Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System Chapter 1022 - 456: Star River Has No More Three Deceits Cult!!!

Reality.

Su Tu's form trembled ever so slightly, a minute reaction that did not escape Liu Ma's notice.

Surprise flickered across Liu Ma’s expression in an instant.

However, before she could move closer to Su Tu, the very next moment…

Buzz buzz buzz!!!

A tide of blood-red moonlight surged forth from his body, a profound aura continuously ascending. It pulsed with an existence far beyond Liu Yingjiao's comprehension.

Merely sensing this aura evoked an inexplicable sense of awe and deep respect within her, gradually soothing her previously worried gaze.

Void~

As Su Tu's eyes opened, they swept across the entire chapel like black holes, casual and unhurried, not lingering on Liu Ma at all.

Instead, his gaze landed directly on the collapsed believers scattered on the floor. The blood-red moonlight emanating from him seemed intrinsically linked to these devotees.

Through these believers, Su Tu perceived a vaster multitude: more kneeling followers, fervent believers, the devoted members of the entire Star River's Three Deceits Cult. Some were in prayer within the chapel, others were embedded within the Federation's systems, and many more lay hidden amongst the general populace – all adherents of the Tri-Deity, all devotees of suffering.

In Su Tu's vision, these followers transformed into countless blood-red stars.

Initially, only a few thousand such stars were visible. Then, they progressively multiplied until thousands turned into tens of thousands, then hundreds of thousands.

This expansion continued unabated, reaching millions and then tens of millions before showing any signs of slowing.

These stars represented the followers of the Tri-Deity, and their sheer numbers were astonishingly vast.

Although Su Tu had long been aware of the Three Deceits Cult's pervasive influence, he had never anticipated the true scale of their congregation.

Even with Chen Yuan employing immense amounts of faith this time, it constituted only a fraction of the Tri-Deity Cult's total belief.

The nature of faith is its gradual accumulation, like gathering sand to build a tower. These innumerable believers lurking within the Human Race were the most terrifying aspect of the Three Deceits Cult.

If these followers remained unchecked, even eliminating Chen Yuan and all present at the Central Church would not eradicate the Three Deceits Cult entirely.

Furthermore, these believers harbored Divine Grace within them. This Power of Faith, if left undirected, could incite even greater chaos.

Unless…

"I will devour all of it, and that shall be enough."

Su Tu uttered this softly, his voice devoid of emotion, as if recounting a mundane event.

Yet, Liu Yingjiao, standing beside him, couldn't help but have her eyes narrow upon hearing these words. She sensed that this somewhat unfamiliar student was about to undertake a monumental action.

"Little Tu, I know you possess the Power of Great Destruction, but the poison of faith corrupts all pure concepts. You’ve just endured the poison of faith; achieving awakening is already a significant feat."

"To aim to absorb all the faith… beneath that immense power lies endless poison. Even you…"

Liu Ma did not complete her sentence, but the unspoken warning carried a chilling weight.

Upon hearing this, Su Tu remained unfazed, offering a light chuckle.

"Rest assured, Liu Ma. What I promised you is about to be fulfilled."

"From this moment on, the Star River will no longer harbor the Three Deceits Cult."

Su Tu declared with indifference, his tone echoing a deity issuing a judgment upon the masses.

He then turned his attention away from Liu Yingjiao. Raising his hand voluntarily, the surrounding Blood Power rapidly coalesced. With a resounding boom, a magnificent silhouette materialized behind Su Tu.

An aura of ultimate termination, a pervasive stillness, emanated from this figure.

The silhouette grew increasingly distinct, finally revealing its complete form: a face identical to Su Tu's, a bare torso displaying a physique of near-perfect musculature, adorned with entwined black-red patterns that evoked a sense of holiness rather than eeriness.

"This is…"

Liu Yingjiao gazed at the silhouette in bewilderment, sensing a familiar aura – the aura of the Tri-Deity, yet transcending it, purer and more terrifying.

As this silhouette fully emerged…

Among the numerous unconscious believers, a scattered few began to stir. Among them were the Hua brothers, Hua Yun and Hua Yu, their eyes welling with tears as they gazed at the magnificent silhouette, their bodies trembling.

The few believers standing beside them were equally overcome with emotion.

In their eyes, the world around them seemed to lose its color, with only the silhouette above reflecting, appearing as the focal point of existence.

That is…

"Eternal Venerable God!!"

"You have descended!!!"

"In this realm, only you are the true God, the sole reality of all existence!!"

"The aura of false gods is gone! The imposters are vanquished!! Indeed, compared to the true God, they are merely clowns!!"

The Hua brothers exclaimed with fervent excitement, half-kneeling on the ground, offering respectful salutations to the divine silhouette.
