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

Chapter 148 The Warrior with a Loyal Heart: The Consequences of Physical Collapse and Bloodline Reversal (5k)

【people!】

I respect you!

But you completely disregard my Titan race!

How dare you force me to marry my daughter, Lester's daughter!

【Damn! 】

Don't think that just because my daughter is carrying your child, I won't dare to lay a hand on you.

【I'll kill you, destroy your soul, and destroy the bastard child in my daughter's womb. Once her body is reconstructed, she will once again be pure!】

You listened to the ancient Titan language booming like thunder, your face full of question marks.

[Brother, you believe everything the Abyss's projected will says?]

With such a big head, can't you move it a little?

Am I a good match for your daughter with my small stature?

She even conceived my child.

Can human professionals truly intermarry and conceive with Abyss Titans, and have children?

[Aren't you curious? Given Titan's enormous size, could human professionals' cells survive inside it?]

[I doubt that the bacteria or other biological communities residing within Titan could kill a human professional's cells with a single fart.]

[Such outrageous words, perhaps only the Titan leader would believe them.]

However, now that you've mastered the Titan language, you don't want to let the Abyss's projected will mislead you here.

Therefore, you present arguments, evidence, and reasoning to analyze the impossibility of this event.

[First, let's start with species. Humans and Titans are different species. In particular, the Abyss Titans are corrupted Titans, and their appearance, temperament, and divine features are completely unsuitable for human aesthetics.]

Some people may have a sense of morbid curiosity, but you don't have those fetishes.

Secondly, from a time perspective, you are extremely busy and have absolutely no time for romance, let alone forcibly taking Titan as your wife.

【Finally, and most importantly. 】

[You've hardly been to the Southern Frontier in recent years, and given your itinerary, it's impossible for you to have any connection with the Titan leader's daughter.]

As you speak, you present the Titan leader with the various pieces of evidence you claim to have.

[But the Titan leader seems to have obtained the evidence he wanted and won't listen to your explanation at all, even believing that what you said was a lie.]

You're talking nonsense!!!

With a roar, the Titan leader, wielding a giant axe, charged towards the Red Heart Society's defensive line.

You sighed, speechless at the Titan leader's utter incompetence.

[Is that big a head filled with nothing but tofu dregs?]

However, since they've made a move against you, you naturally have nothing to say.

Your unwillingness to provoke a level 99 Abyss Lord at this stage does not mean you are afraid of them.

[You've poured all your efforts into developing the Red Heart Clan, investing in every tech tree to advance its technological capabilities—wasn't it all to prepare for this day?]

War broke out.

The Red Heart Society's power far exceeded the Titan leader's expectations.

[Especially with the full enhancement of your battle aura domain, and with the full activation of the hidden effects of your battle aura, the power unleashed by the Crimson Heart Battle Group is enough to tear apart the void and shake mountains and rivers.]

Even a level 99 Titan leader is no match for the Redheart Chapter.

[Even because of our last encounter, you know the Titan leader's methods and trump cards.]

[Isn't their most brutal tactic to devour their own kind for power?]

The reason the Abyss Projection Will brought the Titan leader here was ultimately for that Abyss barrier, wasn't it?

Since you know that, there's no way you'd allow these two enemies to continue their schemes.

[Especially the projected will of the abyss, which has many methods, but after experiencing many, you'll find that its methods are only a few.]

[The essence remains the same despite all the variations!]

If you can weather the initial storm, you'll have a bright future ahead!

Therefore, the instant the battle began, you ordered the Demon Sealing Legion to accompany Sword Elder in slaughtering all of the Titan leader's dozen or so kin, giving the Titan leader no chance to devour his own kind.

The Titan leader, witnessing this scene, turned bloodshot, his eyes blazing with fury.

[Damn it!]

You want to marry my daughter!

Then you need to show your sincerity!

By killing my family, you have severed all possibility of marriage between our two families!

[As you listen to what the Second Generation of Red Heart is translating, immediately order him to stop translating.]

Even though you don't want to swear, you still want to say that this old Titan is an idiot.

Putting everything else aside, you've already attacked, and you won't allow us to retaliate?

Of course, perhaps your thought process is too normal to comprehend the unique thought process of the Abyss Titans.

But once you've killed your opponent, you won't bother wasting words with them.

[After killing the other party and their daughter, you, being kind-hearted, decide to give them a chance, allowing their family to have a happy reunion.]

[In February of the 142nd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Red Heart forces, led by the Farah Ideal Kingdom, once again appealed to you for help, stating that high-level Abyss Lords had begun to appear on a large scale within their territory, and they were struggling to withstand the onslaught.]

However, the Red Heart Society is currently facing a precarious situation, with massive surges of demonic energy surging along its three borders: the Eastern Border, the Southern Border, and the Western Border.

Within the Abyss Battlefield, the northern Crimson Heart City bore the brunt of the demonic tide's pressure.

[After being reinforced once again by the projected will of the abyss, the Eastern Abyss Insect Swarm has begun to see large-scale appearances of giant insects.]

These giant insects possess astonishing defensive capabilities, exhibiting exceptional defensive strength even against super-weapons.

[Even with repeated attacks from super military weapons, Redheart will find that the Abyssal Demon Worms' resistance to military weapons also increases significantly.]

At first, a single super weapon could clear a large area, giving the eastern defense line a much-needed respite.

[The area that Super Military has cleared now is two-thirds of what it was before.]

[How long has it been?]

If the abyssal worms are allowed to continue evolving, wouldn't that mean that one day, the super military weapon will become completely ineffective?

[Furthermore, the construction and suppression efforts undertaken by the mainland forces left the Red Heart Society with no spare resources to provide support.]

After careful consideration, Fara's ideal state made a decision that went against the will of its ancestors.

In order to survive, they decided to abandon their homeland.

[First, survive.]

Regarding the strategy of integrating the Fara Ideal State into the Red Heart Society, you stated that you would designate a suitable area for the inhabitants of the Fara Ideal State on the vast ocean continent.

However, since you've joined the Red Heart Society, you should make the unpleasant details clear from the outset.

From this day forward, everyone in Fara's Ideal Kingdom shall obey the direct orders of the Red Heart Society.

If you do not comply!

[According to military law, proceed with the trial directly!]

In March of the 142nd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, with the Ideal State of Farah leading the way, other Ideal States, seeing the situation had reached a critical point, also embarked on this path.

[In a short time, the number of professionals within the Red Heart Society's jurisdiction surged.]

However, the Red Heart Society's absolute control over the people made these idealistic forces feel somewhat uncomfortable.

However, forced by the pressure to survive, they had no choice but to obey.

In May of the 142nd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, with the last few nations annihilated by the Abyss Army, only two nations remain of human civilization.

Although the Red Heart Society bore the brunt of the pressure from the Abyss invasion, the White Eagle Empire's overall combat strength was far inferior to that of the Red Heart Society.

Thus, the border defenses collapsed, and the Abyss army invaded from all sides, creating a dangerous situation that quickly spread throughout the White Eagle Empire.

[In the same month, several hundred members of the Crimson Heart Battle Group advanced to the eighth rank.]

[Once the Crimson Armor is donned, these Crimson Legion squads can leverage the collective strength of the Crimson Legion to achieve greater mobility and lethality in combat.]

In an instant, the Titan leader's injuries multiplied significantly.

In August of the 142nd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, even though the Titan leader used a life-risking secret technique and fought the Crimson Heart Legion with a reckless attitude, he was still no match for them.

In this situation, He can only speak to you in a muffled, incoherent way.

That gesture clearly indicated that He had given in, that He was asking for an end to the fight, and that He approved of your marriage to His daughter.

[But you had already disabled the translation function on Redheart II, so it had no idea what the Titan leader was saying.]

Even if you know, you still don't want to talk to them.

"If you can beat them, you kill them; if you can't, you beg for mercy, right?"

Nothing in this world is that easy.

[In September of the 142nd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Titan leader perished.]

The colossal, mountain-like corpse was sent to the Demon Research Department for study. Upon receiving this news, the Lava Demon rushed over from the southern defense line, stating that after absorbing and refining the lava potion during this period, it felt it was nearing the edge of advancement.

[If we devour this level 99 Titan, He will definitely advance in rank.]

However, the Demon Research Department told Him not to rush. They'd been at level 98 for hundreds of years; what's a little more time?

[Let them investigate; what if there are any new findings?]

The lava demon looked at the researcher at its feet, hesitant to speak.

What He really wanted to say was that He was just a few days away from achieving His goal.

He really wants to improve!

Faced with those who provide for him in every sense of the word, he could only choose to remain silent.

In April of the 143rd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Crimson Heart City was attacked by hundreds of demonic dragons, their terrifying dragon breath blotting out the sun.

In just three days, they destroyed all eighteen outer city defense lines built by the Crimson Heart City.

[After receiving the distress call, you urgently rushed back from the northern defense line of the Abyss Battlefield.]

Three to five demonic dragons are enough to destroy a great nation.

[Now, the Abyss's projected will has directly summoned hundreds of demonic dragons, leaving the Crimson Heart Society with absolutely no way out!]

At the same time, you directly order the Demon Research Department to stop studying the Titan leader's corpse.

[Quickly let the lava demon devour this corpse!]

The Red Heart Society urgently needs a level 99 super-powerful lord.

[Even though you know that if the Demon Research Department continues its research, it may produce scientific achievements with extremely high development potential.]

If we can't even hold on now, then there's no point in talking about the future.

When you led the Crimson Heart Legion to the Crimson Heart City, you found this once-mighty city already scarred and battered.

Without any hesitation, you immediately began attacking these abyssal dragons.

Soon, something surprising happened.

These hundreds of abyssal dragons seemed to possess a life-sharing ability. Even though the Crimson Heart Legion attacked a level 97 abyssal dragon with all their might, trying to slowly kill it, the level 97 abyssal dragon stubbornly withstood the attack.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the other party's injuries were remarkably minor.

This level of defense is simply not something a level 97 Abyss Lord should possess!

Needless to say, it must be the Abyss's projected will that's using cheats.

[In May of the 143rd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Lava Demon advanced to level 99.]

The arrival of the Lava Demons temporarily stabilized the defenses of Crimson Heart City.

[Although among these hundreds of abyssal dragons, the truly threatening ones are the group of level 98 abyssal dragons and the level 99 dragon leader.]

However, when the number of Abyssal Dragons reached a certain level, it still caused the Crimson Heart Legion a great deal of trouble.

Just as a large number of loyalist warriors can defeat fewer enemies and stronger opponents.

Once the horde of abyssal dragons arrives, they will also be able to leverage their numerical advantage, posing a significant defensive challenge to the Crimson Heart City.

Fortunately, all of this is still within the Red Heart Society's defensive perimeter.

In September of the 143rd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, during a joint deduction process, the Abyss Demon Research and Development Department and the Cultivation Technique Department accidentally developed a novel product.

This new product is unsuitable for demons, but it is suitable for human professionals.

[After consuming this product, human professionals who practice specific cultivation methods will experience a significant increase in their physical and spiritual abilities.]

[Even in the unseen realm, one can acquire a new passive skill based on their own professional talent.]

This passive skill does not occupy a skill slot, nor does it burden the soul in any way. Furthermore, it can develop new skills tailored to the user's class.

The only drawback is that after consuming this new product, human professionals will grow larger and develop a pair of red demon horns on their heads.

This news caused quite a stir among the top leaders of the Red Heart Society.

Some argue that this is tantamount to turning people into demons.

If one were to actually do that, what difference would it make from surrendering to the abyss?

However, some argue that as long as this power is for protecting the Red Heart Society, then appearance, bloodline, voice, and all other external aspects can be disregarded.

The first priority is to ensure that the Red Heart Society survives the Abyss invasion!

If you can't even survive, then discussing anything else seems pointless.

They are willing to be the first to try, even if others are unwilling to do so!

[The representative figure of these radical experimenters was Deng Qi.]

Having acquired memories of the previous timeline, he witnessed the demise of the Red Heart Society, the sacrifice of countless comrades, and personally experienced the feeling of despair and helplessness.

Therefore, given the opportunity, he is willing to personally take the lead and try.

[If the level 99 Titan leader has arrived, then other level 99 super-powerful lords won't be far behind.]

[When a dozen, even dozens, of super-powerful lords descend.]

When the land is shattered, when the tragedy of national ruin and family destruction unfolds before our eyes, let's hope these conservatives still find it unacceptable that someone has two horns on their head.

After witnessing firsthand how a member of the Demon Sealing Battle Group experienced a doubling of their overall combat power after consuming the new product, you named this new product: Crimson Heart Crystal.

[All members who consume the Crimson Heart Crystal will be given the title "Crimson Heart" in their place of profession.]

【this!】

[This is the honor you bestowed upon these warriors who were willing to dedicate themselves and sacrifice for the Loyal Heart Society.]

[From this point forward, the allowances for the families of any dedicated professional with a special title will be increased by two levels.]

[In October of the 143rd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the first batch of experimental personnel using the Crimson Heart Crystal were selected, consisting of 10 Crimson Heart soldiers.]

Despite numerous attempts by the research institute, the Crimson Heart Crystal will not have any backlash in the short term.

However, everyone's physical condition is different, so as long as the scale is expanded, problems will inevitably arise in the process.

Therefore, the Red Heart Battle Group and the Demon Sealing Battle Group, the two strongest forces supporting the Red Heart Society's current situation, cannot be touched.

Even as a mid-to-high-level core force, the Guardian Corps cannot afford large-scale losses.

From a brutal perspective, perhaps only the Red Heart Army could select hundreds of thousands of people for this experiment.

[However, in this trial, Deng Qi took the lead in consuming the Crimson Heart Crystal.]

He wanted to clearly tell those loyal soldiers that they shouldn't be afraid; this wasn't just an experiment that disregarded their lives.

[In the same month, 300,000 soldiers who had consumed Crimson Heart Crystals, led by Deng Qi, were directly airdropped into the Lava Demon's servant army.]

These soldiers, loyal to you, thrived within the mercenary army due to the abyssal demonic aura they carried.

Therefore, they are the most suitable as the core force of the middle and upper management to control this massive auxiliary army.

[In December of the 143rd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, during this period, the 12 loyal soldiers of the Red Heart Army, bearing the name of glory, performed exceptionally well in battle.]

They were even surprised to find that their efficiency in absorbing and refining the divinely bestowed crystals had greatly increased.

As expected, an unexpected event occurred.

[Within two months, 2458 soldiers of the Red Heart Army experienced physical mutations, with their souls exhibiting extremely strong rejection reactions from their bodies.]

[With the side effects of their physical bodies collapsing and their bloodlines flowing backward, they suffered greatly every day.]

Upon learning of this incident, the Red Heart Research Institute immediately collected relevant data and various blood samples.

They assured that they would develop a solution in the shortest possible time.

But the soldiers are human, not gods.

Under this torment that strikes at the very depths of their souls, their will was worn down.

Just when they could no longer withstand the onslaught, they collectively volunteered to Deng Qi, carrying the most powerful super-energy annihilation bombs, to launch a final assault on the inferior demon leader positioned behind enemy lines.

[Using their own flesh and blood as the final ammunition, their unwavering loyalty will be undiminished as they fire upon the enemy.]

【General! 】

We really, really, are about to break.

[The collapse of my physical body and the reverse flow of my blood are too painful!]

This is a hundred times more painful than stabbing yourself in the head with a steel needle every day!

【real! 】

Every day we live in this world is a tremendous torment for us.

Since we're all going to die eventually, why not let us die with honor?

If our deaths can save the lives of our brothers, then it will be very meaningful for us.

Looking at the soldiers who were collectively begging him to die for them, Deng Qi felt a mix of emotions.

The next moment, he slowly turned around.

Go!

If the opportunity arises in the future, I hope we can fight side by side again!
