"Everyone, we've collected a total of 300 million points this time." Upon returning to the Celestial System space, Wang Han immediately converted the gold coins he had collected in the Hobbit world into points and announced to everyone, "Each person will be rewarded with 100,000 points for this mission, and the cadres will receive an additional 200,000 points."
"roar!"
"The commander is mighty!"
"The guild leader is so generous! He can take ten thousand wives."
"Commander, I want to be your officer, a capable officer!"
Upon hearing Wang Han's announcement, everyone cheered, and some even shouted words that were difficult to understand.
"Did these guys buy a planet?"
Upon hearing Wang Han's announcement, even those outside the Exploding Sky Mercenary Group were filled with envy. One hundred thousand points per person—they might not earn that many points even after ten years in the Heavenly God System. And that was a massive group of two thousand people, with the officers receiving an extra two hundred thousand points!
"Radon, take everyone back to rest. I'm going to carry out a mission alone. While I'm gone, you can take on missions yourselves and send people to carry them out." Looking at the fervent expressions of the members of the Exploding Sky Gang and the envious looks of those around them, Wang Han smiled and instructed Radon, "Also, the Exploding Sky Gang is always recruiting. Those with town-level strength can join, but they need to be vetted and assessed. I'll leave the vetting and assessment to you. As the vice leader of the Exploding Sky Gang, you can't do without strength. I'll give you an extra ten million points to help you improve your strength."
"Yes, Commander, I promise I won't let you down. I will personally review everyone who joins." Upon hearing this, Radon immediately said loudly.
“I will leave behind a clone. This clone can be contacted even if I go to other worlds to carry out missions. If I encounter a wealthy world, I will have the clone contact you,” Wang Han said.
After saying this, Wang Han's body split apart, and another Wang Han emerged from Wang Han's corpse. Smiling, he said, "The original."
"Roton, clone, the rest is up to you," Wang Han said, taking out a new orb of light, placing it into the slot of the portal, and walking straight into it.
Wang Han originally planned to continue the system missions with the Exploding Sky Gang, partly to test the system and partly to cultivate suitable, overtly trusted confidants. However, the orb of light he just encountered was unusual; it was the one he received when accepting the second mission from the Hobbit, and it was this orb that made him change his mind. He would have to leave the system-related matters to his split-off clone for now.
————————————————————
In a vast, shattered city, ten terrifying behemoths leaped and ravaged the city, leaving it in ruins. The magic spewed from their mouths was relentlessly purging the city's surviving inhabitants.
One of the giant wolves, with two heads, was particularly powerful. With each snap of its massive jaws, terrifying magic orbs the size of millstones shot out like machine guns, each possessing the destructive power of a missile. It was responsible for destroying nearly half of the shattered city. It was also the most powerful of the ten giant beasts.
This city, being destroyed and ravaged, is the City of Light, the origin city of the Holy See of Light, the capital of the Light Empire, and the largest city in the vast empire—a colossal city with a population exceeding fifty million, nearly one-sixtieth of the Light Empire's population. Yet, this city, once a symbol of light, is now experiencing destruction. Amidst the city's ruins, knights clad in silver armor...
“Angie, Vivian, I’ll ask you one last time: are you really going to make an enemy of the entire Bright Empire and the Bright Church with its hundreds of billions of followers for someone who has disappeared for tens of thousands of years? Aren’t you afraid of becoming the enemy of the entire world? The person you’re looking for may already be dead after tens of thousands of years. Do you really want someone who is already dead to pay the price?”
In the sky above the shattered city, a man wielding a knight's sword and wearing silver mithril armor panted as he glared hatefully at two white-haired beauties floating not far in front of him, and roared angrily once more.
Surrounding the two white-haired beauties were eight mages in red robes. These were eight of the twelve cardinals of the Holy See, while the roaring man was the leader of the Knights of Light. Each of them stood at the pinnacle of power in this world, demigods who had touched the realm of gods, or even beings who had already been deified.
However, despite their superior strength and numerical advantage, they still felt uncertain facing these two beautiful women. Both were deities who had lived for tens of thousands of years, and each possessed ten divine beasts of god-like power. They wouldn't have uttered so much empty boasting if they weren't truly outmatched.
"We've said it before, all we want is your method to connect to the other world!" In response to the roar of the man in mithril armor, one of the beautiful women simply said calmly.
"The method is not going to be given to you!" Upon hearing this, the man in mithril armor roared through gritted teeth. The method to connect to the other world was the descent of angels by the Holy See. This was the very foundation of the Holy See's existence and its source of strength. After that great calamity, the Holy See was able to continue developing thanks to the descent of angels, and there was no way they would hand it over.
"Since you're unwilling to tell us, then we'll have to find out for ourselves!" Seeing the Knight of Light's resolute attitude, one of the white-haired women sneered, quickly forming hand seals before slapping them into the air behind her. A massive amount of runes appeared, and she shouted, "Summoning Technique!"
"Puff puff puff!" With the beautiful woman's movement, a tsunami of white smoke erupted behind her. As the smoke dissipated, five more enormous beasts appeared, each exuding a terrifying aura.
"Summoning Technique!" Upon seeing this, another beautiful white-haired girl quickly formed hand seals and then pressed them into the air behind her, and five more enormous beasts appeared.
"Damn it, are you really going to do this? Angie, Vivian, are you really going to make enemies of the whole world?" Seeing the ten more god-level behemoths reappear, the Knight of Light turned pale with rage. He roared, "Don't think we can't kill you!"
"Hmph, so what if we have to fight the whole world? Even if we have to destroy the entire Bright Empire, we must obtain the method to connect to the other world!" Upon hearing this, the two white-haired women said coldly in unison, and gave the order to the giant beasts behind them: "Kill them."
