## Chapter 1208: Heart of Destruction and Heart of the Abyss
It was like rain—
Countless fireballs rained down, covering the entire Heaven City!
The fireballs appeared tiny, like raindrops, from afar, but upon falling, they revealed themselves to be immensely large—each one about two to three meters in diameter, capable of instantly igniting a small house.
They uniformly covered every street and every residence in Heaven City—their purpose clear: to kill everyone, leaving no one alive.
This had already deviated somewhat from pure “revenge” … like a wild beast venting its anger, biting to death all the livestock in the pen but not eating them.
After expanding, the fireballs didn’t explode directly but began to slowly contract. Like a heart … rhythmically accumulating power for its next beat.
Clearly, a single outpouring was not enough to satisfy Hassan.
Hiding in the shrine, or burrowing underground … any of these might allow one to escape this attack. Not to mention, it wasn’t a particularly big secret that the slaves of Heaven City lived underground. He wanted not only to burn the Free People living in the world of light but also to suffocate and choke the slaves to death.
To purify this sinful city with unending flames—and use it as the starting point for the Red’s resurgence, burning the entire Ancient Kingdom of Anxi to ashes, and from those ashes, rebuilding a brand new world!
Because Hassan knew very well—only by proving his killing intent and determination, and clearly demonstrating the extent of what he would do, could the Red gain the respect of the people.
Only then would the Lord be willing to treat them as true opponents and enemies … and only then could they attract more avengers.
Only by proving their resolve and ability for revenge could the Red continuously expand!
This sinful nation could then be thoroughly destroyed!
And only by clearly displaying their resolve to defy power and ignore threats, willing to drag the Lord to hell even if it meant killing everyone … could they prevent the Lords from threatening them by kidnapping others.
Therefore, whether driven by righteous or evil hearts, they were inevitably and necessarily merciless to everyone.
Only by becoming madmen could they truly fight without restraint!
Kill all people, to save future people!
And while the Red was killing, Adler was also killing.
After using the residents as sacrificial materials for a blood sacrifice, the grand ritual named “Tentacles of the Abyss” was instantly prepared.
As the transparent, blood-red tentacles gradually grew, becoming thicker and longer, the anemone-like shield also began to grow outward, expanding.
In the next moment, the anemone became immensely large—like a giant parasol, expanding to a height of about seven to eight meters. It was about three stories high, its shadow alone capable of covering the entire shrine.
Undoubtedly … for Adler, protecting the shrine took clear precedence over protecting the city.
A giant, foaming, deep blue water cannon shot out from the center of the anemone!
Accompanied by a deafening roar, it traced a white line like a wave through the air, flying straight towards the still-burning heart in the sky.
The heart of flame retaliated—it also fired a scorching laser, intercepting and shattering the sapphire-like water cannon!
—That was a Heavenly Envoy Fragment!
Eivass immediately understood the essence of the fireballs.
The shattered water bubbles dispersed in the air, turning into a translucent, bubble-like curtain of water. The fireballs that fell into it dissipated into white smoke with sizzling sounds.
Below the water curtain, a torrential rain began to fall—the flames that had already fallen began to recede at a visible rate under this downpour.
At this moment, the giant “anemone” on the ground began to fade in color, almost becoming transparent again.
“Again.”
Adler commanded without hesitation, “Continue filling.”
Several priests suddenly rang the bells in their hands—they were handbells made of thirststone.
Invisible sound waves spread, a strong sense of thirst caused people to uncontrollably walk towards here.
As another group of people approached within a sufficient distance, the transparent tentacles suddenly swept them up again—their bodies instantly shattered and merged into the tentacles. Not even fragments of their clothes remained … like a pool of blood under the rain, instantly washed away and vanished without a trace.
Yet, even witnessing such terrifying sacrifices, others continued to walk towards it.
The giant transparent tentacles, now a pinkish-red color again, stretched out their bodies as if yawning.
…All madmen.
Eivass couldn’t help but shake his head.
He truly didn’t know what to do … both sides were beasts, and the people to be killed by both sides seemed indifferent.
Fortunately, Eivass had decided not to take sides—he would beat both sides equally. Otherwise, he couldn’t even imagine how high his blood pressure would be right now.
As if hearing Eivass’s thoughts … the tentacles lightly patted Eivass from behind, causing him to stagger.
Immediately, three more water cannons were fired consecutively into the sky!
A deep crimson laser attempted to intercept again—and after two attempts, the third finally hit the fireball squarely.
It vibrated violently, collapsing and disintegrating like an orange being peeled.
Then, as if in retaliation, it fired a deep crimson counter-ray, instantly piercing the water curtain and directly through Adler’s heart!
In just an instant, it had severely wounded a Sixth Tier Great Mage!
However, for a Sixth Tier Extraordinary, a hole blown through the chest was not a serious injury—Eivass could heal him to recovery in an instant.
Even Adler himself had plenty of ways to save himself … though it would be a bit troublesome.
“Hahahaha…”
But Adler inexplicably laughed, “Is this also … fate?”
Saying this, he looked up and immediately added to Eivass, “Don’t heal me, Eivass.”
“…What?”
Eivass, about to rescue him, paused his hand upon hearing this.
He looked at Adler with some surprise, “Why?”
Adler continued, “If I don’t succeed later, remember to re-seal the Amber Egg and take it away. You can get seawater from the ground; this is all seawater.”
“You want to… do what?”
“Complete my mission. The Prophet’s prophecy said I would die today, so it refers to this … I thought it referred to what happened this morning.”
With that, Adler casually removed the shell sealing the Amber Egg, watching the seawater drip onto the ground.
The true Amber Egg was finally revealed to the Material Realm—
—It was less an “egg” and more like a white tentacle monster.
It was like a white jellyfish swallowing an egg larger than its own body … or like an ostrich egg covered in white silk, with transparent granulations growing on the outside.
Adler grabbed the Amber Egg, which remained relatively calm in the rain, and stuffed it directly into his hollow chest!
