Soul of Searing Steel

Chapter 944: Chaos memes

Views:

A chaotic condensation like a mountain peak was sealed by translucent crystals in an obelisk that was larger than the mountain peak. A dark and profound aura permeated the area, even making the light of the surrounding forest of crystal obelisks appear extremely dim.

Chaos, like order, is something that is contagious, self-replicating, and extremely corrosive, and the malicious chaos from the evil god is even more special. Even Joshua has already annihilated their activity and crushed these things. The condensed core of Chaos prevents these malicious Chaos from growing into new evil gods, but their corrosiveness can still wreak havoc in the world of a God of Steel.

It can be seen that the area around the giant crystal obelisk has become a restricted area for the silver fairies. These Joshua's family members have extremely high authority in the silver world. They are like the white blood cells of the world, able to mobilize the warriors to a certain extent. The power can repair the erosion caused by Chaos, and can also attack and destroy some mildly malicious Chaos. If the conditions are met, all members can even use the high-level golden Symmetra to perform purification operations.

But even the silver goblins who were protected by Joshua did not dare to get close to the "last chaos condensation" in this silver world. Its danger level was evident - Joshua even saw a few of them around the obelisk. The silver goblins that had turned black lay unconscious on the ground, like bees killed by mosquito coils. It seems that they are the silver goblins who stayed here after the previous purification failed.

It can be seen that some of the eyes of these silver fairies have turned into big X's, and some have turned into whirlpools... This is what elemental life forms are like.

“…”

Without saying a word, Joshua raised his hand and threw these corroded silver fairies out. The other silver fairies cheered and praised the name of Lord Joshua, and they would naturally throw these corroded similar creatures into the purification pool. After washing it again, the warrior came to the base of the obelisk, the huge condensation of chaos, the last black stain in the silver world.

Over the years, billions of players have cooperated with Joshua's flushing and purification, but the reason why this condensation has not been destroyed is actually not as complicated as everyone thought. The answer is actually very simple - that is, when this chaos appears in the game In my memory, when the relevant civilization encountered problems, no player could solve them and officially pass the level.

All the chaotic memories of civilizations that were troubled by this problem and then destroyed have shown no sign of being purified so far.

And Joshua came here to solve this problem.

So the warrior reached out and touched the base of the obelisk.

And the moment Joshua touched the obelisk, he could sense that there was an unusually large suction force acting on his mind, trying to pull him into the dream-like chaotic memory - if it were before, Qiao Xiuya had already been pulled in at this time, and then in the illusion, he tried to solve the problems that Chaos Memory had encountered, and then destroyed and purified the opponent from within. This is also generally the most formal process of purifying chaotic memories. Even the game Strife Continent follows this principle, pulling players into a safe game scene that is similar to a chaotic illusion to experience and solve problems.

But what is more embarrassing is that in order to do this, the size of the chaotic memory must be at least equal to that of the person being pulled in.

Obviously, comparing Joshua's current size with the chaotic condensation that is only a few thousand meters high, it is obvious who is bigger.

This is Joshua Van Radcliffe, the body of a super-powerful man who has surpassed the stellar level. And the chaotic memory this time is not the evil god of death at the galaxy level in the past world. It can only be regarded as the most stubborn remnant of the other party. A stain—so on the contrary, the chaotic memory was pulled into Joshua's mind, and then carefully observed and analyzed by the warrior to dissect the essence.

"...Change and conservatism. So, two chaotic cores that can condense into evil gods."

Through pure energy level suppression, Joshua easily obtained the corresponding civilization memory from chaos, and found out the essential problems contained in it.

But this time, what he discovered from the chaos clot was 'change' and 'conservatism'. These two caused the destruction and demise of multiple civilizations. If he had not suppressed them, they would have gradually grown into two evil gods in the outside world. The powerful chaotic nature.

Of course, it is said that there are two, but in fact, these two chaotic essences are entangled and almost inseparable, making the situation many times more complicated than when they were alone. No wonder the players cannot easily solve this problem.

Joshua's mind deeply analyzed these chaos, and soon he received almost countless flashing memory fragments from them - and these memory fragments, without exception, are fragments of civilizations that were destroyed due to 'change and conservatism' .

-A primitive high-energy world, where multiple races worship multiple primitive gods. These primitive gods are born with part of the power of fire, possess extremely powerful power, and enjoy the sacrifices of each race. Such a world of primitive belief will generally gradually become a theocratic world of polytheism over time. It may also continue to be a primitive social form for tens of thousands of years, or even remain unchanged forever.

But suddenly one day, a god priest discovered that the divine power of the original god could be taken away, so the god priest spent a long time, step by step, taking away the power of the god he was worshiping, and became a new god. This naturally caused countless While the gods and sacrifices were shocked, they also had different thoughts in their hearts. Naturally, the original gods were also panicked and furious. They launched a war against the new gods and many gods and priests with evil intentions, and this primitive god The high-energy world was destroyed in the civil war between gods.

-A world with almost no supernatural power. Intelligent races with sexual differences have developed into the industrial era. Among them, males have the advantage in physical strength and have dominated the evolutionary development process for thousands of years, while females were basically in the previous era. As an accessory, their status is low. Even if their status has been improved recently, they will still suffer a lot of discrimination.

However, due to the process of industrialization, the differences between males and females have been narrowed. In factories, males and females are not treated differently. In their respective positions, the resources produced by both parties are close. Therefore, with the development of industrialization, the status of females has also changed. Gradually improving, both in terms of living habits and dress, are far different from the past era when males were dominant. Some females even gained economic independence through work and no longer had to look at the male's face. This naturally led to fierce competition among the stubborn conservatives. Backlash - Some male chauvinists reject changes in women's rights and call for society to return to the past, refusing to allow women to show up and work in factories.

This is naturally contrary to the social process. In order to safeguard their own rights and interests, females do not hesitate to confront the male chauvinists. However, the disputes between the two parties did not gradually subside as the times progressed. Instead, they became more and more intense, until finally, a The two genders within the race regard each other as enemies and enslave each other's parts as reproductive tools. Due to the unique physical characteristics of the race, the male and female have even transformed themselves into two completely different and independent races, both with unique characteristics. The ability to reproduce... and the outcome of both sides is to destroy each other in a global race war.

-A world that was originally free of demons, but due to various reasons, has gradually developed extraordinary power. The civilization has developed to the level of the Middle Ages. A small number of awakened people who are born with extraordinary power appear in places where extraordinary power is abundant. This was originally a civilization that gradually developed. It is a good thing to develop extraordinary powers, but due to civilized culture, all those born with extraordinary powers are regarded as monsters and hunted by pickets composed of ordinary people.

Because of individual differences, jealousy, and fear of the unknown, ordinary people continue to hunt extraordinary beings without inheritance. It’s just that the naturally awakened extraordinary beings do not have much countermeasures before they grow up, and can only rely on the protection of their parents. Down, he fled into the deep mountains and forests to barely survive. As the turmoil intensifies, the confrontation between extraordinary people and ordinary people becomes more and more intense. In order to stifle possible signs of extraordinary people, the pickets will even kill innocent ordinary people without any hesitation. If those who protect extraordinary people are discovered, they will be killed. He will be tortured to death.

The parents of an extraordinary person were found to be sheltering the extraordinary person. After sending their son into the mountains, they were burned alive by the pickets. The extraordinary person who witnessed all this cursed everyone and everything. He cursed the world with strong hatred. His extraordinary power was driven by his will to become stronger, and before he died, this curse was combined with the souls of countless killed extraordinary people, turning into an extraordinary plague that destroyed all life. It resided in a certain common influenza virus. Among them, it began to spread around the world... The super Black Death killed all intelligent life, and civilization was declared extinct.

Joshua quickly browsed through the memories of these destroyed civilizations. The more he looked at them, the tighter his brows became.

"This problem is a bit unsolvable... The alternation and struggle between the new and the old is essentially part of the development of order and civilization... No one can boast that they can solve it 100%."

Change and conservatism are actually self-struggle and progress within the order. The process of regression, while bringing about possible progress, may also bring about regression and destruction. And this self-destruction factor, under the guidance of the evil god of death, Transformed into a powerful chaotic essence, if Joshua had not suppressed it, as long as these chaotic forces came to the outside world and destroyed a civilization, they would inevitably grow into a new evil god.

Of course, Joshua can't solve this problem. After all, Mrs. Mike Rowe still has a certain rejection of physical transformation, and is also very cautious about the newly developed various fighting qi cultivation techniques.

This is not surprising, because behind the reforms that represent 'innovation' and 'progress', there are also shadows called 'madness' and 'blindness', and behind the conservatism that seems to represent 'ignorance' and 'stubbornness', there are also shadows Positive connotations of 'prudent' and 'responsible'.

And it seems that he sensed the scene in Joshua's mind about the reform and conservatism of Mycroft's civilization. The chaotic memory that was originally sealed in the crystal obelisk and solidified like a rock suddenly boiled, and the malicious chaos turned into The rotating vortex released a dim light, and at the same time, the silver fairies who were watching this scene from a distance, with faces full of anticipation, waiting to see how their masters purified the chaos, suddenly felt like the world was spinning, and each one looked like Like bees fainted by smoke, they fell like rain.

They felt that their minds were being shaken, and all kinds of colorful and extremely disgusting colors filled their minds. The sky and the earth around them were shaking alternately, like a mirror being turned upside down. Inexplicable power passed through the connection of 'watching', It began to invade the simple and innocent minds of each silver fairy, trying to plant seeds.

But soon this dizzying mental intrusion ended.

When the silver fairies reopened their eyes, what they saw was the collapse of a mountain-like crystal obelisk, and the extremely huge and boiling chaos condensation that was originally sealed in it was compressed by the warriors and became only as big as a fist. One scene.

Among the clusters of crystal obelisks as dense as a primeval forest, the largest sealing obelisk collapsed silently. The translucent crystals that made up its shell shattered and decomposed in mid-air, turning into a light mist that filled the sky. Rows after rows of mysterious and complicated objects. Runes were derived from the mist, and countless silver lines spread around the warrior's incarnation. The majestic power of steel surged. While suppressing the chaos, it also condensed light particles like flying snow in mid-air.

Joshua stood on the ground. He looked like the size of an ordinary human being, but he felt bigger than the world. He stared at the black chaotic essence in his hand that he had forcibly compressed into the size of a fist, and shook his head. .

"Sorry, I can't solve your problem."

In Silver Fairy's ears, Joshua's slightly apologetic voice came to him: "Then I can only deal with you."

Snap.

The chaotic memories that have troubled billions of players in the Continent of Dispute for several years have been completely crushed by brute force. Sometimes, brute force cannot come up with the answer to the problem, but it can solve the problem itself, just like reform. Whether you are a reformist or a conservative, if you have absolute power, no matter you are blind, crazy, or stubborn and ignorant, you will have the opportunity to be corrected and return to the right path, not to mention that even if it is the wrong path, with absolute power With support, I'm afraid I can get a good future.

This is also an answer.

It could be seen that at the moment when the black clot of chaos was completely crushed, countless chaotic powers exploded, and the malicious chaotic power flew around him as if alive, trying to invade Joshua's body.

Joshua did not resist. He closed his eyes and allowed these chaotic forces to invade his incarnation, experiencing this 'extraordinary power' that was beyond the scope of ordinary people's understanding.

Just like magic, elements, ether, life energy, holy light and other extraordinary powers... the special extraordinary power that belongs exclusively to evil gods and the Chaos Familia, the essence of 'malicious chaos', is also a special extraordinary power.

"I can't understand it - maybe my level is not enough. The legend has not yet broken through 'that level'."

Opening his eyes, Joshua looked a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered up: "But it's not without gain.

Joshua came unexpectedly to clean the inside of his world this time, not simply because he wanted to solve the health problems within his world. The warrior actually didn't care about the chaos issues, just to verify his guess.

— Chaos Essence, or in other words, Chaos Meme.

A power similar to psychic bugs that infects, spreads and detects through information transmission!

At this time, Joshua had roughly understood how the evil god induced the Chaos Chain, and how it targeted the invasion through the 'number of intelligent beings aware of its existence'... Just like before, the original silence represented 'change and The chaotic nature of "conservatism" was immediately activated because of the "reform and conservatism of Mycroft civilization" that Joshua was thinking about. The warrior was absolutely sure that the evil god accurately detected "memes" similar to his own. Find your target civilization and launch invasion and destruction.

The evil god of natural disasters attacked the world of Ilgona, which suffered from natural disasters, and the evil god of fertility attacked the world of Mycrof, which was at its peak. These are obvious examples. Joshua believes that some evil gods are even in a nearly non-existent sleeping state until they are sensed. When a meme meets the standard, it will revive and attack it.

At the moment when civilization is destroyed, malicious chaos will extract the essence of chaos, that is, the chaos meme as the core, sealing all the information and memory of the entire civilization... In a sense, this is a natural phenomenon, just like Just like the Holy Light is born to purify everything, Malicious Chaos, as one of the extraordinary powers, is born to produce evil gods. This is a kind of 'changed multiverse universal cognition' just like magic and other extraordinary powers.

"Sure enough, the evil god is a memetic creature to a certain extent."

Dazzling silver light came from Joshua's body, purifying all the nearby malicious chaos one by one, turning it into small silver balls like stars, rotating around him. The warrior's eyes were deep, and he could see a trace of crimson. Light is shining in his eyes.

"The same goes for God."
