest in the territory, so we plan to take advantage of the celebration to appease the people, lest anyone thinks they can take the opportunity to cause chaos... But Since Master you are awake, it doesn’t matter whether you comfort or not, I will cancel this event later.”
In this regard, Joshua nodded without comment - although he looked expressionless, in fact, he was quite pleased.
Whether it is Hotaru, Rin or No. 3, or Hei and No. 1 who are already fighting fiercely with his group of students and the students of Winter Castle, they all have their own opinions and their own rhythm of life. He has his own decisions. For example, this trip to the Bankai Sacrifice was actually facilitated by Hotaru and Rin, and the following celebrations were also the same. This made Joshua feel like a child who has finally grown up.
"There is no need to cancel. I will go to the void later and ask the world next door about some things. I will probably come back later. You continue to host the festival as planned. I will ask No. 3 when I come back to see how you performed. Sample."
The warrior reached out and patted the shoulders of the Shenji siblings. He encouraged them, "I'm very happy to see that you have your own plans."
After saying that, he stepped forward, intending to go to the void, but at this moment, Joshua heard Yingying's plea, and he couldn't help but turn around and look at the Shenji siblings, wondering what was going on.
"Wait Master!"
The silver-haired girl seemed a little hesitant, but after she and Rin looked at each other, she seemed to have made up her mind. Then, Firefly took a deep breath and asked: "Master, although it is a bit too much... but when do you plan to get married? ?”
Hearing this question suddenly, Joshua could not help but squint his eyes and look at Yingying carefully - then he said rather strangely: "I have no plans yet... Why are you two little guys asking this?"
"Of course it's for the sake of the future of the Radcliffe family!"
Although there was some hesitation at first, once she opened her mouth, Yingying's words became more fluent. At this time, the silver-haired girl even said in a confident tone: "Master, you are almost thirty years old. At this time, my son... Master You are six years old! Although we can't help you, master, now... But if you are a young master, it will still be of some use. Moreover, Moldavia is so prosperous, and it will definitely continue to develop even more prosperously in the future. Yes It’s time for the Radcliffe family to grow!”
At first, Joshua listened to Yingying's words with a smile. After all, the other party was indeed the head maid of the Radcliffe family, and Shenji was indeed an important member of the family. He was naturally qualified to give advice on this matter, but After speaking, his expression slowly returned to normal, even a little serious.
Indeed, although he didn't notice it himself, he has indeed reached an age now, and his territory has become more and more prosperous. He should make his family stronger, instead of being such a lonely person now... No more Dali said that Joshua himself knew that he was not destined to manage the territory. He did not have the time or energy to care about such trivial matters. It would indeed be a good idea if a child could replace him, just like Yi Srel is now grooming DeMoore to replace him.
But does it make sense
Joshua turned his head silently. He looked around the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrificial Site. The fierce battles a thousand years ago made this plane still a poisonous wasteland. The arrival of many Mykrov Transcendents has purified a small part... A plane comparable to the mainland, protected by countless gods, and possessing god-level strength itself could be reduced to rubble. You can imagine how fierce that battle was.
He thought again of Kallis and Ilgona. These two worlds invaded by evil gods had paid a heavy price. One had just rekindled some flames, and the other was still closing itself in order to avoid the sacrifice of Mike Roone. The husband's world attracts evil spirits. Joshua didn't even need to recall what happened too long ago. He just talked about the world of Hyboria and the Sanctuary civilization that he had visited not long ago. Their endings flashed before the warrior's eyes.
When the evil god comes, a world, or even a space-time realm, is reduced to wasteland, turning into a catastrophic celestial phenomenon like a void whirlpool that is clearly visible on the void structure model. They will disappear decades later or even in a shorter period of time. To invade and return to the world where they once failed.
Does it make sense
"To be honest, I never thought about it."
Faced with Yingying, who for some reason had the courage to say this to him, Joshua said in a calm and serious tone: "Find someone you like to marry, have a child, leave a bloodline, and grow the family... This is true It’s a perfectly normal thing, but to me, this kind of thing really doesn’t make any sense.”
Ignoring the complicated expressions of the two Shenji siblings, Joshua sighed with a rare sigh. He smiled helplessly: "Whether it is marriage or the continuation of blood, it represents responsibility-and I will not even be able to do it for the next few decades." Afterwards, I don’t even know whether this world can exist. How can I set my mind to think about this matter? Did I bring him into the world just to welcome the coming of countless evil gods? That is really the worst father. .”
"If the evil god cannot be defeated, then neither the Radcliffe family nor the world of Mycroft will make sense anymore. Before defeating them, I will not do anything that will affect my 'becoming stronger'."
After speaking, he turned around and disappeared into the void, while Yingying and Rin stayed in place, not moving for a long time.
"Sister, I told you that if the master doesn't solve the future hidden danger of the evil god, he won't be able to think about other things."
After a long time, when the time and space fluctuations caused by Joshua had dissipated, the black-haired boy shook his head in frustration: "Don't we understand the master yet? Although he looks leisurely, in fact he never stops. After coming down, the distance traveled by the master in one year, the world experienced, and the number of enemies killed are things that ordinary people cannot walk, go, or do in a lifetime. The urgency in the master's heart is something that you and I should understand best. right."
"Of course I know."
To this, Yingying replied calmly. The silver-haired girl didn't seem to be worried about Joshua's answer. She just sighed slightly: "But you have to ask... get one for others who are still waiting. The answer. What’s more, the result is actually not bad.”
Having said this, she turned her head and smiled at her brother: "If, decades later, the master defeats the evil god and the world is peaceful, then won't he have time to think about this problem?"
"We may not win." Rin was amused by her sister's optimism: "It's not like we haven't seen the power of the evil god before. It's too early to think about this now."
"It doesn't matter if you lose." Yingying pursed her lips slightly, and the girl's bright green eyes turned to the direction where Joshua disappeared. She said softly: "For ideals and beliefs, to die gloriously and to break with glory is to be a warrior at heart. And the fate of weapons... What's so scary about such an ending? The master should have already made such an awareness, right?"
"What's more, I believe the master will not lose."
The short words are full of confidence.
In the void, Joshua quickly approached the world of Kallis.
The current incarnation of the warrior probably has the same energy level as when he first entered the legend, but in terms of the sophistication of the structure and the degree of control over the power, it is much higher. At least at that time, Joshua could not use it. The power of steel broadcasts, calling the will of the world in the void.
As the ripples formed by the power of steel spread layer by layer, it could be seen that an illusory shadow of the steel python appeared in the void, and then came to Joshua.
"You're awake, Joshua."
Steel Python Kallis was not surprised by this result. It nodded: "You actually took the initiative to come to me this time. It's such a rare situation. Could it be that you want to ask me for something?"
"indeed so."
Facing an old acquaintance—or, in other words, a familiar python, Joshua did not exchange too many greetings. The relationship between the two did not need to be like this. He said directly: "We in the world of Mycroft are looking for an abyssal war almost a thousand years ago. During the period, we know the general trajectory of the demiplane that was knocked away, but it is difficult to find it... So I want to ask you Steel Pythons to see if there are any clues."
"More than a thousand years ago, at that time, I was invaded by the Evil God of Famine, and all my energy was devoted to fighting against it..."
In this regard, Kallis was a little embarrassed: "To be honest, it wasn't that I didn't have the energy to observe the void at that time, but I couldn't observe it at all. The overwhelming evil god's family blocked all my vision, let alone a demiplane. If it's knocked away, I probably won't be able to detect it even if the world is destroyed."
Joshua was not surprised by this result. Kallis is indeed the steel python closest to Mycroft's world, but because of this, it also encountered the evil god war, and it is impossible to care about a small half plane. The missing track, but the warrior had no intention of getting the answer directly. He just entrusted Kallis to help collect information.
"I will send you the specific data and trajectory information of that demiplane later, which is probably around the hollow zone of the Void Vortex - with these, you can ask about the Steel Pythons you know."
He said: "Since they will send you a request for help, you can also take the opportunity to ask for similar news. This is not mandatory. If there is none, it is just to spend more time to confirm each one."
"Since it is your entrustment, I will do my best."
Although Joshua said not to force it, Kallis became serious, and the python of steel nodded solemnly: "But I must remind you, Joshua, only a world with intelligent life can have the python of steel." Python, if there is no intelligent life in the world, then the steel python will sleep... There are not many steel pythons I know, and most of them are not in good condition. The civilization in the body is primitive and backward, which means that thousands of years ago , they may not be awake.”
"That's why I said, don't force it."
Joshua shook his head. He still remembered the results of deep space observations and had already expected this possibility. Now he only proved it through Kallis' words. Thinking of this, the soldier added another sentence: "According to my It is speculated that if that demiplane collides with other worlds, it should cause a considerable space-time earthquake disaster. If you want to help, Kallis, you can start from this point."
"Is the time and space shaking? It is indeed normal. After all, it is a demiplane that was knocked away. In this way, the range should be reduced a lot."
Kallis nodded and expressed his understanding: "Then I will try to start from this aspect, please don't worry, Rekindle the Flame."
The communication between Joshua and Kallis was simple and direct, and both parties were very happy. However, after all, they had to travel through the void. By the time Joshua completed the commission and returned to the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrificial Site, it was already early morning the next day.
The early morning at the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrificial Site is particularly strange, because the radiance of the sun is like a crystal grid that gradually glows, lighting up one grid at a time. You can see the majestic energy gathering. , and finally an artificial silver sun lit up in the sky above the plane.
At this time, Joshua was not in a hurry to return to Moldavia directly. He came to the center of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Field, where his true body was.
After finishing everything, the warrior finally had time to summarize what he had gained from his journey through the void. Thinking of this, Joshua couldn't help but raise his head and look at his own body.
It can be seen that the extremely heavy silver cocoon has stopped spontaneously shrinking, and its surface layer has been completely stabilized into neutron degenerate matter. There is a layer of proton flow flowing on top of it, like a winding silver-white light. But inside it, the high-density material has stopped simple collapse, but has produced various wonderful reactions that are difficult to describe in words.
The simplest external manifestation of this reaction is expansion.
At this time, the diameter of Joshua's giant cocoon has exceeded 170 meters, and it has expanded five or six times compared to its smallest size. And this expansion is still continuing, as if something is gestating inside the cocoon.
If there are people who are familiar with Joshua, such as Nostradamus and the old pope, or Israel and the natural teacher, then they will definitely say with a smile, there must be a person in this cocoon (egg) A huge steel giant, when the giant is enough to tear the cocoon apart, the warrior's transformation will end.
But this conjecture is wrong.
Joshua's incarnation raised his head, his gaze was deep, and he could directly see past the strongest material that humans can control in the world, and directly see the inside of the giant cocoon of steel power.
What was inside was not a steel giant, but a large group of rapidly rotating, condensing bright nebulae, and an extremely shining crystal of steel power. It released pure and incomparable light, and was shrouded in hazy mist.
That was the scene when the world first opened.
Inside the cocoon is a newborn little world.
