Soul of Burning Steel

If one takes the game plot experienced in one's previous life as a projection of the history of Mycroft's world in other universes, then the plots of the two lives before and after Starfall 855 should be roughly the same.

The difference between the two worlds should lie in the fact that there were tens of millions of gamers in the previous life, while the world of Mycroft in this life just has an extra early stage with rapid system upgrades, and it took only a few years to touch the legendary realm Lord Joshua van Radcliffe.

Comparing what he did with the memories of his previous life, Joshua can be sure that before he killed Nuonuo and the black dragon in the Blood Moon Abyss and blocked the army of abyssal dragons, his changes to the world were not that great.

Until later, I changed the situation of the Holy Mountain War by myself, killed the leader of the plague cult, rekindled the flames of the world of Mycroft, went to the world of Star Sea, protected the civilization of the courtyard from the plague mother beast, and then reshaped the ecology of the Kronos world... This series of actions had a great impact on the situation of the entire galaxy in the world, and also allowed Joshua to obtain a lot of valuable information and clues.

But even so, it didn't bring about many essential changes. At least, for the multiverse, it can only be said to be painless.

But then, the series of actions of killing the demon lord Helm, sealing the steel python Mycroft, killing the time pusher Fatolvi, sealing and obliterating the mother of the black mist, and killing the weakened evil god, all of these actions will be of no use at all. There is no doubt that it will have a great impact on the future.

Whether it is a legendary demon, a powerful fallen steel python, or a time controller who can replace God's will with a human body, if it grows up completely, it is not surprising that it affects more than a dozen worlds, or even the entire galaxy of the world. It is even more like an evil god, a powerful enemy that needs the Mycroft civilization to come out. Its existence itself can affect the situation of the world's galaxy.

And among these targets that were bombarded, the most mysterious one in the past was the 'Weakness Evil God'.

——So far, the nine legends have not yet awakened from soul healing.

Joshua lowered his head slightly. Although Lotram (the unnamed mechanic) said that the recent treatment has improved to some extent, it seems that there is still a long time to wait until the nine legends wake up. Before that, everyone It is still not very clear why the Weak Cthulhu is in that peculiar sealed state and wraps it in a world.

But now, Joshua has a bold guess about it.

In addition to serving as samples for sages to study the transformation of order and chaos, the existence of the weakened evil god may also bear an important responsibility, and this responsibility is likely to be a 'suppressor' of some horrible things.

This is not unfounded speculation, everything has a reason.

Joshua began to deduce what kind of disputes and tribulations this world of Mycroft, which has no players and no traversers, would have encountered if this multiverse did not have him as a warrior who traveled through time.

The exhausted empire will shed its last drop of blood in the war against the orcs. After the war, the disputes between the old and the new nobles intensified. After barely ensuring the safety of the royal family, Israel, who was running out of time, went to the A few years later, he died, leaving seven children to compete for the throne, and the old and new nobles used it to start a large-scale civil war.

At the same time, dragon disasters, cultists, and fanatics from the Temple of the Earth Mother will successively invade the whole world, causing the lives in the far south to be devastated, the kingdoms of the Western Mountains are exhausted, and the major mage organizations in the Eastern Plains will also attack the returning murloc tribes. The world is crumbling, and each faction will face several opponents at the same time, and their opponents will also attack each other.

This is the origin of the name of the game, "Continent of Disputes". In this land, there is no place without war. A powerful enemy called Chaos Daemon is the target of the war.

Without players, without Joshua, many legendary powerhouses will die in the middle, or give up their lives in order to maintain the continuation of the world—Igor, the strongest combat power in the mainland, can face the seven gods of the five-color dragon god Pope , Before the abyss invaded, they died because they wanted to continue the fire of the world. This caused the Seven Gods who originally upheld the principle of "letting mortals to mortals" and never easily interfered with the situation on the mainland to take action several times and did many things.

For example, the Great Demonic Tide came, the Boundless Heaven merged into the world, sealed the steel python Mycroft, repelled the incoming monsters, opened the Myriad Worlds Sacrifice Field... and finally, during the Abyss War, the seven gods who found something wrong disappeared collectively , suspected to go to the land of Nirvana in the abyss to suppress the 'unknown' evil god.

Then here comes the problem—even if the strength of the Seven Gods is much higher than his own (this is doubtful, Joshua thinks he may not be able to beat it), but Joshua asks himself a hundred and he can't do the world's galaxy-level information disturbance No matter how strong the Seven Gods are, it doesn't make sense that they are more than ten times stronger than him. Together, they can suppress the 'unknown' evil god for such a long time without even causing any trouble.

The players in the previous life did not help the Seven Gods at all, which means that they accomplished this matter only by themselves... Regardless of success or failure, at least during the entire Abyss War, the unknown evil god did not appear.

Joshua believed that they must have used something to do all of this—it could even be said that that thing itself was part of the structure that sealed the unknown evil god, and it had an abnormality, so the unknown evil god There was a change, and the Seven Gods just restored the normality of that thing, so they could continue to seal the unknown evil god.

And that thing might be the world that sealed the 'weakening' evil god.

Joshua could guess that after defeating the abyssal demon, the next version of the game should be to deal with the "star shepherds" who came to control the giant void beast and have swallowed up the world's star river for more than ten years. After all, In essence, there is only one high-level legend in the Shepherd family, the Great Khan, and the others are the ultimate-level kings of the sky, and quasi-legendary-level void behemoths. The words are not too difficult, the fighters can figure out how to arrange the boss battle.

And after defeating the Star Shepherds, based on the other party's information, the players should go to the abyss Nirvana through the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice or the Void Behemoth of the Star Shepherds to help the Seven Gods re-seal the 'unknown' evil god .

As for the spark in the world of Grandia, the black mist wandering among the stars, and the world of Siberia in the maelstrom of the void, they are probably all rumored plots outside the main story line, version changes, or even stand-alone version DLC.

Using the thinking logic of his previous life to mark what he is experiencing now, Joshua sighed.

Without him, the world of Karlis might be destroyed in the "barrenness", and No. 3 will drive alone in the wasteland until the end.

The world of Ilgna will also be almost destroyed because of the confrontation between the father of nature and the evil god of natural disasters—maybe the elves can survive, but under the watchful eyes of the malicious steel python, how can those elves have a good end?

The Blood Moon in the Blood Moon Abyss will definitely not wake up, even if it wakes up, it must be a brand new abyss will, a destroyer who hates everything, instead of bringing the whole world back to life like the current Xiaoguang.

The world of Grandia will still be destroyed. That is the plan of the sages. Even if no one goes to retrieve the fire, there will be no extra people surviving.

In the world of stars, the Atrium people will be destroyed, the steel python stars will not wake up, evil gods will wreak havoc in its body, the ancient dragons in the world of Kronos will be captured by the black mist, and the black mist mother may be able to accelerate through the power of creation The speed of life evolution in Alpha Sanctuary, it will become stronger, able to create, and able to destroy.

Fatelorvi may continue to change the world line hundreds of times, and he will not look up at the starry sky until he finds the so-called 'road of destiny'.

However, the existence of the 'weak' evil god is more important than these things.

There are nine glorious legendary guards, and the weakened evil god sealed with a world. Long before Joshua's students, the elite team Priest and others went, there were signs that something was wrong. Joshua listened to his own words. The student narrated that at that time, the power of the evil god of chaos had basically eroded the seal, and he was waiting to wake up soon.

But not long after the evil god, maybe a few years, ten years, or decades-in the final analysis, the awakening of the weakened evil god was due to Joshua's stimulation of repairing the beam of light.

"If we say that the weakening evil god is part of the awakening structure that suppresses the unknown evil god, then its awakening ten years later coincides with the time when the seven gods disappeared in the previous life."

Joshua thought so. At this time, Captain Selma of the Distant Ship had been sent back to the world of Chartres by him, and Chartres, the steel python, carefully left the steel giant who was thinking, and returned to his own body. The soldier didn't care about these trivial things, he lowered his head and thought: "The power of weakening the evil god can make the chaos decay into the power of steel, and this power can even weaken itself. Presumably, even the existence of the evil god level cannot be unaffected." .”

The power of the unknown evil god is indeed powerful, but if it has not yet awakened, then using the power of the weakened evil god to weaken the chaos that has not yet merged into one is equivalent to using the power of 100 to deal with 10,000, or even a million 1 , although it is cumbersome, it is indeed not difficult. Even as long as the weakened evil god exists steadily and steadily, the unknown evil god will remain at the critical point where it will not awaken.

Speaking of this, Joshua couldn't help but think of the Cthulhu God of Abundance—the powerful Cthulhu God who catalyzes everything to its limit and then collapses. When it comes to ability, it seems to be the opposite of Weakness. What will happen if it encounters the Cthulhu God of Weakness?

... In fact, nothing will happen.

Because of the difference in energy levels, a weakened evil god with a power of 100 can't weaken a fertile evil god with a power of 1 million (metaphorically). To become a mass of pure steel—that is, suicide.

The mutual generation and restraint of abilities is actually not that important, at least, it is meaningless when the absolute ability values ​​are too different. Water can extinguish fires, but it cannot extinguish stars. The existence of stars can even decompose water and act as a source of nuclear fusion. fuel.

It is impossible for an existence with an ability value of 100 to defeat an existence with an ability value of 1 million by virtue of its ability traits, but it is not difficult for an existence with an ability value of 100 to deal with 10,000 or a million existences with an ability value of 1.

Just like Joshua, he suppressed 10 billion Chartres people, but it was nothing more than a backhanded thing.

Thinking of this, Joshua can basically confirm the following points.

one.

The weakened evil god should be one of the conditions for keeping the unknown evil god from awakening. The Seven Gods of the previous life should re-seal the weakened evil god, and then rely on the weakened evil god to break up the power of the unknown evil god that has not yet gathered, and then end this crisis.

two.

The Seven Gods should know about the existence of the unknown evil god. They may not know that the other party may become an evil god, but they definitely know that there is something unusual in the abyss Nirvana, and they need to ask here.

three.

The legends of the nine seals of the Weakness Cthulhu undoubtedly knew about the relevant seals. As the builders of the seals, they were very likely to know the connection between the Seal of the Weakness Cthulhu and the unknown Cthulhu. They need to be awakened as early as possible if possible.

Of course, there is the most important point that cannot be ignored.

"The weak and evil gods have already been eaten by me... This is too bad."

Thinking of this, Joshua couldn't help sighing deeply: "If I knew it earlier, I should have kept some."

Now, according to the various information analyzed by the soldiers, the result is very subtle—that is, as the only weakened evil god who has not escaped or been eliminated, but has been solemnly sealed, it does have the value of being solemnly sealed...even It can be said that it really cannot die!

But Joshua killed it, even digested it completely.

In this regard, Joshua actually has nothing to be ashamed of, because at that time the weakened evil god was rapidly recovering and becoming stronger. If it was restored to its full body, Joshua and other legends may not be able to completely control him. At that time, God knows how many worlds would have to be destroyed, how many legends would have to die to reseal it—not even necessarily.

Although it seems that the Weakness Cthulhu was forced back by several legends, in fact, it was defeated by its own power. Before the Weakness Cthulhu decayed itself, several legends shot at the same time, but it was weakened into a juvenile body to be slaughtered In the end, the weakened evil god didn't put much effort at all... Moreover, at that time, every legendary strongman had his own Void Fleet to assist, now... basically fighting alone.

The death of the Weak Evil God can be said to be inevitable, but the problem lies in another point.

"It is very possible that I awakened the unknown evil god."

Joshua raised his head, looked at the void in the direction of his body delicately, and murmured in a low voice: "If only the weakened evil god dies, then it is impossible for this unknown evil god to wake up immediately—the originally weakened evil god The power of the body has to be reunited, united, awakened, and then awakened—it is not surprising that this step will take more than ten years."

But there must be some power that awakened the unknown evil god.

Joshua believes that this is very likely the reason why he incarnated into the world and emitted that flash of light that illuminated the multiverse.

He has become too strong—the fluctuation of order has spread throughout the galaxy of the world, and even other galaxies. Feeling this power, the unknown evil god is like a slacker who has just woken up and was splashed with cold water. fresh.

It is precisely because Joshua became too strong, changed the fate of many worlds, and killed the weak evil god who "should not have died and should not die in this era", so that the follow-up should not be in this era. The 'Boss' that appeared in the era was activated by his power, triggering the current series of events.

"After much deliberation...the result is all my fault?"

Thinking about it like this, Joshua couldn't help being stunned: "So, those abyssal demons were indirectly extinct because of me?"

The reason for the awakening of the weakened evil god is essentially the reason why he established the Foreign Exploration Department and dispatched an elite team to carry out the task. The executor was still his student... The phenomenon of internal strife and extinction affecting the abyss, and even the self-destructive tendencies of the Chartres, He has a responsibility in it.

Joshua couldn't help shaking his head, and then laughed.

It's nothing... He was already ready to go to the abyss and Nirvana to explore the truth, but now, he just gave himself an excuse that he couldn't refuse.

Moreover, why can't he do what the Weak Cthulhu can do? Could it be that Joshua's method of weakening Chaos is not as good as that of a Chaos God?

There is nothing to worry about, at least, before fear, be confident in your own strength.

Thinking of this, Joshua turned his head. He was going to return to the main body now, get ready, and then go to the land of Nirvana in the abyss—now it is time to race against time, and every bit of time must not be wasted, because every bit of time passed, the unknown evil god It will become stronger, and the degree of awakening will be improved. If it cannot be weakened as soon as possible, maybe the other party will really awaken and become an unbelievably powerful evil god.

However, just as Joshua's incarnation of the giant god was about to leave and go to the depths of the void, suddenly, a faint ripple of time and space that would never be ignored by the warriors came from an unknown distant coordinate.

Joshua stopped his figure.

"What is it, Master Nostradamus?"

He transmitted the message in the direction of the flashing space-time ripples: "I have something urgent right now, if it's not urgent, please put it aside for now."

And the time-space ripples opened a small gap, and faint blue magic light patterns shone. At the same time, the spirit of the old mage was directly transmitted to Joshua's mind, with joy and tension in his tone.

"Urgent matter? My matter here is also urgent!"

Nostradamus spoke in a hurry, as if he had just finished an extremely exciting experiment: "Listen, Joshua, hurry back to the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground——I'm not keeping secret, your subordinate Lotlam, successfully The soul of a glorious legend has been revived!"

"Now she is recovering under the treatment of William and the Pope, I think you must know the news sooner!"
