Winter is coming-Su'e'ai

Mammon's bloated body, built from endless wealth, completely disintegrated and annihilated under the dual effects of Spacetime Erosion and [Endless Blood Drain].

The source of power, symbolizing greed and Greed, is like a flood bursting its banks, greedily devoured by Enma, and then transformed into the purest and most powerful energy, which is fed back to its master.

Luo Li stood still, closing her eyes to feel the power that was pouring into her, far exceeding any she had ever experienced before.

If the previous slaughter of those A-level and A+-level lords was like pouring water into a pond, then absorbing Mammon's essence is like pouring the entire ocean in.

The power of his [Spacetime] Path surged and expanded at an unprecedented speed, making his perception of time and space clearer and... closer than ever before.

It was as if with a single thought he could rewind time in an area by several seconds, or banish a small mountain directly to a subspace rift.

This leap in power level represents a difference in dimensionality.

"As expected of the Seven Deadly Sins..."

Luo Li slowly opened her eyes, the crimson depths of her pupils flashing violently due to the overwhelming energy surge, almost unable to suppress the burgeoning [Bloodlust Backlash].

He forcibly suppressed the mad urge churning in his mind to devour this Golden Demon Den before him, and his gaze swept over the endless wealth piled up like mountains and flowing like rivers.

Gold coins, gems, antiques, works of art... they are cold and glittering, yet they carry a nauseating aura of greed originating from Mammon.

Most of these were "life-buying money" that the Longxia Faction had been forced to pay to Mammon over the past thirty years of the Crimson Era.

These are resources earned through the frugality of countless ordinary people and the bloodshed of frontline soldiers.

"Vampires... what right do they have to take over things that belong to us humans?"

Luo Li muttered to herself, her voice icy.

He raised his hand, not to grip the knife, but to make a sweeping motion in the air.

A massive, stable spatial rift, like a monster with its jaws wide open, appeared within this Golden Demon Den.

Then, he did something that would leave anyone in the know speechless.

He manipulated the immense power of Spacetime, like the most precise conveyor belt, sorting and categorizing the massive wealth within the Demon Cave—those belonging to the Longxia system or bearing distinct Longxia cultural characteristics—and sending it like a golden torrent to the other side of the spatial rift.

On the other side of the crack, the interior of an official reserve base in Longxia could be vaguely seen.

He was not a plunderer, but... a returner.

After doing all this, Luo Li looked at the Demon Cave, which was now mostly empty except for some treasures with an exotic style or whose origins were unknown. The violent rage in his heart caused by the killing seemed to subside slightly.

This has nothing to do with kindness; it's more like a fanatical purge belonging to the human camp.

"Xiao Hong."

He called softly.

A red, chibi-style energy sphere emerged from the void beside him; it was none other than Memory Spirit Xiao Hong.

At this moment, Xiao Hong's body seemed to have solidified considerably, and within her red energy body, there was a faint golden luster, symbolizing "wealth" and "Greed."

She flew around Luo Li once, chirping excitedly:

"Master, Master! This feels amazing! So many sparkling Remembrance! And that... urge to grab all the good things and hold them all in my arms! Is this the power of Greed? It's so much fun!"

Clearly, while Luo Li was absorbing Mammon's essence, Xiao Hong, who was of one mind with him, also benefited greatly and even gained some rudimentary application of the "Greed" power.

"Don't just focus on playing."

Luo Li glanced at her, "Try it, see if you can fight with the power of ' Greed '."

"Okay!"

Xiao Hong responded excitedly, and the energy sphere twisted. The exotic gems and gold coins that Luo Li had "disliked" seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, and they all floated up, like soldiers under command, surrounding Xiao Hong.

"Watch my Wealth Impact!"

Xiao Hong Red shouted in her childish voice, and the floating treasures instantly transformed into streaks of multicolored light, bombarding a jewel-encrusted wall in the distance like cannonballs.

Boom!

A large crater was smashed into the wall, and shards of gems and gold coins flew everywhere.

Its power is surprisingly considerable! Enough to threaten vampires of around rank A.

"Wow! I've become amazing!" Xiao Hong proudly did a somersault in the air.

Luo Li nodded.

Xiao Hong's growth is a great help to him, at least in situations where he has to deal with minor enemies, it will save him a lot of effort.

He did not linger in the half-empty Golden Demon Den.

With a flash, he appeared in the sky above the Shennongjia primeval forest.

The biting wind blew against the tattered hem of his clothes, but it did not make him feel cold at all.

He turned his gaze northward.

There lies the vast and frigid Su'e'ai Faction.

Based on the fragments of Remembrance and information he absorbed, the one entrenched in Su'e'ai is "the Sin of Wrath," one of the Seven Deadly Sins — Samael.

A being who wields the power of "Burn to Ash," resembling a lava giant, whose rage is the pure embodiment of destruction.

"Wrath..."

Luo Li murmured the name, a cold and cruel smile curving her lips.

Perfect.

The restless power within him, almost overflowing from absorbing Mammon's essence, and the forcibly suppressed [Bloodlust Backlash], both needed a sufficiently powerful opponent to whom he could unleash his full power.

The frozen plains of Su'e'ai will be the perfect testing ground for him to test his new powers.

Samael's head will become the next item in his collection.

However, before setting off, Luo Li did something he had never thought he would do before.

He took out his almost forgotten personal terminal, turned it on, ignored countless unread messages and communication requests, and directly connected to the encrypted line of the Longxia Ability Management Bureau headquarters.

"I am Luo Li."

His voice came through the terminal, cold and devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

There was a brief silence on the other end of the line, followed by a voice, clearly shocked and incredulous yet trying to remain calm. "Mr... Mr Luo Li? What... what are your instructions?"

"All vampires remaining within Longxia have been eliminated."

Luo Li stated it calmly, as if she were talking about a trivial matter.

"Including ' The Sin of Greed ' Mammon."

"The original coordinates of the Golden Demon Den in Shennongjia, and the remaining unclaimed wealth, are yours to handle as you see fit."

"In addition, I have returned some of the resources that Mammon previously plundered to Reserve Base No. 3."

The sound of something being knocked over came from the other end of the terminal, along with a suppressed gasp.

Completely eradicate the vampires of Longxia? Slay Mammon, one of the Seven Deadly Sins? Return the resources?

Each message was like a bombshell, leaving the top executives of Longxia on the other end of the communication line dizzy and disoriented.

"You... you're telling the truth?!"

Believe it or not.

Luo Li was too lazy to explain.

"I am about to travel to Su'e'ai. Tell them not to interfere with me."

After saying that, he immediately cut off the communication, giving the other party no chance to ask any further questions or express their gratitude.

He did this not out of honor or gratitude, but simply to avoid unnecessary trouble.

He didn't want to be mistaken for an invader by those fighting nations while clearing out the Su'e'ai vampires, and have them smear him with their simple and brutal heavy firepower.

Although it won't hurt him, it will waste time.

Having done all this, Luo Li did not linger.

When [Space-Trace Instant Shadow] was activated to its fullest extent, his figure transformed into a streak of light that was difficult to detect with the naked eye, tearing through the sky and speeding towards the snow-covered world to the north.

Crossing the border is like stepping over a threshold for him now.

When he stepped into the vast land of Su'e'ai, covered by permafrost and snow, a completely different, more rugged and intense atmosphere, unlike that of Longxia, rushed towards him.

The biting wind was like a knife, carrying ice shards that could easily cut through ordinary people's skin.

As far as the eye can see, there are boundless snowfields, majestic icebergs, and scattered ruins of abandoned industrial cities that resemble steel behemoths.

The vampires here also exhibit distinct polar characteristics.

They are more resistant to cold and more ferocious, many of them covered in thick armor of ice or frozen with frost that never melts.

"The area is indeed large... and there are a lot of miscellaneous fish too."

Luo Li hovered in mid-air, his [Eyes of the Time Abyss] sweeping across an abandoned mine below shrouded in deathly aura, where at least several hundred vampires of various levels roamed.

A flash of crimson light appeared in his eyes.

"Perfect... they're all experience packs."

He swooped down like a hawk hunting its prey.

Enma was drawn, and dark red light left glaring marks on the pure white snow.

The carnage has begun again.

On the vast ice plains of Su'e'ai, Luo Li repeated what he had done in Longxia, only with greater efficiency and more brutal methods.

He was no longer satisfied with simply cleaning up each nest one by one.

Sometimes, he would directly unleash a [Spacetime Domain] covering an area of several kilometers, instantly freezing all vampires within the domain, regardless of their level, and then simultaneously annihilating and draining them!

A vast amount of life essence and soul energy flowed into his and Enma's bodies like rivers converging into the sea.

The effect of [Endless Blood Drain] was maximized, and his power increased wildly at a visible rate.

Xiao Hong was also having a great time. She controlled the exotic treasures brought from Mammon's vault that Luo Li "disliked," and like a death storm on an ice field, she smashed swarms of low-level vampires into ice shards.

The superhumans and military of Su'e'ai quickly took notice of this "natural disaster" that was running rampant on their territory.

They received a vague but high-level warning from Longxia. Although they were skeptical, they remained restrained and simply kept a distance from the figure that resembled the Death God and the desolate vampire graveyards he left behind.

They watched as Luo Li, like a bulldozer, uprooted the intractable vampire strongholds within Su'e'ai at an unbelievable speed, moving from south to north and from west to east.

Shock, horror, and a hint of... awe hidden beneath the tough exterior spread through the upper echelons of the Su'e'ai, and Egypt.

What kind of monster is this Longxia person?!

Luo Li was indifferent to all of this.

All he knew was that although the Su'e'ai Union was large and there were many small fry, cleaning it up would just take a little more time.

He was like a tireless harvester, galloping across the icy plains, leaving no trace of vampires in his wake.

His gaze remained fixed on the far north, the region known as the "Scorching Purgatory".

That is the lair of Samael, the "Sin of Wrath".

He could sense a slumbering, fiery aura, like a volcano about to erupt, slumbering there, awaiting his arrival.
