"Missing?"

Starfall 8 May 839 afternoon, Northland Moldavian Lord's House.

Joshua, who was instructing the acolytes in the lord's mansion to practice, was interrupted by a semblance of Nostradamus.

"Let's spread out for now."

Joshua first waved his hand, signaling for the attendants and maids in the mansion to go back to work - he usually likes to explain the cultivation methods of fighting qi and life energy to the people inside the lord's mansion when he is bored, and at the same time, he can also sort out the knowledge of creation about the structure of the human body by the way, although these cultivation methods are not systematic cultivation of fighting spirit, but they are enough for these attendants and maids to lay a solid enough foundation.

In this way, even if they don't continue to do this squire job, they will have a good way out in the future...... However, it is also strange to say that there have been so many people who have signed up to be a waitress recently, that Joshua has to make an announcement to show everyone.

After doing this, Joshua exuded power, and suddenly the entire backyard of the lord's mansion was obscured by a black mist that isolated electromagnetic force and light, completely cut off from the outside world, and it was only at this time that he said to Nostradamus a little strangely: "What's the matter, why are they missing again?" ”

"This matter is also strange to say - you should also know that a few days ago, the world at the edge of the world's galaxy was weird and something was not quite right, right?"

Although there was a little argument with Joshua some time ago, it was only in terms of personal philosophy, and the personal relationship between Nostradamus and Joshua was still very good, but at this time, the old mage looked quite guilty: "The Ministry of External Exploration sent Priest's team to carry out a reconnaissance mission, because it is too far away from the world of Mycrof, in order to ensure safety, I specially contacted the ruling will of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground and made five return beacons to save their lives." ”

"I know this, but it's a little farther away, and the danger is definitely not dangerous."

Joshua made a chair, and by the way, made a chair for Nostradamus, and the two sat down to talk, and the warrior's tone was quite puzzled: "The Black Mist Mother has been sealed by us, and those wandering Void Behemoths have also been caught and dissolved by me...... It stands to reason that there shouldn't be any existence in this world galaxy that can threaten the five gold-level transcendents. ”

Even the occasional Extreme-level and even near-Legendary overlord creatures that appear in some worlds can't interrupt the Return Beacon.

"What's more, why are these five boys again...... Not at all worry-free. Thinking of this, even Joshua felt confused for a while, you know, he has a lot of students, such as Ivan and Amira, the members of the first team have now graduated, and they are about to go to various other worlds that have been proven to be 'valuable' as an advance team to clear the local demonic beasts and prepare for the expansion of the empire.

And Lisa and the Syndicate are even more worry-free, now Lisa has touched the gold-level threshold at a young age, and when it comes to speed, it is estimated that it is only a little slower than Joshua's speed after crossing, and it is not impossible to achieve a legend in the future, but it can even be said that there is a very good chance.

Only the syndicate is extremely embarrassing, and it has not yet recovered the level of the Extreme Intention level Great Demon, but has barely touched the threshold of the Extreme Intention...... But after all, after changing his body, he could only exercise again, and Joshua still relaxed some requirements for this.

As for Priest and his party, the painting style is completely different from the others...... If there is one word to describe it, it can only be many disasters and difficulties.

It seems that since they began to explore, nothing good has happened in every world, either they were almost wiped out by the legendary black fog tentacles passing by, or they encountered the local super-powerful indigenous demonic beasts, and the places they traveled were either natural disasters or beast tides, and the ups and downs of life were like an electrocardiogram.

(Actually, I'm not surprised.) ）

Nostradamus on the side blinked, touched his beard, and said in his heart: (Rather, when it comes to causing trouble, only this little fellow Priest has learned the essence of you, and it is simply the same mold as you used to be.) ）

Naturally, jokes can't be told, Joshua thought for a while, and then asked, "How did you disappear?" They have a transmitter on them, as well as your return beacon, and the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground has also labeled them - even if they are caught by some otherworldly civilization, if they don't encounter a space-time legend stronger than you, then they will definitely be able to escape. ”、

"Herein lies the problem."

Hearing Joshua's words, Nostradamus shook his head heavily: "As soon as I sensed that the return beacon I made was being used, I immediately understood that the exploration team must have encountered something extremely troublesome, and they would never be able to solve it themselves. So as soon as possible, I immediately went to the return location set by the beacon, that is, the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground, to find people. ”

"The result...... Nothing. ”

When the old mage said this, he let out a long sigh: "The elite team didn't come back at all, there was a teleportation error, and they disappeared, lost in the endless void of the world's galaxy. ”

"That's right." When Joshua heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and he also understood why Nostradamus had come to see him with a guilty expression.

Priest was his student, and his student used Nostradamus's return beacon and then disappeared, which was a very serious mistake no matter how you think about it...... But Joshua knew that it was definitely not that simple.

The legendary powerhouse will not make a mistake, if there is a mistake, it must be a mistake in the eyes of the legend who is stronger than him, Nostradamus's technology Joshua is absolutely convinced, the two have fought side by side, it would be strange if there was no trust, so now instead of complaining about the other party, it is better to think carefully about how to get the missing Priest and the others back.

Joshua thought for a moment and asked, "Is there anything to say about the Ruling Will of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground?" ”

If there is anyone in the entire Mycrof civilization who can be stronger than Nostradamus in time and space, then it is estimated that only the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground, which is the crystallization of the highest technology of the Glorious Age, and its will to dominate can be compared to the old mage. What's more, Nostradamus originally used the power of the sacrificial field to make the return beacon activate in an instant, and returned to the half-plane of the sacrificial field, and it is estimated that only it can determine why the elite team suddenly disappeared.

But to Joshua's surprise, Nostradamus shook his head and said regretfully, "I asked." ”

The old mage's expression was also quite puzzled: "The will of domination told me that the teleportation of the elite team encountered some accidents at the beginning, and a sudden gravitational shock disrupted time and space, but the team was still normally teleported to a life world. ”

"But then, when it comes to where the elite team teleported after using the re-entry beacon, it remains silent and doesn't answer at all."

"That's right."

Speaking of which, Joshua understood a little. The Ministry of External Exploration sent people to investigate the distortion at the edge of the world's galaxy, and they had long been prepared for the unsmooth teleportation due to various unknown reasons, so Nostradamus and the others did not doubt him, and after returning to the beacon, the performance of the terminal's silence was very similar to the performance that another Shining Era facility would have.

Integrate the big database and keep an absolute seal in the face of the 'unauthorized person'. If a person with insufficient authority touches a certain level of secret, then the unified large database will completely, completely, and without leaving a trace of all the information, even if it is brute-forced, it will take astronomical time to get a glimpse of the truth.

It's just that if even Nostradamus, a legendary powerhouse of level six, is not powerful enough, then who else can get the truth from the mouth of the silent Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground?

Thinking of this, Joshua couldn't help but shake his head: "I see, you want me, the 'Sage Successor' with special authority, and No. 3, who has the authority of a seventh-level god, to ask the will of domination - just say it directly, twists and turns, Priest is my student, I was originally going to ask." ”

"Nope."

To Joshua's surprise, Nostradamus decisively denied Joshua's speculation, and he said solemnly: "I'm here just so that you don't have to directly ask the truth about the 'Will to Dominate the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground' - of course I thought so at first, I thought I just needed to ask you and Miss No. 3 to go over and ask, in fact, one of Miss No. 3's magic projections happened to be in the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground, and she volunteered to help us ask about the Will to Dominion." ”

“…… Outcome? Joshua frowned, he smelled something bad - since No. 3 had already asked, it meant that there was definitely something wrong with this path...... The warrior said in a deep voice, "What happened? ”

"It's bad."

The old mage stroked his beard, and he said in a solemn tone: "The data of the ruling will is fallacious, the soul self-test is down, and all the calculation matrices of the entire Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground are almost stuck in an endless loop. ”

"It's gone wrong – and it's serious, and the energy cycle of the entire Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground is showing signs of a complete collapse."

After listening to Nostradamus's words, Joshua couldn't help but stand up immediately, and he walked back and forth in the backyard with a heavy face.

"What kind of trouble are these little guys in trouble into......"

The vast majority of people in the McCrove world didn't know the nature of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground, how could Joshua not know? It was a giant spectacle created by civilization with all its might, an unreasonable ultimate stargate, and its self-control system, that is, the 'ruling will' whose main body was the Silver Sky Radiance, could be said to be one of the most powerful artificial intelligence in this world's galaxy, and if it got out of control, it was only a matter of time before it became another Black Mist Matrix.

It can even be said that if it is able to control time and space, if it gets out of control, the damage it will cause will definitely be more terrible than that of the Black Mist Mother - think about it, if it does its best to throw people directly into the black hole, it is really a god who cannot save it, it can be said to be the 'ultimate malicious banishment (magic)'.

But such a powerful artificial intelligence is now almost stuck in a data loop, leading to self-collapse.

Joshua knew that the Will to Dominate was not complete, and that its most perfect form was definitely much more powerful than it was now.

In the final battle, 80% of the buildings of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground were destroyed, and only the strongest main building was preserved because of the protection of the gods and sages, and under the terrifying war of the fall of the gods and the dissipation of the evil gods, the loss of data was also very normal, and the will of domination also admitted this, it originally had a star map of most of the multiverse, but now there is only a small amount of fragmentary information, and even the surroundings of Microf cannot be fully described.

But the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground itself is also self-correcting, ordinary data loss, it is impossible to let it fall into a dead loop, Priest and the others, must be involved in some core-level secret problem, so it led to the triggering of the 'secret injury' of the will to dominate in this regard.

“…… Understood, I wouldn't ask this question directly. ”

Thinking of this, Joshua turned his head and said to Nostradamus, "But I still have to go to the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground once...... This kid Priest is currently my most satisfied warrior student, and it is better not to delay if he can get it back quickly. ”

"Don't spur the will to dominate."

Nostradamus also stood up, he bowed his head slightly, and said softly, "I'm sorry. However, the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground is currently the foundation and origin of the rapid development of our civilization, and it cannot go wrong, at least not collapse now, otherwise, the already slim chance of facing the evil god will completely dissipate. ”

"Don't care."

Joshua withdrew the steel power barrier that shielded the inside and outside of the lord's mansion, his body was gradually turning into nothingness, and the warrior who was transferring his will back to his body whispered: "Life should go through a little grinding, as long as you don't die, then the pain now will be the wealth of the future." ”

After saying that, Joshua's whole person disappeared, turning into a ball of pure steel power and infiltrating into the underground of the lord's mansion.

And Nostradamus looked at the place where Joshua had disappeared in a daze, and there were a thousand words in his heart.

(I say, it's not a grind, it's an ordeal—if pain could be exchanged for money, I guess those disciples of yours would have become billionaires...... Then again. ）

The old mage looked at the debris of steel power that were scattered like snowflakes in the backyard of the lord's mansion, and couldn't help but nod appreciatively.

"This is a good way to leave, I'll learn from it next time."
