The heavy snow continues.

Jiang He looked up at the night sky.

He stood there for fifteen minutes, and when midnight arrived, the time loop was replenished.

Jiang He killed the Dragon King and sealed him away.

During this period, the entire Rock King City was operating at high speed. Seven hundred thousand gold coins were sold to the Storm Church in exchange for soul silver coins. The Pirate Royal Court contributed its profits over the years, barely managing to scrape together three hundred thousand gold coins. In the pirate tribe, such things were far less valuable than daily necessities.

Millions of soul coins were fed to the puppet man in the underworld.

The third Sanctuary Puppet was created.

Swordsman - Hand of the King.

"The North is due for a change of ownership, but we must be careful about how we do it."

Jiang He pondered for a moment, then disappeared from the spot.

Chapter 639 The Great Sulfur Demon

Southern Continent, Elf Forest.

Unlike other churches, the Church of Destiny has established its headquarters in the Boundless Forest for hundreds of years and signed a symbiotic contract with the elves. However, believers outside the upper echelons are usually active in Elf City, a famous city in the southern continent, where various races can be seen everywhere on the streets.

When the Bishop of Fate fell, the Church received the news immediately, but due to the mysterious power of the murderer, all divination and prophecy were ineffective, and the bishops had no choice but to elect a new chief bishop.

In the wooden house perched on a treetop, an old woman sat at the head of the table. Her Saint-level power had reached the pinnacle of the mortal realm. As the new leader, she had a sword-shaped pattern between her brows and looked more like a gentle and kind nun than a chief bishop.

"The earth shakes and the sky rains; the land shoots arrows, scattering the enemy; it ignites many flames, causing them to be in turmoil; people will rise against people, and kingdoms against kingdoms; there will be famine and earthquakes—these are the beginnings of disasters."

“I looked and saw a grey horse, and the rider of it was called Death, who would kill a quarter of the earth with sword, famine, plague and wild beasts.”

"...God has not yet done what He promised. Some think that He is slow, but He is patient. For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."

The bishops of fate and the elven sanctuary sat in a circle, listening quietly to the great prophecy delivered by each new chief bishop upon assuming office.

In the central pool, a perfect figure bathed in light sleeps, possessing the power of the Forest Titan, the soul of the God of Fate, and the body of the Elf Queen. By divine permission, the Church of Fate and the Elves joined forces to create the "Weapon of Tribulation."

With the basic luxury of the "composition materials," the weapon of destiny will be restored to the peak level of heroes within half a year, and even the peak level of strong heroes. The elves and believers in destiny have a deep belief in destiny.

The old woman concluded, "At Ragnarok, a great demon of Hell will be born in sulfur and fire."

The bishops' faces paled slightly. Compared to a few years ago, the prophecy was even more cruel. The factors that would destroy the world were no longer singular. The strongest holy domain and the Bishop of Fate had died because of this. Unfortunately, their own side, who were best at prophecy, could not get the slightest accurate indication.

"We must form a demon-slaying team to fight for hope."

The old woman's eyes gleamed as she gazed at the perfect body reflected in the pool.

In this world's time scale, not long ago the End Players team was wiped out. The End Battlefield relayed the news, and the high-ranking players notified the Church of Temperance on Heavenly Star. The Church of Temperance felt somewhat troubled by the sin of gluttony, which had become the king of the era, and sent an experienced nun instructor.

There is a limit to the number of times the gods can descend into the world, and this is also the territory of the battlefield. The deployment of heroes and elites has already done its best, but based on the experience last time, the higher-ups of the Temperance Church do not believe that the Sister Instructor can kill Gluttony alone, so they can only take other routes.

As for suppressing oneself and forcibly descending.

There are no overlord-level life forms.

There is one powerful life form, but it is already at a high level.

The old woman sighed softly. If it were during the height of justice, and news of the birth of the sin of gluttony were received, the Church of Temperance would surely have charged forward one after another. But everything will decay, just like death and original sin; this is an eternal and unchanging law.

After a while, the figure in the pool stood up. A bohemian-style off-white dress covered her body. She had a perfect face and body, but her eyes were cold and confused. Her long platinum blonde hair fell naturally, full of feminine beauty.

"Freya, your name," the old woman said, taking out a Saint-level Destiny Crystal, which could be used to artificially create a Child of Destiny in a fourth-order world.

The Elf Kingdom's strongest warrior captain spoke up: "The hero will choose a human to facilitate his activities within the Empire. The Church should send a powerful archbishop to accompany him. The Dwarf Kingdom has sent the chief of artisans, an alchemy master with Saint-level combat power."

The four-person emergency response team is protected by two Saints, guided by the Hero of Destiny, and Freya will serve as the final trump card, responsible for ending the world-destroying factor born from sulfur and fire.

"I hope it will succeed," the old woman murmured.

……

It was the end of October in the 265th year of the Divine Calendar.

The death of the strongest Saint in battle outside the borders caused a huge uproar in the Holy Empire. Saints who had fought against the old swordsman were all terrified, and ordinary Great Knights could not even comprehend the power of the "King's Sword".

The Holy Emperor, who had not made a public appearance for a long time, personally issued an investigation order, ordering the newly established Imperial Assassination Squad to conduct a full investigation into the matter.

Augusta Fortress, a fortified city in the North.

In the study, Jiang He extracted the extraordinary factors from the Dragon King and made the Dragon King Elixir, which he then fed to Zhuang Ya. A peak Hero level was not enough for the little girl to advance, since even a Dragon Blood Hunter could not inherit 100% of the power, and losses were inevitable.

Theoretically, killing the Nine-Headed Serpent would be possible, but considering the indigenous beliefs of Serpent Island and the plan to use the Holy Grail to create sub-legendary beings of faith, now is not the time to act. However, Zhuang Ya's advancement is inevitable before the end of the world of gods, because the dragon family still exists.

In the glow of the Blood Hunter, Zhuang Ya draws upon the power of the dragon race.

As her blood boiled, her hair grew thicker, shimmering with a silvery sheen and a scaly texture. Her golden vertical pupils were relatively indifferent, and silver scales grew on her skin, distributed on her shoulders, back, waist, and abdomen, like a beautiful and close-fitting suit of armor.

After completing a portion of the extraordinary genes, Zhuang Ya sprouted enormous wings on her back, her skeletal structure clearly visible, covered by a tough membrane, and a silver dragon tail extended from under her skirt, ending with sharp barbs.

Jiang He picked up the little girl and examined her for a while. The dragon's powerful body and strength made Aya more inclined to be a warrior. Her current strength was slightly better than that of the Storm Bishop, but there was still a considerable gap between her and the old swordsman who had just died.

“Petrochemical powers are not really suitable for you.” Jiang He said with a rare hint of regret, “The conditions were indeed limited at the time.”

Zhuang Ya shook her head; she didn't care about any of that.

Jiang He put the little girl down, and after killing the Dragon King, the Executor's exclusive side quest was completed. He received experience points, game currency, and skill scrolls.

[Name: The Devil's Pact of Delusion]

[Category: Active Skill]

[Quality: Sub-Legendary]

[Effect: The devil can enter into a fair, even generous, contract with the target, providing power, knowledge, resources, and solutions to predicaments. The terms of the contract are drafted by the user, who has the final right of interpretation (the target cannot see the terms of the contract).]

When the target receives the "benefits" promised in the contract, the contract takes effect and a corresponding obligation must be fulfilled. The standard for "fulfillment" does not depend on the surface terms, but on the devil's inner judgment as the sole reference factor. If the obligation is not fulfilled, the target becomes a debtor and needs to fulfill double the number of the initial obligations.

For debtors, the devil can choose to "collect debts" at any time: forcibly extract one of the target's "debts" (extraordinary abilities, talents, destiny, personal weapons, soul self, etc.), or choose to force "bankruptcy" and solidify the target's soul evolution crystallization.

After the initial investment amount is reached, due to the devil's gift, those with higher returns (the greater the improvement in life level) will have a deeper degree of soul solidification and higher quality soul crystallization at the time of bankruptcy.

[Note: Loan sharks from hell]

Jiang He thoughtfully sensed the Hellish Loan Shark ability, which could accelerate his progress towards becoming a Grandmaster of Gunslinging.

……

The North, Shattered Reef City.

This is the largest city closest to the core city of Greenwood. It once belonged to the Shattered Reef family. To the north lies the Whispering Forest, so there are many adventurers here. One of the largest adventurer guilds in the North is located here.

With a flash of light, the King of the Wild Hunt set foot on the land of the North for the third time. Snowflakes danced in the sky, drawing the attention of the Shadow Saint who was traveling with him. He had lived in the South since childhood and rarely saw the world covered in white.

“Wild Hunt, the agreed-upon tavern is directly ahead,” the Shadow Saint said, withdrawing his gaze.

Jiang He nodded and stepped forward, wearing an alchemical mask with an ouroboros pattern on his face, which concealed the blood-red face of the former knight. The war between the North and South continents was approaching, and the rebel army headquarters was preparing to relocate.

Under orders from higher-ups, the Saints assassination squad was mobilized to launch probing attacks on the North, West, and East, intending to create rebellion to select a suitable relocation location.

At this juncture, the Dragon Commander is in charge of the war, the Emperor is old and indifferent to world affairs, and the main opponent of the rebel army is the Church of the Father, which is a conflict between monotheistic and polytheistic religions.

The two arrived at the tavern, where a tall, middle-aged man was giving a passionate speech. His unique charm-type guardian spirit made his words full of hints and guidance.

There is more than one path to truth!

"Even the Heavenly Father has original sin!"

"Destroy the Temple of the Heavenly Father, expel the First Princess, and restore the glory of the Green Forest Family!"

The adventurers immediately became agitated, spilling drinks everywhere. Some even stood on the table and shouted loudly. Unlike the others who had been bewitched, the leader of the Adventurers' Guild was very clear-headed, but he knew that the Princess would eventually set her sights on the profits from the Whispering Forest.

"Kill the eldest princess!"

The president angrily grabbed a barmaid and slammed her to the ground, his face contorted in rage.

"Kill the eldest princess!" the adventurers roared.

In the corner, the Shadow Saint said, "Wild Hunt, our mission is to target the First Princess and the Imperial officials. We should still show some respect to the Green Forest family who believe in the secret language."

Jiang He gave a perfunctory "hmm". The Holy War Army is backed by the Ten Churches. Now that the "Dragon Descendants" are gone, the Green Forest Family are believers of the Secret Language and are essentially allies. The Holy War Army's real enemies are the Father Church and the Imperial Court. In a sense, the rebellion is a conflict between the central government and the local authorities.

Crackling!

The adventurers rushed out of the tavern.

Shattered Reef was in chaos. Manors, farms, artisan workshops, taverns, and ballrooms were all in turmoil. One by one, veiled priests organized the people. The eldest son of the Marquis of Shattered Reef, who inherited the title, did not stop them, because he was one of the driving forces behind it. The First Princess ruled half of the North and occupied the lands of various families, so the nobles were undoubtedly dissatisfied with her.

Clearly, when the war had just begun, few people realized that it had already started.

At night, the old scholar of the Greenwood family produced the Duke's will, legitimizing the riot. The bloodline of the original rulers of the North was also dissatisfied with the eldest princess.

With the support of all parties, the Restoration Legion was established, with Shattered Reef II serving as the combat commander. Three counts, including Count Dragonstone, directly participated, and four knightly orders were assembled, along with a servant army composed of farmers, blacksmiths, and adventurers, numbering in the tens of thousands.

Night fell, and the army gathered.

The nobles, the Green Forest family, and the ten major churches came together for common interests.

……

In the tavern's stables, all the warhorses were led away.

The streets were filled with countless figures flickering in the firelight, the clash of swords echoing as an army of 14,000 launched an attack. Although the place was very close to Green Forest City, it was still a huge test for Shattered Reef II's abilities.

In the straw of the stable, the freckled girl rolled back and forth on the ground, her movements becoming smaller and smaller until she was on the verge of death. She was a barmaid at the tavern. Although the adventurer guild leader's angry slam had no intention of killing her, it easily shattered her internal organs.

"dying……"

"I'm dying……"

"Damn it, I'll kill you in my next life!"

The freckled girl's eyes were filled with hatred and pain. The adventurers' guild leader, Steel Sword, was a knight of great achievements. Even if she were now whole, she would still be nothing more than a roadside weed.

boom!

A distant gunshot rang in my ears.

The freckled girl Belladonna's eyes lost their luster, as if an arrow shot from nothingness had shattered her heart. A drop of crystal-clear, dazzling princely blood infused her body and soul, and her wounds began to heal. Her skin turned white, and her freckles gradually disappeared.

In an instant, three beams of light fell.

The first path is the destiny of the chosen ones in the world and the celestial beings, containing incredible and powerful fortune.

The second blessing came from a sub-legendary destiny power.

The third path is the fate of the method of change, and Belladonna will have the hope of growing to the level of a Blood Prince, that is, a hero elite, regardless of the cost.

In an instant, a prince in his juvenile form was born, and the heavy price of releasing the source blood was practically non-existent for him.

When Belladonna awoke, a powerful spiritual force, as strong as the entire harsh winter of the North, descended upon her. A parchment materialized before her, its dense patterns conveying information. The spiritual force, controlling her body and soul, directly signed a contract.

The forced contract from the devil has no regard for whether the contractor is willing or not. From the moment Belladonna was being watched, her fate was already sealed.

"I can gain power and a second life, but I need to fulfill my 'obligations' or I will become a debtor. There are hundreds of agreements, which should be considered rigorous."

"The obligation is to grow rapidly before the end of this war."

Belladonna looked ahead and saw a box of alchemical potions that looked very expensive, a black and sharp scythe that seemed to contain infinite devouring power, a black cloak comparable to the armor of a knight of great achievements, and some jewelry with special powers. Apart from her underwear, it contained almost everything, arming her to the teeth.

"Does the devil mean for me to fight in a vacuum?"

"Probably the legendary devil who controls lust."
