Origin Paradise!

To the Cardinal, such an instant kill of a Gold-level expert was completely unimaginable. If the opponent hadn't been so careless at the time, he would have definitely repeated the same mistake.

“Amber Ash, in terms of speed, defense, and offense, surpasses the strongest tier in every aspect, given the right conditions.” The Vice-Pope replied, stroking the hilt of his sword. “The Pope’s order is to surround him and wait for him and the other strongest to arrive.”

The cardinal relaxed slightly upon hearing this. He turned and surveyed the mountains, where hundreds of thousands of silver-rank knights of redemption covered the landscape. The empire had fifty main cities, each garrisoned with 30,000 Iron Legion soldiers. Compared to conventional military forces, the Holy Kingdom was in no way inferior.

The next moment, towards the Cathedral of Atonement.

A thick beam of light shot into the sky, piercing through the gloomy clouds, and released countless rays of light from its tip, which fell toward the horizon, looking like a prison from a distance.

"What is that?!" the cardinal exclaimed nervously.

The deputy pope silently drew his sword.

"It's not going to be a fireworks display anyway, let's prepare for battle."

……

The Cathedral of Atonement.

Broken walls and ruins, a scene of chaos.

The distant clock tower echoed with melodious notes, and the curfew bells of nine o'clock at night quickly swept outwards.

Jiang He emerged from the ground, his body covered in rugged and terrifying black armor. Wisps of black mist swirled around him, and the energy-based armor plates shimmered with metallic luster. The silver spear in his hand hummed continuously, its dark red patterns trembling incessantly. After advancing to the Epic level, his Dragon Soul gradually grew stronger, as if celebrating its rebirth.

The notification sound in my ear faded away.

Jiang He sat by the fountain in front of the church, drinking alone. All his allies had entered his personal imperial city, so he could act freely without any scruples. As for the punishment of the main quest, it didn't really matter. If he couldn't kill all the sin sorcerers, his own fate would be death, and there was no doubt about that.

Suddenly, the distant mountains lit up.

This is not an illusion; the surging sin energy has almost materialized.

"Lawful Spell - Judgment!" Vice-Pope Francis swung his sword forward.

The cardinal, like an orchestra conductor, deftly flipped his hands in mid-air, causing hundreds of thousands of silver sorcerers to unleash spells together.

Because they lack the ability to combine spells effectively, the spells are only at the level of "Undying". However, thanks to the rich resources of the theocracy, the number of spells is astonishing, totaling forty-two.

In an instant, the mountains transformed into giant turrets.

Forty-two beams of light, as thick as city gates, struck, and the aftershocks alone destroyed all the buildings along their path.

boom!

The area surrounding the Cathedral of Atonement, spanning tens of thousands of meters, was completely destroyed. The overflowing light lingered in the shadows, and the once magnificent and solemn building vanished completely from this era.

At the center of the giant crater, Jiang He remained calm. His Overlord Armor shattered inch by inch, then reappeared. The Martial Saint Body's Undying-level spell immunity exempted him from most of the damage, but it turned out that this was not an absolute defense. When facing the Lust spell before, because its essence was domination, the immunity effect was reduced to a pitiful level.

call!

Jiang He activated the Eternal Night Hunter and disappeared from the spot.

The maximum limit of 10,000 meters was activated five times in a row, consuming a total of 500 energy points under the space reduction effect of Night Hunt.

In the blink of an eye.

Jiang He arrived at the highest peak of the Redemption Mountain.

The Silver Knights had not yet sensed the figure appearing, but their offensive and killing intent had already enveloped the entire mountain.

Extreme speed means an overwhelming advantage in attack.

The cardinal could barely see a flash of silver light magnify before his eyes, but he had no time to control his mind and body. The indescribable sharpness instantly shattered his defenses, the edge cutting through skin, flesh, and bones, and finally penetrating his soul to destroy everything.

Bang!

The cardinal turned into fireworks and exploded.

Despite being dozens of miles apart, the enemy accomplished a swift and decisive kill, causing the twenty-odd golden figures watching the battlefield to pale in shock.

"Go to hell!"

The Vice-Pope, who was standing close by, roared and slashed out with his Heart Image Armament: Plague Blade. The dark green Undying Plague Poison on the three-foot-long blade was thick and liquid-like. The domain technique, Slender Blade, adhered to the surface of the long blade in a thin form, giving the plague poison the maximum enhancement.

clang!

The silver spear struck first, the dark green longsword shattering almost before the collision. Without hesitation, the spearhead slammed into the vice-pope's forehead, the four epic attack effects merging into one, instantly taking his life.

Click!

The realm is broken.

The cardinal and the vicar general returned from the brink of death, only to be met with a cold and desperate barrage of gunfire, the severe injuries of which claimed their lives once more.

Jiang He casually flicked his wrist, and blood dripped from the gun blade.

Only now did the Golden Sorcerers truly realize that their main force had fallen.

Three of the Holy Descendants chose to flee, while the others charged forward and unleashed their domains. During the fusion and confrontation phase, the overall scale and quality of many domains increased dramatically, appearing from a distance like a massive mountain crashing down.

"Go together!"

"Fight to the death!"

"Defend the capital!"

Jiang He stretched out his hand, unleashing his extraordinary power. A black sun rose up, swallowing all the surrounding light. The faint light revealed a solemn outline at the edge, and the air began to fluctuate violently, forming a black vortex that sucked up the heavens and earth. In the capital of the theological kingdom, the old-era skyscrapers collapsed and flew into the sky.

A tsunami-like black light swept out, forcefully striking the combined domain of the gold-clad beings head-on, causing countless pure energy arcs to flash continuously among the mountains.

Boom!

In a matter of moments, the united front collapsed.

With the power of one person destroying more than twenty domains, the fighting spirit of the golden beings immediately collapsed. Some turned around and left, wishing they could surpass the three holy descendants who had retreated first. However, the speed at which the black light spread was too fast, and in the blink of an eye, it swallowed everyone up.

The twenty-odd gold pieces transformed into nourishment, and Jiang He's Black Sun Domain range increased by two hundred meters. His extraordinary burst level reached Epic LV5. After surpassing the Golden Age, the upgrade required was extremely large, and theoretically only heroes could bring about significant enhancements.

Suddenly, a gray downpour began.

Jiang He stood atop the Redemption Mountain and saw the old man in a long robe on the opposite mountain peak. The man held a scepter and had a calm gaze. This pope had left the empire long before the war in the Holy City ended.

On the other side, Marquis Tommen, his eyes bloodshot, held a black spear. The extraction tower barely satisfied his greedy desires, but it was merely a case of drinking poison to quench thirst.

"As expected, it was you who caused this commotion." Marquis Tommen looked up at the horizon. "This world is not a birdcage in your hands."

"Ending the era of sinful arts is also your and Ramanf's ideal," Jiang He said casually, "It's just that the methods are a bit crude."

Marquis Tommen sneered, "Ending the Abyss Ghosts is not about burying an entire era. We are fundamentally different from madmen like you."

Behind Marquis Tomman, the face of the Greedy Abyss Demon opened its eyes. When this world-destroying Abyss Demon was fully revived within his body, the Abyss Sorcerer's fall from grace was irreversible. The future could still be entrusted to Ramanf, but an unforgivable villain like Amber had to be killed at all costs.

Whoosh!

Marquis Tommen disappeared.

The black spearhead loomed large before her eyes. Jiang He calmly turned her head to dodge, then immediately fired a shot with her backhand.

Marquis Tomman activated spatial teleportation once again, continuously. Black spear light burst forth repeatedly at the summit of Redemption Mountain. Due to its density and frequency, it seemed to form a black curtain, completely enveloping the enemy.

Jiang He calmly responded to the offensive, his own extreme speed and the Dragon Spear's Swift Kill effect giving him a higher strike density, the silver arc gradually overpowering the black spear light.

Boom!

Marquis Toman retreated and disappeared with a look of apprehension in his eyes.

The moment the two spears separated, the summit of Redemption Mountain suddenly cracked open, countless fissures spreading downwards, the overflowing spear energy shredding rocks and trees, and dust billowing up.

At that moment, the Pope had finished gathering his strength.

A gray raindrop shot out from the top of the scepter, as if crossing space, and accurately hit Jiang He's left chest.

—Tears of the Erosion Realm.

As the raindrops merged into the body, the first drop of gray rain hidden within seemed to be awakened, and the irreversible fall occurred. A series of notification sounds rang out, and all the power related to sin magic obtained from the Ash World was sealed by the source for 24 hours.

Jiang He leaped back after stepping on the ground. The seal only needed one revival to be broken. The most critical issue was the corruption of his physical body. The original time limit had been reduced to three or four hours. If he couldn't kill the Pope, even if he survived the world invasion operation, he would only be waiting to die when he returned.

Whoosh!

The black gun has reappeared.

Jiang He could even see the undisguised ferocity and madness on Marquis Toman's face. Two gun lights, one black and one silver, clashed fiercely in mid-air, and the booming sounds of their collision echoed outwards.

……

The wilderness outside the capital of the Theocracy.

One by one, the descendants of saints are rushing to the battlefield from afar.

"An unknown barrier is shrouding the world and is rapidly shrinking. It is now confirmed that this event was orchestrated by Amber Ashes, and the Theocracy, the Empire, and the End Society have sworn an alliance."

"The Marquis of Toman and the Pope are currently besieging Amber. The Abyss Gate is damaged. Speaker Ramanf has already set off. The President of the End and Lust are at the border between the two countries and are expected to arrive at the battlefield in a quarter of an hour."

"We must mobilize the empire's great nobles and legion commanders. This incident is a world-ending crisis, and no sin sorcerer can remain uninvolved."

Inside the temporary command post, important figures rarely seen on ordinary days sat upright, while the alchemical masterpiece, the Abyss Mirror, displayed live footage of the battle situation in the capital at the center of the round table.

A young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses sat at the head of the table, reporting on the situation. He was dressed in beach shorts and flip-flops, and the sunburn marks on his skin still seemed to retain warmth. At this moment, golden light kept flashing on his body, a sign that he was ascending to the Gold level.

"Let me introduce myself," the young man said solemnly. "You can call me the Prophet of Fate. I come from the End World. There's no need to explain the specifics right now. As you can see, I'm currently in the process of advancing from the Silver Age to the Golden Age. In fact, about a thousand beings stuck at the Silver Limit have already arrived. We have only one goal: to kill Amber Ashes."

The vice-speaker, the cardinal, and others exchanged bewildered glances. If Speaker Ramanf hadn't guaranteed with his life, none of them would have agreed to hand over command to this freak of unknown origin.

The Prophet looked around and nodded slightly. Back when the war for the Holy City broke out, the Origin Invaders had inevitably been completely exposed. The process can be summarized as follows: the Final Battlefield was preparing to send a special quest to the rising star according to the program, but after repeated runs, it was found that there was no such person at all.

The identity of Gluttony, a sin of great sin, has been exposed. The Church of Temperance has released information publicly. In order to stifle Gluttony's growth and protect the talent training base, All Beings and the End have issued a conscription order to their high-ranking players.

This high-ranking player is considered a big shot in the boundless void. He occupies one of the relatively large ones among the thousands of subordinate worlds of the End World. He himself cannot enter the Ash World, but his large group of creatures can.

For outstanding beings from different eras, there are specialized assassination and interception services in the boundless void. The descending horde of thousands is such a service, similar in nature to someone's vicious guards.

The prophet withdrew his gaze and said solemnly, "According to the prophecy, Amber Ash's real name is Moke. He possesses an ability called the Möbius Final Time Ring, which gives him three opportunities each day to completely refresh his own state."

Regarding the concept of refresh, the Prophet of Fate gave an explanation, leaving the Vice Speaker and others speechless.

“The worst part is that this ability takes effect every day.” The Prophet glanced at his watch and sighed, “It’s 9:07 p.m. now. Even if he uses up all three chances, once it’s past midnight, we will still be facing him at his peak.”

"This ability...is nobody going to do anything about it!?"

"What kind of abyssal demon did he contract with?"

"Then what's the point of fighting? Six lives, are you expecting me to go in?!"

Suppressing his extreme pain, the prophet took out an epic scroll he had treasured for a long time and said, "No matter what, the war has begun. The strength of the Duel Wall means that we have nowhere to retreat. What does it matter if we have six lives? Let's take one down first."

Chapter 435 Death of Greed

The capital of the Theocracy.

A streak of light fell straight down from the sky, collapsing a tall building in the middle, sending rocks flying everywhere. A bloody hole appeared in Marquis Tomman's chest, the poison and sin causing him intense pain.

Jiang He stood atop the hill and thrust out his spear. The dark red spear light seemed to fall from the sky like a celestial river. The Dragon Spear Technique: Wolf Smoke Rises had been significantly enhanced after the Eternal Regret Dragon Spear was upgraded to Epic.

boom!

The area within a radius of 10,000 meters was devastated.

The confinement kept Marquis Tommen firmly bound to the spot.

The gunfire rained down, destroying his physical body and domain, until the core of the Abyss Domain collapsed.

Jiang He activated the Night Hunter and teleported forward.

In an instant, a petite girl suddenly appeared, immediately unleashing ten overlapping and superimposed Undying-level defensive spells.

Bang bang bang!
