Soul of Searing Steel

Chapter 849: Great trauma

Views:

Sometimes, words and words are unable to describe some scenery.

With his back to the divine light of the Seven Gods, Joshua, who was alone, raised his head and looked forward. However, even with his eyesight, he could only see an absolute blackness, like the thickest ink, which erased everything. The darkness of light stretches ahead with no end in sight.

Like standing in front of the vast sea, a lone warrior staring into the dead sea,

The rivers of Styx from all directions of the world's galaxies converge here, and the torrents after the destruction of countless worlds roar here, settle, and then become part of this darkness. Thousands of years ago, this place was extremely dangerous, because there were thousands of worlds gestating in this largest star-making cloud in the entire galaxy all the time, flying out, and heading to every corner of time and space. Unbelievable material changes and gravitational distortions would occur. To tear apart all weak existences, even gods need to be alert to every accident.

But now, it is silent, and the whirlpool of creation is no longer turning, but it has become more terrifying - the silent darkness is always more terrifying than the roaring flash, because the latter is a tangible and qualitative danger, while the former represents With the unknown.

But... so what

Facing the unknown and fear head-on, Joshua showed a fearless smile.

Yes, this is under the nine hundred layers of the abyss, at the bottom of the world's galaxy, the cemetery where countless worlds have died.

Yes, this is the origin and end point of the Styx, the place where everything in the world's galaxy circulates.

This is the former maelstrom of creation, now the lowest level of the abyss, the core of the rebirth plan, and the place where the sages and the evil god of fertility fought in the past. The gods are accustomed to calling it the place of nirvana in the abyss, but Joshua believes that it is extremely dark. The name Abyss suits it best.

Here, not only will the light dim, but also other extraordinary powers will be suppressed by the violent steel particles and the power of chaos. In this dark realm, whether it is magic, steel power or divine power, it will be gradually worn away and eroded. , turned into nothingness.

This may be one of the most terrifying and dangerous Jedi places in the entire multiverse.

So it’s a good time for a challenge.

Accompanied by the violent roar in the Styx, the warrior stepped forward without hesitation.

A halo like neon surrounded him, and the blessings of the eight gods shone around him. He could still vaguely hear the last holy words of the God of Power in his ears. Joshua moved forward calmly - in an instant, he went from darkness to depth. In deeper darkness.

—Loss of vision.

—No sound.

—Unable to distinguish up, down, left, and right.

—It’s like walking in reinforced concrete.

—The whole body is suffering from severe erosion.

After taking the first step away from the River Styx and entering the bottom of the abyss, Joshua felt as if he had stepped into the deep sea, surrounded by chaotic water that had condensed into ice. Even with his strength, it was difficult to reach the bottom of the abyss. Move one step forward.

"It's a bit strong."

Joshua whispered to himself, and at the same time, the divine power contained in the warrior began to take effect.

A ball of divine flame was lit in the extreme darkness.

After the Divine Blessing came into contact with the substantial power of chaos, it immediately reacted to it. The eight-color divine power violently clashed with the surrounding darkness, suddenly bursting out with extremely dazzling brilliance, and then, like flames melting ice, And turned it into water vapor, and a large amount of colorless pure energy was released, lingering around Joshua in a mist-like form.

This burning process is like the initial fire burning chaos and turning into original steel.

The dazzling light was constantly swaying in the darkness due to the impact of divine power and chaos, shaking like a flame. You could even see streaks of divine lightning flashing through the mist, containing a terrifying and dangerous aura.

And this is Joshua's opportunity to move forward quickly - with the mutual impact and reaction of divine power and chaos, he can fight against the high concentration of chaos in the abyss and nirvana without consuming his own steel power, and he can even rely on both. The light of fire that broke out in the conflict regained its observation ability and direction and moved deeper.

However, just when Joshua, who thought he should be alone, suddenly didn't know where the core of the rebirth seal was and which direction he should move in, a deep voice came from within him.

"This way—I can feel it, that's the axis of the abyss."

The Lord of the Sixth Abyss, the Gluttonous Demon King Goliath said in a calm voice: "I have no reason to lie to you, it's right here."

With that said, the Demon King's remnant soul inside the warrior once again sent a message to guide Joshua in the direction.

"...Yes, you are still here."

Joshua, who had relied on the other party to point the way several times in the Styx, blinked, but was not too surprised. Although, in the later stages of entering the abyss, because the memories of the seven gods continued to recover, neither the people nor the gods were surprised. Why do we need Goliath, a native of the abyss, to lead the way? But now it seems that the other party's existence is indeed very useful.

Without doubting the other party, Joshua headed directly in the direction pointed by Goliath. His overly decisive and straightforward actions even surprised the Demon King's remnant soul: "You actually believe in me so much?!"

"if not?"

The warrior asked calmly, which left Goliath speechless.

At this time, the world of Mycroft, the Sacrifice of All Realms, suppressed another void civilization. The old Pope Eagle who returned seemed to feel something. With a sad face, he left the demiplane and came to the void, staring in the direction of the abyss. , looking into the infinite distance.

In the eyes of this god walking in the world, the originally chaotic, chaotic, and obscure abyss suddenly became clear. In front of the 666th floor of the abyss, countless small flames were burning in the gray world. , those are the footsteps of countless pioneers, who are cleaning up the chaos, strangling the chaos, and using absolute violence to calm down all the raging demons and monsters and no longer be bloodthirsty and excited.

And after the 666th level of the abyss, rounds of huge halos of divine power, like a huge whirlpool seal, enveloped the abyss deep in the core. You can see the sky-blue Ouroboros, The four holy symbols of the light green bird, the light golden forked eye, and the violet heart rotate steadily in the abyss, dominating countless worlds, as if they can last for countless thousands of years.

Further down, in the lower level of the abyss, the pure white divine light, the iron-gray divine light and the black divine light seemed a bit turbulent and unstable. It could be seen that the too deep darkness was eroding the seals of the inner three layers, making The brilliance is getting dimmer, and no one knows how long the brilliance of divine power can last, whether it is years, months, days, or hours.

Finally, the deepest part of the abyss, pure darkness. Even the radiance of divine power cannot illuminate it. It's like a sea watered by ink. No matter how dazzling the light is, it only penetrates into the outermost layer, while the inside is always cold and solid black.

However, the old pope could see that there was an extremely weak light moving forward.

Although it is slow, sometimes slowing down and sometimes correcting its direction, it is indeed moving forward and will never stop.

But just as the old pope stared at this advancing light spot, he felt relieved and expectant in his heart.

sudden.

It stopped.

In the extremely dark abyss, Joshua had to stop.

Originally, due to the impact of the chaotic material flow brought by the Styx River, the Extreme Dark Abyss should be an extremely turbulent realm. Although it was not as turbulent as the original Creation Maelstrom, at least it would not be as silent as it is now. However, the seals of the Seven Gods and the final action of Xing Zheng cutting off the River of Styx with his sword caused all the things that should have extremely interfered with perception to temporarily disappear, making the bottom of the abyss, which should have been as turbulent as the sea, become calm. A place of death and silence.

It was precisely because of this that all Joshua stopped.

"What's wrong, human?"

Sensing something was wrong, the Demon King's remnant soul held in his palm subconsciously asked, but the warrior did not reply. He just raised the front wall of his right hand high, the power of steel burning, mixed with the light of divine power, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

This action lasted for a long time. After more than half an hour, the puzzled Goliath finally understood why Joshua, who was originally racing against time, suddenly stopped moving forward.

Because what appeared in front of them were a dozen silent dark spheres hanging quietly in the chaotic darkness.

This spherical shape is very familiar. You can see that around these dozens of dark spherical shapes, the space is extremely distorted, sinking like a deep well. Endless chaotic power surges around these deep wells and is then sucked into them.

That is the image of the black hole of the 'Final Star'.

It can be seen that a total of thirteen black holes are crowded in the galaxy space of less than three light hours. Some of them are huge and some are small. The gravity and chaotic force between the black holes form a wonderful balance, making them almost stationary. Hanging in place - naturally, this strange situation is also because these black holes do not seem to be mass black holes in the normal sense.

They are black hole-like entities formed by the accumulation and condensation of a large amount of world debris, steel particles and chaotic power. These final stars float in the depths of the extremely dark abyss, as if they are like a trap, waiting for those who rashly enter to step into it.

"It's very troublesome. It blocks almost all roads and is very hidden. With my previous speed, I would rush into it if I wasn't careful."

After observing carefully for a long time, Joshua couldn't help but exhale. If he hadn't had a deep understanding of gravity, his own body was also a super-high-quality body, and he had divine power to help eliminate the interference of chaotic forces, I'm afraid he would have really fallen into the trap of multiple chaotic black holes this time, and would have sunk forever.

However, this is not the most surprising thing - because Joshua senses that there are a large number of similar weird gravitational wave disturbances around this stable complex black hole star structure, which shows that in addition to this direction, other directions There are also similar high-quality chaotic black hole traps!

The sealed core of the Extremely Dark Abyss seems to be completely surrounded by a circle of black hole traps, tightly wrapped up!

The remnant soul of the Demon King seemed to be shocked and speechless by this incredible scene, but while Joshua was thinking about how to overcome these traps, he began to search for the source of these black hole traps based on the information recorded in the surrounding steel power. source.

"... They are the embers after the world and stars were destroyed... The war between the sages and the evil god of fertility... In the maelstrom of creation, the power used to create new galaxies was used as weapons to attack each other, and the raw materials of countless worlds were condensed into huge and Unstable stars, both sides use bombs that are about to explode into supernovas to throw at the enemy... "

"Great Wound—Great Wound—This is the ultimate battle of super-powerful men, an unhealable wound left on the galaxy of this world!"

Joshua read the memories of the stars. Because the whirlpool of creation had stopped rotating long ago, the power of steel floating in the deepest part of the abyss has not eliminated the information it originally carried. Warriors can easily learn the origin of these black hole traps. .

For those who are so powerful that they can surpass supernova explosions and feel as if they are taking a breath of fresh air even in the face of gamma ray bursts, I am afraid that only the final star, a black hole that even light cannot escape, can pose a mortal danger to them. Sage The war with the Evil God of Fertility in the past catalyzed countless stars. Those stars used as weapons burned to their peak, and then turned into embers, and the condensed remains became the darkness that absorbed all light.

"Using the remains left behind from his original battle, the sage used black holes to suppress the rotation of the whirlpool of creation... He formulated a rebirth plan and used these black holes as anchors to absorb the power of chaos. While avoiding the awakening of the 'unknown evil god', Little by little, the chaos will be eliminated.”

Joshua looked at the dark star in front of him with complex eyes. There is no doubt that this is a very grand plan - if the rebirth plan is really fully formed, then the entire creation maelstrom has been used to create worlds for thousands of years. The power will be forcibly gathered into one, creating a "super giant continent world" similar to the star sea world, with countless galaxies, extremely huge, but a whole!

In that world, a black hole with a mass tens of billions of times that of an ordinary star system will rotate the entire world, and its extremely huge accretion disk will release eternal infinite light, illuminating the entire world.

There will be no night in that world, because of its excessive mass. Even on the 'continent', there will be stars spontaneously formed due to the condensation of nebula material, hanging in the sky, or even directly embedded in the 'continent' or on the 'mountains'. 'The top is like the sacred fire on the top of Mount Olympus in myths and legends, shining on the intelligent races living around it.

Perhaps in the corners of the edge of this world, there will be areas with thin matter. Neither the light released by the core black hole's accretion disk nor the spontaneous condensation of stars can be seen, so it may be a little dim, but that is as novel as the polar regions. It's just a different scenery, it doesn't matter.

In fact, the huge continent will be divided into more than a dozen levels because it is too large. Each level is like a galaxy ring, with an independent structure, environment, and a large number of stars. Any race and any life can find its place in this incredible paradise world. No matter how harsh the conditions are, it can definitely be found on this 'continent' that is probably larger than dozens of galaxies combined. A suitable place to live.

Moreover, the extremely high concentration of extraordinary power can provide nearly unlimited amounts of extraordinary people to practice, because behind it is the whirlpool of creation, and the energy quality of the entire world's galactic circulation serves as its backing. It is completely impossible for this super giant prehistoric world to fall into a lack of resources. A situation that requires war to plunder.

-Even, one day, the endless worlds in the entire world galaxy will gradually be merged, unified, and 'reborn' into an incredible 'single world' in the flow of time.

This is no longer a plan that can be described as crazy.

If someone who is half a step ahead of the times is a great man, and two steps ahead of the times is a madman, then what is someone who is ten steps or a hundred steps ahead

Even God can only reluctantly understand it as the 'rebirth of the glorious era', and worship this illusion that cannot compare to its true purpose.

Peering into the secrets behind these clusters of black holes that seemed to be traps, Joshua could only exhale slightly, not even sighing.

Until now, he finally understood what the biggest mystery left behind by the 'ancestral civilization' according to the Shepherd.

If it is said that the person who left this message is the sage, the sage who believes that his plan will definitely succeed, then his purpose is very clear - he wants to let the races in other worlds and galaxies leave those dangerous worlds and enter this absolutely safe one. In the world, stay away from the intrusion of chaos and evil gods.

If the rebirth plan succeeds as planned, then when the Great Khan and the Shepherds come to the Extreme Dark Abyss, what greets them may not be the black hole trap that Joshua saw now, but a gentle, huge, accepting everything The magnificent world of ordered life.

The world barrier of this single world is so strong that no 'evil god' can shake it. Joshua even wondered, what is the difference between this level of world barrier and the event horizon of a black hole? As long as you enter, it is almost impossible to get out. Just like in novels and stories, those gods and immortals who have become gods and immortals almost never return to their hometowns. As long as you enter this world, it is almost impossible to get out again.

However, the rebirth plan failed.

Those exciting and passionate pictures of the future are now just ideas in the design drawings.

What stood in front of Joshua was still pitch black, cold, chaotic darkness that was constantly eroding all things like strong acid, and the final star that was deeper than the darkness.

The Demon King's remnant soul didn't know Joshua's thoughts and speculations. It just kept staring at the deepest shadow in front of it - the darkness cast by the black hole in space and time. It is the deepest shadow in this multiverse. This is for the people who are summarizing the shadows. It is of indescribable value to the Goliath of the Tao. From it, it can even find gravitational techniques that belong to the Tao of Shadows, as well as energy-absorbing barriers similar to black body defense.

However, just when it wanted to go further to observe those black holes, suddenly, the devil heard the sound of crying.

This voice is sad and desperate. It is not malicious or heartbreaking, but it goes straight into the deepest part of the soul, infecting everything with a pessimistic and meaningless color.

The sound of crying echoed in Goliath's ears. It vaguely heard the sorrow of the baby who died immediately after birth and was unable to watch the world.

It vaguely heard the cry of the underage boy who died due to the destruction of the world just after he had a dream.

It heard the sound of tired adult individuals working hard to support their families, raise their children, and strive to operate in the big machine of civilized society. It heard that all efforts were in vain, and decades of hardship ushered in tragedy, until in the end, only The sigh of being able to hold your partner and children, watch the stars falling from the sky, and destroy all things.

It heard a lot, a lot - the devil even heard the voice of the devil. It was painful to grow in the abyss, painful to survive in the abyss, painful to live on, but it had no purpose and could only vent its confusion by fighting. , a blank roar that proves its existence with destruction.

"They are crying..."

In the warrior's palm, the remnant soul of the Demon King said in confusion. Goliath looked around, but could not find any shadow of the sound: "Who is it? Why can I see those illusions and hear those voices?!"

"That's the memory hidden in the chaos."

Joshua lowered his head, looked at the remnant soul of the Demon King in his hand, and said calmly: "The evil god is a destructive entity condensed by infinite souls, infinite resentment, mixed with the residual information of infinite civilizations, and the power of chaos. Every part of it condenses the memory of the destruction of the mother civilization and the mother world."

"The Great Maelstrom of Creation was infected by Chaos, and the resentment after the destruction of countless worlds gathered, making the 'Unknown Evil God' take shape. The Styx is its tentacles, the abyss is its body, and the chaos around you and me is what it still is. The unawakened body. The voices you hear and the resentment you feel are all the future power of this evil god—because we are in its body."

"They were destroyed..."

The Demon King, who had destroyed several worlds and plundered souls and materials, muttered to himself, and then quickly fell into silence. Perhaps the Demon King's body can resist this voice that reaches deep into the soul, and can isolate these sounds that come from steel. The power and chaotic memory, but the devil's remnant soul couldn't do it. It was deeply affected and even fell into a daze.

And Joshua shook his arm to make the other person wake up.

"The tears of the destroyed have always been so sad. It has always been like this, for thousands of years, without exception."

Instead of staring at the Demon King's remnant soul, Joshua raised his head and looked at the darkness in front of him. His contemplation just now allowed him to find a way through the gap in gravity. He began to take steps towards the ever-changing gravity. Walking down the corridor, he whispered softly as he walked: "The wars of super civilizations and the battles of extraordinary strong men can instantly destroy countless ordinary worlds and civilizations at any time, and among these civilizations and worlds, there are tens of millions, Even intelligent life with billions and billions of calculations.”

"Among them are embryos, larvae, men, women, old and young, with joys and sorrows. They have their own joys and sorrows, their own destiny and stories - but in the context of the too huge multiverse, in the war between the strong and the super civilization, everything They are just tears in the rain.”

Is their fate destined to end, or is it bad luck? Who can say this clearly

So this is sad.

"Are you starting to feel sad for these civilizations, are you moved? Goliath?"

Without waiting for the Demon King's remnant soul to reply, Joshua, who was passing through the gravitational balance points formed by multiple black holes, smiled and shook his head: "Don't be sad, I'm touched."

"The echoes of destruction and memories of civilization that remain here exceed one hundred million, possibly tens of millions, maybe over 100 million, or even more. Anyway, I can't count them."

"Don't forget that the abyss you are in is the cemetery of countless destroyed worlds in the entire galaxy."

"Wait a minute!" Watching Joshua dangerously pass through one gravitational trap after another, passing through the high-concentration chaotic space with a thickness of about two light hours at extremely high speed, Goliath couldn't help but ask: "You Why is it so clear?! Were you listening to these sounds just now?"

Just a few seconds of reverberation made the Demon King's remnant soul feel helpless, as if it wanted to blend into the chaos and be assimilated by it. However, Joshua could clearly tell the origin of these sounds and tell it. The nature of these sounds... How clearly and clearly do you have to hear it to understand from those fragmented murmurs? And how strong willpower does he need to avoid being assimilated by these voices

Goliath originally wanted to express a few words of emotion, but then, Joshua's words made it completely silent.

"I hear it all the time."

With a thrilling psychic leap, he avoided the impact of the debris of a world rotating around a black hole. Joshua adjusted his next direction and said lightly: "Actually, from the moment I entered the abyss, I I can hear countless worlds crying and wailing to me, asking me for help, hoping that I can save them or destroy them."

Wouldn't you isolate them? !

Noticing the horrified look in the demon king's remnant soul, the warrior smiled: "I'm not crazy."

"And I won't isolate them."

Can you see that the eight layers of divine power surrounding the outermost layer of Joshua's body, and the light blue divine power of order and destruction in the outermost layer, have begun to falter. This proves that the warrior has penetrated deep into the core of the extremely dark abyss. So much so that his divine power began to run out, and he was even swallowed by chaos.

Joshua took out the light blue hourglass given by the God of Order and Destruction, Mielu, from his arms. He whispered: "You don't understand. I am the King of Burning Souls."

“Listen to the sound of the end of the world, burn the chaos with fire—reshape the world and maintain order.”

With that said, he crushed the hourglass in his hand, causing the light blue divine gravel to splash out and burn fiercely on the surface of his body. It could be vaguely seen that the surface of the armor condensed with neutron degenerate matter appeared like a snake. The pattern of divine power is like a pattern, which overlaps with the dragon scale pattern of the Dragon God, forming a dense and more solid microscopic divine power structure.

At this point, the warrior's voice sounded again.

“Hearing the cries of the sorrowful and calming their sorrow—that is my duty.”
