Chapter 23: Rising Up and Fighting (5800)
Radiance.
An endless stream of light is spreading in the void like a mighty tide.
The tide was as turbulent as the heavenly river, and its surging spread caused the galaxy to shake, and all the worlds were shaken, and the heavens were immersed in it.
Dark.
The murkiest darkness stands in the void, like a solid reef.
The reef is so stable that even the surging tide can only bring up inconspicuous splashes and debris, and the torrent that can shake the world cannot shake it in the slightest, as if it were an eternity.
In the light of the light, the darkness has never been so striking, they are approaching, neither fast nor slow, neither hasty nor slow, and the endless dark tentacles wriggle in the void, and the movements are as stiff as a silhouette play, making one wonder if this is an illusion.
But it's not an illusion.
It's true.
The fluctuations of chaos, rushing to the face, suffocating despair, are spreading in the hearts of all people.
It had the same aura as the army of evil gods encountered by the Biros Galaxy, and it was extremely silent, almost blocking all detection—if it weren't for the fire that Joshua had lit to illuminate the void, I am afraid that everyone would not have been able to predict it before they arrived, just like the Biros Galaxy had almost no warning before it was invaded.
Still need to guess? The truth is so obvious - beyond those multiple galaxies, even the light does not reach the end of the darkness, like the stars, and even the clusters of tentacles that are far more numerous than the stars, and the ones who make them up are evil gods.
That's all, evil god.
The tentacles of darkness in the sky slowly approached, approaching from all directions, it was like a fist that was gradually clenching, wanting to hold the entire multi-galactic galaxy in the palm of its hand, looking at them, the people who were shocked, happy, and felt hope because of the fire lit by Joshua, now all of them were silent, their lips trembled in shock, as if they wanted to say something, their trembling hands wanted to clench, but they always fell short, and they could only fall weakly.
The powerhouse from another world floated in the void, looking a bit like a giant wingless dragon, he had just killed an evil god before, and was immersed in the joy that he was strong enough to resist the invasion of the World Eater, but now, he just froze in place, and he didn't even notice that he was hit by the floating wreckage of the world, and his thick arms and body were as if they had shrunk at a glance, losing their original sense of power, and just like that, they floated together with the wreckage of the world that hit him.
An arthropod powerhouse who looked like an erect spider stared intently at the light of the sky with his eight eyes, and the darkness that could not be penetrated by the light, and was so thick and slowly approaching, he stared wordlessly, and the four hands holding the weapon were released...... Beside him was a nearly half-destroyed fortress, the wreckage of a large fleet floating in the void, and anyone could tell how much they had paid to hold it in the previous battle.
Similar existences, similar strong people, and many, many.
The overly bright light shone through the sky, so that the entire multi-galactic galaxy, all the beings who could observe the void, all the beings who could look into the distance, could see with their own eyes, beyond the multi-galactic galaxy of the world, beyond the multi-galaxies, was approaching, too colossal darkness.
And because of that......
Desperation, is spreading.
"What...... That thing, that thing......"
The body of a strong man of the Lund civilization trembled and muttered to himself, the metal minerals that made up his body had collapsed, and the original ball-like body was now pitted, which was enough to prove how many hard battles he had experienced, and proved that he did have the courage to face the army of evil gods—but now, this huge iron ball, the electromagnetic hum in his body alone, had a whimpering tone: "Don't tell me...... Don't say they're all evil gods......"
To his almost pleading question, no one answered, and no one dared to answer. Because it was a dark chaos that exceeded the total number of lives in the entire multi-galaxy, a tide of evil gods that was enough to overwhelm everything.
Intelligent life has a limit to what it can do to despair.
They can accept to fight an endless number of enemies until the end of their own lives, or even the destruction of civilization, all for the sake of fighting for a paltry glimmer of hope for the future. They can accept the fact that the light is actually a rare party in this dark multiverse, and they can even optimistically think that 'at least our descendants still have a chance to live in the light' when they are completely destroyed, and then they have the courage to die calmly.
But this does not mean that with this courage, you can be at ease in the face of an absolutely overwhelming enemy, an absolutely overwhelming defeat that can be said to be 'inevitable and hopeless'.
[Information Search: The army of evil gods who drowned the multi-galactic galaxy...... The Extreme Sublimation Aggregate has indeed described that it is enough to submerge the World Galaxies and completely cover the entire multi-galactic army.]
The information transmission of the triple curtain is also rare to have a sense of solemnity: [Information search: Even, according to its description, even the entire multi-galaxy has been completely erased - perhaps the multi-galaxy where it was located at the beginning encountered such an army]
It's a spectral intelligence aggregate, and there is no fear in the usual sense, but there aren't many beings like him.
Even Joshua was stunned.
Crushed the hand that condensed the core of the evil god, slowly put it down, the light gradually dimmed, the warrior looked up, looked at the endless darkness in the sky, his face became shocked little by little, and then became solemn little by little, and finally became solemn little by little.
"One, two, three......"
He counted softly: "Ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million......"
Unlike other beings who couldn't see any details, the warrior could clearly see how many of them were evil gods, how many were Chaos Clans, and how many of them were just near-holy evil gods, and how many were ordinary evil gods.
But when he counts, he doesn't count, he doesn't waste his time doing meaningless things, counting the endless tentacles of darkness, counting how many evil gods there are in these tentacles.
Because it was just that, at present, it could be seen at a glance that among the small batch of chaotic tentacles closest to the multi-star galaxy, there were forty-five Near-Sage Evil Gods.
They calmly galloped through the void, invading from every direction of the multi-galactic galaxy, leaving no gap, all the tentacles gathered together, it was like a 'strangulation' with no dead ends, this momentum and number were even far more terrifying and unstoppable than what the Extreme Sublimation Aggregate had encountered at the beginning.
There is not even the possibility of escaping - because the endless tentacles of evil gods are like an incomparably huge net, but any existence above a certain size will inevitably be discovered by them and filtered out to hunt them.
"Priest and Alva......"
Joshua muttered to himself, his tone heavy, "And the Aether Ring World we forged...... Can you really fool these evil gods and avoid them safely? ”
This army of evil gods attacking from every direction, not to mention the question of whether it can escape, even if Joshua can kill the Near-Holy Evil God, but it is impossible to stop it at all-those forty-five Near-Holy Evil Gods are just the closest group of tentacles, and after that, God knows how many, whether it is a hundred times or a thousand times, or even an order of magnitude larger.
"No, don't say it's blocked."
In the face of multiple near-holy evil gods, it is actually unknown whether he can win or not.
Joshua sighed, although he was confident enough, he was not arrogant enough to deceive himself into believing - he was indeed very strong, but could there be a 'weak' near saint? Could it be that civilizations and strong people who can advance to this realm have any weaknesses that can be exploited?
However, looking at this scene, Joshua could figure out why the situation had suddenly become so sinister.
"Yes, the shadow subspace created by the Shadow Sage."
He whispered, and the warrior couldn't help but show a wry smile: "Only this one explains." ”
The shadow subspace created by the Shadow Sage has spread throughout the multiverse, connecting all isolated multi-galaxy groups, allowing future civilizations to cross endless time and space to fight against the endless clusters of evil gods—but in the same way, the passage connecting all worlds will also make it easier for countless evil gods in the void to gather together and invade and destroy again and again at a faster speed.
Even the Holy Light is actually a kind of guidance of the evil gods, and the bright light is like a beacon in the void, and the lighthouse echoes and guides the evil gods forward - of course, civilizations can do the same, which is also one of the original characteristics of the Holy Light.
From the perspective of the future, the future war against the evil god may be that multiple multi-galactic civilization clusters will join together to fight, with greater strength and more resources, which can directly resist the tide of chaos that cannot be resisted by a single multi-galaxy, which is indeed far better than a single multi-galactic galaxy fighting alone, more different knowledge and civilizations are mixed together and communicate with each other, and naturally they can get closer to the truth, and more strong people, near-saints, and even new sages will emerge.
This is probably the hope in the mouth of the sages.
Indeed, this is really hope. Joshua has long understood this, so he has always had confidence in the future.
But it also means something else.
That is, after the Sages and Shadow Sages, the first galaxy civilization to bear the changes brought by them, the first to deal with the end of the era tribulation, I am afraid that it is not too late to unite other multiple galaxies, and it must use the resources of one galaxy and the power of one galaxy to face the ultimate calamity that many multiple galaxies can face in the future when they join forces to face the ultimate calamity.
Just like everyone can see now—the dark tentacles that cover the sky and the sun, even the void is filled, and it is a chaotic cluster that is enough to destroy a multi-galactic galaxy God knows how many times, and it is an enemy that many multi-galactic civilizations can only defeat when they join forces in the future, and even need to fight a stalemate.
And now, facing them, there is only one civilization in the galaxy.
The light dimmed, and Joshua looked up into the dark void, the four hands of the giant god hanging at his side, his gaze staring at the distant side.
- The first person to eat crabs is always at a loss.
- The first to arrive in the New World will always encounter new plagues and dangers.
- The first to blaze a new trail is always unclear about what lies ahead, what is gained, and what enemies are there.
The first, the first, the first—the first, is the supreme glory, the first means that everything is the first, and the most precious first-hand information can be obtained.
But the first, and most dangerous, is that because you have no experience to speak of, you will make a stupid mistake, because you can only cross the river by feeling the stones, so you don't know whether it is a solid stone or a raging whirlpool.
- They're coming, much sooner than anyone thinks
Now, Joshua's multi-galaxy is facing these - the first multi-galaxy to encounter the multiverse-level catastrophe of the later generations, everything they see and witness now is precious information for other civilizations in the future, which is enough to make the civilizations of other multi-galaxy in the future fearfully united, and there will no longer be any unnecessary friction and disputes.
But I'm afraid that if the civilization of later generations wants to know this news, they can only dig up the ruins and ruins.
"Too much."
"Too urgent."
The warrior said to himself, "I have ...... There is no time left. ”
Time is running out.
He had just broken through to the Near Sage not long ago, even if he had a profound background and was supported by many sages and other Near Sages, but there was still a long way to go from the realm of the Sage - he still needed to accumulate, sharpen, think and verify, in order to break through step by step, steadily and steadily, and advance to a higher existence.
But now, there is no room left for him to develop with peace of mind.
The Biros Galaxy, the Lost Galaxy, the many Galaxies, and even the entire Diverse Galaxy, all the strong men who came to the front line, who were about to come to the front line, and who were still guarding their hometowns, were silent. They didn't know which side to defend onwards, because there were endless evil gods coming at them on either side. Their silence may not be due to fear, but there is no doubt that there is despair.
Fear and despair are not the same - even if a fearful person goes to fight, he will cower, but it cannot be said that he has no hope of victory in his heart, there is a trace of hidden fire, and a desperate person can die generously, but his heart has long been cold, because they know that only death and defeat are the only ending.
The Seven Gods stood with the other McCroft powerhouses, Yi Zhe touched his beard, the dwarf god only didn't know what to say, just sighed, and Yue Wai was unexpectedly not worried, he had long been determined to die, and he also looked very lightly about the future.
But the other gods and the strong can't be as calm as these two, some people close their eyes, as if they can't bear the despair of continuing to watch, and some people take out the communication circle, as if they want to contact their familiar relatives, but he opens the communication list, but he doesn't know what to say.
Say the last words? It's too early, it's too funny, and this hasn't started yet, at least when the other evil tentacle clusters really come.
But is it useful to say that I love you, that I love you?
Does the courage to unite as one, the will to fight hard, make sense?
Firm faith, bloody struggle, fight to the end, never retreat - the previous propaganda slogans were all with 'victory' and 'hope' as a glimmer of light, in order to induce people to inspire their full power - but now, these words have become hollow and illusory, can this still be said out loud?
Too naïve, too cute, what an unyielding will, what a passionate spirit, in the moment of contrast with the darkness, it is almost like a child's whisper.
"What can we do?"
As if talking to himself, as if asking, the law says, "What else can we do? ”
That's a good question—for for a moment, there was no one to answer, and once again silence fell.
- But now, it has really reached the point where you are helpless and can only close your eyes and wait for death?
Joshua sighed deeply.
- He is a non-smoker, and even if someone invites him, he will turn it down.
- He also doesn't drink, and he will only respond if a good friend raises a glass.
He doesn't care about food, and he has no interest in ** and enjoyment. He doesn't kill time, even playing games and going for walks have their own purposes. He never uses any side means to dissipate his will, he always does what he wants, and is the purest version of himself while ensuring that he has no influence on others.
He doesn't need to smoke to relieve his worries, he doesn't need to drink to drown his sorrows, he doesn't need food and carnal desires to numb himself, a warrior doesn't need anything, he can do whatever he wants, he can do whatever he wants.
Even if it will make others feel regretful and reluctant, that is his choice.
This time, of course, it was the same.
"Ah, what a blessing."
With a low exhale, the man raised his head and reached out to grasp the darkness in the canopy, just as he had reached out to the stars in anticipation when he was a child.
"Thankfully, I've always been an abnormal person, I've always been crazy, and I thought that there would be such a day."
- In a world without miracles, I fantasize about fighting powerful and extraordinary enemies, and in a world with miracles, I fantasize about fighting opponents who are stronger than before. The world loved me and made my fantasies come true, and I am still happy to this day.
- But even so, I know that reality is always worse than I expected, that what I fantasize about is worse, and that even things that I can't imagine may actually exist in reality.
The man clenched his hands, as if trying to catch all the darkness in the sky, but just as a child could not grasp the stars, he only shook his palms and made a fist at the sky.
"I've always thought that I can succeed in becoming a sage and defeat the mastermind behind the scenes, so that I can achieve my goal, end the cycle of sorrowful rings, restore peace to the multiverse, and reshape it with my own order. In this way, I may be able to change myself, so that I can become less crazy about looking forward to fighting, and at least occasionally enjoy the time with my family and friends. ”
"I really thought about it, I really loved them, I could hear all the hopes and wishes they poured out to me, all I wanted to respond."
But now, the dream woke up.
"This is the battle that awaits me, I get it. Eternal and endless, annihilating all enemies, this is my battle. I had long thought that there would come a day, but when it actually happened, it was still a bit hard to accept. ”
Before, the light lit by the warrior was extinguished, so that everything in the silent void returned to darkness, and the normal light of the multi-galaxy shone faintly, so that the enemy who was approaching in the distance could not be seen, and everything was extremely calm, as if everything he had seen before was like an illusory dream.
In this way, many strong people, many beings, can deceive themselves, saying that those are all false, they do not exist, they can temporarily break free from despair and return to normal thoughts.
- But Joshua has woken up from true despair!
So, he clenched his fists again, and the warrior raised his right hand without hesitation.
He lit the light again—a much brighter, clearer, more surging light than before!
This light lit up again, awakening everyone, and once again it crossed the multi-galactic river, across the silent void, and completely illuminated all the enemies, every minute of it, undoubtedly, and this immediately caused a large uproar, making many of the beings who had managed to calm down tremble and cover their eyes, and almost collapsed.
Although they knew that it was wrong to think this way, they still couldn't help but blame, to hate the warrior who made them see the truth, they couldn't help but complain, let them witness this too pale and cold truth too early - can't they just let them paralyze themselves and slowly accept this fact? Do you have to make them despair, do you have to let them give up on themselves?!
But a voice sounded, like a desolate trumpet, like an impassioned war song.
"The future may be cruel, but don't run away from it."
His voice spread throughout the multi-galaxy, any life could hear it, the four-armed giant god raised his right fist, he looked up at the void, staring intently at the infinite enemy, his tone was solemn, but not heroic: "Whoever does not want to rise up and fight, victory will never come to him." ”
The man's voice laughed, with justice, courage, hope, determination, arrogance, anger, murderous intent, and destruction.
——The light of all things shines brightly through all worlds.
- Dark clusters creep closer to the world.
- The flame is coming to an end.
- The wind of light howled.
- He is now full of determination -
