Chapter 17: If you want to fight for tomorrow
Joshua didn't know how the others were reacting...... Because even he, when he deduced this result, he couldn't help but feel cold to the bone, and his body was trembling.
So now, the fighters waited patiently and waited for everyone's reaction.
He just wanted to know how his friends, his comrades-in-arms, would react to the news—even if it was to complain about why he told them such uncomfortable and desperate news.
As long as it is not self-defeating, then it means that there is not no room for reversal.
However, unlike Joshua's imagination, he soon knew the answer.
With the flickering of time and space fluctuations, one appeared in front of Joshua was Nostradamus with a stinky face and almost 'I'm not happy' written on his face.
"You guy!"
Through the address left by Joshua, the old mage who came to the door for the first time immediately rushed up with a low roar after seeing the warrior, he originally wanted to grab Joshua's collar and shake it, but both the material of the clothes and the weight of the warrior were a little too strong, so after finding that he couldn't make Joshua shake a little bit, Nostradamus could only put down his hand unwillingly, and then pointed at Joshua's nose and scolded: "I was just reading the report, for the empire in the last few years, The growth rate of the transcendent professional is happy, and you suddenly sent such a disgusting bunk - Radcliffe, are you mentally problematic?! ”
Facing the few friends who called him by name, Joshua was not angry at all, and he even asked with some joy to the old mage who was still very angry, "Then Master Nostradamus, how do you feel about this news?" ”
"Stinky shit." Without the demeanor of a legendary powerhouse, Nostradamus burst into foul language without mercy, he even took a sip, and then said viciously: "Do you think that it is very uncomfortable for you to know this kind of news alone, so you have to arrest a few people and make it uncomfortable with you?" ”
"I'm telling you, don't even think about it! I, not at all, no, uncomfortable! ”
After hearing Nostradamus's words, and then seeing that the other party made a gesture that was extremely inconsistent with the identity of a legendary mage, and only the previous generation of Imperial soldiers would use a vulgar gesture, Joshua smiled and shook his head, as if he hadn't seen anything.
Then, I don't know if Nostradamus started the game, and soon, the next legendary powerhouse—to be precise, two legendary mages—appeared.
After seeing Joshua, the two old mages originally wanted to point at Joshua's nose and scold him for "not being a son of man" and "madness", but because they saw Nostradamus who seemed to be angry on the side, they put down their hands a little unhappily in order to maintain their image in the eyes of the fourth party.
But even then, they didn't keep their mouths shut.
"Aren't you going to wait decades for us to tell us this news after we've beaten that group of gods who know where they came from?" Barnier scolded Joshua for the stupid order of announcing the news: "Do you know that after hearing this news, I didn't even want to update the main server of the Demon Net, so I wanted to run over and scold you!" ”
"Demoralize before the battle, really Radcliffe, are you really the one who led the troops? Who would be so stupid as to do pre-war mobilization! William belittled Joshua's logic of thinking from a psychological point of view: "Do you understand step by step? Give a small goal at a time? How can there be an opening that tells you the ultimate goal? You're ......."
Before William's words could be finished, a fourth space-time fluctuation appeared, and this time it was the expressionless Sage Fayna of the Sea who walked out of the passage.
The other party was holding a cup of magic potion in her hand, and the Sage Lady took a sip, then glared at Joshua, took a sip, and then continued to stare at ...... She didn't intend to speak at all, as if she wanted to stare Joshua to death by 'glaring'.
The arrival of legendary powerhouses can be said to be continuous.
The Fishman Priestess, Barbarossa, the Nature Mentor and the Elven Empress, the Holy Sword Envoy, the Psionic King, and the four puffed up fairy empresses who came together - they teamed up to blast an elemental magic at Joshua, naturally, this was just to vent their frustration, and they didn't use much force to attack at all, and they didn't even break the corners of the warrior's clothes.
The Great Elder of the Seven Dawns, the Dragon Whale Empress, and even the 'friend' of the Nature Mentor, the Legendary Monster Furry also ran over, and the Dwarven Divine Craftsman was the last to arrive, he brought a barrel of wine, and walked while drinking, which seemed to be the reason for his slowest speed.
Almost all of Microf, all the legendary powerhouses have come here - the eyes of the gods have also been cast here from other worlds, they have not appeared, but their will is with everyone.
In response, Joshua opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he only curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
It doesn't matter whether the legendary powerhouses are angry or desperate, decadent or suspicious, whether they believe the information they say or not. The important thing is that they will come here voluntarily because of the possible future of the world and civilization, wanting an 'explanation'.
In the face of darkness and despair, they did not shrink into their nests and palaces, lingering for a long time, nor did they feel that this matter was too far away from them and completely ignored it, but made a decisive decision and decided to deal with it head-on.
That alone felt that Joshua was enough.
Because, in the face of a frightening future, they will at least act.
——In the face of the terrifying existence that is approaching from the cold multiverse, if the legendary powerhouses do not act, if everyone is indifferent, then such a future is truly and completely dark and hopeless.
Originally, the warrior thought that in the face of the fact that the initial fire was shrinking and far away, and in the face of the reality that the multiverse seemed to have no future at all, and was about to fall into silence, even if the legendary powerhouses were not defeated, it would take a day or two to make a decision, but now, he far underestimated these powerhouses, these old legends, can achieve super lives without the magic tide and without the inheritance of the unified big database, it is definitely not luck and accident.
Their determination may not be purer than that of Joshua, they may be fearful, they may be confused, but when it comes to tenacity, they are no less than warriors—they are strong, they are not fake, they are the same inside and out.
"Joshua, you left your address at the end of the galaxy, and there must be something else to tell us."
Seeing that the people were almost there, the dwarven craftsman Flo Iron Finger stepped forward, the old dwarf raised the wine glass in his hand, and said in a dull tone: "If there is anything, then hurry up, I still want to go back to drink and relieve my boredom as soon as possible, and I don't have time to waste it on you bad-hearted stinky boy!" ”
It could be heard from the voice that the dwarven craftsman's mood was very depressed - anyone would be depressed, especially Joshua's method of transmitting the message, which was to use the power of steel to directly compress and pack a bunch of documents and stuff them into the recipient's head.
If it weren't for the legendary powerhouse, it would not be impossible for the brains and souls of ordinary people to be overwhelmed by this terrifying amount of information, but even so, a short period of vertigo was inevitable.
In this regard, Joshua originally wanted to start explaining on the spot - there was too much information to say next, he had been planning for a long time alone, including how to deal with the large number of evil gods flocking to the world of Mycrof in the next few decades, but just as the warrior was about to speak, he suddenly found that he had two old acquaintances, and this time he did not come.
The Great Emperor of the Northern Empire, Israel Delmond, and Pope of the Seven Gods, Iger, are not here.
This discovery immediately made Joshua's heart sink.
Israel and Eagle...... Aren't they going to come?
To be honest, they were really hit by the news they sent, and they are still distressed and confused...... It's not a bad thing, at most it's a little late, and it can even be said to be thoughtful and cautious. But what if, because they were completely defeated by despair, they have now begun to give up on themselves......
No.
But, while Joshua was still thinking.
Suddenly, there was a heroic laughter that ran through time and space, resounding in everyone's ears.
"Hahaha—I thought it was something desperate, Joshua, do you think it's something to be afraid of!"
I could hear Israel's low voice with heavy echoes, as if it was ringing in his ears, extremely clear: "-The sun will also be extinguished, and so is the galaxy, instead of fearing the arrival of that day, instead of fearing the existence of the sun and the galaxy that will be extinguished, it is better to do your best to reverse all this before death comes!" ”
At first, Joshua subconsciously looked around to see if Israel had already come over just now and was just hiding aside, but soon, he remembered another possibility.
Buzz - with the sound of the power of steel activating with all its might, next to the silver sky radiance, Joshua directly opened the maximum power of the power of steel vision, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the Microf world, the warrior's gaze penetrated the world and the void, like the most powerful detection spell, directly crossed the world barrier, and projected into the sky above the Northern Empire, the East Bant Plateau!
And at the moment when the warrior cast his gaze there.
He saw a brilliant red gold light.
- Incomparably shining, incomparably firm, like the sun in the sky, shining on the earth, with absolute power, to destroy all darkness and injustice of the red gold divine light!
The divine light called 'Justice of Might'!
And next to this incomparably dazzling divine light, there was a circle of formless and insubstantial brilliance, which could never be discovered without careful observation, but Joshua was extremely familiar with this brilliance, and he knew that the one who surrounded the crimson golden holy light and escorted Israel was none other than St. Iger, the Pope of the Seven Gods!
"The existence and battle of life never need meaning - Joshua, this is exactly what you told me at the beginning - you said that you are a simple person, and that is the life you chose."
Joshua could hear Pope Iger's voice coming from the far end of the world, smiling but firm: "And now, I'm going to tell you—that's the life I chose!" I have long vowed to use my life to light the way forward for all beings in the Microf world! ”
"If you give up from the beginning, then there will be no possibility of opening up that darkness in the future, so even if it is a meaningless battle, it seems destined to come to an end, and a battle that is doomed to defeat is not bad, is it!"
There was no time left for Joshua to reply.
Because the endless radiance of divine power is shining on the land of the Northern Empire.
Everyone—everyone who was looking up and looking at the sky—all the civilians who had been protected by the Skynet system, who had escaped from the hands of ruffians, greedy traders, and shameless aristocrats, all the ordinary people who had been taken care of by the Empire's recent policies, who had access to education, who had the opportunity to join the army, who had a skill, all subconsciously looked at the sky.
All the soldiers, under the leadership of a certain emperor, who had defeated countless orc armies and successfully wiped out this great enemy of mankind, raised their heads and stared at the sudden appearance of the red golden sun in the night sky.
In the capital of the empire, the Holy City of Three Mountains, in the Morlai Palace, the second prince Di Moore raised his head with a complicated face, and in all corners of the world, the emperor's children all raised their heads, and they raised their heads and looked at the divine light that was floating hundreds of thousands of meters in the air and was about to enter the void.
Under the illumination of this brilliance, even the world and time and space began to tremble violently, and it could be seen that the dazzling holy light was condensing in this light, as if it was about to turn into an abstract 'sun' holy emblem!
- Even if the priesthood is the same and the concept is the same, the gods themselves are absolutely different.
If the view of the god of power and justice, 'Punishment', on his own order is 'Justice without Light', and the emblem is a black ring, then at this moment, the 'Israel, the Ascender' who is ascending to the gods, has a view of justice as the 'sun' that hangs in the heavens with absolute power and destroys all darkness!
What is Justice? Justice means that the upright can hold their heads high, and the despicable can only be reduced to ashes!
It can be seen that a dazzling pillar of crimson gold light rises from the divine power light cluster where Israel is located, it pierces through time and space, and goes straight into the boundless heavenly realm, and at the same time, a red golden star gradually appears above the 'world barrier' of the Mycrof world!
In the light, the figure of Israel is completely invisible, and the emperor at this time has been completely surrounded by a cocoon made of light, which has seven colors of divine power, the most conspicuous of which is the black divine power from the previous power and justice itself, the deceased god, before choosing to destroy himself, has already left enough power to give his 'God Awakener', looking forward to the future after his own disappearance, the other party can be lifted again' The banner of justice' flutters at the top of the tower of the Microf civilization!
And Israel's deep but firm voice came again.
"I will exalt the throne of God in heaven!"
But this is not to be above all beings, because I also come from the earth. 】
- I just went one step ahead, one step ahead, on the top of the endless peak, climbed a mountain first. I have only become a strong man, so I have an obligation to lead you on the right path.
I will lead you to the future of tomorrow!
Across the void of the world, directly watching this scene, Joshua couldn't help but take a deep breath, he wanted to put on a serious expression, but the warrior's body, which was supposed to be completely obedient to his will, subconsciously showed a twisted and stiff, but extremely sincere smile.
"Do you still have the courage? Is there any hope? ”
In the face of the hopeless, dark, almost nihilistic picture of the distant future, there are still people...... Will you want to keep fighting?
These were the two questions that Joshua had originally intended to ask all the legendary powerhouses.
But now, whether it is all the legendary powerhouses before, or Israel and Iger, they have made a perfect answer with their own practical actions.
Yes.
- If we are going to fight for the distant future, for tomorrow, then the beginning of the battle will definitely not be when danger will come in the future, and it will never be 'tomorrow' day after day.
It is in the present place.
It's at this very moment.
