Chapter 1700 1700: The Eden
"The most important thing is..." Fearless laughed again, "We can still make some profit from this."
"Isn't that just taking advantage of others...?" Wang Yu replied, feeling a bit exasperated.
"One party is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, that's called a fair trade. Losing money can avert disaster!" Fearless shamelessly remarked. "Should we just kill them all and demand reparations?"
"Uh..."
Wang Yu had strong combat skills, but his verbal sparring was quite weak. It was like seeking punishment to go up against Fearless; in just a few exchanges, Fearless had left Wang Yu at a loss for words.
If it were someone else, claiming they would wipe out the Morning Silence Guild would definitely be bragging. However, with the Quan Zhen Sect, it wasn't impossible; we had the strength to back up our words...
"Don't worry!" Seeing Wang Yu still a bit conflicted, Fearless patted him on the shoulder and said, "The dual mission doesn't mean it's completely over if we fail. There will definitely be follow-up tasks for recovery. Besides, this is a storyline mission; no matter how shameless the game designers are, they wouldn't dare to cut off players' storylines..."
"You do have a point!"
Upon hearing Fearless's words, Wang Yu finally felt relieved.
...
The Holy Light Cathedral remained solemn and dignified, with light streaming in through the windows above, illuminating the entire cathedral.
The holy statue of the God of Light stood at the entrance, but unlike before, there was now a teleportation portal right beneath it.
Although the Holy Light Cathedral was large, it was easy to understand like a hall. At this moment, the cathedral was empty, and it seemed that the Holy Soul's Child, whom Wang Yu was searching for, was likely inside this teleportation portal.
So, Wang Yu and the others walked up to the teleportation array and stepped inside. When they regained their senses, they found themselves in a garden.
<System prompt: Your team has activated the dungeon "Eden." The Holy Soul's Child, representing justice and peace, has awakened.>
"What the heck! Eden?" Upon seeing the system prompt, everyone was taken aback.
Could it be that this Holy Soul's Child is named Adam?
Although none of them had seen what was supposedly Eden, they had at least heard of it...
Under this gimmick, the Eden designed by the game designers might not be as extravagant as the legends suggested, but it certainly looked the part.
Exotic flowers and plants, beautiful scenery, gems scattered everywhere, luxurious and splendid, with all sorts of rare birds and beasts.
In the garden, angels flew around in groups.
These angels all had pure white wings, but their appearances were completely different.
The angels at the front of the group wore armor, wielding a holy sword in one hand and holding a crusader shield in the other, looking very valiant.
The angels in the middle were dressed in white robes, holding a staff shaped like a cross in their left hand and cradling the "Divine Light Oracle" in their right hand, their faces filled with piety.
The angels at the back looked like children, exquisitely carved and very cute, holding bows and arrows.
Using a detection spell, the information about these angels appeared before everyone.

Elite monsters of the divine race at level 85.
Since the opening of the new expansion, angels and demons from the celestial and demonic realms have crossed through time-space rifts into the Rebirth World.
The Quan Zhen Sect had already encountered these other-dimensional beings in Twilight City.
It must be said that these monsters were quite powerful; ordinary demonic and divine monsters were significantly stronger than the same-level native elite monsters, while those elite monsters marked with the "Divine Race and Demon Race" insignia were comparable to ordinary bosses.
However, according to game settings, the more powerful the creature, the more energy it consumes to traverse the space rift. Because the time-space rift is unstable, while there are indeed some divine and demonic minor monsters in the wild, they generally have lower levels, and elite monsters are quite rare.
Today is the first day of the new expansion, and the highest-level demonic monsters the Quan Zhen Sect had seen were only level 50.
To their surprise, they encountered level 85 high-level divine monsters here.
No wonder this was the lair of the God of Light; it truly was a place of abundant resources and talent.
These angels before them formed a standard combination of Warriors and archers. As divine beings, these angels surely had no lack of healing methods, effectively providing their group with self-sustaining healing, making such a combination quite powerful—almost like a boss team with control, defense, damage output, and healing.
Fortunately, the game designers weren't so shameless; these angels patrolled in pairs, maintaining a distance that prevented them from triggering a chain reaction if one was attacked.
This was still quite humane.
After all, it was a storyline mission; while it was acceptable for the bosses to be tough and annoying, there was no need to make the minor monsters so overpowered.
Otherwise, if they attacked here and a wave of boss-like minor monsters swarmed in, the players would have no gaming experience at all, which would essentially be a deterrent.
Since it wasn't a chain reaction, the difficulty was significantly reduced. Fearless casually waved his hand and instructed Yang Nuo, "Engage the monsters!"
"Okay!"
Yang Nuo raised her hand, aiming her crossbow at the Judgment Angel among the pair of angels in front.
The Judgment Angel was evidently a spellcaster, acting as the primary AOE damage dealer in the group; spellcasters are generally the primary targets.
"Whoosh!"
Yang Nuo's arrow whistled through the air towards the Judgment Angel.
However, just as everyone thought the arrow would hit the Judgment Angel, the Guardian Angel beside it suddenly raised its shield.
"Clang!!"
Yang Nuo's arrow struck the shield, creating a spark.
The three angels immediately turned their attention towards Wang Yu and his group, and in unison, they shouted, "The holiness of the God of Light is inviolable! Intruders, you have desecrated the land of the divine; this is unforgivable!"
