Mystery Paradise: Wishing Power Demon-Chapter 276 - 275 Endless Hot Battle
Chapter 276: Chapter 275 Endless Hot Battle
Chapter 276 -275 Endless Hot Battle
“War” thus erupted.
It was called war because both sides used firearms, with the ultimate goal of eliminating the living forces of the enemy, thoroughly driving them out of the stage that was Thistlefort. Yet it was not quite like a war, since the troops one side deployed weren’t human in the usual sense, and the outcome had been determined from the start; it was just that few people could foresee it beforehand.
Chaoyang had imagined before, that if he had bodies to waste, what he could achieve in actual combat. Today, he verified that hypothesis—after tuning the pain response to the lowest, Anthony and others became killing machines, controlled by their biological brains. They feared no bullets, and the modern rifles and fragment grenades in their hands always managed to take down a dozen or so enemies before their own “deaths.”
A dozen men provided Chaoyang with new shells, allowing him to descend his soul again and pick up a gun to fight, resulting in a chilling scene for the enemy.
The comrades who had just been killed quickly rose from the ground, wielding weapons that appeared out of nowhere, and fired ferociously at their own. And no matter how numerous or fierce their firepower, it could only spill onto the bodies of fallen comrades. This world had no concept of necromancers, but what they were seeing now was indistinguishable from the undead.
This incomprehensibly terrifying spectacle quickly destroyed the morale of the defending soldiers.
“Heretics, they are heretics!”
“Ah… Don’t shoot me, I’m still alive!”
“Help, somebody save me!”
The soldiers cried out in various screams, even more miserable than prisoners trapped in iron cages. What started as a determined siege soon turned into a rout.
‘You’re getting pretty good at this move,’ Shi Yin praised from his shoulder.
‘Just practice makes perfect,’ Chaoyang replied, standing on the roof of the hall, turning to look toward the castle. The battle at the inner city gate had clearly alarmed other troops; two more teams, each with a hundred or so men, were on their way here. ‘Everyone, be aware, the enemy’s new reinforcements are on the way, don’t let yourself become cut off from our position.’
“Then get me some heavy firepower, 12.7 millimeters or greater, I can hold this intersection by myself!” Anthony shouted loudly.
“Do we really need to fight them to the end?” Zhang Zhiyuan was a bit uneasy, and not nearly as lively as the Russian, “Doesn’t this force have about one or two thousand men?”
Chaoyang could guess his concerns. Compared to this “war,” the killings in the Paradise games were minor skirmishes. To wipe out hundreds of lives in one go was a bit too stimulating for him. Moreover, in previous missions, the players experienced all the misdeeds of the deserving victims throughout, so the psychological burden wasn’t that great. But this time was different, although Chaoyang shared the good deeds of the guard force with them when he pulled these people over, those pieces of information were just plain text, hardly as immersive as witnessing with one’s own eyes.
He suddenly thought of Xue Quan again.
He was much more seasoned, not asking for details when commissioned with a task, but merely considering whether it could be done, which made Chaoyang quite comfortable with his cooperative attitude.
‘If the enemy surrenders, then it would all be much simpler, but unfortunately, they had long considered this city as their forbidden ground, countless acts of plunder and murder, they will not let go easily. We’re just resisting such outrages,’ Chaoyang relayed, ‘If Paradise fails, those civilians imprisoned will probably be slaughtered, so apart from driving them out of Thistlefort completely, we have no other choice.’
“Justice Mr., I find you never learn your lesson!” Anthony managed to mock in between, “I know sometimes we look like tools in the hands of Paradise, like a blood-stained spear, but after so much has happened, have you ever seen Mr. Zhao deliberately deceiving us? It’s not too late to hesitate when you really find out you’ve been tricked someday——Pfft——”
Mid-sentence, a bullet blew away half of his head.

Chaoyang immediately filled Anthony’s consciousness into another enemy body that looked relatively intact.
“Let’s secure the victory first, their reinforcements have arrived!” Cui Zhen’en reminded.
The battle, which had been one-sided, became fierce again, and Zhang Zhiyuan temporarily set aside his concerns to focus on the enemy.
“Hey, what’s happening? Everyone from the camp is out, what’s with the gunfire on your end?” Ailuodi’s voice suddenly rang in his mind.
“What else could it be, the negotiation broke down,” Chaoyang casually replied, “Are the people rescued?”
“Don’t worry, everyone’s here,” Angel said, sounding much happier upon hearing that the negotiation had broken down, “You’d better give those bastards a warm welcome. Let me know if you need support, I’ll go back and rescue a few more people.”
“Wait, wait a minute… Mr. Zhao, what about the previous plan?” Leisk suddenly became worried, “You’re not planning to eliminate them all, are you? I agree with Lord Ailuodi’s feelings, but if you remove the ruler all at once, the city will become paralyzed immediately. I’ve seen places that suddenly lost order a few times, and calling them a living hell would be no exaggeration. Under such circumstances, it might even attract the power of the true Evil God!”
“Rest assured, I’ll handle this,” Chaoyang said with ease, “The city won’t lose control.”
The cost would only be a significant amount of wishing power.
Perhaps the actual situation had deviated from the planned track, but on the other hand, this might also be a good thing.
At least he wouldn’t have to turn a blind eye to those praying desperately anymore.
“Mr. Zhao, can you hear me?”
At that moment, Xue Quan suddenly sent a message.
“Go ahead.”
“This mind communication really tests the imagination…” he chuckled, “The first batch of personnel is already in place, twenty-five people in total, all with managerial experience. The team leader is named Wang Shengli, and you just need to explain the basic situation to him; he will act on his own.”
“That fast?” Chaoyang said, somewhat surprised, “I thought half a day was already pressing.”
“They are all from the research institute. After I reported to the higher-ups, I temporarily pulled them out. This is only the first batch; there should be about a hundred people following, in waves. Managing a city of over a hundred thousand people won’t be a problem.”
The research institute Xue Quan referred to was the assemblage of scholars from various fields brought together through the control center. Some of them were responsible for agriculture, some studied machinery, and others conducted archaeology on the remnants of the Evil God at the Huiqiu Mine. These people totaled over two hundred and could be seen working throughout Magnificent Castle.
Chaoyang immediately realized the advantage of this approach—research staff were accustomed to life in an alternate world and could also take care of newcomers, killing several birds with one stone. However, despite their scholarly background, they were still able to take part in management. Indeed, the pioneers sent in early by the organization were each a talent in their own right.
“Alright, list their names, and I’ll initiate the mind transfer right now.”
This was the root of Chaoyang’s curing plan—mere slaughter would only bring chaos, but now he could effectively manage both aspects! The city wouldn’t fall into the hands of opportunistic bandits and thugs; instead, it would be replaced by a brand-new order!
It would officially come under the control of the Paradise Sect, becoming another Magnificent Castle across the sea.
