Whether Joshua could feel fear or not, no one knew.
But at this time, Priest and others' moods fluctuated greatly, from extreme fear to extreme joy, and they had gone back and forth seven or eight times.
"Are we still alive now? No matter how we feel, we seem to be dead."
Standing next to the observation deck of the Akrafa Hub, the caster said to himself with a numb face - this question was not surprising, because he really couldn't figure out whether he was alive or dead.
From the beginning, when everyone saw the natural power of the natural teacher appearing high in the sky, everyone was very excited, because no matter who came, it proved that the powerful people in Mycroft's world had received their signal. Get here as quickly as possible.
But then, when they saw countless tentacles of chaos rising from the depths of the earth, showing a terrifying and world-destroying posture, everyone's hearts immediately sank to the bottom again. Looking at this posture, even the legendary strongman seemed to be unable to dissuade him. Well, not to mention, can the Akrafa hub where they are located really resist the erosion of these chaos before the legendary powerhouse arrives
Soon, the prepared counterattack of Akrafa hub, and the counterattack was disintegrated by the weakening wave of the weakened evil god, once again made the elite team and Sur feel ups and downs, and they performed a perfect 360-degree rotation. , and the natural teacher’s subsequent sweeping attack once again brought hope to everyone.
Four huge tentacles extend into the underground of the planet, and the battle between order and chaos seems to have entered a fever pitch.
However, after a short moment, the four tentacles hurriedly pulled away and left in a hurry as if fleeing disaster.
—Chaos is so terrifying that it even makes a legendary strong man fear it!
When Priest saw this scene, he felt a variety of complicated emotions in his heart. He did not think that the legendary powerhouse would dare not face the evil god, but facts proved that facing the source of chaos within the planet, perhaps ordinary legends It was indeed no opponent... But he didn't see any traces of chaos erosion on the tentacles that were pulled out, as huge as mountains.
why? He obviously didn't seem to have the upper hand.
He soon knew the answer.
Because as the world barrier was completely shattered in a loud bang, Priest O'Mini, a resident of Moldavia, a student of the Champions Academy of Winterfort, a member of the Empire's External Exploration Department, and a disciple of the Earl of the North, felt that his teacher The violent and shuddering breath.
Along with it, there is a giant beast of the void that is almost as big as half a planet and is constantly struggling.
"My teacher..." Everything was explained, and the young soldier couldn't help but groaned: "So it's you who are here..."
"Seven gods above..."
Seeing this scene, the crystal ball that the cleric was playing with fell to the ground. He was dumbfounded as he watched the huge stars high in the sky fall straight down at an incredible speed. The bright fire was even more dazzling than the sun. Light up the whole world.
The knight sat on the ground, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and watched with fear as the trajectory of September in the sky was disturbed by the sudden appearance of the star, spinning crazily and falling in an extremely terrifying trend, flying in the void.
"Wow!"
Su Er rolled her eyes and seemed to want to faint directly, but because she fainted once before, she was still very conscious and could only stay awake without tears, and then hugged Pris who had long been numb. Special's hand - As for the alchemist, he poured himself a bottle of courageous potion that was said to be able to face the might of the dragon, but it was obviously of no use. How could the approaching pressure from the sky be comparable to that of a mere giant dragon? The alchemist doubted that he would be of any use even if he drank and vomited, but in order to block his mouth that couldn't help making sounds, he kept pouring potions into himself.
Only the Repair Light Pillar was ready to move in the hall, constantly squirming in its light pillar-like form, as if it wanted to fly directly into the sky, but soon, the only one who was relatively sober among the crowd, Puri Ste immediately took control of the Akrafa hub and issued perhaps his loudest order in recent times.
"Full defense system activated - don't worry about anything that can't be far away, everything is overloaded!!!"
And just as the Akrafa Hub, which faithfully followed the instructions, wrapped itself in seven or eight layers of Glorious Era void battleship-level shields.
Along with the giant crab and the steel giant, they descended with an unstoppable force.
The planet is shaking.
First, there is the matter that explodes.
Using the back of the Void Crab as the contact point, the large amount of soil, seawater and rock formations that hit the edge were like squeezed butter. They vaporized and boiled in the terrifying frictional heat, and then flew out of the atmosphere. More materials were Like ripples caused by water waves, while spreading in other directions of the planet, it was thrown directly into the cold vacuum.
Immediately afterwards, there was the torn and fragmented atmosphere and shock waves.
In an instant, all the trees on the planet's surface were destroyed. High-heat shock waves mixed with earthquakes that turned the soil into water waves, twisted and ignited the entire world. This force broke up the entire atmosphere and turned it into a ball floating in the vacuum. Irregular clouds and mist, the evaporated seawater continuously increases the size of the clouds and mist, and even condenses into balls of water in the vacuum.
Finally, there is the fragmentation of the planet.
The crust exploded, and the mantle was no longer a prototype. Under the impact of the destroying star, a planet fell apart like this. It can be seen that countless small pieces of material debris were thrown away at a rapid speed, and those large pieces of the planet's crust also soon fell apart. Will catch up... No.
Although both the atmosphere and small pieces of the ground disintegrated with the violent impact, the large piece of crust that sealed the world was not completely broken. It was thrown into the vacuum and turned into a group of asteroids, accompanied by layers of dark colors. With the flash of light, most of the matter was absorbed by an inexplicable force and remained in its original state, maintaining the existence of a planet.
At this time, the battle between Joshua and the Great Khan seemed to make the two of them not notice this.
At this time, the materialized body of the furious Great Khan's soul began to gradually become thinner. The behemoth of the void, which was as large as half a planet and comparable to a small or medium-sized world, dissipated into the invisible as if it were an illusion, and was completely different from the previous one. At the same time, Joshua felt as if an invisible syringe, with a medicine that caused severe pain and discomfort, was inserted straight into his brain.
Although Joshua has no brain at this time, and his whole body is filled with "immortal units" that can be used for calculation and thinking, this feeling is roughly described in human language. It is an abnormal order. The feeling of disgust is like a seed taking root into the cortex, a fungus spore seeping into the flesh and growing, the invisible hammer of the soul bombarding every calculation element that the warrior can use to think, and with a sound In the dull knocking sound, something huge and abnormal was forcibly nailed into his soul.
It's the Great Khan.
It is the soul of the Great Khan.
The eight-legged fungus was not originally eight-legged.
As a special variant of a certain kind of zombie fungus, they gave birth to souls due to the naturally rich environment of their hometown, and their self-consciousness was born very early because of the independent thinking organ of the soul.
The eight-legged fungi at that time were just a species that parasitized small insect creatures such as ants and bees.
All the processes were long, difficult, and natural. With the unity of wisdom and instinct, the eight-legged fungi quickly ensured the continuation and existence of their own civilized community. Taking advantage of the short life and death, the eight-legged fungi continued to survive generation after generation. A generation rapidly evolved and grew larger, making its body and soul more complex and closer to magic. Soon, in a period of millions of years that is not long in the history of biology, it can even be said to be short, they finally A thinking ability that can be called wisdom was born, as well as a thick mushroom body that was complex enough to use magic.
From then on, not only insects, but also more reptiles and mammals with more complex brains can also become the targets of their parasitism and control.
This was the beginning of the Shepherd civilization.
Eight legs, Void Cancer? No, this has never been the true nature of the Shepherd. For the Shepherd whose body is subject to life and death and only the soul is immortal, what can truly represent their essence is the soul.
But now, the Great Khan, who has already achieved the achievement of soul materialization and is powerful enough to control the spirits of twenty-four giant void beasts at the same time, has decisively rushed his soul into Joshua's spiritual sea. .
Eat your brain? Control your nerves? This is something that the Shepherds stopped doing a long time ago. If it were not for the sake of having a body that can move smoothly in the material world and express emotions, no Shepherd would insist on maintaining his weird fungus column. Directly occupy the bodies of other low-intelligent creatures through soul erosion.
The same goes for the Great Khan.
Fighting in the material world is not what it is good at. It wants to start directly from the spiritual aspect and completely erode this powerful enemy!
In the vast dark spiritual sea, Joshua's soul incarnation resides in the center, quietly watching countless mycelium spores falling from the sky like rain, eroding the entire spiritual space.
He didn't seem to be in a hurry, even if all his mental space was occupied, it meant that his soul had lost its place of residence.
"Fungi? It turns out that it is similar to the plague evil god's mother civilization, and there are resident creatures like Herras."
The warrior whispered to himself, somewhat understanding why the other party was able to control so many giant void beasts. As for the parasites, he had no objection. Just as people eat cattle and sheep, the parasites are just another kind of food. To this, he smiled softly and said: "Want to eat my soul? He’s quite a quick thinker.”
"Is this your soul? Ancestor Galactus, you have indeed been eroded by fear, which is why you have never walked out of this lost galaxy for such a long time."
In the spiritual sea, the vibrations of the Great Khan's soul resounded in countless squirming hyphae. This vibration ignored language and directly inserted the meaning of words into another soul. This powerful eight-legged fungus said in a cold tone: "Short." , thin, shallow, not worth mentioning, even the leader of my tribe is superior to you in terms of soul."
This is indeed the case - the Great Khan's soul is so huge that it can manifest itself in the spiritual space as huge as a giant beast in the void, while Joshua's soul incarnation is only a mere shadow compared to the huge steel giant. The size of a human being.
The soul cannot lie. The difference in size is the difference in strength.
Joshua was not angry about this... He didn't need to be angry. The warrior shook his head indifferently, then grabbed the interesting point in the other person's words and asked: "Ancestors, long time, and the lost galaxy?"
"Your views on this world galaxy seem very strange. Can you explain it in detail?"
When he said this, Joshua didn't seem to have any sense of urgency. He naturally had mental space and could move very fast. He didn't have to worry about the evil god waking up in this short period of time. Secondly, he seemed confident and didn't seem to be aware of the soul gap between the two parties. worry.
—As long as you explain it well, I won’t be able to spare your lives in the future.
Naturally, the Great Khan didn't know what was going on in Joshua's mind. He was just confused about Joshua's lack of resistance. Even if his soul was weak, as the master of the spiritual sea, the warrior should have used all kinds of native weapons. The advantage hindered his own erosion, but for some reason, the other party actually remained motionless and allowed himself to erode... There is no value in not talking about this kind of news, even if it is to maintain the other party's inaction, the Great Khan felt that telling the other party this to the outside world There must be nothing wrong with information that everyone knows.
"You, who have been isolated from the world for at least twelve thousand years, have completely forgotten the galaxy outside and your once glorious identity. You don't even know that the galaxy you are in is strange... It's really sad."
It laughed at Joshua's ignorance, but even so, when the Great Khan talked about the ancestral civilization and the catastrophe of the multiverse at least 12,000 years ago, its tone was serious and full of respect. The brilliance and generosity of the former ancestral civilization praised the virtues of upgrading unenlightened life. Even the Shepherds have received huge benefits from the ancestral civilization. They will not forget this kindness, so they will remember it all in Heart.
"The Ancestral Civilization blocked the World Eaters' army, sealed all the World Eaters in their own world galaxy, and did not let half of the World Eaters leave... So although everything happened extremely suddenly, all the prototypes of outside civilization They all survived and developed into what they are today.”
At this point, the Great Khan snorted coldly: "But don't think too much - what we respect is the original ancestral civilization, not the guys who have been huddled in this lost galaxy and have not made any progress for thousands of years!"
As he spoke, the Great Khan eroded the mental space as much as possible, but in the process of erosion, it discovered with confusion that Joshua still had no idea of 'resistance' at this time, but lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
"The Ancestral Civilization... Why does it sound so much like the aggregation of the Sanctuary Alliance and the Glorious Era? Maybe there are a few other shadows of other void civilizations that are not as advanced as the Glorious Era and the Sanctuary Alliance, but are still powerful..."
Joshua's soul incarnation murmured to himself, seemingly lost in thought: "The World Eater is the evil god. If there are no surprises, that so-called war should be the final battle of the year."
But one happened twelve hundred years ago.
One occurred at least twelve thousand years ago.
Is it space-time expansion
But it’s too long…
The galaxy was moved to the edge of the multiverse, and the gap between civilization and the outside world was more than ten thousand years due to the expansion of time and space. Joshua raised his head and looked at the hyphae in front of him.
For these shepherds, for these civilizations in the galaxies in the outside world, more than ten thousand years have passed since that war. The past wars have become dusty myths, and the past myths have become fragmented ancient rumors. Everything has been Time, the most powerful force in the world, is covered up by the greatest illusion. No one knows the specific events of that year.
This is a 'seal'.
Joshua suddenly understood the meaning of all this.
Yes, this is a seal—far stronger and more reliable than any magic circle, far more reliable and practical than any suppression. This is a prison called time, a seal called years!
The space-time expansion effect caused the millennium of Mycroft's world to become the ten thousand years of the outside world, turning the stars and rivers of the multiverse upside down and twisting the world. In this short period of thousands of years, the Starfall Civilization, which grew up from the corpse of the Glorious Civilization, has just taken its first steps. , but the evil gods from the outside world have been preparing for thousands of years and are about to embark on the next journey of destruction across all realms.
"We, it turns out, are a sealed civilization."
Joshua suddenly realized it. He raised his head, looked at the dark sky of the spiritual sea, and whispered to himself: "Under this trick of manipulating time, I only discovered this now... brilliant, so brilliant. This kind of trick The seal moistens things so quietly that neither the person being sealed nor the onlookers can tell anything is wrong."
Talking to himself, the warrior stopped talking and could only hear the sound of mycelial erosion in the spiritual sea. Naturally, the Great Khan could not understand Joshua's psychological changes at this time, and could only attribute it to being 'shocked by the truth' unable to resist'.
"Wait, why... I have been eroding for so long, but it seems that I haven't occupied much space in this spiritual sea."
But slowly, even the Great Khan gradually discovered something was wrong: "How big is this spiritual sea?! It's impossible. How can such a weak soul have such a large spiritual space?!"
At the same time, a laughter that seemed to be suppressed, but eventually became more and more bold came from the center of this spiritual sea.
"Haha... Hahahaha!! Use so many methods to seal it, even distorting time."
Looking up at the black sky, Joshua seemed to be able to see the infinite stars in the multiverse outside. He laughed loudly and happily.
"Take the galaxy out of the multiverse and place it in the edge corner to compress time... It turns out that 'He' will be afraid too!"
The Great Khan couldn't understand what the weird guy in front of him was laughing at at all. He was just disturbed by the laughter and was very irritated, so he impatiently stretched out a mushroom column and aimed hard at Joshua's position. Hit it hard.
It knows that this move is useless. No matter how weak Joshua's soul is, it has the power to move freely in the spiritual space, so it is too lazy to spend effort to strangle the soul on the opposite side. Instead, it erodes the spiritual space wholeheartedly, starting from the source. Cutting off the origin of the warrior's soul.
But soon, the Great Khan discovered that something was wrong.
Joshua did not avoid the fungus column that was pulled down with all his strength, nor was he shattered by the blow.
The warrior raised his hand, stretched out his index finger, and with a soul no stronger than that of an ordinary extremely strong person, blocked this spiritual blow that was far beyond the ordinary legend and could blast his entire soul into powder.
"To be honest, your soul is indeed very powerful. I estimate that even spiritual mentor William is not as good as you in terms of pure soul strength, and his skills should be similar. In his battle with you, he will definitely meet an opponent and a good talent. Maybe that bard will still lose to you, anything is possible."
Stopping his laughter, perhaps because in his own mental space, his inner thoughts were directly turned into words, Joshua shook his head: "Unfortunately, since the last time we had a discussion, William has never played this kind of spirit with me again. He has played a lot of games, and I don’t know his current strength.”
As he spoke, the soldier picked a little bit casually. Suddenly, the Great Khan's fungus column broke from the root, and then was shattered by an inexplicable force. It turned into milky white soul light powder that filled the sky, and dissipated in this darkness and silence. spiritual space.
"I actually don't have a soul - to be precise, my thinking organ is powerful enough that I can fight and think at super high speeds without a soul. It's just for the convenience of my incarnation, so I molded a little soul to show you."
Looking at the Great Khan who seemed to have noticed something was wrong and was shrinking his soul power to prepare for an attack, Joshua showed an indifferent smile: "From the beginning, I have been invincible without a soul, let alone , you still don’t know many things, for example, my spiritual space is called the ‘soul abyss’ by others.”
With that said, ripples began to appear in the spiritual space around the warrior. With Joshua as the center, the dark and silent spiritual sea suddenly began to stir up strong winds and huge waves. Everything began to twist and shake violently, accompanied by With endless howls and screams, roars and whines, accompanied by the desolate and heroic horn sounds that seemed to come from afar, the endless sea of dead souls and soul skeletons just passed through the twisted space, out of thin air. Appeared everywhere above the spiritual sea.
Boundless, endless—their number is uncountable, but even by the smallest estimate, it exceeds millions and millions.
The deep and dark spiritual sea is no longer as peaceful as before. In the deep bottom of the darkness and nothingness, countless voices of existence can be heard praising and singing. They are old people, children, men, women, human beings, and so on. Beasts, they praise, scream, curse, sing, sometimes they groan, sometimes rebuke, sometimes whisper, sometimes chuckle.
The remains of countless beasts, humans, aliens, and chaotic monsters are flying in the air, wandering, soaring, and swimming. They are rolling, jumping, expanding, and shrinking, like a nightmare within a nightmare. Countless noisy voices are heard in the originally silent and empty space. swirling and mixed in the spiritual sea, they condensed together, and finally turned into the most naked hatred, the strongest murderous intention, and the most undisguised malice.
And Joshua just stood in the midst of endless malice. He stretched out his hand and stroked the top of the skull of a monster beast, not paying attention to the smelly blood on it or its whine. All the undead ducked down when they approached him. Worshiping, as if bowing to the human being who killed them, the giant god who destroyed everything.
Huge eyeballs composed of countless wreckage, broken weapons, blood, skulls, burning metal, icy sand, damaged city walls and fortresses, magma and other things full of destruction and death appeared behind the warrior. , its pupil is a planet that has been mostly swallowed and has lost its star core. The hollow planet is spinning, releasing the breath of death.
Staring at this huge eye of death, the Great Khan felt a cold feeling spreading deep in his soul. At this point, he must admit that he had underestimated the ancestor Galactus in front of him.
How many lives had he killed and how many existences had he destroyed to have such terrifying evil thoughts lingering in the depths of his soul
This question remains unanswered.
Because Joshua’s last voice echoed in the air of the world.
"For example, I actually know how to do the 'matter-spirit transformation' trick."
The lingering sound disappeared, and Joshua in human form turned into pieces of silver mist and disappeared.
And the next moment, something seemed to be slowly rising in the depths of the spiritual sea that was dark and huge, far beyond the Great Khan's imagination.
As the endless black water descended rapidly, Joshua's spiritual space finally revealed its true form - it was a bottomless, endless dark abyss, and there seemed to be something red at the bottom of the abyss. It is rolling, and a giant hand that covers the sky and seems to be able to hold the entire world is stretching out from the depths of the abyss. It ignores all fragile and useless counterattacks and grabs directly towards the incarnation of the Great Khan. fungal body.
Pfft.
With a ridiculous sound, the giant god held it in the palm of his hand and squeezed it gently, just like a person carefully pinching a sparrow in the palm of his hand, being careful not to crush it to death.
The Eyes of Death stared at all this silently.
Now.
Who is afraid
I have a serious problem with the writing... Yesterday's update, today's update, I'll see if I can write it out tonight.
Please give me a monthly ticket at the beginning of the month!
