Against the backdrop of the abyss's restraint and hell's greed, the Red Heart Society, also situated on the edge of the battlefield and scheming to seize spoils, displays a rather unseemly greed.
While the Red Heart Society may be far from being able to contend with the wills of the two worlds in terms of absolute power, it believes it is second to none, and even rivals Hell, in terms of shamelessness in crucial moments.
[Especially those True Gods of the Rules like Agrus, whose hearts are filled with the four-word motto of "Invincible with Loyalty," they are willing to trample on their own dignity repeatedly without hesitation so that the Loyalty Society can seize even a little more resources for growth.]
What does a little shame matter as long as it strengthens the Red Heart Society?
However, the abyss and hell were far too cruel and efficient in their annihilation of the gods of heaven.
They are like the most precise and efficient slaughtering machines, often completely devouring the dissipated primordial power of the true God in Heaven the instant his divine status crumbles and his divine fire is extinguished.
Despite the swiftness and ferocity of the four gods of the Red Heart Society in their scramble, they ultimately managed to salvage only fragments of the broken divine bodies of the three Heavenly Lords.
[At the same time, just as the crimson tentacles of the Will of Hell were about to completely engulf the Judgment Lord's divine weapon—a symbol of supreme judgment, now broken in two—Agrius intervened.]
The colossal hand, burning with the flames of battle, shot out like lightning, snatching a larger fragment of the divine artifact from the jaws of the Will of Hell.
The massive crimson orb of Hell's Will abruptly paused. Its icy gaze swept over the half of the divine artifact in Agrelius's hand, still radiating a chilling aura of judgment, before glancing at the remaining portion in its own grasp.
But the emotions in his heart lasted only a moment before being suppressed by absolute reason.
Considering the grand plan to eventually encircle and destroy the will of the spirit realm and disrupt its core authority, which would require the Red Heart Society's madmen to lead the charge, the Will of Hell ultimately only let out a silent snort and chose to ignore it.
[So be it, it's just a broken artifact. Compared to the consuming essence of Heaven and the grander schemes to come, this loss is tolerable.]
[The most important thing right now is to devour the essence of the Heavenly Monarch and strengthen ourselves; the minor matter of the artifact being intercepted can be set aside for now.]
Thus, in this void battlefield stained crimson with the blood of fallen gods, a bizarre and cruel feast of spoils unfolded.
The dark torrent of the Abyss's will swept away the purest divine core, while the crimson tentacles of the Hell's will greedily devoured the embers of faith and souls. The true gods of the Red Heart Society, caught in the middle, scrambled for the relatively minor scraps.
At the same moment, deep within the sacred and magnificent central domain of the Heavenly Pantheon, beams of light shot into the sky.
The next moment, mournful divine sounds, originating from the complete annihilation of the divine essence, reverberated like tolling funeral bells, piercing through layers of spatial barriers and echoing shrilly in every divine thought that sensed this place.
Every mournful song signifies the utter fall of a Heavenly monarch who once wielded light and commanded the faith of millions, his divine fire extinguished forever.
The losses during this period, particularly the number of true gods who have fallen, have already surpassed the total number of true gods who have perished in all previous divine wars of the Heavenly Pantheon.
The cold, divine will of the gods silently sensed this sorrow that permeated the galaxy, its meaning crystal clear.
After this battle, the glorious reign of the Heavenly Gods, who once dominated the spirit world and looked down upon all heavens, will be completely dimmed. Their foundation has been shaken, and the turning point from prosperity to decline has arrived.
A once invincible behemoth is being dragged down from its pedestal and fallen to the dust in this meticulously planned and coordinated attack by three parties.
In March of the 372nd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, after the Red Heart Society's Equipment Department received the precious materials left behind by the divine remnants on the battlefield, along with a large quantity of captured faith crystals, the long-suppressed forging technology instantly entered an unprecedented breakthrough frenzy.
These top-tier materials from the realm of true gods have opened the door for the Equipment Department to the halls of higher divine creation.
[You, the founder of the Red Heart Society, astutely seized this opportunity, unhesitatingly removing all the minor divine artifacts you carried and throwing them directly back to the equipment department for reforging.]
The battlefields of the future will undoubtedly be even more dangerous and brutal. As the spiritual symbol and last resort of the Red Heart Society, your personal participation in the war is unavoidable. If not now, when will you arm yourself to the teeth?
The higher the grade of the equipment one possesses, and the more well it matches one's ultimate demigod combat power, the more decisive the role it will play in future divine wars.
Over the years, the researchers in the Equipment Department have evolved beyond mere apprentices who could only learn by trial and error; they have accumulated considerable experience in crafting these sub-divine weapons.
At this moment, under the combined catalysis of the divine mysteries contained within the body of the Heavenly Monarch, and the complete Artifact of Light and the half-finished Artifact of Judgment serving as top-level reference points, all technological bottlenecks melted away rapidly, like thin ice under the sun.
[Forging theory, divine rune inscription, material fusion, energy conduction... With abundant materials and innovative theories, all key technologies have achieved a qualitative leap.]
[This explosive breakthrough in the core area of the Equipment Department instantly triggered a chain reaction, and its ripples quickly spread to the entire military-industrial technology system of the Red Heart Society.]
[The Armed Forces Department, in particular, which is inextricably linked to the Equipment Department and together constitutes the Red Heart Society's weapon of war, was the first to benefit from this technological revolution.]
[The Divine Power Military Weapon, the ultimate war weapon designed to leverage the power of the true gods with mortal formations, has undergone unprecedented optimization and upgrades in its design concept and energy architecture under the guidance of the Equipment Department's new theories.]
With higher energy transmission efficiency, more precise guidance of the power of rules, and more controllable burst thresholds, the blueprint for the next generation of divine military weaponry is gradually becoming clear in the research institute's quantum computer simulations, and its power and potential are truly inspiring.
[In June of the 375th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, after years of relentless and brutal attacks from the Abyss, Hell, and the Crimson Heart Society, the main force of the Heavenly Gods, trapped in a death trap, finally faced its final chapter.]
As the last glimmer of hope for escape was extinguished like a candle flickering in the wind, several true gods of Heaven, realizing their survival was hopeless, unleashed a destructive light in their eyes, a light entirely different from the holy light of their faith.
They no longer hesitated to expend the divine essence that sustains eternity, igniting it like kindling, intending to transform it into the most dazzling fireworks of destruction in their final moments, dragging as many enemies as possible down with them.
However, the Red Heart Society are extremely experienced veterans of the "burn everything" style of fighting.
[Aglaus and the other true gods of the rules sensed an alarm almost the instant the auras of the Heavenly Lords began to surge wildly.]
【withdraw!】
Without the slightest hesitation, the True Gods and elite forces of the Red Heart Society retreated rapidly like a tidal wave, completely relinquishing the main battlefield.
Since the Red Heart Society is mainly responsible for getting the scraps in this grand feast of encirclement and annihilation, then the Abyss and Hell, who are feasting on the meat, should naturally be at the forefront to bear the risks when facing the enemy's final self-destructive counterattack.
This is simply the law of the jungle, where profits and risks are commensurate!
Most importantly, the Red Heart Society, with its small frame, couldn't withstand the self-destructive attacks of several True Gods.
[Because spontaneous combustion is the trump card of the Chixinhui True God, a single trick that allows them to conquer the world!]
It is precisely because of this trump card that the gods are hesitant to act against the Red Heart Society.
Therefore, Chixin understands better than anyone the immense power of the true god's spontaneous combustion and unleashing of all its might.
Ultimately, the cooperation between the Red Heart Society and the Abyss and Hell is nothing more than mutual exploitation born from a conflict of interests.
Now that it's time to take risks, the Red Heart Society will naturally not be so righteous and awe-inspiring.
[We will not hesitate to stand up for our fellow countrymen!]
[But in matters of public opinion and even in the calculation of conspiracies and schemes, the Red Heart Society must also occupy the absolute high ground.]
After all, for the Red Heart Society to grow, it must be more wicked than the abyss and more sinister than hell!
Only in this way can the Red Heart Society usher in its glorious tomorrow!
Chapter 434 The Complete Collapse of Paradise
On the other hand, the will of the abyss and the will of hell had anticipated this.
From the moment they joined forces to set this deadly trap, they had already taken into account the possibility of a desperate struggle among the gods of Heaven.
Faced with those suddenly blazing orbs of destructive light that seemed poised to engulf everything, two immense forces representing the very essence of chaos and destruction instantly merged.
The next moment, darkness and crimson intertwined to form a colossal, annihilating net capable of covering entire star fields, descending with unparalleled suppressive power.
The terrifying self-destruct energy, powerful enough to evaporate planets and shatter the very rules of existence, was like a candle flame thrown into an invisible furnace before the combined suppression of these two world wills.
Despite its fierce struggles and the destructive shockwaves that shook the universe, it ultimately failed to completely tear apart the world-destroying web.
The vast majority of the destructive power was forcibly compressed and then annihilated within the giant net.
Only a raging torrent of energy, like a flood bursting its banks, erupted from the gaps in the net, transforming into a destructive storm that swept across the surrounding area, utterly crushing the already shattered stars into dust.
The sheer force of the self-destruction of several Heavenly Gods looked as if their faces were smeared with scalding divine blood from the Abyss and Hell.
Although they were in a sorry state, they failed to suffer any real damage.
[Just as the destructive storm was raging and chaos was receding, a highly ironic scene unfolded.]
Several self-proclaimed gods of Heaven, who hailed themselves as the standard of order and embodiments of light, succumbed to the threat of absolute death.
[Having sensed the thoughts of these true gods of Heaven, the Abyss immediately offered the temptation of survival in Hell.]
The absolute rationality inherent in the divine will of the true God in Heaven instantly overwhelmed the glory of faith.
They chose to kneel instead of igniting the last divine fire.
[Carrying a portion of the essence of Heaven's faith that he controlled, he entered into a humiliating and corrupt pact with the will of the Abyss or Hell.]
They chose to betray the holy light of Heaven, plunging into the chaos of the abyss or the filth of hell, in exchange for a chance to prolong their lives.
After all, the Abyss and Hell are not the righteous sects determined to completely settle blood feuds. They have no obsession with exterminating the surrendered true god of Heaven. As long as it can strengthen themselves, why not?
Faced with the choice between the chilling prospect of death and the precarious prospect of new life, these once-lofty monarchs of Heaven ultimately made the most rational choice, one befitting their divinity.
[Bearing the mark of heaven, they succumb to darkness or crimson, making a vow they will never regret.]
The once invincible glory of the Heavenly Pantheon has begun to fade amidst the smoke of this siege and the dust of betrayal.
This scene, unfolding at the tail end of a devastating storm, is so ironic and absurd that, if publicized, it would shake the very foundations of the understanding of billions of believers worldwide.
Imagine those Heavenly monarchs, praised in the sacred scriptures as embodiments of light, guardians of order, and supreme beings, kneeling before the abyss of chaos and the filth of hell under the ultimate threat of death.
This is utterly the ultimate blasphemy against the sacred order that the pantheon of gods has meticulously crafted over billions of years!
Any fanatical believer who ascends to heaven would rather perish and be lost forever than witness the source of their faith suffer such a humiliating disgrace.
For them, individual life may perish, but the purity and sanctity of their faith are paramount and worth defending at all costs.
However, at this moment, the supreme beings they worshipped—these monarchs bathed in holy light and commanding billions of angels—made a different choice from them.
[Under the shadow of absolute annihilation, they unhesitatingly abandoned the principles they had upheld and chose to eke out a living.]
In those final, decisive moments, even the gods revered as eternal beacons by their followers behaved less admirably than ordinary beings in the mortal world who generously sacrificed their lives for their faith.
This blatant betrayal has completely shattered the sacred and inviolable veil of the Heavenly pantheon, revealing its cold and cruel nature.
Upon closer examination, this is actually quite normal.
After all, all rules, all etiquette, all traditions, everything—they are all meant to regulate ordinary people and those at the bottom of society.
The upper layers of any interface discipline the lower layers in almost the same way.
Use morality to tame them.
Use courtesy to make them docile.
The upper echelons, however, disregarded all of this and used every means to obtain what they wanted.
Does good deeds always bring good fortune?
【Do not! 】
The strong are rewarded!
Beside him, cold flames flickered within the golden eyes of Agrus.
[He quietly activated a special image-recording technique, meticulously imprinting every humiliating detail of the corrupt pacts these heavenly gods made with the will of the abyss or hell onto fragments of time and space.]
He knew that the Heavenly pantheon might be severely weakened and plunged into an unprecedented low due to the fall and betrayal of a group of core rulers.
However, its vast foundation of faith has not been truly shaken; the churches of holy light scattered throughout countless worlds, the billions of fervent believers, and the basic base upon which the order of Heaven is built still exist.
Given time to recover, the behemoth that is the Heavenly Pantheon will eventually lick its wounds and return with a vengeance.
[But what if this irrefutable evidence, recording the true God of Heaven's betrayal of the Holy Light and his eternal fall into chaos and defilement, could be precisely injected, like the most lethal poison, into the billions of faiths ruled by the Heavenly God system?]
What devastating blow will be dealt to the foundations of the faith of those who revere the Lord of Heaven as the supreme being, when they witness their god kneeling before death and turning away from the holy light?
The Red Heart Society's consistent goal has always been to completely destroy the Heavenly Pantheon and avenge the blood feuds of previous timelines!
Now that they possess such a deadly weapon capable of fundamentally undermining faith in Heaven and tearing apart its internal cohesion, how could the Red Heart Society possibly abandon it?
This footage will be the sharpest dagger plunged into the heart of heaven in the future!
In May of the 380th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Equipment Department of the Red Heart Society received a special and challenging mission.
Using scraps of divine materials salvaged from the edge of the battlefield, imbued with the broken divinity and holy light of the true gods of heaven, the top craftsmen of the Equipment Department began an unprecedented forging process.
Although these materials are precious, they possess the unique luminous and holy attributes of the Heavenly Pantheon, and their energy nature is somewhat incompatible with the mainstream rules and power of the Red Heart Society.
Ultimately, with the Equipment Department's relentless investment and the divine assistance of the four True Gods of the Rules, several lesser divine artifacts radiating a gentle yet resilient holy light, along with a collection of semi-divine artifacts of varying attributes, were successfully forged.
These pieces of equipment have an ancient and solemn design, with sacred runes unique to heaven flowing across their surfaces, and their core energy fluctuations are pure and intense.
However, an unavoidable limitation also arises: due to the inherent properties of the materials and the energy guiding process during forging, the requirements for wearing this batch of Light-type equipment are extremely stringent.
Only demigods who have comprehended the rules of light, or whose own power attributes are highly compatible with holy light, can perfectly wield its power.
Otherwise, forcibly using it will only trigger an energy backlash, which may at best damage the equipment, and at worst harm the user's very essence.
Faced with this batch of powerful but restricted spoils, the Red Heart Society's leadership did not hesitate for a moment.
【waste?】
Absolutely impossible!
Now that the equipment attributes are fixed, let's train people who can use them!
The Red Heart Society can wage a war of revenge against the Heavenly Pantheon, but this does not mean rejecting the essence of power and divine knowledge contained within its system.
The core principles of the Red Heart Society are pragmatism and the supremacy of power; anything that can strengthen itself and contribute to the realization of its ideals can be used for its own purposes.
The Heavenly Pantheon does indeed possess unique strengths in the application of the power of light, the construction of its belief system, and even the precision of its divine magic.
