You want me to take out a loan to practice cultivation? I'll just pay off the debt physically.

In this sudden turn of events, the biggest victim is the will of hell.

The core of His will, constructed of cold covenants and scarlet chains, was now trembling violently from extreme rage and a sense of betrayal.

[When the Crimson Heart Society, like ghosts, instantly withdrew from the Spirit Realm battlefield under the immense power of the Star Demon God, the vacuum they left behind was immediately filled by the long-planned world-destroying divine punishment of the Spirit Realm's will.]

[And at the heart of this destructive storm are those hellish true gods who failed to be guided by the starlight.]

Their numbers are so vast that they comprise almost half of the total number of true gods in hell.

These core forces, wielding the core authority of Hell and maintaining its operation, were utterly crushed by the unreserved, world-class overwhelming force of the Spirit Realm's will. Their divine bodies disintegrated, their divine essence shattered, and the divine fire symbolizing eternity was extinguished in an instant, like a candle flickering in the wind.

This is not merely the fall of an individual true god, but a devastating blow to the very foundation of Hell.

What caused the will of hell even greater pain was the question of who would inherit the spoils.

It is reasonable that the spirit realm's essence, plundered from the spirit realm's territory and carried within the bodies of those fallen true gods, would be reclaimed by the spirit realm's will.

After all, this was stolen goods.

What is most unacceptable is that after these true gods fell, the source of hellish authority contained within their divine cores was also devoured and absorbed by the will of the spirit realm, and used for its own purposes.

This is no longer a simple battlefield loss; it is a direct plunder and assimilation of the very essence of the hellish world.

This is a complete and utter elimination of any potential threats!

[We've lost so much money!]

The sheer magnitude of this loss ignited a raging fury within the Hellish Will, a temperament honed over billions of years and known for its absolute rationality and calm calculation.

He felt like a global sucker, ripped off and left penniless by a conspiracies between allies and enemies.

And so, the crimson scythe, a symbol of the will of hell, formed from countless ancient contract runes, hummed violently as it pointed fiercely at the chaotic vortex where the will of the abyss resided.

[The will of hell, usually as calm and even as the most precise laws, was now filled with frenzied questioning and incredulous roars.]

【abyss!】

Is your chaotic mind filled with the garbage from the Star Abyss?

Are you out of your mind?

What on earth is wrong with you?

[What's wrong with you?]

Why should we cooperate with that hypocrite of the spirit world, who claims to uphold order, our mortal enemy of billions of years?

【what? 】

[You think the spirit realm, after being beaten black and blue by the Red Heart Society and Hell, is so weakened that you, a lump of mud, can be propped up and put on equal footing with them, right?]

【madness! 】

Arrogant!

[They're courting their own destruction!]

The wrath of hell, like boiling magma, exploded into a crimson energy storm in the void.

Hell is furious!

I'm really angry!

[That damned will of the abyss! If it schemes and plots against Hell, ultimately swallowing the very essence of Hell into its own body, then even if it is defeated and falls, it can only admit that it was outmatched.]

But what is that old bastard doing?

[They tricked Hell, and then eagerly handed over Hell's most precious source of power, like a tribute, to that old devil in the spirit world to devour?]

【Is it funny?】

【abyss!】

【you tell me!】

When did you degenerate from the embodiment of chaos into such a brainless, shameless, and self-destructive idiot?

Where is your logic?

Where is your predatory instinct?

Did they all get eaten by the dogs?

Faced with the relentless, veiled, and insidious questioning of the Will of Hell, the Will of the Abyss fell into a deathly silence. There was no explanation, no rebuttal, not even the slightest hint of emotion.

The chaotic nebula representing His existence merely surged violently, as if desperately suppressing something, ultimately silently retracting all the tendrils of power previously used to intercept the will of hell.

This silence is not due to guilt or shame, but rather a calculated move driven by a gambler's mentality.

His loss was truly immense.

[And based on that fragile pact made with the will of the spirit world in the depths of darkness, a pact filled with betrayal and uncertainty.]

After successfully ambushing and devouring the essence of the Hell God, the will of the Spirit Realm must share half of the spoils with the Abyss.

The abyss's silence at this moment is one of waiting, of observing.

He placed all his bets on the spirit world's will adhering to this spoils-sharing agreement.

He believed that, logically speaking, the will of the spirit world should obey.

After all, the will of hell still exists, especially with the Red Heart Society, a mortal enemy that both sides despise.

[If you really want to turn against someone, shouldn't you wait until all of this is resolved first?]

Regardless of the circumstances, whether they can continue to cooperate, completely divide Hell, and then jointly confront the Red Heart Society depends on the sincerity of the Spirit Realm's will.

[In June of the 725st year of the Transcendent Calendar, as expected, an accident occurred.]

The will of the spirit world, through its actions, perfectly exemplified what it means to be utterly and predictably treacherous.

Instead of sharing even a fraction of the Hellish essence He devoured with the Abyss as agreed, He completely embezzled the vast amount of essence containing the core authority of Hell.

He integrated it into the core of his withered order to mend the wounds inflicted by the Red Heart Society and to attempt to restore its former glory.

This blatant betrayal, while understandable, far exceeded the expectations of the abyss's will.

【this】

Doesn't the will of the spirit world know how to keep accounts?

[And that temporary alliance of the Abyss Spirit Realm, built on the foundation of betrayal of Hell and as fragile as a spider's web, collapsed the instant the Spirit Realm's will swallowed the source.]

The fragile trust vanished, replaced by a hatred more intense and relentless than ever before.

The shortsighted, almost foolish, greed of the spirit realm's will has enraged not only the abyss.

Even the few remaining true gods within the spirit realm who had not yet undergone transformation or been taken away by the Red Heart Society felt extreme confusion and unease during their secret spiritual exchanges.

They could not understand why the will of the spirit world would do such a thing under such a once-in-a-lifetime circumstance.

Although the will of the abyss is hateful, it has indeed demonstrated its sincerity in continuing cooperation through concrete actions.

The situation is extremely favorable to us!

[The Spirit Realm's will only need to give a quarter, or even less, of the essence it just devoured as a deposit or earnest money to the Abyss, and that will be enough to firmly bind this powerful henchman to our chariot.]

[Anyway, the Abyss doesn't know exactly how much of Hell's essence the Spirit Realm obtained.]

When the abyss's greed is satisfied, its chaotic power will merge unreservedly with our great power of order.

[In this way, the spirit realm, with overwhelming force, could unite and completely devour and divide up Hell, which had already suffered heavy damage and lost most of its true gods.]

"Couldn't the will of the spirit world have considered these things?"

Most importantly, the Red Heart Society, in order to maintain the fragile balance of the universe, or rather, to preserve an ally or buffer zone for themselves, will inevitably come to support Hell.

This is the perfect opportunity for us to set a double trap with the Abyss, wait for them to tire themselves out, and lure the formidable forces of the Red Heart Society into the pre-arranged battlefield for a devastating blow.

[Their rules are their true gods, their divine power and military might, and their damned Star Demon God and Heart Demon God.]

[With proper planning, they can all be eliminated.]

This was originally a brilliant move that could have turned the tide, or even severely crippled two formidable opponents!

And now?

What did the spirit world do?

[This guy actually hogged the key bait that could power the double-edged sword of the Abyss!]

[How come the spirit world's will started acting like a moron and doing stupid things as soon as the situation improved?] (End of Chapter)
