Chapter 169 – Great Secret

The other two sleeping guards did not notice a thing . They were still in their dream world .

Tong walked to them with lighted footing . He placed his hand on the mouth of one of them and used the other hand with a dagger to dig it into this neck . Tong could feel the sensation of a dying man with the handle of his knife and the hand that was covering his mouth .

The unlucky guard spasmed for 3 seconds before he stopped . Tong pulled the knife out and repeated the same process with the other one .

Tong rechecked the radar map one more time . All hostile soldiers had been eliminated . The east gate was free for the taking .

"Signal the soldiers outside . Let them move in . "

The ten soldiers nodded . They each took a torch and moved to the top gate wall and began waving the torches . At the same time, the gate below started opening . The ninety soldiers below had succeeded .

Each cavalry rushed into the city with a fire torch in his hand . The horsemen were ordered to charge into the city and burn the government buildings .

The other footmen also rushed after the cavalries, charging and breaking into houses, searching for potential enemies .

Tong had given them a green light . His order was simple .

"Kill every soldier and those who fight back!"

"Leave the elders, women, and children alone!"

"Do not rob the people! Do not **** the women!"

"Any violator will be killed on the spot!"

Tong sighed . Even with these orders, there would still be innocents who would be implicated into this battle .

The soldiers rushed into the city like a wave of plague . Everywhere they went, houses were burnt, screams and battle sound followed after .

Tong watched the massacre from the top of the gate wall with a heavy heart . It was cruel, but it had to be done in order to prepare for the battle with Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun .

Since the edict from Liu Ping had arrived in this city before Tong came, so Liu Ping should have brainwashed these soldiers, saying that Tong was a rebel and a bad guy .

Tong gave this city a chance yesterday by asking them to surrender, which they refused .

If it were the normal time, Tong would take his times trying to convince the townsmen with his deeds and his action . He would do the same with the incident in Ganling City . However, this was an urgent time . This city had to be thoroughly controlled . He could not afford a mishap from the city people, be it merchants, nobles, farmers, spies, or soldiers .

Thus, to prevent such a possible scenario, all soldiers in this city had to be purged!

The sun rose, revealing the carnage in Liyang City .

Seventy percent of the civilian houses were burnt . The government buildings were either burnt or destroyed . Black and white smoke rose up from the ground . The smell of burned wood, iron, ashes, and burned human flesh mixed in together, creating a nauseous rotten odor .

The surviving civilians were herded to the barrack ground in the city . From the population of 100,000 people, only 35,000 people survived the massacre . Within the deaths, there were many merchants, peasants, farmers, and nobles .

Tong's subordinates finished their investigation after the cleanup . This city only had 5,000 soldiers as their garrison guards, yet their hearts were with the Imperial Court and the royalties . Even seeing the 60,000 soldiers approaching, they were brave enough to decline the surrendering chance when they were asked .

The people in this city also had the same thought . They did not want to surrender to Tong .

During the raid, none of the peasants shouted or begged to surrender . They picked a plow and fork to fight the soldiers to death .

Even women and elders attempted to fight back as well, resulting in more death .

Tong's men also suffered casualties from the chaos . Five thousand men fell in this raid from the ambushes of the civilians and the garrison soldiers .

Listening to the reports by the lieutenants and captains, the guilt and pain in Tong's mind turned into hatred . The pupils in his eyes turned more bloody red, and shocking messages appeared .

<your [wrath]="" has="" 15 . 99%="" chance="" to="" take="" control="" of="" your="" body="">>

<your [???????]="" has="" 10%="" chance="" to="" take="" control="" of="" your="" body="">>

<your [????????]="" has="" 5%="" chance="" to="" take="" control="" of="" your="" body="">>

Tong noticed the abnormally, but he was not in the mood to think . He was angered by the townspeople for not surrendering to him . He was angered by their stupidity and their lack of information . He was angered by their ignorance about the situation beyond their city .

And lastly, he was angry at his incompetence-self for raiding this city half-heartedly . If he had steeled himself and ordered a total annihilation of this city like Cao Cao did to Pengcheng City in the history, the soldier casualties would have been less or down to nothing .

Tong glared at the surviving women, children, and elders . An unbelievable order came out of his mouth .

"Kill them all . "

Lilith, the system goddess, was observing the massacre in Liyang . She also glanced at Tong's [Sins] status update .

After his refusal, Lilith decided to give Tong a hint of his two hidden sins which could be the hidden danger . She censored the name, so Tong would be puzzled to the point that he would have to beg her for her help again .

'[Cruelty] and [Insanity] … What a bunch of troublesome traits you have, little brat . Having the average 7 sins isn't enough for you, so you have to collect more sins? Are you a Pokémon Master? Gotta sin 'em all!?'

'That Morning Star must have imprisoned you in Hell for hundred thousand years for you to develop these two sins . Heck, probably all those four sins are his doing!'

'I'm surprised that Tong hasn't morphed into a monster yet . It must have been Morning Star's doing again . He should have tampered his soul somewhere or influenced something into him, or else he won't have this mental fortitude . '

'Do you want to create another Demon King?'

'Or do you want another black-winged archangel like yourself?'

It was a risky move by Lilith for revealing additional sins that a newborn devil could have . It involved exposing the great secret of awakening additional wings to the immortals .

Exposing the number of sins he had in this broadcast would arouse suspicion from the opportunist gods . As the predecessor, she experienced it first-handed how hard and how long it took to get one curse as she had slain billions of innocent mortals to get hers .

From the day Tong refused her offer, she disconnected the broadcast of this dimension . But she knew, Morning Star and Michael had their own ways and abilities to reconnect this live streaming . Lilith only prayed that they could get a hint .

The three realms had one thing in common, the number of [Sin] each individual could have from birth . Ordinary mortals were born with seven sins from the start, but it will increase depending on how the mortals lived their lives . Once they died and received the immortal's baptism, they would receive the curses, giving the chances to grow wings .

The same applied with both devils and angels who were born in the Netherworld . Contrary to the mortals, they did not have to get the baptism as they were born with the curses from the start .

In the early days, no one knew how they were cursed with the [Sins] or how they were formed, only a few individuals who were created directly by the creator knew . They were called "The First Generation" .

The creator cursed everybody with the [Sins], so they could be aware of their misconduct and correct themselves in the future . He rewarded the strength of wings to those who realized their sins and repented them . The strength proportion depended on the number of [Sins] each immortal could conquer . The more they repent, the stronger the immortals were .

Alas, he made one mistake, he made his creations too smart .

One of his creations noticed this exploit and abused it, making her original 12 wings into 16 wings . It was Lilith, the current system goddess, who was sealed in this dimension .

Lilith was the first who found out about this exploitable [Bug] and caused various disasters onto several planets . She killed and tortured countless of mortals and immortals alike, created a massive army of monsters, and exterminated countless mortal civilizations around the universe .

The secret she found revolved around the exploit of the unique named [Sins] which could be gain by committing the crimes and hideous acts repeatedly for years . After she obtained the new curses, she repented her sins by committing the opposite deeds, weakened the curses to the point that it turned into new wings .

The creator found out about this later, he sealed her in a fragmented dimension and told the other archangels who knew the secret to keep this information as the top classified .

He patched this flaw later by disabling the system notification and setting new rules . The abusing immortal would lose his sanity if he knew the secret and exploited it for his personal gain . As a consequence, all immortals who discovered this secret could not use this [Bug] the same way as Lilith did .

Despite the fact that the creator fixed the loophole, the [Bug] was still there .

If this information was exposed, the current gods would intentionally commit various kinds of sinful acts until he was cursed by that [Sin] . Then, they would do the opposite of the [Sin], conquering it to awaken a new wing, which they would get stronger .

All opportunistic gods would lose their mind from the Heaven Tribulations, and the amalgamation of all the evils would gather in the Netherworlds . All abominations would break loose in Heaven, and Hell would be a new playground for the insane gods and immortals .

This move by the creator forced Lilith and the first generation immortals to keep their mouth shut if they still wanted the Netherworld to continue to exist .

But the rules of the creator was being challenged by Morning Star right now .

Lilith was frustrated every time she saw the number of sins Tong had . She blamed everything on Morning Star as he was the culprit of everything .

Ordinary former human should have only seven to nine sins as their lifespans were limited . Yet, at this moment, Tong possessed a total of 11 [Sins] which was too many for a mortal sinner to have .

She figured that Morning Star might have forced Tong to do something repeatedly for years, so he could get these [Sins] .

Furthermore, an ordinary sinner could not grow wings yet . They had to be baptism by the angels or devils first . Again, Morning Star was prepared . He allowed Friday to mate with Tong, making him a member of the demonic clan, which would be eligible to obtain the curses and grew wings .

Tong was an honest mortal . His positive karma and his upbringing had proven himself . He would be a good candidate for an archangel had he been transferred to Heaven . But since Tong was tamed by Friday and Medusa, he would choose to become an archdemon by his free will if he were to return, and nobody could say anything about it .

Moreover, he did not know about this secret, so he would not get the backlash of the Heaven Tribulation .

Everything was too perfect!

Lilith's anger shot up again from thinking about this . She was so mad that she wanted to foil Morning Star's plan no matter what . As a result of her thinking, she tried to recruit Tong .

'I'll ruin your plan, Morning Star!'

'I'll steal your hard work and make him mine!'

Lilith's childish attitude was at work again, with Tong as the victim of this grand scheme of the immortals . </your></your></your>
