Chapter 3: The Erosion of Divinity
"Nice idea!"
Yi Zhe's eyes widened at Joshua's idea, and the dwarf god nodded in appreciation.
In his opinion, this special world structure designed by Joshua can accelerate the transformation and accumulation of extraordinary power to the greatest extent, and can even be used as an example for various half-planes, in which intelligent life can be completely replaced by ordinary demonic beasts, which is nothing more than a little less efficient, and the biggest use of this design is to accelerate the progress speed of the half-plane to the world.
Although as a god, he does not need this kind of technology, but as long as it is progress, whether it is technology or personal strength, Yi Zhe will agree and support it.
As for the departure and stay of Joshua's body, it has now been decided, according to the calculations of the God of Wisdom and Choice, the initial formation of the Creation Vortex, even at the fastest speed, will take nearly more than a year, and the subsequent reinforcement and recovery time will be even longer, that is to say, the time for Joshua to draw strength from the Creation Vortex is still about a safe time, and then it will be worth the loss because of the need to resist the pressure of time and space.
But a year is enough, and the particles of steel and authority that warriors draw here every day are better than a year of wandering the void.
And just as Yi Zhe chatted with Joshua a few more words and was about to leave, violet and white divine light flashed, and the god of joy and sorrow and life came to the inside of the warrior's world at the same time.
"Radcliffe ......"
Yue Wai, who appeared in the form of an elf lady, the first thing after her arrival was to seriously look up and down the current Joshua, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he saw something, but after stopping for a moment, he still shook his head: "Forget it...... I just want to say that if you need any help, feel free to let us know. ”
After saying that, He turned into a divine light again and hurried away. And the God of Life who came with him also looked at Joshua for a moment, and then looked at the Nine Empty Island World, and after nodding slightly, he also left in a hurry, not knowing what he had come here for.
Soon, as Yi Zhe also left, the divine light of the six gods flew away from the extremely dark abyss after circling the silver world. Unlike Joshua, they were unable to draw on the power of steel, and they had already felt discomfort in the Maelstrom of Creation, and they needed to expend their divine power all the time to ensure that they were not repelled.
“……”
After making sure that the six gods were completely gone, Joshua maintained his original position, and the humanoid hub stayed in the center of the star, not moving for a long time.
At this time, the warrior seemed to be suspended by time, not only the entire body was still, but even the silver sun in the center of the world temporarily stopped churning and glowing, and the energy cycle was interrupted, causing the entire world to immediately fall into complete darkness, and the power to control the rotation of the positions of the nine empty islands also disappeared, and everything gradually fell into stagnation and silence.
“…… Alas. ”
After standing in place for a long time, I could hear a faint sigh coming from the darkness.
And two points of red red light also appeared in the center of darkness at this time.
As the red light came up, the silver sun regained its light, and the world that had been interrupted by the cycle gradually restarted, just like the factory that had suddenly lost power, and began to operate again.
And Joshua, who had finally regained some mobility, looked down at his hands, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if trying to hide the red divine light that surged from the depths of his pupils.
"They couldn't have come at the right time."
After half a ring, Joshua raised his trembling hand and pressed his forehead, and the warrior whispered to himself, his voice seemed to have a little self-deprecation: "Use the most blunt tone and way of talking, and shorten the time of communication as much as possible...... But despite this, it was still a little too long, and it almost showed the filling. ”
Saying this, the avatar of the warrior humanoid slowly lowered his hand, and it was such a simple action that actually made this avatar suddenly disappear for a moment as if the TV signal was in poor contact—although he immediately reappeared again, but it could be seen that in some subtle parts, the re-condensed avatar could no longer be controlled, and there was a big flaw in the structure, like a 3D model that had been molded.
"I ...... Still too arrogant......"
As if trying to come to his senses, Joshua shook his head vigorously, but this action could not make him more sober, and in the confusion, he could only smile bitterly: "The resentment and despair carried by the evil god of death...... I'm on my own...... The burden is still too heavy. ”
Not long ago, in the final battle with the Evil God of Death, Joshua used the runes of his own world to create a weapon like a stream of light with electromagnetic waves.
This kind of weapon composed of pure light does not have any material lethality, but because it carries a special steel force, it can extract information at a very fast speed and transmit it, in other words, it is not so much a weapon as a high-level link transmitter.
This kind of light weapon, whether it is against a superpower like Fatloorvi who has the power of the world, or against a magical mesoscopic agent like the black fog, is useless, but if this weapon is used on the evil god, then it can reap miraculous effects - it can disintegrate the strongest chaos barrier of the evil god, and directly shatter the evil god core that combines memory and soul, which can be said to be a special artifact for the evil god.
And if it is against the embryo of the evil god that is condensed together, the primordial body of the evil god of death, this weapon is even more terrifying, it can extract the endless memories in the chaos just by existing, and make the condensed chaotic stars and clumps turn into worthless chaotic dust, turning one thousand and ten thousand into ten thousand equally.
Of course, such a special weapon against the evil god also has a drawback.
That is a mental blow to the user.
Every time Joshua shatters a Chaos Clot with a weapon of light, the memories of a destroyed world are entered into the world's obelisk through the transit station of Joshua himself.
Every shot, every attack, will bring a great burden to Joshua's thinking, but because the warrior has no soul, he does not have to bear the injuries of the soul, and all his corresponding damage is jointly borne by the collective computing matrix in the world - just to record the information of thousands of civilizations, the memory matrix has been reborn and destroyed hundreds of times, which is equivalent to the soul of an ordinary strong person being broken hundreds of times.
Killing a thousand enemies, self-damage of eight hundred-or even self-damage of two thousand, this combat method can also be used by Joshua, no matter who the others are, as long as they use it once, their souls will suffer a heavy blow.
And in the end, the explosion of the Radiant Axe cut through the entire Abyss, which meant that endless sad memories poured into the warrior's mind at the same time, trying to assimilate him into a new evil god.
Even Joshua would never be able to resist this torrent of thoughts, so he could only strengthen his spirit through one method, and it was extremely difficult to resist this kind of soul attack that was enough to change the physical structure of reality.
That is divinity.
Through awakening and strengthening his already controlled divinity, Joshua stubbornly carried through the most dangerous spiritual peak, forcibly crushing the last counterattack of the evil god embryo of death - but this does not mean that the danger has passed, on the contrary, the dangerous moment has just begun.
Compared with the chaotic power that can be slowly consumed by time and helpers, the over-strengthening divinity is the root cause of Joshua's thinking starting to go wrong, and because of the characteristics of divinity, Joshua can't even find a solution, so he can only use his own spiritual power to kill and suppress the other party through stupid methods - this incident has led to Joshua's current bad state.
Today's warriors, in fact, are the same as those heroic souls who have just recovered and just woken up, the whole person's thinking is in a state of confusion, and it is only slightly normal when he shapes the world and resurrects the heroic souls, and the appearance of the six gods makes him sober up for a short moment and realize his current situation.
"Go on like this...... Whether I am swallowed up by the remnants of the devastating memory of the evil god of death, or crushed by divinity to my own will, I will no longer be me......"
Thinking of this, Joshua immediately recalled the previous act of the god of joy and sorrow and life suddenly coming and leaving suddenly—the other party's demeanor that obviously saw something, as if he had indeed discovered something, it was not surprising, as gods, they had always been sensitive to such things.
Thinking of this, the warrior couldn't help but recall what Yue Wai had said not long ago, that after the sage returned from the abyss of the dark, he was no longer the original sage.
Between his current state and the sages of that time...... Are there similarities?
"Holy Light...... Weapons of Light...... Sage ......"
Closing his eyes, Joshua's humanoid form slowly collapsed in the silver star—he had no strength left to keep a humanoid communication terminal—and at this point, the warrior's will began to diverge: "Ha, it is impossible for a sage to be like me, so arrogant, as a person, to bear the despair of the entire abyss and the evil gods at that time......"
Maybe.
Probably.
Joshua stopped thinking about it.
All the thought threads began to constrict, to concentrate, and all the computing power was used to suppress the increasingly turbulent memories of the desperate world, and the increasingly powerful fighting divinity. You can see that among the silver stars, there is a crimson light flowing, like blood-colored lightning shuttling in the silver clouds.
Of course, the aftermath after the end of the battle was serious.
But if Joshua had to choose again, he would do the same.
No one knows if the Evil God of Death will suddenly reorganize in the next moment, causing everyone's sacrifices and efforts to fall short, and no one knows that the power and essence of the Evil God of Death is so powerful that if you don't use the most targeted weapons, it will be very difficult to even break through the defense.
In the deepest depths of the Extremely Dark Abyss, chaos occupies everything, if it were not for the blessing of the gods and the boundless divine power, Joshua would not even be able to act, if it were not for the use of the weapon of light, he would have become the condensation core of the evil god of death by now, his self-consciousness dissipated, and he even had to incarnate as an evil god to destroy the world of Microf and many other worlds.
Compared with this possibility of the future, the current situation is just a little troublesome.
At the bottom of the creation maelstrom, the six-colored divine light shone, and a silver star world was radiant, but it gradually dimmed.
A long time has passed.
During this period, there were several fluctuations in space-time magic, or the Void Battleship came around, and after looking at it from a distance for a while, many people broke through the increasingly strong repulsive force of the Creation Maelstrom, just to take a look at the silver world.
They are worried, troubled, confident, or just want to see the excitement...... But months passed, and the end of the 840th year of the starfall had passed, and the silver stars still did not change, and they were still dim.
Until one day.
McCrove World Time, starfall 841, January 20.
An ordinary and ordinary day with no one visiting, only silver stars slowly rotating in the center of the whirlpool.
The shell of the world has finally regained some light.
The existence that lurks in it to recuperate is gradually awakening.
Inside the silver world, in the center of the core star, Joshua's incarnation condensed again, and this time the incarnation was very perfect, without any strange flaws.
"Has half a year passed...... Although the automatic collector and bootstrap were set up before hibernation, a lot of testing time was wasted. ”
Looking at his palms with a calm face, Joshua clenched his fists, then let go, he raised his head, looked at the many heroic souls who were following the bootstrap in the empty island, relearning knowledge, and then nodded: "At least half a year, it's not too late...... And before that, I should go back, or they must be worried. ”
In the center of the brightest star, the warrior looked around his world alone, his face calm, but the invisible coercion swelled, making the direct gaze feel like facing an angry god. It can be seen that around the silver star, the nine empty islands rotate like nine planets, and the heroic souls of civilization who have begun to gradually produce exchanges and cooperation, as well as many flying silver goblins, have made this originally silent world a little more vibrant.
Looking at this scene, Joshua's eyes, which were still as indifferent as machines, gradually softened, and after a moment of silence, he whispered to himself, "However, there are still some things that need to be done. ”
With that, the whole world began to roar and shake.
The original abyss, the current creation maelstrom, the black and white torrent is still constantly clashing and spinning.
The wreckage of the world, which had been piled up for thousands of years, mixed with the power of the demonic tide that had slanted from the great maelstrom of the void, turned into a torrent capable of shattering everything, grinding everything into the tiniest particles of steel.
But at the center of this incomparably dangerous vortex, a slightly faint silver star floated at the bottom of the vortex, seemingly completely unaffected by its surroundings, and was firmly embedded in the center of the most intense undercurrent, washed by the endless torrent of matter.
And now, this silver star, which has been washed away for half a year, has suddenly undergone a slight change.
It can be seen that the surface of the silver world, which was originally absolutely smooth, suddenly appeared several depressions—these depressions quickly formed one after another holes deep into the interior of the world, and a large number of cylindrical particles that seemed to be made of steel erupted from them, mixing into the maelstrom of creation.
Although these cylindrical particles are said to be particles, they are only for the Creation Vortex, and each steel cylinder is one meter high, and its texture is extremely hard, even the grinding of the Creation Vortex cannot crush its surface, and can only carry it forward together.
The silver world opened three hundred and sixty depressions, each of which spewed steel cylinders towards the Creation Maelstrom for nearly five minutes or so, and from a distance, it seemed as if the silver world was breathing in the extremely cold and dry air, and a large amount of white mist erupted from the gaps, and then dissipated in the vortex.
After all of this, the silver world fell silent again - but not the same as before.
Because there was a ray of light, detached from the pole of the world, he dragged a long band of light, and quickly left towards the normal world galaxy beyond the whirlpool.
……
Starfall 841, January 20, Northland Moldavian Domain, Inner City Lord's Palace.
The afternoon sun filtered through the heavy tempered glass and spilled over the dark brown desk, the dust drifting in the sunlight and rising with the heated air—and along with the dust, the magical projection of a certain winged lady.
In the silent cold-toned study, the seventh-level AI that was supposed to control the main server of the magic network was floating blankly on the ceiling of someone's study, as if thinking about something.
It can be seen that the study room, which has obviously not been visited for a long time, is full of a large number of books, some of which are heavy history books, such as "The Origin of the Thirty-six Kingdoms of the West Mountain" and "The Origin of the Northland Royal Family", and some of which are popular for the recent fire, such as "Dimensional Expedition: Exploration of the Other World", "Small World: Endless Fun" and so on.
Of course, most of them are classics about supernatural powers, and you can also find that in the manuscript paper at the edge of the desk, there are a large number of manuscripts that have been written to the fullest, and there seem to be a variety of new and special supernatural power cultivation methods, which the writer seems to have taken into account the level of the reader, and deliberately wrote them very easy to understand.
Everything was perfect, except for the fact that the handwriting on the manuscript paper looked so stiff and ugly.
Miss Wingman simply watched all this, her gaze drifting away, and her mind seemed to have wandered into the world.
"What's wrong, Number Three?"
Suddenly, a familiar low male voice suddenly appeared at the door.
The abrupt voice visibly startled the AI in a daze, causing her projection to disappear for a moment before recondensing in a panic.
And at this time, a man opened the door and walked into the study, he raised his head and looked at the unknown where No. 3 was, Joshua asked calmly, "Did something happen?" ”
“…… No. ”
With her eyes wide open, Number 3 stared at the man at the door, she wanted to say something, such as Hotaru and Rin's recent hard work, Kuro's recent hard training, and Hikaru getting a little bigger...... She wanted to say that there was a new batch of cadets graduating from Wintercastle Academy, and the warrior students had now become the backbone of the Empire's Otherworldly Exploration Department, and because of the previous reason that the whole world had suppressed the Otherworldly Chaos, many old acquaintances had gone further in strength.
She had a lot to say.
But in the end, it just became a bland sentence.
"Nothing is happening here."
Slowly landing from the ceiling, Number 3 replied with a smile, "I'm just waiting for you to come back." ”
"Ahh
Joshua van Radcliffe replied, though in a stiff tone that seemed a bit like a mechanical response, but he smiled and said, "I'm back." ”
