SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire
Chapter 468 - 468 402

Chapter 468: 402 Chapter 468: 402 “Spread the news of my ‘Master’s’ imminent arrival far and wide, in secret if possible…”

Colin finished speaking simply and saw the followers nearby lift their heads abruptly.

One by one, their faces betrayed shock and confusion, wondering if they had heard wrong to receive such an odd request.

If it weren’t for the fact that the speaker was the “Divine Envoy,” and it wasn’t for his arrival powered by the “Dawn Star,” the people present might have rushed forward to check if there was something wrong with his brain.

Once the news spread, a massive battle would surely erupt, and even this secret site might not remain hidden…

“Honorable Envoy of God… I, I don’t understand,”

Suppressing the shock Colin’s words had brought to his heart, the High Priest, bowing his head as with a hint of remonstration, said:

“If we do as you say, countless enemies will come, those damned followers of evil existences are likely to seek us out…

“There’s a certain chance against… of course, I don’t mean to question you, I am…”

He had meant to say that it might threaten the smooth arrival of the “Dawn Star.”

But before he could finish, he suddenly realized that to say so was to question the authority of the Great Will…

“It doesn’t matter.”

If they don’t come, I wouldn’t do this anyway… Colin muttered to himself, then spoke through the projection of starlight:

“The return of the ‘Master’ is a certainty, no force can stop it. When the time comes, their blood will be the first flames of fury proclaiming the return of the Great Will…”

As he spoke, Colin’s power of starlight spread, a powerful aura burst forth, silencing everyone present.

Contained within this radiance was indubitable power.

“Praise the ‘Dawn Star’!” Followers of the “Dawn Star,” a bit further away, though unaware of what had happened, nevertheless showed fervent expressions and offered devout prayers.

“I am guilty, I have committed the sin of doubting the God…” Feeling the killing intent within the starlight, the High Priest knelt before Colin, confessing devotedly.

How could he dare to question the decisions of God?

Truly deserving of death!

“Go and do as I have commanded.”

Colin nodded slightly; what he needed were mindless heretic personnel, not those capable of thought.

If this man dared to say another word, Colin wouldn’t mind neutralizing him first…

After all, is it you who are the “Divine Envoy,” or is it I?

Do my decisions, made on behalf of the “Master’s” will, require the questioning by a priest?

After pausing and seeing that the other party had the sense to ask no further questions, Colin continued to add some related details—such as summoning all followers of the “Dawn Star” to converge here.

Furthermore, he spread the message that the “Starlight Maiden” had almost succeeded and that the “Dawn Star” would descend to this world in twelve days.

At that moment, no one said anything further.

In the eyes of the vast majority of “Dawn Star” followers, just as Colin had said, the descent of the “Master” would drink the blood of countless enemies.

Moreover, after being bullied by that bunch of various evil beings for so long, they were more than eager to retaliate.

‘It seems that quite a few organizations are aware of the “Starlight Maiden”‘s information from the previous actions, yet no one knows the follow-up situation, after all, I’ve slaughtered everyone who came on the scene…’

‘Inside the ‘Red Moon’, there might be some who know the situation, but those orphans will hardly cooperate with others. Even if they take the initiative to speak, it’s not certain others would believe them, so there’s no need to worry too much about a leak of the true information.’

‘They should also know what it means if the “Starlight Maiden” successfully becomes the Container for the God; therefore, quite a number of high-ranking heretics will certainly come knocking…’

‘Tsk tsk tsk…’

Colin couldn’t help but sneer inside; by that time, there was no doubt this place would be bustling with activity.

To say they’d fight until the sky turns dark would be an understatement…

And those aberrant forces would have to come, even knowing it’s a trap, given the lack of key information—that the “Starlight Maiden” had betrayed.

In front of them lay only two options: one is to confirm the truth by losing a few high-ranking individuals, and the other is to watch the “Starlight Maiden” usher in the power of the God and return to reality…

As unacceptable as option one might be, compared to two, it wasn’t quite so unbearable.

Most of the Heretic Cults know what choice they should make.

‘This plan, one, will help defuse urbanization and reduce the anomaly index…’

‘Two, it will strike against a number of Heretic Cults, maintaining the stability of reality…’

‘Three, the rewards for the task should overturn quite a bit.’

Colin felt it was a case of killing three birds with one stone…

And then, after roughly outlining the situation, upon the altar in the secret Heretic City hidden in a special manner, Colin’s projection of starlight gradually faded…

Watching his figure disappear, the followers remained unmoved for a long while.

It was only after a considerable time that the High Priest slowly got up, a trace of confusion in his eyes. To tell the truth, as the current highest authority, he had sensed something slightly amiss about this “Envoy of God”…

Yet the power of that starlight was genuine…

If this all was a deception, he couldn’t bear to think further.

“To doubt further would be an unforgivable sin.”

Minutes later, he ultimately decided to act as the Envoy of God had required.

…

“Just relying on their power to disseminate the news might not be enough; I need to mobilize some official power, getting them to play along. With the credibility of officials as a guarantor, the scale of the event should be greater.”
