Chapter 172 The Hellish Will That Loves to Steal Food (5k)

When the Red Heart Society's army entered the White Eagle Empire, the Abyss Professions who had been wreaking havoc on the empire seemed to have received prior warning, and they all went into hiding, disappearing without a trace.

[At night, Deng Qi was handling various matters alone in the Red Heart Army's central camp when he suddenly felt a flash in front of him.]

A stunningly beautiful woman appeared before him, her alluring eyes captivating, her sensual gaze irresistible, even the devilish horns on her head exuding sensuality, and her swaying tail was enough to mesmerize anyone who saw her.

Anyone familiar with Abyss Demons would immediately recognize this scene as a succubus.

[However, in a previous timeline, thanks to the Lava Demon, Deng Qi had gained a deep understanding of the succubus's physical structure in order to alleviate his depression, and was intimately familiar with all the succubus subgroups.]

He had even tried many of the succubus queen's various seductive techniques.

It's fair to say that I've long since become immune to these psychological manipulations that exploit the basic human desire for reproduction.

Having seen and experienced so much, desensitization becomes a very normal process.

Therefore, he could tell at a glance that the woman in front of him was not a succubus.

[Don't be fooled by the convincing disguise and similar outward appearance; this kind of seductive technique is completely different from that of a succubus.]

[Neither a human professional nor a demon, yet forced to pretend to be one.]

[What kind of monsters did this timeline attract after the birth of the Abyss Class?]

The woman looked at Deng Qi and spoke in a seductive tone, even beginning to undress. Her translucent clothes revealed her naked body in full detail.

[As soon as Deng Qi speaks, she can immediately demonstrate her skills.]

However, Deng Qi was in no mood to deal with the other party. As for the purpose of their visit, once he caught them, there were plenty of ways to find out.

However, this woman seemed to possess extremely powerful spatial teleportation abilities, managing to escape despite being surrounded by high-level professionals.

During this process, the spatial containment measures specifically deployed by the Red Heart Army seemed to have lost their effectiveness.

When this matter reached the headquarters of the Red Heart Society, it immediately caught your attention.

[A non-demon creature disguised as a succubus!]

[The ability to break through spatial barriers!]

[Powerful spatial teleportation technology!]

When these pieces of information came together, the old headmaster, based on his own judgment of the abyssal demon race, concluded that these were not demonic creatures.

[Most likely, from another world.]

After all, he had studied information and historical materials related to various demon races within the Abyss in order to help the Demon Research Department.

During this process, he also took the opportunity to study information from other worlds.

Within the abyss, rare demon races such as Star Demons and Moon Demons, skilled in numerous methods, also have a habit of disguising themselves.

However, they are inherently proud and have a fondness for beauty.

[It might disguise itself as a combat-type demon: a dark demon, or as a handsome demon: a cloud demon, but it will never disguise itself as an entertainment demon to be played with.]

This is a disgrace!

Even if a demon disguised himself as a succubus for a living, he would never publicize such a dark past after gaining fame.

Only in other worlds, such as the demons of hell, who, due to their weaker combat power, can they only resort to deception to profit from danger, and therefore are more inclined to engage in this kind of deceptive business.

Using one's looks to please others!

Harvesting souls!

This is what self-taught devils love to do.

On the one hand, as long as sales channels are established, there is virtually no risk.

On the other hand, perhaps, while pleasing each other, one can take advantage of the brief moments of emotional connection to use the other to achieve their own strategic goals.

[Doing this kind of work is safe, enjoyable, and allows you to achieve your goals—why not?]

[It's just that you need to be more careful when choosing targets to lure.]

You frowned slightly after learning about this.

[The situation in the abyss hasn't been resolved yet, and now the demons of hell have reappeared?]

Even if it's not a demon, it's still a product of another world.

So, is the emergence of Abyss Professionals related to other worlds?

Why is this world beneath my feet so appealing?

What are the advantages?

[Have you set your sights on that weeping world's will?]

The abyss projects its power, its army devouring the world's energy.

When the Crimson Heart Society conquered so much territory through the Abyss Battlefield, why couldn't the World Will extend its reach there and absorb some of the Abyss's essence to replenish itself?

Or is it that the abyss is too large to be swallowed?

According to records regarding the Abyss, Hell's combat strength is far inferior to that of the Abyss itself.

[Especially the devils, who can only follow behind the abyss, picking up scraps to fill their bellies.]

If the demons also set their sights on this world and invade, could the world's will lend a hand and absorb some of its essence to nourish itself during the Red Heart Society's counterattack on Hell?

[Throughout the universe, a vast force of humanity sensed your thoughts and your frustration at others' lack of progress, and transmitted your will to some unknowable realm.]

The Red Heart Society now controls almost half of the landmass of this world.

The vast majority of extraordinary professionals are also with the Red Heart Society.

Although there are also extremely brilliant civilizations on the distant continent, especially during the period of the Red Heart Society's conquest, almost all the noble families on the main continent began to frantically transfer their assets.

Highly skilled and specialized talents are flocking there, risking their lives.

Even so, the distant continent is still not as powerful as the Red Heart Society.

After all, under the direct control system of the Red Heart Society, which concentrates resources on major undertakings, the development progress of the Abyss Battlefield far surpasses that of the Ocean Continent.

In other words, you are now almost at the point where my will is destiny.

Even the will of the world must yield to your will!

Therefore, your thoughts, through human will, begin to continuously influence the course of the entire world.

In December of the 133rd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, while helping the Crimson Heart Army clear out the Abyss Professions within the White Eagle Empire, the old general encountered a woman who had captivated Deng Qi.

The old soldier easily apprehended the woman.

The woman's terrifying spatial teleportation technique was utterly ineffective against the military elder clad in super armor.

At the headquarters of the Red Heart Society, a group of high-ranking members visited the woman disguised as a succubus.

At first, the woman claimed to be the young lord of the succubus clan.

[I came here seeking a strong person to rely on.]

Because she lost in the tribal struggle and was subsequently driven out of her tribe, she had no choice but to flee to this world.

No one present believed such nonsense.

Putting everything else aside, since this woman appeared in previous timelines and exhibited various succubus characteristics, there's still some degree of trust in her.

Now that the Red Heart Society has received gifts from time and space and has grown to this scale, if it were to reappear, wouldn't the situation be quite obvious?

So, Lin Xue began to resort to underhanded tactics.

The woman outwardly feigned fear, but inwardly she still looked down on Lin Xue's methods of torture.

Are mere humans really more adept at tormenting souls than she is?

[But when Lin Xue took out the Nine Netherworld Fire, the Bone-Piercing Nails, and the demonic torture tools to provide a one-way service, and then produced the Soul Repair Potion, the woman was completely dumbfounded.]

【what? 】

[After torturing a soul, do humans then go and repair it?]

【so good?】

However, after experiencing the process twenty-eight times in one day, she shut her mouth and never said those things again.

[Through the calculations of the three generations of the Chixin lineage, the woman's soul strength was precisely measured, so each instance of soul torture could be administered with just the right amount of pain—enough to cause her unbearable agony without causing her soul to collapse and die.]

To ensure the recipient experienced the unique qualities of sincerity, Lin Xue even added ingredients that stretched and stung the soul to the healing potion.

Of course, she wasn't a truly evil person either.

Occasional relaxation is still necessary for the other person.

After all, if the torment of a suffering soul is constantly maintained, the other person will gradually become numb and get used to the pain.

Only in moments of occasional comfort, or even a fleeting moment of spiritual clarity, through extreme contrast and disparity, can one truly experience the agony of future spiritual torment.

Faced with this combination of grueling labor and advanced technology, the woman's eyes glazed over, and she finally succumbed.

She declared, "I'm not a master at tormenting souls; you are!"

You are worse than the devils themselves!

[Upon her revelation, the Crimson Heart Society quickly received a message that the will of the Hell World had descended.] [Not long after the appearance of the Abyss Professions, the will of the Hell World took notice of this world, which the Abyss considered a target for conquest.]

Of course, even if the will of Hell were to come, it wouldn't dare to appear openly.

After all, His consistent practice has been that the Abyss eats the meat, while He drinks the soup.

Ideally, one should sneak a couple of sips of soup and run away before the Will of the Abyss notices.

Therefore, at the behest of the will of hell, these demons descended here silently and without anyone noticing.

The woman became somewhat distraught when this topic was brought up.

[Among the demons that have descended this time, she is the strongest.]

Therefore, she directly chose the main continent with the largest population and the highest quality of inhabitants.

Her companions, however, chose the less desirable option: the distant ocean continent.

[To her utter surprise, after arriving here, she found herself living a life of irregular eating habits, sometimes going hungry and sometimes full.]

[The Red Heart Society; she once attempted to cross the border, and nearly got shot down by a large military matrix.]

Even within the White Eagle Empire, there exists a special army dedicated to hunting down non-human beings like her.

Therefore, she could only take advantage of the chaos and the growth of the Abyss Class to emerge and make some moves.

Lin Xue listened to the woman's introduction and nodded slightly.

[After thoroughly organizing it, the Soul Memory Extraction Machine, the latest product developed by the Red Heart Research Institute, will be used.]

This machine operates on the principle of relaxing the soul, eliminating the violent method of soul searching and fundamentally solving the problem of destroying the enemy's soul.

The woman stared in terror at the horrifying machine riddled with tubes.

She shouted loudly, indicating that she had already said everything.

Why treat her like this?

Isn't the Red Heart Society's mission to support those from humble backgrounds?

She's in hell, at the very bottom of society, why can't we speak up for her?

She strongly agrees with all the principles of the Red Heart Society!

Therefore, she wanted to become a core member of the Red Heart Society, which is why she wanted to find Deng Qi.

[In response to the woman's words, Lin Xue waved her hand and immediately began a memory search.]

[The devil's words!]

Don't believe a single word of it!

After all, deception is ingrained in their very nature.

[In February of the 134th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, you gaze solemnly at the complete Demonic Memories in your hand.]

Most of what that devil said was true.

There were only a few subtle details where she didn't tell the truth.

Firstly, she wasn't the only demon to descend upon the main continent; there were a large number of them.

Secondly, they didn't come from Hell in a single direction. Deep within a mountain range within the White Eagle Empire, there's a teleportation array leading to Hell.

Thirdly, this woman is a descendant of a devilish baron.

Those who hold titles in Hell are invariably powerful demons, some even capable of communicating with the will of Hell by constructing altars.

Although the demonic bloodline within the other party is quite diluted, they are still not from the so-called lowest level of hell.

After all, the Great Demon's strength is similar to that of a supreme lord in the abyss.

Each one possesses the power of a demigod.

Fourthly, Hell is currently in a state of total war and is in great chaos.

Fifthly, and most importantly.

The relationship between Hell and the Abyss is not the same as the relationship between a senior and junior brother as described in the ancient texts of the Abyss.

Hell is born from the abyss, and in turn, draws sustenance from the abyss.

[It is precisely because of Hell's stealthy actions that the Abyss's will resorted to methods like Projected Will to invade the world.]

[The projected will is, after all, merely a projection of the true power of the abyss.]

Therefore, the invasion of the world will not generate massive abyssal fluctuations, nor will it be detected by Hell.

[Normally, that's how it is.]

[This time, however, the projected will of the Abyss seemed to encounter some unexpected problems. Hell had only managed to catch a faint, almost imperceptible trace of the Abyss's aura after some investigation before discovering this fertile world.]

[By reading this detailed report, you have gained a complete understanding of the ins and outs of this matter.]

[It turns out the Abyss's projected will was to prevent Hell from stealing its food.]

[That so-called accident, the devils don't know, but you know all too well the reason.]

[In May of the 134th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, you assembled a powerful warband among the thirty-eight Demon-Sealing Warbands, ready to conquer Hell.]

You're having trouble choosing a team leader.

It's not that no one goes, but rather that there are too many level-nine professionals eager to explore the depths of hell.

Both Elder Jun and Elder Jian wanted to go there.

Upon hearing of this, other ninth-tier professionals also submitted petitions, expressing their willingness to act as pioneers.

After careful consideration, you ultimately chose the veteran.

[After all, Elder Jun's words made sense; he was the strongest, and in terms of comprehending the soul, he had reached a bottleneck from which he could not break through.]

In other words, he felt he had no potential for further development.

So, perhaps a trip to Hell might lead to some breakthroughs.

[In the same month, you led the Crimson Heart Battle Group, and with the enhancement of your Battle Qi Domain, you crushed the demons surrounding the Hell Teleportation Array at lightning speed.]

[Then, the Hell Survey Team, giving the demons inside no time to react, stormed in at top speed.]

[In accordance with the Red Heart Society's consistent expansionist agreements, a communication talisman was sent out.]

On this side of the teleportation array lies a colossal hellish city, teeming with hordes of ninth-rank demons.

However, everything is still under control. The strongest of these Nine-Turn Demons is only level 94, and under Elder Jun's leadership, they face no pressure whatsoever.

In August of the 134th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Hell Survey Team continuously delivered various extraordinary mineral veins, hellish veins, and cultivation techniques—all unique to Hell.

[The Red Heart Society Research Institute, seeing all these eye-catching novelties, felt their inspiration surge.]

According to the survey team's response, aside from the initial arrival of demons to provide support, people in Hell gradually stopped paying attention to them.

Especially after they completely occupied the giant city and brought the surrounding two hundred kilometers under their control, no more demons came.

Even when encountering demons outside, they would treat them with deference.

Although they didn't know what had happened, overall, it was a good thing for the Red Heart Society's exploration of Hell.

This situation has alerted you and Lin Xue.

【Something's wrong! 】

Something's very, very wrong!

[How could the Will of Hell, a world will born from the abyss yet far more cunning than the abyss itself, possibly engage in such a thankless task?]

[Proactively yielding to intruders?]

【How can it be? 】

No world order can tolerate the arrival of invaders.

Even the mighty and powerful will of the abyss will involuntarily target any creature that falls into its clutches.

Is the hellish will that produces demons trying something different?

Or is it that the other party wants to use this gesture of goodwill to form an alliance with the Red Heart Society to fight the Abyss together?

When Lin Xue proposed this idea, you immediately rejected it.

【Lin Xue!】

Although Chixin will be very strong, we shouldn't be too arrogant!

In this world, the Red Heart Society is indeed undoubtedly the number one.

But in the abyss, in the vast and magnificent world of hell, what does the Red Heart Society amount to?

[Now, I'm afraid even a single great demon could wipe out the Red Heart Society, right?]

Why would the will of hell want to join forces with someone as weak as us?

Therefore, something has definitely happened here, but we haven't noticed it!
