Soul of Burning Steel

And just when Joshua really touched the distorted light circle, as always, an incomparably huge amount of information rushed in with a momentum that seemed to overwhelm his will.

Just as a long time ago, soldiers accepted memories about famine evil gods, natural disaster evil gods, atmospheric evil gods, and plague evil gods, the violent information flow belonging to the abundance evil gods is starting from the "contact point" of the two, and is moving at an unimaginable speed. galloping.

This is a memory of an ancient will that has gone through hundreds of millions of years. If it is an ordinary legendary powerhouse, such as Joshua a year ago, it will undoubtedly be swallowed up by this memory, and involuntarily fall into the illusion about evil gods .

However, the current Joshua is no longer as powerless as before.

The substantive information turned into surging black mist, which swept towards the soldiers like a wave. This scene was seen by the natural tutor, Faina and others in the distance, and they were shocked at the bottom of the fountain of chaos. They have known for a long time that it is the remains of the evil god of abundance, and why they were unwilling to do anything to this source of chaos before was precisely because of this strange phenomenon of information guidance.

The nature of the evil god, the current Mycroft civilization has not even figured out the superficial, but many researchers know that as long as the superhuman comes into contact with the remaining power of the evil god, the soul will will be washed away by the large amount of information contained in it. If it is not firm enough, It will even be washed into a piece of white paper, which is considered lucky, because if unlucky, the contact person will even be directly washed into the family of the evil god, and ordinary people are even more miserable. They only need to take a look at the true face of the evil god. Even the family members of evil gods will be confused by the influx of information

The previous Joshua was also unavoidable, but now, with the help of a new thinking system and Symmetra, not only will he not be drawn into the illusion, but he can turn his back on the guest and accept the information in its entirety.

On the side of the warrior, there are countless stardust-like light spots lit up, which are tiny clusters of steel, and they spread rapidly until they form a semicircle with a radius of 300 meters. In this semicircle, up and down There are small clusters of steel every few millimeters on the left and right, and there is an incomparably bright light flow between each cluster of steel. They form storage, control and operation devices one by one, constantly flickering and shining, swallowing terror. There seems to be a little shadow of the nervous system in the vague information flow.

But this system is too large and fast, and the information network transmitted at the speed of light is operating with unimaginable efficiency.

The memory of the seemingly berserk evil god came with the force of a tsunami, and the black mist rushed into the steel cluster network around Joshua. It wanted to invade the warrior's mind, but it was only for a moment. These could have suppressed an ordinary man. The chaotic information of the legendary powerhouse or the will of the monster was suppressed by the entire cluster network in turn. The memory of the evil god of abundance contained in the fog for hundreds of millions of years was encoded, edited, cut, and deleted by Joshua leisurely. For those meaningless junk messages, translate the meaning, and the fighters even have the strength to extract important parts of these evil gods' memories, copy and store them.

In a few breaths, when the natural teacher and others rushed into the bottom of the fountain of chaos, ready to help Joshua deal with the impact of the evil god's information, Joshua had completely swallowed these memories.

"...Joshua, are you okay?"

Seeing that the black mist dissipated and the huge semicircular thought network was taken back by the warrior, Galannord couldn't help but feel that she was a step too late. She walked forward a certain distance, intending to ask about the warrior's situation.

"A little dizzy... The memory of the evil god is too confusing. I overestimated my ability to translate information."

Joshua didn't look back at the nature teacher's question. He raised his hand and wiped off the liquid nitrogen seeping from his forehead. On the top of the warrior's head, due to the overflow of extremely high temperature, the air even appeared ionized. The small lightning formed by the wind element is flickering.

At this time, in Joshua's mind, memories about the evil god of abundance were flashing rapidly—but unlike before, which passively accepted those scattered memories, this time, Joshua had the initiative.

Recalling the memory, the warrior gazed at the past of the Chaos God in his own spiritual world.

That is the eternal existence above many worlds, the last wreck left behind——

The trajectories of countless stars are flickering rapidly, turning into a line-like trajectory, flowing in the dark nothingness, the time is scrolled upwards in units of thousands of years, and you can see that there is a group of nebulae that is constantly spreading in the empty void. , restored to a star on the verge of destruction, at the center of a huge group of worlds, a stable huge light group began to vibrate, and finally split into dozens of smaller worlds, and the long river of time was surging and rushing towards the past.

Joshua holds the rudder, he ignores those meaningless memory fragments, and controls the direction of the long river of time, he traces upwards, back tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of years ago, he indifferently skips countless The moment of destruction and birth of countless worlds and evil gods, just because he doesn't need to understand.

What he needs is the reason for the birth of the oldest evil god in the observable multiverse of the current Mycroft civilization.

Therefore, after a long backtracking, Joshua's memory finally returned to the original origin of the evil god.

That was 160 million years ago, the pastoral era of the multiverse.

The plant space station suspended in the void is happily spinning in the turbulent flow of space. It stretches its twenty-seven broad energy-grabbing leaves to absorb the radiant energy overflowing in the void, and a small space is bred in this body. Next to the plant space station above, there are many other types of space stations, some of them are made of metal, some of them are made of living creatures, some are like living creatures, and the most amazing thing is a mass of distorted Its energy flow is constantly changing, with countless runes flashing on its outer layer, but there is a safe and stable space in the core.

In these numerous space stations, there are a large number of completely different life forms. Among them are octopus-like races that use many tentacles and psionic energy to float in the air. There are also races that are similar to humans, with a thinking center and a spinal nerve network. A pair of forelimbs and a pair of lower limbs, there are quite a few strange beings such as metal particle species that have no form, can deform at will, use magnetic force to communicate, and all kinds of pure energy and pure elements.

These different species live in space stations that are not far apart, and live in buildings with different characteristics. They have no conflicts with each other, and they are happy. They even occasionally send airships to exchange supplies, just like a huge whole. Their peaceful and happy life, with almost unlimited resource usage, is like the most perfect ending in all legends.

The field of view expands, and it can be seen that these thousands of space stations transformed from countless small and medium-sized planes even form a straight long river. They are connected in a row to form a huge, almost 'straight line' structure. And behind this huge linear structure, there are tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of huge luminous bodies. They seem to reflect the brilliance of something, so bright that even legendary powerhouses squint their eyes subconsciously.

And after Joshua realized it, he sighed softly.

Because, that is a world floating in the void with millions of calculations.

Behind a straight river of space stations built with billions of planes is a more spectacular and larger river of stars. Countless worlds seem to be artificially arranged in order to form a straight linear structure. They are the mother bodies of the countless space stations. It can be seen that from time to time, many small planes that have just been created are expelled from the outer wall of the world, and then transformed by many powerful people in the void, becoming part of the long river of the space station...

wrong.

Joshua, who was interested in observing the memory of the evil god of abundance, suddenly froze for a moment. He raised his head and looked at the more distant void.

Because the soldiers discovered that the two structures of the space station long river and the world galaxy are not straight.

They are part of a huge ring structure, but the things surrounded by this 'ring' are too huge, even if the structure composed of stars far exceeds the upper limit of ordinary people's cognition, it is not enough to make it appear clearly observable radian.

Feeling an emotion called "unbelievable" rising in his heart, Joshua controlled the angle of view to keep stepping back, back and forth. He stretched the angle of view crazily, until after a long time, he was finally able to see clearly, What exactly is that huge ring-shaped structure rotating around?

Then, his body trembled.

It was a mass that could not be described in words, without color, without brightness, and the shallow electromagnetic wave sensory organ of the human eye could not see it at all. Even if the horizon of steel force was used, it could only be described as 'existence', without any superfluous A 'light blob' of information.

Or, 'flame'.

The long river of the space station and the galaxy of the world are revolving in its outer orbit. Even if millions of calculations are piled up, they cannot form an 'arc' around it. This flame is fluctuating, and the existence information of countless large numbers is released by it And those dazzling brilliance on the outer layer of the world are just the observable energy after the degradation of the flame light, and the flame light intercepted by the ring of the world is just a tiny bit of all the brilliance, And most of the flame light spilled into the void, forming an energy frenzy that swept across the multiverse.

The tsunami-like force of existence washes over the void, they are reversed, repeated, and then in an indescribable and unknown process, they condense into the first substance with substance, that is, steel particles, and the endless steel particles gather due to self-gravity Condensation, forming the embryonic form of billions of worlds, they are pushed towards the outer void by the light of flames, only the part with the highest concentration of steel power and the largest relative mass can stay around that group of 'flames', Enjoy its radiance.

That is the beginning fire.

At this moment, Joshua understood what he saw just now. It was the central area of ​​the primordial fire and the multiverse. The surging light of existence was creating countless observable Worlds with small mass and low energy density are repelled to the edge of the multiverse, while worlds with large mass and high energy density are left in this core area.

And that world galaxy and countless space station rivers are artificial structures jointly created by countless high-energy worlds and the civilizations in them!

Although, according to Joshua's observation perspective, the civilizations bred in those worlds are not very advanced, and there are even feudal kingdoms in them, and even primitive slavery, but in each world, there is at least one capable Higher beings who entered the void and shuttled through the multiverse, and thousands of these higher beings joined forces to construct this amazing spectacle.

At this moment, Joshua remembered a concept from his previous life on Earth, the 'Dyson Ring', or more commonly known as the 'Dyson Sphere'.

A Dyson sphere is a theory proposed by a physicist named Freeman Dyson, which is an artificial celestial body whose overall structure transcends planets and is used to wrap stars to mine star energy, a natural core that uses stars as energy sources Fusion reactor.

This huge man-made celestial body exists in the form of a composite ring or an entire sphere structure, it will surround the star and obtain most or even all of its energy. In his prediction, this should be used to obtain more energy after civilization progresses s method.

Although the idea of ​​a Dyson sphere is extremely difficult or even almost impossible to realize due to various material science, astronomy and structural problems, it is not impossible to achieve in this multiverse with extraordinary power that Joshua is in now. Things like void monsters wandering in the void, when they grow to a certain extent, they are likely to spontaneously breed stars in their bodies, forming a natural biological Dyson sphere.

But that's only for the stars... The stars are indeed huge, with a quality and energy that life on the surface of a planet or a single continent world can't match, but for many extraordinary civilizations, it is just an inevitable transcendence. The target, not to mention Joshua, even Pope Igor of the Church of the Seven Gods, he only needs to go deep into the inner side of a star and change the speed of light in a certain area—it doesn’t even need to be so troublesome, he only needs to disturb the structure of the star, and it is possible to completely destroy it. Destroy a massive star.

And some super existences, such as the Cthulhu God of Abundance, can even pass through or breathe, which can cause stars to decay and dry up.

Joshua is turning in the memory information flow of the Cthulhu God of Abundance. This is not just a one-sided memory, but a simulation and reproduction of the past information by the Cthulhu God of Abundance itself. The rotating world galaxy, God knows how far away they are from a complete Dyson ring structure, if calculated according to 100% completion, they have completed at most one trillionth of it, but even so, it is an extremely shocking, brilliant The ultimate artificial multiverse celestial structure!

They actively collect the existential energy from the axis of the multiverse, and use this as energy to continuously create many space stations of planes as colonies of their own race and civilization!

Small.

It's so small.

Joshua stared at the "possible" center of the universe and the initial fire, and couldn't help feeling a burst of emotion in his heart—although the celestial structure that the evil god of abundance reappeared may not be real, but even if it is fantasy, it is absolutely There is a reason, otherwise, how could an evil god of chaos imagine such a brilliant multi-level spectacle?

Compared with it, all civilizations, all worlds are so insignificant.

And at this moment, some information quietly flowed out from the memory of the Cthulhu God of Abundance.

【The 'infinite structure' plan failed, our civilization has a limit after all, and the infinite galaxy around the initial source point can never be successfully constructed, because the multiverse is expanding, and the initial fire is also expanding, and our construction speed cannot exceed it The speed of expansion. 】

【In the final analysis, the multiverse is finite, and we cannot reach 'infinity'. 】

In this message, there is endless sorrow and sorrow, as if a dream that has been done for tens of millions of years is ruthlessly pierced by the cold reality.

The number of elementary particles in a single universe is limited, even if it cuts down to the most basic field, it can be counted, and the fact that it can be counted out means that the universe itself is just a nearly infinite finite , no matter whether there are one hundred and eighty zeros behind the total number of basic units or one thousand and eight hundred zeros in front, the possibility of permutation and combination of these units is also limited, but the number of possibilities is unimaginably large It is unimaginable, and even the record itself will consume an unimaginable amount of carriers, so it is called 'infinite'.

But this kind of infinity is just false, even the multiverse is just as false infinity, even if the primordial fire creates billions of new worlds in an instant, then at the lowest boundary of time, the total number of universes that exist is also limited, which can be To be counted, even if counting them one by one, the time is enough to make a universe heat death or collapse, and then explode and rebirth millions of times back and forth, that is still limited.

[Except for the original source point, perhaps there is no existence in the multiverse that is close to 'infinity'. This path is wrong. 】

This piece of information painfully left a signature representing his identity on an information document, and then slowly dissipated, and with it, the illusion of the entire multiverse.

Vaguely, Joshua sensed that, apart from this gigantic galaxy structure that pursues 'infinity', the tens of thousands of powerhouses belonging to different worlds had had many similar thoughts and plans. Including the 'infinite structure', this huge world and the union of civilizations have four master-level plans.

For example, transcending all material changes, even the "eternity" at the end.

For example, beyond all finite existence, even the imaginary 'infinity'.

For example, transcending all causal concepts, even the 'absolute' of probability.

And, it can't be described in words, it can't be described in words, it can't be thought logically, it's 'omnipotent' that makes mistakes when you think about it, and it's all-powerful when you argue.

Eternity, infinity, absoluteness and omniscience, these are the four "ultimates" that were once located in the center of the multiverse and pursued by countless initial high-energy civilizations.

The illusion of the multiverse has completely dissipated. In the memory of the evil god of abundance, there is only a piece of dark nothingness and meaningless light. Joshua stood in the center of his spiritual sea, and he looked at the countless stream-of-consciousness-like dark fragments. A block of incomparably faint rays of light passed by his side, as if even the evil god of abundance could not bear the splendor and memory of that era.

Of course, this is not surprising, after all, there is only a negligible fragment left of the Cthulhu God of Abundance. The sages wiped out most of its existence in the void, and this is just a fragment of its heyday.

Until the end, just when Joshua sensed a slender and soft hand patted on his shoulder, as if trying to help him, the warrior finally saw the last fragmented phantom of memory.

It was a dark and silent nothingness. Countless stars were shattered and turned into misty nebulae. They slowly drifted in the multiverse, like the corpses of worlds.

Nebulae emit light by themselves, but their outer layers also reflect other additional light. This light seems to be able to promote the aggregation of nebulae, allowing them to reassemble due to self-gravity into dense clouds of matter, causing them to collapse into the original world. ——But just when the embryonic form of the world was about to be born, an unknown source of power shattered it, turning it into a scattered nebula again.

Joshua was silent for a long time, then looked up, he knew that the light reflected by the nebula was the light of the primordial fire.

He knew that the birth of the evil god came from the destruction of civilization and the world, and how was the oldest and most powerful evil god born? He felt that the following scene should answer this doubt.

So the soldier raised his head, he looked at the initial fire, at the "infinite galaxy" structure formed by the original world galaxy and countless space stations.

Then, he saw a huge terrifying vortex, similar to the void vortex, but tens of hundreds of times larger than the void vortex. It swirled in the structure of the original infinite galaxy, destroying everything that existed, and then slightly Larger structures will be completely destroyed by the terrifying power contained in the vortex, and will be restored to the original steel particles.

Just beyond this vortex lies the center of its orbit.

Joshua once again saw the primordial fire.

And it's shrinking.

The beginning of the end.
