Chapter 19: Spontaneous Emergence

[It is not powerful at the beginning, but it can evolve by consuming various resources and energy to produce mutations

In fact, it is very weak no matter how it evolves, and even mutating into an abnormally strong individual is not a long-term way for the population itself, so they always gather in groups

They don't just rely on their own strength, they are good at using the host's flesh and blood, everything the host has to contribute to their own survival

Silently, one host is destroyed, and they travel to the next, repeating the cycle over and over again.]

For the plague god, Iger's thoughts are not surprising.

After all, after encountering the crisis of the weakened evil god and the dead evil god, and from the information of the unified large database and the knowledge receiver, he has obtained a lot of information related to the battle with the evil god and the other party, and the current McCrof civilization no longer has the inexplicable fear of the evil god in the past.

The biggest fear in the world is the unknown.

And after removing the fog brought by the unknown, even the evil god is only an extremely powerful chaos enemy, not an invincible totem - not to mention that the plague evil god was not 'strong' in the past, and at most it was about the same as a weak evil god.

And the strength of the weakened evil god, if it is at the level when it was just recovered, with the current strength of the McCrof Combined Expeditionary Fleet, it can be directly destroyed, not to mention Iger, even the natural mentor thinks that if he is prepared, he can be evenly matched with the other party. If it is a complete form in the record, which requires the cooperation of nine Shining Legends to deal with, it is nothing more than a few more Legends side by side, and it will not take much effort.

Therefore, for the plague evil god, whose strength may not be stronger than that of the weakened evil god, it is normal for Eagle not to believe that the other party has this kind of strength.

"Not necessarily."

Barnier shook his head at Iger's rather firm answer, and instead of refuting the old pope's remarks, he gave an example: "It may not be the Chaos Evil God...... Temporal information disturbance, this ability is not exclusive to evil gods - you see. ”

After speaking, Barnier raised his hand, this legendary mage who specializes in runes, is good at creating elemental life, and transforms his body into a rune fortress condensation, six mainstream elements and a certain concentration of magic power appeared in his palm, and the ether light mist, you can also see that there is a certain amount of life energy mixed with the soul, as well as various oxygen and nitrogen...... Many elements come together to form a condensation of extraordinary power...... In other words, it forms a mediocre mass of standard 'air'.

In most of the life worlds, the atmosphere of extraordinary power and ordinary elements, created by Barnier, is such an ordinary thing.

"I simulated the concentration of extraordinary forces in the current void, many worlds, and theoretically, the major transcendent forces are the most stable and will not cause conflicts and changes. But you see. ”

As he spoke, Barnier's palm moved slightly, and a barely noticeable ripple of energy swept through, affecting the mass of standard air.

Then, something amazing happened—with this energy fluctuation that was difficult for even a legendary powerhouse to find, affecting a small element in the air, a wonderful chain reaction began to occur: first, various different elements began to converge and condense with each other, condensing to form the most basic 'self-replicating elemental condensate' of elemental life, and then further produced larger elemental particles, elemental crystals, elemental crystal clusters...... Then, there is the most basic, like a cloud of mist, the simplest elemental life.

"Babble~ya~"

After being born, this mist-like elemental life instinctively let out a burst of cheers, and then at the tip of Barnier's fingers, chasing his tail in a circle, witnessing this scene, most of the legendary powerhouses frowned, as if they understood something.

"Chain Reaction - as we all know, I'm a good creator of elemental life, and my study of elemental life is probably deeper than the elves' own research." "Sometimes, the seemingly stable environment is actually not very stable, and the influence of a powerful existence will actually transform the whole world. ”

"I'll see, Joshua isn't here, is it?" After saying this, Barnier glanced around vigilantly, and after making sure that the warrior did not leave the incarnation, he relaxed and continued: "Okay, I'll use the analogy of Marshal Radcliffe who is not present - the steel element and the silver elf are the children and relatives of Marshal Radcliffe. "(The Elf Queens shout that that's our new compatriot) "The latter is more typical, first appearing in the world of Karlis that he has influenced, and multiplying in the world within him, and his power, if not suppressed, will transform everything around him into some kind of special life. ”

As he spoke, the elemental life in Barnier's hand changed slightly, and the elemental structure inside it began to complicate, from a 'simple elemental life' that could be compared to a multicellular organism to an 'intermediate elemental life' comparable to a complex creature such as a dinosaur and a mammoth, and it was only one step away from a high-level elemental life comparable to human beings and other intelligent life.

"You see, I just exerted a small amount of influence, and this effect is very similar to the way the Limit Virus appeared - I don't need to take the initiative to create an elemental life at all, I only need to exude a trace of power that is extremely insignificant to me, and I can make the world itself give birth to what I want, of course, the gap may be a little big, but the principle is the same."

This idea immediately sparked the thoughts and discussions of the legends, and Barnier was not surprised, and continued: "Nature, Mentor, can't you also activate the plants around it, so that it can temporarily give birth to spiritual intelligence? Pope, isn't your light also inadvertently purifying all evil? Didn't you notice that your teleportation spell was much faster than we could cast? When we reach the realm of legends, we actually all have a similar nature, which affects the essence of the world. It's just that there are relatively few individuals who can create life by relying on essence alone. ”

Barnier spoke eloquently, and it could be seen that as an old mage who often created an army of elemental beings out of thin air and used all means to single out of all enemies, he knew this set very well, and the reason why the Limit Virus was created out of thin air might be a bit strange for others, but for him, it was at most an advanced means.

So in this regard, he made up his mind: "This phenomenon of the spontaneous emergence of the virus may not be caused by the evil god, after all, we have not sensed any chaos-related aura, it may come from an extremely powerful transcendent...... However, this kind of transcendent who wantonly spreads the plague is no different from the evil gods, and if you want to prevent this virus, it is useless to rely on martial law, what we need is to interfere with this 'fluctuation' that will induce the emergence of the virus. ”

"Of course, before that, let's fully recall the exploration team - the multi-galaxy is no longer safe, which may be one of the harbingers of the 'Evil God Invasion'."

At the same time, the other side of time and space.

- The World of Stars.

Joshua, who was interacting with the Triple Veil at the bottom of the hierarchy and exchanging experiences and data on the use of various supernatural powers on both sides, suddenly interrupted this communication with the Triple Veil, raised his head and looked at the dark vacuum between the stars.

"What's the matter...... I sensed that outside the world, there was a being that was exerting influence on the world! ”

In the dark void, the silver world was rapidly transforming, and Joshua unfolded his battle form, staring at the other side of the void with a serious face, because even he could not accurately sense the subtle fluctuations that were sweeping across the galaxy - that fluctuation was like the spontaneous surge of elementary particles in a vacuum, a part of a natural phenomenon, if it weren't for the fact that his perception was not limited to just one world, I am afraid that even he would not be able to detect it.

However, the thickness of the world barrier of the Star World was really hundreds of millions of times greater than that of ordinary worlds, and even Joshua could only dimly perceive that the outside world seemed to be very quiet, and there was no major change.

"Triple Veil, do you know what's going on outside of the Star World?" Joshua turned his head and said to the Triple Veil, who had also begun to be on guard, in a wary tone: "Is it possible that the evil god has infiltrated the world of stars, and you have not found out?" ”

A massive psionic mechanical aggregate shone brightly.

[Answer: We don't know.] The world barrier of the world of the stars is impregnable in the case of internal existence not actively communicating with the outside world. The Star World existed as the last bastion of the founders from the beginning, and even evil gods would never have been able to infiltrate inside without us knowing.]

[Distress: Psionic energy is the power that can communicate with all things, and psionic civilization can naturally echo special individuals on distant sides, and we did not prevent the first psionic civilization from summoning the evil god clan to this world, which caused great suffering...... We are powerless to stop civilization...... Self-defeating]

Since the triple veil was sure that no evil gods had infiltrated, Joshua didn't say much, he believed the other party, but in this case, he had to think about the source of new enemies.

However, Joshua was not clueless, and at the moment when he began to think, the warrior had already walked around the world by himself, the various civilizations of the Mycroft, the multiple galaxies one civilization after another, and even the bloody war galaxy, and was given to the crisis management system of Kreller and Elma, and knew that there might be weirdness and chaos behind it.

"The Limit Virus—if it were the work of the Plague God...... Is it so strong? ”

For the first time, Joshua's mind appeared with the same thought as the old Pope Iger, that is, the plague evil god they knew did not seem to have such a powerful power.

However, unlike Eagle, Joshua knew that behind the Plague Mother Beast of the Star World was a special super lifeform called the 'Extreme Sublimation Virus', which was recognized by the Star World as the existence of the Plague Evil God - if it were, it would not be strange to create the Extreme Virus, and it could even be taken for granted.

"And in the world of stars, there is also a plague...... More than a dozen star fields have already fallen! ”

Joshua quickly discovered this by interacting with the 'Ring of the Four Gods', which was closely connected to the web of psionic energy and linked to most of the psionic people in the Star World.

Because the transmissibility and lethality of the Limit Virus is too high, as long as there is a large-scale loss of contact with an entire planet or an entire colony in a certain place, and there is no situation where the soul returns to the network of psionic energy, it can basically be determined that it is caused by the Limit Virus. And because there are almost no survivors, it leads to the illusion that things don't seem to be serious!

In this regard, even Joshua can't do it for you, the limit virus burns flesh and soul, and his resurrection technique can't be restored out of thin air.

Strictly speaking, it's not that it can't.

With Joshua's current strength, he could probably rewind the movement of matter in the area by going back to the area, causing a phenomenon similar to a time rewind, and then resurrect people who had been burned into nothingness - roughly equivalent to a small version of Fatrolvi's time rewind, and as long as the Triple Veil could provide information, he could certainly do this.

But that would be too much to do, and although it would be cold-blooded, it would be worth the cost when faced with the threat of evil gods and unknown sources of the plague.

The living are more important.

In the previous low-level information exchange, Joshua and the Triple Curtain had already determined the details of the next 'Great Counteroffensive Campaign' and determined the tone of the next war, so that when the Galactic Guardian Alliance had the advantage of passing the 'Ring of the Four Gods' and the newborn emotional ability, Joshua would also be able to return to the Diversified Galaxy with the relevant test materials of emotional power, preparing to deal with the invasion of the evil gods more than ten years later, and also to prepare for the advanced sage.

But now, due to the sudden appearance of the Extreme Virus, not only will the counter-offensive plan be postponed, but Joshua and the Triple Veil will have to allocate additional forces to stop the spread of the plague - and the recent actions of the Chaos Clan are also very strange, it seems that some big moves are being prepared, and the situation that was originally good is now somewhat reversed.

"Forget it, I don't want to do so much."

Instead of complaining, it's better to try how to solve the problem.

Joshua gave up thinking about meaningless things, and he sank down and began to quietly feel all the information in the vacuum, trying to find the source of the plague.

The four-armed giant god spread out his four arms, making a vacuum-like hug, and layers of silver fluctuations overflowed from the giant god's body, layer upon layer, spreading towards the vacuum.

The galaxy where the triple veil is located is a large hollow, without any superfluous stars emitting energy interference, and there are no traces caused by civilization activities to affect perception.

In this environment, when the ultimate transcendent begins to listen to the world, all seemingly intimate connections are dissected and dissolved.

He can hear the flickering of elementary particles, he can perceive the rotation of electrons around atoms, he can see that in the most basic existence of matter, with the support of all transcendent forces, gravity dances with the ether, restricting the movement of all matter, and magic is independent of electromagnetism, which can condense unconventional matter out of thin air, creating phenomena that should not exist...... Joshua could perceive that life energy is a force that exists in all things in the universe, and it is not the energy that is unique to life, but only life can follow its own will and use it to transform other things, the energy of other life.

All living beings, even disembodied and seemingly nothing, had nothing to hide from Joshua.

So, he heard—the faint ghostly signal that lurked in the sea of particles churning in the vacuum.

- In the universe, among the stars, in a seemingly empty vacuum, it is actually a churning sea of particle energy, but because it is too calm compared to the macrocosm, it seems to be like a wave.

However, in the vicinity of the stars, on the planets, the surge of energy and the change of matter are very drastic.

The churning of the solar corona, the blowing of the solar wind, the movement of the magnetic field, the eruption of volcanoes and heat flows brought about by geological changes...... In every material-rich region of the universe, there are billions of possibilities all the time.

Among them, there will be exactly a part of it, and its energy changes, matter changes, will cause 'coincidences' - for example, inorganic matter becomes organic matter, and the condensation of energy crystals produces confusion, and they suddenly become something that can replicate and reproduce itself.

That is, the primitive cell, and even the beginning of life.

And this is the origin of the Extreme Virus.

Joshua listened to the entire world of stars, he relied on repairing the pillar of light, relying on the network of psionic energy that the power of emotion could influence, to listen to the sound of material changes around the world, and the immeasurable amount of information was processed rapidly under the calculation of the thinking unit of the warrior in the world, so Joshua could hear that under the coincidence of the birth of those seemingly normal lives, there was a discordant sound.

The fluctuations emanating from a powerful being affected all the opportunities for the 'possible birth of life', making the possibility of becoming primitive cells and primitive lives all become the prototype of the extreme virus!

In other words, after being affected by the extremely weak fluctuations that swept across the world of stars, all the affected planets, where life may appear, and phenomena similar to viruses and other structures may appear, all of them will actually produce the original form of the limit virus!

In other words, the extreme virus does not need to be infected at all - because it emerges spontaneously from various phenomena in the world!

The primordial soup around the high-temperature smoke column on the seabed, the high-concentration elemental illusion where lightning fell, and the crystallization area where magic power converges, these areas where life may be born, it is possible that extreme viruses will spontaneously emerge! Not to mention the biological laboratories of some civilizations, the bacteria and fungi produced by the mildew of substances in nature have mutated, and the more life-intensive the place, the more likely it is that the limit virus will be born!

"Is it the possibility of interference?"

Opening his eyes, Joshua's face was solemn, and he couldn't help but think of a powerful enemy he had encountered a long time ago, the strongest man in the Siboya world, the time mover 'Fatrolvi'!

His stunt was to manipulate the possibilities in the world of Siboya and create any future he wanted - in the battle at that time, not to mention the possibility of controlling the birth of the virus, Fatroorvi could even directly influence the possibility to achieve quantum evasion, and avoid any of his attacks without injury!

However, while similar, they are not exactly the same...... If fatrolvi is 'dominating possibility', then the emergence of the limit virus is at most 'induction'. The spontaneous emergence of the Limit Virus may not be complete, and the survival time is definitely not as short as that of a complete body, and even the lethality is not very high, so in some worlds, there may even be individuals who have not died in the Extreme Plague.

"Indeed, more like some kind of rudimentary, incomplete memetic ......," muttered to himself, and Joshua couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Today's situation is getting more and more difficult, and although the source of the plague has been found, a bigger question has arisen: where did the wave that gave birth to the limit virus come from?

Even Joshua couldn't confirm this, he could only guess that the source of this fluctuation might come from outside the Star World.

"Triple Veil."

After thinking for a while, Joshua finally made up his mind, and the giant god looked back at the psionic machinery orbiting the black hole on one side, and his tone was calm: "Do you have a way to send me for the time being—no, send my incarnation, to the outside of the Star World to see the situation?" ”
