From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man - Chapter 389

c379 Greed, ambition, pleasure, “We have no money”

The “boatman” wears simple clothes, has long hair and beard, and has white eyes with no pupils.

As if unconsciously, he controlled the oars and slowly brought the ferry boat closer to Jialan and the others.

roar–!

Ouch——!

At this time, the roar and roar of wild beasts came from behind Jialan and others.

Hear the sound and go.

Everyone saw three huge female wolves, male lions and leopards strolling out of the dark forest, staring at them with their strange green eyes.

Even if Serin didn’t explain, the Dark Angels including Garland and Aldemo (the company champion) also knew that the three beasts in front of them were——

The she-wolf that symbolizes greed,

The lion, which symbolizes ambition, and the leopard, which symbolizes pleasure.

Among them, the smallest female wolf is fifteen meters long and about eight meters high.

The most important thing is that while they are constantly approaching Jialan and others, they are also exuding their respective “auras” to try to erode and corrupt Jialan and others.

But the reply in response to them was——

Damn! Damn!

Ri~——Phew! !

The roar of high-explosive bolts and plasma.

boom–! boom!

“Ouch!!!”

The female wolf, male lion and leopard that were attacked by the concentrated fire howled in anger.

Immediately afterwards.

The largest male lion shouldered the offensive of high-explosive missiles and plasma, stretched out its four claws, and took the lead in charging towards Jialan and others standing on the shore.

Seeing this, Serin, who was guarded by a group of dark angels, reminded her calmly:

“Everyone, according to my preliminary analysis, they are all “native” creatures in the hell dimension, just like the demons living in the subspace.

Therefore, live ammunition weapons in the physical universe have minimal impact on them.

Either increase the power of your plasma firearms, or”

“Or kill them with your own hands!”

Before Serin could finish her reminder, Jialan took the initiative to add something.

And the company commander wearing a Hades-type Terminator violently shook his right hand.

Buzz~——Thunder——pop——!

The power claw set on the arm armor of his right arm, as Garan shook his hand, extended into a long and extremely sharp mithril claw blade beating with blue lightning.

Boom–boom–! !

Then, Galan charged in the opposite direction towards the huge lion.

“Protect Ms. Serling.”

“Brothers, get rid of that ugly wolf and leopard.”

“Give me the leopard.”

The remaining company guards also used extremely calm metallic voices to communicate.

Forty company guards were seen forming a formation, using giant shields to protect Serin behind them. The guards, holding 60mm plasma rifles in one hand, also aimed at the smallest female wolf.

Ri~——!

The charged light and subtle electronic sound effects circulated among the formations of the guards.

Whoosh~——whoosh——!

The next second, more than a dozen huge plasma cannons that lit up the surrounding environment and emitted dazzling blue light cut through the air that would make ordinary people feel depressed and suffocated, and hit the she-wolf that represented greed one after another.

boom! Boom——! !

The she-wolf who was hit by the plasma cannon was instantly burned by the extremely high-temperature plasma flames without even being able to scream or howl.

As for the lion and leopard, which represent ambition and enjoyment?

As the company champion, Aldaimo faced his “fancy” target ahead of Garan, who charged ahead, which was a leopard that was over 18 meters long.

Aldaimer did not laugh boldly or roar with rage like the Astartes of other legions, especially the Space Wolves.

“Meeting me is your greatest misfortune, you beast.”

The company champion just said “facts” in a metallic tone calmly, then he bent his knees and jumped, allowing himself, who weighed over a ton, to easily avoid the leopard’s claws.

At the same time, Aldemo also jumped on top of the leopard, brandished the power sword wrapped in the plasma force field, and stabbed the leopard in the neck——

Pfft——! !

The high power field and sharp blade successfully pierced the skin of the giant beast.

“Ouch~!!”

The severe pain also caused the leopard to roar deafeningly.

But Aldemo had no intention of stopping.

He grasped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, and relied on his over-ton weight and strong strength to forcefully widen the gap in the leopard’s neck.

Then, Aldemo freed up his left hand and took out a metallic hydrogen grenade specially designed for the Astartes.

He pulled open the ring with one hand, released the safety, and pushed the metal hydrogen grenade into the gap.

Then, Aldemo exerted force on his waist and “stepped” on the side of the leopard’s neck with the soles of his feet. He continued to perform kneeling jumps, causing him to “bounce” away from the leopard and at the same time, he also pulled out his Exclusive power sword.

While Aldemo was in mid-air, he performed a backflip with great agility and landed successfully——

Ri~Boom——! ! !

The metallic hydrogen grenade that Aldemo thrust into the leopard’s body also turned into a miniature sun, lighting up the entire river bank and surrounding forest.

The leopard, which represented pleasure, was “vaporized” and “evaporated” by the individual tactical weapon before it even had time to scream.

Aldemo, as if he had done a trivial “little thing”, turned his back to the fleeting miniature sun, and used the blade of the power sword to touch the left shoulder armor with the word “正” written all over it. Gently cut a horizontal character “乛”.

The many “positive” characters on the shoulder armor represent that Aldaimo personally eliminated at least a hundred individuals whose strength was no less than that of the “vaporized” and “evaporated” pleasure leopards.

At the same time, Jialan’s side was the first to rush out.

Buzz~——呲——哧拉——!

The most massive ambitious lion was cut into several pieces by the “tiny” Jialan, who used the power claws beating with the lightning force field.

Within the Dark Angels 1st Company, the individual is actually the strongest, and there is no doubt that Garland Crowe is the company commander.

But the position of company commander was hand-picked by Leon, not to mention that Galan had stronger management and business capabilities than the other veterans of the 1st company.

That’s why Garland Crowe had to give up his “favorite” fighting and killing to take up the position of company commander.

Having to face the reasonable distribution, task arrangement, etc. of more than 200,000 people every day, Jialan has long been holding back his “unknown anger.”

Now there is finally a “bigger” lion who can make him return to being a pure warrior who doesn’t have to think about anything, so he can naturally use all his abilities.

And where has the Ambitious Lion ever seen a “violent-tempered” Astartes veteran?

The believers, knights, and nuns who had successfully crossed the dark forest in the past, let alone confront them head-on, would eagerly climb onto the “ferry boat” and escape just by hearing their low roars.

But these guys dressed like knights of the Knights in front of them are not afraid of death, and they are not afraid of the temptations and threats of various whispers.

It really exceeded their expectations.

In addition, there were too many people passing through the gate of hell this time. If “people” such as Galan, Aldemo, and Serin boarded the ferry unscathed, then the three of them would definitely be severely criticized and punished by the Lord of Hell.

After all, they are just “workers” and need to complete fixed performance and targets.

That’s why they took the initiative to walk out of the dark forest, expose their true identity to Jialan and others, and prepare to rely on their “incomparably powerful” strength to kill half of the Dark Angels, which can be regarded as an explanation to their superiors.

But this move caused the three of them to die suddenly.

The greedy she-wolf was burned completely by the high-power plasma cannon after being “charged”, the pleasure-seeking leopard was “evaporated”, and the ambitious lion was cut into several pieces and died without a complete body.

“Captain Clovis, it is already dead. There is no need to attack again. This may destroy its original organizational structure.”

At this time, Serin opened her mouth to stop Jialan, who was still cutting and dismembering the body.

She left the line of company guards, took out the tools she carried with her, and began to extract blood and tissue samples using the broken pieces of the Ambitious Lion.

Extraction completed.

Serin did not forget to take out another crystal peony-shaped pure flower from the metal storage box on her side and planted it on the barren gray soil.

Then, the flowers of purity began to spread until the entire dark forest was purified.

Moreover, the roots of the Flower of Purity come from Sui Yang, so ordinary hell creatures, such as the three beasts representing greed, ambition, and pleasure, are completely helpless and can only watch the “spread” of the Flower of Purity.

What’s more, those three beasts had already been executed by Jialan and others.

Even the creatures living in hell also have the nature of “immortality” and will be “resurrected” in a short time, but they will eventually be “purified” and “assimilated” by the flowers of purity.

“.”

As for Garan who had already closed her power claws and remained silent, Serin was patiently waiting for a series of operations.

Seeing that Serin had completed collecting samples and planting “flowers”, he walked towards the ferry boat parked on the shore and reminded on the communication channel:

“Everyone, please pay attention. The ferryman in front of you should be the legendary Charon.

But we don’t have the so-called gold coins and golden branches, so we are prepared to board the ship by force or even kill Charon. ”

In the myths and legends of the main universe, Charon is the boatman responsible for ferrying the deceased across the River Styx. The deceased needs to pay “one gold coin” before they can successfully board the boat and cross the river.

If a living person wants to board the ship, he must provide Charon with the golden branches of Persephone’s garden before he can board the ship and cross the river.

Of course, the mythological system of the main universe is chaotic. Charon should be a character in ancient Greek mythology, and “The Divine Comedy: Inferno” is inseparable from Jesus and God.

The boatman in “The Divine Comedy: Inferno” is actually “Charon”.

Therefore, Jialan couldn’t figure out where to get gold coins and golden branches for the time being, so he had to ask his brothers to be more alert and board the ship by force.

Serin and the Dark Angel gathered around the “wooden boat” that didn’t look big, but was big enough to accommodate them all.

“.”

She wanted to make some suggestions for a safer way to cross the river.

But as Garan said, they did not have the so-called gold coins and golden branches, so they chose to remain silent and let the Dark Angels do their thing.

A company guard standing at the forefront, with his lower legs submerged in the river, just observed it and prepared to board the ship forcefully according to Galan’s order.

But as soon as the guard approached the ferry boat, Charon, who had no pupils and was over three meters tall, bent down, lowered his head, and stretched out his left hand.

It was obvious from the look that Charon was asking for gold coins or golden branches.

But where did the Guard get the “money” to pay for it?

So he raised his hands, grabbed the side of the boat, and boarded the ferry boat with a little effort.

Seeing the guards forcefully boarding the ship, Charon suddenly showed an angry expression, and said loudly in an echo-like accent:

“Ignorant guy, you will be held responsible for your recklessness.”

Bang——!

However, before Charon could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the dull sound of his fist hitting his body.

Just look at the guard who was the first to board the ship. When Charon scolded him sharply, he waved his right fist with a force far beyond the ton level at Charon’s “middle door wide open” abdomen.

“cough–!”

This punch was so unbearable for Charon, a supernatural creature, that he bent over and coughed violently.

The guard raised his left hand, spread his fingers, and squeezed the back of Charon’s neck. The tip of his right fist pressed against Charon’s jaw and said in a deep voice:

“Man, I don’t care which mythological system you are a Charon, but we are here to kill all the hell lords and hell demons, so we must cross the river to the first level of hell.”

“Money or.”

“We have no money.” The guard interrupted Charon again, and threatened with the unique metallic voice of the Astartes after wearing the helmet:

“Take us across the river, quickly.”

As he spoke, the guard’s fingers on his left hand increased in strength.

Charon: “.”

Celine: “.”

I don’t know how long later, on the other side of the Agron River (River of Sorrow);

Jialan and others jumped out of the ferry boat, stepped on the river water with their calves half submerged, crossed the shoal, and successfully landed ashore.

Wow~! Wow~——! !

Charon, who was holding the oar tightly with both hands, saw Jialan and others coming ashore one after another, and immediately controlled the ferry boat to return to normal size, away from the river bank at an extremely fast speed, and disappeared into the thick mist.

“.”

Serin, who was standing by the river bank, was speechless.

She knows Leon, and she also knows that the Dark Angels are a group of “reckless men who appear to be civilized people.”

But threatening the Hell Boatman really exceeded her expectations.

Celine originally wanted to imitate Virgil in “The Divine Comedy: Inferno” and use the eloquence of artificial intelligence to reach an agreement with the stubborn Charon and transport them across the Aglon River.

However, the Dark Angels imitated the Greek demigod Heracles, using violent beatings and threats to achieve “cooperation” with Charon.

In response, Serin just shrugged, then turned around to follow Galan and others, deep into the first level of hell——

Lingbo.

There are blue skies, white clouds and grasslands that are the same as those in the real world, as well as medieval-style villages, towns and castles.

At the same time, countless “people” live here, either wandering aimlessly, dazed, or engaging in endless fighting.

Garland, Serin and others standing on the edge could also find that the place was sinking layer by layer.

In the very center, there is an abyss that emits a strange red light.
