Origin Paradise!

An energy hand, so large that its entirety could not be seen, materialized. Jiang He reached out and grasped it, but the Hand of Dawn clenched it tightly, crushing the giant elephant into a pulp as if it were a small pastry.

Wow!

Blood squeezed from the giant hand fell like rain.

Many players were stunned. A very few even recognized the technique of the Eternal Dark Empire's military, but this level of skill was something that even a Gold-ranked player could not possibly perform.

Whoosh!

The leader of the thieves suddenly appeared in front of the floor-to-ceiling window; he possessed remarkable spatial mobility.

The poisoned black dagger pierced the enemy, its tip aimed directly at the bone gap below the ear. The Assassination Master LV45 passive skill granted this strike a tricky and ferocious killing power.

Unfortunately, within a radius of ten meters, Jiang He could see everything clearly.

A holy angel wing extended out, countless white feathers with epic sharpness gleaming with cold light, like a giant sword slashing from bottom to top, severing the black dagger and the bandit leader at the same time, blood gushing out.

A golden skill, capable of annihilating with a mere flick of the wrist.

call!

The angel's wings swept forward, and feathers fell to earth like streams of light descending from heaven.

The feather shattered the defenses, sliced ​​through flesh and blood, and tore apart the domain, annihilating dozens of End Players in a single blow.

A final burst of flames and a barrage of white feathers destroyed the campus, leaving behind craters, cracks, and the severed limbs and remains of the dead. Amagi Tsubasa and Onoyama tried to escape in the chaos but perished in the aftershocks. The attack from the overlord was equally effective against both peak Gold Saints and ordinary Gold Saints.

Death spread uncontrollably.

A golden raven suddenly flew out of the lounge. When the epic skill "Yata" was activated, golden light burst forth. Combined with the equally epic ability "White Horse Passing Through the Gap", the speed reached its limit.

Whoosh!

The rabble severed the head of a tactical-level mage, which then flew back onto someone's shoulder.

"The power of Yatagarasu is only epic level?" Jiang He frowned.

Wuhe sighed, "Boss, it should have been immortal, but it exceeded my capacity. A lot of the power of the Yatagarasu has been lost, but this skill has the potential to grow in the future."

The extraordinary factors that a being can master in different eras are limited, not only in terms of skills, but also in terms of the tools they can control. Normal extraordinary beings do not need to consider these things, but the recent enhancements have clearly reached the upper limit of Moo-he's capacity. From a narrow perspective, capacity is to some extent equivalent to aptitude.

The three fundamental laws of the extraordinary include position, conservation, and capacity.

"What does 'Archangel's Wings' mean?"

"If the boss doesn't mind, let's trade it to Miss Kamishiro. I'm actually quite satisfied with the new ability."

"Think it through."

Jiang He flicked out with two fingers, and a long spatial line swept across, cutting twenty martial arts players who had reached at least the master level in half.

Before the surrounding players could even catch their breath, a tremendous force of devouring erupted. The legendary secret technique, Return to the Void, destroyed most of the campus and several city blocks, killing hundreds of players. All that remained was a huge crater, like a real meteorite had crashed down.

The battlefield was devastated, and despite the fact that the overlord did not launch any targeted attacks, very few players were still alive.

Wuhe was amazed. Only when you truly reach the limit do you understand how difficult it is to become a powerful life form. Even as a player with privileges and as a subordinate of the King of the Era, he still knew clearly that neither he nor Zhuang Ya had any hope of ascending to the level of a powerful life form in the present and the past three eras.

Wuhe glanced at someone's profile. Clearly, it wasn't Gluttony that chose the boss, but rather the boss who had taken a liking to Gluttony.

Whoosh!

A red figure suddenly attacked.

The Red Gentleman activated his golden state, his appearance becoming almost demonic, yet his figure was extremely ethereal, his ten fingers like hooks, swirling with a corrosive power.

—Ghostly Technique: Ten Fingers Take Life.

"The power of the supernatural world, huh?"

Jiang He ignored the soul-shaking aura emanating from the evil spirit. His own resistance had already exceeded his limits, and besides, the opponent's rank was far inferior. He casually threw a punch, and half of the operation building collapsed. The violent and pure torrent of force annihilated the Red Gentleman.

"You, you clean up the mess."

"clear."

Wuhe laughed loudly. The leader could tell that he was itching to fight, and the enemy had lost all fighting spirit, making it the perfect opportunity to crush the weak.

Swish!

The golden light soared into the sky, chasing after the remaining players.

The dozen or so Endless Players hurriedly fled. Challenging the Overlord would result in immediate death, while escaping would allow them to survive for a while longer. If they hadn't had no chance of winning, these golden beings who had survived countless annihilations along the way wouldn't have lost their fighting spirit.

……

Not long after, Jiang He heard the notification tone.

[Note: The Origin Coordinates have been activated. This is a Tier 3 coordinate, capable of teleporting beings of Tier 4 or lower.]

The flag, as tall as a person, stands high in the sky, yet seems to vanish into nothingness, impossible to touch.

[Executor's Exclusive Notice: You have obtained permission to switch between these three coordinate systems (ignoring world distance)]

[Hint: Main quest completed. You have obtained the Immortal-grade item - Archangel Wings *1]

With half of the operation building destroyed, Jiang He gently shook Zhuang Ya awake and contacted Lao Hei at the same time. After obtaining their consent, the animal companion's spatial teleportation was activated, and he now had three pairs of Archangel Wings items.

"Boss, I've captured a member of the secret legion!"

Outside the ruined walls, Wuhe brought back an old man. Not only this guy, but also at least a dozen spies, including werewolves and vampires, were secretly spying on the battle at the Magic Academy. Of course, their main target was the Colorless Monarch.

……

Tokyo Fortress at night.

An old but sturdy pickup truck drives down the street.

The widespread impact left few vehicles available around the Magic Academy, but fortunately, the rabble's intelligence capabilities were excellent, and they managed to acquire a temporary vehicle.

Mirai Kamishiro was driving, while Shoya leaned out the window, gazing at the seemingly lifeless streets of Tokyo.

Jiang He sat in the back seat, his long platinum-gold hair tied up with thorns. Above his head, three angel circles filled with holy light were arranged, and two pairs of huge white wings extended to his sides.

Refining one Archangel Wings allowed the Seraph skill to advance to Immortal, but the other two failed to break through to Sub-Legendary. His current rank is Immortal. Gluttony's internal enhancement ability has the same limit as his rank, but externally it is one rank lower.

"Unless it's a purely extraordinary factor like that heart."

Jiang He recalled the Heart of Kronos at the Holiday Inn, a benefit whose origins were almost blatantly obvious, and that was the only time it happened.

"Senior, there's still blood on the wings." Mirai Kamishiro remembered the angel wings she had obtained, which were covered in blood.

"It can't be that they killed him on the spot... right?" Wuhe was a little uncertain. That's the good thing about players; they'll happily start doing anything as soon as they're given a task. He figured high-ranking players were no exception; when they encountered resource-gathering or handing-in tasks, they basically didn't ask where the task was going.

“It’s not important,” Jiang He said.

[Hint: Main quest ⑤ has been released]

[Quest Name: The Skeletons of the Ancient Serpent God]

[Mission Requirement: Obtain the remains of the Ancient Serpent God (the Executor cannot process them at this stage)]

[Mission Notes: During the War of the Gods, the Wrathful Immortal fell into seclusion, and the ancient serpent god from beyond perished. The Wrathful Immortal left behind seven powerful swords to seal seven vital points of his mortal enemy. However, as the swords merge, the seals gradually dissipate, and the remains of the ancient serpent god are about to emerge. As the remains of a god, they contain immense value and remain invisible.]

[Quest Reward: Hunter Core Skill Exclusive Enhancement Scroll *1 (Epic)]

[Task Time Limit: 15 calendar days]

[Task Penalty: None]

[Note: The target exists in Tokyo Fortress]

Jiang He pondered to himself, this was probably what the First True Ancestor was waiting for. Based on past experience, the skeleton was expected to appear at the end of the mission's time limit, otherwise there would be no need to give him 15 days.

"Boss, are we still going to the secret legion's base?"

Behind the pickup truck, Wuhe also heard the mission notification. The old man from the secret legion had already fainted. He had extracted a lot of information from him, including the address of the base.

“There’s still plenty of time. After we go and see for ourselves, we can learn that the secret legion should know some top-secret information about hunting down the White Wolf King to awaken Old Black’s powers,” Jiang He said.

Wuhe flapped his wings to indicate that he understood. He would naturally cooperate unconditionally with his leader's decision. A moment later, a golden claw strike landed, and the legion elder awoke with the excruciating pain of losing his arm, only to be met with the second round of interrogation.

After a two-hour drive, the group arrived at the northern part of Tokyo Fortress, next to the destroyed Edogawa Ward.

Near the fortress walls, there was an ordinary office building.

Jiang He's eyes were pitch black as he activated the All-Encompassing Demon Eye, revealing the underground layout that resembled an anthill maze.

"Thirty-six tactical-level personnel, seventy-two military-level personnel, over nine hundred logistics personnel, and the super magic, the Magic Core."

Kamishiro Mirai, who was driving, was startled. Thirty-six tactical-level fighters, almost half of the high-level combat power of the nine clans, and the magic core was aimed at the Blue Monarch, a high-yield magic explosion corresponding to the magic-suppressing zone.

"If we were to fight, it seems unlikely that we could kill them all in one move."

Jiang He pondered for a moment, then pointed with one finger.

A spatial rift cleaved through the air, like an endless serpent plunging into the earth, leaving behind cracks that were difficult to heal.

The spatial slash advanced, precisely striking the deepest, heart-like core of magic.

In an instant, Mirai Kamishiro and the Legion Elder were so shaken that they almost forgot to breathe.

Boom!

In the suffocating atmosphere of fear, a blinding beam of light shattered the ground, accompanied by a muffled yet earth-shaking roar. A scorching shockwave, like a volcanic eruption, spread wildly from the office building.

Wherever it passed, skyscrapers collapsed like fragile building blocks, and a huge mushroom cloud quickly formed in the sky, turning the entire city into a wasteland.

"Does it have this range even without charging?"

Jiang He raised her hand, and the spatial turbulence protected the pickup truck in the middle.

The destructive power and range of the magic core are very strong, but because it is not activated by living beings, the peak energy and concentration are even less than those of bronze skills. Being located on the ground and not a detonation point, they only need to withstand far less than one percent of the explosive impact. This is a regional super magic that is designed to suppress magic.

After a while, the fluctuations subsided.

Jiang He snapped his fingers, and the power of time restored the secret legion's base. As for the magicians in the underground sealed space, they were all completely destroyed.

"It's much easier now."

Mirai Kamishiro stepped on the gas and approached the office building.

"Hey, let the birds search."

"clear."

Jiang He closed his eyes and waited. Within its range, the All-Seeing Demon Eye could see everything, but precisely because of this, the amount of information was too great. Unless necessary, he was unwilling to use his divine thinking to analyze it. His own intelligence agents were professionals.

As intelligence gathered, Mohe conducted the first round of screening. Minor matters, such as high-ranking officials colluding with upper-class vampires or forming groups to sell human blood packs to the Blood Kingdom, were classified as top secret, but not worth reporting to anyone.

"Boss, do you want the information on the Magic Core?"

"It's fine to take a look."

"What is the weakness of the Grey Lord?"

"No need."

"A projected report on the continuation of the bloodline of Prince Coffin and Nine Nights in the future. Boss, Taiko is very interested in the army of experimental subjects."

The probability of the former is zero.

The archives of the fortress contain information on past monarchs and their relatives, the names and effects of various great spells, and all sorts of top secrets since the beginning of the apocalypse.

Finally, Wuhe stopped screening based on one photo.
