Abstraction for a bad world

Chapter 217: Purity is Power, Humorous Mass Production of Angels (4k)

"Hidden stage?"

Yuan Qingzhuo slowly read the new prompts, then suddenly smiled: "It's obviously just an ordinary audition, how come there are so many weird things?"

Obviously, the story could have ended here and moved on to the next round of the Martial God Festival, saying that it would have given the people of Mercury Sky a beautiful and happy life and that would have been the end of it...

Although from his point of view, he definitely doesn't want to just let it go like this - but this is not the same for other "normal" contestants.

Now, the remaining contestants have to continue.

It also blocks the retreat route to the next round.

It's like telling them: either live hard or die easily.

"——It seems that guy really likes the feeling of everyone performing a stage play."

Yuan Qingzhuo twisted his neck and looked up: "But, this is exactly what I want."

Timothy, who was not far behind him, woke up from his dream and asked subconsciously, "Who?"

"Who else could it be?"

Yuan Qingzhuo asked back, looking at the stars that were still flickering only at this moment.

—Who else could it be other than the witch who loves to witness the trials and tribulations of others?
He thought that in the future, the stars in the sky would gradually disappear and finally turn into a deep darkness.

If there had not been a scarlet sun rising from the ground, the sky he saw at the beginning would have been without a trace of light.
.
at the same time.

Breaking through the top of the watchtower in the clouds, Vicchi, who was stunned by the change in the speed of time, finally stopped the almost non-stop construction of the spell in his hands.

"Is it over..."

Feeling the huge gap that the construction speed was not even one percent of what he had imagined, Vic showed a slightly disappointed expression.

The feeling that time accelerated as a few seconds seemed like several days and nights in my subjective consciousness was over.

"What a shame."

Is that the exhilarating time when I could unleash thousands of spells in an instant and put countless theories in my mind into practice in an instant coming to an end?

If the time could be doubled, maybe I could take this opportunity to experience the feeling of breaking through to the Core Casting Stage.

Ha, it’s time to be content.

Vichi calmly put down the staff in his hand and looked towards the other side of the horizon:

"What will the abyss that has yet to come be like... huh?"

"Calculation of good and evil values?"

Before she could see the new prompt, Vina, who was standing next to the execution platform, stood there in a daze.

Memories and emotions that had not been processed in the past few months flooded into her mind, causing the white-haired knight to stand there in a daze, like a straight pillar.

Killing, begging for mercy, crying, regret, justice, right and wrong...

At this moment, countless conversations and thoughts were transformed into Vina's memories, and were all accepted by the knight who accepted everyone.

My "core" turns out to be like this...

The white-haired knight stood solemnly, and without any warning, he fell into a long process of rank breakthrough.
.
"Breakthrough?"

Andesia, who was on his daily patrol on the city wall, looked towards the execution platform in the center of the royal city, blinked twice and said nothing more.

This is a good thing.

And now the newly emerging rules can effectively drive away possible deserters...which is also a good thing.

So these are all the same as the previous time acceleration, no need to worry about them.

Andesia stared at the royal city, which was now several times more stable and powerful than it had been a few months ago, but there was not even a trace of relief in his eyes.

This level... is far from enough.

“It’s really difficult.”

Recalling the military formation in his previous life that could be swallowed up by the waves of the abyss in an instant, Andesia couldn't help but sigh.

Can the remaining three or four contestants, big and small, really offer any effective resistance to the upcoming situation?
he does not know.

Andesia only knew that a Paladin must fulfill his duties as a Paladin.
.
In the wilderness that has turned into a sticky black wilderness, surrounded by many howling and twisted erosion species, a ragged, staggering little girl is walking, rubbing her eyes.

"Good and evil value calculation? What is the good and evil value?"

Muttering in confusion, Binge Eating actually couldn't remember what happened during that long period of time - it was nothing more than eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating. This kind of thing that looked exactly the same every day really didn't need to take up memory.

As for gluttony, her clearest memory was that an angel was making a fuss in her stomach for a long time, and to be honest, the fire even burned her.

Puff~
The white and tender little feet stepped into the sticky black mud, and Gluttony grimaced in shock, exposing his sharp canine teeth to the air: "Damn! What the hell is this place? Why is the Abyss so polluted? Are the Tech Zerg coming to attack us?"

He vomited at the mud rolling under his feet, shook his head with gluttony, and threw away all the dull sleepiness in his consciousness.

Then, several huge eyes appeared on the abdomen and back.

She looked in all directions.

"Ugh... why are they all hopeless corrosive species? They all taste like garlic and get stuck in my teeth."

Because the appetite she had just woken up from sleep disappeared immediately, she raised her delicate eyebrows and warned with a serious face: "You disgusting erosion species, listen to me!"

Gluttony put his hands on his hips and shouted in a commanding manner: "Get out of my sight now! I don't want to eat disgusting things like you!"

"Hooho..."

What responded to her was a series of irregular roars and screams.

Those eroding species excitedly rushed towards the only living being within a hundred miles. From a distance, it looked like a wave formed by broken limbs.

The girl covered her face helplessly - it seemed that it was impossible to make these brainless monsters understand the difference between strength and weakness just by talking.

At least not her.

"Looks like my mouth is going to be full of garlic again."

Gluttony exhaled helplessly, moved the apple muscles on both sides of his cheeks, and slowly grinned.

Enjoying the changes in his body texture caused by the thick and lusty abyss, Gluttony happily swelled his body, then lowered his eyes and looked down at the little guys rushing towards him:

"Come, see if you can let me eat half full."
.
[Calculating good and evil values...]

[Since your goodness value is judged as "extreme", the impact of abyssal erosion will be reduced by 70%, the recovery speed of injuries will be doubled, and the recovery speed of spiritual essence will be doubled...]

[Since your evil value is judged to be "extreme", you are given the title "Red". ]

【…】

The cheerful female voice brought Caroline back to her senses from her trance and confusion.

The drowsy dragon girl was unable to think, and her body's instinct made her turn around and kick three huge dog heads to pieces.

Then, he leaned back to avoid the strong acid that came from nowhere, and then found the opponent in an instant, took a step, and burned the slime-like monster to death.

"How long...has it been..."

Caroline opened her eyes tiredly, and the weak flames removed the turbidity in her pupils. Taking advantage of the gap when there was no attack from the erosion species, the dragon girl slapped herself hard.

Savoring the iron taste in her mouth, Caroline finally came back to her senses.

She looked around, then frowned silently.

Because I have no idea how much time has passed.

The fortress is still dilapidated, the wilderness is still uninhabited, the sky is still dark, and the earth is still lifeless.

Even if someone had told her only ten minutes later, Caroline might still believe it.

It was also impossible to tell from the number of Erosion Species corpses—because every time Caroline killed an Erosion Species, she would subconsciously use her spiritual essence to burn the other party to ashes.

This is not only to finish off the enemy and prevent them from being resurrected, but also to show the last bit of respect for these corrupted ones.

Standing on the ground that was almost the same as the original, but much lower, Caroline stretched casually:
"Forget it. I don't want to bother with such trivial matters."

Yes, it’s still a small matter.

Because the passage of time meant nothing to Caroline—ten minutes, so what? Ten years, so what?
She only knew that the purpose of her coming here was to share the pressure of wearing a crown on someone's head.

And now, I am doing this.

That's it.

So as long as you can hold on, just keep holding on.

After a few seconds, Caroline opened her mouth slightly again, her eyes seemed a little dull, and the corrosive species attacking her not far away turned into double images, and then began to overlap.

Within two seconds, the dragon girl reacted, rubbed her cheeks, and took a deep breath.

——But if this continues, I will probably die here soon.

How to deal with this situation?
Then, memories of the past began to emerge.

[“What is the true sublimation stage?”]

[“It means to possess a true ‘pure soul’ without a trace of impurities.”]

You can be promoted to the sublime stage, the sublime stage that Yuan Qingzhuo mentioned.

[“If we don’t have the help of the giant ritual, then when we advance to the sublimation stage, our soul strength will be several times, ten times, or even a hundred times weaker than that of a normal promoted person.”]

【“But, Caroline.”】

【“You need to figure out one thing.”】

[“The power of a pure soul does not lie in its quantity, but in its utmost purity and singleness.”]

The purest and cleanest, the most refined and unique.

There is no need for the help of those giant rituals, nor is there a need to waste time and energy on trapping yourself in a long, immobile "advanced state".

Without any external means, one can obtain a pure soul without a trace of impurities.

Purity means power.

[“But if there is no ritual guidance and assistance, how can we advance?”]

[“I think this shouldn’t be difficult for you.”]

He said, this is not difficult for me.

That certainly won’t be difficult.

Caroline raised her sharp red vertical pupils, and a dark purple flame was burning in them.

The next moment, the dragon girl, whose mind was clearer than ever before, casually threw her soul, which was much heavier, purer, more tenacious and indomitable than that of an ordinary person, into the rising flames.

“It hurts so much…”

Caroline pursed her lips, but then she raised the corners of her mouth and laughed: "But it's better if it hurts a little. If it doesn't hurt, I'll almost forget who I am."

The fire of the soul is fueled by strong emotions.

If you want to burn and polish your soul all the way to the sublime stage, then you need to have continuous emotions.

As for how to stimulate emotions...

“Aren’t there a lot of them here?”

Caroline raised her eyes, staring at the endless darkness, and suddenly laughed softly:
"I don't want to die..."
.
"In short, we need to be prepared."

Yuan Qingzhuo looked at Timothy, who had just recovered, and asked him, "How is the progress of the mass production angel plan that I mentioned earlier?"

"previously?"

Timothy blinked, and the confused memory made him squint and remain silent for a while. After a long while, he slowly replied: "Regarding this, mass production can be done, but the finished product is relatively... um..."

Quite humorous.

Yuan Qingzhuo thought this was probably what Timothy wanted to say.

【Mass Production Angel】plan.

According to my memory, this should be the concept first proposed by Yuan Qingzhuo - to use the will of martial arts as the basis to allow ordinary civilians with the mentality of ordinary angels to be directly transformed into real angels.

Because the very first "angels" valued the mentality of ordinary people who were "angel reserves" more than talents such as spiritual perception and the ability to learn rituals.

But the cost of this inexplicable transformation is sky-high. Even if you bring in a hundred Yuan Qingzhuo, they may not be able to transform an ordinary person.

So Yuan Qingzhuo found Timothy and Vicci and discussed the possibilities with them in detail.

Timothy seemed confused at first, but when Vickey heard it, his eyes lit up.

Therefore, in the past few months, in addition to practicing his own use of the technique, Vic also spent a large part of his time studying the possibilities of "transformation" and "mass production".

In fact, he did it.

As the new generation of Rohrshid with the most knowledge and the strongest ability, and with several top magazines under his belt, there is no reason why Vic couldn't accomplish this task with the almost unreasonable assistance of "Martial Arts Will".

But as for the actual effect... we can only say that it is indeed "mass production of angels".

Indeed, hundreds of angels can be created in a day.

But this "Angel"...

Timothy would like to call them head deliverymen with a halo light bulb on each head, white wings, and the ability to glide at low altitude.

This was because not only did these angels have pitifully small reserves of spiritual energy, but even their physical fitness was only about 20% stronger than before.

“It’s pretty good to be able to do this in a few months.”

At least, it makes the transportation of materials a little faster, right?

Thinking of this, Yuan Qingzhuo lowered his eyes, and the surging will of martial arts surged like waves throughout the entire royal city.

What else can I do now?
