Chapter 266 Suspicion of the Aglios Faction: Who is the Traitor?

That pillar of judgment, descending vertically from the heavens, surpassed all other lights in brightness; the divine annihilation power it contained even caused the surrounding spacetime to tremble with a sense of impending shattering!

[The moment this light struck, there was no explosive roar, only an absolute silence that froze the soul, a silence that returned all things to their essential nothingness!]

The vast battlefield, which had been raging fiercely, fell silent at this moment.

All eyes, friend or foe, were fixed on the area where the massive pillar of light had fallen.

When the pillar of light dissipated, everything on the spot turned into nothingness.

[Whether it was the abyss land, the surrounding mineral resources and defense mechanisms, or the various divine weapons worn by the members of the strategic command center, all vanished completely under the terrifying radiance.]

[Strategic Command Center!]

This is absolutely the most crucial point on the battlefield where both sides are exchanging blows.

Therefore, while concealing themselves and minimizing their presence, thousands of layers of composite energy shields silently enveloped the command center.

Even the most formidable defenses will crumble under the angelic legion's all-consuming onslaught.

Meanwhile, the tactical star map sandbox at the center, which was performing real-time calculations, along with tens of thousands of core staff officers and even all military command forces including the communication hub, vanished from the world in an instant.

Deng Qi, the military leader of the Red Heart Society, also vanished along with this blow.

[This man, on whom you placed such high hopes, whom you regarded as the third leader of the Red Heart Society, has fallen.]

[His fall was so sudden!]

【in this way!】

[There's absolutely no heroic sacrifice involved!]

At this moment, however, no one has time to think about these things.

The sudden disappearance of the strategic command center caused some unrest within the Red Heart Society's large army.

However, the contingency plan for the strategic command center being taken down had already been rehearsed countless times by the Red Heart Society.

[Furthermore, the Red Heart Society headquarters had been closely monitoring the situation on the battlefield. When news of Deng Qi's unexpected death arrived, Lin Xue immediately took command of the battlefield.]

Although Lin Xue excels at domestic affairs and maintaining stability, she is not entirely ignorant about military warfare.

[While you were still alive, you would frequently send Lin Xue out to command the army in battle.]

As a leader, one may lack knowledge in other areas, but one must be knowledgeable about the military!

[The power of the gun is the key to ensuring one's position remains unshaken!]

Deng Qi's death deeply saddened Lin Xue, the former principal, Elder Jian, and other high-ranking members of the Red Heart Society.

[To be honest, this is the first time a core member of the Red Heart Society has died since the society's inception and during the ongoing war.]

Everyone knew in their hearts that Deng Qi's death was only the beginning.

The Red Heart Society has a thorough understanding of the Abyss and also possesses a comprehensive knowledge of Hell.

Even though the abyssal demons are numerous and employ all sorts of insidious soul-devouring tactics, the Red Heart Society still maintains a strong defense against them.

Even if the devils of hell can corrupt hearts, using ambition and various desires as bait to lure the upper echelons of the Red Heart Society, the Red Heart Society's internal spies can also handle these matters.

However, regarding this sudden appearance of angels and the spirit army, Chi Xin only had a superficial understanding.

[The opponent was like an unknown hunter suddenly entering a dark forest; their various attack methods always caught the Red Heart Society off guard.]

The angels' infinite resurrection tactic has reduced the cost of war to an outrageous level.

War is about exploiting information asymmetry!

[The Red Heart Society's understanding of these spirit legions and angel legions is far too shallow and superficial!]

This abyss of information is destined to be filled with the corpses of the Red Heart Society's elites!

However, the Red Heart Society was also mentally prepared.

Because the angelic legions are immortal, each angel warrior fights with no regard for their own life.

This ruthless and unrestrained method of killing caused heavy casualties to the Chixin Society.

[The Soul Research Center, where Ke Weiliu is located, has begun preparing countermeasures.]

[Even the Soul Research Center has produced its initial prototype.] [Countless ring-shaped military devices, flowing with dark purple runes, precisely enveloped every energy node of the angel's simulated body.]

A neural inhibitory probe, emitting obscure fluctuations, pierced directly into the foundation of the light wings.

[Angels can self-destruct if they don't want to live.]

After all, the core of the angels' souls doesn't reside in the lower realms.

[Because of this factor, the Red Heart Society Research Institute also suffered significant losses.]

The appearance of ring-shaped military weapons can suppress the angels' self-destruction ability to the greatest extent, causing them to completely lose contact with their core power.

[Isn't it supposed to be reborn?]

[Can't you go back to heaven and come back to life?]

[Then let's use extraordinary technology to prevent these hostile angels from ever dying!]

Similarly, if one cannot die, then one cannot be resurrected, right?

In this living hell, he wanted to see if the angels, knowing all this, would still be able to charge into battle with such indifference!

[Completely banned!]

[They can even be preserved by soaking them in a specially formulated liquid, allowing these angels to fully realize their potential within the Red Heart Research Institute.]

[In the same month, Agrelius returned to the Redheart Society with his powerful Lava Demon Legion, a triumphant return.]

Amidst the turbulent public opinion following Deng Qi's death, the calls for Agris's intervention grew louder.

[Aglius also instructed his Shadow Guards to prepare in advance, so that if any of these Agris faction members dared to make any plans or arrangements detrimental to the Red Heart Society headquarters, the Shadow Guards would arrest them immediately.]

Gradually, the Aglios faction discovered that every one of their plans was met with one unexpected event or another.

Lin Xue's cunning always manages to appear at the scene of their plans without anyone noticing.

Due to the repeated failures of the plan, the Aglios faction launched an extremely rigorous internal investigation.

Of course, no one will investigate Agris, the faction leader and figurehead.

Although their ideas may differ and they may each have their own ulterior motives, they are all united in their desire for Agris to ascend to power.

This is definitely good news for Agris!

Therefore, anyone in the faction could potentially betray them, but Agris is the only one unlikely to leak information!

No one would believe that the great Aglios had betrayed them!

Even members of Aglios's faction might suspect that this person was a spy sent by the Shadow Guard.

[No one would say something like that unless they've had a stroke lasting a century!]

How could the person in the highest position rebel?

This is like someone trying to overthrow an imperial society, but the ministers rebel, and the emperor rebels?

[The emperor wants to execute his entire family?]

Is this possible?

This is absolutely impossible!

However, what none of the members of the Aglios faction could have imagined was that the faction had no Shadow Guard spies or informants, because they simply didn't need them!

All confidential messages, all core data, and all intelligence meticulously guarded by members of the Aglios faction, evading the supervision of the Fifth Generation of the Red Heart at great cost, had already been delivered to the Shadow Guard's office.

After all, this faction is centered around Agris.

If Agris were not present, the spiritual symbol of this faction would instantly collapse.

[In the future, another faction may emerge, or another organization may replace the Aglios faction.]

But ultimately, it won't happen now!

This is also the main reason why Lin Xue didn't directly eliminate the Aglios faction. On the one hand, she wanted to play the long game and catch bigger fish; on the other hand, she wanted to keep it under absolute control.

After all, who would have thought that the boss would be a traitor?
