In the world of stars, the first year after the Great Roundabout Battle, the first month after the summoning ceremony of the "Abyss of Tomorrow" in the atrium.
The world is being changed and colored.
The tense war has lasted for thousands of years, and there is almost no peaceful place except the home front. A new kind of extraordinary power has appeared in the territory of the Guardian Alliance.
This extraordinary power is different from the extraordinary powers such as 'magic', 'elements' and 'holy light' that were introduced with the arrival of a certain sage in the past and have almost nothing to do with spiritual energy. It can be said to be a derivative of spiritual energy. , a peculiar variation and transformation.
And just as psychic energy can be internally divided into the 'Meditative Sect' and the 'Extreme Emotional Sect', this power is also internally divided into red courage, golden wisdom, turquoise perseverance and blue-violet determination.
Unlike other extraordinary powers such as magic, which require new methods of use and practice, this strange power, officially named 'Emotional Power', can be perfectly used with various psychic techniques, and can even inherit all of the user's psychic powers. , and even go one step further than that.
The only thing that can be said to be different is that the power of emotion has extremely high requirements on the user's mental state, and even on the mental state of other beings in the surrounding environment.
For example, on the front line of the battle between the Guardian Alliance and the Chaos Familia, the red light of courage has the most awakened people. However, unless the awakeners of other emotional lights are particularly outstanding and determined, their light will be overshadowed by the red light. Covering, and at the rear of the alliance, it cannot be said that there are no awakeners of the light of courage, but they are at an overwhelming disadvantage compared to the other three kinds of light.
This situation also occurs in several different races. For example, some races that are naturally warlike and indifferent, even if they do not fight often, are more likely to gravitate towards red, while those species that focus on thinking and even degenerate their bodies get gold. The favor of the light of wisdom is not a strange thing.
Although, due to the spread and strong vitality of the Chaos Familia, unless it is the real rear area, there will be varying numbers of Chaos invasions in every galaxy within the alliance, which will give rise to the light of courage in battle, but It is incomparable to the frontline where a battle that lasts several days requires more than a dozen fleets to attack at the same time and take turns to suppress the Chaos Familia in order to repel them.
The alliance map displayed in the big data even forms a rainbow-like distribution - green at the end, gold and blue-purple in the middle, and red at the front.
Regardless of these data, the power of emotion itself is also an extremely strange power.
As soon as it appeared, it caused great changes to the entire Galaxy Guardian Alliance. In the 'revelation' twenty-eight days ago, a total of thirty-one Omega psykers responded to the power of various emotional powers. , directly broke through the current realm and became a brand new immortal psyker - this almost doubled the high-end combat power within the entire alliance. Even because of the existence of the power of emotion, they may be better than the previous immortals in terms of pure combat. Psykers are stronger.
Among them, the most representative one is the bearer of the 'Ring of Courage', Kedar Monaan, a Qinya fleet commander.
He performed well in the great roundabout battle not long ago, but his home planet fell due to the counterattack of the Chaos Familia. The fleet commander had no choice but to destroy his civilization's home star.
Everyone thought that he might fall in grief and self-blame, but the emergence of the power of emotion allowed him to get out of the abyss - now, Commander Kedar, who has understood true courage and became an immortal, has become one of the four great powers of emotion. The leader of the branch organization 'Chi Yong Tian', he vowed to always fight on the front line until 'tomorrow' when there is no more chaos.
Similarly, other organizations of emotional power were also established one after another, such as the 'Zhu Huitian' of the Ring of Wisdom, the 'Hongyi Tian' of the Ring of Perseverance, and the 'Ji Xin Tian' of the Ring of Determination. Each branch organization has at least one person. A 'ring bearer' that perfectly fits his philosophy.
Of course, due to time, the system of emotional power has not completely spread to every corner of the star world, and not everyone can receive the enlightenment and awaken this brand-new power—according to proportion, about one million people Only one emotionally rich individual can awaken the power of emotion. Although this number will gradually increase in the future, it also proves that this extraordinary power is not low for individual qualifications or 'spiritual conditions'.
But even for outstanding individuals who can awaken the power of emotion in the first place, not everyone can be a perfect fit - if there are 10 billion intelligent beings who have awakened the power of emotion, then 'precept holders' The number may not exceed ten. It not only echoes courage, but also echoes hatred, anger and madness. It is not only full of curiosity, but also greedy, passionate and indulgent... As the saying goes, good emotions must have negative ones. You must also have emotions, have both, and be able to control them. Only in this way can you be a healthy person. Only such a being can become a 'ring bearer' and obtain a physical copy of the artifact and the projection of the four emotional rings. .
In addition to the special features of various systems, the power of emotion can also be used on the battlefield and in daily life to do things that original psychic powers cannot do.
As a mixture of spiritual energy and life energy, emotional power is far better than pure spiritual energy in affecting physical existence: the holder of emotional power can materialize his power and form an energy stance visible to the naked eye. , temporarily using it as a substance.
At a relatively low level, users of psionic powers can at most rack their brains and use psychic thrusts to attack other people's hearts and perform heart-piercing attacks, while users of emotional power can directly conjure a large iron spine and use the power of their souls to pierce their hearts. The power directly physically stabs the heart.
Of course, this does not mean that psionic power is inferior to the power of emotion. Just like at a high level, psionic power can use various telekinesis abilities to easily clean up an entire battlefield and invisibly destroy thousands of chaotic creatures. The Familia are crushed, and the way the emotional power is used is to embody a Titan-level heavy armor crusher, physically crushing the entire battlefield.
It’s hard to compare which one is stronger and which one is weaker, but psionic power is indeed more of a universal type of ability. It can do everything and is good at everything. But unless you are a true genius, it is difficult to reach the extreme - and the requirements of emotional power , it is an 'extreme' emotion from the beginning, and the purpose of being created is to kill, so in terms of combat, the energy utilization efficiency of the two is naturally incomparable.
According to rumors, according to a certain God of Steel from the void, if the power of emotion reaches the immortal, or even the realm of infinite light, then it will manifest into the form of the 'Armageddon-class Star Destroyer' or even the 'Star Destroyer' It is not impossible to have a terrifying war weapon of this level, and on the front line, many powerful new emotional power holders crushed the fleet of the Chaos Familia, and the 'big counterattack' against the Dark Galaxy completely proved that emotions The superiority of strength in combat.
The 'Spectral Fleet', embodied by thousands of users of Omega-level emotional power, is like a game player controlling a character. It can fight across half the battlefield, regardless of casualties. This experimental fleet defeated itself. It took one hundred and seventy times the number of enemies to be completely annihilated by the endless stream of Chaos Familia. The result was beyond everyone's expectations.
Moreover, even if the battleship is smashed, it is nothing more than the user falling into a sage state without desires for a week or two, unable to raise any emotions. It is not even like psychic energy, which will cause soul damage.
Under the watchful eyes of the Titan and the Psychic Fusion, without the two superpowers taking action, the Galaxy Guardian Alliance, which was originally on the defensive, turned to the offensive and launched a large-scale cleanup and counterattack against the Chaos Familia. The entire star world The outlook of decline and darkness has been swept away, and it has become filled with hope.
"That's almost it. If there are no big changes, then there is no need for us to take action."
In the void, Joshua said this. He glanced at the Milky Way and nodded slightly: "If there is no evil god, or a top-level Chaos Familia close to the evil god level, then there is not much point in our action."
After all, even with Joshua's power, it would take thousands of years to clean up the dark galaxy that has been completely eroded by Chaos - it doesn't matter how many months more he kills and how many months less he kills. It can even be said to be a waste of energy. , rather than killing the dependents here, he hopes to go outside the world of stars to see if he can find the true form of the evil god and kill the real source of the disaster.
[Invitation: The preliminary work has ended, Radcliffe, Triple Curtain invites you to the core center for in-depth exchanges]
"Ah, of course no problem."
Hearing the request of the Immortal Lighthouse, Joshua would naturally not refuse. Rather, this was a request he had made before, but recently he had been following the spread of the power of emotion, and had nothing to do with the Immortal Lighthouse and its The other two companions made small corrections to the Ring of the Four Gods: "Then, let's go now."
And just when Joshua spread the power of emotion in the star world, he was invited to the core center to have further communication with the triple curtain.
Mycroft World, the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrificial Site, and the Multi-Galaxy Star Gate Void Base.
Around the main plane of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrificial Site, there are now a large number of void ship constructions, building a huge steel ring base surrounding the plane. This base will be the base of the central shipyard of the Mycroft civilization in the future, and will also be The center of the plane fortress, in addition to the dwarves as engineers, there are also a large number of elves as ship builders stationed in the construction team. These little beings who are very proficient in the power of elements and have a deep understanding of the mysteries of the plane can monitor everything. Changes in the plane body of the boundary sacrificial site ensure the safety of construction.
But now, at the completed end, where the cross-border star gate is located, a loud beep sounded in the monitoring area.
"Intelligence shows that there is a large-scale abnormal energy reaction in the bloody battle galaxy!"
In the non-real-time monitoring area, the staff member responsible for intelligence exchange with the surveillance personnel of the alien galaxy was stunned for a moment after reading a report, but her body's instinct made her subconsciously press the prompt button and issue an announcement to the senior management: "Second Eighteen days ago, during the bloody battle in the galaxy, abnormal energy fluctuations occurred in the border areas of Amos Royal Court. A little later, the same fluctuations also occurred in the central area of Thakur Annihilation Order. The nature of this energy is similar to Psychic energy, mixed with high-purity vitality—it spreads extremely fast and has an extremely high energy level. It currently covers one-eighth of the world area of the Blood Galaxy, spanning the Thakur Annihilation Order and the Royal Court of Amos! "
"Intelligence shows that the two major forces did not take any action in response to this abnormal energy reaction. The intelligence personnel speculated that they indeed encountered a large-scale mutation, which was more serious than we imagined, so that they had no time to care!"
The information was passed layer by layer and soon spread throughout the top management of Mycroft's relevant departments. However, most people were not particularly interested in this information - although the two natural disaster civilizations in the bloody battle across the galaxy were indeed very powerful and terrifying. , but not only are they far away from the actual control range of Mycroft civilization, they also have no more ability to interfere. Today, all the power of the Mycrof civilization is spent on infrastructure, training, expanding the production system and having children. Disasters in other civilizations are not within their scope of attention.
As for the abnormal energy reaction... At this rate of diffusion, it would probably take tens of thousands of years for the Bloody Battle Galaxy to spread to the Mycroft World Colony closest to them. This is still the most optimistic estimate.
The vastness of the multidimensional galaxy is no joke.
However, it is different from what these senior officials thought.
Of course, the Mycroft civilization cannot stay away from this.
"—Emergency Alert—"
Accompanied by a sharp and piercing buzzing sound, the red warning light quickly filled the entire surveillance area. Even all intelligence personnel have received specific mental training, which is enough to persist in not fainting in front of an adult. When hearing the alarm , they will still feel nervous and alert subconsciously.
Soon, the alarm content was quickly played: "Abnormal energy fluctuations were observed in the world of Mycroft... Detecting the source, the starting point of the abnormal energy fluctuations is the Northern Continent, the Helgamos Empire, the Northern Province, Moldavia collar!"
"Repeat, the starting point of the abnormal energy fluctuation is the 'Lord City of Moldavia in the Northern Province'!"
The warning was timely.
But when the sound appeared, the invisible energy fluctuations had spread, covering the entire Mycroft world and even the surrounding star fields. Ordinary people knew nothing about it. Only those who reached the gold level could feel a little palpitations and extreme feelings. Level one can feel clear abnormalities, while legendary level one can directly determine the source of the abnormality.
At the multi-star gate base of the multiple galaxies, the Holy Mountain Battleship of the Church of the Seven Gods, and the Pope of the Seven Gods, Eagle, are currently holding their own spiritual terminals in the style of a pocket watch, immersed in the spiritual world and playing around in the Continent of Disputes.
For a strong person who has gone a long way to the realm of high-level legends, the benefits that can be obtained in the game Continent of Strife are almost non-existent. The only thing that can be called valuable is the information about aliens. The various civilizational problems and choices that world civilization has encountered. Taking history as a mirror, leaders of civilization can better discover and examine problems within their own civilization.
However, Eagle is not playing Continent of Strife just for this simple reason... He is thinking about whether to set this game as part of the internal level assessment of Mycroft civilization.
That is, as a 'standard'.
For ordinary people, the game Continent of Strife may be just an interesting simulation game that has intellectual content and can also popularize a lot of knowledge. If you play it well, you can also get a lot of benefits... But in fact , the connotation of this game is far more than that. It is not a simple game, but a good educational template.
"Understand the relationship and interests between civilization and individuals, understand the conflicts and origins of contradictions, the coincidence and inevitability of history, understand that extraordinary power and wisdom are not necessary for life, but they are very important to our civilization..."
Opening his eyes, the old pope, who had passed the level again, squinted slightly and looked at the galaxy map hanging in front of him. He whispered: "The most important thing is to understand the environment, this world, and the multiverse that he is in now. How beautiful and precious it is to so many civilizations.”
In Eagle's eyes, the Continent of Strife is the highest level of entertainment, a revolution in education, and a sublimation in thinking patterns - even if it is the most ordinary one, only thinking about his wife and children, there is no ambition. When ordinary people play this game for 'benefits' or 'entertainment', they will involuntarily, or in other words, be guided to think and become a leader of civilization.
Maybe once is not enough, but as long as you play it enough times, even a fool can gradually awaken his will to be the master and inspire motivation.
"Although it seems that he doesn't know much about 'emotions' at all, in fact, he has always grasped the 'emotions' aspect very accurately."
Yes, how could he not understand? How could a general who can lead a charge, a soldier who can fight an enemy like a sea or a falling sky without fear, not understand 'emotion'? That is the sword oil smeared on the sharp edge called strife, the best maintenance and sharpening stone.
And at this moment, an inexplicable energy wave swept across. The old pope had noticed this the moment the wave appeared in Moldavia, but he only chuckled as he had known Joshua's plan for a long time. , let this fluctuation sweep past.
"Hmm... Promotion of Wisdom? Ring of Wisdom? There is also Jixintian, Ring of Determination... The naming is still simple and direct, which one is better..."
Sitting in his seat, closing his eyes, and then opening them again, Eagle looked at the golden rune ring that appeared in the palm of his hand, raised his brows, and chuckled: "But the design is not bad. This guy Joshua has improved."
"quite pretty."
Abnormal energy fluctuations are still spreading, and even the star gate has not become a hindrance, but has become a port to gather it.
after a while.
The starting point is the Galaxy, at the edge of the silent void, in an etheric world shrouded in darkness.
Seven divine lights are flying inside the dark world, in the vacuum, and a huge, funnel-like silver machine is rumbling, converting the huge material transmitted by the endless divine power into the power of steel, and then shaping it again into Various parts, structures and continental plates are placed on the shadow of a ring surrounding the star.
This funnel-shaped machine is as huge as a gas giant, but it is a real entity. Just by virtue of its own mass, it is enough to ignite the fusion flame inside. The Seven Gods cooperate with this machine to make it endlessly run and transform. And materialize matter, creating a building larger than the stars.
An erratic magic projection is located above the machine. She is a winged person with black wings and long blue hair. No. 3 cooperates with the Seven Gods to move the position of the star machine.
You can see that around the giant machine named 'Star Shaper', there is a section of the World Ring skeleton that has been erected for one-seventh. Of course, this is only the most basic part. After the skeleton is built, you still need to fill in the input. Life support system, self-energy supply, self-repair and even self-made living metal production modules, but in any case, everything is on the right track. According to this stone, it is only a matter of time before the ring world is successfully formed.
The energy wave came, and it should have been shielded by the black body barrier, but because it had the same origin as its creator, the code had been set long ago, and the wave entered it without any hindrance, and then spread throughout the entire etheric world.
No. 3 blinked. She sensed that this inexplicable fluctuation was echoing her, but due to the divine power left by the emblem inherited by the God of the Sky, the power that essentially came from another god was blocked. However, No. 3 quickly remembered the source of this fluctuation. The artificial intelligence girl who knew that the plan was successful showed a faint smile, and then continued to control the mechanical operation, creating a huge metal skeleton in the vacuum.
"Really? Mr. Radcliffe is very fast."
"sharp."
"He's always been like this, and I'm not even surprised."
"Stop talking, we still have things to do... Mortals have their own lives, and we also have our tasks."
"It's so..."
"But sure enough, it's still a bit emotional."
Most of the Seven Gods are focused on building the ring world. This task is related to the future survival of the Mycrovian civilization and many other civilizations, and there is no room for any distraction. Therefore, even if they appreciate what Joshua has done, they still appreciate it. They still didn't say much, but continued their work.
There was only one dwarf god, the god of protection and progress, and Yi Zhe temporarily stopped what he was doing.
This god who was the oldest, recalled the most memories, and had spent the longest time with the sages in the past looked towards the direction of the fluctuations with a nostalgic look on his face.
"You guy, can you see..."
He murmured in a low voice, his eyes swaying with the materialized divine power. Yi Zhe couldn't help clenching his fists, his expression seemed to be crying and laughing: "Just like when you created the prototype of the Holy Light... You are arrogant and pretending to be benevolent. Merciful guy...can you see that?! You are not the only genius in this world! There are also people who can do this, even faster than you, much faster than you were!!"
"Your successor has finally reached this point and embarked on the same transcendent steps as you!"
"...can you see..."
The world of stars saw it, and the bloody battle galaxy saw it.
They all saw the Royal Court of Amos, Thakur Annihilation Order, Mycroft Civilization, the Seven Gods, the Legends, and even other civilizations and other void civilizations around the Mycroft Colony.
Everything in the multi-dimensional galaxy has witnessed all this.
Witness this moment that made history.
As for the origin of everything, Joshua Van Radcliffe didn't care about the huge waves he caused. He was accompanying the Immortal Lighthouse to the Central Processor and didn't care about these things at all.
Because all this is just the first step in his plan.
"This is just the beginning."
What he has to do and want to do is far more than anyone imagined.
The first update is to make up for yesterday’s update. I’ll see if I can write a second update...
