Norton relentlessly distorted New Faith scriptures, painstakingly portraying himself as a paragon of virtue and righteousness within these texts, which he then had widely disseminated by New Faith.
However, this is only the first step.
Norton's reputation is now so bad that it's practically irredeemable; he'll be remembered for good, if not for good, at least for evil.
Even if he were to force New Faith to spread his greatness and fabricate baseless rumors, this would at most be passed down among ordinary people and would be of little use to the various historical records that would actually survive.
Furthermore, the Holy Lord's Old Church will certainly record his shameless acts to expose his true nature as Norton.
Therefore, he needs to spread rumors in all aspects and from all angles to completely distort his own existence.
After finishing writing the New Faith doctrine, Norton took out another sheet of paper and began writing another section.
The Old Faith would definitely spread rumors about him, so Norton preemptively published the Old Faith's rumors about him, leaving Old Faith with nothing to spread!
"God had intercourse with the dead, and ' Norton ' was born... Norton alone disliked this and was banished by God. To avoid death, Norton eternally avoids sunlight..."
" Norton drank Kuba's blood, achieving immortality and becoming the Blood Clan Progenitor!"
"Ha ha ha ha!!!"
Norton's maniacal laughter echoed across the magnificent palace rooftop. His unrestrained cursive script flew across the paper, and with each stroke, fragments of skin scattered like snowflakes, creating a haze of dust. The bulge on his back grew ever larger, almost bursting open...
Norton 99.
The holy war has lasted for eight years.
This holy war was far more brutal than the previous massive war between the Boya Empire's allied forces and the Papal State.
In just eight years, the devastating casualties far exceeded those of the massive war that included the massacre of the population of eight cities.
The most elite heavy infantry on both sides had been exhausted in the eight years of war. The Church's Werewolf Legion and the Blood Court's second and Third-Generation Vampire had also been reduced to the point where it was difficult to form an organized force. Even so, neither side showed any sign of backing down.
With a wave of his hand, His Majesty Norton, the Blood Progenitor, conscripted 300,000 humans and forcibly transported them to the battlefield. As soon as the Blood Court's conscription office was established, the streets were filled with the Boya Empire's citizens, who were running away and screaming in despair.
However, while they might escape conscription, they couldn't escape the subsequent requisition of supplies.
Norton's Bloody Court has been collecting various supplies and sending them to the front lines. If any citizen of the Boya Empire disobeys, they will be conscripted into the army, or even turned into Fourth-Generation Vampire and forced to perform endless labor.
The wailing of the Boya Empire never ceased daily, those who cursed the progenitor Norton appeared in endless streams, and countless escapees followed.
But this still couldn't stop the continuous flow of supplies and soldiers being sent to the front lines, serving as expendable resources and support personnel.
In contrast, the Papal State were in even greater chaos.
Eight years of war emptied the Papal State' treasury and depleted the Church knights stationed in various cities.
To ensure the supply of materials to the front lines, His Adam in the rear had to employ young priests Mass had not yet attended Mass to raise an army for him, frantically amass wealth, and stop at nothing to force a continuous stream of supplies to the battlefield. As a result, although many refugees starved to death, their corpses were not wasted at all; they were either divided and eaten or made into preserved meat and sent to the battlefield.
Because there is no continuous supply of Fourth-Generation Vampire in the Papal State to exploit day and night, even with His Holiness Adam's efforts, it is still difficult to fill the gap in the country. As a result, the front lines of the Papal State have become a cannibalistic Heaven. The corpses of soldiers who died on both sides, as long as they are edible, are all taken back and eaten, which has shrouded the Church in a dark shadow.
In reality, at this point, the main battleground has shifted from a contest of troop strength to a contest of logistics.
All the soldiers had become fillers, continuously filling the huge pit.
Both sides were gritting their teeth, determined to hold out until the final victory.
The battle on the front lines continues to escalate, while at the same time, public opinion at the rear is exploding wave after wave.
His Majesty Norton, the Bloodthirsty Progenitor, has gone mad again, frantically confiscating and burning the Old Faith Bible and a series of Church books. Anyone with even a slight knowledge of Old Faith books is frequently turned into Fourth-Generation Vampire and sent to the front lines as a filler.
Their outrageous behavior caused widespread resentment, and countless scholars were dragged to the front lines with no chance of survival.
His actions, known to the world as "burning books and burying cult members alive," were utterly insane!
Pope Saint Peter New Faith, traveled among the poor, spreading the light of God and delivering speeches on Norton's New Testament, proclaiming the New Faith ideals of love and peace.
His free food distribution and personal involvement in bringing comfort to the poor led to the rapid expansion of New Faith, a trend that was difficult to stop.
His loving and kind actions stand in stark contrast to the madness of His Blood Clan Progenitor Norton. Countless people spontaneously converted to New Faith in search of some solace, seeking a final comfort in their hearts.
Although Norton's New Testament gained widespread popularity as a result, various other rumors and gossip also continued to circulate.
However, no one knew that Norton himself had spread these rumors.
In a small town within the Boya Empire.
"Oh my god, run! The Blood Court's recruitment team is coming again!!!"
"Hurry to the church! Saint Peter Church said that those who enter the church will be blessed by God!"
"I'll protect your great-father! You don't listen to a single word of the New Faith New Testament, which praises the God of Norton, the founder of Christianity. This New Faith is a den of demons built by Norton!"
The streets of the small town were in chaos, with countless people frantically running towards their homes or other remote places to escape the Blood Court's conscription teams.
However, for the Blood Clan recruits who can smell blood, their hiding is useless; it's simply a matter of whether they want to capture them or not.
The streets outside were in disarray, littered with debris scattered everywhere from the fleeing crowd.
Meanwhile, inside the small tavern with its doors wide open, there was singing and dancing, and everyone was having a great time, as if the Vampire from the recruitment office wouldn't even bother to come in.
In reality, the Vampire at the recruitment office don't actually come in.
Society exists everywhere, even in the Boya Empire where humans and Blood Clan coexist.
The Vampire recruitment team can choose its targets, and of course, it can also bribe them in various ways.
Looking at the chaos on the street, the tavern was filled with sighs and lamentations.
"Alas, when will this terrifying life end? That progenitor Norton is practically ruining the very foundation of my Boya Empire!"
"What progenitor of vampires? He's just a half-vampire who luckily obtained the blood of Bowser, the progenitor of vampires. Otherwise, how could he possess the ability to turn others into vampires? The vampires the church previously touted didn't have this kind of transformation skill!"
"Huh? Isn't Norton the Vampire Progenitor? After all, he's a freak born from God and the dead."
"I think so too. I heard that Old Norton wasn't afraid of images of God or Church decorations at all. He even bathed in them every day, and even the coffin he lay in had a pure white cross carved on it. It's clear that he must have some connection with God. Otherwise, why would other Vampire be burned by Church decorations and images of God?"
"So only silver objects can kill him?"
"That's for sure. I heard that he deliberately avoided Silver Sword's attacks during the great battle in my Boya Imperial City!"
"What are you talking about? Isn't Norton God?"
The previously harmonious atmosphere in the tavern instantly turned into chaos, with a group of people arguing wildly and spreading rumors they had heard.
That Hajinuo is really something!
