Chapter 5: Right and Right (11400)
Three Realms and Nine Heavens, the Continent of Steel, the core area of the Shining Region, and the Great Southern Heavenly Star Cross Star Area.
In the cross-shaped habitable area formed by 1,200 bright stars, there is an incomparably gigantic behemoth that is speeding across the silver continent of steel.
It was a moving city that swirled like a disc and stirred up a huge storm around it, its base at a distance from the Continent of Steel, its blue fluorescent lines flickering, and its invisible stance propelled it forward—more like a low-altitude flight than walking.
On the disk, there is a semicircular giant net woven by golden energy arcs, which is the heavenly dome of this mobile city with a radius of 76,500 kilometers, and it can be seen that there are a total of 35 layers of light curtain formations with different functions mixed in it, maintaining the ecological stability of the small world inside.
【Glorious World: Church Mobile City Ansino】
This is the headquarters of the Temple of the Ages of the Gods and Goddesses before the [Ash Order], an ancient city that has been roaming the Steel Continent for more than 80,000 years. This city has been blessed and blessed by more than tens of thousands of gods over the ages, and every inch of its land, every bit of dust, has even been soaked in divine power and obtained immortal characteristics - and the thirty-five layers of divine power arrays have even resisted several unexpected 'star falling rains' head-on, and have been bombarded by hundreds of stars without any change.
It can be seen that there are countless flying ships moored in the harbor on the outskirts of the Disc City, all with the flag of the Order of Ashes on them, and in the inner layer of the world, there are continuous planting areas, industrial areas, temple areas, and at the edge of the world, a vast ocean of god-made nano-oceans - this is the masterpiece of the former 'God of Machines', a recyclable god creation, that is, a 'artifact' in the popular sense.
Today, the God of All Machines passed away 50,000 years ago, but his creation is still functioning, and it is responsible for maintaining the entire mobile world, which is one of the reasons why this ancient world city is as new as it was when it was first forged after 80,000 years, and it is the raw material for all creation in the city's industrial furnace.
It can be seen that there are billions of lightchasers living in this world, they go back and forth in major regions, work and live, and occasionally take airships to other mobile cities for exchange visits, trade and rest - everyone acts like fire, the goal is firm, in this world city, there is no one who is confused, even if it is resting, it is just to recover energy, to recuperate faster, so as to work better in the future. If faith could shine, then the city must be shining brighter than the stars, and it is burning and moving the world in the direction they want.
And in the center of this world, there is an incomparably tall giant tower, the top of which even breaks through the thirty-five layers of divine power formation, towering outside the world barrier, located between the real heaven and earth - this tower seems to be forged from a white solid rock, flawless, there is no gap and dissonance, and there are not many light chasers near it, only a few can be seen at a glance, it is the high-ranking people of the Ash Order who slowly approach this high tower and enter it.
In the distant past, this tower had many names, such as the Immortal White Tower, the Tower of the Heavens, the Tower of the Sun, etc., but now, when the Ashes Order has collected the remains of all the gods and taken over this glorious world city, its name has been changed to [Torch Tower], and its function is the same as before, it is the core center of the entire world and the entire Order.
"The first pontifical position, Grand Inquisitor Glonn, disappeared in the line of duty, and the seventy-five elite Templar guards accompanying him also disappeared en masse, without exception."
In an inconspicuous office, a majesticly dressed lady with a three-tiered crown on her head was sitting in her seat, her eyes calmly staring ahead, while two ordinary inquisitors wearing black and red inquisitor robes bowed their heads slightly and reported to each other: "According to the analysis of the think tank, the mission to persuade Alpha Falst should have failed, and the star sons behind it, Karlis and McCrof, should be the cause of Glonn's failure." ”
The Ash Order is an organization initially formed after the Age of the Gods in order to collect the corpses of the gods, bury them collectively, and fight against chaos, and its core decision-making layer 'Pontifical Presbyterian Church' is the original Pope God Son of the major churches, the Holy See Patriarch, and the so-called first pontifical seat is the nominal leader of the entire Pontifical Elder Body, a position held by the heads of different churches in turn.
Of course, 50,000 years have passed, the first suposte has long been deserved, and non-the strongest person cannot take on the role of actual leader, and the first supostor of this Ash Order is the legendary powerhouse who has been the leader of the Order's line for 152 years, Mara Manica, the leader of the Star Sea and the God of Exploration.
"Did you fail?"
The voice of the first pontifical was very calm, she lowered her head, continued to manipulate the light curtain, and reviewed many documents, because the Ash Order advocated frugality, so since 34,000 years ago, the major sanctuaries have no longer been used as the office area of the Holy See, but have become public places, even the first pontifical is no exception, and on weekdays, they are all in the office of the 3,600th floor of the Torch Tower to handle official business and practice. Mara didn't look annoyed by the failure of the mission: "This is normal, Karlis and McCrof, who were originally the great bachelors of the capital of knowledge, have the strength of the extreme will, and they have awakened the power of the Holy Son of the Stars, and ordinary legends may not be able to defeat, if they make a move, it is normal for Glone to fail." ”
"But in this way, the two of them also revealed their whereabouts - Glon must have left a mark when he followed him."
"Yes."
The middle-aged inquisitor at the head replied in a sonorous voice: "Your Majesty, are we going to send a few legendary powerhouses to persuade you?" It may be too late to follow the trail now. ”
Mara didn't reply immediately, she stared at the documents before she said, "No, I sensed it, Glonn's candle flame hasn't been extinguished, he's not dead, and the Templar guards aren't dead, so it's probably captured." ”
"Since the lives of our parishioners are not in danger, there is no need to take such a big risk to weaken the defensive forces of other areas to capture the two Star Saints who can hide among the stars - not to mention that the other party already has legendary strength, will there be progress in the past so long, the changes in the Dusk Zone are gradually becoming more frequent, and the number of chaos monsters has increased significantly, and we have no spare strength."
Saying this, the female patron sighed, she raised her head, and looked at the two serious inquisitors again: "So be it, at least we prove that the alpha is indeed more important than we think, those two sons of the stars are concerned about him, and his daughter is also a son of the stars...... He may indeed have some kind of instinctive attraction, the ability to identify the Son of the Stars, it would be best if he could join us, but if not, it is not so urgent. ”
"As for Gloen, I'll send someone to try to negotiate with them later, and we can drop the hunt and let them let our parishioners go home. After all, the contradiction is not too deep now, since they are not willing to live as the Holy Sons of the Stars, then as long as they do not interfere with our 'Fire Transmission Path' plan, let them live in the Dusk Zone. ”
As for the Shining Zone, it is impossible, the more stars the Son of the Stars has, the more his abilities will rise, they can not pursue each other, but they cannot let the other party live freely in their sphere of influence, enjoying the endless glory of the Shining Region that they have worked so hard to maintain.
Mara and the Inquisitors didn't know what was going on, and they didn't hear from Glon that the Crystal Obelisk had been discovered, and they thought that the other party had only been caught by Karlis and McCrove when they were following them.
Soon, the two inquisitors left—this mission was given by the First Pontifical himself, and naturally he came to report in person, otherwise, he could report directly through the light curtain network, while the First Pontifical Mara Manica was still sitting in his simple chair, practicing his own strength while handling official business.
However, after a long time, this lady, who was more than two hundred years old and still looked the same as when she was young, and had dedicated most of her life to the entire Order, raised her hand tiredly, rubbed her forehead, and sighed in a low voice.
"Alas...... When will all the Light Chasers be able to unite as one, strive to open up, and contribute to the future of our world and the future of our civilization......
The legendary powerhouse's tone was close to moaning and praying, she closed her eyes, and her tone was full of helplessness: "Is it right to hide from the entire League of Nations that 'the world is about to be destroyed' and the flame is about to be extinguished?" ”
While it is true that the world will not be in turmoil and will continue to enjoy peace, the Order has lost more help and can only go it alone...... Just like those two sons of the stars, if they knew the truth of this world, would they still run away like they do now?
But whether it is to escape, at least they don't have to make sacrifices—if the beings don't know about it, at least they can enjoy peace.
Sacrificing to save the world...... Who else can do this kind of thing but us?
Thinking about this question, Mara now, apart from a wry smile, only deep helplessness remains.
If the entire Three Realms, Nine Heavens, All Nations and Ten Thousand Races were told that this world was about to be destroyed and returned to the darkness of extinction, then how much turmoil would there be in this vast world now? Will they stick together and fight their way through, or will they fall into utter despair and intend to revelry at the end of their lives? Seriously, no one is optimistic about this kind of thing, the Light Chasers are not a race of great consciousness, the vast majority of them have lived in mobile world cities all their lives, and their vision is narrow, like worms cowering in their shells, preferring to stay in a comfortable steel shell rather than change the world.
You must know that not everyone is willing to make sacrifices for the sake of the 'greater collective' in the face of disasters, and the vast majority of intelligent beings are always more concerned about their own survival - if they really can't survive, it is better to enjoy a moment of joy at the end than to sacrifice, and return without regrets.
To put it more selfishly, it's also normal - the vast majority of intelligent life will feel that if the world is about to be destroyed, and saving it requires sacrificing one's own life, then it is better to let the whole world be destroyed together.
And this sentence, this idea, is actually not wrong. After all, the most important thing in intelligent life is the self, since the destruction of the world requires 'me' to die, and the world does not destroy 'me' to die, then why let the happiness of others be based on one's own sacrifice? Why can't we let everyone die together?
[Since I am not happy, then I also want others to be unhappy, what sacrifice, what noble, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than to build the happiness of all people on the death of a sacrifice. 】
[Why can't it be someone else's sacrifice, but me?] If that's bad luck, then I'm saying 'no'! There's no reason why I'm just unwilling, unwilling, unwilling to do this. 】
[This world has never given me anything, I come alone, die alone, and will never pay any price for it. 】
[It is also a pleasure for everyone to die together and return to the dead world together. 】
In fact, this idea is undoubtedly 'correct', and it is indeed in line with the 'life instinct'. This is a ferocious instinct to fight and resist against the world, society, and even fate that is not friendly, and who has to suffer and torture itself, and who has to die by itself. No one can force anyone else to sacrifice, not even God!
However, this idea, this kind of thinking, is actually cowardly.
"Why do you have to sacrifice to save the world? That's weird, isn't it? Can't we transform the world so that all people can live in peace without sacrifice? ”
"I'm not happy, so why do I have to make others unhappy instead of trying to make myself happy? Out of 10,000 people, 9,999 people are unwilling to stand up and stay in their comfort zone, but there will always be one person who is willing to stand up, not forced, but take the initiative to fight against this fate! ”
"Yes, the world we live in is so miserable, for example, it's like a sinister beast guarding a key place, and you have to choose one person from the tribe to feed it in order for the tribe to pass through it safely - but why sacrifice one person instead of everyone taking up arms and eradicating this beast?"
"I want to go to the darkest places, turn into light, burn into ashes, and illuminate every shadow."
Recalling the words of the Apostolic Orders, their speeches and vows, Mara closed her eyes.
It is true that the choice made by the latter, fighting with the 'evil beast', will definitely lead to the death of more people, and even the vitality of the entire tribe will be greatly damaged, or even destroyed—but for death, for all those who are destined to die in these three realms and nine heavens, the difference between death lies in the mentality.
The 'sacrifice' in the mouth of the former is a forced behavior, their anger and unwillingness, resentment and grief, the idea of wanting to pull people on their backs and let all sentient beings die with themselves, is the natural correctness of life, and no one can refute it with 'morality' or 'righteousness'!
However, the 'sacrifice' in the mouth of the latter is not any 'sacrifice' or 'death' at all, they just choose to stand up, just swing their swords towards all things and destiny in this heaven and earth, fight against all this suffering and torture, and in the end, they are just defeated.
And all the members of the Ashes Order, at least the members of the Glorious World Church City Ansenor, are all beings who dare to swing their swords at all things and destiny in heaven and earth...... Of course, as a large organization, they must also have dark, gloomy, unsightly, bloody and ugly places.
But, at least, Mara believes that all this is inevitable, because the Order is not strong enough to make sacrifices, and the choices that have no choice but must be made.
"At the bottom of the dusk area, all the stars that are easy to pull and not easy to find have long been pulled to the 'shadow star track' and transferred to the shining area through subspace.
The Ash Order has kept the flames of this world burning for 50,000 years, but no one has been discovered, in addition to the strict internal secrecy system and various restrictions, there is also the fact that the stars they choose to pull are very inconspicuous and not easy to find missing—but now, all the suitable stars have been emptied, and the Dusk Zone has long been riddled with holes, and if they want to continue to live in the world, they must make the Order more expensive, or more conspicuous.
This choice is not easy to make, even if they are conscious, but the power of the Order cannot be consumed in vain - but if people discover the matter of migrating stars, and then let the public discover the fact that the world is about to be destroyed, turmoil will definitely follow.
Shaking her head and opening her eyes, the first Pontifical Mara Manica gave up thinking about this question, she continued to lower her head, is it possible to deal with official business in this small office, whether it is the Order or her, there are many things to deal with, the matter of Karlis, Microf and Alpha is just a small episode, and she can't be persuaded and has no strength to arrest it, so naturally she can only ignore it, let these people who want to be free, live freely.
However, neither the First Pontifical nor the entire Ash Order could have imagined that.
The 'small episode' in their eyes is far more powerful than the 'worst possible' they imagined.
Fifteen days later, a bombshell news spread throughout the Shining Region.
[The Ash Order, which belongs, forges the world, the military industrial city of Faramin, was raided by unknown people, and the senses of 11.79 billion people in the city and even the whole world were stagnant, after recovery, the government center of the Ash Order in this city has been destroyed, fortunately, there are no casualties, but a large amount of confidential information has been lost]
This is news circulating in many world cities, and it sounds like some force hostile to the church or a strong person deliberately humiliating each other, and trying to find some information to use as black material - after all, the Ash Order has a great family, many followers, and many people who have offended, so it is not surprising to encounter this kind of thing, and there have been many attacks on the Ash Order in history.
But for the church, the destruction of the government center of the military-industrial city of Faramin is simply an insignificant matter - more importantly, they were built near the cruising route of the military-industrial city of Faramin, the secret foundation located in a mountain range was completely destroyed, the mysterious ancient obelisk numbered 'Eleven' was invaded by the enemy, and the ancient powerhouse codenamed 'Elemental Flower' was awakened and left!
"No one died—the staff of the 'Star Nest Base', including the legendary powerhouse guarding the base, 'Danore the Star Striker', were placed in a 'light bubble' that slumbered down, and by the time our support forces rushed over, the light bubble had just burst and there were no casualties...... But Obelisk 11 has completely lost its effectiveness, and with that ancient powerhouse gone, we no longer have the energy to maintain the 'Shadow Star Track' in the northwest of the Shining Region. ”
"The absence of the faithful is a good thing, and it also proves that the other party is not an evil person who kills innocents indiscriminately, nor is it an enemy of order...... It's just how did they know about the Star Nest base? This matter should be top secret within top secret. ”
"Awaken the Ancient Strong...... What are they going to do? ”
At the Pontifical Assembly in the Tower of the Torch, Mara had a simple and quick discussion with the other Thrones, but no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't guess the reason for the other party, and in this regard, the Order could only helplessly repair the government center of the military industrial city of Falamin, and at the same time strengthen the defense of several other star nest bases, allocate more legendary powerhouse defenses, and also accelerate the migration of stars, so as to avoid insufficient star transportation due to the failure of the Northwest Shadow Star Orbit.
After all, they don't even know who the enemy is, how can they make the next move, except for passive defense?
- Let's hope they can stop for a while. This is the truest thought of all the Order's higher-ups.
But soon, one after another bad news came.
First of all, the border colonies of the Dusk District have encountered the largest invasion of Chaos monsters since 5,000 years ago, and it has been unprecedentedly fast - in less than half a month, hundreds of mobile city colonies have been surrounded, seventeen mobile cities have lost contact, it is suspected that they have fallen, hundreds of billions of light chasers have died, and the chaos wave is still continuing to advance towards the depths of the Dusk District, and they are about to attack. The Westgate Star Chain Zone', which has a larger number of mobile urban colonies, is the core of order in the southwestern part of the entire Dusk District, and is also the edge defense line extremely close to the Shining Zone.
Then, because after the church was attacked some time ago, it didn't make much of a move, but blindly shrunk it, and was recognized by many other forces as a precursor to 'the church has begun to weaken', many countries and forces in the Alliance of Nations began to cast different eyes on the Ashes Order, they have long felt that something is wrong with such a super-large religious organization inherited from the age of the gods - now there is not even half a god, what do you want the Order to do? Especially since they also controlled so many divine weapons, this is a gift that belongs to all the light chasers, how can they let the Order hold it alone!
But the most chilling thing is not these - some mobile cities on the edge of the Shining Zone have begun to forge a thick defensive circle for their world, preparing to be completely cut off from the outside world for hundreds of years, and in the face of the imminent tide of chaos, they do not plan to meet and help their compatriots, but plan to retreat into their shells, let chaos rage, and then leave. Anyway, there aren't many Chaos Monsters that can break through the specially thickened barrier of the World City, and the World City is self-sufficient and doesn't need to communicate with the outside world much.
What does the suffering of the Twilight Zone have to do with them? Anyway, it is impossible for the Chaos Clan to exist in the Shining Region for too long, so it will be fine if you endure it.
In a short period of time, the invasion of Chaos, the indifference of compatriots, the change of attitude of allies and the looming peeping at the same time threatened the entire civilization circle of the Light Chasers, threatening the Ash Order - soon, the reason why the Chaos Cluster would advance so quickly this time was also found, it was precisely because the Dusk Zone had been continuously shrunk in the last 50,000 years due to the transfer of the Order from the stars, so that now it can no longer provide a buffer for the Shining Region, and can only let the monsters continue to attack.
The times, in the turmoil, began to gallop, and everything that was stable began to gradually shake under the passage of time.
But even under the cover of the big news of the large-scale invasion of chaos, there are always one great event after another - according to rumors, some explorers have found one after another hidden in the edge of the twilight area or in the core area, very spectacular, suspected to be the remains of the age of the gods crystal obelisk, they are accompanied by large starquakes, again and again the sky and the earth shine brightly, standing in the middle of the heavens and the earth.
At the same time, the Order, which was fully engaged in shrinking its defenses, also felt panicked - because they were strictly guarded, and the fifteen Star Nest bases that were fully prepared were being breached one after another - counting the first Eleventh Base, a total of eight ancient obelisk powerhouses had been rescued, leaving the Shadow Star Track without a source of energy. That's already half of the number, and even if the other half of the star orbits continue to pull stars, there is no way to continue to maintain the flames in the shining region.
Even, not only the Order felt flustered, but even the behemoth of the Alliance of Nations began to notice sluggishly that the territory of the Shining Region seemed to have shrunk by an insignificant amount during this time, and there was indeed a force in its own territory that was not only coming from anywhere.
They are scarce in number, but they are strong, and these strong men who do not belong to this era are hurrying through this heaven and earth, walking on a trajectory that is not intertwined with all things in the three realms and nine heavens.
"How is it, Iger, do you think the beings in this world are okay?"
In the Continent of Steel, in the twilight area, a small group of different races, different forms, carbon-based humanoids and silicon-based iron balls, looking very strange-looking powerhouses, were speeding in a mountain range, as if they were looking for something, and in the process, a silver-haired, red-eyed, slightly dark-skinned lady seemed to be looking for someone to chat, so she pulled an expressionless blonde boy on the side and forcibly chatted.
"Not good."
To the question of Microf, the reincarnation of the Cyborda in his hometown world, Eagle replied calmly, he recalled his recent journey to the Three Realms and Nine Heavens, and couldn't help but shake his head: "The vast majority of people are very numb to live, I really can't imagine that the team of the Safe Ash Order I met when I woke up was actually the most spiritual, energetic and confident group of people. ”
"As for the others, what do you say? It's like ...... A 'living corpse' running after the sun. ”
Hearing this, not only McCrof, but even the other powerhouses in the team, who had fought and died with Joshua in the Evil God Cluster in the Starfall Star Alliance in the past, and were now resurrected, not only nodded slightly in agreement. A living corpse chasing the sun? It's an apt analogy, and that's exactly what they've seen in recent times.
"yes." Hearing this, McCrove sighed, she was once the steel python, the mother of all things, and witnessed the rise and development of a great civilization in her, growing and expanding, and her feelings could only be deeper than Iger: "The oppressive world, the dangerous stars, the long-term migration and pursuit, the never-ending escape and submission, all intelligent life, dwelling in the steel shell called the world city, let their bodies survive, let their hearts gradually decay." ”
"Even, many mobile cities no longer communicate with each other – they are self-sufficient, they don't pretend to be others, and they even reject all foreign trade altogether. In this way, they close themselves in their little comfort zone, trying to ignore the erratic stars in the sky and concentrate on enjoying their lives for a hundred years...... All the civilizations in this world have long begun to decay, and the mobile city is like a moving living coffin, and all the corpses that live in it are only 'alive'. ”
100,000 years is enough time to wipe out all glory and faith - you know, whether it is Karlis, McCrof, or Iger, all the strong people who have awakened together, have seen some internal civilization degenerate into medieval mobile cities. In those mobile cities named 'Savage World', civilization has returned to primitive times due to wars, plagues, or the development of some dangerous technologies, and the methods of controlling mobile cities have been controlled by the high-level descendants of the past, and have become various mysterious and majestic 'rituals of the gods', who enjoy all the glory and wealth, exchange resources with other mobile cities for advanced technological enjoyment, and suppress the people at the bottom.
Not only that, but perhaps because they have reached the end and cannot go to the sky and the void outside the world, it is very difficult for the civilization in this world to develop subsequent technologies, and even fall into a misguided path, the technological progress of the Light Chasers has been stagnant for tens of thousands of years, and they have not even returned to the technological level of the Age of the Gods.
"Is there really a future for such a civilization and the world?"
One of the Demon Lords said with emotion. He is a legendary bone demon from an abyss in the multi-galaxy, who once had a brief but cordial exchange with the legendary powerhouse of the Microv civilization, Lolanda, and the bewitching demon lord Bhaska, since then, he has led his clan to join the Starfall Alliance, and in the final battle, he and Joshua traveled to the far reaches of the void to face the evil god cluster.
The Bone Demon King's doubts were raised, and no one answered at the first time, and everyone's hearts were full of disdain, after all, they came from the most glorious and enthusiastic era of the multi-galactic civilization, even if they knew that they had been sleeping for 120,000 years, they still thought that everything in the world should work hard like them. But in reality, what they saw was a civilization that was dying and aging, on the verge of destruction—the Light Chasers were chasing the light until they had completely lost their direction.
Even Alpha, a member of the Light Chaser, bowed his head in shame - he had followed Karlis's expeditions when he was young, and had lived in the most intelligent capital in the best environment since his middle age, and had basically never had a deep understanding of the conditions in many mobile cities...... The rancid stench emitted by this decay did not make him feel sick, but only made him feel deep confusion and sadness.
However, there are still people who disagree.
"There's a future."
The speaker, it was Iger, the pope who had regained his youth, looking back in the direction of the mobile city they had passed through, with a look of kindness that did not match the young face of today, and a kind of 'conviction' that went deep into the bone marrow, and he whispered, not knowing whether to answer the King of Bone Demons or to himself: "Don't laugh at these sunken ones, my friends, our civilization has also spent a long time in the multiverse beyond this world, will they be destroyed, or will they be equally degenerate?" We do not know, and even I am pessimistic, that our descendants have lost our former leaders, and that they may fall faster than the lightseekers. ”
"However, this does not mean that there is no hope for the future. Even in the face of the endless swarm of evil gods, don't we dare to charge? I firmly believe that both those who chase the light and our descendants who have been separated for a long time will regain their glory and glory in the future, and even if they have sunk to the end, one day they will be able to embrace hope again - isn't it for us who have fought to this day and risen from the dead? ”
This time, there was silence again, but compared to the previous dullness, the silence that appeared in the crowd this time seemed a lot more exciting.
"Worthy of the ...... of being a pope"
With a whisper of emotion, McCrove shook his head and looked ahead again.
And Karlis, who had not spoken from beginning to end, but had been firmly looking at his goal and moving forward firmly, finally spoke at this time.
"Yes, we still have to keep fighting, and there are more old friends to wake up."
Her voice was a little hoarse and low, but finally regained its firmness: "Let's move on." ”
Three Realms and Nine Heavens, the Continent of Steel, the core area of the Shining Region, and the Great Southern Heavenly Star Cross Star Area.
Glorious World Church City Ansino.
In the middle of the world, in the middle of the world, there is a stone monument inscribed with many song-like proverbs, and the handwriting on the stone tablet will automatically disappear, and everyone will see it differently...... It is said that no one has ever seen the same proverb, and it seems that the stone tablet reflects the viewer's heart and gives 'advice'.
Today, the first pontifical Mara Manica did not attend to her office, she went out in casual clothes like an ordinary person, walking around the square to relieve stress - and the members of the Ash Order who recognized her on the way did not bother each other, because they knew that this was the rare time when her leader stopped working from morning to night several times a year.
She walked all the way, emptying her mind, no longer thinking about how to save the world, how to maintain the shadow star track, no longer thinking about what to do if the Star Nest base was breached again—she briefly forgot about her responsibilities and allowed herself to breathe well.
Soon, I don't know whether it was deliberate or accidental, Mara came to the stone tablet of Proverbs - as a legendary powerhouse, she could naturally see that this was an 'artifact' left by a former deity, and this 'artifact' had no other use, but could echo people's hearts, as if she was cheering herself up, and strengthened the conviction of the viewer.
Obviously it doesn't have any combat power, but it is one of the most important artifacts of the entire Ash Order, and it is placed in the center of the World City Square, precisely so that more people can see it.
At this moment, Mara looked up at the tablet—she saw the handwriting on it.
[If you start to question your faith, the heavens and the earth will be shaken]
[In order to explain the meaning of the future, all the strong people are distressed by this]
[Stronger, stronger, and even stronger than stronger]
[The day of abandonment is the time of death, move forward firmly, never stop]
[The path of the strong is to turn their backs to all beings and show their fangs to fate]
"Ahh
Seeing the words revealed on this stone tablet, staring at the 'proverbs' that others would not be able to understand even if they saw it, and it was only issued for one person, Mara's face disguised as an expressionless face was finally shattered, she let out a long sigh and closed her eyes: "Have I recently begun to question my beliefs?" ”
"What is the future? Even if I have reached the limit of the legend and can control the stars, can I really change the Three Realms and Nine Heavens that are about to be destroyed? Even if you become stronger and stronger, there is no way to do it, right? ”
The powerhouses who mysteriously attacked everywhere, destroyed the star nest base everywhere, and destroyed the unknown forces that pulled the star shadow star tracks, in a short period of time, they turned tens of thousands of years of hard work of the Ash Order into nothing, and in the face of such a major blow, even the head of the Order, one of the strongest people in the Three Realms and Nine Heavens, Mara Maniga also felt powerless, all of this was like a merciless mockery of fate to her, to all the people who have struggled so far in all the Ash Order, as if to say, Her efforts were simply pointless.
But the day you give up, that's when hope dissipates!
Clenched her fists, even in the face of such despair, Mara opened her eyes again!
Even if the road ahead is bleak, even if she is mocked by fate, as the leader of the Ashes Order, she will still go on firmly—because this is the path of the strong, and this is the 'fate' she chooses to fight!
"The fate of the destruction of the world...... I would never agree with that! All the members of the Ashes Order, all the Catholics, did not sacrifice to this day for the sake of 'giving up'! ”
The destroyed base is a big deal to rebuild, and the lost energy source of the ancient powerhouse is a big deal to top it by itself - although the order is not strong enough to that point, it can be maintained at least temporarily, and when the time comes, gather the powerhouses of the entire Three Realms and Nine Heavens to tell the truth of the world, even if the vast majority of people will give up, there will always be someone willing to help!
Reasserting her determination again, Mara resolutely turned her head, she wanted to go back to work and continue to practice - for others, no matter how much they pressed, resting and sleeping, and even eating were always needed, but for the superbly strong, it was normal for three hundred and sixty-five days and twenty-four hours a day to not stop for a minute and a second, and they pressed themselves to fight hard, which was definitely more terrifying than any ordinary person.
However, halfway through, Mara suddenly turned her head with a solemn face and looked at the 'firmament' of the world city, where there was nothing but defensive formations.
"Enemy attack! Highest alert, enter a state of total war! ”
She immediately shouted, and the sound of a loud voice spread throughout the world—and at that moment, the crowd around her, all the people who were working, resting, and walking on the road, all the members of the Ash Order, all of them were in a state of readiness for the first time, and they began to run rapidly, using spells or all kinds of extraordinary skills, rushing towards their predetermined jobs!
Outside the world, a team stood above the mobile city, they looked down on the world, and saw with surprise that in just a dozen seconds, the [Glorious World Ansenor], which was still dormant, directly awakened and turned into an incomparably huge war fortress city! Countless formations, countless huge arrays of divine light emerged from every corner of this disk-like city, and the vast divine nano sea condensed at the first time, turning into a super giant fluctuating cannon muzzle that was slowly moving and aiming, aiming in the direction where they were.
"This spirit is completely different from other mobile cities - these members of the Ash Order are really full of determination and faith, just like us in the past when we faced the army of evil gods."
In the team, there were strong people who sighed, and Karlis, who was the leader, looked down on all this, and in the face of all the mortals and transcendents under her, even if they were attacked by a surprise attack, they were also unflustered and unshaken, she couldn't help but feel a trance - the other party's belief and will were so firm and united that in the face of the momentum of many legendary powerhouses in the air, there was no sign of collapse.
This feeling...... It's a long, long time ago, when I was with that guy, I could only feel it...... It is worthy of the life derived from his world, even if it is at the end of its destruction, is there still anyone who is unwilling to give up hope?
However, emotion, nostalgia, appreciation, and even self-doubt are only momentary sparks, igniting and extinguishing.
The former Steel Python once again firmly believes - they have their beliefs, they also have their own wishes, they want to maintain the world, they want to revive Joshua, the conflict between all things in this world, there is not much contradiction between 'right and wrong', more is the struggle between 'right' and 'right'!
"But, without a doubt, I am more correct than you."
The significance of Joshua's existence to this multiverse, even if it is a penny, is not comparable to you, I don't need your forgiveness, no matter how many times I repeat it, I will do the same.
She said so, thought so, and then, after practicing hard for a long time, and obtained the strong man who belonged to the power of the steel python in the past, raised her hand, and could see an incomparably huge serpentine drill bit, which began to condense around Karlis's arm, and became larger, until finally, it was like a continent in the shape of a drill bit, a giant snake that was hovering and entwined, and it was lifted by a person.
The huge drill bit hung down, aiming at the mobile city below, and the eyes of the silver-haired lady were as cold as an abyss.
"Hand over all the sons of the stars."
The incomparably behemoth drill in his hand began to turn, emitting a trembling roar, surrounded by a raging star-level storm, and Karlis said indifferently, "Otherwise, I will smash your world." ”
