Soul of Burning Steel

The four gods have already guarded the four-ring seal circle, and they can clearly perceive that as the gods enter the core seal anchor point, the mighty Styx River, which was originally mighty, began to calm down as if it had been trapped.

The four-ring seal is equivalent to four dams, which filter the chaotic power and world wreckage from every part of the galaxy—when the Seven Gods completely control the outer seal anchor points, without the indoctrination and stimulation of external power, I am afraid that it will not be enough. It is the unknown evil god that has not been solved, and it will take decades for it to awaken. After all, for such a large evil god, the difference between a thousand years and a hundred years may not be too big, just like the steel python in the star sea world, just the action of "concentrating" requires For several days.

But can the Seven Gods hold on for that long? This is indeed an unknown.

After crossing the fourth ring seal suppressed by Yuesai, the fifth one to leave is the God of Life.

This mysterious god who hides everything under the veil, who does not know whether it is gender, beauty or ugliness, is so mysterious. Facing the core seal node on the other side of the Styx, He slightly shook his head, and said to himself with some regret: "The cluster consciousness wants to It is very difficult to develop civilization, because the essence of life is only for survival, and the survival ability of collective will is too strong, they have no motivation and curiosity to make themselves live better and see more world."

"But sometimes, huddling on a planet and being a happy beast may be easier and safer than opening your eyes, becoming a civilization, and then looking directly at the endless void and universe."

At the end of the branch of the Styx River, there is a strange planet. This planet is different from the planets I have seen before, because it is essentially the corpse of a 'creature'.

This huge star-like creature has a shape similar to a planet. Its surface has a large thick layer of ice solidified, about several thousand meters thick. This is formed after the water in the star life is cooled and discharged. It can be seen , Under the glacier, the scars and organ gaps raised like mountains, countless wonderful biological organs are arranged on the carapace of the 'planet' very regularly, forming a huge rune array.

It's hard to imagine, if this star life is not born so big, but evolved from a weak, ants-like colony of life on a planet, then how long it will go through, how hard it is to develop, how to cultivate, How many planets have been digested and how many adventures have been taken to become such a miraculous form? Its body shape, every biological organ, and the sequence of runes arranged on its surface are all true stories one after another, living epics one after another.

But now, it's all meaningless. It is already dead. This group of life civilizations that may have dominated the star sea and wandered in the void, together with their bodies and lairs, have turned into this corpse-like planet. If there is still a sun in this world, perhaps tens of millions of years later, there will be From its carcass a whole new creature sprouts.

But there is no sun in this world, and it has long been extinguished—the battle between order and chaos has long ago wiped out all future and hope, turning it into an abyss of despair.

The God of Life didn't say anything more. He just left and came to the corpse of the astral life. With the pure white light shining, one after another, the core sealing circles like gears were activated, and the anchor point was determined. The black hole located in the center of the world began to 'glow', and a large amount of chaos deposited in this world was used as filling fuel, thrown into the accretion disk of the other side, and turned into a radiation flow bit by bit.

Without transforming into a holy emblem, without uttering holy words, the power of the God of Life is so powerful that it doesn't need any action, any words, just existence, and the divine power can achieve what other gods can only do with all their strength. Purpose, between breaths, the fifth ring seal was illuminated with white light, and the radiant brilliance of life was so dazzling that even Joshua was slightly surprised.

"He is so powerful... No, the only single-clergy god among the seven gods is so special, I should have thought of it long ago."

Only the strong can stand alone, otherwise, it will not be admirable special, but a puzzling alien.

The God of Life also left a light spot of divine power bestowed on Joshua. This is something used to explode divine power in times of crisis. Although the warrior bears the seven gods on his back—including the five-color dragon god, it is the blessing of the eight gods— — But he is not a god, nor can he display the miraculous effects of divine power, he can only use it as a passive resistance, and these divine power entities can allow Joshua to use some of his divine power in critical moments.

However, when Joshua took over the spot of light left by the God of Life, he let out a little surprise: because what the other party left behind was not a dead thing, but a fat, white, entangled, living worm cocoon'.

Although it was strange, it was indeed a means that the "God of Life" would have. Joshua accepted the cocoon and continued to move forward.

At this time, it is already the lowest level of the abyss—after the 900th level of the abyss, no light can be seen at all, and the number of wreckage in the world cannot be counted. After all, the abyss with layers is complete, and when the world is incomplete The wreckage is like the anchor point of the core seal that the Seven Gods went to before, most of them are in the wreckage of the world, not in the abyss world.

The number of layers of the abyss is getting fewer and fewer, but the wreckage of the world is increasing. It is very likely that the distance that needs to be crossed in the last 100 layers of abyss is farther than that of the 600 to 900 layers.

And from the beginning to the end, the God of Guardian and Progress, who had been very silent, didn't speak much, and didn't show any expression, had time to leave.

"Hey, young man over there."

In the form of a dwarf, the god of protection and progress in the world, 'Yizhe' - Ezerg - speaks a common language with a taste of dialect. He is obviously different from other gods, and the degree of humanization is far greater than that of the other gods. The others, and after Joshua heard the other person's words, he turned his head to listen to what the other person wanted to say.

However, when the other party opened his mouth, he was shocked.

"After walking this way, to be honest, my memory has recovered a lot."

The stout dwarf god didn't talk too much nonsense, and he said directly: "Probably that stinky brat, the sage, is afraid that we will be polluted—after all, time is the thing that can change everything the most, even the true god is no exception, so That’s why we add so many rules and constraints, and set our memory in such a way that if we don’t get close to certain things, the memory of certain things will continue to be sealed.”

Just such a sentence, the information revealed is astonishingly huge, Yi Zhe didn't pay attention to the expression of Joshua who opened his eyes slightly, he just took out a pipe from nowhere, put it in his mouth, and then With his hands behind his back, he said inarticulately: "It started five or six thousand years ago, and he never told us clearly about his plan, including his group of foolish apprentices, who will be killed even after death." He pulled it up and continued to use it, it was really unsettling."

After finishing speaking, the dwarf god turned his head, looked at the silent god of power, and then looked at Joshua, his iron gray eyes were not as excited as his words, but calm and unbelievable, he said with a sneer : "It seems that you are a little scared? It's nothing. As his inheritor, you should know that the sage has more than a dozen initial followers, right?"

"Saint." Joshua replied succinctly. He did know about it. The soldier was surprised by Yi Zhe's attitude, but he was not really that surprised by the information he revealed.

To be honest, he really guessed this possibility a long time ago, and now it's just that the possibility has turned into reality, it's no big deal.

"Yes, saints—that's what the whole world called us at that time. But in fact, that guy's apprentices are only six, and the rest are his technical officers, deputy, bodyguard, and single A sycophant who eats dry food and does nothing but write biographies with us all day long."

Yi Zhe, the dwarf god, shook his head, and then continued to say to Joshua: "I have retrieved most of my memories—before I became a god, I was the second saint, Izag, the Immortal Holy Order, It is also the elders, protectors and bodyguards of the sages in the first few decades. Of course, it will be useless in the follow-up, but it is not my fault, after all, no fool dares to do anything to us."

Having said that, the dwarf god laughed, and then stared at the other side of the Styx.

It was a dead world filled with rioting six elements, and it should be a gathering place for large elemental beings. Magical elements mixed with chaotic forces repelled each other, collided, and annihilated, in a continuous cycle of destruction. Any matter entering it would be destroyed. Be completely assimilated into elements of riot.

Looking at this world, he said with some nostalgia: "I fought against the evil god, died, and was resurrected by his innate ability, becoming a god. If I want to talk about it in detail, it is a very long, ups and downs epic story , but I don’t have time now, what a pity... However, I’m not just me, the evil god has annihilated most of my soul, and even he can’t be resurrected out of thin air. This guy should use something to make up for my incompleteness A piece of it, presumably it is the same for the other six children besides me."

"Are you saying that the seven gods are all saints who died in the battle against the evil gods in the past?"

Joshua listened silently to the other party's words. He nodded slightly, squinted his eyes, and said softly: "Resurrection from the dead...is indeed the 'power' first mastered by the sages. It's just that I didn't expect that he could even master legendary powerhouses. resurrected, and even sublimated into a true god."

Today's Joshua can indeed resurrect other people, but there are many conditions, one of which is that the soul must be complete. Moreover, after the resurrection, unless the resurrected person's strength is lower than Joshua's, otherwise the strength will definitely drop a lot. After all, the body is recreated, and the highest can only be the golden pinnacle.

"Probably so. In fact, I don't think so. Maybe I'm the steel python? After all, this world looks a little strangely familiar. Moreover, some of those little guys don't look like his apprentices. They I kept silent about this, perhaps because I have begun to doubt who I really am. Maybe there is a deeper secret in it."

"I can keep thinking, but now. I don't want to keep thinking. My task is no more difficult than those children."

Yi Zhe is the most humane deity, he shrugged, and then patted a scale on Joshua's chest armor—because his dwarf form is too small compared to the Iron Giant, it can only be photographed here— —Then, the dwarf god turned around and flew towards the destroyed elemental world.

"Come on, young man, if one day, you can catch up with the sage instead of us old guys who have been left behind, please be sure to kick his ass hard."

The iron-gray brilliance of divine power overwhelmed the colorful elemental world in an instant. It can be seen that there is no core seal anchor point in that unknown elemental world, but with the huge mass pulling, the six elements of the riot Gathering began——Yi Zhe used his divine power to reforge an 'elemental black hole' abruptly in this void of elemental world! It can be seen that in the world of magic elements mixed with chaotic power, a vortex suddenly appeared. This huge vortex was initially guided by the "divine power of change", and then because of its own quality, it began to gather and condense spontaneously!

"Heaven's protection is progress!"

The holy words said that soon, Yi Zhe created a brand new core seal anchor point from scratch, and connected to other seal anchor points around it—the iron-gray light flashed in the void at the speed of thinking. , Constructed the sixth ring seal!

And in Joshua's hand, he was holding the iron-cased tome with the iron chain in the hand of the dwarf god. He opened it casually, but found that the sacred book was blank except for the title page.

[Excessive doting is poison, but without the protection of power, no matter how great the revolution and progress will be stifled—however, the meaning of our existence is to protect the "possibility of progress".

Those who have 'power', please watch over all living beings, because from now on, it is your era.

Let's write a story. 】

"Weird old fellow."

Joshua accepted the book. He turned his head and looked at the God of Might and Justice who had been silent all the time.

"Let's go."

The gray-haired knight whispered, and the warrior nodded slightly, descending towards the final abyss partly.

"The talent of 'Life' is the one that deserves to be the strongest among us. Hundreds of years ago, when we were still thinking about how to use our own divine power, He had already begun to progress, moving towards a further field."

On the way down, the God of Power and Justice said in a weak tone: "Of course, I didn't know that Yi Zhe was so strong—after he recovered his memory, his control over power has doubled several times, and his divine power is so deep that I'm afraid Among the seven gods, the strongest is the one who is usually inconspicuous."

"how about you."

On the way down, Joshua turned his head. He didn't show any expression, but asked the god beside him in a deep voice: "I can see that the seven gods have similar powers, and the outermost core anchor points need to be controlled the most, but the more you go On the inner side, the concentration of chaos is greater—the concentration of chaos on the sixth layer of the seal ring is dozens of times that of the outermost layer, so the most powerful god of life and the god of protection and progress are the gods who hold the formation. Ah, The anchor point of the core seal of the sixth seal has even been eroded, or destroyed, and the difficulty of repairing it may be unimaginable."

"God of Might, as the suppressor of the seventh seal, are you the strongest of the Seven Gods?"

"No."

The god of power and justice, 'Xingzheng'—Zinsen—shakes his head, and this grey-haired knight who looks quite staid and serious actually smiles freely: "My strength may be said to be the weakest—because I The soul defect in my life was so serious that the teacher couldn't repair my soul. It was really unlucky, I even forgot my glorious name, and only remembered that I was one of the disciples of the sages... But this is not true Bad thing, because in this way, I belong to the Starfall Era, a single-minded god of power and justice."

"As for why I am in charge of guarding the seventh floor, Radcliffe, don't you understand very well?"

Having said that, the gray-haired god slightly raised his eyebrows: "Because I'm dying."

Hearing this, Joshua was silent.

In the past, in order to suppress the steel python in the world of Mycroft, dozens of gods and hundreds of legendary incarnations of the world were born. Do your best to suppress it in the core of the world with the hammer of the boundless heaven.

Although that battle was silent and silent, it was far less exciting than the battles that took place in many legends and foreign enemies, but the degree of danger was far higher than it—one of the seven gods, the god of power and justice, Xingzheng, then At the end of the suppression of the steel python, Mycroft had no choice but to show his strength beyond his limit, and was eroded by the source of the multiverse, gradually stepping into the road of god extinction.

Is he weak? Of course not, there is no weak person among the seven gods, but maybe, in order to ensure the completion of the seal, he used a little force. And that point determines his future.

Xing Zheng was right, He was dying soon.

Even now, Joshua can sense that the divine power of the gray-haired god is constantly rising, expanding, and becoming stronger and stronger. At the same time, his self-awareness is being assimilated by the source of the multiverse—— This may come from the fire power of the primordial fire, the existence of almost infinite power, which is gradually replacing the gods themselves.

He is about to return and assimilate with the source, which is the theoretical death of immortal, immortal gods.

At this time, the halo field covered by the God of Guardian and Progress has receded, and now, it has reached the deepest part of the abyss closest to the first place of Nirvana in the abyss.

Here, there is no trace of the abyss world anymore, everything is chaotic darkness, even the Styx River is completely filled with endless dirty particles, world wreckage, and chaotic power. The negative energy fluid has also turned into a viscous form that is almost a gel solid in such a filthy environment.

It can be seen that eight rays of divine power emerge from the Iron Giant God's body, purifying the surrounding high-concentration chaotic power, while the black divine power radiance around the God of Might and Justice appears deeper than the darkness. In the past, he was dominated by him, and hedging and offsetting with other chaotic forces.

"As you can see, the anchor points of the outer core seal still exist, but the further inside, the more serious the damage. When it comes to the place closest to the abyss Nirvana, there is not even a bit of world structure. The method borrows the quality of the world to shape the anchor and make it take shape."

It's time to say goodbye. Xingzheng walked slowly towards the depths of the darkness. The gray-haired god who left in the form of a knight slowly pulled out a divine long knife from his waist. The long knife was like water, just out of its sheath, and the endless black The divine power surged forward violently, creating a long vacuum in the Styx.

At this moment, Joshua suddenly remembered a long time ago, when he was still at the peak of his mind, when he and Brandon attacked the wreckage of the evil spirit of the atmosphere in the Moldovan territory——

He once saw the last blade light left by a knight in the ancient laboratory that sealed the remnant body of the evil god, and heard his tired words.

The sharp and shining sharpness that has spanned thousands of years, enough to split the world and split time and space, is almost exactly the same as the divine long knife held tightly in the hands of the God of Justice and Power at this time!

Not only that, but there are more memories about him... In front of the sages, the man who bluntly said that he wanted to rely on the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice to conquer other worlds... All the impressions began to overlap.

"I once repelled the evil spirit of the atmosphere and cut off its tentacles——you are the third saint, my lord..."

After realizing this, Joshua's face moved slightly, and he frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but the gray-haired knight turned his back to the warrior and shook his head, signaling Joshua to stop talking.

"I am not the third saint of the Era of Glory—forget everything you have ever seen—I am the God of Justice and Power of the Era of Starfall."

Saying so, Xingzheng's human form began to become illusory, and behind him, black flames burned blazingly, glowing with infinite light.

The endless black radiance of divine power turned into a black ring bigger than the stars on the spot, and the endless negative energy and world wreckage in the River Styx were in turn controlled by the divine power of this order and turned into its Raw materials, it can be seen that a halo like a star ring is generated around the ring, and a large amount of negative energy is purified and converted on the spot.

And at the moment when the holy emblem of the black circle was formed, Joshua seemed to be able to hear the moaning of the entire Styx main vein.

"Crack-squeak!!!"

The black flames of divine power were burning, and all the world wreckage and chaotic power wandering in the depths of the Styx, near the abyss Nirvana, began to madly move towards the black circle like a nebula attracted by a huge mass of stars. When the burning flames are thrown, the scene is like moths rushing to the flame, or like thousands of rivers rushing to merge into the sea.

Even Joshua sensed it at this time, a colossal force completely different from gravity is forcibly dominating all the wreckage of the world and the power of chaos in the River Styx, rushing towards the holy emblem transformed by Xingzheng. See, pieces of black continental wreckage, fragments of stars, and embers of nebula after the stars are extinguished, all rushing upstream in the Styx River, and you can see, one after another, formed by the condensed black divine power, like gears. The array is condensed around it, that is the seal rune that only exists around the core seal anchor point!

Unlike the god of guardian and change who mobilizes the energy and matter of an elemental world to reshape the core seal anchor point, Xingzheng intends to create a core anchor point directly in the void in the Styx with his own divine power!

"It's different from them who said goodbye. What I want to say this time is farewell."

In the center of the black ring, in the blazing fire of divine power, an illusory human figure showed a 'smile'. On his forehead, the divine ring runes began to spread, crack, and could be seen, more surging Divine power surges from the endless 'other end', from the other side of the great source of the multiverse!

"Legendary warrior Joshua Van Radcliffe, witness what kind of power the god who is about to die can exert!"

The phantom of Xingzheng stood in the middle of the Styx River. He raised the long sword of divine power high in his hand, then aimed it at the Styx River, and slashed down. In an instant, the dazzling light of the sword broke through the world, and the divine power and thunder spread across the world. The ruthless roar distorts the space-time structure. With just such a knife, the Styx, which was previously sealed by the six rings, is separated from the Styx where Xingzheng is located!

He split the Styx and temporarily cut off the life-and-death cycle of the world's galaxy—from now until the Styx returns to its original state, the unknown evil god will no longer be able to obtain any power supplement through the Styx!

But after the knife was cut, the human form of the god of power and justice collapsed on the spot, turning into nothingness, leaving only the black ring holy emblem shining in the Styx.

It could be vaguely heard, a voice that seemed to be just an echo, but extremely solemn and majestic, echoing in the depths of the Styx.

"Justice without light needs power to promote it."

[Civilization needs a judge, a judge, a judge, and a villain. Civilization needs justice, kindness, and someone to judge whether it is good or bad, right or wrong.

Civilization needs justice. But justice does not speak for itself, and everyone's justice is different. Justice is not order, but chaos in thousands of people.

Only power can maintain order, and only power can make the justice of chaos become the law of order.

so.

Order is power, and power is justice. 】

Hanging in the depths of the Styx, the black ring absorbs the endless world wreckage and chaotic power. Its volume continues to expand, but it keeps shrinking. Soon, the distortion of time and space begins around the black ring. The shape deepened, and the black flame burning in the ring was like the pupil of an eye. He stared at the deepest part of the abyss, where the great vortex of creation used to be, with no regrets in his gaze, only determination.

"I call for justice—"

The Absolute, and the final Word, is spoken.

"—In the name of absolute power and equality!"

Divine light, spread.

The black divine light began to spread, and the wreckage of the abyss world closest to the place of nirvana in the abyss was instantly covered by the black divine power of the seventh ring.

Then, turn off.

The Styx, which was originally dark and turbid, suddenly became clear.

Because all the darkness and chaos, as well as the embers after the destruction of the world, were completely merged into the star hanging in the center of the Styx, distorting time and space, and completely impossible to observe with the naked eye—the star located at the center of this huge seal ring, It is a dark star eternally sinking in the event horizon. It can be seen that the chaotic accretion disk is rushing violently, just like the dazzling knife light that cut off the Styx.

The final star-black hole-the anchor point of the seventh ring core seal.

That is the God of Justice and Power in the Starfall Era, after burning to the limit, finally ushered in the ending.

The iron giant looked up at the anchor point of the seventh ring's core seal, closed his eyes, and bowed slightly to pay tribute.

Step toward the end, sing to death.

As a fighter, what else can he say?

There is no need to sacrifice, because practicing His philosophy is the best sacrifice, and there is no need to remember, because His mission is with you.

Joshua opened his eyes, turned his head and left, and continued to walk towards the bottom of the abyss.

The River Styx, which was temporarily cut off, is no longer raging, just like calm sea water. He can see that there is still endless darkness ahead, and the seven-color divine light behind him can only illuminate a very short distance for him, while the remaining infinite shadows are still there. He needs to develop it himself.

But that's nothing to be afraid of.

Now, Joshua is alone, and in front of him is the darkness formed by all the chaos of the world's galaxy.

There.

It is the 'Extremely Dark Abyss'.

Two chapters in one, ask for a monthly pass.
