Zongman: Evolution Paradise

Overjoyed, Jeanne d'Arc suddenly stood up, her head hitting her Master's chin. She instinctively let out a groan and pulled back, only to bump into a low table with a splattering sound. After a moment of bewilderment, Jeanne d'Arc quickly covered her face with her hair.

Chapter 512 The Way of the Sword and the Way of the Slave

She silently got up and sat down obediently, unaware that a red mark had appeared on her face.

Saeko Busujima was trying to suppress her laughter, but Jolyne finally broke the silence.

"Is it really possible to master the soul system?"

"That's very worrying."

"Hurry up and pretend nothing happened!"

Joan of Arc was filled with shame and anger.

Since the Soul path sounded like an obscure and unpopular path with little presence, I couldn't help but feel a little upset when I learned that I could only choose the Soul path. However, my grievances had only been brewing for a short while when they turned into a great joy, and I got so carried away that I didn't notice that I bumped into the table...

As everyone knows, when a friend is in trouble in front of you, any explanation is superfluous. Jeanne d'Arc put all these reasons behind her and moved her buttocks to pounce on her Master, intending to commit adultery. However, before she could even take two bites, she was subdued by Jolyne with one hand because of her childlike figure.

Hmm... being held and lifted into the air.

"You, you put him down right now!"

Joan of Arc waved her arms and legs, steam rising from her head, and her adorable blushing face made Saeko Busujima feel a surge of maternal love.

"So cute."

Jolyne was generous with her praise, and when she heard it, Joan of Arc's movements became lighter. She avoided looking into her Master's eyes and, after being put down by Jolyne, she did not return to his embrace but sat down alone.

Holding a cup of red tea to ward off the heat, she pretended to have forgotten what had just happened and said, "Although the Dragon Shepherd Witch and the Heart-Slaying Sword Demon cannot take up their posts yet, Saeko and I are guardian spirits, and we can prepare to transform our own energy into the power of the path."

There are nine realms in the path of enlightenment.

The difference between the first two realms is very small.

In the first stage, one stands before the steps to understand one's true nature. In the second stage, one chooses a long staircase to formally climb. In other words, as long as one climbs the path, one is in the second stage. The only difficulty in this step is to transform one's own energy into the power of the path.

The martial arts system is [Martial Arts True Essence].

The magical system is [Daoist Origin Pattern].

The soul system is [spirit, thought, and energy].

The Mechanical Engineering Department is [Universal Mechanical Force].

The Divine and Mysterious system is [Source Material Spiritual Energy].

of course,

These are all the names used by Baiyujing. The Temple of Freedom uses different terms. For example, they call the Dao Embryo Source Pattern of the magic system "Magic Core Magic Pattern".

How do I switch my energy?

Joan of Arc asked the Master.

“Chiba Zoo has relevant information.” Jolyne took out information on martial arts essence and spiritual energy from the workshop and handed it to the two girls. “If Saeko doesn’t understand any martial arts knowledge, she can ask Genten Lumo. That guy is at least a third-realm prodigy. As for knowledge about the soul system, she can only ask Nakano Maruo.”

"...Another expressionless face."

Jeanne suggested, "Why not tie another soul to the ship, like Yuan Tianlu Mo did?"

"What exactly did Black Sun do to you?"

Jolyne complained, but going to Nakano Maruo over such a trivial matter did seem rather hasty; after all, he was a strong person and deserved some respect.

Joan of Arc's proposal was barely approved, but finding a soul to bind was also a problem. Conquering the soul system could only be left to Joan of Arc alone for the time being, as her Moon World Origin Body was believed to have unlimited potential.

For the rest of the time, Jolyne drank afternoon tea and discussed future growth directions with the two women.

This can be seen from her professional book. Saeko Busujima is definitely a swordsmanship school, and swordsmanship schools are a large and diverse field with many different styles.

Sword energy, sword martial arts, sword immortals, sword formations...

According to the focus of cultivation, dozens of sword styles can be scattered around. It's clear that swordsmanship is too popular. It's impossible to take so many directions into account in serious cultivation at the same time.

After a moment's thought, Saeko Busujima temporarily chose two sword styles as her foundation.

Sword Warrior: Tempering physical strength through methods such as infusing sword energy into the body to forge an invincible sword body.

Swordsmanship: By learning a large number of sword techniques, one can continuously improve one's swordsmanship skills and pursue the ultimate level of swordsmanship.

The former is the recommendation from Chiba Zoo. Since you have chosen the path of martial arts, you must develop the physical advantages of martial arts, and strengthening your physical body is also the most important thing to break through the later realms of martial arts.

The latter is because the existence of workshops saves a lot of effort in training sword skills. Saeko Busujima herself is also the type who is good at using various sword techniques, and she can easily stand out among various schools.

Joan of Arc's choice was quite simple.

No matter how you look at it, she doesn't seem like a heartless older sister who can alter memories and manipulate people.

If the Soul System is a hypnotic phone, then Joan of Arc is the type who can aim at the enemy's head and throw this hypnotic phone to knock them unconscious; unpredictable methods are completely unsuitable for her.

Fortunately, Jeanne didn't need to rack her brains, because Kanoko had already written a standard answer for her using the job book [Dragon Shepherd Witch], which was the [Domination and Enslavement] effect that runs through all four talents of that job.

Dominate all things!

Enslaving all living beings!

The strength is self-evident; villains with dominance abilities all possess terrifying oppressive power.

These eight words alone are enough to keep Joan of Arc relevant from level one to level seven without her ever going out of style.

As for whether Joan of Arc was suitable?

Her innate talent as a dragon witch, capable of commanding dragons, has already proven her potential.

Most importantly, after reaching the fifth realm, Joan of Arc will obtain the Divine and Deceptive Path, which is practically synonymous with dominating all things and enslaving all beings.

After all, believers who worship God, angels who serve them, and the Kingdom of Heaven to which glory belongs—doesn't that sound like everything is controlled by God?

That's it—

Saeko's swordsmanship reached its pinnacle, and Jeanne d'Arc's slavery became divine!

As for Jolyne, he was drinking tea to clear his throat, and after talking so much, he was inevitably a little thirsty.

"It's decided, I will enslave all living beings!"

Joan of Arc, her eyes growing brighter with each thought, immediately decided to strive towards enslaving all living beings. However, as she said this, she frequently glanced at her Master, making Jolyne wonder what was going on in her mind. After all, Guardian Spirits cannot harm War Gods, and even if Joan of Arc cultivated the path of enslavement, she could not possibly enslave herself.

"Wait a moment!"

Jolyne suddenly realized something was wrong.

The Dao is a power that connects all methods, and the Martial God Body is naturally included within it. The Martial God Body's dominance over the Guardian Spirit is clearly the power of the Path of Slavery.

If Joan of Arc could truly cultivate the way of enslavement to the point of enslaving all living beings, wouldn't she be able to break free from the constraints of her warrior body, rebel against her superiors, and enslave her master instead?

"Dominate all things! Enslave all beings!"

Joan of Arc, unaware of his thoughts, took the initiative to extend the invitation to the ceremony while holding up her teacup.

"Sword shatters the heavens! Slaughter the mortal realm!"

Saeko Busujima then added.

"Uphold the Heavenly Kingdom! The Martial Saint of the Mortal World!"

Jolyne chuckled to herself.

So be it if she's enslaved. Anyway, the foolish Joan of Arc won't do anything. Even if she wants to keep me all to herself, the others will come to my rescue.

Chapter 513 A Chaotic Dream

"Master, I want to enslave you!"

"I am the Heart-Slaying Sword Demon! Anyone who displeases me can be killed with a single sword strike. Do not harbor any ulterior motives!"

"Those who betray me shall be pierced through the heart by a reverse blade!"

"You want war! Then I'll give you war!"

"Go to hell, my great Darwin!"

"Lord Jolyne is truly powerful."

"Xiao Lun, you should call me 'older sister'~"

“Angels do not enter this corrupt world, but your filthy light is a glory that can burn away wings with a single glance.”

"Please, my lord, die with me."

The chaotic sounds surged in like a tide, shaking the rotten wooden door until it was about to collapse. The disordered images in his mind were like an overturned paint bucket, splashing a crazy oil painting as it hit the wall.

Jolyne felt like she was having a dream.

He dreamt that Chiba City was engulfed in flames, and that millions of wronged souls were dragged into the black fog by hooks and chains. He also dreamt that his own neck was enslaved by the grown-up Joan of Arc with chains.

He dreamt that he was sitting in heaven, but Esdeath beside him was more like a god. The decrees of the gods could never reach the ears of the believers. At one point, she even wore a noble chariot and spread her wings, causing heaven to fall.

He dreamt that Saeko Busujima was no longer gentle; her eyes held only pure madness and decisiveness. Behind her was the Shadow Dragon, instantly killed by a sword flash. As the dust settled, she turned back and raised her sword, aiming it at him.

He dreamt that the apartment's hot spring was filled with white mist, and he and the ghost stories were playing and frolicking inside. When he got tired, he fell asleep with two women on his left and right, but in his sleepy pupils, Medea holding a reverse blade was reflected.

Aside from these, the oil painting splattered with paint contains even more indistinct sounds and images. The only constant is that they all harbor a sincere and earnest murderous intent, and their drastically changed appearance makes them seem like they've entered menopause.

Jolyne's consciousness was throbbing, and just as she was about to break free from her ignorance and confusion, a giant blue wolf with wide-open eyes and a silly-looking appearance appeared. It fell from the sky and flattened its master with its rear end.

"hiss!"

Jolyne awoke with a start, the tail of the human-faced dog still unaware of what was happening, sweeping across his face from side to side.

"Hmm... Pearl people and other strange shrimp have been enjoying themselves for a long time."

"You should be careful about your canine teeth."

……

A storm was raging outside the window, and because of the sea salt ice cream in the rain, the air smelled sweet and made me want to stay in bed a little longer.

It was already close to noon.

Mrs. Yukino was still curled up in bed, her beautiful waistline like a delicate piece of jade. Because of her Yuki-onna constitution, she would experience heat every day. After having tasted the sweetness, she found it even harder to relieve herself. Last night, she came to the ship from her apartment, looking all coy. The pink heart in her pupils took a while to fade.

"Master~ Good morning, Yuzu~"

The human-faced dog, dressed in a blue and white maid dress with the fabric of the dress billowing high, happily wagged its tail as it handed its owner a change of clothes after a bath.

"I am not at peace."

Jolyne said irritably.

He vowed that he would never again let her into the house just because she gave him a pitiful look.

He tried to recall the dream, but found that, due to some unknown force, the details in the scene had begun to blur, leaving only some vivid sounds lingering in his mind.

If this happens, it goes without saying that there must be something seriously wrong with the dream you just had.

If it was because Saeko Busujima's Heart-Slaying Sword Demon, during her inauguration yesterday, sought to kill anyone or anything that displeased her, and Jeanne d'Arc, wielding the Dragon-Shepherd Witch, displayed a desire to enslave her Master, that Jolyne developed anxieties about being overthrown in the future, how could someone with his mental strength forget that?

Of course, the most crucial reason is:

"Why are there people I don't recognize here?!"

Joren sighed and complained.

Saeko Busujima, Jeanne d'Arc, Esdeath, and Medea are one thing, but Jolyne sometimes does worry that they might one day go to extremes and decide to rebel against her. It's not impossible that they might become radicalized in the future for some reason.

The reason why characters like Shizuka Marikawa, Mitsuri Kanroji, and Mrs. Yukino, who didn't dream about it, is simply because Jolyne couldn't imagine what they would look like when they turned evil.

What about the other blurry figures?

Do you know me, Jolyne?

Don't get involved in things that haven't happened yet!

Even movies know that the first option when traveling to the childhood of the ultimate villain is to reform them, not to kill them while they are still young. It would be too much to let strangers whose faces you can't even see clearly infiltrate the group.

At this moment, the human-faced dog, who wasn't entirely mistaken, looked at its owner with a serious expression and made a solemn promise.

"I'll pay attention to my canine teeth next time!"
