Soul of Burning Steel

[It is not powerful at the beginning, but it can produce mutations and evolve by consuming various resources and energy

A single one is actually very weak no matter how it evolves, even if it mutates into an extremely powerful individual, it is not a long-term solution for the population itself, so they always gather in groups

Not only relying on their own strength, they are good at using the host's flesh and blood, and everything about the host to contribute to their own survival

Silently, one host was destroyed, and they went to the next host, repeating the cycle again and again]

Regarding the evil plague god, Eagle's thoughts are not surprising.

After all, after encountering the crisis of the evil god of weakness and the evil god of death, and obtained a lot of information about fighting the evil god and the other party from the information of the unified large information base and the knowledge receiver, the current Mycroft civilization has already faced The evil god didn't have the inexplicable sense of fear in the past.

The greatest fear in the world is the unknown.

And after eliminating the fog brought by the unknown, even the evil god is just an extremely powerful enemy of chaos, not an invincible totem—not to mention that the evil god of plague was not considered a 'strong one' in the past. 'At most, it's about the same as the Weakness Cthulhu.

As for the strength of the weakened evil god, if it is at the level when it was just recovered, with the strength of the current Mycroft United Expeditionary Fleet, it can be directly eliminated, let alone Igor, even the natural teacher thinks that if he does a good job Prepared, also can be evenly matched with the opponent. If it is a complete form that requires nine glorious legends to join forces to deal with it, it is nothing more than a few more legends standing shoulder to shoulder, and it will not take much effort.

Therefore, it is normal for Igor not to believe that the Plague Cthulhu is not stronger than the Weak Cthulhu in strength.

"Actually not necessarily."

Regarding Eagle's rather firm answer, Barnier on the side shook his head. He didn't refute the old pope's remarks, but gave an example: "It may not be the evil god of chaos... the disturbance of superdimensional information, this This ability is not exclusive to evil gods—you see."

After finishing speaking, Barnier raised his hand. This legendary mage who specializes in runes, is good at creating elemental life, and transforms his body into a rune fortress condensate, has six mainstream elements and a certain concentration of magic power in his hand. , the ether light mist, can still be seen, there is a certain amount of life energy and soul mixed in it, as well as various oxygen, nitrogen... Many elements converge into one body to form a condensed mass of extraordinary power... Or, to put it another way, form a The standard 'air' was mediocre.

In the vast majority of life worlds, the atmosphere composed of extraordinary power and ordinary elements—the one created by Barnier is such an ordinary thing.

"I simulated the concentration of extraordinary power in many worlds in the current void. In theory, the extraordinary power is the most stable, and will not cause conflicts and comparisons of changes. But you see."

While speaking, Barnier's palm moved slightly, and an almost undetectable energy ripple swept across, affecting this cloud of standard air.

Then, something astonishing happened—following this energy fluctuation, which even a legendary powerhouse could hardly detect, affected a tiny bit of element in the air, and a wonderful chain reaction began to take place: first of all, Various elements began to gather and condense with each other, forming the most basic "self-replicating element condensate" of element life, and then further producing larger element particles, element crystals, and element crystal clusters... Then, there is The most basic, like a cloud of mist, the simplest elemental life.

"Yeah~"

After the birth, this cloud of misty elemental life instinctively let out a burst of cheers, and then at the tip of Barnier's finger, it chased its own tail in a circle. Witnessing this scene, most of the legendary powerhouses frowned. Wrinkled, seems to understand something.

"Chain reaction—as we all know, I am a good hand at creating elemental life. My research on elemental life may be deeper than the goblin's own research." (Fairy queens booed at this time) "Sometimes , The seemingly stable environment is actually not very stable, and the influence of a powerful existence will actually change the entire world."

"Let me see, Joshua isn't here, right?" After saying this, Barnier scanned the surroundings vigilantly, and after confirming that the warrior did not leave an avatar, he relaxed and continued, "That's all right, I will To use the analogy of Marshal Radcliffe, who was not there—the Steel Elemental and the Silver Goblin, children and household of Marshal Radcliffe." (The goblin queens shouted that those were our new compatriots) "The latter More typical, it first appeared in the world of Carliss that he influenced, and the world in his body multiplied in large numbers, and if his power is not suppressed, it will transform all the surrounding existence into a special kind of life."

As he said that, the elemental life in Barnier's hands changed slightly, and its internal elemental structure began to become more complicated. From the "simple elemental life" that could be compared to multicellular organisms, it suddenly evolved into a complex life comparable to dinosaurs and mammoths. The "intermediate elemental life" of living things is only one step away from the high-level elemental life comparable to intelligent life such as human beings.

"You see, I only exerted a negligible influence. This influence is very similar to the way the limit virus appears-I don't need to take the initiative to create an elemental life at all. I only need to emit an extremely An insignificant amount of power can make the world itself give birth to what I want, of course, the gap may be a bit big, but the principle is the same."

This point of view immediately aroused the thinking and mutual discussion of the legends, but Barnier was not surprised, and continued: "You, the natural teacher, can't you also activate the plants around it, so that it can temporarily give birth to wisdom? Your Pope Holy Light, isn’t it also able to purify all evil spirits inadvertently? Nostradamus, haven’t you noticed that your teleportation spell is much faster than ours? We who have reached the legendary realm actually all have similar Nature affects the essence of the world. However, only relying on essence alone, there are relatively few individuals who can create life."

Barnier talked eloquently. It can be seen that, as an old mage who often creates an army of elemental life out of thin air and uses all means to fight against one another, he is very familiar with this set. Strange, but to him, it is at most an advanced means.

Therefore, he made a conclusion about this: "The spontaneous emergence of this virus may not be caused by evil gods. After all, we have not sensed any aura related to chaos. It may come from an extremely powerful transcendent... But this A transcendent who spreads the plague wantonly is no different from an evil god, and it is useless to rely on martial law to prevent this virus, what we need is to interfere with this 'fluctuation' that will induce the virus to appear."

"Of course, before that, fully recall the exploration team - the multi-dimensional galaxy is no longer safe, and this may be one of the omens of the 'evil god invasion'."

Meanwhile, on the other side of time and space.

——The world of stars.

Joshua, who was exchanging low-level information exchange with the triple curtain, exchanging experiences and relevant data on the use of various extraordinary powers, suddenly interrupted this communication with the triple curtain, raised his head, and looked at the dark vacuum among the stars.

"There's something...I feel it, there is an existence outside the world, exerting influence on this world!"

In the dark void, the silver world rapidly deformed. Joshua unfolded his battle form, and he stared at the other end of the void with a serious face, because even he couldn't accurately sense the subtlety that was sweeping across the galaxy. Fluctuation—the fluctuation is like the spontaneous surge of elementary particles in a vacuum, and it is a part of natural phenomena. If his perception is not limited to only one world, I am afraid that even he would not be able to discover it.

But the thickness of the world barrier in the world of stars is hundreds of millions of times greater than that of ordinary worlds. Even Joshua can only vaguely perceive that the outside world seems to be very quiet and there are no major changes.

"Triple curtain, do you know what's going on outside the world of stars?" Joshua turned his head, and said to the triple curtain who was also on guard, his tone was alert: "Is it possible that the evil god has sneaked into the world of stars, and You didn't find out?"

Huge psi-mechanical aggregates shone brightly.

[Answer: We don't know. The world barrier of the star world is indestructible if there is no active communication with the outside world. The world of stars existed as the founder's last bastion from the very beginning, even the evil gods would never be able to sneak into it without our knowledge]

[Distress: Psychic energy is the power that can communicate with all things. Psychic civilization can naturally respond to special individuals far away. We did not prevent the first psionic civilization from summoning the family of evil gods to this world, which caused great bitterness. ...we are powerless to stop civilization... from killing itself]

Since the triple curtain confirmed that there was no evil god sneaking in, Joshua didn't say much, he believed in the other party, but if this was the case, he had to think about new sources of enemies.

But Joshua was not clueless. The moment he started to think, the warrior had already been walking around the star world, the Mycroft civilization, the civilizations of the multi-dimensional galaxy, and even the bloody galaxy, and was given to Clay. Le and Erma's crisis management system knew the possible weirdness and chaos behind it.

"Extreme Virus—If it was made by the plague god...is it so strong?"

For the first time, Joshua had the same thought as the old Pope Igor, that is, the evil plague god they knew didn't seem to have such a powerful power.

However, unlike Igor, Joshua knows that behind the plague mother beast in the star world is a special super life form called the 'Extreme Sublimation Virus', which is the existence of the evil god of plague recognized by the star world—if If it is it, it is not surprising to create an extreme virus, and it can even be taken for granted.

"Moreover, there is also a plague in the star world... more than a dozen star fields have fallen!"

Joshua quickly discovered this by interacting with the 'ring of the four gods' that is closely connected with the psionic net and most of the psykers in the star world.

Because the transmissibility and lethality of the limit virus is too high, as long as there is a large-scale loss of contact on a whole planet or an entire colony in a certain place, and there is no situation where the soul returns to the net of psionic energy, it can basically be confirmed that it is the limit Caused by a virus. And because there were almost no survivors, it led to the illusion that things didn't seem serious!

In this regard, even Joshua can't help you. The extreme virus burns flesh and soul, and his resurrection technique cannot be restored out of thin air.

Strictly speaking, it's not impossible.

With Joshua's current strength, it is possible to backtrack the material changes in the area to cause a phenomenon similar to time reversal, and then resurrect the people who have been burned into nothingness—probably equivalent to the small area of ​​​​Fatelorvi's time reversal Version, as long as the triple curtain can provide information, of course he can do this.

But that kind of cost is too great. Although it sounds cold-blooded, when facing the threat of evil gods and unknown sources of plague, such a move is not worth the candle.

The living are more important.

In the previous low-level information exchange between Joshua and the triple curtain, the details of the next "big counteroffensive campaign" have been determined, and the tone of the next war has been determined. With the advantage of God's Ring and newborn emotional ability users, Joshua will be able to bring the relevant experimental data of emotional power back to the multi-dimensional galaxy to prepare for the invasion of evil gods in ten years' time, and also to prepare for advanced sages .

But now, due to the sudden appearance of the extreme virus, not only the counterattack plan has to be postponed, but Joshua and the triple curtain have to allocate additional power to prevent the spread of the plague-the recent behavior of the Chaos Familia is also very strange, it seems that they are preparing What a big move, the situation was pretty good at first, but now it is somewhat reversed.

"Forget it, don't think so much."

Instead of complaining, it is better to try to solve the problem first.

Joshua gave up thinking about meaningless things, he sank his heart, and began to quietly feel all the information in the vacuum, trying to find out the root of the plague.

The four-armed giant god stretched out his four arms, embracing a vacuum, and layer after layer of silver fluctuations overflowed from the giant god's body, layer upon layer, spreading towards the vacuum.

The void in the Milky Way where the triple curtain is located does not have any extra stars emitting energy to interfere, and there are no traces caused by civilization activities to affect perception.

In this environment, when the ultimate transcendent begins to listen to the world, all seemingly close connections are dissected and dissociated.

He can hear the flickering of elementary particles, perceive electrons revolving around atoms, and he can see that in the most basic existence of matter, there is the support of all extraordinary forces, gravity dances with ether, restricts the movement of all matter, and magic is independent Due to electromagnetism, unconventional substances can be condensed out of thin air, creating phenomena that should not exist... Joshua can perceive that life energy is a force that exists in all things in the universe, and it is not unique to life Energy, but only life can follow its own will and use it to transform other things, the energy of other life.

All living things and beings, even those that have no form and seem to be nothing, have nothing to hide from Joshua.

So, he heard—heard the faint signal that echoed like a ghost in the sea of ​​particles roiling in the vacuum.

——In the universe, among the stars, in the seemingly empty vacuum, there is actually a churning sea of ​​particle energy, just because it is too calm compared to the macrocosm, so it seems like there are no waves like that.

However, around the stars and on the planets, the surge of energy and the change of matter are very violent.

The churning of the corona, the blowing of the solar wind, the movement of the magnetic field, the volcanic eruption and heat flow brought about by geological changes... In every material-rich region in the universe, billions of possibilities appear all the time.

Among them, there will be exactly a part, whose energy changes and material changes will cause "coincidences"-for example, inorganic matter becomes organic matter, and the condensation of energy crystals creates confusion, and they suddenly become something from lifeless things. A thing that can reproduce itself and reproduce.

That is, primitive cells, and even the beginning of life.

And this is the origin of the limit virus.

Joshua listens to the entire star world. He relies on the restoration of the beam of light and the spiritual energy network that can be affected by the power of emotion to listen to the sound of material changes in the world of the stars. Infinite and large numbers of information are shared by soldiers in world units. The calculation of the thinking unit was processed rapidly, so Joshua could hear the discordant voices that appeared under the coincidence of the birth of those seemingly normal lives.

The fluctuations emanating from a powerful existence have affected all the chances of "possible birth of life", making the possibility of becoming primitive cells and primitive life all become the embryonic form of extreme viruses!

In other words, after being affected by the extremely weak fluctuations that swept across the star world, on those affected planets, as long as life may appear, and phenomena similar to viruses may appear, all of them will actually produce the original limit of the virus. form!

In other words, the extreme virus does not need to be infected at all - because it emerges spontaneously from various phenomena in the world!

The primordial soup around the high-temperature smoke column on the seabed, the illusion of high-concentration elements struck by lightning, and the crystallized area where magic power gathers, these areas where life may be born, may spontaneously emerge extreme viruses! Not to mention some civilized biological laboratories, bacteria and fungi produced by mildew in nature have mutated, the more life-intensive places are, the more likely extreme viruses will be born!

"Is it possible interference?"

Opening his eyes, Joshua's face was solemn. Regarding this, he couldn't help but think of a powerful enemy he had encountered a long time ago, the strongest in the world of Siberia, the time mover 'Fatlolv'!

His unique skill is to manipulate the possibilities in the world of Siberia to create any future he wants-in the battle at that time, let alone the possibility of controlling the birth of the virus, Fatlowy could even directly By influencing the possibility, he can achieve quantum evasion and avoid any of his attacks without injury!

However, although they are similar, they are not exactly the same... If it is said that Fatrolvi is the 'domination of possibility', then the emergence of the limit virus is at best an 'induction'. The limit virus that emerges spontaneously may not be complete, and its survival time is definitely not as short as that of a complete body, and its lethality is not very high, so in some worlds, there may even be individuals who did not die in the limit plague .

"Indeed, it's more like some kind of rudimentary, incomplete memeization..." Muttering to himself, Joshua couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

The current situation is getting more and more difficult. Although the source of the plague has been found, a bigger problem has also emerged: where did the fluctuation that gave birth to the extreme virus come from?

Even Joshua couldn't confirm this point, he could only guess that the source of this fluctuation might come from outside the world of stars.

"Triple Curtain."

After thinking for a while, Joshua finally made up his mind. The giant turned his head to look at the psionic machinery orbiting the black hole, and said calmly, "Do you have a way to send me temporarily—no, send my incarnation to the stars Looking outside the world?"
