Soul of Searing Steel

Chapter 880: The Age of Void and the End of Childhood

Views:

Starfall 841, April 15, in the afternoon, over the plateau of Xibanerte, as a gap was opened in the world barrier, a huge energy flow from the void poured into the interior of the world.

In just a blink of an eye, the thousands of miles of clouds dispersed, the sunlight dimmed during the day, and the originally bright sky and sun instantly turned into a sky full of stars in the middle of the night.

And in the midst of this rotating galaxy of stars, a long river of silver metal dropped from the end of the sky. With roaring thunder, it continued to amplify, and finally turned into a giant hand of steel pillars that penetrated the world, pressing down rapidly like this. On the West Benert Plateau!

Whoops—!

A strong wind blew across the entire northeastern side of Xishan Mountain and the entire Bander Plateau. At the moment when the giant metal hand fell from the sky, a land super hurricane exceeding Category 17 rose from the ground, a storm that was enough to distort steel and steel. The shock wave surged out like this, and with its momentum, it was able to sweep across the entire Western Mountains and the Northern Empire, destroying 90% of the surface buildings in the area near the border.

However, the magic circle that Barnier had engraved on the flat plateau suddenly lit up at this moment. Round after round, like gears, the layers fit together, and the constantly rotating rune structures rose rapidly. They formed a circle-like structure. The structure of the cylindrical honeycomb forcibly suppresses all shock waves in an area with a radius of fifteen kilometers with the magic circle as the center - within the area, everything is turned upside down, but outside the area, everything is calm.

"The magic circle is overloaded by 116%, Nostradamus, please let Joshua lighten up!"

At this moment, Barnier, who was standing next to the magic circle, was staring at the data in the light screen in front of him. He roared, then raised his hand and quickly started the next step of the magic circle: "Start to guide the power and enter the first step. Phase Two ‘Foundation’!”

Following Chief Engineer Barnier's order, the violent force bound within the rune array directly hit the main body of the array with the falling silver palm - but what is surprising is that, The steel hand that descended from the void did not destroy Barnier's magic circle. Following the guiding light beam, he pressed it extremely flatly on the magic circle without any deviation or tilt.

Then, this giant metal hand, carrying a giant magic circle with a radius of kilometers, crushed the crust of the Bander Plateau, just like a human reaching out and pressing his palm into a snowdrift, directly in Mycroft's world. An extremely huge depression was pressed into the continent!

Boom - In an instant, the ground shook. The rocks, rocks and soil were heated into surging golden magma under the violent friction and shock waves. Logically speaking, the entire Benert Plateau should be at level ten at this time. The above major earthquake completely shattered and collapsed, but the rune circle designed by Barnier was still functioning.

It can be seen that the colorful runes are shining brightly, and the gear-like rune structure firmly blocks the endless impact. It is still restraining the destructive power of the giant metal hand to destroy the continent's crust, restraining it within a certain range. And with the help of this destructive force, it is induced to continue to penetrate deeper-until it penetrates deep into the mantle!

"Don't let anything go wrong."

Barnier could hear Nostradamus's voice coming from the light curtain on the side, and the rune controller with his head full of liquid nitrogen was concentrating on manipulating the magic circle. He only had time to reply: "This plan is mine. Designed!"

In this case, there can be no problem!

And the fact is just as he said, more than ten seconds later, when the silver giant hand pressed the entire rune array deep into the earth's crust, and itself was completely submerged into the lava mantle, this straight metal line stood between the earth and the sky. The giant pillar actually stabilized like this and no longer trembled at all.

The rune array that was pressed into the depths of the lava activated its second function according to the program predetermined by the designer the moment it felt the hot earth core energy around it!

"Reconstruction of the molten core energy-gathering array - start!"

The command was given, and the rune array that penetrated into the mantle was activated again, and this time, what it had to do was no longer to block the shock wave and heat flow, but to convert the shock wave and the endless heat around it into surging energy.

It can be seen that a gentle vortex has appeared deep in the mantle. The lava flow in the small half of the northwest continent has changed its direction and converged towards the vortex. The power of this blazing earth rotation is fully absorbed by the rune array. , and then turned into the activation key of China Unicom’s giant metal hand.

"Joshua, it's your turn!"

After confirming that the Molten Core Energy-Gathering Array had been activated and that the entire Bander Plateau and half of the continent had not been destroyed by a certain warrior's palm, Barnier wiped the evaporating liquid nitrogen from his head, and then He pointed at a blank light screen and shouted loudly: "Hurry up and stabilize the foundation, otherwise the 'Tower of Babel' will tilt slightly later and we will have to start all over again!"

And a moment later, above the sky, a deep male voice spanned the void and sounded outside the world.

"learn."

"Start, transform!"

Deep in the earth, the metal giant hand originally shaped like a 'palm', with its five fingers like the roots of a giant tree, is firmly fixed in the depths of the earth. As the molten core energy gathering array continues to provide energy, there is also a As the silver light dropped from the end of the sky, the giant metal hand began to undergo a rapid and shocking transformation.

You can see countless densely packed metal thorns like roots coming from the depths around the fingers, palms, and arms. They penetrate into the earth, fix the rock formations, and turn the soft soil into the strongest bedrock. This scene is like The trees took root and sprouted. In less than ten minutes, the entire underground of the Bander Plateau was penetrated by metal roots, and it even continued to spread towards the Xishan Mountains and the southern desert plain on the northeast side of the plateau. Extend away.

At the same time, high in the sky, the world barrier that was torn apart by the huge force began to gradually heal itself - but what is shocking is that the expanding steel pillars are constantly expanding and resisting the closure of the world barrier. This originally With a radius of only about 1,500 meters, a cavity began to appear in the center of the nearly solid metal pillar. The cavity became larger and wider. Gradually, the metal pillar, which originally seemed to have an unusually slender backbone, became larger and larger. This expanded into a huge hollow tower with a total mass of more than 55 trillion tons, reaching the sky and the earth, standing upright between the world and heaven and earth!

It can be seen that the bottom of this giant tower is a huge metal root system rooted in the entire Bander Plateau and even the Western Mountains, and goes straight into the mantle area. The middle end of this giant tower spans a distance of 500,000 meters and sinks into the sky. A giant metal pillar in the realm of 'Void Realm', and the top of this giant tower is a huge void base that goes straight into the void and opens up the world barrier. The base alone exceeds a radius of five thousand meters!

Outside the void, the Titan of Steel disconnected himself from this 'alienated' arm, allowing this arm, which was built to build a giant tower from the beginning of creation, to operate independently.

Above the head of the metal giant, No. 3 opened his eyes wide and watched in shock as the top of the giant tower sealed itself, replenishing a layer of world barrier - the world barrier completed by the giant tower is like the lid of a drink, which can be opened at any time, but In order to prevent foreign objects in the void from entering the world, it is usually closed.

After a long time, she recovered from the shock, and then whispered to herself: "Joshua... is this the 'Tower of Babel' you mentioned?"

"Yes."

Joshua in the form of a giant god nodded slightly. His body was shrinking continuously, and finally turned into a high-density form the size of a mountain range. At this time, he stared at the giant pillar that seemed to support the heaven and earth, and said calmly: "Logically, this thing should be called a 'space elevator', but there is no space or electricity in Mycroft's world. This is not a ladder. On the contrary, it is more like a hollow giant tower, and its effectiveness is not known to be better than that of a space elevator." It’s much higher, so I and others named it the ‘Void Tower of Babel’.”

"This Void Babel Tower can directly connect the earth and the void. Through it, the Mycrov civilization can continuously transport materials to the void and build huge warships or fortresses at one thousand percent of the original cost. Here, In the same way, minerals and precious materials from the outside world can also be imported into Mycroft's world at one percent of the original price."

"The radius is 5,700 meters, and the entire body is made of living metal. The total mass is 55 trillion tons. I directly shaped it in the void through the power of steel. Barnier inscribed runes on it to clear the energy circuit. Baba Rosa enchanted it and turned it into a magical building, and Faina built the core engine of the Void Tower of Babel, which will later be transmitted directly from the East China Sea by Nostradamus to the center of the earth."

Saying this, Joshua's tone was filled with pride: "Actually, I just prepared the raw materials for the tower body, found a dead world, swallowed a few mountains, and shaped it into shape. The Void Babel Tower's The design, site selection, rune enchantment, magic circle inscription, energy system, and the skills to reshape an artificial world barrier are all done by other legendary powerhouses and gods - and soon, natural teachers and others will join them. , they are responsible for creating a complete out-of-world ecosystem in the void base, using this as the foundation to create a 'gravityless' demiplane that is directly connected to the void."

Hearing this, No. 3 silently stared at this huge tower that reaches the sky. Its hugeness can be noticed from outside the world. Its towering can even be seen clearly by fishermen on the edge of Mycroft's world. Such a huge tower For construction, the raw materials alone need to be collected from other worlds and swallow up several huge mountains. However, this is not the limit of this giant tower - because the entire body is made of living metal, if Mrs. McLord wants to expand in the future, it will be very difficult. easy.

With Joshua's strength and No. 3's divine heritage, both of them could see that at the lower end of the giant tower, an extremely powerful electromagnetic field had begun to gather. This electromagnetic field was designed by Barbarossa and Pope Eagle together. The ejection array' can instantly accelerate the projectile to nearly twenty times the speed of sound while ensuring its stability. This speed can even continue to increase, and the power of holy light generated at the same time as the acceleration field will stabilize everything. The structure of the ejected objects ensures that they will not feel any acceleration force.

Under the influence of extraordinary power, all reaction forces, thrusts, and acceleration forces can be easily solved, which is extremely convenient. In fact, the Void Tower of Babel itself can be used as an incredibly huge electromagnetic railgun. After an accelerated orbit of 500,000 meters, any artillery shell can exert incredible destructive power.

"Mrs. McLord, you are so... worthy of awe."

I don't know what came to mind, No. 3 couldn't help but sigh, and then said quietly. But Joshua shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "What is there to be awe-inspiring? No. 3, you are also one of the creators of this great spectacle!"

"Without your quick extraction of key data and information from the unified information database, which gave us a solid technical foundation, even if the Void Babel Tower could be built, it would definitely be much later than it is now... Let’s not talk about this, you see, the ‘Dreadnought-class Void Battleship’ has begun to launch, and it will be the first battleship to pass through the Void Tower of Babel and come from the earth to the void.”

Just when Joshua finished his words, the Xibanert Void Battleship Production Line, an extremely huge battleship with a total length of more than 1,400 meters, began to slowly float into the air with the blessing of anti-gravity magic. It can be seen that silver-blue streamlined streams of magic energy pass through the surface of the ship, proving that its core engine is warming up and starting up.

This warship is over 400 meters wide and about 300 meters high. It has an axially symmetrical design. It looks like a heavy spearhead at first glance. It has a rhombus-like hull structure and is extremely heavy and flexible. Metal armor has a defensive power comparable to, or even surpassing, composite adamantine alloy armor, and the psychic hedging engine originating from the Star Sea world and improved by Faina, the sage of the sea, is its core power source, because the rune controller Ba Neil's intelligent transformation of the battleship allowed this huge battleship to be smoothly controlled by less than five thousand people. ①

Now, the void battleship named 'Dreadnought' has broken away from the production base. It slowly floated to the launch site... Then, with a roar that was louder than thunder, the huge nozzles on the sides and tail of the battleship suddenly erupted. Emitting a 10,000-meter-long spiritual flame, this gorgeous silver-blue light flow created an extremely terrifying driving force, pushing the huge battleship towards the tall tower not far away that reached the sky and the earth.

There is no living person controlling the Dreadnought today. What controls the entire ship now are thousands of temporary elemental beings created by Barnier. They have physical strength similar to that of humans and are the most perfect ones. of experimental subjects.

Joshua and No. 3, Barnier and William, Nostradamus and Faina, Barbarossa and Eagle... all the legendary strong men who are paying attention to this scene, paying attention to the Void Tower of Babel and the Dreadnought-class battleship, They all watched this scene seriously. They watched the battleship resist the heavy gravity from the earth and the huge resistance brought by the air. In this way, it flew slowly bit by bit, and then passed through the Tower of Babel. A huge valve with a length of 100 meters and a width of 100 meters, officially enters it.

"Electromagnetic ejection array activated!"

"Activate the Holy Light Defense System...start to offset the impact!"

"Launch countdown... 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... Launch!"

"boom!!!"

Along with the blue arc of magic energy flashing, a huge electromagnetic field immediately enveloped the entire Dreadnought-class battleship. This huge steel creation was accelerated to a rapid speed of six kilometers per second in an instant, and then just like that, it headed towards the sky. At the end of the world, the outside of the world flies away.

It can be seen that a ray of silver light flies towards the void along the hollow pipe, and the translucent crystal layer can clearly see the flashing light flow.

Then, a minute and a half passed.

On the top floor of the Void Babel Tower, the man-made world barrier slowly opened, and a huge battleship spurting out a stream of silver-blue light flew out of it lightly and entered the void.

"Start post-ejection inspection... The original number of survivors, 5135, begins detection..."

"It has been determined that the number of survivors is 5,135. No serious injuries, no minor injuries, no abnormalities. Detection result assessment: perfect!"

On the Xibanert Plateau, deep in the void battleship production line, in the central control area, two synthetic sounds without any emotion came from the central control area.

At first, there was only silence.

Then, as the first round of applause sounded, soon, thunderous applause resounded throughout the entire production base!

Joshua and No. 3 were outside the world, and they could not hear the applause and cheers of the ordinary people on the earth who were responsible for perfecting the design of the legendary powerhouse, building the battleship, and executing this miraculous plan. However, invariably, They, and all the legendary strong men from all corners of the world who were watching this scene, raised their hands to the huge battleship flying in the void and applauded seriously.

Because what they just saw was the beginning of a civilization that truly entered the void era.

And a civilized childhood also came to an end.

1: The appearance of the Dreadnought-class void battleship is similar to the Eltreum, a small one.
