Two minutes later, Joshua and Nostradamus were standing in front of the test table, taking a closer look at the black snake that was dying in the nutrient solution.

The black snake was over seventeen meters long and was hovered inside a life support tank. For the Mycrof Continent, which has many monsters, seventeen meters long is not a huge size, but unlike the Warcraft Python in the ordinary sense, this black snake does not have scales, its skin seems to be craggy, but it is actually one, and those so-called 'scales' are magnified to see countless subtle primordial rune protrusions.

In addition, the black snake is different from the real snake in many details, such as the small shark-like fangs, the shape of the internal bones, etc., not so much a snake as a primitive 'marine primordial dragon', but these are not very related, so there is no need to explain everything.

"This technique is really crude."

Reaching into the nutrient solution with his right hand, Joshua grabbed the black python with one hand, he touched his chin, and said in confusion: "Who caught it?" Such a precious sample is actually beaten like this...... The dying organism loses energy from its body, and many things are not visible. ”

Scanning the black snake from head to tail, Joshua didn't find anything abnormal except for feeling a trace of the earth's divine power aura that he had observed before, no magic core, no transcendent organs, except for a relatively developed brain, this is just an ordinary alien giant python, the innate inscription on the epidermis has the effect of absorbing light and storing energy - and this itself is the biggest anomaly - a creature with divine power, even if it is a trace, it is definitely different from ordinary mortals, It could never be just such an ordinary Warcraft.

"These are those apprentices of yours, the group from Wintercastle's first squad."

Nostradamus replied nonchalantly, before Joshua came back, he had already studied this black snake many times, so he did not interfere at this time: "They found another path to the underground world, and happened to meet these black snakes, according to their words, this black snake lives in a group, has the power to control the two elements of earth and water, and the leading head snake also has an ability similar to a petrified magic eye, which can be regarded as a more tricky silver-level monster." ”

"In addition, they also said that this black snake tastes good, this living black snake was originally left to you by them, and they are going to dedicate it to you, the master."

"Really? He can use magic, and he has an eye, so he really can't keep his hands...... The cluster of silver monsters, it's really thanks to them that they can solve it. ”

Hearing this, Joshua was slightly stunned, he chuckled, and then put the black in his hand back into the nutrient solution: "It's really good that you can still think of me after the battle." ”

In this way, it can explain the anomaly: that faint trace of earth divine power is the reason why these black snakes can use the two magic of earth and water, the black snake dies, the divine power overflows, and the extraordinary power similar to the power granted by the power also dissipates, so it seems that there is no abnormality.

But it's still weird...... Why do these black snakes living underground have a trace of earth divine power to stay? They weren't unusually powerful beasts, they were just ordinary monsters with the characteristics of primordial dragons.

"That trace of earth divine power, I have carefully observed, it doesn't seem to be innate."

At this time, Nostradamus spoke, he walked to Joshua's side, looked down at the black snake that was soaked in the pale yellow nutrient solution, and the old mage said in a puzzled tone: "Joshua, do you know the theory of 'magic infection'? In my opinion, this should be a similar 'divine infection' incident. ”

"Yes." Joshua nodded, he understood what the old mage said, so he said a little abruptly: "You mean to say that they are not divine power creations, but just happen to live next to a divine power source?" ”

"Exactly." Nostradamus nodded slightly.

The theory of magical infection comes from the mages' research on the Black Forest, and they found that ordinary forests located around the Black Forest will be assimilated by the magic overflowing from the Black Forest after a period of time, which is the most typical phenomenon of infection, just as white water can be dyed with ink.

In addition, there are many simple examples: for example, if a wind-type demon wolf living on the plains moves to the Northlands, it will gradually become an ice-type ice wolf, due to the erosion and transformation of demonic beasts caused by the density of local elements.

To take another extreme example: the creatures around the Magic Crystal Vein, even the rats, may become 'moonlight rats' with spell-casting abilities and intelligence, and their powerful supernatural powers will involuntarily 'infect' or 'pollute' the surrounding life, making them have similar qualities to themselves.

Joshua knew a lot about this, because the ancient dragon is the best example of the theory of magical infection, just being can gradually change the properties of everything in an area, and the ancient dragon of the world of Chronos can even regenerate the world with its own power, so that the life of the entire world can become its bloodline descendant.

The magic is already like this, let alone the divine power? As long as there is a stable source of divine power similar to the magic crystal vein, then it is not surprising to create a group of black snakes that can control the flow of rock water, and give birth to a Titan......

……

Strange ...... Thing?

"Titans?" "Titans!"

Coincidentally, Joshua and Nostradamus said this word at the same time, and the two of them glanced at each other, and said in a deep voice in unison: "If there is really a remnant of the divine power of Mother Earth God underground, then it is impossible to have only these black snakes!" ”

"Recently, 'that' seal has been turbulent due to the Great Demon Tide, and the Mother Goddess is its direct descendant after all...... Absolutely no carelessness! ”

The rekindling of the flames of the Microf world is certainly a happy event for the whole world, but it also undoubtedly strengthens the steel python that is the will of the world, and it is more active at this time than in its previous life, and even has the spare energy to spread its voice to the outside world...... In other words, if it's just using those voices as a guise to actually have some kind of plan underneath, that's very likely!

And it just so happened that at this time, Joshua heard the first horn's rather nervous message.

As father and son in a sense, Joshua and the First Horn have a channel of steel power similar to that of the fire demon, which can spread all information in real time, regardless of time distance, and at this moment, the steel element is being cheered on by the dragon girl and decides to tell the warrior about his recent troubles.

"An inexplicable voice in my head?"

Just hearing this, Joshua felt an inexplicable crisis and nervousness, because he remembered the murmurs he had vaguely heard in Sequoia City that he couldn't find the source, maybe the first number had happened to him...... No, it should be said that Claris, the Foreman Python, and himself, in fact, all they heard was one voice!

It's just that because Karliss is the will of the world, and although the first horn is not strong enough, it is a pure steel element, so the voice he hears is clearer than himself.

"Fullmetal Python Microf...... What exactly is it going to do? ”

The black snake in the laboratory is irrelevant, this kind of black snake that should have lived underground since ancient times, and it should be the black snake of the ancestor of most of the sea origin dragons today has no value except for a good taste, Joshua and Nostradamus walked out of the laboratory at the same time and came to the outside of Wintercastle Academy, the warrior looked up at the sky above his head, and his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the void.

Spread information to other worlds in the multiverse, spread information to beings within the world who don't know what conditions are, and use divine power to infect biotransformation...... Steelpython McCroft is undoubtedly preparing to make a big news, if it weren't for Joshua's being the holder of the power of steel, one of his first number and many students like to dig holes, and one of them was lucky enough to encounter the black snake of divine power, then he might not be able to react to the dark tide surging behind him now.

"We have to think about countermeasures."

Joshua muttered to himself, suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and then nodded thoughtfully.

However, what the fighters did not expect was.

The voice that worried Cali the Metal Python didn't spread only in the nearby plane, as he had hoped...... It traveled far, far away, and the wails of the world, the sounds of curse and despair pierced through the void, the abyss, and into the depths of the unknowable multiverse.

- The Sixth Abyss, Valley of Tears Fortress.

In the center of the stronghold made of black iron, bone, sand, and obsidian, there was a lava-filled hall, a burning crimson throne standing between the tumbling magma, and rows of black hideous statues erected in two rows.

A disembodied figure, as if it were an illusory figure, a huge shadow of lava heat sat on the throne, its face propped up in one hand, as if in deep thought.

But then, as the space behind its throne fluctuated slightly, the huge phantom seemed to hear something and straightened up.

“…… Did you hear that? ”

It muttered in a low voice, as if communicating with something, but there was no other life in this lava room, only the ripples of space could be seen, and after a long silence, the huge phantom slowly shook its head, and then nodded: "They have awakened...... The Sixth Abyss should be sheltered for the time being. ”

"But if you have the chance......"

Then, there was a long silence, the ripples of the surrounding space gradually subsided, and the giant shadow still sat on its throne. It stared at the churning magma in front of it, as if it was stuck in a thought with no end in sight.

"World ......"

A sigh.

- Blood Moon Abyss, Blood Moon.

The scarlet viscous liquid piled up into an endless ocean, with waves from the inside out, the blood-colored ocean rippled, as if full of life, and at the same time, pure white light emitted from the deepest part of the blood-colored moon, revealing its purest light and heat to the surrounding shattered continent.

At the very core of the blood moon, a huge light cluster that seems to be the core of the planet is slowly shrinking and expanding, and it is precisely because of its actions that the large blood moon will churn and swell huge waves, and it can be faintly seen that there seems to be a human figure in this light cluster, and this human form is curled up in the light mass like a baby at this time, and it seems to be sleeping.

But suddenly, as if hearing something, the figure moved slightly, and it seemed to open its eyes and look around suspiciously...... Finally, He turned his head and looked at the side of the void.

There, there was a holy seal that was shining with pure white light, and the power of the holy light that separated the two worlds could not penetrate even the corrupt aura of the abyss, but it was from there that there came a sound that made the shape unable to sleep.

"Bah-ah-"

The giant light figure shook its head in confusion.

Once again, it fell into a deep sleep.

- The Abyss of Dragon's Sleep, the Sea of Poison.

Thousands of islands have been created with the power of three legendary dragon kings, each of whom can have a separate island for himself or his partner. In this world full of poisonous gas, life is not easy, but after all, everything is on track.

But in the center of all the empty islands, at the central three islands where the three dragon kings lived, suddenly a five-colored divine light descended, it divided into three stages, and entered the residence of the three dragon kings at the same time.

And just a few minutes later, there was a loud noise, and the light seemed to clash with the dragon kings.

The ordinary five-colored dragons felt incomparably palpitations, and they nested in their dragon's nest and kept silent, not daring to interfere with the conflicts of those great beings...... After a while, with a short angry snort, the five-colored light regathered, and then moved towards the void without looking back, and the empty island of the three dragon kings was crumbling, as if it was about to fall, but none of the dragon kings came forward, their breath was long, they were not injured, but as if they were thinking about something, they did not have time to deal with their abode.

"World ......"

Dragons could hear the indescribable sigh lingering over the abyss.

In the distant realms, indiscretable voices swept the stars, some heard, some didn't, some wanted to respond, but didn't have the strength, some had the strength, but they didn't have interest.

Chronos World, the Thunder Ancient Dragon hovered high in the sky, it looked down on the rapidly developing and thriving dragon society under the secret guidance of several McCroft World Observation Mages, the huge dragon pupils flashed with a satisfied light, it vaguely heard something, but the faint sound that flickered and disappeared could not attract it.

Even if it could hear it, nothing could make it leave this small world, leave the dragonman.

Farther away, the sound died away, and there was no more movement.

And at the same time as this sound spreads, the world of Mycrof, around the Ural Mountains, in the North Ural Plain, in the evening.

The two men stood high above the plain, the wind howling, and the air currents that made the goshawks wail also hit their clothes, causing the corners of their clothes to hunt, and the light of the setting sun gradually dimmed, and finally sank into the horizon.

"Joshua, do you really know what you're doing?"

One of them, a middle-aged man who appeared to be a mage, seemed to be trying to persuade another dark-haired man, his brow furrowed and his eyes deeply worried, this mage holding a large inconspicuous black-sealed book with a magical light lingering around him.

"Of course I do, Nostradamus."

And the man who was questioned, the black-haired warrior, had nothing in his hands. Starlight appeared behind him, Joshua looked down at the North Ural Plain below, he saw the wind elemental whistling in the low sky, saw the hot and humid air in the south blocked by the mountains, and saw that the magic of the whole world was like clouds in the sky and rain falling, alternating under the action of some great force, achieving the special environment and ecology of the Northland.

Every corner of this world is unique, even if it seems to be the same plains and swamps, the magic in their air is never the same, and the creatures and plants that live in them are never the same - but the wonder of nature lies in this, the world transforms life, and life transforms the world, and in this huge plain there are countless nests of creatures, their existence changes the direction of nature's magic, and becomes a nest suitable for their survival, making the Northland a region similar to other cold regions, but completely different in nature.

Everything is unique.

So.

- The world no longer needs a will to dominate all things.

With his back to the starry sky, Joshua looked down on the earth with indifferent red eyes, and from the moment he came here a few hours ago to release his coercion with all his might, all the wild animals in the entire Northern Ural Plain, the demonic beasts, and even the primordial dragons lurking underground, hurriedly fled from their lair, they trembled and ran towards the border of the steppe, and then under the suppression and guidance of the students of Winterburg who had been prepared for a long time, they collectively went to the temporary gathering place not far away.

He knew that there were no animals left on the land, and that the once vibrant grassland had become only green vegetation.

- It's time to make a move.

High in the air, the warrior moved, originally like a sculpture, Joshua, who was standing above the clouds with his hands, stretched out his right hand, aimed at the earth, and in the helpless eyes of Nostradamus on his side, he slowly released his restraints on his body, and even in turn, continued to strengthen this power.

Suddenly, the originally gentle sky began to change, the wind no longer flowed with the air pressure, the clouds no longer followed the wind, and the sky above the northern land began to appear out of thin air, like a sea tide, the naked eye visible distorted air flow vortex, countless elements, air, and clouds began to converge and compress around Joshua, and finally turned into a part of the silver brilliance that slowly emerged on the surface of the warrior's body.

The brilliance of steel shimmers.

In the sky, the distortion was rapidly expanding, it began to spread from high in the sky, and then it touched the ground—and at that moment, with a low rumbling sound, it was as if a great earthquake had occurred in the North Ural Plain, the ground shattered and cracked, the rocks shattered and uplifted, and countless dust and gravel shook rapidly on the ground, and finally slowly floated as if it had lost its gravity...... Grass and trees fluttered, low shrubs pulled out their roots, and the slow-flowing river flew into the sky like a waterfall, and it collapsed into countless balls of water, large and small, which were then reflected in the light of the stars with a silvery light.

"Oh my God...... What kind of power is this......"

"The earth's crust has been turned over—behold, the whole rock layer is broken!"

"Light ...... The light is distorted! ”

On the ground, countless adventurers and students who were watching this scene let out an uncontrollable exclamation, they saw the earth rain down towards the sky, they saw the clouds turn into vortex spirals, devouring everything, they saw that the coherent rock layers under the soil broke under the inexplicable force, but the broken part did not stop in place, but slowly moved towards the sky, towards the location where Joshua was.

They also saw that the bright light of the stars and moon had already distorted faintly before it even touched their lord, their abbot, and at Joshua's side, the light no longer traveled in a straight line, but in a subtle arc, forming a strange circle of light behind him.

For the first time, a warrior exerted his full strength in the main material world, causing the entire heaven and earth to shake.

Joshua was surrounded by a silver-white mist, this was the first time he had driven the power of steel with all his might in human form, and he watched as the earth of the North Ural Plain was peeled away layer by layer in front of him, like an onion, the thick layer of soil disappeared wildly at a speed of tens of meters per second, flying into the sky, and then being swallowed by his own steel power.

Joshua exhaled, and then, with a wave of his outstretched right hand, and suddenly, with the extreme mass fluctuations, the entire plain cracked along the wave of his hand from top to bottom, and the earth, rocks, and rivers were cut like puddings, and the earth sank under the power of legend, and finally cracked into a deep valley.

The breath of antiquity spreads from the rifts in the valley.

"It's not necessary!" On one side, Nostradamus, who couldn't stop the warriors, couldn't help but open his mouth to stop: "We can go deep into the ground - there's no need to make it so big!" ”

"It's necessary."

Joshua didn't heed his friend's complaints, his tone was calm, but uncomprehensible: "We are creatures that dwell on the earth, and the underground is not our home field, and it has a thousand ways to hinder our exploration, just like the Syndicate's shielded spirit scanning. ”

As he spoke, the warrior stretched out his hands, and he made a motion as if he were pushing open the gate, and suddenly, the originally narrow valley began to expand in the collapse, countless rocks and gravel rolled and flew towards the sky, and the entire plain seemed to be torn in half by a giant, with a huge wound in the center.

But what was shocking was that such a terrifying geological change did not affect anyone around it, everything seemed to take place in a separate space, and even the academy and adventurers who were watching not far away did not feel any tremors.

High in the air, countless rocks, clouds, and gravel swirled along the whirlpool, the silver steel power cloud was like a nebula, and Joshua was in the center of the vortex, he withdrew his hands, watching the results of his full effort.

It was a deep rift valley that went deep into the earth, leading to a massive cavity thousands of meters underground, from which countless clouds of dust and gravel rose like columns of smoke.

"Since they're hiding underground."

In a calm tone, the warrior said, "Then I'll turn this place upside down." ”
