Chapter 45: The Great Wound

Sometimes, words and words are not enough to describe some of the scenery.

With his back to the divine light of the seven gods, Joshua looked up alone, but even with his eyesight, he could only see absolute blackness, like the thickest ink, and the darkness that erased all light stretched ahead, and there was no end in sight.

As if standing in front of the vast sea, the lone warrior gazes at the dead sea,

The River Styx, which comes from all directions of the world's galaxy, converges here, where the rush of countless worlds after the destruction of the world roars, settles, and then becomes a part of this darkness. Thousands of years ago, it was extremely dangerous, because thousands of worlds were born in the largest star-building nebula in the entire galaxy all the time, flying out, going to every corner of time and space, and the incredible changes in matter and gravitational distortions would tear apart all weak existences, even gods need to be vigilant for every accident.

But now, it is silent, the maelstrom of creation is not turning, but it is even more terrifying—the darkness of silence is always more terrifying than the roaring flash, for the latter is a tangible and qualitative danger, and the former represents the unknown.

But...... So what?

Facing the unknown and fear, Joshua smiled fearlessly.

Yes, this is the graveyard of countless worlds after the death of countless worlds under the nine hundred layers of the abyss, at the bottom of the World Galaxy.

Yes, this is the origin of the River Styx, the end point of the River Styx, and the place where everything in the galaxy of the world repeats itself.

It was once the Maelstrom of Creation, the lowest of the Abyss, the heart of the Rebirth Plan, the place where the sages used to fight the evil gods of abundance - the gods used to call it the Land of Abyss Nirvana, but Joshua thought that the name Extreme Abyss was the most suitable for it.

Here, not only will the light be dimmed, but even other transcendent powers will be suppressed by the violent steel particles and chaotic power, and in this dark realm, whether it is magic, steel power or divine power, will be gradually consumed, eroded, and turned into nothingness.

This is perhaps one of the most terrifying and dangerous Jedi in the entire multiverse.

So it's a good time to take on the challenge.

With a roar in the River Styx, the warrior did not hesitate to step forward.

Surrounded by a neon-like wheel of light, with the blessings of the eight gods shining all around him, and the last words of the god of power still faintly heard in his ears, Joshua calmly moved forward—in an instant, he went from one darkness to deeper darkness.

- Loss of eyesight.

- There was no sound.

- I can't tell the difference between up and down, left and right.

- It's like walking in reinforced concrete.

- The whole body is suffering from severe erosion.

After taking the first step out of the River Styx and into the bottom of the abyss, Joshua felt as if he was stepping into the deep sea, surrounded by chaotic waters that had condensed into ice, and even with his strength, it was difficult to move a step forward.

"It's a little sturdy."

Joshua muttered to himself, and at the same time, the divine power contained in the warrior's body began to work.

A flame of divine power, lit up in the utter darkness.

After the divine power blessing came into contact with this chaotic power that had been materialized, it immediately launched a reaction with it, and the fierce confrontation between the eight-colored divine power and the surrounding darkness suddenly burst into an extremely dazzling brilliance, and then, as if the flames melted the ice and turned it into water vapor, a large amount of colorless pure energy was released in this way, lingering on Joshua's side in a mist-like form.

This process of burning is like the initial fire burning chaos into primordial steel.

Because of the impact of divine power and chaos, the dazzling strong light continued to sway in the darkness, shaking like a flame, and even one could see that there were divine thunder flashes in the mist, containing a terrifying and dangerous aura.

And this is Joshua's opportunity to move forward quickly - with the mutual impact and reaction of divine power and chaos, he can fight against the high concentration of chaos in the abyssal nirvana land without expending his steel power, and he can even use the flame light burst from the conflict between the two to regain his observation ability and direction, and move deeper.

However, just when Joshua, who thought that he should be alone, didn't know where the core of the rebirth seal was and which direction he should go, a deep voice came from his body.

"This side—I can sense it, that's the axis of the abyss."

The voice of Goliath, the Lord of the Sixth Abyss, said calmly, "I have no reason to lie to you, it's over here. ”

With that, the remnant soul of the Demon King located in the warrior's body sent out a message again, guiding Joshua in the direction.

“…… yes, you're still there. ”

Originally, in the River Styx, Joshua, who had relied on the other party to point the way a few times, blinked, but he was not too surprised, although in the late stage of entering the abyss, because the memory of the seven gods continued to recover, everyone and the gods did not need Goliath, the native of the abyss, to lead the way, but now it seems that the existence of the other party is indeed very useful.

Without suspecting the other party, Joshua went directly in the direction guided by Goliath, and his overly decisive and crisp actions even surprised the remnant soul of the Demon King: "You actually believe in me so much?!" ”

"Or else?"

The warrior asked calmly, leaving Goliath speechless.

At this time, the old Pope Iger, who had returned from suppressing a void civilization in the McCrove world, the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground, seemed to feel something, and with a sad face, he broke away from the half-plane and came to the void, staring in the direction of the abyss, looking into the infinite distance.

In the eyes of this god who walked in the world, the original chaotic, chaotic, and obscure abyss suddenly became clear - in front of the six hundred and sixty-sixth layers of the abyss, countless small flames were burning in the gray world, which were the footsteps of countless pioneers, who were cleaning up the chaos, stifling the chaos, and calming down all the raging demons and monsters with absolute violence, no longer bloodthirsty and excited.

And after the six hundred and sixty-sixth layers of the abyss, round after round of huge divine power aura, like a huge vortex seal, shrouded in the abyss deep in the core, you can see, the sky blue Ouroboros, the pale green flying birds, the light golden bifurcated eyes, and the violet heart, these four holy emblems are stable in the abyss, and they are above countless worlds, as if they can last for countless thousands of years.

Furthermore, the lower layers of the abyss, the pure white divine light, the iron-gray divine light and the black divine light, but they seem to be a little turbulent and unstable, and it can be seen that the overly deep darkness is eroding the seal of the inner three layers, making the brilliance more and more dim, no one knows how long the brilliance of the divine power can last, whether it is years, months, days, hours.

Finally, the deepest part of the abyss, pure darkness. Not even the brilliance of divine power can illuminate. It was like a sea watered by ink, no matter how dazzling the light was, it would penetrate into the outermost layer at most, and the inside would always be cold and solidified black.

But the old Pope could see that there was a faint light in it, moving forward.

Slowly, sometimes slowing down, sometimes correcting direction, it does move forward, and it never stops.

But just as the old pope gazed at this advancing point of light, his heart felt relief and anticipation.

Abrupt.

It stopped.

In the bleak abyss, Joshua had to stop.

Originally, due to the impact of the chaotic material flow brought by the River Styx, the Extremely Dark Abyss should have been an extremely turbulent realm, although it was not as turbulent as the original Creation Maelstrom, but at least it would not be as silent as it is now. It's just that the seal of the Seven Gods, and the action of the last punishment to cut the River Styx with one sword, caused all this thing that should have been extremely disturbing to perception to disappear temporarily, and turned the bottom of the abyss, which should have been like the sea, into a peaceful place of death.

It was precisely because of this that all Joshua stopped.

"What's wrong, human?"

Sensing the slightest mistake, the remnant soul of the demon king held in the palm of his hand subconsciously asked, and the warrior did not reply, he just raised the front wall of his right hand, and the power of steel was burning, mixed with the light of divine power, illuminating the darkness around him.

This action lasted for a long time, and after more than half an hour, the puzzled Goliath finally understood why Joshua, who was racing against time, suddenly stopped.

Because what appeared in front of them were a dozen silent dark spheres hanging silently in the chaotic darkness.

The sphere was familiar, and it could be seen that around the dozens of dark spheres, the space was extremely distorted, concave like a deep well, and endless chaotic forces surged around these deep wells, and then sucked into them.

That's the image of the 'final star' black hole.

It can be seen that there are thirteen black holes, crowded into the galaxy space of less than three lights, some of them large and some of them are small, and the gravitational and chaotic forces between the black holes and the black holes form a wonderful balance, causing them to hang almost stationary in place - naturally, this strange situation is also due to the fact that these black holes do not seem to be mass black holes in the normal sense.

They are black-like hole-like entities formed by the accumulation of vast amounts of world wreckage, particles of steel, and chaotic forces, and these final stars float in the depths of the darkest abyss, as if they were a trap for the rash entrant to step into them.

"It's troublesome, it's blocking almost all roads, and it's so stealthy that at my previous speed, if I'm not careful, I'll rush into it."

After carefully observing it for a long time, Joshua couldn't help but let out a sigh. If it weren't for his deep understanding of gravity, his own body being a super-high-quality body, and his divine power to help clear the interference of chaotic forces, I am afraid that this time he would really fall into the trap of this plural chaotic black hole, and then sink forever.

However, this is not the most surprising thing - because Joshua perceives that there are a large number of similar strange gravitational wave perturbations around this stable complex black hole star structure, which indicates that in addition to this direction, there are similar high-quality chaotic black hole traps in other directions!

The sealing core of the Extremely Dark Abyss seemed to be surrounded by a circle of black hole traps, firmly wrapped!

The remnant soul of the Demon King seemed to be speechless from the shock of this unbelievable scene, but while Joshua was thinking about how to get past these traps, he began to search for the source of these black hole traps based on the information recorded in the power of the steel around him.

“…… They are the embers of the destruction of the world and the stars...... The war between the sages and the bountiful gods...... In the Maelstrom of Genesis, the forces used to create new galaxies are used as weapons to attack each other, and the raw materials of countless worlds are condensed into huge and unstable stars, which are thrown at hostile opponents with bombs that are about to explode into supernovas......"

"Greatound - Great Wound - This is the ultimate battle of extraordinary powerhouses, and the unhealable wound left on the galaxy of this world!"

Joshua read the memories of the stars, because the Maelstrom of Creation had long since stopped turning, and the power of steel floating in the deepest part of the abyss had not been erased, and the warriors could easily understand the origin of these black hole traps.

For the supernova explosions that are so powerful that they seem to be like an autumn breeze even in the face of gamma-ray bursts, I am afraid that only the final stars, the black holes that cannot escape the light, can cause them mortal danger, the sages' wars with the rich evil gods in the past have catalyzed countless stars, and those stars that are used as weapons burn to their peak, and then turn into embers, and the condensed wreckage has become this darkness that absorbs all light.

Using the wreckage he left behind from the battle, the sage used the black hole to suppress the rotation of the Maelstrom of Creation...... He formulated a rebirth plan, using these black holes as an anchor to absorb the power of Chaos, and at the same time avoiding the awakening of the 'unknown evil god', he will wear away the chaos little by little. ”

Joshua looked at the dark star in front of him with a complicated gaze, there is no doubt that this is a very grand plan - if the rebirth plan is really completely formed, then the power that the entire Creation Mael has used to create worlds for thousands of years will be forcibly aggregated into one, creating a 'super giant continent world' similar to the Star Sea World, with countless galaxies, incomparably huge, but a whole 'super giant continent world'!

In that world, a black hole with a mass of tens of billions of times that of an ordinary star will rotate the whole world, and its incomparably huge accretion disk will release an eternal immeasurable light that will shine on the whole world.

There will be no night in that world, because of its huge mass, even on the 'continent' there will be stars spontaneously formed by the condensation of nebula matter, hanging in the sky, or even directly embedded in the 'continent' or the top of the 'mountain', just like the sacred fire on the top of Mount Olympus in myths and legends, shining on the intelligent races living around it.

Perhaps in the corners of the edge of this world, there will be thin areas of matter, where neither the light released by the accretion disk of the core black hole nor the spontaneous condensation of stars can be seen, so it may be a little dim, but it is just a different scenery from the polar novelty, and it does not matter.

Even, because the huge continent is too large, it will be divided into more than a dozen levels, each layer is like a galactic ring, with an independent structure, environment, and a large number of stars. Any race, any life can find its place in this unbelievable paradise world, and no matter how harsh the conditions, it will definitely be able to find a suitable place to live on this 'continent' that is probably larger than dozens of galaxies combined.

Moreover, the extremely high concentration of extraordinary power can supply almost infinite transcendent cultivation, because behind it is the great maelstrom of creation, backed by the energy quality of the entire world's galaxy cycle, and it is completely impossible for this super giant desolate world to fall into a situation of lack of resources and need war to snatch it.

- Even, one day, the endless worlds in the galaxy of the entire world will be gradually merged and unified by this world in the flow of time, and 'reborn' into an incredible 'single world'.

This is no longer a plan that can be described as crazy.

If it is said that half a step beyond the era is a great man, and two steps beyond the era is a madman, then what is more than ten steps and a hundred steps?

Even God can only barely understand it as the 'rebirth of the Glorious Age,' and worship this is a false illusion that cannot be compared to its true purpose.

Peeking into the secrets behind these clusters of black holes that seemed to be traps, Joshua could only exhale slightly, and couldn't even sigh.

It was only now that he finally understood what the greatest mystery left by the 'ancestral civilization' in the mouth of the star herders was.

If it is said that the person who left this news is the sage, the sage who thinks that his plan will definitely succeed, then his purpose is very clear - he wants to let the races of other worlds and rivers leave those dangerous worlds and enter this absolutely safe world, away from the infestation of chaos and evil gods.

If the rebirth plan succeeds according to plan, then when the Great Khan and the Star Shepherds come to the Abyss, they will not be greeted by the black hole trap that Joshua sees now, but a gentle, large, and magnificent world that accepts all ordered life.

The strength of the world barrier of this monolithic world is definitely not something that any 'evil god' can shake. Even Joshua wondered what was the difference between this level of world barrier and the event horizon of a black hole? As long as you enter, it is almost impossible to get out, just like in the story, those gods and immortals who have become gods and immortals have hardly returned to their hometowns, as long as they enter this world, it is almost impossible to go out again.

However, the rebirth plan failed.

Those exciting, exciting visions of the future are now just ideas in the blueprints.

In front of Joshua was still the darkness of chaos, which was pitch black, cold, and constantly eating away at everything like a strong acid, and the Star of the End, which was deeper than the darkness.

The remnant soul of the Demon King didn't know Joshua's thoughts and speculations, it just kept staring at the deepest shadow in front of it - the darkness cast by the black hole in time and space is the deepest shadow in this multiverse, which has indescribable value for Goliath, who is summarizing the way of shadows, from which it can even find gravitational techniques that are subordinate to the path of shadows, as well as energy absorption barriers similar to the defense of black bodies.

However, just as it wanted to go any further and observe the black holes, suddenly, the Demon King heard the sound of crying.

The voice is sad and desperate, it is not resentful, it is not heartbreaking, but it goes straight to the deepest part of the heart, infecting everything with pessimistic and meaningless colors.

The sound of crying echoed in Goliath's ears, and he faintly heard the mournful voice of a baby dying immediately after birth, unable to look at the world.

It vaguely heard the weeping of an underage boy who died of the destruction of the world after having just had a dream.

It hears the sound of the cogs of the tired adult who is struggling to carry the family, raise the offspring, and strive to run in the great machine of civilized society, and it hears the futility of all efforts, and the tragedy of decades of hardship, until in the end, it can only hold its partner and children, watch the stars fall from the sky, and destroy all things.

It heard a lot, a lot - the demon king even heard the voice of the demon, which was a painful growth in the abyss, a painful survival in the abyss, a painful life, but there was no purpose, it could only vent its confusion by fighting, and it proved its existence with destruction, a blank roar.

"They're crying......"

In the palm of the warrior's hand, the remnant soul of the demon king said in a bit of confusion, Goliath looked around, but did not find the shadow of the slightest sound: "Who is it?" Why can I see those visions and hear those sounds?! ”

"It's a memory that lies in the chaos."

Joshua lowered his head, he looked at the remnant soul of the demon king who was placed in his hand, and said calmly: "The evil god is an infinite soul, infinite resentment, mixed with the residual information of the infinite civilization and the chaotic power, condensed into a destructive entity, and every part of it is condensed with the memory of the destruction of the mother civilization and the mother world. ”

"The maelstrom of creation is infected by chaos, and the resentment of countless worlds after the destruction gathers to form the 'unknown evil god', the river Styx is its tentacles, the abyss is its body, and the chaos around you and me is its unawakened body. The voices you hear, the resentments you feel, are the future power of this evil god—because we are within it. ”

"They were destroyed......"

He has also destroyed several worlds, plundering souls and matter The Demon King muttered to himself, and then quickly fell silent, maybe the Demon King's body can resist this voice that goes straight to the depths of the heart, and can isolate these memories from the power of steel and chaos, but the remnant soul of the Demon King can't, it is deeply affected, and even fell into a daze.

And Joshua shook his arm to make the other party sober up.

"The tears of the destroyed have always been so sad. It has always been like this, for thousands of years, without exception. ”

Without continuing to look at the remnant soul of the Demon King, Joshua raised his head and looked at the darkness in front of him, the contemplation just now made him find a path that could pass through the gravitational gap, he began to take a step, walking towards the ever-changing gravitational path, and as he walked, he said softly: "The war of super civilizations, the battles of extraordinary powerhouses, can instantly destroy countless ordinary worlds and civilizations at any time, and in these civilizations and worlds, there are tens of millions, even billions of intelligent life. ”

"There are embryos, there are young bodies, there are men, women, young and old, joys and sorrows. They have their own joys and sorrows, their own fates and stories—but in the oversized multiverse, in the war between the powerful and super-civilizations, everything is nothing more than tears in the rain. ”

Is their destruction predestined, or is it bad luck? This kind of thing, who said it clearly.

So that's the sadness.

"Are you starting to feel sad and moved by these civilizations? Goliath? ”

Without waiting for the remnant soul of the Demon King to answer, Joshua, who was passing through the gravitational equilibrium point formed by the plural black hole, shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't be sad, I'm moved." ”

"The remnants of the reverberations of destruction here, the memories of civilization, the number is more than 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

"Don't forget, the abyss where you are is the graveyard of countless destroyed worlds in the entire galaxy of the world."

"Wait!" Watching Joshua pass through one gravitational trap after another, passing through this high-concentration chaotic space with a thickness of about two rays at an extremely high speed, Goliath couldn't help but ask, "How do you know so well?!" Did you just listen to these voices? ”

It was only a brief echo of a few seconds that made the remnant soul of the Demon King feel that it could not be itself, as if it wanted to merge into this chaos and be assimilated by it, but Joshua could clearly tell the origin of these voices and tell it the essence of these sounds...... How clearly and clearly does this have to be heard, how clearly it can be understood from those fragmented whispers? And how strong of willpower does he have to be in order not to be assimilated by these voices?

Goliath wanted to sigh a few words, but then, Joshua's words made it completely silent.

"I hear it all the time."

A thrilling psionic leap to avoid the impact of the wreckage of a world revolving around a black hole, Joshua adjusted his next direction, and he said lightly: "Actually, from the moment I entered the abyss, I could hear countless worlds crying and wailing at me, and they were asking me for help, hoping that I could save them or destroy them. ”

Aren't you going to isolate them?!

Noticing the terrifying eyes of the Demon King's remnant soul, the warrior smiled: "I'm not crazy. ”

"And I'm not going to isolate them."

Can you see that the eight layers of divine power radiance surrounding the outermost layer of Joshua's body, and the outermost light blue divine power of order and destruction have begun to crumble a little, which proves that the warrior has gone deep into the core of the extremely dark abyss, so that the divine power has begun to be exhausted, and even swallowed by chaos.

Joshua pulled out the pale blue hourglass from his bosom and whispered, "You don't understand. I am the King of Soul Burning. ”

"Listen to the sound of the end of the world, burn chaos with flames – reshape the world, maintain order."

As he said this, he crushed the hourglass in his hand, causing the light blue divine power gravel to splash out, burning on the surface of his body, and he could faintly see that the surface of the armor condensed by the condensation of neutron degenerate substance appeared like a snake-like divine power pattern, which was superimposed with the dragon scale pattern of the dragon god, forming a dense and more solid microscopic divine power structure.

At this point, the voice of the warrior sounded again.

"Listen to the weeping of the grieving and calm their sorrow – that's my duty."
