Soul of Burning Steel

"Will this deter local forces?"

In the world where the sun was just lit up, Faina, who was holding the camera rune and followed the flight all the way, put down the psionic crystal in her hand, and she asked with some doubts: "Although Joshua, your power is indeed exaggerated... ...It would be better to say that it is too exaggerated, but according to Yi Geer's words, there should be a few existences of the same level as you in the alien galaxy."

"Those local civilizations that are not as good as yours may decide not to fight us because of this video. After all, power is here, and no matter how vicious people are, they will be afraid—but for those powerful civilizations, the more you show your power, the more they will The more I want to kill you at the very beginning."

"It is definitely impossible to deter those powerful local forces."

The sound of the giant god embracing the energy sun shook the world. Under Faina's gaze, Joshua's body gradually shrunk until it was about the size of a planet three light away. He stared at the artificial star he had created in front of him, and said lightly : "But I think the same as Iger-they want to launch an attack before we have a firm foothold, and I want to fight early while we don't have enough construction here. "

"Faina, do you want to wait until we have established a large-scale base here, and tens or even hundreds of millions of people live here, to usher in the attacks of those powerful alien civilizations? Yes, you don't want to, we I don’t want to, and they don’t want to, so my announcement is just to tell them.”

Speaking of this, the corners of Joshua's mouth curled up. The sage could see the sun's rays reflecting off the snow-white teeth that were as big as mountains, and the warrior smiled: "Come and fight now."

"If they really want to hit us, or want to cooperate with us, then come here now-the longer the time delays, the greater their loss, and the greater our loss. If they Smart enough, and with absolute malice in his heart, come and beat us now."

Otherwise, we can only watch helplessly as we build this star field like an iron bucket, and wait for the construction of the space-time hub to be completed, and the Myriad Worlds Sacrificial Field connects this galaxy, then it will not be the turn of these alien civilizations to speak.

Faina was silent about this, and the legendary sage was also thinking about it—what Joshua said naturally had some truth, but there would definitely be some surprises in practice, such as those who kept guessing When will the malicious civilization strike? This alone is difficult to know. Today's Mycroft civilization does not have large void observation buildings such as the void stargazing station. It is not a simple matter to know before the enemy attacks.

"And...the number of those malicious civilizations cannot be predicted—it's okay if there is one, but if several invade together, even Joshua may not be able to stop them all."

If the enemy join forces to attack before the time-space hub is completed, all the legendary powerhouses will definitely fall into a hard fight. At that time, who will continue to build? Without reinforcements from the Nexus of Time and Space, no matter how powerful the Joint Expeditionary Fleet is, it would be impossible to withstand the continuous onslaught of support from the local civilization.

But sometimes, pure thinking is meaningless.

Time passed in the busyness of everyone.

Facing the overwhelming force of the United Fleet, the Eldar could only choose to obey, and several legendary powerhouses other than Joshua, as well as the abyssal demon lord made white faces and black faces respectively. When they showed themselves After gaining more power, the upper echelon of the spirit clan completely died of passive resistance in secret. In this regard, we need to thank Demon King Goliath. Its shape and bloodline breath, which is also a giant insect evolution, almost directly shocked all the members of a colony of the Eldar. The fear and despair halo created by the power of the abyss is indeed unique in terms of intimidation.

Although not as good as Joshua in the past...but it is enough for the spirit race.

As for the large insects of the Spirit Race, it has been seen at this moment that this group of alien civilization fleets from the lost galaxy across the silent void may not be large in number, and the overall level of civilization is not very developed, but they continue to Some individual forces far surpass most multi-galactic civilizations. In other words, they are like a civilization composed of a group of void giants. From the lowest cubs to the highest giants, they form a complete society. While they have the habit of living in groups, the top layer has the ability to be completely alone in the void. Existence, unity is the power of civilization.

Although it is said that all the main fleets of the Eldar are now detained in a corner of the Jetrum star field, and most of the soldiers have not been returned to the civilization of the Eldar, they are currently carrying out construction work on various worlds under the supervision of the United Fleet. But the grievances of the spirit clan are not particularly great. There must be. After all, he was defeated and captured, and was forced to work as a hard laborer, but the United Fleet was willing to pay him generously.

Although this salary is only a number at present, facing the strong man who can create the sun, catalyze the ecological circle, dissolve the frozen planet, and split the continent with a sword, the spirit race captives don't think they can't pay the salary, and after the point exchange system comes into power , They can even use the received 'spiritual terminal' to carry out digital shopping and purchase alien items from the lost galaxy, including many special strategic resources that the galaxy where the spirit race is located does not exist at all.

If these things can be transported back to the home planet of the Spirit Race, the value will definitely be doubled by more than ten times. In the face of such a generous combined fleet, even the high-level leaders of the Spirit Race in the home planet have some expectations that these prisoners of war will work a little longer. Back to the resources that some countries urgently need, such as high-purity psionic crystals, which are of great help to improve the efficiency of the entire psychic network of the spirit clan, and can be directly converted into national strength.

All in all, the Galaxy where the Spirit Race is located was named "Starting Galaxy" by everyone in the fleet. After suppressing the only local force, the expeditionary fleet began to send a reconnaissance brigade to survey the entire Galaxy.

A total of 128 teams and 128 reconnaissance ships set off from Jetrum's void base. These small void ships carrying exploration teams are extremely fast, and possess the most advanced engines and In the heart of the furnace, you can jump back to the surrounding area of ​​​​the space-time hub at any time in times of crisis.

The purpose of these reconnaissance ships is to explore some important star field nodes of the starting point galaxy, and place general detection buoys to serve as temporary warning lines before the completion of large detection facilities.

As Priest and others, who have worked in the Empire's Foreign Exploration Department for many years and have rich experience in alien detection and exploration, they are currently in charge of the work in related fields. While they are responsible for confirming the exploration targets of each scout ship, they themselves also Exploration will be carried out on the star river of the starting point—now, the elite team who have been trained by Joshua for three years is simply relieved... They are simply full of energy, and they almost can't wait to start working, driving Reconnaissance ship No. 001 went to a distant place.

Including Joshua, almost all the legendary powerhouses and the high-level executives of the expedition fleet did not think that there would be any discoveries in this exploration. After all, the Spirit Race, as the only void civilization in the local area, had already clearly investigated the situation in their hometown. , the starting point galaxy is indeed a relatively barren edge world galaxy, and there is no hidden star field similar to the special strategic resource of "superconducting magic silver". Even Priest and others feel that they are just going to some The places that the Eldar have not explored are just checking for omissions.

But beyond everyone's expectations, just on the second day after the exploration began, shocking news came back to the fleet headquarters from various detection ships one after another.

When the reconnaissance ship No. 079 scanned the No. 3491 dark star field of the starting point Galaxy, it accidentally discovered that the internal structure of the dead continent world was very strange, and it did not seem to be naturally generated, so the team in charge of the reconnaissance ship dispatched an unmanned shuttle The machine enters the interior of the world to conduct surveys.

And the results were astounding.

In the main world of star field No. 3491 (the largest world in a star field, or the largest life world), its strange continental structure is indeed not formed by natural address changes, but the wreckage of a super giant magic puppet destroyed , its body is half-buried under the continent, and a raised hand (or arthropod) is the main body of the continent's highest peak exceeding 13,000 meters. The Eldar people had indeed explored this star field before, but because their equipment was relatively old, and because their parent world itself was also erupted by mana mines, and there were a large number of strange geological structures on the surface, they were accustomed to ignoring this giant mana. Can puppet the existence of wreckage.

But humans are different—the geological formations are too bizarre to be conspicuous and unnatural for humans.

According to follow-up surveys, the wreckage of this giant magic puppet is more than 24,000 meters long. The restoration schematic diagram shows that this is a void combat puppet similar to a centipede, with an engine structure that is obviously used to move in the void. By measuring the decay of elements, it can It is learned that this puppet broke through the world barrier 920,000 years ago and fell into this world. Its accidental impact caused the entire ecological circle of the world to be wiped out, and it entered a dead and dusty winter. The impact caused drastic changes.

Because of this astonishing discovery, the scouting ships that were just planning to try their hands immediately increased their attention tenfold, and Priest and the others were even more engrossed, trying to find something similar to this The remains of a giant fel golem.

No matter how advanced the human detection equipment of the Eldar race is, it will not be able to discover what is buried inside the soil layer millions of years ago. However, the "True Sight" with a certain amount of steel power was developed by Joshua. The detector can accurately see through the entire crust and even the mantle when it is turned on at full power, and can directly see all the inside and outside of a world. With this advanced and excessive detection method, all the relics that the Eldar can't find, can be seen in Microro The front of the husband reconnaissance ship is as clear as the sun in the dark.

As a result, a series of related relics have been discovered one after another.

The reconnaissance ship No. 008 landed in the main world of star field No. 14634. This is a world of life. The unmanned shuttle broke through the atmosphere and descended obliquely, and finally landed on a plain. Soon, under the action of the beacon array set up by the unmanned shuttle, the members of the exploration team of the No. 008 reconnaissance ship came to the inside of this world through time and space. They were surprised to find that this world has two completely different ecological environments—— One is based on some kind of carpet-like moss, and all kinds of strange giant worms and fungi live in these red mosses, while the other is more common, similar to the ecological circle of the primeval forest in the world of Mycroft, in which Inhabited by a large number of different kinds of ape creatures.

According to the survey, the ape-like creatures are the aborigines of world 14634. They lived here millions of years ago. Organisms with parasitic ability-the earliest traces of existence were more than 700,000 years ago. Perhaps their history in this world was earlier, but they were obviously outsiders.

The worm life has the ability to parasitize. When the 008 exploration team put the worm life on the native ape, they were surprised to find that it can greatly improve the intelligence of the ape. Soon, the 008 exploration team found a worm in another corner of the world. Whole populations of worm-infested apes have learned to use fire and tools, the most basic speech has been created, and they can communicate by clapping and roaring.

The ontological thinking ability of worm life is not strong, but when it resides on the brain stem, it can cooperate with the brain of another creature for joint thinking, directly raising the animal-level ape intelligence to the level where it can learn the universal language of Mycroft At this point, the individual experimental apes have learned to say 'hello', 'goodbye', 'eat' and other words, and the learning speed is getting faster and faster.

Samples of the worm creature and parasitic individuals have been sent back to the United Fleet headquarters. According to Yarna Milo's telepathy, the worm creature should have been a very developed civilization in the ancient past, but for some reason, it lived in symbiosis with them The creatures in the world became extinct, and they came to the 14634 world in a void spaceship, and gradually degenerated into what they are today because they lost their hosts—but according to the natural teacher, what needs to be vigilant is that this kind of worm will gradually invade the world. The brains of parasites, until they are fully controlled, replace the host's thinking organs, and the brain volume of the next generation of apes parasitized by them shows obvious degeneration, and there are even weird individuals such as brainless empty babies appearing.

They must have once been a very advanced parasitic civilization.

The No. 059 team also discovered a very surprising and abnormal news. They found the ruins of an ancient civilization city in the ocean of a world. It was an amino world. In the weird purple sea, there were strange metal buildings with top floors protruding from the sea level. It was a magic tower that had persisted for 340,000 years without collapsing, and there were even broken rune circles inside the tower.

Barnir frowned after pushing back these rune circles, and came to the conclusion that the magic power of the civilization that this tower once belonged to was very high, even as good as the current Mycroft magic skills, and according to the style of the city ruins, Look, their use and popularization of magic has even surpassed the current Starfall Era, reaching the point where almost all the people possess magic power.

It can be seen on the restoration map that some of the building wreckage that should be a children's playground have toys that need to be activated by magic power. They should even have a certain level of magic power for young organisms.

All kinds of things, a large number of ancient civilizations that were at least 300,000 years ago and were discovered by the Mycroft expedition fleet. These amazing discoveries even shocked the entire Eldar race—they originally thought they were this galaxy. The first and earliest intelligent life, the result was never expected. They seemed to be lucky and awakened at the moment when all ancient civilizations were destroyed.

In this regard, while Joshua was shocked, he was not so surprised.

"According to my calculations at the beginning, these worlds located in the outermost layer of the multi-dimensional galaxy are the ancient worlds with the longest history and the longest existence-they do not have a high-energy environment, just because all high-energy environments are over time. And it dissipated, or it was absorbed by other newborn galaxies."

During the discussion at the gathering of legendary powerhouses, the warrior sat in his seat and put forward his new point of view without hesitation. He frowned and said in a low voice: "The starting point of the galaxy was 300,000 years ago—even before The Glorious Era was even earlier, more than 200,000 years earlier than the destruction of the Astral Dragon, when it encountered a whole galaxy-wide destruction. A large number of civilizations were destroyed in battles with unknown existences, such as 079 The super giant void magic puppet discovered by the No. 1 team is a typical example. This kind of giant puppet undoubtedly possesses legendary destructive power, but it was still crushed and fell into the continent of other worlds."

The unknown enemy was written for the sake of rigor in the report. In fact, everyone present thought of those two words for the first time.

evil god.

In yesterday's update, the investigation plot should be able to be read, and by the way, there is also the reaction of the Spirit Tribe Empire... But sure enough, I still don't want to read... There is no need to write too much detail, and some tricks will not continue to be used after they appear, so After thinking about it for a while, I deleted and edited it for a long time, abbreviated this plot, and only updated it now.
