While the Seven Sacred Mountains cheered at the detection of a signal from afar, Joshua did not go to the Void.

At this time, he was still in the Microf Continent.

If you want to go to the void, then you can go anywhere, as long as you can fly upwards and rise to an altitude of more than 700,000 meters, you can come to the edge of the world, where the boundaries of time and space are ambiguous, as long as you use a little force, you can easily go to the outside world without using the space-time gate. And with Joshua's strength, he doesn't even need to rise too high, as long as he comes to the strength that doesn't affect the height of the surface building, he can distort the space at any time and go to the void.

Now, the warrior had set the coordinates that had been prepared, and he strode through the space-time portal, and then, in bursts of intense blue light, he came to the hilly terrain of the southeastern plains, inside a simple-looking, inconspicuous mage tower.

The 'Nameless' Stone Tower is a round tower at the highest point in the Great Magna Hills, with a large layer of granite and baguette forming its outer layer, with depressions that seem to be traces of wind erosion all over its surface, but its interior shimmers with magical fluorescence. Many adventurers living around Magna will think of it as an ancient ruin at first, but when they get closer and ready to explore, they will find that this seemingly unremarkable mage tower is surrounded by a powerful defensive circle, and according to some adventurers who have infiltrated the perimeter of the circle, there are huge stone statues and puppets standing around the nameless stone tower, as if rejecting all outsiders.

Many people speculate that the owner of this mage tower may be a powerful, but often traveling mage, so he left a huge puppet stone statue to protect his seemingly disrepaired mage tower, in fact, they guessed correctly, but they are still too conservative about the strength and number of the tower's owner.

Joshua walked out of the teleportation circle on the fourth floor of the stone tower, and was greeted by Barnier and William, two legendary mages standing in front of the space-time gate, one was looking at a large magic book, and the other was instructing an obsidian golem to prepare coffee, and when the space-time was rippling and the warrior completely walked out of the fluctuating space-time channel, they all left their work and instructions and stepped forward to welcome the warrior.

"You're here, the analysis of the spirit fragments and the magic cocoon has had a rough result, and a lot of interesting things have been discovered."

There was no greeting, the three of them communicated directly as if they had communicated a long time ago, and after nodding to each other and confirming the situation, they walked together towards the laboratory on the top floor of the stone tower.

Barnier took the lead, and the old mage shook his head as he said, "Of course, because the experimental materials are relatively small, and the destructive analysis method cannot be used, the efficiency is relatively low. ”

The 'nameless' stone tower is one of the footholds of the two legendary mages Barnier and William all over the Mycrof world continent, this is their largest research base in the Eastern Plains, except for some students who will be brought here by them to assist in research, no one knows that the stone tower belongs to them, and after Barnier closed his mouth, William took over the conversation: "The spiritual fragments are too scattered, it seems to be completely shattered after being hit hard, and it is really difficult to peel off the memory fragments in it." ”

"Thanks, sorry for your trouble."

In this regard, Joshua, who entrusted the two of them to help, did not say much, he just sincerely thanked him. Soon, the three of them arrived at the laboratory on the top floor of the stone tower.

It was a room of great white—four arms, the floor and ceiling were all the purest white, without a single stain, the silver-white metal workbench was inscribed with rune arrays that shimmered with light blue light patterns, and the cabinets were filled with all kinds of bottles and cans, with labels on them: 'Wriggling Forest', 'Abyssal Dirt', 'Styx Water'...... But what attracts the most attention is the huge circular array placed in the center of the laboratory, and the three crystal balls placed on the array disk.

"Speaking of which, it's really a coincidence, Barnier and I caught a demon in your territory last time, and through the analysis of its spirit and soul, we have accumulated first-hand analysis of powerful demons, which makes this job a lot easier."

After coming to the laboratory, William raised his hand and pointed to a crystal ball placed on the array plate, and said with emotion: "If it weren't for this experience, we might not have dared to accept your commission." ”

"What demon?"

Joshua turned his head curiously.

In the Blood Moon Abyss, after fighting with the Black Dragon and the two Demon Lords, Joshua gave the spiritual fragments of the Eye-Demon Lord Helm and the remaining half of the body of the Worm Demon Lord Saluka to the Imperial Royal Mage Guild and Barnier and William respectively, but the Imperial Royal Mage Guild has recently focused on the development of other worlds, so it is impossible to help the warriors analyze the wreckage left by these two legendary powerhouses as soon as possible, so in the end, Joshua still entrusted it with carte blanche to the two legendary mages.

Now it seems that both Barnier and William have worked hard to complete Joshua's commission, and in less than a few months, they have already gained a lot and compiled most of the information before the warrior is ready to go to the other world.

With that in mind, he looked at the crystal ball that William was pointing.

Then, Joshua saw a familiar face—his expression suddenly became subtle: "Raldanas? You caught it in my territory? ”

It was a perfect red and white sphere, in which a dying demon was imprisoned, and it could be clearly seen that this was the great demon of the extreme intention who had fought with warriors in the past as an incarnation, the Mind Eater Raldanas, but compared to the original momentum, the current Mind Eater was already very desperate to curl up in the crystal ball, ignoring the things of the outside world, even if the three legends came to watch it, It's like a piece of dead meat that has been played with.

"Yes, I think you caught it around the time when you returned from the world of Grandia, and it just crossed the Ural Mountains and happened to be discovered by us."

Barnier didn't continue to explain how the two of them caught the Great Demon, he just gently stroked the surface of the crystal ball, and said with emotion: "If it weren't for the ability to analyze the soul and body of this mind eater, so that we have mastered the ability to peel off soul fragments and memory fragments in a living body, our commission may not have been successfully completed. By the way, we found that the demons are essentially no different from normal creatures, but they have been mutated because they live in too harsh environments, and their flesh actually tastes good when purified. ”

"The only pity is that although this mind eater has not completely collapsed, it has completely closed itself and will not respond to our stimuli, and now even if you kill it, it will not move half a bit."

"That's ...... What a coincidence. ”

Taking a deep look at the motionless Great Demon in the crystal ball, the legendary Demon Lord of the 'future' in his previous life, Joshua smiled lightly, and then stopped paying attention, he looked at the crystal ball placed in the other two directions of the array plate, and said, "So, have you really finished analyzing Helm's spiritual fragments and Saruka's body?" ”

"Saruka's is more complicated, and we haven't figured out how its energy fuses with its cells and converts into other life forms, but Helm's spirit fragments have indeed been parsed."

William came to the silver-white crystal ball on the other side at this time, and there were pieces of fragments like colorful prisms floating in it, which were the spiritual fragments left by the Eye Demon Lord after his death, and the Mind Master turned his head to look at Joshua, and added: "It's just that it's too broken, and the memory is very confused...... I don't know who broke it. ”

Joshua didn't reply, he looked at the silver-white crystal ball, and asked seriously, "Trouble, then, is there any information worth mentioning?" ”

"Yes...... But to be honest, Barnier and I don't understand it a bit, although the two of us often go in and out of the void and go to the abyss, but we really haven't seen that kind of world. ”

Barnier stretched out his hand and made a 'please' gesture: "Let's take a look for yourself." ”

Joshua didn't refuse, he stepped forward and came to the silver crystal ball. He reached out and touched it.

Then, the interplay of light and shadow, and the torrent of thoughts composed of large sections of fragmentary memories surged towards Joshua.

He saw the many memories that belonged to the demon Lord Helm buried deep in his heart—the broken soul of a certain otherworldly mage, who grew and evolved by devouring his compatriots, fought endlessly in the Sixth Abyss, and expanded his power, Joshua saw a demon struggling to survive in the apocalypse, and then became more and more cruel and ruthless.

Demons have a long lifespan, much longer than humans, even fragments of shallow memories are extremely rich compared to humans, but Joshua suppresses these memories and thoughts belonging to demons one by one, and only extracts information that is useful to him.

Gluttonous Demon King Goliath would rather be hit hard, but also cross the shield of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground to snatch Saruka's body and Helm's spiritual fragments, Joshua didn't think that the other party was just to save the remains of his subordinates, and there was definitely something worth paying for each other, so he worked tirelessly to collect the spiritual fragments of Helm that he crushed, and finally entrusted the Mind Master and the rune master who had reached the pinnacle in self-transformation to analyze, now, Joshua had already obtained a lot of geographic information related to the Sixth Abyss, but it was not useful, and he felt that he needed to go deeper.

So Joshua went deeper.

In the centuries-long flood of memories of the Demon Lord, Joshua submerged into the deeper fragments of the other party's thoughts, and he searched for all the memories that could be called 'secrets' of the other party, and uncovered them mercilessly.

Finally, he found the fragment that Helm had hidden in the depths of his memory.

It was a memory from more than three hundred and seventy years ago, a failed teleportation, and the unsuccessful Archdemon was caught in the space-time rift between worlds, and it was there that it witnessed the ultimate destruction.

It was light, a mighty stream of light. The stars shimmered with a silvery-blue glow, and the all-consuming gamma-ray burst surged from the center of the stars, destroying everything and turning the planet to ashes with a snap of a finger, like a giant blowing away a castle of gravel.

Death blew its trumpet, destruction chanted hymns, and the planet that had erected a huge energy shield was directly destroyed, its ashes fluttering and burning in the stream of light like sparks fluttering on a campfire. The iron core of the star could be seen turning red and then being washed into the stars—a scene that might have been difficult for legendary mages who had been living in the dimensional world, but Joshua knew it all too well, and he saw the light of the supernova explosion cross the galaxy, destroying all the stars in its path, and finally hitting the sun in this galaxy.

It was as if the egg shell had been shattered, the egg white mixed with the yolk had spilled out in a vacuum, and the liquid hot gas gushed out from the interior of the star and was then blown away by the light.

A star was extinguished.

Witnessing all this with Helm at the time, Joshua couldn't help but hold his breath - he knew more about the horror of this scene than anyone else, even Helm, who had seen it with his own eyes.

Gamma-ray bursts from afar do not destroy the planet and blow away the star, it kills at most all life on the planet's surface and blows the atmosphere away, if Helm sees the real thing, then there is only one possibility...... That is, not far from this destroyed galaxy, not even more than a few light-years away, a huge superstar exploded and collapsed, forming a neutron star...... Or even black holes.

"It's really amazing, I didn't expect the prototype of Helm's Starblaze to be a real gamma-ray burst...... But this should not be taken so seriously by Goliath. ”

The shock was only for a moment, Joshua was not affected by this scene, he frowned, and thought: "A terrifying astronomical disaster, for the Abyss Demon, may also be to get some spell inspiration, there is no need to be so nervous to recapture it." ”

There should be some important information that he didn't find. Joshua thought so, and then continued to search for Helm's remaining mental fragments, hoping to get deeper information.

Next, countless fragments of scattered memories passed by...... Gaining more power, Helm advanced to the legendary form and established his own legendary form, controlling the light stream of destruction to suppress half of the Sixth Abyss, and preparing to act towards the supreme goal of conquering the entire Abyssal Plane - but in the middle of it, an even more powerful force put an end to Helm's ambitions, which was the future Demon King, Goliath.

It was so powerful that he didn't even use any hole cards, and with pure energy strength and physical strength alone, he defeated Helm, who was going all out, as if the abyss lord who could dominate all things had just come to his senses and unified the entire sixth abyss, and this demon king did not choose to kill the other demon lords, but ordered them to conquer other worlds for their own ambitions with his own power.

For various reasons, Helm did not choose to rebel, it decided to temporarily submit to the powerful Abyss Lord, but Joshua saw that in the first hundred years of his defeat, Helm was not as loyal as he is now, and he was always thinking about how to become stronger, replace Goliath, and then become the next demon king to rule the whole world.

It has tried many methods, whether it is meditating, conceiving new spells, stacking energy, or optimizing the energy condensation acceleration structure in the body...... It did get stronger, but it couldn't defeat Goliath, and Helm was so distressed about it that it finally came up with what might be the only way.

That is to return to the world where gamma-ray bursts were generated, and analyze the source of this terrifying power.

Helm firmly believes that if he grasps the truth of that terrifying power, let alone the Abyss Lord, I am afraid that even the gods will be unable to compete with him, so, with more than ten years of preparation, it has finally restored the coordinates of the original misteleportation, and is ready to enter that world again to find the source behind that power.

“…… I can't find its source...... It was so far away that I flew for months and didn't leave this area of high heat clouds. ”

"The energy radiation here is more terrifying than the Void, and even I can't sustain it for long...... The Starblaze is not over yet, and scattered energy streams are still bursting out from time to time. ”

"Strange...... What a terrifying sense of space distortion, what is it in the distance? The light turned into a whirlpool...... Something is coming?! ”

"It rushed in! No, it would have rushed in a long time ago...... This is the light of a few decades ago...... It's the source! It was the one who caused this catastrophe! ”

It was one of Helm's last memories - it saw a star that was so bright that it had come out of nowhere, and an inconspicuous speck that had come out of nowhere and crashed into it.

Releasing the hand that was touching the silver crystal ball, Joshua took a step back, his brow furrowed and lost in thought.

Barnier and William on the side didn't bother Joshua, in fact, they had the same feeling when they observed Helm's memories at the beginning, and it was even more incomprehensible than Joshua, after all, whether it was Barnier or William, they had always lived in a dimensional world with a round sky, such as stars and planets, a vast and boundless star sea world, they had never heard of it.

At this point, the warrior pondered the meaning of Helm's last fragment of memory.

"The Lord of the Eyes doesn't have a psionic engine like me, and he can't cross the universe that is counted in astronomical units...... Even after a few months of flying, it was still inside the nebula that had been blown out by the sun. ”

The warrior muttered to himself, "The energy eruption is not over yet, which means that the stellar remnants that erupted at the source have not yet fully stabilized...... But since light can be distorted into swirls, it must be a black hole that is even more terrifying than a neutron star. ”

As for the final scene, Joshua could easily understand: the gravitational chaos caused by the black hole may have distorted the light, and it was decades before Helm saw the past that should have been present at the same time as the gamma-ray burst arrived, and he should have seen something suddenly appear around the supernova that was about to explode, causing the supernova to collapse and explode.

It's just that...... What the hell is that thing? Three hundred and seventy years ago, what caused that horrible gamma-ray burst?

There is no follow-up to everything, this is the last spiritual fragment left by Helm, the demon lord in this world, most of which is in the hands of Joshua, and a small half is in the hands of Goliath, until now, Joshua still hasn't figured out why the Abyss Lord has to seize Helm's spiritual fragment and not let himself succeed, but the warrior has a vague guess in his heart, but this guess is quite nonsense, and he feels that it is a little unlikely.

"Did you solve your problem? Joshua. ”

After Joshua finished his contemplation, Barnier on the side spoke, he looked at the warrior with a serious face, shook his head and said, "To be honest, William and I didn't see anything, the memories of these demons are messy, and there are many strange places. ”

"No...... On the contrary, there are more and more problems. ”

Although he said that, Joshua's face was much better, although he didn't understand Goliath's purpose, but he knew the source of Helm's power and the coordinates of the starry world...... Helm didn't have a Migration Engine and couldn't cross a distance of light years, but he could, and when he had time in the future, he would naturally go to that world to see what was going on and figure out what was going on.

"Don't worry too much, Joshua, the demon's memories are pretty much the same."

On the other side, William, who was well-informed and didn't know how much he had played with, smiled lightly, he turned his head, looked at the cocoon placed in another black and white crystal ball, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Although Saruka's life form has not yet been analyzed, I have to say that it is really worthy of being a legendary powerhouse, just a little bit of the essential structure of life that we have analyzed now is enough for us to make great progress in life research such as 'rebirth of severed limbs', 'life extension' and 'strengthening internal organs' - this cocoon is still alive." , which is much more valuable than a spiritual fragment of a dead demon. ”

"Haha, it's good to be valuable, in short, this kind of research, please leave it to you."

Joshua smiled at this, this was the purpose of sending Saruka's body fragments here, although he also had the technical ability to analyze the body fragments of the Insect Demon Lord, but he didn't have time - maybe in the eyes of others, he seemed to be very leisurely, it seemed that he didn't have to manage his territory at all, and even ran around, but in fact, Joshua was far busier than others imagined, just like now, he was halfway to another world, and he took a little time off the way to get information about the Demon Lords.

After exchanging a few words with the two Legends, and deciding to let the Wintercastle Academy take over the next joint research, Joshua left the Stone Tower. Standing on the Magna Hills, he slowly looked up into the sky, and then the warrior turned into a dim silver light and soared into the sky.

In the flight in a straight line, Joshua's mind had a lot of thoughts...... Demons, abysses, evil gods, gamma-ray storms from other worlds, the inquiry of the gods about order, and sages from afar...... It sounds complicated, but the warrior is a simple man, and no amount of doubt can stop him, only give him more motivation to move forward.

"There are so many interesting questions."

This way, this time will not be boring.

Thinking of this, Joshua came to the void outside of Mycrof, under the silver glow of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground, he stood in the turbulence of time and space, the warrior looked around, he seemed to sense something, so Joshua seriously said to the void beside him: "I've kept you waiting, Karlis." ”

"For me, it's just a moment."

Along with Joshua's words, the turbulence of time and space slowly vibrates, and a great will crosses time and space to speak directly to Joshua's spirit. Its voice was gentle and deep, with a reassuring tone, "So, are you ready, Joshua?" ”

"Of course."

The categorical answer came from the turbulence of time and space, and Joshua calmly looked at the chaotic void, and he said softly, "Let's start now." ”

"Let me see which world is looking for my help."
