[The Great Demon Tide is actually a tide of energy caused by the destruction of countless worlds in the center of the multiverse. 】

This is the truth behind Joshua's speculation.

This speculation can explain the source of the energy of the Great Demon Tide, why it can sweep the multiverse, and the various strange phenomena that have emerged - such as turning stones into doves, diving into subspace anytime and anywhere, and so on. It is certainly possible in terms of the probability, and it is well enough compared to the more ridiculous speculations.

Of course, this is just a corollary of Joshua, no one knows if this is true or not, if not, they will continue to search for the truth, but if it is, then the problem is serious.

The cause of the Great Tide is still unknown, and while there are many theories that have been proposed, none of them have a reliable basis to prove it, and the same is true of Joshua's speculation, the problem is that his speculation is so terrifying that the first thing that comes to the minds of others is 'how to deny it' rather than 'prove it true'—what is it in the center of the multiverse that has destroyed millions of worlds? Just a little thought about this question makes people close their eyes and shake their heads.

"There is information about the 'Suspected Authority' event that needs to be shared with other legends."

While everyone was thinking silently, Barbarossa broke the silent silence, he coughed, and then clapped his hands and said: "Anyway, as the Great Demon Tide continues, there will definitely be more and more people with this strange power, and when the number reaches a threshold, then it may destabilize society...... It must be regulated as much as possible. ”

Everyone present nodded, and Barbarossa was exactly what they thought. Unlike mages, warriors and priests who have a history of inheritance, and it is easy to find their own systematic inheritance when investigated, the people who have awakened all kinds of authority abilities are very similar to the popular 'superpowers' in Joshua's hometown, they do not have a systematic cultivation system, and the ability to awaken is also different from person to person, not the same, and the scope of its awakening is very immediate and vast, and no one knows who will be chosen by the authority.

Spellcasters, warriors and priests are all forces that can be controlled, and they are considered to be holders of extraordinary powers with official licenses, but the power awakened is different, the power they hold has nothing to do with their own power, maybe someone can cause great damage and he doesn't know it, so the major forces must be careful and strictly supervised, so as not to cause any chaos.

"This incident and the relevant information tell them that it doesn't matter, anyway, they will find out after a while...... But Joshua's speculation ......"

It is not difficult to hand over the information about the 'Awakened Powers' - especially those who are suspected of obtaining the ability to obtain the fragments of the steel power of other worlds - to other great powers, Barnier just clicked on the void casually, and a string of runes has been inscribed, condensing countless information into a magic crystal, and then he put this magic crystal in a metal communication device to transmit it to the receivers of the major forces, and after doing all this, the old mage hesitated for a while, and whispered: "I think, This news still doesn't need to spread on a large scale. ”

"Indeed, this news is too bizarre, and it is only speculation and inference."

Hearing this, Joshua and William's faces did not move, looking indifferent, while Barbarossa was silent for a moment, he nodded slightly: "Well, abrupt propaganda will give unnecessary tension to the major forces, wait until we have researched a little bit and have some convincing evidence, and then consider telling other forces." ”

"If Israel or Nostradamus had asked me, I would have said it, and if they hadn't, I would have kept it silent."

Joshua nodded, he also felt that this was the case—the stakes were high, and the casual promotion of false news would inevitably lead to evil consequences, and the warrior felt that it was better to be careful for a while than to start a nervous guard without doing any investigation...... What's more, he also knew a lot of world wills, and Joshua thought that it would be better to find a few steel pythons and ask about the situation than for them to guess in the cabin of the airship.

He recently happened to be commissioned by Karlis, to go to another world to help the will of other worlds.

Because the topic was too heavy, when the basic speculation and deduction were over, many legends returned, Barbarossa scattered into elements and disappeared in a farewell, Joshua also turned into a dark shadow in mid-air, and flew towards Moldavia, while Barnier and Old Mage William flew back to their base in the Eastern Plains in the Void Airship after sorting out the experimental materials in place for a while.

The warrior flew in the wilderness of the Great Ajax Mountains and Moldavia, his speed was not fast, compared to his full speed of nearly a tenth of the speed of light, it could only be said to be a walk, Joshua looked down at the earth, gazed at the dotted lights on the ground, he could already see in the distance the colorful and shining Moldavia, which was already a city that never sleeps.

The lights are lit up every night in Moldavia, tourists from afar laugh and laugh in the streets of the business district, adventurers gather in the taverns, low-cost lights from the magic machines fill the streets and alleys, and the midshipmen of the Champion Academy are interning in the city guards, and young men who want to show off their skills wear armor with the coat of arms of the sword hand, and they patrol the streets in anticipation of a chance to show their skills.

The Northland has been transformed into a land of dreams, legends, and hopes, where there are no bandits, no monsters, no natural disasters and cultists, where the cost of education and daily life is minimized by numerous vocational schools and magic factories, and perhaps one of the strongest people in the world lives in the Lord's House in the heart of the city, sheltering all his people.

Archmage, Golden Warrior, High Druid from the Far South, Paladin...... Countless people have come here to find their own opportunities and possibilities, some of them have succeeded, some have failed, but whether they succeed or failed, they have witnessed all this, how a small city of hundreds of thousands has become the largest urban circle in the world today, how the best professional college in the world has developed, in this land, some of them have found the answer, and returned to their hometown with satisfaction, and some have not, so they still stay here, waiting for the day when the answer will be obtained.

The light flickered, and the huge magic circle that shrouded the entire city flickered faintly in the night sky for a moment, it was the giant shelter circle that Joshua commissioned Winterhold Academy to set up with No. 3, which can purify the air inside the circle, and has powerful detection and defense measures, but the most important thing is the circle itself - it is the first large-scale integrated circle independently developed by Winterkeep Academy, independently manufactured, and laid independently, which proves that Winterkeep Academy has the ability to carry out large-scale magic engineering construction, and the forces with this ability, There will never be more than ten fingers in the whole world.

Sometimes, the strong may not do anything deliberately, and his very existence can make the world a better place...... Or worse.

Coming to the edge of the circle, above the city, Joshua did not rush back to the lord's mansion, he slowly landed on top of the huge warrior statue at the gate of the city - that is, the huge statue he had created with the power of steel not long ago. The warriors stood on top of these statues hundreds of meters and observed the lives of everyone in the city.

In the residential area of Nancheng, he will go to the Ministry of Foreign Development of the Empire in a few days, and Priest, who is going to carry out the first experimental development mission, is patiently teaching his sister mathematics in his small home, facing the little girl who shakes his pen and turns his head, and plays with his temper, this man takes the trouble to comfort the other party, and teaches her how to write numbers step by step, how to calculate, and how to come up with the answer. But the little girl was not angry because of this, she turned and hugged her brother's arm, and began to sob, so that tears wet her cuffs.

"Don't leave Britney...... All right? ”

"I have to provide you with a better life...... It's what I'm fighting for, everything to me. ”

The girl longs for an ordinary life with her loved ones, but the man knows that if he wants to live an ordinary life in this world, he must have extraordinary strength, and he firmly believes that the temporary separation is short-lived, and they will enjoy a longer happiness in the future.

Xicheng business district, completed the task, at this time is wandering in an alchemy shop, looking for the materials she needs, Lisa is taking a brisk step, full of vitality and greeting the familiar boss, on the girl's shoulder, you can see a small, model-like steel villain, part of the body of the first separation is making a sizzling sound at this time, chatting with the dragon girl who is humming a minor tune, there are mental fluctuations faintly, it is the voice of the fire demon syndicate - although it seems to be just a person, but in fact, Lisa is always in company.

"Mr. Syndicate, how about this enchanted pendant?"

"It's not good, you're all silver-level, why do you need a low-grade equipment for ordinary people?"

"But it's beautiful...... You see. Picking up the cheap but well-made elven enchanted pendant, Lisa placed it on her chest and attached it to her delicate collarbone, and the girl activated the magic in it, and the warm fluorescent light up slightly.

“…… Hmm, ah...... Indeed, beautiful. "Zizi, zizi."

The Syndicate, who didn't know how to answer, and the first number, who made a strange noise, watched Lisa happily buy the trinket, which was useless to her—but what did it matter? What could be more important than having fun? The flame demon, who is less and less like a demon, is too lazy to think about this kind of philosophical question, because Lisa just now is indeed very beautiful.

And in a bar less than a street away from Lisa, the five members of the first squad are fighting against each other at a leprechaun card table, using entertainment to relieve the frenzy and frustration of always losing to a certain dragon girl descendant, at this time Ivan and Alva are battling, and the dwarf Nick is being caught by Amira and Karin for bragging about himself. Now, a hundred and twenty glasses of wine have been poured, and the dwarf, who is not allowed to use magic to relieve drunkenness, has been to the toilet more than a dozen times - and thanks to the Elemental Forging Method inherited by Joshua, Nick is still a little conscious at this time, and now, he is lying on the floor of the tavern, rolling around, while shouting 'I don't drink, I don't drink'.

Shameful dwarves aside, at this time, Ivan and the Seven Princes were in a fierce card duel, but the way they fought was a little different from ordinary people - they did not engage in traditional battles, but drew cards wildly.

"Heh, you've guaranteed forty-two times, and you don't have a single legendary card, admit defeat!"

"Tsk, where are you going? It's just two more Epic Cards than I am...... Yes! I got it! ”

While drawing cards, the two were bickering with good intentions, and suddenly, Ivan shouted, 'I'm hit!' And the card table also happened to send out 'Legend! 'Such a voice.

Suddenly, half of the people in the tavern turned their heads to look at the location of Ivan and Alva, and Ivan also looked at the new legendary card after the Seven Princes simply admitted defeat and complained.

【Elemental Master: Barbarossa】

[10 mana, 5 attacks, 9 health]

[Chain: Whenever you use a spell card, reuse it once.] 】

[Arrival: Put a 'Elemental Collapse' into your hand]

[Curtain call: Put a 'Elemental Collapse' card into your hand]

【Elemental Collapse】

[5 Legendary Spell Cards]

[Deal 5 Ignore Armor damage to all enemies and heroes, discard a random card from your hand]

[——Towering mountains, small insects between leaves, everything is composed of elements...... All things are equal and all things are one, and without understanding this, we cannot continue to move towards the truth. 】

The mage standing at the top of the tower at dusk was shrouded in shadows and could not see his expression clearly, and the light of the seven elements gathered behind him, forming a dim elemental reincarnation.

As for why it's a card draw instead of a real battle, according to the original words of the two, it is, 'I've recharged all the money, and you still want me to spend time playing?' This answer.

There are also all kinds of strange and interesting things, such as the troubles that Adrian, who is enjoying a supper on the top floor of the State Guest House with the elves, now needs to face - in front of him, four cute little people of different colors are snatching straws from each other for a glass of melon and strawberry juice, and the six princes can't help but smile wryly when they look at this scene, as well as the other three identical juices at hand.

In addition, whether it is Hotaru who accompanies No. 3 to go shopping and strolls through the store hand in hand, or Rin, who is reading and studying with Xiaoguang instead of black, their daily life is very interesting, their lives are full of vitality and bright colors, and Joshua likes this atmosphere very much.

As for the black ...... The warrior changed his perspective and saw the black dragon girl who was still lying in the pool, not exercising as planned, and then sighed. There is no doubt that she is lazy again! Although he thought so in his heart, Joshua also knew that for a true dragon who was gradually transforming into an ancient dragon, the fast-paced life of humans was really difficult to adapt to, and sometimes black was not actually lazy, but from the blood and inner fatigue...... But Joshua couldn't let her really fall asleep, because that sleep might be tens or hundreds of years.

There are no dragon scourges, no cultists, no civil strife among the kings after the fall of Israel, no clerical commotion after Iger's disappearance...... Everything was beautiful and peaceful.

"The world...... It must not become like that. ”

Looking at this scene, Joshua couldn't help but think of his speculation not long ago, thinking of the countless worlds in the distance that could be destroyed, he couldn't help muttering to himself, and then, Joshua suddenly frowned and stopped speaking. The warrior was shocked by what he had just said, but then, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

People will change, people will not change, the pure warriors of the past will actually sigh because of the ordinary night scene of the city, this is the proof that the steel has been smoothed out and the hard heart has begun to become soft. But it is the same, because this man has been like this from beginning to end, he cannot sit idly by and watch the disaster happen, he cannot sit idly by and watch the prayers of the weak, he cannot bear to refuse the dreams of others, and he cannot bear to become more and more inhuman.

He is the savior, not the god of destruction.

Because of the endless destruction that could exist in the center of the multiverse, the divine light that was about to move flickered in the depths of Joshua's body, and the dim black-red light followed the steel body to light up with tree-like runes, it was beautiful and hideous, but the warrior was no longer affected by the anger and destruction it bringed, and his eyes flashed with a silver glow like a nebula, representing the heart of consistency.

- What needs to be destroyed, destroyed, is only the enemy, the mighty enemy, the violent against the weak and their own people, the coward who cannot control his own desires, proves that Joshua van Radcliffe is the one who controls the Divine, and not the one who is influenced by the Divine.

He controls power, not is controlled by it.

So, when he closed his eyes, breathed, and held his breath, and opened them again, the dim black-red light faded from Joshua's body, and the warrior who had once again overcome his divinity stood on his statue and looked down on the earth, his gaze calm, and the silver light turned, like a cloudless night sky, quiet and peaceful.

"The time is coming."

The warrior looked up at the heavens, and in the far southwest, there was a hazy and uncertain distorted space, and the gods had gradually revived, either returning to their temples and enjoying the worship of the believers, or disguised as mortals, walking the world, these powerful beings had so far shown no purpose, they had come as if they were simply to integrate the Boundless Heavens into the world.

But it could never be just that, Joshua was so convinced. He got up and flew back to the lord's palace, where the warrior woke up Hei, who was about to fall asleep in the pool, and personally urged her to continue her practice against the exhaustion that came from her blood, and the perverse instinct should be overcome, which is called progress.

Time passes in this way, day and night alternate, time passes.

Starfall 837, June 15.

The day of the covenant with God has come.
