"Huh?"
The apostle who had spoken first was a little bewildered.
He had barely looked at his panel lately, so he had missed Paradise's recruitment notice.
After all, he had only just returned from a troublesome mission and deliberately taken seven days off before coming back on duty to do the occasional mission. Where would he find the time to spend every day in the chat group?
"It's true. I heard from the World-Reclamation Apostles over there that they're so busy they're practically taking flight."
"Some worlds have only just broken free of control, and one careless mistake could trigger a Great Shattering. Others have lost the protection of their formations and, exposed to the void of the Cosmic Expanse, are gradually falling into assimilation by the Return Ruins..."
"Of course, those only involve contending with the power of the worlds themselves, so there isn't that much to consider. But quite a few also involve fighting the envoys on the other side, so plenty of missions have come from there too."
"Oh, oh."
"No wonder."
"World reclamation, huh? Paradise has always been generous with points for major missions like that."
"Of course. Still, if you want to take part, don't even think about it unless you've advanced to the Fourth Tier or above. Those are all massive undertakings. One careless mistake and you're cannon fodder."
The languid young man did not look particularly tempted.
Naturally, the generous points for missions like these came with a reason. In Dharma Combat involving wars and confrontations on such a vast scale, dying quickly was only the beginning.
It was also very easy to die for good.
Once those powerhouses acted, they could easily erase every trace of a person. For someone seeking to return from the dead, Paradise could reconstruct their body
