The Dark Realm is an extremely large space, it is around the Void Maelstrom, stretching out at least a dozen long strip-shaped fields the size of the Mycrof World Realm, and worlds from No. 1 to No. 8 are distributed in turn, and there are many scattered absolute dead worlds around it.

In this field, all worlds are bleak, and even if they do, they cannot be observed by other regions, and even the coordinates are difficult to determine, which is almost equivalent to non-existence, hence the name darkness.

But now, the Northern Empire's Department of External Exploration is using the maximum power signal, calling the No. 3 World Team located in this non-existent field to immediately stop exploring, stay where it is, and wait for the return teleportation.

"Call the third team, according to the judgment of the official research team of the Empire, your current situation is extremely dangerous, and there is a great danger to your life, please immediately stop all exploration operations, start repairing the pillar of light, stick to the place and wait for the teleportation pillar to return. All your information has been recorded, so don't worry about contributing. Again, please stop all exploration immediately, start repairing the pillar of light and stick to the spot, please be on guard. ”

The Gran Saifa correspondent relied on the power of this ancient wonder to communicate into the distance by connecting the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground, and his expression was extremely serious, not only because this information was related to the life and death of five members of an elite squad, but also because now behind him, there were four legendary powerhouses talking in a low voice.

Truth be told, his tense legs were paralyzed.

"What's going on, why do you suddenly want to stop exploring?"

Approaching the paralyzed communicator, Nostradamus said that he had just received news from the warriors and hurried over from the West Bande Plateau, and he was still not very clear about the situation, while on the side, Barnier and William, who had been doing research in the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground, kindly explained: "Joshua has found out about the enemy he has fought in the third world, and it is indeed a tricky guy, so he should be cautious." ”

"yes, we teamed up to deal with it, and we almost let it out of the encirclement."

Hearing this, Nostradamus squinted at Joshua: "Your former enemy? Strange, aren't they now ashes? It's not your character. ”

"The problem is that there is a group of enemies, not one."

Joshua shook his head at the ridicule of his friends, Nostradamus was also the one who knew about the existence of the Black Mist, and after he gave a rough explanation of the current situation, the old mage said that he knew: "Do you suspect that World Three is the lair of the Black Mist, or a battlefield with the evil god?" That's dangerous. ”

Black Mist undoubtedly has a legendary-level combat power, as a microscopic-level magical rune creation cluster, it has extremely strong erosive power and energy-devouring ability, and theoretically, it should also have wisdom beyond ordinary humans.

And the existence under the legend, it is basically impossible to defeat the legend, unless they have mastered the legendary-level technology...... And the dense wreckage of World Three, which even piled up into a desert, proves that in this place, the black fog once fell like rain, and thousands of them were destroyed. The existence of such a thing can basically be done in the eyes of everyone, basically only evil gods, or even multiple evil gods.

"I'm going to go over and see for myself."

After the four legends roughly exchanged the current situation, Joshua made a decision: "Dangerous places, naturally have their value, maybe you can find some special information about the black fog and evil gods in the third world, they are all our enemies, the more you know, the better." ”

"Then I'll monitor the other worlds first, and if there's any danger, I'll come directly."

Nostradamus nodded slightly, and he walked to the monitoring room on the other side, where Barnier and William left at the same time.

Since the Gran Saifa is now located on the edge of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground, and the Will to Dominate is in the vicinity, under Joshua's contact, soon, the teleportation power belonging to the Sacrifice Ground will directly light up on the warrior's body - a black space unfolds in an instant, engulfing Joshua's figure.

At this time, the exploration team of World Three was stuck in place according to the instructions and did not carry out any exploration.

"Is there anything particularly dangerous about the message we sent back?"

At the front of the makeshift position, the captain, who was looking around and noticing for any unusual conditions around him, was quite depressed, and he said to himself in confusion: "Listening to the tone of the communicator, it looks like we may die at any time." ”

"It's for our good, too." The mage who was behind the flank, in charge of maintaining the positional shield, shrugged: "After all, this is another world, and it's normal for us to have any dangers that we can't notice. ”

"I'm just sorry, there should be more to discover......"

Suddenly, the five members of the exploration team present all sighed - indeed, because of the sudden emergency communication, they could only temporarily stop all subsequent exploration plans, although it is said that there is no special situation within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, but further away, maybe there is some valuable information that can provide a lot of contributions? Although the captain knows that the harvest has been very rich, for all the members of the third team, this feeling is still extremely distressing: "I can't sit in the carriage at a loss, so I can only go ......"

Everyone's thoughts were still calm, and suddenly, on the other side of the endless metal desert, there was a huge roar.

Suddenly, the five members of the exploration team, who were already on alert, were immediately alarmed, and when they heard a loud noise that was far louder than thunder, as if the sky was falling apart, they immediately raised their heads on guard and looked at the horizon in the direction where the sound came, and what happened there made everyone stunned and at a loss-

It was a cloud of iron-red dust that rose like a city wall, but reached high in the sky, and countless tiny metal dust was swept up into the sky by a mighty force, obscuring the sky and the sun...... But this is not the reason for the shock of the people, what they are shocked by is that under the dust cloud, the earth that seems to have collapsed as if it had disappeared, and the desert composed of countless metal sand and dust seemed to be swallowed by an invisible giant mouth, and large swaths disappeared into the horizon, and everyone could see that there was no land in the distance, only darkness.

"What to do?! Our front can't stop natural disasters! ”

The alchemist in the team was in a hurry, although it was said that the repair pillar of light and the mage's protection shield together were enough to resist the attack of the extreme intention level, but if the whole fell into the abyss, it would definitely not be pleased.

"What else can be done?" After all, the exploration team is also the elite of the elite, although it will be shocked when encountering an emergency, but the recovery is also very fast, the captain of the third team thought a little, and immediately came up with a solution: "Knight, hurry up and unfold the off-road vehicle, turn on the flight mode, let's get in the car!" ”

"What if there are still instruments in the position?"

"No matter how important those things are, don't want them!"

After the order, the well-trained third team all boarded the car within ten seconds, and with the slight sound of the rotors and magic vents, the off-road vehicles with flying ability rose to a high altitude in the midst of magic fluctuations, and in the distance, the 'Great Collapse' that was still on the horizon had arrived at the original third team's stationing point, and everyone looked down in silence as their original camp was engulfed by a huge dark gap, disappearing into the churning sand.

If we don't take precautions...... The captain thought so in silence, and then shuddered.

"In the flying form, even if the mage and the alchemist charge together, the energy can only last for two and a half hours."

The driving knight looked at the various instruments in the front row of the off-road vehicle solemnly, and he whispered: "Our energy crystal reserves are all in the camp, and now they are gone. ”

"It's gone, it's gone, we just took off for ten seconds, and the collapse has already reached us." In this regard, the captain could only sigh: "I can only hope that the return teleportation will start early." ”

Because there are slight differences between the worlds in all aspects, all the members of the exploration team are below the gold level when they first perform the mission, to avoid the conflict of extraordinary forces unique to the high transcendentals, and they follow the plan of the Imperial External Exploration Department, and then all realm advancements will be completed in the void, in order to achieve the most perfect adaptability in the future. However, because of this, all the people present except for the mages and priests who have a certain ability to fly, the others do not have such power now, and can only rely on the magic energy machinery of flying off-road vehicles to make up for it.

"Wait, look!"

Just when everyone was still in a complicated mood and rejoiced that they had acted decisively, suddenly, the clergyman on the side pointed to a collapse and said, "There seems to be some building there?" ”

Suddenly, everyone turned their heads to look in the direction the priest was pointing, and sure enough, they saw a large black complex.

After the surface of World Three suddenly collapsed on a large scale, causing countless metal deserts and earth to sink into the abyss, the entire ground was pitch black and misty, as if looking at the abyss from the edge of a cliff, but it was in this environment that all members of the Third Exploration Team noticed that in the depths of the collapse area, between the countless dust surges, there were black buildings emerging from the rolling metal sand.

It can be seen that those black buildings are huge, magnificent, magnificent, and have a unique artistic beauty, and its dome alone is thousands of meters wide, and it is covered with all kinds of peculiar erosion scars, as if it has survived countless attacks but still stands. But what looked like the most serious injuries were actually those black surfaces, because of the intense magic fluctuations emitted from them, it was easy to determine that these buildings had experienced a very large amount of continuous exposure to magical radiation, which was why the surface layer became so black.

Buried under the thick metallic sand, these black structures have spent thousands of years, they do not roll into the abyss with the dust, but stand in place, the third team flies silently high in the sky, they stare downward, their eyes pierce the surging dust and the metal clouds rising from the depths of the earth, everyone can see the rolling magma layer deep in the mantle, and great geological changes are taking place in it, which is the cause of the great collapse of the surface of the Third World.

What's really going on in this world?

Doubts echoed in the hearts of everyone, and everyone thought about this question in horror, they had never witnessed the power of legends, they had not experienced the natural disasters that destroyed the world, they could not even imagine what kind of disasters and wars would cause such a spectacle - the original world was buried under the metal desert, and the essence of the world was severely damaged, engulfing everything on the surface from time to time.

However, there was no need for them to imagine it now, because with the spread of space-time fluctuations, a hand reached out out out of nowhere, grabbed the flying off-road vehicle, and then directly threw it and all the people on it back to the other side of time and space, and after doing this and ensuring the safety of the exploration team, Joshua walked out of the space-time passage created by the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground, looking down at everything that happened below.

"Sure enough, there's weirdness."

He whispered, "The style of these buildings is very similar to the sanctuary civilization I saw at the beginning...... It should not be a civilization destroyed by black fog, but a part of a sanctuary civilization! ”

But even if he knew this, it was useless, under Joshua's steel power vision, he could directly see the interior of the building, and inside this building, all information and possible documents had long been turned into ashes by high-energy radiation, leaving only the remnants of the main building, and in silence, the warrior thought for a moment before flying directly into the sky.

Soon, he penetrated the atmosphere and came to an extremely high place hundreds of thousands of meters above the earth's surface, this altitude would have reached the end of the world if it was in the Microf world, but until now, Joshua had not felt any precursors of imminent entering the void, which meant that the limits of this world were far more than that. ，

Soon, the warriors flew directly out of the atmosphere with a technology of tens of kilometers per second—if the thin sea of gas could be called the atmosphere—and came into a dark starry sky.

Then he confirmed his suspicions.

Joshua looked down at the dim, broken sphere under him, he nodded slightly, and finally confirmed that this so-called world number three was not a single continental world, but a spherical celestial world, and world number three itself was a broken planet.

It was a planet where a quarter of the stars had been shattered, and there was a huge gap in its northwest half, from which countless misty dust overflowed, forming a cloud of dust several planets long, and its surface was covered with a layer of iron-red metallic sand, burying all the buildings on the surface and inhibiting the complete collapse of the planet.

Yes, the black fog did not destroy this world, in fact, it was protecting this world from collapsing itself due to heavy damage, but this is a meaningless thing, Joshua did not perceive the existence of any life from this planet, and even the soul has completely dissipated in the thousands of years, and he does not perceive the slightest information.

After confirming the surface information, Joshua turned his head and looked around the void, at this time he was in the orbit of the planet of World Three, he could see that the sun of World Three in the distance was dark red, it appeared very huge, but the light was very dim, and there were countless black areas on the surface surging ...... It is a red giant star that is close to extinction, and the region it once occupied was not here, but in the center of the galaxy at a great distance.

Obviously, this world has had a direct encounter with the Evil God of Abundance, which was induced by the evil god to erupt and turn into a red giant, and the black fog obviously wanted to protect this world, but it failed completely, and countless debris piled up into a desert covering the stars did not achieve its goal, and the buildings on the broken planet were precisely because of this, so the surface layer was irradiated black, and everyone died from that spectacular explosion.

Joshua flew rapidly in gravityless space, he increased his speed to two thousandths of a light, and he traveled the universe around him, and he did find many traces of battle—in the outer dark space, there were indeed many drifting clouds of iron-red metal, which were the wreckage left behind by the destruction of the black fog. In the darkness, Joshua also sensed a little chaotic residual aura, which was the smell of the evil god, but there was no evil god's body around it, only a little breath remained.

Joshua even found an asteroid about one-fifth the size of World No. 3 in the dark, but after ten minutes of identification, the warrior confirmed that it was not an asteroid, but the Moon of World No. 3, which was knocked out of its orbit by the battle of two powerful beings, floating in the darkness, and he could even see a huge impact mark on the far side of the moon.

In addition to these, Joshua also found a lot of huge rune circles and crystal structures still floating in the orbit of the drifting moon, and he flew forward to look closely at the marks on these civilization creations, which Joshua confirmed were the signs of the sanctuary world.

【Omega Sanctuary】

【Federal Central, Nock Institute】

These space stations and the wreckage of magical creations suspended in the orbit of the planet are subjected to much greater stellar radiation than the buildings in the distant world of World Three, but they are many times stronger than the buildings, so that until now, the signs on them can still be clearly seen, and Joshua couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity after distinguishing the words on them...... The name Nock, though common, seemed to have been heard somewhere.

After a moment, the warrior's eyes immediately widened as he searched his database widened, and he remembered where he had heard the name.

"It's the mouth of the leader of the Sanctuary civilization when it encounters an invasion by evil gods!"

Joshua turned his head and stared at the shattered planet behind him, and he said in a deep voice: "Master Nok, the creator of the Black Mist, his team has engraved the core circle of the Black Mist...... Let's say that the building on the moon is the research institute where the Nock team is located. ”

"Then this planet is undoubtedly the manufacturing plant of the prototype of the Black Mist, where they were born!"

Just when Joshua was shocked by what he had discovered.

In World One, Priest and the others are cautiously approaching the edge of a huge crack on the surface, preparing to investigate the heavy metal circulation system unique to this world.

Their investigation was in full swing, each of them performed their own duties, controlling various instruments, searching for the composition of high-heat gas gushing in the cracks in the earth's crust, and analyzing the basic elemental composition of this world.

"Hahaha! According to the available information, the reserves of Adamantite in the depths of this world are three hundred times that of the Microf World! And even more! We are developed! ”

"Although it is difficult to mine, such a thing as a large-scale pure gold vein is enough for a legendary powerhouse to make a move! We've finally found valuable points (veins)! ”

Although Priest was also very excited, he reassured everyone: "Don't be too excited, our mission is to explore the world, and the points are only incidental - not to mention, our core goal, to find the unified big information base, if we really find it, it will be a real harvest!" ”

Hearing this, everyone calmed down a little, now is indeed not the time to forget to cheer, that's right, the exploration is not over yet, their task has not been completed, celebration or something, you can stay after the return.

And when everyone started working again, no one including Priest noticed it.

Outside the world's atmosphere, in the endless darkness, black mist invaded the atmosphere, melted into the metal cloud, and then turned into liquid droplets like rain, and thus descended into the world, invading one world crack after another...... They came silently, without any sound or vibration.

It just so happened that there was such a black mist falling towards the crack in the surface where Team Priest was located, and it turned into rain and fell into the abyss.

And everyone was still investigating the gas components that were gushing out from the depths of the earth, and they worked hard to find no clues.
