Hevi gritted his teeth and said, "How did this new wave of public opinion even start..."

What does it mean for a group of people to parade the streets and alleys, demanding the Starfire Church to change its doctrine in the name of benefiting the Church?

At this moment, Hepa Town was facing a situation Hevi had never envisioned.

It was unclear when it started, but a group of people suddenly popped up with claims that their antics were for the good of the Starfire Church, catching the Church completely off guard.

By the time they fully grasped the situation outside, everyone was left scratching their heads.

"Why are you meddling with our Church’s doctrine?"

This group of troublemakers absurdly argued logically, claiming that since Solar’s belief system collapsed, the Starfire Church would inevitably follow suit unless the doctrine was swiftly changed to prevent future calamity...

The argument seemed plausible but more and more like they were deliberately picking a fight. No, this was definitely an intentional provocation!

"Hevi, what should we do?" the Starfire Knight next to him inquired.

Hevi walked to the window, glancing outside. Hepa Town now appeared to him as a place teeming with chaos and annoyance everywhere he looked.

Groups of people held banners demanding a change in doctrine, and even from the window, he could hear their chants.

"We don’t want to become like Solar!"

"Change the doctrine! Be the new generation of Sun Warriors!"

"Might as well change the name of Sun Warriors too!"

The more he listened, the more infuriated he became.

This group claimed they were doing this for the good of the Starfire Church, akin to a direct provocation! Heavy measures should be taken!

But....

Hevi squinted his eyes, carefully examining the banner-holding crowd, instantly assessing their makeup.

"Locals, suppressed prayer supporters, and," he grimaced reluctantly, "our own believers."

Although he loathed to admit it, he recognized members of the Starfire Church among the demonstrators, including several familiar faces who had joined in causing a ruckus.

Hevi recalled some individuals who would never purposely trouble their own Church, yet they were foolish enough to be swayed by the circulating rumors and opinions.

"What should we do now?" the Starfire Knight asked again.

A bit tricky.

If it were just unrelated individuals in the crowd, a forceful response could quickly quell the situation, but with members of their own Church involved, a heavy-handed approach was impossible.

Meanwhile, the man mixing into the protest crowd laughed without restraint.

It turned out rhythm-leading was such an emotionally satisfying activity, he realized his innate talent for it, having orchestrated the chaotic scenes unfolding in front of his eyes!

The sense of achievement was overwhelmingly high!

Previously, he had already spread news about his plans to incite chaos within Hepa Town to his silent higher-ups, hoping that if they received it, they would obstruct the rebel army’s actions in response, but even if not, the man wasn’t concerned about that.

He wanted to actualize his self-value!

He’d been stifled in Hepa Town for far too long, needing to vent his grievances.

"Starfire Church, what will you do, let me see."

He looked towards the Starfire Church’s base, imagining them scrambling in distress, bringing him immense pleasure.

The chaos he caused was sizable, neither trivial nor explosive, merely demonstrations without escalating into major conflicts.

But judging by his capabilities, reaching this stage was already excellent, the situation remaining not too severe also had its perks.

An unblown affair meant the rebel army likely wouldn’t conduct a strict investigation into the matter, allowing him to slip by undetected, though he felt exposure would have been worthwhile.

After orchestrating this wave, the man felt he could go into stealth mode and prepare for the next round of disruption.

As long as he lived, he swore to become the shadow looming over Hepa Town, ensuring the city never rested for a single moment!

"Come on, Starfire Church, rebel army, let me see what you’ll do!"

Glaring challengingly at the Starfire Church base, the man issued his provocation.

Since there were believers of their own Church within the protesting crowd, heavy-handed measures weren’t feasible, so...

Some gentle tactics were necessary.

Thinking of this, Hevi immediately said:

"Fight."

"What?" Someone was taken aback, "Isn’t that going a bit far?"

But a familiar Starfire Knight grinned, cracking his knuckles loudly, "Alright, let’s fight then."

"We just decided to dispatch soldiers for a tentative attack on the Three Great Religions’ base, and now this group of troublemakers shows up, they’re not genuinely concerned for the Starfire Church."

Hevi raised his hand and stated:

"They’re spies from hostile forces disrupting morale; we must retaliate decisively!"

He added, "Lightly on our own people."

"Got it!"

Soon, the Starfire Church base surrounded by protest crowds began opening its gates.

Upon seeing this, the man shouted loudly, "They’re coming out! They have to give an explanation today, or it won’t end!"

His shout riled up the surrounding people, who echoed loudly, "Yes, we need a clear answer!"

The towering Starfire Knights emerged, and people suddenly noticed something strange about their outfits and movements.

Why weren’t they talking, and why were they armed with clubs and shields?

There was a looming sense of foreboding.

The leading Starfire Knight scanned the protesters and then nodded.

"What exactly are you doing, speak up, at least bring out someone in charge," the man shouted.

"Fight."

The Starfire Knight merely gestured.

"Fight what?" The protest crowd was bewildered.

The next moment, strong music blared, and the Starfire Knights, all at once, swung their clubs towards the protestors!

"Aaaah they’re attacking!"

"Run, you beasts, don’t block me!"

"Don’t hit me! I’m part of the Starfire Church!"

The previously indignant protestors instantly scattered, fleeing away from the Starfire Knights in disarray.

Hepa Town’s unrestricted combat tournament commenced.

They ran; the Knights chased, leaving them with no escape.

What protestors? Talk to my electric club!

Every street and alley suddenly saw the emergence of Starfire Church enforcers, who beat the scattered protestors one by one to their knees, leaving a small group escaping towards the Teleportation Gate in Sain Dungeon.

"Damn it, are these people not considering the consequences!"

The man cursed angrily while running, unable to comprehend the Starfire Church’s audacity to take up arms directly!

Although the chaos matched his desires, he didn’t want to be caught in the storm himself!

"What are you doing anyway!"

He finally reached the Teleportation Gate, tripping and falling, yelling at the pursuers, "Solar failed utterly, yet you still follow his failed path? We’re doing this for your own good! Discard him now!"

Just then, several towering shadows suddenly cast over him.

"Huh?"

The man turned his head in confusion, meeting Temude’s gaze directly.

Temude stared at him and said:

"What did you say, mongrel?"
