Chapter Thirty-Eight: Hell in the Heart
Lowering his head, Joshua said in a deep voice, "Great, greatβbut equally mad!" β
In response, Eagle exhaled, he lowered his head again, looked at the tiny organic molecular structure, and his heart was no longer a doubt, but an inexplicable shock.
"Great indeed...... It is unimaginable that such a grand idea and plan was actually designed by an existence like Black Mist, who only knows destruction. The old Pope muttered, "Where is this madness? It simply became the creator, creating a whole new world and creating a civilization of its own! β
And Joshua took a deep breath, he looked around the turbid and dark sea with some cold eyes, and finally, stopped at the old pope. He said in a cold voice: "Your Majesty, don't be compassionate!" β
"How much information, how much experience, does it take to shape a whole new world? Think of that galaxy, with such a huge force of steel, and countless broken, incomplete rudiments of the world, what do you think those are? Black Mist Mother Toy? It's all its test subjects, damaged, and unusable! β
"How many worlds did it destroy, how much energy it collected, and then how many mistakes it made and how many lives it wasted to create such a sea of creation? Millions of years? According to the speed at which the black fog destroys civilization and spreads to the outside world, this world galaxy is not enough for it to eat in one bite! β
Eagle immediately understood his mistake, and he sighed, not knowing what to say: "But you are for this...... The most primitive life, and ask the gods to strip the Alpha Sanctuary from the Black Mist Matrix, these energies are all your savings. β
"No matter how many worlds the black fog has destroyed, how many times it has been experimented with to create this new world and ecological environment...... Life itself is innocent. β
Joshua closed his eyes: "What's more, there is nothing wrong with the shelter civilization in the first place. β
Yes, there is nothing wrong with the sanctuary civilization itself.
If you have to say it wrong, then the only mistake is to create a black fog...... Just like the mistake of the glorious civilization, it opened the door of all worlds. β
When Joshua and Eagle left the bottom of the deep sea and returned to the continent of the Alpha Sanctuary World, the old Pope looked down on this crimson sea - under the environmental influence of the elements and the black fog, primitive life may appear in thousands to tens of thousands of years, and then rapidly evolve into a complete life world in millions of years, and the reborn Sanctuary race will be created by their own creation.
It's a fateful reincarnation, like a ring.
"But in the final analysis, it was the Glorious Civilization that opened the door to all worlds first.
He muttered in a low voice, "What if...... Nothing will happen. β
This is the second time he has said this, or the third time, maybe Eagle himself is not aware of this subconscious guilt and regret, but on the side, Joshua, who has been silent, can't stand it anymore.
"Your Majesty, you have been saying these words since the time the Black Mist Mother was sealed." Joshua stopped flying out of the world, he stayed in mid-air, stood at the top of a cloud of hot steam, and said in a tone of helplessness mixed with irritation, "When did you become so pedantic?" Yes, the glorious civilization, the sages and gods created the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground, opened the gates of the Ten Thousand Worlds, and then more than four hundred abyssal planes invaded en masse - we all know the origin of the final battle in the first place, but what does this have to do with the fault? β
"The Ten Thousand Worlds Project is the path designed by the Glorious Age to prepare for a multiverse-level civilization, and this plan was maliciously destroyed by the abyss and evil gods at the very beginning, and the civilization of our ancestors was also destroyed as a result - Your Majesty, don't you have a little hatred for chaos in your heart, but you still blame yourself?"
For the Glorious Age, Joshua has never had any awe to look up to, he has always communicated with any being as an equal member, facing Yeagle, who frowned, as if he wanted to say something, Joshua did not pause, and continued to say in a slightly angry voice: "Someone has sabotaged your plans, destroyed your homeland, these monsters have come from afar, and by the way, destroyed all the towns along the wayβyes, those civilizations that have been affected have the right to resent us and our ancestors, and scold us and the glorious civilization for their vileness and arrogance, But you can't, I can't, no one in the Starfall Civilization must think like this, not a single star!"
Speaking of this, his voice gradually became louder: "It's not some magic experiment failure that blew up the entire space-time realm, it's an evil being who took the initiative to invade us!" If we don't hate chaos and the chaos of the abyss, do we have to blame a civilization for its instinct to progress?! β
"Okay, then stay in a small world, be a closed civilization for a lifetime, don't take a step out of the void, just starve to death like famine, and create another famine evil god!"
"No, Joshua ......"
Eagle raised one hand and pressed his forehead in some pain, and he whispered, "You know, that's not what I meantβI just wanted to say that I never thought that the war between the ancestors and the evil gods would affect so many worlds and so many civilizations...... I never thought that the reason why the galaxy of the whole world is so bleak is that there will be a share of our ......"
The old Pope recalled the results of that deep-space observation again, and the dim and empty model of the galaxy left the deepest imprint on the hearts of everyone at that time, even as a legendary powerhouse.
In other words, it is precisely because Eagle is a legendary powerhouse, as the strongest person in the mortal world who can represent the Microf civilization, that the pain of loneliness and confusion and the invisible mark are the deepest.
If- If-
"How nice it would be if it didn't work out like this......" was the old pope's last sigh.
But there are no ifs.
Listening to Iger's words, Joshua clenched his fists, and a nameless anger that had been suppressed in his heart from a long time ago, when the Black Mist Mother was sealed, began to surge, and a layer of golden-red fire began to glow on the surface of his body, as if it was about to obey the wrath of his lord and burn, but this flame was suppressed, replaced by a low, but shaking roar: "It has happened!" The Sanctuary civilization was destroyed, and more civilizations were destroyed by evil gods more than a thousand years ago! β
"What can we do? Pray for them? Silence for them? Say we sympathize with them and regret such an outcome?
We should apologize and broadcast to the whole Void that it was all an accident and we don't want to be like that - we should just fucking bow our heads and brow down at this damn multiverse and say 'yes, it's our fault'?! β
Stop fucking kidding!
Joshua didn't look at Iger, but turned his back to the earth of the sanctuary world and took a heavy step forward, towards the void that led to the world beyond.
"Throw in the towel for this damn multiverse?"
His tone was terrifyingly oppressive, and the voice itself seemed to tear the atmosphere apart, tearing everything to pieces: "I will never, we will always, mankind, all intelligent life, never, and should never say so." β
"We are here to be entangled for thousands of years, ten thousand years, and whose fault it is for 100 million epochs, the cycle of destruction will not change, and the wheel of sorrow of the rotation of chaos and order will not stop!"
"The tide of evil gods is about to sweep the multiverse again, Iger, His Majesty the Pope, to whom is your compassion to give? Even if I just say what I know, the world that was almost destroyed, I can name several names - do you want to love your fellow human beings, or do you want to love someone from another world? β
There was silence for a long time.
All that remained was the sound of a steam storm rolling in the atmosphere and hissing high in the sky.
Eagle's throat rolled, and the old man's face became more old in an instant, but finally, he closed his eyes, opened them, and said in a deep voice, "You're right...... I am Mrs. McCro's Pope, yes, and always will be, even just. β
"I'll go first."
After saying that, the old Pope turned into endless light, pierced through the void in an instant, and left the world of the Alpha Sanctuary.
Joshua, on the other hand, stood still, bowing his head in solitude, staring at the atmosphere, the sea, and the land. Gaze at this filthy, red-black world.
St. Iger chose to love his fellow man.
And what the sages chose was to love the entire multiverse.
Everything is your own fault, so you have to bear the consequences of all this and put an end to the origin of all these mistakes.
Shameless in the face of this destruction of the sage left his homeland in embarrassment, he can no longer bear the existence of evil gods and the recurrence of chaos, he wants to go to the center of the multiverse, to end this cycle, to eradicate all sorrow from the root.
Who's to say that's wrong...... It's just the era of starfall, but you have to drink the bitter fruit brewed by your predecessors.
Joshua walked silently, leaving the sanctuary world, and he came to the outer side of the world barrier, and reappeared in the core seal.
Despicable ...... Mrs. McCrowe! γ
The Black Mist Mother noticed the appearance of the warrior, it didn't know what Joshua and Eagle were doing in the Alpha Shelter, but it would definitely think for the worst, so this huge, angry, ancient being that had been sealed with all the special superpowers once again stretched out its tentacles and smashed down on Joshua!
But all this is meaningless, there is no blackbody absorption, there is no void sweeping wings, there is no gravity well disturbance, there are no those strange and terrifying weapons, the simple mass shock is ridiculous to Joshua in the form of a neutron star, the insignificant breeze blows, the warrior even turns around, indifferently exposing his back, and then stretches out his hand and touches the Alpha Shelter world.
"Listen."
He said this, not knowing whether he was talking to the black fog, or to the world, or to the destroyed sanctuary civilization, or simply to himself, Joshua said in a calm tone, "It's all over...... It's just getting started. β
"Even if you don't want to, it's useless. You are dead, destroyed, civilizations and races are gone, and there is no longer any way to resist our predation. We will decompose and absorb all your civilization, culture and knowledge and turn them into our nourishment.
We will move forward, and the food in our belly will provide energy. We will move forward, and your thoughts will be transformed into our new beliefs.
We will remember what you have suffered, and we will take up the burden you have carried, whether it may be insignificant, it may be quiet, it may be a flash in the pan, it may be a fleeting wave, but you will be part of us.
And then we'll keep going. β
Joshua didn't care about the roar of the Black Mist Mother, didn't resist the other party's increasingly violent attack, but the actual strength became weaker and weaker, he endured countless attacks like this, turned around and strode towards the transparent part of the seal.
Despicable or arrogant.
Civilization should march toward the end of the multiverse.
- I will walk through this starry sky, burn all the darkness, I will destroy all the evil gods, I will destroy all the chaos, I will pull the possible mastermind out of the cracks in the abyss, and then burn it into quarks and throw it into the black hole.
We will pay the price, and they will be no exception to the mistakes of our ancestors, and they will be punished for what they have done.
It's up to me to settle all this.
Joshua closed his eyes, and he passed the transparent seal, countless complex textures condensed behind him, and finally reattached the seal. He opened his eyes again, and the entire multidimensional seal began to rumble and vibrate, and it was an endless and majestic energy input from Joshua's body at the core of the seal, which was used to strip the Alpha Sanctuary world from the black mist matrix.
And the resistance of the Black Mist Mother was unexpectedly weak, it seemed to know the purpose of the warriors, that they had done nothing, that Mrs. McCro had stripped the Alpha World from her body...... Therefore, it was helpless, unwilling, and painfully let go of its hand.
Alpha Sanctuary World, it is the light in the black fog, the light in the darkness.
This is the eternal light of the Black Mist and the Mother, deeper than the darkness, more alluring than hope, and it is precisely because of it that the Black Mist Mother will not be able to escape, will stick to its place, even in the face of destruction, it is fearless.
This world is a sanctuary civilization, the eternal light of the black fog.
And what about ours?
"Teacher...... What happened to him under the papal crown? β
Joshua heard Priest's confused voice suddenly sound beside him, and he turned his head sideways, glanced at the other party, and said softly, "It's nothing, Your Majesty just realized that self-blame is meaningless...... All we can do is to fulfill our responsibilities as human beings and as members of civilization. β
Joshua left the multidimensional seal with Priest, who was still a little nervous, and they crossed layer after layer of space-time seals, crossing one level after another, and the warrior said in an unhurried tone: "Priest, you once prayed for absolute protection for me. β
"Yes, teacher." The young warrior nodded vigorously, and without hesitation, he said, "I still remember it now. β
But Joshua shook his head: "Priest, there are no absolutes in shelter. β
"No matter how strong the protection is, no matter how long the persistence is, it will become fragile and gradually destroyed in the evolution of time. Even if the world, the planets, the stars, and the great civilization are comparable to the evil god Black Mist, the ending is nothing more than that. β
The warrior whispered, "If you want to keep the person or thing you want to protect safe forever, there's only one way. β
"That is to destroy your enemies, all, not a single one."
ββ¦β¦β
The two returned to World One, where Priest stayed to continue his training, and where the warrior connected to the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground, a few seconds later, the powerful power of time and space distorted the heavens and the earth, and he was in the void beyond the Mycrof world in a short instant.
In my heart is a hell of destruction and killing.
Without directly teleporting into the interior of the world, Joshua slowly approached the barrier of the McCrof world, he gently stretched out his hand, and pasted the shell of the world with the palm of his hand, his movements were extremely gentle, as if a human was caressing a potted plant in the palm of his hand, touching an incomparably fragile cherished artifact.
That's why I love all of this.
It's a pitiful ......
World.
