An infinite journey starting from paradise

"Keep licking."

Arisima Ichima slapped the woman.

"Yes……"

The woman continued to lick the limp thing of Aishima Ichimo carefully with great trepidation.

She hadn't done anything wrong; Arishima Kazuma was simply taking his anger out on her. Lately, things had been tough for Arishima: human experiments and new drug development hadn't made any progress, and the fact that he'd been secretly discharging untreated wastewater had even been exposed. What had frightened him most was that their god, that Ōtsu-no-Okamura, was...

"And then there's the batch of experimental subjects. The girl from the Shangyue family was rescued, and the little girl also escaped. Haha... doesn't matter. Anyway, I'll just find a new base material."

Thinking of this, Arishima Kazuma looked at the newspaper on the table. On the entertainment page of the newspaper was printed a person, a very beautiful long-haired beauty, Kamitsuki Wana, an actress who was originally mediocre but suddenly became famous recently.

"Using the money from selling the elder sister to promote the younger sister, is this the famous Shangyue family? Ridiculous."

Arishima Ichima sneered and took the newspaper.

"I paid for your eldest daughter, and now she's been snatched away. It's only right for me to ask you for your youngest daughter as an explanation, right?

It's quite nice, I'll send it to the research institute after I'm done with it. Their genes should be very suitable for experiments on shared perception and mind reading."

While thinking about this, Arisima Kazuma suddenly heard a few muffled sounds coming from outside the door, followed by the screams of his assistant Soraki Keigo.

Blood first seeped into the room through the crack in the door, and then the door was pushed open.

The one who entered the room was Soraki Keigo. "Entered" might not be the right word, as he was kicked in. At that moment, he was like a sea cucumber, with countless thick black spikes bursting out of his body, then expanding and tearing his body into pieces from the inside out.

The body parts fell to the ground, blood flowed everywhere, and the sharp spikes that dismembered Keigo Sora's body turned into shadows under the blood again.

"This move has a nice visual effect, but it's a bit of a waste of energy."

Lin Shangren commented calmly, forcing a kind smile:

"Hello. I'm Arisima Ichima, or rather, Narabashi Ichima."

"You are……"

Before he could even utter the word "who," Arishima Ichima was completely enveloped by the shadow beneath him. Lin Shangren's pupils also took on a shadow, and his mind shadow activated. From then on, they had plenty of time for "chat."

Chapter 143: The Just and Cruel Tentacle Man

In the center of Yamagata City, a fire broke out at Hinagami Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

A girl in a ragged skirt huddled in the shadows next to a trash can across the street, covering her bandaged left eye and staring at the fire across the street with her right eye.

Imagine the limbs burned by flames, the charred chest, the burning internal organs in the abdominal cavity, imagine the flames devouring everything in the building.

The girl was far away from the fire, but she could still feel the heat coming towards her. She hugged the bunny doll tightly in her arms.

Looking at the burning building in the darkness, she could feel the dark planet spinning beneath her feet. Violence... She understood what made the homeless cats scream like babies in the dark.

She looked up at the stars through the smoke of burning human fat, but she could not see God.

The night is so cold, suffocating and endless.

"Where should I go?"

The girl didn't know what to do, she was a little hungry.

She could only hold the worn and dirty rabbit doll tightly and stare blankly at the burning building.

It's not just Hinagami Pharmaceuticals that will be burned to the ground tonight, just like a criminal case doesn't end with the execution of the main culprit. What's more, the real culprits of this series have not yet been brought to justice.

In the commercial district of downtown Yamagata, there is the church of Tenkei no Kai.

A mass was being held in the church as usual.

Twenty-six nuns, clad only in white robes, stood on either side of the church, while monks stood beside them, holding unlit candles. The faithful knelt devoutly in the center of the church, awaiting the bishop's arrival.

A gust of wind blew, and the large bell beneath the statue of the Madonna in black hanging in front of the church rang thirteen times. With each ring, the candles in the hands of two monks would light up.

After the thirteenth bell, the nuns standing on both sides of the church aisle turned around, lifted up their robes, knelt down, and then bent over, shaking their waist and buttocks, contracting their anus again and again.

The monks, with solemn expressions, took the burning candles and forced them into the candlesticks beside them. Then they unbuttoned their pants, revealing their erect shafts, ready to be inserted into the nun's candlesticks.

"Die scum, die scum, Natanarus, die scum."

The believers murmured blasphemous incantations. As they chanted, the church's inner doors slowly opened. A silver-haired woman in a pure black nun's habit slowly entered the church, followed by four nuns in white. A pristine white blanket floated between the nuns, and upon it lay a short-haired girl in a red top and black skirt.

The girl is the sacrifice of this mass.

"She's here!"

"She is coming!"

The believers murmured and their low chatter turned into loud shouts of joy.

In the deep church, the eyes of the Virgin Mary's portrait shed black and red smelly tears of blood.

"The girl performed a miracle after seeing the Virgin Mary." The black-robed nun said as she slowly walked towards the pulpit in front of the church.

"Mater Maria!" (Hail Mary!) the monks and nuns responded.

Whenever a nun walked past a flesh candlestick, the monk nearby would insert the handle into it. The hot wax dripped down, the nuns moaned with pleasure, and the monk placed his palm on the candle flame, using pain to elevate them.

"We will all remember Mother's gift!"

The bishop nun walked to the front of the podium, and the girl floating in the air was also placed on the magic circle surrounded by candlelight.

"Mater Maria! Mater Maria!"

"Hail Mary!"

The bishop nun pulled off her black robe, revealing a body that was both white and shimmering with silver. The white was the color of her skin, and the silver was the rings embedded in her flesh: on her breasts, on her nipples, on her navel, on her labia, and on her clitoris.

She is like a Christmas tree, with bells hanging on top and "presents" stuffed underneath.

The nun opened her arms to the believers and said, "Let's begin."

"Die scum, die scum, Natanarus, die scum!"

"Die scum, die scum, Natanarus, die scum!"

The believers began to chant spells frantically. As they chanted, the nun's body began to change: the clitoris that was originally hung with rings and nails suddenly grew larger, the flesh and blood ruptured, and the things on it flew off, and then it stretched into a thick blood-red hook.

The ceremony is about to begin, as usual.

She would first take away the virginity of the pure girl who was offered as a sacrifice, then kill her and share her blood and flesh with her believers.

The Lord said, "Eat this bread, for it is my flesh."

Then the Mother said, "Eat the flesh of the pure virgin; it is bread."

The Lord said, "Drink this wine, for it is my blood." Then the Mother said, "Drink the blood of the pure virgin, for it is wine."

Mater Maria!

The nun was about to strip off the girl's dress.

At this moment, the church door suddenly opened.

"Da da da."

A man in black, holding a black umbrella upside down, walked into the church. He didn't walk fast, but the sound of his footsteps was extremely clear and reached the ears of everyone present.

"Silver party, that's interesting."

"Pah, pah, pah."

Lin Shangren clapped his hands and walked towards the nun.

The nun stared at Lin Shangren warily. Whenever he passed by a monk and nun engaged in ecstasy, they would groan in pain.

The pitch-black spikes pierced their skin from the inside out, allowing the two tightly connected people to truly "unite," shatter, and then "melt into one." Where the corpses and blood mixed, only the blood-stained thorns made of black shadows remained upright.

"Puff, puff, puff..."

The sound of flesh being torn apart by the materialized black shadow was not pleasant, and even a bit disgusting... Well, letting the two people who were making peace be torn apart from the inside out was a disgusting and horrifying way of dying.

Among the believers present, there were barely a few who could still be considered human beings.

They were scared.

The nuns standing under the statue of the Virgin Mary still looked at Lin Shangren who was walking slowly towards them without fear.

"you……"

Before the nun could speak, the four nuns in white beside her screamed.

The shadow beneath her feet suddenly transformed into a sticky swamp. Several pitch-black tentacles stretched out from the swamp, binding them and suspending them in the air. The black-clad nun herself was also pinned to the spot by the shadow swamp.

"We'll talk about this later," Lin Shangren said kindly. "Right now, I have to deal with those present first. Oh, you're lucky. Since you're not the main culprits, there are some newcomers who were just lured in. So... most of you will at least leave behind an intact body."

As he spoke, Lin Shangren's shadow-gloved hand revealed his modified and upgraded Glock 17. Although he could already kill people at will with his ability, it was still more appropriate to shoot with a gun.

The frightened believers huddled in place like quails, and few of them even thought of escaping when facing the gunpoint.

"Aren't you going to run away?"

"Oh!"

"You really ran away?"

"Boom! Boom!"

"I'm just teasing you. Run away, run away."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Through the Eye of Innocence, Lin Shangren had already determined who should be killed and who could be spared. Now, he just wanted to have fun.

Flames kept spitting out of the gun muzzles. With the continuous gunshots, only a few believers present were able to escape.

After dealing with the believers, Lin Shangren threw the gun into the shadows. With a smile on his face, he looked at the five nuns he controlled.

"Okay, it's our turn. We need to make it quick, I have a place to go."

While talking to himself, Lin Shangren walked towards the pulpit in the church.

"You guys, really are such a fool. Pharmaceutical companies, church bases, experimental sites... so many facilities have to be arranged so far away, making it so difficult for me to go around to kill people. Can't I just kill you all at once?"

As Lin Shangren spoke, the shadowy tentacles bounding the four white-clad nuns began to move. With the sounds of clothes ripping and bones snapping, the tentacles slowly twisted their bodies into a contorted ball, their chests and waists spinning in two completely different directions. Their necks were twisted so tightly that they could almost see their backs.

"I know you like pleasure and pain, so consider this my reward for you. You haven't tried tentacle play, have you?"

The originally flexible tentacles suddenly tightened and dug deep into the nuns' skin. Small black thorns extended from the tentacles and embedded themselves into their flesh.

The nuns' mouths gaped in agony, tears streaming from their large, red eyes. Their bodies trembled and convulsed. Their massive breasts had long since been twisted into a true pretzel, twisted together in circles. The shadowy tentacles exerted further force, and with a puff, the pointed ends spurted out white milk and blood.

"Okay, the water is out, so let's start clearing it."

The thick tentacles instantly filled every orifice on the nuns' bodies like nine orifice plugs. Piercing, stretching, pulling, thrusting, after the barbed shadows had thoroughly ground and pulverized their internal organs, Lin Shangren released his power.

"Pfft."

Blood, flesh and bone fragments gushed out, and only four relatively intact human skins fell to the ground.

"Okay, it's time to deal with you. Don't worry, as one of the main culprits, you will definitely die a much more miserable death than them. Miss Fukamizu Kaoru."

Chapter 144: Do you dare to die?

Originally, Kaoru Fukamizu just wanted a child of her own. As for why she wanted a child, she herself didn't remember.

She only remembered her jealousy and resentment towards those healthy women.

Why do they sell their bodies when they are healthy?

Why do they abort the fetus when they can have children?

Why do they have everything they desire but don't cherish it at all?

She was so pious, why would the Almighty do this to her? Was it because she had done something wrong?

No, it wasn't because she did something wrong, but because of what she didn't do! She was a nun, a servant and vicar of the Lord on earth. The Lord said abortion was a sin, and she turned a blind eye to such a sin. So the Lord punished her.

That must be the case!

Fukamizu Kaoru thought so.

So she began to punish those sinners, those disgusting people, on behalf of the Lord, killing them...killing them...

But it was useless. No matter how many abortion victims she killed, she would never be able to regain her uterus.

Because God does not exist. There is no punishment, no redemption. Her physical deformity and inability to conceive were not due to God, but simply her own bad luck.

Fukamizu Kaoru couldn't believe this. If the Lord didn't exist, what would she and the human race do?

Then, she received divine revelation from the Mother.
