Soul of Burning Steel

Starfall 841, February 17th, Hergamos Empire in the north.

Ten days have passed since the light of the emperor Israelden shone on the world. After a week of grand celebrations and unknown political negotiations behind the scenes, with the assistance of two legendary powerhouses, the two The prince Di Moore temporarily assumed part of the rights and positions of the emperor, while the remaining part was handed over to the powerful faction in the court, mainly the empress.

Obviously, the conflict between the second prince and the queen is very serious, and it has not been alleviated much until now, but at such an important juncture, both parties know that intrigue is meaningless. Although Di Moore is defaulted as the heir, there are other The princes and daughters have the right to inherit, especially the eldest prince. Although he seems to be unknown on weekdays, he is rich in wings. He has deep roots in both the nobles and the army. In order to fight against his brothers and sisters, Di Moore really needs a queen. A series of political strength brought.

A Jiyi naturally cannot be the lord of the entire northern empire. Before Di Moore becomes a legend, he may be criticized, but these are just trivial matters, because as long as the two legendary powerhouses are present, they will express their gratitude to Di Moore. support, then in the entire empire, no one would dare to raise a 'question'.

What's more, the emperor of the empire, Israel Diamond, was not like those previous emperors who had to abdicate because of his death or decline in strength—on the contrary, Israel Diamond had to abdicate only because he became Too strong, the position of Emperor Ling is no longer worthy of him.

As long as the sublimated existence in the boundless heaven is still conceived in the cocoon of divine power and does not die, everything will not deviate from the track of order.

At this time, apart from the fact that the Holy City of Three Mountains, which is the political center, seemed a little anxious because of the emperor's ascension to the gods, the common people in other provinces of the empire, and even all the believers in the "God of Power and Justice" in the world, felt incomparably anxious. Delighted—the former was freed from the almost ubiquitous exploitation precisely because of Israel’s Skynet system, and the grand celebration also exempted farmers from almost all taxes this year, while the latter felt that it belonged exclusively to power and The God of Justice's 'Divinity of Power' is gradually returning. Although its reaction is somewhat different from before, at least their strength is gradually improving.

Of course, good people can be happy, and so can bad people.

Because of Israel's temporary departure, all kinds of evil forces that were deterred by him for three or four years and dare not take a breath are gradually showing signs of resurgence - because time has not passed for too long, let alone lasted for a generation People, so when these villains found out that they were doing evil, there would no longer be a divine fire from the sky to burn themselves to ashes, and in some remote and hidden corners of the empire, some crimes began to brew again.

However, what greeted these people was a dimensional blade that was extremely sharp and could not see any signs at all.

"What are they thinking?"

At this time, on the East Banter Plateau, on the throne of detection high above the empire, Nostradamus holds the core terminal in his hand, controls the Skynet network, and observes every move of all abnormal events in the entire empire. The sent warrior took a winged girl and stood behind the old mage, listening to the other party complaining about the stupidity of those criminals.

"Joshua, do you think these people have any brains? Do they think that a legendary mage of the time-space system can do better than a legendary dragon knight in casting spells through space? Ha, I forgot, Israel doesn't ride dragons, he just keeps pets."

When he said this, Nostradamus turned his head, squinted at Joshua, and said in a low voice, "Yes, just like you, you all like to keep dragons as pets."

"Because if it's just bad, they don't necessarily commit crimes. They will try to enter the financial industry, become unscrupulous businessmen or unscrupulous lawyers, and some people will even try to engage in lottery and gambling. crime."

For the old mage's slander, Joshua, who stood behind the throne and watched Nostradamus accurately kill all the criminals, shrugged, causing No. 3 sitting on his shoulder to sway, and Joshua calmed down He said: "Only bad and stupid people commit crimes. Also, I don't keep Hei as a pet, I know how to ride it. Last time I rode Hei to go around Xishan. Very different from Israel."

"Hey, according to what you said, Israel also 'rides' dragons." The old mage told a dirty joke, causing No. 3 to raise his eyelashes slightly, but Joshua Adam couldn't hear him, and quickly He gave him a suggestion: "Master, I think you need to kill those criminals in a more obvious way as much as possible, add at least a little elemental special effect, don't be so silent-always use a traceless Dimensional Slash If they don't, they don't even know that this is a trial given to them by Skynet."

"It's a good idea, too."

Muttering, Nostradamus thought for a while, added a little light particle effect to his Dimensional Slash, and then continued to inspect the entire empire by himself, while Joshua continued to take No. 3 and watched from behind. The opponent observes each light curtain.

Since Israel received the news of Joshua's calculation ten days ago and embarked on the "Road to God", everyone knew that the situation in the world would change because of this.

Inheriting the title of "God of Power and Justice", if Israel succeeds in ascension to the gods, he will undoubtedly become one of the seven gods of the human race, gaining unimaginable power for ordinary people. It is a powerful legendary powerhouse. After becoming a god, he will quickly master his own power to make up for the high-end combat power of the Mycroft civilization lost due to the passing of the god of power 'Xing Zheng' of the previous generation.

But now, Israel has not yet finished his process of ascension to God, and the cocoon of light formed by divine power is stirring in the boundless heaven. According to the six gods, this is the means of sublimation to achieve the true god, relying on the power left by the previous god , the successor can quickly cross the boundary between "extraordinary" and "god", and master the power of the great source of the multiverse through divinity.

Of course, this "soon" is only relatively speaking, and it will take a few months to a year for Israel to change from the cocoon of light to a real god, and the length of time does not matter. Any distinction between good and bad is just pure luck.

"The main thing is to see when he can understand the power he has."

When Joshua and other legendary powerhouses asked the Six Gods about this information, the God of Law and Freedom answered their questions kindly: "Short time does not mean quick mastery, and long time does not mean deep understanding. A finite time is nothing to an infinite time."

This kind of explanation does not actually explain the reasons in detail. Some people think about it and seem to understand something, while some people don't understand why, but it doesn't affect anything.

At that time, Joshua suddenly felt a movement in his heart.

He began to understand why Yue Ai, the "God of Love and Decline", said that he and Igor were so strong that they didn't want them to become gods.

In other words, he found another explanation behind this sentence.

In fact, Yue Ai back then probably didn’t know why he said this sentence. He probably just thought that becoming a god meant protecting all beings in the world of Mycroft, and sacrificing for the entire civilization just like Xing Zheng did. himself, and put himself in danger of being swallowed by the great source at any time... Although the power of God is indeed extremely powerful, it is not unmatched. Because of this, Yue Ai did not want Yi Geer and A strong man like Joshua, who has power comparable to a god even if he does not become a god, jumped into this bound road.

But in Joshua's view, there is no obvious distinction between gods and legends. Especially during the Era of Glory, the fighting power of gods is obviously higher than that of legends, and so is their status.

Low-level subordinate gods, such as the river god under the goddess of the earth, his power is not strong even in legends, but when he reaches the level of the main god, because of the powerful nature of the divine power and the almost unlimited battery life, he can Solidly suppressing multiple legendary high-level powerhouses in the general sense, they can even confront evil gods head-on.

In that era, gods should be revered. Although it was difficult to advance, it didn't mean that it was impossible to advance. It would never be like this, and it turned out to be a vortex that the strong shouldn't fall into.

And to understand why, it's actually quite simple.

Because the 'First Fire' is moving away from this fact.

When Yue Ai said this, I'm afraid it was just a casual remark, but this remark gave the correct answer-divine power is the power from the primordial fire, and it is the infinite power that communicates with the great source of the multiverse. And powerful, naturally, is also bound by this.

Now, knowing that the primordial fire is shrinking, moving away, and may even be disconnected from the world galaxy, and sinking into the darkness of nowhere, it is a gamble to become a god related to the power of the primordial fire , No one knows whether there will be a problem with the initial fire, but if there is a problem, all gods will lose their source of power, and even fall due to the shaking of the foundation of life forms.

But the legend is different. The self-transformation of the life form of the legend will certainly cause big problems, and it may even lead to such things as being strong but not long-lived, but no matter what, the legend is based on the power of life itself. The fire goes out, and the saga won't have any major problems until the multiverse is plunged into total dead darkness.

Even, extremely powerful legends can survive the extinguishment of the initial fire and the silence and darkness after the destruction of the multiverse, and wait until the next reincarnation comes.

"This is going too far."

Withdrawing his thoughts, Joshua shook his head. He chuckled lightly, then turned his head and looked down at the entire Banerte Plateau.

Located between the Western Mountains and the Northern Empire, a large part of the vast plateau has now been turned into a huge steel base. It is the void that Joshua built for the empire with the power of steel after achieving the legend. The battleship production line, thanks to it, now the void battleship has become an important means of transportation for the northern empire to explore the void and travel back and forth to other worlds.

A few years have passed by, and under the guidance of various data brought by the integrated information base, and even the design drawings of the void warships of the Era of Glory, the Imperial Royal Mages Association has deduced its own warship design level to a very high level. The point—they didn't copy the original picture of the battleship in the Era of Glory, but tried to analyze and deconstruct it, and apply the advantages of it to the battleship in the Era of Starfall that they can understand and repair.

Originally, such high-intensity research required a large number of mages to study and study, but because many professional colleges similar to the College of Winterhold were established in the past few years, there are already a large number of new spellcaster researchers who can join the relevant at work. They may not have the profound knowledge of the old-school mages, but after years of study and study, they will not be too far behind the forefront of the field in terms of professionalism.

Joshua's vision of the power of steel was opened, and he could see that experimental warships were being assembled and completed in the magic dock in the underground of the Banerte Plateau. They might not actually serve. It's a waste of resources, but there is no doubt that every Void Battleship that is actually in operation can bring a lot of precious information to the entire design team.

——For example, a scientific research ship that is specially used for detection and can scan the world through the world barrier.

——For example, it is specially used for construction, and one body is equivalent to the engineering ship of the entire magic energy industry construction team.

——For example, an exploration frigate that is specially used to explore the interior of the world and can also fight in the void.

——For another example, it is specially used for assistance, which can release a large amount of buff magic aura, replenish the shield and energy of the void battleship, and strengthen the armored battlefield logistics ship.

All kinds of things, many prototypes of warships are undergoing experiments, such as warships like void cruisers and destroyers, which are specially designed for void battles. For example, they are equipped with the strongest firepower of the existing Mycroft civilization. Equivalent to the original combat effectiveness of a fleet of 'Dreadnought-class battleship'.

The design of these warships is different from the concept of the era of glory. To perfect them, either it will take a long time, or it will consume a lot of resources to carry out real ship experiments.

At this time, I have to mention the important role of the Empire’s Foreign Exploration Department. If there were no metal worlds discovered by various teams at the beginning, and there were no high-quality alloy mines originating from the black mist, in terms of the world resources of Mycroft alone, It is absolutely impossible to support such a large-scale industrialization progress of the Northern Empire.

"No. 3, it seems that with our current mana technology, it is enough to create a mountain-like mobile city like your original body in Karlis World."

Taking the artificial intelligence girl away from the observation throne hanging high in the sky, Joshua and No. 3 flew over the plateau. The two walked above the clouds and observed every detail of the battleship production line. The soldier said with some emotion: " In ten years, we've gotten to this point."

"Actually, the magic energy technology in the Mycroft world has long surpassed that in the Karlis world."

In this regard, No. 3 shook her head lightly, her eyes reflected a frigate that was slowly rising into the sky, flying towards the end of the world, and preparing to go to the void, and then said softly: "We condense the technology of one world, Only a few primitive void battleships can be built, we have exhausted the last strength of the entire civilization, and this has created a mobile city like mine."

"And you are just a country... It can even be said that only a mage organization can accomplish such a great cause... Joshua, this is incomparable."

Joshua didn't say much about this... In fact, what he wanted to praise was the courage of the people of Karlis who put all their energy into their civilization without hesitation when they were facing destruction. Even the evil gods themselves, they did not forget to resist, and even dared to raise their weapons.

Warriors have always admired that.

"Joshua, the current magic net is full of information about the design of void warships and the 'Continent of Disputes'... Don't talk about your civilization game, does the Mycroft civilization really plan to form it in the near future? A void fleet, going to the world galaxy where the shepherds are originally located?"

Without continuing to discuss the topic of Carliss World, No. 3 turned his head with some doubts and asked Joshua—because of the popularity of the Continent of Disputes, Joshua doesn't need No. 3's assistance all the time to think normally, let alone Some things are communicated directly through spirits, and No. 3 doesn't know what decisions the warrior and other legendary powerhouses made.

As for the question on No. 3, Joshua nodded seriously: "That's right, we have no time to procrastinate. In order to find out the reason for the stagnation of the world's galaxy, we can't just stay in one place, we have to go to other star fields. Only then can we really find out the reason for this mutation.”

"Actually, I came here this time not to cooperate with Nostradamus to activate the Skynet system... The real purpose of my coming here is to build a tower."

"A tower?" Hearing this, No. 3 couldn't help being really curious. She blinked, lowered her voice as if she was about to do something bad, and asked softly, "What tower are you... wanting to build?"

"That's no ordinary tower."

In this regard, Joshua lowered his head and looked down at the entire Banerte Plateau from above the clouds. Then he raised his head and looked at the void that was so high that the sky was not visible. The soldier showed a smile. On the ground, Joshua's voice resounded through the sky, and he said boldly: "The tower I want to build will soar into the sky and run through the world. In the past thousand years, no other building can compare with it. In the next thousand years Everyone will be proud of it."

"Its name is Babel, No. 3. It is a 'tower of Babel' that connects the sky and the earth, and runs through the void and the world!"
