Soul of Burning Steel

Imagine yourself alone in a dark sea, with turbulent undercurrents and man-eating beasts in the sea, as long as you stay where you are, you will definitely be attacked, but if you continue to move forward, the highly toxic sea water and water pressure will continue to flow. oppresses body and mind.

I don't know the direction or the goal, whether I stop or go forward, I am so confused, I don't know whether to muster up the courage to continue exploring this boundless black sea, or stop and hesitate in fear.

This is what Joshua and Goliath felt at this moment.

As a native of the abyss and the king of demons, Goliath can vaguely sense the axis of the abyss, which is the core of the abyss Nirvana—in other words, any powerful 'demon' can sense that place.

Because that is where they belong, the world is dead, and civilization no longer exists. Demons are such a race that has lost everything. Their birth is not blessed, but cursed. Broken souls are condensed, and they are born with spirits, which bring them powerful talents and powers, but the spirits come from countless dead who died in the abyss.

Countless souls of the dead who should have returned to the maelstrom of creation.

All demons have more or less an instinctive impulse. They want to go down the Styx and explore towards the end of the Styx—Goliath is no exception. It originally thought it was its curiosity But now it seems that it is only because its soul instinctively wants to return to the cycle of all things, and wants to truly 'die'.

What's more, it is the lord of the abyss, and the existence of the will of the abyss magnifies this desire even more. It is precisely because of this that almost all powerful demons and abyss lords in the past wanted to explore the deepest part of the abyss.

However, after guessing this point, the demon king's remnant soul was not discouraged. It relied on its sense of the axis of the abyss to guide Joshua's direction and path. Since it can help the other party, then this instinct has significance.

However, this kind of guidance disappeared after Joshua and Goliath passed through the traps of the final star.

Behind the black hole trap, the space seems to have lost its meaning. Behind it is the distorted gravitational space that just passed through, but just take a step forward, and the trap disappears. the existence of any black holes.

One person and one demon wandered in the endless darkness, not knowing where to go.

"Perhaps, where we are now, we have already reached the scope of the great vortex of creation in the past."

Even though the blessings of divine power around him have begun to shatter layer by layer, and the divine power of the God of Order and Destruction in the outermost circle has completely dissipated, Joshua can still think calmly at this critical moment. He protects the remnant soul of the demon king in his left hand The palm of the forearm shielded it from the whispers of countless dead worlds in the chaos: "If the maelstrom of creation is still there, you who are still in this position will probably be wiped out-the dead demon naturally does not need any instinctive guidance. "

It's rare for him to tell a cold joke, but it's a pity that the devil is not a guy with a sense of humor.

"No, I really can't sense anything!"

Not as calm as Joshua, the demon king's remnant soul turned impatiently. Its shadowy body sometimes swelled into a mass of spikes, and sometimes shrunk into a small dot, but no matter how hard Goliath tried, it couldn't sense his own soul. The 'longing' for the axis of the abyss in .

The warriors are right, they are indeed located in the core part of the abyss now - it can be seen from the surrounding darkness that even the divine power has been rapidly eroded, and no light can be seen, the negative energy and chaotic density here have already It has reached an unbelievable level, perhaps a dozen stars exploded here on the spot, and the light released by the supernova cannot illuminate even a distance of one light second.

snap! !

There was a harsher sound than glass shattering, and the light green energy fragments were swallowed by the darkness. It was the sound of the divine power blessing of the God of Law and Freedom breaking. Feather's blessing, there is no way to make the divine power barrier last for a few more seconds.

It can be seen that the light green divine power was imprinted on the armor, and the wing rune emerged, making Joshua's speed a little faster.

But now, what soldiers need is not speed, but a direction that can directly point to the core of the seal of the rebirth plan.

"There are still six layers of divine power barriers left... probably can last for more than ten minutes."

After estimating the speed at which the barrier was eroded by the forces of chaos, Joshua frowned, watching the dense cracks begin to appear on the light golden barrier of the God of Wisdom and Choice, and he knew that it was meaningless to continue to stay: "Just In this way, choose a direction at random, if the erosion of chaos becomes faster, then it is the correct direction, and if it slows down, it is the opposite."

Just do what he said, Joshua immediately began to move with all his strength - although the fighter is huge and heavy, his speed is definitely not slow. Moving at the speed of galactic movement.

Soon, the light golden barrier of divine power shattered, and the light spots were swallowed by the surrounding darkness.

But Joshua, who frowned, stopped slowly, and the giant god looked around, but did not perceive any change in the concentration of chaos around him.

"Can't it... It seems that this place is similar to the void, the speed of matter is meaningless, and the judgment of the coordinate change is similar to the energy level, or something else..."

Since the first plan failed, it is necessary to think about the next one. Joshua is not discouraged. He has long known that the most difficult part of this trip may not be 'breaking the core seal' and 'purifying chaos'. Things that only need to be destroyed - he is so good at this thing, there are even seven or eight drafts in the plan.

What is really difficult is to find the target. Thinking of this, the soldier couldn't help clenching his right fist.

There is not much time left, and the divine power barrier bestowed by the Seven Gods and the Dragon God cannot last long. You can see that the blessings of the five-color Dragon God are constantly distorted and swaying under the erosion of darkness, like the surface of a lake cleared by heavy rain , countless ripples spread. Originally, the divine power of a true god can be regarded as indestructible and indestructible in both the material world and the spiritual world. They belong to the highest category in terms of energy properties, complexity and personality. It needs a thousand times the reserves of the opponent.

But now, what surrounds Joshua is more than chaos that is a thousand times stronger than divine power?

Tens of millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions.

The energy level gap is too ridiculous, so that the divine power will be swallowed by chaos.

"Is this the world's galaxy-level evil god... just the murmur before birth, the chaotic disturbance of instinct before awakening, can interfere with the existence of a galaxy..."

It is precisely because he knows that he is actually in the body of the evil god, so Joshua can't help feeling the power of the unknown evil god - if the other party really awakens, then I am afraid that the entire galaxy of the world will be swallowed by it, even if it is In the past, the God of Abundance, who was able to create a rift in the galaxy and create a maelstrom of void just by passing by, might not be stronger than him.

——It must be destroyed before it awakens!

Joshua suddenly woke up. Just now, he suddenly began to feel the strength of the enemy, and even felt decadent in his heart... There is no doubt that this is the reaction of the erosion of chaos! As he approached, the chaotic disturbance of the unknown evil god became more and more powerful. Although he had no such thing as a soul that could be disturbed, chaos could also erode matter, making his thinking organs run out of harmony, making wrong choices and actions. judge!

Thinking of this, the soldier immediately took out the holy object bestowed by the God of Wisdom and Choice, the 'Future Pointer'.

Relic of the God of Order and Destruction 'Circular Hourglass', Relic of the God of Law and Liberty 'Feather of Liberty', Relic of the God of Wisdom and Choice 'Future Pointer', Relic of the God of Love and Decay 'Beloved' The photo frame', the sacred object of the God of Life, the "Cocoon of Life", and the sacred object of the God of Protection and Progress, the "Guardian Codex". , can also strengthen Joshua's ability in a certain aspect.

The cyclic hourglass can make Joshua's armor have a cyclical repair ability similar to rewinding time, and the feather of liberty can make the user break free from the shackles of almost all sealing circles, and can also increase the speed.

But the effect of the "future pointer" is very subtle - it can perform a super calculation with divine power, and give the holder a future "revelation". As for the result of the oracle...it will be the same as the future, who knows Woolen cloth.

"I don't know whether the divine power of 'Ze Ming' can directly 'tell' me the location of the core of the seal... This kind of completely unknown and luck-based thing is really not reassuring."

Joshua doesn't like to entrust the future to the so-called "luck". He has always been a man who holds his destiny in his hands, but now, since he has no other choice, the warrior will not insist on this point.

Thinking of this, he wanted to smash the future pointer in his hand.

"etc."

But at the same time, the remnant soul of the demon king Goliath, who had been keeping quiet since just now, suddenly said, "I probably thought of a way to find the axis of the abyss."

"Say it."

Joshua didn't say 'really? ''I do not believe. ’ This kind of nonsense, he directly asked: "What way."

"It's very simple. Give me the pointer to the future."

The demon king's remnant soul was peacefully held in the palm of the warrior. For some reason, Goliath, who had stopped being anxious and fearful from just now, seemed very confident at this moment, and said in a deep voice, "I need it to strengthen... a kind of Premonition."

The effects of the six holy objects, when Goliath was held in Joshua's palm, were known through the flow of information about the other party's acceptance of the holy objects, and the Seven Gods did not hide the effects of these holy objects. Although it sounds precious, it is just a consumable that requires a lot of effort to prepare.

Joshua did hesitate about the request of the demon king's remnant soul. He doesn't believe in "luck", and the future pointer seems to be a product of luck, but even so, handing over a god's sacred object to the devil to deal with... ...Although the other party has no reason to cheat and appears to be very confident, it is really unreasonable to do so.

However, Joshua is not someone who doesn't do certain things for such boring reasons as 'unreasonable'. Now one person and one demon are located in the deepest part of the abyss, and he chooses to trust each other.

Joshua handed the future pointer to Goliath in the palm of his left hand, and the other party jumped on him without hesitation—it could be seen, the shadow spread, and the divine power pointer was taken by the original holder with the acquiescence of the original holder. Leah occupies.

"...You actually trust me so much."

After doing all this, the remnant soul of the demon king who turned into a shadow whispered in disbelief: "It's more than once."

"You haven't lied, why don't I believe you."

Joshua said calmly, staring at his palm: "Tell me, what is the method? You said before that you can no longer feel the axis of the abyss."

"...Yeah, I really can't feel it anymore, but I found the reason why I can't feel it."

After a few seconds of silence, a demon's pupil appeared in the shadow of Goliath's incarnation, and it looked into the eyes of the giant god: "As a life, my thinking itself will be sensitive to some things that are too small Cause disturbance, just like the gaze of a god is enough to affect a person's fate, I just live, as a demon's life, it will affect many things."

"...You mean." Joshua paused and said in a low voice.

"Yes, as long as I die—this piece of remnant soul will die on its own, then the soul fragments that make up my soul and belong to the abyss will naturally fly towards the axis of the 'real' abyss."

Saying so, the shadow that made up the demon king's remnant soul actually began to burn slowly, and in the crimson hellfire, Goliath's rather happy laughter could be heard: "The me now is nothing more than the soul fragment of the original body Forget it, it doesn’t matter if you die—I should also be grateful for the erosion of chaos, it made me understand that I, who can’t guide the direction at this time, is just a drag for you, it reminds me of death, and it also makes me understand the reason. "

——Death is not terrible. The terrible thing is that death has no value.

Self-burning, urging the power of the demon king's remnant soul to the maximum, at the same time, Goliath thought so in his heart.

In many cases, the eyes of creatures can only stay in front of them, just like wild beasts only care about hunger and the desire to give birth, the same is true for demons, but demons have more powerful power than wild beasts. But at the end of the day, it's just a short-sighted beast, and life and death mean nothing.

But are humans, elves, dwarves, intelligent beings from other worlds, even gods, any better than demons? Is their life and death more important than demons?

of course not.

Devil King Goliath, I have seen too many little gods in the wild world. They think they are supreme, but they can only see one world. They suppress civilization and restrain the development of technology, so that civilization can never grow, and can only be controlled by them—— —their life and death are meaningless, they just exist for the sake of existence.

This kind of god, the devil Goliath has killed several times, is too weak, whether it is vision or strength, it is so weak and boring.

but.

The Mycroft world is different.

At least, the gods in Mycroft's world, and this person in front of him, are different from those boring little gods.

Their eyes can see the entire world of galaxies and even the multiverse. When they look up at the starry sky, what they think in their hearts is not 'sentiment', but 'desire'.

Among them, there is even a god who is willing to sacrifice his infinite and immortal life for countless worlds and civilizations that do not know his name at all.

Perhaps only such a death can be regarded as valuable.

"Many demons have said it, including Helm and Saruka. They said that I am greedy and selfish. For the sake of the sixth abyss, I can destroy other worlds without hesitation."

The demon king's remnant soul stared at the expressionless giant god in front of him, and it laughed softly: "They are right, I am a greedy and selfish devil. But if there is no world galaxy, where should my sixth abyss be placed? Woolen cloth?"

——The sacred object of the God of Wisdom and Choice, the 'Future Pointer'.

—if you could tell the future.

——Let the fragments after my death drift away towards the place the person in front of me wants to go, towards the proper destination of my soul!

With the devil's laughter, the soul ignited, and the powerful shadow power activated the future pointer.

The light golden divine power pointer began to rotate violently.

Possibilities of the future, wishes of the user... Originally, it was necessary to calculate countless complex information, to draw pointers to the possibilities of other people and other things around the owner, but now only one possibility, one future, needs to be calculated.

The emptiness and chaos without anything, and the future called 'death', are so clear and simple that it doesn't take long to come up with the answer.

It can be seen that the golden pointer wrapped in shadows began to gradually stop rotating after violent rotation. It originally rotated randomly forward and reverse, and stopped at twelve o'clock.

snap.

At this moment, the future pointer shattered.

The oracle came.

Goliath's remnant soul was also shattered.

The light golden spots, mixed with the black and red soul fragments of the demon king's remnant soul, passed through the chaos lightly. They burned blazingly, and turned into a huge arrow pointer in the dark chaos, which broke through the extremely dark abyss. The spatial structure of the universe 'reveals' the path to the future for the warriors.

Goliath, dissipate.

And the road leading to the core seal of the rebirth plan was also clearly pointed out.

Without emotion, without sigh, without pause, without any other actions, Joshua, who had been prepared for a long time, directly followed the path of the soul that was constantly breaking and melting, and rushed towards his goal at the fastest speed. go.

As the giant god charged at full speed, the chaotic sea of ​​darkness suddenly exploded with thunder, and the vortex raged. The chaotic sea, which was originally as quiet as death, suddenly turned into a raging raging tide, and the soldiers embraced the frontal attack without fear. The coming deep chaos and endless high pressure broke out with all strength to defeat all the resistance in front of him.

Yes, the Seven Gods left, and the remnant soul of the Demon King dissipated.

He has no resistance, no drag.

Destroy the seal and take back the future.

It is this very moment.
