In response to this, the warrior standing in the mantle shook his head slightly. He certainly knew what Loranda was thinking at this time and what she was thinking about. They had been friends for many years and had faced the evil god together. Joshua naturally knew the Holy Spirit. The doubts in the knight's heart, and his desire to answer them.
So he raised his hands and could see a silver ball appearing in the center of Joshua's hands. With the appearance of the ball, all the surrounding materials, including metal, rocks, and semi-melted magma, , and the earth's core material under high pressure, all of them were like waterfalls and rivers, and began to be pulled into the ball crazily. In just three seconds, the silver ball, which was originally only the size of a thumb, expanded to It's the size of a human head, but it absorbs as much material as several mountain peaks.
"My friend Loranda—"
The warrior's voice became solemn at this time, and the silver ball he held was shrinking rapidly at this time, but because Joshua only used the power of the peak level of Jiyi, this material ball could not really began to collapse under overpressure, but even so, its density became extremely terrifying: "I know, you want to ask me why the world is like this."
In the next moment, the warrior quickly blasted the ball of matter towards the Paladin with all his strength. It could be seen that the high-density ball of matter accelerated to dozens of times the speed of sound induced a mighty wave of matter deep in the mantle.
It can be seen that behind Loranda, who is standing on the material in the center of the earth, an extremely obvious phantom of aperture appears. Facing the incoming high-density material ball, he roars and bursts out with a huge power of holy light. It can be seen that , the holy light that was so rich that it was almost substantial even forced the material in the core of the earth to dent. It turned into the shadow of a giant hammer, hitting the material ball solidly like hitting a baseball.
The next moment, with a loud roar, the phantom of the Holy Light Hammer dissipated, and the silver material ball was knocked away. It was like an upside-down meteorite, penetrating through layers of solidified mantles and heading towards the planet. The crust above flew away.
Above the core of the earth, the phantom of the halo behind Loranda shattered. He took several big steps back. The Paladin couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood. But what he spit out at this time was not blood and internal organ fragments, but countless flying and The fragments of holy light that rose up. The internal structure of the body of an extremely powerful person is already different from that of ordinary objects. Except for some special schools, most of the extremely powerful people do not have internal organs composed of flesh and blood.
"But I can't give you the answer—I'm not a philosopher."
And neither are you.
I could hear Joshua's voice coming belatedly at this moment. The warrior was suspended above the center of the earth and said calmly: "Why is the world like this? I don't know and I don't care. It's not me who thinks about this kind of problem. This is what a warrior like you and a paladin like you should do."
We should have more important things to do.
And Loranda, who had spent all his strength to block Joshua's previous attack, did not reply immediately. He took a few heavy breaths, and then slowly raised his head and looked at the top of his head from the deepest part of the earth. .
It is a deep tunnel that goes straight down from the top of the earth's crust directly into the center of the earth. The bottom layer of the tunnel is the bright and hot core of the earth, and the middle end of the tunnel is darkness full of shadows - the current Imycrov civilization Technology, it is impossible for any existing drilling machine to do this, but an extraordinary strong person can do it with his own hands, and even this is just a trivial result caused by the aftermath of their battle.
This is the miracle of extraordinary power—the miracle that changes everything.
"Shouldn't we... think?"
The paladin began to waver in his heart, but soon he firmly shook his head and rejected the idea.
No, that's not what it means - people must never give up thinking. If they don't think, then both fighting and survival will lose their meaning.
What Joshua said must have a deeper meaning.
After a moment, Loranda smiled.
"I understand... That's it, that's it!"
Whispering to himself, the paladin seemed to understand something, like a student who had finally figured out an incomprehensible problem. He laughed softly first, and then laughed happily - but soon, the laughter After it was over, Loranda's expression became calm again. He nodded slightly, raised his head and whispered to Joshua: "Joshua, not long ago, I really, really hated the starry sky."
It is too vast, too dark and hopeless, too mysterious and unknown, and full of unpredictable dangers.
"Now then?"
Hearing this, the warrior who originally wanted to continue the attack and squeeze out the last bit of his friend's potential raised his eyebrows with interest. He asked curiously: "Are you starting to like it?"
"No."
Loranda tore off the armor on her upper body that still had some metal fragments left. Exposing some pale skin on his back, he took a deep breath, and then the holy light gathered and turned into a set of dark gray light armor covering his body. The fully enclosed helmet covered the paladin's face, making his voice slightly louder. Dull: "I don't like it either."
"The truth behind this multiverse is darker and more desperate than I imagined when I was young. Compared with it, the evil that occurs in the world is simply not worth mentioning. Whether it is crime or punishment, it seems to be meaningless at all - so, I Really hate it, hate the truth."
-but.
Silently, Loranda once again gathered his faith. He called for the power of the Holy Light at the center of the planet, and the Holy Light responded to him—different from the three common Holy Lights, the dark gray dim Holy Light. Light has a completely different nature from other paladin powers. It is clearly energy, but in an almost material form, it once again turned into a shield and a cross warhammer, which was held in Loranda's hand.
—But that’s why.
It is precisely because he hates this hopeless and dark multiverse, and hates this starry sky full of shadows and chaos.
That's why 'heroes' are needed to eradicate it!
"I don't like stars."
"I don't like the dark."
"I don't like despair."
Here and now, in the center of the dead planet, it is clear that Loranda has not spoken, but his voice is vibrating in the material out of thin air. It can be heard that the clear bass of the Paladin shakes the lava and metal, causing violent vibrations deep in the mantle. : "So. I want to 'transform' this starry sky."
I want it to be bright and warm, bright and safe - I want it to be full of laughter and hope, instead of just the dead silence of nothingness like it is now!
No need to explain anymore—
Philosophers all over the world are trying to explain the world, but this is not important at all - the real problem is how to change the world!
Second update - It was supposed to be connected with the next update, but I feel it is better to separate it.
