What is life
Life is an open system. It maintains its own low-entropy state and the orderliness of its own system by eating, absorbing, and absorbing other negative entropy bodies, and expelling high entropy through metabolism.
From this point of view, the definition of life is really very broad. Human beings are undoubtedly life, and Warcraft is undoubtedly life. Elements, fairies and even constructs can be regarded as life. Even the legendary strong ones are nothing more than generals. His original life system was completely transformed and became a more efficient and powerful existence.
So, can the world be seen as life
Every time when Joshua thinks about the path he should take next, he will think about this question - if the world in his body is really born in the future, then as the ontology, 'Joshua', as a body, wraps up a world. A super life form, or is he just equal to that world? This situation cannot be confirmed yet, and we can only take one step at a time, but as to whether the world itself can be regarded as life, Joshua believes that the answer is yes.
At least, in the multiverse system that Mycroft's world is in, a 'world' that can draw energy from the void, maintain its own order, and can continue to grow, change, and evolve is essentially a world beyond ordinary people's imagination. It is a giant life, and it can even obtain its own will through the complex system in the body, that is, the various information, energy and soul circulation generated by civilized racial society, that is, the python of steel.
But there is a problem - since the world is life, then the world will eventually die, and its specific manifestations should be the end of the soul cycle, the destruction of civilization in the body, the demise of intelligent individuals, the stop of the material cycle, and the complex matter and energy The structure collapses into simple, disordered basic particles and elements, until finally, the outer wall of the world will collapse, and the entire world will turn into countless steel particles and a sea of heat slowly disappearing in the void.
In this case, why was the 'Evil God' born
Located among countless packages of 'chaos magic', Joshua felt that he saw many, many flickering lights and shadows, which were stored in the remains of the evil god, containing information about the past tens of millions or even several years. The evil god of 'Plenty' has destroyed countless worlds in the past years. In the world galaxy, the long world hollow area and even the void maelstrom may be just traces of its 'passing'.
But why was it born? This makes no sense at all! There will be undead after death. This is because the soul itself is actually a living thing and can be independent of the organization outside the body. It can also absorb free elements in the atmosphere and expel the abandoned soul structures in the body through energy exchange. The soul's The lifespan is even much longer than the human body - the undead is not dead at all in essence, it is a strange, living life!
But what about the evil god? If the evil god is the undead of the world, then it should be converted from the Steel Python. However, the existence of the Steel Python is based on intelligent civilization. If the intelligent civilization is destroyed, there will be no information flow and information in the world that can maintain the existence of the Steel Python. The reincarnation of the soul, the Steel Python is different from the human soul. When the world dies, it also dies. Order will be converted into disorder, and everything will dissipate. It will never become an evil god who can roam the multiverse and destroy other worlds. , infecting the normal order, more like the product of a 'virus' than undead.
Joshua has studied chaos for a long time, because the evil god is the real enemy in his heart, far more terrifying than the abyss and the devil. However, due to various reasons, Joshua has never directly come into contact with the so-called " Chaos', he was the result of indirect contact with the evil god's projection, dependents and erosion - but now, he is around the evil god's body.
Therefore, in the darkness that was as deep as the ten-thousand-meter-deep ocean, Joshua stretched out his hand and touched the substantial, void-like 'darkness' around him.
If the universe is an independent closed system, then the mutual conversion and transfer of energy within this system will inevitably lead to an increase in entropy.
To put it simply, if the universe is a system with extremely uneven energy distribution at the beginning, then high-temperature objects will always transfer energy to low-temperature objects, and eventually a complete balance of energy will be achieved. As a result, the macroscopic world will be completely stationary, and any Orderly movement is impossible, and everything turns into a sea of heat that is eternal and colder than death.
If we say that the nothingness before the birth of the multiverse was nothing, nothing, the 'balance' created by 'eternal stillness' is like the eternal, disordered but balanced sea of heat after heat death. So the so-called initial fire is to forcefully stuff the information of 'existence' into nothingness.
It disrupts the original balance, distinguishes between high and low temperatures, light and dark, and, naturally, life and death.
High energy will transfer energy to low energy. This is the beginning of movement, and it is also the source of the breaking of 'eternal stillness' and the birth of all things in the world.
But now, what Joshua is doing is similar to the initial fire lighting up the void and creating the multiverse.
He lit his own 'fire' so that all the chaos around him was no longer dark and disorderly, but became orderly.
In the central black forest, in the deepest part of the Spring of Chaos, Joshua stood indifferently in the center of the bottomless chaotic magic. Now, a silver flame was burning in his palm, and this flame was constantly emitting streams of essence. The flowing light illuminates the surrounding darkness.
No, perhaps, we should not say 'illumination', but 'erosion'!
It can be seen that the flame in the center of Joshua's palm emits an extremely bright light. Once this light comes into contact with the chaotic magic power, it will quickly dissolve into nothingness - but if you look closely, you will find that the essence of this light is actually A series of extremely tiny aggregates of steel power! These polymers release light that can be detected by the naked eye due to their high energy. This is the essence of optical flow.
These aggregates of steel power, which can only be observed through nanoscale microscopes at most, are constantly eroding the surrounding chaotic magic, converting it into the energy they need, and then rapidly replicating themselves. This process is completely It was an exponential growth. Soon, all the deep chaotic magic power around Joshua was eaten away by these self-replicating and self-increasing steel particles, and completely disappeared!
If they were other beings who had come into contact with the magic of chaos, they would definitely be stunned when they saw this scene - you know, in the past, only the magic of chaos eroded the matter of order, how could there be a saying that the power of order would in turn swallow up chaos
But Joshua knows that there is nothing surprising in this. Since chaos and nothingness can be converted into order, then order must also be able to swallow nothingness and chaos - otherwise, where did the earliest world come from? At that time, there were no naturally occurring steel crystals or void beasts that could give birth to the prototype of the world. The so-called erosion is just because the Chaos Demon is too powerful and suppresses order.
As long as you are strong enough, you don't have to worry about erosion.
In the giant silver cocoon, Joshua rebuilt his thinking organ. He used the power of steel to construct computing matrices, control devices and storage facilities in his body. He used the divine soul network and super-light speed. Particles serve as a medium for information transmission and input and output. This is a thinking system that completely surpasses humans and supercomputers in the usual sense, and can provide incredible computing power.
Through this thinking system, Joshua can now easily control a large area of nanometer or even atomic-sized microscopic particles, and control them to make different actions. Relying on the processing ability down to the microscopic level, the warrior designed for himself a cluster of steel particles that was completely under his control and could reproduce and reproduce itself, which was a magical version of the 'Von Neumann Machine'.
It can use the program designed by Joshua as an action template, constantly absorb the high-energy magic and materials around it, and then replicate itself. In the design, it can even be released into a world completely infected by chaotic magic, and then Swallowing all the power of chaos in the crazy self-replication, converting it into an ordinary, lifeless world... If Joshua adds normal matter to its self-replication program, then it will be considered as swallowing a world , it’s just a matter of spending a little more time.
The flame in Joshua's palm is actually the factory that manufactures the 'Steel Cluster', and the light is the trajectory and channel of the 'Steel Cluster''s actions. The light shining through the darkness means that the surrounding chaotic magic power has been completely swallowed up. Everything is controlled in Joshua's hands, swallowed up and corroded by his steel power! Occupied by complete order!
This is the weapon that Joshua has thought hard about and created against world-class chaos. It belongs entirely to his 'Light of Symmetra'!
"The concentration of chaotic magic power has dropped significantly, and the information flow of the Evil God of Abundance has disappeared within the observable range. However, the main body of the Chaos Fountain is intact and the underlying structure is still covered up."
An endless stream of information was fed back from the Steel Cluster to Joshua's thinking network. The next moment, he mentally ordered in a deep voice: "Remove the first restriction and continue to release 'Symmetra'!"
Suddenly, at the bottom of the dark spring of chaos, silver radiance flourished, and immeasurable chaos boiled.
In the center of the black forest, around the Spring of Chaos, countless misty dark mist surges, eroding the surrounding space and everything. Here, the soil and rocks, together with the black forest, are converted into an extremely weird and strange substance. It is extremely inert and hardly reacts with any energy.
High in the sky in the center of the black forest, more than a dozen cracks opened in the space, and from each crack, a white-gold rattan emerged. Many bulging translucent crystals were exposed on the rattan, which was exactly The observation organ of the legendary Warcraft Platinum Vine Mother is currently monitoring every move of the Fountain of Chaos and waiting for the arrival of other human legends.
The human legend of the Northern Empire, that Joshua Van Radcliffe has entered the Fountain of Chaos alone, has been informed by it to other legendary powerhouses, whether it is the Prison Sky Dragon who is controlling the turbulent monsters or the still The human legends who were cleaning up the black forest were stunned by this. They did not complain about the soldiers' recklessness. They seemed to have been used to it, or thought it was normal. But even so, two legendary strongmen temporarily stopped their hands. Cleaning operation, but rushed here, ready to assist Joshua in suppressing the magic of chaos.
And now, they have arrived. The platinum vines located in the south and east trembled. It sensed that two high-energy beings were flying from high in the sky at dozens of times the speed of sound. It was not the full strength of the other party, but considering In order to avoid having too much impact on the environment of Mycroft's world, this is already considered a rush.
Soon, two streams of light fell from the sky and came to the center of the black forest. They could be seen to be two women. One of them had long green hair and long elf ears, while the other had a special crystal plate hair texture. But he couldn't see his face clearly.
The two of them were the natural teacher Galan Nord and the East China Sea sage Faina. As legendary strong men, the two had known each other for a long time. After simply nodding to each other, they both looked at the vines sticking out of the cracks in the space. Tiao, feeling the gazes of the two legends, the Platinum Vine Mother shook her limbs slightly and whispered in a distorted voice: "The Flame Prison Lord has entered the Fountain of Chaos for a long time. Although these chaotic magic powers are thick, they can't do anything to him, but I I’m afraid that he will come into contact with the evil god’s true form and lose himself due to the impact of the evil god’s information flow.”
Joshua's well-known battles in Mycroft include suppressing the beast tide, smashing the time and space gate in the North, slaying the White Dragon in the North, the battle in the Blood Moon Abyss, the battle with the Church of the Seven Gods, and the battle on the Holy Mountain. Battle of Dragonscourge. In these battles, Joshua showed powerful high-heat power and pure destructive power. The place after his battle was like hell, and according to intelligence, Joshua had the power to create a 'sun', and even his legend The true form is driven by using a miniature sun as a power source.
Coupled with the daily joking names uploaded from the Lord's Mansion, the title "Fire Lord" has gradually become the current nickname for Joshua. It can not only express the essence of Joshua's power and majesty, but also refer to who he is. The lord of Moldavia and the warrior himself didn't seem to reject it either.
"I believe in the power of Flame Prison Lord."
In response, Faina nodded lightly. She had returned from the Star Sea World, and had even had certain exchanges with the Atrium Civilization. Naturally, she knew the origin of the other party's title of 'Fire Prison Lord', so she simply called her that. The sage looked around the surrounding environment and couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "But the situation around here seems to have worsened compared to thirty years ago - Mother Vine, haven't you restricted these chaotic forces recently?"
In this regard, Teng Mu also appropriately expressed her helplessness: "Originally, I and the Platinum Ancient Dragon sealed this place together, but in recent years and years ago, it divided into countless parts and repeated the cycle of life. Before it returned, I, Teng Mu, It’s really unbearable.”
This was indeed a helpless matter, and Faina didn't say much. However, just as she lowered her head, ready to take a closer look at the current situation of the Fountain of Chaos, and then consider how to help Joshua, the natural man on the other side The instructor let out a light sigh.
"Wait, something's wrong."
Jialan Nord frowned - this time, she came in a clone, but this clone contained 45% of the power of the natural teacher, which was enough in most cases, but just now, Jialan Nord came Lannold felt an extremely terrifying power that could threaten the life safety of her clone: "There are changes inside the Fountain of Chaos, we need to be prepared-"
Just when the natural teacher was about to warn Faina and Vine Mother to be careful, suddenly, a few scattered silver light spots suddenly lit up in the fountain of chaos that was originally deep and dark, like a bottomless abyss. In the rolling chaos of darkness, something more terrifying seems to be expanding, as if it wants to tear this surface apart.
"This is!"
On the side, Faina, who had discussed the mutual strength with Joshua at close range, narrowed her pupils. She had already noticed the essence of those silver light spots. The sage stood in mid-air, she held up a psychic shield, and then He said in an extremely serious voice: "This is Radcliffe's power of steel!"
And the next moment, following Faina's voice, a dazzling stream of light broke through the dark outer layer of the Fountain of Chaos and shot directly into the sky of the central black forest!
Rumbling - Suddenly, black clouds rolled, thunder exploded one after another, and with the sound of thunder as the accompaniment, the spring of chaos, which was originally like a lake, quietly gushing on the ground, suddenly spewed violently like a fountain. A black stream of chaotic magic power came out. Whether it was the Platinum Vine Mother, Garan Nord or Faina, they all quickly retreated to get out of the way. However, this black chaotic magic power had just flown halfway when it was quickly struck from the inside out. 'Convert' to sparkling silver light!
Crash la la la - the silver brilliance dissipated in mid-air and turned into 'heavy rain' composed of fine crystals. This rain fell from the sky and fell on the material that had been corroded by the magic of chaos for hundreds of years. It was unknown what kind of material it had become. On the ground, suddenly, with a faint hissing sound, black smoke rose crazily, and the originally hard, black land immediately turned into large tracts of white and yellow gravel, with silvery white light shining on the gravel. The inner layer surges like a pulsating blood vessel.
In just a few dozen seconds, almost 60% of the eroded land was purified by silver light. Two legendary powerhouses and a legendary monster stared at this scene with wide eyes. At this time, the originally dark The Fountain of Chaos has turned into a piece of beautiful, yet extremely dangerous and terrifying silver amber! It was not a lake, but condensed amber. Countless steel clusters gathered into a translucent solid structure, allowing the three legends to clearly see Joshua standing at the bottom of the original Chaos Fountain.
And Joshua also saw them. The soldier raised his head and nodded to the natural teacher and others who were so high up in the sky that normal people couldn't even see them from a distance of several thousand meters. He said hello. In an instant, Finally, when Joshua was sure that the surrounding chaotic environment had been almost purified, he raised the 'flame' in his right hand.
And with the movement of the warrior, all the pulsating clusters of condensed steel turned into mist, and then gathered together, like streams of silver tornado light, being sucked into the inconspicuous silver mass. In the flames, this recycling process only took a few dozen seconds.
From the beginning to the end, from the change in the Fountain of Chaos to the burst of silver light, purifying the surrounding environment, it only took less than a minute. The source of chaos that originally caused everyone in Mycroft's world great distress but didn't know how to deal with it was so easily wiped out by Joshua. And all of this really happened between the natural teachers, Faina and Platinum Vine. In the eyes of two mothers and one beast.
"this… "
Faina, who originally thought she was calm and rational, resisted the urge to exclaim. She blinked her eyes and whispered: "Is this a specialization in the art? Is the inheritor of the sage so good at purifying chaos?"
But why doesn’t the Church of the Seven Gods have such a method
"It's almost like a natural enemy."
On the other side, the natural teacher patted her chest. She narrowed her eyes and tried her best to suppress her frightened thoughts: "And this light... is alive!"
Garan Nord was indeed right. Joshua's Symmetra and the cluster of steel he created are just like the black mist created by the Sanctuary civilization. They are 'living power'. This power constitutes what he is today. Incarnation, the silver light is not only alive, but also a part of Joshua's current thinking and life.
But Joshua, who was deep under the original Fountain of Chaos, didn't care about the thoughts of his friends in the sky. At this time, the warrior had noticed that there was a twisted mass deep in the ground not far away from him. , it is completely impossible to observe the chaotic aperture inside it with the naked eye.
Its radius is about forty meters, which is not very large compared to the area originally occupied by the Chaos Fountain. And on the periphery of this aperture, there is a majestic dark chaotic aura that is being generated. The surrounding area was originally purified with great difficulty. The fallen land and rocks were suddenly eroded again, and the bottomless darkness was rapidly restoring.
There is no doubt that that is where the last remnant of the Evil God of Fertility lies.
So Joshua stepped forward without hesitation and approached the spreading chaotic magic. He ignored the advice and stops from Galan Nord, Faina and others in the sky, and strode to the distorted aperture.
Joshua raised his hand, as if he wanted to touch this circle of light. In his hand, there was silver light flowing.
He hit the aperture.
The Moldavia Lord's Palace officially guarantees that we will never be the first to use Symmetra against non-Chaos entities.
