Chapter 302 Little Aglios, I've Been Watching You

The whispers of the abyss echoed along the shores of the eternally flowing lava lake, the scorching air distorting the space around them.

Agrelius, his massive, mountain-like lava form, stood silently on the shore, his gaze serene, fixed on the slowly coalescing phantom before him.

The phantom is constructed from pure lava authority, displaying the identity information of the one who manifests it.

[The Sage of the Lava Demon Clan!]

[The spiritual totem of the Lava Demon race!]

A mysterious and unfathomable abyss demon has descended upon this place.

Time seemed to rewind and then freeze at the moment their eyes met.

For Agrus, if that familiar, dignified yet gentle figure had appeared at this moment in the previous timeline, He would have felt an overwhelming surge of excitement and emotion.

He would kneel on one knee, his enormous fist clenched against the hellish rock on his chest, recounting his experiences since the separation, and might even let out a suppressed sob, like rocks crumbling, when questioned by the will of the demon god.

Agris felt no affection for the lava demon race.

But for this wise man who led Him to power, enlightened Him with wisdom, and gave Him the name Agrippa, the bond forged by time and grace was an unshakable anchor in His long life.

But now, Agris felt no emotion whatsoever.

[Dead silence, as deep as an abyss, as hard as ancient ice.]

Memories from the previous timeline are His greatest treasure.

All those experiences left an indelible mark, a crucible for forging the soul.

[The final war that swept across all realms, the cold-blooded scheming of the gods of the spirit world, the false judgment of the holy light of heaven, the cunning game of the demon gods of the abyss, and the betrayal and devouring by the true gods of hell]

Former comrades vanished into thin air under the radiance of divine magic, their cherished ideals ruthlessly crushed into dust at the bottom of the abyss.

He roared, struggled, and desperately charged towards that destructive sea of ​​light, but ultimately, His battle rules, along with His divine body, turned into dust and fragments in the void of the Ruins.

Each and every one of these events has forged His soul and will into unparalleled resilience.

The passion and enthusiasm of the past, the reliance on wise men, were all utterly shattered on the chessboard of the gods' games.

What remains are only the purest, hardest, and coldest convictions: absolute loyalty to the highest ideals of the Red Heart Society and the unparalleled pursuit of power.

[Apart from this, everything else is just gaps and foam.]

Therefore, although the wise man himself was present, He did not display any signs of excitement.

The wise man looked at Aglios before him and nodded slightly.

【good!】

Your aura is as refined as the core of an abyss, your emotions remaining hidden.

Your will, silent as a stubborn rock of an era, has shed the restlessness of molten metal and the clamor of ignorance.

I am very satisfied with you as you are now!

You didn't let me down!

[Little Aglios.]

Only the wise have ever called Him this title.

[But at this moment, it was like a spark falling into a cold ocean, instantly extinguished, without even stirring a ripple in the depths of Agris's heart.]

His molten lava body remained motionless, like a sculpture that had stood there since time immemorial.

Let's keep moving forward!

The path to the abyss can only be reached by moving forward.

I will watch your every step.

After saying this, the wise man changed the subject and asked Aglios if there was anything he wanted to do.

After a moment of contemplation, Agrelius indicated that he needed reinforcements from the lava demon race, preferably young demons from the same era as himself, or those who had recently been born.

The old devils have long since formed their own fixed values, making them difficult to accept the baptism of pure ideals.

Only young demons—that's what Agris truly desires!

Their blood runs wild, but their minds have not yet been completely warped by the abyss; they are like blank sheets of paper on which one can write freely.

Or rather, like unformed, molten lava, simply by being poured into the mold of the Red Heart Society—a mold called ideal—it can forge loyal blades and unyielding rocks.

Only descendants of such a group possess the malleable foundation to accept sincere ideals.

Most importantly, in His mind, He also possessed a vast amount of information about the various new techniques and secret arts of the Lava Demon race hundreds of years in the future.

These are treasures from beyond the horizon of time, yet to be recognized by the abyss of this point in time.

[If He could personally teach and instill these skills in these blank slates of young lava demons, it would absolutely be possible to create a lava elite force with a starting point far exceeding that of any previous generation and possessing astonishing potential in a very short time!]

His demands weren't high; if this army could eventually have several hundred demigods, he would be content.

Of course, He intends to teach these elites by word and deed, and even before He becomes a true god of rules, He does not intend to tell them that these are theories derived from sincere ideals.

【A heart full of sincerity!】

[From the moment He decided to sever ties with the Red Heart Society, He would no longer appear in His own mouth.]

After saying this, both sides fell into an eerie silence once again.

After observing Aglios carefully for a while, the wise man turned and left.

The next moment, a lava token bearing the name of a sage appeared before Agrelius.

The arrival of the wise man prompted Agris to begin pondering some matters.

After all, He was no longer just a simple lava demon, but a seasoned veteran who had experienced the war of gods.

So He began to ponder: since He had been adopted and raised by the Wise One from a young age, why would the Wise One allow Him to leave the protection of the Lava Demon Clan and venture out to other places on His own?

[As a demon god of the abyss, did the wise man already foresee the course of time?] [Did he predict that the Crimson Heart Society would take root and sprout somewhere?]

Did they foresee that I would become a core pillar at some point?

Did He exile me to a region far from the heart of the community so that I would have the opportunity to come into contact with the Red Heart Society?

Was everything predetermined?

Is it an indispensable piece in His grand scheme?

Or perhaps the wise man had other plans for letting her leave?

Even if it's a one in a billion chance, as long as it exists, is it still worth taking a chance?

For the countless demons of the endless abyss, even a one in a billion chance of becoming a god would be enough to make them risk their lives without hesitation.

Of course, a one in a billion probability is still a bit too high.

[A vast number of demons are constantly being born in the abyss. If it were truly one in a billion, there would be countless abyssal demons existing in the abyss by now.]

But is the wise man's consideration really that simple?

[Agrius harbored doubts about this. You, the founder of the Red Heart Society, once said that after becoming a Demon God, everything should be based on the will of the gods.]

Furthermore, having witnessed the signs of the Abyss God's intervention, the Wise Man's true intentions in sending Him away were questionable.

[At least, it's definitely not just the superficial factors I've come up with.]

The more Agris thought about it, the more wary he became.

This matter raises numerous questions from any perspective.

After a brief moment of thought, Agrus shook his head, dismissing the useless idea from his mind.

Before you have the strength, all your thinking will be in vain.

If one's strength is enough to crush everything, then any conspiracy will ultimately be reduced to ruins before them!

In May of the 140th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, Agrelius returned to the battlefield of Hell, beginning to gather his forces and, as a Supreme Lord, wage war across Hell.

[In the same month, the Red Heart Society also completed the necessary connections to the world of Avia.]

Compared to the world of Sophia, the world of Avia lives under the oppressive environment of religious rule, and the number of powerful demigods is also much greater.

Most importantly, there's the existence of the All-Spirit Cannon!

Therefore, the actions of the Red Heart Society can be described as extremely cautious and prudent.

What the Red Heart Society didn't expect was that just as the Allied Forces' warriors set foot on the world of Avia, and after achieving some ideological gains and seizing their own base, the world of Avia reacted swiftly.

Under the leadership of the wise monument Resby, a large religious army began its mighty advance towards the Red Heart Society's base.

[When you make a move, you go all out!]

This sudden change made you frown.

First, there was the elven royal family of the Sofia world, and then the monument of wisdom of the Avia world.

[Is this game over?]

[But as soon as you arrived at the mediation director's office where the Inner Demon God was located, before you could even speak, the Inner Demon God began to respond.]

As the demon god who controls minds, He is all too aware of the things around Him.

This matter has nothing to do with me.

The Demon God looked at you and slowly spoke.

[Behind this, there is indeed another force at play, wanting to use the world of Avia to observe the situation of your Red Heart Society.]

Although both the Star Demon God and I are here, from a rational perspective, any Demon God will conduct their own tests before investing.

After saying that, the inner demon gave you a reminder.

This person's fighting style is different from His.

He was merely fiddling with the objects to test the Red Heart Society's adaptability.

But this person, once he makes a move, desires only endless slaughter and bloodshed.

Most importantly, the other party's personality is completely different from His and the Star Demon God's.

For example, if someone from the Red Heart Society doesn't pass their test, they won't waste even a moment's attention on them.

However, this being's demonic authority makes him prefer to resolve matters through violence.

If the Red Heart Society fails to meet the other party's expectations, then He will most likely take matters into His own hands and destroy the Red Heart Society directly.

Furthermore, in this war, the Heart Demon Clan and the Star Demon Clan will not act as henchmen of the Red Heart Society, charging to the front lines.

You need to be mentally prepared for this.

You listened to the words of the inner demon, your brow furrowed.

To be honest, you never even considered contacting these abyssal demons in the first place.

At least for now, you don't want to get involved.

[After all, the Abyss Demon God is too powerful; a misstep could bring annihilation upon Chi Xin.]

However, it is clear that once the Crimson Hearts demonstrate sufficient power to resist fate, the attention of the Abyss Demons will be ever-present.

This time, it won't be just the Star Demon God's test and support alone.

However, the rise of the Red Heart Society will also be fraught with difficulties.

[However, to your surprise, when you issued the order to attack the world of Avia, the Star Demon Sovereigns immediately declared that they would obey your command and attack wherever you told them to!]

When this news reached the ears of the Demon God, the expression on His face instantly froze.
