[Fire burns chaos, forged into steel, steel gives birth to all things, there is life and death, life and death rust, ashes and void, chaos and condensation, fire is born from ashes, and the cycle is endless]

The flaming warrior stood on a dusty and gravel ground, the sparks in his armor scattered behind him with the wind, the messy strands of hair brushing over Joshua's face, and a hand wrapped in steel swept it away. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the scarred armor, light and dust rose, and the earth beneath his feet became frivolous under the unbalanced gravity, and the wind swept between the mountains, bringing a whistling voice, and Joshua's eyes were slightly open, and his face was calm, as if he was listening intently, listening to the praise that had come from the ancient times.

[Originated from fire, born from steel, soul is firewood, as a salary, wisdom is immortal, order is eternal, inheritance and reciprocation, until now]

The praise, with the enthusiasm that has been full of human beings since their birth, and the precipitation of the wisdom of the sages of the past generations, the mark brought by the Azure Orb is extremely hot on the forehead, and thousands of echoes overlap, converging into one sentence.

【Rekindle the Flame】

The red eyes opened, and Joshua scanned the surroundings, the gray earth, the black clouds, and the white cold wind that swirled between the mountains and hills, the three colors appeared in front of his eyes, this black and white painting-like scenery, made the already barren world of Karlis seem even more desperate.

Lightning swept through layers of cumulus clouds, mountains and the earth, disintegrating under the chaotic force of gravity, and the smoke of dust drifted through the sky with the wind, allowing chaos to spill around every corner.

"Master!"

A clear voice sounded behind the warrior.

Joshua looked back, the black-haired and golden-eyed god boy came running from not far away, and after a rush, Rin stood beside the warrior and grabbed Joshua's arm, he looked at the vertical and horizontal cracks on his master's body, and the flickering fire in it, and his worried expression was overflowing.

“…… Rin, ready to fight. ”

This was not the time to explain where he was going, and without further ado, Joshua patted Rin on the head, believing that his weapon would understand him.

"Yes!"

As a weapon, there is no need to ask anything, since the master needs it, then respond to his call, Rin simply held the warrior's left hand, the black tattoo on the back of the two of them shone with the brilliance of magic, and in the dazzling flash, the black axe was clenched by Joshua.

A powerful force penetrated the divine machine in an instant, and on the black axe, traces of flames and ashes also appeared, wielding his weapon, bringing out a piercing whistling sound in the air, Joshua felt the fire on his forehead that was fused in his body by the steel python, and the azure orb burned the soul he had accumulated from previous killings, releasing a powerful power.

"What kind of power is this?"

Even in his previous life, Joshua had never had such an experience, and the huge power obtained from killing the Extreme Intention Aragami was slowly being consumed, he asked the silent Steel Python in his heart, and at the same time looked sideways at the three huge monsters that were constantly flying in the distance, his heart was burning like fire, and he was calm like steel.

"The power to give all things existence."

The deep voice of the Steel Python sounded in the depths of Joshua's heart: "Protect the world, resist Chaos, the power of the Soul Burning King." ”

"The King of Soul Burners?"

"You're not, your stored soul is still too little. But maybe one day, you'll get to that point. So, I bless you with my power and let you experience this power in advance......"

"This may be the last thing I can do for the world."

After finishing slowly, the voice of the steel python gradually deepened, and then disappeared completely, as if it fell into a complete silence.

"Guardian ...... Strength. ”

Repeating the words of the Steel Python, Joshua spat out these words.

Guardianship, to him, was a strange word.

Originally, for Joshua, a person who can't even protect himself has no meaning of existence at all, and a person's life is a life of constantly fighting with himself and countless hardships and obstacles, and no one can let others fight instead of him.

Moreover, no matter how much you guard, it is not as simple as directly destroying the enemy.

But now, he's starting to understand a little.

Even in a world where everything is lost to chaos and life and civilization are extinct together, there are still remnants of flames remaining.

The AI-controlled mobile city has long been scarred, but it is still stubbornly driving in this near-extinguished world according to the instructions of its owner thousands of years ago, looking for traces of hope.

Guardianship is not a meaning, but a responsibility, a kind of persistence.

"Civilization is not a separate existence, and the world is not a paradise for one person."

Muttering thoughtfully, Joshua seemed to remember a long time ago, before he had not crossed over.

The Ruins of Ashes, Naya Fortress, the warrior and his comrades, together intercepted the invasion of the Chaos Demons, and in the countless meteorite attacks that fell from the sky, they fought with their swords wantonly, unleashing the pleasure in their hearts...... Maybe they don't think so, but that's part of the guarding.

Because I don't know whose betrayal it was, Joshua failed in his previous life, and he was reborn into this world without seeing the final ending.

But in this life, he will not fail.

"If it is said that the world of Mycrof is going to fall into chaos, it is the so-called fate."

Joshua's deep voice overshadowed the long wind: "Then, when such a fate faces me, it is no longer fate. ”

In the face of those who want to change it, fate is never fate.

That's why I crossed over?

As soon as he finished speaking, such a question flashed through Joshua's mind, but then, he shook his head.

"Make no mistake."

I just think that whether it's an evil god or a chaotic god, they are a good enemy.

The sky was dark, the sun was gone, and the frozen earth was shattered, shattered and invisible under the chaotic gravity.

Standing on the little remaining preserved land, Joshua looked at the sky, the wind blowing through his body, causing the scattered sparks to drift with the wind, and he exhaled, and the white steam rose up, turning into ice crystals, and dissipating into the air.

The three-headed Extreme Intention Aragami was flying rapidly from afar, their huge bodies rubbing against the air, producing a red light and impact, and their bodies were surrounded by translucent ripples like water fluctuations, shattering and pushing away the scattered rocks and peaks, and the target was Joshua, who was as dazzling as the sun in their eyes, and exuded the brilliance of order all over their bodies.

Slowly raising the big axe in his hand, the black killing intent fluctuated, and the flames that were originally just sparks began to burn, covering the armor and licking, licking, and squeezing Joshua's body.

Looking at the roaring monsters, Joshua grinned.

Fighting doom and apocalypse?

I like it.
