Soul of Burning Steel

In the world of stars, the first year after the Great Detour Battle, the first month after the summoning ceremony of the "Abyss of Tomorrow" in the atrium.

The world is being changed and colored.

A tense war has lasted for thousands of years, and there is almost no peaceful place except the rear area of ​​the Guardian Alliance. A brand-new extraordinary power has emerged.

This extraordinary power is different from the 'magic', 'element' and 'holy light' introduced with the arrival of a certain sage in the past, which have almost nothing to do with psionic power. It can be said to be a derivative of psionic power , a peculiar variant and transformation.

And just as psionic energy can be divided into "meditation school" and "extreme emotion school", there are also divisions within this power. They are red courage, golden wisdom, turquoise perseverance and blue-purple determination.

Different from supernatural powers such as magic power, which needs to be used and cultivated from scratch, this strange power officially named "Emotional Power" can be used perfectly by applying various psionic skills, and can even fully inherit the user's psionic power , and even go a step further on top of that.

The only thing that can be said to be different is that the power of emotion has extremely high requirements on the mental state of the user, and even has requirements on the mental state of other beings in the surrounding environment.

For example, on the front line of the Guardian Alliance fighting the Chaos Families, the red light of courage awakens the most people, and the awakeners of other emotional lights, unless they are particularly good and determined, their light will be overwhelmed by the red light. Covering, and behind the alliance, it cannot be said that there are no awakeners of the light of courage, but it has an overwhelming disadvantage compared with the other three lights.

This situation also occurs in several different races. For example, some races that are naturally aggressive and indifferent, even if they do not fight often, are more likely to be biased towards red, while those species that focus on thinking and even degenerate their bodies get golden. The favor of the light of wisdom is not a strange thing.

Although, because of the spread and strong vitality of the Chaos Familia, unless it is a real rear area, there will be a varying number of Chaos invasions in every galaxy within the alliance, which will give birth to the light of courage in battle, but It can't be compared with the front line where more than a dozen fleets are required to attack at the same time and take turns to suppress the Chaos Familia in a battle that lasts several days.

The alliance map displayed in the big data even formed a rainbow-like distribution - green at the end, gold and blue-purple in the middle, and red at the front.

Apart from these data, the power of emotion itself is also an extremely strange power.

As soon as it appeared, it caused great changes to the entire Guardians of the Galaxy Alliance. In the "revelation" twenty-eight days ago, a total of thirty-one Omega psykers echoed the power of each emotion force , broke through the current realm directly, and became a brand-new immortal psyker—this almost doubled the high-end combat power within the entire alliance, and even because of the existence of emotional power, they may be more powerful than the previous ones in terms of pure combat. Immortal psykers are stronger.

Among them, the most representative one is the ring-bearer of the "Ring of Courage", Kedar Monain, a fleet commander of the Tanya people.

He performed well in the roundabout battle not long ago, but the home planet fell due to the counterattack of the Chaos Familia. The fleet commander had no choice but to destroy the home star of his own civilization.

Everyone thought that he might fall into grief and self-blame, but the emergence of emotional power made him walk out of the abyss—now, Commander Kedar, who realized true courage and became immortal, became one of the four major emotions. The leader of the power branch organization 'Blazing Sky', he vowed to fight on the front line forever until Chaos no longer exists in 'Tomorrow'.

Similarly, other organizations of emotional power were also established in turn. The "Zuo Hui Tian" of the Ring of Wisdom, the "Hong Yi Tian" of the Ring of Perseverance, and the "Ji Xin Tian" of the Ring of Determination, each branch organization has at least one A 'ring-bearer' that perfectly fits its philosophy.

Of course, due to time, the system of emotional power has not yet fully spread to every corner of the star world, and not everyone can be enlightened and awaken this brand new power—according to the proportion, it is about a million Only one person with rich emotions can awaken the power of emotions. Although this number will gradually increase in the future, it also proves that this kind of extraordinary power is not low for individual aptitude or "spiritual conditions".

But even for an excellent individual who can awaken the power of emotion in the first time, not everyone can fit perfectly. If there are ten billion intelligent beings who awaken the power of emotion, then the "ring-bearer" 'The number may not exceed ten, not only can echo courage, but also echo hatred, anger and madness, not only full of curiosity, but also greed, enthusiasm and indulgence... As the saying goes, there must be good emotions, Negative emotions must also be present, both of which can be controlled. Only in this way can a healthy person be, and only such an existence can become a 'ring-bearer', obtain a materialized copy of the artifact, and the four rings of emotions projection.

In addition to the special features of various systems, the power of emotion can also perform things that the original spiritual power cannot do on the battlefield and in daily life.

As a mixture of psionic energy and vital energy, emotional power is far superior to pure psionic energy in affecting physical existence: the holder of emotional power can materialize his own power and form an energy standpoint that is visible to the naked eye , temporarily using it as a substance.

At a relatively low level, psychic power users rack their brains at most, using psychic stabs to attack other people's minds, and perform heart-piercing attacks, while emotional power users can directly conjure a large iron cone, using the power of the mind The power is directly used to physically pierce the heart.

Of course, this is not to say that psionic power is inferior to emotional power, just like at a high level, psionic power can use various telekinetic abilities to easily clean up an entire battlefield, and invisibly destroy thousands of chaotic creatures. Families are crushed, and the method of emotional power is to concretize a Titan-level heavy armor pulverizer, which physically crushes the entire battlefield.

It's hard to compare which one is stronger and weaker, but psionic power is indeed more of a universal type of ability, capable of knowing everything, but unless it is a real genius, it is difficult to go to the extreme—and the power of emotion Requirements are 'extreme' emotions from the very beginning, and they were created for the purpose of killing, so in terms of combat, the energy utilization efficiency of the two is naturally incomparable.

According to rumors, according to a steel god from the void, if the power of emotion reaches the realm of immortality, or even infinite light, then the "Armageddon-class Star Destroyer" or even the "Star Destroyer" will be embodied. It is not impossible to have a terrifying war killer of this level, but on the front line, many powerful new emotional force holders crushed the fleet of the Chaos Familia, and carried out the "big counterattack" against the dark galaxy, which fully proved the emotional power. The superiority of power in combat.

The 'Spectrum Fleet' concretized by thousands of Omega-level emotional power users, just like game players controlling characters, can completely separate half the battlefield and fight regardless of casualties. This experimental fleet defeated itself One hundred and seventy times as many enemies were completely annihilated by the continuous chaos family, and the results of the battle were beyond everyone's expectations.

Moreover, even if the battleship is shattered, it is nothing more than the user falling into a sage state with no desires and desires for a week or two, unable to arouse the slightest emotion, and it does not even cause soul damage like psionic power.

Under the watchful eyes of the giant god and the psionic integration body, without the two superpowers making a move, the Guardians of the Galaxy Alliance, which was originally on the defensive, turned to the offensive and launched a large-scale clean-up and counterattack against the Chaos Familia. The entire star world Sweeping away the downturn and the dark prospect, it becomes full of hope.

"It's almost there. If there are no major changes, then there is no need for us to take action."

In the void, Joshua said so. He glanced at the galaxy and nodded slightly: "If there is no evil god, or a top Chaos Familia close to the level of the evil god, then it doesn't make much sense for us to take action."

After all, even with Joshua's power, it would take thousands of years to clean up the dark galaxy completely eroded by chaos - it doesn't matter if he kills a few more months or loses a few months, it can even be said to be a waste Li Qi, rather than killing his family members here, he hopes to go outside the world of stars to see if he can find the body of the evil god and kill the root of the real disaster.

[Invitation: The preliminary work is over, Radcliffe, the triple curtain invites you to go to the core center for in-depth exchanges]

"Ah, of course it's fine."

Hearing the request from the Immortal Beacon, Joshua naturally would not refuse it. Rather, it was originally a request he had made before, but he has been following up on the spread of emotional power recently, and the relationship between the Immortal Beacon and its The other two companions made small corrections to the Ring of the Four Gods: "Then, let's go now."

And just when Joshua was spreading his emotional power in the star world, he was invited to go to the core center to further communicate with the triple curtain.

Mycroft World, Myriad Worlds Sacrificial Site, Multi-Galaxy Star Gate Void Base.

Around the main plane of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Field, there are now a large number of void ships under construction to build a huge steel ring base around the plane. The center of the plane fortress, and in addition to the dwarves who are the main engineers, there are also a large number of goblins who are stationed in the construction team as ship builders. These are very proficient in the power of elements, and they also know the mystery of the plane. Changes in the plane body of the world sacrificial site ensure the safety of the construction.

But now, at the completed end, where the cross-border star gate is located, a loud notification sounded in the monitoring area.

"Information shows that there is a large-scale abnormal energy reaction in the bloody battle galaxy!"

In the non-real-time monitoring area, the staff responsible for the information exchange with the monitoring personnel of the alien galaxy, was stunned for a moment after reading a report, but the instinct of her body made her subconsciously press the prompt button to issue a notice to the high-level: "Two Eighteen days ago, abnormal energy fluctuations appeared in the frontiers of the Bloody Galaxy and Amos Royal Court. A little later, the same fluctuations also appeared in the central area of ​​Thakur Annihilation Order. The nature of this energy is similar to Psychic energy, mixed with high-purity vitality-it spreads extremely fast and has a very high energy level. It has now covered one-eighth of the world area of ​​the Blood War Galaxy, spanning Thakur's Annihilation Order and Amos Royal Court. !"

"Intelligence shows that the two major forces did not take any action in response to this abnormal energy. The intelligence personnel speculate that they have indeed encountered a large-scale mutation, which is more serious than we imagined, so that there is no time to care about it!"

The information was passed on layer by layer, and soon spread to the high-level officials of the relevant departments of Mycroft, but most of the people were not particularly interested in this information—although the two natural disaster civilizations in the Bloody Galaxy are indeed very powerful Terrible, but they are extremely far away from the actual control range of the Mycroft civilization, and they don't have more interference capabilities. All the power of the Mycroft civilization today is spent on infrastructure, training, expanding the production system and having children. The disasters of other civilizations are simply out of their attention.

As for the abnormal energy reaction... At this rate of diffusion, it would probably take tens of thousands of years to spread from the Blood War Galaxy to the nearest Mycroft world colony. This is the most optimistic estimate.

The size of the multi-dimensional galaxy is no joke.

However, it is not the same as what these high-level officials think.

Of course, the Mycroft civilization cannot stay out of it.

"—emergency siren—"

Accompanied by the sharp and ear-piercing buzzing sound, the red warning light quickly filled the entire monitoring area. Even if all the intelligence personnel have received specific mental training, they are enough to persist in not fainting in front of a certain adult. , they will still subconsciously feel nervous and alert.

Soon, the content of the alert was quickly played: "Abnormal energy fluctuations have been observed in the Mycroft world... Detect the source, and the starting point for the abnormal energy fluctuations is the Northern Continent, the Hergamos Empire, the Northern Province, and Moldavia. Ya collar!"

"Repeat, the starting point of the abnormal energy fluctuation is 'Moldavian Lord City in the Northern Province'!"

The warning was issued very timely.

But when the sound appeared, the invisible energy fluctuations had already spread, covering the entire Mycroft world and even the surrounding star fields—ordinary people knew nothing about it, and only those who reached the gold level could feel a little heart palpitations. At the Italian level, you can feel a clear abnormality, but at the Legendary level, you can directly determine the source of the abnormality.

The multi-dimensional galaxy star gate base, the holy mountain battleship of the Church of the Seven Gods, and Pope Igor of the Seven Gods are currently holding his own pocket watch-style spiritual terminal, immersed in the spiritual world, and playing in the continent of disputes.

For a strong player who has gone a long way in the realm of legendary high-level, the benefits that can be obtained in the game Continent of Disputes are almost none, and the only thing that can be called valuable is probably only the ones related to aliens. The various civilizational problems and choices that world civilization has encountered. Using history as a guide, leaders of civilizations can better discover and check out the problems in their own civilizations.

However, Igor didn't play Continent of Discord just for this simple reason... He was thinking about whether to set this game as part of the internal level assessment of the Mycroft civilization.

That is to say, use it as a kind of 'standard'.

For ordinary people, the game Continent of Disputes may be just an interesting simulation game. It has elements of intelligence and can spread a lot of knowledge. If you play it well, you can get a lot of benefits... But in reality In fact, the connotation of this game is far more than that. It is not a simple game, but a good educational template.

"Understand the relationship and interests between civilizations and individuals, understand the conflicts and origins of contradictions, the coincidence and necessity of history, understand that extraordinary power and wisdom are not necessary for life, but are very important for our civilization..."

Opening his eyes, the old pope, who had cleared the level again, squinted his eyes slightly, looked at the galaxy map hanging in front of him, and said in a low voice: "The most important thing is to understand the environment I am in now, this world, for the multiverse How beautiful and precious it is for many civilizations.”

Continent of Disputes, in Eagle's eyes, is the highest level of entertainment, a revolution in education, and a sublimation of thinking mode—even if it is the most ordinary, only thinking about wives and children, and there is no ambition When ordinary people play this game for 'benefits' or 'entertainment', they will involuntarily, or in other words, be guided to think and become a leader of civilization.

Perhaps one time is not enough, but as long as you play enough times, even a fool can gradually awaken his will to be the master and inspire motivation.

"Although it seems that he doesn't know much about 'emotion' at all, in fact, he has always been very precise about 'emotion'."

Yes, how could he not understand? How can a general who can lead a charge and a soldier who can fight against the enemy who descends like the sea and the sky without fear, how can he not understand "emotion"? That is the sword oil smeared on the edge called strife, the best maintenance and whetstone.

And at this moment, inexplicable energy fluctuations swept past. The old pope had already noticed this when the fluctuations appeared in Moldavia, but he, who had known Joshua's plan for a long time, just chuckled , let this fluctuation sweep away.

"Hmm... Zhuo Huitian? The ring of wisdom? There is also Jixintian, the ring of determination... The name is still so simple and straightforward, which one is better..."

Sitting in his seat, closing his eyes, and then opening them again, Igor looked at the golden rune ring that appeared on the palm of his hand, raised his eyebrows, and said with a chuckle: "But the design is not bad, This guy Joshua has improved."

"quite pretty."

The abnormal energy fluctuations are still spreading, and even the star gate has not become a barrier, but has become a port to gather it.

after a while.

The starting point is the galaxy, the edge of the silent void, in an ether world shrouded in darkness.

The seven divine lights are flying inside the dark world, in the vacuum, and a huge, funnel-like silver machine is rumbling, converting the huge matter transmitted by the endless divine power into the power of steel, and then shaping it again into a Various parts, structures and continental plates, are placed in a phantom ring around the star.

This funnel-shaped machine is as huge as a gaseous giant star, but it is a real entity. Its own mass alone is enough to ignite the fusion flame inside, and the Seven Gods cooperate with this machine to make it run endlessly. And substantiate the material to shape a building larger than the stars.

An erratic magic projection is located above the machine. She is a Winged Man with black wings and long blue hair. No. 3 cooperates with the Seven Gods to move the position of the star machine.

It can be seen that around this giant machine named 'Star Shaper', there is a section of the world ring skeleton that has been erected one-seventh. Of course, this is only the most basic. After the skeleton is built, it needs to be filled in. Life support system, self-energy supply, self-repair and even self-manufacturing living metal production modules, but in any case, everything has been on the right track. According to this stone, it is only a matter of time before the ring world is successfully formed.

Energy fluctuations are coming, it should have been shielded by the black body barrier, but because it has the same source as its maker, it has already been set up as a code, and this fluctuation can enter it without hindrance, and then spread throughout the entire ether world.

Number 3 blinked her eyes, she felt that this inexplicable fluctuation was echoing herself, but due to the divine power left by the emblem inherited by the God of the Sky, the power that was essentially derived from another god was shielded in this way. However, No. 3 quickly remembered the source of this fluctuation, and the artificial intelligence girl who knew that the plan was successfully carried out showed a faint smile, and then continued to control the operation of the machine, creating a huge metal skeleton in a vacuum.

"Really, Sir Radcliffe is very fast."

"sharp."

"He has always been like this, and I am even a little surprised."

"Don't talk too much, we still have things to do... Mortals have their own lives, and we also have our tasks."

"That's it..."

"But sure enough, I still feel a little emotional."

Most of the Seven Gods are concentrating on building the ring world. This task is related to the continuation of the Mycroft civilization and many other civilizations in the future, and there is no room for the slightest distraction. Therefore, even if they appreciate what Joshua has done, but They still didn't say much, but continued with their work.

There was only one, the dwarf god, the god of protection and progress, Yi Zhe temporarily stopped his work.

The oldest god, who recalled the most memories, and who spent the longest time with the sages in the past, looked at the direction of the wave with a look of nostalgia.

"You bastard, can you see..."

He murmured in a low voice, the substantive divine power eyes were a little swaying, and Yi Zhe couldn't help clenching his fists, with an expression of crying and laughing: "Just like you created the prototype of the holy light back then... you arrogant, pretending to be Kind and benevolent guy... Can you see it?! You are not the only genius in this world! There are also people who can do this step, even faster than you, much faster than you were at the beginning!!"

"Your successor has finally reached this step and embarked on the same transcendence as you!"

"...can you see..."

The world of stars saw it, and the bloody galaxy saw it.

The Royal Court of Amos, the Thakur Annihilation Order, the Mycroft civilization, the Seven Gods, the legends, and even other civilizations, the void civilizations around the other Mycroft colonies, they all saw it.

Everything in the multi-dimensional galaxy has witnessed all this.

Witness this moment that made history.

As for the origin of everything, Joshua van Radcliffe didn't care about the huge waves he caused, and he who was going to the central processing unit with the immortal lighthouse didn't care about these things at all.

Because all of this was just the first step in his plan.

"This is just the beginning."

What he has to do, what he wants to do, is far more than anyone imagined.

The first update, to make up for yesterday's update, I'll see if I can write a second update...
