Chapter 16: A Gloomy Future
Around the Mycroft Continent, Far South, and Sea Dragon City.
Grey clouds poured rain down on the earth, turning the sky and the earth into a haze, and thunder could be heard roaring through the layers of cumulonimbus clouds.
Faina, the sage of the sea, stood in the backyard of her courtyard, she raised her head and looked at the sky, her face was blinded by the veil of psionic energy, but such a small action made the surrounding area of Sea Dragon City, which was originally lightning and thunder in the rainy season, seem to be pressed the pause button, the rainstorm suddenly stopped, the storm stopped, and the world that was originally filled with noisy rain and thunder became extremely silent in an instant.
"My lord, are you in a bad mood?"
A middle-aged maid standing behind Faina stepped forward and served this legendary powerhouse a precious cup of high-grade magic potion, this magic potion called 'Heart of Rock' was originally the secret of the Earth Temple, which needed to use various precious magic materials as a source of extraction, and had the effect of strengthening the mind and a certain amount of magic resistance, but not long ago, all the great forces and extraordinary powerhouses opened a large number of originally top-secret secret books and recipes, and the Heart of the Rock was also among them.
Although the current Heart of Rock is also rare, it can be said to be a lot more common than at the beginning, it can only be regarded as a luxury, thanks to its gifts, in the scope of Sea Dragon City alone, there are many talented psionics who have been discovered, after all, middle-class families with a little spare money at home gritted their teeth and bought a bottle, tried their luck for their children, and saw if they could worship the local legendary powerhouse in the future.
As a member of the Earth Temple, a descendant of the blood of the gods, and the most powerful one among them, Faina was brought up with this potion by the great elders of her vein since she was a child, so even if this magic potion has no effect on her now, smelling this familiar smell can make Faina recall the warm and reassuring childhood in the past, and it can also make her calm from her confusion.
"yes." Fayna replied a little lazily: "It's not that I'm in a bad mood, it's just ......"
"I just don't know what to do, do I?"
The maid smiled and put on a fire silkworm gauze for Faina, although as a legendary powerhouse, Faina didn't need this kind of warm clothing at all, but this was the habit of a good friend who had been with her for decades, not so much a maid, but a good friend, and Faina let the other party sort out her clothes for herself, and felt a trace of warmth in her heart.
After a moment of silence, Fayna said abruptly, "Raya." ”
"You say, what should you do if you suddenly get a very bad piece of news, so bad that you can hardly solve it, you don't know what to do about it, you don't know how to deal with it?"
When she said this, although Faina was still unable to see her expression because of the spiritual veil, anyone could hear that this powerful psyker who had mastered the transformation of the spirit of quality and could unite herself with heaven and earth was falling into deep confusion and doubt at this time: "Raya, you say that if there is no road ahead at all—even if you try your best to carve a way on a rugged road full of calamities, the future of this path will inevitably come to an end...... What should I do? ”
The maid, who was called Raya, was visibly serious when she heard Fayna's words of self-doubt rather than inquiry.
She is the same age as Faina, and she grew up together since childhood, Fayna has become a legendary powerhouse, and her face is not old, while Raya is a little gray even if she relies on magic potions, her hair is a little gray at this time, no matter what point of view, Raya is just an ordinary transcendent of the silver level, or she is piled up alive with resources, and Fayna is obviously not in the same world as the legend.
But it is precisely because it is such an ordinary person, and it is precisely because of getting along with the legend day and night, so Raya knows that even the legendary strong will be excited, joyful, confused, and sad, and the legendary strong person is a super life, but it is still life, and there are also joys and sorrows, and they occasionally feel overwhelmed and need the advice and comfort of others.
"Your Excellency."
So, after thinking for a while, Raya said softly, "Although I don't know what you are worried about, and how bad the news is, is that what worries you about it a disaster that will happen immediately?" ”
"It's not." Fayna shook her head, still looking at the sky, the gloomy color that was surging like the mood of a legendary powerhouse, and she replied in a low voice, "Even if it comes, it will be a long, long time before it will be - anyway, in a few decades, we still have a huge level to cross, and if we can't even cross that, we will have no future." ”
"It's just, Raya."
As she spoke, Faina turned around, and she took the hand of her friend, who was an ordinary person, and walked slowly through the courtyard, and as she walked, she said helplessly: "I know, you will definitely say, 'Since it is such a distant thing, what is the point of worrying about it now?'" I also know that you will secretly laugh at me, say, 'At that time, I will die, and no matter how big the disaster is, it will not matter to me as an ordinary person,' and distract me with your own life, and use this distress to make me forget the greater affliction for a while. ”
"But this disaster is different from the past, and it is different from the ravages of the fishmen, the tsunami, the plague of dragons, and the invasion of invaders from another world...... What worries me is not the 'disaster' itself, but the decadence that 'there is no point in fighting' in my heart. ”
At this, Fayna sighed deeply, and in her mind, a large amount of file data sent to her by a certain warrior, speculation about the current situation, and a large number of arguments for guess analysis once again surfaced in her mind.
—Joshua van Radcliffe.
Why do you always give such a horrific and desperate picture of the future?
Why do you always have a keen eye for the dark shadows that lie in the darkness but are deeper than the darkness?
Sometimes, even as a legendary powerhouse, even if you have a resilient heart that will never give in in the face of all disasters, you still feel powerless in the face of true despair.
Fayna knew that she could face any strong enemy without fear, even any evil god, because she knew that after fighting bravely, even if she died, the darkness would eventually pass, and the light would come—even if humanity was bound to fail, then at least they had fought and made the last effort for the light to come.
However, this time...... What Joshua told them was the extremely dark reality that 'maybe there is no light'.
"Even if we defeat the evil gods who came decades later, so what...... The future is destined to be dark, and there is not even a solution to it, even if we imitate the sages and march towards the center of the multiverse, but according to our strength, we will inevitably fall into that endless time trap......"
And, even if you make it to the center of the multiverse, what can you do?
Why does the world's galaxy stand still? Why did the initial fire 'shrink' and 'move away'? Why has this multiverse never given birth to a new galaxy of worlds? Behind the scenes...... Does it exist? If it exists, then what is it, what is its purpose, and how can it be defeated?
There are so many whys, even if human beings try their best, they can't even solve one of them, and they can't do anything at all, which is really upsetting.
"Why don't let me know...... In that case, even if I am kept in the dark, I can at least raise the courage of the ignorant......"
Fayna muttered under her breath, laughing to herself.
And just when Fayna laughed at herself.
All the legendary powerhouses in the world of McCrove fell into a similar silence.
What Joshua revealed to them was a future that was too bleak, compared to which even absolute despair could be considered merciful, at least it hid the face of the end, even if it was death, it was a death with conviction and without the slightest regret or pain.
Through the star map information that anyone can consult in the metal dragon god and the unified big information database, Joshua coldly revealed to everyone the illusory and terrifying vision of the future: the world galaxy stopped rotating, the world of McCrove also fell into stagnation not long ago, the initial fire contracted, and no new world galaxy was born, even the void monsters and ancient dragons were just repair systems bred by the galaxy in order to save themselves.
But even so, the galaxy will eventually usher in extinction, just like the world galaxy where the mother world of the Astral Dragons is located, after a long time, it will become the endless dark wreckage between the world of Microve and the other worlds.
In such despair, even the attack of the evil god seems to have become acceptable, after all, the evil god is also an enemy with a physical body, whether it can be defeated or not, at least it can make a counterattack.
And now, all the legendary powerhouses are facing nothingness.
- There is no hope, there is no future, everything is meaningless gray, no matter how bright the flame is, it will eventually turn to ashes and fall into eternal sleep, or awaken in despair and resentment and become a member of the darkness.
At the top of the White Tower, Barbarossa was alone looking around the clouds and the sky, only stars and moonlight in the night, and the legendary mage looked up at the stars in the sky in silence, he didn't know which of those stars had long since been extinguished, and the silver glow he saw now was the brilliance it had not long had since erupted, or the light it had emitted hundreds of millions of years ago.
In the depths of the sea, the Mermaid Man is lonely on the rock wall of the bottom of the sea inscribed inscriptions, this is Godard's only hobby for a hundred years, it is used to using inscriptions to inscribe the summary of all the important things he has experienced, but today, the high priest is unable to start, it wants to start several times, but several times raised the hand, all put down in a sigh.
Deep underground, after thirty-two years, after creating the 'Divine Hammer Gangdarlan', the dwarven craftsman took matters into his own hands for the first time, lifted the hammer head, entered his long-closed forging room, and began to hammer the burned red metal blocks again and again. Every time he felt that his heart was shaking, Flo Iron Finger would do this kind of work, but the sound coming from the forge room could be heard that it was difficult to calm the heart of the craftsman 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 fortress of the Holy Mountain, or in the general monitoring hub in the sky, all the legends, gods, all the powerhouses of the McCrof world, are in deep contemplation because of the message sent by a man.
- Of course, the legendary powerhouses can convince themselves that they can say that the future that will be destroyed will be at least a few hundred million years away, and they are still worried about the invasion of the evil gods in a few decades, so what's the point of worrying about this?
Of course, they can say that there is no need to scare themselves and worry about unnecessary things.
They can be an ostrich, when all this does not exist - anyway, there is no evidence at present, there is some powerful existence that destroyed those world stars, and the same is true for those world stars behind the scenes, maybe those world stars were destroyed naturally, and this is the natural law of the multiverse? If this is the case, when the world galaxy is destroyed, it is difficult to say whether human existence exists or not.
Yes, they can do that.
But no one does.
Israel temporarily cut off the main server of the Skynet monitoring system, he stood up from the throne, and then looked down on his kingdom from the monitoring throne located tens of thousands of meters in the air.
The Nature Mentor and the Elven Empress stood hand in hand on the branches of the Mother Tree of Eternal Life, carefully caressing each of its branches and leaves, and unblocking the energy circuit for this ancient life that witnessed the development of the Starfall Elven civilization.
Eagle sat in the prayer room for a rare time—the six gods were also thinking at this time, but the pope had no intention of communicating with his own gods, he just stared at the portraits of the popes hanging around the prayer room, and couldn't take his eyes off it.
No one will 'run away'.
Because they are the leaders of civilization.
- Ordinary people can ignore it, they can ignore it, they can convince themselves that danger may not come, even if darkness will come, but they can at least enjoy a full life, and it will not have any effect on themselves at all.
However, as legendary powerhouses, as the closest life in the world to immortality, as the leader of an empire, a race, a religion, as a representative of the transcendent civilization of Microf, they cannot deceive themselves like this, they must think about how to deal with these problems, how to solve the inevitable end of the future - they know very well that if Joshua guesses correctly, behind all this weirdness, there is one, or a group of masterminds, Then the world of Mycrof, which is now also at a standstill, is the most dangerous moment in thousands of years.
They have entered the hands of those behind the scenes, just like other destroyed galaxies—whether they survive or perish depends on the decisions of other beings, not their own efforts.
It is precisely because of this that there is powerlessness, despair, and a deep confusion and a real contemplation.
At this time, Joshua, who was located in the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground, did not know the reaction of the legendary powerhouses.
He just floated next to the Silver Sky Radiance, chatting with the Ruling Will of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground without saying a word.
Of course, the warrior knows how demoralizing the news he has discovered, and of course he knows that some people, and even some civilizations, will be directly knocked down by this kind of information...... In the battle against the Death Evil God, he had seen too many similar situations long ago.
- A civilization that goes crazy in the face of a massive meteorite that cannot be broken, and destroys itself due to social riots before the impact of the destruction of the world.
——In the face of the Chaos Clan, directly give up resistance, and turn all the people into a civilization that eats food for Chaos.
- Faced with the fact that the sun is about to go out in a few hundred years, no effort or progress has been made, and it is natural that the civilization that will be destroyed will be calmly ushered in.
There are so many civilizations that have fallen in the dark, devoured and collapsed by despair, that they have been abandoned like a burning torch and become dead memories.
And is the Mycrof civilization, and the powerhouses of the civilization, also one of them?
