Soul of Searing Steel

Chapter 995: Reasons to fight

"Firefly, Rin, I plan to cooperate with the Northland dwarves to restart the divine machine production line."

A few years ago, at Jetrum Void Base, the Shenji siblings came through the star gate and reunited with their master. After experiencing the initial joy of being reunited, they heard Joshua say in a firm tone: "I think , in this era of approaching crisis, Mycroft should not only rely on the legacy of the Glorious Era. Some technologies from other worlds or existing technologies must also be developed - otherwise, if the Glorious Civilization fails, we will also fail. "

"The Divine Machine is not an extremely advanced technology similar to the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Site, but it is a very ingenious and very sophisticated design. It can be said that it was the explosion of wisdom of the entire group of Kallis people at that time, and it was also used by The best result of several races of Mycroft joining forces to localize technology. I think if the divine machine can be mass-produced and popularized, the strength of most people in the Mycroft world may make a leap, just like the original I am like that."

When he said this, Joshua looked a little regretful. He stood in the hall of the central control room of the Dreadnought-class battleship, stared into the void outside the bridge, and said gently: "I should have started doing this earlier. But along the way, I encountered so many things that needed to be done, so the plan was always postponed... not now."

Firefly remembers it very clearly. She still remembered how she felt at that time.

-At first, when I heard these words, the emotion that emerged in my heart was sadness.

Jealousy? How could it be, it's not this kind of feeling...that unique identity is going to be taken away and occupied? It’s not that superficial…

At that time, Shenji couldn't figure out the feelings in her heart, but now, after thinking about it carefully, she found that those feelings were a mixture of sadness and joy for the master, "My own weapons are so strong", and the previous Reluctance to be ignored—in general, a sigh for something too powerful.

Rin remembers it very clearly. He still remembered how he felt at that time.

-what. I'm just your weapon... Why do you need to say so much

At that time, Shenji just wanted to spread his hands and make a helpless expression. Because his master is so powerful, wise and talented, if he thinks it is good, then it is naturally good. As a divine machine, what can he say? Say no

—I will only agree with you and fulfill your will. Even if you are so powerful that you don’t need to look down on all living beings on the earth, I will still serve you faithfully on this earth that you have probably forgotten.

Between the sky and the earth, the wind was howling, with the wind speed exceeding 200 kilometers per hour, mixed with hail and dazzling lightning, falling from the sky like countless swords, guns and axes. In the dark cloudy sky, the brilliance of the rune array from the other world could be vaguely flashed.

At this moment, on the Hailong City embankment, a fat middle-aged man and his wife had entered the mana engine control room of the embankment before the more violent weather impact arrived. It seemed that the entire house was about to be torn apart. The window glass that had been reinforced for several layers was shaken and was about to be torn apart in the next second. The man entered the secret key with probably the fastest hand speed in his life to determine the situation of the entire magic energy station and made a decisive decision. Turn off most of its functions, and the woman who also works here is also doing the same thing. The two of them join forces in a tacit understanding, just like dancing a waltz together at a ball in the early years.

"Phew... finally done!"

After doing all this, the middle-aged man let out a long breath. He almost slumped on the console and did not want to move: "In this way, the impact of the sea tide on the dam will be minimized, and there is no need to worry about the dam breaking... As long as the waves do not exceed the limit, Hailong City will be safe."

On the side, the woman really couldn't move... After running all the way from the city, moving in the wind and rain, avoiding possible threats from monsters, and finally performing an extreme operation in the control room... The tired woman rolled her eyes and looked into the still darkness. The canopy—wrong.

It can be seen that two shining azure lights broke through the dark curtains and illuminated the dim clouds. The light called order swept away the previously oppressive atmosphere, causing the middle-aged men and women who stared at this scene with their eyes wide open to breathe suddenly. A smooth, calm mind.

The azure light strip dragged the long tail flame, flying like a shooting star.

The memory comes back to the past.

"I really look forward to you being able to learn everything I teach and become someone like me... I hope so, not just Mycroft, but all individuals in the multiverse who yearn for order."

That was what the master said not long ago before leaving the Jetrum star field and heading to the star world.

Joshua was in the void at the time. He was in human form, with his back to his gods, looking at the infinite stars and darkness. You could hear his slightly arrogant laughter: "Haha, I'm not humble, I know. , this requirement is a bit too difficult - after all, not to mention that everyone is like me, even if there are so 1,800 'Joshuas' in this multi-dimensional galaxy, I really don't think the invasion of evil gods is a problem."

"It's a pity that it doesn't happen, so I can only settle for the next best thing."

-Yes. The master's words are not wrong at all... If there are eighteen hundred masters like this in this world, then what else in this world can stump them

If they didn't challenge each other to a fight, there certainly wouldn't be one.

The rapid speed of more than three thousand meters per second turned the atmosphere into a steel-like barrier, but the two cyan rays of light broke through them easily, just like meteorites falling from the sky, carrying rapid heat, and the remaining waves evaporated The icy sea brought an extremely conspicuous slash mark on the rough sea level.

Above the sea, there are long clouds and mist, like polar wind and frost mixed with thunder and lightning, which converge into ice and thunder, attacking like artillery fire, covering the sky and covering the earth, like a rain composed of ice and thunder.

But with the extremely powerful sword energy and ax light leaping out from the azure light, all the incoming attacks were cut down. This seemingly huge attack did not even hurt them at all.

Memories from the past surface.

"But here comes the problem - my gods."

The humanoid warrior turned his head. Under that body, there was a manifestation of something greater coming to the world. He touched the heads of the two siblings and said in a soft tone: "You want to be like me?" Does it exist?"

"Do everything you can to burn your life and soul... Even if it's just a little bit, do you really want to catch up with me?"

At that time, Hotaru stared into his master's eyes.

At that time, Rin stared into his master's eyes.

I…

I…

"Buzz-buzz!!!"

An overly heavy and long humming sound sounded in the depths of the sea. Finding that none of his previous attacks were effective, the extreme evolutionary body began to become angry. He could see that the sea in the distance, which had been frozen into Iceland, was broken, shaking, and... The ten-kilometer-long ice sheet was rising and falling in the surging ocean tide, and the magical tide that was enough to shake the heaven and earth, time and space, and engulf the sky and sea together erupted from the depths of the sea floor, covering all sea areas within a radius of hundreds of miles.

Obviously, the surrounding area of Hailong City is a subtropical area, which is usually extremely warm. However, now it is as cold and dry as the northernmost sea. You can even hear the sound of different gases in the air starting to freeze and change into liquids. .

It can be seen that a huge whirlpool appeared in the center of the ice sea. The ice mist at minus 200 degrees began to spread, and in the center of the whirlpool was a giant snail as high as thirty stories high. It broke through The mist opened and appeared between the sea and the sky. Sky-blue magic crystals were like eyes, covering every part of its shell.

The moment it appeared, all the surrounding magic was dominated by it, and all elements except water and ice were expelled. The strong wind, ice tide, and the suffocating extreme cold were approaching, and they all turned into something far beyond the extreme. The terrifying magic power impact of dozens of times of the Italian-level magic 'Frost Erosion Sky', in the most direct manner, pressed towards the two azure figures, who were extremely small in comparison.

-The answer is, of course, I think.

I think.

It's been a long, long time since I fought with you, Master - Hotaru said at that time.

I was once disappointed because I couldn't fight with my master - Rin said at the time.

—No, I am also disappointed now. I am still looking forward to it.

Therefore, we have been practicing and working hard... maybe there is no result, and occasionally we will be discouraged and give up on ourselves, but that is only temporary. In a place invisible to everyone, we are always working hard... so as not to be Leave behind.

only. Maybe it's because I'm very stupid and not very smart... I can't always catch up, and then I can't catch up anymore.

"Master, you only need to think to get the answer, and you only need to work hard to get results. This is the highest talent in the world. They all like to say that you don't like to think and always act impulsively, but since you already know all the options, the final What will be the result, then why should we think about it instead of choosing the most appropriate method and start taking action directly?”

We know this very clearly.

It's always been clear.

Facing the oppressive tide of frost, the two streams of light just let out a few inaudible laughter, as clear and crisp as a wind chime being blown. At this moment, one can clearly see that under the blue brilliance of the day Below, there was a silver line dancing gracefully in the freezing storm, and a hazy black spot quickly shuttled between the huge waves of the glacier. They easily dodged most of the attacks from extreme creatures, and then transformed into Two arcs were made, merged together, and then brought a storm called light in this dark sky and earth.

The sword and ax intersect, and the dazzling flash creates high heat. The light it creates briefly illuminates the surroundings. 'Shocking' and 'cutting', two completely different but similar things in essence, actually create something at the moment they touch each other. Using a power far greater than their own, some tiny material particles were torn apart. The nuclear fission-like reaction did not induce a chain of explosions, but was stably controlled and turned into a blazing light blade. Heading towards the tide of frost.

The ice wave was very huge, and there were many icebergs hundreds of meters high that were thrown up by the huge waves, carrying impact with speeds of more than 200 meters per second. Because of this huge size, when the light blade of the sword and ax merged through it, In an instant, it was not torn apart immediately, but a regular-shaped hole was punched out. The extremely high heat spread around the hole, instantly vaporizing the iceberg.

—The body size does not need to be larger than the enemy, and the energy does not need to be more than the enemy. It only needs to be more concentrated, more condensed, and more pure.

Facing a 'powerful enemy', if 'myself who is neither strong nor weak' wants to defeat the opponent, the fastest way is not to grow faster than the opponent, but to gather the strength that one already has to defeat the enemy. The weakest point.

In an instant, the torrent of ice was penetrated by the light blade, and electric arcs danced around it, circling like dragons and snakes, bringing the smell of ionized air in the atmosphere. It dexterously moved around. Turning back in the atmosphere, avoiding the lightning strikes controlled by the extreme shell, the freezing of ice, and even the purest magic restraint - everything was dodged and cut, and soon, it was only a few hours after birth, and it had just passed through a new life. After his death, the extreme creature that had received some battle memories from its inheritance was stunned by this elegant battle dance. For a moment, it lost its observation of the light blade.

There is no doubt that this is the prelude to death.

Because the light of the sword and ax has come together.

The last fragment of memory flashed.

"Stupid is just slow, but it doesn't mean you can't do it. Firefly and Rin, after all, you are artificial intelligence, made from my bones and derived from my blood. You were created, with the original intention, just to be the brain and soul of me. An external power stabilizer ensures that I can withstand the extra power brought by the divine machine - so if my soul, my brain, and even my flesh and blood body can withstand that power, your role will be very small."

When hearing these words, the gods fell into unspeakable silence. The two siblings lowered their heads, not daring to look directly into their master's eyes.

But a big hand that couldn't tell whether it was warm or cold held their hands.

"But what does that matter?"

Joshua's laughter can be heard: "You are my family."

"With me here, if you don't want to fight, no one can ever force you to fight. But if you want to fight, then I will do my best to teach you and tell you everything about me. There will be nothing hidden. .”

"Listen up, Hotaru and Rin."

I can feel that there is a powerful force being transmitted through the clenched hands... It is not a forced promotion, but it is given some essence... It is a design, a picture, a system that can reach the future... .

"It's not a problem at all if you are stupid. It's not a problem at all if you don't know how to fight independently. I am a strong man. I have ten thousand ways to solve these problems that trouble you."

In his eyes, dense data began to appear, and pages and tables began to appear one after another. These data swept like a storm, and finally lurked in the deepest part of the soul... The system, the real system, is no longer what it originally was. After eating it, it needs to be combined with the physical body to function. It is a scanned beta version, but it is already mature and can even be said to be a complete system.

"This thing is not something very powerful in nature. It is a net that teaches people how to fish. Don't be short-sighted and regard it as a 'fish' that simply improves strength. It allows you to think and you will get answers, and if you work hard, you will get answers. The results allow you to see the progress bar growing slowly but surely when you are suffering - the system is such a simple thing, it can be a plug-in or a tool for recording growth."

"Take it and be me... No, don't be me."

The hand left, and the voice gradually faded away, but those last words still remained in the hearts of the gods.

“Be who you want to be.”

The sound of broken carapace resounded throughout the world. The ice wind that had swept across the seas stopped in an instant. The rough seas no longer had any follow-up power. Even the lightning in the dark clouds suddenly disappeared. All dissipated.

It can be seen that a stream of light is like an extremely obvious straight line in the night sky. At the most appropriate time and with the most powerful momentum, it attacks the enemy's most vulnerable position - it targets the part of the ultimate snail that is not wrapped by the carapace. A part of it was then submerged directly into it at more than fifty times the speed of sound. The impact of the package, coupled with the extremely terrifying energy fluctuations of the light blade itself, immediately shattered part of the fragile carapace of the shell.

Then, there was an explosion.

Rumble--The impact of high heat evaporated the seawater, causing the bowl-shaped water vapor cloud to expand to nearly a thousand meters high in one second. And the next moment, it exploded, and the sky was filled with purple-blue blood and turned into an icy hue. , a blue-purple mushroom cloud slowly rose, and then shot straight into the sky above four thousand meters!

boom! !

It could be seen that there was a second explosion in the mushroom cloud. In the extremely rich magic cloud, there were two spiral-like streams of silver-black light, chasing an ice-blue core. They caught up with it. Or, and then attack fiercely.

In the troposphere, a magnificent two-color circular shock wave spread, tearing apart the dark clouds and allowing sunlight to return to the earth.

In the center of the ring shock wave, on the top of the mushroom cloud, the two gods and machines in azure armor were suspended in the sky. The silver-haired girl turned the giant sword in her hand into energy particles and dissipated, while the black-haired boy turned the giant ax in his hand into an energy particle. Make a shadow.

The two raised their heads and looked up at the sky. They could see that there were many deep wounds on their armors... The skill of using swords and axes to trigger long-term fission bursts, with the help of armors, they had the ultimate strength. It is a bit too dangerous skill, but after this battle, they will surely be able to grasp their own path more accurately, and then slowly become stronger on their own path.

"Mortals, or in other words, ordinary things, if they want to catch up with a born outstanding hero, they will probably look like you and me..."

Taking back her weapon, Yingying couldn't help but sigh, and whispered to herself: "But how can you give up? If you continue to move forward, even if the distance is getting farther and farther, it is at least a 'chasing', but if you give up, even if it is just It was just a short while, but it was just being 'left behind'."

"cold!"

She was sentimental for just a moment. Soon, Yingying returned to her previous decisive appearance. Miss Shenji, who didn't even know common sense in the past, has now become a warrior who can stand alone. She whispered: "Our mission is completed, Hei Na How is Bian doing?"

"It's okay. Her side is full of simple disease creatures that have been eliminated by her long ago. Now Hei is patrolling around Xishan. If extreme creatures are found, other strong people will be notified to support them. We don't need to worry."

Rin kept in touch with other friendly units at all times. After a slight pause, he continued: "The transfer of Mycroft's world is in good condition. With the support of the governing will of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice and Nostradamus, all teleportation The doors are all stable. Now more than 90% of the women and children have entered the shelter world, leaving only the war workers and some staff who want to stay."

"Don't worry, my acquaintances in Moldavia, Xiaoguang's body will take care of them."

Hearing this, Yingying breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay... That's good."

After saying this, she couldn't help but raise her head and look at the sky.

Looking at a possible location in distant space and time,

—This time, in your absence, we can fulfill our responsibilities and fight for ourselves and the world.

Even if it's just a little bit... catch up with you.

That's why we fight.

Asking for a monthly ticket

As I said... I want to write down all the plots of the supporting characters before finishing this time... I kept deleting them over and over before...
