Soul of Burning Steel

Around Mycroft Continent Far South Sea Dragon City.

The gray clouds poured heavy rain on the ground, making the sky and the earth into a haze, and thunder roared in the layers of cumulonimbus clouds.

The sea sage Faina stood in the backyard of her own courtyard. She raised her head and looked at the sky. She couldn't see the expression on her face covered by the veil of psionic energy—but such a small action made Hai Long, who was originally thundering and lightning in the rainy season The pause button seemed to be pressed around the city, the rainstorm stopped suddenly, the storm subsided, and the world that was originally filled with noisy rain and thunder suddenly became extremely silent.

"My lord, are you in a bad mood?"

A middle-aged maid standing behind Faina stepped forward and brought a cup of precious high-level magic potion to the legendary powerhouse. This magic potion called 'Heart of Rock' was originally an untold legend of the Temple of the Earth. Secret, it needs to use various precious magic materials as the source of absorption, which has the effect of strengthening the mind and certain magic resistance, but not long ago, all the big forces and extraordinary powerhouses released a large number of originally top-secret secret books and formulas, And Heart of the Rock is among them.

Although the current rock heart is also rare, it is much more common than it was at the beginning, and it can only be regarded as a luxury. Thanks to it, there are many gifted psychics within the scope of Sea Dragon City alone. It was discovered. After all, middle-class families with a little spare money bought a bottle, trying their luck for their children, and seeing if they could join the legendary local strongman in the future.

As a member of the Earth Temple, a descendant of the God's bloodline, and the most powerful one among them, Faina was raised with this potion by the elders of her lineage since she was a child, so even now This magic potion has no effect on her at all, but smelling this familiar smell can remind Faina of the warm and reassuring childhood in the past, and it can also calm her down from her confusion.

"Yes." Faina replied lazily, "It's not that I'm in a bad mood, it's just..."

"It's just a little bit of a loss, isn't it?"

The maid smiled and put on a fire silk gauze dress for Faina. Although as a legendary powerhouse, Faina didn't need this kind of clothing to keep out the cold at all, but it had been with her for decades. It's better to say it's a good friend's habit, and Faina let the other party tidy up her clothes, feeling a little warmth in her heart.

After a moment of silence, Faina suddenly said, "Laya."

"You said, if you suddenly know a very bad news, so bad that there is almost no way to solve it, you have no way to start, and you don't know how to face it, what should you do?"

When she said this, although Faina still couldn't see her expression because of the psychic veil, anyone could tell that this powerful psychic who mastered qualitative transformation and could unite herself with heaven and earth, At this time, I was falling into deep confusion and doubt: "Laya, you said, if there is no road ahead - even if you try your best to open a road on the rugged road full of disasters, but the road of this road The future will inevitably come to an end...what should I do?"

As for the maid named Laya, after hearing Faina's confused words, which were more self-doubt than inquiries, her expression became obviously serious.

She is the same age as Faina, and grew up together. Faina has become a legendary powerhouse with an ageless face, while Laya's hair is still a little gray at this time, no matter what angle you look at it. La Yadu is just an ordinary silver-ranked transcendent, who was piled up alive with resources, and is obviously not in the same world as the legendary Faina.

But just because he is such an ordinary person, and because he gets along with the legend day and night, Laya knows that even the legendary powerhouse will be excited, joyful, confused, and sad. The legendary powerhouse is a super life, but it is still life, the same With emotions, they also occasionally feel overwhelmed and need the advice and reassurance of others.

"grown ups."

So, after thinking for a while, Laya said softly: "Although I don't know what you are worrying about and how bad the news is, but the thing that worries you is a disaster that will happen immediately ?"

"No." Faina shook her head, she was still looking at the sky, the surging gloomy color was just like the mood of the legendary strongman, she replied in a low voice: "Even if it will come, it will be a long time later— —Anyway, decades later, we still have a huge hurdle to cross, and if we can’t even cross that, we will have no future.”

"Just, Raya."

As she said that, Faina turned around, and she took the hand of her friend who was an ordinary person, and walked slowly in the courtyard, while walking, she said helplessly: "I know, you will definitely Say, 'Since it's so far away, what's the point of worrying now?' I also know that you will secretly laugh at me and say, 'I'll be dead at that time, and no matter how big a disaster is, it has nothing to do with me, an ordinary person' , use my own life to distract my attention, and use this distress to make me temporarily forget about greater distress."

"But this disaster is different from the past ones. It is different from the raging murlocs, the tsunami, the disaster of the mad dragon, and the invaders from another world... What I am worried about is not the 'disaster' itself , but the decadence of 'struggling is meaningless' was born in my heart."

Speaking of this, Faina sighed deeply. In her mind, a large number of documents and data sent to her by a certain soldier, guesses about the current situation, and a lot of arguments for guesswork and analysis emerged again.

—Joshua Van Radcliffe.

Why do you always give such horrific and hopeless pictures of the future?

Why can you always be keenly aware of the shadow that is in the darkness but deeper than the darkness?

Sometimes, even as a legendary powerhouse, even if he has a tough heart that will never yield in the face of all disasters, he still feels powerless in the face of real despair.

Faina knows that she can face any powerful enemy without fear, even any evil god, because she knows that after fighting bravely, even if she dies, the darkness will eventually pass, and the light will definitely come ——Even if human beings are destined to face failure, at least they have struggled and made their last efforts for the arrival of the light.

But this time... what Joshua told them was the extremely dark reality of 'maybe there is no light at all'.

"Even if we defeat the evil gods who will come decades later, so what...the future is doomed to be dark, and there is not even a solution. Even if we imitate the sages and march towards the center of the multiverse, but according to Our strength will inevitably fall into that endless time trap..."

Moreover, even if you successfully go to the center of the multiverse, so what?

Why does the galaxy of the world stand still? Why does the initial fire 'shrink' and 'far away'? Why has no new world galaxy been born in this multiverse? Behind the scenes... Does it exist? If it exists, what exactly is it, what is its purpose, and how can it be overcome?

There are too many whys, even if human beings try their best, they can't solve even one of them, and there is no way to start, which is really disturbing.

"It's better not to let me know... In that case, even if I'm kept in the dark, I can at least take courage from the ignorant..."

Faina murmured in a low voice, and she laughed at herself.

And just when Faina laughed at herself.

All the legendary powerhouses in the world of Mycroft fell into a similar silence.

What Joshua revealed to them was a future that was too gloomy. Compared with this, even absolute despair is considered kind, at least it hides the appearance of the end. Regret and painful death.

Through the metal dragon god and the star map information that anyone can look up in the unified database, Joshua coldly revealed to everyone the emptiness and horror of the vision of the future: the world's galaxies stopped rotating, and the world of Mycroft not long ago It also fell into stagnation, the initial fire shrank, and no new world galaxy was born. Even the void behemoths and ancient dragons were nothing but the repair system bred by the galaxy to save itself.

But even so, the galaxy will eventually usher in extinction, just like the world galaxy where the mother world of the dragon clan of the astral world is located, after a long time has passed, it will become the infinite space between the Mycroft world and other world galaxies. Endless dark wreckage.

In such despair, even the attack of the evil god seems to be acceptable. After all, the evil god is also a physical enemy. No matter whether it can be defeated or not, at least it can fight back.

But now, what all legendary powerhouses are facing is nothingness.

——No hope, no future, everything is gray and meaningless, no matter how blazing the flames are, it will eventually turn into ashes, fall into eternal sleep, or wake up in despair and resentment, and become a member of darkness .

On the top of the White Pagoda, Frederick looked around at the clouds and the high sky alone. In the dark night with only stars and moonlight, the legendary mage silently looked up at the stars in the sky. He didn't know which one of those stars was early. It just goes out, the silver glow I see now, is it the brilliance it bloomed not long ago, or the brilliance it emitted hundreds of millions of years ago.

In the deep sea, the murloc high priest is engraving an inscription on the rock wall of the seabed alone. This is Godard's only hobby for a hundred years. He is used to inscribing a summary of all the important things he has experienced with inscriptions, but today, everyone The priest was unable to make a move for a long time. It wanted to start several times, but the hands that were raised several times were all lowered with a sigh.

Deep in the ground, after thirty-two years, after creating the "God Hammer Gundarlan", the dwarf craftsman did it himself for the first time, lifted the hammer head, entered his long-closed forging room, and began to treat the burned red The metal block was beaten again and again. Flo Ironfinger will do this kind of work every time he feels his heart is shaking, but from the noisy voices coming from the forging room, it can be heard that the heart of the master craftsman is difficult to calm down this time.

Above the sky, in the laboratory, whether it is traveling in the void, or debugging in the magic net, whether it is in the holy mountain fortress, or the general monitoring hub in the sky, all legends, gods, and all the worlds of Mycroft The strong fell into deep contemplation because of a message sent by a man.

——Of course, the legendary powerhouses can convince themselves in this way. They can say that the future that must be destroyed is at least hundreds of millions of years later. They are still worried about the invasion of evil gods decades later. What is the point of worrying about this? ?

Of course they can say, take a step, watch a step, there is no need to scare yourself, no need to worry about unnecessary things.

They can be like ostriches, when all this does not exist - anyway, there is no evidence to prove that there is any powerful existence that destroyed those world galaxies, and the same is true behind the scenes. Maybe those world galaxies are destroyed naturally, And this is the natural law of the multiverse? If so, when the world galaxy is destroyed, it is hard to say whether human beings will exist or not.

Yes, they can.

But no one will.

Israel temporarily cut off the main server of the Skynet monitoring system. He stood up from the throne, and then looked down at his country from the monitoring throne at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters.

The natural teacher and the elf queen stood hand in hand on the branch of the mother tree of eternal life, caressing every branch and leaf of it carefully, dredging the energy circuit for this ancient life that witnessed the development of the starfall elf civilization.

Eagle was rarely sitting in the prayer room—the six gods were also thinking at this time, but the pope didn't intend to communicate with his own gods at first. He just stared at the portraits of the popes hanging around the prayer room without taking his eyes off them.

Nobody 'runs away'.

Because they are the leaders of civilization.

——Ordinary people can ignore, ignore, and convince themselves that danger may not come, even if darkness is bound to come, but at least they can enjoy a complete life, and it will not have any impact on themselves.

However, as legendary powerhouses, as beings closest to immortality in this world, as leaders of an empire, a race, and a religion, and as representatives of the extraordinary civilization of Mycroft, they cannot deceive themselves like this, they must think, How to deal with these problems, how to solve the inevitable end in the future—they know very well that if Joshua's guess is correct, and there is one or a group of black hands behind all these weirdnesses, then the present is also at a standstill The world of Mycroft is the most dangerous moment in thousands of years.

Like other destroyed galaxies, they have entered the hands of the mastermind behind the scenes-whether survival or destruction depends on the decisions of other beings, not their own efforts.

It is precisely because of this that I was powerless, desperate, fell into deep confusion, and began to fall into real meditation.

At this time, Joshua, who was in the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Field, did not know the reactions of the legendary powerhouses.

He just floated next to the Yintian Zhihui, chatting with the will of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground Commander without saying a word.

Of course, the soldier knows how depressing the enthusiasm of the people he discovered. Of course he knows that some people, even some civilizations, will be directly knocked down by this kind of information... In the battle against the evil god of death, he had already Have seen too many similar situations.

——Crazy in the face of a huge meteorite that cannot be crushed, a civilization that self-destructed due to social riots before the world-ending impact came.

——In the face of the chaotic family, they directly gave up resistance, and turned the whole family into a civilization of chaotic food.

——In the face of the fact that the sun is about to go out hundreds of years later, without making any efforts and progress, it is a civilization that is naturally and calmly ushering in destruction.

There are really too many civilizations that fell in the dark, devoured by despair and collapsed. They were abandoned like burnt torches and became dead memories.

And the Mycroft civilization, as well as the powerhouses in the civilization, are they also a member of it?
