CHAPTER XXVIII
The dreamy scene gradually fades, and the story of a boy, teenager and man thousands of years ago gradually comes to an end.
The man who gave up all illusions about beauty and went all out to hunt down those chaotic superpowers ended up being a nightmare for the whole world.
When a person who can pause 'time', has no teammates who need to protect and cover, and is free to shoot without all kinds of restrictions, then there is hardly anyone in this world who can stop him.
He can kill anyone, because he acts in a stagnant world that is impossible for ordinary people to observe, and in the face of this ability, no matter how well-defended a fortress is, it is useless. He can destroy anything, because if he doesn't work once, he will do it ten times, and if he doesn't work ten times, he will do it a hundred times, and he has 'time' to ponder and destroy.
In a world where civilization and order have collapsed, he has walked through snow, grasslands, swamps and city ruins, leaving countless corpses and blood stains, destroying one group after another superhuman groups that have done evil, scorching earth one after another post-apocalyptic human gathering places, killing thugs who do all kinds of evil, and ordinary people who loot material warehouses, he kills superpowers who are slaves and professes themselves emperors, and he also kills the former high-level Siboya government who constantly gathers refugees and wants to rebuild the world government.
Men are treated equally, so the once-thriving Sin City was turned into a cemetery overnight, and no human traffickers and violent groups survived it, so the most powerful fortress in the South China Sea sank overnight, and the twenty-seven fusion warheads loaded with it were missing.
Men roam the continent of Sibeya, hunting down anyone who creates chaos and influences the world with their personal desires, whether it is a superpower or a remnant of the world government.
He is very patient, if after killing a reckless leader, there will be a hundred equally bad successors, then he will kill those 100 people as well, if these 100 people have 10,000 successors, he will continue to kill, anyway, killing one person or 10,000 is a moment for him, it is not a big deal, he does not mind killing a little more.
If there is a mistake in the world, then let him correct it, and if the Sibeans fall into chaos, then let him destroy it, some people say that order cannot be built on violence and killing, some people say that darkness and chaos can never be eradicated, and the man once believed this, but now, he does not believe it.
And he was right, fear and blood do create order.
In this way, the man became stronger in the continuous killing, and his ability was originally to stagnate for fifteen seconds within a range of five hundred and fifty meters centered on himself, and he could only use it again after ten seconds, and then it became stagnant for twenty seconds, twenty-five seconds, or even half a minute, one minute, and the cooldown time also changed from ten seconds to five seconds, three seconds, one second, and even negligible.
The stagnation grew larger and larger, and originally, his ability covered at most one street, but this quickly expanded to several streets, half a city, when the man grew to the point where he could clearly 'see' the ubiquitous 'supernatural essence' around him. He could pause time in the city, and he could see the colorful particles seeping in like meteorites, seeping in from the outer part of the world, spilling out of the bodies of the dead superpowers, and they traveled across the world, and then were captured and absorbed by his body, slowly strengthening his abilities.
By the time the man had gone all over the world and killed all those who tried to maintain the chaos, he would have been able to stop the hours of time, and the scope of his power was half a kingdom - now, no force dared to expand, no pretentious people dared to rule, and everyone was in fear because an invisible nightmare hovered over the continent.
Men define rules and order, all those who do not obey only have the end of death, those who dare to resist have long been turned into bones a few years ago, and now there are only frightened crowds left, they dare not resist, and they are powerless to resist, because what is their enemy is time itself.
How far can the extreme of extraordinary power go?
That is, to suppress the entire civilization, the whole world, with the power of one person.
When all the people in the world of Siboya are terrified by the name of one person, and dare not make the slightest move, that person becomes the de facto master of the whole world - his will is the law, his preferences are the rules, and when the name 'Fatrolvi' spreads throughout the world, everyone on the continent of Sibeja worships this name.
And Fatroorvi shrugged off the worship.
The illusion completely dissipated, the dreamlike world ended, and Joshua's will returned to the real world, at this time, the sky above the world of Siberia was still dark, the dust in the atmosphere was still dense, and the steel factory in the center of the world, which used the human soul as raw materials, had not been destroyed, as if everything he had done before was an illusion.
- Stagnation, even countercurrent.
Joshua stared at the vast force of steel in his hand that had not yet been released—the force of steel that should have turned into a pillar of light a few minutes ago, tearing through the barriers of the world of Siberia and linking his body. But now, the power flowed back into his hands, as if it was like a rewind of a videotape, and outside the world, his body was probably still wondering about this inexplicable change, and he didn't know why he broke the link.
This is the ability of the man who is called the 'master of fate' and 'time promoter' who is feared by countless old Sibeyas.
At this point, the man spoke.
"The Advent."
His voice was calm, emotionless like a soul puppet: "Get out of my world." ”
Except for his voice, the whole world of Siberia was silent, everything, dust, smoke, clouds and wind froze, even the light stopped in place, plunging the whole world into unspeakable darkness, Fatrolvi stood at the top of the spiral tower, condescendingly looking down on the whole world, indifferently issuing an expulsion order to the huge steel golem that was stagnant.
At the same time, an incomparably strong repulsive force acted on Joshua's body, and this power was so huge that it was as if the whole world had turned into a creature, and it was going to forcibly expel the warrior who was a 'foreign body' from his body—at this moment, he could see that the space around Joshua was shattered layer by layer, and dark blue lines were spreading in the shattered space.
Because of Fatrolvi's words, a huge array of thousands of meters in size spread around the warrior, and it can be seen that a hole leading to the outer void is rapidly emerging, it is like a black hole, and all the matter in the formation is to be sucked into it, and the black-red giant puppet is the first to bear it, he is slowly pulled towards the cave entrance while being imprisoned, as if he is about to be expelled from the world of Xiboya.
However, a deep and clear voice sounded in the silent world.
"I refuse."
With the sound of something shattering, the steel golem that was supposed to be imprisoned in time slowly raised his head, and he looked at the man named Fatroorvi with the same indifferent eyes—a huge puppet floating in mid-air, and the man standing on the top of the spiral tower looked at each other, and after a few seconds, a deep voice came from the puppet's speaker: "This is not your world. ”
Flames burned on the puppet's body again, and the brilliant light began to surge in the imprisoned world again, and the surging steel power flowed down the shattered space, as if it were the best binder, completely filling the shattered expulsion channel. And with this process, the sky of the world of Sibeja is divided into two distinct realms, one dark and stagnant, as if the world after death, and the other is bright and vibrant, overflowing with fire and vitality.
Bursting out of power, he broke free from the shackles of the stagnant world, but Joshua did not attack the enemy at the first time as before, he stood in the center of the light, watching the other party.
Fatrolvi—the name of the man in the illusion—had an ordinary appearance, his features were upright, nothing out of the ordinary, his eyes were indifferent like machines, and blue light flowed in his pupils, and he watched as Joshua broke free from his confinement, but he didn't react, just stared indifferently.
This is the appearance of the strongest superpower who suppressed the entire world thousands of years ago, created soul puppets, and treated the Sibeya people as livestock grazing.
Joshua was supposed to be the same as those soul puppets and rebels in the world of Siboya, and his memories were reclocked back a few minutes by the other party, but because of the information link ability of the power of steel, he connected with the unknown force that enveloped the entire spiral tower, and entered the other party's 'dream', or rather, a real-world 'past', he saw the truth of the collapse of the Siboya world thousands of years ago, and also knew the origin of the other party's beliefs.
The man who vowed to eradicate chaos and create absolute order fulfilled his oath and created a world of order that was as solid as iron and ice.
"Just now, is that your memory?"
Above the sky, the two faced each other in silence, and after a moment, the puppet's speaker vibrated again, and a deep voice came from it: "This is the reason why you breed Siboya?" Because you can't find a way to coexist with superpowers and ordinary people, and you can't find a way to maintain absolute order, so you just wipe out everyone's self-will and guard them like chickens and ducks in the breeding area? ”
"Coexistence? It's not a matter of coexistence. ”
Joshua's voice was thick and vibrated between heaven and earth, and in the face of his questioning, Fatrolvi, who had not succeeded in expelling the warrior away, also unexpectedly did not continue to move, he looked up at the starry sky, then lowered his head, and looked at Joshua, Fatrolvi said lightly: "As long as the superpower exists, the real order cannot be established." ”
He didn't care about Joshua's reaction, nor did he care about the more and more vigorous flames burning on the other party's body, Fatroorvi stood at the top of the spiral tower, he looked down on the entire Siboya world, scanning one soul golem after another, this being called the master by the soul golems seemed to be able to see the superpowers in each garden, he said in a soft voice: "I have tried many times, and each time I have failed...... The unrestrained superpower spreads infinitely, and everyone can have the power to almost destroy the world - in this power is barely enough, order is just a piece of paper, and anyone can easily tear it apart. ”
At this point, Fatroorvi seemed to be caught in a memory, he turned his head and looked at Joshua again, the faint man seemed to laugh, but he didn't feel the slightest smile: "Anyone can kill anyone, no one can stop anyone, anyone can cause world-class chaos, they can create zombie viruses, activate metal machinery, they can infinitely breathe fire and burn entire continents, infinitely create ice to fill the entire world - they can even control with one eye and enslave the souls of other superpowers." Their very existence is to destabilize the world. ”
"At that time, everyone proclaimed themselves gods...... They play with the laws of the world, fight each other, destroy everything in the past, ordinary people who have not yet awakened are wiped out like grass, order and society are as fragile as eggshells, I have seen with my own eyes that our civilization has turned into chaos, where it is full of ugliness, ugliness, ugliness. ”
"They want to control the world."
Standing at the top of the tower, Fatroorvi said, "And I can only kill them all." ”
The cold and cruel words were said by this man in the most simple and calm tone, but Joshua could hear the helplessness of the other party from the deepest part of his heart.
The fighters can only remain silent about this.
Unlike the world of Microve and many worlds with extraordinary powers, the situation in the world of Siberia is too special...... It is located in the center of the Void Maelstrom, and it will withstand the impact of steel particles thousands of times greater than that of ordinary worlds, and countless powerful and weak powers will spread endlessly in this world that originally did not have any supernatural powers, staging a living national awakening.
If I have to describe it, it's like every supernatural person has a pistol that is extremely hidden, or even an invisible nuclear bomb launch button, and every ordinary person can get this pistol and button at any time - as long as one of these people goes crazy, he can easily kill hundreds of people, destroy a street, or even an entire city.
This is completely different from the world of Microf, which requires hard training to obtain extraordinary power, the acquisition of superpowers is too random and too easy, no one has a clear understanding of power, let alone awe, and for superpowers who are ordinary people who just have authority, their defenses are too weak, so that even a weak superpower can kill a powerful superpower in the case of a sneak attack, even if the other party has early warning and foresight.
As long as there is wisdom and ambition, then for the world of Sibeja, order will never come.
So, there is only one way.
It didn't take Fattaloorvi to say, Joshua himself could guess the next development.
Because the birth of superpowers is too random and completely unpredictable, and no matter what superpowers are, they are a great hidden danger to the fragile order, so Fatroorvi created the existence of soul puppets based on the technology of the old Siberian civilization and the newly discovered wonderful things such as souls. It was only a matter of time for the time-pushers who did not grow old and die to learn and develop various soul technologies, and the question of time was not a problem for Fatrolvi, who had been refining the construction of soul golems for generations in a stationary world and using them as the basis of his own order.
Fatroorvi cleansed the whole world, he killed all the threatening superpowers, leaving only the most obedient ordinary people, he imprisoned these humans in a closed garden completely managed by soul puppets, and brainwashed them with advanced soul technology, and marked the thought steel seal - he sealed the imagination and associative abilities of all Sibeya, making the originally intelligent Sibeya creatures inferior to beasts, only working, sleeping, working, and sleeping.
In this way, even if an ordinary person suddenly awakens to a superpower that is powerful enough to destroy the whole world in an instant, then without any self-knowledge and without any wisdom, he can only live as a livestock and become a part of the farm, while the soul puppet is not like a human being, will not show favoritism, and can eliminate all possible hidden dangers.
Joshua knew that this was by no means what Fatroorvi did in the first place, he must have failed many times, thought about it for many years, and improved again and again, before finally creating such a suffocating order...... But even so, Joshua found it difficult to understand.
"That doesn't explain why you're breeding the Sibejas and harvesting their souls."
The warrior said in a deep voice, "You don't need to keep those people alive at all...... You hate the superpowers, you hate the Sibeyas—why don't you kill them all? You have no reason to keep them alive! ”
Compared to other unexplainable things, for Joshua, this is the biggest doubt.
Fatlolvi, there is no reason to maintain order at all. His sister was killed by a surprise attack by the superpowers, his parents were so badly injured that they died a few years later, and a few years later, his comrades were wiped out due to the betrayal of the world government, everything that this man cherished was destroyed at the hands of the Siboyans, whether it was the superpowers or ordinary people, there was a great enmity of life and death for him, he had no reason to maintain order in this world, and he should be the happiest to be the one for the destruction of the Siboyan civilization.
Fatroorvi should have ruined this world a long time ago, leaving no room for anything, how could he go to great lengths to establish order and construct a system that could last for countless years?
"There is only one explanation."
Faced with the time mover who had not replied so far, or even closed his eyes, Joshua controlled his puppet body and said in a mechanical voice without any ups and downs: "You need a lot of souls—to be precise, you need astronomical amounts of energy—to do something...... Yes, you need an endless soul. ”
Speaking of this, Joshua paused, and then said slowly, "Come and reverse time." ”
"Just like you did when you turned my attack before."
With these words, the whole world fell silent again, above the sky, more than 1,600 soul stars began to flicker with uncertain light, and the spiral tower under Fatrolvi also began to flow with dark blue light, Joshua did not rush to continue to speak, he just stared at Fatrolvi, and after a while, the huge puppet said: "But ......"
"But, I know."
At this time, Fatrolvi finally spoke, he reopened his eyes, in his eyes, the clockwise rotating hands had completely stopped, and the ruler of time said calmly: "Time is an illusion. ”
The Master of Time said as if to himself: "Time is only a scale of material motion, and the scale cannot be reversed." ”
"I know that more than a thousand years have passed, and even thousands of years have passed if I count the time I have been stagnant. Of course I know that...... Time does not exist at all, it is just the process of material movement, my time stops, it is just the movement of all things. ”
"The so-called reversal of time is just a simple reversal of the movement of matter, you break free from my stop, and it is precisely because the power of your explosion exceeds the degree of my condensation, it is extremely simple, I actually figure it out now."
Fatroorvi didn't care to tell the truth about his ability, because he knew that the reason why Joshua didn't do it at the beginning was because he hadn't seen through the truth of his ability, and he didn't do it in the first place because he didn't understand the warrior's method of breaking free of his ability.
But now, it is clear that both sides have seen through each other's methods...... This means that the peaceful delay of each other is over, and the real battle is about to come.
"One last question, Fatlolvi."
In the bright world, the flames were burning, and the huge steel puppet wantonly absorbed the energy in the surrounding atmosphere, shattering the surrounding stagnant dark world, and Joshua's voice, who was ready to go all out, became thick and grand at this time, and he said in a voice with a rumbling echo: "You are engaged in this kind of brainwashing in order to save your world, in order to go against the flow of time." Do you do soul farming? ”
"Of course not."
The sound of no fluctuations came from the top of the tower, countless incomparably complex lines began to spread in the atmosphere, and a ring of runes appeared behind him, and Fatrolvi's gaze was like a solid rock that had not changed for thousands of years: "What saves the world has nothing to do with me." ”
The Time Ruler said indifferently, "I just want to make this world mine—what I want it to be." ”
"yes, it's a pity."
Seeing that the other party also began to exert all his strength, Joshua's voice gradually turned cold: "I originally wanted to say that knowledge and power should be used to build ladders, not fences...... There are countless worlds in the multiverse where supernatural forces can live in symbiosis with ordinary people, and you can go out and take a look...... But now it seems that you have simply given up. ”
Because he couldn't find the answer, he stopped in despair, and even began to delusion that the reverse current of time began to stop moving forward.
"Stop talking nonsense, Adventist, you don't understand anything and don't know ...... I have found the right path. ”
For the warrior who clearly showed his killing intent, Fatrolvi's hand suddenly condensed an incomparably heavy silver python scepter, he stood with the staff, releasing a majestic majestic aura from top to bottom, and above the sky, 1,600 soul stars shone brightly, instantly dyeing the entire world into daylight.
In the eyes of the timekeeper, the hands began to spin: "I am order, I am the world." ”
"I judge all men and all things."
