My profession panel inspires loyalty.

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.

Chapter 247 Pope Avia: My Status is High, I Need Preferential Treatment

The moment the "Guide to Founder Faith Pressure Assessment and Public Coping Suggestions" released by the Red Heart Research Institute began to circulate, the entire Red Heart world was plunged into bewilderment.

The report revealed a chilling truth to the members of the Red Heart Society, something that was unacceptable to everyone.

The founder's high-intensity act of using immense faith power to construct a barrier in order to defend against Avia's desperate sneak attack is causing it to continuously suffer the backlash of the emotional faith of millions of believers.

The fears, confusion, sadness, and even fleeting resentment of the Red Heart Society members are like countless invisible, fine files, constantly eroding the foundation upon which civilization progresses on a spiritual level.

After thoroughly studying the report, members of the Red Heart Society began to try their best to remain calm and maintain a happy mood every day, following the coping methods mentioned in the report.

Even more extreme, some people completely hypnotize their own souls, attempting to deprive themselves of the source of their negative emotions.

[Extreme measures are not limited to the one currently in use.]

[Some sorcerers have directly manipulated their own souls, sealing off the part of their three souls and seven spirits that manages negative emotions; others have even severed it entirely.]

In their view, anything that can help you is worth doing.

[At your command, they would willingly die for you; what's a small cut in their own souls compared to that?]

My fervent devotion to you stems from my absolute faith in my cherished ideals!

They believe that under your leadership as a pioneer, their lives will become better and better.

The ideal of a future where everyone is like a dragon will surely come true one day.

Whether it's the increasingly efficient cultivation techniques for refining divinely bestowed crystals, the free distribution of epic equipment, or the subsidies related to skill cards, etc.

All of this indicates that Chixin Society is rapidly developing on an upward trajectory.

When a collective, comprised of hundreds of billions of extraordinary professionals, is guided by your powerful hand and strives towards a common goal, everyone's hearts are filled with passion!

All of this is predicated on the fact that you, the founder, are still alive.

If you leave, this ideal may decline further until it becomes nothing more than an empty appeal.

Because of the Red Heart Society's absolute emphasis on education, all members have clearly learned self-analysis and self-exploration.

[He even has some knowledge of various philosophical and historical books.]

Throughout history, it has been perfectly normal for the powerful to seize social resources to support themselves and even arrange various extraordinary privileges for themselves, separating themselves from ordinary people.

[With your presence, the Red Heart Society, this soaring dragon, can maintain its purity.]

Without your suppression, no one dares to imagine what kind of disintegration would have occurred in the future.

Therefore, even with the response plan provided by the Red Heart Society headquarters, the entire Red Heart Society was still shrouded in an unparalleled sense of oppression and anger.

When overwhelming emotions could not be expressed, and when unparalleled rage was brewing, the culprit—the world of Avia—became the target of the soldiers' attack.

If it weren't for Avia's betrayal, would Chixin have ended up like this?

If it weren't for Avia, that ungrateful wretch, betraying his own people, why would the great founder have mobilized the power of faith for defense?

【everything!】

It's all Ivia's fault!

[The world of Avia shouldn't exist anymore!]

All high-ranking officials of Avia will have to pay the price of their entire clan's extermination for this!

【Do not! 】

[It should be said that it was the price of the extermination of ten, or even eighteen, races!]

Thus, under a war order from the Red Heart Society headquarters, the largest mobilization and foreign war in the history of the Red Heart World broke out!

When the Red Heart Alliance stormed into the Avia Sanctuary and dragged the Pope of Avia from his throne, he maintained his aloof and superior demeanor.

He even demanded that the Red Heart Society treat him as befits his status.

As the de facto ruler of the world of Avia, the Pope of the Avia religion, and the most divine being in the entire world, he deserves to be treated with respect.

[But his response wasn't a trial's pronouncement, because the soldiers of the Combined Regiment didn't want to waste their breath on this idiot.]

[A right hand, encased in ultimate armor, brutally gripped Pope Avia's throat, tearing him from his papal throne.]

Pope Avia's body, its potential already drained by the secret technique, traced a pathetic arc in the air before crashing heavily onto the cold, hard temple floor.

【treatment?】

You old beast!

[Do you still want better treatment?]

[You should be grateful we didn't directly extract your soul and roast it under the Netherworld Fire!]

A warrior with eyes burning with the flames of vengeance could no longer contain his boiling rage and kicked Pope Avia hard in the ribs.

This kick seemed to mark the beginning.

The surrounding Red Heart Alliance warriors immediately began to inflict the most agonizing tortures upon him.

Physical blows and kicks were simply insufficient to vent the anger of the Combined Legion soldiers.

Of course, this is just an appetizer!

The soul-piercing blows from the soldiers on the front lines couldn't directly affect the lingering torment deep within Pope Avia's soul, coupled with the Red Heart Society's unique soul-torsuring punishments.

[One by one, powers capable of making life worse than death were forcibly poured into the Pope's consciousness by the combined warriors, who were skilled in soul attacks.]

However, without orders from the Red Heart Society headquarters, that bastard Pope Avia cannot be killed.

Even if many members of the joint task force wanted to kill the other party outright, they could simply return to the Red Heart Society headquarters and face a military tribunal to pay with their lives.

After all, it was because of this old dog that their revered founder was plunged into such a predicament.

[But the commander's words immediately quelled the restlessness in their hearts.]

[You're willing to trade your lives for one, but have you considered how disappointed and frustrated the founder would be to see this scene, to see his loyal warriors, whom he personally trained, give their lives for this old dog?]

[It's just an old dog destined to die; why rush it?]

Moreover... death, for this old dog, will inevitably become a distant dream in the future.

Pope Avia gritted her teeth in fury as she listened to the loyal warriors around her calling her an "old dog."

[These brutes from the Red Heart Society have absolutely no respect for those in high positions, especially for a demigod like him!]

[If it weren't for maintaining the Sanctuary's defensive core, which depleted all my power and soul force, I would never have been humiliated by a bunch of ants like this!]

Damn it!

[It's truly incomprehensible how a group of lowly ants could, when united, unleash power capable of overwhelming a top-tier demigod like him.]

[Especially with the added benefit of the temple's millennia-long accumulated foundation.]

However, he felt it unnecessary to waste his breath arguing with these brutes.

[If I could get an audience with the high-ranking members of the Red Heart Society, given the historically favorable treatment given to high-ranking enemy officials, the Red Heart Society would surely grant me a prisoner-of-war policy befitting my status.]

[After all, he was the person closest to godhood in the world of Avia. Could they really treat him like an ordinary soldier?]

[It was only after Pope Avia was detained by the Allied soldiers and sent back to the Red Heart Society headquarters that he realized how absurd his original thoughts had been.]

[A sinner who hindered the realization of Red Heart's ambition!]

[As the direct perpetrator who severed the lifeblood of the founder of the Red Heart Society!]

How could the Red Heart Society possibly offer preferential treatment?

[Starting with Lin Xue, Deng Qi, the old principal, Jian Lao, Jun Lao, and even members of the demonic forces like Agrus, all arrived immediately to subject her to the purest form of torture.]

[Especially those ten Star Demon Supremes, who mobilized the vast array of torture methods employed by the Star Demon race, and used their connections to send over various instruments of torture that only existed in legends.]

After all, they had all engraved their lofty pursuit of their ideals deep within their souls, and now, seeing their ideals about to be thrown into turmoil, their inner pain was unimaginable.

Under such circumstances, their resentment towards Pope Avia was no less than that of other fanatical members of the Faith Society.

[And the retribution and torment that Pope Avia suffered in the Red Heart Society was only the beginning.]

Every single one of the high-ranking members of the Avia world will be caught!

After all, activating the All-Spirit Forging Cannon was not something Pope Avia could do alone.

[To all participants!]

They will all suffer the harshest and most devastating retaliation from the Red Heart Society!

Chapter 248 Glory belongs to the high-ranking, while death belongs to the common people.

Once the Red Heart Alliance has completed the clearing and occupation of core areas such as the Avia Sanctuary, it will, as you commanded, escort the Avia war criminals back to the Red Heart world.

After the Red Heart Alliance left, the heavy responsibility of taking over the Avia World Sanctuary fell to the Demon Suppression Alliance.

[However, when the elite squad under the Demon Suppression Alliance, empowered by their ultimate battle armor, stormed into the Temple of the End where the Ten Thousand Spirits Forging Cannon was located, what they found before them was astonishing.]

The magnificent artifact we envisioned has vanished; what now stands before us is a chilling, desolate ruin.

The once majestic, mountain-like pedestal of the All-Spirit Cannon, radiating endless holy light, is now covered layer upon layer with a viscous, abyssal filth resembling living sludge.

The sacred skeleton inscriptions of the cannon-casting, which once shone like the veins of stars, are now completely dim and lifeless.

The mysterious patterns engraved upon it appear as if they have been torn and gnawed by demons from the abyss, presenting a fragmented and distorted appearance.

The sturdy inner walls, strong enough to withstand the torrent of faith, and the core of the cannon barrel, forged from an unknown sacred metal, were also covered with spiderweb-like dark purple corrosion marks.

This magnificent sacred artifact, capable of annihilating the phantom of a demon god, forced the Red Heart Society to prematurely utilize the terrifying power of their faith barrier; its internal structure is now twisted and deformed.

The hum emanating from within was no longer a sacred resonance; corroded by the negative energy of the abyss, it now emitted blasphemous whispers in the ears of all living beings.

The breathtaking aura of the sacred artifacts, the dazzling radiance of faith—all have vanished!

The scene was deathly silent!

[Complete silence!]

None of the Demon Suppression Team members expected that Pope Avia would destroy this magnificent creation of faith so thoroughly.

The technical representative accompanying the Red Heart Research Institute watched all this with a grim expression.

However, he still began searching for information related to the All-Spirit Cannon as quickly as possible.

After all, for the Red Heart Society, the most important thing in the entire world of Avia is this enormous Cannon of All Spirits before them.

The collapse rate of the deep-seated rule structure is 67.3%, and the erosion rate of the core belief imprint has reached 92.1%...

The original structural integrity is severely compromised; estimated residual value is less than 5%!

After completing the assessment, the technical representative was seething with resentment.

[Those damned Avia high command, how could they have destroyed the All-Spirit Forging Cannon to this extent?!]

They should all be subjected to the most severe punishment, and even billions of years of execution would not be enough to quell the hatred in his heart.

What the Red Heart Society needs most is a complete All-Spirit Forging Cannon!

All departments within the research institute were already eager to begin a comprehensive disassembly and analysis once the physical artifact was transported back.

[No matter how much valuable data the Red Heart Society research team previously stole from the inactive state of the Wanling Cannon Casting, it could not replace the direct measurement and analysis of the cannon's physical structure, energy conduction path, and material stress distribution.]

But now!

Everything is ruined!

This supreme relic, capable of sustaining the accumulated power of faith in the world of Avia for millennia, has been completely hollowed out by the toxins carried by the power of the abyss!

Even so, the Red Heart Society Research Institute still intends to retrieve the All-Spirit Forging Cannon, which has been corrupted to the extreme.
