2025-08-06 20:59:01"Clang!"
A harsh, piercing clash of metal exploded brazenly in the dead-silent sewer!
Viridian stared at his left arm with an expressionless face.
The white mark on his arm, cut by the sharp shard, was slowly fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Not a scratch!
This was the solid, tangible sense of safety brought by the Talent: Hardened Skin!
A deep, soul-rooted swell of satisfaction rose in him, so intense he was nearly intoxicated by it.
He had finally laid the first eternal cornerstone for his supreme throne toward Absolute Immortality!
However, just as he prepared to pick up an even larger stone to test the limits of his new talent—
"Uu... uu uu..."
The intermittent sobs that had earlier been drowned out by the giant crocodile's roar, like a festering ache clinging to the bone, drifted back again.
This time, clearer — and more piercing.
As if... right next door.
All of Veridian's movements halted; the sick rapture that had just appeared on his face froze instantly.
His crimson eyes snapped toward the source of the sound — that deeper, more viscous darkness.
Unknown!
This was something more terrifying than any known enemy!
A cold terror, born from endless waits on a sickbed in a past life, clenched his heart in an instant.
The tiny sense of security he had just gained was, in the face of this unknown threat, as fragile as a sheet of paper.
No.
Before I figure out what that thing is, I have to push my armament to the limit!
Viridian's gaze, like the most precise radar, instantly locked onto the alchemical sluice behind the pipeline that the giant crocodile "guard dog" was protecting!
That's where the thing he needed most right now was!
He didn't hesitate for a moment; at top speed he severed the giant crocodile's paw and, as if cracking a code, pressed the control panel with precise keystrokes.
"Crunch..."
With a teeth-grinding screech, the heavy gate slowly rose.
"Help... help..."
The moment the sluice gate opened, the crying seemed to find an outlet, growing clearer, filled with endless despair and pleading.
Viri-Dian's body went rigid; instead of moving closer, he recoiled like a startled cat, darting back several meters and burying himself completely in the shadows.
A trap?!
Luring prey with a sob?
His mind raced in a frantic whirl in zero point zero one seconds, calculating every possibility.
In the end, an overwhelming thirst for power crushed any thought of retreat.
The higher the risk, the greater the reward!
He held his breath and slipped into the chamber like a wisp of smoke, his target clear—the few rotting wooden crates.
The first crate, scrap iron.
His ears twitched slightly; the crying continued, but now it seemed mingled with a faint, ragged breathing.
The second crate...
Viridian's pupils contracted violently!
A hunter's handheld crossbow, gleaming with a cold, ghostly light, lay quietly among them, and beside it was a tube holding twenty precision-steel bolts!
A perfect ranged weapon!
This meant the margin for error in his "hunt" would increase exponentially!
He grabbed the crossbow in one hand; the icy touch eased his taut nerves just a little.
Just then!
"Ah—!"
A heart-rending scream, without any warning, came from the other side of the wall!
The voice was full of unbearable pain and terror, as if it were undergoing some cruel, inhuman torture.
Then came a dull, heavy "thud! thud!" like a weight striking flesh, and a man's coarse curses.
Viridian froze completely.
He turned his head slowly, his bloodshot eyes fixed on that cold, damp stone wall.
It was not a trap.
On the other side of the wall, something was happening... an act of violence!
And according to this world's "Law of Corruption by Sin"...
A thought so terrifying it made him shudder exploded in his mind!
Viridian's gaze slowly swept over the stone dais in the center of the chamber, where a huge beast-skin map was spread out.
He took a few steps forward, his eyes quickly sweeping across the map.
—The complete map of the Silver Sail City sewers!
His breath suddenly caught!
This wasn't a mere map; it was an oracle tailored for him, the "Night Cleaner"!
However, his gaze did not linger on those webbed lines; it was fixed instead on the corner of the map, on a few special locations marked in blood-red ink.
One of them was, starkly, the very place where he now stood.
And beside that mark were three words that chilled his blood—
“First Sin Feeding Pit.”
A den of sin, a breeding pit!
Those words, like a bolt of black lightning, split through all the fog in an instant!
The cries, the violence...
Not an accident!
Someone was methodically, deliberately "breeding" evil down here in these lightless sewers!
Viridian slowly lifted his head and looked again at the stone wall from which the muffled thuds and screams kept coming.
The vigilance, the gravity, even the fear on his face, at this moment, drained away like the receding tide.
In their place came a mad smile—an expression of extreme greed mixed with cold, calculating reason.
He slowly raised the hunter's crossbow in his hand.
A deep blue panel quietly materialized before his eyes.
[Warning! High concentration of "Sin" detected forming!]
[Source of target: Unknown (behind wall)]
[Sin types: Tyranny (Level 4), Lust (Level 3), Harm (Level 5)...]
[Notice: This place has been long soaked in "sin." Feeding on the target's blood is expected to yield an enormous amount of proficiency!]
Viridian stuck out his tongue and lightly licked his sharp fangs.
The world in his eyes had been utterly transformed.
The cold stone wall was no longer a barrier that kept danger at bay.
It had become a thin sheet of paper over a window leading to paradise.
The heart-rending screams from the other side of the wall were no longer mere noise.
They were the most exquisite, most beautiful, most thrilling—and also the most dangerous—sound in this world...
BOSS respawn alert!
A gleeful, cruel smile split Viridian’s lips.
If the map plainly marked this place as the "First Sin Breeding Pool," then it wasn't a forgotten corner but a working "facility."
There had to be "keepers" — people who would come regularly.
Rather than passively waiting for the fish to bite, it was better to cast a net and bring the whole pond into his hunting grounds!
Viridian's gaze instantly fixed on the alchemical gate that had just opened, the passage to the outside world.
The corner of his mouth lifted, silently, into a cold and cruel arc.
He was going to stage a grand welcoming ceremony for his new diners right at the entrance to his "restaurant."

Chapter 128: Voyage Through the Void — The Shards of Law Amid the Sea of Stars
The moment the Expedition pierced the barrier, the world before Veridian changed completely.There were no stars. No light. No shadow.This was the universe’s reverse side—the scrapyard of laws.Everywhere he looked, a storm of fractured principles swirled—a tempest of radiant chaos.Broken chains of causality writhed like serpents of lightning through the void,while shards of shattered time flickered,casting phantoms of past and future.This was true nothingness—a realm so unstable that even void itself could not hold form.The conceptual ark, Expedition, drifted across this chaotic ocean like a solitary leaf.Any single storm of law could have torn it apart,reducing it to the rawest fragments of concept—to absolute erasure.Veridian stood at the bow, Lilith held gently in his arms.His scarlet eyes were tranquil,showing not
Chapter 127: The Clash of Laws — The Barrier of Nihility and the Primordial Light
The direct confrontation with the Supreme Being began earlier than anyone could have foreseen—and in a way no one could have imagined.Veridian hovered before the deck of the Expedition, Lilith held tightly in his arms.His scarlet eyes gazed calmly at the unseen barrier that stretched across the void before him.[ACCESS DENIED]The command—woven from the pure concept of Termination—was cold, absolute, undeniable.Go around it?There was no point.On the level of law, the barrier had no thickness, and yet it was omnipresent.It did not seal off space—it sealed off the very concept of advancement.Veridian’s expression remained utterly still.He understood well: this was Nihility’s final warning—and a test.A test of how much worth this newly crowned Lord of Law truly possessed.To retreat would mean e
Chapter 126: The Descent of the Void — Expedition to the Primordial Land
Viridian did not summon storms nor clash head-on with the vast will of the Void that loomed across the stars. He chose restraint.To fight the Void now would be to overturn the board itself—and a true chessmaster never does that when he’s just discovered there’s a wider game beyond it.Direct confrontation was the last resort.The Void’s “Primordial Wither” project was not a battle, but a cosmic reformatting—a system purge meant to overwrite existence itself.In that case, the “Primordial Land” and the unknown world that had sent its faint cry for help were like the unformatted partitions of a dying hard drive—places the Void’s code had not yet reached.Perhaps, within them, hid the true source code of the virus capable of rewriting the entire system.Viridian’s will fixed upon two sets of coordinates. One shone like a lighthouse—clear, stable, and
Chapter 125: Beyond the Chessboard — The Call from an Unknown World
Viridian’s will hovered like a dead and silent universe—vast, cold, and infinitely deep. He was ready. Ready to face the final judgment of the Void, ready to push this war that had devoured the stars to its ultimate conclusion.Yet just as he prepared to turn his will into the first blade to pierce the heart of the Void, a tremor rippled through the soul-link that bound him to Lilith.It wasn’t an alarm.It wasn’t danger.It was something far more delicate—something distant, almost trembling.Viridian’s consciousness plunged into the link.He could see it clearly now: Lilith’s radiant “Primordial Core” was releasing two distinct pulses of resonance. One was bright and steady, like a lighthouse in an endless sea, pointing directly toward the coordinates of the “Primordial Land”—the home of creation itself.The other... was faint, elusive, and heartbreakingly fragile.
Chapter 124: Unification of Laws — The Perfect Cycle of Termination and Origin
Viridian’s will withdrew from the battlefield where laws intertwined.Like the retreat of a tide, it faded silently, returning to the sealed chamber of the Saint Abyss Workshop.His body remained seated upon the metal throne, utterly motionless, as though he had never left.Yet his soul-core had undergone a transformation so vast it could no longer be measured by mortal standards.The wrath of [The Void] loomed above him like a storm of cosmic darkness—cold, suffocating, and filled with murderous intent that pressed against his awareness like the weight of infinity.Viridian ignored it.He closed his eyes calmly and began counting his spoils.A siege meant to hunt down three of the Apocalypse Knights had, in the end, become a grand feast—one devoured entirely by him.The authority of Pestilence, the law governing disease and decay, coiled within his soul like gray, venomous vines.The authority of Annihilation, born from the Inquisitor’s power to erase concepts themselves, rested like
Chapter 123: Requiem of Death — The Symphony of Origin and Termination
Viridian’s will stood like the coldest of spectators, observing a symphony of laws he himself had orchestrated.At the heart of the secret outpost, the battlefield had transcended matter, becoming a clash of concepts.From Lilith’s small frame, pure light of [Origin] poured forth endlessly. Around the Apocalypse Knight of Death, shadows of [Termination] coiled and thickened.The two forces intertwined with violent intensity.Yet there was no explosion. No thunderous roar.This was no brawl of destruction.Lilith’s awakening had not chosen resistance. She had chosen embrace.The light of Origin spread like a tide, gentle yet irresistible, flowing across Death’s domain. It did not purify darkness. It declared the existence of light.For the first time, the Apocalypse Knight of Death found his law confronted by an opponent that made no sense.His essence was deletion.Lilith’s essence wa
