Soul of Burning Steel

What is life?

Life is an open system. It eats, absorbs, and absorbs other negative entropy bodies, expels high entropy through metabolism, maintains its own low-entropy state, and maintains the order of its own system.

From this point of view, the definition of life is really very broad. Humans are undoubtedly life, and monsters are undoubtedly life. Elements, goblins, and even constructs can be regarded as life. Even the legendary powerhouse is just a general. His original life system was completely transformed into a more efficient and powerful existence.

So, can the world be regarded as life?

Every time Joshua thinks about the path he should take next, he will think about such a question-if the world in his body is really born in the future, then the "Joshua" as the body is wrapped in a body The super life of the world, or is he equal to that world? This situation has not yet been confirmed, and we can only take one step at a time, but as to whether the world itself can be regarded as life, Joshua thinks the answer is yes.

At least, under the multiverse system in which Mycroft’s world is located, the “world” that can draw energy from the void, maintain its order, and be able to grow, change, and evolve, is essentially a world beyond ordinary people’s imagination. The giant life, and it can even get the self-will through the complex system in the body, that is, the various information, energy and soul circulation generated by the civilized race society, that is, the steel python.

But there is a problem-since the world is life, then the world will eventually die, and its specific manifestation should be the end of the soul cycle, the destruction of civilization within the body, the demise of intelligent individuals, the cessation of the material cycle, and the complex matter and The energy structure collapses into simple, disordered elementary particles and elements. Until the end, the outer wall of the world will collapse, and the entire world will be turned into countless steel particles and seas of heat that slowly disappear in the void.

In that case, why was the "Cthulhu" born?

Located in the package of countless ‘chaotic magic power’, Joshua felt that she had seen a lot, countless flashes of light and shadow, which were preserved in the remains of the evil god, and contained information about the past tens of thousands or even years. In the past years, the Cthulhu ‘Abundance’ has destroyed countless worlds. In the world galaxy, the long void of the world, and even the Void Maelstrom, may only be traces of its ‘passing by’.

But why was it born? This makes no sense at all! People will have undead after death. That is because the soul itself is alive and can be independent of the organization outside the body. It can also absorb the free elements in the atmosphere and expel the waste soul structure in the body through energy exchange. The lifespan is even longer than that of the human body-the undead is not dead at all in essence, it is a peculiar, living life!

But what about Cthulhu? If the evil **** is the undead of the world, then it should be transformed from the steel python, but the existence of the steel python is based on the wisdom civilization, and the wisdom civilization is destroyed, there is no information flow and can maintain the existence of the steel python in the world. The reincarnation of the soul, the python of steel is different from the human soul. The world dies, it also dies. Order will be transformed into disorder. Everything will dissipate. It will never become an evil god. It can travel through the multiverse and destroy other worlds. , Infecting normal order, more like a product of a'virus' than the dead.

Joshua has studied the chaos for a long time, because Cthulhu is the real enemy in his heart, far more terrifying than the abyss and demons, but for various reasons, Joshua has never directly contacted the so-called ' Chaos', he is the result of indirect contact with the heretic god's projection, family and erosion-but now, he is around the heretic god's body.

Therefore, in the darkness like the depths of a 10,000-meter deep sea, Joshua stretched out his hand and touched the materialized surroundings, like the emptiness of ‘dark’.

If the universe is an independent closed system, the internal conversion and transfer of energy will inevitably lead to an increase in entropy.

Simply put, if the universe is a system with extremely uneven energy distribution at the beginning, then high-temperature objects will always transfer energy to low-temperature objects, and finally achieve a complete balance of energy. The result is that the macroscopic world is completely static. Orderly movement can't happen, everything turns into a constant death, a sea of ​​heat that is colder than death.

If we say that the emptiness before the birth of the multiverse is nothing, nothing, the'balance' created by'eternal stillness', just like the eternal and unchanging, disorderly yet balanced heat sea after heat death, Then the so-called initial fire is to force the information of'existence' into nothingness.

It disrupts the original balance, distinguishes high temperature and low temperature, distinguishes light and darkness, nature, and also distinguishes life and death.

High energy transfers energy to low energy. This is the beginning of movement and the source of the break of "eternal stillness" and the birth of everything in the world.

Now, what Joshua is doing is similar to the deeds of the initial fire illuminating the void and creating a multiverse.

He ignited his own'fire' so that all the chaos around him was not in the dark and disorderly, and became organized.

In the central black forest, the deepest part of the Spring of Chaos, Joshua stood indifferently in the center of the bottomless magical power of Chaos. Now, a group of silver flames was burning in his palm, and the flames were constantly emitting waves of substance. The stream of light illuminates the surrounding darkness.

No, maybe, it shouldn’t be said to shine, it should be eroded!

It can be seen that the flame in the center of Joshua’s palm releases an incomparably bright light. Once this light touches the chaotic magic power, it will quickly melt it into invisible - but if you look closely, you will find that the essence of this light is actually It is a group of tiny and incomparable steel power aggregates! These polymers emit light visible to the naked eye because of their high energy, which is the essence of light flow.

These steel power aggregates, which can only be observed through a nanometer microscope, are constantly eroding the chaotic magic around them, converting them into the energy they need, and then performing rapid self-replication. This process is completely It was an exponential growth. Soon, all the deep chaotic magic power around Joshua was eaten away by these particles of steel, which were constantly self-replicating and self-increasing, and disappeared completely!

If it is someone else who has been in contact with Chaos Magic Power, they will definitely be stunned to see this scene-you know, in the past, only the Chaos Magic power eroded orderly matter, how can there be the power of Order to swallow chaos in turn?

But Qiao Xiuya knew that this was nothing surprising. Since chaos and nothingness can be transformed into order, then order must also be able to swallow nothingness and chaos—otherwise where did the earliest world come from? At that time, there were no naturally occurring steel crystals and giant void beasts that could give birth to the embryonic form of the world. The so-called erosion is simply because the Chaos Demon's power is too great, which has suppressed the order.

As long as you are strong enough, you don’t have to worry about erosion.

In the silver giant cocoon, Joshua reconstructed his own thinking organs. He used the power of steel to construct arithmetic matrices in his body, control devices and storage facilities, and he used the divine soul network and the speed of light. Particles serve as a medium for information transmission, input and output. This is a supercomputer that completely surpasses human beings and the usual sense, and can provide incredible computing power.

And through this thinking system, the current Joshua can easily control a large number of nanometer or even atom-sized microscopic particles, and manipulate them to make different actions. Relying on fine to micro-level processing capabilities, the warrior has designed for himself a cluster of steel particles that is completely under his control and can self-reproduce and reproduce, which is the magical version of the "Von Neumann machine".

It can use the program designed by Joshua for it as an action template, continuously absorb the high-energy magic and matter around it, and then copy itself. In the design, it can even be dropped into a world completely invaded by chaotic magic, and then In the frenzied self-replication, all the chaotic forces are swallowed and transformed into an ordinary, inanimate world... If Joshua adds normal matter to its self-replication program, then even one is swallowed. The world is just a matter of spending a little more time.

The flame in the palm of Joshua’s palm is actually the factory that manufactures the “steel cluster”, and the light is the trajectory and channel of the “steel cluster”. The light shines through the darkness, which means that the surrounding chaotic magic has been completely swallowed. Everything is controlled in Joshua's hands, swallowed and eroded by his strength of steel! Occupied by complete order!

This is Joshua’s contemplation, the weapon made against the world-class chaos, which belongs to his ‘light of order’!

"The concentration of chaotic magic power has dropped drastically, and the overflow information flow of the fertility evil **** disappears within the observable range, but the main body of the spring of chaos is intact, and the underlying structure is still covered."

An endless stream of information was fed back from the steel cluster to Joshua’s thinking network. In the next moment, he in a deep voice ordered in his spirit: "Remove the first paragraph of restrictions and continue to put in the ‘light of order’!"

Suddenly, at the bottom of the dark chaos spring, the silver light flourished, and boundless chaos was boiling.

In the center of the Black Forest, around the Spring of Chaos, countless mists of dark mist surging, eroding the surrounding space and everything. Here, the soil, rocks, and the Black Forest are transformed into an extremely strange and peculiar substance. It is extremely inert and hardly reacts with any energy.

And in the high altitude in the middle of the Black Forest, more than a dozen cracks were opened in the space, and in each of the cracks, a white-gold rattan appeared. There were many bulging translucent crystals on the rattan. The observing organ of the legendary beast Platinum Vine Mother, at this time, it is monitoring the every move of the Spring of Chaos, and is waiting for the arrival of other human legends.

The human legend of the Northern Empire, Joshua Van Radcliffe has entered the Spring of Chaos alone, and has been told by it to other legendary powerhouses, whether it is the Inferno Dragon who is controlling the rioting warcraft or still The human legends who were sweeping the Black Forest stayed for this reason. They did not complain about the warrior's recklessness. They seemed to have long been used to it, or they thought it was normal, but even so, two legendary powerhouses temporarily stopped their hands. The sweeping action, but hurried over, was ready to assist Joshua in suppressing the magic of Chaos.

And now, they have arrived. The platinum vines in the south and east trembled. It sensed that two high-energy beings were flying from high in the sky at dozens of times the speed of sound. It was not the full force of the other party, but consider In order to avoid causing too much impact on the environment of Mycroft's world, this has been considered rapid.

Soon, two streams of light fell from the sky and came to the center of the Black Forest. It was possible to see that they were two women. One of them had long green hair and long elven ears, and the other had special hair with crystal plates. But he couldn't see his appearance.

The two of them are Nature Teacher Galanod and East Sea Sage Faina. As legendary powerhouses, the two have already known each other. After simply nodding their heads to each other, they all looked at the vines sticking out of the space crack Feeling the gazes of the two legends, the White Gold Vine Mother shook her limbs slightly, and whispered in a distorted voice: "The Lord of the Hell has been in the Spring of Chaos for a long time. Although these chaotic magic powers are heavy, they can’t help him, but I I am afraid that he will come into contact with the Cthulhu itself and be lost by the flow of Cthulhu's information."

The well-known battles of Joshua in Mykrov were the suppression of the tide of beasts, the smashing of the time-space gate in the North, the slaughter of the white dragon in the North, located in the abyss of the blood moon, the battle with the Church of the Seven Gods, and the battle of the Holy Mountain. Battle of Dragon Bane. In these battles, Joshua has shown strong high-heat power and pure destructive power. The field after his battle is like hell, and according to intelligence, Joshua has the power to create the'sun', and even his legend. The real body is driven by the miniature sun as the power source.

In addition to the daily joking titles uploaded from the Lord’s Mansion, the title of “Lord Flame Prison” has gradually become the current name of Joshua, which can not only express the power and majesty of Joshua, but also refer to him as The lord of Moldavia, the warrior himself does not seem to reject it.

"I believe in the power of Lord Yan Prison."

Faina nodded gently in response to this. She returned from the Star Sea World, and even had some communication with the Atrium Civilization. She naturally knew the origin of the other party’s title of "June Inferno", so she simply called it that way. The sage looked around the surrounding environment and couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "But the situation around here seems to have deteriorated compared to thirty years ago-haven't you, Fujimama, recently restricted these chaotic forces?"

In this regard, Tengmu also appropriately expressed helplessness: "Originally, I and the platinum ancient dragon were blocked together, but in the last few years, it split into countless parts and repeats the cycle of life. Before it returned, I was a Teng It's really unsupportable."

This is indeed helpless, Faina didn’t say much, but just when she lowered her head, ready to take a closer look at the current situation of Chaos Spring, and then consider how to help Joshua, the nature on the other side The instructor gave a soft voice.

"Wait, something is wrong."

Galanold frowned--this time, she came here as a clone, but this clone contained 45 percent of the nature teacher's body, which was enough in most cases, but just now, Galanold felt an extremely terrifying force that could threaten the life of her clone: ​​"There are changes in the Spring of Chaos, and we need to be accurate—"

Just when the nature teacher was about to remind Faina and the vine mother to be careful, suddenly, a few scattered silver lights suddenly lit up in the originally deep and dark chaotic spring like a bottomless abyss. In the rolling chaos and darkness, it seemed that something more terrifying was expanding, and it seemed to want to tear this layer of skin.

"this is!"

On the side, Faina, who had discussed the power of each other with Joshua at close range, diminished her pupils. She had already noticed the essence of the silver light spots. The sage stood in the air, she propped up a psychic shield, and then He said solemnly and solemnly: "This is Radcliffe's power of steel!"

In the next instant, with Faina's voice, a dazzling stream of light broke through the dark outer layer of the Spring of Chaos and shot directly into the high sky of the central black forest!

Rumble—Suddenly, the black clouds rolled, and the sound of thunder continued to explode. Accompanied by the sound of thunder, it was originally like a lake. The spring of chaos on the ground quietly surging suddenly resembled a fountain, suddenly A jet of black chaotic magic power spurted out, whether it was Platinum Vine Mother, Galanoud or Faina quickly backed away, but this black chaotic magic power Liu just flew halfway, quickly from the inside out, Changed to sparkling silver brilliance by'conversion'!

Wow! The silver brilliance collapsed in mid-air and turned into a "heavy rain" composed of tiny crystals. This rain fell from the sky and fell on the chaotic magic that has been corroded for hundreds of years. I don’t know what it has become. Above the earth, suddenly, with the faint sound of hissing, black smoke rose wildly, and the originally compacted, black land immediately turned into a large area of ​​white and yellow gravel, with silver-white light on the gravel. The inner layer is surging like a pulsating blood vessel.

In just a few tens of seconds, almost 60% of the eroded land was purified by the silver light. Two legendary powerhouses, a legendary monster, watched this scene with wide eyes—and at this time, it was originally dark. The spring of chaos has become a beautiful piece of silver amber that is extremely dangerous and terrifying! It was not a lake, but a condensed amber. Numerous clusters of steel gathered into a translucent solid structure, allowing the three legends to clearly see Joshua standing at the bottom of the original Chaos Spring.

And Qiao Xiuya also saw them. The soldier raised his head, facing the natural teacher and others who are located at a distance of thousands of meters, and normal people can't even see the small point, nodded, and said hello. After an instant, an instant Later, when Joshua determined that the surrounding chaotic environment had been almost purified, he raised the'flame' in his right hand.

And with the actions of the warrior, all the pulsating clusters of condensed steel turned into misty mist, and then gathered together, like a stream of silver tornado light, being sucked into the inconspicuous silver In the flames, and this recovery process only took a short ten seconds.

From the beginning to the end, it only took less than a minute from the beginning of the abnormal change in the Spring of Chaos to the explosion of silver light. The source of chaos, which had originally troubled everyone in Mycroft's world, but did not know how to start, was so easily swept away by Joshua, and all of this happened in the natural teacher, Faina and Baijin Vine. In the eyes of two mothers and one beast.

"This……"

Faina, who thought she was calm and rational, resisted the urge to exclaim, she blinked and whispered: "This is the specialization in the art industry? Is the saint's inheritor so powerful in purifying the chaos?"

But why doesn't the Church of the Seven Gods have such a method?

"It's almost like a natural enemy."

On the other side, the natural teacher patted her chest. She squinted her eyes and restrained her frightened thoughts as much as possible: "Moreover, this light... is alive!"

Galanold is indeed right. Joshua’s Light of Order, the steel cluster he created, is just like the black fog created by the sanctuary civilization. It is a'living power'. This power constitutes what he is now The incarnation of, the silver light is not only alive, but also a part of Joshua’s thinking and life now~www.novelmtl.com~ But Joshua, who is located deep in the original Chaos Spring, didn’t care about the sky. With the careful thought of friends, the warrior at this time has already noticed that there is a distortion of the deep underground not far from him, and it is completely impossible to observe the chaotic light circle inside it with the naked eye.

Its radius is about forty meters, which is not very large compared to the area originally occupied by the Spring of Chaos. At the periphery of this aperture, a majestic dark and chaotic atmosphere is emerging, and the surroundings were originally purified with difficulty. The fallen land and rocks were quickly eroded again, and the bottomless darkness was quickly recovering.

There is no doubt that that is exactly where the evil **** of fertility is left.

Therefore, Joshua stepped forward without hesitation, approaching the continuously spreading chaotic magic power. He ignored the sky above, Garanoud, Faina and others advised and stopped, strode before the distorted aperture.

Qiao Xiu raised his hand, seeming to want to touch the circle of light, in his hand, there was a silver light flowing.

He hit the aperture.
