Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 625: Lian Na [5.9k words]

There has never been a shortage of talented people in this world, no matter what era it is.

Just as their generation gave birth to geniuses like Dao Ji and Zhishizhe who attracted countless people's attention since they entered paradise, the same was true for the generation of contractors twenty years ago.

In that era before the great turmoil broke out, when the true dragon was still hidden in the world and the underworld had not yet been born, there were people who were known as the "all-rounders" who knew all the ways of the universe, some were known as "destroyers" with their ultimate power of collapsing the sky with a single blow, and some were known as "fallen immortals in white" for their mastery of both talismans and swords.

It can be said that if it weren't for the great turmoil that was beyond everyone's expectations, the generation of pioneers and hunters twenty years ago would have been the "glory of the post-golden age" in the eyes of everyone at the time, and the strongest new generation that could be compared with the three heroes of the golden age who left behind legendary names.

If we were to pick the most representative figure among the pioneers of 20 years ago, it would definitely not be the unsociable Destroyer, nor the exiled immortal in white who always valued harmony in everything, nor would it be the all-rounder who intentionally built himself into a supporting role and was used to hiding behind the scenes. Instead, it could only be the most eye-catching new generation pioneer of that era, a dazzling existence who had set various records since the beginning of the Trial World.

"Valkyrie" Lena.

He completed the mission with an S+ rating in the Trial World, turned the tide of the first War World by himself, set up a trap to kill 29 violators alone in the Second Stage, successfully conquered an abnormal world second only to the Execution Ground in the Third Stage Assessment, and single-handedly defeated the Abyss-breeding creature formed by the abyss breath that was on the verge of getting out of control. Whether in appearance, strategy or force, he was a perfect existence, and even directly won the top spot in various entertainment voting columns at the time with a crushing number of votes. He was a public idol for that generation of workers and low-level contractors.

According to the description of 04296 and Xin Lailai, before the great turmoil broke out, Chengnu, who was still an "all-rounder" at the time, liked to show off his relationship with Lian Na every time he got together with them. He even attracted 04296 and others to the point of beating them up. However, due to the gap in strength at the time, he basically never won against Chengnu, who was a pioneer.

Therefore, after the news of the Valkyrie's death in the great turmoil spread, many people felt sorry for her death, thinking that if she had not fallen in the turmoil, she might have had a place at the top position today.

Of course, because each of those who now sit on the "Peak" throne is too terrifying and too legendary, many people are skeptical about this statement, but at least, this is enough to prove what kind of impression the word "Valkyrie" left on that generation of contractors back then.

And today——

They succeeded in witnessing each other's charm in a way beyond imagination.

[Hint: Pioneer Lena is detected to be in a very special state. Yes/No to isolate the brand signal of the current unit]

On the battlefield, cold reminders rang out in Xin Lailai's mind, but Xin Lailai ignored these unnecessary reminders. He just looked at the heroic and beautiful figure at the end of his sight with a curious look, sensing the breath emanating from the other party, and a strange light flashed in his pupils.

"Good fellow... Brother Black Sword, you actually have such a surprise hidden for us?"

"It's not a surprise, it's just that I'm a wizard, so I can sense more things. However, because there are too few clues, I can't be sure of my guess until this "Valkyrie" lady actually appears."

On the communication channel, Xin Lailai replied, looking at the message sent by the brand holder named Lena, and specifically tagged the other party.

Black Sword: "@Lena, if I'm not mistaken, the attack we suffered before was not what the White Saint thought, but was deliberately initiated by the Valkyrie in order to guide us, right?"

When they just set out, they were attacked by a master-level foul shadow. At that time, they thought that it was launched by the out-of-control White Saint. Even the White Saint herself thought so. She felt that she was sleeping at the time and was stimulated by the prompt sound of the Paradise Brand. She unconsciously obeyed the filthy power and sent out the foul shadow to attack Xin Lailai and others.

But after actually coming into contact with the White Saint, Xin Lailai began to have some doubts about this. It was not because of anything else, but because from the perspective of timing, the timing of the attack at that time was really too coincidental.

There was a buffer period of several hours between the time they took Saint Xiaobai to collect treasure chests and the time they were attacked. Logically speaking, an attack could have occurred at any time during this period, but in the end, just when they were all gathered together, and even when he, the blocking master, was standing next to Saint Xiaobai, the attack of the Filthy Shadow came at the perfect time.

Although this could be explained by coincidence, the fact that the attack made them realize that the White Saint would not be able to hold on for long, which greatly increased their speed, forced Xin Lailai to be more careful and speculate a few more steps.

After seeing the White Saint with his own eyes and discovering that even when the world-level signal source was so close, it still did not detect the brand signal, but the White Saint heard a clear brand prompt sound at the time, those speculations became substantive guesses:

——That was the Valkyrie they wanted to rescue. Perhaps she had never really slept, but had somehow entered a very special state, and had been planning and waiting for something in that state.

——Including the white crystals in the body of Saint Xiaobai. The spells inside are not only to protect Saint Xiaobai, but also to make some arrangements for the opponent's plan, or in other words... some kind of backup plan in the worst case scenario.

……

Lian Na: "Mr. Black Sword is indeed very perceptive. Well, the previous attack was indeed guided by me with the help of the origin of this world, but I didn't have much energy at the time, so I could only choose a more risky method. I'm sorry for scaring everyone at that time."

Lian Na: "As for the rest, let's talk about it after everything is settled. Everyone, I have learned your plan through Anna's memory. You just need to find a way to kill as many of these creatures as possible before the power called the Netherworld dissipates, so that they can consume the filthy power of this world, right?"

Black Sword: "Well, if Miss Lian Na has a way, that would be great. If not, we also have a final method to cleanse the filthy power of this world in an absolutely safe way, but it is unknown whether this world can be preserved."

Lian Na: "Leave it to me, everyone. Although it's a bit hasty, if it's just a small army formed by the power of filth, it's still within my current ability to deal with it."

……

Light blue text jumped on the communication channel. In the white flower sea area surrounded by the isolated area, Lena, who was shrouded in white light, glanced at the information that popped up at the edge of her sight, and a smile appeared on her beautiful face.

Just like what she had sensed before in the origin of the world, the pioneers who entered this world this time were all very interesting guys.

"But this way, I can rest assured."

Lian Na smiled and talked to herself, the slowly regenerating figure of the Filthy God Realm Corpse in the distance reflected in her snow-white pupils. Then she lowered her head to look at the White Saint who was standing beside her with her mouth slightly open and a look of disbelief on her face. She moved and appeared in front of the other person.

"Ms. Lian...Ms. Lianna, is it really you?"

"Yes, it's me. Sorry, Anna. The situation is urgent now. I need to borrow your strength. This may put a great burden on you and the child, so you may have to work hard for a while."

Lian Na spoke, looking at the White Saint who shared a body with the Little White Saint in front of her, and put her hand on the other's chest, and an extremely complicated formation instantly unfolded under her feet.

"No...it's okay, Miss Lena, just do what you want to do!"

Upon hearing this, the White Saint nodded repeatedly, decisively letting go of her mind and allowing Lena's mental power to flow into her mind.

Om-! !

The next second, five small white crystals engraved with different symbols floated up from the body of Saint Xiaobai, and along with the light rising from Saint Xiaobai's chest, they bloomed with an incomparably dazzling white light.

Boom!
Then, six beams of light in black, purple, red, brown, gray and white shot up into the sky from around Lena, and the Black Knights and others who were supposed to be on the battlefield all disappeared from the spot, kneeling on one knee and landing around Lena.

"I almost forgot, there is this child."

Finally, a golden beam of light bloomed with Lena as the center, and the wings behind her quickly dissipated, transforming into an angelic female figure wearing golden battle armor, with twelve pairs of pure white wings on her back, and most of her face covered by the armor above her head.

The angel-like female warrior slowly flapped the wings behind her, and like the Black Knights, she half-knelt on one knee in front of Lena and lowered her head, as if saluting her.

"Thank you for your hard work during this period. Have you completed all the tasks I asked you to do well?"

Lian Na looked at the angel warrior in front of her, gently stroked his helmet twice, and finally turned to look at the battlefield in the distance. She thrust the pure white spear in her hand into the center of the formation. A hint of murderous intent appeared in her snow-white pupils, and she spoke in a cold and pleasant voice:

"let's start."

boom--! !

As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely huge white beam of light shot up into the sky, ignoring the restrictions of the isolation barrier, and rushed straight into the sky, transforming into an incomparably huge pure white magic circle in the sky.

[Tip: Changes in the will of this world have been detected, and the current state of the will of the world has changed! ]

[Tip: It is detected that Pioneer·Lena has become the world will of this world. When it is located in this world area, Pioneer·Lena will be defaulted to a hegemony-level unit and cannot leave this world area! ]

Om-! !

The cold prompt sound echoed throughout the world, announcing the opponent's actions, and Xin Lailai, who was on the battlefield, looked at this scene with a look of understanding in his eyes.

Is that really the case?

"Tsk, that's really cruel. No wonder we can't detect the brand signal of this Valkyrie lady. Could it be that she has merged herself with the whole world?"

Under the sea, Yamu, who had to hide for refuge because the time of space travel had ended, stood in the barrier unfolded by Xinlailai, and complained in his mind, with a strange light flashing in his golden pupils.

'A very bold move.'
On the other side, the Death Bearer who had also dodged looked at the huge white formation that seemed to cover the entire sky and commented.

"Yes, but honestly, this is more proof that she is the Valkyrie we are looking for, the Herald we are searching for, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Xin Lailai chuckled and added, the white beam of light rising into the sky reflected in her pupils, and her eyes danced slightly.

Bold. Yes, just as the Death Prisoner commented, this was an extremely bold... even crazy move.

In the White Saint's understanding, the pioneer who called herself Lena, who was rescued by the other party, fell into a long sleep after handing over her body to her management and leaving behind a powerful guardian heroic spirit, and has not awakened for a long time.

But what is the truth?

In other words, would Lena, the former Valkyrie, really allow herself to fall asleep and leave her fate to luck and the unknown after making only these arrangements?

the answer is negative.

Just like their actions when they fell into the abyss, Lena, as a pioneer, never considered the option of sitting and waiting to die.

During these twenty years, the other party was not sleeping at all, but was using the pure white power of the White Saint as protection and the special nature of his own fusion with the White Saint as a breakthrough point to infiltrate the world origin of the entire White Frontier Star, trying to replace the world will of the entire White Frontier Star that had long fallen into filth with himself, and to subvert the control of the filthy power over this world with his own strength.

Normally, this is an impossible thing.

Even if they carry the power of the White Saint, who is an abnormal characteristic of this world, there is an insurmountable gap in the life level between living beings and the world. For normal people, even if they can sense the existence of such a thing as the "origin of the world", it is impossible to find it clearly, let alone reversely infiltrate it with their own will.

But unfortunately, Lena, who is a strong person in the divine system and has awakened some extremely special second talent, happens to possess this ability.

『Heroic Spirit Body』

This is what Chengnuo mentioned in his story to them, the second talent that belongs only to the "Valkyrie" Lena.

It can use its own body as a carrier and its own will as a medium to communicate with the origin of the world it is in, awaken the powerful people who have been born in this world, manifest their power, and let them descend as heroic spirits to fight for itself or enhance its own body.

It was this second talent that was awakened early in the trial world, coupled with the other party's powerful first talent "Body of the Martial God", which was rare even among academic sects and allowed the holder to wield a variety of different weapons at the same time and exert the power of 1+1>2, which directly made the Valkyrie famous on the battlefield.

Swords, spears, bows, swords and fists.

According to the promised description, these are the types of weapons that Lena has mastered, and the passive skill called "Master of Martial God" on the other party is based on the master-level passive skills corresponding to these five weapons, plus an energy control master's advancement.

Of course, unlike Yan Yi's situation, the opponent's advancement was completed using the skill upgrade hall of Paradise, following the normal combat grandmaster route. Moreover, the opponent did not pursue passively guiding several different techniques in a consistent general direction, but to make him, like a normal combat grandmaster, possess the ability characteristics of six technical grandmasters at the same time.

Normally, although this type of development can make one become extremely comprehensive, there will often be a certain degree of weakening in a single item. This is also one of the costs of combat grandmasters. After all, it only costs three grandmaster passive upgrades to obtain six grandmaster passive ability characteristics, which means that its strength in a single direction is definitely not as good as that of a specialized grandmaster-level ability.

——Except for Lena who possesses the "body of a war god".

The characteristic of "Body of the God of War" allows it to use a certain technical ability. The characteristics of other technical abilities will be amplified to this technical ability in a certain proportion, and the closer the connection between the different technical characteristics mastered, the greater the inheritance ratio will be. If it is a different technical characteristic from a master's passive ability, the inheritance ratio will be so high that it will make the enemy doubt their lives.

Because of this, after the opponent passively upgraded his six skills to "Martial God Grandmaster", not only did his individual abilities not become weaker, but instead became much stronger than normal technical abilities.

Imagine that when you are fighting with an enemy who uses a spear as a weapon, you suddenly find that the opponent's spear not only has the penetrating property that every spear master must have, but also has the energy erosion immunity of a sword master and the mind control immunity and soul damage reduction of a knife master. Even when you are kicked by the enemy, you find that the kick actually has the characteristics of an energy control master and a bow and arrow master. What a desperate experience that is.

Not only that, this is only the effect of the opponent's first talent. If the opponent's second talent is also taken into account, you only need to know one thing to understand how strong it is:
After summoning a Heroic Spirit, the 'Heroic Spirit Body' can rely on 'Heroic Spirit Possession' to briefly use the skills and abilities that the opponent mastered during his lifetime. According to the information promised, the upper limit of the number of people that the opponent's 'Heroic Spirit Body' can possess right after awakening is 3.

This is why, even though the opponent suffered a defeat of being killed in the great turmoil, there are still quite a few strong people who are in the same era as her who judge that she has the potential to reach the top. There is no other reason, it is just because the "Valkyrie" at that time was indeed too dazzling.

——Including now.

"I, Lena Letacia, swear in the name of the will of this world."

On the battlefield, a cold but pleasant shout was heard, causing the huge white magic circle in the sky to suddenly become brighter.

“LAaaaa——!!”

On the sea, the Impure God Realm Corpse whose head was blown off by a blow seemed to have sensed something. It stared at Lian Na in the distance with its head that had not yet completed its regeneration. It let out a piercing scream, and a large amount of filthy power gathered on its body. The vertical eyes on its tentacles burst into hundreds of scarlet rays of light, and instantly shot out a large amount of filthy beams of light, bombarding the direction of the white light column, and then...

boom!
A huge curtain of light descended from the sky and collided with the corpse of the Filthy God Realm, causing a series of violent explosions. Finally, it all dissipated with the muffled groan of the White Saint in the white flower sea area, failing to break through the barrier controlled by Lena, the will of the world.

"This war is not an unjust or unjust war."

A huge pillar of light rose up, and powerful shadows appeared from it.

"This battle is not a battle of dishonesty or kindness."

The sound of the ground shaking was heard, and a large number of pure white shadows slowly stood up from the sea.

"This battle is not a battle of disloyalty or inhumanity."

In a trance, there seemed to be a deafening cry of killing, and the white shadows descending from the formation began to become more and more solid. If you observe their appearance and clothing, you will find that most of them are wearing similar but slightly different armor, and carrying weapons that do not seem to be built for humans at all, but instead look like tools for hunting large creatures.

"Those are..."

"They are probably humans who died in the battle against the filth in this world in the past. At least judging from their clothing, they are wearing the same style as the soldiers in the Absolute Fortress."

"This battle is a battle to defend survival."

On the battlefield, the cold and pleasant sound of oaths continued to echo, and Xin Lailai looked at the soldiers who kept standing up from the white light and answered.

Yes, you only need to take one look to understand.

These soldiers summoned by Lena using her own talents as a medium and the will of the world as a fulcrum are almost all warriors who died in the war between the White Kingdom and the Filth.

For a civilization with a master-level supernatural system upper limit, the White Kingdom has produced too many powerful supernatural beings in the past thousand years. Normally speaking, if these supernatural beings wanted to cause chaos, the entire White Kingdom would have been in chaos long ago.

"This battle is to drive out foreign enemies."

But in the history recorded in the White Kingdom, there has never been any large-scale riots by extraordinary people, whether it was thousands of years ago or in the last year when this filth was completely mired in filth.

Or, compared to the meaningless internal fighting, all the strong men born on this land, those masters with different ideas and aspirations, under the leadership of generations of kings and saints of the White Kingdom, made the same choice, which was...

"This battle is to wipe out all the filth!"

—Wipe out the filth of the entire world completely.

boom--! !

In an instant, the whole world seemed to tremble.

"Roar!!!"

On the battlefield, the Filthy God Kai, who realized what the scene before him would bring to him, bombarded the area where the white light column was like a madman, roaring and commanding the army of filthy shadows beside him to charge in the direction of the opponent, causing a huge tsunami to rise in the entire filthy ocean.

"I, as a pledge, ask the heroic spirits of this world—"

In the sky, Lena's figure floated up. On the ground, warriors of various shapes and sizes, wearing tattered armor as if they had returned from hell, slowly stood up under the leadership of figures whose auras were no weaker than those of the Black Knights, and looked at the army of foul shadows attacking from afar.

"Go to the battle!!!"

Boom——! !

The next moment, a huge sound of drums rang out, and then when it reached a certain peak, it suddenly exploded, turning into a huge sound wave like a thunderstorm, sweeping across the world.

"kill!!!"

Boom! !
In an instant, all the summoned heroic spirits moved. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers rushed towards the oncoming filth like a tide, stepping on the stairs formed by pure white power and colliding with the army of foul shadows that were attacking them. It was like a thunderclap that startled the entire battlefield.

This is a war for the whole world!
