Chapter 8 Who seeks my help 6400
Just as the Seven Divine Holy Mountain cheered for detecting the signals transmitted from afar, Joshua did not go to the void.
At this time, he was still in the continent of Mycrov.
If you want to go to the void, you can do it anywhere. As long as you can fly upwards and rise to an altitude of more than 700,000 meters, you can reach the edge of the world. Here, the boundaries of time and space are ambiguous. With a little force, you can easily go to the outside world without using the time and space gate at all. With Joshua's strength, he does not even need to rise too high. As long as he comes to power, he will not affect the height of the surface building, and he can distort the space at any time and go to the void.
Now that the warrior set the coordinates that had been prepared, he strides through the time and space gate, and then, in a burst of strong blue light, he came to the hilly area in the southeast of the eastern plain, a simple and inconspicuous mage tower.
The "No Name" Stone Tower is a circular tower building located at the highest point in the Magna Hills. Huge granite and square stone form its outer layer. Sinks that seem to be wind-eroded traces are spread all over its surface, but the inside is flashing with magical fluorescence. Many adventurers who live around Magna will think it is an ancient ruin at the beginning, but when they approach and prepare to explore, they will find that there is a powerful defensive magic array around this seemingly ordinary mage tower. According to some adventurers who have sneaked into the surroundings of the magic array, there are huge stone figure puppets standing around the Unknown Stone Tower, as if they are rejecting all outsiders.
Many people speculated that the owner of this mage tower might be a powerful mage who often traveled far away, so they left behind huge puppet stone statues to protect the mage tower that seemed to be disrepaired. In fact, they were right, but they were still too conservative about the strength and number of tower owners.
Joshua walked out of the teleportation array on the fourth floor of the stone tower. He was greeted by Barniel and William. Two legendary wizards stood in front of the time and space gate. One was looking at a large-scale magic book, and the other was asking an obsidian puppet to prepare coffee. When the time and space waves were rippling and the warriors completely walked out of the fluctuating time and space channel, they all left their work and instructions and welcomed the warriors.
"You are here, the analysis of the spiritual fragments and magic cocoons has already achieved rough results, and I have found many interesting things."
Without greetings, the three of them communicated directly as if they had already communicated. After nodding to each other and confirming the situation, they walked towards the laboratory on the top of the stone tower together.
Barnier led the way, and the old wizard shook his head and said, "Of course, because the experimental materials are relatively small and destructive analytical methods cannot be used, the efficiency is relatively low."
The ‘nameless’ stone tower is one of the destinations of the two legendary wizards of Barnier and William, who are spread all over the world of the Mycrov World. This is their largest research base in the Eastern Plain. On weekdays, no one knows that the stone tower belongs to them. After Barnier kept silent, William took over the conversation: "The spiritual fragments are too scattered. It seems that they were completely crushed after being severely damaged. It is really difficult to strip away the memory fragments."
"Thank you, please."
In response to this, Joshua, who entrusted the two of them to help, did not say much. He just thanked him sincerely. Soon, the three of them arrived at the laboratory on the top of the stone tower.
This is an extremely white room with four arms. The ground and ceiling are all purest white, without any stains. The silver-white metal workbench is engraved with rune arrays with light blue light patterns. The cabinet is filled with various bottles and cans, with labels on it: "Crazy Forest", "Abyss Dirt", "Styx Water"... But the most attractive thing is the huge circular array disk placed in the center of the laboratory, and three crystal balls placed on the array disk.
"It's a coincidence that Barnier and I caught a demon in your territory last time. By analyzing its spirit and soul, we have accumulated first-hand analysis of powerful demons, making this work much easier."
After coming to the laboratory, William raised his hand and pointed at a crystal ball placed on the array plate, and said with emotion: "If we had not had such experience, we might not have dared to accept your commission."
"What demon?"
Joshua turned his head curiously.
In the Blood Moon Abyss, after fighting with the Black Dragon and the two demon kings, Joshua gave the spiritual fragments of the Eye Demon Lord Helm and half of the remaining body of the Insect Demon Lord Saruka to the Imperial Royal Mage Association, Banier and William respectively. However, because the Imperial Royal Mage Association is going to focus on the development of another world recently, it is impossible for the warrior to analyze the wreckage left by the two legendary powerful men as soon as possible, so Joshua finally entrusted it to the two legendary wizards.
It now seems that both Barnier and William have carefully completed Joshua's commission. In just a few months, they have gained a lot and have sorted out most of the information before the soldiers are ready to go to another world.
Thinking of this, he looked at the crystal ball that William pointed at.
Then, Joshua saw a familiar face. His expression suddenly became subtle: "Lardanas? Have you caught it in my territory?"
It was a perfect red and white sphere, in which a dying demon was imprisoned. It can be clearly seen that this was the extremely spirit-level demon that had fought with warriors in the past as an incarnation. However, compared to the momentum at the beginning, the heart-eating demon now has already curled up in the crystal ball in despair, not to mention the aura of despair, it was already very desperate in despair, ignoring the outside world. Even if the three legends came to it and watched it, it was the same, as if a piece of destruction had been damaged.
"Yes, you probably caught it from the time you returned to the World of Grantia. It just crossed the Ural Mountains and was discovered by us."
Banier did not continue to explain how the two of them caught the big demon. He just gently stroked the surface of the crystal ball and said with emotion: "If it weren't for the analysis of the soul and the demon of this heart-eating demon, we could master the ability to peel off the soul fragments and memory fragments, we might not have completed your commission smoothly. By the way, we found that the demons are no different from normal creatures in nature, but they have mutations because they live in an overly harsh environment. Their meat tastes good after purification."
"The only pity is that although this Heart-Eating Demon has not completely collapsed, he is completely autistic and will not react to our stimulation. Now even if you kill it, it will not move for half a moment."
"This is a coincidence."
He looked deeply at the big demon who was motionless in the crystal ball, the legendary demon king of the previous life of "future", Joshua smiled softly, and then stopped paying attention. He looked at the crystal ball placed in the other two directions of the formation plate and spoke: "So, have you really analyzed Helm's spiritual fragments and Saruka's **?"
"Saruka is quite complicated. We haven't figured out how its energy merges with its cells and then converts it into other life forms, but Helm's spiritual fragments are indeed resolved."
William came to the silver-white crystal ball on the other side, and fragments like colorful prisms were floating in it. They were the spiritual fragments left by the Eye Demon Lord after his death. The master of the mind turned his head and looked at Joshua and added: "It's just that it's broken too much, and the memory is very confused... I don't know who broke it."
Joshua didn't reply. He looked at the silver-white crystal ball and asked seriously: "I'm having trouble, so, is there any information worth mentioning?"
"Yes...but to be honest, Barnier and I don't understand it very well. Although we often go in and out of the void and go to the abyss, we have never seen that kind of world before."
Barnier stretched out his hand and made a 'please' move: "You'd better take a look at it yourself."
Joshua did not refuse, and he walked forward and came to the silver crystal ball. He stretched out his hand and touched it.
Then, light and shadow intertwined, and a torrent of thought composed of fragmented memories surged towards Joshua.
He saw that many memories buried deep in his heart belonging to the demon king Helm was born in the broken soul of a mage in another world, devouring his compatriots to grow and evolve, fighting endlessly in the Sixth Abyss, expanding his own power, Joshua saw a demon struggling to survive in the doomsday, and then became more cruel and ruthless.
The lifespan of a demon is long, much longer than that of humans. Even fragments of memory are extremely thicker than humans. However, Joshua suppressed these memories and thoughts belonging to the demons one by one, extracting only information that is useful to him.
The gluttonous demon Goliath would rather be severely injured than cross the blocking of the sacrificial ground of the sacrificial ground of the world to snatch Sarukka's body and the spiritual fragments of Helm. Joshua did not think that the other party was just to preserve the body of his subordinates. There was definitely something worth the other party paying for the other party, so he worked tirelessly to collect all the fragments of Helm that he crushed, and finally entrusted the spiritual master and the rune controller who reached the peak in self-transformation to analyze. Now, Joshua has obtained a lot of geographical information related to the Sixth Abyss, but this is useless. He felt that it needs to be further deepened.
So Joshua went deeper.
In the hundreds of years of memory torrent of the Demon Lord, Joshua sank into the depths of the other party's deeper thought fragments. He searched for all the memories that could be called "secrets" and opened them mercilessly.
Finally, he found the fragment that was hidden deep in his memory by Helm.
This is a memory from more than 370 years ago. It was a failed teleportation. The great demon who had not yet achieved the legend was therefore trapped in the space-time gap between the world, and right there, it witnessed the ultimate destruction with its own eyes.
It was light, a vast stream of light. The stars were shining with silver-blue glow, and the gamma rays that destroyed all things surged from the center of the stars. It destroyed everything, and with a snap of its fingers, it turned the planet into ashes, just like a castle made of giants blowing away sand and gravel.
Death blows the trumpet, destruction chants, and the planet that has set up a huge energy shield is directly destroyed. Its ashes are flying in the stream of light, like Mars floating on a bonfire. It can be seen that the iron core of the star body turns red and then is washed into the stars. This scene may be a bit difficult for the legendary wizards who have been living in the plane world, but Joshua is extremely clear. He saw the light of the birth of the supernova explosion across the Milky Way, destroying all the stars along the way, and finally hitting the sun of the galaxy.
It seemed as if the egg shell was broken, the egg white mixed with egg yolks overflowed in the vacuum, and the liquid high-heat gas gushed out from the inside of the star and was then blown away by light.
A star was extinguished like this.
Seeing all this with Helm at that time, Joshua couldn't help but hold his breath. He knew the horror of this scene better than everyone, even Helm who saw it with his own eyes.
The gamma-ray burst from afar does not destroy the planet and blow away the stars. It can at most kill all life on the planet's surface and blow away the atmosphere. If Helm sees the truth, then there is only one possibility...that is, not far from this destroyed galaxy, or even within a distance of no more than a few light years, a huge superstar exploded and collapsed, forming a neutron star... or even a black hole.
"It's amazing indeed. I didn't expect that the prototype of Helm's Star Burning was actually a real gamma-ray burst... but this should not be taken so seriously by Goliath."
The shock was only a moment, and Joshua was not affected by this scene. He frowned and thought: "A terrifying astronomical disaster may be for the abyss demon, and there is no need to retake it so nervously."
There should be some important information that he did not find. Joshua thought so, and then continued to search for the remaining spiritual fragments of Helm, hoping to obtain deeper information.
Next, countless scattered memory fragments passed by... Helm, who had gained stronger power, advanced his legendary form, controlled the destructive light stream to suppress half of the sixth abyss, and was ready to move towards the supreme purpose of conquering the entire abyss plane. But in the middle, a stronger force ended Helm's ambition, which was the future devil, Goliath.
It was incredibly powerful and did not even use any trump card. Helm, who was doing his best with pure energy strength and ** power alone, seemed to be able to control all things to unify the entire Sixth Abyss. The demon king did not choose to kill other demon kings, but used his own power to command them to conquer other worlds for his ambitions.
For various reasons, Helm did not choose to resist. He decided to temporarily surrender to this powerful abyss lord, but Joshua saw that Helm was not so loyal in the first hundred years of his defeat. Helm was always thinking about how to become stronger, replace Goliath, and then become the next demon king to rule the whole world.
It has tried many ways, whether it is meditation, conceiving new spells, accumulating energy or optimizing the energy condensation and acceleration structure in the body... It has indeed become stronger, but it cannot defeat Goliath. Helm is extremely distressed by this, until finally, it thought that it might be the only way.
That is to return to the world where gamma ray bursts have been produced and analyze the source of this terrifying power.
Helm firmly believed that if he had mastered the truth of the terrifying power, let alone the Lord of the Abyss, even the gods would not be able to compete with him. Therefore, with more than ten years of preparation, it finally restored the coordinates of the mistake teleportation, and prepared to enter that world again and find the source behind that power.
"...I can't find its source... It's too far away. I've been flying for several months and haven't left this high-hot cloud area."
"The energy radiation here is even more terrifying than the void, and even I can't support it for too long... The star fire has not yet ended, and the scattered energy flow is still bursting from time to time."
"Strange... What a terrifying sense of space twist. What exactly is in the distance? The light has turned into a vortex... Something has come over?!"
"It rushed in! No, it rushed in long ago... This is the light from decades ago... It is the source! It triggered this disaster!"
This is the last memory of Helm. It saw an extremely bright star, and an inconspicuous small dot that came from nowhere and bumped into the stars.
Release his hand that touched the silver crystal ball, Joshua took a step back, frowned and fell into deep thought.
Barniel and William on the side did not disturb Joshua. In fact, they felt the same when they observed Helm's memory, and it was even more difficult to understand than Joshua. After all, whether it was Barniel or William, they had always lived in a plane world with round sky and place, such as stars and planets, they had never heard of it.
At this moment, the warrior was thinking about the meaning represented by the last memory fragment of Helm.
"The Eye Demon Lord does not have a psychic leaping engine like me, and it cannot cross the universe counted in astronomical units... Even after flying for several months, it is still inside the nebula where the blown sun has been dispersed."
The warrior murmured to himself: "The energy eruption has not yet ended, which means that the star wreckage that erupts at the source has not been completely stable... But since the light can be twisted into vortexes, it must be a black hole that is even more terrifying than a neutron star."
As for the last scene, Joshua could easily understand: the gravitational chaos caused by the black hole may distort the light. It took Helm a few decades to see the past scenery that should have appeared at the same time when the gamma rays arrived. It should have seen something suddenly appear around the upcoming supernova, which in turn induces the supernova to collapse and explode.
But...what exactly is that thing? Three hundred and seventy years ago, what exactly triggered that terrifying gamma-ray burst?
There is no follow-up to everything. This is the last spiritual fragment left by Helm, the demon king, in this world. Most of them are in the hands of Joshua and a half are in the hands of Goliath. Until now, Joshua still has not figured out why the Abyss Lord insists on seizing Helm's spiritual fragments and prevents him from succeeding. However, the warrior had a vague guess in his heart, but this guess was quite nonsense, and he felt it was a bit unlikely.
"Have you solved your problem? Joshua."
After Joshua finished his meditation, Barniel spoke, looking at the serious warrior, shook his head and said, "To be honest, William and I didn't see anything. The memories of these demons are messy and there are still many strange things."
"There are no...there are more and more problems."
Although he said that, Joshua's expression improved a lot. Although he did not understand Goliath's purpose, he knew the source of Helm's power and the coordinates of the star sea world... Helm did not have a leap engine and could not cross the distance as a unit of light years, but he could. When he had time in the future, he would naturally go to that world to see the situation and figure out what was going on.
"Don't worry too much, Joshua and the devil's memories are almost the same."
On the other side, William, who was knowledgeable and had no idea how many minds he had played with, smiled lightly. He turned his head and looked at the insect cocoon placed in another black and white crystal ball, shrugging: "Although we have not yet analyzed the life form of Saruka, it has to be said that it is truly a legendary powerhouse. Just a little bit of the essential structure of life we have analyzed now is enough to make great progress in life research such as 'rebroken limb rebirth', 'longevity' and 'strengthening internal organs', the cocoon is even alive, which is much more valuable than the spiritual fragments of a dead demon."
"Haha, as long as it is valuable, in short, I'll ask you for research on this aspect."
Joshua smiled slightly at this. This was the purpose of sending Sarukka's body fragments here. Although he also had the technical ability to analyze the body fragments of the Demon Lord, he had no time. Perhaps in the eyes of others, he seemed very leisurely, and he didn't have to manage his territory at all, and even ran around. But in fact, Joshua's busyness was far beyond others' imagination. Just like now, he was halfway to a different world and took some time to obtain information about the Demon Lords.
After communicating with the two legends and confirming that Winter Fortress Academy would take over the next joint study, Joshua left the stone tower. He stood on the Magna hills, slowly looked up and looked into the sky. Then, the warrior turned into a dim silver light and rose straight into the sky.
In the straight flight, Joshua thought a lot in his mind... Demons, abyss, evil gods, gamma-ray storms in another world, gods' inquiries about order, and sages from far away... It sounds complicated, but the warrior is a simple person. For him, no matter how many doubts he has, he cannot stop, and can only give him more motivation to move forward.
“There are so many interesting questions.”
In this way, you won't be bored during this period.
Thinking of this, Joshua came to the void outside of Mycrov. Under the silver glow of the sacrificial ground in the world, he stood in the turbulent flow of time and space. The warrior looked around. He seemed to notice something. So Joshua seriously said to the void beside him: "Let you wait for a long time, Karlis."
"For me, it's just a moment."
Accompanied by Joshua's words, the turbulence of time and space shakes slowly, and a great will crosses time and space, directly talking to Joshua's spirit. Its voice is gentle and low, with a reassuring tone: "So, are you ready, Joshua?"
"certainly."
The decisive answer came from the turbulent turbulence of time and space. Joshua looked at the chaotic void calmly, and he whispered: "Let's start now."
"Let me see which world is seeking my help."
Chapter completed!
