Soul of Burning Steel

"This is the entrance, sorry we can't move on, the rest of the journey needs to be completed by you alone."

In the center of the dome of the royal court, void battleships of different shapes were guided by the royal court guards into the Qinjian passage. They watched with eyes of envy mixed with reverence, and each one was able to be killed by the emperor because of the elimination of the 'limit creatures'. The summoned heroes watched them slowly step into the 'inner circle' shrouded in the halo of the nebula light cluster.

"Meet the emperor..." They sighed and sighed, watching each other's shadow gradually disappear in the nebula: "When will I have such a day?"

No one heard the guards talking to themselves.

Enter the inner circle, pass through the arch made of the corona, step into the hall made of nebula, and then walk up countless levels of rainbow light steps, which is the accelerated passage made of materialized magic and ether, but this passage is only clearly visible The part of it is hundreds of kilometers long-everything in the inner circle of the royal court is so grand that it seems like a dream.

I didn't need to use any force at all, the surging ether flow pushed Erma and Kreiler to move forward rapidly. After thirty minutes, they ended this short journey and came to a huge, luminous pure body. The top of the white platform.

This high platform presents a nearly conical shape with a narrow top and a wide bottom, and a flat top. It is about thousands of kilometers high. If it were placed on a planet, it must be an extremely amazing structure that breaks through the sky. In the center, it is located around the avatar of Amos the Great, so this obviously extremely majestic high platform gives people the impression that it is not much better than a needle, and it is almost negligible.

On the top of the high platform is a dense rune array with a radius of about seven kilometers. It started to activate after Erma entered, creating a regular semicircular energy shield—whether it is the high platform or the previous one. The series of steps are actually not a waste of time, they are necessary measures to prevent other Amos from being harmed when they approach the emperor.

If you don't do this, I am afraid that the existence under the legend will not be able to approach the emperor at all, let alone communicate with him.

"Wait here?"

Watching Erma come to the center of the rune formation, fix herself, and prepare to face the next impact, the human captain felt uneasy, nervously he expressed doubts about it, because all this was not what Kreller imagined. no the same.

He originally thought that he and Erma would be in the same hall, waiting for a divine thought from the avatar of Amos to come and communicate, just like local officials meeting the emperor of the empire. But now, he realized that the Amos are not human beings, they are genuine alien beings, a alien race separated by countless galaxies, their culture, customs and even living habits are completely different from human beings. The reason for being able to communicate smoothly with Erma is that Erma is a heterogeneous species among alien races.

For the race that once used mountains as its territory, and whose strength was distinguished by who occupied the higher mountains, when meeting with more powerful beings, it was necessary to build the tallest and most conspicuous high platform to give way to the higher "strong" ', I can barely see myself, instead of bothering the other party to bow their heads.

——The strong will not look down on the weak, they will only communicate with the visible existence.

This is the culture of the Amos.

Elma didn't answer Kreller's question.

Because 'he' has come.

On the high platform, the hazy nebula mist began to tremble, and a huge perfect circular golden cyclone began to appear above it. The diameter of this cyclone exceeded 15,000 kilometers, and there was an obviously incomparable fault every thousands of kilometers. This makes it look like a giant, moving eye.

As the giant eye capable of swallowing planets took shape, an unpredictable sense of coercion filled the entire space, and it could be seen that the semicircular shield on the high platform began to crackle, and a pale silver arc violently struck above it. The flickering seemed to be resisting some kind of extremely powerful attack, which even caused the entire platform to shake slightly, but because of the protection of the shield, Erma and Kreiler did not feel the coercion, but their mouths were dry Looking at all this with a dry tongue, he dared not breathe.

It can be seen that the giant eye turned its direction and gradually aimed at the high platform——in front of it, the empty high platform thousands of kilometers high was just a small needle erected, but at least it could barely be called a 'almost' thing.

"Erma - Universal Instance 19090763."

The giant eyes aimed at the high platform, aimed at the translucent void battleship in the center of the high platform - and in an instant, a suffocating sense of mental oppression swept through Erma's spiritual world like a tsunami flood.

If it hadn't been for the blessing of the spiritual protection spell, Elma felt that her soul would be severely injured in an instant, but even with the blessing of protection, she could barely hear the information contained in the spiritual torrent.

"Thinking individual, general-purpose individual, combat individual... very excellent resume, you are an Amos with outstanding talents, if it is not because of some slack in recent years, you can become a general."

The information conveyed by the giant eyes is plain and straightforward, without any emotional color, just like human beings repeating information to a piece of ant's height data. However, in the second half of the conversation, there was a hint of intriguing emotion in the message: "You killed an 'extreme individual' in the crowd area and protected many thinking individuals from retreating safely. You did a good job. However, the Due to fusion and evolution, the extreme individual quickly reached the point of "title general" in the general sense, he is enough to easily prey on planets, and even barely survived a supernova explosion."

"It's very abnormal, Erma. With your strength, even a seriously injured extreme individual cannot win. Even if the opponent's thinking center is malfunctioning, you have exploded with explosive power far beyond normal, and you shouldn't be able to win so easily. You definitely did not rely on your own strength to defeat the opponent."

The giant eyes rotated, staring at the center of the high platform: "You have the smell of Mrs. Micro, ah, there is actually a larva of Mrs. Micro. I feel it, has he stretched out his hand here? "

Kreller swallowed nervously, and even touched his belt subconsciously, but because he was too nervous, he couldn't even secrete his saliva, so he could only retch... The coercion brought by these giant eyes is really too much. It's too terrifying. Although the coercion of the Generalissimo and the Seven Gods is equally terrifying, even worse, when facing ordinary people, they will try their best to suppress this coercion.

Facing Emperor Amos, who had obviously discovered Joshua's tricks, his legs were not weak - because if they were weak, he would not be able to escape. But even if he was given a dozen more legs, would it be possible for Kreiler to escape? Thinking of Erma's previous analysis and explanations, and the fact that he and Erma had no chance to evade this interview from the beginning to the end, Kreil could only forcefully suppress the anxiety in his heart and stay in Erma's body, Not a word.

But the distraction of the emperor's avatar - the golden storm eye did not say much in this regard, he just said lightly: "Erma, tell that Mrs. Microro that the coward is playing tricks behind the scenes. He can bring The fleet has come to attack my world, I welcome it very much, and look forward to fighting him again."

Whether it's Erma or Kreiler, they can hear a hint of 'expectation' from this vast spiritual torrent, and even feel a little 'excitement' to get rid of boredom. All in all, the other party's emotions are completely different from the expected 'anger' and 'indifference', which is extremely puzzling.

For Kreiler, he was just relieved - although he didn't know why, it seemed that Emperor Amos was not as cruel and bloodthirsty as he expected, and he actually skipped this matter.

But after being in a trance for a while, Elma understood why Emperor Amos had such an attitude.

—Would you be offended at someone who tempted an ant in your ant nest with sugar?

of course not. No matter how you think about it, he earned it, right? Even if there is something behind, it's just an ant, it's not a big deal, it's not important to let the other party know the information about the ant's nest, even if you want to get angry, you will be angry at that person, not at the ant.

Especially this tempted ant, because of eating sugar, his strength increased greatly, and he also helped eradicate pests in a nest-what is there to be angry about? It would be better to have a few more. I really want to thank such diverse friends for their selfless help.

Simple couldn't be simpler thinking.

But it makes people feel unwilling and angry.

——For the betrayer, if even the betrayal itself cannot make the betrayed feel a little bit of pain, then what is the value of her rebellion? Even though she had already guessed the thinking mode of Amos the Great, Elma still felt extremely humiliated.

betray? Do the weak deserve it?

The bewilderment and humiliation, anger and unwillingness that flashed in Erma's heart at this moment exceeded the sum of the past decades, and the source of all these came from her own powerlessness. She really would rather Emperor Amos put herself It's better to kill, and I don't want to be turned a blind eye like this.

Perhaps it is only when the Mycroft civilization, the Grand Marshal that Kreller calls it, can the emperor pay attention to it, and even send clones to test and fight, expressing anger and other emotions.

Naturally, the giant golden eyes didn't care about Erma's emotions. In other words, he noticed it, but it didn't matter. He even found it interesting. He was distracted and said quite casually: "Whether you rely on your own strength or not, in a word, you have eradicated an extreme creature, which is very interesting and worthy of reward. Tell me, what do you want?"

He generously gave a share of the wish: "As long as it doesn't conflict with other people's wishes, I will satisfy you."

Elma opened her mouth, and the Void Battleship was trembling slightly.

"Why……"

The time has finally come—finally being able to communicate with the Great Emperor face to face, and finally being able to fulfill my long-cherished wish.

Even if the other party is just a distraction of a clone, even if the other party has never looked at her directly, but at this time, Elma still feels extremely nervous-so she can only use a bitter voice without any fluctuations. , said softly: "Why don't you take action to wipe out these extreme viruses?"

The golden storm's giant eyes turned for a while, as if they heard something interesting.

But at this moment, Elma raised her head and forced all her observation organs to look up at the giant golden eyes. Her tone of voice began to return to normal: "My lord, the extreme virus has ravaged hundreds of worlds. , even several times or ten times more than this number, just as far as I know, tens of billions of Amos have died during this period of time—in less than three days.”

"I... I felt it from a strong man in another world. His power can expel extreme viruses and prevent them from spreading. In the frontier star field, I witnessed this power. It really wiped out all extreme viruses around. Let the plague dissipate... Great king, you, you must be able to do it too? As long as you are willing, even the strong from other worlds cannot compare, and you will be able to easily wipe out all the extreme viruses in our country!"

Elma's tone was agitated. If she had hands, she must have squeezed her palms tightly with the force of pinching blood. In her body, Kreiler could feel that Erma had already Life and death were out of the question, and she simply did not deny the existence of Joshua.

But this excitement is meaningless.

"Is this your wish? To wipe out the extreme virus."

The message sent by the giant golden eyes is very calm: "It's a bit greedy, Erma, but your appetite is quite interesting."

"Okay, I agree."

The easy agreement made Elma unable to react for a while, and the tentacles of the Void Battleship echoed blankly in midair, as if she didn't hear clearly.

But soon, a message with a bit of regret came from the giant golden eye.

"Originally, I wanted to see how many people in the royal court have this aptitude and can maximize it. After all, it is the owner of that voice. What it said is quite interesting... Is it the last hope? If it is not a critical period, I really want to see it. look."

At this time, Elma is still confused.

——Emperor, agreed?

Just like that, easily, without any resistance, easily, with almost no hesitation in agreeing?

He can do it! He can do it! Unlike what he thought before, the emperor may not be able to do it, this matter is a piece of cake for him!

He really can do it if he wants to do it, the reason why he let the limit virus ignore it, let the limit creature destroy... is because he doesn't want to do it!

This was the last straw that crushed Elma's unwillingness.

"No, Great Emperor...why?"

In a dreamlike tone, she asked the giant golden eyes that seemed to want to disappear in disbelief: "You can clearly do it...why didn't you expel the limit virus earlier, but let hundreds of billions of Amos people go like this To die worthless?"

He recalled the eroded skeletons he saw in many plague-infected places, including fighters, researchers, and naturally civilians. They are either bringing their children and giving birth to the next generation, or they are working hard to contribute to the great cause of the royal family.

They all have families, lives, careers, friendships, independent personalities, small or great aspirations and ambitions, and hopes and expectations for the future.

But they all fell down in yesterday and today, and can no longer see tomorrow.

"They are all your people, reverence and worship your Amos!"

The giant golden eyes paused, turned around, and stared at the agitated Elma quite interestingly, as if staring at a butterfly flapping its wings.

"It says that this is the last war, and that a great disaster is about to occur, cutting off the way to the source."

Giant Eye seemed to be talking to himself, he didn't have any emotional changes because of Erma's questioning: "I think that in the face of a disaster that even the voice thinks is 'huge', you will definitely be destroyed , in this case, infecting the extreme virus is nothing more than dying earlier, not to mention that there will be a few interesting extreme individuals in it."

"What's more, the extreme virus doesn't work on commander-level creatures. It can just wipe out a little weaker, and I don't have to do it myself. I think it's very convenient."

It can be regarded as condescending to answer Elma's question, just like humans would pause for a while because of the butterflies flying by the roadside and watch each other fly curiously. Amos the Great smiled distractedly: "Speaking of it, you kill me!" The extreme individual that fell is really a powerful one. If it wasn't hit hard by a supernova, it would soon go to the stars to absorb stellar matter and evolve, becoming a star eater. There are not many of them in the entire royal court. An extreme individual of this level, I originally wanted to see if there would be an existence above the Star Devourer as the plague spread."

This curious smile and profound indifference made Elma unable to breathe for a while.

She finally understood that the nature of Emperor Amos was probably worse than she had imagined before.

"Could it be that the existence of the Amos is just a tool to satisfy your interest and curiosity..." Elma groaned, feeling that the organs in her body were convulsing, rejecting this reality: "That thousand thousand Tens of thousands, hundreds of millions of people, is it just a number..."

"if not."

The golden giant eyes were puzzled, but after thinking about it, he continued: "Of course, it's not that bad. You are living creatures after all, and I like you very much, especially for an interesting individual like you. Although Amo There is only one among the staff, but after all, one or two will appear from time to time."

"But to be honest, except for an interesting individual like you, the other Amos are really worthless."

I don't know whether it is tolerance or cruelty, the giant golden eyes smiled and said: "Amos, any one of my clones can instantly create hundreds of millions, billions, hundreds of billions is no problem, the mass of a planet does not need to It’s a very easy thing to say, your ancestors are the Amos I created, because they are perfect and not like the previous ones, so they haven’t been updated for a long time.”

Noticing Elma who seemed to be about to say something, her giant golden eyes easily read the other person's thoughts: "The former Amos?"

"Oh, because it's too ugly and ruined."

The first update, the double monthly ticket activity seems to be? Then I will explode the update, ask for a monthly ticket
