Lords: From Civilization to the Stars

"Paradox Engine... an artifact that can use magic and psychic energy to freeze the time of the entire planet."

Looking at the huge steel creation like a hill that was placed on the edge of the old world and was humming, everyone couldn't help but look at the terrifying product with awe from the bottom of their hearts.

That was the real artifact that surpassed everything forged by the four Chaos Gods in cooperation with the most outstanding mages among intelligent creatures, using the great power of the gods in a short period of time. The entire system alone was as big as a hill. Countless mages and warriors who voluntarily sacrificed themselves exhausted their lives and magic inside, and continued to create a breathing space for the solidified world. Prevent the power of destruction from spreading completely.

The subspace began to operate and compress in the ritual fields of the four Chaos Gods and countless wizards all over the world. For the first time, the back of this world has undergone some changes and changes under the cooperation of the inside and outside. Because the greatest, most terrifying, and most cruel ritual in history is unfolding on this planet.

The drama called destruction and rebirth is being performed. Unreasonable natural disasters are attacking all countries. Even demons and nightmares have to join forces to fight against the indescribable horror, and finally have a decisive battle in the old world.

Yes, the old world is the place of the final battle.

From the advent of the ancient saints, bringing life to this world, to the prosperous world of all nations today, to the second advent of the land of advent, and the heaven he promised, the old world has carried too many things from the concepts of religion and mysticism. Now, the ritual of destruction and rebirth is being performed here.

That is an impossible ritual, the original concept of chaos, the concept of destruction that existed at the beginning of all life but will never appear. Even the chaos gods can't figure out where the monster came from. Even players can understand the preciousness of life, and even players can't dig out this pure destruction. Because the requirements of this ritual are actually a paradox.

Choose to destroy yourself and everything in the world while acknowledging that you and everything in the world are together. You can't even mix any desires and ideas, just destroy for the sake of destruction, so that you can touch this pure ritual.

Then the freak did it.

He was fearless and believed from the bottom of his heart that he loved everyone in this world, and then he started the final ceremony without hesitation.

The Great Whirlpool had disappeared. As the price of the tenth impact, the island of the ceremony had disappeared. The product of the concept of blocking demons and the subspace had completely disappeared from the concept of the ceremony in this world. There was only a dry hole in the center of Ulthuan.

Instead, there was the pure golden light that filled the sky. This yellow light meant that the owner of this will was an unstoppable and unreasonable monster. I am afraid that he did not even realize how cruel his behavior could bring. He had cognition with everything in this world, but he did not belong to any corner of this universe. Once this contradictory ceremony was generated, it could only be stopped by everything of the Four Gods.

"...There are thirty seconds left before this round of time stop ends."

"Leon's anchor cabin has begun to fail. Destruction is unstoppable. We can't stop his actions at all. I'm afraid there will be no next round of time stop that allows us to move freely."

"Even so, the current situation is acceptable. We have at least assembled a considerable number of troops. No matter from what perspective, at least we still have the right to choose. It's a pity that the city-states directly below the old world, they originally had superb teleportation technology, but they were destroyed by natural disasters."

"All this is fate, everything is the result of fate."

Countless compound eyes looked at the possible future, and the light blue figure folded his hands and looked at the surging crowd below indifferently.

The Chaos Gods naturally couldn't believe in or love any ordinary humans, but they also knew that it was impossible to resist the real Leon with their own strength. The subspace was retreating step by step, not to mention the freak whose flesh was still in reality.

Because his concept is the natural enemy of the Chaos Gods. The Chaos Gods at least burst out from all desires and hopes. But the spectacle of destruction represents the opposite of all desires and hopes, a point that is portrayed in life and no one will face up to it. That is the desire for death of intelligent creatures. Their desire for self-destruction has never had a carrier, but now they have one.

Compared with countless complicated interests and ideas, the desire for death is naturally very simple. He only pursues death. Apart from that, there is no other requirement.

If you don't want to die tragically, don't want to die so humble, then you have to live ugly and live by any means.

But sadly, this is exactly the opposite of the desire for death.

No matter how you struggle, the destination of a person is death and despair. Even gods are no exception. All suffering, sin, and desire are caused by the concept of life. But the opposite of pure destruction is nothing. In a sense, he is even the opposite of the subspace.

Because he opposes the existence of the soul, he is even gradually dismantling and destroying the subspace itself. As a reflection of the world, even the subspace, the sea of ​​souls of living beings, must have the desire to die.

Can the judgment that was finally built up by millions of years of desire really be killed by the Phoenix King?

Maybe, maybe not. But no matter what, life must cross the stage of self-death before it can grow faster and curb this desire for death.

Can life without soul, life without spirit and magic still be called life? At least the Chaos Gods don't think so. So these enemies, whose differences were originally so great that they could not be imagined, joined forces with each other and gradually created such an engine that violated the laws of the material universe.

There were no other requirements or ideas. The most elite 1% of all the mages in the world were extracted and sent here in order to gain the last strategic transfer time. In the blue light gate like a tide, soldiers in armor and different styles filed out of the portal, and under the guidance of the extraordinary flames of those demons, they settled down in their respective directions and locations.

In the static world, countless armies and supplies are being assembled. From the perspective of outsiders, it is probably just a moment that the periphery of the old world has forged a continuous construction site that looks like it can accommodate tens of millions of people.

Time stopped, and this power of the gods finally descended on the earth. But in fact, this concept is a trick. There is no such thing as time stopping in essence, but it is relative. Individuals and creations affected by mana will accelerate time. In that moment, it accelerated to an unimaginable degree.

Unilateral acceleration of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of times is relatively time stopping. This is the essence of the paradox engine created by the Chaos Gods using divine power. In order to help these intelligent creatures gather their strength, these powerful Chaos Gods really consumed all their abilities. Even now, they are hanging on the top of the paradox engine, using their infinite magic power to charge and resist the golden lines spreading in the sky.

"There are five gods in this world... Four of them are helping us now."

"But the fifth one we are fighting is even crazier than these four. Even the power that can stop time on a large scale is useless in front of that crazy god... What kind of nightmare am I having?"

Looking at the sky gradually spreading and spreading, the black and white space gradually began to be dyed with golden colors. Even a complete magic illiterate now realized that the situation seemed to be getting worse. Those golden curtains are pervasive, transcending the lines of the concept of time and penetrating into the subspace with super-dimensional means.

At the beginning, the Chaos Gods still tried to maintain those sealed secret places together with the leaders of various tribes used for acting, and created a meeting room for Leon that looked lifelike. They determined that Leon's main thinking was a contradictory individual with bad taste, who liked to observe the postures of those rebels when he had an advantage. It was this arrogance that gave everyone a chance to breathe.

After all, if this guy secretly launched the ceremony, I'm afraid everyone would be kept in the dark. If the players, these treacherous guys, were not still useful, the Negative Stars would have completed the final ritual of destruction. It was not their turn to act.

But even so, those golden supernatural lines still keenly captured the disharmony of the world's flow and began to spread in this relatively accelerated space. The individuals that originally moved at hundreds of millions of times the speed began to slow down gradually.

Although their own speed of action did not change at all, they were still moving and building at a brisk pace, but the interference to the outside world was getting bigger and bigger.

From the original speed of hundreds of millions of times that would not interfere with the outside world, to the current tens of millions of times, millions of times, step by step, speeding up and breaking through. Until at a certain critical point, people suddenly saw the colors of the world and heard the sounds of birds and flowers outside the realm.

Those flying birds and small animals looked at the fortresses and countless soldiers that appeared in the blink of an eye in horror, chirping in panic, and fled madly from the steel jungle.

But the whole land has been reinforced by civil engineers and mages into a fortress made of anti-magic steel plates. This carefully built fortress specifically for the ritual of destruction is engraved with runes that disperse psychic energy. In front of these anti-magic marks and metals, even the most elite mages cannot cast even a little spell. Similarly, the elves in front of the realm looked at each other in confusion.

They could not feel the consciousness connection from Leon. Not only the consciousness connection, but even the thinking seemed to be disturbed, filled with a strange noise and clamor. It was like going from an extremely noisy place to an absolutely quiet place in an instant, and there were some echoes of noise in the mind.

Just watching the movements of the elves on the fortress, everyone realized it. The Phoenix King Olivien did not lie, and it was indeed possible to use various props to interfere with the psychic connection of the negative star.

But they were not happy, and there was no time to be happy.

They saw that the golden line that tore the black and white space began to slowly descend, condensing into a platinum-colored human figure in front of people. The Lord of the Negative Stars appeared in public for the second time in front of the world.

It's just that compared to the performance of righteous words when facing the Chaos Demon for the first time, although the second time they faced the Chaos Demon, he still spoke with agenda, but everyone was full of fear of this Lord of the Star Negators who seemed to hate evil. . They silently held the weapons in their hands, looked at the shadow in the sky, and swallowed.

"...A very good strategy. I see. Does my psychic communication have such a weakness? Even I don't know it."

The golden figure said with a smile in mid-air.

Although it was just one sentence, the voice of their native language was conveyed in everyone's minds, so that everyone could clearly hear the sigh from the golden monster.

"However, it's really a bad move for you to stop time."

he said.

"I don't care because although time can be stopped, it cannot stop forever. Although you yourself think that after time is stopped, there will be endless time to slowly assemble the army, but you have not remembered one thing, that is, your Emotions will accumulate indefinitely.”

"What I grasp is the concept of destruction. The more you fear, the more you recognize, and the more you take action, the more it will stimulate my development. So if you fight with me, you might still have a chance of winning. "

"But just because of your own actions, the fluctuations in the subspace have begun to shift to my side in all aspects."

"The four gods of chaos are all afraid of the power, and I am the only monster who can kill the gods in reality. Is this how you understand it? Then this has become a reality."

"So you see, it's all your fault for your reckless actions...The eleventh impact is about to begin."

After smashing the empty space and looking at the horrified people, Li Ang smiled and pointed his finger at the sky.

A rainbow light flashed across the sky, and the next moment, the world turned into the purest white. Even the ears and eyes could no longer see any other colors, only the most terrifying piece of pure white.
