Origin Paradise!

Following the incident, obituaries were issued to the victims, and an extraordinary expanded meeting of the Fortress Council was convened.

That afternoon, the governor submitted his resignation to Parliament and moved into the Fortress Villa in Queens, ostensibly for detention, but in reality for political asylum.

The relevant person in charge, the head of the National Security Agency, was dismissed and imprisoned.

12 month 2 day.

A mutiny broke out in the Ninth Army, and the council chairman, Kenzane, led his headquarters to suppress it.

The Tu family, who survived this upheaval, submitted a bill to the council—"Application for the Establishment of a District Council."

To prevent similar incidents from happening again and to strengthen searches for rebel groups such as the Fallen Faith Society in various districts, the bill was voted on by 36 members and delegates and passed smoothly.

Thanks to the Security Director's tireless efforts on the night of the incident, the situation was effectively contained, and Parliament passed a decision to acquit the Security Director in a retrial, and he was immediately appointed Chief Minister.

For his meritorious service in the capture, Jiang He, the Deputy Director of Logistics of the Security Bureau, was promoted to Director of the Security Bureau, a member of the Fortress Council, and the Commander of the First Division of the First Army of the Ninth Army Group.

Because of his effective support in the suppression of the mutiny, the commander of the Second Army was appointed as the commander-in-chief, the former commander of the First Division was to be appointed as the commander of the Second Army, and Tu Jiazhu was appointed as the commander of the First Army.

……

December 3, Wenshi District Library.

In two days, Jiang He looted all the books here. On the surface, he burned them, but in reality, he stuffed them all into his personal sanctuary. This caused a great deal of discussion outside, and he directly announced that the enemy had used books to attack.

"Those below the Silver rank don't understand, and those below the Silver rank don't care. You really know how to fool people."

In the empty library, Lilith sat by the window and turned to a page of an illusory book. In the dim light, the contours of her face appeared even more delicate.

"how did you do it."

Across the table, Jiang He was unusually curious. He had simply stuffed all the books into his portable sanctuary, yet the other party was able to use it to create phantom images of the books to look through.

Lilith rolled her eyes slightly. "Knowledge is priceless, and there's no reason for me to answer your questions."

Jiang He simply stopped paying attention. Even if the other party was researching how to escape, he couldn't tell. Refusing to cooperate would be like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. The fundamental solution was to become stronger quickly, so fast that the other party couldn't keep up with his plans, only then would he have a chance of winning.

He has now reaped the benefits of the successful rebellion.

The Director of the Security Bureau, who oversees more than 20,000 agents, wields immense power within the closed fortress, akin to the second-in-command of the governing body. However, due to the disruption of the original plan, Deputy Director Hongxiu failed to take office, and her attitude has now turned hostile. Moreover, most agents at all levels are in a wait-and-see mode, which is related to her lack of any foundation within the Security Bureau.

The fortress councilor is somewhat useful, but not very useful.

The commander of the First Division of the First Army Group, which has 10,000 men under his command, is directly under the head of the Tu family. The commander of the Second Division is Tu Er, the commander of the Third Division is She Tou, the commander of the Fourth Division is Hong Xiu, and the Fifth Division is Tu's direct subordinate.

Jiang He closed his eyes to rest, not discussing whether the overlap of powers between the Security Bureau and the Army Group was reasonable. Just by looking at the fact that all five division commanders were Mr. A's men, he knew there was a big problem. The Army Group only had four corps in total, and these five men accounted for a quarter of them.

Chapter 230 Gluttony

The cultural and historical area includes the large library.

Unlike the illusory book in Lilith's hand, Jiang He had a pile of miscellaneous things in front of her.

The 24 Crimson Cards obtained after wiping out the Xiaochen Guild, along with 20 rare items that guild members hadn't had time to collect during the battle, were destroyed by the Twelve Wolf Smoke Guns.

Next up is the ultimate defense model presented by Consultant Gu – the Alloy Iron-Eating Beast Pocket Edition, along with an Origin Savings Card containing 3934 game coins.

Finally, there is the Youth Association President's main weapon, a fine-grade fire-attribute magic staff, made from the blood crystal of a superior wild beast, the Fire Serpent, which was transferred from logistics by the Director of Security.

A rebellion brings benefits beyond just power; it can also significantly increase one's strength.

Just as Jiang He was about to start digesting the food, Lilith, without looking up, spoke from across the table:

Do you feel you've reached the pinnacle of the Bronze Age?

Jiang He said calmly, "There are always mountains beyond mountains."

Lilith smiled upon hearing this, "There's no need to be modest with me. You are indeed far beyond the level of the great powers of this era. Becoming a great power is something that even we gods would consider worthy of being called a chosen one. But for you, this is far from your limit."

"I'm all ears," Jiang He said. The other party was a senior on the path to transcendence, and he wouldn't refuse simply because of stereotypes.

Lilith closed the book, looked up and stared directly into his eyes, leaving him no way to avoid her gaze; her voice remained soft.

"The great powers, in a rough sense, refer to all the strong individuals. They possess outstanding talent and have absolute dominance over ordinary extraordinary individuals of their time. They are very rare, but given the sheer number of them, they are not exactly unique."

"There are also gaps among the great powers, or rather, there is a level above the great powers. The great powers are vying for hegemony, so the boundless void is used to calling them hegemons. To put it another way, the relationship between the two is similar to the relationship between a strong country and a superpower in your impression. Often, a superpower can take on multiple strong countries at once, and can even annihilate them quickly."

Lilith stated bluntly, "I observed your battle and discovered a significant problem: you are unable to mobilize your full strength and resources. Your abilities and items are disorganized. This is understandable for other powerful nations, but you are Gluttony, the only Beelzebub with the title, and a lone traveler on the same path before your own death. You still have ample room for improvement."

Jiang He calmly said, "You mean using the Gluttony Fusion skill and items, right? But I can't do that for now. Right now, Gluttony can only extract factors from extraordinary creatures to create rare-level passives."

"Therefore, behind every successful hegemon, there is a teacher to help and guide them."

Lilith laughed and said, "It's normal that you can't do it. Your rank is barely silver, and you're still a long way from becoming the incarnation of Gluttony. But I can do it for you. Right now, I can't unleash the same power as I did at my peak when I control Gluttony, but my divine rank is still there. The effect at the ordinary authority level is no problem at all. That's why I wanted to obtain your body and foundation before."

Even on the verge of destruction, the gods remain powerful, possessing all sorts of incredible abilities.

"How do we do it?" Jiang He asked.

Lilith was slightly surprised. "You're surprisingly agreeable. Aren't you afraid of having your body taken over this time?"

"I guess it won't be this time." Jiang He picked up the world invitation. It was obvious that the other party wanted him to go to this world next time. If nothing unexpected happened, the other side should be Lilith's hometown before she rose to power. Without being a creature from the source land, killing players would not grant him the qualification. He still had unique value to be used.

Lilith laughed and said, "The line between intelligence and arrogance is not easy to draw. I can use Gluttony to gradually become stronger and then cross the void to find my homeland."

“I just thought you wouldn’t be doing this for no reason. You’re a princess, you should know that there’s no kingdom that never ends.” Jiang He put the invitation into her equipment inventory.

"Then let's begin," Lilith said expressionlessly.

Jiang He heard the "Unknown life form application" notification in the Origin prompt. After agreeing, he instantly arrived on the cross in the dark icy sea, taking the place of the original prisoner.

In the window seat of the Great Library, Lilith's projection merged with the host.

"How should we begin?"

Lilith picked up the Alloy Iron-Eating Beast and enhanced the Energy Armor skill by analyzing the perfect-grade model structure. In fact, she knew of a more powerful armor model, but without the physical object, even if she pushed the host's internal energy and self-control to the limit, she could not create it out of thin air.

A few minutes later, the appearance of the Sword Scale Snail Dragon Armor changed dramatically, reaching the same level as the Ultimate Defense Model.

"The Ultimate attribute, I remember, corresponds to the Gold tier above Extreme and Perfect, right?"

[Note: Your Overlord has arrived (each activation consumes 200 energy points)]

"Next is the eyes."

Lilith activated the power of Gluttony, and all five abilities—Eagle Eye, Snake Eye, Eye of Truth, Eye of the Beast, and the title "Gun-Suppressing Dragon City" that could provide three-dimensional graphics—disappeared one by one, all being devoured by Gluttony and ultimately transformed into nutrients to shape the whole.

[Name: All-Seeing Eye]

[Category: Passive Skill]

[Quality: Perfect]

[Effect: Everything is visible within a 3,000-meter radius]

[Note: This is the eye of the Overlord]

"What's the use of hoarding three guns when you have so much junk?"

Lilith glanced at her portable sanctuary, then took out three gun props: Crimson Baptism, Roaring Barrett, and Whale Song. She controlled someone's body and directly opened her mouth to devour the guns.

"The taste is so-so."

After devouring everything, Lilith used the power of Gluttony to digest the three rare-level shooting abilities: Shockwave, Deadly Strike, and Rapid Fire.

Do you remember what abilities you have?

The three guns and three shooting abilities are combined.

[Name: Fatal Strike]

[Effect ②: Hundred Arts - Provides an additional 50% armor shatter damage/50% flight speed/25% concussion damage/20% kinetic energy enhancement]

"Then comes the body."

Lilith continued to unleash the power of gluttony, pulling out a pile of rubbish to gnaw on as an extra meal.

Extremely effective self-healing.

Rare Tier: Tiger Bone Gold Power, Holy Iron External Skill, Lionheart King Gauntlets, Lionheart King Helmet, Lionheart King Shoulder Armor, Flood Dragon Scale Armor, Unending Windbreaker, Regretful Military Boots, Black Ridge Military Pants, Free Bird Ring, Passive - Leopard's Agility, Passive - Rock Sheep's Leap, Passive - Toad's Digestion, Title - One Man Stands Guard.

……

Another binge-eating fusion.

Lilith directly abandoned the excellent-grade Withered Glory Temple, and combined the Lesser Withered Sword Finger, the Greater Glory Fist, and the Withered Glory Secret Technique to push the energy properties of Withered to the perfect grade.

[Perfect Wither LV50: Deals 60% additional Wither damage]

Let's press on with this momentum.

Lilith activated her ability, looking slightly tired.

Thorn Hand + Ancient Plant Library = Rare Plant Mastery.

She consumed the blood crystal of a superior wild beast, enabling someone to successfully break through to become a superior superhuman.

All attributes +1

Fireball + Ember + Fire Shape + Flame Ant Jade = Excellent Flame Control.

Disguise brooch + Gentleman's Lens = Rare Transformation Technique

Chapter 231 Overlord

[Hint: You have obtained the Perfect-level title: Overlord (Bronze Age), which increases all attributes by 10%]

"The next stage of the enhancement is up to you."

In the Great Library, Lilith's projection detached from its host and returned to the opposite side. She left behind a bright red ring, crafted from the Camel's Pouch, the Fly Ring, the Cold Fang Dagger, the Vermilion Mirror, the Heartless Death Curse, and two knight titles.

Jiang He returned to his body and opened the player panel.
