Soul of Burning Steel

[Before the legendary strongman arrived, another four nights passed, and the same situation would occur every night, the light flickered, the dark fog spread, and the magic power surged, the earth opened the channel, and on the fourth time all After slaying the gushing monsters, everyone in the Expeditionary Army finally couldn't restrain their curiosity about the unknown, and decided to select a few strong men to enter the passage of the earth to find out the truth contained in it.

Four strong men were selected, and they walked into the crack of the earth together. It was beyond everyone's expectations. It was not what people imagined. This is not a passage leading to the underground monster lair, but a naturally formed stable space-time passage. As long as the magic power is abnormal and there are powerful waves, then this passage to another world will naturally open.

Through the passage of time and space, the four of them came to a desolate plain where countless monsters thrived. The selection is naturally strong, and the waves of monsters are smashed to pieces as if hitting the hardest reef.

It took several hours to clean up the surrounding area. When the four strong men were dealing with the remaining spoils, they discovered traces of civilization.

It was a huge and hard black stone tablet, engraved with strange words that no one could understand, but as long as you stared at him, you could automatically understand the meaning.

The stele narrates such a story—a story of the decline of civilization:

The civilization living in this world is a civilization that is proficient in alchemy and magic tools. Their power and technology are extremely powerful, and they have been able to cross the world barrier to various other worlds for travel and trading. The huge void fleet sails in multiple worlds Among them, the name of this civilization was spread throughout the multiverse, but when crossing the void to explore the unknown world, an indescribable monster attacked their fleet in the void.

Although the fleet worked hard and finally repelled the monster, no one noticed that the seeds of evil had been buried.

On the day of the return voyage, when the fleet returned to their own world with special products traded from other worlds, a monster suddenly appeared from the body of someone in the fleet. It was extremely ferocious and attacked the crew of the void spaceship it was on. , and the magic damage caused by magic equipment does not seem to have any effect on it, and this civilization itself has not produced superhumans with very strong individual strength, only magic technology equipment suitable for everyone, so, when monsters are killed At that time, only five people in that void spaceship survived.

The matter should have come to an end like this, and the danger of the void monster did make everyone feel scared, but the matter is far from over.

No one thought that the people on that ship were not the only ones who were parasitized. In fact, people were parasitized on almost every airship in the fleet. It broke open the body of its own host, and then attacked others while screaming.

Despair spreads like a plague. In this civilization's native land, evil has come, and the monsters of chaos have swept everything.

In less than half a year, relying on their terrifying parasitic and combat abilities, these monsters destroyed the entire civilization, and the social structure was destroyed. Countless monsters besieged the few remaining fortresses, trying to drag out the life in them, and then tear them apart. Swallow it.

With fear and awe, anger and disgust, the remaining survivors of civilization called these monsters "Aragami".

The resistance did not stop. After a long time of fighting, the survivors who became familiar with the source of the opponent's power began to plan a counterattack. The remaining alchemists used the materials left by the monsters after they died, and their powerful enough to navigate freely in the void. Alchemy has created a weapon. This weapon forms an energy core through a spell seal, and then inscribes a part of the user's body with runes to form a construction link. The power in the monster material is collected through a complicated magic circle and transmitted to the user. Or, let the person who holds this weapon gain strength and physical strength comparable to the Aragami. In this way, even if he is just a mortal, he can kill the Aragami with this weapon.

Those who have obtained this power can use this weapon that can easily tear apart the body of the Rage God to kill monsters, and then obtain more materials and make more weapons-this is the prototype of the God Machine.

They are almost successful, and the people in the remaining fortresses all have this kind of weapon. They keep counterattacking the gods, trying to restore the glory of civilization and rebuild society.

But the reality cannot be so smooth.

A day like night, black clouds enveloped the sky, and an inexplicable cold wave descended from the void outside the sky. Under the desperate gaze of the survivors, the cold wind whistling from the void froze the sky and the ocean together. Ice rain covered the whole world, and uncountable wild gods poured in from countless time and space channels, and the outer wall of the world was slowly torn apart by some force...

An indescribable monster, a certain void god descended.

The power of the weapon comes from the corpse of the Rage God, from that indescribable existence. A weapon without self-will cannot resist that inexplicable call. At this moment, all survivors lose their power and become mortals again.

In the end, the tsunami-like Aragami swallowed everything up, leaving only these steles made by sages who worried about the loss of knowledge and history, recording the history of this civilization and the method of making this weapon. 】

"..."

Seeing this, Joshua frowned. He walked to the window of the study, opened the window, let the cold wind blow into the room, and calmed his mind.

This plot is a little familiar.

In the fourth edition of Continent of Disputes, the abyss opens, demons invade, evils descend, and chaos spreads. Undoubtedly, it is almost exactly the same as what happened in this world. Fortunately, although Continent of Disputes does not have the level of civilization that is capable of navigating in the void The world is high, but the individual strength is far beyond, and there are many gods guarding it. Although they often fight among themselves, they will definitely join forces to fight against the evil gods of the void from outside.

That civilization is also very unlucky. It encountered a monster that completely restrained itself. There is no doubt that the civilization and technology of the destroyed world far surpassed that of the Mycroft Continent. If a war is launched, the world where Joshua is must lose, but The wild gods who could destroy them were easily killed by the Imperial Exploration Army-this is the difference caused by the different directions of civilization progress.

As for the evil gods, that is beyond Joshua's familiarity. In the game, some weak gods, especially the tribal gods, only have the strength of the legendary level, but among the void gods, whether it is evil gods or other existences, they are generally Possesses the upward strength of [God].

even higher...

Shaking his head, Joshua continued to look at the secret letter.

【The four strong men are the ancestors of the Radcliffe family, the Vlad family, the Scarlet family, and the dwarf iron body clan. They decided to temporarily suspend the exploration and transport the stone tablet back to the original world. After the empire learned of the news, it even directly opened a direct portal and sent a whole regiment of mages.

Under the leadership of the legendary mage Kabala Chaos, the big seal that once sealed the cracks in the abyss sealed the space-time channel, but what is disturbing is that the power behind this space-time channel is even stronger than the abyss, even the seal can It can't be blocked at all, as long as there is a tide of magic power, the tide of wild gods will definitely start. Although most of them will be blocked in the narrow passage of time and space by seals, there will still be some powerful wild gods who will escape.

In order to prevent this from happening and better destroy the Rage God, with the help of the legendary mage Kabala, four strong men recreated the weapons on the stele.
