Chapter 40: The Enlightenment of the Devil
It is like being torn by a thousand winds in the sky, and it is like experiencing ten thousand shaking of the earth underground, this is how a soldier feels at this time.
Helm's intense light and energy blast swept across the abyss, but amazingly, apart from the dazzling glow and the heat of the melting rocks, it didn't produce the devastating power of a real supernova, but even so, Joshua still suffered a heavy blow.
There was a blank in his mind, only a strong sense of crisis echoed in his heart, Joshua's will was swaying at this time, as if it was being torn back and forth by the wind - the aura impact of Helm's incarnation was not only a physical attack, but also a spiritual impact, the soul of the warrior was originally extremely strong, but at this time it was almost blown away from his body, if it wasn't for the fact that he had learned a little Faina's quality and spirit transformation, so that the connection between body and soul was closer, maybe his soul had been blown out of his body at this time, Then the soul is scattered in the endless storm of energy.
Fortunately, this did not happen, but even so, Joshua could not think because of the shaking of his soul, and at this time he could not make any orderly movements at all, and could only feel that the light that Helm had incarnated with everything was still violently slicing his chest...... Is it a cut? If it had been cut, he would have been cut in half a long time ago, degenerate matter is not indestructible, and any attack with enough energy level can destroy the carapace made of white dwarf matter.
I...... Result...... At...... What are you ......? Faint consciousness flickered in the depths of the mind.
Right...... I'm ...... Face, enemy!
And behind Joshua, the demon lord Saruka was a little bit away from being scattered, and the insect demon felt that his soul had been taken out of his body, but it had not completely broken the link, and at this time, it had no intention of interfering with the warrior at all, but desperately fused its soul and body in a panic - if it hadn't been for Joshua blocking most of the aftermath, its consciousness would have been washed away long ago, and it would have been reduced to a piece of soulless flesh.
Finally pulling the soul back into its torn body, Saruka quickly strengthened the connection between the two, and at this point, it finally had the strength to think about what had just happened...... Helm incarnated into a form he had never seen before, and then rushed towards Joshua, which was blocked by the warrior, but the warrior was defeated by his surprise attack, and the two collided, and then it lost most of its consciousness until now.
"The human ...... It should be dead by now, right? ”
Although Joshua's body still seemed intact, he had stopped moving, and Saruka couldn't help but have a guess in his heart: after all, Helm's unknown attack could attack the soul, maybe Joshua's soul had dissipated due to the direct impact?
That's just a lot of good...... If Saruka was given a second chance, it would never choose to fight Joshua, the existence of the desperate giant god was a nightmare in itself, and the Lord of the Worm Demon wanted to return to the Sixth Abyss now, and advised His Majesty the Demon King to never attack the world of Microf again, this world is not something they can touch, they should learn to be in awe.
And just as Saruka was gradually reassured, suddenly, the Iron Giant moved.
"What, what?!!"
The giant's four arms suddenly trembled slightly, and soon, the four arms that could shatter the carapace of the legendary monster, comparable to the arms pressed down by the four mountain peaks, regained their mobility, although they still looked a little stiff, but there was no doubt that they could already operate, Saruka's heart was overflowing with despair and fear at this time, it never expected that Joshua's soul had not been blown away by the unknown light flow!
The next moment, silver flames began to flicker on the four arms, and gradually, the chainsaw-like flames began to burn on the surface of the four arms.
Joshua still hadn't regained full consciousness, his soul was still being hit violently, dizzy, and thoughtless vertigo echoed deep in his soul...... If they are ordinary people, they have already fallen into the illusion of past memories at this time, and begin to relive their memories of every moment from childhood to adulthood, they will even completely fall into the trap constructed by their souls, and they will be trapped in it for hundreds of years, never to wake up.
Joshua was almost the same, but he moved, four arms raised in Saruka's trembling gaze, accumulating strength, and then slamming down.
Because, even if he loses consciousness, even if his soul is shaken, even if he doesn't know what he is doing at all, even if his weak consciousness can only sway fragile sparks in the spiritual sea, the warrior is still a warrior, and his body still remembers that the weakest flow of consciousness makes the steel body realize his mission at this time.
That is to slash the enemy.
"Boom!"
With four arms and fingers like knives, it slashed resolutely towards the aura in front of him, even the bright light comparable to a supernova burst could not stop Joshua's slash, his hand knife slashed heavily at the aura of Helm's incarnation, and then ...... Pierced through.
"Buzz!!"
With the trembling of the aura, more intense fluctuations came, this time, not only Joshua, but even Saruka felt completely blank, and when he woke up again, the Insect Demon Lord could see that the surface of Joshua's positive body had begun to gradually peel off, turning into burning steel chips.
But it was with this impact that Joshua's soul also regained some of its normal thinking ability, and he stared at the aura that constantly hit his body in front of him, as well as the debris that continued to overflow from the surface of his body, and finally understood Helm's attack.
It was an accelerated impact of particles that was carried out to the extreme.
Helm was burning with his soul at this point - it had blocked his soul, his body, and all his dignity, turned his legendary body into a pure particle accelerator, and then turned into a spiral aura and rushed towards himself - in other words, Helm used his body and soul as ammunition, and exchanged an irreversible suicide attack for Joshua's heavy blows.
At the moment of being hit, countless soul particles belonging to Helm turned into a violent wind that penetrated consciousness, blowing Joshua's soul away from his body, and then completely shredded it, and at the same time, the material particles that formed the opponent's body and were accelerated to the extreme impacted the warrior's steel body, 'eroding' his body.
Countless particles of matter collide, split, and fuse in the microscopic state at a rapid pace, and they transform themselves in incomprehensible ways, incarnating into various heavy elements: the crumbs of the power of steel that were stripped from Joshua's body at this time are no longer the power of steel, they are gold, carbon, iron, platinum and lead, the elements of everything in this world! They are like nebulae that are thrown into the universe after a supernova explosion, blown away everywhere in the abyss of the Blood Moon.
At this moment, Joshua finally understood the essence of the original creation: that is, to combine them from the most microscopic perspective, like building blocks, but now is not the time to realize, since he has seen through the opponent's attack, the time has come to fight back.
"Whew—Demon Helm."
The warrior let out a long breath, he felt his soul tired and high like never before, Joshua's eyes lit up with silver, his four arms clenched into fists, and the incomparable magnetic field and gravity began to converge - an attack capable of truly distorting the acceleration of the destruction particles compared to a pure physical impact. Joshua stared at his own aura, which had completely lost his self-consciousness in front of him, and just kept impacting with the last command, and spit out words of appreciation: "You are a real powerhouse. ”
"I admire your determination."
And with the words spoken, Joshua Van Radcliffe stretched out his four arms, and then swung heavily towards the 'aura' that was indescribable, formless, and only accelerated his soul and matter to the extreme, and his four fists went against the light, slashing through the shadows, it shattered the space, but it was not the enemy's attack that was about to be shattered, but the soul, body and determination of the opponent.
In a world where only light remains, a fragmented sound suddenly sounds.
Saruka sensed all this, it hadn't yet understood the nature of Helm's attack - but it was still stunned, the Lord of the Worm Demon knew that Helm's decisive blow had been completely ineffective, and that their enemies were still there.
They failed.
And the abyss of the blood moon, the strong light that shines on everything fades layer by layer.
The heat of burning up everything in the air gradually dissipated, leaving only the red ball that had turned into a lava ball floating in midair.
With the battlefield as the center, there was nothing within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, only the various heavy metal particles produced by the collapse of Joshua's surface body remained, at this time, the warrior's steel body shrank by one-third, and the four arms were only skeletons, this time from the soul to the body, Joshua suffered a rather heavy blow.
The blood moon hurriedly stretched out thousands of pillars of light and fell towards Joshua - just now because of Helm's impact, its link with the warrior was severed, at this time it saw that Joshua was not in the right state, so it wanted to help him recover, but Joshua waved his hand to block these pillars of light, he shook his head and refused: "Forget it, there is no need." ”
"I can't stay here forever—I can't really be your lord."
"Suzu?!" Hearing this reply, the blood moon suddenly flashed with light, and after hesitating, all the pillars of light were withdrawn, and it seemed to be angry, but Joshua didn't care—at this time, he was holding a translucent crystal in his hand, and in front of him, hundreds of crystals similar to it were floating in the air, and then turned into debris and disappeared with the wind, and it was vaguely visible that the appearance of a thousand-eyed python was rolling in the wind.
This is the spiritual fragment left after Helm burned out, and you can vaguely see the memories of the Demon Lord in the past flickering in these crystals, in the abyss, this is the priceless soul gem, it contains the experience of a strong man's life, and it is also the final crystallization of the condensation of the other party's will.
With five fingers, he crushed the largest piece of Helm's soul crystal in his hand, and Joshua's eyes were only indifferent - it was precisely because of admiration that he had to completely destroy it, the demon's consciousness was a catastrophe for mankind, and the so-called extermination of the enemy must be left at all, and the slightest trace must not be left, whether it is the spirit or existence of the other party, it must be completely erased.
Three hands gripped at the mental fragments left behind by Helm, and the other reached behind his back to grasp the devastated Saluka Cocoon. The Lord of the Worm Demon is also an extremely tough enemy, after all, it is impossible for everyone to be as decisive as Helm, Joshua did not intend to kill it completely, but planned to capture it, give it to William to extract his soul, and ask about the secret of the Sixth Abyss, and just as he was about to seize Saruka, suddenly, a deep black spatial ripple flashed, and a silent and angry will crossed the boundary, it tore through the space, and snatched Saruka out of Joshua's hands - it was not even satisfied, and rolled towards the remaining spiritual fragments of Helm.
Joshua was stunned for almost a tenth of a second for the first time because of the heavy damage to his soul and body, which sounds short, but it is enough to fight a few times for a legendary powerhouse, just such a stunned god, most of Helm's spiritual fragments were collected by the other party, and in this regard, Joshua immediately reacted: "It's you!" ”
"Demon King Goliath!"
There is no doubt that the one who is now saving Saruka is really the Lord of the Sixth Abyss, the King of Demons, and the Gluttonous Demon King Goliath! It didn't know how to break through the interception of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground, and it came to the Blood Moon Abyss and snatched the Insect Demon Lord from Joshua's hands! It even planned to take Helm's wreckage with it.
How could Joshua allow the other party to take the spoils of war from his mouth so easily? In just an instant, the warrior was back in combat form, and he took a step forward, intending to smash the time and space with one punch, driving the Abyss Lord's damned tentacles back to its homeland, but there was a beam of light, faster than Joshua's iron fist!
“————————!”
In the midst of the Blood Moon, the Great Light Humanoid made an indescribable voice, furious as a will from another abyss invaded its territory, far more infuriating than Joshua's refusal to be his lord.
The pillar of light fell from the top of the firmament and hit directly on the pitch-black space ripples, and suddenly, time and space shook, and a large area of space shattered, making the whole world like a spider web.
"-You've won this time!"
I could hear a muffled snort from the other end of the space, even the Demon King couldn't compete with the will of the Blood Moon Abyss and a legendary powerhouse after crossing the two layers of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Field and the World Barrier, and with the fragmentation and healing of a large area of space, it could be seen that a small half of the insect cocoon and almost half of the spiritual fragments were left in place, although the light human form did not completely block the demon king of the sixth abyss, but it still left a lot of loot.
Fragments of light fluttered in the air, the memories of the Demon Lord drifted in the wind, Joshua stared at it all, his form gradually shrinking, and finally changed back to the size of a normal person, the warrior took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.
This is war.
