Origin Paradise!

Early December, Year 265 of the Divine Calendar.

The rebel army captured Greenwood City in the North, the King of the Wild Hunt killed the First Princess, and after the fall of seven Calamity Angels, the bounty on this legendary assassin rose to second place.

In the capital, Golden Castle fell into a tense silence.

Inside the Golden Hall, the First Prince, who oversaw all the affairs of the empire, remained expressionless, but the members of the Imperial Council could clearly sense his rage.

"What is the Pope's attitude?" the First Prince asked.

The Prime Minister replied, "The Pope said that he is currently holding a religious ceremony to honor angels and is not available to travel to the North at the moment."

boom!

The First Prince smashed his wine glass and roared, "Excuses! They're all just excuses!"

No one answered. After all, it was clear to everyone that the Pope was determined to stay in the capital. The capital was the stronghold of the Catholic Church, and the flow of people coming and going would carry the faith to various places.

From within the Royal Guard, the new King's Sword spoke coldly: "Your Highness, His Majesty and Duke Vigrid have discussed the marriage between the Third Prince and a woman from the Medici family."

The First Prince's expression changed slightly.

Vigli de' Medici, the current Duke of the Central Province and the head of the ten cardinals of the Conqueror's Church, is a family whose power is second only to the royal family. In the early stages of the Pantheon, the royal family was also a believer of the Conquerors.

The northern city of Green Forest has fallen.

Through this marriage alliance, the emperor simultaneously expressed his dissatisfaction with both the first prince and the Heavenly Father Church. The third prince would then be qualified to be the first prince's rival, which served as a form of punishment.

In the conflict between the Church of the Father and the Church of the Ten Gods, the Church of Conquest, which symbolizes war, is undoubtedly the leader of the latter and has always borne most of the pressure. With this marriage alliance, the Church of the Ten Gods will have a chance to breathe. The Pope's refusal to go to the North will naturally come at a price.

The first prince looked gloomy.

The upheaval in the North has severely impacted his position, and defeating the Third Prince's faction will require a tremendous amount of effort.

“Send someone to write a letter and ask the Sun King about his attitude.”

The Prime Minister stepped forward and said, "The Hydra is forbidden from entering the Empire."

All parties have maintained a tacit understanding on this matter.

The First Prince rubbed his temples, saying with a headache, "I know the Sun King needs to fulfill his duties, but we must guard against the Sea Serpent Island. On behalf of the Royal Family, I appoint Eleanor Augusta as Governor of the North and Rhine Augustus as Marquis. I will also allocate funds to expedite the construction of the coastal rock fortress."

The Prime Minister added, "The Governor of the North is no different from a Duke. The Marquis of Rhine must come to the capital. The Greenwood family cannot be destroyed."

The First Prince said angrily, "Then who will stop the Sun King?"

The Prime Minister said calmly, "It is impossible for the Sun King to emerge unscathed from a battle with the King of the Wild Hunt."

The important figures exchanged bewildered glances. The Sun King had demonstrated his power to control the heavens and earth during the Battle of the Sea, and was indeed qualified to restrain the King of the Wild Hunt. However, judging from the Prime Minister's words, the plan was to have both of them perish together.

The First Prince pondered for a moment and said, "Do as the Prime Minister wishes."

Despite the opposition of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Imperial Council passed the relevant order. In the North, only the Augusta family, who are fighting bravely on Serpent Island, can fill the power vacuum. The death of Duke Felix has led to a series of malign changes.

……

a few days later.

The northern fortress city, the governor's castle.

Today is the legendary day of the "storm's" birth. The city official of Rock Keep, Lemon, sent a truckload of lemon cakes, but unfortunately, Eleanor didn't have time to taste them. As the temporary governor of the North, she was so busy that she didn't even have time to enjoy them with someone.

"The Sun King is crossing the sea. Hopefully, he won't pass through Augusta Territory. He is representing the Empire to retake Green Forest City alone, and there will probably be a great battle with the King of the Wild Hunt."

Eleanor frowned. Both of the holders of the title of king were her greatest threats.

"Fortunately, I still have Rhine with me."

Eleanor glanced at the young man lying on the balcony, a gentle smile appearing on her exquisite and beautiful face. The Governor of the North had obtained it in an unexpected way. She had fulfilled the old Marquis's last wish and had not violated chivalry.

In the study, a young girl in white brought over chilled Divine Blood Wine. Jiang He spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and took the wine to rinse her mouth.

After the battle of Green Forest City, he completed the first main quest and could claim the Origin reward. As for coughing up blood, it was just an old problem of the Authority of Power, which could be solved by occasionally running the final time loop.

"Six times the speed of elite heroes."

Jiang He extended his left hand with lightning speed. The God Hunter, which integrates all speed abilities, has now surpassed the old swordsman's transformation into sword light, and its ranged attacks have been significantly enhanced.

Seeing Jiang He reach out, Zhuang Ya obediently pressed her face against his palm, her golden vertical pupils staring unblinkingly ahead.

"Big snake."

Jiang He casually said, "The fighting force left behind in the Northern Border is sufficient, and there is also the old swordsman puppet. You will come with me to the capital tomorrow morning, but I don't expect to be assigned any easy tasks."

"Okay." A hint of joy flashed in Zhuang Ya's eyes.

Click!

Eleanor accidentally broke the quill pen in her hand. She took a few deep breaths and laughed, "Why don't I go to the capital too? Rhine, you're not planning to find a lover behind my back, are you?"

Jiang He turned around, her eyes flickering, and said, "Will the Storm Church let you leave? Besides, I already have a lover."

"What!" Eleanor turned pale.

Jiang He heard the notification sound, Zhuang Ya shook her head and sighed softly, pointing her little finger at Eleanor herself.

"To avoid attracting the covetousness of powerful indigenous forces, or has the Inquisition discovered the source of the old swordsman's injuries?"

Jiang He couldn't help but ponder. If it weren't for the Sin Hunter's divination immunity, he would have been exposed the moment he killed the old swordsman. But it was undeniable that the Heavenly Father Cult was very powerful and might have uncovered some minor details.

"It might be exposed."

“But before that, I’ll just become the presiding judge.”

Jiang He used his attribute points and skill points.

[Constitution: 61+2→63+2]

[Spear Master: LV25→LV27, deals 556% additional damage and 556% additional soul damage when using spear-type weapons...]

……

"It's over!"

Meanwhile, in Green Forest City.

The dark clouds dispersed, and the heavy snow melted away.

A dazzling golden sun fell from the sky, and the city walls and buildings began to melt. Large numbers of Restoration Army soldiers spontaneously combusted like torches. The whole city was filled with terror, and some great knights even stood still, staring blankly at the sky and muttering to themselves.

—The Sun King has arrived.

Suddenly, countless spatial fragments danced like a storm, and mirror-like rhombuses refracted the blazing sunlight. A figure shot into the sky with overwhelming momentum.

"Lord Wild Hunt!"

"We must win, King of the Wild Hunt!"

"Your Excellency, I beg you." Bishop Athena prayed instinctively twice. The gold coins and supplies provided by the Holy War Army, as well as the Green Forest family's property looted by the Restoration Army, were all on Wild Hunt for easy storage. If he died, the consequences would be unimaginable.

High in the sky, the Sun God Sword and the Sky Purgatory clashed, and a violent torrent of energy swept in all directions. The knights of the two main knight orders trembled in fear. The clash between the two top-level holy domains was terrifying even from the aftershocks.

In an instant, the Black Sun Heaven and Earth and the Space Heaven and Earth rose up.

The two powerful figures disappeared, but occasionally extreme fluctuations could be seen emanating from both inside and outside the battlefield.

Amid the chaotic crowd on the ground, a middle-aged archbishop leaned against the door, looking up at the scene. He kept stroking the black veil in his hand, his expression both tense and excited.

As a member of the Imperial Assassination Squad, Mollefi possesses a unique talent: when his great deeds and heroic armor erupt together, he can unleash a speed that is almost beyond the Saint-level for a short period of time, at the cost of exhaustion afterward.

As for the black veil in her hand, it is the Curtain of Darkness, one of the sacred weapons, originating from the Sun Dynasty before the Age of Gods.

In the time before the rise of the Heavenly Father and the conquest, the various peoples on earth worshipped the sun and established a multi-ethnic united kingdom, with different groups successively serving as royalty.

But this period of peace was short-lived. Greed for supreme power ignited a war, and the "Sun" began to erode the mystical realms of war and conquest, the father of all living beings, earthly storms, the fate of all beings, and whispers in one's ear, intending to unify faith through a war in the heavens.

However, the endless strife in the mortal world for a century made all spirits weary. During the era of "dual rule" between the Sun Pope and the Sun Royal Family, the former abandoned the faith in the sun. Under the guidance of the gods, this pope gained special powers and became the Night Witch.

Destroy the Sun Royal Family and crush the United Kingdom.

The existence of the Night Witch angered the Sun. The gods descended to earth and killed the Night Witch, but they themselves were also severely injured, thus losing their position as the head of the gods.

Around the beginning of the Pantheon, it was an era of conquest.

The gods have now passed through the ages; this is the age of the Heavenly Father.

Throughout history, every god has shone brightly in an era, including the fallen Dragon King, who is the source of the dragon family's bloodline. However, the latter grew to the point of being out of control, and it would have been difficult for the god to fall to the mortal world if not for the unprecedented "storm".

The Veil of No Light is the legacy of the Night Witch, which once blinded the "Sun" and drove him mad.

"It's also a weapon specifically designed to target the sun." Mollefi gripped the black veil tightly. The Prime Minister's trump card against the Church of the Sun had now been handed over to him. This showed the extent of his trust and reliance on him.

High in the sky, the Sun King and the King of the Wild Hunt fought fiercely for a long time.

Intense light shone from the heavens and earth, but its power was waning. Molleffy keenly seized the opportunity, unleashing his ultimate speed, and soared into the sky.

Whoosh!

Mollefi rushed into the Black Sun and the Space World. Unexpectedly, his stealth techniques, which were originally designed to target the world, were not needed, and someone let him in.

"Which side is in a losing position and needs me to break the deadlock? How naive. According to the Father's oracle, the King of the Wild Hunt may have mastered the authority of space, but as a fellow Holy Domain, as long as the Veil of No Light makes the Sun King fight to the death, he can definitely be seriously injured."

Molefi's mind raced. At this moment, no one could guide him; he had to make his own judgment and decision.

But the moment he entered the world, Mollefi's eyes widened, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets. The intense shock almost overwhelmed his reason. He trembled violently and stared in disbelief at the two top-tier Saints sitting opposite each other in the raging torrent of intersecting sunlight and space, as if playing a game of chess.

"How can it be!"

"Whose illusion magic is this!"

Molleff was heartbroken.

Jiang He glanced to the side, her attention falling on the lightless curtain, which possessed a peculiar polluting quality.

"Something interesting."

"But let's kill them first and talk about it later."

boom!

The surrounding space was confined, and the sun's true flames scorched his body and soul.

The past and future knights joining forces is a privilege reserved for powerhouses of equal strength.

It's just a blink of an eye.
