Soul of Burning Steel

The void ushered in a long silence.

Joshua, who was already ready to attack, clenched his fist several times, and then loosened it several times. He stared at the demon king in front of him who expressed his surrender, wanted to open his mouth several times, but kept silent several times.

The punch of the strong is only thrown at the strong. Since Goliath folded his weapon and made his own strength drop, so he could not pose a threat, then Joshua did not punch at all during the period when he needed the abyssal demon to do things for him. reason.

"—no one would believe in the allegiance of a demon."

The sunken space gradually calmed down, and the extraordinary power stars floating around the warrior were taken back into his body one by one. After Joshua took a deep look at the motionless Goliath, he turned his gaze away and shook his head: "But you made the right choice... At least until the threat of the unknown evil god is over, you don't have to worry about this security issue, and we don't have any extra power to destroy you."

Joshua turned around, his back was facing the Demon King, revealing a huge flaw—although, with the warrior's current state, no matter whether it is front or side, outside or inside, it is equally invulnerable, if he wants, It can grow three heads and six arms at any time, perfectly responding to attacks from any direction.

But Joshua restrained all his defensive methods and directly exposed his flaws to Goliath.

However, in the face of such an opportunity, the other party didn't move at all, and stayed where they were, maintaining that somewhat ridiculous posture.

"……Why?"

Still not looking back, Joshua looked at the dim stars in the abyss. He spat out, and then asked in a deep voice, "Bearing humiliation for the demons? Are you willing to be a servant for the continuation of civilization? If it is a five-color dragon, a dragon man or a Siberian I believe it, but demons are absolutely impossible. They don't understand what is civilization and what is inheritance. Demons are nothing but wild beasts. If it weren't for the guidance of you big demons, they would prefer to invade the outside world. fight."

"Goliath, tell me your reasons for allegiance."

The man's icy voice echoed in the dark void. Because of the previous battle between the two sides, the surrounding world has long shifted from its original track and moved towards the distance. Even the Sixth Abyss is far away from the battlefield, and facing Joshua Questioned, Goliath slowly raised his head, his eight eyes were calm, and he didn't seem to feel any shame in his previous surrender and allegiance.

"There is no reason." It whispered: "If I have to say it, it is probably for the future."

Joshua narrowed his eyes slightly, and Goliath continued: "You're right, Radcliffe the Burning Soul, I don't care about 'insect civilization' or 'demon race' at all. ——Insect civilization has long been destroyed due to self-inflicted infighting. They deserve to die. I am not an insect. Their civilization has nothing to do with me. The latter is my tool, and their value is just that. They are not my children at all."

"I don't care about the life and death of my group of demons at all, because I know that they are all beasts that crave chaos, love blood, and are willing to fight and violence. They belong to me because I am the strongest. And not because I am their leader."

When Goliath said this, his tone was extremely indifferent, and he didn't seem to be lying at all. He thought so sincerely, without any falsehood.

As the king of demons who grew up from the acidic wasteland, Goliath has no empathy for the bug-human civilization. It even ate the last member of the bug-human civilization buried in the underground laboratory, completely ending the bug-human civilization. The era of evil has opened a new era of demons. But it also doesn't like demons, and even thinks those demons are just tools, not its people.

But, that being the case, why did Goliath dedicate his loyalty to the Joshua-Mycroft civilization? As a strong man who is comparable to a god and possesses the will of the abyss, Goliath alone is almost equal to the entire demon group and the abyss world. As long as it wants to run, no one can stop him at present. It has no reason to fold its weapons , make all the previous moves.

Joshua didn't speak, he just continued to turn his back to Goliath, waiting for the other party to give a reason, and soon, the abyss lord spoke calmly.

"But a new generation has appeared—different from those demons who were born in the sixth abyss and were born with a chaotic nature, the real 'demons' were born."

At this time, Goliath took back his broken scythes - it can be seen that the scythes are essentially the strongest part of the wing bones of the opponent's wings, but now, the wings are broken, making the great devil's wings look a little embarrassed However, Goliath didn't care about this, and it continued to answer calmly: "Just half a year ago, the demon I placed in another world, the demon that lived on my 'part of the body', was born in the world of order There is a new generation."

"As we all know, the will of the world rejects us refugees who burn, kill, and loot, but after the will of the abyss merges with me, my body is equivalent to the sixth abyss. As long as I put my body in other worlds, I can serve the demons." Create a 'land of the abyss of order' to deceive the world. And half a year ago, a whole new generation was born among the demon defenders living on my body... They are demons with real souls, born completely naturally, and I'm different, I'm different from Helm, I'm different from Saruka, Dreyer, and Grutia, he's different from us 'demons' who are condensed from countless soul fragments and then gain wisdom, their souls are Complete, blank."

"Without the inheritance of the innate soul, without any power from the soul fragments of the previous generation, the power of these 'demons' is really pitifully weak...but. So what."

Speaking of this, Goliath actually showed a 'smile'. No one can imagine how terrifying the smile of a ferocious eight-eyed demon king is, but it still 'smiles' and said: "The devil's mania, irritability, treachery, and Bloodlust, belligerence, insanity, and uncontrollable chaos are all caused by the incompleteness of the soul. A new soul cannot be born in the abyss, only the intelligence made up of countless fragments. This natural condition is destined to be a demon. 'Demonic' race, no intelligent life can cultivate normal intelligence in the daily repeated hallucinations, headaches and mental distortions, and the twisted frenzy originating from countless souls will tear apart all rationality."

"But they are different... They are normal creatures, as long as they grow up well, they are normal intelligent life... I can even feel that their bodies have an innate affinity for 'shadow', this strange power for the first time Hosting a brand-new creature, I feel that this is the blessing of the multiverse, as if it is like rebirth... I even deduced a perfectly suitable cultivation method for them—different from us, different from all demons. Same."

Saying so, Goliath slowly raised his head, and its eight eyes no longer had lava-like light, but were just like crimson crystals, with a blood-red color. For the first time, the abyss lord put on a pleading tone and said in a low voice: "As long as Mycroft is willing to admit that 'they' are a normal race of order and not regard them as demons."

"I promise, until my death - the reliability of the loyalty of all the demons in the Sixth Abyss."

Joshua turned around, and the giant god's silver eyes met the crimson eight eyes. At this moment, Goliath did not see any emotion, any element, or any intention from the other's eyes. The other's eyes were blazing And pure, from which it can be seen that any thought is an impossible luxury.

The only good thing is that without any emotion, it also means that there is no killing intent.

After a while, with a rumbling echo like thunder, the giant god said dully: "As expected of a gluttonous demon king, you are so greedy."

"Just by 'offering loyalty', you want to get the future, hope, and my promise and protection... This deal is too good, no wonder you don't hesitate, admit defeat when you say surrender, and surrender when you say surrender." surrender."

"However, Goliath, you have to be loyal to me and to the Mycroft civilization. What about the worlds that have been plundered and destroyed by you in the past hundreds of years? If the demon kills, what about the sacrificer?"

The giant slowly approached Goliath. He raised his left hand, and the silver storm gathered in his palm, finally forming a long and thick chain. He threw the chain in front of Goliath, then lowered his palm, holding it in Above the demon king's right corner, the warrior said without any emotion: "I know what you are afraid of."

"You are afraid that we are not enough to kill you, nor is it enough to destroy the Sixth Abyss, even to obliterate all existence related to you, including those 'demons of order' - but don't be afraid, I will not do this, I am Joshua Van Radcliffe, Burning Soul, Guardian of Order. Since those demons have never killed anyone, I treat them all equally."

"Even now, I have only one request for you demons—now, you go to rectify the abyss, and then send a demon who knows the way to take me to the abyss Nirvana at the fastest speed through the Styx River."

In Joshua's left hand, the light of order shone brightly. Accompanied by Goliath's muffled hum and the suffocating breath of the abyss, the soldier raised his left hand, and a weird and mysterious talisman appeared on the right corner of the big devil's head. arts.

"If the unknown evil god wakes up, your sacrifices, struggles, everything you carry, and the future you want to see, all of them will be meaningless. Remember this, and then do your best to complete the task."

The giant god whispered, then turned his head and stopped talking, while Goliath endured the sharp pain in his right corner and struggled to get up. It tore off a shadow from the shadow of his wings, and threw it at Joshua ya.

"Although I don't know what the land of Nirvana in the abyss is, if you mean the source of the River Styx, the deepest part of the abyss, I have indeed gone back."

Goliath picked up the chain Joshua left behind, and the moment it picked it up, the chain automatically wound around his hands like a snake. The abyss lord did not resist the chain's entanglement, but continued Said: "That's a part of my soul, it will guide you to the deepest part of the abyss - but the powerhouse of Mycroft, even I, have never really reached a place without any light, and our kind of still Unlike the abyss where demons live, there is a real 'dark abyss'!"

"Yeah."

After taking over the shadow, Joshua looked down, and found that it was a wriggling and changing soul entity. Goliath was indeed not lying, it was indeed the soul of a demon king, and there was no backer. He put away this piece of shadow soul, and then left without looking back, walking towards the depths of the abyss, leaving only a weak and calm voice echoing behind him.

"We'll light it up."

Without any hesitation, after completing his goal, Joshua left the void around the sixth abyss.

Only Demon King Goliath, whose hands were bound by chains of steel power, remained in place.

The chains left by Joshua are simply fragile and vulnerable to an extraordinary powerhouse of its level. This kind of thing is not bad for sealing an ordinary demon lord who has just been promoted to legend, even if it is Helm. Both Saruka and Saruka can easily tear it apart.

But this is also Joshua's purpose - as long as Goliath breaks out with all his strength, the aftermath alone will tear the chain apart, and he will immediately know that the demon king must have made other changes.

"..."

Silently touched the rune inscribed on his right corner, Goliath didn't know what it meant, but whether it was the will of the abyss or its own instinct, it told it that this rune was not a 'monitoring' seal ' Or harmful things like 'blockade', or even conversely, it vaguely feels that this rune is even beneficial to it, but it's hidden so deep that it's hard to find it.

Without contemplating for too long, Goliath's body disintegrated and re-formed into countless fragments - arms, leg bones, vertebral joints, bone fragments, internal organs - countless fragments of limbs containing powerful shadows and abyssal power, like flesh and blood Storms generally flew towards different directions in the void, only a fiery crimson heart wrapped in silver chains circled in the void, and flew towards the direction of the sixth abyss.

The sixth abyss, the top floor of the Valley of Tears Fortress.

The only demon lord Saruka who stayed behind stared at the high sky. The crimson heart of the demon king fell to the earth like a meteorite. It returned to the sixth abyss through the abyss rift valley in endless smoke and black clouds. Deep in the heart—the pulse of Goliath's heart maintains the last trace of vitality in the core of the sixth abyss. After it left for such a short period of time, the activity and temperature of the core of the sixth abyss dropped rapidly. Fall off a cliff.

"My king..."

Facing Goliath, who appeared in front of him in the form of pure shadow smoke, the lord of insects knelt down respectfully, expressing his loyalty - but even so, there was a hint of puzzlement in Saruka's voice And anger: "I heard the wild words of that human being - can we just surrender without any resistance like this? You know, we are demons, demons who make countless worlds tremble and tremble, and we feel sincere fear when we hear our names!"

"And you, our king—"

"Stop talking, Saruka."

Because his own flesh and blood belonged to the sixth abyss, the Demon King, who did not leave any flesh and blood to himself, stood on the top floor of his fortress, shaking his head and interrupting the questioning and complaints of his subordinates.

It looked at the iron-black sky of the Sixth Abyss, the plains and mountains full of poisonous gas, dust, smog, and dead silence. After a long time, it whispered: "Don't you understand?"

"Because I'm the devil king, the devil king—so I can't be as short-sighted as the devil, and act like the devil."

Besides, Goliath didn't have any redundant explanations, any redundant actions.

But that's enough.

The worm king Saruka bowed his head deeply, and didn't say any more words. It may not understand, but it knows that it should accept the order of the devil.

—Thousands of years ago.

Daemon Lords would never submit to any one being, let alone allegiance.

In the abyss, countless demon lords ruled over each other. They conquered, killed, and invaded each other. They unscrupulously consumed the last shelter of the world and slaughtered their own compatriots, just because it was fun and interesting, and they thought it was most in line with their nature ,

A powerful demon lord may temporarily rule a large group of demon lords, form an abyss invasion to expand and invade the outside world, and wage war on other worlds, but that's all. As long as the demon lord dies, then it will The empire, or the dynasty, or the tribe, or the royal court—no matter what the name or form, everything it owns will fall into chaos, leaving no lessons and conclusions.

One demon lord can rule a layer of the abyss, and two demon lords will start to fight each other. The demons will not obey the other, and they will continue to conquer, fight, and consume. That is to make an abyss a little more stable.

This age of incomparable darkness, drowned in blood and evil, lasted until a greedy soul opened its eyes.

Devil Goliath. What it desires, other than the demon lord under it, no other demon can know, but what needs to be known is that the demon lords who would never obey a strong man in the past, would rather fight and consume themselves, Gathered under one banner for the first time.

Smokey wind, acid rain, gloomy haze clouds, lightless sky, temperatureless sun, gray stone mountains looming in the black mist and the winding river Styx that pass through the whole world.

It is these that make up the long-dead world, the scenery of the sixth abyss.

Only the shadow belongs to his own demon king, Goliath stands on the fortress of the Valley of Tears made of bones and black iron-the tears shed for thousands of years due to the suffering of all beings are enough to wash a Valley of Tears on the plain ——No one knows why the gluttonous demon king used this as the name of his fortress.

But just like all demons don't know and don't want to know what the demon king desires, neither humans nor demons care about this.

——Despite being born in a dark world.

Looking at his territory, his hometown, the Demon King closed his 'eyes'.

——It cannot be said that demons are born to only enjoy shadows, and cannot desire flames and light.

Even if the flame is hot and the brilliance is dazzling, the temperature is enough to burn everything, and even the shadows no longer exist.
