The Girls Are All Coveting Me-Chapter 458 - 394: What Does It Mean for the Descended Evil God to Be Slain One by One by the Hero Team?
"Fratiss, the current situation in the Ars Empire requires your intervention."
"Hmm?"
"After we purge the Void Erosion Sect headquarters hidden within the Ars Empire, the entire empire will undergo a tremendous upheaval."
"Because of the Abyss?"
"Yes, the outside world thinks the Blood Moon Path is out of control due to the fall of the Red Moon. But the issue isn’t as severe; the Red Moon will eventually return from the annals of history.
In reality, the present Blood Moon Path extends from the Abyss. It hasn’t caused great disaster so far simply because the Abyss hasn’t yet made a move."
Practicing the Blood Moon Path doesn’t necessarily mean insanity, but that’s just because the Abyss doesn’t want you to go mad.
"It’s unfortunate that when Louis discovered something was amiss in the Ars Empire, half of the empire’s Extraordinary Paths had already been replaced by the Blood Moon Path..."
In other words, if one wishes to completely end the threat of the Blood Moon Path, the only option at the time Kai had was to directly clear all Blood Moon Path Extraordinaries.
But... that would mean he had to kill more than 200 million Ars people.
Who can bear the consequences of such a massive slaughter?
The best strategy left is to use other means to introduce more Extraordinary systems, gradually diluting the numbers of the Blood Moon Path.
But even so, it remains an unchangeable fact that the mainstream Extraordinary Path of the Ars Empire has become the Blood Moon Path.
"The Ars people have been caught up in the pollution, truly an unavoidable misfortune. Ultimately, the Blood Moon Path offers strong survivability in its early stages, allowing them to eke out a living as quasi-doctors.
Not everyone in the civilian population has the capital to freely choose an Extraordinary profession, so the predominant Blood Moon Path inevitably infiltrates the next generation, perpetuating its influence.
The simplest solution isn’t slaughter; it’s directly replacing their bloodline sources."
Chloe’s face showed a hint of a smile.
Cang, was this within your expectations too?
He’s well aware of Cang’s nature.
This stray Centaur excels at long-term strategy.
Perhaps amidst countless possibilities, he foresaw that there would be others who would stir up trouble with the Blood Race.
Protecting the Blood Angel, allowing it to reincarnate and provide reinforcement in the future, is an old tactic.
"What should I do?"
"Very simple, Fratiss, convert from the Patrolling Path to the Blood Moon Path, then go to the Ars Empire and spread the teachings."
The Patrolling Path has now hit its limit in enhancing Fratiss.
From the time of advancing to Legend, an Extraordinary begins to forge their own path.
With Lilith’s support, Fratiss’s transition to the Blood Moon Path is less like a conversion and more like returning to her original path.
With the Blood Angel’s essence, not only won’t she be polluted by the Blood Moon Path, but she’ll forge a path unique to the Blood Angel.
Heroic Squad members combined with the Blood Moon Path... You’re joking, Chloe wouldn’t dare to imagine what might happen.
"Anyway, first eliminate the strongholds of the Void Erosion Sect."
...
Location: Ars Empire
"Father, I’ve successfully joined the Zhu Yue Research Society, from now on I am a proud Master Zhu Yue."
Excitedly returning to his family’s estate, young Akado was met with a stormy look from his father upon delivering this good news.
Akado instinctively sensed something was off and cautiously asked, "Father, is there something wrong at home?"
"Didn’t I tell you that if the Zhu Yue Research Society wanted to formally invite you as a mage, you should discuss with me first?"
Count Bill, glaring at his insensible son with clenched teeth, exuded unmistakable irritation in his voice.
Akado’s previously jubilant mood instantly deflated, as he quietly said:
"But didn’t you say the price Zhu Yue Research Society demanded before was too outrageous, that you were unwilling to agree? Zhu Yue told me now that the organization has changed, and the previous terms no longer need to be met, so I agreed..."
Count Bill’s expression turned to one of fury: "Those lying bastards..."
Despair filled Count Bill’s words.
"Have you considered why the Zhu Yue Research Association continuously rejected your membership application previously, and now suddenly offered it for free?"
"Isn’t it because I’ve dedicated myself to learning tirelessly over the years, earning the mentors’ acknowledgment?"
"Bullshit, that’s a private institution requiring funding to maintain research. Do you think you’re Saint Child Chloe? Worthy of such attention?"
"Ugh..."
Even with Count Bill’s self-proclaimed good demeanor, he found it hard to maintain calm now.
"Take a look at this intelligence report yourself..."
With a snap, Count Bill tossed the report at his son’s face.
Akado, nervously picking up the report, was stunned after reading it.
"What do you mean the Hero Team has found traces of the Void Erosion Sect’s main forces?"
"What do you mean the Ars Empire is uniting factions to jointly eliminate the Evil God’s Followers?"
"What do you mean the holy descendance of the Evil God is getting killed one by one by the Hero Team?"
"Wait a minute, how did our country become a haven for Evil God’s Followers?"
Count Bill painfully covered his face and said, "People used to only suspect, but now it’s basically confirmed that the Blood Moon Path is the wrong path. Tell me, what kind of people would suddenly allow you to join their organization at this time?"
"...Father, what do you mean?"
"The Zhu Yue Research Society is likely connected to the Void Erosion Sect, and now you’re tied to their chariot."
"...Then, what should I do? Report them?"
"Report what? Report ourselves? Haven’t you thought that once you try to report, it might trigger something left on you by those Zhu Yue people? You tell me, didn’t they give you some treasure when you joined and told you that digesting and absorbing it would speed up your Extraordinary Path?"
"..."
"Figured it out? That thing is bait to lure you in, my foolish son. Your withered little brain never considered that there’s no such thing as unearned goodwill in this world? Besides your father and mother, who else would do something for you without conditions?"
Count Bill’s nearly humiliating words almost made Akado cry.
The situation is now very clear. He was lured by an outer organization of the Void Erosion Sect and got involved in this upheaval.
If the Blood Moon Path is wrong, that means once the origin of the wrong path interferes with him, he is likely to be gradually corrupted.
There have been similar cases in history.
But before, Alseans would self-explain, saying it’s a side effect of the Red Moon.
But now they can’t deceive themselves anymore.
Count Bill felt a deep chill in his heart.
It seems he can’t protect his child anymore. Damn it, he knew the Blood Moon Path might have some minor issues, so why couldn’t he resist the temptation of power it brought?
Now it’s all over.
In Count Bill’s understanding, if the Blood Moon Path is the wrong path, then the source of this path must come from the Abyss.
The entire Ars Empire, from the beginning, has been a banquet for the Abyssal Will.
From the day they chose the Blood Moon Path, everyone was destined to become a time bomb.
"We’re finished, the empire too."
"But Father, I don’t understand..." Akado whispered, "If we’re really destined to fall, then shouldn’t other countries have surrounded us by now? I looked at the intel you gave me, and the Hero Team killed the Divine Descent Body without even fighting in the city..."
"What’s the problem? The Heroic Squad under Glory, one must admit, has always been benevolent."
"But benevolence is directed at the innocent. If we’re destined to fall, wouldn’t fighting the Divine Descent Body in the city and using the aftermath to sweep us away be a better choice? Why go to all the trouble of leading the gods to the wilderness."
Count Bill frowned slightly.
Actually, when it was mentioned that the Heroic Squad might kill them, even though Count Bill wasn’t involved, he still involuntarily harbored resentment towards the Heroic Squad.
But he knew in his heart that the Heroic Squad’s action of eliminating the Evil God’s Followers was absolutely beneficial for the country and even the world in the long run.
Yet the Damocles sword hanging over his son’s head made him fearful, causing him to overlook some obvious things.
"The Heroic Squad doesn’t intend to eradicate us completely?"
"If they truly wanted to clean us out, they wouldn’t even give us a chance to relax. Heroes are kind, but not foolish."
"Son, you occasionally come up with some valuable suggestions; maybe we should wait for some news..."
Just as Count Bill was contemplating how to deal with the overall situation, a hurried sound of footsteps came from outside the door.
"My lord, there’s news, good news, we’re saved."
Count Bill shot up from his chair and rushed forward, grabbing the butler’s shoulders, saying, "What news, from where? Is the source reliable?"
"Reliable, absolutely reliable, it’s from the Heroic Squad. It’s said that there’s a top-notch expert in the squad who is herself on the Blood Moon Path. She has discovered a small problem with the Blood Moon Path and is planning to open a seminar to teach how to keep the Blood Moon Path from losing control." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
"Huh?"*2
Both Count Bill and Akado were stunned.
"A seminar held by the Godslayer?"
"Yes!"
"Could it be..."
Count Bill took a deep breath and shouted, "Akado, go to the nearby city immediately, take the Teleportation Array to attend the lecture, maybe this isn’t a crisis but rather a huge opportunity."
Akado also realized something, turned around, and headed straight for the nearest big city.
But when he arrived in the neighboring city, he saw a dense crowd of Extraordinary applicants from all over trying to enter the Ars Empire’s capital.
He felt a wave of dizziness.
Despite being the scion of the count’s family, logically speaking, he should have gotten the information faster than others, so why had the news already spread?
Looking at the massive queue in front, after a moment of thought, Akado slowly raised his hand and shouted:
"20 gold coins for a position at the front."
