Origin Paradise!

The World Tree reverted to its seedling form, Freya's aura plummeted, and her newly acquired Hero status vanished. Sensing her weakness, she turned pale, but before losing everything, she mobilized the power of heaven and earth and unleashed another arrow.

Sky-level Secret Technique: Arrow of Life.

The power of heaven and earth has an indescribable destructive force on lower-level beings.

But Jiang He's mere gaze was enough to shatter the Arrow of Fate.

—The gods move with the heavens, and the gods fall from the heavens.

The ultimate ability obtained when the mythical form is complete is to cancel the power of heaven and earth at the peak of the hero's life and isolate the power of world destiny from those of equal or lower rank.

"how come……"

Freya landed back in the Sanctuary.

The attack from the Lord of Hell arrived in an instant.

The silver dragon spear pierced Freya's chest, and Jiang He lifted it high, the extremely powerful killing intent extinguishing any remaining life force.

Defeat was inevitable, and death was imminent.

Just as Freya was about to give up, she suddenly remembered the oath she made with her companions. As the soul of the goddess of fate, she had an unwavering commitment to her oath.

"Please, don't kill me."

A pleading expression appeared on Freya's cold and beautiful face.

"Is that so?" Jiang He sheathed his spear.

Freya staggered and fell to the ground, blood gushing from her wounds. If it weren't for the Forest Authority maintaining her last bit of life, she would have died.

Jiang He casually said, "But according to you, I seem to be some kind of great demon that must be eliminated."

Fate and vows clashed, and Freya was caught in a great inner struggle, but the faces of her companions flashed by one by one.

She gritted her teeth and said, "I want to live!"

“I find it hard to forgive someone who was an enemy just a moment ago,” Jiang He said. “You have to choose.”

The Duel Realm vanished without a trace.

After a long pause, Freya suddenly gave a bitter laugh. She remembered her identity as an elf of a different race and said, "Master."

She lay prone on the ground, her rounded curves clearly visible.

"Please forgive me."

Jiang He stomped on Freya's head, burying her in the ground, but even with this deliberate humiliation, Freya's determination to "live on" remained unwavering.

"What happened! The Queen has been defeated?"

"Freya...is kneeling and begging for mercy?"

"My queen, commit suicide!"

The stands were in an uproar. The Emperor and Vigrid were both astonished. According to their judgment, even if Freya failed to advance, she should have died in battle. Now, even if she survived, she would only suffer.

Some people in the capital were heartbroken. The Elf Queen was of a different race, and now that she had acknowledged Prince Augustus as her "master," her future status would be that of a servant, with no freedom left. And Prince Augustus was so powerful that they were powerless to resist.

"Freya..."

The brave warrior clutched his chest in anguish; his heart was bleeding. Prince Augustus, according to the Seven Gods' propaganda, was nothing short of a lecherous demon who indulged in nightly revelry.

He didn't even dare to think about Freya's fate.

Behind the gilded fence, Mirai Kamishiro's eyes were dark. It was clear that her senior had found a new toy, and a trace of jealousy rose in her heart.

"The ultimate victor of the Holy Tournament, Prince Augustus!"

On the golden battlefield, Jiang He slit his wrist, golden blood flowing out. Freya struggled, but ultimately tilted her head back and drank it down. In the feedback of fate, this blood was full of deadly poison.

[Hint: Number of war victories +1 (7/9)]

As the sacred tournament concluded, the entire capital city population rose to applaud. Regardless of their inner thoughts, paying tribute to the victor was an imperial custom.

“I choose to initiate the sacred treaty,” Jiang He said.

"Then we'll have to wait until tomorrow." The wolf glanced at the setting sun that was about to disappear behind the mountain and said menacingly, "I hope you can survive tonight."

As promised to the Emperor by Duke Vigrid, the faith war between the Church of Conquest and the Church of the Seven Gods will begin tonight.

At the top of the gilded fence, the emperor sent someone to deliver the imperial emblem. The top three in the Holy Tournament automatically became the commanders of the ten central legions. Jiang He and Freya were granted command of the sixth and seventh legions, respectively.

……

Medici Castle at night.

Jiang He teleported his mount, the Crimson Queen Dragon, into the Celestial Realm of Gluttony World. The Dragon God Guardian - Evil Knights Order would need a large number of dragons to fill its ranks in the future.

He then looked at the item as a mission reward. It was shaped like a Rubik's Cube, and when unfolded, it resembled a castle. It possessed the same level of sturdiness, was equipped with a fixed elemental cannon, and could transform into special modes such as a warship, a fortress, an arena, and a training camp.

Jiang He decisively activated the warship mode and fed it to the Saint Lilith. According to the usual promotion practice, with one more sub-legendary warship, the Saint Lilith could be promoted to a legendary warship.

Outside the bedroom, Mirai Kamishiro knocked on the door.

"Senior, is Freya in the room?"

Jiang He ignored the other party and activated the final time loop, restoring Freya, who was kneeling in front of the chair, to her peak heroic state. At the same time, a thorn wrapped around her swan-like neck.

"Okay, get ready to come out with me."

"Yes."

Freya tilted her head back, raised her slender hand to wipe the corner of her mouth, her face somewhat numb. She knew that Augustus was training her endurance and cultivating loyalty, but if she wanted to survive, she could only silently endure it, all for the sake of her oath to her comrades.

When Mirai Kamishiro pushed open the door, there was no one inside. She smelled the familiar scent that filled the air, her expression somewhat lost. What was once her precious possession was now being enjoyed by someone else.

"Eleanor, if only you were here."

……

The capital city remains brightly lit even under the cover of night.

But on the streets, warhorses were riding.

The Second and Third Legions, with 20,000 men each, imposed a curfew on the capital. Golden Castle was completely closed, and the Dragon Family sacrificed half of the Empire's faith to shroud the streets of the capital to prevent massive casualties.

In front of the Medici Castle.

Brave Xin and his two companions exchanged a glance and made up their minds. Because of the Church of Destiny, the Seven Gods Cult knew of the existence of the Destiny Squad and had provided a lot of help. They should have helped tonight, but Freya was trapped in a prison, so they could only rescue her first and then think about other things.

“We can’t wait any longer. The sun will set in two hours, and I’m afraid Freya might meet with something bad,” said the brave Xin.

The dwarf chieftain hesitated, "Prince Augustus shouldn't kill Freya, otherwise he would have done so in the Imperial Arena. At most..."

The dwarf chieftain didn't finish his sentence. The inviolable Elf Queen had fallen into Augustus's hands, and her fate was self-evident. After all, the decadence of the imperial nobility was well-known, and the imperial people never regarded other races as human.

Because she had sworn allegiance to a master during the duel, Freya was now considered spoils of war and a servant, rendering even the action permit obtained by the Fate Squad meaningless.

“Freya will live on,” said the Bishop of Fate. “Our God descended to earth to fight against the darkness, placing destiny and oath above all else. She will live until the day the Great Demon is destroyed.”

"We must take action to save Freya."

The hero Xin gripped his sword tightly.

The Bishop of Fate sighed and nodded; he, too, did not wish to see the gods insulted.

Under the cover of night, the three walked along the street wall. The magnificent Medici Castle came into view. Moonlight shone down, and a sharp edge came. The dwarf chieftain stepped forward and blocked with his shield, sparks flying.

"No unauthorized actions are allowed."

The Shadow Saint Belladonna has arrived.

In a soul contract unknown even to the gods, a new obligation requires her to obstruct the Fate Squad, or else she must repay with her soul.

"Miss Donna, please don't stop us."

The brave warrior Xin had a resolute expression, holding his sword in both hands.

no answer.

Belladonna charged forward, and as the Shadow Scythe clashed with the Hero's Sword, the two chosen ones intertwined to create a massive vortex of destiny, immediately attracting the attention of the Cult of the Seven Gods.

The Sage of Destiny and the Sage of Shadow arrived together, accompanied by several Saint-level chief archbishops. In a sense, both of the Chosen Ones of Destiny belonged to the Seven Gods Cult.

"Do not substitute military force for wisdom," said the Sage of Destiny.

"You should say those things to her..."

The moment the dwarf chieftain turned around, Belladonna activated the Faith Dagger given to her by the God of Shadows, the tip of which pierced the chieftain's heart, killing him instantly.

“I have no choice,” Belladonna said coldly.

No one expected that she would actually do it for real.

"Do not!!!"

The brave warrior roared with all his might.

"You actually...you actually dared to kill him!"

Wow!

More than a dozen Saint-level soul shadows detached from the sword's edge, and the soul reflections left behind by heroes of past generations were activated. In the eyes of the enraged hero Xin, Belladonna became even more hateful than Augustus.

The Shadow Sage suddenly attacked the Fate Sage.

The latter was shocked and angry, and said, "Don't let fate influence you."

The Shadow Sage sneered: "And then watch the saints die? You're questioning my faith in God!"

Saints are those who act on behalf of the will of God.

The civil war within the Seven Gods Cult had now fully erupted.

……

On the clock tower of the capital.
