Chapter 1804 - 1060: Faith Is Completely Gone

If we’re discussing mass killing capability, the Crimson Corruption is undoubtedly the most cost-effective choice.

You ask why?

Naturally, because this thing will multiply on its own once thrown out.

The Sain Dungeon only needs to spend the cost of one unit, and in time, it’ll harvest an entire plain of Crimson Corruption. In comparison, even the Mad Fire seems costly.

Just like when an entire squad of the Demon Clan occupying the Val Dungeon was slaughtered by Terrestrial Ascidian infected with Crimson Corruption, that time the Sain Dungeon spent no more than a three-digit cost.

The Crimson Corruption left to grow wild can possess tremendous destructive power, but what if it’s also manipulated by Gong Qiying?

If the locals have no means to stop it, it truly could cause a calamity in an instant.

At this moment, the continent originally occupied by Corruption has transformed from a corrupt red to the scarlet of Crimson Corruption, making the land appear more sinister and desolate to the extent that not even birds defecate.

The Corruption spread infecting the local creatures, turning them into carriers of corruption, but these infected creatures died in the struggle against the Crimson Corruption, which chose not to raise them as its army.

Once all traces of Corruption disappeared from the continent, the monster legion under Crimson Corruption’s control began to die en masse, until not a single one remained, becoming nourishment for the land, where Crimson Corruption took root, sprouted, and flowered. Its scarlet color deeply infiltrated the soil, snuffing out any possibility of knock-offs.

The Demon Clan guarding the borders dared not come to investigate, allowing the Crimson Corruption to truly grow wild.

The condition of this land now seems more chaotic than Galide; even Latan had to pause for a moment.

It’s confirmed that all traces of knock-off Corruption have completely vanished, without a whisper left.

Because Gong Qiying reconfirmed the faith in Crimson Corruption, now its amassed faith has returned to its former roadside state, completely cutting off the previous excessive accumulation.

Finally returning to normal.

"Let the Crimson Corruption take root there for now."

Gong Qiying chose not to reclaim the already-scaled Crimson Corruption, letting them stay there until the issue with the Evil God was thoroughly resolved.

"The resistance of the Corruption is smaller than I expected."

On the opposite side, the strongest trump card presented is a few infected Demon Dragons. These existences of the dragon type are natural enemies irresistible to other demon beasts.

Then the Demon Dragons were turned into porcupines by their enemies [Insect Silk] prayer, restrained completely.

After completely eliminating these knock-off corruptions, Gong Qiying could sense one thing: the Evil God regards this place and the Corruption with a disinterested attitude, as if it’s better to have Corruption, but it’s no big deal if absent.

Either it’s a test by the Evil God towards Sain, or the other party has achieved some purpose, making corruption a dispensable odd piece.

Regardless of which, Gong Qiying holds zero tolerance towards the Evil God, hence....

"Why not just let the entire continent bloom instead."

This idea appeared for a moment in his mind only to be promptly denied by reason.

"Because the magic damage of Crimson Corruption is still somewhat lacking."

Compared to the physical injuries it can cause, the magical damage of Crimson Corruption is basically a blank slate, difficult to effectively strike against sophisticated enemies like the Evil God.

"It’s better to look to the Abyss in the distance."

Just as Crimson Corruption erodes the entire Demon Continent, what are the local factions doing?

They’re embroiled in chaotic and disordered battles around the teleportation gates opened by the Sain Dungeon.

Time returns to the moment Chrono first entered the Sain Dungeon.

High Priest’s castle, top floor.

"How I yearn for you."

Onora caressed a painting, the motion gentle, appearing full of affection like a maiden in love, a sight never before seen by anyone in the Demon King Army.

Luckily, the room was empty; had anyone entered to witness her in this state, they’d likely be frightened to death.

The painting favored by her was pitch-black, crudely daubed with black paint, but upon closer inspection, one could discern outlines within the deep darkness, dotted with red specks.

The more you look, the more it seems like....

"Master of the Abyss ah, who’d have thought to glimpse such a magnificent posture."

Indeed, she drew Master of the Abyss Manus.

"I didn’t become the first to witness your apparition. It’s a pity."

Why should those merely laughing adventurers get to meet the Master of the Abyss before her!

Onora’s forehead bulged with veins, but the annoyance flared and faded quickly. No matter, having seen the Master of the Abyss through Chaos’s eyes, it’s tantamount to being among the first batch of witnesses herself.

Such self-deceptive methods sometimes indeed benefit mental health.

Her most satisfying accomplishment to date is cultivating a spy model of Fallen Demon Egg, launching an array of spies towards the opposite continent, otherwise, she couldn’t have viewed the Abyss, let alone the more noble Master of the Abyss.
