update icon Updated at 2025/3/18 1:10:12

"Welcome to the Edge City, the kingdom of wilderness."

Not only the environment, even the parrots here are interesting, are they taught a few simple words by someone?

"Yeah, so cute..."

Rin couldn't bear it anymore, ran over and rubbed the parrot's cheek.

She just wanted to play with it, but the parrot got angry first and replied to Rin with a shocking phrase.

"Squawk, I have a wife, you can't tempt me!"

...What's wrong with this bird?

Because of my behavior, it seems reluctant to pay attention to us.

"It's just a parrot..."

This place is really interesting.

Clear sky, and houses made up of a large forest, am I not dreaming?

Even Rin was shocked and showed her second expression in her life - stunned.

These things are listed as extinct vegetation, in our world there are no forests and fresh air like this anymore.

"Wow, this is like a paradise, I thought... after all, it's the Devil City."

Chiba kneeled on the wet soil, sucking the raindrops on the leaves.

"What are you doing?"

At first, I didn't understand her behavior, I thought it was a bit weird.

But after being persuaded, she became more excessive, chewed the tender grass on the ground like a cow, and mumbled in her mouth.

"It's truly tender grass, really tender grass!"

"Huh?!"

Really, I... I couldn't hold back my excitement... Has the world been saved?

In such a thriving scene, I completely ignored the extremely dangerous figure behind me!

"I promised to save the world in imminent danger, and this can also be considered a commitment... After I eliminate the rules set by Satan in six months, this oasis will spread throughout the entire earth!"

After passing through the small town ahead, a group of bears...uh, is it Uncle Bear?

A group of bears stood and talked as if they were moving wood, they were actually building houses!

"Hey, Aji! You're slacking again, quickly bring the door, or you'll get rained on tonight!"

"Oh..."

The black bear wearing a vest slowly walked towards his father.

Bang!

"You... How can you not even act like a bear?"

Bear Dad angrily slapped his son's head.

The bear son was frightened and quickly brought the board he was lying on into the house, looking quite funny.

At this time, Bear Dad looked over here, seemed to notice our whereabouts, and walked towards us step by step while teaching.

"You are newcomers, right? Welcome to Saint Veronica. From today, this will be your home. You should get along well with the residents here!"

"Yes, please take care of us... um... may I ask what should I call you?"

Unexpectedly, the bear here is so warm and hospitable, but I don't know if it has a name according to their traditions.

After hesitating for a while, Bear Dad said a few words... it does have a name.

"Joseph... My name is Joseph. Maybe you can call me Joe."

"Oh, then call me Yuka, Yuka Shinomiya."

Seeing them up close, they are quite cute, chubby like a ball.

I couldn't help but indulge in my thoughts.

"Miss Yuka? It seems like you're thinking about something very disrespectful!"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

They're just too cute, making me a little indiscreet, so I quickly apologized.

"Well, forget it, children will be surprised when they first see talking bears, but actually we were just two wild bears living in the big forest, until one day..."

Then, Bear Dad started to tell us about the origin of their race, including how they learned to use tools.

(omitting Bear Dad Joseph's useless talk)

"Until one day, my son and I were attacked in the forest, and my son's body was pierced by an arrow!"

At this point, Joseph started to sob, as if he was narrating his misfortune.

"At the most critical moment, a shiny golden light descended from the sky and restored us to life. He is the great and wise Lord Shura!"

"Are you talking about the God of Asura?"

"It is precisely because of the God of Asura that we can live in peace today."

As Joseph spoke, he entered a state of self-indulgence and completely disregarded my words.

Without a doubt, Joseph was clearly referring to that person - Juxi?!

"Oh, right!"

Joseph seemed to suddenly remember something important and asked us.

"The new residents, I'm afraid you haven't started building your houses yet, right?"

"...Houses...!"

I and Nami and Chiyeba looked at each other and were struck at the same time...We had no place to live, and it seemed that there would be a heavy rain tonight!

"If we don't start construction soon, do you need my help?"

Joseph eagerly volunteered to help me, and I appreciated his kindness, but it would be difficult to build a room for three people, right?

He was just playing a small role, right?

After some thought, I declined.

"We appreciate your enthusiasm, but it's really not easy to finish building a place for three people in just a few hours..."

"Really? Can I really help you?"

Unfortunately, I miscalculated. Chiyeba, upon hearing that Uncle Joseph was willing to help us, immediately got excited and jumped onto Joseph's furry belly.

"Mhm mhm!"

To my surprise, Joseph agreed without any hesitation.

"Son of a bitch!"

A terrifying roar came from behind Joseph, the piercing sound wave sweeping past.

"Husband, I go out to hunt for a while and you start messing around with others!"

"Uh, wife, it's not what you think... Ouch!"

Mama Bear stood with one hand on her hip, and with the other, she grabbed Joseph's ear and gave him a good beating.

Without listening to Joseph's explanation, Mama Bear started a fight with him.

"Wife, let me explain. The God of Asura sent three new residents who have nowhere to stay, and I just wanted to mobilize the whole tribe to help them!"

"What? So they're newcomers. Old man, you should have said so earlier!"

This family... at least the misunderstanding was resolved smoothly.

Although it was difficult, our dwelling finally started construction, and to speed up the process, we joined the construction team.

Later I learned that the residents here were all very helpful to each other.

With everyone's efforts, it only took three hours to complete the first floor, the rooms, and the living room!

"Thank you, Uncle Joseph and everyone. You've worked hard!"

In the crystal ball, I brought hay to make beds.

"Mhm, well done. Now that you can quickly get along with the residents here, I can also feel relieved."

A satisfied smile appeared under the black hood.

To prevent such tragedies from happening again in the future, this new world must be governed, and the only person who can do that is me, the God of Asura - the former Tsubaki Juxi!

The future is not destined to perish, as everything the Apostles have done has confirmed that.

Juxi stood at the highest point of the castle, on the observation deck that belonged only to the king, looking into the distance and thinking to himself.

Satan, we must come to a resolution between us!

The island centered around the Temple of Heroes was surrounded by the sea and housed over a million fallen angels. If the God of Asura commanded, they would attack Satan's stronghold!

(Satan)

The fallen angels formed a circle around the four buildings of the Newman Group, and the guardians inside quickly succumbed to the terrifying elemental power of the fallen angels.

Many guardians wearing silver armor retreated to the three-story battle laboratory at the center of the headquarters.

"For the holy war, for the light! In the name of the cross, we swear, defenders of the Crusaders!"

The leader of the defenders, Orzhin, raised his large sword and thrust it into the ground, injecting blue energy into the sky, once again creating a small protective shield.

Crackling!

A loud boom resounded, and the sky was immediately filled with dark clouds, thunder, and lightning. Orzhin couldn't help but silently curse.

In the lightning, a golden deity who controlled thunder appeared. He was the leader of the fallen angels, the God of Thunder - Yuanhui!

"General Orzhin, perhaps calling you my Lord Paladin is more appropriate."

"Thor! You...you have awakened, Odin wouldn't..."

He didn't have the confidence to finish his sentence.

Yuanhui looked at him disdainfully, with contempt in his eyes.

You are not worthy of mentioning Lord Odin, the traitor of the divine history is not even worthy of Lord Odin's personal intervention."

"Traitor? Our original continent of Saint Ronika has long been under the control of Lord Satan, Odin's era has ended!"

"How naive! Do you really think Satan is all-powerful?"

After speaking, Yuanhui reached out towards the void in front of him, and a hammer of lightning, hundreds of zhang long, woven from lightning, fell from the sky.

The guardians widened their eyes in shock as they watched the thunderous hammer fall on the protective barrier.

Bang!

After a deafening explosion, the protective barrier remained intact, without even a crack!

"How is this possible?"

Yuanhui's vision suddenly went dark. Is this tortoise-shell made up of crosses really so strong?

No, there are faint blue fluctuations of elemental power on the protective barrier, with a hint of dark golden elemental flow mixed in.

Is it Satan?

If that is true, then Lord Asura himself must personally appear to shatter this eggshell.

Hoo, hoo, hoo...!

The dark golden scythe rose into the sky, and then slowly began to expand, getting bigger and bigger until two immense wings engulfed the sky.

The situation is about to reverse...?

Such powerful energy, not inferior to Lord Asura, could it be that it's really going to appear?

"Over here, my lord!"

The captain of a small squad of fallen angels suddenly called out to Yuanhui, urging him to retreat.

"Leave Satan to us, Lord Thor, you should leave first!"

The battle gradually intensified, with silver soldiers and black fallen angels mixing together, it could already be considered chaos.

Yuanhui saw that the situation was not good and quickly recalled most of the lower-ranking fallen angels who couldn't withstand the holy light.

The three more powerful scorching angels were able to directly engage in conflict with the temple knights precisely because they were not affected by the holy light.

"It seems things are getting more interesting!"
