Chapter 431 The Great Siege Begins

Faced with the Prophet's proposal, which carried the majesty of Heaven and seemed conciliatory but was in fact an ultimatum, the core of the Red Heart Society's leadership responded coldly and resolutely, unsurprisingly rejecting it outright.

This is not recklessness, but an inevitable reckoning born from the accumulated blood feuds across several timelines.

[Having accumulated blood feuds across several timelines, the Red Heart Society's hatred for the Heavenly Pantheon even surpasses that of the Abyss!]

Despite the fact that the Crimson Heart Society was destroyed several times due to the Abyss, [the situation remained unchanged].

[But before the Red Heart Society rises, the Red Heart World Cup's absorption is an inevitable trend.]

However, the reason given by the Heavenly Pantheon for destroying the Red Heart Society is rather disgusting.

Therefore, this revenge battle is a must!

At the same time, a solemn declaration, branded with the mark of a crimson heart, instantly shattered the silence of the universe, resounding throughout the will and perception of billions of worlds.

The war between the Red Heart Society and the Heavenly Pantheon, once it breaks out, will be a fight to the death!

There is absolutely no room for maneuver!

Either the pantheon of Heaven will completely collapse, and the Holy Light will be forever lost.

Either a sincere heart will extinguish the last embers of idealism, and civilization will perish!

No coexistence is possible!

No peace talks!

[The final outcome will only be one side utterly crushing the other into the dustbin of history!]

This earth-shattering declaration of war, like the most violent void storm, left the gods of Heaven somewhat bewildered.

Even the unchanging, cold divine will of the Heavenly Lords showed a rare moment of hesitation and astonishment.

Beneath their faces, bathed in holy light, lay an unbelievable absurdity and a barely perceptible sense of dread.

What is the Red Heart Society trying to achieve by doing this?

With the Heavenly Pantheon having fully revealed its immense power and over twenty true gods of faith exerting joint pressure, how dare these madmen of the Red Heart Society still adopt such a resolute and ruthless attitude of mutual destruction?

Is the ultimate goal of the Red Heart Society to drag the Heavenly Pantheon down with them into eternal darkness?

[A single mad force is not frightening; what is frightening is that this mad force, after losing one True God, still possesses six True Gods guarding it!]

[Aglaus's burning battle flames, the unpredictable domains of the God of Night and the God of Pain, the intangible and formless mental storm of the Rule God, plus the imposing authority of Deng Qi and Xiahou Chuan, two Hell-type True Gods]

The destructive torrent formed by the convergence of these six divine powers is enough to make any pantheon tremble with fear!

Now, the Red Heart Society has sounded its war horn, burning everything in its path, like the hottest branding iron, firmly welding the Heavenly Pantheon to the pillar of shame!

Regardless of the intricate calculations or deadly traps hidden behind this, and no matter how illogical the Red Heart Society's reaction may be, the Heavenly Pantheon has been utterly pushed to the brink of collapse.

That resounding declaration of an endless, all-out struggle was the most blatant and utter trampling of the dignity of Heaven!

As a dominant power in the spirit realm for countless eons, when has Heaven ever suffered such a humiliating disgrace?

The foundation of faith for millions of believers is crumbling, and the scrutinizing gaze of the gods is like a thorn in their side!

【retreat?】

Absolutely impossible!

Only by erasing the Red Heart Society, along with its ridiculous ideals, from the cosmic landscape with the most violent and divine wrath can Heaven's unquestionable and supreme majesty be restored!

The most intense battle of gods between the two sides has now begun!

In April of the 360th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the war between the two sides transformed into a meat grinder that devoured everything.

The True Gods of the Red Heart Society are like giant swords drawn from their sheaths, ready to draw blood, unleashing their full divine power without reservation.

[Agrius's molten fist shattered the barrier of holy light, the eternal darkness of the night god swallowed the path of the angelic legion's charge, the invisible shriek of the god of pain disintegrated the will forged by the hymn, and the mental storm of the god of rules precisely paralyzed every tactical node.]

Their fighting style is incredibly fierce, often involving a desperate, all-out attack.

In contrast, the gods of Heaven displayed the unique defensive power and torrent of divine magic unique to those who believe in the true God; their holy light barriers were dazzling, and their divine judgments poured down like a torrential rain.

However, the Red Heart Society did not employ the conventional tactic of luring the enemy deep into their territory.

The rulers of Heaven are not fools; an overly obvious trap will only raise their suspicions.

The core strategy of the Red Heart Society is to use itself as the sharpest bait, slowly luring others into an encirclement through this open conspiracy concerning the very survival of their faith.

However, as expected, the course of the battle unfolded in a bizarre and brutal manner!

On one hand, every move the True God of the Red Heart Society makes is a fatal blow; his desperate, life-or-death attitude is chilling.

On the other hand, the Red Heart Society's iron torrent, like a greedy glutton, is frantically devouring the faith pastures of the Heavenly Pantheon scattered across countless worlds.

Those worlds that continuously supply the sacred mountain of heaven with the power of faith are the foundation of the power of the gods in heaven, and the most vital lifeline beneath their divine thrones.

The fall of every world means a step is taken away from the foundation of faith in Heaven.

This direct, ancestral-desecration-like attack ignited the deepest fear and rage within the hearts of the gods of Heaven. This was unlike the divine war rallied by the will of the spirit realm; in that war, the dozens or even hundreds of powerful true gods forcibly conscripted by the spirit realm's will were merely bystanders, going through the motions.

Only by evading the scrutiny of the spirit realm's will can they avoid risking their lives against those madmen of the Red Heart Society for the sake of the spirit realm's interests.

But this time is different!

This is a battle for the very survival of the Heavenly Pantheon!

The loss of every world of faith weakens the very foundation of their power.

Unless the Red Heart Society is completely annihilated or severely crippled, this blade of vengeance will never cease.

Therefore, the gods of Heaven went completely mad, unleashing divine magic as if it were free, and the Holy Spirit Legion launched suicidal charges by burning their very essence, employing ruthless tactics in an attempt to completely eradicate the Red Heart Society, this greatest threat to their hearts.

In this fiercely protracted battle, the four True Gods of the Red Heart Society displayed astonishing tactical skills.

Sometimes they would launch a joint attack, tearing apart Heaven's defenses; sometimes they would take turns providing cover, fighting and retreating simultaneously; and sometimes they would use themselves as bait to lure Heaven's main force deeper into pursuit.

Every seemingly desperate retreat, every defense that withstood heavy blows, was like a finely tuned gear, silently leading the true god of heaven towards that desolate void shrouded by the combined forces of the abyss and the will of hell.

Space is distorted here, rules are confused, and all prying eyes are subtly interfered with by the primal forces of crimson and darkness.

When more than two-thirds of the true gods of Heaven were successfully lured into this seemingly ordinary battleground, the Prophet, who had always been stationed at the heart of Heaven, finally could not restrain himself and stepped one foot into this vortex of death.

However, the instant the avatar of the Prophet stepped into this place, a terrifying tremor originating from the deepest part of His divine essence, like billions of ice needles, pierced through His divine will, which was constructed from the pure rules of foreknowledge.

[In the darkness, two forces of extreme malice, faint yet so pure they froze the soul, that He had never felt before, suddenly locked onto Him.]

That wasn't hostility towards Heaven, nor was it blasphemy against faith; it was a more ancient, more primal, destructive will that seemed intent on uprooting the entire pantheon of Heaven.

【retreat!】

[Retreat!]

Leave immediately!!!

Otherwise, certain death is certain!

The divine warning of the Prophet Lord resounded wildly within the core of His consciousness, and every eye that foresees truth was weeping blood and shattering.

Almost instantly, the Prophet Lord discerned the truth.

This place is no ordinary battlefield; it is a meticulously prepared execution ground for the Heavenly Pantheon by the Red Heart Society in conjunction with those two terrifying beings.

Damn it!

[It's one thing for the Red Heart Society to have connections with Hell, but how does it also have such a deep relationship with the Will of the Abyss?]

Has the will of the abyss forgotten the shame of the self-destruction of the Star Demon God and the Heart Demon God?

Or is it that the tolerance of the global will is simply that high?

[You don't care if your power is stolen, or even if you're publicly humiliated?]

[And at that very moment, the Prophet's unusual behavior and his attempt to retreat were directly captured by the Rule Mind that had been observing Him.]

[The power of the Heart Demon God's mind penetrated all the chaotic energy currents, precisely sensing the terror and resignation emanating from the Prophet Lord—a terror capable of overturning the course of the battle!]

[Let's get started!!]

A chilling, piercing scream echoed across the battlefield.

[Buzz——!!!]

An indescribable wave of terror instantly ripped through the disguise.

Two immense wills, powerful enough to make galaxies tremble and gods tremble, have descended!

Those were the will of the abyss, representing endless chaos and destruction, and the will of hell, symbolizing cunning and crimson origin. These two great world wills were like two long-dormant behemoths of destruction, their immense and unparalleled power roaring across the sky.

The crimson and dark intertwined source of destruction instantly materialized into tangible shackles, completely sealing off the entire star field.

[Boom! B ...

Two immense powers emanating from the very origin of the Great World descended like a cataclysmic torrent, their target the trapped gods of Heaven.

Meanwhile, the figures of the Abyss Demon God and the Hell-based True God, who were engaged in fierce battle with the gods of the Spirit Realm on the main battlefield, instantly became illusory.

They were forcibly moved to this sealed-off area by the will of the abyss and the will of hell to engage in combat.

[As expected, the Abyss Demon God and the Hell-based True God, as two powerful forces, were directly thrown into this decisive battle against Heaven.]

This sudden and dramatic change left the gods of the spirit realm and the few remaining Heavenly monarchs who were still putting up a fight completely stunned.

The terrifying tremor emanating from the border between the Red Heart Society and Heaven, powerful enough to make the very fabric of the universe groan, instantly stunned the gods participating in the divine war.

At this moment, they even temporarily forgot about casting and defending against divine magic.
