Chapter 15: The Seven Gods and New Events
Pretty much all of it.
"Pretty much all of them."
What he thought in his heart was the words in his mouth, although Joshua was still thinking about how to explain to the steel python Karlis, he did not intend to hide his thoughts, facing the question of the Lord of Love and Decay who came in the incarnation of 'Joy and Sorrow', the warrior stood on top of the void, he held Xiaoguang in one hand, nodded, and said in a serious tone: "Need help?" β
"I've seen the seal at the center of the earth, and maybe I can do a part too."
Joshua's thinking logic is very simple and straightforward: since McCroft's world will try to be an enemy of people, then he naturally will not have any politeness or mercy, although for various reasons, as a human being, he cannot kill the mother of all things, but if it is to add bricks to the seal that suppresses it, then the warrior will not have any psychological burden, and will even happily move mountains from mountain to mountain.
As for whether the root of this matter is right or wrong, that is not something that he, a descendant of a thousand years after the glorious era, needs to consider, it is something that only the sages and gods of the past need to think about.
It was obvious that the warrior's answer was not at all expected by the goddess of decay, and in the face of Joshua's straightforward reply, the radiance of divine power that was constantly fluttering around him froze for a moment before returning to its original state.
In the millennia of the Starfall Era, he had never seen a human of such character.
"Thank you for your enthusiasm, Joshua, but the gods don't need help, we have our own plans."
After quietly looking at the warrior for a while, the goddess of decay slowly spoke, and as she spoke, the elf incarnation that the goddess originally used to communicate with humanoid creatures collapsed into countless points of divine power, merging into the huge withered heart, and a calm voice came from that heart: "The power of steel you hold is the power of the last era, which belongs to the Mother Earth Goddess line...... In order to avoid some unexpected changes, I hope you can stay away from the Boundless Realm for a while. β
"I understand."
Joshua nodded seriously, he understood the mentality of the gods at this time, now is the most important juncture to strengthen the seal of the world's will, there must be no accidents, as an existence with the power of steel, he may stimulate the steel python Microf, and whether this stimulation is good or bad, it is something that the gods do not want to see.
Therefore, the goddess of decay deliberately divided her power to persuade Joshua to stay away from the Boundless Heaven Realm for the time being.
After explaining, Joshua didn't say even a word, he turned around directly, lowered the barrier of the Mycrof world, and in a short moment, he broke through the void and returned to the Mycrof world.
Beyond the barrier of the world, the withered heart slowly stirred in the void, and he stared in the direction of Joshua's departure for a long time, as if thinking about something.
Tens of seconds later, with bursts of divine power fluctuations, one after another runes and faces containing a majestic aura appeared in the void, black rings, and the eyes of the fork in the road...... Many of the emblems belonging to the Seven Gods appeared behind the withered heart, and they watched in silence in the direction of Joshua's departure.
"He's a peculiar." The god of power put it this way: "He calmed the turmoil and brought about an end to the strife on the continent." β
"An unstable core, an unfathomable idea." The god of order shook his head: "A powerful being alone will destroy the original order. β
"He brought a rebirth and a whole new choice to the world." The God of Choice pondered, "No other legend can do this." β
"But he's not a qualified leader, he's too simple to lead and unite the power of the world." The Guardian God sighed, "I'm sorry. β
"It remains to be observed that right now, he is not the 'Divine Awakener' we need." The god of liberty said calmly: "When it comes to character, Eagle is more suitable than him, but Eagle is not qualified, he has some permissions. β
"This is not the time for small talk, the peak tide of the demon tide is coming, time is running out, we must solve the resentment of the Mother of All Things as soon as possible."
In response, the god of life ended the discussion: "Let's get back to work." β
"His heart is full of passion......"
The emblems of the gods finished their observation, and they slowly dissipated into the void, allowing this power to return to the boundless realm, stabilizing the process of merging the plane and the world, while the withered heart, joy and sorrow were the last to disappear, and he whispered, "It's exactly like 'him' once was." β
"But do we really need a second 'him'?"
The spirit of the tiny flow of information turned into fragments that quickly dissipated through the void with a sigh, and the god of decay, like his companions, returned this scattered power to the Boundless Realm and continued his work.
And Joshua, who didn't know that he was being commented on by the Seven Gods, was now in the sky of Northland Moldavia, and through the light in his arms, he continued to communicate with the previously silent Metal Python Karlis.
At the moment when the god of love and decay appeared, the originally active steel python Karlis was silent, and during the entire process of communication between the warrior and the other party, Karlis did not make a sound - Joshua knew that this had absolutely nothing to do with fear and not wanting to be discovered, Karlis was the will of another world, and the evil gods could not kill it for thousands of years, and if there were no special means, the seven gods naturally could not do anything with it, so that the silence of the other party was somewhat intriguing.
Could it be that you guessed that the wailing voice was actually the resentment of the will of the world, and we, Mrs. McCro, were sealing each other?
Joshua thought of this and sighed helplessly in his heart...... To be honest, it was much more difficult for him to explain such a thing than to beat up a demonic Maharaja.
Joshua couldn't help but feel nostalgic for the original Kronos World and the Star Worldβin those two worlds, all he needed to solve was to destroy the enemy, whether the enemy was the Void Mother Beast or the Black Mist, or even four or five other legends, no matter how difficult the process was, it wouldn't make him think so hard. After all, he is not a man of words.
Just say it directly.
Because he didn't want to lie, Joshua really couldn't hide the truth of this matter from Karlis, but just as Joshua was about to open his mouth and tell Fullmetal Python in detail about the contradiction between the will of the McCrove world and intelligent life, suddenly, Karlis, who had been silent, spoke.
"Joshua."
Karlis's tone at this time had a hint of obvious disbelief, and it was the first time that Joshua had heard this steel python, who had always been gentle and calm, speak in this tone, and it said in a tone of extreme self-doubt: "Maybe you can't believe it, but I just sensed a trace of extremely familiar aura." β
"Since you've found out, then I can only say it."
As soon as he heard Karlis's words, although Joshua sighed on the surface, he was relieved in his heart - since the other party had already sensed the breath of the steel python Microf, then he didn't need to be so entangled, so Joshua directly told Karliss everything he knew about the Mother Earth God and the will of the world through the spiritual link before Karliss spoke again.
"What?!"
Before he could finish his words, he learned such a heavy news from Joshua's mouth, and the steel python Karlis was obviously stunned for a while, and after half a sound, it shook its head with pity: "Actually confronting the sage...... What exactly does McCrove think, is he really crazy? β
Karlis's evaluation is quite objective, after all, for the sage, even the will of the world, is not more noble than other existences, if Microf is his own steel python, then for the sake of the other party is the mother of all things, the sage will definitely respect the other party very much, but since the other party is crazy, he wants to reshape the ecosystem...... It is also inevitable to be suppressed.
But in turn, this time it was Joshua's turn to be shocked: "You're not actually angry? β
"Why be angry?"
Karliss was quite confused, and after a moment of inexplicability, he suddenly reacted: "What emotions do you think I will have because of the identity of the Steel Python?" Don't think too much about it, Joshua, the difference between worlds is greater than the difference between any living being...... Although we are all called steel pythons, we are fundamentally different beings. β
On the other side of the spirit, Callis shook his head amusedly: "Although I don't know what happened, since McCrove intends to destroy civilization, it is only a natural result that it is sealed by civilization." β
In this regard, Joshua could only sigh that the relationship between the Steel Python was more peculiar than he imagined, but if you think about it, compared to the differences between different lifeforms, the differences between worlds are greater, whether it is size, energy density, whether there is civilization, the number of races, the density, and the degree of civilization...... This data is like human genes and body type, differentiating each world.
"It's best for you Microve civilization to solve the battle between your own world, although I do have some unhappiness, but it is only because of fear of the power that dares to take action against the world."
Karliss did not continue on this question, and in the middle of his sentence, he changed the subject: "In this way, the precursor to the destruction of the so-called world is nothing more than the abnormal movement of you to seal Microf again...... Then continue with what I was interrupted just nowβJoshua, I felt a familiar aura from those gods just now. β
"What familiar breath?"
Joshua was flying towards the main city of Moldavia at this time, and the night scene of the city was already brightly lit under him, but feeling the seriousness of Karlis's tone, he slowed down his flight.
"Don't you really feel anything, Joshua?" The Steel Python looked even stranger than the warrior: "You are the successor of the sages, can't you feel the obvious sage aura of those gods?" β
"The essence of their power is from the same source as that of the sages!"
Isn't this a normal thing? After all, they are all beings who use the power of the Light...... Wait a minute.
Joshua originally thought that Karliss was making a little fuss, but it was just holy light, how could it be said that it was an obvious sage aura, and it also came from the same source - according to this statement, wouldn't the Church of the Seven Gods be the disciples and grandchildren of the sages from top to bottom?
But after the warrior shook his head disappreciatively, he suddenly stopped his movements, and his brows furrowed: "No...... The Holy Light is indeed a power that belongs exclusively to the sages, and it is indeed correct to say that it is a disciple and a disciple. β
The more Joshua thought about it, the clearer it became: "It's not magic and fighting spirit, it's not something that the Starfall civilization has redeveloped itself...... It is directly passed down from the seven gods, from the inheritance of the Glorious Era, and now the flood of holy light is completely the credit of the seven gods! β
If the Seven Gods did not pass on the Holy Light, then there would be no such special power in the Mycrof Continent, and he would not lose the sense of the sage aura on the Seven Gods because of the flood of the Holy Light...... After all, this aura was almost everywhere in the world, and it had become a part of life, and even Joshua could hardly find it special to see the Holy Light.
Only Karlis, who had been dormant for a thousand years and had only recently reappeared, could be discovered.
Karliss didn't continue the topic, after all, it just sensed the familiar aura and mentioned a word to Joshua, and Joshua didn't have any reliable guesses in his heart at this time, after all, the last time he communicated with Xingzheng, the other party had already explained that they didn't know their origins, and felt that they seemed to be a tool that was predetermined to wake up and protect civilization.
The Seven Gods may have been created by the sages and the remaining gods of the Glorious Age. Joshua could only come up with such a guess, as for the prototype of the seven gods, it may be the saints under the throne of the sages.
At this time, he could already see the night scene of New Moldavia lit up by lights, Joshua glanced at the city that belonged to him, watching the warm and pleasant night life of the people in it, he slowed down slightly, making the movement of his flight invisible, Joshua landed towards the Lord's Palace, and said to Karlis: "Thank you for coming to remind us today, with you on guard, you can indeed provide us with a lot of information that we cannot observe ourselves." β
"It's just a small thing, the main thing is the destruction of the world, and it is very likely that it is a condition for the 'doomsday' of the evil god, I just want to remind you of this."
On the other side of time and space, the steel python nodded slightly: "After all, the two worlds are so close to each other, you are destroyed, and I am about to be destroyed." β
"That's right."
Just as Joshua was about to land on the top floor of the Lord's Mansion, Karliss suddenly spoke, "Joshua, I have a commission from another world here, we discussed it last time. β
Hearing this, Joshua stopped his actions.
It says that the civilization it has bred has always perished for some unknown reason and can never develop to a higher class...... It senses signs of interference and suspects chaos that it is responsible, and it hopes that someone can help it conduct a self-examination and clear the chaos from its body. β
Karlis said so, but as soon as he finished speaking, the steel python found that except for the shock caused by the destruction of the world at the beginning, Joshua, who didn't seem to be too enthusiastic for the rest of the time, seemed to have come to the spirit at this time, he clenched his fists, and the momentum on his body continued to rise.
"This kind of thing, you should have said it earlier."
With a long exhale, Joshua involuntarily smiled: "Say, Karlis, be specific." β
Maybe it's really born to work hard, he thought after he finished speaking. The warrior felt that he was indeed not suitable for rest, for a too leisurely life, and that this kind of peaceful routine could certainly make people feel happy and happy, but it was not what Joshua wanted, and he always needed to do something big to be satisfied......
But what does it matter? That's how he lives.
"Where to go? Who is the enemy? How many kills? β
"When do I leave?"
