[Initially, it was born in a narrow place
Warm undersea hot springs, scorching earth core cavity, the place where frost elements gather in the zenith, rich magic crystal plain... The original origin comes from seemingly inconspicuous places.
Then, it began to spread, from the ocean to the continent, from the underground to the surface—and then, the whole world
Maybe it's a continent, maybe it's a planet, maybe it's the vast sea of stars, or even the void that is wider than the sea of stars and other worlds outside the void... It reproduces, copies itself, and then infects and spreads into many people.
The name of such a common yet extraordinary thing is...]
In the void, there are endless worlds. Each world shines with starlight. The infinite light converges into vast galaxies, and countless galaxies converge again into multiple galaxies. This is the largest physical structure in the multiverse today.
The smallest world is an extremely special existence. Generally speaking, it has only a few mountains and a plain, with an area of no more than a few hundred square kilometers. It can be said that it is not even as big as a big city.
However, in a world of this size, there is definitely an extremely large gathering of extraordinary power. As the core stable world barrier of this world, it is not surprising even if there is a condensed body of extraordinary power at the singularity level. Therefore, this kind of extremely small world can be said to be a hidden treasure in the void, and its number is very small. Even on the scale of the world galaxy, it is difficult to see such a small world.
This kind of extremely small world is different from demiplanes and planes. To sum up, a demiplane is a plane without internal self-circulation ability, while a plane is a world attached to the world. Most of them are man-made. Natural planes are also extremely rare. They vary in size, depending on the world they are attached to.
The most common world size is a 'small world' in the usual sense. The smallest small worlds with life that have been identified so far have an area of about 150 million square kilometers, which is a little larger than a big country in Mycroft's world. The largest world that can be defined as a small world has an area of about 150 million square kilometers. There are 60 billion square kilometers, enough to fit dozens of Mycroft worlds.
A world of this level has complete self-circulation capabilities and a very long lifespan. If there are no accidents, its natural demise will take hundreds of millions or billions of years. And because extraordinary power can greatly speed up the evolution process, they It may only take about a few million years for life to be born inside. If you are lucky, it is not impossible for intelligent life to be born within hundreds of thousands of years.
Small worlds are the most numerous worlds in the multiverse. Most of the extraordinary power and total volume inside them can reach a concentration balance, thus giving birth to life as quickly as possible, and the intelligent life inside will also grow at the fastest speed. Discover the void and begin to explore the unknown beyond the world.
Further up, there are medium-sized worlds, second only to small worlds in number. The size of medium-sized worlds spans a huge range. Generally speaking, they have an area hundreds of times that of Mycroft's world. This is considered the group with the smallest capacity, because most medium-sized worlds have one or even several stars and are composed of many stars. A star system with a large number of planets in it is the so-called galaxy world. Compared with small worlds, here, the concentration of extraordinary power is too low to produce extraordinary births, and the number of planets is too small and too low to produce special cases. In the current multiverse, most medium-sized worlds are still being nurtured. In the process of life, it may take hundreds of millions or even billions of years before the newly born organic matter and single-celled organisms can slowly evolve into truly intelligent life.
The lower limit of a medium-sized world is a supercontinent the size of a star, or a super planet, while the upper limit is more than a thousand star systems, forming a small galaxy, where the stars rotate quietly, and we look forward to it as time goes by. , the life they breed can be born safely in this too young multiverse.
What is larger than a medium-sized world in the usual sense is a 'large world' that contains an entire galaxy or even more galaxies in just one world. In a world of this level, tens of billions of stars shine brightly. This is just the basis. A slightly normal large-scale world basically has multiple galaxies and more than hundreds of billions of stars.
At this point, the strength of the world barrier has reached the point where non-legends cannot enter or exit - if it is a small or medium-sized world, with special skills, Jiyi-level beings can enter and exit, but in the face of this kind of galactic world, Jiyi level You can't even get close, or you can only enter passively and cannot escape. This kind of world is very closed, and most of the lives inside it end up dying in the too vast void, unable to discover the truth about the void outside the world.
The largest type of large-scale world is based on multiple galaxies and more than trillions of observable stars. Even legends need to know special skills to enter this kind of world. They are different from the normal world of galaxies. Those who are not interoperable, except for the Great Demonic Tide, will basically not interact with the void in any information or energy.
However, only a large world of this magnitude can forcibly give birth to intelligent life by chance with a low concentration of extraordinary power. Only a world of this size can withstand the attacks of some weaker evil gods. .
As for the 'super-large world' that is even larger than the large-scale world, it is even said that a single world has given birth to endless stars and countless galaxies. Its size and volume cannot be estimated by the number of stars, but can only be estimated by 'its radius is tens of billions, tens of billions of light years' to determine its observable range.
This kind of world is nurtured by the multiverse, but refuses to communicate with the multiverse. Even if the evil gods want to invade, it is absolutely impossible - perhaps, in the days when the original fire was still burning, it was open, but Due to the passage of time and changes in the basic forces of the multiverse, they have become completely disconnected from the multiverse. It is even said that some of these super large worlds still have no extraordinary power inside, which is the original appearance of the multiverse.
The e-book pages in the light curtain were turned one by one, and sensitive insect tentacles clicked on the virtual screen. An old Qin Yaren read the entire manual, and then showed a thoughtful expression.
"It turns out that the world we are in falls into the category of 'super-large world'...the only worlds that are larger than us are those where one world can be called infinite, and are speculated to be 'near-infinite single universes'."
After reading the entire text, Fleet Commander Kedar closed the e-book in the Psionic Network APP with satisfaction. He could see that there was a very obvious row of Mycroft Common Language written on the cover of the book.
Book title: "Qiao Edition Encyclopedia Part 5"
Subtitle: "A Thousand Things About the Void and the World You Don't Know"
Introduction: One hour will let you understand the basic situation of the multiverse! Reminder, this book is used to popularize basic void knowledge and may not be used for commercial purposes. It is only used for learning and communication - Joshua Van Radcliffe.
When Joshua was summoned to the world of stars by the people of Atrium, and joined forces with the Triple Veil to popularize the power of emotions, he began to vigorously popularize knowledge about the void, evil gods, and the multiverse to the local civilization in the world of stars.
This is actually one of the purposes of Joshua coming to the world of stars - if he can solve the problem of chaos within this world, then he is likely to be able to attract a large number of people in the world of stars who know a lot about the Chaos Familia, and even It can be said that veterans of hundreds of battles who are extremely proficient in chaos warfare serve as reinforcements. Before that, the most important thing is to tell these locals of the star world that there are other worlds and evil gods outside their world, and those evil gods are Their world encountered the source of the Chaos invasion.
Regarding this purpose, Joshua had no intention of hiding anything, and Commander Kedar, who had just read the encyclopedia, also knew this very well. The old commander could even guess that the power of the Rings of the Four Gods he currently held was an attempt by the other party to gain extraordinary power. In essence, he was using them to conduct experiments and explore possibilities for his own future path.
Stretching out his tentacles and touching the red ring on his limbs, Kedar smiled slightly.
"But so what?"
As an elder who has lived for a long time, fought against Chaos for a long time, and knows the human heart deeply, Kedar naturally understands that powerful existences like the God of the Atrium and the God of Fire Radcliffe can transcend They came to the world of stars to help them fight Chaos from a distance of endless worlds, and spread their emotional power in the world of stars without even the slightest hesitation. This kind of behavior is slightly insufficient in terms of nobility. This has simply reached the level of selflessness.
In any case, if an existence of this level wants to recruit a group of reinforcements in the world of stars to help them fight together, there is no need for such troublesome methods. Even from the most harsh perspective, this is a mutual benefit. Even if it cannot be said to be completely selfless help, it is at least a fair transaction and definitely not fraud.
As for experiments... that also requires the civilizations in the stars to be valuable as experimental subjects!
You know, the power of emotion is not some messy mixed power, but a system created by a strong man after careful consideration, and it is also fully compatible with psychic energy! The preciousness of this system becomes clearer the higher the level of civilization. It can completely allow a tribal civilization to reach the sky in one step. If people in the star world do not have the power, who will waste this opportunity that may allow a civilization to reach the sky in one step? Do they conduct experiments
and.
"If it weren't for you, how could I have gained the courage to get out of this predicament and... vent my rage against Chaos?"
Raising his head, Kedar, the former commander-in-chief of the Fire Fleet and five-star commander, stared outside the bridge, staring at the planet that was being suppressed by the joint bombing of an entire fleet. He stared at the planet that had been eroded by the plague and was almost transformed. The planet is in a desperate situation, with a red radiance burning in its eyes.
Since the power of emotions spread throughout the star world, the Guardians of the Galaxy formed a 'Fleet of the Brave' with the original Fire Fleet, or to be precise, Commander Kedar, the ring bearer of the Ring of Courage, as the core. All members of its fleet are espers who have awakened the emotional power of courage, or at least strong psykers who have the tendency to awaken.
The purpose of this fleet, filled with courage and rage, is to eliminate all unstable factors on the galaxy front before the big counterattack arrives.
Just like the bombed planet in front of me.
A planet that has been completely infected by the 'Extreme Plague'.
"Could it be the work of the 'Plague God'..."
Kedar walked to the front of the bridge and stared at the planet in front of him that was almost completely covered by starship gunfire. His eyes were solemn, and he did not show any contempt because of his absolute advantage.
Extreme Virus - The report sent by Joshua to the entire Galaxy Guardian Alliance through the power of the Four Gods' Rings and the Triple Curtain proved that this is a super extraordinary virus that can survive in a vacuum and withstand temperatures exceeding six thousand degrees.
This virus is highly contagious, has a high degree of incubation, and is highly lethal. Now, in less than a month, it has caused hundreds of billions of deaths, hundreds of infected planets have fallen, and even some The civilizations affiliated with the Alliance that suffered the most were completely destroyed by the virus. This level of casualties was close to the number of casualties in a large-scale battle against Chaos. This time, the Guardian Alliance did not even know the true face of the enemy. , and don’t even know how to prevent it.
However, if it were just that, it would not be necessary to use the sharp sword currently in the hands of the alliance, the 'Fleet of the Blazing Heroes'.
"Hoo!!! Ugh!!!"
A huge roar transcended space and resounded directly in the spiritual space. Sensing this angry roar, Kedar lowered his head and stared indifferently at a certain place on the bombed planet.
In the hazy black clouds that rose up as the ocean was evaporated by starship gunfire, there were lavender lightnings and thunders. It could be seen that a huge thing whose body could be clearly seen in space orbit was standing in this thunder cloud. As it shuttled back and forth, it withstood volleys of psychic light spears one after another. From time to time, part of its body was exposed due to too strong explosions, and the atmosphere of the entire planet was stirred by it, causing ripples.
Kedar can clearly estimate the size through visual inspection - judging from the body currently exposed, its body length is probably more than 1,500 kilometers.
Its body occupies a small area of the ocean.
"Hoooooooo!!"
Accompanied by high-pitched roars, perhaps unable to withstand the harassment of artillery fire, the huge monster's head swung, clearing the surrounding clouds and mist, and its true appearance appeared in front of everyone: it was a black and white head like a killer whale, but its whole body was It has a luster like glass, which can effectively reflect the lethality of psychic energy beams. On its back, the metal bone spurs are raised high, and the jagged crystals scattered on them shine with a dangerous cold light, as if they can emit psychic energy at any time. Beam counterattack.
The sea of fog is churning, and the entire planet's atmospheric structure is stirred. It can be seen that the atmosphere that originally enveloped the outside of the planet has been controlled by this monster, turning it into a sea of fog that is too dense and can reflect a large number of beam attacks, and it Just churning in this sea of fog, using the power of the stars to withstand the bombardment of an entire fleet.
"Extreme creatures..."
Kedar whispered to himself, his expression returned to calm: "Even if it is only in the transformation stage, its strength is beyond that of ordinary immortals - if I have no emotional power, no discipline, and just rely on my own strength to advance, I’m afraid I’m really no match for this monster.”
The realm of spiritual immortals only relies on spiritual energy to achieve physical and spiritual 'eternity'. The key point is eternal immortality. Even if you are killed, you can come back through spiritual sustenance. Combat power is not a standard of hard power. Ordinary immortals, face Against extreme life forms, one would indeed be at a disadvantage.
After all, it is a monster that has swallowed up most of the life in the ocean, and even the planet can be eaten as long as it is given time.
"Report, Commander, the refugees on the planet Minglida have been recovered - it has been determined that none of them are infected with the extreme virus!"
And just when the 'Ultimate Killer Whale' that controlled the planet's atmosphere was confronting the starship firepower that suppressed it, a tired but excited voice appeared in Kedar's mind. The voice of Faya, the leader of the Pioneer Fleet of the Brave Fleet and a member of the Atrium: "It has been confirmed that normal life no longer exists on the planet Minglida. The atmosphere is full of mutating extreme viruses, and rain and fog are the conductors of its spread!"
"Understood, you did a good job."
Nodding slightly, Kedar encouraged the other person. Then, he raised his head again and stared at the extreme killer whale.
It is true that extreme creatures are very strong, and if ordinary immortals confront each other rashly, their intelligence is likely to be swallowed up by the opponent - but is this enough to deal with an entire interstellar fleet composed entirely of people with emotional abilities
Absolutely impossible!
The opponent was not eliminated directly, just because the aftermath of destroying it would wipe out all possible survivors on the entire planet. Now, as the rescue team that broke into the planet successfully completed its mission, it was time to use all its strength to completely Eliminate the opponent.
"Disinfect, sterilize."
Taking a deep breath, which manifested itself in Qin Yaren's body, was opening his mouth. In an instant, Kedar used his spiritual energy to teleport a short distance to the outside of the flagship 'Fire'. He stood in the universe. In the vacuum, it seems as if the ground beneath your feet is the most solid.
Seeing the commander of their own fleet, the natural leader of those with Ring of Courage abilities, come to the battlefield in person, all fleets immediately stopped bombing the ultimate killer whales and turned their attention to Kedar. Even the ultimate killer whales, because of the enemy The attack temporarily stopped, and he raised his head slightly in surprise, staring into the dark vacuum.
Then, it saw a red flame slowly burning.
Kedar lowered his head and stared at the monster beneath him that had swallowed up almost all life on a planet and caused the complete destruction of the planet's ecosystem.
He recalled his hometown that was destroyed by Chaos, and heard the wails and cries of countless lives dying in pain.
War, haze, death, despair, all darkness is like gangrene attached to the bones, attached to the world of stars, gnawing at the flesh and blood of intelligent life and civilization.
But it is precisely because he has witnessed darkness and experienced despair, and precisely because Kedar has experienced it all personally, and it is unforgettable.
Therefore, anger is ignited and courage is born.
"Everyone—"
In the vacuum, Kedar raised his jointed limbs. He felt that all the power in his body was surging along with his spirit. The clear instructions spread throughout the army, as calm and firm as ever - but this time, everyone could hear this. The fire burning behind the calm.
"Lend me your strength!"
Then millions of soldiers, all angry and brave men, raised their hands and roared.
courage! belief! anger! All three in one!
On the limbs held high by Kedar, on the shining red ring, ripple-like red light began to appear out of thin air, burning everything, surpassing the temperature of the sun and being controlled by him, the overflowing emotional energy condensed into one after another The entities are swords, spears, axes, guns and cannons, huge interstellar battleships, and inconspicuous extraordinary weapons.
Since the birth of intelligent life, all entities related to weapons and destruction have gathered behind Kedar, and carried within it, the common force called 'destruction' has been drawn out, turning into a bright light above the old commander's head. Incomparable light group - this feels like a dazzling star suddenly appeared in the dark sky, composed of various weapons, and this star is not a virtual shadow, but is embodied by the power of emotion. Entity!
"Goo!"
On the planet Minlida, the ultimate killer whale, who was wondering what the enemies were doing, suddenly felt a chill. It screamed strangely, then turned its head and plunged into the depths of the earth's crust, as if it wanted to avoid this blow.
But it's no use.
"The unique skill taught by the God of Fire Hell in the Atrium, which is said to be a blow that can ignite a superstar!"
Holding his limbs high, Kedar felt the entire fleet. The power of all the people with emotional abilities were converging on his head, and finally condensed into a huge red light group hundreds of meters wide and extremely solid. In this light group, the world of the human world emerged. The phantom of all weapons was getting brighter little by little, until its brightness made it impossible to distinguish colors, lighting up half the galaxy.
Lurking behind the courage and anger, the power called madness and destruction surged, turned into a shining arc, and wrapped around the light group. Kedar shouted angrily: "Witness the wrath of the God of Hell and us! "
"Stoner Sunshine!"
Compared to the planet, the extremely tiny red light group was thrown heavily by Kedar, reaching its peak in an instant. It traveled through space at sub-light speed and disappeared into the star without even making any waves in the sea of fog.
But the next moment, with an earth-shattering roar and joy, the sea of fog formed by the condensed atmosphere of the entire planet was directly ignited by the high temperature that exceeded the core of the star, and turned into a raging sea of fire!
It can be seen that countless cracks like blood vessel scars have spread across the entire planet Minglida. Red light spreads and bursts from these cracks, turning into countless sword-like light beams and overflowing - millions of high-level emotional ability users. The condensed power turned into a fire of destruction, directly igniting and melting the entire planet. On the planet where the flames spread like wild horses, the mountain peaks were gradually melting and limp, and the oceans were directly evaporated and blown away.
There was no violent explosion or strong shock wave. In just a few minutes, the original living planet, which was completely infected by the plague, turned into a red-gold furnace planet. There was no more life on the planet. There are no mountains or oceans, only the same sea of fire.
As for the Extreme Killer Whale, it was natural that it had already been wailing and turning into nothingness under the bombardment of the emotional power version of the blazing sun.
“…”
Kedar stared silently at the melting planet beneath him, with no expression on his face.
According to the original instructions of the Guardian Alliance, he should use the Star Destroyer Fire to destroy the entire planet Minlida and cut off the possibility of plague infection. However, after his judgment, just crushing the planet cannot completely eliminate the people on the planet. All extreme viruses, so in order to prevent future troubles, he deliberately learned the stunts left by the God of the Atrium in the appendix of the encyclopedia. He claimed that after practicing to the extreme, he could actually create the 'blazing sun flash' of a star.
Of course, these are just temporary reasons made up so that he can reasonably take action personally to destroy the enemies of Chaos.
Only by listening to the enemy's wailing and personally witnessing the enemy dissipating into things under his own hands can the old commander, who has lost his hometown and heir, feel that the anger in his heart can become purer.
Of course it is not dissipated - before Chaos is completely eliminated, the warrior's anger will only grow stronger. As a father, husband and the expectations of the people of his hometown, Kedar as a life will never dissipate so easily.
“… set sail.”
In a flash, Kedar returned to the flagship bridge again. He turned around, turned his back to all the fleet staff who looked at him with reverence, and whispered an order: "Let's set off to the next target."
But there was silence on the bridge.
"What's wrong? I said, let's go to the next target—the alliance should have given us a mission, right?"
Sensing something was wrong, Kedar turned his head suspiciously and looked at the messengers who were supposed to respond. He wondered if the alliance had suddenly become kind and had no intention of spinning the fleet around - but unfortunately, it was not the case.
At this time, he could see his subordinates looking shocked.
"commander!"
Because they are all holders of the power of courage, even if they are shocked, they will not falter out of timidity. A communications staff member was the first to come back to his senses, and then said with great seriousness: "Look, I'm afraid We have no next mission!"
Kedar took a step forward. His compound eyes could clearly see all the details of the light curtain in front of the communications soldier - it was a local star field map, divided into sixty-seven cells. Each cell had several star systems. Generally, For example, if there is chaos or unexpected conditions, the graphics representing the community will light up red, otherwise it will light up blue.
In this large star field, there were not many red areas originally. Even if there were, they were recently wiped out by the Blazing Brave Fleet, but now, Kedar discovered it.
The star sector map in front of me is all red!
"Alliance warning - the plague is spreading on a large scale!"
"Attention all frontline fleets! It has been determined that the Ultimate Plague is closely related to the Chaos Evil God. The probability of the Ultimate Virus being generated will be higher in places close to the Chaos Familia!"
"All frontline fleets retreat! Stick to the nearest high-level stellar base!"
Continuous warning communications came in, occupying most of the screen. In just a blink of an eye, all the surrounding planets and galaxies fell. The only blue area was the point where the Brave Fleet was located - in an instant, they were isolated and helpless!
"Is this a conspiracy of the evil god?!"
Even Kedar couldn't help but be shocked - if every living planet in these fallen star fields can breed an extreme creature, then they may be the ones who are wiped out in the end!
No, it’s not just them, if the entire star world is like this, then the alliance is simply in danger!
But it's clear that things are worse than they were.
Just when Kedar informed the entire fleet that they were preparing to set off as soon as possible, break through the red plague-infected area, and temporarily return to the star base behind to wait for follow-up instructions, suddenly, he felt an inexplicable fluctuation.
The ring of courage worn on the limbs suddenly became red and bright, emitting a clear and transparent brilliance.
—The realm of psychic energy, where the network of psychic energy gathers, where the Rings of the Four Gods are located.
In the four raging emotional flames, four completely different rune rings are rising and falling in the flames, interacting with the great source of infinite divine power. This process seems to last until all intelligent life in the world of stars dies.
However, this emotional fire that seemed to last forever suddenly became strong, as if it had been stimulated and turned from sleeping to active - then they began to fight back, releasing invisible waves and sweeping across the galaxy!
And as the four major emotional rings spread this invisible wave with all individuals who have awakened the power of emotion as nodes, the weak wave that was originally extremely hidden, silent and invisible, passing quietly in the world of stars, was suddenly disturbed. Interrupted, and lost the constant induction of this wave, at that moment, all the extreme viruses that were spreading and condensing out of thin air suddenly interrupted downloading like a network that had lost its signal, and collapsed into a meaningless condensation. things.
Kedar could sense that with the Ring of Courage he held as the core, invisible fluctuations were being transmitted in all directions. Wherever he passed, the vague and uncomfortable feeling was all dissipated, making people feel at the spiritual level. Much more relaxed.
"This is… "
As the only ring holder of the Ring of Courage today, Kedar was slightly moved. He could sense that this fluctuation was not the action of the Ring of Courage itself, but was caused by the guidance of another strong person, and the name of that strong person did not need to be repeated. Said, it can only be that adult.
The one who gave him the power of revenge and restored his courage.
If he felt something, the old commander raised his head and looked into the empty vacuum of the universe. At this moment, on the dark curtain of the universe, a bright star lit up for an instant.
At this moment, with the help of the triple curtain.
Joshua Van Radcliffe left the world of stars and came to the void outside the world of stars, which had been silent for nearly 80 million years.
