Soul of Burning Steel

Starfall 837, the afternoon of November 3rd, Mycroft UTC, at the center of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice.

The calm Winterhold College team is being guided by a brand-new giant soldier, passing through the tall and strange steel buildings in the center of the plane.

"Here is the 'Fourth Subsidiary Calculation Matrix'."

The square Giant God Soldier looks like a huge iron block walking on two legs at first glance. A calm voice that echoes somewhat because of the magic resonance comes from its body. It is a newly added pronunciation module. Now, it is called The ancient civilization weapons, who were given the responsibility of tour guides, walked past the two buildings beside them, and then slowly explained their usefulness: "At the beginning of the design, it was originally used to calculate the weather changes inside the sacrificial ground, and the 'weather guidance method' on the side Formation' union, through fine-tuning and guiding means, reasonably maintain a suitable environment inside the plane."

The explanation time of the Colossus Soldier was just right. When it opened its mouth, the team of people happened to be facing the calculation matrix, and when it closed its mouth, the team just left the two slightly flat ancient buildings that looked like a rectangular iron box.

The entire Winter Castle team was almost silent. No one expressed shock and expectation for the ancient civilization's technology of manipulating celestial phenomena, and no one was curious about the principle of the so-called calculation matrix. It seemed that everyone in the entire Winter Castle Academy seemed to have been shocked. Can't speak, completely lost the ability to express.

— This is of course impossible.

Click, click, the sound of something opening and closing came. Corresponding to it was the magic flash from the 'information terminal'. A Academy of Coldwinterhold with glowing eyes held up his right hand, letting the information terminal on his wrist You can see all the surrounding scenes at a glance, and the images mapped by the magic power are naturally taken into it.

Proficient in editing the post name, and then uploading the magic images he took, this student wrote a brief introduction of the Giant God Soldier and his own views on these two ancient civilization buildings in less than half a minute. , and uploaded it neatly to the 'Comprehensive Section' in the 'College Forum', and a few minutes later, this post was refined, and replies appeared in an endless stream.

There is also a large magic net server in the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrificial Field, which is connected to the main body of the magic net in the world of Mycroft through the empire's warship Apocalypse in the void. Except for the long delay, everything else is as usual.

On the other side, most of the college members are doing the same thing: taking pictures, taking selfies, taking photos with friends, posting to show off, posting popular science... Some people are not interested in those ancient buildings, but are wholeheartedly shooting giant soldiers The photos were uploaded to the 'Magic Constructing Section' in the forum. Before that, dozens of posts about the Giant God Soldiers had been refined, and there were more than dozens of people who responded with praise.

[Wait, if I'm not mistaken, it's Tianchen steel alloy, right? The precious materials used to forge magic weapons above the gold level can be used to forge such a large war construct? 】

[The civilization of the last era is really extravagant...]

It can be seen that the comprehensive version is basically swiped by this group of students who came to visit the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrificial Site, and there are a variety of posts.

Under the post, there are all kinds of fancy replies, such as the anonymous post "The Shock Department is out again" "When will there be a new format" "I saw a similar format in other magazines a while ago, the shock is Will it be contagious?" There are also posts like "envy, jealousy, hate", "I wish I could go there", "worship the top student" and so on under the essence of the post.

With so much to do, who has time to lament in the real world.

Cold Winter Castle Academy sent 25 people into the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Field for sightseeing. Except for a few instructors who had already gone to the research center for inspection, the rest of the tourists were students who performed well and accumulated a lot of credits. In addition, there is also a group of people from the Moldavian Lord's Mansion, who do not occupy the places for this sightseeing tour.

Naturally, everyone in the first team and a dragon girl who ranked first in points were also among them, and what they did was no different from others—Amila and Karen were standing on top of Hei's head, They posed for a selfie together next to the dragon corner. After they finished taking the picture, Hei shook his head, letting each other laugh and slide down her neck. Then Heilong turned his head and posed for the two girls to take a picture of her.

Ivan, Nick, and Alva did not stop on the back of the black dragon, but moved together with the giant soldier, taking close-up photos of the details of this huge alchemy weapon. Together with them, there were five mages from the fourth team .

As for the dragon girl Lisa, she is sitting on the shoulder of Number One, whispering mysteriously to her big friend. There is a beautifully decorated gemstone necklace on her chest, shining with a magic smile. Light.

"Hey, number one, can you beat that giant soldier over there?"

"This kind of question is very rude." This is the complaint of the Balrog Cyndia who lives with the dragon girl. No one knows why a demon has become such a moral model. It seems that the cruel nature of the demon may be It's really just the cultivation of racial instinct plus the cruel living environment—not to mention this, Cyndia continued: "Speaking of which, did the giant soldiers have intelligence from the beginning, or did the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Field endow them with certain abilities? Thinking permission?"

Compared with those ordinary students who only pay attention to the structure of the Colossus Soldier, the Balrog, who used to be a strong man with extreme intentions, thinks more.

"Zizi..."

The size is not inferior to that of the Giant God Soldier, and even slightly better than the first number, after hearing Lisa's words, it fell into deep thought, and then it shook its head uncertainly: "Zizi, zizi Zizizi."

"Really, you haven't loaded the weapon system yet. It's really incomparable in this respect, but your energy system is stronger than the Colossus."

Lisa blinked her eyes and thought it was true. After spending so long with No. 1, she also knew that the steel element created by her teacher was extremely intelligent, but it didn't specialize in combat. The only thing that could be regarded as aggressive His ability, perhaps only the innate instinct to control dirt, rock and metal.

Although, according to her teacher, that is, the Moldavian lord whose name cannot be named, the talent and instinct of No. 1 is so powerful that it can grow rapidly to the point that it is no less than the peak of Jiyi, but he It didn't say how to use this talent to grow, and Number One's intelligence and data accumulation are far from that point, so that this huge living metal construct basically has no reliable means of attack in a sense.

Hotaru and Rin, who were sitting on the other side, were patrolling the forum, deleting those "Shocked!" ’ ‘You must watch it! ’ and the spam posts of ‘I’m not a Moldavian if I don’t retweet’, I’m still whispering something that only the siblings can hear.

"Master's energy fluctuations are becoming more and more obvious, we should be arriving soon, right?"

This is what Hotaru said. In the eyes of the silver-haired girl, light green data information flows. It is a natural phenomenon that occurs when the dedicated information terminal integrated with her performs high-speed calculations. At this time, Hotaru is observing the surrounding material world. She was keenly aware of the energy fluctuations and various information in the environment, and the gravitational force around her had undetectable distortions, which were the visions that often spilled out in the daily life of soldiers.

"Although Master Nostradamus and the others said that the master is transforming now, the situation is not quite right and it may be dangerous, but I think it's okay."

On the other side, Rin nodded and said softly: "The master himself said before that his strength has reached a limit, and after exceeding that limit, he will undergo self-transformation... Transformation is naturally dangerous. But he was ready for it."

——Even if it is preparation, it is not enough, so in addition to this, the master also has a corresponding backup.

Thinking of this, Hotaru couldn't help recalling No. 3 who was still in Moldavia, recalling the metal box that was sealed up by the soldiers and everyone in the basement of the Lord's Mansion.

No, to be precise, it should be a strangely shaped irregular octahedral metal block.

"If one day I die, or I'm lost in the void of the multiverse, and I can't come back, Ying, you just dig out this box and use the contract between us to activate it."

The silver-haired girl was terrified at the time, she shook her head and denied the possibility of the soldier's death, but her master smiled lightly, not caring about the worries of his head maid, and he said the same thing to Rin and No. 3 alone, and asked everyone agree to come down.

"Are you sure...Although it is the same 'you' as now, if you restart later, it will only be the 'past' you, not the real 'you'!"

No. 3, who seemed to know something, frowned. Although she agreed to the soldier's request, she warned him in a worried and serious tone: "Maybe for you, it doesn't matter as long as 'you' exists, but for us In terms of "you now" is unique!"

"It's better than being completely annihilated."

The black-haired man shook his head indifferently at that time, and he whispered to himself: "Speaking of which, isn't your life form similar to No. 3? The rune crystal of the main body is located in a safe secret room, and the magic power projection is sent out to work. And casual actions... Ah, the Lich seems to be similar, as a precautionary preparation, most people think the same, and I am no exception."

"Besides, I'm not afraid of death, I'm just worried that if Moldavia really loses me, it will encounter many hardships, and you will also encounter many troubles...In this case, I also want to make a little guarantee for you .”

The rest of the matter, Yingji is not particularly clear, because Miss No. 3 has been sulking since then, and it took a long time to recover, herself... the silver-haired girl didn't feel too much.

Of course she understands what her master means, and also understands the meaning of the so-called precautionary measures, but that has nothing to do with her, because there is only one master for the weapon, and she will complete the master's commission, and when the conditions are met, put the silver metal Body awakening... After that, she will naturally follow her master.

Yingying has never told anyone about her plan. At this time, she just sat on the shoulder of the first number, raised the binoculars with her right hand, looked at the central area of ​​the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrificial Ground, and then said with a rather excited tone: "Aha! I saw the brilliance of the master's steel power!"

"Where is there?" On the side, Rin also raised the binoculars in his hand, and suddenly the two siblings held up the binoculars side by side and yelled, becoming the only voice in the Winter Castle sightseeing team immersed in the forum.

At this moment, the conversation between Joshua and the ruling will of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrificial Ground was still going on.

"Joshua, although your cultivation method is peculiar, there are similar records in the database of the Glorious Era."

In the brilliance of the silver sky, peaceful and huge mental fluctuations came, and communicated with the warriors who were adapting to the incarnation: "There are many void behemoths, just like you, who constantly improve their own quality by strengthening their own quality. Strength. Most of them are monsters that are bigger than some small worlds. The strongest ones just move, and their powerful quality will even cause the orbits of several surrounding world communities to shift, causing various void disasters."

"But according to my data predictions, this road will never end, or in other words, it will be extremely difficult to reach an end."

The Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrificial Field said this in a calm tone without any exaggeration or belittling: "Those most powerful void giants do not have any natural enemies, and even evil gods cannot kill them, but their numbers are still decreasing. The reason is that Because they surpassed the limit of that limit, and finally collapsed themselves, turning into the embryonic form of a new world."

"Yes I know."

And Joshua nodded, expressing his understanding: "The crisis I encountered in this transformation is the reason for this limit."

What the Ten Thousand Worlds Worship Site said was actually the fate of high-quality celestial bodies. The size of the most powerful void behemoths must exceed the size of the world in the general sense, and even reach the level of giant stars. Just wandering in the multiverse, they will cause terrifying void disasters and trigger space-time storms , and even caused a phenomenon similar to the void vortex.

But when the size and density reached this level, these giant void beasts would face a problem—that is their own gravity.

The reason why matter can form a shape is due to the existence of electromagnetic force. With the help of electromagnetic force, the aggregates of planet-level matter are enough to maintain their own form. Their true gravity is not enough to self-destruct. ——Joshua’s Therefore, this self-transformation can be completed precisely because his absolute mass has not exceeded a planet. Although his density has reached the point close to that of a neutron star, in the final analysis, there is still room for him to use electromagnetic force to build a soul network.

But those ancient void behemoths are different, their mass has exceeded the limit of stability, the electromagnetic force between atoms can no longer resist gravity, the reason why they can exist stably is because the energy held by the void behemoths is too much If they are too powerful, their energy, or the core of life, has reached the point of being similar to that of a star. As long as they continue to operate, the excess energy can resist gravity and maintain their own shape.

It is possible that the amount of energy cannot be generated out of thin air. As the void giants become older and more powerful, they need more and more energy to maintain their own shape, and the fuel becomes larger and larger—so the void giants The beasts will attack the world, devour the world's matter, and plunder the quality. They may not be to become stronger, but simply to maintain their own existence.

Even so, one day, the plundering speed of the void behemoth will still be inferior to the speed of self-burning, and without energy support, the huge gravitational force will collapse the behemoth in an instant, turning into pure steel force Crystallization—that is, the core of an initial world.

This is also the reason why the Void Behemoth ravages the multiverse, and no civilization wants to eradicate each other, because the Void Behemoth is actually a natural phenomenon. It collects the free matter and steel power fragments in the multiverse, and then Gradually grow up, become bigger by plundering the material of some worlds, and finally incarnate into a new world... Who knows if the predecessor of the world I live in is a powerful ancient giant beast? It took a lot of effort to defeat the opponent, not to mention the heavy casualties, and maybe he had to watch the opponent incarnate into the prototype of the world, and he could only stare blankly and get nothing.

"But even the most powerful void behemoth is nothing more than that. The mass accumulation of dozens of worlds makes their strength even powerless against their own gravity. This is the limit of power that the will can control."

The ruling will said: "In the later stage, you won't even have time to fight, because you will continue to devour matter and turn it into energy to maintain your own existence, but this is just drinking poison to quench your thirst, because the more your quality The bigger you are, the more energy you need to maintain your shape... One day, you will also become a new ancient giant beast, a prototype of a new world."

In response, Joshua nodded, then shook his head again.

He nodded: "That's true. According to the laws of physics, it's true. This path will be like this in the end, and there will be no exceptions."

He shook his head: "However, this is just a void behemoth—a behemoth that has no intelligence, only relies on instinct and talent to devour, and sows seeds. They are not so much normal creatures as they are entities of a multiverse physiological response The wandering macrophages devour all kinds of garbage and dangerous substances, and finally transform into new normal cells at the end of their lifespan... Although the analogy is wrong, it is roughly the same.”

"It may be difficult for you to understand the ruling will, but there are indeed many different things in this world."

Magic, vindictiveness, holy light. The power of steel and fire, and the steel serpent.

Joshua closed his eyes. He knew that it was meaningless to talk about the physical rules of another world with this rigid will of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice. There is an extraordinary way in this world, so the pure physical rules are not natural barriers, but ditches that one can try to jump over.

The black hole hairless theorem may be absolute, but there is no absolute in this world. Even the truth must obey the will of the transcendent. Since the old pope can manipulate the speed of light, and Fatrolvi can distort the information of the world, who can say it is superior? A celestial body with a mass cannot be controlled by manpower? What's more, who said that the fate of high-quality matter aggregates must be black holes?

When it comes to the quality of the body, can any of the void behemoths and individual individuals in the entire multiverse be comparable to the "stars" of the steel python? That is a world with countless galaxies, so huge that it is almost a single universe! In the world of stars, let alone stars, even black holes, quasars and the black hole at the center of the galaxy are numerous. It is so huge that the steel python alone cannot do it by condensing its will. It needs a The medium will do.

But even so, it still has its own will, even if this will takes fifteen hundred years in the blink of an eye.

"High-density matter is my fighting weapon and armor, but that doesn't mean I need to stay in the current state forever."

Incarnate in human form, the black-haired, red-eyed man raised his head and looked at his body hanging high in the air. The silver cocoon was still expanding and shrinking, but compared to before, the current giant cocoon has gold The red lines are spreading, they are countless central symmetrical lines, and in the center of these lines is a symbol similar to φ, which is strong enough to distort the gravity of the world, even countless rune arrays cannot completely isolate it, making the surrounding The light of the light also appeared obvious and incomparably distorted.

——As you said, this is just my first step towards 'infinity'.

A smile gradually appeared on the man's face: "Crossing the river by feeling the stones is something that no pioneer can avoid."

"Even I don't know my future path, it's not something you can know simply by 'predicting' the ruling will."

And at this moment, the sound of regular giant footsteps came from the road not far away. Joshua turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound.

Therefore, he saw the giant god soldier in the lead, and the giant steel elemental and black dragon that followed.

And the people sitting on the giant steel element and the black dragon also naturally saw the black-haired man in the center of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrificial Ground, directly below the Silver Sky Radiance.

"Master!" "Teacher!" "My God, the dean is here!"

In an instant, there were many completely different voices and exclamations from the originally quiet Winter Castle sightseeing team, and following these exclamations one after another, two figures could be seen jumping off the shoulders of No. Then he rushed towards Joshua quickly, and the warrior naturally opened his arms to catch Hotaru and Rin.

Needless to say.

Not long after, the silver-haired girl who threw herself into the arms of the soldier raised her head. She looked at Joshua, who seemed to be much lighter than before, and then looked up at the strangely familiar aura, as if that was the silver ball of the body. Yingying blinked, and she said cautiously: "That is, master's...egg?"

What nonsense is this little guy talking about?

Immediately, Joshua's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "It's the cocoon."
