Origin Paradise!

……

Deep underground in a certain state of the empire.

In the beautifully decorated room, the Second Angel, who oversaw the affairs of the End Times, frowned for a long time, with a report of the failed operation on the table.

The Sorcerer of the Blade stood ramrod straight; the head steward before him possessed the privilege of executing angels.

"what happened."

"Unexpectedly, this suddenly appearing Amber's strength is not right. The Angel of the Eyes said that the Extraction Tower has been repaired."

A long silence.

Just when the Sin of the Blade thought the other party was about to fly into a rage, he saw the head steward wave his hand.

There are no accidents in the world.

"There are only inadequate contingency plans."

"If the situation is beyond your control, then it's my problem."

"Go back and rest."

The Sorcerer of Blades blinked, retreated to the doorway, paused for a moment, and after confirming that no more angelic axemen came out to attack him, he felt a sense of belonging to the End of the World as a newcomer.

In the room, the second angel pressed a button on the table to contact the chairman, and a stick figure sat on a toy swing and swayed back and forth.

Suddenly the stick figure stood up and stood still.

"Please speak if you need anything, I'm on my way."

The Second Angel said solemnly, "Guild Master, a guy from the Empire who can repair the Extraction Tower has appeared. He destroyed the Carmel attack plan midway. I request that that damned assassin be sent out to carry out a long-term mission to find an opportunity to take down the target."

The stick figure paced back and forth, then looked up and said, "It would be dangerous to send out our little boss rashly before we know the upper limit of the opponent's strength. The plan is halfway through, so Emperor Yuan Gui should have been killed by him, right? We don't know yet whether this guy is a human or a ghost. I disagree with your idea."

The second angel was somewhat anxious, "But the extraction..."

"Alright," the stick figure reassured, "Fighting is just a means, not an end. The organization's goal is not just the extraction tower. Little Boss is also a member of the organization. In my eyes, he's just like you guys. I'd feel bad for him if one of you died."

The second angel paused for a moment, then said, "The ninth angel has been imprisoned; it's that Amber again."

The stick figure put his hands on his hips and said, "You don't need to worry about this. Even if Emperor Yuan Gui hadn't damaged the academy's defenses, the plan would still proceed as scheduled. I'm not someone to be trifled with. Hang up."

call ended.

The second angel leaned wearily against his chair; he had been running the organization for most of the time.

Just then, the information I had been carefully considering came into view.

—Shadow Sorcerer, the Thirteenth Angel.

Or rather, a newcomer of unknown origin possesses the strength of an ordinary Gold Saint before becoming a Sin Master. Interestingly, occasionally a few hotheads will break into the organization to assassinate him. These guys, who call themselves Executors during interrogation, encounter angel hunts, and their fate is self-evident.

"It's time to promote newcomers." The second angel murmured to herself, "The president doesn't know them, so he probably won't feel bad about it."

Chapter 406 Nun

On the day of the Incense Burning Festival.

A guidance team sent by the Holy City of the Empire took over the defense of Carmel, spearheaded the restoration of order, and launched an investigation into the attack.

Chengbei Railway Station.

This is the second most important location in the main city after the Scarlet Theatre.

Travel was extremely difficult in the Ash Age. The roaming Fallen were a deadly threat to most people. The Empire spent a huge sum of money to build the main city railway, which covered all the main cities along the way. The high cost once brought the empire to the brink of financial collapse.

Jiang He stood on the platform, and the distant sound of a train whistle drifted over as a 36-carriage, entirely black train approached.

Afterwards, the old priest pulled Rorona and Green aside and whispered some advice, mostly about his experience and secrets for escaping. He had already used his connections to get the two of them jobs at the academy; the former would be a teaching assistant, and the latter would be a B-level student awaiting evaluation.

The Ashes Duchess stood beside someone, her knee-length trench coat swaying gently in the wind, her white shirt covering her ample figure. Her figure, like her face, was quite eye-catching.

“There are no inspection measures on the Ring Railway. Instead, every train conductor is Huang Jin.”

Duchess Ash said, "During the last all-out war between the Empire and the End Society, even though more than ten Gold Saints fell on both sides, this railway was not affected in the slightest."

Ultimately, the core members and ordinary members of the End Society also rely on this convenient railway for their travel.

"The Empire did not want to bear the huge cost of repairs after each attack, and the End Society did not want to make similar basic investments either, so the two sides had to reach a tacit understanding on this matter."

Jiang He remained calm. According to the initial intelligence, the combat strength of the End Society was not limited to angels. Many of the branch leaders of underground activities in various states were Gold-level experts without domains. In fact, only a minority of the legion commanders in the Empire had domains. Carmel City was not far from the Holy City, and the legion commanders here were already among the best.

The End Society is not simply a terrorist force; it includes rebels, political losers, ambitious individuals, various criminals who are not tolerated by the order, and several large religious orders that are hostile to the Redemption Church.

Objectively speaking, the Endworld will live in the shadow of the Empire and the Theocracy, and a considerable part of it is the embodiment of their enemies. The truly brilliant aspect of this organization's strategy is that it can unify all opposing sides, thus creating an ever-growing and inexhaustible force.

Drop drop!

The train has arrived at the station.

Duchess Ashes pulled a ticket book from her trench coat, signed six tickets, tore them off, and handed them to the ticket inspector.

"Senior, just get on the bus." The ticket inspector smiled warmly. Ash Academy is dedicated to cultivating practical talents, and its students work in all aspects of the Empire.

Duchess Ash shook her head twice, once to the left and once to the right, and said, "The rules need to be upheld by you and me."

The ticket inspector was speechless, only glancing at the young man in front of him a few times.

Five people boarded the train, and the carriage became bustling with activity.

Green was somewhat surprised and said frankly, "I thought it was a private car."

“It is indeed a private train,” Duchess Ash replied casually. “This train took a detour from the neighboring state. In fact, we are the ones who came here, but the passengers are unaware of this.”

The group sat down in the cubicle. Jiang He chose a seat by the window. The little white snake looked around curiously for a while, but seeing that it wasn't very interesting, it ran back to its portable holy city. The Evil Legion's birthday celebration would naturally last for more than a day and was expected to continue until the time for battle. As for when the battle would take place, that was yet to be determined.

Duchess Ash also chose a window seat, but on the opposite side. The old priest didn't want to sit next to anyone, so he simply sat next to the beautiful woman.

Rorona leaned forward and tilted her head, looking cautiously at Lord Amber, and mustered her courage to ask, "...Big brother?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang He turned her head, but after a moment she turned back.

Rorona: "..."

Can't you see me?

Jiang He could naturally see this guy, but from a combat perspective, none of the other party's words were of any practical significance. Almost all conversations were a waste of time. He had no interest in coaxing children and had always ignored them. As for Aya, of course, he couldn't be generalized, since there were differences in their closeness.

Bang!

The train started moving on the tracks.

The oil lamp hanging from the ceiling of the compartment swayed, and through the blinds, one could see Carmel gradually receding into the distance, with the desolate wilderness coming into view.

The sky was gloomy and dark, with low-hanging clouds that seemed within reach. A fierce wind howled from the horizon, swirling up withered leaves and dust, like countless ghosts rushing by. The distant mountains appeared blurry under the gray sky, as if shrouded in a thin mist, their outlines appearing and disappearing like the spine of a giant beast.

Groups of fallen ghosts wandered aimlessly, numbering in the thousands. Huge corrupted beasts, a mixture of giant bears and skyscraper ruins, were slowly migrating. Packs of corrupted wolves, their flesh and blood intertwined with vehicle frames, roamed around searching for prey. The lush black grass growing on the ground resembled a primeval jungle.

"The world is dying," Jiang He thought to himself.

As the world's consciousness degenerated into a collection of human hatred, the greatest protector of the Ash World has vanished.

clang!

Suddenly, a deafening roar was heard.

The carriage jolted violently, as if it had run over some obstacle. The train conductor applied the brakes urgently to reduce speed, and the train eventually came to a relatively smooth stop on the tracks.

But at some point, all the oil lamps went out, and dim light shone in through the blinds, making the carriages look like giant coffins, which immediately alarmed the passengers.

"I have broken my leg!"

"What's going on? The national railway can have problems?!"

"My stomach hurts so much, I'm going into labor!"

Chaos erupted inside the carriage.

Sitting in the cubicle, Duchess Ash looked at the man's facial features and whispered, "Something's not right."

Jiang He returned the look as if she were an idiot. Even Rorona knew something was wrong, so there was no need to emphasize it. The accident happened after the train passed through Carmel, and the probability that it was coming for them was quite high.

The old priest nervously looked out the window. The black grass obscured most of his vision and senses. This corrupted plant had an innate ability to isolate sinful energy, and both came from the same source.

"They dare to attack the railway; they're up to no good."

……

Under a dead tree.

A nun dressed in a black and white robe sat cross-legged on the ground. Her appearance, figure, and demeanor were all quite ordinary, but the fact that she sat there in the wilderness as if no one else was around was strangely unusual in itself.

She quickly ate communion with a knife in her hand, conveying a message to the Church of Temperance through this simple ritual.

Unlike any other faction in the Ashes, the Sisters of Temperance came specifically for gluttony.

Every great sin has a corresponding restraint in the boundless void, just as the Church of Compassion is hostile to pride, the Church of Purity is hostile to lust, and the Church of Temperance takes the elimination of gluttony as its mission.

The Ash World is a battlefield divided into two major arenas: the End and All Living Beings. The highest limit that outside beings can reach is the Silver Peak.

To ensure the success of the operation, Sister Temperance shattered her mythical form and golden realm, destroying her life level and falling from the Heroic rank to the Silver rank.

In the five years following her arrival, she made a pact with the Abyss of Repentance, joined the Church of Redemption, regained her Gold status, and ultimately recovered to become what was considered the strongest in the world.

Unlike the tragic lives of previous Gluttons, this generation's Glutton is a former battlefield warrior who prematurely reveals his identity in the struggle for power, yet still manages to live a carefree life.

Even the Holy Kingdom, an alliance of seven churches and a super power in the boundless void, was powerless to fight against the battlefield faction alone.

Sister Temperance finished her prayer and began her final preparations. In fact, her compatibility with the abyss of repentance was not very high, because she did not feel that she had anything to repent for. However, the mental imagery she was about to use could increase her chances of success. Her stubborn ideas were insignificant in the face of the great cause of the church, and repentance became very necessary.

As for how the Church locked down Gluttony, Sister Temperance knew a thing or two. The high-level player with the End of the World held a position within the Church and completed the report through the battlefield's reminder. After descending, Gluttony's nature would inevitably prevent him from staying still, and upon learning of the Carmel attack, she immediately set off for the scene.

"Holy war is imminent, my God has mercy on me."

"Overeating should be controlled."

Meanwhile, hundreds of End players were in the dark thicket of the wilderness. Without exception, all members were at the peak of Silver rank. Under the cover of Origin, the End battlefield could not detect the intruders' identities through detection. Therefore, this fallen adventure group always followed Sister Temperance.

"The train has been stopped."

"The target is in the train carriage!"

"Slaughter all living beings, and activate the corrupted state for everyone!"

"Go ahead."

The leader of the Fallen Adventurers set an example by having countless strands of flesh and blood cover his body, and his eyes immediately turned blood red.

Within the Knights of Atonement of the Holy Kingdom, there exists a technology that mimics the life form of the Abyss Demon. By corrupting all the extraordinary powers within the body and then concentrating these powers of the same nature to amplify the physique, a powerful killing machine is ultimately created, at the cost of temporarily losing one's sanity.

In an instant, hundreds of berserkers launched a charge. Experience had shown that flashy battles posed no threat to the overlord. This time, the End had summoned a simple and brutal army of players.

……

in the carriage.

The roars outside were loud and overlapping. The passengers were confused and thought that the train had lost its ability to shield against the demons. Chaos broke out everywhere, and some people even chose to abandon the train and escape.

Duchess Ash frowned and said, "The location is too disadvantageous for us. This is an area where black grass grows abundantly, so we can't even extend our senses."

The old priest stared blankly at someone, suspecting that the other person was the source of the disaster, and that he himself had become unfortunate because of this guy.

Jiang He noticed the old priest's presumptuous gaze, filled with the resentment of an honest man. However, he refused to admit that the Origin's arranged identity in Carmel City might have foreseen the surprise attack. This attack was definitely a continuation of the failed plan, and he was also in the position of a victim.

"The train can't break down, otherwise there might be even more trouble on the way to the Holy City," Jiang He said. "I'll mark the enemy's location."

As soon as he finished speaking, a battlefield made of flames appeared.

Jiang He activated his All-Seeing Eye, his eyes becoming pure white. As he scanned his surroundings, he took in everything.

On the fiery sand table, gray lightning forms a train, while bright red lightning marks the enemy. The current situation is clearly visible and is being adjusted in real time according to the situation.

Duchess Ash clicked her tongue in amazement. Her investigative abilities alone were astonishing. Amber was skilled in a wide range of things, and her combat prowess in killing Emperor Abyss was clearly only one of them.

The only problem was that when the other person's gaze swept over her, their overly deep gaze made her feel uncomfortable, but she wasn't going to dwell on such trivial matters right now.
