Immortal Creed

Chapter 220: Talk


The world-shaking killing intent quickly subsided, and Benjamin also recovered from the oppressive aura.

He let out a heavy breath, his body relaxing as if a fish had returned to suitable waters.

Recalling the feeling just now, he looked at Liens with some horror; nothing had made him realize the gap between himself and Liens more than that oppressive aura.

"I can help your Rebel Army, and I can even help you kill that Earl, but I need you to kill everyone in the Rebel Army whom you believe deserves to die."

Liens's expression remained calm, as if the killing intent from just now was merely an illusion. He continued from his previous words, speaking faintly to Benjamin.

He chose not to act himself, first, because he wanted to see if Benjamin had the resolve to carry out his request. If not, how could he believe Benjamin could achieve the equality of ordinary people that he spoke of?

And if even Benjamin was like this, then he truly had no more expectations for the entire rebellious force.

Second, his own standards were a bit high; if he acted himself, he might end up killing more people in the rebellious force than there were on the noble side.

"How many do I need to kill?"

Hearing this, Benjamin didn't hesitate at all and immediately asked Liens.

Feeling the determination in Benjamin's heart, Liens smiled, and then his smile grew wider and wider, finally bursting into laughter: "Haha, good, good... Benjamin, you truly didn't disappoint me."

"Go and kill. Kill those whom you believe, if remaining, can help you achieve the equality in your heart and will not become an obstacle to 'equality'."

"I will wait for you here, until you believe you have met the requirements... If you encounter anything unsolvable during this time, you can also come to me; I am very willing to help."

"There's no time limit, but I hope you can handle it quickly, because the Inner City should be launching a new offensive against you soon."

Liens smiled as he looked at Benjamin, like a devil awaiting a human sacrifice.

And in a sense, this might indeed be a form of sacrifice ritual; Benjamin needed to offer a large number of Lives to gain Liens's intervention.

"I understand."

Hearing this, Benjamin grew even more resolute. After a simple response, he turned and walked out of the room to carry out Liens's request.

"Besides me, do not let anyone else enter this room. If anyone trespasses, immediately call someone to inform me."

"This is your only duty tonight. Other than this, no matter what sounds you hear or what movements you see, you are not allowed to leave this place by a single step."

Benjamin spoke sternly to the two guards standing at the door.

"Yes, Officer Benjamin."

Although puzzled, the two guards solemnly accepted the task.

Benjamin had explicitly stated that he did not wish for others to call him 'Sir,' so many people in the Rebel Army, to show their respect for him as a leader, would add 'Officer' after his name.

Benjamin nodded, then, while walking, took a crystal engraved with special patterns from his 懷中 and put it to his mouth, saying: "Reid, come to my room; I want to tell you something, the sooner the better."

After speaking, without waiting for a response, he put the crystal back into his pocket and then quickened his pace back to his own room.

After Benjamin left, Liens looked at the divine will still lingering there and asked about the reason for its presence.

"Help me clear the obstacles in the Hartwin Kingdom that impede 'equality,' and I will resolve your Life origin depletion issue."

An inorganic voice resounded in Liens's mind.

"Clear the obstacles in the Hartwin Kingdom? I don't have that much capability."

Hearing this "God of Absolute Fairness" return the same words he had just said to Benjamin, Liens couldn't help but let out a slight laugh.

Although he also very much wanted to solve his Life origin problem, he was not so arrogant as to believe he could resolve an entire kingdom.

Even to deal with the Earl of the Glenbagen Family, he would have to pay a huge price, and that person was only an Earl.

The entire Hartwin Kingdom must have even stronger people; otherwise, Earl Bard's title wouldn't be 'Earl' but something like 'Duke' or 'Prince.'

Moreover, signing a contract with an evil god, what difference was that from an ordinary person seeking out a devil themselves?

"You underestimate your abilities, and I am not asking you to accomplish such a thing alone."

"Never mind. Fate will prompt you to make a choice. My conditions will remain here. Come find me when you've thought it through."

Seeing Liens unmoved, the "God of Absolute Fairness" left these words and then disappeared.

"'God of Absolute Fairness' Elthorp, what exactly is His purpose in supporting the rebellious forces? What does equality mean to Him?"

"If equality is truly so important to Him, then why doesn't He act personally?"

"And, clearly, His existence is so conspicuous, why haven't strong individuals from the Four Great Powers come to deal with Him? Is it because He is too strong, and the Four Great Powers dare not easily act?"

Liens pondered in his heart, but he quickly dismissed his doubts.

"Forget it, thinking too much is useless. That level is still too far from me. Their thoughts are not what I should be concerned with right now."

Liens murmured softly, then sat cross-legged on the ground, calmly sensing the changes after officially breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm.

...

Military Fortress, a room that originally belonged to General Aboer of the Glenbagen Family, now belonged to Benjamin.

Although Benjamin mostly stayed in his office handling official business and rarely returned to this room, servants would still come daily to clean it to maintain its comfort.

It could be said that while the Rebel Army initially united various forces and many dissatisfied commoners based on the equality emphasized by the Heavenly Balance Church.

However, now, the living conditions of the Rebel Army's high-ranking members were no longer inferior to those of the nobles in the Inner City, and the hierarchy between divine envoys and ordinary people was even more evident.

Those repeated calls of 'Sir' were the product of this unspoken agreement.

Many commoners who had been drawn into the Rebel Army had already realized that they had indeed welcomed equality, but some people were 'more equal,' and they had merely replaced one group of rulers with another.

It was precisely because he saw this change that Benjamin was so repulsed by the title "Sir."

Although he was the leader of the Rebel Army, he was still powerless to change this transformation driven by multi-party interests and could only silently express his resistance.

"Reid, I'm preparing to deal with Eke and his group."

In the room, Benjamin solemnly spoke to a man dressed like a noble gentleman.

"Reason? We've known each other for nearly half a year, and I don't recall you being such an impulsive person."

Hearing this, Reid frowned slightly, not refuting Benjamin's idea, but instead asking for his reason for doing so.

"I found a helper. He is very strong, so strong that I even think he is stronger than that Earl."

"He made a request to me: to clear out the things in the Rebel Army that hinder its progress... I agreed."

Benjamin responded.

"A helper? Can you tell me about him?"

Reid still frowned slightly.

"After the matter is over, I will introduce him to you. Before fulfilling that request, I don't want to go back to him."

Benjamin shook his head, refusing Reid's request.

"Alright, how many people need to be killed?"

Reid continued to ask.

"Kill them all. After we secretly deal with Eke and them, we'll gather people and kill all those gangs."

"As for the others... The Rebel Army still needs them now. If they don't change after this incident, then we'll deal with them later."

"The Rebel Army is an army that pursues equality; no one is allowed to use the Rebel Army to satisfy their personal desires."

Benjamin said in a deep voice.

"It seems many people will die tonight... Grab my hand."

Reid didn't continue to ask but extended his right hand to Benjamin. Benjamin knew what was going to happen next, so he didn't hesitate and directly grasped Reid's outstretched right hand.

Subsequently, a faintly glowing black magic circle formed beneath their feet. Soon, their figures disappeared from the room as if swallowed by the earth.
