After hearing Joshua's words, the two legendary mages looked at each other strangely, and then, William coughed and said with some hesitation: "That, Joshua, although it is said that when the ancient dragon wakes up from his deep sleep, it will indeed cause earth-shattering visions and attract the attention of countless worlds...... But this time, it's obvious that you took the initiative to wake it up early, right? ”

"It's not like I can't understand your eagerness to fight Gu Long, but I have to say that your behavior just now is indeed a bit strange - at least not like your normal behavior."

Barnier was also manipulating the runes on the experimental bench to calculate the coordinates of the world where the ancient dragon was located, and a huge rune light screen several meters high had been condensed in front of him, in which countless information streams fell like a waterfall, the rune master did not turn his head, but turned his back to Joshua, his tone this time was not as casual as before, but serious with a little warning: "Although William and I have not known you for long, your deeds have been circulated among all legendary powerhouses, and your actions in the past are indeed decisive, but not reckless...... This time it's a little different. ”

And after Joshua heard the words of the two legendary mages, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and it wasn't until now that he reacted slightly, he had done some slightly radical actions in some inexplicable state of mind.

"Your mind isn't reaching its limit."

At this time, it was William who spoke, he also turned his head, but his tone was not as heavy as Barnier's, the Mind Master smiled, and said lightly: "This is normal, but all minds, there will be loopholes, although your spiritual barrier is very strong, but just like glass and diamonds, the hardest, but also the most fragile." Your heart is the crystallization of high pressure and scorching heat deep underground, hard, sharp, like a blade, but too easy to go to extremes...... I don't know if it's in your nature or if it's something else, but it should be enough to get a little bit of a problem. ”

For the two legendary mages, Joshua's current situation is not surprising, all the legendary powerhouses are more or less quirky, and they also have capricious capital. It's not a bad habit to be war-loving, it's just that because of their years of experience as elders, they can't help but want to mention a few words about the warriors and impart some life lessons.

“…… Taught, thank you. ”

Hearing this, Joshua couldn't help frowning, he turned around, no longer disturbed the work of the two legendary mages, and then hurriedly walked through the central corridor of the experimental airship towards the exit located in mid-air.

In the middle of the way, Ciel and Fina, who had been experimenting with Barnier and William on the ancient dragon bloodline for the past two months, also appeared on the side of the corridor, and they saw Joshua with a serious expression, and they didn't think much else, so they smiled and raised their hands to say hello as they used to do - but strangely, at this time, Joshua seemed to ignore the two of them, and continued to walk towards the exit with a frown, ignoring the greetings of the two.

“…… Joshua, what's going on......"

"Didn't he hear us?"

"How is it possible, he is a legendary powerhouse, the last time we went to the Great Ajax Mountains for experiments, he heard the breath of the rock dragon lurking deep underground from three mountains - it is impossible not to hear it!"

Facing Joshua, who had disappeared around the corner and did not react to the words of the two of them, Ciel and Fina were also puzzled, and the elf druid couldn't think of a reason after meditating: "It's strange - although Count Radcliffe looks a little scary, he shouldn't be a person with any shelf...... Is something wrong? ”

Not to mention the dragon knights who were going to ask Barnier and William, at this time, Joshua had already stepped out of the experimental airship in the Great Ajax Mountains and came to the cold high-altitude wind in the early spring of the Northlands. The cold wind that was enough to freeze the ice and frost could not reach his body at all, and he was deflected in another direction by the powerful stance shield dozens of meters away. Joshua looked down on the mountains and the Northlands, with peaks, ice fields, rivers, cities, and villages, and his eyes could reach the edge of the horizon and see caravans flying in the distance. Moldavia is now thriving because of him, gradually becoming the northernmost economic center of the continent.

The existence of a legendary powerhouse can change many things, a strong strength can reverse the course of the world, and it can reverse the tide of fate, as a strong man, Joshua has changed the history he once knew, the past he has experienced, and the future of the McCrove world he can no longer predict, this is exactly what he wants.

But if it is he who has changed......

"What a headache, how did those guys manage to not be affected?"

According to the thoughts in Zhu Zhu's heart, Joshua's eyes were a little scattered, he looked up at the sky, and the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground in the void had been stabilized in the periphery of Fairy Township by several legendary powerhouses led by Iger, together with major forces, ending its thousand-year-long ring operation. Looking at this scene, Joshua's heart relaxed a little for some reason, and his gaze re-condensed: "Fortunately, I have been prepared for a long time. ”

In the next moment, Joshua's figure disappeared, and only a long arc of light could be seen piercing the sky, reaching the main city of Moldavia.

The main city, the top floor of the Lord's Palace.

Number 3 sat bored on the battlements at the edge of the tower, her legs dangling in the air, kicking her calves with a 2/4 beat. Today's Miss Artificial Intelligence costume is a white dress and small brown leather shoes, if a normal girl is dressed like this, it may feel a little cold, but for the magic projection, the temperature is a meaningless thing. Although she seems to be lazy, in reality, 3 is watching all the restless elements in the entire city, and through the optimized cloud algorithm, she has been able to ignore the data of most normal people, and focus her computing power on those who seem to be in trouble, monitoring their every move in real time.

But suddenly, the sharpest alarm suddenly sounded in No. 3's mind, she noticed that there was a red arc of light in the middle of the air that cut through the clouds, reaching the lord's mansion, and the violent wind descended on the main city, blowing away all the remaining snow around the lord's mansion, and the artificial intelligence girl who instinctively recognized this light as some kind of extraordinary blow subconsciously stood up, wanting to stand up her most powerful magic shield to defend, but after a hundredth of a second, she realized that it was the trajectory left by the owner of the city, Joshua van Radcliffe.

"Joshua? Your sudden landing will scare a lot of people's ......"

Because she stood up, the magic projection of No. 3 fell from the edge of the top floor of the Lord's Mansion, looking like a girl jumping off the building to commit suicide, but soon, the frightened No. 3 swayed up from the air, and she slowly approached Joshua, who had landed on the top floor of the Lord's Mansion, but was still facing away from her, and then complained quite dissatisfied: "If you land a little heavier, the top floor of the castle will be crushed by you at that time...... Wow! ”

In the middle of speaking, No. 3 suddenly exclaimed, because Joshua suddenly turned around at this moment, pressed his hands on her shoulders, felt the heavy hands of the warrior, and the girl's words began to tremble: "Joe...... Joshua, what are you doing here? Wait, what's wrong with you? ”

Although she was a little out of shape for a moment because of Joshua's sudden action, Number 3 quickly returned to her normal tone, she looked up at Joshua's face, and was surprised to find that the warrior's eyes flashed with a strange red light. Although the Radcliffe family is born with red eyes, the red light is not pure red, but a divine light that emanates from the depths of the soul: "Your eyes are glowing—the light is strange, but there is an inexplicable sanctity and majesty. ”

"The situation is urgent."

Joshua spoke at this time, his tone was heavy, and he said word by word: "But I have long guessed that there will be this moment...... No. 3, didn't I ask you to help keep some information last time? Now is the time to use it. ”

"So fast? Has it come to this point? ”

Although she still felt a little strange about Joshua's abnormal behavior, No. 3 breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that she was going to use 'that thing', and she had already roughly guessed Joshua's state at this time: "Okay, you let go first, and I'll extract the information again immediately." ”

Hearing this, Joshua silently let go of the hand that was pressed on No. 3's shoulder, and the AI girl sighed: "I didn't believe that you would get to that point so quickly...... But plans can't keep up with the changes. ”

"That's true."

Joshua replied as he saw Number 3 close his eyes and release a hazy violet glow from all over his body, and a huge stream of information flowed from the rune crystals of the main body under her control, and then converged on the girl's chest. A moment later, Number 3 reopened her eyes, her face slightly pale, and in front of her chest, a fist-sized, heart-beating silver glow was emitting a steely glow.

The girl silently handed it to the warrior, and Joshua took the steel power he had given to Number 3. He held it in the palm of his hand, and his whole body began to flow with a hazy silver glow like 3 good. This mass of steel power contained an extremely large amount of information, and even Joshua took a long time to fully digest it. After a long time, the warrior took a long breath and said in a low voice: "Judging from the comparison, in less than a year, the erosion has already reached this point. ”

"Joshua, what's wrong with you?"

Slowly approaching the warrior, Number 3 stood beside Joshua with her hands behind her back, she poked her head out and asked in a low voice, "You're a little rude today—you didn't do that before." ”

"It's my fault. Inadvertently, the influence of divinity has begun to become manifest. ”

Completely integrating the steel power light in his hand into himself, the red light that flickered in Joshua's eyes began to fall silent, and then gradually replaced by a silver glow. The warrior was silent for a moment, then said in a slightly tired tone: "When I first discovered that the power of steel could store all my own information, I had the idea of simplifying some of my key thinking logic into algorithms similar to artificial intelligence, and then storing them in your ontology. It is a benchmark that can always determine the changes in my own mind, and through you, I can always review my own mental changes, so as not to be accidentally seduced by evil gods or other legendary powerhouses without knowing it. ”

"I don't think there's ...... need to ," 3 shook his head and sighed.

"It's necessary. I have to be careful, the most terrifying thing about demons and evil gods is not the destructive power, but the ability to corrupt people's hearts unconsciously, and I am always on the lookout for this, and I am prepared for the worst. The funny thing is that now it seems that the enemy cannot defeat me, neither the demon nor the evil god corrupts my mind, but my divinity, myself, is changing myself. ”

At this time, Joshua had already quickly perceived some subtleties in the depths of his soul that had begun to gradually transform through the logic of his previous thinking stored in the No. 3 body. After comparing them one by one, he found that his general direction had not changed much, but his personality had indeed become a lot more radical than before.

Although the former warriors were belligerent, they did not move when they encountered people. A madman and a warmonger may sound similar, but in the final analysis they are two different things, and if others are unwilling, then Joshua will not force his hand.

But this time...... Meet the ancient dragon.

Thinking of this, Joshua took a deep breath. This breath swallowed up almost all the free energy around the Lord's Mansion and even over the main city of Moldalvi, and even temporarily formed the realm of death magic power. And this action calmed him down a little.

After seeing the ancient dragon, Joshua felt the desire in his heart...... No, not a desire, but a strong, as if taken for granted, an irrepressible urge that makes him want to kill the other and plunder everything from the other person. He wanted to peel the skin and cramp the ancient dragon, and even swallow all the flesh and bones.

Kill, Destroy, Fight, Evolve...... The impulse that came out of nowhere was transforming his soul.

Because in the world of stars, the frenzied slaughter of millions of void monsters, unconsciously, some traits in Joshua's body are merging, and divinity is growing in his body, as if the bearers who cheer them are gradually confirming the truth they represent. The Divinity truly recognizes him as the agent of all that kills and destroys, fights and evolves in the world.

It recognizes him and wants him to be it.

No one had ever been able to get to this point so quickly, and No. 3 was surprised when he learned what Joshua was worried about at the beginning - because according to what Ogel and Xingzheng had said, this step was a prelude to ascending to the gods, but the previous gods had to save hundreds of years to barely touch that barrier. But the AI girl doesn't know that on the other side of the multiverse, there is a civilization that worships the warrior in her eyes as a true god, and his faith has begun to spread on a planetary basis, a privilege that many Glorious Age Microf gods cannot get.

It was an inevitable coincidence that caused the situation today.

The killing in the world of stars, and the faith he received in the world of stars, for Joshua, were just things he should have done, and he deserved to be rewarded, but it was because of this recognition that all this was an ordinary thing that perfectly matched the conditions of divinity. This time he saw the performance of the warrior of the ancient dragon queen, which was a sign of some subtle influence: Joshua completely ignored the fact that the other party was also an intelligent life, and he thought that he would just rely on the first episode to test the depth of the other party, and then the next time they met, he would be separated from the powerful giant beast.

"I've not been in great shape lately. Number 3, I need you to be by my side lately, and I need to always make sure that my thinking is not wrong. ”

With No. 3, Joshua slowly walked into the lord's mansion, he came to the second floor, and entered the room that he rarely entered, Joshua sat on his big chair, closed his eyes with a frown, and said in a somewhat tired tone: "Think about it carefully, the challenge to Eagle is also - how can I not understand the strength of the old pope?" Even if he doesn't rely on the speed of light realm, he can defeat me with his strong strength, but it will take a little longer. ”

Then he was silent for a while. Joshua recalled William's words. William's title is the master of the mind, the master of the mind, and he is the strongest spellcaster in the realm of psionic and psychic powers in this world. His perception of himself was strong enough, but not tenacious enough, and he didn't reach the limits of his heart.

"Soul Extreme...... Indeed, I am still missing this. Even when I arrived at Legendary, I wasn't in my most perfect form. ”

Leaning back in his chair, Joshua muttered to himself. He knew that he might need to consult someone before he went to find the trail of the dragon. Otherwise, before the next battle, his current self may be out of control at any time, and he is completely an unstable bomb, and God knows if he will attack his comrades.

And just as Joshua was thinking about how he should be able to resist the erosion of divinity and reach the limit of his soul, he suddenly felt that a pair of hands were wrapped around his neck from behind and hugged his head.

"Alright, Joshua, don't worry too much."

A gentle and soft voice came from behind the warrior, and Number 3 stood behind Joshua, and she whispered in a calm and gentle tone in his ear, "It's the first time I've seen you so worried...... Even in the face of the apostle of the evil god, the natural disaster descended by the evil god, you have never shown such an expression. ”

"Such a terrible enemy can't make you lose color, does facing your own instincts make you feel afraid?"

"No, it's just ......"

Joshua wanted to explain, but then, he kept his mouth shut. The warrior stretched out his hand and untied the girl's arm around his neck, he stood up and chuckled, "I didn't expect to be comforted by you." Before I knew it, I had become so vulnerable. ”

"Thanks, Number Three."

"What's there to be thankful for...... In my eyes, you've never changed. ”

Letting go of her hand, Number 3 shook her head, and the AI girl floating in mid-air stared at Joshua's back, but did not continue.

Whatever others think, Joshua, in my eyes.

You who saved me from the world of Callis, which was on the verge of destruction.

Always the same hero.
