Chapter 55: The World's Mandate
Beyond the heavens and the earth, in the endless void, there are stars that cannot be measured by numbers.
Behind that shining light, there may be a giant island floating in the sky, or a continent surrounded by the sea and the sky, or another boundless vast starry sky, with countless planets revolving around burning stars. Under the light of the flames, countless races multiply on the land and develop their own civilizations, and when they can break through the barriers of space and enter the void, it means that another civilization has come out of its infancy, opened its eyes, and watched this multiverse.
At that time, they will see the most vast scene in the world, and they will be shocked and lamented their own insignificance.
And the steel python Karlis, at this time, showed such a scene for Joshua.
The initial fire burns chaos, its light illuminates the void, making nothing come into being, making extinction turn into life, billions of trillions of trillions of endless points of light like the purest diamonds, flashing their own brilliant brilliance under the urging of the great demon tide that swept the multiverse, this scene is difficult to describe in words, even the warriors are speechless, but at this moment, the abrupt, endless light began to extinguish.
It was as if the lights in the city were extinguished one after another, and the countless shining lights of the world dimmed one after another, looking like children blowing out candles, and they simply disappeared into the void and ceased to exist.
The stars lost their light.
If there was one person who could look at the entire multiverse that counted endlessly, he would be shocked to find that with the light of the fluctuating Great Demon Tide as the origin, there were countless dense black shadows that were expanding and spreading along the waves of the Demon Tide, and the world around them was dimmed and silent in the middle of breathing, like a flickering spark falling into the sea, and a extinguished bonfire covered in snow.
It was a tide of darkness that swept across all worlds, and from it the tide of the end that never ceased, and even the extreme brilliance generated by the collapse of the world could not illuminate it.
And the beings that thrive in this multiverse are filled with awe, fear, and disgust, and call these sources of spreading darkness the 'Great Destroyer'.
That is, in the mouth of all those in the Microf world, the evil god.
"They're back."
Karlis stared at the huge curtain of light projected by it, and the will of the world said in a calm tone without the slightest wave: "Thirteen hundred years ago, they wandered into the depths of the multiverse, and now, the waves generated by the Great Demon Tide have sent them back to their former starting point. ”
"So, how far are they from us now?" Without any superfluous nonsense, Joshua, who had already learned about the situation, frowned, and he asked, "When will the evil gods return to this space-time realm?" ”
"It's impossible to calculate, there are too many unpredictable situations in the turbulence of time and space." Karliss replied, rolling the curtain of light, causing a large expanse of the starry sky to move rapidly, and then focusing on the two worlds of Mycrof-Callis: "But the slowest will not exceed seventy years, calculated by the alternation of the sun and moon on the Mycrof continent." The fastest words. ”
After a pause, the Steel Python seemed to laugh: "Next second." They'll be right in front of us. ”
"Really......"
Walking slowly to the light curtain, Joshua stared at this familiar picture of time and space—not long ago, he had seen the real scene on the light curtain, when he had just become a legend, and the god of power was revealing a path for him in the void, a long path of light to the other side of the multiverse, and there were countless worlds around the light path, which provided their own light for the light path, which was the pure and brilliant light that was completely opposite to the dark shadows brought by the evil gods before.
More than a thousand years ago, an old man from the Mycrof continent walked down that road, why did he do this? A powerful man who has surpassed the gods has left his hometown, leaving behind only four relics that keep the legacy? Joshua had not been able to guess the sage's thoughts before, but now, he probably understood a little.
"Exactly the same ......"
Reaching out and touching the endless stars on the light curtain, the warrior's face became more and more serious, and his fingers traced a path, which was a path to the deepest part of the multiverse, which was also the prototype of the path of light, it went all the way forward, and then, just in time, it happened to meet the destroyers who returned from the void: "This is the same path. ”
"What's at the end of this road? Can the sages and evil gods set off without hesitation? ”
No one can answer this doubt, not even the steel python Karlis, who is the will of the world, was silent for a long time, put down the fingers pressed on the light curtain, Joshua took a deep breath, and then spit out, after he calmed down for a while, he turned his head to look at Karlis, and said calmly: "Thank you for telling me this information...... But to be honest, it doesn't work. ”
"I'm just a legend now."
The warrior objectively evaluated himself: "Even a demon lord can't be wiped out neatly, the Abyss Lord makes a move, and I have no power to fight back, let alone the evil god above it - Karlis, even you back then, with the power of the entire Karlis civilization, you couldn't fight against the minions of the [Famine] evil god." It's the same in the current world of Mycrof, we may be able to fight against the invasion of the abyss, but it's not enough to fight the evil gods head-on. ”
"I'm not a sage." Joshua said.
"I know." And so said the steel python.
Karlis was not annoyed by the warrior's straightforward attitude, it knew from the beginning that in the face of the great destroyers who feed on the world, individual worlds and individuals are almost powerless, and the existence of the sage may not be able to produce one for thousands of years, even if McCrof is his former hometown, but the Cybora intercepted the space-time teleportation to meet Joshua for no purpose, it had another purpose.
"Joshua van Radcliffe, you may not know your own potential."
Facing the calm Joshua, the huge world will hovered his body, and the endless scales reflected it, forming a silver galaxy, Karlis patiently explained: "The Fire Transmitter, the King of Soul Burners, has special authority, they can burn their souls, turn into the same flame and ignite the world that has long been destroyed, just like you did in my body back then, and just like you did when you sent the remnants to me not long ago, you can light the flame, and you can also carry the flame, as an individual life, There are many things that we in the world will not be able to do. ”
"What exactly do you want to say, Karlis?"
"I need you, Joshua."
The Steel Python stared at the warrior and said solemnly, "The other worlds are the same, 'we' need you. ”
"It is difficult for evil gods to directly enter a world, in addition to meeting many conditions, their families must also occupy most of a world, and most of the territory can only come after eroding most of the area into their world, so as long as the civilization within the world is strong enough, no matter how powerful the evil god is, he cannot directly destroy a world, which is our advantage and our disadvantage."
Karlis mobilized the light curtain, and every detail of the world of Karlis was invaded by the Aragami flashed in the light curtain, and the Steel Python stared at these details, its tone was heavy: "I have long known that the Winged People's Void Battleship contains the seeds of chaos, but except for the existence of the 'Initial Fire', no life can meet us, and I have no way to remind them, so I can only sit back and watch the minions of Famine kill my children, drag their bones out of their homes and devour them." Joshua, no matter how strong a civilization is, it still has weaknesses, and I have no complaints about being defeated by famine, but if there were humans like you at that time, then the world of Karlis would never have fallen to such a state. ”
"You have accepted the inheritance of the sages, you are the king of soul burning with a crown, you are in the mortal world, but you can meet us, you are the intermediary between the world and life, with your hands, countless worlds can remove the seeds of chaos from their bodies, the source of destruction."
Looking at Joshua, who was silent for a long time with a serious face, Karlis said gently: "The evil gods will return to this space-time realm within a hundred years, and they will destroy all the worlds along the way, and there are more or less some of the chaos seeds sprinkled by the evil gods in these worlds, we know their existence, but we can't uproot them." ”
"So you need me?" Joshua suddenly spoke, with a hint of relief in his tone: "Really? Because I am the only one who can see you? ”
"Yes, that's right." Steel Python nodded: "You have the breath of other worlds in your body, and it must have also received your help and given you its authority and power, and I, and other worlds that need your help in the future, will naturally not be stingy." ”
As he spoke, a silver-white fragment that shimmered like a star appeared on Joshua's chest, and the star's light jumped, releasing intoxicating power fluctuations, even Joshua subconsciously moved his right hand, wanting to touch the silver-white fragment, but immediately, the warrior frowned.
He remembered the shard of steel that the Ilgena World had given him back then, and then thought of the first number, Joshua's face suddenly changed, and then he slowly put his hand back: "-Forget it." ”
I don't want to make some number two or three out of nowhere...... Wait, the name is already being used.
"Don't you need it? This shard of steel contains a portion of my authority, and with it you can command earth and wind, water and lightning to serve you. ”
It was impossible to discern what Karlis's expression was, but his voice was a little strange: "Do you think that I have just woken up, and I am already very weak, so I am unwilling to accept my strength?" ”
“…… Yes. ”
Joshua's face remained unchanged, and he nodded, "That's what I thought." ”
"We are also impressed by your noble character."
With a word of admiration, Karlis had no choice but to take back the steel fragment that represented the authority of the world, and said sincerely: "After I woke up, I deliberately went to connect with the will of other worlds, most of the worlds in this space-time realm have similar troubles as I did back then, and they all need your help very much, and are willing to pay for it. ”
"Believe me, Joshua, with the help of several worlds, your strength will progress faster than you can imagine."
The Star Sea Dome began to shake slightly, noticing this, Karlis knew that this conversation was about to end, it lowered its head and looked at Joshua: "Helping these worlds may be a bit difficult for you, there will be countless difficulties and dangers along the way, but the reward will definitely not disappoint, human warrior, are you willing to help us?" ”
- Perhaps.
At this time, Joshua was thinking. He recalled that he had obtained some memories of the sages from the Azure Orb when he was young, and he couldn't help but have some guesses in his heart.
- Perhaps, when the sages traveled to the worlds, they were just like they are now.
Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why the return of the sages back then had enough power to educate the entire Mycrof world.
While thinking about it, a smile appeared on the warrior's face at the same time, it was instinctive, knowing that the road ahead was difficult, but still expecting a smile, Joshua raised his head, looked at the steel python, the eyes of the two met, and he said, "Of course." ”
"Leave it to me."
