Soul of Burning Steel

Under the crimson sky, the purple-blue sea is as smooth as a mirror.

The sea, mixed with heavy metal minerals gushing from the depths of the earth, clearly exudes a poison that makes people dizzy just by approaching it, but if you look down from the top of the sky, it is so warm and peaceful, As beautiful as a painting.

Abyss No. 82—Dead Sea Abyss, a world destroyed by crustal changes caused by a war of superhumans. Two superhumans, presumed to be legendary, died together on the highest mountain. The aftermath of their battle caused changes in the celestial phenomena. The basement collapsed, and finally the entire continent was irreversibly and slowly sunk into the seabed in an unprecedented earthquake.

During this period, all life was killed by the high-heat and highly toxic steam from the sea, and the whole world was empty in just a dozen years.

Until now, the black shadow formed by the sinking of the mainland can still be seen. Its shape is regular, like a prismatic vertical pupil, embedded in the center of the purple-blue sea.

This is a world where bacteria don't even exist, the sea is as calm as death, except for a black river of Styx flowing slowly in the depths of the ocean, there is no "movement" in the whole world, and because there is no food or soul , This peaceful abyss is not even willing to approach the devil.

But just today, the peaceful abyss of the Dead Sea ushered in an unprecedented visitor.

Starfall 840, on May 17th, as the sky was torn open a crack in a 'gentle' way, a silver light passed through it - it can be seen that the silver light was extremely huge before passing through the crack, just like a star It shone like a mountain, but soon, he continued to shrink, and finally became only as big as an ordinary mountain peak.

The giant is suspended above the abyss of the Dead Sea. It just exists, and the purple-blue water without fluctuations spontaneously bulges upwards, forming a tide. Countless concentric ripples appear in the extremely calm ocean. It looks like, It seemed like a huge 'eye' was staring at him.

"It's here, the abyss of the Dead Sea."

A dull-sounding voice came from the giant's palm: "The Styx of the Sixth Abyss can at most transmit the existence of the ultimate level, and only the Styx of the Dead Sea Abyss allows the most powerful demons and powerhouses to pass through."

The existence in the palm of the giant is a black sphere wrapped in a silver halo—to be precise, it should be a black shadow like ink. It has eight eyeballs, which are squirming and changing all the time, as if wanting to stretch out to come, but the extremely strong force blocked its actions, so that it could only show a spherical shape.

"After entering the Styx, we can pass through all the abyss at the fastest speed, avoiding detours in the void, and just sinking directly into the bottom of the abyss."

The black shadow struggled several times to no avail, and finally gave up resistance, and was calmly crushed into a ball: "It's just that I don't even know why you are going to the bottom of the abyss—do you think the evil god is there? But when I went , there is no aura of chaos around the bottom layer."

"That's because when you went, the seal should still be there."

Only then did the giant speak slowly, and Joshua scanned the entire world, and after confirming the location of the river Styx under the sea, he nodded undeniably: "Indeed, the river Styx in this world is much larger than those in other worlds. "

The Shadow Ball—that is, a small piece of Goliath's self-torn soul fell silent. It can naturally see the determination of the person in front of him to the bottom of the abyss, but even he, the demon king, is not sure. , Can the Styx of the Dead Sea World carry the tonnage of this steel giant?

Although they are all legends in theory, the tonnage of this one is really unimaginable. At least the Styx of the Sixth Abyss is absolutely unable to carry it, so it will lead the opponent here.

"It seems that you are not lying."

And just when Goliath was thinking with a headache, if Joshua could not enter the Styx, how could he lead him to the bottom of the abyss, he made sure that he was not misled, deliberately detoured, or discovered any traps The soldier in ambush nodded slightly and said, "Now, Goliath, at this critical moment, you can barely be regarded as a trustworthy member."

The Shadow Ball actually didn't understand what Joshua meant by these words. At most, he knew that his sincerity and calm attitude had been rewarded since he left the Sixth Abyss. But soon, Goliath Knowing that he was wrong, the soul fragment from the Demon King couldn't help but widen his eight eyes.

Because it saw that there were colorful streams of light continuously emerging from Joshua's arms and back, surrounding him, circle after circle of holy and incomparable light surrounding his body, forming seven majestic figures reflection.

"The abyss and demons in this era are not the same as those recorded in the news." A sky blue reflection floated, and a voice that sounded extremely young, like a teenager, but extremely calm came. Priest robes, a beautiful boy with dark blue long hair walked out of the halo of divine power. The God of Order and Destruction stared at the shadow ball in the hands of the giant god, and frowned in disgust: "At least, in those days, demons were just like cockroaches. Pests are far from being as close to civilization as they are today."

"Even among demons, there will be respectable kings and leaders." The pale green light flickered, and a middle-aged man who looked a little tired and held a thick code in his hand slowly condensed from the light. He looked like It is a luminous person with a pair of glasses on his face. He can see that his short dark gray hair is uneven and looks a little messy. Facing Goliath's soul fragments, the god of restraint and freedom sighed and shook his head Said: "But demons are demons. If they don't have enough power, they won't be willing to reason with you at all."

"This is also a choice. The devil chooses to become a civilization of order, not a chaotic beast." The old man wearing a pale golden mage robe slowly walked out of his halo of divine power. This kind old man only had one eye In other words, He will always only open one of the two eyes, but now, in His opened right eye, there are countless geometric shapes flashing, and they seem to form thousands of symbols in an instant. The god of text structure, wisdom and choice glanced at the black ball, and said with a low laugh: "We have power, so we don't have to worry about their disrespect, at least as long as we are strong enough, they will always be reasonable-this is enlightenment."

Unbelievably powerful fluctuations of divine power poured out continuously from Joshua's body. Seven completely different radiances filled the entire abyss of the Dead Sea in an instant. It is relatively clear, but now, under the light of divine power, all the metal particles that have not yet settled have dissipated, revealing the black river of Styx that flows quietly deep in the bottom of the sea.

"It's here." The god of power, who appeared in the image of a gray-haired knight, narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "The River Styx is very active... It seems that this world once had a very glorious past."

The God of Guardian and Change, who appeared in the image of a dwarf blacksmith, snorted. He didn't speak, but silently touched the hammer on his waist and the iron shell and chains. Compared with books, he looked more like It is an unknown scripture of the meteor hammer.

The god of love and death and the god of life are also very silent. The two gods stand quietly facing each other. The brilliance of the violet and pure white divine power shines, but even so, the powerful coercion of the two gods continues to stimulate the surrounding magic and Elements, releasing all kinds of strange brilliance and sparks.

——Seven Gods? !

The ball of shadow instantly swelled like a hedgehog, with countless spikes, but soon, these spikes were pressed back, but even so, it can still show the shock and fear of the demon king's remnant soul!

Even if it's just Goliath's soul fragments, the Shadow Ball clearly knows the form of the seven gods of the human race in the Mycroft Continent. There is no doubt that the seven beings that popped out of Joshua's body are exactly the seven gods. The true body of God!

The sense of majesty and power that seems to be able to suppress the entire world can be confirmed with just one glance. This is the real divine power—if Goliath is not afraid of any gods in the full form of his body, then now, this Even the breath of the seven can directly destroy this little soul fragment.

etc. Just as he was shrinking his body as much as possible to make himself smaller and invisible, Goliath suddenly thought of something. He couldn't help turning his head to look at Joshua who didn't change his face. Shi also just lowered his head and looked at the shadow in his hand. The two looked at each other, and Goliath saw an almost uncapturable smile flashing in the other's eyes.

——Just now, the divine power of the seven gods of the human race overflowed from Joshua's body, and condensed into the body of the seven gods... Whether it was summoned by a holy object, or it really resided on Joshua's body, this It all means that as long as Joshua is willing, he can call the divine power of the seven gods to descend at any time, regardless of all space and magic circles!

"That's facing an evil god who can stir up the world's galaxy. Even if it hasn't really awakened, the process of awakening has been interrupted by us, and its development is seriously stunted... That is also an evil god at the world's galaxy level."

Just when Goliath was shocked, the giant god opened his mouth slowly, not knowing whether he was explaining or talking to himself: "I have contacted the seven gods long before I set off. Faced with such a terrifying threat of chaos, the gods naturally There is no obligation—if it wasn’t for the murloc god and the metal dragon god who have already set off to suppress other worlds eroded by chaos, this time, there might be nine gods living in me.”

Joshua did not lie.

He did go to the Sixth Abyss 'alone', and did not take the eight legends with him, making the gesture of razing the Lacrimal Valley Fortress and even the entire Abyss world to the ground—but he has the divine power of the Seven Gods on him, the Seven Gods God is God, not man, and the warrior was right.

In fact, Joshua had communicated with the Seven Gods long after he suppressed the world of Shalt at the beginning: If Goliath does not plan to cooperate, and plans to escape, wasting the little time left in Mycroft civilization , then the Seven Gods will take action and work together to raze the sixth abyss, the biggest unstable factor, to the ground.

If there is a real fight, the Seven Gods will go all out, let alone the sixth abyss, the entire abyss will be completely flattened! The power of the seven gods gathered together is definitely not something that demons or abyssal monsters can resist.

"Fortunately, I surrendered relatively quickly... Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous!"

Feeling that the core of my remnant soul is trembling, what else can Goliath say? Not to mention that it is just a piece of soul fragment now, even if the main body is here, at this time, it has to gather its wings and act like a demon, pretending to be dead to reduce the sense of existence.

Fortunately, Joshua and the Seven Gods did not focus on it at this time - they had more important things to do.

"The essence of the Styx is actually a 'line of fire and steel power' that runs through all the abyss and recovers the power after the world is destroyed."

The god of wisdom and choice in the image of an old mage said softly. He looked down at the huge black river in the deep sea, and said with some emotion: "The river Styx is the body of the dead steel python, the reincarnation of the soul of the whole world. Turning into a river leading to the land of Nirvana—how glorious the civilization was when it existed, how wide the Styx River is after its destruction. Judging by the extent of this Styx River, there have been at least a dozen legendary strongmen in this civilization. There are even true god-level gods.”

"The maelstrom of creation passes through the river Styx, gently recovering the wreckage of these worlds that are gradually collapsing. When the river Styx disappears completely, it will be the day when the abyss world is truly destroyed."

Having said that, the God of Order and Destruction, who was shown in the image of a beautiful young priest, turned his head and looked at Joshua who seemed to be in deep thought. He said softly, "Radcliffe, according to the little information we know, the seal that was sealed back then The magic circle of the Great Vortex of Creation has more than 10,000 core anchor points, and now that the seal is invalid, these anchor points may have turned into a condensed body of chaotic forces."

"We will clear most of the chaotic forces on the outside for you, and ensure that you can enter the core area of ​​the 'Nirvana Seal' in the most complete state-at that time, whether you use brute force, steel force, or It is the power of the King of Burning Souls, you must open a gap in the 'core seal anchor point'."

"Yes, the core anchor must be destabilized."

But at this time, the God of Might took up the conversation, and gray-black light spots were constantly floating around His body. After a self-deprecating laugh, the God said in a low voice: "Even if the seal unit made by the Weak God is invalid , The Nirvana circle of the entire rebirth plan is also extremely strong. It is a sealing circle that is almost at the same level as the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrificial Field. This is proof that the evil god conceived in the maelstrom of creation has not yet fully awakened. The magic circle of that level , and only when the outer anchor point and the core anchor point are wrong at the same time, will the chaotic power suppressed by the seal lose control and overflow to the outside world."

"A seal that is too strong will even become a protective shell of the sealed thing. Only when the entire sealing circle is close to collapse, can we really do it, explode the power, and purify the time that has been silted up for thousands of years. chaos."

"——Radcliffe, the most important thing in this plan is you."

Hearing this, the silent god of love and decay sighed, and he said: "Gods cannot bestow blessings on each other, and ordinary strong men cannot carry the power of multiple gods—only you have self-glory." Since the Era, the strongest and most powerful body can carry the blessings of seven gods at the same time, and you may be the most resistant existence to chaos in history, except for the sages."

"Only you, who bears all our blessings, can be in the deepest part of Nirvana without being eroded by chaos, and even survive the final impact of chaos."

"I know, you don't need to explain it again."

Standing on the abyss of the Dead Sea, Joshua clenched his hands and put away Goliath's remnant soul. He raised the corners of his mouth and said with a fearless smile: "This is the plan we discussed before, isn't it? ?"

"However, this task is very dangerous, and you are likely to die."

The God of Life suddenly said: "Everything is meaningful only if you are alive——Soul Burner, aren't you afraid? Are you afraid? Our seven gods are only active on the outside, but you are a mortal who wants to attack the most dangerous place." core anchor."

"Don't you feel unbalanced, or even resent us?"

But Joshua just quietly glanced at the other party.

——In the eyes of the iron giant, there is nothing but pure silver light, nothing exists, no killing intent, no resentment, and even less fear. The indifference and calm after countless battlefields.

Of course he knew it was dangerous - but so what?

Regardless of balance or not, some things always need to be done by people. Since only he can do it, then he will do it. Things are as simple as that.

The heavens go to the left, and the warriors go to the right. If you were afraid of the danger of battle and the coming of death, Joshua would not be the Joshua you are now.

"time is limited."

Even though Joshua, who was surrounded by seven gods, was standing in the center of the light pattern of divine power, he said so without any hesitation, and went straight down to the river Styx at the bottom of the deep sea. His extremely heavy and hot body was The moment it touched the sea water, infinite steam and a tsunami sweeping the entire world were born at this moment.

But even so, the warrior's voice can be heard piercing the endless steam and fog, echoing between the sky and the earth.

"lets go."

After hearing this voice, the Seven Gods looked at each other, a large amount of information flow intertwined, and finally tended to unify.

Then, they nodded in unison, turned into seven different rays of light, and followed closely behind the warrior.

——Some people are born to be banners.

Not a hero, nor a god.

Just keep moving forward at your own pace, walking in a straight line like a ray of light.

That's all.

It is enough to lead the gods of heaven and earth, all over the world.
