Order is an important covenant that maintains the laws of the natural world.

All things in the world maintain balance under the constraints of the covenant, allowing all creatures to coexist.

Order and laws exist like this in the world.

However, just over ten thousand centuries ago,

Not long ago, the channel connecting the two worlds was restored to unimpeded status, and many creatures that had ceased to exist once again returned to this homeland after a long absence.

Many people and animals were looking forward to this return because they had heard some beautiful rumors about the original continent since they were young!

For example, the original continent had the most brilliant sunlight and the richest and most diverse resources.

And one thing was most important, and that was the air of the original continent.

Legend has it that although the vegetation on the original continent was not one percent of Saint Veronica's, the air resources were unparalleled fresh.

Although the conjecture about the original continent was still speculation before the gate opened, until now, it really arrived at the original continent...

Here, under the control of humans, it is simply hell on earth!

Tall smokestacks are constantly emitting foul-smelling smoke.

The human population has reproduced far beyond its limits, causing other creatures that were originally of the same kind to suffer from serious pollution!

"Ah, it's so pitiful and tragic to die like this!"

On the withering branches of the dying leaves, the man in black occasionally encountered two sparrows that still had a trace of vitality. A hint of pity rose in his heart.

With a somewhat regretful expression, the man in black put them both into his own pocket.

"Never mind, as long as there is hope, you won't die!"

"You're really a kind-hearted demon king, Lord Lucifer."

Another person wearing the same black cloak, with the golden pattern on the cloak turning into a silver one, suddenly appeared in front of the man in black.

The two of them smiled at each other, and then the man in black opened his mouth and asked in a somewhat childish tone.

"Yuanhui, do you regret following me?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is my own choice, why would I regret it."

"...Thank you, I won't let you and everyone down!"

"Well, we all believe in you wholeheartedly. By the way, it's only when we left that we truly understood what regret means, right?"

"...Indeed."

They were the last terminators of the human era. Perhaps they were not widely circulated in the Saint Veronica continent, but in the original continent, they had long made the human camp tremble in fear.

Because their leader was the great dominator, people called him the Demon Lord Lucifer!

"Yuanhui."

"What's wrong, Shura?"

Yuanhui felt that today he seemed to have some words that he didn't want to say, but he had to tell them.

Shura did not answer immediately, but slowly reached out and picked off a withered yellow leaf, while asking him.

"If... I mean if, one day I am no longer like this, if one day I leave or turn into another person, can you imagine if he would fulfill this shared wish with me?"

"I think maybe he will, but maybe he won't. After all, Shura, you haven't told him yourself, so he wouldn't understand, right?"

"Yes, we have collected enough. Let's go!"

Like this, Yuanhui, somewhat surprised, followed behind Shura and disappeared into the desolate desert accompanied by a sudden blue light rising from under their feet.

Since then, the world has begun to collapse! Darkness began to spread around this world, and a peculiar creature called the Fallen Angel became the main force of this disaster!

The Saint Veronica side also expressed suspicion towards the Great Demon King Lucifer.

The Sorcerer Center finally sent people to the original continent to search for Lucifer's whereabouts, but there have been no results.

Finally, this matter alarmed the gods in the Hall of Heroes, and the Eight Kings Conference was established!

They focused too much on the Lucifer rebellion, actually treating him as a rebel.

Rather, it should be clarified, who is Lucifer after all?!

The name Lucifer was once derived from the earliest Divine Lord, the Dragon Emperor who ruled this continent, and humans rose under Lucifer's leadership...

At that time, animals were also greedy like humans, and history is always surprisingly similar.

After that, seasons came and went, repeating for two whole years, at least in some areas.

Ninety-nine percent of the Earth's land had already been covered with a thick layer of ice and snow.

Even the vast Pacific Ocean had been ravaged by frost and frozen, and only a few scattered humans survived in the icy underground.

But they couldn't hold on for long...

"We're back, hey! Hurry up, it's safe here!"

A girl whose features were covered with snow wiped the snow from the corner of her eye and pulled down the goggles on her military cap.

In the moment she turned around, a humanoid monster with giant wings faintly appeared behind her in the blizzard, and two small red dots emitting a bloody light suddenly became filled with an intent to kill.

But the blue-eyed girl was completely unaware of this, still shouting to the others under the ten-meter ice layer.

"Hey, Paroni, grab my hand..."

"Yukari, behind you!"

The red-haired boy reminded her loudly as he was halfway pulled, and he struggled to draw the Magic Sword with his extra left hand.

Unexpectedly, it was true, the beast race had a cooperative relationship with the pseudo-humans in the original world.

Whoosh whoosh--!

At the critical moment, a hurricane of arrows shot from behind them pierced the two blood-red eyes!

"Woo ao ao...!"

It clearly was a monster, but it made human sounds. What in the world was happening?!

"No, it's not our Saint Veronica's beast race, or rather, Saint Veronica cannot give birth to such creatures!"

The instructor who had been accompanying them the whole way, Fuyu, the biology teacher and also Paroni's mentor, exclaimed, covering her mouth.

She seemed unusually excited.

Watching the fleeing figure of the bird-beast, Fuyu teacher, whether because it was too hot or for some other reason, happily shouted with a face flushed red.

"Incredible, truly incredible! Can such terrifying creatures be born in this strictly ordered original world?!"

"I've seen him!"

"Huh?"

Fuyu teacher was somewhat surprised, but soon thought that Paroni and the others had come from this world, perhaps they had already encountered him before?

Of course, there were also native Saint Veronica people here.

That's always having a gloomy face, and constantly trying to save face, saying something about maintaining the elegance of the nobility of Hordos.

There is also Fuyu teacher, who is said to also come from the noble children of Imperial City.

Returning to this world, each of them felt a powerful sense of oppression constraining everyone here.

"This kind of power...how is it possible?!"

In the instant Hordos walked out of the ice cellar, he felt that a certain competence within his body was being stripped away by someone.

"The Divine Lord should have disappeared long ago, why is this power still so clear in this world?"

"No, this is not the order of the Divine Lord, it's just some trickery someone simulated to deceive us!"

Fuyu teacher comforted the shocked Hordos and then kicked the ice wall behind her with all her strength.

Boom...!

A deafening sound suddenly resounded, and the iceberg collapsed into a pile of debris in an instant!

Looking at such a shocking scene, Paroni and the others thought to themselves:

Impressive, indeed the teacher. Although she has lost her competence, just relying on her vitality can still give us a good beating.

"But even so, even if it's trickery, someone capable of using such a large-scale competence can easily seal even an S-class sorcerer. It means their strength has surpassed the level of SSS."

This statement is incorrect. The dominator should have long ceased to exist. Is it possible for someone to surpass the level of SSS?

Standing in the snowstorm-battered snow plain, where they stood was the starting point of the old world!

Losing competence but retaining vitality? In short, they finally reached a conclusion.

"In this world, we cannot freely use competence, but vitality can still be used. This shows that although some god once imposed a treaty of balance here, someone has appeared and broken a part of it, causing this world to gradually descend into chaos!"

A very long time has passed, yet the blizzard showed no signs of stopping.

As expected, as Saint Veronica's instructors said, there are no human lives living here anymore?

The group walked along the edge of the cliff, stepping on the thick accumulated ice layer.

Everyone was cautious because even with the protection of vitality, falling down like this would still cause serious injuries!

"Don't worry, if we find out that there is no beast tribe base here, we will leave immediately, without staying any longer!"

Our team has already received the task of exterminating the beast tribe for the third time.

I...Paroni, have always been skeptical about the outcome of war, but now I have given up. If I find myself in a certain situation, I will act according to the method appropriate for that situation.

"I've gotten used to this kind of life!"

"Is that so?"

"Ah...!"

I was suddenly tapped on the shoulder from behind by Lanjie, and I was startled. My body almost toppled off the edge of the cliff, but fortunately, Hordos pulled me back in time.

After being pulled back, I heaved a sigh of relief and then, of course, gave Lanjie a scolding.

"You idiot, you almost sent me flying just now!"

"Oh, accidentally, accidentally!"

"......"

"Don't look at me like that. If you pay attention, you won't have so many problems, right?"

"Stop arguing. We have reached the bottom!"

We didn't realize until now that Fuyu and the others could actually step on the edge of the cliff!

Ah! The atmosphere among the three of us started to become awkward.

"You three idiots, hahaha!"

"Although it's a joke, we must not forget the mission we were assigned here!"

Fuyu slapped Yukari, who was mocking our clumsiness, on the head, and gave orders to the rest of us.

"Our goal is to investigate those unidentified creatures first, understood?"
