Soul of Burning Steel

At the beginning of the war around the world of Mykrov, the Sixth Abyss, Molten Sea Hell.

In the deepest hall of the Valley of Tears Fortress, only the Shadow Demon sat on his throne, quietly watching the flames in his hands.

It was a blazing white flame, which burned silently, without relying on air or fuel. This flame seemed to be born out of nothing, continuously generating holy power from the void, and the pure black demon placed the fire on himself. In the palm of the hand, it can be seen that when the dark energy of the devil’s palm touches the white firelight, it is as if boiling hot oil meets water, and countless black smoke and white mist gush out from the place where the two touch, filling the whole hall.

If there are the High Priests of the Seven Gods Church here, they will definitely be shocked, because this is the completed form of the Seven Gods Church’s supreme secret magic technique "Immortal Sacred Flame"-this white flame looks like It is fragile, but it is actually connected to the void, and it can burn forever and ever. The chaos and evil being hit by it will be burned forever, until honest repentance or complete purification.

But now, the Demon King of the Sixth Abyss, the Lord of the Abyss, Goliath, holding such a holy fire, fell into deep thought. Although it seemed to be watching the flame in his hand, his thoughts had actually drifted back to the long past. .

That was a long, long time ago, so long as it was not a demon yet, it had not yet become the lord of the Sixth Abyss, it had not yet become the king of the demons who ruled all demons.

The gluttonous king at that time was nothing but an abyss worm that awakened around the ruins of an ancient worm civilization.

The cold acid rain hit the roof of the ancient laboratory exposed from the depths of the mountains due to rain erosion. As the internal circulation of energy that had been maintained for thousands of years ended due to the collapse of the circuit, the ancient laboratory was finally forced to end its silent state. , Once again opened the door to an era that he closed, and in the deepest part of the laboratory, a hibernation warehouse that had been sealed for a long time opened, but in it, an experimental worm was slowly straightening his body, and it opened. Open your eyes, look around, staring at this world that has been thousands of years away from its original time.

And at that time, an abyss worm entered from the broken gate, it got into the laboratory, and then pounced on this perhaps the last normal worm in the world, and it was difficult to move because of hibernation. Shi snapped its throat.

The green blood splashed, and the sound of swallowing raw meat and eating viscera could be heard.

That was the first time that Goliath swallowed a complete intelligent life soul, and it was also the first time that it produced the concept of "self".

That was also the first time it swallowed the "kind"

The vast majority of demons are just survivors of the destroyed civilizations in the past. They were transformed into extreme environments, just like the worm civilizations destroyed in the civil war. Their super weapons destroyed the ecological cycle of the entire world. A few survivors struggled for survival in the winter that lasted for hundreds of years. They forgot all knowledge and fell into beasts. Thousands of years have passed, and the harsh environment has caused the beast to mutate and alienate time and time again, and finally become a hideous and bloodthirsty monster...Gradually, the worm man lost his name full of glory and pride, and became the mouth of other civilizations. 'demon'.

The so-called abyssal worms are just the original means of reproduction of the worm civilization...Before they had civilization, they originally scattered their eggs in the world, watching the race that luck bred offspring. After having civilization, they learned to collectively cultivate offspring. Nor would he throw his own eggs at will, allowing the worms as larvae to squirm around. But in the current Sixth Abyss, no demonic tribe has this concept.

At that time, Goliath didn’t know what would happen to him later, and he didn’t know what he needed to bear. As a greedy demon, he was just fortunate that he found a large piece of delicious and extremely weak raw meat to make him full. It took several days and completed the first transformation. It was not until he became the Lord of the Abyss and the King of Demons. After knowing what happened in this world in the past, Goliath realized that he might have killed the last normal worm in the world.

But so what? The era of bug people has long passed, they have destroyed themselves, and no one can condemn anyone, let alone demons.

Now, hundreds of years after that full stomach, the devil king is meditating-at this time it is not thinking about the'destruction' or'conquer' that the demons desire, but thinking about the'future' and'hope' '.

Is it funny? Not really. Even the greedy Demon King... No, it is precisely because it is the greedy Demon King that Goliath is thirsting for the future and hope that is never possible in the abyss.

After all, in the abyss, the hope of the future is more rare and incredible than absolute strength and victory in war. The most innocent demons dare not ask for it. It is precisely because of this that the devil fell into a long silence.

Under the rule of the abyss lord Goliath for hundreds of years, the already unified demons no longer drink blood or fight each other in chaos. They regain the basic concept of group and learn how to build cities...the army of demons follows it. The footsteps conquered other worlds, but as the power of the Sixth Abyss continued to expand, the target of plundering became fewer and stronger. The cruel and bloodthirsty demon of the past finally calmed down, and it began to think about what it should do Continue to develop a civilization of demons-not a worm, but a civilization of demons.

If we continue to wage wars like this, one day, the Sixth Abyss will hit an iron plate that they cannot defeat. A civilization stronger than them will completely destroy the molten sea and inferno, leaving all demons dead without a place to bury their bodies. This is not the case. Just kidding, Goliath knows that there is no shortage of strong in the multiverse. Even the world of Mycroft, which was originally the target, has recently shown great potential and strength. This is proof.

So give up the war and develop with peace of mind?

It's impossible.

The shadow of the devil raised his head, and a map of the Sixth Abyss appeared in his mind—the world resources it possessed were extremely barren, and the poisonous gas and the roaring gale everywhere strangling the lives of its people, in this desperate apocalypse , Even demons are difficult to survive. If it hadn’t been for the plundering of a large amount of supplies in recent wars, a large number of monsters and demons would have killed each other because of hunger, and a civil war spread to the entire abyss, and this is also the vast majority of the abyss. Normally, the remaining lives swallow each other until the entire world is completely dead, just like the Seventh Abyss.

Thinking of this, even if it is cruel and ruthless like Goliath, he can only be silent and unable to speak.

Is it to use the few remaining resources to build a school, so that the next generation of demons will have a glimmer of hope and order, or to concentrate all resources on a powerful man like the demon prince, and let these existences be the main body to continue civilization? For the demons who are too old to complete their labor, are they cruelly expelled into the wilderness to fend for themselves, or set up a concentration camp to properly place these old but experienced demons?

A more extreme question... In order to survive, can corpses of the same kind be eaten? For the continuation of the offspring, can the corpses of the parents be reused? Should we respect the dead and build tombs that can provide them with boring psychological care, or should the dead be treated as a resource that can be reused and sent to the canteen ruthlessly?

Have long been accustomed to devouring each other, can the demons who kill each other really possess morality and conscience, picking up the civilized norms that have long ceased to exist from the garbage dump thousands of years ago?

The answer is no.

Now is the end, and here is the abyss—this is the **** that all legends hate and perish, and the land of eternal perdition, so there is no mercy or redemption here.

This is the problem that the civilization that reappears after the destruction of the original world order has to face.

The reason why demons are demons is not because they think, but because they can only be demons. Worm people are destined to fall. Under such doomsday, as long as life wants to survive, they must give up all rationality and morality, because in addition to being alive, They cannot expect more.

Only the shadow demon watched the pulsating flame in front of him. The flame was white and hot enough to melt the steel and make the rock boil. It contained incomparably holy power that could make the ignited Extreme Demon howl in agony and die for seven days and seven nights. , But it can also purify sewage and revive the contaminated land, but Goliath silently extinguished the flame in his hand-it didn't want to see this, and the holy fire had no effect on the recovery of the abyss. What it wants is another.

The other one can reignite the world, satisfy its greed, and allow the devil to have the most precious flame of the "future and hope" in the abyss~www.novelmtl.com~ Of course, if one day, the devil can reach them. The step they want, then their feet must be the bones of other civilizations full of resentment and wailing. The rebirth of a race will open the way with the deaths of hundreds of other races, and the rise of a civilization will inevitably cut off hundreds of others. The hope of civilization, who can criticize whose cruelty and ruthlessness? Who is it that sacrifices, who is it that loses everything, who is crying in destruction? Goliath doesn't care about these. It is a demon, it is a demon king, it is the master of the sixth abyss.

"I want to get it."

Goliath whispered to himself, and then, its voice changed from a single voice to an accent as if millions of people uttered in unison: "We must get it."

Accompanied by this sound, a wave of twisted space echoed behind the demon king, seeming to be returning.

The Will of the Abyss is with its lord. Its wish is the wish of ‘it’.

This is their wish.

At this moment, the two demon princes who carried the hope of the demon king were facing their fears in the abyss of the blood moon.
