this infinite world

"Let me see what's going on..."

As the young man with the Soul of Steel opened his eyes from a half-awake state, the transformed Grungast suddenly appeared, standing in the void of the universe.

Although he had already decided on the future path to develop into the "True Dragon Tiger King", Luo Gandao still had trouble choosing the world to train in... There was no other reason, it was just that there were too many worlds to choose from.

Whether it is going to the world of the original Gundam to study the miracles of NEW-TYPE and Axis, or going to the world of SEED to study what is "adjustment man" and "explosion", or going to the world of "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" to experience space opera, everyone has their own opinions, which makes Luo Gandao, a senior fan of mecha battles, hesitant... In the end, Chu Xuan took the initiative to use the List of Gods and made the best choice for him.

"The plane you are about to enter has countless civilizations that use various types of mechas as weapons. I think this will be a great training for you." Chu Xuan said as he looked at the List of Gods.

"Uh...what about the plot? What is the plot of this world like? Is it purely original?" Luo Gandao scratched his head.

"It's a hybrid world that is equivalent to a hybrid mecha worldview. It contains not only the MS and VF fighters that you, Logan, are familiar with, but also mobile weapons that have never appeared in the works. Of course, this also means that the universe is full of enemies that require such powerful weapons to fight, as well as some 'old friends' that you may find very familiar..."

"…Old friend?"

Although Luo Gandao had not entered Chu Xuan's laboratory to fight with his body for a long time after unlocking the fourth-level gene lock, at this moment, he still unconsciously recalled the unforgettable memory that was almost imprinted in his genes.

Chu Xuan glanced at Luo Gandao and continued, "In the future, we will definitely fight with the Honghuang Heavenly Court again. On such a large-scale battlefield, the strength of one person is always limited, so you must shoulder the responsibility of a commander, rather than an ace pilot who can destroy an army alone."

"In addition, if possible, I hope you can bring the mature scientific and technological technologies in this world back to the Lord God Space. Although I can exchange them from the Lord God or research them myself, my energy is always limited..."

Thinking of the affirmation and expectation in Chu Xuan's words before leaving, Luo Gandao subconsciously looked at the countless mechas behind him... Unlike the others in the team, Luo Gandao returned this time with an entire army, as well as the mecha hunters who had fought together many times in the Pacific Rim plane.

The Pacific Rim plane is now the core of Yang Yun's inner world, so the humans there are directly bathed in the life energy and miracle light emitted by Jianmu. Although they have not evolved into extremely powerful giants of light like the Ultraman family irradiated the plasma spark tower, their genes and souls have also been awakened. The monster gene fragments that the pioneers spread to pollute the earth have become the seeds of evolution, allowing even the most ordinary residents to have basic life energy circuits and weak mental abilities.

The mecha hunters are the best of the best, and with Chu Xuan's genetic enhancement and mental enhancement technology, they not only obtained the physical fitness and mass-produced divine equipment of humanoid monsters through oracle cell transplantation, but also relied on the mental skeleton to forcibly stimulate the brain and awaken telekinesis. Their own abilities alone are enough to rival the reincarnations below the fourth level.

Not only that, they also analyzed Logandao's past combat data and mass-produced the "Wild Dragon Mecha" that he drove during the Immortal Sword period and the "Grungast" that he exchanged for later, and equipped them to ordinary soldiers and elite fighters respectively. In addition, the space fleet equipped with a simplified version of the wave motion cannon that was manufactured later, if the current EDC sets foot on the battlefield of the Pacific Rim again, it will definitely have the ability to fight on an equal footing -

"...Energy fluctuations have been detected. A battle should have taken place at the twelve o'clock position, at the Seven Light Division!"

Suddenly, a prompt sounded from the system in Logando's body, and then the screen on the side quickly reflected the battle scene. It was a group of obviously modified flesh and blood monsters, besieging a fleet of humans.

On the other side of the communication system, the EDC commander also asked: "Excuse me, do we need to take action?"

"Do you even need to ask?"

Looking at the picture on the screen, Luo Gandao smiled excitedly——

"Hit me hard!"

……

——The battle came so suddenly.

As soon as he arrived in this world, Logandao fought a battle and rescued a human fleet from a parasitic race that was somewhat similar to the Pioneers in Pacific Rim, who also transformed other intelligent races into biological weapons for combat.

Although it is called a "fleet", it is actually an immigrant team with a population of tens of millions, composed of a transport ship with a total length of eight kilometers, thousands of civilian spaceships, and a complete military fleet... Of course, such a large team naturally became the target of countless space monsters.

Unexpectedly, these rescued fleets did not do as Rogandao and the EDC command had expected. Even if they received help, they would still be cautious about keeping a distance from the aliens of unknown civilization. Instead, they took the initiative to provide supplies and conduct technological and cultural exchanges.

This "unguarded" behavior was completely unimaginable to the residents of the Pacific Rim, whose only alien race they had ever interacted with was the Pioneers. After all, this was a highly civilized interstellar fleet, not the kind of ancient worldview that saw injustice and drew their swords to help... But as the EDC and the fleet exchanged diplomacy, they began to understand each other's ideas.

In this universe filled with mysteries and terrors beyond human intelligence, all civilizations and races are equally insignificant. Encountering a race with which one can communicate and understand each other in the vast void is already a miraculous coincidence. Seizing the opportunity to cooperate with each other and promote the evolution of civilization is the most rational way to survive in the universe. There is no energy left for suspicion and fighting.

Although due to historical reasons, the people of the Pacific Rim plane could not easily accept such a concept. However, in the face of the friendly gesture shown by the other party, out of respect for this goodwill and consideration of their own interests, they finally decided to accept the concept of human civilization in this world and take on the responsibility of escorting this fleet to the human planet base... Moreover, this was also to complete Chu Xuan's instructions before leaving.

To be honest, this escort mission was much more difficult than expected. In the subsequent process, Luo Gandao first encountered an overwhelming army of carbon-based slave races created by silicon-based civilization, and then encountered a group of strange creatures that could continuously evolve by assimilating biological and mechanical creatures. After a series of bloody battles, they finally succeeded in escorting the fleet intact to the designated location... Since the mission is so difficult, the rewards after completion are unimaginable. The "Valkyrie" body skeleton structure that allows the humanoid body to transform into a high-speed fighter in 0.1 seconds, and the "Phoenix" ultimate nano armor that can self-repair and absorb or radiate energy fields... These alone are priceless and enough to promote another leap in science and technology.

——However, compared to the scientists in EDC who quickly devoted themselves to research and communication, Luo Gandao was more troubled by two problems.

The first thing is his own practice. It's not that he lacks resources or doesn't know how to become stronger. Quite the contrary, it's because the powers Luo Gandao possesses now are too many and too diverse - the use of spatial abilities brought by his high-level bloodline, the spiritual light "Soul of Steel" waiting to be developed, and the rune analysis of virtual creations such as the "Dragon King Breaking Mountain Sword", which makes it difficult for him to make a choice.

Of course, this is just the so-called "happy trouble", and there is no need to worry too much about it, because another thing is the real problem, and it is also related to the feeling when he just came to this world... Through his spiritual perception, Luo Gandao realized that he, the uninvited guests from outside the world, were being targeted by "something".

It was as if a pair of invisible eyes were silently watching, or as if they were being manipulated by invisible hands and dragged into a vortex of cause and effect. After Luo Gandao led the mecha hunters to rescue the immigrant fleet from despair, what followed was endless attacks from various cosmic monsters.

At first, those attacks could be attributed to the inevitable evil in the universe; however, the subsequent events seemed too precise and too deliberate. In such a vast universe, they naturally did not move through ordinary navigation, but through wormhole technology or space jumps. However, in the process, they were often caught in dimensional shocks and thrown into various dangers... such as the center of the battle between two civilizations, such as the depths of the lair of space monsters.

Sometimes they would be sent to strange but not dangerous worlds - strange planets with ruins of civilization but no life. Or a blood-red primitive ocean with rising and falling tides, or huge crystal pillars standing tall in a desert made of white salt-like crystal gravel, or the entire planet turned into a tree that merged the corpses of all life.

As a strong man who has reached the intermediate level of the fourth stage, Luo Gandao can feel a pulsation that seems to be a collective lament in the cores of these planets. It is the echo of countless weak spiritual lights, as if the consciousness of all living beings on the entire planet has turned into a grand ensemble, embedded in the higher will of the universe...

——It was not until he accidentally stepped into the ruins of an ancient destroyed civilization that he learned the truth behind it all, as well as the true identity of the mastermind who had been against him all along...it was the world will of this great cosmic plane.

That’s right, similar to Cheng Xiao, the moment Luo Gandao, as a visitor from the main god space, stepped into this universe, he was targeted by the world will of this big universe!
According to the records in the ruins, this universe is not just a cold void without a self, but a physical entity that carries the will of the world and is called the "Akasha Record" by the natives of this universe. Even those monsters that come like an endless tide are not just blind creatures, but tools and puppets controlled by the other party.

In this universe, once the civilization of intelligent life develops to a certain level, it will trigger the "harvest" process of the Akashic Records. The universe will "enlighten" some of the forerunners in the civilization, allowing them to feel the truth of this universe, and then trigger the destruction of civilization from within, integrating the life of the entire planet into one, and returning to the embrace of the original... Once intelligent life rises up to resist and refuses to return to the original, they will be regarded as pathogens of the universe by the will of the world. Those monsters are like the white blood cells of the universe.

The dead planets that Logandao encountered along the way were the painful specimens that were forced to complete the completion, indicating the cold warning of the universe. In fact, even the interstellar fleet that Logandao encountered at the beginning had its home planet destroyed by the cosmic monster. As a result, they became exiles among the stars and had to go to a new home...

At the end, this document also recorded one thing, that is, these countless monster sieges are actually a test. Anyone who can survive the test to the end will be qualified to become an apostle of the "Akasha Record"...

……

"So, you are the 'Apostles'?"

Looking at the huge fleet in front of him, the flag engraved with the ancient emblem of a seven-eyed inverted triangle, and a black EVA holding a bloody spiral spear, Luo Gandao's desire to complain was about to burst out.

And when Luo Gandao really saw that the pilot of the machine on the other side of the screen was actually a white-haired boy, whose face was exactly the same as the thirteenth angel Kaworu Nagisa in EVA, he finally couldn't help but complain: "Damn, it turned out to be this 'old friend'... When I saw the space monster, I thought the space version of the tyrant had finally evolved!"

It's no wonder that Luo Gandao had such an association. Compared to the tyrant he had fought against for a long time and had been improved by Chu Xuan to countless generations, the memory of the EVA work was almost a thing of the last era. When he suddenly saw it at this moment, Luo Gandao actually had a rather fresh feeling.

"People from outside this world, you have two choices."

Of course, the "Kaoru Nagisa" on the other side of the screen naturally couldn't hear Luo Gandao's complaints: "First, join SEELE and become one of us on your own initiative; second, be assimilated by us after resisting and become one of us..."

As he spoke, several more EVAs flew out from the formation. A total of thirteen black machines raised their giant guns made of "infinite power" and pointed them directly at Grungast and the Mecha Hunter Corps. In the data of the annihilated civilization, this "Akasha Record" was personally bestowed on the apostles. It was a super energy manifested by the rules of the universe. While it was an endless source of energy, it also represented a certain concept and will...

The gathering of thirteen apostles has a clear meaning: surrender or die!
"Damn, even SEELE is out, it's really EVA..."

Seeing the powerful energy fluctuations on the other side that could not be faked under the direct support of the world's will, Luo Gandao rubbed his hands and said, "Very good, I have confirmed that your world is definitely a mixture of EVA's worldview... or is it a possibility after countless years of development of the EVA world?"

"But I only have one answer."

The flickering flames burned fiercely on Grungast's body, symbolizing Logando's answer. He held the Dragon King's Mountain-Breaking Sword tightly in one hand and pointed it directly at the enemy in front of him.

"Who cares about EVA, SEELE, or Apostle..."

"My Soul of Steel and I will never lose!" (End of this chapter)
