What is memory.

Memory is the process by which humans classify and store information about past experiences, and recall is the process of extracting this information. Memory is the basic function of human thinking, and without the ability to remember, human beings will lose everything they rely on for their livelihood, including self-awareness, interpersonal relationships, and all kinds of technical information.

In ancient times, human beings believed that their souls and memories, thoughts and wills existed independently of the body, destroying the body, people's souls and memories still existed, and thinking and will were immortal, which was also the beginning of the afterlife world and ghost legends.

But in fact, in the case of the McCrof world alone, memory and the will to think have carriers, specifically, the cerebral cortex, cerebellum, hippocampus, striatum, amygdala, temporal lobes and parietal lobes and other brain tissues, if they hold extraordinary powers, then the soul will also carry a part of the memories and thoughts.

The destruction of the body is equivalent to the destruction of the soul, and memory is no exception.

- Unless, to reach the ultimate intent of the soul.

Only by reaching the extreme intention of the soul can the soul exist alone in the physical body, and the memory will be free from the fragile brain tissue, neural network, brain cells and synapses, and reach a state of near-immortality, even in the past ten million years, all memories are still as new.

But even if it is so immortal, it is not truly immortal.

And Joshua is now facing a dangerous situation that can erase his 'immortal memory'.

At this time, the warrior turned into a silver cocoon, his mind never stopped from beginning to end, but he did not have half the energy to pay attention to the outside world, Joshua was now in the abyss, he was holding a torch called will, but the infinite darkness around him swallowed the light, making his mind stagnate, his memory faded, and the spark was about to be extinguished in the shadows.

Because, the power that comes from Joshua himself is destroying the foundation of his self with an irreversible force—that is, the memory of the warrior as Joshua.

"The ...... of the black hole hairless theorem"

Inside the silver cocoon, the warrior's will to be oppressed to the limit flashed with a glimmer of knowledge about the study of massive celestial bodies in his previous life.

The so-called black hole hairless theorem, specifically, is that no matter what kind of black hole, when it is completely formed, only the three physical quantities of mass, angular momentum and electric charge will remain, and other information, that is, the so-called 'hair' is lost in the extreme compression and collapse of matter, no matter how glorious the predecessor of this black hole is a star with a glorious history, how shocking the past, when it becomes a black hole, it is only left with those three physical quantities.

This is actually very easy to understand, because the essence of black holes is to compress matter to the extreme, it does not have any complex structure that can record information, and it is naturally impossible to extract information, in a sense, black holes are celestial bodies without 'memory', and they are too pure as an aggregate of matter to lose their 'self'.

What Joshua is experiencing now is actually a problem similar to 'black holes without hair'.

When the warrior became a legend, he chose the stars as his future path, Joshua used the stars as the energy furnace and the white dwarf matter as the armor, he built his body as the ultimate weapon of the material world from the beginning, and defeated countless old legends at the beginning of his idea, and the indestructible degenerate material shell resisted countless powerful attacks for him, and also enabled Joshua to defeat many enemies who became super lifeforms earlier than him.

At that time, the warrior's body was not entirely composed of degenerate substances, his mind center and various special organ modules were assembled from various transcendent alloys, but as Joshua's assimilation with the power of steel became closer and closer to 100%, his body composition became closer and closer to pure degenerate substances, and this process was intensified after the Void Maelstrom encountered the Creation Nebula and instilled a large amount of power.

If you choose the stars as your path, you will naturally have the power of the stars and the destiny of the stars.

Before he was completely ready, Joshua had to usher in his most important transformation in the void - getting rid of low-density matter and becoming a completely degenerate super lifeform.

And the price to be paid for this process is the ego.

Joshua's strength is too strong, the mass is too great, and the material is too pure, so in the middle of the transformation, the carrier of his own memory, and even his soul, will be erased by the power of constantly purified steel, just like the black hole that has erased all information by himself, becoming a pure steel power aggregate. Pure proton neutron aggregates do not form brain tissue structures like synapses and hippocampus, let alone the computing center of a supercomputer, and there is no room for Joshua to think and remember in the degenerate matter that is constantly compressing and collapsing.

Buzz, buzz. The reverberation from the microcosm of matter is endless, it is the 'sound' of electrons being converted into neutrons after being merged into protons by a strong gravitational force, and it is constantly sounding in the silver cocoon of Joshua's incarnation, with the collapse and compression of matter - this simple and direct transformation process has destroyed all the original structures of matter in it, whether their predecessors were the heart reactor of the melt core, or the psionic energy migration engine, now they are only pure, constantly compressing and transforming the degenerate matter, and the information stored in them has long been completely destroyed and ceased to exist.

However, this process is not unidirectional, the silver metal ball sometimes shrinks, sometimes expands, and the transformation of degenerate matter also begins and reverts with expansion and contraction, because the mass is not enough to completely convert itself into a pure neutron degenerate substance, and the transformation of the silver cocoon is always difficult to complete.

But this is a lucky thing for Joshua, because if he really starts to transform extremely smoothly, then the day when the transformation is completed will be the day when his self-will and even his soul completely dissipate, and the only way to successfully cross this step is to continue to fight against his own power in the darkness like now.

After all, he has not yet become a black hole, but is only in the gap between the white dwarf star and the neutron star matter, and only in this way can Joshua engrave his own mark in his increasingly pure steel power, and get another opportunity to reconstruct his own thinking organs.

In the darkness of the silver cocoon, the warrior's self-will, still fighting silently.

"By manipulating electromagnetic forces, interfering with the structure of microscopic matter, we can construct a stable module that can store information."

"Using the soul as a bridge, running through all information storage points, forming a network of links that can ignore ultra-high-density matter."

"Spread the divinity, completely tear the divinity apart, disperse it in the soul network, and achieve instantaneous information transmission regardless of distance."

It took nearly 20 days to create an 'information storage module' formed by a small number of electrons and protons mixed with a continuous neutron fluid, which is extremely inconspicuous even in the microscopic world, and then linked little by little, so that the 'soul network' that runs through the entire silver cocoon and can be clearly seen even from a macroscopic perspective takes shape.

The further he went, the faster Joshua rebuilt his thinking organs, and in the end, with the help of his soul network, he was already able to maintain his self-memory, and even neatly smashed the divinity that he could already control, and used it as a material to forge an extraordinary thinking structure that could finally ignore the distance and have no delay.

Countless information storage modules are like ganglions in the human brain, and the divine soul network is equivalent to the neural network - at this time, Joshua has completely become the ultimate life form that ordinary humans can hardly imagine, because the basis of his thinking is no longer the microcurrent and neural network of ordinary life.

Joshua's soul is with his body, and he no longer needs such a thing as a brain and a thinking center, because every part of his body is the node where he stores information and memories, and it is the carrier of his thoughts.

In the center of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground, in the silver sky that shone on the entire plane, the Dominating Will did not care about the teams of the Wintercastle Academy that were slowly parading from afar, as well as the major forces that were cleaning up all over the plane, but stared at the silver cocoon shrouded in its own brilliance with great seriousness.

Every time it collapses, every time it expands, which area of matter is transferred to other areas, and what kind of movement the elementary particles in which area, the will to rule records every change in the silver cocoon in every detail, and it calculates whether the will of Joshua still exists based on this information, and is always ready to take action to rescue the warrior's self-will.

Although it believed that Joshua would be able to control its own power and take the most important step of this transformation, it did not mean that it would not save the defeated warriors, at most, it would greatly lower its expectations of the other party and remove Joshua from the current position of the highest authority in the 'First Successor of the Sages', the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground.

But it is gratifying that looking at the current reaction, Joshua has finally completely controlled his power and maintained his self-will in the long self-battle.

"Congratulations, Joshua."

It was only then that it let out a heartfelt message of congratulations to the Silver Cocoon: "You have taken a huge step towards infinity, and this act alone is enough to make a name for yourself in the multiverse." ”

"Thank you, Dominating Will."

After a long time, a deep voice with a strong electromagnetic murmur came from the silver cocoon: "Although it should have been a mistake, but thanks to Iger, Nostradamus and you have been shielding the gravitational pull of my body, otherwise, I would definitely not have been so easy to reconstruct my thinking system this time." ”

This sentence, Joshua is sincere - fortunately, the old Pope immediately discovered the giant cocoon of Joshua's incarnation in the void, and used the alien space seal to completely isolate the warrior from the material world, and fortunately, in order to avoid causing any natural disasters, everyone has been cautious to seal the giant cocoon of the warrior's incarnation, otherwise, Joshua can get a large amount of material supplies even in the void, which will increase the difficulty of reconstructing his own thinking network.

Think about it, the countless scattered and sturdy matter, under the strong gravitational pull of the impact on the surface of the silver cocoon, and emit a nuclear bomb-level energy that is better than most of the extreme will spells, this situation is simply catastrophic for the warrior who has been reconstructing the core of his mind inside the cocoon, and it only takes a few more times to interrupt his construction process and force him to start over.

"It's all about order."

For Joshua's gratitude, the simple-minded Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Arena Ruling Will didn't say much, it just searched the database and gave a hint according to the relevant information: "Joshua, your current ontological energy level is too high, just existing, it is possible to cause devastating disasters to the material world. ”

"According to the information of the Glorious Age, you should create an avatar that walks in the human world in place of your own body, and continue your activities in the human world."

"Avatar?"

Hearing this word, Joshua couldn't help but recall his recent trip to the world of Siberia.

At that time, because the Xiboya world was still only a medium and low demon world, he deliberately only used his soul to descend and incarnate with his body...... Unexpectedly, after returning to the world of McCrof, he would still have to use his avatar to walk in the world.

But there's no way around it. Joshua himself knew that at this time, his strength had greatly improved, and it was no longer possible to be as leisurely and indifferent as before, and that kind of superficial isolation position alone was no longer enough to eliminate the terrifying gravity brought by the huge mass of his body, if he still went to Moldavia with his body, it would not be good...... No, it will definitely turn the entire territory into a sunken basin, and even the entire crust of the Northland will change drastically as a result.

Today's Joshua is still in the form of a silver giant cocoon, and the warrior has consumed most of his mental energy in order to construct a new thinking module, and in order to adapt to this completely different thinking organ in a short period of time, he can't quickly transform into the commonly used steel giant form, and it is estimated that he can only maintain the status quo for a few months or even half a year. Thinking of this, Joshua didn't hesitate, he immediately prepared to make a move, ready to mobilize the ontological substance to create a powerful enough avatar.

But at this moment, Joshua's will suddenly froze.

"Wait, I forgot to put the 'Nameless Mechanic''s body back into the world of Sibeja!"

In the world of Sibeya, when the battle with Fatroorvi was officially fought in the inner world, Joshua's incarnation of the steel puppet tore through the space, and directly attacked the galaxy giant incarnated by the time mover with its body, trying to pull the opponent into the void decisive battle, at that time, in order to protect the safety of the steel golem, Joshua's body included the body of the puppet and the unknown mechanic in the puppet into the body, and preserved it safely.

But then Fatrolvi stirred up time, going back to the past again and again, and he even observed the possibility of the future, and together with Joshua, he made a mess of 'fate'. In the bombardment of each other, Fatrolvi was beaten unconscious, and Joshua forgot that there was a double and a Siberian body in his body.

In addition, Joshua later had a premonition that he was going to advance, so he hurriedly planned to return to the McCrove world to make a safer preparation, he should have remembered this at this time, but in the middle of this, he encountered a change in the Void Vortex...... Everything was too much of a coincidence, and the majestic energy poured into his body, accelerating Joshua's realm, and making him ignore this matter even more.

As for now, the flesh of both the steel golem and the nameless mechanic has been compressed into a degenerate substance in the process of Joshua's advancement, and has become the raw material for the warrior's new body today.

"Fortunately, I'm still familiar with creation, otherwise it would have been embarrassing."

In the center of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground, the surface of the silver cocoon suspended in mid-air moved slightly, and then a small particle of material the size of a pen tip rose from it, and this seemingly inconspicuous particle of material shattered into two halves in mid-air, half of which occupied most of it, and the other half only had an insignificant bit. Under Joshua's control, the two particles of matter, one large and one small, immediately began to expand rapidly, one of them incarnated in mid-air into a tall, black-haired man who seemed to be cast of steel, while the other turned into an ordinary Sibean teenager, obviously still a carbon-based creature.

With Joshua's current control, as long as there are raw materials, he can create all kinds of avatars through relevant information anytime and anywhere, whether it is a combat body similar to a steel puppet, or an ordinary carbon-based humanoid, although the body of the nameless mechanic is absorbed by him, as long as the information is enough, then he can naturally create an identical one and return it to him.

Of course, the soul of the nameless mechanic is still recuperating in Joshua's soul abyss, and it will probably take some time to regain control of his body, and when he is completely recovered, Joshua will naturally ask him if he wants to return to his homeland, if not, then the warrior will recruit him and let him continue to study the puppet in the Winter Castle Academy, and if so, then he will send the other party back to the world of Siboya so that he can get along with his own people.

"After all, it's just a drop-by."

Joshua hadn't forgotten that the black fog hovering around the Void Maelstrom and the possible existence of the Alpha Shelter, in order to completely erase this 'darkness among the stars' from the multiverse, he would inevitably return to that space-time realm to explore the void and reality.

Of course, that's all for later. Reminded by the will of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground, the avatar that Joshua had just created, that is, the tall black-haired man, moved his hands and feet, and then turned his head to look at the direction of the human voice faintly coming from the east. It was the sound of the visiting team at Wintercastle Academy, and there was a lot of life in it that Joshua was familiar with.

Thinking of the owners of those breaths, Joshua, who had not walked in the world as a human for a long time, curled the corners of his mouth unskillfully, and put on a rather stiff, but sincere smile.

After all, he had just returned home.
