Soul of Searing Steel

Chapter 987: 7600 for both plans

Views:

On this road where the initial fire and the great demonic tide coexisted, Joshua saw thousands of corpses of strong men along the way.

The strong man represented by each corpse has enough power to support a civilization by one person, and this seemingly large number of corpses is only a small part of what Joshua can see on the path he travels... I'm afraid, there are none. People can know how many people have passed through this place on this path of demonic tide, and how many people have died here.

"Their purpose... should be the same as that of the sages and demon sages. They want to chase the glory of the primordial fire. They must also be aware that there must be some deeper secret behind the evil god's weird action pattern."

Joshua did not stop at the corpses of these powerful men. At most, he would stop and observe when he encountered some corpses with strange body structures that the warriors thought were very beneficial to him. Stroking the shell of a large fungus that looked like a shepherd, Joshua looked solemn: "Of course, it is also possible that they want to explore the source of the great demonic tide, at least Barnier and Barbarossa. People have said more than once that they want to explore the origin of the demonic tide."

"But it's strange... why are there no traces at all? That giant luminous cocoon should have followed this path!"

After repeated testing, no abnormalities were found. Joshua was certain that this white torrent of demonic tide might be the only way to explore the origin of the initial fire and the demonic tide. Both he and the giant cocoon of light should be taking the same path - but he was not there. Something similar to an extreme virus was seen on these corpses.

Joshua did not damage or destroy the corpses of these powerful aliens because of his personal moral cultivation. He felt that they were also part of the pursuit of the truth of the multiverse. These people deserved his respect. Even if they died, at least they would be worthy of his respect. Let the other party's body rest in peace.

But this kind of idea must be relatively rare. People with a little more pragmatism, even if they don't destroy, will at least try to use these as a reference. Even just a part can decipher a large number of powerful people with extraordinary inheritance. The corpses were recovered... As for the giant glowing cocoon, this evil existence that maliciously invaded the world of stars and unscrupulously spread filthy things like extreme viruses upstream and downstream, Joshua couldn't think of any reason why it shouldn't use and recycle them. Holding the body.

"Maybe... it's not necessary."

After getting an answer that was not an answer, Joshua temporarily ended his thinking in this regard: "After all, with the power of that giant cocoon, I am afraid that only evil god-level beings are worthy of collecting it. These powerful people Although the corpse is strong, it is dead after all, and has lost most of its value and technical reference."

So, what is its purpose

The answer to this question is quite easy to understand.

Joshua thought about it for a while - what if he spent a long time and walked along the path of the demonic tide for a long time, and finally arrived at a place where almost no one had ever reached before, and as he continued to move towards the initial fire and When the source of the demon tide was traveling, I suddenly saw an extremely huge world along the way!

So, whether it is for material replenishment or curiosity, anyone will try to enter this world, right? There might be clues to the primordial fire, or some other precious thing.

maybe.

Sometimes, thinking doesn't need to be so complicated. The answer to the question may be very simple 'curiosity'.

"But this is not the reason why it maliciously controls the Chaos Familia and destroys many civilizations."

Taking a deep breath, Joshua's incarnation stood on the spot, like a solid reef, cutting through the surging demonic tide of light. He began to think about the next plan: "What if that giant luminous cocoon plans to If you stay outside the world of stars for a long time, and continue to plan to invade the world of stars."

"I'm afraid, that's all I can do."

Starfall 848, March 24, Mycroft World, Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground, Stargate Void Base.

Inside the Holy Mountain Battleship of the Church of the Seven Gods, in a quiet room with simple decoration.

The adopted son of the Pope of the Seven Gods, the new legendary paladin Loranda opened his spiritual terminal and received an urgent report from the multi-dimensional galaxy Mycroft's appearance and colonies.

"Is it a direct communication from the Archbishop of the frontline alien galaxy colony?"

Wearing pale white armor with cyan light and a full-coverage helmet placed on the table nearby, the blond knight noticed the signature above the report and raised his brows slightly.

Due to being promoted to Legend, his face is no different from when he was young. However, compared with the pure and enthusiastic and even naive Paladin of the past, Loranda's eyes are deep and his expression is much calmer at this time. He is already quite handsome. His adoptive father Eagle had an expression of emotion and anger, and his whole body revealed a majestic aura that would make those with evil thoughts tremble. However, after carefully reading the contents of the report, the previously peaceful paladin's expression changed. Suddenly he became serious.

"Plague... sudden infection... this thing is really difficult to solve."

After reading the report, Loranda frowned and walked in her room.

The content of the report is very simple. In Mycrov colony, an alien planet closest to the Bloody Battle Galaxy, missionaries from the Church of the Seven Gods observed phenomena that may be signs of an extraordinary plague. All details are consistent with the results of previous observations.

"According to Joshua's last communication, this kind of plague is also spreading in the world of stars where he is now. At present, it seems that this should be a plague that spreads widely on the scale of multiple galaxies - damn, the creator of this plague , what exactly do you want to do?”

Stopping at his desk, he picked up the helmet and put it on. Loranda opened the door and went to the core center of the Holy Mountain Fortress. As he walked, he was still confused: "Even if it is an evil god, this kind of infection will always be against It’s kind of good, right?!”

Through a special repaired light pillar located in Moldavia, Joshua can briefly interact with the Mycrof continent. It is through it that Joshua can simply transmit the wave of emotional power to everyone. Repair the light beam.

The last time Joshua and Mycroft communicated, it was about the Extreme Virus - both parties had foreseen the horror of this extraordinary plague, and tried to prevent it and eliminate the possibility of its emergence through various means, and in Joshua After Ya determined that the source of its emergence was some kind of wave released by the giant cocoon of light, he used his own wave to interfere with the other party, so that the extreme virus could not suddenly emerge around Mycroft's homeland.

However, this does not prevent the already formed virus from infecting entities in the void.

Just like what the report said - the extreme plague has appeared around the Mycroft colony. If there are no accidents, these isolated overseas colonies will soon usher in large-scale epidemic prevention work, and even fight against extreme creatures. Fighting.

The most likely possibility is to abandon it. Although it is very helpless, when no effective vaccine has been developed, this is the only option.

"His Majesty the Pope."

There are not many people in the central control room of the Holy Mountain Fortress. Most of the elites of the church have gone to the multi-dimensional galaxy to carry out related missionary work, cultural popularization, and stabilization of otherworldly temples to facilitate the arrival of the Seven Gods at any time. They stayed in Michaelo Mycroft's local people are usually old priests who are powerful and experienced but lack energy, as well as extraordinary strong men who are powerful enough to ensure the safety of Mycroft's local area.

Pope Eagle of the Church of the Seven Gods is a very typical example.

"I know, I've already read the report."

Hearing the voice of his adopted son, an incarnation of light staying at the Holy Mountain Fortress opened his eyes, revealing two white-gold pupils that looked like flames, making the somewhat dark central hall brighter. Looking sideways at Loranda, who bowed her head in salute, Eagle said calmly: "Bishop Anmir discovered that the extreme plague is spreading in the Chalier Void Federation. We warned each other, but they were not taken seriously... These people They are more afraid that our presence will affect their rights than the plague, so they have been hesitant and unable to make a decision."

"... The powerful people in the world have always been like this. They have never seen greater disasters."

Raising her head, Loranda said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, how should we deal with it? Mycroft has been protected by the Seven Gods and Radcliffe using their power, and there will not be a sudden surge of plague, but what if The plague spreads along the transmission network and star gate, so even divine power will have a hard time detecting this hidden virus!"

There was another sentence that the Paladin did not say, but he believed that his adoptive father understood what he meant.

-Behind the spread of this inexplicable virus, there are definitely other purposes. It is just a by-product of simply killing people. The existence of creating this weird and extraordinary plague. As long as it is true as Joshua said and is not the evil god, then it will The real purpose is definitely not simple 'destruction'.

"Don't worry, we are already prepared."

The white-gold pupils of the old pope turned slightly, as if they were connecting with the body in the distance. The ray of light said calmly: "We have already prepared stable but passive plans, dangerous but eradable plans."

"So, which one do we choose?"

Although Loranda didn't understand what exactly the plan Eagle was talking about, she still subconsciously answered: "A stable plan?"

"Of course not. In ordinary civilization, you may still need to choose."

Shrugging his shoulders, the old pope smiled. He spread his hands rather humorously and said to his adopted son: "But if it's us - we want them all."

After finishing the joke, Eagle's expression returned to calm. He looked at his adopted son and knight who lowered their heads again, waiting for orders, and said in a deep voice: "Go, Loranda, go to Moldavia, there There is a temporary headquarters of the Northern Empire's "External Exploration Department" stationed there. I am sending you and your knights there to help Radcliffe's disciples complete the "stable" exercise called "Comprehensive Transfer Exercise" plan."

"As for me and other legendary powerhouses... we will complete that 'dangerous' plan."

Saying this, the humanoid incarnation of the light closed its eyes, proving that all the power of its body had been diverted away, and it was only briefly paying attention to the surroundings. After confirming this, Loranda raised his head, and his silent gaze was no longer there. The old pope of words then replied seriously.

"yes!"

Zhalier Void Federation, the First Frontier Farming World.

This is a common small continental world. The elemental plane of light and fire is attached to the outside of the world and rotates, becoming the sun of this supercontinent with a surface area of more than 1.7 billion square kilometers. It has a harmonious climate, rich vegetation, and an extremely wide variety of life types. and fertile land.

The Chalil Void Federation is a multi-racial federation with a total of seven member states of different races. Even so, under more than seven hundred years of joint rule and related genetic modifications, there has been basically no racial conflict and reproduction. Separated, the seven races were completely integrated into the new Chaliel people.

The First Frontier Farming World is a world discovered by the Charlier Alliance three hundred years ago. Its climate is particularly suitable for large-scale agricultural trade operations. It is also surprisingly free of any overly powerful intelligent lifeforms and indigenous monsters, so Charlie The Leer people colonized this world almost effortlessly and transformed it into an agricultural base capable of supplying 34% of the food consumption of the entire Commonwealth.

Here, there are more than 370 million professional farmers engaged in industrial farming and breeding, and there are 49 million workers responsible for processing agricultural and sideline products. Although the entire world is vast and sparsely populated, it is not difficult because of the magical assistance. It seems busy, and the rice fields and pastoral areas all over the mountains are refreshing. The ocean is also full of carefully raised edible fish and their corresponding ecological chains. It can be said that there is delicious food everywhere.

Because of this, the First Farming World has specially opened up a coastline and operates it as a high-end luxury resort. Every Chalier person has the biggest goal in life to vacation here.

But now, the world that should have been a paradise and made people feel peaceful, now seemed extremely silent.

"At the beginning, more than a dozen farmers on the edge of the southern continent mysteriously disappeared."

"Then the herbivorous dragons in the pasture disappeared in large numbers. It was like they evaporated out of thin air, and the bones were not even visible."

"Then people in the pasture sent out a distress signal, but when the rescuers arrived, they found nothing. The entire agricultural base was empty. There were no signs of fighting or blood."

"Soon, the rescuers also disappeared - Charlier's senior officials felt strange and sent professional extraordinary people to take a look at the situation."

"But before the extraordinary ones arrived, all residents in the entire southern continent were completely disconnected within two days, and more than 50 million people were completely invisible."

"Farmers in other parts of the continent began to panic and wanted to leave, but they were stopped by the martial law transcendents who arrived - they had discovered that this might be related to the extreme plague, so they sealed off the world."

"A great magician of the highest level went to observe the situation. He disappeared three hours later and there was no time to send back any news."

"The Charlier government blocked the world and completely ignored the riots of more than 300 million local farmers... After all, most of these people are locals. As long as the news is blocked, other colonies will not know about it, and naturally there will be no panic... But even if Even the Chalir government could not have imagined that more than 300 million people would completely disappear in just one week, as if they had never existed."

"The friendly assistance we proposed before was rejected because the disappearance was not like a plague, but rather like a civil strife such as rebellion. However, after detecting that there was indeed a high concentration of extreme viruses in the atmosphere of the world, Charlie The ambassador knelt down and begged us to intervene... Well, if we had figured it out earlier, people in the whole world would not have died in vain... That's close to 400 million people."

In the first agricultural trade world, in an agricultural base in the Southern Continent, the natural mentor Eydelil Galanod and the fishman high priest Godar were walking in the fields. The towering rice stalks almost obscured the two of them, one elf and one fish. The man looked around the green farmland of the alien world with a rather regretful look on his face: "Can you hear me? Eagle? This should be the source of the extreme virus in the entire Charlie Void Union. You have already cleaned up the viruses in other places. Alright?"

"Cleaned up."

From a small instrument next to Garan Nord's ear, the gentle voice of the old pope came: "However, the scope of infection of this extreme virus is too wide. It is as pervasive as the great demonic tide. It is not only the detection of Here in Li'er United, there are also signs of plague in several other indigenous civilizations that have not reached the void... If we hadn't come to clear them out, these civilizations would probably have been wiped out."

"Our mission went very smoothly, and the local civilization was very cooperative. There were no abnormal conditions. So Galan Nord and Godar, you continue to perform the 'capture' mission, but you must be careful. The terror of extreme creatures sometimes exceeds common sense. "

"clear."

The natural teacher was naturally not a rookie on his first mission. It was just that after many years, he was on a mission again in a different world among multiple galaxies. This made Garan Nord feel a little emotional. After turning off the communication with the old pope, she Turning around, he complained to Godard: "I really don't understand...Normal viruses and bacteria that have truly evolved successfully will not deliberately kill their hosts. The higher the intensity of the virus, the easier it is to be completely destroyed because it cannot spread." Extinction.”

"Gululu... Extreme virus is not a normal virus. In fact, it is hard to say whether it is a virus or not. It is just our superficial biological knowledge that we can only define it as a virus."

On the other side, the fishman high priest said vaguely. He shook his head with a heavy expression: "Gulu, let me declare in advance that if anything goes wrong with the plan, I will immediately abandon you and run away. You are not a fishman. I I won’t try my best to save you.”

"I didn't expect it." The natural teacher raised his eyebrows and said naturally: "But before that, you still have to assist me."

The murloc tribe and the humans in the far south and eastern plains have had a feud for generations. If not for the disaster of the mad dragon, the murloc tribe would probably have gone to war with the two major races of humans and elves. Both Barbarossa and Faina had fought against Godard. There was a confrontation, and this rather hostile relationship did not ease until the era of great development came and the survival crisis of the fishmen disappeared.

But even so, Godard still has some difficulties with his old rivals. This can be seen from the attitude between Galan Nord and him. However, after all, both of them are veteran legendary powerhouses. Over the years, we have also witnessed many vast scenes of the multiverse. Both sides have looked away a lot from the hatred that was trapped in one world in the past, and they can even perform tasks together.

"No more nonsense - there is an entire world, more than 300 million people, tens of billions of livestock are missing or even dead. Godard, what do you think of this situation?"

When he spoke, the nature teacher had already arrived at an extremely empty pasture. The grass in the pasture was growing wildly and was almost several meters high. Standing in front of the overly lush pasture, the elf legend's pointed ears twitched slightly, and then he looked up to the sky.

It can be seen that the elemental sun is being obscured by gray-black rain clouds, a gloomy and hot atmosphere is spreading, and a tropical rainstorm is about to fall.

"How else can I watch it?"

Gazing at the rain clouds that were about to fall, Godard showed a comfortable smile and whispered: "Of course there is an 'extreme creature' in this world. In order to replenish its own nutrition, it ate everything in the world. animal."

"Then, tell me, where is this extreme creature hiding?"

Gradually, a hazy mist appeared around the pasture. It was a very clean, milky white mist, just like milk floating in the air. It floated out from the earth, grass and even every gap. If If someone could look down from the heights of the world, he would be surprised to find that this fog filled the entire agricultural world. Every corner of the continent was completely covered by white fog.

And these mists are all high concentrations of extreme viruses.

I could hear a rustling sound lingering in the mist, as if something was walking in the grass shrouded in virus mist.

Faced with such an abnormal situation, both of them remained calm and even showed relaxed expressions. Garanod raised her hand, and a branch-like staff appeared in her hand. The green light shone and drove away the fog. , the natural teacher continued to smile and asked in a low voice: "Why, this extreme creature eats humans and livestock, but it doesn't eat grass?"

"Do you even need to ask?"

The fish-man high priest took a deep breath. The appearance of the old-looking fish-man began to change rapidly. The iron-green skin became darker and brighter, almost like an extremely smooth black metal. It was made like a stone, and when the white mist touched his skin, it was swallowed and absorbed by the skin.

"Of course it is, it is grass to begin with - it is 'pasture' that has always been used as food by livestock!"

As soon as he said this, thunder thundered in the sky, and a heavy downpour instantly covered the entire world.

Then, lightning lit up, illuminating almost the entire First Farming World's hazy fog.

You can see that under the fog that envelopes the entire continent, there are "grass and trees" that are rolling in units of tens of thousands of kilometers! The entire agricultural world, whether it is forests or weeds, rice fields or wheat fields, seaweed or cacti, all plants, everything growing on the earth, are all entangled and tangled together by a dense, milky white root system. !

This milky white root system covers the entire continent. It is penetrating into the world bit by bit. You can see that the white root system is multiplying by eroding soil and rocks. It has 'digested' a small layer of the earth's crust, and finally The deep root system has been completely submerged into the core of the earth, feeding on the high-temperature magma: there is no doubt that, given time, this huge and weird root system will definitely be able to swallow the entire world, and then become an evil beast capable of wandering in the void!

And now, this evil beast has revealed its ferocious claws to the two strangers who invaded its territory - with an earth-shaking loud noise, the crust of the pasture where Galan Nord and Godard were located collapsed, and a ten-year-old mania was unfolding. The sudden onset of a second-level earthquake threw dust, mist and broken rocks into the air. In the tremors of the earth, more than a dozen giant claws with white roots that were more than ten kilometers long were carried away. It was like a materialized high-frequency vibrating magic field, releasing high temperatures and heat that surpassed the sun. It whipped towards the two of them like a mountain toppled, whip it down!

-If it were an ordinary transcendent, this blow would have millions of degrees, like a whip like a corona shock knife. Even if it couldn't kill them, it would at least be able to take the lead.

However, neither Galan Nord nor Godar are ordinary extraordinary beings.

"'Ultimate Pasture', if you can eat it, how many livestock can you feed?"

The voice of emotion sounded, and at the same time, in an instant, the dust, fog, clouds in the sky, and the white mist composed of the extreme virus were all broken through, and a majestic giant tree supported the sky and the earth, as if it was about to break through the world and burst into the void. The shadow suddenly appeared between heaven and earth.

boom! The giant tree fell and directly flattened the still shaking earth. Its roots spread and took root in the earth that had been invaded by white roots - along with the dark green power of nature, it released the aura of naked predatory of the weak. , forcibly strangled the white roots and tore them into pieces. The roots of the World Tree began to directly take root in this world in reverse direction, and began to directly compete with the white roots for the sovereignty of the earth.

However, that is just an appearance. The entanglement between the huge World Tree and the white roots is not a simple 'erosion' and 'competition for nutrients'. In fact, Garan Nord is interpreting the life information in the other party's body - a moment later, the natural teacher's The voice resounded throughout the world: "Its body is in the Southern Continent, directly below the 19th Herbivorous Dragon Ranch!"

"clear."

After hearing the instructions, a huge hole suddenly appeared in the mid-air in the milky white mist on the other side, accompanied by an explosion that even the strong wind was torn to pieces.

It can be seen that there is a black shadow flickering in it, and a pair of ferocious dragon wings grow out from the back of the fishman high priest. The ends of these dragon wings even have a rocket-like propulsion structure, which is undergoing an extremely violent elemental annihilation reaction. , the ultra-high-heat elemental jet accelerated his speed to 300,000 meters per second—this speed, in a world with an atmosphere, can already be called a world-class speed of destruction. The strong wind was behind the high priest. Formed, along with a path of high-heat lava fire spreading in a straight line, super tornadoes began to wreak havoc on the land. They tore the rain clouds into pieces and tore the white roots to pieces.

Soon, the black shadow arrived at the indicated destination, Herbivorous Dragon Ranch No. 19, an area that had been completely invaded by tangled white roots and turned into a nest.

boom! ! ! !

A black shadow flashed past. It was a rapid impact that was enough to dig out the earth's crust and even the mantle. At this moment, a perfect circular gap was blasted out of the earth, and at the end of the gap, there was an area close to the core of the earth. , is a huge white entangled body of roots that is trying to wrap around the core of the earth, like a heart.

"What a pity, the lucky little guy survived the extreme."

At this moment, Godard recalled the pain of being suppressed by his old opponent for decades, the embarrassment of being easily surpassed by a little guy who had practiced for more than ten years, and his envy and admiration for the colorful technologies and worlds of other civilizations in the void. Jealousy, the annoyance of being a combatant but always studying things like edible earthworms, and the joy of knowing that he can go out to perform missions after finally making a breakthrough after being in seclusion for a long time... and the nameless anger!

—I am the fishman high priest! Not some agricultural product researcher! I can do this for the sake of my race, but that doesn’t mean I have to farm there all the time!

Facing the hexagonal magic position that had begun to condense at the core of Extreme Forage, layered like a honeycomb, Godard's body changed slightly, and in an instant it transformed into a fighting form that was easiest to break through magic defense against mages. The fishman high priest, who had been holding back for more than ten years, finally had the opportunity to take action, showed a sinister smile full of shark teeth.

“Weeding, we are the professional counterpart!”
