Imagine that you are alone in a dark sea. There are turbulent undercurrents and man-eating beasts in the sea. As long as you stay where you are, you will be attacked, but if you continue to move forward, the poisonous sea water and water pressure will continue. Oppressive to body and mind.
I don't know the direction or the goal. Whether I am stopping or moving forward, I am so confused. I don't know whether to muster up the courage to continue exploring this boundless black sea or to stop and hesitate in fear.
That's what Joshua and Goliath were feeling at this point.
As a native of the Abyss and the King of Demons, Goliath can vaguely sense the axis of the Abyss, which is the core of the Nirvana of the Abyss - in other words, any powerful 'demon' can sense that place.
Because that is their destination. The world is dead and civilization no longer exists. Demons are such a race that has lost everything. Their birth is not blessed, but will be cursed. The will of all demons is composed of countless Condensed from broken souls, they are born with a spirit, which brings them powerful talents and power, but that spirit comes from countless dead people who died in the abyss.
Countless souls of the dead who should have returned to the maelstrom of creation.
All demons have more or less instinctive impulses. They want to go down the River Styx and explore towards the end of the River Styx - Goliath is no exception. It originally thought this was due to its curiosity. , but now it seems that it is just because its soul instinctively wants to return to the cycle of all things and wants to truly 'die'.
What's more, it is the Lord of the Abyss, and the existence of the Will of the Abyss amplifies this desire. It is precisely because of this that almost all the powerful demons and abyss lords in the past have wanted to explore the deepest part of the abyss.
However, after guessing this, the Demon King's remnant soul was not discouraged. It relied on its induction of the axis of the abyss to guide Joshua's direction and path. Since it can help the other party, then this instinct has significance.
However, this guidance disappeared after Joshua and Goliath passed through numerous final star traps.
Behind the black hole trap, space seems to have lost its meaning. Behind it is obviously the twisted gravitational space that we just passed through, but as soon as we took a step forward, the trap disappeared. Even if we moved in the direction of retracing our original path, we did not feel it. The existence of any black hole.
A man and a demon are wandering in the endless darkness, not knowing where to go.
"Perhaps, where we are now is already within the scope of the great whirlpool of creation in the past."
Even though the divine blessings around him had begun to shatter layer by layer, and the outermost divine power of the God of Order and Destruction had completely dissipated, Joshua could still think calmly at this critical moment. He protected the Demon King's remnant soul in his left hand. The palm of his forearm shielded him from the whispers of countless dead worlds in the chaos: "If the whirlpool of creation was still there, you would probably be wiped out in this position - dead demons naturally don't need any instinctive guidance."
He rarely told a cold joke, but unfortunately, the Demon King was not a guy with a sense of humor.
"No, I really can't sense anything!"
Not as calm as Joshua, the Demon King's remnant soul turned a little impatiently. Its shadowy body sometimes expanded into a mass of spikes, and sometimes shrank into a small dot, but no matter how hard Goliath tried, it could not sense its own soul. 'Longing' for the axis of the abyss.
The warrior is right. They are indeed at the core of the abyss now - it can be seen from the darkness around them that even the divine power is being rapidly eroded and no light can be seen. The density of negative energy and chaos here has reached It's so unbelievable that more than a dozen stars would have exploded here, and the light released by the supernova wouldn't have been able to illuminate a distance of even one light second.
Snap! !
A sound more harsh than the breaking of glass came, and the light green energy fragments were swallowed up by the darkness. It was the sound of the divine blessing belonging to the God of Law and Freedom breaking, even when Joshua took out the sacred object "Freedom" given by the other party. Even with Yu's blessing, there is no way to make the divine power barrier support for a few more seconds.
It can be seen that the light green divine power is imprinted on the armor, and the wing runes emerge, making Joshua's speed become a little faster.
But now, what the warrior needs is not speed, but the direction that can point directly to the core of the seal of the rebirth plan.
"There are still six layers of divine power barrier left... which can probably last for ten minutes."
After estimating the speed at which the barrier was eroded by the power of chaos, Joshua frowned and watched as dense cracks began to appear on the light golden barrier of the God of Wisdom and Choice. He knew that there was no point in staying any longer: "Just In this way, if you choose any direction to go, if the chaotic erosion becomes faster, then it is the correct direction, and if it becomes slower, it is the opposite."
Just do what he said, and Joshua immediately began to move with all his strength - although the warrior was huge and heavy, his speed was definitely not slow. By manipulating gravity, warping space, and initiating psychic leaps from time to time, he was moving Moving forward at a galactic speed.
Soon, the light golden divine power barrier shattered, and the light spot was swallowed up by the surrounding darkness.
But Joshua, who was frowning, slowly stopped. The giant looked around, but did not sense any change in the concentration of chaos around him.
"No way... It seems that this place is similar to the void. The speed of matter is meaningless. What determines the coordinate changes is similar to the energy level, or something else... "
Since the first plan failed, we need to think of the next one. Joshua is not discouraged. He has long known that the most difficult part of this trip is probably not 'breaking the core seal' and 'purifying the chaos'. Things that only need to be destroyed—he is so good at this stuff that he even has seven or eight plans in mind.
What is really difficult is finding the goal. Thinking of this, the warrior couldn't help but clench his right fist.
There is not much time left, and the divine power barrier given by the Seven Gods and the Dragon God cannot last long. It can be seen that the blessings of the five-color Dragon God are constantly twisting and swaying under the erosion of darkness, just like the surface of a lake clear by heavy rain. , countless ripples spread. Originally, the divine power of the True God can be regarded as indestructible and indestructible in both the material world and the spiritual world. They belong to the highest category in terms of energy properties, complexity and personality. If ordinary magic wants to offset the divine power, at least it can It requires a thousand times the reserves of the other party.
But now, what surrounds Joshua is more than just chaos a thousand times more powerful than divine power
Tens of millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions are more than that.
If the energy level gap is too outrageous, even the divine power will be swallowed up by chaos.
"Is this the world's galaxy-level evil god? Just the murmur before birth, the chaotic disturbance of instinct before awakening, can interfere with the existence of a galaxy..."
It is precisely because he knows that he is actually in the body of the evil god that Joshua can't help but sigh at the power of the unknown evil god - if the other party really awakens, then I am afraid that the entire galaxy will be swallowed up by it, even in the past The Evil God of Abundance, who can create a rift in the galaxy and create a maelstrom in the void just by passing by, may not be stronger than it.
—It must be destroyed before it awakens!
Joshua suddenly became alert. He suddenly began to lament the power of the enemy, and he even felt decadent in his heart... There is no doubt that this is a reaction to the erosion of chaos! As he gets closer, the chaotic disturbance of the unknown evil god becomes more and more powerful. Although he does not have a soul that can be disturbed, chaos can also corrode matter, causing his thinking organs to operate unharmoniously, making him make wrong choices and judge!
Thinking of this, the warrior immediately took out the holy object given by the God of Wisdom and Choice, the 'Future Pointer'.
The sacred object 'Cycling Hourglass', the god of order and destruction, the 'Feather of Freedom', the sacred object of the god of law and freedom, the 'Future Pointer', the sacred object of the god of wisdom and choice, 'Beloved', the sacred object of the god of love and decay Photo Frame', the sacred object of the God of Life 'Cocoon of Life' and the sacred object of the God of Protection and Progress 'Guardian Code', these six sacred objects each have extraordinary power, in addition to the divine power that can slightly fill the divine barrier. , and it can also strengthen Joshua's abilities in certain aspects.
The cyclic hourglass can give Joshua's armor a cyclic repair ability that is similar to turning back time. The feather of freedom can allow the user to break free from the shackles of almost all sealing formations, and can also speed up.
The effect of the 'future pointer' is very subtle - it can perform a super calculation with divine power and give the holder a 'prophecy' of the future. As for the result of the prophecy... it will be the same as the future, who knows.
"I don't know if the power of 'Zi Ming' can directly 'tell' me the location of the core of the seal... This kind of completely unknown thing depends on luck, which is really not reassuring."
Joshua doesn't like to leave the future to the so-called 'luck'. He has always been a man who holds his destiny in his own hands. But now, since there is no other choice, the warrior will not be pedantic on this point.
Thinking like this, he wanted to smash the future pointer in his hand.
"etc."
But at the same time, the remnant soul of Demon King Goliath, who had been keeping quiet since just now, suddenly said: "I probably thought of a way to find the axis of the abyss."
"Say it."
Joshua didn't say 'really? ''I do not believe. "This kind of nonsense, he asked directly: "What can I do?"
"It's simple. Give me the future pointer."
The remnant soul of the Demon King was calmly held in the palm of the warrior's hand. For some reason, Goliath, who had no longer been anxious and fearful from just now, actually seemed very confident at this time. He said in a deep voice: "I need it to strengthen... a premonition. .”
The effects of the six sacred objects were known when Goliath was held in Joshua's palm, as the information flow of the other party receiving the sacred objects was revealed. The Seven Gods did not conceal the effects of these sacred objects. Although it sounds precious, it is just a consumable item that requires a lot of effort to prepare.
Joshua did hesitate about the Demon King's request for the remnant soul. He did not believe in 'luck', and the future pointer seemed to be the product of luck, but even so, handing over a god's sacred object to the devil... Although the other party had no reason to deceive and seemed very confident, it was really unjustifiable to do so.
However, Joshua is not someone who refuses to do certain things because of boring reasons like 'it just doesn't make sense'. Now that one person and one demon are located in the deepest part of the abyss, he chooses to believe in the other party.
Joshua handed the future pointer to Goliath in the palm of his left hand, and the other person jumped on him without hesitation - he could see that the shadow spread, and the divine pointer was destroyed by Goliath with the acquiescence of the original holder. Ya occupied.
"...You actually believe me so much."
After doing all this, the Demon King's remnant soul turned into a shadow and whispered in disbelief: "Not just once."
"You never lied, why don't I believe you."
Joshua said calmly, looking at his palm: "Tell me, what is the method? You also said before that you can no longer feel the axis of the abyss."
"...Yes, I really can't feel it anymore, but I found the reason why I can't feel it."
After a few seconds of silence, a devil's eye appeared in the shadow of Goliath's incarnation. It looked into the eyes of the giant god: "As a living being, my thinking itself will be obsessed with some things that are too small. Causes disturbance, just like the gaze of a god is enough to affect a person's destiny, just by living, as a devil's life, I will affect many things."
"...You mean." Joshua paused and whispered.
"Yes, as long as I die and this residual soul annihilates itself, then the soul fragments that make up my soul and belong to the abyss will naturally fly towards the 'real' axis of the abyss."
As he said this, the shadows that made up the Demon King's remnant soul actually began to burn slowly. In the crimson hellfire, Goliath's rather happy laughter could be heard: "I am nothing more than the soul fragments of my original body." That's all, it doesn't matter if you die - I should also thank Chaos Erosion. It made me understand that I, who can't guide the direction at this time, am just a drag on you. It made me think about death and also made me understand the reason."
-Death is not terrible. The terrible thing is that death is worthless.
Self-burning, maximizing the power of the Demon King's remnant soul, at the same time, Goliath thought so in his heart.
Many times, the eyes of creatures can only stay in front of their eyes, just like beasts only care about hunger and the desire to reproduce. The same is true for demons, but demons are more powerful than beasts. But in the final analysis, it is just a short-sighted beast, and life and death are meaningless.
But are humans, elves, dwarves, various intelligent beings from other worlds, and even gods, any better than demons? Is their life and death more important than the devil's
of course not.
Demon King Goliath has seen too many little gods in the wild world. They claim to be supreme, but they can only see one world. They suppress civilization and inhibit the development of technology, so that civilization cannot grow and can only be controlled by them - Their life and death are meaningless, they exist just for the sake of existing.
The Demon King Goliath has killed several gods like this. They are too weak, both in terms of vision and strength, they are so weak and boring.
but.
Mycroft's world is different.
At least the gods of Mycroft's world, and the man in front of him, are different from those boring little gods.
Their eyes can see the entire world of galaxies, and even the multiverse. When they look up at the stars, what they think in their hearts is not 'sentiment', but 'desire'.
Among them, there is even a god who is willing to dedicate his infinite and immortal life to countless worlds and civilizations that do not even know his name.
Perhaps only such a death can be considered valuable.
"Many demons have said it, including Helm and Saluka. They said that I am greedy and selfish. For the sake of the Sixth Abyss, I will destroy other worlds without hesitation."
The Demon King's remnant soul stared at the expressionless giant in front of it, and laughed softly: "They are right, I am a greedy and selfish demon. But if there is no world galaxy, where should my sixth abyss be placed? Woolen cloth?"
—The holy object of the God of Wisdom and Choice, the 'Future Pointer'.
—If you could predict the future.
- Let the fragments of me after my death drift towards the place where the person in front of me wants to go, and towards the destination where my soul should belong!
As the devil laughed, his soul ignited, and the powerful shadow power activated the future pointer.
The light golden divine power pointer began to rotate violently.
Future possibilities, the user's wishes... Originally it was necessary to calculate countless complex information and draw countless pointers to the possibilities of other people and other things around the holder, but now it only needs to calculate one possibility, one future.
The emptiness and chaos without anything, and the future called 'death', are so clear and simple that it doesn't take long to get the answer.
It can be seen that the golden pointer wrapped in shadow began to gradually stop rotating after violent rotation. It originally rotated randomly in forward and reverse directions, and stopped in the direction of twelve o'clock.
Snap.
At this moment, the future pointer shattered.
The message comes.
The remaining soul of Goliath was also shattered.
The light golden light spots, mixed with the black and red soul fragments of the Demon King's remnant soul, passed through the chaos lightly. They burned blazingly and turned into a huge arrow pointer in the dark chaos. It broke through the weird abyss of darkness. The spatial structure 'indicates' the path to the future to the warriors.
Goliath, gone.
The path leading to the core seal of the Rebirth Plan was also clearly pointed out.
There was no emotion, no sigh, no pause, no other action. Joshua, who had been prepared for a long time, directly followed the path of the soul that was constantly breaking and dissolving, and flew towards his goal at the fastest speed. go.
As the Titan charged in at full speed, thunder exploded in the chaotic sea of darkness, and whirlpools raged. The sea of chaos, which was originally as silent as death, suddenly turned into a raging tide, and the warriors embraced the frontal attack without fear. The deep chaos and endless high pressure that came from it exploded with all their strength to defeat all the resistance in front of them.
Yes, the Seven Gods left, and the remnant soul of the Demon King dissipated.
He has no resistance, no drag.
Destroy the seal and take back the future.
It's this moment.
