Chapter 41: Mass and Spirit Transformation 6800
Whether Joshua could feel fear or not, no one could know.
But at this time, the mood of Priest and the others fluctuated greatly, from extreme fear to extreme joy, and they had already walked back and forth seven or eight times.
"Are we alive now? Whatever it feels like, we deserve to die. β
Standing at the Accra Hub Observatory, the caster muttered to himself with a numb look on his face - this question was not surprising, as he really couldn't figure out if he was alive or dead.
From the very beginning, everyone was very excited when they saw the natural power of the Nature Mentor manifesting in the high reaches of the heavenly dome, because whoever came proved that the strong people of the Mycrof world had received their signal and rushed here as fast as possible.
But then, when they saw countless chaotic tentacles erupting from the depths of the earth, revealing a hideous and terrifying posture of annihilation, everyone's hearts immediately sank to the bottom again, looking at this posture, even if the legendary powerhouse came, it seemed that it would not be pleased, not to mention that the Accra Junction where they were located could really resist the erosion of these chaos before the arrival of the legendary powerhouse?
Soon, the Accra Junction's momentum counterattack, and the fact that the counterattack was disintegrated by the weakened Evil God's debilitating fluctuations, once again caused the hearts of the elite team and Sur to fluctuate, and they performed a perfect 360-degree rotation cycle, and the sweeping attack carried out by the Nature Mentor once again brought hope to everyone.
Four gigantic tentacles stretched into the planet's depth, and the battle between order and chaos seemed to be heating up.
However, after a short moment, the four tentacles were hurriedly pulled out, as if they were fleeing from a disaster.
- Chaos is so terrifying that even a legendary powerhouse is so afraid!
When Priest saw this scene, his heart was overturned with all kinds of complicated emotions, he didn't think that the legendary powerhouse would not dare to face the evil god, but it turned out that in the face of the source of chaos inside the planet, maybe the ordinary legend was indeed not an opponent...... But he didn't see any traces of chaos erosion on the mountain-like tentacles that had been pulled away.
Why? Obviously didn't have the upper hand.
He soon knew the answer.
As the world barrier shattered with a bang, Moldavian inhabitant, Wintercastle Champion College student, member of the Empire's Department of External Exploration, and disciple of the Northlands, Priest Eumini felt the violent and shuddering aura of his teacher.
By the way, there are also Void Behemoths that are almost half the size of half a planet, constantly struggling.
"My teacher...... everything explained, and the young warrior couldn't help but groan, "So you came......"
"The Seven Gods ...... Above"
Looking at this scene, the crystal ball that the clergyman kept playing with fell to the ground, and he watched in amazement as the huge stars in the sky fell straight down at an unbelievable speed, and the bright fire was brighter than the sun, illuminating the whole world.
The knight sat on the ground, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and watched in horror as September in the sky was disturbed by the sudden appearance of the star, and it spun and descended wildly in an unusually terrifying trend, flying in the void.
"Wow!"
Sur rolled her eyes, as if she wanted to faint directly, but because she had fainted once before, she was still very awake now, and she could only wake up without tears, and then hugged Priest's hand, which had long been numb, - as for the alchemist, he poured himself a bottle of potion that claimed to be able to face the dragon's might, but this was obviously useless, and the pressure that was approaching in the sky could not be compared to that of a mere dragon? The alchemist suspected that it would be useless for him to drink and vomit, but in order to stop his mouth from making a sound, he kept pouring potions on himself.
Only the repaired pillar of light was about to move in the hall, constantly squirming in his own pillar-like form, as if he wanted to fly directly and rush into the sky, but soon, the only one in the crowd who was more sober, Priest, immediately took control of the Accra Hub, and gave perhaps the loudest order he had ever given in recent times.
"Full defense system turned on - don't care what can be far, it's all overloaded!!"
And at the same time that the Accra Hub, which faithfully obeyed the order, wrapped itself in seven or eight layers of Glorious Age Void Battleship-class shields.
With the Cancer and the Iron Giant God crashing down in an unstoppable force.
Planets, shaking.
First of all, there is the substance of the outburst.
Using the back of the Void Giant Crab as the point of contact, the large amount of earth, seawater, and rock formations on the edge of the impact were like cream that had been squeezed open, vaporizing and boiling in the terrifying frictional heat, and then flying out of the atmosphere, while more matter was like ripples splashed by water waves, spreading and fluctuating in other directions of the planet, and being thrown directly into the cold vacuum.
This was followed by a torn fragmented atmosphere and shock waves.
In an instant, all the trees on the surface of the planet were destroyed, and the high heat shock wave mixed with the earthquake that turned the soil into water waves, twisted, and ignited the whole world, this force broke up the entire atmosphere, turning into an irregular cloud floating in a vacuum, and the evaporated sea water continued to increase the size of this cloud, and even condensed into a ball of water in the vacuum.
Finally, there is the division of the planet.
The earth's crust shattered, the mantle did not form a prototype, and under the impact of the extinction star, a planet collapsed like this, and it can be seen that countless small pieces of material debris are thrown away at a rapid pace, and those large pieces of the planet's crust will soon catch up...... Wrong.
Although both the atmosphere and small pieces of ground were disintegrated and disintegrated with the violent impact, the large crust of the sealed world was not completely shattered, and was thrown into a vacuum, turning into an asteroid, accompanied by layers of dark flashes, most of the matter was absorbed by an inexplicable force, maintained in its original state, and maintained the appearance of a planet's existence.
At this time, the battle between Joshua and the Great Khan seemed to make the two of them not notice this.
At this time, the materialized body of the furious Great Khan's soul began to gradually become weaker, half a planet in size, comparable to a small and medium-sized world, the Void Behemoth dissipated into the invisible as if it were an illusion, and at the same time, Joshua felt as if there was an invisible syringe, with a potion that caused severe pain and discomfort, straight into his brain.
Although Joshua no longer has a brain at this time, he has a whole body that can be used to calculate and think. Immortal unit', but this feeling is roughly what it is described in human language, it is an unusually disgusting feeling, like being rooted in the cortex by a seed, growing by a fungal spores seeping into the flesh, the invisible hammer of the soul bombarding every computation that the warrior can use to think, and in the midst of a dull thud, something massive, anomalous being is forcibly nailed into his soul.
It's the Great Khan.
It is the soul of the Great Khan.
The eight-legged fungus was not originally an eight-legged fungus.
As a special variant of a certain zombie fungus, they were born of their souls due to the natural demon-rich environment of their hometown, and they were born of self-consciousness very early because of the independent thinking organ of the soul.
At that time, the eight-legged fungus was nothing more than a race of small insect creatures such as ants and bees.
The process of everything, long, difficult, and deserved, with the unity of wisdom and instinct, the eight-legged fungus soon ensured the continuation and existence of its own civilization community, with the advantage of short life and death, the eight-legged fungus rapidly evolved from generation to generation, became larger, and made its body and soul more complex, closer to magic, and soon, in the history of biology is not long at all, and it can even be said that it is a short million years, they finally gave birth to the ability to think that can be called wisdom, There are also thick fungus pillar bodies that are complex enough to wield magical powers.
From then on, not only insects, but also more reptiles with more complex brains, mammals can also become the target of their parasitism and control.
This was the beginning of the Star Shepherd civilization.
Eight-legged, Void Cancer? No, this has never been the essence of the star herder, for the star herder whose body is dying in the twilight of life, and only the soul is immortal, it is the soul that can truly represent their essence.
And now, the Great Khan, who had already achieved the achievement of soul materialization and was powerful enough to control the spirits of twenty-four Void Beasts at the same time, had resolutely rushed his soul into the spiritual sea of Joshua.
Eat the brain? Control nerves? This is something that Star Herders have stopped doing for a long, long time, and if it weren't for the sake of having a body that can move smoothly in the material world and express emotions, no Star Herder would insist on maintaining their weird fungus column, but directly occupy the bodies of other low-intelligence beings by means of soul erosion.
The Great Khan, too.
The battle of the material world is not what it is good at, it has to start directly from the spiritual aspect, and clean up this strong enemy!
In the vast dark spiritual sea, Joshua's soul incarnation was in the center, quietly watching countless mycelial spores descend from the sky like rain, eroding the entire spiritual space.
He didn't seem to be in a hurry, even if all the spiritual space was encroached upon, which meant that his soul had lost its abode.
"Fungus, I see, it's a hermit creature similar to the Plague Evil God Mother Civilization, and Heras."
The warrior muttered to himself, somewhat understanding why the other party was able to control so many Void Behemoths. As for parasites, he doesn't have any aversion, just as the same people also eat cattle and sheep, and the parasitism of parasites is just another kind of eating - in this regard, he smiled lightly: "Want to eat my soul? It's kind of quick-thinking. β
"Is this your soul? Ancestor Star Eater, you have indeed been corrupted by fear, which is why you have not been able to leave this lost galaxy for such a long time. β
In the sea of spirits, in the countless wriggling mycelium, the shock of the Great Khan's soul sounded, this shock ignored the language, and directly inserted the meaning of the words into another soul, this powerful eight-legged fungus said in a cold tone: "Short, thin, shallow, not worth mentioning, even if it is the leader of my clan, the soul is better than you." β
This is indeed the case - the Great Khan's soul is so huge that it can manifest in the spiritual space as large as a Void Beast, and Joshua's soul incarnation is only the size of a human compared to the huge Iron Giant God.
The soul does not deceive, and the difference in size is the gap in strength.
Joshua wasn't angry about it...... He didn't need to be angry, the warrior shook his head indifferently, and then grabbed the point of interest in the other party's words and asked, "Ancestor, a long time, and a lost galaxy?" β
"You guys seem to have a strange view of this world galaxy, can you explain it in detail?"
When he said this, Joshua didn't seem to have the slightest sense of urgency, and naturally there was a spiritual space that moved extremely fast, and he didn't have to worry about the evil god waking up in this little time, and secondly, he seemed to be confident, and he didn't seem to be worried about the soul gap between the two sides.
- As long as you explain it well, then it is not impossible to spare your life in the future.
The Great Khan naturally didn't know what was going on in Joshua's heart, it just didn't know what Joshua was not doing at all, so even if his soul was weak, as the master of the Spirit Sea, the warrior should have used all kinds of local advantages to hinder his own erosion, but for some reason, the other party actually remained motionless and let himself erode...... It's worthless not to talk about this kind of news, even if it's just to maintain the other party's inaction, the Great Khan feels that there must be no problem in telling the other party this bit of news that everyone in the outside world knows.
"You, who have been isolated from the world for at least 12,000 years, have completely forgotten the galaxy in the outside world, and your once glorious identity, and you don't even know that the galaxy you are in is strange...... It's sad. β
Laughing at Joshua's ignorance, but even so, when the Great Khan talked about the ancestral civilization and the catastrophe of the multiverse at least 12,000 years ago, his tone was still serious and full of respect, it recounted the splendor and generosity of the ancestral civilization thousands of years ago, and praised the virtue of the other party to enhance the unenlightened life, even the star herders have received great benefits because of the ancestral civilization, they will not forget this kindness, so they take it all to heart.
"The ancestral civilization blocked the army of the World Eaters, locked all the World Eaters in their own world galaxy, and did not let half of the World Eaters leave...... So although everything happened very suddenly, all the rudiments of civilization in the outside world survived and developed into what they are today. β
Speaking of this, the Great Khan let out a cold snort: "But don't think about it - what we respect is the original ancestral civilization, not the guy who has cowered in this lost galaxy and has not grown in the slightest for ten thousand years!" β
As he spoke, the Great Khan tried his best to erode the spiritual space, but in the process of erosion, it found in confusion that Joshua at this time still did not have the slightest idea of 'resisting', but lowered his head and fell into contemplation.
"Ancestral Civilization...... How does it sound like a combination of the Sanctuary Alliance and the Shining Age? There may be a few other shadows mixed in that are not as advanced as the Shining Age and the Sanctuary Alliance, but are still considered powerful Void Civilizations......"
Joshua's soul incarnation muttered to himself, as if he fell into deep thought: "The World Eater is the evil god, and that so-called war, if there are no accidents, should be the final battle of the year." β
But one is that it happened 1,200 years ago.
One occurred at least 12,000 years ago.
Is it space-time expansion?
But it's also too long......
The galaxy was moved to the edge of the multiverse, and the gap between civilization and the outside world due to the expansion of time and space was more than 10,000 years, Joshua raised his head and looked at the mycelium in front of him.
For these star herders, for these civilizations of the galaxy of the outer world, more than 10,000 years have passed since that war, the past war has become a dusty myth, the former myth has become a fragmented ancient rumor, everything is covered by the strongest force in the world, the biggest illusion in the world, and no one knows the specific process of everything back then.
It's a kind of 'seal'.
Joshua suddenly understood the meaning of all this.
Yes, this is a sealβfar stronger than all magic arrays, far more reliable and solid than all repression, this is the prison called time, the seal called years!
In this short period of time, the Starfall civilization that grew up from the corpse of the glorious civilization has just taken a step, while the evil gods of the outside world have been preparing for 10,000 years and will embark on the next journey of destruction that will tour the world.
"We are a sealed civilization."
Joshua suddenly realized, he raised his head, looked at the dark spiritual sea high in the sky, and whispered to himself: "Under this trick of manipulating time, I actually found out this now...... Clever, too clever. This kind of seal moisturizes things silently, and neither the sealed person nor the bystander can see that there is anything wrong. β
Talking to himself, the warrior was not speaking, he could only hear the sound of mycelial erosion in the spiritual sea, and the Great Khan naturally couldn't understand Joshua's psychological changes at this time, so he could only attribute it to 'powerless resistance shocked by the truth'.
"Wait, why...... I've been eroding for so long, and it doesn't seem to occupy much of this spiritual sea."
But slowly, even the Great Khan gradually discovered that something was wrong: "How big is this spiritual sea?!" Impossible, how could such a weak soul have such a large spiritual space?! β
At the same time, a laugh that seemed to be suppressed, but finally became more and more arrogant, came from the center of this spiritual sea.
"Haha...... Hahahaha!! Seal with so many means, and even distort time. β
Looking up at the black sky, Joshua seemed to be able to see the infinite stars of the multiverse outside at this time, and he laughed loudly, laughing happily and heartily.
"Pull the galaxy out of the multiverse and place it in the corner of the edge to compress time...... It turns out that 'Him' will be afraid, too! β
The Great Khan couldn't understand what the strange creature in front of him was laughing at, it was just annoyed by the laughter, so he impatiently stretched out a fungus pillar and struck it hard at Joshua's location.
It knew that this move was useless, no matter how weak Joshua's soul was, it had the power to move freely in the spiritual space, so it didn't bother to spend its strength to strangle the soul on the other side, but single-mindedly eroded the spiritual space and cut off the origin of the warrior's soul from the root.
But soon, the Great Khan realized that something was wrong.
Joshua didn't dodge the fungus column that was pulled with all his might, nor was it shattered by the blow.
The warrior raised his hand, stretched out his index finger, and with a soul power that was not more powerful than an ordinary extreme powerhouse, he blocked this spiritual blow that was far beyond the ordinary legend and could bombard his entire soul into powder.
"To be honest, your soul is indeed very strong, I estimate that even the spiritual master William is not as good as you in terms of pure soul strength, and it should be similar in terms of skills, his battle with you must be an opponent in chess, and he will meet a good talent, maybe that bard will lose to you, everything is possible."
Stopping the laughter, perhaps because in his own mental space, his inner thoughts were directly turned into words, Joshua shook his head: "It's a pity, since the last fight, William has never played this kind of mental game with me again, and I don't know his current strength." β
As he spoke, the warrior picked a little bit of it, and suddenly, the Great Khan's fungus pillar broke off from the root, and then was shattered by an inexplicable force, turning into a milky white soul light in the sky, dissipating into this dark and silent spiritual space.
"I don't actually have a soul - to be precise, my mind organs are strong enough to fight and think at super high speeds without a soul, but it's just for the convenience of incarnation, so I just shape a little soul to show you."
Looking at the Great Khan, who seemed to sense something wrong in front of him and was contracting his soul power with all his strength to prepare for an attack, Joshua showed a nonchalant smile: "From the beginning, I was invincible without a soul, not to mention, there are still many things you don't know, for example, my spiritual space is called 'Soul Abyss' by others." β
Saying this, beside the warrior, the spiritual space began to ripple one by one, with Joshua as the center, the pitch-black, silent spiritual sea, suddenly began to set off a violent wind and waves, everything began to twist violently, shaking, accompanied by endless howls and screams, roars and wails, accompanied by the desolate and heroic sound of the horn that seemed to come from afar, the endless sea of the undead, the remains of the soul, just like this, through the distorted space, appeared everywhere above the spiritual sea out of thin air.
Boundless, infinite β the number of which is innumerable, but even the smallest estimates are more than a million.
The deep and dark spiritual sea is not as calm as before, in the deep bottom of the dark nothingness, you can hear countless voices of existence praising and singing, they are old people, children, men, women, humans, beasts, they praise, scream, scold, sing, they moan, sometimes rebuke, sometimes whisper, sometimes chuckle.
The wreckage of countless beasts, humans, aliens, and chaotic monsters flew, wandered, soared, and swam in mid-air, they rolled, jumped, expanded, contracted, like a nightmare within a nightmare, and countless noisy human voices swirled and mixed in the originally silent and empty spiritual sea, they condensed together, and finally turned into the most naked hatred, the strongest killing intent, and the most undisguised malice.
And Joshua stood in the midst of infinite malice, reaching out and caressing the top of the skull of the remains of a demonic beast, not caring for the stinking blood and its wailing on it, and all the undead bowed down as they approached him, as if to bow down to the human who had slain them, the giant god who had destroyed everything.
A huge eyeball composed of countless wreckage, broken weapons, blood, skulls, burning metal, cold wind and sand, damaged city walls and fortresses, magma, and other things that were more full of destruction and death appeared behind the warrior, and its pupils were a half-devoured, lost star core, and the empty planet swirled, releasing the breath of dead silence.
Gazing at the giant Eye of the Dead, the Great Khan felt a cold feeling creeping through the depths of his soul, and by now, it had to admit that it had underestimated the Ancestral Star Eater in front of it.
How many lives did he kill, how many existences did he destroy, so that he could have such terrifying evil thoughts lingering in the depths of his soul?
This question has not been answered.
Because Joshua's last voice echoed in the mid-air of the world.
"For example, I'm actually going to play the trick of 'quality and spirit transformation'."
The aftermath faded, and the humanoid Joshua dissipated in pieces of silver mist.
And the next moment, in the depths of the dark and huge, far greater spiritual sea imagined by the Great Khan, it seemed that something was slowly rising.
With the rapid descent of the endless black sea, Joshua's spiritual space finally revealed its true form - it was a bottomless, endless pitch-black abyss, and at the bottom of the abyss, there seemed to be something crimson rolling, and a giant god that covered the sky and the sun, as if it could hold the whole world, was stretching out from the depths of the abyss, ignoring all fragile and useless counterattacks, and grabbing straight at the fungal body of the Great Khan's body.
Poof.
With a ridiculous sound, the giant beast held it in its palm and gently pinched it, like a sparrow in the palm of a man's hand, careful not to pinch it to death.
The Eyes of the Dead stared silently at it all.
Right now.
Who's afraid?
