An infinite journey starting from paradise

and……"

Lin Shangren turned his head and looked at Gloria who was sleeping peacefully with her arms around him.

"I quite like drinking milk."

Thinking of this, Lin Shangren gently pulled out his arm through the shadow and gently stroked Gloria's hair a few times.

"As for the chameleon, is this guy simply greedy for my body? Huh..."

Letting out a sigh, Lin Shangren made a decision.

"Since the mastermind behind this wants them to suffer and despair, then I'll give them hope. Um... Xiao Ai, can you give me a belt with loud sound effects and a bunch of magic rings?"

【Integrity lottery, no freeloaders~| ???ω??)】

"Tsk, forget it if you don't want to give it to me."

Lin Shangren rubbed his neck, and then spread out the shadow under his feet.

"The first step is to find the remaining witches that have not been captured by the Zhimen Organization.

The second step is to transform this city of sin into a model city of civilization.

The third step..."

[Uh…My Lord, have you forgotten something? ???]

"what?"

[That nun you attempted to rape but failed... (*/?＼*)]

"Um... well, let's talk about this later."

Chapter 224: Scum Elimination Plan and Tentacle Monster

Brian McCool, the mercenary leader of the Zhimen Organization, was the sixth one who shot a cold gun from the corner when the Zhimen Organization was hunting Kara, and was the unlucky guy who was beheaded by Lin Shangren with a single knife.

Following the principle of killing without burying, Lin Shangren naturally did not dispose of his body. After all, he was a little depressed at the time and was eager to have a deep conversation with Kara. This gave the Zhimen Organization the opportunity to recover his body and "resurrect" him as a monster.

At this time, the hidden false god Yaldabaoth is using forbidden magic to resurrect Brian's corpse and create a monster that combines it with the demon maggots.

So why was he chosen as the weakling who was killed instantly by Lin Shangren? Was it because he had something special about him?

The reason is very simple. The Zhimen organization has no "people" available - starting from yesterday evening, the day when Lin Shangren woke up, the "Scum Removal Plan" was launched in the city.

That evening, the sun set, and pitch black darkness began to gradually engulf the city. At first, the city's residents, those scoundrels whose sentences, starting with life imprisonment, were a sure bet for the death penalty, didn't notice anything unusual. It wasn't until the nearly solid darkness, blending with the night, gradually engulfed the city's lights, and the sound of human screams echoed from the shadows, and blood and body parts flowed out from the darkness, that the sinners realized retribution had arrived.

The terrified crowd continued to fire, throw grenades and Molotov cocktails into the slowly engulfing darkness, trying to kill the monster hidden within. However, this was pointless and only caused a few more fires, further exacerbating the atmosphere of despair.

Run away, run away.

The darkness moved slowly, leaving them a chance to escape before it engulfed them. The terrified crowd fled in all directions. Toward the border of Jia City? No, they couldn't escape there. Darkness! Except for the still-lit areas in the heart of Kanto's Evil Magic Street, the rest was shrouded in darkness. They could only hide in the still-lit areas, kneeling on the ground, and in fear, praying endlessly to the gods they had blasphemed countless times.

“Save us…save us…”

Just like the victims they tortured and abused.

"Save us... As long as we can hold on until dawn, as long as the sun rises, we will be saved..."

The bedbugs living in the world's largest sewer began praying to the sun.

They can't escape, just like no one can escape their own shadow.

"Light! Light a fire! Light it quickly, burn everything that can be burned! Even a flame will do! Quick, light a fire quickly, the monster in the shadows is coming!"

Fearing the unknown monster in the darkness, the hysterical criminals fell into a final frenzy, setting fire to everything they could, including themselves, just to use the flames to dispel the non-existent monster and the most primitive fear in their hearts.

"Who is the real monster?"

Lin Shangren, who was walking in the darkness, constantly killing evildoers and rescuing victims, and the false god who was watching everything happening in the city asked the same question at the same time.

"Kill, burn, burn it all, and it will be clean." Lin Shangren thought to himself. This was the first time he used his own abilities on such a large scale to kill and save people.

Since the mastermind's ultimate goal is to drive the witches to despair due to their suffering, and the evildoers and demonic maggots gathered in Shelf City are merely a means to achieve this goal, then he will simply cut off the source of the trouble, kill all the evildoers in Shelf City at once, and send the good and ordinary people out of the city before they are twisted into evil by the curse within Shelf City. Finally, he will seal off Shelf City so that outsiders cannot enter. How will you respond?

The false god Yaldabaoth behind the scenes obviously did not expect Lin Shangren to be so ruthless. This was the third time she had misjudged Lin Shangren.

Initially, when Lin Shangren appeared in the Shelf City and rescued Allison and Gloria from the Supreme Gate Organization, Yaldabaoth was indifferent. She simply viewed Lin Shangren as another magician or clergyman seeking the origins of witches and the Gospel of Judas. Men who came into direct contact with witches and were affected by the curse within the Shelf City would quickly force themselves upon them without her intervention, gradually being consumed by the evil, and eventually transformed into a demonic maggot, aiding her in tormenting the witches.

After the Linshang devoured Isabel's soul, transforming her into a creature somewhere between human and witch, Yaldabaoth truly began to take the Linshang seriously. However, she still didn't intend to personally deal with the Linshang. Instead, she planned to use him: "Since you wish to transform them back into humans, then I will do as you wish. Let them gradually remember that they are human, and let them see you as their only hope of returning to humanity. Then, crush that hope, plunging them into utter despair. This would be far more painful than simple physical torture."

However, just as Yaldabaoth was secretly restoring Carol's memories, Lin Shangren dealt her another blow: a fight with the powerful Sister Rosalie, nearly transforming her into a demonic maggot, only to reverse the process and return to human form. Witnessing Lin Shangren's partial immunity to the curse of the garbled city, Yaldabaoth prepared to revise his original plan, only for Lin Shangren to deal her an even greater blow.

Originally, although the core of the Zhimen organization had hidden itself, their minions were still spread throughout Jiashi City, still able to control the various gangs in the city. However, after Lin Shangren's massive purge that night, the city was almost completely destroyed, and even the various gathering points around Jiashi City were not spared. Having lost almost all of its peripheral members, the Zhimen organization had clearly lost control of Jiashi City.

The victims rescued by Lin Shangren were placed in several former gang hangouts outside Jiashi City. Kakuroka Akimoto and several of his associates were protecting them, awaiting the arrival of Japanese government officials. The borders of Jiashi City were completely sealed off by Lin Shangren and the witches, preventing outsiders from entering. Meanwhile, Lin Shangren shared a video of the purge that took place in Jiashi City the previous night, captioning it with his own words: "Jiashi City no longer welcomes illegal immigrants. Trespassers will be mutilated."

Thus, aside from the hidden Supreme Gate organization, the only people in the city were Lin Shangren and the witches around him. If this stalemate continued, Yaldabaoth's plan to recreate the world would obviously be impossible to achieve. She had to find a way out.

In fact, there is no need to think about it at all. Just kill the troublemaker Lin Shangren. As long as he is killed, everything will return to normal.

The question is, how to kill?

The power Lin Shangren displayed was something Yaldabaoth had never seen before, and she couldn't confirm whether he possessed other, incomprehensible, powerful abilities. If she acted rashly and was killed by him, she would be completely doomed.

Therefore, she had to first test Lin Shangren's background and make a plan before taking action. The problem was that she had very few subordinates to use: her apprentice Zhimen, the inquisitor Valentinos whom she had brainwashed, a dozen large demonic maggots, fifteen witches with completely broken souls, and four teams of twenty-eight human mercenaries.

Relying on them to test Lin Shangren wasn't a sure thing, but it was also a recipe for disaster. Therefore, she had to find some even more powerful subordinates, such as a monster that was a combination of human and demon maggot: with almost unlimited self-healing ability, physical strength that rivaled that of a witch, and most importantly, it could, like the demon maggot, grow stronger by devouring the corpses of other creatures.

"It's done."

Yaldabaoth completed the transformation ritual. Brian McCool's headless corpse, nestled in the center of the dark purple magic circle, twitched a few times, and his already decaying head opened its eyes. Then, the headless corpse and head shattered with a loud bang, transforming into a mass of writhing maggots.

"What's wrong with me?"

Brian's consciousness gradually returned. He felt as if he were immersed in water, with things resembling eels and maggots writhing in the liquid, surrounding his body. They had no eyes, scales, or fins, only a round mouth at one end, densely packed with short, insect-like tentacles that swirled and opened and closed with the mouth.

When Brian realized he was one of the maggots, he screamed in terror. But he made no sound, for he was now a maggot, a mass of maggots. His consciousness seemed to have been fragmented into thousands and tens of thousands, each one feeding back its surroundings. Without eyes, ears, and a nose, the world became clearer.

No, they...they had eyes, hidden within their squirming, tentacled mouths. They extended their tentacles, opened their eyes, and observed the world around them. Then, they saw a woman, a petite, naked woman, a beautiful woman with heterochromatic red and blue eyes and silver hair.

"Close to her... Close to her..."

The maggots squirmed, and tens of thousands of tiny maggots combined into several giant maggots as thick as pythons and more than a person's length. Countless tentacles with bared fangs and claws extended from the maggots' open mouthparts.

The slender insects wrapped themselves around Yaldabaoth's body like snakes, sticky tentacles extending from behind their heads. She didn't resist, letting them grasp her slender thighs and bend them toward her chest, then spread them out to the sides, assuming the most common human mating position.

The maggots brought their heads close to her lower body, swaying back and forth, examining her exposed private parts. The hairless mounds of flesh, where fur should have been, were tattooed with roses and thorns. They extended their tentacle-like tongues, their tips flat like leaves, covered in thorn-like protrusions, and forked like a snake's tongue. Their tongues reached for her private parts, as nimble as human fingers, teasing, toying, and licking. The prickly tentacles of their tongues successfully aroused her desire.

"It's time to get in."

Yaldabaoth commanded, kneading her breasts. Maggot tentacles quickly replaced her hands, occupying her small breasts. Several maggots in her hips twisted together, their thorn-like protrusions invading the deepest part of her body. Several smaller maggots extended their heads toward hers, four tongues emerging from their mouths, one after another burrowing into her tight anus. They began licking her rectum, intertwining with the maggots invading her uterus through the fleshy walls.

Like a tide, a gushing torrent, ten or a hundred times more powerful than a human's, they seethed and surged within her soul and flesh. Maggots gradually began to gather within Yaldabaoth's body, twitching deeper through her orifices, eventually converging in her uterus.

Yaldabaoth's belly bulged, reaching its limit. Finally, with extreme labor, she gave birth to the terrifying monster she'd used against the Lin Shang people: a humanoid demon composed of tens of thousands of maggots.

Chapter 225: Tricky Monster

"My Almighty Lord..."

On the top floor of the Zhimen Organization, Zhimen entered Yaldabaoth's room and was about to report to her on the current situation of the Jimen City and the remaining Zhimen Organization. Then he saw a scene that shocked him: a person who looked exactly like him was lying on top of Yaldabaoth, sucking her milk.

"This...!" Zhimen was stunned. He considered Yaldabaoth, the woman who adopted and raised him, his mother and beloved. Although he had seen her with other men countless times, the thought of seeing "himself" and her in intercourse was something Zhimen could not even imagine.

"Ok?"

Hearing Zhimen's voice, Brian climbed up from Yaldabaoth's body, and his skin revealed the original form of a maggot. It squirmed and changed its appearance again, turning from Zhimen back into Brian.

"Hey, Boss." Brian forced a smug smile. "I'm resurrected. This new body is much more powerful than the shabby human body I had before."

As he spoke, Brian walked towards the Gate of Heaven. As he walked, his appearance and clothing kept changing: the Gate of Heaven, Yaldabaoth, Witch Sandy, the Prime Minister of Japan... Relying on a body made up of countless maggots, Brian could perfectly mimic anyone, even animals.

"I… no, we."

Brian's body began to split, and the scattered maggots squirmed and transformed into two, three, and four people with different appearances and various common animals.

"We are truly perfect creatures, far superior to humans and even witches."

"Crazy!!!"

Faced with the provocative attitude of his former subordinate and his own jealousy of his relationship with Yaldabaoth, the angry Zhimen decided to teach this arrogant guy a lesson.

He placed his left hand on his forehead, gathering his spiritual energy. He thrust his right hand forward and slapped out in Brian's direction. As he chanted scriptures, the skin on Zhimen's right palm flipped open like the pages of a book, revealing a black inscription etched beneath. The inscription glowed, and then a devastating force surged toward Brian.

Using gravity magic to hold the opponent in place, he then formed a hand seal and unleashed a spell at Brian's feet. A scarlet magic circle emerged, and a blazing pillar of fire erupted from it, instantly engulfing Brian's body.

"It's just a bug after all."

"But I, a bug, am not afraid of fire." Brian's voice came from the foot of the door.

"what?!"

Looking down, Zhimen discovered that his legs had been infested with maggots. His pants had been corroded and shredded, and his legs had been corroded to the point where the bones were exposed. He felt nothing, not even noticing when the maggots had crawled onto his legs.

"Anesthetics, digestive fluids, the most common and effective means of attack used by insects, and of course... poison."

"Go away!"

Zhimen slapped his legs with his backhand, and the strong wind caused by the wind magic cleared away the maggots and rotten flesh on his legs. The healing magic then took effect, and the muscles of his legs began to grow wriggling granulations, and then they regrowed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Disgusting stuff."

Zhimen's consciousness began to become a little blurred, and the neurotoxin injected into his body by Brian began to take effect.

"Thank you for the compliment."

The wriggling maggots regrouped, forming Brian's body once again. He said jokingly, "Don't worry, the poison isn't fatal this time. At most, it'll give you a headache for a few days. Here, Boss, the antidote."

Brian spat out a long, thin maggot from his mouth and threw it at Zhimen's face. Before Zhimen could get angry, the maggot melted into pus and seeped into Zhimen's skin.

"Oh, sorry, I made a mistake. This time it's also poison."

"asshole!!!"

Before he passed out, Zhimen punched Brian with all his might. The punch pierced Brian's chest, but it only went through it—the maggots had left a hole before being hit, allowing Zhimen's fist to pass through. Zhimen's full-strength punch not only failed to injure Brian, but the maggots gnawed away a circle of flesh on his arm.

"asshole……"

Zhimen, who had lost consciousness, fell straight to the ground.

"Did I go a little too far?" Brian laughed and looked back at his creator.

"You did a good job." Yaldabaoth said, she was very satisfied with Brian's work.

The ability to change and split into multiple forms at will, powerful physical strength, swift movement speed, unstoppable poisoning methods, almost immunity to physical damage, and strong resistance to magic.

Faced with such a near-perfect monster, Yaldabaoth, as its creator, knew he couldn't easily defeat it, and that completely destroying it would come at a price. Such a monster would undoubtedly reveal Lin Shangren's true strength, perhaps even kill him outright.

"Absolutely! Definitely!" Yaldabaoth thought.

Then she gave Brian an order: "Find the man who killed you and kill him!"

"Yes, my master."

Brian bowed slightly.

……

On the shelf in the city center, city library.

If a large-scale "zero-dollar shopping" incident broke out in a city, the library would undoubtedly be one of the few places that would be spared. This was especially true of public libraries like the Shelf City Library, which lacked valuable ancient books or cultural relics, nor did they have any rare books. Without the potential for looting, they would not be plundered by the thugs who flooded the Shelf City.

This rare quiet spot within the city's shelving system is the home of Wilma, the Dragonfly Witch. Until this morning, the reclusive Wilma had lived here alone, having read through nearly a third of the library's collection over the past seven years. Despite absorbing a vast amount of knowledge about human society, she still couldn't find the answer to the question, "Why do witches exist?" Then, someone with the answer arrived at this library with a group of her kind.

Lin Shangren and his team's interaction with Wilma went smoothly, as Gloria and Wilma were old acquaintances. Wilma and Lin Shangren also got along well. Lin Shangren had just walked through Kara's back door, and he still had a long way to go before his madness. His gentle, refined, and knowledgeable demeanor also suited Wilma's taste. Lin Shangren smoothly explained the origins of the witch to Wilma and offered her two options for escape.

"If you live as a human, I have a way to transform you and the other witches into humans. You will lose your powerful witch powers and all your memories of the past seven years. I can't restore your memories of your original human state either. So, if you choose to become a human again, it's like you have to live your life all over again. It's like this."

As he spoke, Lin Shangren showed Wilma the embryos of Sita and Sandy. He continued, "But don't worry, I can send you back to your original family and start your life over again."

"This..." Looking at the toddler-sized Sandy, Wilma hesitated. It wasn't that she was reluctant to give up the witch's power, but she was just reluctant to give up the knowledge she had acquired from books in the past seven years.

"What about the second way?"

"That means living as a witch," Lin Shangren said, "but if you exist as a witch, it will be difficult to integrate into human society in this world. I don't know if your original relatives will accept you. However, this path is not without advantages. If you choose to become my vassal, I will provide you with shelter, give you the best life, and do my best to help you realize your wishes. As a condition..."

"condition?"

"You need to offer your body and your devotion."
