The white and transparent grand hall looked as if it were carved out of a giant piece of crystal. In one glance, it was clear but bottomless like a deep spring.
“Princess, Your Highness!” The middle-aged guard kneeled on one knee.
“Is there anything… interesting that happened?” A woman sat on a tall throne made with crystals and precious stones. Her feet rested on the pedestal which was as high as the guard’s head.
This girl looked to be about 19 years old. The skin revealed by her sleeveless ice-blue long dress was whiter than snow. With her hands in silk gloves and resting on her lap, she looked dignified and elegant like a statue of a goddess.
With her youthful looks, it was hard to connect her to that legendary existence.
“Yes?” Her gaze lowered to him coldly.
The guard immediately answered, “The information from the Judgement Godly Palace shows that the Vanguard General and army that they sent to attack that plane seemed to have been captured!”
“Oh? Hehe… In a barbaric plane?!” At this moment, the existence sitting on the throne showed some interest.
…
The Judgement Godly Palace seemed to have existed on this land for a long, long time.
Their presences could be seen everywhere in this world.
They spread their beliefs all over the world. In fact, they had members inside many nations.
It was one of the largest powerhouses in the complicated power system on this continent.
A man wore a milky-white priest robe decorated with the pattern of a strange hexagonal flame.
A huge dragon with crystal-like silver scales lay beside him.
Sitting on the highest position in the grand hall, his head was on the same level of the huge dragon’s head, looking down at the mortals like a god.
The presence that he emitted was so hot that it could suffocate anyone who came close to him. In contrast, his eyes were as cold as ice.
“God said that flames will burn up all sins,” he said slowly. According to the records in the Godly Palace, this man who looked to be about 30 years old with dazzling handsome facial features had once served the God.
“God said that anyone who betrays the glories of God will be judged and punished.”
Such an existence stood at the top of the continent.
Carl and his two companions hadn’t expected that Judgement Godly Palace would know about their capture so soon.
After all, as the Flame Inquisitor, he had his own means and channels that were unknown to others.
“The Vanguard General and his two companions are elites of the Godly Palace.” Two rows of people stood neatly before the Flame Inquisitor. The people in one row wore silver armor while the people in the other row wore white priest robes.
Only a handful of people standing in the very front wore red robes and red armor, a sharp contrast from the rest.
Each of them emitted a horrifying presence. The further ahead they stood, the greater the presence they emitted.
Their expressions were cold, but their eyes had heat in them.
“I’m sad that some of our people have discarded their godly patterns and betrayed the glory of God.”
“Please release the holy flames and purge their sins!” One white-robed priest bowed and said.
They talked as if they could decide people’s lives with one word.
“No.” The white-robed man who looked as holy as a god said, “I think they only submitted and behaved against the law due to suppression; they still have a chance for redemption.”
“The people who dragged them down should be purged by the holy flame,” the haughty, godlike man said.
“I’m willing to lead the Godly Punishment Army to execute the godly punishment!” This time, the man standing in the foremost opened his mouth and spoke. He wore bright red armor engraved with a golden hexagonal flame pattern, and in the center of the flame was a holy hammer.
Only six people in the grand hall wore such armor.
They were members of the Judgement Knight Legion. Each of them possessed great strength unimaginable to mortals.
“No. You shouldn’t have to undertake such a trivial mission,” the existence sitting on the high pedestal said calmly.
“It’s only a small task to destroy a barbaric plane.” A man wearing a golden robe walked up. “I think the Thorn Flower Family and Flame Bird Family who serve our God are willing to do the job.”
Sitting on the extremely tall pedestal, the Flame Inquisitor nodded slightly.
“The people who lured God’s children and made them fall should be punished most severely. Let that person of the Dark Wing Knight Legion do the job.”
…
“Achoo!” Mr. Fang suddenly sneezed and thought, Who’s thinking of me?
At this moment, he was managing the new shop.
With all his attention focused on how to nurture the ‘new flowers’, he was oblivious to the hidden currents after having a new goal. He had no idea what was going on.
“Wow-!” The young people had gotten online, and they found that the computers in the shop were totally different from their experience in the traditional cultivation mystical realms.
“Are these magical items made by the oriental spellcasters…?” The freckled young man was Joseph, and the green-haired and green-eyed girl was Cia. It was evident that they were amazed by these ‘oriental-style’ magic items.
In fact, hand-to-hand combat techniques were not low-level skills.
They were only weak when used by weak people.
There were differences between techniques; large differences.
However, the simplest fundamental techniques usually contained the greatest potential and variations.
The monster systems in Resident Evil 2 was larger and more complicated than that in Resident Evil 1. Since the game simulated the real world, even soldiers of special forces couldn’t battle with such monsters with their bodies if they didn’t have powerful close-range combat techniques.
The system remake of Resident Evil 2 was different from Resident Evil 1.
It had three difficulty levels for players to choose, and each level required different levels of combat techniques.
In the basic difficulty, the players could choose Leon and Claire. At this stage, Leon was only a new recruit in terms of combat techniques. Although Claire had learned some combat techniques and shooting skills from Chris, she was still a university student and not proficient with these skills.
In the challenge difficulty, the players could choose Chris and Ada whose strengths didn’t need more description.
In the ultimate difficulty, the players were equipped with only one dagger and three herbs. If you passed this difficulty, you probably would know the true meaning of ‘granular control.’
