Chapter 246 My Faith Killed My Most Loyal Leader?
[When the All-Spirit Forging Cannon, imbued with the immense power of faith accumulated over millennia in the world of Avia, transformed into a terrifying torrent capable of destroying the world and descended precisely upon your location, the Pope of Avia wore a victor's smile.]

He knows!

He won!

I must admit, you are indeed exceptionally talented.

[While maintaining the Red Heart Society's iron behemoth as it surged forward, it also managed to hone its own power to an invincible level below demigod.]

He had never heard of any organization's founder, a master of politics and intrigue, who could elevate his personal combat abilities to this level.

[Especially those extreme domains that can rewrite the local rules of the battlefield simply by enveloping it, they are incredibly coveted!]

But so what?

The pinnacle below demigod is ultimately just below demigod!

[Before that Cannon of All Spirits, fueled by the blood, flesh, and souls of billions of living beings, and bombed with the terrifying energy accumulated over millennia of faith in the world of Avia, even the phantom of a demon god could not withstand it. You are not even a demigod, so how can you talk about stopping it?]

What makes them exempt?

Even the strongest ant is still just a reptile!

[If you can withstand the attack of the All-Spirit Forging Cannon, then he can swallow the entire accumulated rotten excrement and urine of the world of Avia in one gulp!]

Although your death in the world of Avia will undoubtedly provoke the wrath of the Red Heart Society.

Whether to uphold the legitimacy of the founders' legacy or to cater to the emotional needs of the Red Heart Society, revenge will be the core political slogan of the next successor.

The world of Avia will inevitably suffer even more devastating ravages from the flames of war waged by the Red Heart Society!

But so what?

Could the world of Avia be any worse than it is now?

[Gnawing from the Abyss!]

[Hellish Corruption!]

Traitors abound!

[The sacred mountain has collapsed!]

The countdown to Avia's destruction has begun!

[Only by eliminating you, the great founder who wields immense influence within the Red Heart Society and even directly interferes with its progress, and by creating a time vacuum through your downfall, can a new situation be opened up for Avia.]

[A Red Heart Society that has lost the iron-fisted suppression of its founders, no matter how united it may be, will inevitably descend into factional infighting and power struggles.]

To secure their position, the new successor will inevitably prioritize internal purges and consolidation of power, temporarily setting aside external pressures.

Even with constant chanting of slogans, internal conflicts always outweigh external ones.

[Taking advantage of this window of opportunity during the transition between the old and the new, the chaos and weakness of the Red Heart Society is the only way for the world of Avia to seize the Red Heart Society's resources to fight against the invasion of the Abyss and Hell.]

Even if the wrath of the Red Heart rekindles after the war and completely consumes Avia, it will still be a future threat!

If the world of Avia doesn't have a present, what's the point of discussing the future?

Now, all he needs is a moment to catch his breath!

Most importantly, as long as the authority over the All-Spirit Cannon remains in their hands, the sky over Avia will not fall!

[When the All-Spirit Forging Cannon's attack landed perfectly at its designated location, and the terrifying energy surge unleashed unprecedented aurora colors across the world of Avia, the Pope of Avia's face flushed red.]

His withered fingers gripped the energy prism of the control core tightly, feeling the rhythmic energy feedback transmitted back from the All-Spirit Forging Cannon.

[He seemed to already see your body silently vaporizing in the light of creation, and in contrast, the perfect picture of the Red Heart Alliance, the highest fighting force of the Red Heart Society, and the core of the Red Heart Society's will collapsing!]

For the Red Hearts Society, it was an unparalleled catastrophe; but for Avia, it would be the fireworks that ignite the final revelry of decaying life!

【However--!】

When the energy surge caused by the All-Spirit Forging Cannon subsided, and you appeared unharmed within the observation range of the Pope of Avia, the expression on the face of this usually calm de facto ruler of Avia completely shattered.

【How can it be? 】

You're still alive?!

[Even the phantom of a demon god couldn't withstand the Myriad Spirits Forging Cannon, yet you managed to block it?]

[Not only are you not dead, but there's not even a scratch on you?]

When did the Red Heart Society acquire such unimaginable defensive capabilities?

The key question is, if Chixin possesses such power, why does he act as if he's being threatened and intimidated by the Myriad Spirits Cannon?

Is this some kind of manipulation?

Although that's what she thought, Pope Avia knew very well what was going on.

From the moment the Cannon of All Spirits failed to blast you to death, your fate was sealed.

However, he did not give up the struggle, but instead urgently contacted the projected will of the abyss, hoping to obtain support from the abyss.

But the abyss's cold-blooded nature was on full display at this moment.

[Since Pope Avia has lost her value to the Abyss, she is naturally useless!]

The abyss will not even bother with useless people, not even if they are demigods.

[It seems the Abyss's projected will knows the Red Heart Society's current situation and wants to cause trouble for them, or perhaps for other deeper reasons. The Abyss's projected will sent a batch of negative energy clusters, capable of replacing the power of faith, through the Spirit Demon Supreme.] [Pope Avia noticed the corrosive properties contained within the negative energy clusters and understood that if these dark energy clusters were stuffed into the Myriad Spirits Forging Cannon, it might cause unprecedented damage.]

But now, he can't care about all that anymore!

[Boom boom boom————]

[In the final act of defiance by Pope Avia, the energy projectiles fired by the Cannon of All Spirits transformed from the dazzling, world-illuminating power of faith into abyssal energy capable of corrupting everything.]

Although it contains extremely terrifying destructive power, the abyssal fluctuations emanating from it are rapidly corrupting the entire world of Avia.

【world!】

[It is rapidly sinking into the abyss!]

[As you activated your faith barrier to block the frenzied bombardment of the Cannon of All Spirits, you sensed that this abyssal power was attempting to invade the depths of your soul through the Cannon's attack.]

Fortunately, the power of faith has a natural resistance to the corrosive power of the abyss, which is why your soul was spared.

However, under conditions of large-scale, high-intensity, and even exceeding all previous estimates, the frantic mobilization of faith power to maintain itself causes the emotions of all spirits existing within that faith to rage wildly through your mind, like a runaway horse.

Even with the protection of your ultimate domain, you're still on the verge of collapse under the onslaught of this overwhelming tide of emotions from all living beings.

Based on its understanding of the world of Avia, the All-Spirit Forging Cannon can only fire once at most.

Even assuming the worst-case scenario, based on the standard of being bombarded three times by the All-Spirit Forging Cannon, the impact of the power of faith on your soul would not exceed the limit your soul can withstand.

But who could have imagined that the projected will of the abyss would suddenly disrupt things?

[In that instant, many thoughts flashed through your mind.]

Could it be that the will of the abyss has sensed the Star Demon's intentions and is preparing to disrupt things?

Or is it that the will of the abyss is meant to strike at Hell?

Or perhaps there are other considerations?

Regardless of the specific type, it represents the abyss's absolute malice towards you.

Soon, a message arrived from the Will of Hell.

Your situation, where your soul is being eroded by the power of faith, is extremely dangerous.

The best way is to bring your pure heart to the world and merge into hell.

The will of Hell promises you that if you fully integrate into Hell, it will solve this problem for you.

[You can tell at a glance that the Will of Hell's empty promises are fake.]

[The will of hell may have the ability to resolve the erosion of faith, but this promise is absolutely a lie.]

After all, you have a considerable understanding of the will of hell.

If He were truly prepared to do this, He would first offer you a reward, such as curbing the erosion of faith, before resorting to coercion and enticement.

Since the Will of Hell is acting so hastily, it means it has no intention of helping you at all.

[It's just a hoax!]

[This has always been Hell's forte!]

[According to Chixin Wudai's estimation, the power of faith will erode your soul at an increasingly rapid pace.]

Once your soul is completely overwhelmed by the fervor of all-consuming emotions, you will become a complete puppet of faith.

[This timeframe, after careful calculation, is approximately five years.]

After careful consideration, you directly had someone spread the news.

Don't hide it!

This matter concerns everyone in the Red Heart Society.

In that case, everyone should know about this.

When the Red Heart Society headquarters released a bombshell announcement that shocked the entire Red Heart world, all Red Heart Society members were plunged into utter confusion and shock.

The great founder of the Red Heart Society is actually on the verge of death?

Most importantly, was the founder's life hanging by a thread because he was tormented by the power of the faith they offered?

In other words, in the future, they might actually kill the very founders they admire and respect most, who changed their entire family's lives and brought them unparalleled glory?

How can this be possible?

Almost instantly, the world of Red Heart was filled with wails of despair.

The strongest reactions came from the Red Heart Army and the members of the Combined Corps at the front lines.

For these soldiers who have always followed you and valued you more than their own lives, the faith they offered has killed their most loyal leader!

This is absolutely unacceptable!

Not long after, the headquarters of the Red Heart Society released a report on rewriting the negative emotions within its own faith power.

The report states that you are being corrupted by the power of faith because this power contains negative emotions. When these negative emotions accumulate, they affect your soul.

Therefore, if members of the Red Heart Society can minimize negative emotions they experience in their lives, it may extend the lifespan of you, the founder, for a period of time.
