Chaos is a strange thing.
Thousands of years ago, before the sages were born and the Era of Glory had not yet begun. In an era when magic and fighting spirit had not been created by the sages, humans had already come into contact with chaos.
But the strange thing is that initially, chaos did not exist as a malicious adjective.
It is a neutral word.
'Order' and 'chaos' are enemies, 'existence' and 'nothingness' are in opposition. The initial fire burns chaos, fills nothingness, and produces existence. And existence is divided into all things of order. After their destruction, they are the remains of chaos.
When the wreckage and the initial fire dissipate, everything will return to chaos, and the flame will be rekindled from the ashes to create everything again. This is the world cycle confirmed by the sages, the never-ending cycle of fire.
Chaos is not evil or malicious. It does not represent destruction, nor is it a symbol of the end. It is the fuel of fire, representing the original form of all things, and is the oldest concept.
—It used to be.
In the soul space, Joshua Van Radcliffe controlled his sun-like soul and crashed into the star-shaped defensive barrier of the weakened evil god at five times the normal speed.
A simple, direct, pure impact without any bells and whistles. There is no sound or shock wave in the world of the soul.
But such a simple impact contains infinite power and incredible skills - time is controlled by a man, which is a power beyond the world.
So, at the moment when the silver sun hits the black galaxy.
Everything is broken.
The silver power of steel burned the mist of chaos, and the black barrier shell of the weakened evil god that could not be analyzed by any method and could not be penetrated by light was finally completely shattered into countless fragments.
It can be seen that those dirty and incomprehensible things, no one knows what they are, but they are the body of the evil god that can corrode people's hearts and corrupt all things, and they begin to rapidly decompose and decay under the dual power of the warrior and itself.
Can hear the sound of crying.
"...The sun is broken?!"
"What's going on? All the void outposts have been destroyed, and we can't get any news from the outside world at all!"
"... It makes no sense, my compatriots. Our world is isolated by space-time storms. High-energy rays caused by the destruction of the sun flood the world. The microscopic level is already in chaos, and it is impossible for our technology to make any progress."
"Move underground and live on the heat of the earth's core? Come on, we are a race with wings that can fly in the sky!"
Fragmented sounds, accompanied by looming illusions, emerged from the shattered evil god's barrier. Endless whispers came from the unrecognizable void, becoming a disturbing background sound. Among the illusions that emerged one after another, You can see incredible scenes.
As countless creatures with wings raised their hands in shock, in the sky, a large energy crystal sun shattered like glass. Thousands of sun fragments turned into meteorites and fell to the sky and the earth. At the same time, outside the void, something The time and space storm that makes all things tremble is approaching. It beats the barriers of the world and cuts off the connections between the worlds. Countless bright worlds are dimmed because of this. Even if there is a little tenacious persistence, it is not known how long it can last.
"Fifty-seven years have passed and I have almost forgotten the feeling of flying..."
"There is no sun, technological progress is blocked, and there is no way to travel to the outside world. Now you are still engaging in civil strife and seizing power. Isn't this suicide?!"
"Bang!"
"... Starting from today, the provisional military government of Taidel will take over the management of seventeen underground shelters such as Pola, Dirk, and Aland. Citizens, please obey the government's management and hand over all private weapons... "
The silver sun showed no curiosity or pity. He hit it again, shattering all the cantilevers of the weak evil god behind the barrier. It could be seen that only the core of the vortex in the center of the originally huge dark galaxy was left. It could be vaguely seen that at the end of the vortex, In the center, something profound is stirring.
"They control all key departments, hide their technology, and implement a policy of obscuring the people!"
"But what can be done? They are so generous with food and enjoyment that no one will follow us to resist."
"Even if one day we can return to the ground, we will no longer be us... "
"Ha... the important thing is that when that day comes, our race will still exist."
Joshua coldly swept away all the illusions, and the silver crystal light stream tore through the vortex and penetrated deep into it.
Of course, he certainly knew that these illusions were the memories of the destroyed world and civilization before the weakened evil god became the 'evil god' - when he completely shattered the opponent's chaotic structure and removed the mist and the things hidden in the body. When the information was bombarded, it proved that part of the essence of the weak evil god was shattered by him.
Mercy? Sad? Haha, where did an innocent baby come from? Faced with the resentment caused by the destruction of a world, the demise of a race, and the end of a civilization, no one is qualified to show mercy.
That's the evil god.
The World Eater who travels around the world and destroys infinite civilizations!
Especially these resentments are probably just weapons created by some more powerful beings.
Giving up thinking, giving up listening, giving up observing, in order not to be affected by the chaotic fluctuations of the weakening evil god, Joshua gave up all his perceptions. He sealed himself in his 'self-world', and then relied on the program he had reserved to simply Colliding neatly into the vortex of chaos.
As the majestic power of steel silently dissolved chaos, the warrior completely shattered all the structures of the weakened evil god.
So, in this moment.
The evil god of weakness is shattered.
The dark galaxy shattered suddenly, and the silver sun was bounced away by a sudden and huge force. Then, with an extremely dark flash of light, it penetrated the soul space where Joshua was fighting the weak evil god, and an extremely huge hole appeared in the space. into the space, and a mighty and strange river rushed out of the hole, quickly forming a sea below the entire soul space.
And the silver sun that was bounced away, Joshua's soul, also turned into a human form again in confusion and awe, staring at the turbulent sea at his feet.
"This sea... is the essence of the evil god after it is broken?"
Even though he had defeated the evil god, Joshua still did not smile. He frowned and said to himself that he could not confirm whether this speculation was true or false, but after he shattered all the evil god's structures, this may be the only possibility.
The evil god that posed a strong threat to the warriors has disappeared, and this sea is its ruined nature.
What makes up the sea is a strange spiritual existence. In Joshua's eyes, its shape is like translucent and extremely turbid mucus. There is no doubt that these liquids are alive and can be seen. There are countless complete pictures. Different faces appeared and disappeared, appearing and disappearing, some were wailing, some were laughing, some were serious, some were sad.
Bang bang! Accompanied by continuous sounds, the nine huge soul light spots that were originally floating beside Joshua, like satellites, fell one by one. They were the nine legendary souls that once glorified the era. After Joshua recovered his human form, these The soul light spots also returned to human form in turn.
It can be seen that these nine legends are two humans, a winged man, two elves, two dwarves, a fishman and an extremely tall centaur. They seem to have Titan blood.
The souls of these legends all have huge and deep-rooted traces of chaos erosion. The moment they turned into human forms, they fell into coma, or in other words, they fell into a long sleep that resisted the erosion of chaos.
A long time ago, in order to resist the all-pervasive erosion of the weakened evil god, they sealed their souls and entrusted themselves to the care of self-operating battleships. These legendary strong men used the power of Chaos to fight against Chaos, so that after thousands of years, even the outside of their own battleships grew countless Chaos-like flesh, flesh and limbs, turning into a huge moon floating above the sealed world.
Joshua gathered the souls of these glorious legends and placed them on top of the soul of the Great Khan who was also unconscious. Because they are powerful themselves, the Chaos erosion is not incurable. They only need to put them into an area filled with a large amount of Holy Light, the power of order, or the power of steel to quickly alleviate the situation.
After doing this, he continued to lower his head and look at the sea.
The sea of souls.
Joshua narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the seemingly vast sea. In it, there were the souls of humans, elves, dwarves and winged men - but the most numerous ones were a kind of creature with wings and a bird's head. The soul of some strange creature. These souls are mixed together and lose their own existence. Only endless information and energy are transmitted and stored in the depths of the sea.
"It seems that for thousands of years, all the souls of life in this sealed world have been integrated into the essence of the evil god... Is this how the evil god becomes stronger and recovers? Devouring the soul and all the information in it, and then using it as a The source, the world of corrosive matter—it is a completely different form of existence.”
Joshua murmured to himself in a complicated tone: "It seems that if it were a little later, the souls of the nine legends would probably be corroded and submerged into this sea... At that time, the weak evil god would have completely recovered. It can't be Now he looks half disabled."
All lives and souls eroded by Chaos were devoured by the evil god located at the seal in the center of the earth. In this world without the reincarnation of souls and the python of steel, this is the only ending for all living beings.
But Joshua noticed that in this sea, there were surprisingly few faces of elven souls, even if their long lifespans were taken into account. This shows that the elves may rely on some means to avoid the erosion of chaos. To preserve the existence of the soul. But others, such as dwarves, humans, winged men, and probably elven souls who have not successfully evaded it, are all here.
They have all been eroded by Chaos and died completely, and the remains are regarded as the source of the evil god's power and used by Chaos - although some souls still have bright brilliance, and they should be the existences that have just died and been swallowed recently. , but their souls are being eroded rapidly, and their own strength is not enough to reach the ultimate purpose of the soul, so they are basically hopeless. Joshua may be able to save one or two, but it is impossible to save them all. rise.
You can hear endless whispers of souls coming from this vast sea of spiritual matter.
-Wailing, pain, despair.
—Curse, boring, decadent.
—Anger, confusion, resentment.
Everything, everything evil, is gathered in this turbid and churning sea of souls, and the decaying atmosphere of despair spreads from it, as if it can corrode everything and destroy everything - just like an evil god.
But that's all.
The warrior clenched his fists - even though he only had his soul now, he was still full of power.
He knew that as long as this sea of souls was completely destroyed and purified, the 'Debilitating Evil God' would be completely destroyed without leaving a trace like the several evil gods killed by the glorious civilization. Of course, in contrast, all the souls in the sea that have been corroded and assimilated by the evil god will also be completely destroyed and purified.
However, at the moment when Joshua gathered his strength and was about to take action.
As two huge light spots and five tiny light spots descended and transformed into human form, the natural teacher, her legendary Warcraft partners, and the five-member elite team all appeared in the 'soul space'.
"...Why are you here?"
Joshua frowned and looked to the side where everyone was, and couldn't help but stop what he was doing: "And you, this is not a place where you gold-level people can enter at will. If it had been earlier, your souls would have suffered the same fate." In the second half of the words, Joshua spoke to the five members of the elite team. His tone was stern, but his concern could be clearly heard.
"The material form of the weak evil god has just collapsed, and now the entire sealed world is filled with an indescribable strange existence... It is very similar to chaos, but it is unexpectedly gentle. As long as you come into contact with it, you will be entered into this space. "
Naturally, the natural teacher's perspective moved downwards, looking at the turbid sea of souls. She suddenly frowned like Joshua: "Although I want to say congratulations on your victory over an evil god... but it seems that it's not over yet?"
"of course not."
Joshua lowered his eyes, staring at the waves rolling in front of him, as if they were planning to reunite: "But there is only the last step left."
Even though it has been completely dispersed and its essence has turned into a sea of souls, a powerful chaotic existence like the evil god is essentially immortal. It can be seen that because it has not been harmed for a long time, the originally collapsed sea actually begins to squirm. , seems to want to reunite as a whole, and once again condense into the core of the weakened evil god.
Naturally, the warrior would not allow this to happen, so he raised his right fist again and began to gather strength.
"Old, teacher!"
A weak, but very determined voice that seemed to use all his courage sounded.
Joshua turned his head and looked at the person who made the sound, who was the captain of the elite team and his own student, Priest.
Joshua has many students and disciples, some are named, some are anonymous, some have officially confirmed their relationship, and some are still under investigation... Except for the four members of the first team who are about to graduate from Wintercastle Academy, there are only dragon people. The girl Lisa and Priest from the southern province successfully became his official disciples.
Compared with those disciples who were accepted because of the guilt of the dragon disaster or because of the care of the dragon race in the world of Kronos, as an ordinary person with only a slight talent, Priest became his student. , many people expressed great surprise, because no matter in terms of talent or life experience, there are many people who are stronger and more competitive than Priest. Why would Joshua choose this mediocre guy as his disciple? This is indeed confusing.
But actually, the answer is quite simple.
Because Priest was the only one who dared to tell him his true thoughts during the assessment.
It sounds like it's just a clever thing to do, but in fact, facing a legendary strongman who releases his pressure, what is needed to do this is true courage and determination.
Just like now, Joshua stared at Priest silently, waiting for his student to give a reason to interrupt his action.
"Underneath... there are still many souls that have not been corrupted by Chaos!"
Facing the direct gaze of his teacher, as well as the onlookers of the natural mentor and the legendary monster, Priest, this tall young man felt that his legs and his soul were betraying him, and he began to tremble and tremble crazily. He knew , now is not the time to teach skills and knowledge, now is the battlefield facing chaos, the place for the decisive battle against the evil god. I am just a gold-level warrior, and I have no right to speak.
But even so, you must say what you want to say, even if you will be punished, reprimanded, or even die. Priest knew that he could never do it because he was 'afraid' and 'cowardly' and gave up on his ideas, making no effort and allowing the future he didn't want to come.
The chaotic ocean of souls is surging. Countless turbid souls, mixed with dots of colorful light, emitted shrill wails of despair.
When Joshua heard what his disciple said, a subtle expression appeared on his face.
"I probably know what you mean... You want to save these souls that have not been eroded—or rather, save a certain one, right?"
The subtle expression on Joshua's face gradually turned cold, and he said calmly: "Do you know what the occasion is now, and what are you talking about? Priest."
"Know."
At this time, Priest's words became smoother. He seemed to understand that he could no longer turn back, so he replied simply: "Teacher, you are right, it is true. I want to save them, but I can't. It’s okay to save one.”
—It doesn’t have to be Sur.
—Not necessarily an elf.
—Anyone can.
-But, we just can’t sit idly by.
Priest knew that his initial impulse might just be out of fear and fear, fearing that Sur's disappearing soul might be in this turbid sea of souls.
But soon, he understood that in this vast sea of souls, let alone his own, even the teacher would not be able to accurately find someone's soul.
So just give up? I don't even know if Sur's soul is inside... So you can give up with luck and face so many souls in need of help
of course not.
Priest may not have practiced Professor Joshua's method of gravity to the extreme, and he may not have truly become the teacher's successor, but he has learned Joshua's bad temper - that is, never give up, never look back.
He wanted to save people and help, so he saved people and helped. Whoever he is, it's that simple.
"Can."
But Priest, who originally expected to be reprimanded or even punished, heard Joshua's calm answer, and just when he suspected that he heard wrong, Priest heard the next sentence.
"I'll give you ten minutes, go in and find it yourself."
There was no emotion in the soldier's voice. He said calmly: "Don't rely on the mercy of others... Since it's what you want and you want to save, then go in by yourself."
If you can do it.
With that said, Joshua kicked towards the turbulent sea of souls. In an instant, as the silver ripples spread, the squirming and condensed waves immediately calmed down completely, and there was no longer any sign of turbulence.
"Yes, teacher!"
Sure enough, it's the teacher's style. Make your own choices and bear the consequences.
But that's how it should be.
After calming down, Priest breathed a sigh of relief. After gratefully answering, he, who was originally protected from contact with the sea of souls by his natural mentor, immediately jumped into the now slightly calmer place. In the sea of souls.
There is no doubt that the gold-level soul has transcended the ordinary world. Even if it is chaos, it is difficult to be eroded immediately. But that kind of chaos is just the chaos leaked from the evil god's family. Facing the evil god's essential first-level power, even if it is destroyed by Qiao Xiu Yahong's fragments were not easily accessible. It can be seen that after Priest's soul penetrated deep into the Sea of Souls, it immediately began to emit corrosive green smoke, and countless tiny soul fragments peeled off from the surface of his body.
"Team, captain... Captain, is this crazy?"
Seeing this scene, the alchemist was stunned and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice. Although they had known that Priest would probably do this, they did not expect that the other party would be so decisive and not talk nonsense at all.
"It's over... It seems we have to change the captain." The caster said pessimistically: "Love is indeed blinding.
-love
Hearing the low-pitched discussion among the elite team, Joshua couldn't help but shake his head. Although he didn't know why Priest did this and why he felt so determined, he was certain that what was burning deep in the other person's heart was not love.
If I have to say it, it's just arrogant, but admirable 'sympathy' and 'compassion'.
At this time, Puri Industrial, who was swimming towards the scattered soul spots one after another in the depths of the turbid ocean and gathering them in his arms, had a very simple thought in his heart.
"You, you, should see the outside world."
Sur. you're right. People are not fish and should not live in a tank... The world is so big, we should go and take a look.
At the same time, above the sea.
"He didn't hesitate ... he was really decisive."
Watching Priest's back as he continued to penetrate deeper, the natural teacher whispered to himself: "There is no thought at all."
"Of course."
Joshua looked matter-of-fact and replied without any hesitation: "He is my student."
Then, he made a gesture to shut up the natural teacher who was about to speak: "Okay, my stupid apprentice thinks that I want to destroy this sea of souls - don't you think so too?"
if not
Hearing this, Galan Nord immediately opened her eyes wide and looked at Joshua. Although she had to admit that the human man in front of her was indeed stronger than she expected. He could actually defeat the evil god - even if he just came from The evil god who awakened from the seal is also an evil god - but even so, Teacher Nature doesn't feel at all that he has other ways to deal with this sea of chaos.
Also, you have obviously raised your hand before and started to gather strength!
Joshua didn't pay attention to the doubtful eyes of the natural teacher. He just turned his head and looked at the end of the endless ocean of chaos.
Evil gods, in essence, are countless souls full of resentment, mixed with chaos, and paired with weapons formed by some extraordinary power that cannot be analyzed yet
A tool of destruction made from the remains of the world, race, and civilization
Maybe that's the case, it can be inferred for the time being... But no matter what, in Joshua's heart, the unknown, confusion and worry about the evil gods have all dissipated, because the facts have proved that they are not invincible or indestructible existences.
At the end of the day...that's all.
The warrior raised his right hand.
He clenched his right fist, and infinite power condensed in it. Misty silver mist and thousands of translucent light spots emerged out of thin air, and then merged into his palm as if being pulled by a black hole.
"Perhaps my application of the power of steel has caused you to misunderstand, but in fact, the 'steel of origin' is the source of everything in the world and the origin of all matter."
He said softly, as if explaining to the astonished nature instructors and elite team, and also seemed to be talking to himself: "But in essence, it is the power of creation, the power to create all things."
The next moment, he lowered his right hand and unclenched his fist.
It could be seen that a magnificent azure gem appeared in the palm of Joshua's right hand.
"The Azure Orb...the unburned fire."
Joshua stared at the azure gem that appeared in his hand, showing a nostalgic look: "The origin of the Radcliffe family's fight against Chaos."
"Among the four holy relics left by the sages, the double blades of order are weapons to deal with the coming chaos in the future. The pure white scepter is the authority of the holy light and the initial fire, maintaining the weak flames and order of the Mycroft continent. The robe is the core of the world, the key to activating the great magic circle in the world of Grandia, and the Azure Orb is the source of rekindling the fire."
The body of the Azure Orb has dissipated when the great magic circle was activated in the world of Grandia to rekindle the fire of Mycroft's world. Only the crown of authority of the Soul-Burning King remained on Joshua's body.
"You, you can actually create the Azure Orb?!"
It wasn't until this moment that the confused natural teacher standing aside took a breath and understood what Joshua was planning to do - Garan Nord subconsciously clenched his hand, and a faint tree root popped up on the back of his white hand. : "Your creation technology has actually reached this level!"
"Of course I can make it."
Joshua closed his eyes with a smile and began to communicate with the 'Azure Pearl' that he created out of thin air.
I am not an evil god who only knows destruction and destruction.
I am a legendary strongman who can create a repairing beam of light, create a soul abyss ball, and achieve true resurrection with simple tools!
The azure orb created by Joshua did not have the profound power of order left by the sage in the original version. But the sage's power of order is not there, but the warrior's power of steel is abundant.
The endless power of steel is rapidly flowing into this Joshua version of the Azure Orb.
"I once told Lisa that the power of the strong is enough to reverse the future and destiny, to turn tragedy into comedy, and to turn death into rebirth."
Joshua opened his eyes, and the azure orb in his hand was emitting an extremely brilliant silver light like a supernova.
"Priest, this is the power that can change everything."
So, keep that determination - get stronger.
The palms loosened and the light fell.
The silver orb fell into the ocean of chaos.
The light lights up and swallows the chaos.
And all the resentment and hatred will return to rest.
