Starfall 841, February 17, northern Helgamoth Empire.

Ten days have passed since the light of the emperor Israelden shone on the world, and after a week-long grand celebration and unknown political consultations behind it, with the assistance of two legendary powerhouses, the second prince Dimore temporarily assumed part of the emperor's rights and positions, and the remaining part was handed over to the powerful faction of the court dominated by the queen.

Obviously, the contradiction between the second prince and the queen is very large, and it has not been alleviated much until now, but at such an important juncture, both sides know that intrigue is meaningless, although Dimore is regarded as the heir by default, but there are other princes and princesses who have the right to inherit, especially the eldest prince, although he seems to be unknown on weekdays, but he has rich wings, whether it is in the major nobles or the army, he has deep roots, in order to fight against his brothers and sisters, Di Moore does need the political strength brought by the queen's line.

A person with extreme intentions naturally can't be the lord of the entire Northern Empire, and he may have to be criticized before Dimore achieves the legend, but these are just small things, because as long as the two legendary powerhouses are present and show their support for Dimore, then no one in the entire empire dares to 'question'.

What's more, the emperor of the empire, Israel Dellmond, is not like the previous emperors, who had to abdicate because of his death or regression in strength - on the contrary, Israel is only because he has become too strong, so that the position of emperor is no longer worthy of him.

As long as that person is still conceived in the cocoon of divine power in the boundless heavenly realm, the sublimated existence does not die, and everything will not deviate from the trajectory of order.

At this time, except for the Three Mountains Holy City, which was the political center, was a little anxious because of the emperor's ascension to the gods, the civilians in the other provinces of the empire, and even all the believers of the 'God of Power and Justice' in the world, felt extremely happy - the former was freed from almost ubiquitous exploitation because of Israel's Skynet system, and the Great Celebration also exempted the peasants from almost all taxes this year, while the latter sensed that it belonged to the God of Power and Justice alone. The 'Mighty Magic' is gradually returning, and while its reaction is a little different than before, at least, their strength is gradually improving.

Of course, good people can be happy, and so can bad people.

Because of Israel's temporary departure, all kinds of underworld forces that had been intimidated by him for three or four years and didn't dare to take a breath gradually showed signs of resurgence - because time did not pass too long, let alone last a generation, so when these wicked people found that they were doing evil, there would no longer be a divine fire falling from the sky to burn themselves to ashes, and in some remote and hidden corners of the empire, some evils began to brew.

However, these people were greeted by a dimensional blade that was extremely sharp, and there was no sign at all.

"What the hell are they thinking?"

At this time, on the Eastern Bande Plateau, on the detection throne high above the Empire, Nostradamus held the core terminal in his hand, controlled the Skynet network, and observed every move of all abnormal events in the entire empire, while a black-haired warrior with a winged maiden stood behind the old mage, listening to the other party complain about the stupidity of those criminals.

"Joshua, do you think these people have brains? Do they think that a legendary mage of the space-time system will not do as well as a legendary dragon knight in the field of casting spells in the air? Ha, I forgot, Israel doesn't ride dragons, he just keeps pets. ”

At this point, Nostradamus turned his head and squinted at Joshua, and he whispered, "Yes, just like you, you both like to keep dragons as pets. ”

"Because if it's just bad, it doesn't necessarily lead to crime, they will try to get into the financial industry, they will try to be a black businessman or a black lawyer, and some people will even try to do lottery and gambling - in short, bad doesn't mean crime."

For the slander of the old mage, standing behind the throne, Joshua shrugged as he watched Nostradamus accurately kill all the criminals, causing the number 3 sitting on his shoulder to sway for a while, Joshua said calmly: "Only bad and stupid people will commit crimes. Also, I don't keep black as a pet, I can ride, last time I rode black to the West Mountain, which is very different from Israel. ”

"Hey, according to you, Israel also 'rides' dragons." The old mage told a somewhat pornographic joke that caused Number 3 to raise his eyelashes slightly, but Joshua Adam couldn't hear it, and quickly gave him a suggestion: "Master, I think you need to kill those criminals in as obvious a way as possible, at least add a little elemental special effects, and don't be so silent - always use the dimensional slash without a trace, they don't even know that this is the judgment given to them by Skynet." ”

"That's a good idea, too."

Muttering, Nostradamus thought about it, added a little light particle effect to his dimensional slash, and then continued his work of patrolling the entire empire, while Joshua continued to take No. 3 and watched the other party behind his back to observe every light curtain.

Ten days ago, when Israel received the news of Joshua's calculations and embarked on the 'path to godhood', everyone knew that the situation in the world would change as a result.

Inheriting the name of the 'God of Power and Justice', if Israel succeeds in ascending to the gods, there is no doubt that he will naturally become one of the seven gods of the human race, and gain unimaginable power for ordinary people, not to mention, he was a powerful legendary powerhouse before he ascended to the gods, and after becoming a god, he will quickly master his own power to make up for the loss of the high-end combat power of the Microf civilization caused by the death of the previous generation of powerful gods 'Xingzheng'.

But now, Israel has not finished his ascension to the gods, and the cocoon of light formed by the divine power is stirring up in the boundless heavenly realm, according to the six gods, this is the means of sublimation to achieve the true god, with the power left by the previous god, the successor can quickly cross the boundary between 'transcendental' and 'god', and master the power of the great source of the multiverse through divinity.

Of course, this 'soon' is only relatively speaking, and if Israel wants to transform from a cocoon of light to a true god, it will take a few months to a year, and there is nothing good or bad about the length of time, it is just a matter of luck.

"The main thing is to see when he can understand the power he has."

When Joshua and the other legendary powerhouses asked the six gods about this, the god of law and freedom kindly answered their question: "Short time does not mean fast grasp, long time does not mean deep understanding, in the face of infinity, limited time does not matter." ”

This explanation, in fact, does not explain the reason in detail, some people think about it and seem to understand something, and some people do not understand the reason, but it does not affect anything.

And at that time, Joshua's heart suddenly moved.

He began to understand a little why the 'gods of love and decay' would say that he and Eagle were so strong that they didn't want to become gods for both of them.

In other words, he found another explanation behind the sentence.

In fact, at the beginning, Yue Wai probably didn't know why he said this, he probably just thought that becoming a god meant to protect the beings in the Microf world, to sacrifice himself for the entire civilization like Xingzheng, and to put himself in danger of being swallowed by the Great Source at any time...... Although the power of God is indeed extremely powerful, it is not unattainable, and because of this, Yue Wai does not want to let strong people like Eagle and Joshua, who are not gods, have the power of God to jump into this bound path.

But in Joshua's view, there is no obvious difference between gods and legends, especially in the Glorious Age, the combat power of gods is obviously higher than that of legends, and the same is true for status.

Low-level subordinate gods, such as the god of rivers under the goddess of the earth, his strength is not strong even in legends, but when it comes to the rank of the main god, because of the powerful nature of divine power and the almost infinite endurance, it can firmly suppress the multiple legendary high-level powerhouses in the general sense, and can even confront the evil god head-on.

At that time, God was supposed to be revered, and although it was difficult to advance, it did not mean that it could not be advanced, and it would never become a whirlpool that the strong should not fall into as it is now.

And to understand why, it's actually quite simple.

Because the 'initial fire' is moving away from this fact.

When Yue Wai said this, I am afraid that it was just a casual talk, but this talk gave the right answer - divine power is the power that originates from the initial fire, and it is the infinite power that communicates the great source of the multiverse, and the god is powerful because of this, and naturally he is bound because of this.

In today's world, knowing that the Initial Fire is shrinking, moving away, and even likely to break off the connection with the world's galaxy and sinking into the dark present of nowhere, and then becoming a god related to the power of the Initial Fire, is a gamble, no one knows whether the Initial Fire will have problems, but if something goes wrong, then all gods will lose the source of power, and even fall due to the shaking of the foundation of the life form.

Legends are different, legends self-transform life forms, of course, there will be big problems, and it may even lead to strong strength and not long lifespan, but in any case, legends are based on the power of life itself, even if the initial fire is extinguished, before the multiverse falls into complete dead darkness, legends will not have any major problems.

Even, extremely powerful legends, able to survive in the darkness of silence after the extinguishment of the initial fire and the destruction of the multiverse, waiting for the arrival of the next reincarnation.

"That's too far to go."

Retracting his thoughts, Joshua shook his head, he chuckled, and then turned his head to look down at the entire Bant Plateau.

This is located between the West Mountain and the Northern Empire, on the vast plateau, and now a large part of it has become a huge steel base, which is the Void Battleship production line built for the Empire by Joshua after the achievement of the legend, using the power of steel, thanks to it, now the Void Battleship has become an important means of transportation for the Northern Empire to explore the Void and go back and forth to other worlds.

A few years have passed in a flash, and under the guidance of the various data brought by the Great Database, and even the design drawings of the Radiant Era Void Battleship, the Imperial Royal Mage Guild has deduced its own warship design level to a very high point - they did not copy the original battleship drawings of the Shining Age era, but tried to analyze and deconstruct them, and used the advantages in them to the Starfall Era battleships that they could understand and maintain.

Originally, such high-intensity research required a large number of mages to delve into research, but because many professional academies similar to Wintercastle Academy were established a few years ago, there is now a large number of new spellcaster researchers who can join the related work. They may not have the same knowledge as the old-school mages, but after years of hard study, they are not far behind the forefront of their field in terms of professionalism.

Joshua's vision of the power of steel opened, and he could see that under the Balter Plateau, experimental warships were being assembled and completed in the magic dock, and they might not really be in service, which was indeed a waste of resources, but there was no doubt that every Void Battleship that was actually in operation could bring a lot of valuable information to the entire design team.

- For example, a research ship that is designed for detection and can scan the world through the world's barriers.

- For example, if it is used exclusively for construction, it is equivalent to an engineering ship that kills the entire industrial construction team.

- For example, an exploration frigate that is designed for exploring the interior of the world and can also fight in the void.

- Another example is a battlefield logistics ship that is specially used for support, which can release a large number of buff magic auras, replenish the shield and energy of the Void Battleship, and strengthen the armor.

For example, warships that are specially designed for Void Combat such as Void Cruisers and Destroyers, and for example, they are equipped with the strongest firepower of the existing McCrove civilization, and one ship is equivalent to the original 'Dreadnought-class battleship' with the combat power of a fleet.

The design of these warships is different from the concept of the Glorious Age, and if you want to perfect them, it will either take a long time, or it will take a lot of resources to conduct real ship experiments.

And at this time, I have to mention the important role of the Empire's Department of External Exploration, if there was no metal world discovered by the various teams at the beginning, and there were no high-quality alloy ores from the black fog, in terms of the resources of the McCrove world alone, it would never have been possible to support such a large-scale industrialization progress of the Northern Empire.

"No. 3, it seems that with our current magic energy technology, it is enough to create a mobile city like a mountain like your original body in the world of Callis."

Taking the artificial intelligence girl to leave the observation throne hanging high in the sky, Joshua and No. 3 flew over the plateau, the two walked above the clouds, observing every detail of the battleship production line, and the soldier said with some emotion: "In ten years, we have come to this point. ”

"Actually, the magic energy technology of the McCrof world has long surpassed the Karlis world."

In this regard, No. 3 shook her head slightly, her eyes reflected a frigate that was slowly rising into the air, flying to the end of the world, ready to go to the void, and then said softly: "We can condense the technology of a world to build a few primitive void warships, and we have exhausted the last strength of the entire civilization to create a mobile city like me." ”

"And you're just a country...... It can even be said that just a mage organization can accomplish such a great cause...... Joshua, this cannot be compared. ”

Joshua didn't say much about this...... In fact, what he wanted to praise was the courage of the people of Karlis, who did not hesitate to fight the entire civilization in the face of destruction, and did not forget to resist in the face of the families of the evil god of famine, and even the evil god himself, and even dared to raise their arms.

Fighters have always admired this.

"Joshua, the current magic web is full of information about the design of the Void Battleship and the 'Continent of Discord...... Aside from your civilization game, is the Mycrove civilization really planning to form a Void fleet in the near future and go to the World Galaxy where the Star Shepherds were originally located? ”

Without continuing to discuss the topic of the world of Karlis, No. 3 turned his head a little puzzled and asked Joshua - because of the popularity of the Continent of Discord, Joshua now does not need No. 3's assistance all the time to think normally, not to mention that some things are directly communicated through spirits, and No. 3 doesn't know what decisions the warrior and other legendary powerhouses have made.

As for No. 3's question, Joshua nodded seriously: "That's right, we don't have time to delay, in order to find out the reason for the stagnation of the world's galaxy, we can't just stay in one place, we have to go to other star fields to really find the reason for this anomaly." ”

"Actually, I didn't come here this time to cooperate with Nostradamus to activate the Skynet system...... My real purpose here is to build a tower. ”

"A tower?" Hearing this, No. 3 couldn't help but be really curious, she blinked, lowered her voice as if she was going to do something bad, and asked softly, "You...... What kind of tower are you going to build? ”

"That's no ordinary tower."

In this regard, Joshua lowered his head and looked down on the entire Bant Plateau from above the clouds, then he raised his head and looked at the topless void, the warrior showed a smile, he stretched out his hands, one pointed to the sky, the other pointed to the ground, Joshua's voice resounded in the sky, he said heroically: "The tower I want to build, towering into the sky, throughout the world, in the past thousand years, no building can compare with it, in the next thousand years, everyone will be proud of it." ”

"Its name is Babel, No. 3, and it's a 'Tower of Babel' that connects the sky and the earth, and runs through the void and the world!"
