Chapter 168 Abyss Professionals Appear in the World (5k)

The people of Sunset wanted to resist, but under the terrifying suppression of the people of Loyal Heart, they had absolutely no room for resistance.

[Ultimately, with the sudden outburst of pure and sincere will, it devoured them all!]

At the same time, people around the world experiencing sunset felt shortness of breath, overwhelmed by a deep-seated anguish.

The next moment, they all collapsed to the ground, dying instantly.

From that moment on, the Sunset Empire vanished completely from the world, leaving no trace other than records from other countries.

[Under normal circumstances, the immense force exerted by the will within you would cause certain changes within the territory of the Red Heart Society.]

For example, there might be an epidemic, or other natural disasters such as earthquakes, mudslides, or tsunamis.

However, after absorbing the Sunset Man's Will, no such calamity occurred within the Red Heart Society's territory.

[Even within the Red Heart Society, things were going smoothly, and production capacity was pushed to its limits.]

[So much so that the researchers in the Red Heart Research Department experienced a burst of inspiration and found themselves with an excellent appetite.]

You looked at the relevant report in your hand, a glint of excitement flashing in your eyes.

[So, the will within you can devour the will of other empires to strengthen yourself!]

【That’s it! 】

Then you can act without any scruples!

[Therefore, you directly ordered a temporary halt to the expansion and development within the Abyss Battlefield, and mobilized all the military forces of the Red Heart Society to advance with full force around the Red Heart Society.]

Today is the day to let the glory of a sincere heart shine throughout the world!

Professionals worldwide should, under the guidance of the Red Heart Society, reclaim their own happy lives.

In September of the 128th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Peacock Empire obtained the formula for the Super Enhancer from the Winter Empire.

[Through various bizarre experiments conducted by the Peacock Empire's royal family, they surprisingly discovered that compressing abyssal demonic energy into liquid magic crystals and incorporating it, combined with the heart essence of an abyssal lord of the same level, would double the effectiveness of the super enhancer.]

[After taking it, you will experience a slight amount of both physical and spiritual pain. During this period of suffering, your body and soul may also experience minor signs of collapse.]

However, once the Peacock Soldiers endure the painful transformation, their class stats will change.

[In the "Profession" category, the word "Abyss" has been added as a prefix.]

A host of abyss classes, including abyss warriors, abyss mages, abyss assassins, and abyss priests, have appeared in this world as part of the Peacock Empire's experiments.

These abyss professionals not only possess stronger physiques and souls, but they can also refine and absorb the experience needed for leveling up by consuming divinely bestowed crystals.

This speed is more than ten times faster than before.

Most importantly, Abyss Classes can gain massive amounts of experience by fighting each other or killing other non-Abyss Classes to increase their Class Level.

[After leveling up, you can further advance your Abyss class by continuously injecting super enhancers and consuming the hearts of high-level Abyss Lords.]

[The only drawback is that they are prone to losing their minds and going mad, becoming indiscriminate in killing anyone they encounter.]

There's one more minor issue: Abyss warriors instinctively feel a sense of closeness when they see an Abyss Lord.

Even though they had become Abyss professionals, the Peacock Soldiers still knew in their hearts that they were Peacocks, and that they were mortal enemies with the Abyss monsters.

Therefore, their rationality completely overrides any slight attraction they might feel.

Researchers in the Mauryan Empire highlighted this issue in red and reported it, listing this flaw as a potential major future development.

But the Peacock Empire of today has long since reached a point where almost anything is possible.

The threat posed by the Red Heart Society is like a thorn in our side. If they don't change and strengthen their domestic military capabilities, the next fall won't be to northern Peacock, but to the entire Peacock capital.

[If the Peacock Emperor could relocate once, how could he possibly relocate a second time?]

From a new imperial capital to a second new imperial capital?

Will the Red Heart Society give them this chance again?

In a short time, in order to quickly improve its military strength, the Peacock Empire launched a brutal, infighting campaign, akin to the alchemy of poisons, within its new capital.

Normally speaking, the capital city, being the economic and cultural center of a country and the seat of its government, is arguably the most stable, harmonious, and rapidly developing place.

But something outrageous happened again in the Peacock Kingdom.

[In the heart of the new imperial capital, a series of massacres have occurred.]

[Soldiers of their own country attacking their own citizens, even raping, murdering, torturing, and cannibalizing them.]

Various acts of brutality occurred directly in this place that should have been the most harmonious.

[In the same month, the Winter Empire obtained experimental data on Abyss Classes from the Peacock Empire.]

Although the Peacock Empire is usually unreliable and full of wild ideas, when it comes to life and death, especially a devastating blow like the Red Heart Society's, which strikes at the level of faith and culture, their enthusiasm is completely mobilized.

The Peacock Empire engages in equal exchanges with the Winter Empire.

[Meanwhile, other nations, including the Western Kingdom Military Alliance of the Red Heart Society, the Olay Alliance formed by various countries of the Western Continent, and even the White Eagle Empire and the Ocean Continent, have all received feedback on the Peacock Empire's experimental achievements.]

[Although the Mauryan Empire acted very cautiously this time, even communicating with only the absolute highest levels of each country on this matter.]

High-ranking officials in other countries were aware of the Red Heart Society's power and could also see the absolute malice it harbored towards them.

Therefore, if they can communicate face-to-face, they won't say a single extra word over the communicator.

If information can be written down and shown to the other party, it won't need to be transmitted online.

After all, in the extraordinary world, various teleportation arrays have now developed to a considerable degree.

[As long as the high-ranking officials of both countries don't mind and maintain a very friendly attitude, then this teleportation array can certainly be established within their respective capital cities.]

[Especially knowing that the Red Heart intelligence agency is ubiquitous and has no internet access, the methods of communication between countries have directly shifted from ultra-modern communication to the most archaic form of direct communication.]

However, this problem still encountered an unexpected situation on the Western Continent.

The Kingdom of Pula is experiencing intense internal conflict due to its previous defeats in several wars.

[Under these circumstances, after several unsuccessful attempts, the authorities simply gave up.]

The world is already in such a bad state, even if this so-called intelligence leak exists, where could it possibly reach?

Therefore, when discussing issues related to Abyss professionals, they created a holographic projection group chat online and communicated there.

The Red Heart II's revolutionary offensive capabilities and massive computing power already give it the ability to oversee the entire global network system.

[So, as soon as the conversation started in the Kingdom of Pula, the second generation of the Crimson Heart had already been sending you a steady stream of information about Abyss Classes.]

[You looked at these intelligence reports, veins bulging on your brow.]

[Abyss Class!]

Why are there more and more things related to the Abyss being banned despite the bans?

Could it be that the will of the abyss has been influencing and observing this world for a very long time?

However, after learning about this, Lin Xue proposed a different approach.

[The Abyss Pro's ability to forcibly refine divinely bestowed crystals is quite impressive!]

If this advantage could be combined, it might be possible to achieve a second sublimation of the Red Heart Crystal.

However, how to eliminate these shortcomings is a huge problem.

Deng Qi and the former principal also largely agreed with this.

[The primary goal should be to enhance the Red Heart Society's combat strength.]

The former principal even offered opposing views on the relevant strategies for global cooperation.

The Red Heart Society's attempt to unite the world's forces to resist the abyss may have been flawed from the start.

[Normal, benevolent alliance strategies are not suitable for this world.]

Therefore, the Red Heart Society will use the purest violence and the most ferocious military force to force other countries in the world to make changes and conduct more cutting-edge research in a life-or-death crisis.

[No changes!]

[Just die!]

No change!

[They will perish!]

[If we don't research cutting-edge technology to resist, then we'll turn to ashes and disappear from this world completely.]

Looking across the vast river of history, human technological progress has been most rapid only during periods of war.

[Especially in military technology, the progress during peacetime is far less than that during wartime.]

[At the end of a war, when a country or military alliance sees the tide of defeat and makes a desperate stand, it can lead to a leap forward in military technology within a certain period of time!]

Just as professionals seek out major crises and opportunities in life-or-death battles, a nation or a powerful force can also seize opportunities in the face of life-or-death situations!

Therefore, with the Red Heart Society acting as an external force pushing them forward, other countries around the world might unleash their combined power and give the Red Heart Society a big surprise.

You listened to the old headmaster's advice and fell into deep thought.

From the encounters in the previous timelines, you can see that the more Chi Xin tries to prevent the Abyss's projected will from descending, the faster and more violently that projected will descends.

Conversely, in the initial timelines when the Crimson Heart Chapter was first established, or when the Crimson Heart Society was just beginning to develop, the Abyss's projected will descended very slowly. This might indeed be worth trying.

[You also want to see just how much power these so-called Abyss Professionals can unleash?]

Can the Red Heart Society learn more from the Abyss Professionals?

If the Crimson Heart Crystal can become even more perfect, allowing the Crimson Heart Warriors to unleash even greater power and achieve faster advancement in the future, then this trial will have been entirely worthwhile.

[Although according to relevant intelligence, this was developed by researchers from the Mauryan Empire.]

But you have a different opinion on this!

[The United States and the White Eagle Empire had so many extraordinary researchers who couldn't figure this out, yet the Peacock Empire, that unreliable bunch, managed to research it?]

[You would never believe this without the intervention of the Abyss's projected will!]

However, regarding these empires, do you think they deserve to be fought and destroyed?

How can we ensure they progress through the tech tree without instilling a strong sense of impending doom in them?

In November of the 128th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Winter Capital was breached by the Crimson Heart Society.

Just before their fall, the Winter Royal Family, along with all their elite troops and researchers, escaped to the distant ocean continent via a teleportation array.

The capital city has fallen!

The defenses of the other provinces go without saying!

In December of the 128th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Crimson Heart Society conquered the entire territory of the Winter Empire.

[Then, a massive purge of all noble families within the Frosty Winter Empire, under the watchful eyes of the world, began in earnest!]

[In an instant, crowds surged forth!]

Anyone who has committed a sin here will be judged by the Red Heart Society.

[Those brainwashed low-level professionals in the Winter Empire will be arrested by the Red Heart Army for any illegal activities.]

Compared to these factors, the hostility of most Winterlings began to dissipate under the various policy contacts implemented by the Red Heart Society.

After all, the Red Heart Society, after capturing this place, neither massacred them nor failed to provide them with good jobs and living supplies.

Most importantly, the Red Heart Society actually awakened their classes for free.

This treatment is far better than what their emperor receives!

Thus, the Winter People, as a brand-new race, joined the Red Heart Society at an extremely rapid pace, with the help of various supportive policies.

However, the Red Heart Society's actions of first slaughtering the Sunset Empire and then destroying the Winter Empire caused unparalleled panic throughout the world.

These massacres spread throughout the world, and without even the nobles of other countries needing to guide public opinion, the inhabitants of those other countries naturally came to imagine the Red Heart Society as unparalleled demons.

[Eating human flesh!]

[Devouring souls!]

As for the policy of Chixin Hui standing up for the underprivileged?

[Through the imaginations of people at the grassroots level in various countries, these policies have long been linked to the temptations of evil.]

【It's all fake!】

It's all a hoax!

How could a demonic, murderous organization possess such noble ideals?

Isn't this a logical contradiction?

While the world was gripped by fear and unease, the United States stepped forward, declaring that the distant continent, located beyond the main continent, possessed fertile land and unparalleled resources.

Most importantly, the United States possesses an incomparably powerful army, sufficient to withstand the army of the evil Red Heart Society.

Therefore, all nobles and political figures who fear being caught in the crossfire of future wars and being slaughtered can bring everything they own to the United States for refuge.

Of course, you can apply to transfer your assets first, and you don't have to come over immediately.

[After all, the Red Heart Society hasn't attacked yet, has they?]

[Once the teleportation array is completed, coming here whenever you want is just a matter of a moment, isn't it?]

[But in a place unimaginable to any nation, an envoy from the United States arrived at the headquarters of the Red Heart Society, carrying a vast amount of extraordinary resources.]

They came only to secure a deal with the Red Heart Society.

First, the United States is located on a distant continent, far from the mainland, separated by a vast ocean.

Therefore, from a geographical perspective, there is absolutely no conflict between the two sides.

Secondly, the Red Heart Society would kill any noble families from other countries they encountered; they had no intention of keeping them.

[If that's the case, why not send them to the United States?]

The United States is quite envious of these high-level professionals and talents in all fields, including scientific research and medicine.

【Finally, and most importantly. 】

The United States has shown tremendous sincerity this time, practically bringing half of its national treasury.

It's not that they're cowards; it's just that the military power displayed by the Red Heart Society is far too overwhelming.

[And this time, they're once again using the Red Heart Society's name to promote themselves around the world.]

Therefore, they must be adept at navigating interpersonal relationships and social interactions.

[If we can lure all the noble families from other countries around the world to our country, then we can harvest them however we want, right?]

[Leaving aside other factors, the Winter Empire's royal family alone made them incredibly wealthy.]

[As a member of the royal family, shouldn't you offer some tribute to the local people after you arrive?]

If you don't make offerings, do you still want to be part of the group?

Don't want to fit in?

"Then what did you come here for?"

Are you looking for a beating?

Seeing the overwhelming sincerity emanating from the distant continent, you nodded slightly and agreed to the deal.

The most important reason is that you want to drive all these enemies of the Red Heart Society into one country, gather them together, and see how powerful their fighting force can be.

To be honest, with the achievements of several timelines already in hand, how could these aristocratic families possibly turn the world upside down by joining forces?

[One ultimate military weapon will teach them a lesson!]

After the envoy from afar finished offering sacrifices to the Red Heart Society, he left with a face full of excitement, eager to relay this excellent news back home.

Now it's their turn to shine.

In January of the 129th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, amidst the various public opinion campaigns erupting throughout the United States, many nations, including the noble families of the White Eagle Empire, were tempted.

[Most importantly, the Red Heart Society didn't put up any resistance to the United States' humiliating attacks?]

The greatest resistance came from the Red Heart Society, which held a meeting regarding the protest.

[The Red Heart Society, these violent thugs, are actually protesting?]

[Given what they've done recently, if the United States weren't powerful enough, how could they have just issued a protest?]

Therefore, this distant continent quickly became the last refuge chosen by noble families from all over the world.

[A frenzy of asset transfers began immediately.]

[With kings and other ruling classes in various countries leading the way, the speed of wealth transfer between countries around the world has exceeded all expectations.]

There was no way around it; the Chixin Society was all too aware of its blatant and malicious suppression of aristocratic families.

[As a neighbor, the White Eagle Empire has an even more direct experience of this.]

Now, the Red Heart Society has finished dealing with the Eastern Territory, then the Southern Territory, and even the Peacock Empire, outside the Highland Province, has been reduced to half a country.

[So, shouldn't we now free up resources to deal with the Northern Frontier?]

[I dare not think about this; the more I think about it, the more it seems to be true.]

Even though the White Eagle Emperor repeatedly obstructed the attack, expressing his sincere belief in the deep friendship and cooperation between Chixin and the White Eagle Empire and stating that he would not attack the White Eagle Empire.

But these nobles of the White Eagle Empire didn't believe it at all!

Left with no other choice, the White Eagle Emperor summoned his personal guard and launched a bloody purge that shocked the world!

In this near-frenzied massacre and sweep, a large number of members of royal families perished.

Even the Crown Prince of the White Eagle Empire, the primary figure in this spontaneous transfer of assets, died in this almost absurd act.

The White Eagle Emperor looked sadly at his eldest son, whom he had raised with great care.

Why is the Crown Prince of the Empire more proactive in transferring assets than other aristocratic families?

These powerful families, these parasites, are jeopardizing your future interests!
