Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 485 The End
The earth is in the wrong world, and the world tree is at its feet.

Dark red thunder continued to rumble in the sky, and pitch-black clouds gathered into a vortex, slowly spinning in the sky.

Under the depressing sky, a towering tree that is more than ten thousand meters high stands on the barren land full of bones. The yellowed leaves and roots with obvious signs of being eaten all tell the creatures who come here how bad the condition of this world tree is.

"Tsk tsk, the World Tree in this world is really unlucky. Every time it is reset, it has to be gnawed by the black dragon for several years, and it can't do anything."

Amid the howling gale, a somewhat teasing voice was heard, and a handsome blond young man was seen standing on the crown of the World Tree, which was showing signs of withering. He looked down at the doomsday scene in front of him and complained.

Then, the blond young man opened the contact list and sent a message:
……

Yamu: "I have been teleported here, how long will it take for you to arrive?"

Set Designer: “It will probably take another day or so.”

Yamu: "OK, I will start preparing the teleportation array, and the subsequent sealing will be left to you."

Set Designer: “No problem.”

……

"We can actually get there in one day? Oh, it looks like I can't be lazy anymore. I have to finish setting up the teleportation array as soon as possible."

The brief exchange was completed quickly. Yamu looked at the contents of the chat history, rubbed his eyebrows gently, and muttered something with a headache.

He originally thought that it would take the other party at least two or three days to arrive, but it turned out that they were able to cross the distance of 23 kilometers in one day. As a result, he had to work overtime to complete the task on his side.

——Otherwise, if he made a big promise and guaranteed that he could complete the preparations before the other party arrived, and the other party found out that he was just bragging, he could imagine what the guy would say with his toes.

"By the way, from this angle, this guy is really big!"

Yamu poked his head out and looked down from the tree canopy. When he saw the huge creature crawling and resting at the foot of the tree, he couldn't help but mutter a few words.

Black Dragon Nidhogg.

Just like the black dragon in the myth that ate the world tree and caused the Ragnarok of the gods, the black dragon in the world of Dicuo is doing exactly the same thing in the story setting.

According to the setting of the world of Dicuo, the black dragon Nidhogg has been gnawing on the world tree of Dicuo since it rushed to the surface from the deepest part of the dungeon three thousand years ago, relying on the massive power of the world to continuously improve its own strength.

One of the important reasons why Zeus's family and Hera's family were defeated by the black dragon in a nearly annihilated manner was that they underestimated the black dragon's growth.

The Black Dragon, who was originally thought to be just a LV.9 adventurer at the level of the sixth stage, suddenly displayed a terrifying strength of LV.10, which even broke the upper limit of the grace system. The main members of the two strongest clans in Orario at that time were wiped out, plunging the entire Orario into the darkest and most turbulent period.

In fact, this plot can also be entered as a side story of Dicuo in Paradise, and the rewards are very generous, but relatively speaking, the difficulty is much higher than the normal Dicuo main plot. In addition, because it is not convenient to bring newcomers to level up, it is not very popular in Paradise among those cults that want to bring newcomers into the world of Dicuo.

With this spin-off plot as the starting point, the story that follows is about Bell Crany, the protagonist of the original series of the Earthly World, who was the adopted grandson of Zeus but was unaware of it. Because he did not show strong enough talent and was too weak and sickly in his childhood, even Zeus himself had no expectations of him. It was not until he awakened his unique growth talent [Yearning] and embarked on the path of becoming a true hero that he realized it and started to tell the story of Bell Crany.

Buzz, rumble—! !

A roar like thunder came from the air that exuded a decaying smell. If you listened carefully, you would find that the thunder did not come from the sky, but from the dark giant that was resting on the roots of the tree at the foot of the tree.

——Yes, this is not thunder, but the snoring of a black dragon.

Every move was like a natural disaster. This was the black dragon of the Dicuo world. It was still the same even after being suppressed to the third level by notarization.

only--

"Go to sleep, go to sleep. While there are still a few days left, get two more days of sleep~!"

"Otherwise, when the time comes, you won't have any time to sleep!"

On the treetops, Yamu was humming a little tune cheerfully, squinting his eyes slightly. With a thought, golden thunder wrapped around his body and drove him towards the wilderness in the distance.

……

In the world of Dicuo, Orario, the underground altar of the Adventurer's Guild.

boom--! !

The door of the underground altar was slammed open, and a figure covered in a cloak and emitting a cold aura rushed in. He looked at the majestic old man sitting on the stone seat and said hastily:
"Uranus, something happened! The Tyrant suddenly returned to Orario for some unknown reason, and seems to have discovered what Freya did. He is now fighting with the Fierce One of Freya's followers!"

"Not only that, according to the information my familiars found out, 'Nether' has also returned to Orario and is now fighting with Freya's family!"

"'Tyrant' and 'Netherworld'... Based on their deeds and strength, since they are returning to Orario, it means that something happened here that was enough to make them rush back. Forth, did their fighting affect the surrounding people?"

"That... no, the battle between 'Nether' and 'Mighty' took place within Freya's clan. Although 'Tyrant' was fighting 'Brave' in a residential area, the people in that area had long been driven away by Freya's clan."

"Really? If so, let them be. After all, we have no right to interfere with them. Moreover, Freya herself went too far this time. No matter what the consequences may be, she must have been prepared for it.

The old man who was guarding the altar, with most of his face covered by the shadow of the hood, and whose faintly revealed facial features and expression gave people a sense of oppressive majesty, simply raised his hand calmly in response to the anxious report from the black-robed figure, signaling the other party not to interfere.

"But……!"

"Fors, I know you are worried about the boy named Bell Crane, but... don't worry, he will be fine."

"I can sense that although the blade and gaze of the Netherworld are cold, she does not have much murderous intent. I guess her real purpose is not to harm Freya's family, but to use this as a means to achieve a certain result."

A hoarse and old voice came from the old man's mouth. He glanced at the former sage who had transformed himself into an immortal, and said:

"In comparison, the situation on the side of the 'tyrant' is more noteworthy. Since the 'divine punishment' descended, this world has undergone tremendous changes. If it was the former 'strong man', facing the 'tyrant' who has no grace and protection, the battle would have ended quickly. But now, under the constraints of the 'divine punishment', if the battle between the 'strong man' and the 'tyrant' continues, it is very likely to lead to an uncontrollable result."

"This……"

"Therefore, I hope you, Fors, will keep an eye on their fight in secret. Although I did not sense any murderous intent from the Tyrant, just in case, if the Fierce One is really in danger, you will need to find a way to save him."

"Although Freya made a big mistake, the existence of the 'Fierce One' has become an indispensable part of the current order of Orario."

The old man looked at the black-robed figure with two skeleton arms in front of him and said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the black-robed figure was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"I understand, Uranus. I will go to Tyrant first. But if anything happens to Bell, I will rush over as soon as possible."

"No problem."...

Orario, near the Hestia Familia headquarters.

clang--! !

Two pitch-black swords that looked almost the same size collided heavily with each other. A huge impact force erupted from the center point of the sword collision, turning into a circle of strong wind, blowing all the surrounding building debris into the air.

"kill!!"

A deafening roar rang out from the man who was already on the verge of completely losing his mind. Ota roared, raised the Black Sword in his hand high, and then smashed it down heavily with the bonus of 90 points of real strength attribute + heavy sword master LV.MAX.

Tangled Blade·Domineering Slash!

boom--! !

A dark sword light burst out from the ruins and collided with Ota's extremely pure slash, completely destroying the ground under the feet of the two men.

boom! boom!
Two collision sounds were heard almost simultaneously, and Xin Lailai's figure flew backwards from the afterglow of the explosion of the demonic power, and slammed heavily into a building in the distance, smashing it through before finally stopping its retreat.

"Cough...cough!"

A mouthful of blood overflowed from Xin Lailai's mouth and nose. Xin Lailai wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at his health bar which was only 64.9% left, and couldn't help but reveal a happy smile.

——Sure enough, when it comes to techniques, the most rewarding thing is always to learn from people who have chosen a similar path as you!

In the short collision of less than three minutes, he had some new insights into his mastery of the heavy sword.

Although in terms of results, this should actually be regarded as the result of continuous accumulation in the Land of All Living Beings, the strong and refreshing collision feeling between real men when fighting with a heavy sword master who is stronger than himself in direct strength but has the same technical level is something that you will never feel when fighting with the White Night Projection and the Death Bearer.

The accumulation of the Land of All Living Things is certainly important, but the inspiration that may make the accumulation burst out like a torrent is equally crucial.

To put it more bluntly, long-term training is indispensable, but the clarity of mind... is the most important factor that determines whether a breakthrough in technique can be achieved!

——If you don't feel happy in your heart, let alone the Land of All Living Beings, even if Paradise personally comes out to force you to level up and gain insights, it will be of no use.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Xin Lailai seemed to sense something, his eyes moved, and his peripheral vision swept towards the ruins below.

Just now, he suddenly felt as if someone was spying on him from that direction.

So, without any hesitation, Xin Lailai immediately expanded the spiritual field to the maximum and swept it in the direction of the ruins. A skeleton-like figure covered in a cloak and emitting a strong aura of death instantly appeared in his mind.

"This is... Fors from Uranus's camp? I see. It seems that Uranus has a pretty good eye."

After using the psychic realm to see clearly who had just spied on him, Xin Lailai's eyes moved, and he quickly realized the reason why Fors appeared here.

"God" Uranus.

The creator of the labyrinth city of Orario, he was the first god in the entire Underworld to descend to the human world. According to the setting, he descended to the underworld a thousand years ago, built the Tower of Babel, and founded the Adventurer's Guild, which changed the situation in which the underworld was constantly invaded by monsters pouring out of the dungeon. He is also the only god in the entire underworld who can fully exert his divine power in a special area.

In the entire worldview of Dicuo, the reason why the monsters in the dungeon cannot rush to the surface at will is because Uranus has been sitting on the altar, using his divine power to suppress the will of the dungeon and prevent it from further releasing disasters.

From the perspective of the contractor, Uranus can be regarded as the core carrier of the will of the entire underground world, equivalent to a designated invincible NPC. The other party only cares about the peace and stability of Orario and seeks a balance between the dungeon and the ground world. Apart from this, he basically does not interfere too much. Even if something needs to be dealt with on weekdays, it is basically handed over to Fors, who accidentally turned himself into an undead eight hundred years ago in order to explore the true meaning of magic.

For example, now, Fors appeared here, most likely under the instruction of Uranus. Otherwise, given the relationship between Fors and Bell Crany, he would definitely go to the Executioner first instead of staring at him.

"Are you worried that 'Brave Man' might accidentally die in my hands, leaving Orario without an important fighting force that can calm the situation?"

Xin Lailai glanced at Ota who was roaring towards the sky at him below, chuckled, and ignored Fors who was hiding in the ruins. Instead, he drew his sword and flapped the Youlin Kongyu behind him with all his strength. He instantly blasted out like a cannonball and rushed straight towards Ota on the ground, his dark pupils filled with excitement.

According to Ota's current level of strength, it would take at least 7 minutes for him to reach the point where he would have to use magic. Before that, he could still enjoy this battle between the heavy sword masters...

"Ota! Stop it!!"

[Tip: Major changes have been detected in the plot of the derivative world. The pioneer has obtained 12.4% of the world source]

Almost at the moment when Xin Lailai was about to collide with Ota again, a low roar and a cold warning sound rang out, and a creature shaped like a bird but emitting dazzling light suddenly rushed out from Ota's waist and shouted at the other party.

boom--! !

Faced with the sudden shout, Ota, who was on the verge of losing control, suddenly retracted his arm, and the Black Sword in his hand was forcibly deflected to the side, and finally flew out of his hand and hit the building next to him. At the same time, his other arm blocked in the direction of Xin Lailai, as if he wanted to withstand Xin Lailai's attack.

"Hedin, do you know what you are talking about? This guy has already known Lady Freya's plan!!"

The next second, Ota grabbed the light elemental creature in front of him, stared at the figure of the blond male elf reflected in his pupils, and growled:
"If Lady Freya..."

"Lady Freya has been captured by the Netherworld."

A hoarse and dry voice came from the light element magic used for communication in front of him, causing Ota to freeze in place.

"I'm sorry, Ota. I was useless and failed to protect Lady Freya. When this is over, you can do whatever you want to me, but now..."

"I beg you to admit defeat to your opponent."

"..."

Hearing this, Ota looked at Xin Lailai in front of him. His red skin quickly returned to bronze. After being silent for a long while, he spoke:

"I lost, let her go."

"Stay here and do nothing, and nothing will happen to her."

Upon hearing this, Xin Lailai put away Yuan Mo, threw down a few words, and turned to walk towards the Hestia clan headquarters.

Since the work on the part of the deceased has been completed, what remains is naturally the finishing work on his side.
