Chapter 842 This is unfair
In the year 941135 of the Extraordinary Era, beneath the blood-red sky of the Abyss Battlefield, golden divine light of war had already obscured the entire Abyss dome.
[Argalius, wielding the ultimate spear, stood alone before the army of the Abyss. With each swing of the spear, a defensive line of the Abyss was reduced to ashes.]
Under his absolute power, the defenses painstakingly built by the Abyss's will over millions of years crumbled like paper. The once invincible Abyss army was routed, fleeing in disarray, and even the outer barrier of the Abyss's core was completely torn apart.
[When they were suffering defeat after defeat and had nowhere to turn, the will of the abyss finally thought of its last straw.]
[He forcefully suppressed the agitation of his origin and sent a message to the Lava Demon God who was now guarding the border of the Abyss, hoping to appeal to racial sentiments and have the Lava Demon God intercede on his behalf, pleading with Agris to show mercy and spare the Abyss.]
From the perspective of the Abyss's Will, with the founder of the Crimson Heart Society now fallen and the older generation of pillars like Ye Lingtian and the Heart Demon God all gone, Agris is now the absolute ruler of the entire Crimson Heart Society, possessing undisputed power.
He wields the ultimate source of power, controls the rules of war, and can decide the life and death of countless races with a single word, and the rise and fall of the universe with a single thought.
At this stage, Aglios is completely in a position to do whatever he wants, without needing to consider anyone's opinion or the views of any power.
If he agrees, the Abyss will have a chance to breathe.
If he shakes his head, the abyss will be fraught with danger.
However, the Will of the Abyss clearly underestimated Agrelius, and also underestimated the unwavering faith and loyalty etched into the very marrow of the Red Heart.
[Agrius didn't utter a single word in response to the Lava Demon's somewhat hesitant pleas.]
He merely glanced coldly at the Lava Demon, his battle intent surging suddenly, terrifying the Lava Demon into instantly falling silent, daring not to utter another word.
The next moment, Agrelius, spear in hand, charged alone into the core of the abyss.
He ignored the abyss's frenzied counterattacks and the desperate attempts of countless abyss lords to stop him, sweeping through everything in his path. Wherever he went, laws shattered and the very essence of existence crumbled.
In just three days and three nights, he completely breached the last line of defense of the Abyss's will, penetrated deep into the most hidden healing place in the Abyss, and dragged the Demon Hunter God, who had been hiding there for thousands of years, out of his hiding place.
[Agrius did not kill the Demon Hunter on the spot. Instead, he carried the Demon Hunter by the neck and took a single step, returning from the core of the abyss to the judgment hall of the Red Heart Society headquarters.]
The news shook the entire Red Heart Society.
Not only Agrus, but all the high-ranking members of the Red Heart Society gathered in the trial hall, their gazes filled with complex emotions as they looked at the kneeling Demon Hunter, their hearts brimming with indescribable confusion and bewilderment.
They simply couldn't understand why the Demon Hunter would betray them.
Isn't it good to treat him with a sincere heart?
Out of respect for their two old friends, the Star Demon God and the Heart Demon God, the Red Heart Society has always been responsive to the Demon Hunter God's requests.
He wanted cultivation resources, so the Red Heart Research Institute continuously provided him with the highest-grade primordial crystals.
He wanted to study the laws of spacetime, so the Red Heart Society opened its highest-level spacetime archives, allowing him to access all confidential information.
He disliked being constrained, so the Red Heart Society never forced him to participate in any wars he didn't want to participate in. Apart from necessary strategic deployments, he had absolute freedom within the Red Heart Society.
It can be said that, aside from the founder himself, the Crimson Heart Society gave the Demon Hunter everything that was possible.
What baffled everyone most was that the Demon Hunter was one of the few Demon Gods in the Red Heart Society who had come into contact with future warriors and had conducted in-depth research on the laws of spacetime.
He had personally witnessed those loyal warriors from different times and spaces, personally detected the uncertain spacetime fluctuations emanating from them, and even used this to conduct countless future deductions.
He knew better than anyone that the founders of a great and loyal society would never truly perish.
Death in this life is never the end.
In the distant past, in a higher dimension of spacetime, the founder of the Red Heart Society has always been watching this place, observing the development of every timeline. One day, He will reverse time, returning once more with all His accumulated wisdom and insights.
[Given this, what is the point of defecting?]
Did he really think that by fleeing to the abyss, he could escape the founders' reckoning?
With the immense power of the creator, killing a top-tier demon god like him in the past would have been a piece of cake.
Forget about physical violence, even spitting on him would probably obliterate his soul.
The courtroom was silent; all eyes were on the Demon Hunter, awaiting his explanation.
The Demon Hunter slowly raised his head, his face showing no remorse or regret, but rather a sense of matter-of-fact composure.
Facing the bewildered, disappointed, and angry gazes of the crowd, he calmly revealed the true reason for his defection.
[It's very simple. The will of the abyss promised me a massive amount of primal power to help me break through my limitations.]
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire courtroom.
Although I haven't officially been promoted yet, I've at least reached that bottleneck.
But if I have just a little more time, I can become a transcendent being, possessing the power to look down upon all living beings.
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.
The goal of transcendence is indeed the lifelong pursuit of countless beings.
But this is absolutely not a reason to defect.
The Demon Hunter, as if reading everyone's thoughts, continued.
As for what you're saying—that the creators can reverse time, summon the future, and return again… that's too far off.
Even if it's true, so what?
Even if in the next timeline I could enjoy wealth and glory with the founders and have a brighter future, what would that have to do with me now?
The me in the next timeline is not me.
His happiness, his glory, his immortality—none of it concerns me.
I can only live in the present, and can only experience the pain and joy of the present moment.
[If that's the case, why should I wrong myself now to accommodate a complete stranger in a future timeline?]
This is unfair!
[After the words were spoken, a deathly silence fell over the courtroom.]
Everyone was stunned!
They considered countless possibilities: that the Demon Hunter was bewitched by the will of the abyss, that he was coerced, that he had some unspeakable secret.
But they never expected that the Demon Hunter's reason for defecting would be so simple, so pure. (End of Chapter)
