Chapter 145 Being a Demon Doesn't Mean Being Too Saintly (Abyss Language) (5k)

You frowned when you received this message.

[Immediately afterwards, you deployed the Crimson Heart Legion and ten Demon Sealing Legions to the nearest defensive fortress.]

This massive city boasts formidable defenses. You had originally planned to wait for the opportune moment to swiftly conquer it.

But now it seems that this war can only be fought head-on.

After hearing this news from Deng Qi, the Lava Demon felt he could help with this matter.

[They even took this opportunity to recruit a portion of the servant army from the abyssal city.]

Perhaps this is also an opportunity for Him.

In the abyss, the strong reign supreme!

[If He can eliminate the city lord of the Abyss City, He can take over the city without bloodshed, according to the rules of the Abyss.]

You also see this as an opportunity.

However, this matter requires careful consideration.

In March of the 135th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, three War Demon Legions were dispatched from the Abyss City to attack the Crimson Heart Fortress. However, the Crimson Heart Army, which was well-prepared, was no match for these War Demon Legions.

The growing power of the Red Heart Society seems to have spurred the city lord of the Abyss City.

Soon, a level 98 Battle Demon emerged from the Abyss City.

The lava demon encountered its opponent right on their path.

[In an instant, the war between level 98 super lords broke out.]

[The Demon Fighter explained to the Lava Demon in ancient demonic language that this was a crucial matter entrusted to him by the will of the Abyss projection, and that it absolutely could not be handled recklessly!]

If we really want war, we should first join forces to wipe out these damned human insects.

After a moment's deliberation, the Lava Demon feigned agreement to the Demon Fighter's request.

At the same time, He demonstrated to the demons His disciplined army, which even employed formations for encirclement and attack.

The demon was drawn to the Lava Demon's minions.

[The Demon Fighter expressed his envy.]

The Demon Lord thought the Lava Demon's training methods were excellent. After this battle, He hoped the Lava Demon could help Him train a special force, for which He would pay a reward.

The Lava Demon accepted the task, stating that this would allow them to train their troops while fighting.

Doumo thought the Lava Demon's words made a lot of sense; war is the best catalyst for training an army.

[Therefore, He summoned the high command of His minions and ordered them to obey the Lava Demon's commands in the war.]

However, just in case, He still signed an agreement with the Lava Demon, stipulating that, under the witness of the Abyss's Will, the Lava Demon must not arbitrarily harm His army.

In June of the 135th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, months of brutal warfare had inflicted heavy losses on the army under the command of the Demon Fighter.

However, influenced by the Lava Demon's minions, this army under His command does indeed possess an elite quality.

[Especially after seeing the demon potions being used by the Lava Demon's subordinates, He also paid a high price to purchase a batch.]

[Furthermore, under the exclusive transmission of the Lava Demon, the army under the Battle Demon's command also began to perform the raised-hand salute, chanting "May you be victorious with a loyal heart" three times a day.]

Although Doumo didn't understand the value of these meaningless gestures, since they were useful, he might as well practice them!

[Thus, the army under the command of the Demon Fighter and the Lava Demon's minions became increasingly intertwined, and their relationship grew ever stronger.]

[Even at the behest of the Demon Fighter, the army obeyed the Lava Demon's commands more readily.]

[After all, in Doumo's view, the Lava Demon's inexplicable arrival here must be the work of the Abyss's projected will.]

Therefore, they should not have any conflicts before the Red Heart Society is completely eradicated.

Furthermore, they were merely a few million auxiliary troops.

The abyss lacks everything, but it has no shortage of these demon soldiers.

In August of the 135th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Demon Fighter entrusted the Lava Demon Servant Army with the responsibility of defending the city. In accordance with their agreement, the Lava Demons would be given a batch of valuable soul crystals daily.

Seeing that the time was ripe, you directly mobilized a hundred guard regiments.

At this moment, all the Demon-Sealing Battle Groups and the strongest Guardian Battle Groups are here.

[Once the battle begins, you will burn your lifespan and life essence, activating all the effects of your battle aura domain.]

At the same time, the coverage area of ​​the battle aura reaches its maximum.

To win this war, to gain control of the Abyss City as quickly as possible, do you think it's worth it?

The Lava Demon tricked the Battle Demon into joining forces to stop the Crimson Heart Battle Group. The moment the two sides clashed on the battlefield, the Lava Demon gathered all its power and launched a surprise attack on the Battle Demon.

[The Demon Fighter's combat strength was already evenly matched with the Lava Demon's, and this sudden attack caught it completely off guard. Coupled with the fully empowered Crimson Heart Battle Group, it instantly found itself at a significant disadvantage.]

【Danger!】

【will die! 】

The Demon King's heart pounded wildly; he never imagined that the Lava Demon would have an affair with a human!

[With the will of the abyss calling for an attack on the new world, how dare a super abyss lord betray the abyss?]

【Isn't this courting death? 】

But now, He can't care about all that anymore.

[Because without external interference, it would be He who dies.]

So He began to call upon His servants and retinue, wanting them to come and shield Him with their lives.

[However, after being given large amounts of demon potions during this period, the chaotic will within the souls of the demon army under the Demon Fighter's command has been cleansed, and their crimson eyes have begun to gleam with a clear and ethereal quality.]

In other words, the rank-and-file demon soldiers aren't insane anymore; they've regained their senses.

While remaining rational, I began to reflect on my future and life.

[Furthermore, the Lava Demon's recent commands and orders have created the illusion that the Battle Demon's army is under dual command.]

[Even when the Demon Fighters and Lava Demons clash fiercely, this army from the Abyss City will simply freeze in place.]

[Especially the Lava Demon's minions stood by, using words to tempt them.]

Let's leave these important figures' affairs alone!

【well! 】

Regardless of who wins, we can simply follow the victor.

"We're just ordinary workers, earning a few thousand soul crystals a month. Why are you risking your life?"

Think about how Lord Lava treated us, and how heartfelt the Lava Demon was to us.

Lately, leveling up has relied entirely on demon potions.

Who do you think bought these medicines?

[Don't be too saintly when you're being a demon (Abyss language)!]

Amidst these whispers, the demonic army of the abyssal city hesitated.

In that brief moment of hesitation, the Crimson Hearts Legion had already ended their battle with the amplified Abyss Demon.

After all, the Lava Demon's identification with the Red Heart Society also granted it the amplification and enhancement of its battle aura.

The already unequal fighting forces became even more unequal with the enhancement of battle aura.

Thus, this large-scale war between the Abyss's regular army and the Red Heart Society ended in a strange manner, with the help of the Lava Demon, that traitor.

After this war, Redheart will be very happy, because he has gained the excellent defensive position of the Abyss City.

The Lava Demon was delighted; his army of minions had expanded dramatically.

The former servants were delighted; after the victory, the Red Heart Society's rewards would be very generous, and their ranks would be raised once again.

The new minions were also pleased, after all, the Lava Demon treated his subordinates so kindly, sometimes even offering free explanations of Demonology talents.

Where can you find such a great leader?

In this era where everyone is happy, no one cares about the idea of ​​fighting demons.

This is what it's like in the abyss.

In September of the 135th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Crimson Heart Society mobilized its greatest resources to begin emergency repairs and reconstruction of the Abyss City.

Upon receiving the news, the two array masters, Elder Jun and Elder Jian, rushed to the Abyss City to inscribe and repair the array patterns.

Fortunately, the Red Heart Society has a large enough number of professionals, and in this new era of diverse talents, there are also many professionals specializing in array formations.

[At your call, a large number of array masters have arrived in the Abyss City and begun to renovate it according to your vision.]

The defeat in the battle against the demon attracted the attention of the projected will of the abyss.

After spitting out a pool of blood, the lava demon's aura weakened.

[You know, this is punishment from the projected will of the abyss.]

[The Super Abyss Lord is a top-tier combat force, high above all others, during the world invasion.]

[But in the eyes of the projection in the abyss, this is nothing.]

However, the projected will of the abyss can only suppress lava demons; it cannot directly annihilate them. This is a power belonging to the abyss's will; the projected will is still somewhat lacking in this aspect.

[The abhorrence of the projected will is enough to influence the lava demon to do many things.]

[To compensate the Lava Demon, you ordered the Crimson Demon Research Department to conduct a thorough study of the corpse and soul of a level 98 Battle Demon.]

[We must ensure that the Lava Demon utilizes these precious resources to the highest possible rate during its future devouring.]

[In December of the 135th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the grand construction of the Abyss City came to a close.]

To commemorate this momentous occasion, the Red Heart Society renamed the Abyss City the Red Heart City.

From then on, the Red Heart Society finally had a foothold in the abyss.

The appearance of the Crimson Heart City seems to have angered the will of the Abyss projection.

In an instant, a vast abyssal demonic aura began to gather outside the Crimson Heart City.

[Boundless, high-level wild abyssal nests have begun to emerge here.]

Even though the Red Heart Warband cleared it out immediately, the powerful abyssal demonic tide that bred still exceeded the Red Heart Society's expectations.

Fortunately, Elder Jun and Elder Jian understood the importance of the Crimson Heart City. The super array patterns inscribed on it provided extremely powerful amplification. Since the Crimson Heart Society was only defending and not conducting any conquest activities, the super military weapons came in handy.

As the demonic tide surged, three to five super military weapons flew out from the Crimson Heart City.

Although such technological marvels are severely suppressed in the Abyss, the core explosive zone can still easily wipe out a high-level Abyss Lord.

[Anyone who isn't a high-ranking Abyss Lord is even more likely to die upon contact.]

Therefore, the landing of each super weapon greatly reduces the pressure on the defense of the Red Heart City.

This frenzied demonic onslaught also brought the Red Heart Society a large quantity of precious materials and divinely bestowed crystals.

The entire Red Heart Society, including its branches worldwide that overthrew existing regimes and established ideal states, is experiencing rapid growth in strength, with new developments almost every month.

In April of the 136th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the calls for loyalty within the White Eagle Empire grew increasingly louder.

The White Eagle Emperor, observing the surrounding nations that had undergone righteous reforms and whose national strength had greatly increased, began to ponder this matter deeply.

Currently, the White Eagle Empire faces relatively little pressure from the Abyss, both domestically and internationally, due to the presence of powerful forces like the Red Heart Society and the Kingdom of Farah.

At least, the country isn't on the verge of collapse.

According to the White Eagle Imperial Capital Research Institute, the intensity of the Abyss Demon Tide is increasing daily.

[Now that level 98 Abyss Lords are emerging, level 99 Abyss Lords will inevitably emerge in the future.]

[In the same month, a King-rank talent professional from the United States, possessing an eighth-level cultivation level and an assassin whose King-rank talent greatly enhances their escape abilities, arrived at the Red Heart Society headquarters via a teleportation array.]

He wanted to steal the Red Heart Society's cutting-edge technology for his country.

[Especially after he heard that these cutting-edge technologies originated from the founders of the Red Heart Society, he became even more eager to work in your office.]

Finally, this Rank 8 assassin fully utilized the power of his King-level talent, sneaking into your office and stealing the basic armor modification report that you had placed directly in front of you.

He had covered up the report using a notebook.

[Just as he finished his theft and was preparing to leave the Red Heart Society headquarters via a large teleportation array, a commotion erupted around him.]

[It turns out today is the day the Crimson Heart Society is holding a martial arts exchange meeting. You came from Crimson Heart City, and Elder Sword is protecting you.]

[Fanatical members of the Red Heart Society surrounded you, holding out various books you had published, hoping to get your autograph.]

You do not reject such behavior towards members who are loyal to you.

You never reject your admirers and ardent followers.

[But in your subconscious perception, amidst the endless, frenzied cheers around you, a flickering, uncertain flower of emotion stands out starkly.]

So you walked straight towards where the other person was.

When you meet the gaze of an eighth-rank assassin, and when you see the unease in their fearful eyes, you know they are not a member of the Red Heart Society.

This is a spy from a foreign land!

Coincidentally, you know the other person.

In the previous timeline, after conquering the United States, the Red Heart Society gained popular support and also acquired a group of powerful professionals.

These professionals, without exception, did not belong to aristocratic families, but rather rose through the ranks from humble beginnings through their own opportunities.

As liberals and humanists, they possessed immense compassion for the underprivileged and hoped that aristocratic families and nobles would treat commoners better.

After witnessing the various welfare policies of the Red Heart Society, they joined the society, chanting slogans to monitor the implementation of these policies.

As one of the few professionals with King-level talent and also possessing eighth-level cultivation, you must have left a deep impression on Weiss.

[After all, when the other party discovered that Chixin Society strictly adhered to the customized welfare policies, and even treated the lower classes with greater kindness than they had advocated, he was won over by Chixin's ideals and pledged his loyalty to you.]

In the final battle, he participated as a high-ranking member of the Second Demon-Sealing Team in the decisive battle to contain the three-headed demon dragon.

This is a warrior who is willing to sacrifice everything for human civilization.

So you walked up to him, and under his unwavering gaze—a gaze that spoke of facing death without fear and sacrificing himself for his ideals—you took the report from his hands.

You turned to the first page and signed your name.

【Lin! Xia!】

Afterwards, you placed the report in the other party's hands and, accompanied by Elder Jian, headed towards the headquarters of the Red Heart Society.

[Sign along the way.]

Every member of the Red Heart Society who received your personal autograph erupted in excited cheers.

The moment you entered the headquarters of the Red Heart Society, everyone stopped and bowed respectfully in your direction.

The next moment, the slogan "May our loyalty prevail forever" resounded throughout the heavens and the earth.

Weiss stood there, stunned, staring at the report in his hands, his eyes filled with disbelief.

[Your comments are also on the first page of the report.]

As the founder of the Red Heart Society, how could you not recognize the handwriting you yourself wrote in your approval?

Most importantly, wasn't the person standing next to you just now the world-renowned Sword Master?

[A legendary professional at level 95!]

The strongest being standing at the pinnacle of human civilization!

Such a powerful individual could be killed with a single thought.

Therefore, you definitely didn't fail to notice him, or you were wary of his pitiful eighth-level strength.

For a fleeting moment, he had even mentally prepared himself to die a heroic death if discovered.

As a thief, he was already prepared to die when he arrived at the Red Heart Society headquarters.

But your composure took him by surprise.

[As the founder of the Red Heart Society, a world superpower, why are you so tolerant of him?]

Is this the key reason why you were able to establish the Red Heart Society and win everyone's adoration?

Amidst the fervent praise and cheers of the surrounding Red Heart Society members, Weiss's thoughts began to slowly change.

He's not stupid; he somehow guessed what you were thinking.

Take it!

Since you've come with a mission, take a good look at the Red Heart Society's vision and magnanimity.

In this era of invasion by the Abyss, human civilization hangs in the balance.

Therefore, if needed, the Red Heart Society can provide assistance.

Next time, please come openly and honestly, instead of sneaking around.

Weiss's emotions were churning like a raging storm.

His gaze, after falling upon the enormous Red Heart Society emblem in the sky, began to slowly change.

As his thoughts shifted, his right hand involuntarily followed the path of the crowd in front of him, slowly rising to perform a standard hand salute.

【red! Heart--】

We absolutely must win every time!

Giants of human civilization, bastions before humanity's destruction, you must stop the invasion of the abyssal tide.

In July of the 136th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Demon Research Department of the Red Heart Society, after extensive calculations, developed a potion specifically designed for Lava Demons.

To show your respect for the lava demon, you named it the Lava Potion.

[Calculations show that using the corpses and souls of demons of the same rank to create lava potions is 70% more efficient than directly consuming lava demons.]

This news immediately piqued the interest of the Lava Demon.

[In the same month, the abyssal swarm in the eastern part of the Red Heart Society emitted a deafening chirping sound.]

Immediately afterwards, a massive pillar of abyssal light tore through space and descended upon the swarm of abyssal insects.
