Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 182 The end of the war is coming
Two days later.

Friar, training ground 17, late at night.

clang!clang--!
On the training ground, two figures were holding trial-type divine machines and fighting fiercely.

Ten times, twenty times...

The two of them seemed to be working tirelessly, and they fought for nearly two hundred rounds before stopping, sweating profusely.

"Not bad. It's improved compared to yesterday."

Carter looked at the sharp fire in front of him and said with a smile.

"It's nothing, just getting used to the changes in physical attributes."

Feng Huo shook his head and said, then glanced at the No. 18 training ground divided by soundproof glass next to him, and his eyes moved slightly.

In the training ground No. 18, two gunners, Quanmao Quanfa and Lani, were constantly fighting each other. The entire training ground was filled with the light of the training oracle bullets.

"Everyone is working hard..."

Carter looked at the situation at the training ground next to him, his eyes moved slightly, and he muttered to himself as he looked at Feng Huo in front of him.

"continue or not?"

"Ah."

Without much communication, the two picked up the magic machine again and started fighting frequently.

In fact, if you look at it from an overhead perspective, you will find that it is already late at night, but basically all the lights are on in the training ground in Friar. On each training ground, there are 2 to 5 contractors. Then practice with devotion.

And if you observe carefully, you will find that there are weak signs of oracle cell erosion on the right wrist of almost every contractor.

After feeling the crisis, almost all contractors unanimously chose to upgrade the bonus provided by the God Eater career template from 5 to 8 points to 13 to 15 points.

Everyone knew that if he did this wrongly, the oracle cells in his body would go out of control and he would turn into a desolate god, but almost no one refused.

It is not a difficult choice for the contractors whether to be chewed into scraps by the Aragami or to take the risk of transforming into an Aragami.

……

Friar, Lounge 3.

boom!
The sound of the bottle cap opening was accompanied by the sound of foam floating. Lana was seen leaning on the sofa, looking at the can of beer in her hand, and drank it all.

"Tsk, tsk, it's not a good habit to keep your members in check while sneaking here to drink by yourself."

Chi Jia's joking voice sounded from the side. Chi Jia was also seen holding a bottle of beer with the sun emblem on it. He put one hand on the sofa, crossed his legs, and looked at Lana beside him, teasing.

Lana glanced at Chi Jia and said nothing, just sipping her wine.

"Tell me, including that guy Azheng, how many of the three of us can make it back alive in the end?"

Chi Jia didn't pay attention to Lana's silence, but stared at the yellowish light above his head and asked in a casual tone.

"do not know."

Lana's cold voice sounded.

"I guess so."

Chi Jia smiled, shook his head, looked down at the sun emblem on the beer in his hand, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Once in a while, think about it, this hellish place in Paradise is really stupid. No matter how hard you try, you never know what you will encounter in the next world."

Lana heard this and said nothing.

"Anyway, let's get some rest early. We are just second-level contractors, not superhuman beings who won't get tired even if we don't sleep."

Chi Jia said, stood up, patted his armor, and walked out the door.

Lana was left alone sitting on the sofa, looking at the empty tin can in her hand, clicking her tongue in displeasure, squeezing it hard, and threw it heavily into the trash can nearby.

……

Friar roof.

click, click...

The sound of neither light nor heavy footsteps sounded on the tattered iron shell.

"It's easy for a person to catch a cold if he sits here blowing the evening breeze in the middle of the night. Your Excellency, our captain?"

Amamiya held a half-smoked cigarette in his left hand, glanced at Renka Sora who was sitting next to him, and said in a somewhat frivolous tone.

"Ah."

Renka Sonogi did not look at Ritsou Amamiya who was standing aside. Instead, she simply responded and continued to sit there, silently staring at the night scene in front of her.

"Tsk tsk, don't look so glum. I see you and Heijian had a very happy chat, didn't you?"

"I'm just thinking about some past things..."

Kongmu Renhua said, the bright moonlight reflected in her golden pupils.

"Alyssa? Or Haotai and Soma? Or the former branch chief who threw so many things at us without saying a word?"

"All."

"Then you really have a lot to think about. Don't you feel tired?"

Amemiya Ringdan smiled, threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, and sat down like Soragi Renka.

"A bit...but it's easier than expected."

"I guess so. After all, Black Sword really makes people feel relieved."

As Amemiya Ringtong said, he glanced at Renka Soragi's right hand and saw that on his right wrist, a golden trace like a corpse stain had spread to almost half of his forearm.

"How are you feeling?"

"Better than expected."

Kongmu Renhua said, shaking the palm of his right hand.

"Heijian is very strong. With him here, our chances of winning will increase a lot."

"Well, I guess everyone can see this. Now I'm wondering if he is a human being. After all, that kind of power is too incredible no matter how you think about it."

"To be honest, I have had the illusion more than once that I would accidentally be affected by his battle and die in a daze?"

Amemiya Ringtong complained as he recalled what he had seen.

"But, having said that, these contractors are actually quite easy to get along with. At first, I thought there would be a lot of pressure when working with them?"

"The God of Justice who eats apples and bread for breakfast, pfft, no matter how many times you think about this kind of thing, it always feels so incredible, right?"

As Amamiya Ringtong said, he laughed and shook his head helplessly.

"They are all amazing people, just like what the branch leader said in his memory."

Kongmu Renhua said calmly, looking at the moonlight above her head, her eyes flickering slightly.

"Xikzar? To be honest, it's still hard for me to imagine that guy would do these things."

"The guy who almost killed me is actually a great hero who saves mankind. It's a very subtle feeling."

Amamiya Ritsou said, sighing with some distress.

"People change, that's all."

Kongmu Lianhua's eyes were slightly lowered, and her golden pupils became more conspicuous and frightening than usual against the backdrop of the night.

"That's right. Not to mention humans, even gods can undergo earth-shaking changes overnight."

As Amamiya Ringtong spoke, he glanced at Kongmu, and then seemed to notice something. He looked at the thing in the other person's hand and was slightly startled.

It was an old compass stained with long-dried blood.

"I didn't expect you to still keep it..."

Amemiya Ringtong's eyes moved slightly and he whispered.

"Is this thing... accurate?"

Amemiya Ritsou looked at the scene in front of him and murmured.

"Exactly."

"Really? Which direction is it pointing now?"

"God."

"Is that so? That's indeed quite accurate."

……

Friar interior, personal room.

"Huh...huh! Huh..."

The sound of relaxed breathing echoed in the room. Xin Lailai was lying on the bed, meditating with his eyes closed, quietly feeling the path of the mana in his body, converting the mana absorbed into the body into magic power, and then storing it in Inside the demon-breaking suit on the body.

After an unknown amount of time, Xin Lailai slowly opened his eyes. The scene in front of him was reflected in the dark pupils, and his calm expression gave people an inexplicable sense of oppression.

"It can't be completely cured after all, okay..."

Xin Lailai lowered his head, glanced at his right hand and the panel at the edge of his sight, and sighed softly. …

【Xinlailai】

力量：48（36+5+2+6）

敏捷：49（37+5+2+6）

体力：49（37+5+2+6）

Intelligence: 49 (37+10+2)

……

By rebinding the God Eater template, Xin Lailai has successfully raised his attributes to the limit of 49 points.

But even so, the impact of reducing all basic attributes by 5 points and forcibly stripping off professional templates is still irreparable.

In the past two days, Xin Lailai has been trying to adjust his physical condition by running the energy circulation trial type given to him by 83203, but he still feels that his body's movements are obviously more blocked than before.

This is because when the God Eater template was peeled off, deeper parts of his body were indirectly damaged.

The God-Eater Template is different from the Ghost Blood Template. The Ghost Blood Template essentially just converts all the blood in the body into ghost blood. These ghost blood exist independently of other body parts and will not cause any damage to cells such as brain cells and cardiomyocytes. What erosion.

Because of this, evil ghosts in the Demon Slayer world have the possibility to transform back into humans.

But the God Eater template is completely different. The Oracle Cells will desperately erode their own body cells from the moment they are mastered.

Once the body is not strong enough, it will be completely swallowed up by the oracle cells. Even if you find a way to restore the human form, the race will change from a human to a god.

If it develops to that point, even if there is a blood extraction device, Xin Lailai will never be able to use it on himself, because by then the [God Eater] template has become his basic racial template, not just an additional one. Bloodline template.

It is precisely this characteristic of deep erosion that causes Xin Lailai to be left with hidden wounds that cannot be cured by conventional means every time the God Eater template is peeled off.

"You won't have to have another sun treatment when you go back..."

When she thought of sun therapy, Xin Lailai's eyelids couldn't help but twitch slightly.

Until now, he didn't think that kind of process could be called treatment. To put it bluntly, without anesthesia, it would be absolutely fine to use it as a means of torture.

"Forget it, let's not think about it."

Xin Lailai gently rubbed his temples, trying to free his mind from a hundred anatomical images.

Rather than worrying about cures, thinking about how to survive and win this war in the world is the most important issue.

If he really wanted to go back alive, Xin Lailai wouldn't mind having sun therapy even ten times, not to mention once.

"World coordinate defense battle, the choice of this thing is really a headache."

Xin Lailai flipped through the rules of the war world in front of him and sighed with a headache.

According to the rules of the Ascension War, after successfully guarding [Pseudo World Core] for 20 days, a three-day preparation period will begin.

During these three days, the party that fails to occupy the core of the world must temporarily withdraw all combatants from the battlefield. The party that captures the core of the world can freely choose a coordinate in the battlefield as the deployment point of the world coordinates. Finally, around this A 3-day coordinate defense battle was launched at the coordinates.

If it were an ordinary enemy, after seizing the core of the world, they would just have to find a way to set the coordinates deeper and higher.

But in the face of an enemy like Aragami, who can fly around the world, burrow into the ground, and can withstand high temperatures and high pressures, the operation of setting the coordinates at an off-site location is completely unworkable.

If they set the coordinates 30 kilometers under the sea with their front legs, the Aragami will be able to sneak over in groups with their back legs, and they won't even be able to defend themselves.

[Announcement: The God Eater camp has successfully guarded [Pseudo World Core] for 20 days, and the ruling has begun...]

Suddenly, a notice suddenly appeared in front of Xin Lailai's eyes, and then the cold sound of the paradise sound quickly sounded in Xin Lailai's mind.

[The ruling is completed, the first phase of the battle of transformation is over, the winner: the God Eater camp]

[This world battlefield is about to enter the silent phase. Please set the world coordinates within the specified time, and the Aragami camp must evacuate all participants from the battlefield area before the end of the silent phase.]

[Remaining duration of silent phase: 2 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes]

For a moment, almost everyone on the Friar couldn't help but raise their heads, stop what they were doing, and listen quietly to the cold announcement in silence.

In the room, Xin Lailai stood up, walked to the window, looked at the white sky outside the window, and remained silent.

……

The world of God Eater, underground space.

"Has it finally started..."

It closed its eyes and sat on a throne like tree roots, listening to the cold 'oracle' that sounded directly from its mind.

"Three days? Time is a bit tight."

After listening to the 'oracle', it slowly opened its eyes, looked forward with its golden vertical pupils, and then slowly raised its palm, like a king about to issue an order.

"In this case, let's start gathering now, my descendants."

Buzz!

An indifferent command sounded, and the next moment, the dark brown tentacles entangled in the entire underground space began to move crazily.

……

at the same time.

God Eater world, somewhere.

[Announcement: The world coordinates are established and the war is won! 】

[*Tips: The teleportation is being constructed, and the contractors of this battlefield will return to the Sanctuary Paradise in 10 minutes]

"Okay!" "It's finally over!"

"It scared me to death. I thought there would be hundreds more ghost-faced giant tails coming in the end."

In a wilderness that was [-]% or [-]% similar to the second-level battlefield, hundreds of contractors in different attires showed excited expressions.

"Silica! We win!"

A white-haired elf girl wearing a green ranger costume excitedly hugged the companion in front of her and said excitedly.

The girl she hugged was none other than a new contractor of the Natural God Sect who had met Xin Lailai once in the Attribute Hall and enthusiastically attracted people from her own sect to find clients for Xin Lailai. Silica.

"Well, I almost thought I was going to die here."

Silica patted her not-so-full chest with lingering fear, looked at the notice in front of her, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after she entered the paradise, she was suddenly forcibly recruited to participate in the first-order war world on the space battlefield. She was frightened at the time.

Fortunately, after actual experience, she found that the war world did not seem to be as scary as she thought. Even in the final coordinate core guarding stage, there were only 500 ghost-faced giant tails rushing home collectively.

Although it was a bit dangerous, relying on the care of her companions, she and several of her companions who were recruited survived successfully.

'It's a pity that I couldn't see the Black Sword boss here. '

Silica thought with some regret. She had always been looking forward to the true strength of the black sword boss who was known as the strongest first-order man and sold her several pieces of powerful green equipment on the battlefield.

"I feel that War World is not as scary as the leader said. Is the leader making too much of a fuss?"

A young contractor wearing a golden-red robe was muttering to the side. Silica looked over and remembered that the other party seemed to be a first-level contractor from the Blazing Gold Order.

Although she somewhat agreed with the other party's statement, Silica did not come forward to strike up a conversation because she was not familiar with him. Instead, she looked at the companion in front of her.

"Speaking of it, Lucy, there were many times before..."

Hum rumble——!
Just when Silica was about to exchange a few words about her feelings with her companions, she suddenly felt a violent shaking on the ground beneath her feet.

"What happened?"

"There was an earthquake?" "I don't know."

"Wait...look over there!!"

A confused voice sounded from the battlefield, and then, someone shouted in terror. The eyes of all the first-order contractors present were immediately attracted.

That is……

Silica looked at the scene in front of her, her breath suddenly suffocated, and a strong sense of fear suddenly appeared on her face.

Not only her, but almost all the contractors present had the same reaction at this moment.

About two kilometers away from them, dark figures emerged from the horizon.

Fazheluo, King Kong, Bergka, Kuadoliga...

A completely uncountable number, the wild gods all over the mountains and plains lined up neatly and walked on the ground. They didn't even glance at them, and walked straight into the distance amidst the trembling of the earth.

Pfft!
There were sounds of falling to the ground, and a faint fishy smell began to permeate the battlefield.

These first-order contractors who not long ago thought that the world of war was nothing more than this, now one by one, as if they were surviving a disaster, were slumped on the ground, so scared that they did not dare to breathe.

Although no one explained it, everyone present vaguely understood one thing:

The war they experienced was probably nothing more than a small fight.

——The war in this world is far from over!

……

　I caught up... Although my stomach still hurts, I have been relatively free these past two days, so there shouldn't be any big problem with the update, but I may have to forgive you for the word count.
