Soul of Burning Steel

Vol 7 Chapter 4: Karlis's decision

The crystal obelisk, in the hall of recovery.

Everything in the hall is imprisoned by the substantive holy light, as if time has been suspended, whether it is the guard of the Ashes who want to pull out the thermal sword at the waist, or the grand inquisitor who wants to break free from this bondage. Lorne, were all suppressed by a gentle force, they were not harmed, but they were completely deprived of their freedom of movement.

In mid-air, it was fully recovered, and all the chaos in the surrounding sensing range was completely cleared of Eagle, and it slowly landed on the ground in this way.

He raised his hand, then frowned slightly.

"I'm not used to it...this body is too young, right?"

This body is probably only sixteen...no, fifteen years old at most. Although this age is indeed the time when the relative vitality of the mind and the body is the highest, and the reaction ability is the most sensitive, it is just right for the priests-but for the legendary strong, the body is only the appearance, and they are the peak no matter when and where. Period, there is absolutely no need to be so young.

"But it's okay. After all, I have been resurrected. These are all trivial things."

Putting his hand down, the blond boy shaped Eagle touched his chin. Unfortunately, there was no familiar white beard there, but he still thought: "It's strange to say, I clearly remember that even my soul was brought close to the saint. Cthulhu’s attack was shattered-the soul fragments were all infested by chaos. Logically speaking, the seven gods could not save me back. I am afraid that only the power of the legendary saints to resurrect the seven gods can force me in that state. Bring back the world of the living..."

But even the sages of the time, if they want to do this kind of thing, they will definitely have to work hard.

"Joshua, is this guy already so strong?"

Lifting his head, Iger looked around, this familiar silver crystal, simple internal structure and decoration, and the familiar, slanted and lovely handwriting of the silver fairy, he couldn't help showing a faint smile: "It's time to Say thank you-although it is more than 120,000 late."

By restoring the remaining information in the beam of light, Eagle knew that this crystal obelisk was the high-level resurrection device for the many civilized heroes in the body of the former evil **** that Joshua revived from the dead. At the same time, he also knew that this In order to resurrect the crystal obelisk, it took more than one hundred thousand years to glue his soul from countless tiny to unbelievable fragments to the point where it was now exactly the same as before. To be precise, it was twelve. Nine thousand six hundred years.

This number, even for the legendary extreme powerhouse, is a very large number-the total time he has been alive is not as large as a fraction of this number, but he is right This is not a panic, because the obelisk exists and it can be resurrected, it proves that Joshua is still there. Mycroft civilization—or at least, the successor of their civilization, all things of order, still exist. .

As long as order still exists, it will be the same. One hundred and twenty thousand years have passed. He does not expect everything to be the same as before. The familiar things and people have not changed. He just hopes that the fire of order is still burning and human beings can still enjoy it. Its warm shining, you can live a happy life.

"However, these little guys, what's the matter?"

After sorting out his thoughts, those who have come back from the dead always have a lot of emotion. Eagle turned his head to look at the people of the Ashes who were imprisoned in place by him, and the one who awakened himself in Mycroft with a silver goblin tone... …Uh, half-blood silver goblin? Why is this again? Is it possible that intermarriage between humans and fairies has become the norm?

"...What's the matter with you?"

With a move of Eagle's mind, he untied the holy light that had imprisoned everyone-of course, no one dared to make any changes. Everyone on the scene was not a fool, facing someone who was at least a legendary high-level, maybe even stronger. The prehistoric powerhouses, not to mention that they had bad intentions before, even the well-intentioned Alpha, now they dare not pant.

"Let me change another question-why are you in this crystal obelisk? What about the guarding silver goblins, what about Joshua's defenses? Also, what era are you now, and which civilization do you belong to? Power?"

Iger could see that most of the people present could not understand Macrov's language, so in the following words, he used spiritual communication to communicate directly. In order to prevent the opponent from being pressured by his spirit to think, he also deliberately helped the audience. Man blessed an extremely effective iron will. But even so, because the questions Iger asked were too broad, and many people who were present didn't understand the words, I didn't know where to start at all.

The whole hall was once again caught in an awkward cold field.

And what broke this cold field was a female voice full of vitality and vitality.

"Iger, rather than asking these ignorant juniors, let me tell you."

Hearing the remaining familiar voices, Alpha immediately raised his head subconsciously. He looked at the stairs in the far hall where two silver-haired and red-eyed women were walking towards the center of the hall.

Although it was a slow step, in fact, every time they took a step, they made a short leap. It didn't take long for the two women to come to the center of the recovery hall.

"Miss Karlis!"

Struggling to get up-but because he was first shocked by Gron's momentum and then shocked by Iger's pressure, Alpha, who wanted to stand up, almost didn't break his teeth, but at the moment he almost touched the ground. , A gentle force held up Alpha, and Iger and Karlliss shot at the same time, gently lifting Alpha up.

"Sorry, Alpha, you have suffered so much-but now is not the time to explain. Later, I will tell you the truth of all this."

After patted Alpha's shoulder in the air, Karlis turned his head and looked at Gron and the guards of the Ashes on the other side, who was on the other side. She glanced, and then turned her head indifferently. , Looking at Eagle, Karlis shrugged: "Remember me? The Pope of Mrs. Mike Rowe."

"It's the predecessor-now I guess God knows how many predecessors it was."

After correcting Carliss’ words, Iger looked at the two silver-haired women in front of him, his expression gradually becoming puzzled: "As for you...your breath...yes, I used to be with Joshua a lot. That steel python? And you..."

With that said, his perspective shifted, looking at Mikrov, Iger's expression became astonished: "You, you are..."

"Didn't you children who joined hands to seal me?"

Once the steel python, now the royal bachelor of the Royal Academy, Mikerov stepped forward, opened her chest openly, gave Eagle a hug, and then she skillfully raised her hand and stroked the other's cheek: "Recognized? Huh... you have such a tender face! No wonder you always appeared in front of the public as an old man, otherwise there is really no majesty-it is hard to imagine that you looked like this when you were young!"

With a thought, the Holy Light shuddered and broke free from Mykrov’s embrace. At this time, Igel’s face was completely shocked: "The mother of all things-your chaotic erosion, is also completely eliminated? Yes, After such a long time has passed, technological progress should be made... But what's the matter, how did the steel python appear in the form of a human? And, at the beginning, you were not integrated with Joshua..."

Wait, it's not surprising that Joshua can resurrect oneself, and naturally more people can be resurrected. Perhaps it is this method that can get rid of the steel python Mikerov. Then the chaotic erosion that goes deep into the essence?

But...this change is too great...Igel’s memory is actually still immersed in the battles of the past. In order to protect Joshua’s and the new world, the moment he was shattered by the attack of the holy evil god, he had previously Faced with his resurrection, the peace of sleeping for 100,000 years was only due to the extraordinary determination of the legendary powerhouse.

But now, all kinds of strange things have appeared one after another-the two rivals who appeared in the obelisk of Joshua, one of them is Karlis's'disciple', and the former fused with Joshua. The steel pythons are now separated and transformed into human forms, and they obviously have their purpose when they came to the place where they were resurrected.

There are so many things that can't be solved with a firm will, and no one can keep calm.

"I'm not talking nonsense, Eagle, I'm afraid the situation now is much worse than you think."

Slightly squinted, from the corner of her eyes, she glanced at the members of the Ashes who were silent and standing still. She deliberately linked with Igel's spirit, but she still said loudly in the light chaser's language: " Joshua Van Radcliffe, the creator of the "Three Realms and Nine Heavens" and the holy father of all living beings, had already used Out of the power that surpassed one's own limit and fell into divine destruction, submerged in the great source."

"Now, we are all in his internal world-he used to seal the place close to the holy evil **** at the expense of himself."

The words in her mouth are not as fast as mental communication. When Karlis finished speaking those few words, she had already informed Yige about all the news and memories she had received in recent years. Er, I could see that Eagle, who was originally calm on the surface, now opened his eyes wide and his expression was incredible.

"How could it be-Joshua, was actually destroyed?!"

He raised his head subconsciously and looked at the top of the crystal hall. Eagle used his holy light to try to corrode the crystal obelisk. The result was indeed corroded, but it was quite laborious. The crystal seemed fragile, but actually It is the wall of eternal immortality-this is enough to prove that this crystal obelisk contains Joshua's power in the distance, otherwise, even if it is the body of other legendary limits, as long as he is rigidly connected, it is enough to change the speed of light constant The Holy Light will inevitably be hit hard.

"His power is still...but,"

After confirming this, Iger shook his head. He still couldn't believe it: "Although I was shocked in my heart, my reason made me believe what you said... In fact, I had already guessed Joshua’s crazy plan. Fortunately... But in that case, how did I resurrect? And you."

As he said this, he said in a puzzled tone: "According to your words, aren't you also drawn to Dayuan and destroyed with Joshua?"

"The reason for your resurrection is actually easier to guess.'Resurrect all the victims' should be one of Joshua’s last commands to his body, and you happened to die around Joshua’s core world. The soul fragments are collected completely, just a little bit broken. Resurrection should be more convenient, but it will take a little longer."

Karlis patiently answered the old Pope’s doubts, but she also seemed to be puzzled by his last question: "Actually, I don’t know. At the beginning, it was true that Mikerov and I, as well as all the steel pythons, Indeed, he entered the Divine Destruction together with Joshua-he persisted a little longer, but not too long. In short, we should all be sure to die in theory, but now, we all appear in this'Three Realms Nine Heavens', this It should be in Joshua's inner world."

"Actually, Karlis and I, in the past few decades, have gradually awakened and regained the memory of being a steel python."

At this moment, Mikroff took the conversation, her tone was rather lazy, but she could hear it seriously: "How to say? This feeling is very strange, I feel that I was in a place that was extremely warm and peaceful for the last moment. , But in the next instant, I became the Mycroft of this life, and by the way, I remembered the memory of my previous life-this kind of confused feeling is not personal experience and will not be understood."

Karlis nodded and expressed her approval of Mikrov's words. She said: "Actually, Igel, the obelisk you are on was actually activated only in the past ten years-in the long past. , It’s always been a mountain. It wasn’t until 17 years ago that Mykrov and I detected the unusual bursts of the power of steel, and found this obelisk."

"Then, why don't you wake me up sooner?"

Iger listened quietly to the other party's narration, and everything that happened now was weird and bizarre, but that was the fact, and it was not a bad thing. However, he is always confused and unable to understand: "If I had woken up seventeen years earlier, we would have joined hands long ago."

"Permission denied."

Karlis was succinct, she turned her head and looked confused. She didn't understand the alpha of what her teacher and this prehistoric man were talking about. Then she pointed to him and said, "All the silver fairies are here. In the battle of the disappearance of divine power in the world 50,000 years ago, they fought and sacrificed the endless chaos army. The only ones left voluntarily went to the heavenly sword realm and the earth axe realm to turn into divine machines to help sentient beings. All obelisks need the presence of the silver goblin to change from being'blocked' to'open'-the obelisk without the silver goblin will enter the'warning posture' and attack all unauthorised approachers. In the case of the silver fairy, it will enter an'open posture' and become a safe public facility."

"Although the power of the steel python can also play a role, it is only a'visitor authority' that can only enter and exit, and cannot be controlled. So we spent a long time looking for how many people in this world have silver. The bloodline of the goblin can be purified and returned to the ancestors, and create a new silver goblin'management authority'——As a result, it was not until Alpha’s daughter was born that I found out that there was exactly one beside us. Unfortunately, the awakening of Alpha’s blood was also a gradual progress Process, and seventeen years ago, Mykrov and I had just awakened. We didn’t have much power. We happened to be targeted by the Ashes Order, that is, the organization of the group of people over there. We had to leave the Shining area as soon as possible and head to the Twilight Area to avoid ."

On the side, compared to Alpha because he didn’t know what Mishin, he didn’t even know what his teacher was talking about, Glorn, the Grand Inquisitor of the Ash Order, after hearing Karlis’s words, felt in his heart. The shock is almost like a magnitude twelve earthquake.

Heavenly Father-really passed away because of the war with Chaos? And what we live in now is in Heavenly Father's body?

Is this prehistoric strong man really a strong man who fought chaos together with Heavenly Father? Even, he has died, but was resurrected by Heavenly Father?

And the silver goblin...In all the ancient books of the sect, there is indeed a lot of information about this ethnic group... This peculiar race was active in the depths of the twilight zone in the age of the gods, and they always settled in the mountains-also In other words, settle around these hidden obelisks! Because silver elves don't need to move, and they rarely go to the Shining Area, just stick to their hometown, so they are not well-known, and they don't have many deeds.

Really unexpected, this mysterious race in the past is actually the controller of these large crystal obelisks? And Alpha, who has the blood of this race, has the authority to control all of this?

That being the case, their purpose...

At this moment, Iger is still communicating with Karlis and Mycroft. He already knows roughly everything that happened after he died, as well as the world they live in today, most of the customs and history of the "Three Realms and Nine Heavens".

"In short, Joshua's will should still be in the great source. Although we have returned for unknown reasons, he has not yet recovered."

Summarizing the meaning of the two steel pythons roughly, Igel said solemnly: "And what you want to do is to wake up Joshua as much as possible-of course, before that, first awaken other images as much as possible. A resurrected person like me has enough power to accumulate against the existing world order."

"Just as you think. Moreover, it's not just the resurrected ones-the Heavenly Sword Realm and the Earth Axe Realm in the Three Realms. We guess that those two worlds should be the bodies of Hotaru and Rin, and they are probably asleep. We haven't awakened yet. If we can, we must wake them up first. As Joshua's weapon, part of the fusion of blood, they must have a higher authority than the silver fairy."

Karlis raised her head. She stared at the silver crystal dome, with a slight sorrow in her tone: "Anyway, we have all returned from the annihilation... This may be the back hand that Joshua prepared. The effect, or that we were accidentally involved in the great source, so we returned after a long time, but I always firmly believe that the man will never die so simply-he must be able to escape from the initial fire Come back."

"But, based on what I know about that man...If things can't be done, he might let his world give birth to a whole new world will-one that belongs to these three realms and nine days, but it is not Joshua's. The will of the world-then, let this will of the world replace him and continue the eternal battle."

This is indeed what Joshua would do. Hearing this, Iger was silent, but soon, he heard Carliss' cold words.

"But I don't allow it."

"The Joshua I want--that's Joshua, don't want to escape his responsibility! To save this multiverse, just give it to me! No matter what the cost, I must let him return!"

"Even if the price is to destroy everything that exists in this world."

Nothing can be more important than Joshua's recovery.

This is the will and determination of Karlis, it is so firm and clear, even if it is not said, everyone present can understand it.

"Anyway, in the past few decades, there have been successive restorations of ancient relics. I believe that there should be more than a few of us who restore the memories of past lives-these are opportunities."

Mykroff's tone was not rushed, she was a little more calm than Carliss: "And these opportunities require the power of this little guy, his silver goblin authority."

His gaze shifted to Alpha's body again, and he subconsciously shuddered for a moment, but soon, Iger looked at him, and Mrs. Mike Roe’s gentle eyes were like a bonfire, making him feel warmth and strength , No longer nervous and fearful.

To be honest, whether it is Mr. Karlis or the University of Mycroft, Alpha can’t understand it. At best, he can understand that the true identity of his teacher and boss is probably the reincarnation of some gods in the ancient years. , And they all know the "Father"-and now, at the moment when the stars of the Three Realms and Nine Heavens are gradually extinguishing, they want to revive the "Father" and save this multiverse.

But... what is the multiverse? Is it another name for the Three Realms and Nine Heavens?

"What should these people of the Ashes Order do?"

Turning her head, Mikrov looked at the silent cult members, her brows frowned slightly: "Have you killed?"

"No need to."

Karlis answered quickly. Although she looked indifferent and knew how the other party had been hunting down herself and others for more than ten years, she still had no plans to do so: "There is no need to kill, we still need them to lead the way to the Great God Mountain. , And where the other obelisks are located. With the authority of the Steel Python of the'Star Son', they should have used the power of many powerhouses who have not yet fully recovered and are waiting to be resurrected to make them move. The live battery of the stars...Don't touch your chin, Eagle, if we weren't here this time, you would almost be made into a light battery."

"What should this be called? Holy Light Solar?" Mycroft joked.

And just when these ancient powerhouses from the Starfall Era were joking with each other, the Ashes Order, Grand Inquisitor Gron, could no longer bear it.

——He knows that he is hostile to Karlis and others. The Ashes have been hunting them all the time.

He knew that the other party was still hesitating whether to kill them before.

He knew that these should be powerful people who came from the same age as Heavenly Father, and were so old that they could not imagine. I am afraid they did not regard them as ordinary light chasers of the Three Realms and Nine Heavens.

He all knows-but Gronn still has to speak, this is about saving the world, so he must come forward-this is his responsibility as a member of the Ashes Order.

"What era are you guys from? It's really hard for me to imagine this kind of thing, but it must be far away. Your origins are older than the history of light chasers."

Walking forward slowly, even in the face of the coercion of a few legendary powerhouses, Glown still gritted his teeth and refused to take a step back. He hoarse his throat and yelled in a low voice: "But, whether you know before or not Knowing, are you acquaintances--now, you are all a part of this world, aren't you?" You are all located in this'Three Realms and Nine Heavens'... Do you all know the current state of this world? ! "

"It... it's going to be destroyed..."

Eagle did not release his momentum to suppress Gron, but Karlis and Mikerov did not intend to bring each other closer, so when Gron walked forward more than ten meters, he could no longer get close. The four people in the office, and this is a strong body, full of air in daily speech, and the spirit is not like an elderly white-haired old man, and his tone has begun to choke a little: "Aren't you also living in this world? No matter what you are. What do you think of the Order, what do you think of me-whatever you think is fine, but if you have other ways to save the world, can you tell me?"

"Really, no matter what we do, we will do it..."

"We beg you!"

The other guards of the order also knelt to the ground at this moment, and shouted in unison: "We will definitely do it-no matter what the price is!"

Even the hostile parties can hear the sincerity and determination in the other party's words.

Seeing Glorn kneeling on the spot, tears streaming down his face, just begging himself to say the'how to save the world', and all the guards kneeling behind him, Erlis was silent for a while, and then couldn't help sighing. Sighed.

"That's why I don't want to kill you... But, speaking of it, it's really cruel."

At this time, the old Steel Python did not use light-by-light language. She closed her eyes and said in Mykrov language, "Although you don’t understand, Gron, your Ashes’ Order did it at the beginning. Is indeed correct-50,000 years ago, many steel pythons had not yet awakened, and many waiting for the resurrection were still repairing, just when Joshua's return was far away, and we did not return from the source. At that time, it was you who continued the flames, maintained the center of these three realms and nine days, and the remaining warmth of Joshua’s core engine, allowed this world to continue to exist—your land did indeed save the world and set the stage for it. It’s the foundation today."

"But now, it's different-we have all returned, and although the possibility of Joshua's recovery is slim, it is not impossible. And our goal is not to save this dying'Three Realms Nine Heavens'. ', to save the world... Rather, what I want to do is to destroy it and extinguish all its flames.

"And only in this way, the'core engine' of'Joe World' that has stopped running a long time ago can be'restarted' after a complete shutdown-and only at that time, when the warrior's body is reactivated, we can There is such a possibility, to wake him up."

This is a very helpless thing.

The entire Three Realms and Nine Heavens, the core of the Continent of Steel, is in essence the'core engine' of Joshua that stopped working-after 120,000 years after the warrior gods were destroyed, all the chaos that was powerful enough were destroyed. And the core engine had already stopped running because of losing its goal, which caused the entire continent of steel to cool rapidly, and the infinite stars were extinguished one after another.

In order to maintain the survival of the world, the Ashes use the power of the Saint Son of Stars, the Iron Python and some obelisks, who are waiting to be resurrected. With the increase of the obelisks, they move the endless stars and maintain the shining region The light, but also maintains the core engine-the remaining temperature of the black superstar. This allows the world to continue to exist, but it also keeps the core engine from being able to completely cool down and ‘restart’.

As a fusion with Joshua in the past, fighting the Steel Python together, Carliss knew well about the structure and working principle of Joshua's internal body, and this was the way she came up with it.

"Only when the old flame is completely extinguished can we ignite a new and vigorous fire again... We are not strong enough, far from achieving the best of both worlds, and if I choose, I will always choose Joshua."

Karlis's tone was firm. If it was for Joshua's resurrection, she would not hesitate to sacrifice herself.

Mykroff's expression didn't matter--she knew very well that compared to a trivial nine days, some races bred by the world in Joshua's body, and the entire multiverse, needed the power of warriors more.

But Eagle was silent. He is the pope of Mrs. Mike Luo and a friend of Joshua. He sacrificed himself for Joshua, and Joshua also resurrected him. Does this choice still need to be considered? However, after all, they are all civilizations of order. If possible, the old pope will do his best to protect the light chaser when the flame goes out.

For a while, the whole hall was silent.

And Alpha on the side felt that the teacher she was familiar with had changed - she was still the teacher who was determined and daring to make choices, but her essence was no longer a bachelor and great explorer in the shining region. , That is a strong man from ancient times, who does not belong to this world's'foreigner~www.novelmtl.com~, is his choice really correct?

Alpha doesn't know, but he knows that only by following his teacher can it be possible to rescue his wife and children from the hands of the Ashes, as for the other people in this world... alas.

He, in the final analysis, is also a selfish guy...

After a long silence, it was a decisive departure.

"In this way, we act immediately-first go to other coordinates on the star chart, so that Alpha can revive other powerhouses who are waiting to be resurrected."

Turning around and walking towards the stairs of the Crystal Hall, Karlis obviously has no intention of wasting time: "Then, we will go to the Shining area to save the reincarnation of those steel pythons, and the many stars of the saints— -There are many powerhouses in the Three Realms and Nine Heavens. The Queen of Heavenly Sword and Maharaja of Demon Slayer may have obtained part of the power of Joshua’s weapons, Firefly and Rin. They both have the strength of the legendary limit, and the Ashes have almost Of all divine weapons, there must be many strong ones. If we are not enough, we may not be able to capture their headquarters."

"What then?" Following Karlis, Iger sighed, "What are we going to do after the flames are extinguished?"

"Finally, we will go to the end of this steel continent, the'frontier of the world'."

Staring straight ahead, Karl Liss said without a trace of hesitation: "The continent of steel is vast, but the'frontier of the world' is different-that is the wound that Joshua has torn out by herself, it should be the beginning. In order to seal the passage opened by many near-holy evil gods, and now, this passage has become the end of this boundless world in a certain sense. The world barrier that should have been absolutely impossible to jump over and shattered is at the most vulnerable moment when the flame is extinguished. , There should be a "gap" that can connect us to the external multiverse."
