"Eastern Redemption: The Endless Tomorrow" has a serious writing style, a breath of fresh air among vulgar writers!

Chapter 49 Destruction of Civilization

The world's ordinary historical records can only be traced back to more than 5,000 years ago.

However, this is only what ordinary people know.

Those gods, immortal emperors, demons, and so on from the celestial realm, the divine realm, the underworld, and the immortal realm all existed before the so-called history of this world, and all of them have lived for thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years.

The true history is that this world has experienced several destructions of civilizations. Those heavenly courts, divine realms, underworlds, etc., were established by people or other intelligent beings who obtained knowledge of ancient civilizations.

The so-called sealed spaces also originate from the untraceable ancient civilizations, and these sealed spaces are also divided into many types.

Some well-preserved items containing knowledge of civilization possess astonishing value, while others are damaged and dangerous, such as the rift space that Rias is talking about now, which seals evil objects; if not handled properly, it could bring about a huge disaster.

This space seals away powerful beings from an ancient civilization. They were mad, chaotic, and evil, filled with hatred for life. Because they could not be completely killed at that time, they were sealed away using a special secret method, allowing time to diminish their power and obliterate their souls.

Jiang Jing saw these files on his phone, which were specifically given to him by Rias.

However, Jiang Jing had seen similar situations in many worlds, so although he found it somewhat interesting at first, he quickly forgot about it.

"Since it's a four-star level, why did the Heavenly Rank Awakened One in charge notify you, Minister? Can't he suppress the seal by himself?" Kiba asked, somewhat puzzled.

Because of the special nature of Awakened Ones, after breaking through the Silver Moon Rank and becoming comparable to Demon Kings or ordinary gods, they will be referred to as Heaven Rank beings and will be stationed in a branch of the Celestial Surveillance Association.

“If it’s just a matter of simple suppression and elimination, then it’s not necessary,” Rias said calmly.

"However, it's rare to find such good material this time. The military wants to use this evil creature to test new weapons and has applied for assistance from the branch office."

"Moreover, the Heavenly Awakened One guarding the Neon Branch this time is of the mental type, which makes him somewhat vulnerable to evil beings that require extreme attributes to obliterate the body and soul."

"So, for safety's sake, we've gathered four-star and above experts from Japan who aren't currently in the restricted area. Firstly, to be on the safe side, and secondly, to use us to cleanly dispose of that evil creature, so as to avoid leaving any remains that could cause an accident."

"Of course, this summons is not mandatory; you can choose to go or not," Rias explained in detail.

"Minister, are you going?" Kiba Yuto asked, his eyes gleaming with eagerness, as if he also wanted to go and see for himself.

“Go, Zhu Nai and I have never entered the forbidden zone before, and we have never seen a real evil creature in all these years. We can’t miss this opportunity with a Heavenly Rank Awakened being in charge, which is almost safe.”

"That……"

Rias, who knew his personality well, shook her head: "Yuto, you and Koneko can't go. The two of you are only high-level demons right now. If you directly face a four-star evil creature that is equivalent to the highest-level demon, you will be easily corrupted and eroded."

"Moreover, you two also have a mission. The seal is expected to break in half a month. In the next two days, as the seal gradually cracks, the leaked evil energy will cause some abnormal changes in the surrounding area."

"We don't yet know what type of evil creature it is or how contaminated it is, so we need to assist the association's branch office in monitoring the surrounding area to prevent any major incidents from getting out of control."

"Yes." Seeing that Rias had explained everything so clearly, Kiba Yuuto did not insist and nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Kanda, would you like to come along and take a look?" Rias asked Jiang Jing.

"Me? Didn't they say it would be dangerous for a three-star level person to go?"

Jiang Jing wasn't very interested. From these descriptions, he had already roughly guessed that the so-called evil thing was something like a chaotic, dark creature that pollutes everything.

"Your three-star status is just an identity I registered for you. Do you really think you are one?" Rias, who had roughly figured out that Jiang Jing wasn't interested in anything, said somewhat speechlessly.

Jiang Jing thought for a moment and didn't immediately refuse, saying, "We'll see when the time comes. I'll go if I have time."

"it is good."

After the discussion was finished, Rias stood up and tapped the wall, and a 3D projection map appeared on the wall behind her.

"These next few days, Kitten and Kiba will have to work a little harder. The area I'm assigned to guard is the region centered around Mizutaka, where strange things might happen."

Rias pointed to the cemetery park on Xiaohuashan Mountain in the district, the district's largest hospital, and other areas: "However, the mutation shouldn't be too strong. We can deal with it directly. Remember to take pictures with the mission camera so I can report it to you."

"Oh, by the way, I'm also one of the deputy directors of the suppression department at the Neon branch, but I usually don't get involved," Rias explained to Jiang Jing, who was unaware of the situation.

"I see." Jiang Jing nodded. "That explains why she was able to easily register an identity for him."

After finishing their tea and snacks, and having discussed their business, Jiang Jing took his leave.

When he arrived at the second-year art class, only Shiina Mashiro, who had not joined the club, was sitting quietly in front of the easel, painting.

Standing behind the girl, Jiang Jing remained silent, watching quietly.

At this moment, in Shiina Mashiro's hands, a brightly colored, fully blooming cherry blossom tree is half completed. The river scene in the background is very familiar; it is the train station where he picked her up back then.

Beneath a tree where pink cherry blossoms fluttered in the breeze, a girl sat sideways on a bench by the circular platform, looking up at the boy who approached her. The boy's lips were slightly parted as if he were speaking.

The faces of the girl and boy are somewhat blurry, not deliberately drawn clearly, but the few strokes give people a very realistic feeling.

The difference between colored oil painting and ink painting lies in the fact that one focuses on realistic depiction and the other focuses on capturing the essence and spirit of the subject; they are two different modes of expression.

Therefore, Shiina Mashiro's talent in oil painting could not be fully utilized in manga. Although her manga drawings were very exquisite, they always felt like something was missing, coupled with boring stories.

By the time Shiina Mashiro finished drawing, it was getting late, the sun was about to set, and the last soccer club on the playground was packing up to go home.

"It's very well drawn," Jiang Jing praised.

Although it couldn't compare to some of the works he had seen before that were created through painting, where the things they painted would seem to fly off the paper, it was still quite impressive for an ordinary high school student.

"Does Sorata like it?" Shiina Mashiro turned to look at Jiang Jing.

"Yes, I like it."

"I won't give it to you."

"...?"

Even Jiang Jing didn't understand the meaning behind Shiina Mashiro's words. He stood there watching Mashiro dry the painting and solemnly put it into her backpack.

"I'm going back, Sorata."

The two, who usually go straight home after school, made a rare exception today and stayed until the very end. After they left the school, the school security guard closed the gate.

"Oh... I feel a little envious of that Shiina-kun."

On the rooftop of the school's tallest building, Himejima Akeno and the others, with their hands on their stomachs, watched as Jiang Jing and his companion disappeared into the shade of the trees.

Rias, who had her arms crossed, blinked slightly upon hearing this, then said calmly, "Kiba, Koneko, I'll leave this to you. Akeno and I are going back to the Underworld to check some information and make some preparations."

"Yes, Minister."

P.S.: Second update! I'm updating early again today, so feel free to shower me with all your votes and criticisms! ^-^

Chapter 50 Pollution Mutation

It's late at night, and Jiang Jing is sleeping alone, which is rare for him to do tonight.

The white cat, Hikari, lay on his stomach, the black cat, Hope, slept next to his pillow, and the other five kittens squeezed onto his bed. It seemed that Shiina's absence made them very happy, and the sleeping cats' faces were full of human-like satisfaction.

But at that moment, Jiang Jing, who was in a deep sleep, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with light, and it seemed as if a blue lightning bolt flashed in the dark room.

Awakened by the disturbance, Jiang Jing did not get up. Instead, he turned his head to look southeast. His terrifying vision pierced through layers of buildings and landed more than ten miles away, at the location that Rias had marked as the Xiaohuashan Cemetery Park today.

Xiaohuashan Cemetery Park, though called a park, is actually a small hill over 80 meters high and covering an area of ​​ten square miles. It is a cemetery where the surrounding residents buried their dead.

At that moment, a rustling sound suddenly arose from the dark, gloomy, and eerily quiet desolate mountain graveyard, originating from the slope on the mountainside.

It was a fresh, earthy grave, surrounded by scattered white paper money, with fruit offerings in front of it, and it was a newly buried grave, only a day or two old.

At this moment, a hissing sound, like sharp blades scraping wood, came from inside the grave. It carried far into the night, making the already eerie atmosphere even more frightening and sending chills down one's spine.

At first, the sound of scraping wood was very quiet, but as time went on, the force inside grew stronger and stronger, and finally, accompanied by a cracking sound of the wooden plank breaking, the soil on the grave shook.

Then the digging speed suddenly increased, the sound became louder and louder, and they gradually got closer to the ground.

flutter!!

A bluish-black, withered, mud-covered hand suddenly emerged from the ground. The knuckles of the hand protruded, making it appear somewhat ferocious and twisted, and the long, claw-like nails at the fingertips gleamed with a metallic sheen.

boom! !

A dead body, dressed in a shroud, with bald hair, a withered and bluish-black face, and two faint horny hairs protruding from its forehead, resembling a vengeful ghost, struggled to crawl out from the ground.

After the contaminated and mutated corpse completely crawled out of the ground, its eyes, with only the whites showing, stared at the waning moon above, and it opened its mouth full of fangs, making excited hoarse sounds.

Just then, a beam of light appeared around the corner in the distance and shone on the terrifying face of the mutated corpse. The gravedigger holding the flashlight immediately widened his eyes, his mouth slowly opened, and a chilling coldness rose from his tailbone.

"Ghost...ghost..." A terrified, shrill scream came from the mouth of the short old man in his fifties. He was trembling all over, and his flashlight was so frightened that he dropped it to the ground.

Before the mutated corpse could pounce, the old man unleashed unprecedented speed, turned around, and ran frantically down the mountain, screaming "Ghost! Ghost!"

However, the mutated corpse did not chase after the old man. A look of fear appeared on its hideous face, and it let out a low growl in another direction.

"Is there only one corrupted ghoul here tonight?"

On a sparsely leafed tree, Kiba Yuuto stood with his arms crossed, coldly looking down at the mutated corpses below, their bodies corrupted by the virus: "They evolved into demons right after turning into zombies, and even possess simple intelligence. They can't be allowed to live."

Roar……

As if sensing the killing intent revealed by Kiba Yuto, the ghoul crouched down slightly, and its pair of withered and twisted claws, twice the length of a human, landed on the ground in an attack stance.

puff! !

Before Kiba Yuuto could make a move, the Shiki exerted force with its hind legs and dug into the ground with its claws, instantly creating four small pits.

The Shiki had already landed on all fours and leaped out like a cheetah. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a black shadow at an astonishing speed, crossing more than ten meters to appear under the tree where Kiba Yuuto was.

Then, the mutated creature grew sharp nails that landed on the tree trunk, shooting upwards as if it were tofu, its hideous face snarling as it pounced on Kiba Yuuto.

Clang!

Sparks flew as a heavy demonic sword suddenly appeared in Kiba Yuuto's hand, clashing with the demon claw and producing a metallic clang as it intercepted the demon claw.

But at that moment, a powerful force, like that of a charging elephant, came from Kiba Yuto's hand.

Bang! !

Unexpectedly, this mutated ghoul was so powerful. Kiba Yuuto's eyes narrowed slightly, and with a flick of his wrist, he used the force to leap dozens of meters high from the tree.

With a whoosh, demonic wings unfurled behind him. Kiba Yuuto coldly stared at the ghouls below, the shape of the demonic sword in his hand changing from a heavy, thick sword to a strange demonic sword with seven hollow holes on its back.

Whoosh!!

Black flames surged from the hollow back of the sword, burning on the demonic sword. Kiba Yuuto's demonic wings spread behind him, and he held the sword in both hands, the raging black flames engulfing his entire body.

Realizing something was amiss, he decided to avoid any accidents and unleashed his full power. Instantly, the sword energy in his hand surged, and he transformed into a fiery meteor, descending from the sky with a piercing whistle.
