The organization I founded has been exposed by the reborn!

The night was deep in Yanjing City.

A black, extended, bulletproof Lincoln, like a lurking steel behemoth, drove smoothly on the ring road.

The atmosphere inside the carriage was solemn.

Cardinal John sat in a leather chair, holding a simple, antique-looking golden compass engraved with intricate angel wing patterns.

This is a sacred object personally bestowed by the Pope before the departure—the Compass of Holy Light.

It has an absolute ability to perceive the aura of light, and it is also the tool the Holy See used to locate the "Child of Light" during this trip to the East.

On either side of him, two bishops in purple robes were holding satellite-encrypted phones, constantly issuing search orders to the fanatical believers of the Vatican who had been lurking in the Dragon Kingdom for many years.

"Sir John."

After hanging up the phone, Bishop Jonard on the right turned around and respectfully handed a tablet to John, his voice trembling with excitement: "Our informant in Yanjing has just intercepted a video that the Eastern authorities are trying to block. This afternoon, a miracle occurred in the southern suburbs."

John took the tablet and clicked play.

Although the image was shaky and blurry, the phantom of the six-winged angel tearing through the clouds and wielding the holy sword of judgment was clearly visible. The divine pressure that transcended the mortal realm and cleansed all sins made the three clergymen in the car tremble and submit, even through the screen.

"Praise be to the holy light..."

John made the sign of the cross, his icy blue eyes blazing with extreme fervor and excitement: "His Holiness the Pope's great prophecy was not wrong! The Son of Light has indeed been born in this land of pagans! And he has already awakened!"

"My lord, the Great Baptism is coming soon."

Jonard clasped his hands together, his tone devout and fervent: "In three days, the gates of the abyss will be wide open, and this planet will face divine retribution. Our Holy See's Knights Templar and the Inquisition are fully assembled. If we can bring the Child of Light back to the Holy See before the cataclysm erupts, the glory of the Holy See will surely rule the entire new world!"

"No matter the cost, we must find him."

John put down the tablet, drew a silver dagger from his waist with his right hand, and without hesitation slashed his left palm.

The blood flowing from his palm was not pure crimson, but rather tinged with a faint golden hue.

This is a bloodline mutation resulting from the long-term bathing in holy water and receiving baptism of holy light by the high-ranking officials of the Vatican.

"Great Lord, please guide your lost sheep."

John recited obscure prayers as he dripped golden blood into the center of the Holy Light Compass.

"Buzz—!"

Having absorbed the blood, the compass surface instantly erupted with a dazzling platinum light. The pointer inside the compass emitted a high-frequency metallic vibration, and then began to spin wildly.

A few seconds later.

The pointer paused, then pointed precisely to the southern suburbs of Yanjing.

"Found it. Southern suburbs, underground pipe network." John's eyes gleamed with a mixture of murderous intent and fanaticism. "Notify the convoy to change direction. Any heretics who try to obstruct our arrival of the Holy Son, purify them on the spot!"

……

Meanwhile, inside the villa.

The sound of water in the bathroom had just stopped.

Su Yu changed into a set of dry home clothes and sat alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his second-floor bedroom.

The early autumn night breeze blew in through the half-open window, bringing a refreshing coolness and gently ruffling the stray hairs on his forehead.

With a slight thought, he brought up his personal attribute panel.

[Host: Su Yu]

Age: 22

[Constitution: 548 (Base 288 + Equipment Bonus 260)]

[Spirit: 472 (Base 312 + Equipment Bonus 160)]

[Current Items: Mythical Compendium (Mythical Grade), Communicator, Shielding Chip, Soul-Stealing Gong]

[Current Equipment: Clown Mask (Iron Grade), Illusory Cloak (Silver Grade), Sky-Walking Boots (Silver Grade), Azure Spear (Silver Grade), Torn Wraith Shroud (Gold Grade), Black Flame Wings (Gold Grade)]

[Current Abilities: Time Lag - Moment of Eternity (S-rank), Five Thunderbolts (A-rank), Golden Light Mantra (B-rank), Silhouette Kill (B-rank), Divine Sense Pressure (C-rank), Shadow Chains (C-rank), Devouring Abyss Coffin (E-rank), Mysterious Teleportation (F-rank), Dance Step Resonance (F-rank), Chilling Frost (F-rank), Upside-Down Stealth (F-rank), Corpse Frenzy (Active), Corpse-like Iron Bones (Passive)]

【…】

Su Yu scrutinized the impressive data on the panel, his gaze deep and thoughtful.

In just a few days, his physical strength broke through the 500 mark, and his mental strength also approached 500.

This is by no means a simple accumulation of numbers, but a substantial leap in the level of life.

His current physical body is capable of withstanding the frontal bombardment of heavy firearms without injury, and his vast spiritual sea has made his perception extremely sharp.

While the transformation of his basic attributes is astonishing, what truly gives him the confidence to deliver a crushing blow is his top-tier equipment and the endless stream of rule-based abilities.

The tattered shroud of the vengeful spirit formed an impenetrable defensive barrier, the illusory cloak granted him the perfect ghostly concealment, and the newly integrated wings of black flame completely filled the last gaps in his air superiority and absolute mobility.

On the combat level, his ability pool has formed an unsolvable closed loop that leaves people in despair.

It possesses a dual spiritual deterrent effect, combining the Soul-Capturing Gong with the Divine Pressure.

It has the ability to break through defenses and strangle opponents using the Shadow Chains and Silhouette Kill.

Even when faced with a formidable opponent, he can use the S-rank [Time Lag - Moment of Eternity] to freeze time, then merge the raging purple lightning with the protective golden light to deliver an absolutely fatal blow in the stagnant spacetime.

This near-perfect all-around combat ability allowed Su Yu to easily suppress even an A-level vengeful ghost.

After closing his personal panel, Su Yu brought up the Dawn organization information.

[Organization Information:]

[Current Organization: Dawn]

Organization Level: 3 (2955/2000)

[Organization Members: Zhou Tian (S-rank: Angel of Judgment), Qin Xinran (A-rank: Shadow Overlord), Shen Lesheng (A-rank: Sand Control), Feng Gang (C-rank: Blazing Blood), Zheng Qiang (C-rank: Mechanical Brain Domain), Wen Xiaoxiao (C-rank: Healing Aura)]

[Organization Base: A Secret Private Museum (Coordinates Anchored)]

Organization Points: 4740

[Organization Funds: 2370000]

[Organization Functions: Teleportation Portal, Points Shop, Taskbar, Organization Control, Dawn Chat Group, Gravity Training Room, Eternal Warehouse, Gold Smelting Furnace]

"Unbeknownst to many, Dawn has already amassed a combat force of this scale."

Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.

One S-rank, two A-ranks, and three C-ranks.

The senior and mid-level combat force echelons have been initially formed.

In particular, the completion of the holographic control room has given Dawn a qualitative leap in intelligence capabilities.

"Next, it's time to let the members grow up as quickly as possible."

Su Yu tapped his fingertips lightly on the windowsill, secretly thinking, "I must find a way to arrange for them to experience more real combat. Only in real life-or-death battles can these recruits transform into a sharp blade that can stand alone."

Plan the team's future development path.

Su Yu's gaze returned to the points and funds displayed below the screen.

"Now, I have accumulated enough points and funds."

"It's time to get a higher-level weapon."

He has always used the silver-grade [Azure Long Spear].

Although its characteristics are good, this silver-grade weapon is clearly no longer up to par when facing high-level ghosts of D rank or above.

You must choose a weapon of a higher level.

"For weapon type... let's choose a spear!"

With that in mind, Su Yu opened the points mall and entered the following filter criteria in the search bar: long spears, gold-level.

Swah——

Data flowed like a waterfall on the screen, and a dazzling array of weapon models appeared instantly before our eyes.

[Weapon: Void-Piercing Spear]

[Rank: Gold]

……

[Weapon: Bone-Eating Spear]

[Rank: Gold]

[Description: The spearhead is tempered with the black waters of the abyss's myriad poisons, and the shaft is forged from century-old sunken wood. Attacks are accompanied by intense poisonous decay and excruciating pain, capable of corroding the crystalline Yin energy of vengeful spirits.]

……

[Weapon: Bloodthirsty Floating Pagoda Spear]

[Rank: Gold]

[Description: A deadly weapon forged from the blood and malevolent energy accumulated over millennia on an ancient battlefield. Its dark red shaft appears as if soaked in dried blood. Attacks are accompanied by a ferocious, bloodthirsty tearing and devastating effect; each swing unleashes a tangible wave of blood and gore. It can forcibly devour the yin energy of vengeful spirits to nourish itself.]

……

Su Yu scanned through the panels one by one, trying to choose the spear that best suited him.

Finally, his gaze settled on a long spear with a domineering design and a cold purple light.

[Weapon: Thunderclap Soul-Devouring Spear]

[Rank: Gold]

[Attributes carried: Constitution +140, Spirit +100]

【Characteristic 1 - Thunderous Blessing (Passive)】

Permanent Lightning Strike: The spear is perpetually imbued with purplish-red lightning. No active casting is required; every swing, sweep, and thrust is accompanied by a furious barrage of purple electric arcs. Basic attacks inflict powerful paralysis and exorcism effects, dealing additional lightning-tear damage to all evil and malevolent entities.

Lightning Damage Boost: The spear possesses an extremely strong lightning resonance. When the user channels and releases lightning-attribute abilities through the spear, the destructive power, penetration, and paralysis range will be increased by 50%!

【Trait 2 - Soul Devouring Tear (Passive)】 The spear tip contains the abyssal law of soul devouring. When attacking, it not only deals physical and lightning damage, but also ignores surface defenses, directly causing irreversible tearing damage to the target's soul and spiritual essence.

[Description: Thunderous execution, ghostly devouring. The spear shaft is made of ancient wood struck by millennia of Yin lightning in the abyss, and the blade is forged from the soul-devouring black iron refined from the spine of a great abyss demon. It contains both the domineering purple lightning representing heavenly punishment and the chilling ferocity to devour the souls of countless ghosts. Wherever the spear points, the flesh turns to charred ashes, and the soul is forever condemned to the abyss of eternal damnation.]

[Redemption Requirements: 4000 Organization Points, 2000000 Organization Funds]

【…】

"This is it."

Su Yu stared intently at the various values ​​on the screen, his expression resolute.

This [Thunderbolt Soul-Devouring Spear] is a divine weapon almost entirely tailor-made for his combat system.

First, there's the bonus to basic attributes.

The mere addition of 140 points to his physical constitution and 100 points to his mental strength was enough to give him another significant boost to his basic combat power the moment he wielded the spear.

More importantly, there are those two passive characteristics that can be described as qualitative changes.

The first characteristic, [Thunderous Blessing], not only imbues the spear with thunderous attacks, but also grants his [Five Thunderbolts Orthodox Method] a boost of up to 50%!

It should be understood that the Five Thunder Orthodox Method itself possesses the domineering power to destroy all evil. If its destructive power and penetrating range are forcibly increased by 50% on this basis, the power it unleashes will become even more terrifying.

The second characteristic, [Soul Devouring Tear], is the ultimate weapon for attacking and suppressing the bizarre.

In this bizarrely resurrected dimension, many high-level vengeful spirits possess physical immunity or mechanisms for taking someone else's place.

This characteristic can directly cause irreversible damage to the enemy's soul essence.

Regardless of the target's immortality, once the spear touches it, it's an absolute blow to the very soul.

Whether it's the compatibility of attributes or the complementarity of tactics, this gun is an extremely good fit for Su Yu.

"Although the exchange conditions are a bit expensive, it's worth it!"

"System, I want to exchange for the Thunderclap Soul-Devouring Spear!"

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully obtained the [Thunderbolt Soul-Devouring Spear]!]

Accompanied by a system notification sound.

A heavy, cold spear appeared out of thin air in Su Yu's palm.

The gun is eight feet seven inches long and weighs 380 pounds.

Holding it in my hand, I felt a heavy, cool metallic sensation.

Su Yu stood up and examined the new weapon in his hand.

The blade is about two feet long and is made of abyssal soul-devouring black iron through repeated forging. Its shape is slender and full of aggression.

The blade is entirely dark and devours light, with intricate and ancient lightning patterns engraved in the blood grooves on both sides.

The edges of the double-edged blade are perpetually shimmering with a deep purple lightning bolt, as restrained as a blade's edge.

The most striking feature is the junction between the blade and the shaft.

That was not the ordinary red tassel, but a ferocious beast's mouth cast from dark gold and black iron!

The beast's mouth opened wide, its menacing jaws clamping down on the blade.

Below the opening, a ring of solidified, dark, deathly mist swirled, with tiny purple electric sparks flickering within the black mist, exuding a chilling and terrifying aura.

The gun body is made of sunken wood struck by lightning over thousands of years, as thick as a goose egg, with microscopic dragon scale anti-slip textures carved on the surface.

Su Yu held the gun with one arm and casually twirled it.

"boom!"

With a whooshing sound, a violent purple arc of electricity shot out along the gun, exploding in the void with a sonic boom.

"Good gun."

Su Yu felt the seamless connection between man and weapon brought by the Thunderclap Soul-Devouring Spear and nodded in satisfaction.
