Volume XXII The Lord of the Sky

A huge black crack suddenly appeared in the cyan sky, and a huge black dragon, dozens of meters long, rushed out of the crack that seemed to be a wound - because of the fierce wind surging in mid-air with a rapid surge of nearly a thousand meters per second, the black dragon could not grasp the balance of his body at all, and after struggling for a moment, he could only give up flying and fall straight down.

"The hosts! I really can't help it! ”

In mid-air, Black was still shouting in panic, but the warrior did not respond, he scanned the surrounding columns of wind and tornadoes in a tenth of a second, and noticed the majestic ancient floating city suspended in mid-air below him. After calculating, the next moment he smacked on his heels, and the black dragon suddenly felt an incomparable force burst from the top of his head, and then rushed to his limbs and wings, and the next moment, she felt that her body was no longer her own, and her hands and feet contracted in mid-air without authorization, her tail coiled up, and she became a ball, and a layer of silver light shrouded the surface of her body.

At this time, the black was like a silver-black meteorite, breaking through the high wind and black tornado in a straight line, and then breaking through the shield on the surface of the floating city, and finally speeding into the floating city.

And just when the meteorite turned into by the black dragon shattered the shield and was about to crash directly into the square in the center of the floating city, Joshua jumped from the black head neatly with the steel suitcase containing the No. 3 body. Although he didn't make any acceleration movements, he descended faster than the huge black dragon, and after an instant, with a violent crash roar, the warrior could be seen standing steadily on the square where the smoke rose.

Without the slightest hesitation, in the next moment, he stretched out his left hand and raised it above his head - the black dragon saw that he was about to crash into his master's body, and he originally planned to change direction, but the huge force left in her body stopped her behavior, so that she could only follow her original trajectory and press towards Joshua.

- It's over, it's over, and I'm going to be scolded again if I really bump into it! I don't know how much homework will be added!

Just when Hei closed her eyes, held her breath, and desperately prepared for the impact, she suddenly found that her body suddenly became lighter and smaller, and then the back of her neck was pinched by a wide palm - the black dragon girl opened her eyes in surprise, and was stunned to find that she had actually changed from a dragon form to a human form, and Joshua was carrying a box in one hand and the back of her neck in the other, standing steadily on the square of this ancient ruin city.

"This mist of doom is a bit peculiar."

Joshua let go of his hand, letting the black dragon girl who was still stunned and still maintaining the shape of 'hugging a ball' fall to the ground, he glanced around, and said seriously: "I have never seen such a vision...... Strange, is it a fantasy? ”

At the same time, the projection of No. 3 also resurfaced, appearing beside Joshua, she frowned, and said softly, "Here...... Where is it? The style of this building feels a little familiar......"

"It's the dream of a god who has died."

Joshua replied, he could already see that he had landed in the square of the ancient ruins of the city. Around the square, countless strange and exquisite buildings, facilities, and their wreckage worked in the light released by the runes, and Joshua stared at them, he pondered for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "No, it's not like Sinur's timeβ€”it's not a dream, it's reality!" It's amazing, this unknown god deserves to be the first level of the main god! ”

"Reality?" Hearing Joshua's straightforward admiration, No. 3, who was originally frowning, suddenly turned her head in surprise, she looked at the warrior, blinked, and said in confusion: "But before us, it was obvious that we just rushed into that mist!" ”

Just ten seconds ago, they were still in the mountains around the Bolin Fortress in the northeast of the Northern Empire, staring at the churning pale sea of fog in the valley, but they really didn't expect that ten seconds later, they would come to a completely different environment from before.

"It's kind of hard to explain."

This incident may be shocking to others, but for Joshua, who shuttles the world from time to time, it is nothing, and it has even become a habit. Joshua took a few steps forward, he sifted through a few of the debris scattered in the square and picked them up, then looked at them carefully, and shook them in his hand: "But you should understand." ”

The warrior opened his hand, and the stone chips that had turned into powder suddenly scattered from his hand, and Joshua raised his head to look at the ruins of the huge city, which was almost entirely composed of minarets and gears: "Number 3, you should know that humans use their brains to process information from the outside world. Whether it's sight, touch, smell, hearing or taste, it's the body's nerves that feed back to the brain. ”

"In other words, as long as there is a way to stimulate specific nerves in the brain to make you 'smell' flowers, then you will smell flowers even if you don't have half a flower in reality."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ But according to you......"

This is naturally very understandable, No. 3 nodded, but she still looked around hesitantly, while Joshua nodded seriously: "What you see is the illusion imposed on you by the Divine Mist of Doom, not only the brain, but even the No. 3 you who only have a soul are affected, which is enough to prove the wisdom of this illusion." ”

"However, it is not an illusion in nature. That's why I was so impressed. ”

Without a pause, Joshua began to walk towards the edge of the square, an avenue that led to a huge tower in the center of the city, while Number 3 and Black, who still looked a little embarrassed, followed behind the warriors. Joshua calmly and patiently explained to the two of them: "The illusion is completely false, but this city in the mist of divine misfortune is partly real - it itself is a huge blueprint made of divine power, as long as the materials and energy are enough to reproduce this illusion, then it will immediately turn false into reality!" ”

This is the technique that Joshua has admired before. This currently unknown ancient god has kept all the information of a city in his soul, and the information of every brick and stone, every material particle and magic element in every rune is clearly remembered, and even the position has not shifted in the slightest - in other words, as long as this god mist is given enough raw materials and energy, then it can directly replicate this majestic and magnificent sky city in the real world like a 3D printer accurate to the molecular level!

But now, he is gone, and only his own imprint remains in the mists of doom, waiting for the arrival of his successor.

"Because it's not a dream, this mist of divine misfortune doesn't give me a trial, and according to my senses, as long as I go to the central tower, I can directly touch the remaining mark."

Joshua walked slowly on the avenue, he didn't seem to be in a hurry to go to the place where the gods carved the seal, to find out how the gods could exercise their souls, because this method of solidifying all the information of a city in the soul with divine power is really incredible, and this burden is equivalent to running in the sea with several mountains in muscular terms, and ordinary legendary powerhouses may not be able to do this kind of thing.

It's a god. Joshua was so emotional.

Behind the warrior, after hearing Joshua's previous words, No. 3 and Hei shook their heads violently in unison.

No, it's not without trials.

The two of them recalled this, and they couldn't help but flash a trace of fear in their hearts - the black dragon that fell from the sky, after the air turbulence in the high heavens, the huge tornado between the sea and the sky, and also smashed the protective cover that protected the floating city, and finally penetrated the last layer of rune shields, this can fall safely and steadily on the square in the center of the city, isn't this a trial? No matter how you think about it, it's already very dangerous, if it's only black, I'm afraid it would have already fallen into a ball of dragon flesh!

You must know that most people will feel tricky and useless in the face of a lot of natural disasters and barriers, but such a severe test is not a test at all in the eyes of Joshua, who can break through all of them with a wave of his hand.

Not paying attention to the thoughts of the two girls behind him, Joshua had already arrived at the foot of the tower in the middle of the huge city.

It is a strange tower with a rice-shaped base, it is a regular hexagonal prism with a base, but it gets smaller and smaller the higher it goes, like a huge hexagonal spike. This prismatic tower has a simple and elegant structure, with a simple beauty, it is pale gold, the tower is inlaid with many light blue gem crystals, and from time to time there are many translucent arcane runes flashing around it, from which the howl of the wind is heard.

"This tower...... Why is there no door? ”

After Joshua stopped, Hei looked around, scratched her head a little strangely, she turned her head to look around again, found something, and then looked at the warrior in confusion: "Master, master, look, there are no doors in the surrounding buildings!" But their windows are huge......"

"Maybe it's because of the race that lives here, they don't need such a thing."

Without waiting for Joshua to answer, Number 3 nodded thoughtfully, and the black wings behind her swayed, allowing a little magic light to fall: "For example, if you have wings, you really don't need a door much." ”

"I've almost guessed who the owner of this mist is, such a strange urban structure, with countless towering minarets...... There is only that one. ”

Nodding in approval of No. 3's statement, Joshua carried the box and looked up at the top of the tower, and then, he stretched out his left hand, signaling No. 3 to temporarily cancel the projection, and at the same time, let the black catch it, and the black dragon girl was slightly stunned, then stretched out her hand and pressed it into the warrior's palm. The next moment, Joshua clenched his left hand, and then the soles of his feet shook slightly, and suddenly the whole person flew towards the top of the tower like a rocket, in a cloud of smoke that rose violently!

"Wow, ah, ah, ah, slow down, master!!"

Unlike No. 3, who had retracted into the body of the box and was leisurely and calm, Hei, who was originally a little afraid of heights and had finally overcome it, almost didn't cry out, and her whole person was about to faint, and she could only be dragged by Joshua like a corpse in mid-air and rise rapidly.

"You're a dragon! How can a dragon say slow! ”

Joshua shook his head in hatred - of course he would not reduce his speed, and the warrior just rose in a straight line for nearly a few kilometers in a matter of seconds.

He came to the top of the tower.

Before coming to the top of the tower, Joshua didn't actually have the slightest sense of danger in his heart, because the ruins of this ancient city in the mist of divine misfortune were too quiet, even with his hearing, he didn't hear the slightest sound of life, and the whole world didn't make any sound except for those huge black tornadoes that were moving slowly. Although Joshua knew that there would never be a safe mist of divine misfortune in this world, the overly relaxed environment still made him feel a little too relaxed.

But after all, he was a warrior and always maintained a minimum of vigilance, so when Joshua came to the top of the tower, he immediately felt a tense body, and a huge sense of threat surged madly into his heart, causing the warrior to subconsciously shake his body, revealing a translucent iron giant phantom behind him.

"It'sβ€”what's going on!"

In just an instant, the heavens and the earth changed drastically, the originally blue sky suddenly turned pitch black, and the blue sea also turned red, and countless bubbles exploded on the surface of the sea, releasing black smoke. Among the black tornadoes in the sea and sky, there were deep purple thunderbolts flashing, releasing a dim light.

The hellish sky, the whirlpool of dark black clouds surging in the sky, the purple thunder flickered, the cold and vicious aura spread, the howling cold wind blew across the sea, making the boiling sea surface freeze, and the huge floating city in mid-air began to slowly fall towards the sea, and the violent weightlessness was applied to everyone's body.

In the midst of this sudden upheaval, Joshua frowned and looked down at the ancient ruins of the city in the mist of God's Doom, and he saw that all the old and dilapidated ruins had become brand new, but they were still dilapidated. They went back to the scene when they were destroyed, and every piece of masonry that had been destroyed seemed to have been destroyed by a great force just now, and the battle had only ended for a few seconds.

As if Joshua had touched a switch, the illusion in the mist of the gods had undergone a drastic change, and everything seemed to have returned to the end of the bitter battle that brought the gods down more than a thousand years ago. The sky rolls and roars, the sea swells and roars, and the floating giant city slowly falls towards the sea, like a mountain peak toppling, about to set off thousands of waves.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

In silence, Joshua raised his head, and he looked at the top of the central tower in front of him. But unlike before, at the top of the originally empty tower, the back of a 'human' appeared, this being turned his back to Joshua, he looked up at the whirlpool rolling in the sky, and there was no sign of turning back.

This being has two wings on its back, and its pure white wings are smooth and wide, exuding a faint warm golden light, and anyone can see that it is extraordinary and powerful. He was dressed in a wide robe, a simple but not simple robe painted with a pair of 'wings' like a pair of 'wings' coats of arms, and the robes and coats of arms fluttered in the wind, flying with the white feathers on the huge wings, as if they were the embodiment of the sky and the wind.

But in the center of such wings, there was a huge charred black hole, and an evil and cold aura came from the wound and spread all over the body of this being.

"I see, your identity."

Carrying Hei, who was already on the verge of fainting and didn't dare to say a word at all, stood beside him and slowly emerged, with a small face as No. 3, Joshua stared at this winged being with his back to him. The warrior nodded slightly, as a salute, and then said the other party's real name in a solemn manner: "TRUE GOD, LORD OF THE SKY, MASTER OF THE WINDβ€”YOUR MAJESTY GALE." ”

As the true name of the god was called, the being standing at the top of the central tower that floated into the air finally moved, and he slowly turned around and faced Joshua face to face in silence.

And the warrior, who had always been calm and would not be shocked by anything, couldn't help but open his eyes wide, because what unfolded before his eyes was a nightmare that no one could imagine.

Lord of the Skies of the Glorious Age, God of the Storm, Master of the Firmament and the Tempest, Ger's face does not have the slightest honor of God, and his back may still have some majesty that belongs to the Lord and the God, but his front-

Only nightmarish chaos.

Face, chest, abdomen, legs...... The front of the god had completely vanished, leaving only an uncertain black distorted chaos, which the craziest artist could not scribble with the most filthy brush, the most realistic display of the indescribable, a cloud of foggy, strange light flickering inside this distorted black chaos, as if something wanted to break out of this chaos and come to reality.

- At the end of the Age of Glory, the Gate of the Abyss was opened, and the gods and sages fought alongside the ancient evil and the evil gods of chaos. After thousands of bitter battles, the gods have fallen innumerably, and their remnant souls remain in the Boundless Heavens, waiting for the demon tide to descend and revive the seal, and reappear its legacy.

This is the truth of the mist of divine misfortune, and Joshua has only now deeply understood the consequences of directly fighting the 'evil gods', and for the first time, he has also felt respect for the gods of the previous era, who faced many evil gods for his race and civilization, and defeated them.

Is that chaotic distortion terrible, disgusting? Indeed, it is very shocking. But it was not an unbearable wound, but a testament to the scars and glory of the fallen gods, who had made them successful in protecting the world.

Joshua bowed deeply to the terrible and strange face of the god, and after a few seconds, a hoarse and low voice sounded out of nowhere, reaching the warrior's ears.

"My kindred...... My compatriots...... My descendants...... A visitor from my hometown. ”

Joshua raised his head, he looked at the god of the sky, Kel, the god with huge wings was still holding his hands, his face was eroded by the distorted chaos, he couldn't tell which direction he was talking to, and the hoarse voice seemed to be a divine power transmitted directly to his heart, but the warrior knew that the other party was not speaking to him.

Joshua turned her head and looked at the girl with long pale blue hair on her side, No. 3's eyes grew in shock at this time, and the black wings behind her froze and couldn't move up and down, as if she was locked by some great force.

"Could it be...... Are you talking to me? The AI girl tilted her head slightly, she whispered in an almost trembling tone, while Joshua nodded solemnly.

They all have wings, who else can there be?
