Chapter 57: That's Too Many, My Friend
What is Order?
In the void before the birth of all things, there is fire, an indescribable fire that has no form and cannot be described in words, it blooms with the light of creation, and spreads the meaning of existence to the entire multiverse today. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The first fire brought light and distinguished order from chaos, and the ashes of fire solidified to produce steel, which was the origin of countless worlds from which all matter existed.
This is the beginning of the multiverse and all life in it.
However, just as the same fire will be extinguished and the steel will decay, the world will gradually go to extinction and return to the void and chaos, and even on the corpses of the world destroyed by accident, monsters called evil gods will be born, they are the embodiment of chaos, there is no good and no evil, with the goal of returning the entire multiverse to the nothingness of the beginning of creation.
What can stop them? No, when the oldest evil gods were born, some young worlds had not yet taken shape, and resistance was futile in the face of the terrifying existence of these disorderly incarnations.
In the beginning, it was.
The primordial gods gnawed away at the bodies of the multiverse, constantly turning the world into dead chaos and returning to nothingness—they met no resistance, and destroying a world was as easy as eating a piece of cake.
This process lasted for an unknown amount of time, because there was no unit of measurement of time, and there were no intelligent beings to observe this phenomenon, countless worlds were completely destroyed during this time, and the clusters of evil gods even approached the core of the multiverse, touching the halo of the initial fire.
The suffocating darkness encroached on the light, flooding countless worlds, and the gods should have continued on their way, extinguishing the first flames until that day.
In a world of life, among those savages who only know how to survive by instinct, a certain intelligent individual carefully took out a little spark from the ashes of thunder and fire, and he cherished it as a treasure and carefully preserved it.
Soon after, the flaming torches lit up the long and dull night, symbolizing the dawn of an era.
This is the first light of wisdom.
From scattered individuals gathered into tribes, and from primitive tribes to city-states, the speed of accumulation of wisdom far exceeded the imagination of all existence, the city-states united into kingdoms, kingdoms conquered and merged with each other, and the thoughts of different beings condensed to form their unique cultures, and the prototype of civilization was born.
Wood, stone, ore, steel, tools, and technology continued to advance, and the sages even comprehended the essence of power from the phenomena of the world, creating precursors to vindictiveness and magic.
All this took only a few thousand years.
It is too difficult to encroach on a world with civilized resistance, for those evil gods who have no wisdom, pure natural disasters can only defeat them temporarily, and in just a few decades for the world and evil gods, they will return to their vitality, and even become more prosperous and powerful than before, and the march of chaos will stop, because the power of order is spreading.
Therefore, order is civilization and life -- turning disorder into order with wisdom, and turning iron into tools with wisdom, this is the meaning of 'fire', the essence of order!
As the old proverb says, "Wisdom is immortal, order is eternal", and the two complement each other and support each other.
Of course, the progress of order has also greatly increased the power of the evil gods. The ancient primordial evil gods are at most some terrifying concepts without intelligence, as the purest chaos, except for some natural disasters, they cannot even affect the operation of the orderly world, because there is no life in the wreckage of the world they were born into, let alone civilization, they are like wild beasts, acting according to the instincts of chaos.
However, the destruction of a world with life and civilization is not the same, and from the wreckage of such a world is born the existence of the 'plague evil god' and the famine evil god, although they are also the embodiment of chaos, but they have the unique wisdom of life.
These evil gods are even able to imitate those destroyed civilizations, create their own clans from their corpses, and then use this crippled civilization power to attack other worlds.
With the progress of civilization, the evil gods have become more and more terrifying, but it seems that because of this, they cannot invade any region at will like before, but can only invade those worlds that meet the conditions.
- The top floor of the Ark of Time.
Surrounded by everyone's gaze, Joshua stood in the center of the circle, he stared at the flickering magic runes in front of him, and the phantom shadow of the cyan orb was reflected in his red pupils.
The fact that the Church of the Seven Gods is not afraid of the dragon plague does not actually surprise the warriors, because everything is already different from the previous life.
The Dragon Calamity was a year ahead of schedule, and many of their plans had not yet been prepared, on the contrary, the entire continent had already learned of the conspiracy of the Five-Colored Dragon Clan, and the Northern Empire had developed an inhibitory potion that could resist the dragon disease because of the actions of the warriors even before the Dragon Calamity began, which gave the Church of the Seven Gods enough confidence to fight against the Dragon Calamity army.
You must know that the Church of the Seven Gods was besieged because most of the elite clerics had traveled around the continent to sweep away the evil and could not return for a while, and now, although it cannot be said that the main force is gathered, a few legendary dragons will definitely not be able to break through the incomparably strong defenses of the Holy Mountain.
Because of this, Pope Eagle even had the strength to send a small team of elites to explore the cracks in the abyss.
Unlike the evil gods, although the abyss also has the element of chaos, its essence is closer to life, although the demons are strange and ferocious monsters, but they are very different from the families of the evil gods - they have their own culture, and although the rule of the demon lord is brutal, it can indeed be called civilization.
Perhaps, as one mage scholar has speculated, the Abyss is a deformed being composed of countless fragments of the world, somewhere between chaos and order, and contains elements of destruction.
It is precisely because the abyss has such special characteristics that if you want to enter that kind of place, whether it is an evil god or an ordinary order life, you need to make some preparations.
Just like the circle that Joshua felt at this moment.
【Glow Tinder】
[Quality: Legendary]
[Description: The magic circle developed by the Church of the Seven Gods over the years has the ability to expel chaos and spread order]
[The test product completed after several improvements to the environment of the Abyss of Anos greatly reduces the purification effect of the chaotic region outside the Abyss of Anos]
[The power from the sages pulsates in the depths of the circle, and you can feel the breath of the pure white staff, because the design is not perfect, and it still needs to use the power of order to drive it with all your might]
[--This is the spark of order.] 】
"Eagle has found a way to use the power of order without relying on the relics of the sages." Feeling the surging power within the magic circle, Joshua muttered in a low voice, "He is ahead of everyone and deserves to be the first person in the continent today. ”
The warrior's tone was full of admiration, if Pope Eagle had been born in the Age of Wilderness, he would have been one of the sages who led human civilization forward, and the Shining Flame as a magic circle that could open up a shelter in a chaotic environment had epoch-making significance, which meant that human beings could no longer wait in vain for the chaos invasion to fight back, but could freely launch a counterattack.
Although the current one seems to have a trace of flaws, it is harmless, anyway, according to the time of the previous life, within five years, there will be a full version that only needs positive energy.
Thinking of this, Joshua didn't hesitate, he immediately mobilized the power of the Azure Orb in his body and tried to drive this huge magic circle.
However, just as the warrior's will came into contact with the orb located in his heart, this sage's inheritance released a large amount of knowledge and information, which reached Joshua's mind, and suddenly encountered this kind of attack, even if his will was as hard as iron, he couldn't help but be stunned for a second or two.
The Azure Orb that once sealed the caretaker was unsealed as the Azure Orb inherited by the sage in Joshua's continuous destruction of chaos, but this sage's relic actually did not open its inheritance to the warriors as everyone thought.
It does give the warrior a lot of power, whether it is killing the chaos monster to transform the life force or the form of the king of the burning soul, this is the ability that the Azure Orb gave to Joshua, but it is only the ability, the relic of this sage seems to know that Joshua only has battle in his heart, so he only gives him the power to fight, and it does not say anything about many ancient times of Mixin and information about the sages, as if it is just a treasure that contains the power of order.
But now, the Azure Orb suddenly went against the norm and took the initiative to pass on a lot of information to the warriors.
"The Meaning of Order ......"
Feeling the knowledge suddenly transmitted by the Azure Orb, Joshua read it carefully, and then smiled lightly: "It's okay no matter what, anyway, there must be a fight." ”
Shaking his head, he didn't care what the meaning behind the Azure Orb's abnormal reaction was, but single-mindedly mobilized the power of order and poured it into the magic circle.
Although he thought about a lot of things, all this was only a few seconds in reality, and for the three members of the church who watched Joshua control the magic circle, the warrior was only stunned for a few seconds, and then began to seriously instill the power of order, and cooperated with the Molten Core Star to completely activate the glow fire array.
It was nothing, but after a few seconds, something felt wrong.
"Wait! Mr. Joshua, there is no need to infuse so much power of order! ”
Grand Nun Saya had a sharper sense than the two paladins beside her, so she immediately noticed the source of the apocalypse - probably because the warrior was a little absent-minded at this time, so he was desperately instilling the power of order into the circle as if he didn't want money!
With the Holy Light above, they just wanted Joshua to test whether the magic circle could work and whether it could be controlled smoothly, this level of order power was enough to drown a few high-level demons alive!
"What?"
Joshua also sensed that something was wrong at this time, and in the final analysis, he was still affected by the information about the meaning of order in the Azure Orb - when instilling the power of order, the warrior's head appeared with the phantoms of various evil gods, and then subconsciously used all his strength.
Extreme Italian full force.
There is a world of difference between the Extreme Intention and the gold-level power, and when Joshua returned from the Ilgena World, the power of order of the Azure Orb had already been stored up because of the battle with the evil god, and at this moment, he instilled it with all his strength for almost ten seconds, and for a moment he didn't know how much power he used, and the development of things was suddenly out of control.
"Stop!"
At this moment, Robzek and Lolanda also reacted, and the two of them were suddenly shocked and covered with cold sweat, the magic circle on the Time was arranged by Pope Eagle himself, and the amplitude of the power can only be described as unbelievable, usually just the energy overflowing from the Fusion Core Star can supply the entire Ark for use, not to mention the power that the warrior has poured into at this moment?
The two paladins tried to stop them, but it was too late, and a blinding flash of light burst out of the circle, and the surging force of order pushed them back several steps in an instant, Lolanda was almost powerless to resist, and Robzek was able to stand firm after a few steps back, but he could not continue to move forward.
In the cabin of the Ark Time, the elven boy who was lying quietly on the bed, and had closed his eyes, was about to fall asleep, but with a loud bang, the almost materialized force of order swept through the entire hull in defiance of all material obstacles, which made all the staff on the ark stop their work in shock, and also made a certain giant beast swimming at the bottom of the ship also shiver, in addition, it made Hill wake up from half sleep, he sat up from the bed suddenly, and looked around in disbelief:" What is it?! So scary?! ”
Just as he was asking this question, a silver pillar of light centered on the Time Signal and plunged straight into the sky, tearing through the thick clouds above the Abyss of Anos, turning half of the sky into white, and in addition to that, it attracted the chaotic power that was gathering momentum in advance.
The Abyss of Anos, which is known as the never-ending storm, is almost impossible to have no wind and no waves, even if there is, it is to accumulate strength for a bigger storm, Hill's previous prediction of the windless period is exactly like this, in his calculations, this windless period can last about three days, and then there will be a huge storm far beyond the past, but now, because of Joshua, the terrifying order fluctuations spread, and the abyssal aura in this sea area has conflicted, under the huge energy changes, The storm was triggered in advance.
Suddenly, lightning and thunder roared in mid-air, purple and cyan lightning shuttled through layers of cumulus clouds like a spider web, and a huge cyclone was slowly forming in the sea not far away, accompanied by more and more turbulent waves, downpours and strong winds descended together, and the originally clear sea and sky became blurred by the rain in an instant, as if the whole world was covered with dark paint.
"Sister Saya...... What's going on? ”
The Grand Nun was originally standing on the side of the circle, using the crystal shield to resist the surging power of order, but she suddenly heard a timid voice behind her, and Saya subconsciously turned her head to see a petite girl with long gray hair.
This girl is beautiful, she looks about sixteen or seventeen years old, even after seeing the great nun, the nervous expression on her face has not faded, she glanced at the pillar of order like a substance with some fear, and then gently grabbed the back of the big nun's robe, and said in a small voice: "I finished my experiment just now, I wanted to find my sister to take a look, but I was startled by this force......
The girl's voice was already soft, not to mention that she looked like she was about to cry out in fright, her voice was intermittent, and when Saya saw this, she could only turn her head, hold the girl in her arms and comfort: "It's okay, Nono, it's just an inconsequential little accident......"
When the girl named Nuno heard this, she blinked her big eyes, and she subconsciously glanced at the surging silver pillar of light that was stirring the entire sky, and her blue pupils revealed doubt.
Seeing the girl's expression, Miss Nun's face was also complicated, she turned her head sideways, looked at the pillar of light that was still continuing to release the power of order towards the sky, and could only sigh and say, "It's actually quite serious...... But don't worry, we can fix it - Nono, you go back to the lab first, and I'll look for you later. ”
"Oh, okay."
Nodding obediently, the girl turned her head and walked towards the passage leading to the inside of the ark, but before entering the ark, Nuno still turned her head, looked at the pillar of light that made her feel a little frightened, and whispered to herself: "Is it another extremely strong person?" ”
When she said this, her expression became a little mature: "The church really has a deep foundation, and it actually invited another strong person of this level......
It wasn't just the people on the ark who were frightened by this pillar of light.
Over the far sea, among the endless flowing clouds.
A huge low-pressure cyclone was forming not far away, and the rain clouds were attracted by that force, so the howling wind seemed to be a torrent in the sky, driving the thick clouds in that direction.
And a huge existence is riding this wind, flying silently, its breath is completely obscured by the wind and clouds, even if it is detected by high-level divine arts, it is difficult to detect the trace.
The black dragon Mandagar is heading in the direction of the Abyss of Anos, except for a small part of the facial features and brain on the skull, almost all of its body has turned into a black crystal-like form, which allows the black dragon to freely change the structure of its body, reduce wind resistance, and greatly reduce the possibility of being detected by spells.
Killing his former apprentice was not a big deal for the black dragon, who originally belonged to the evil camp, but even Mandagar was unwilling to bear the harsh reproach of the Elders, so after a little preparation, it immediately went to the far sea, preparing to find a sea beast, absorb its life force to complete its form transformation, and then go to the Abyss of Anos to guard the abyss rift.
But for some reason, the sea beasts near the Abyss of Anos either entered the interior of the sea, or all ran to other seas thousands of miles away, so Mandagarh had to go to the Abyss of Anos in search of prey.
It was flying calmly, but suddenly, a rumbling sound like thunder came from afar, which immediately raised the black dragon's vigilance.
But it was useless to be vigilant, I saw a silver-white pillar of light in the distance from the ground straight into the sky, 'boom' broke through the clouds, and the clouds in half of the sky shook like water waves, causing layers of ripples, and at the same time, the power of the incredible order swept through, and the breath of the abyss reacted with it, blooming dense thunder in the clouds.
As an old black dragon, Mandagarh has long been ready for battle, but the sudden thunderstorm is still unexpected, and in desperation, it can only temporarily break away from the clouds and quickly dive into the sea, but because there is too much thunder, the black dragon was accidentally hit by a purple lightning on its wings, so that it was in the wrong posture when it was submerged in the water, and splashed a lot of water.
"This ...... What the hell is going on!? ”
Slowly rising from the sea, Mandagar looked at the area where the pillar of light rose in the distance with an angry and inexplicable expression, which was located in the middle of the Abyss of Anos, and was about to enter the core area, it cautiously and disgusted to feel the power of order coming from the air, and said with some gritted teeth: "Church of the Seven Gods...... Sure enough, it's you! ”
"Wait, when I completely complete the form transformation, I must turn all of you into my living crystal nourishment!"
As he spoke, it seemed to sense something, and its originally angry expression suddenly calmed down a lot, and Mandagarh's hideous dragon face distorted slightly, revealing a sneer for the dragon: "It seems that I don't need to go, those giant beasts seem to hate this kind of light too." ”
At the same time, under the surface of the sea of the Abyss of Anos.
A large shadow was rapidly moving towards the Time.
