Chapter 365: Adur
Soon, Scarlet informed her father about the appearance of the new Champion and even mentioned her future prediction ability.
Unfortunately, her father and even other high-ranked Paragons didn't believe her words entirely and chose to observe for a while.
Meanwhile, Charles returned to his rented house and started his plan.
During the nighttime, he stealthily moved out of his rented house and started spreading the Crimson Butterflies.
But during the daytime, he randomly strolled on the streets and started giving prophetic words to the unlucky persons.
Still, the death toll rose exponentially day by day.
Not only that, but many Red Humans even met with accidents and got injured severely.
These unusual deaths and accidents put everyone on great alert.
Soldiers, Paragons, Templar Knights, Priests, and other Red Human citizens started to get anxious.
Although Sacred Temple members assured the citizens with their sweet words, none trusted their words fully.
Days passed.
One day, two days, three days, and soon ten days passed!
During the past ten days, more than 8,000 Red Humans died of some unknown cause!
At first, most of them didn't believe the increased number of death tolls.
But now, almost everyone believed it.
They also learned that even the sacred temple members weren't safer in this city.
The main reason for that was because of the Vipers organization's frequent assassinations!
Most of the Templar Knights were even scared to walk out alone!
Meanwhile, Alder and others spread another rumor saying that these mysterious deaths were Divine Punishment sent down by the Guardian Deity.
As the death tolls started to rise, fear and panic began to spread among the masses.
At that moment, a Mysterious Lady's actions started to spread everywhere.
Not only that, but some people even consider her words as Divine Prophecies.
The masses also soon realized that the Mysterious Lady was the true Champion of the Guardian Deity, and many changed their beliefs.
In truth, most Red Humans considered Adur as the apostle of their Guardian Deity, which was why they revered him.

Although Adur didn't step down from the ruler position, his actions affected ordinary people.
No, Adur gave privileges to the commoners and created the 'Helpers' ranking system.
As long as an ordinary Red Human manages to break the shackle and ranks up, he would be qualified to become a Helper.
With that Helper Status, even a commoner could climb up in social rank and become a high-rank official.
Because of this system, most of the commoners didn't oppose Adur's action.
Some even supported him at that time.
The ones who were affected by Adur's previous actions were the Paragons.
But when it comes to life and death, no one would care about faiths.
Within a few days, many Red Humans started worshiping Fire Bird idols and did multiple rituals for atonement.
They also did some mass rallies.
At the same time, they showed their dissatisfaction towards the Sacred Temple and even conducted protests to replace Adur's statue with the Fire Bird!
The Paragons also added fuel to the fire and created more chaos in the name of riots.
Breaking public properties, attacking the guards and Templar Knights, and doing hate speech against Adur and Sacred Temple became common everywhere.
Out of nowhere, an unknown person named Kobe became the leader of these protesters.
He demanded equal rights, government jobs for the commoners, education, and many other things.
Within three days, people even consider him as a new resistance leader.
But what's more unbelievable thing was that some people even called him the new Champion!
It was entirely out of Charles's plan!
Just when he thought of investigating that man, another incident happened.
In broad daylight, a group of masked protesters entered a Sacred Temple and broke everything, including Adur's statue.
That incident shook the whole city!
Everyone, including Kobe, thought that the Sacred Temple would send out their Templar Knights and do a massive suppression.
To their surprise, the Sacred Temple members remained quiet on this matter.
But that was only in the open, though.
The next day, Kobe hung himself in the ceiling and committed suicide.

If it were some other time, the citizens would have thought of it as a plot of the Sacred Temple.
Unfortunately, the time had changed.
Deaths, crimes, riots, and accidents became common everywhere.
Chaos descended all over the city.
The one who caused all the chaos sat on a wooden chair in the reception room and was in the middle of drinking tea.
He took a sealed letter from the nearby wooden table, tore the cover, and flipped it open.
It was a report sent by Alder about a recruit.
'Nora, huh. That unlucky girl managed to survive this long? Hmm, she is a rare gem indeed.' He nodded inwardly, burned the letter, and took another sip of tea.
Once he drank the tea, he placed the teacup on the table and stood up from his seat.
After that, he adjusted his dress, released a bit of his wisdom power, and checked the surroundings.
A second later, his expression turned grim.
'The Sacred Temple members are increasing… Are they going to act today?' A frown appeared on his face.
By his calculation, the Paragons should've sent out invitation letters for him long ago!
But not a single invitation letter arrived.
'Even Hanna's original family didn't send out any letter.'
It was as if all of them were waiting for something!
'What are they waiting for? Adur's response? Would that man dare to attack a Champion in the open?' He couldn't help but show a hesitant look on his face.
Unfortunately, he was not an omniscient being to know about everything.
The other thing he worried most was about ordinary people's faith.
Although many Red Humans were doing protests and rallies, only 50% of the commoners prayed the Guardian Deity.
The remaining 50% were still doing the daily rituals to Adur and worshipping him as the apostle of Red Human.
'The Paragons became weak and cowards.' He shook his head in disappointment.
'It's been 35 days since I constructed my spell model, and there are only ten more days left for me. I can't delay any longer. Thankfully, I had long released all the Crimson Butterflies, and all of them are ready to activate.' He nodded inwardly and made up his mind.
'If they didn't dare to come, I'll go and meet them. Let's see how Adur and Paragons would respond.' A cold glint appeared in his eyes.
He may not be a devil, but his thinking was always similar to that of a devil.
Without wasting any time, he walked out of his house and started walking on the street.
At that moment, more than a hundred people started to monitor him from different directions.
Charles didn't mind their behavior and continued to walk towards the Second District.
To his surprise, he noticed that all the streets appeared eerily quiet.
Although some citizens appeared here and there, not a single protest or mass rally appeared!
'Hmm? Something is not right. Did the Sacred Temple members kill all the protesters? No, they would never do that.' He suddenly stopped his footsteps, looked up at the sky, and frowned.
At that moment, he noticed a strange invisible layer enveloped the sky!
'Adur's work? Did he send the protester to his 'Divine Domain'?' He felt that was the possible answer.
After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and continued to walk towards the Second District.
After a few minutes of walking, he reached the entrance gate and walked in.
After that, he continued to walk for another 30 minutes and finally reached the Royal District's entrance.
But unlike before, the one who stood in front of him was not Reed but a middle-aged man.
He had a square face, amber eyes, a sharp nose, and thin eyebrows.
Currently, he leaned his back against the metallic gate and held a wooden staff in his hand.
Upon seeing him, Charles couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Nice to meet you, Adur," He said in a deep tone and took a step back.
