Chapter 35: The Shadows I
Looking up at the starry sky, optimistic people will sigh at the splendor of the stars, and pessimistic people will sigh at the endless darkness.
And the truth is regrettably biased in favor of pessimistic people.
The universe is dark, cold, ruthless and full of unknowns, and there are thousands of times more worlds in the multiverse that radiate light, and human beings have always been helpless in the face of the dangers hidden in the shadows of the world.
If you want to move forward in such a universe, you can only lift the torch, light the way forward, and cautiously go to the dark depths of the unknown.
The former world of Kronos, now the five hundred and eighty-seventh layers of the abyss, the void beyond the world.
When the white float that exuded an aura of destruction sped from afar, and no one intervened to stop it, the battle was already doomed.
The Insect Demon Lord Saluka only remembered that while all the powerful beings he had been fighting before hesitated, a huge silver iron fist had been condensed in the void and then slammed towards its vehicle in an instant—
Where did the madman come from?!
The attacked Saruka didn't understand why this existence that exuded a demonic aura, even more terrifying than a demon, would suddenly attack him, you know, there were five Maharaja-level existences present! Isn't he afraid of being the target of everyone if he provokes a fight like this?!
Unfortunately, the man who shot didn't seem to think that much at all, and only the two mages who were very close to him could faintly hear a low muttering to himself.
"There's always a good deal to do to demons, right?"
Of course, there is nothing wrong with that, in fact, it is almost the right choice. At the moment when Joshua had just arrived, he brazenly threw his fist, and the balance between the many powerhouses was immediately broken.
In the void, the flames of war ignited. The Black and White Dragon King, the Void Behemoth, the Golden Fleet, and the two legendary mages immediately fought each other in a battle worthy of what could be called spectacular, a war that should be recorded in history.
It can be seen that the Black Dragon King Keano silently harnessed the dark gray negative energy and pounced on the Void Beast, while the huge monster named Leviathan also unflinchingly shook the turbulence of time and space, pressing towards the other party. This is a giant beast that is measured in length in kilometers and 10,000 meters, but when the Leviathan faced Keano, which was only a few tenths of its size, it did not get any crushing advantage - in fact, what was surprising was that the huge Leviathan was even unilaterally beaten by the Black Dragon King, and under the impact of the high concentration of negative energy that could almost be called antimatter, all the defenses and attack methods of the Void Behemoth were disintegrated, and no natural spells and extraordinary strength could block the simple and simple attack.
The name of the Stygian Dragon, indeed worthy of its name, Keano's mastery of negative energy has reached an extreme, its attack is like the abyss of the Styx surging, turning everything into nothingness, in terms of destructive power alone, all the legendary powerhouses present may not be able to surpass it, can control the gravitational field and time and space, and the Leviathan that roams freely in the multiverse cannot be stopped.
But the Void Behemoths are not known for their destructive power in the first place, they are powerful enough to be called immortal vitality and have a body size that surpasses ordinary life cognition. In the face of Keano's extremely powerful and almost impossible to defend against attack, Leviathan simply gave up his defense and let the other party open one big hole after another in his body, anyway, its powerful self-healing ability can restore all the wounds to their original state in a few seconds, and for a body of tens of thousands of meters, a wound of a few hundred meters is not worth mentioning at all, and the battle has become a competition between the energy reserve of the Black Dragon King and the vitality of the Void Behemoth.
On the other side, the rune master, the old mage Barnier found the king of the white dragon, the lord of the frost, Bonnard, it seems that there is an old acquaintance between the two, and he did not do it at the first time, after a few short conversations, the two legendary powerhouses simply flew towards the other side of the void, not only looking for the battlefield, but also continuing the previous conversation. However, later, you can see the brilliant rune light and the gradually stagnant space-time turbulence, and it is clear that the battle between the two has begun, and the rune power that simulates all things and the frost that freezes the space-time world are the opponents.
As for William, who was left behind by his old buddy, he did not start a conflict with the Golden Fleet, which was also on guard, and the fleet piloted by the race called 'Star God' by other civilizations was even slowly rear, away from the battlefield that had been stirred up, it was obvious that they did not intend to clash with any of the parties present, only the ancient dragons of the world of Chronos were their target, and William was happy to sit down and watch the show.
But in this case, if you still want to protect yourself, it can only be said that it is too good, along with the lava fleet of the First Legion of the Sixth Abyss because the flagship was attacked by someone and opened fire indiscriminately, causing a main cannon of the Abyss Flame Stream to bombard Leviathan's body, making this giant beast begin to stir the void like crazy, the battle is no longer a matter between one person and two people—a dark cyan majestic force gushes out from Leviathan's body, and it releases a thrilling huge amount of energy, causing the surrounding space-time to hollow into a bowl, This upheaval will be watched by the lively William and the Golden Fleet in the middle of the battlefield with Keano.
The battlefield is chaotic, and it is impossible to see the situation clearly, the power of the legendary powerhouse spreads widely, far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, in the continuous mobile battle, everyone's opponents are changing rapidly, Barnier is still competing with the Lord of Frost in the last second The runes and frost are high, and the next second they must join forces to deal with the angry main artillery bombardment of the Golden Fleet, and the Leviathan, who has just blocked the main cannon that bombarded him with space distortion, immediately had to deploy the gravity shield again, Because the aftermath of Joshua's Sword of Quality flew straight towards it.
In such a situation, everyone gradually became angry, and the idea of just wanting to take the opportunity to test the competitor has quickly turned into ' Slaughter that hateful bastard', the huge psionic energy converged, the golden fleet of the star god had begun to build a stronghold in the surrounding void, the semicircular battleship with the huge triangular mothership began to cover the whole field with firepower, the azure blue beam fell like rain in the void turbulence, and the demon's lava army was not to be outdone, with the activation of the abyss array, a vast stream of flames containing evil and blasphemous aura condensed in the center of the magic array, and then blasted towards all targets that could be detected at the same time.
Such a melee is inconclusive - the two are fighting, even if there is restraint in each other's abilities and a gap in combat power, but before the advantage is expanded, there will always be other beings who will come forward to disrupt the situation, Keano's negative energy can achieve complete suppression of Leviathan, but in the face of William, who is good at mental interference and good at avoiding self-preservation, he can't use it strongly, and even occasionally hurts himself, and he fights extremely aggrieved.
The golden fleet's space-time stanceal stance can block almost all the attacks that exist on the scene, and the power of the main cannon is also terrifying, and it can even destroy mountains and tear continents, but it is useless in the face of Leviathan, which is also good at manipulating time and space, and the gravity shield can almost distort light, even if it hurts the other party, it is only a matter of more than ten seconds of self-healing.
This kind of scuffle lasted for several days, and everyone was in a mess, always disturbed by other people who were about to win, and they were full of anger, and the more they fought, the more angry they became, and even at the expense of exposing their hole cards, they also wanted to suppress the other party, and kill the other party before the other spoilers came...... For these powerhouses, such a battle had almost no fun at all, there was no point, it was simply a chaotic mess, and the entire starry sky was obscured by the energy they released, and the light of the distant world could not be seen.
Perhaps, there is only one person in the entire multiverse who will be happy with the current state of affairs and enjoy it.
With a punch and the insect demon lord Saruka, the huge energy and even the void generated electricity, blooming with dark purple thunder and plasma, Joshua laughed, and then continued to fight against this demon who seemed to control the power of evolution, but mutated into four powerful forms anytime and anywhere. At this time, the warrior did not transform into the form of the Iron Giant, but shot in human form, but even so, Joshua's punch fell, as if the mountain was pressed down.
It's not an exaggerated metaphor, but a pertinent description, because this punch is indeed as heavy as a mountain! With the power of condensed steel, coupled with the acceleration of the rotation of the magnetic field, the blow that Joshua unleashed without resistance in the void was as terrifying as a million-ton meteorite falling from the sky, and a demonic lava ship around it was just grazed by the aftermath, and it was immediately crushed by the huge force.
But Saruka was able to really take this blow - with the rapid change of his body, the body of the Insect Demon Lord, who was originally tall and strong, and was dozens of meters tall, suddenly transformed into a stocky structure like a round ball, and blocked Joshua's punch with his stubby, but extremely strong arm. Then, the shape suddenly changed, and the stubby arm suddenly stretched into a slender and sharp shape, like a spear stabbing towards the warrior!
Defensive form, offensive form, speed form, comprehensive form, with the mastery of his own body energy and the essence of other life, Saruka can change his body at will and transform it into the most suitable form for the current situation, the defensive form of the Worm Lord can block the attack of the Black Dragon King, the offensive form can break through the shield of the Void Behemoth, and the speed form can even make William, who is also good at space magic, feel great pressure.
But this should be regarded as an all-round ability, but it was monotonous by the offensive means, either physical impact or high heat and scorching Joshua pressed and beaten, and could only occasionally counterattack for a moment.
"It's so refreshing!"
Staring at Saruka's sudden arm spear, Joshua clenched his right fist, no one could tell whether his hand was moving or not, but with the terrifying change of the gravity field, Saruka's entire body in front of the warrior suddenly flew out upside down, and his twisted body was swept into the center of the battle between the Golden Fleet and the White Dragon King, and was hit by more than a dozen Heart Energy Cluster Cannons.
- Great!
In this melee, the fighters fought very coolly and comfortably. It was Joshua's most enjoyable few days in the last few decades—powerful and incredible opponents on all sides, enemies with incredible strength: the black dragon's negative energy that can break through the degenerate material defenses, the powerful gravity field of the Void Behemoth that can disrupt his mass attack, the white dragon's energy freezing frost that can stop even the reaction of nuclear fusion, the golden fleet teaming up to be comprehensive and powerful, and the almost flawless mental energy, and the demons beyond common sense, The warrior didn't know how to do it at all.
No matter where these abilities are placed, they can be called powerful, enough to make anyone have a headache and anxiety, thinking about how to deal with it, these beings present undoubtedly have the combat power to destroy a small and medium-sized civilization alone, and it is really a miracle that these strong people can gather together at the same time.
Fortunately, he's not bad either.
In the void, Joshua exhaled deeply, spewing out the high-heat exhaust gas generated by the furnace of the Melting Heart in his body, forming a red wind of millions of degrees, and he stretched his arms, causing the phantom of the Iron Giant to appear behind him for a moment.
The reason why he didn't show the form of the Iron Giant was because Joshua knew that in this kind of battlefield, the bigger the size, the easier it was to be targeted, just like the Void Behemoth that was so big that the mountains could not be compared to it, except for it, at least half or so of the seven Legendary Rank attacks were directed at it, and not using the battle form actually didn't affect Joshua's strength much, at most, it couldn't deal with those large creatures, and could only fight with enemies of normal size.
For example, this insect demon lord.
At this time, the insect demon lord Saruka was about to be targeted by the warriors to vomit blood - it had been fighting with Joshua for several days, although it was impossible to judge time in the void, but to the point where they felt the time as accurately as an atomic clock, it could be as fine as a microsecond. has been targeted to this point, even if it is a legendary demon lord, it is about to be unable to support it.
Joshua's power is not as complex and changeable as Barnier, gorgeous and colorful, nor is it as mysterious and unpredictable as William, which cannot be fathomed, not to mention the negative energy and frost power of Keano and Bonnard, as a legend, he seems to be only ordinary strength enough, his body is hard enough, his energy is enough, and his weight is heavy enough, but it is such a simple few powers, which simply oppresses the evolution ability of the Insect Demon Lord to the limit-
That is the power beyond evolution, the body of the demon dragon in the abyss abyss realm can be regarded as the strongest among thousands of creatures, but in the face of Joshua's straight fist is the fate of broken tendons, the carapace of the god blood demon worm of a certain realm is enough to resist the scorching and pressure of the sun, but this kind of defense can only block two more punches in front of the power of the warrior's furnace, under this pressure, Saruka can almost be regarded as a breakthrough, integrating the advantages of the many creatures it has devoured into one furnace, and only then did he get the capital to fight with Joshua head-on without being defeated.
This does not mean that Saruka is weaker than Joshua, it can only be said that the phase is not good, no matter if this insect demon lord is allowed to fight with anyone present, it will not fall into disadvantage, but in the face of Joshua's simple and powerful basic physical fitness, its changeable battle form has lost its meaning, that's all.
"Damn, how could this human restrain me so much?!"
Finally broke away from the battle between the Void Giant Beast and the Golden Fleet, the Insect Demon Lord was so annoyed that he was about to explode, when did Saruka, as the Demon Lord, ever feel so aggrieved? But in the face of Joshua, whose strength is just and simple, and there are no flaws at all for it to peep through and use, Saruka really has no good way, unless its reinforcements, the Second Legion and the Eye Demon Lord Helm arrive as soon as possible, and the two Demon Kings join forces, it will have the confidence to kill Joshua.
Perhaps it was the fierce battle that made all the legendary powerhouses pay attention to each other's bodies, and no one noticed that in the surrounding void, the light brought by the Great Demon Tide was becoming dim, and the light of the twinkling stars in the world was gradually dimming, and even the chaotic and misty space-time turbulence began to become hazy, as if it was covered with a layer of fog.
And the moment everyone finally realized this.
With the sudden coldness and shadows, the black weapon spread rapidly in the void, and the incomparably cold aura spread, and in an instant, all the legendary powerhouses, extraordinary fleets and void beasts present, and even the entire world of Chronos were wrapped in a huge dark cloud that came from nowhere, swallowed into their stomachs!
Darkness is like this, lurking under the light.
