Chapter 822 Civilization Tribulation

Joshua believes that it is more important to go to the Abyss Nirvana first, and search for traces of evil gods along the way, than to eliminate the demons that have begun to self-destruct on a large scale.

As for the twelve abysses that Joshua searched before, they were not actually searches at all. It could only be said to be a tour around the world of Mycroft. Going into the abyss and patrolling its surface were completely different concepts.

That being the case, to choose to go deep into the abyss to explore, it is naturally necessary to find a guide.

If it was Joshua a few years ago, then he would have chosen to use the Book of Eibon to summon a demon, and then persuaded the other party to be willing to help him explore the abyss, although the Book of Eibon is almost impossible to summon now. Any demon comes, but as long as you look carefully and search carefully, you can still catch... and summon a few fish that escaped the net.

But now, it's not so troublesome——

Joshua looked at the time, and then locked the place where the avatar descended in his own territory, Moldavia in the north, and then the soldiers gathered their strength and directly shaped the body in the southern city.

Soon, Joshua, who was wearing an ordinary wilderness wanderer's costume and a black cowboy hat, walked slowly in the residential area of ​​Nancheng District, towards the cluster of single-family residential buildings on the edge of the city. near.

Nancheng District is where the mana factory, factory workers, and a large number of civil servants of the Lord's Mansion live. It is different from the eastern plain, because the mana factory is directly under Joshua's nose, and no one dares to cut corners in the purification circle. , coupled with the ancient times that Joshua's own power of steel overflowed and spontaneously purified, Moldavia's pollution is almost zero.

In the houses on both sides of the streets in Nancheng District, many babies or children can be heard from time to time crying and playing. This is the descendant of many residents who settled in Moldavia a few years ago and married and had children locally.

Hearing the voices of these children and babies, Joshua couldn't help nodding slightly. These children are the future of civilization, which also means that the first wave of baby boomers in Moldavia is about to be born... Soon, not only his territory, but the entire Mike The world of Rove will usher in a wave of extremely rapid population growth after the Dragon Calamity.

Explosive population growth... Maybe this is also a potential point of contradiction? Because of the evil god's omen, the soldier couldn't help being a little sensitive, but he quickly put this thought behind him.

——When these children grow up and become the driving force and burden of the world, it will be at least ten years later. If he can't kill an evil god in ten years, then the disaster is really not wronged.

Thinking of this, Joshua soon came to a single small building.

Before he reached the door, Joshua could hear clear laughter coming from the house, and he could smell the sweetness of frosting mixed with the aroma of cake, which made him blink.

Then he started knocking on the door.

Soon, the laughter in the house stopped, and a young girl could be heard hurriedly, "Here we come, who is it?" ’, and someone could be heard talking to himself in doubt, wondering whose voice it was, but in short, the door opened soon, and the dragon girl Lisa appeared at the door with a cheerful and energetic face.

Then, she saw Joshua.

The girl's expression froze in an instant.

"Eh...heh, old, teacher?"

Joshua took a serious look at Lisa's clothes at this time, and it was quite normal, but the most important thing was the graffiti on her face - it was filled with lines of characters and small animal images with a black pen, making the original The delicate and lovely dragon girl looked... very funny at this time.

It seems that these little guys have a lot of fun in their daily life. They have a lot of fun and a lot of activities.

"Hello, Lisa, it's a little abrupt to come here without notice." Joshua patted the other party's shoulder, sensing the other party's strength, and the soldier said quite appreciatively: "Very good, you have made great progress recently. effort."

"Well, thank you teacher for your compliment..." Lisa first raised her brows excitedly for the compliment, and couldn't help showing a complacent expression on her face, but then she quickly stepped aside, and then asked cautiously: " Teacher, what's the matter with you this time..."

Usually Joshua tested the strength of her and other students from the same school, and they were sent to the lord's mansion, or to the venue of Winterhold Academy. Few of them personally visited the house. This time Joshua's visit, It can be said that Lisa was very caught off guard.

Could it be that today the teacher plans to conduct a sudden mission to test her ability to adapt to various emergencies? It is indeed the style of the teacher, and it is also very reasonable. Fortunately, my daily exercise has not been reduced, and my combat effectiveness is always at its peak.

‘It’s just that it seems that the plan to get Mr. Syndicate drunk today will be cancelled. ’ The dragon girl thought with some annoyance: ‘I finally got it done...’

However, just when the girl was ready to take on the mission of the master and was ready to fight God knows where the golden pinnacle monster or puppet for 300 rounds at any time, she heard Joshua say such a sentence.

"Borrow your syndicate." The soldier said so, and then he waved his hand—with a dazed look on his face, he seemed a little drunk, and the Balrog, whose face was also covered in graffiti, was lifted by the nape of his neck, Appearing in his hands, Joshua nodded slightly to Lisa: "I will pay you back soon, don't worry."

Then, Joshua disappeared with Syndicate.

Huh.

Lisa had an unresponsive expression on her face.

But soon, she grasped the point.

Mr. Syndicate... from my family?

Immediately, the dragon girl stood at the door of her house, and even forgot to close the door, so she smirked with a red face.

At the same time, Joshua was in the lord's basement, and asked Syndicate, who had been awakened from the wine, a lot of information about the depths of the abyss.

Since Syndicate changed the nature of life and became a dragon-like life, it has become him, and has most of the perception of ordinary flesh and blood life-as long as the body of the former Balrog is not too damaged, then He can always maintain the state of 'Dragon Mimetic', and even have the ability to give birth.

Of course, it is reasonable to get drunk.

Joshua naturally didn't care what Lisa and Syndicate were up to during the day, but he was understanding and would naturally finish asking his own questions as soon as possible and let the other party go back.

However, during his time as Balrog, Syndicate didn't actually travel to many worlds or see many things. At that time, he was just eating, drinking, beating little devils, and leading his little brother to fight with other ultimate lords... As an individual, Syndicate actually didn't know any information at all, and even his intelligence was interfered by the powerful radiation energy at that time, making him unable to think smoothly.

But what Joshua wanted was not the information in Syndicate's own memory - what he wanted was the information in the inheritance of the Balrog's bloodline.

Joshua had just entered the legend when he first met the Syndicate, and it was very difficult to analyze valuable information that could be understood by humans from the basic blood information of a life, but now, Joshua can not only Analyzing, he can also write a "blood lineage inheritance" that can be inherited for other lives, and even stamp his Radcliffe family's trademark on this inheritance, and determine the warranty date and product number.

In other words, Joshua was able to create a large number of originally extremely noble and powerful 'bloodline' families at will by mass-producing bloodline inheritance. It's just that doing this kind of thing is thankless, and it will affect the potential of the race. Joshua doesn't intend to do that.

Soon, with Syndicate's bewildered expression on his face, he opened his mouth and began to automatically repeat the inheritance and materials that emerged from his blood.

It didn't take much time for Joshua to learn a lot of valuable information about demons and the abyss.

——Most races of demons live in the first hundred floors of the abyss.

Eighty percent of the known demon groups live in the first 100 floors of the abyss, and there are more than 60 kinds of most common demon groups. They all gather in this area, conquer each other, and invade resources, or join forces to go to the world of life to snatch souls.

And the remaining 20% ​​are basically scattered in the abyss world of about 100 to 300 floors... and below the 200 to 300 floors, basically no intelligent demons will go there. , where most of the dwelling and wandering are ignorant monsters of the demonic species.

Why? The answer is simple.

Because the top of the abyss is the newly destroyed world that fell into the abyss, and the lower the world is, the sooner the world will be destroyed, or the greater the impact it will receive when it is destroyed. In any case, it means It is basically impossible for life to exist in such a world, even demons cannot bear it.

These worlds are not even as good as the dead world—at least the dead world still has matter, and in this wrecked world, even the matter begins to decompose, and the whole world is a calm and motionless sea of ​​heat ions, as if heat death In general, there is, but it is meaningless.

There are even many hometowns of ancient demon groups, which are located in the world below the three hundred layers of the abyss. Balrogs are said to be this kind. Their mother world, even the wreckage, no longer exists, so the powerful Balrog The groups will be dispersed and spread across many worlds in the abyss.

The world of Kronos is located on the 500th floor of the abyss. If it weren't for the existence of the ancient dragon, that world would have cut off all vitality, and even decomposed itself, turning into pure steel particles and entering the cycle of multiverse reincarnation, but even With the help of Gu Long and Joshua to rekindle the flame, the current world of Kronos is far from returning to normal.

Around the Kronos world, most of the inside of the world has long been turned into a chaotic void, leaving only the strongest world barriers that are still slowly disintegrating, allowing the corpses of these worlds to maintain the star-like appearance. Dim shape.

According to Yue Ai, the land of Nirvana in the abyss is located in the dark realm of the nine hundred layers of the abyss.

The meaning represented by the nine hundred layers is not as simple as a simple number... because there are endless abyss worlds that self-decompose, collapse, and are completely removed from the abyss, even if there are other recently extinct worlds joining the abyss all the time. In , the increasing and decreasing speeds of the two are also very close.

Maybe decades later, the place of Nirvana in the abyss is now on the thousandth floor, or seven or eight hundred floors, but the meaning it represents will not change, that is, it is the bottom of the abyss, where countless wrecks are piled up The place.

"It is said that the River Styx flows from the bottom of the abyss, the 'source' that no one knows, and then spreads across many abyss worlds."

In the basement of the lord's mansion, Syndicate was still instinctively rereading the knowledge in his blood, but it was obvious that at this point, even the ancient Balrogs and even the inheritance of the Balrog kings were uncertain. He said in a tone of hesitation and guessing: "The existence of the River Styx is so mysterious. 'I' tried to follow the tide of the River Styx to explore its roots, but even after traveling through hundreds of worlds, I couldn't trace back to its roots. Upstream...my power is powerful even among kings, and can even overwhelm several abysses, but there is still an unpredictable distance from the source of the river Styx in the abyss."

"I will keep this memory in my blood, blood of my race, be in awe of the Styx, stay away from all the existence and things that come from the Styx, the darkness hidden in it is far beyond our ability to explore mystery."

...

After praising Syndicate for his recent efforts and finally returning to the state of ultimate intent with the "Extreme Intention of Skill", Joshua urged the other party to be careful not to be overtaken by Lisa, and then let him go back.

It was his fault to disturb the younger generation's daily entertainment, so naturally Joshua would not disturb too much.

However, some information in Syndicate's Balrog bloodline inheritance is very interesting.

'Styx', an existence that is easily overlooked because it is too common, is now associated with the land of Nirvana at the 'bottom of the abyss' for the first time.

Moreover, according to Syndicate, although the demons are indeed on guard against each other, most of the time they will not fight, because they all know that the opponent as a demon has no money at all, so they only need to expand their power. For example, Goliath, the gluttonous demon king who is the Lord of the sixth abyss, will go to attack and incorporate other demon groups.

But every once in a while—at least, not a very long period of time in the demon inheritance, a huge bloody battle in the abyss will break out among many demon groups.

Originally, both the Balrog King who recorded the inheritance and the Syndicate himself thought that this kind of thing was not a big deal. It is not a strange thing for demons to compete for each other. The outbreak of war is just a normal consequence of the violent nature of demons. , and once the demons start a war with each other, it will definitely continue until the destruction of one side, the collapse of several or even dozens of abyss worlds.

But the cause and the end of the war... because it is too confusing, no one knows it all.

"Is this catastrophe destined to happen, or did I ignore the feelings of the people at the bottom after crossing, and changed everything too quickly, which caused all this?"

Joshua couldn't help whispering to himself.

He himself, after crossing into the world of Mycroft, other than fighting, all he thinks about is 'salvation'.

From the beginning to the end, everything he did was to save one world after another. Whether it was fighting or destroying, his purpose was extremely noble and great, and naturally no one could blame him.

However, due to the fact that he was a nobleman at the beginning of the journey, and because he continued to travel through other worlds to help civilizations of one race after another, he did not have time to understand the thoughts of ordinary people, nor did he have time to visit ordinary people. the life one should have.

He is more like a god than a human, but the seven gods are just watching reincarnation, and he entered the world to destroy chaos. As for whether the impact will be good or bad, he has never thought about it. Now it seems that the result is naturally more good than bad. But Joshua is not sure whether his actions will trigger some disasters that have been lurking in advance.

But everything is relative.

Not to mention Lisa and Syndicate, even Ivan and Priest have a colorful life on weekdays, and even legendary powerhouses like Israel, Nostradamus and Igor also With a personal private life, even the elf queen has an unreliable scandal with the natural teacher.

However, because of this, they interact with the world itself, they are in this era, so they are caught in this era.

But in pure Joshua's eyes, everything is very clear.

The world of Mycroft is now at a fierce moment from the late feudal era to rapid industrialization reform, and even modernization reform.

Just changing the reform policy from agriculture to industry supremacy will bring great turmoil.

How many people died because of this turmoil in England, the earth country that first industrialized? Coal ash covered the sky of London, the air was polluted into a gray mist, countless low-level civilians became fuel for industrialization in such an environment, and their average life expectancy was no more than thirty-three years old... This situation is different from the industrialization of magic energy today. How similar is Mycroft? This inevitable sacrifice is also coming to this continent.

And because of this, with the advancement of civilization, industrialization, sacrifices brought about by the changes of the times, the depression, rebellion, despair and outbreaks that have been born will also intensify. On the earth, they have caused several revolutions around the world. The results of these revolutions and disputes gave birth to the embryonic form of modern society.

But is this 'success' really inevitable?

of course not.

This is the catastrophe of civilization - if it survives, it is nirvana and rebirth, if it fails, it is self-destruction.

The Mycroft civilization in the Starfall era, perhaps because of the existence of unknown evil gods, is ushering in its own "Heavenly Tribulation" ahead of schedule.

At this time, Joshua, after knowing the current situation of the abyss and the location of the land of nirvana, has basically gathered all the information to go to the bottom of the abyss. If the civilization of the former is enough to defeat the mystery of the evil god, they can set off immediately.

The only thing that makes Joshua hesitate now is whether to interfere with the self-development of the Mycroft world.

Although he did not intend to intervene, nor did he feel that he had the ability to intervene, but Joshua came from the era after the Third World War—his existence itself, his memory itself, represented a "standard" The answer', if he is guided by his experience, perhaps he can survive this catastrophe of civilization without defeating the evil god.

However, without experience in the world of extraordinary power, can it be used in the extraordinary world?

The legendary powerhouse interferes wantonly, transforms civilization, and judges the future of the world based on personal experience-what is the difference between this approach and Fatalovi?

Extraordinary power represents the power of miracles. Legendary powerhouses are the crystallization of miracles. Their existence is to find the possibility from the impossible. Using this power in civilization itself can evolve itself and solve problems. Is it too wasteful?

These are very arrogant questions—or in other words, extraordinary power itself is arrogant power, and holding it is destined to usher in such a choice.

In the dark basement of the Lord's Mansion, the lights were turned off, and Joshua was sitting alone in his seat. Although he was sitting in a casual posture at this moment, his coercion and majesty were like a god sitting on a throne.

In the darkness without light, the man closed his eyes and fell into deep thought, while beside him, bright silver stars lit up one after another. They were like planets, revolving around the warrior—you can see, rows of mysterious Complicated, but completely different from the runes in the Mycroft world, the silver lines began to spread towards the surroundings, and as the light particles flew, the entire basement, whether it was armor or weapons, walls or beams, were all ready to move, as if they were about to 'live' .

Joshua didn't intentionally control his own power, his power spontaneously affected the surrounding world, the pure power of steel activated everything, endowing everything with initial spirituality.

His power has reached this point. Just the outflow of the power of existence can change the world, give birth to life, create a race, and breed infinite possibilities and futures.

"……civilization."

The soldier slowly opened his eyes, and he could vaguely see a little dark red fluctuation in his silver eyes. Joshua whispered to himself, "It's really complicated."

——Unknown evil god.

What kind of name do you have?

At the same time, the edge of the world galaxy.

A broken fleet of the Chartres is rushing through time and space, and is speeding towards the group of pioneer fortresses.

I originally wanted to update it yesterday, but as I wrote it, the style of writing became obscure, and the writing speed was very slow...

No way, try to update
