The starting point is the edge of the galaxy, Jetrum star field.
The world of Jetrum is a continent that has been transformed beyond recognition.
It has turned into a gray world. From a distance, it looks like a flat white paper. Even the ocean is densely covered with sporadic and regular gray dots, and like circuit boards, faint blue rune lines run through all the gray dots. The point, flickering brightly and darkly, absorbs all the energy in the entire world, from the atmosphere to the core of the earth.
A black, huge metal building like a city is located on the dividing line between the sea and the mainland.
It is shaped like a disk, but there are two symmetrical and towering twin towers in the center. Between the twin towers, thunder flashes, and magic power that can shake the world is gathering, turning into a blue vortex with a diameter of more than four thousand meters. And a huge space-time rift that is 10,000 meters long is suspended at the top of the Twin Towers, erratic.
Plop-plop-the rain is falling. Abnormal magic power condenses water vapor, making the sky gloomy and freezing rain falls. The damp water vapor soaks everything, allowing the overly dense magic power to return to the world in this cycle.
And under the dark and gloomy sky, in the rain condensed by magic power, a white-haired old man was standing at the core center of the space-time hub, using magic power to fine-tune the frequency of the entire hub.
Infinite information flows in the twenty-seven light curtains in front of the old man. The complicated runes in every corner of each light curtain are like a heavenly book. If ordinary people take a glance, the overly dense knowledge and power will rush into their hearts. If you're lucky, you'll just be in a coma; if you're not lucky, you might go crazy.
The old man was focused on his work, completely absorbed and completely forgetful of himself. He seemed to have completely given up his attention to the material world and abandoned the shell left in reality.
And at this moment, behind the old man, a figure hidden in nothingness suddenly appeared from the material world. With a sudden burst of spiritual energy, a figure mixed between reality and illusion held a god mixed with divine power, which was enough to annihilate and assimilate everything. The blade of energy pierced the back of the old man's head with the force of a white rainbow piercing the sun!
Everything happened in an instant measured in microseconds. Because of the illusory body, the attacker's speed had almost no resistance. It penetrated everything like a stream of light. Its purpose seemed not only to destroy the old man's brain, but also to connect the space-time hub. The core center is also destroyed together!
The old man was completely unaware and did not react at all, allowing the other party to attack.
But just when the attacker was overjoyed and thought he had succeeded, the moment the divine blade touched the old man's skin, it instantly collapsed and turned into golden particles all over the sky. The attacker was caught off guard, and the whole person fell into a trap. The old man was also shocked and decomposed into psychic particles that filled the sky.
After recalculating the positioning and removing thousands of redundant and erroneous transmission lines, Barnier finally had time to look around. He frowned, looked at the golden psychic particles in the sky, and cursed in a low voice: "These little things , why don’t you know the lesson?”
Since more than twenty days ago, there have been raiders from higher civilizations in other worlds crossing the defense line at the edge of the world's galaxy, preparing to assassinate Barnier and destroy this space-time hub. Many of them have the strength to reach the legend, and their aura is vaguely better than that of the old mage. There needs to be a more powerful existence.
But this space-time hub can be regarded as a clone of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrificial Site in the other world galaxy. Its functions are so great that other civilizations can easily understand it? With it, Barnier blocked the raids of all the powerful opponents and blocked them from the other side of time and space - but the net was too big, it could block whales, but it couldn't block Xiami, and Barnier didn't have time to defend himself. Existences that pose no threat to themselves at all.
So in the past twenty days, there have been assassination attempts almost all the time... Unfortunately, both the illusory assassins who control psychic powers and the Void Demons who have evolved to walk in subspace have made one thing wrong. .
He, Barnier, has reached the level of legend with his ultimate strength. How can the power of his rune body be beyond the imagination of ordinary people? Even the strength of the instinctive counterattack cannot be resisted by any being below the level of Jiyi High-level. Even if it is a high-level Jiyi, if it does not withdraw in time, it will be wiped out on the spot.
"I can already vaguely sense the call from the other side of the Lost Galaxy... The space-time hub is about to be successfully debugged. I can also go to the front line later to stabilize the situation."
At this time, Barnier could hear a call that seemed to come from a very far away place. In response, the old man remained calm, but he still nodded slightly and touched his beard: "My work here is almost completed, but there are still some Fine-tuning the system, and waiting for the connection back home.”
Although these tasks are complicated and difficult, they are not a trouble for him. The old mage estimates that it will take about two or three days to solve these problems, completely improve the space-time hub, and open a teleportation star gate across the galaxy in the world of Jetrum. Greatly ease the tension of the situation.
The front line is fine at this time. In recent months, although the 'knowledge takers' have not communicated, responded, or communicated with the expedition fleet at all, they have not launched a forcible attack, but have kept stacking fortresses. , building fortresses, the two sides have never formally fought. Instead, they have jointly eliminated many other civilization fleets that attempted to enter the starting point galaxy.
The natural mentor and others analyzed and found that the Knowledge Receivers did not seem to care about the expedition fleet itself. They built fortresses on the edge of the galaxy, seeming to want to block the two galaxies. The fleet of the expedition fleet could go out, and they did not block it. But if the fleet If you want to come back from the alien galaxy, you will be attacked by the other party.
Since there is no suitable means of communication, even psychic energy cannot break through the mental barrier formed by all the fleets of the Knowledge Receiver, so the two sides can only remain confused at this time and engage in a mysterious confrontation.
In addition, Barnier also knew that the battle between Joshua and other alien galaxy powerhouses had penetrated eleven star regions and destroyed three small and medium-sized worlds. Although due to the melee, the frontline expedition The fleet could observe that Joshua was not at a disadvantage, but the battlefield was still approaching the edge of the galaxy.
In any case, Joshua held back the top combat power of Alien Galaxy, ensured the peace of the battlefield and the rear, and he seemed to be having a good time, so that was enough.
Everything is within the expectations of the legendary strong men, and it is a relatively good kind of prediction. You must know that if it is the worst case scenario, then Joshua and the strong men from other worlds are on the Jetrum planet. With fighting around the domain, others can barely guarantee the safety of the void base and the space-time hub, and they also have to face the attacks of multiple coalitions of alien civilizations. They have to persist in that terrifying environment for several months until they wait until the portal. Open to start counterattack.
Compared with this situation, which makes people feel terrible just thinking about it, now everything is really within the range of acceptance.
But to be honest, everything is expected, and sometimes it is not a good thing.
"Bang—"
A dull voice sounded from outside the world, and the roar of spiritual energy that reached people's hearts was like a storm, sweeping across the entire star field.
"... Damn it, I knew they wouldn't give up..."
Barnier raised his head depressedly. He had long expected that the alien civilizations that teleported raiders would never wait for the joint fleet to build the space-time hub. The closer they were to the end, the more their raids would become. Violently, at this time, the old mage could feel that on the other side of time and space, more than three legendary spiritual masters were performing rituals, using unlimited divine power to mix spiritual energy to bombard the forbidden teleportation area blocked by the time and space hub.
At this time, Barnier had to temporarily put aside his work at the time and space hub, and went to the void to draw a large rune formation for further sealing - the old mage did not dare to underestimate the other party, even if only one strong man came through. , it can entangle him and make the blockade unable to be repaired, which will lead to a vicious cycle, causing more and more powerful people from other worlds to break the blockade.
At that time, the situation was very bad. I am afraid that the only way to restore the situation and buy time is to control the void base designed by Joshua to self-destruct.
boom!
The roar of space-time vibrations became louder and louder, and Barnier's expression changed. The opponent's strength was a bit beyond imagination - this alien civilization's time-space magic skills are not weak at all! Simply relying on the space-time hub cannot stop them!
The old mage no longer hesitated, he immediately floated into the air and prepared to go to the void.
And just when the old mage was about to leave the world of Jetrum and go to the void, a wall at the core of the space-time hub began to deform.
A metal humanoid appeared where Barnier was originally. He looked in the direction where the old man left, and then nodded heavily. Next, he took over the other party's work and continued to quickly adjust and investigate.
Barnier naturally knew this.
The power of Steel Element No. 1 is just like a smaller and weakened version of Joshua. Its computing power is extremely powerful, like a biological supercomputer. Maybe it is not so neat in using runes, but according to It will not be difficult for the auxiliary program left by Barnier to handle the next work. In addition, Joshua and Barnier have been cultivating No. 1 on the spacecraft, and even made it capable of temporarily integrating into the space-time hub. The ability to act as a hub for the entire 'Tower Spirit'.
"But even so... there is no guarantee that he can handle such a complex problem."
Barnier was still a little worried about this substitute who would replace him in an emergency. Even though Joshua had great confidence in No. 1 and even said that the other party was essentially the first family formed by replicating himself, it was precisely Because of this, the old mage was worried: "Joshua's reappearance... sigh."
I don’t think about it anymore, the problem is huge and it’s useless to think about it.
"Speaking of it, if I have to say it, as the so-called first family member, the number one should be regarded as Joshua's..."
During the flight, Barnier narrowed his eyes and began to think carefully, but soon he shuddered and shook his head to reject his guess.
And then, he had no time to think about these issues.
Being dragged by my dad to shovel snow... that's all I have for the time being.
