Chapter 4 Possible Answers

Although it seems like a simple transfiguration, the meaning behind it is not.

Transforming an object into another has been studied by countless powerful mages and sages in ancient times - it is actually the origin and ultimate pursuit of alchemy, the transformation of 'all things' into 'gold', and its highest achievement is the 'Philosopher's Stone' that can make gold and immortal elixirs and make people immortal.

Not long ago, Helm burned his soul with his body, accelerating his particles to the extreme to hit Joshua's body, and it was just simulating the environment of a supernova explosion, creating a large number of heavy elements including gold, and this transformation technique can turn stone into a white dove, and naturally it can also turn a white dove into stone, since this step has been achieved, it is not surprising that even if the stone is converted into gold.

It seems to be ordinary, but in fact it is close to the truth, the ultimate of alchemy is between this small 'transformation' and 'transformation', ordinary people may not be able to understand this extraordinary, but the legends know deep that this is an anomaly far superior to the invasion of the abyss.

Moreover, what is happening now is far from being as simple as a 'transformation' spell.

In the skies above the Great Ajax Mountains, in the floatboats of Barnier and William, whether it was Joshua who contacted Nostradamus or Barbarossa who contacted the major mage organizations of the Eastern Plains, the two sides who wanted to seek more information once again unexpectedly got a lot of news that they didn't know if it was good or bad.

In the corner of the ordinary mountain village, in the small town that no one knows, all kinds of strange things happen in the eyes of the mage—there are teenagers who can sneak into the shadows and shuttle between the shadows, there are children who can fly in the sky and be unrestrained, girls can summon strange beasts to accompany them with their spirits, and middle-aged people who are usually silent can be transformed into supermen with infinite strength...... The earliest date dates back to May 21, 837, and since that date, the first known anomaly has occurred.

However, these things did not cause any waves.

Because they are nothing to the average citizen.

In the eyes of many ordinary people who live in the world of McCrove and often come into contact with mages and knights, these extraordinary things are part of magic, even if all mages feel that this is not magic at all, plus because of the great demon tide, many people have long been accustomed to the fact that so-and-so who is usually familiar can suddenly obtain extraordinary extraordinary power one day, and in the eyes of legendary mages, it is an unbelievable thing, for them, it is just a daily life that can be seen everywhere in life.

"Diving into the shadows? It's not a fairy tale, how can the shadows sneak in? Diving into subspace is pretty much the same, but how can a small child have that kind of power? ”

"Flying without any principle? Just fly naturally? ”

"Summoning a strange beast out of thin air...... How do these substances come from? How did it disappear? ”

Every question is enough to make Barnier and William scratch their heads, every event can make Barbarossa frown, in the face of these seemingly ordinary, but actually challenging the ordinary outburst of extraordinary power, the legendary mages feel an inexplicable fear - the so-called original fear is the unknown, they originally thought they knew enough, but now, Barbarossa They feel the long-lost unknown from these things.

But fear is not a bad thing.

Mages are creatures that follow their curiosity. They explore behind the mountains, beyond the sea, and they gaze at the other side of the stars, looking for truth and power...... The more fearful I am, the more curious I become, and it is precisely because I don't know why that I have to try and recognize.

In the midst of this mutation that may have swept the multiverse, Joshua was also lost in thought. Unlike the three legendary mages, the warrior did not understand magic, so he could not use magic methods to analyze and solve these things, but as the holder of extraordinary power, the strength and vision reached this point in him, and the difference between magic and life force was already invisible.

In Joshua's opinion, these things were not isolated, nor were they completely unbelievable, and he had seen this kind of power beyond the scope of ordinary magical explanations, so even if Joshua would be shocked, he would not feel extremely unbelievable like the others.

Remembering back to the past, the warrior couldn't help but think of someone...... Yes, once again he thought of the sages.

Joshua remembered the memories of the sages he had seen a long time ago, he remembered the sages' childhood when they were feared by his parents, and the sages' ability to revive the dead and bring life back to life—because of these strange times now, the warrior's mind was filled with the gray-haired and flawless boy who seemed to represent 'perfection' in itself, and his 'miracle' that could easily recall the soul and awaken the corpse.

"It's just as incredible, it's just as unreasonable...... What may be the connection between the two? ”

Joshua actually knew that the power held by the sages was very likely to be given by the Metal Python, and the powerful authority related to the 'life force' was not the same as the various changes that were currently unfolding, but who knew if the anomalies that were happening now could be the overflowing authority of other powerful beings?

The shards of steel given by the world have this kind of power, those shards that Joshua threw to Xiaoguang, one can rebuke wind, fire, thunder and lightning, call for rain and frost, and all phenomena in nature can be reproduced at will, one can awaken matter, give life, and create steel elements like 'First Trumpet', and another can control psionic energy, peep into people's hearts, and play with the will of others.

For mages, these powers are also very incredible, although they are more or less in line with the common sense of the McCrove world and can be explained by magic, but who can say that the common sense of the McCrove world is the common sense of the multiverse, and the magic of Mrs. McCro can explain the multiverse? Joshua thinks that instead of having no clue about the anomalies that happen for some reason, it is better to start with the known authority of the 'Fragments of Steel'.

"That's a good idea, too."

Joshua thought about it and did it, he told the three legendary mages in front of him about some of his guesses and the sage's past abilities, and Barnier pondered for a moment, nodded and agreed: "To be honest, whether it is transforming or diving into the subspace, it is not actually a 'miracle' that magic can't do, it's just that it is not powerful mages who use them, but young children and children who have never been exposed to magic, only this we can't understand." ”

"Yes, this situation is indeed somewhat similar to what you call 'empowerment......"

William and Barbarossa had just been discussing the need to spread the news throughout the Eastern Plains, and now he turned his head and agreed: "Authority, it is nothing more than some powerful being making a weapon, and the person who gets the authority doesn't need to think about how to make a weapon, just activate it, and then use it—the more you think about it, the more similar it becomes, it's almost indistinguishable!" ”

"The only question is where all this 'authority', or 'shards of steel', comes from."

Barbarossa chuckled, the tall hairless mage was usually very serious in front of his students, maintaining his majesty as the chief mage, but when Barnier and William, who were in the same era and even ventured together, were with William, he didn't bother to keep his face popping. The elemental master smiled and guessed, "Maybe some worlds have exploded, and fragments are spread across the multiverse with the magic tide?" Haha, so many different authorities, God knows how many...... How many...... The world is ruined...... Extinguished ......"

“……”

“……”

The voice became smaller and smaller, the tone became more and more solemn, Joshua narrowed his eyes, several legends looked at each other, and in just a moment, silence fell in the entire floating boat experimental cabin.

Thinking far faster than words, and within ten seconds of the warrior suggesting that the current situation was likely to be something similar to the 'Empowerment Grant', the three legendary mages guessed all sorts of principles and possibilities in their conversations and jokes, and along with them, they came up with an answer that made the legend uneasy.

"Is it possible?"

After a moment of silence, Barbarossa turned to look at Joshua, and asked the warrior who was most familiar with the power of steel and authority among those present, "I'm just guessing casually...... Is it possible that this is really the case? ”

William and Barnier also looked at Joshua, their expressions were equally solemn, and in the face of the gaze of the three legendary mages, Joshua exhaled, and then said in a deep voice, "I can't be sure...... But. ”

There was no possibility of agreeing with this matter, and there was no complete denial of Barbarossa's speculation, Joshua seemed to be thinking about the words - the guess of the elemental controller was like a thunderclap, and it instantly woke up Joshua who was in a non-caring mentality, and he immediately understood that he had been in this world for too long, and had been in this environment for too long, so that he had ignored a very terrible fact...... This matter,Countless players in the previous life were discussing,But the game official has never given an obvious answer,Millions of people feel that this is just a setting,A tide of the times that will inevitably come with the growth of many players,But ...... What is the truth behind it?

"But, everybody......"

After a long time, with a sigh, Joshua clasped his hands in front of his chest, he looked up, looking into the void, the warrior's eyes seemed to reproduce the path of light that ran through half of the multiverse, he paused, and then continued to say in a low and clear voice: "Who of you knows, what is the 'Great Demon Tide' all about? ”

"Why is it happening? What is the rationale behind it? What does it come from, what does it cause, and what does it end up forming? ”

"In other words...... Who knows where and why this mighty tide of energy that has swept the multiverse has come from? ”

No one answered the question, but everyone understood what Joshua meant, and Barbarossa, Barnier, and William all raised their heads and looked into the void, their gazes piercing the world as if to cross the endless tide of energy, to where they came from, to the center of the multiverse.

Darkness enveloped everything, even the light of the demon tide was only slightly covered with a silvery veil, and between the shadows that spanned all known sights, there was a faint flicker of light, it was the starlight, the light of the world.

And no one knows what happened to them behind the shadows and darkness.

In the end, what became.
