Soul of Burning Steel

[The devil did not exist from the beginning. 】

High Lord Helm has always thought so. Even though it itself exists in thousands of worlds, it is revered by many different races as the [Demon with Thousand Eyes and Thousand Pupils].

Strictly speaking, this conclusion is not wrong. In the final analysis, the name devil was originally a name set by outside races without authorization, but it was also spread in the abyss at some point. The demons in each layer of the abyss have a unique self-name for their own race in their language. It is derived from the name of the race that lived on this land before the death of the world.

Those guys who just turned around in the abyss a little bit, and started to name them demons without authorization, they didn't understand everything behind it and came to the conclusion arrogantly, but the fact is contrary to it, this multi-dimensional There are no 'true demons' in the universe, nor are there 'chaos from birth' beings.

How can there be such a creature that defies logic? Although there is an innate disposition to be vicious or not in the behavior of life, the acquired cultivation is equally important.

All the reasons are because of this world.

The sky has been shrouded in smoke and dust for thousands of years, and the earth has been eroded by poison for thousands of years. The body of the 'demon' may be just an ordinary creature—but, in this wasteland where even the soul will gradually decay without killing and plundering each other. Above, there has never been a soil for the birth of goodness and order.

That's all.

Regarding the onslaught from the giant god below him, Helm did not immediately plan a counterattack. Facing the giant lava hand that was approaching constantly, a long-lost emotion rose in the demon lord's heart, and that emotion The name has been somewhat forgotten, and amidst the tremors of nostalgia, its memory returned to the long past in an instant.

That was about nine hundred years ago. A certain powerful alien mage accidentally came to the sixth abyss because of the failure of the teleportation. It could not find the way home, so it could only wander in this barren wasteland. At that time, there was no abyss lord in the molten sea and fire prison. There is no demon king, only one big demon ruled one side. With the strength of this mage, it is enough to occupy a piece of land and become a non-demon lord. This is actually not uncommon. Many evil dragons have placed their lairs in a corner of an abyss, but this mage misses him all the time. Looking at his family, he thought that at least he had to leave this bad world, and he was always looking for a way to leave.

Finally, it found it, and the mage came to the banks of the River Styx. It wanted to use this long river that ran through the endless world to leave. It believed that it could succeed, but the fact was not satisfactory.

While the black river was rushing, its body was corroded by the river Styx, and its soul collapsed. Under the power of the abyss, it reincarnated into countless wild abyss worms. Helm's mind was extracted from the soul fragments of this outsider mage. Born, it is the best among the group of abyss worms, possessing wisdom and power since the moment it was born.

Relying on this natural talent, Helm devoured most of the brothers and sisters, and spliced ​​out part of his inheritance from most of the mage's soul fragments, inheriting the other's name. In this way, it grows all the way, relying on prudence, cruelty and powerful strength, Helm finally became the demon lord hundreds of years later, and led his army back to his "hometown" world, completing his first One conquest.

The thousand-eyed demon calmly reviewed his life in an instant. It revisited all the efforts it made to survive when it was still weak, and the excitement and ecstasy after achieving each goal, and it suddenly dawned on it.

I don't know since when, it has been dazzled by successive victories. The continuous conquests and successes have inflated its confidence. The famous gluttonous lord, it also thinks that the other party is just the lucky one who got the position because of being favored by the abyss. This is the arrogance born of strength, and it is also an overinflated conceit.

The arrogance made it make its first mistake, which was to underestimate the majesty in front of it. And its second mistake is that it thinks that it can solve the opponent without exerting all its strength.

So stupid.

boom! At this moment, a huge roar from the ground could barely be heard, and the iron giant had already carried the extremely violent hurricane, and grabbed the demon lord who stopped in place for some reason.

"Indeed, I have forgotten that there are still many powerful people in the multiverse. Every existence that can sublimate its own life form should not be underestimated. Whether it is a demon or other races, this is true. They are all dangerous and powerful. Wise and resourceful, and a real threat to my life."

Click! It was long and seemed to be a moment, separated from memory, said the demon lord who had been held in the hands of the steel giant. Its voice has a wonderful rhythm, which seems to fit a certain strange frequency, which stimulates the surrounding magical elements to run, but how could Joshua listen to a demon? The soldier naturally puts more force into his hand to crush it in an instant, he is not the one who will stop when talking to the other side.

But what is amazing is that no matter how hard the steel giant tried, the body of the demon lord, who was not so hard when he was beaten before, did not burst open. Helm's body shell was slightly dented, and at this moment, the demon said in a more dangerous calm tone instead of being furious: "You reminded me of fear, thank you."

Crack, crack! The sound of carapace shattering sounded, and countless cracks began to spontaneously crack open all over Helm's body. The golden-red ultra-high-temperature rays turned into surging torrents of light, igniting the ordinary shell of the demon lord, and the endless heat and light Jetted out from the gap between the giant god's fingers, the aftermath irradiated on the clouds and the earth, causing bursts of violent explosions in an instant, and the last voice of the devil also came from it:

"Strong, I will go all out!"

boom! Accompanied by the sound of the entire black smoke and dust sky being ignited, the worm demon Gwaganda, who had fled to the distance, couldn't help but look back, and then, it saw a giant iron god, and a giant god wrapped around it, piercing through it. The sky and the earth are connected to the cloud and the earth, a golden snake composed entirely of pure energy! There are densely packed pupils all over the body of this incomparably huge python. Countless pupils were originally closed, but they are opening one after another. Every opening of the pupils makes the aura of this giant python even higher. An extremely hot flame burned on its body, as if it wanted to destroy everything, and the golden light filled the sky, shining on the sea of ​​clouds.

'Demons' are embers that have lost their fire. They come from the dead world, so they are extremely eager for the breath of life, trying to get the glory of burning again. Although it is rare, if the ashes are ignited again, then the light will be no less than the real flame.

"This is... the true form of His Majesty!"

The worm stopped running, it stayed where it was, and Gwaganda looked at the thousand-eyed python that lived high in the sky and wrestled with the giant god with adoring, fearful and extremely longing eyes. The king's body in the body, Helm had already turned into a pure energy creature hundreds of years ago, the ray magic it usually used was just a little heat leaking from the gap in the body, but at this moment, The giant and the giant python fell from the sky together, and the huge bodies rubbed against the air, bringing up huge clouds and sparks, and as the two terrifying existences actually fell to the ground, the entire central area of ​​the Sixth Abyss was shaken. , There was a continuous explosion of thunder, and a cloud of dust that covered the sky and the sun was raised.

"what happened……"

At this moment, above the sky, the Balrog who was thrown out just now and just woke up opened his eyes in pain and confusion. Syndicate found that he had changed from the giant sword to its original form at some point, and It was falling from the pitch-black sky, it was still alive, but one-third of its body had been evaporated, and the flames all over its body had turned into pure white, but the Balrog didn't have time to regret his own death. The body may be glad that it is still alive, it just fell from the sky, while looking in shock at the huge light spot that suddenly lit up in the distance, in the light spot, countless beams of light exploded, piercing through the clouds, it kept sweeping, The entire sky is cut into pieces.

"It's terrible... so terrible!"

At the very center of the battle, a lucky demon survivor huddled behind a boulder. This seducer with a human body likes to travel to different worlds, lurking in the crowd to spy on souls. They are good at magic and are all The protagonist in the story of the devil's contract, now this immature juvenile body temptation demon trembled violently, and countless lava fragments splashed out at several times the speed of sound, hitting the surrounding ground, causing holes one after another, The high temperature also melted the entire Styx River into a sea of ​​flames. The demon who stayed in the only safe place did not dare to turn his head to watch the fight between the two great beings. If he survived, he would no longer stay in the abyss, but just find a place to live in seclusion, even if he didn't eat souls for the rest of his life, it didn't matter.

"Barnier, do you feel that breath is very familiar?"

In the corner of the Sixth Abyss, in the Creeping Forest, two legendary spellcasters raised their heads in doubt. The legendary bard William slightly straightened the oblique belt around his waist. He looked towards the southeast direction that was faintly golden and red, and said to his old partner in a rare and serious tone: "Don't look at those who can crawl. It's a tree - look up!"

Hearing his friend's urging, the silver-haired old man raised his head reluctantly. Barnier was currently studying the countless strange lives between animals and plants on the ground. He had a premonition that this time he would definitely He could find clues about Gu Long, but the old man couldn't bear the urging of his friend, and he was also a little curious, so he also looked towards the southeast.

So, the two legends opened their eyes wide together—at the end of the sky, they could see such an illusion: the four-armed giant standing upright grabbed a flaming python that also pierced the sky, but the giant python also entangled it, The friction between the two bodies produced waves of thunder. The giant swung his fist, beating the giant python like hitting an iron block on a forging platform, and the countless pupils of the giant python also released dazzling beams of eyes that made people can't help but close their eyes, cutting Every vital point of the giant, the attacks of the two burst out dazzling white sparks, this light illuminated a small half of the sixth abyss, even they could clearly see it.

On the other side of the world, the world of the human beings, on this continent named "Zogar" by many human beings, countless demon armies who were killing and invading wantonly stopped suddenly, and the berserker who was climbing the city wall was stunned. Stopped in the middle of the city wall, and was beaten down by the soldiers guarding the city. The worm that sucked the brain and soul of a human also suddenly pulled out its mouthparts, and stopped in place in a daze. This scene happened in Zogar Continent In every corner of the world, those who were slaughtering, attacking, eating and celebrating wantonly, all the demons brought into this world by Helm felt a tremor from the depths of their souls without exception.

They looked in shock at the gate of the abyss above the sky like the eye of the deep—there, opened by the demon lord, the giant portal that spanned the two worlds was slowly closing and closing, and its owner fought with all his might, Withdrawing all the external power, with the closing of the gate of the abyss, the breath from the abyss is rapidly dissipating, and without the infection from the power of the abyss, these alien creatures will undoubtedly be suppressed by the local world , In this way, the strength gap between them and the local residents will quickly narrow.

Boom, boom, boom, the angle of view keeps switching, accompanied by bursts of bursting sounds like balloons being punctured, thousands of hidden existences hidden in every corner of the abyss, scattered in many worlds suddenly turned into a flame-like The eyeballs followed the guidance from the void, and returned to their own body in an instant. Before that, they might have been a taciturn restaurant buddy, or they might have been a silent worker in a certain mine. Miner, it may be a seabird flying in the sky, or it may be a wild boar rolling in the mud, but these are all illusions, and they are all spread by the demon lord Helm without exception. An eye pupil clone dispatched to gather information.

But now, these avatars have all dissipated and their powers have been withdrawn. This may delay some plans for hundreds of years, and directly expose the failure of some long-planned conspiracies. But at this time, Helm didn't think too much about it. It is fighting the enemy with every ounce of its strength, and the enemy in front of it is worth it.

The demon lord said that it must go all out, but the facts have proved that it must go all out. Facing the warriors who are also using all their strength, if the thousand-eyed giant python does not explode at all times, it can melt the rays of the hills to block it. , it is very likely to be grasped and dismantled by the opponent's four arms. In contrast, if the steel giant does not seriously gather all its strength to defend against the impact of the giant python's energy flow, then even an ultra-high-density material body will be destroyed. Enemy attacks are scattered.

In the center of the one-man-one-demon battle, it has been completely filled with high-concentration ion plasma, and large pieces of material debris burst out from time to time in the vacuum, which was formed by the collapse of a part of the iron giant's body. On the other side, the energy python His body is also flickering, and the substantive psychic body is no less than the real body most of the time, but facing this monster composed entirely of high-density matter in front of him, the psychic body can mobilize energy to repair itself at any time The advantage cannot be displayed at all, and the enemy's damage speed is far less than its energy recovery speed.

Boom boom boom—the thunderous explosion seemed to be cut into countless small parts, and it sounded with the distorted atmosphere that was wantonly torn apart. During the battle between the two legendary powerhouses in the material world, the environment suffered a devastating blow. hit.

Joshua silently endured countless attacks from the giant python with thousands of eyes. Explosions that could completely destroy a building were continuously transmitted from his body, but it was nothing to him. The skin is similar to reactive armor, which can store energy. As long as it bears a certain amount of impact, it will self-detonate, reducing most of the pure impact and heat damage. At the same time, Joshua is also constantly fine-tuning the surface of his body, so that It becomes more and more smooth like a mirror, reflecting part of the energy of the rays.

But Helm is not weak, of course it is not, not only that, it is also very strong, strong enough to ignore all of this.

The giant snake suddenly shook violently, and a substantial ray exploded from its tail, impacting on the iron giant. The force brought by this impact was strong enough to collapse a mountain peak, and it was also enough to knock out a large depression in the plain. Of course, it can also push the warrior back. I saw the steel giant raised his hands into a cross and firmly received the blow, but his whole body also moved back nearly a thousand meters, creating two long lines on the ground. long ditch.

And at this moment, Helm, who had distanced himself, suddenly spoke.

"It's such a strong body that shocked me...it's a pity."

Before he finished speaking, thousands of pairs of huge eyes on the body of the demon lord scanned thousands of meters away. The giant who was slowly lowering his arms with smoke came from the talent of the legendary beholder [the omniscient eye] 】Every structure, every particle of matter, every high-density particle structure, all energy radiation and electromagnetic stance from the whole body of the opponent can be fully seen, and every energy node and force flow direction of the fighter It's so clear, it's as if it's within reach.

There is no flaw. It so thought. This terrifying enemy who didn't know where it came from is indeed a real strong man. After such a fierce battle, he can still maintain a flawless defensive posture, which is almost perfect.

But the demon lord didn't care. Helm knew, or it was better.

In a short moment, the light on the gigantic giant energy python with a length of nearly 200 meters began to dim, and the black sky was covered with a touch of golden brilliance, and it began to retreat quickly. Under the control of Helm , the countless eye pupils all over the body of the thousand-eyed thousand-pupil python began to close sequentially from the tail, dimmed, and the huge energy began to condense and gather without limit. This is exactly the path chosen by the demon lord.

Agglomeration, unlimited agglomeration, pressurizes energy and temperature without limit, until the high temperature and high pressure can crush pure gold into nothingness, crush the most basic structure of matter, and repress the crushed product into a brand new one exist!

Until the end, all the pupils of the eyes were closed, and the light was dimmed. It seemed that the entire abyss had returned to darkness, but only a little bit of Venus shone on the earth with a brilliance that ordinary people would be blind if they looked directly.

Bark———An indescribable tremor sounded, the first thing to be crushed was the fine dust in the air, the transparent atmosphere turned into a gray-white cloud under the movement of the tiny medium, and then the most basic structure of matter, The microscopic structure of the particle is completely dissociated at this time, and the electrons surrounding its core begin to transition in a high-energy environment, and the extremely huge energy squeezes these cores forcibly until they merge into one——

In an instant, an indescribable, unquantifiable power rose up from the smallest and most basic place of matter, and the incredible fusion power was transformed into a bursting and galloping stream of light under the control of the demon lord, and just like that, towards Going forward with the mighty rush of the steel giant!

"You don't understand my power."

The light of the new version of Godzilla shooting down the bomber is so handsome, but I don’t know how to write it in words at all, the limitation of the novel...

It's late today, but there is still an update...
