From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

The "boatman" wears simple clothes, has long hair and a beard, and has white eyes without pupils.

As if unconscious, he controlled the oars, allowing the ferry to slowly approach Galan and others.

Roar--!

Ouch——!

Just at this moment, the roar and growl of wild beasts came from behind Galan and others.

Hear the sound and go.

They saw three huge female wolves, a male lion and a leopard walking out of the dark forest, staring at them with their eyes that emitted a strange green light.

Even if Serin didn't explain, the Dark Angels, including Galan and Aldaimo (the company champion), knew that the three beasts in front of them were -

The she-wolf symbolizes greed,

The lion symbolizes ambition, and the leopard symbolizes pleasure.

The smallest female wolf was 15 meters long and about 8 meters tall.

The most important thing is that while they are constantly approaching Galan and others, they are also emitting the "breath" that they each symbolize, trying to erode and corrupt Galan and others.

But the answer to them was——

Clang! Clang!

Ri~——whoosh! !

The roar of high-explosive bolt shells and plasma.

boom--! boom!

"Ow!!!"

The female wolf, male lion and leopard, which were under concentrated fire, howled in anger.

Followed by.

The largest lion, bearing the attack of high-explosive arrows and plasma, stretched out its four claws and took the lead in charging towards Galan and others standing on the shore.

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

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

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

Either increase the power of your plasma guns, or..."

"Or kill them yourself!"

Before Serin finished her reminder, Galan took the initiative to add to it.

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

Buzz~——Pah——!

The power claw on the right arm armor extended into a long and extremely sharp mithril claw blade that was jumping with dark blue lightning as Galan swung his hand.

Boom——Boom——!!

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

"Protect Ms. Serin."

"Brothers, take care 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 formed a formation, using giant shields to protect Serin behind them. At the same time, the guards, holding 60mm caliber plasma rifles in one hand, aimed at the smallest female wolf.

Ri~——!

Energy-generating light and subtle electronic sounds spread among the guards' formation.

Whoosh~——whoosh——!

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

boom! Boom——! !

The female wolf that was hit by the plasma cannon ball didn't even have time to scream or wail before she was instantly burned to ashes by the extremely high temperature plasma flames.

As for the lion and leopard that represent ambition and pleasure?

As the champion of the company, Aldemo encountered his "favored" target, a leopard over 18 meters long, before Galan who charged ahead.

Aldaimo did not laugh heartily or roar in anger like the Astartes of other Legions, especially the Space Wolves.

"Meeting me is your greatest misfortune, beast."

The company champion simply said "fact" in a metallic tone and quite calmly, then suddenly 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 above the leopard, and swung the power sword wrapped in the plasma force field, stabbing the leopard's neck with all his strength -

Pfft——! !

The high energy field and sharp blade successfully pierced the monster's skin.

"Ouch~!!"

The severe pain also caused the leopard to let out a deafening roar.

But Aldemo had no intention of stopping.

He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, and relying on his own over a ton of weight and powerful strength, he forcibly enlarged the gap in the leopard's neck.

Then, Aldemo freed his left hand and took out a metal hydrogen grenade specially used by Astartes.

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

Then, Aldemo exerted force on his waist and let the soles of his feet "step" on the side of the leopard's neck. He continued to jump with his knees bent, which made him "bounce" the leopard away while pulling out his exclusive power sword.

When Aldemo was in mid-air, he did a backflip very flexibly and landed successfully—

Ri~Boom——!!!

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

The leopard that represented enjoyment was also "vaporized" and "evaporated" by the individual tactical weapon without even having time to utter a scream.

Aldemo, as if he was doing an ordinary "little thing", turned his back to the fleeting miniature sun, and used the blade of the power sword to gently cut a horizontal "乛" character on the left shoulder armor that was covered with "正" characters.

The many "positive" characters on the shoulder armor represent that Aldaimo personally destroyed at least a hundred individuals whose strength was no less than that of the "vaporized" and "evaporated" Hedonistic Leopards.

At the same time, Galan, who rushed out first,

Buzz~——hiss——chila——!

The most ambitious lion, which was the largest in size, was cut and dismembered into several pieces by the "tiny" Galan, who used his power claws with a jumping lightning force field.

The strongest individual in the Dark Angels' 1st Company is undoubtedly Captain Galan Clovis.

But the position of company commander was appointed by Leon, and Galan had stronger management and operational abilities than other veterans of the 1st Company.

That's why Galan Clovis had to give up his "favorite" activity of fighting and killing and take up the position of company commander.

Galan has to deal with the reasonable allocation and task arrangement of more than 200,000 people every day, and he has been full of anger for a long time.

Now that he finally has a "bigger" lion, he can return to being a pure warrior who doesn't have to worry about anything, so naturally he uses all his abilities.

But where had the ambitious lion ever seen the "hot-tempered" Astartes veteran?

In the past, the believers, knights and nuns who had successfully crossed the Dark Forest would not even confront them head-on. Just hearing their growls would make them eager to climb onto the "ferry" and escape.

But these guys dressed like knights of the Knights Templar were fearless and unafraid of death, nor were they afraid of the various whispers and threats.

It really exceeded their expectations.

In addition, there were too many people passing through the gate of hell this time. If Galan, Aldemo, Serin and other "people" boarded the ferry unharmed, then the three of them would definitely be blamed and punished by the Lord of Hell.

After all, they are just "workers" who need to complete fixed performance and targets.

That is why they took the initiative to walk out of the Dark Forest, revealing their true identities to Galan and others, and were prepared to rely on their "incredibly powerful" strength to eliminate half of the Dark Angels, as a way of giving an explanation to their superiors.

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

The greedy mother wolf was burned to death by the high-powered plasma cannon after "accumulating energy", the hedonistic leopard was "evaporated", and the ambitious lion was cut into several pieces and died without a complete body.

"Captain Clovis, it's already dead. There's no need to attack it. This might destroy its original organizational structure."

At this time, Serin spoke up to stop Galan who was still cutting and dismembering the body.

She left the line of the company guards, took out the tools she carried with her, and used the remaining fragments of the Ambitious Lion to begin extracting blood and tissue samples.

Extraction completed.

Serin also took out a crystal peony-shaped pure flower from the metal storage box on her side and planted it on the barren gray soil.

Then, the pure flowers began to spread until they purified the entire dark forest.

Moreover, the root of the pure flower comes from Sui Yang, so ordinary creatures of hell, such as the three beasts representing greed, ambition, and pleasure, are completely helpless against it and can only watch the pure flower "spread".

What's more, the three beasts had already been executed by Galan and others.

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

"."

As for Galan, who had retracted his power claws and remained silent, he was patiently waiting for Serin to perform a series of operations.

Seeing that Serin had completed the sample collection and planted the "flowers", he walked towards the ferry moored on the shore and reminded her on the communication channel:

"Everyone, please pay attention. This 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 and even kill Charon.”

In the mythology of the main universe, Charon is a boatman who is responsible for ferrying the dead across the River Styx. The dead need to pay "a gold coin" before they can successfully board the boat and cross the river.

If a living person wants to board the ship, he must offer Charon the golden branch from Persephone's (Queen of the Underworld) garden before he can board the ship and cross the river.

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

In the Divine Comedy: Inferno, the boatman is none other than Charon.

Therefore, Galan couldn't figure out where to get the gold coins and gold branches for the time being, so he had to ask his brothers to be on high alert and force their way onto the ship.

Celine and the Dark Angels gathered around the "wooden boat" which looked small but was big enough to accommodate them all.

"."

She wanted to suggest some safer ways to cross the river.

But as Galan said, they did not have the so-called gold coins and golden branches, so they chose to remain silent and let the dark angels play on their own.

A company guard who was standing at the forefront and whose calves were already submerged in the river, simply observed for a moment and prepared to force his way onto the ship as ordered by Galan.

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

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

But where does the guard get the “money” to pay?

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

Seeing the guards forcibly boarding the ship, Charon immediately showed an angry expression and shouted in an echoing tone:

"You are responsible for your recklessness, you fool."

Bang-!

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

Just look at the guard who boarded the ship first. When Charon shouted at him, he swung his right fist with a force far exceeding a ton's worth at Charon's "wide open" abdomen.

"cough--!"

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

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

"Dude, I don't care which mythology system you belong to, but we are here to kill all the lords and demons of hell, so we must cross the river to the first layer of hell."

"Money or."

"We have no money." The guard interrupted Charon again and threatened with the unique metallic voice of an Astartes wearing a helmet:

"Take us across the river, quickly."

As he spoke, the guard increased the strength of the five fingers of his left hand.

Charon: “.”

Seren: “.”

After an unknown amount of time, on the other side of the Agron River (River of Sorrow);

Galan and the others jumped off the ferry, stepped into the river water that was halfway up their calves, crossed the shallows and successfully reached the shore.

Wow! Wow! Wow!

Charon, holding the oars tightly with both hands, saw Galan and others coming ashore one after another, and immediately controlled the ferry to return to its normal size. He moved away from the river bank at a very fast speed and disappeared into the thick fog.

"."

Standing by the river bank, Serin was speechless.

She knew Leon, and she knew that the Dark Angels were a group of "rough men who looked civilized."

But threatening the Hell Boatman was beyond her expectations.

Celine originally wanted to emulate Virgil in "The Divine Comedy: Inferno" and use the eloquence of artificial intelligence to reach an agreement with the stubborn Charon to carry them across the Agron River.

However, the Dark Angels followed the example of the Greek demigod Hercules, using beatings and threats to achieve "cooperation" with Charon.

In response, Serin simply shrugged her shoulders, then turned around and followed Galan and the others into the first layer of hell.

Thin spirit.

Here you can find blue skies, white clouds and grasslands that are no different from the real world, as well as medieval-style villages, towns and castles.

At the same time, countless "people" live here, wandering aimlessly, staring blankly, or engaging in endless fighting.

Galan, Serin and others standing on the edge could also find that the ground here was sinking layer by layer.

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