The baby's mother smiled warmly for just a moment, because the next instant her baby exploded, covering her with blood, flesh, entrails, and human waste.
"Ah! Aaaah!" The mother began to scream desperately as she watched the baby's head roll across the floor like a ball.
"Oh! It seems the blessing was too intense!" Dylan said mockingly.
Laughter!
"May you all be blessed by the Crimson God.
The red dragon lunged at the people, and they exploded on contact, turning into pools of blood.
The almost transparent dragon crushed only the parts of the people it came into contact with.
"I will never forget you. You are all worthy of believing in the Crimson God," Dylan said with a laugh.
...
Selven was shaking and trying to hold back the urge to vomit and cry, because a guard who had vomited exploded shortly after Dylan called him a sinner.
At first, the shocked people took a while to react, but when they did, they began to run away from the powerful dragons. However, Dylan turned the dragons into small fish and did not hesitate to continue giving his blessing to the people of the city.

Around midnight, near a snow-covered area with uneven terrain, more than 4,000 Zarcorians belonging to the "Jackals" approached the city of Teristan.
"Captain, they say there are beautiful women in this city."
"Yes, we can defile a few of them."
Laughter!
"Let's attack!" ordered the captain of the Zarcorians....
The Zarcorians broke down every door of every building, house, shop, and noble mansion, but they found no one, and were surprised to smell an unpleasant odor coming from the city's central square.
When the Zarcorians approached the dark square, they saw human remains and blood scattered in different directions.
On a snowy stage, a man dressed in a tunic and hood prayed while four others held torches.
"What the hell is that?" exclaimed one of the Zarcorians.
Bang!
A fast ball of pressurized water blew the head off the Zarcorian who spoke with dirty words.
"Don't you dare speak obscenely while someone is praying to the Crimson God," Dylan exclaimed.
"System. I killed thousands of people and you only gave me 20 points. You're stingily perverse," Dylan mocked in his mind, then stood up.
"You are the cause of the suffering of the people of this city. If you repent, the Crimson God will forgive you," Dylan exclaimed cheerfully, as he was enjoying himself.
"Damn lunatic, there are four of you and..."
Bang! Bang! Bang!...
Hundreds of magical drops of Perversion Red, hidden among the snow and blood, pierced the bodies of hundreds of Zarcorians who were in the third rank or below.
The Zarcorians who were hit by the red drops exploded one after another. But, to prevent his men from falling prey to fear, the Zarcorian commander ordered an attack, leading the charge himself.
"Crimson God, show these sinners the power of faith!" exclaimed Dylan, who was confident, since with his 20 Perverse Points he had reached the middle level of the 5 Moons, and the strongest mercenary was only in the 4 Suns range (low level).
The two dragons appeared. And the captain of the Zarcorian was the first to drop his heavy sword, feeling the nauseating and chilling power emitted by the red dragon, as did all those above the third rank.
"These sinners have recognized their mistake, I will give them my blessing!" said Dylan, who approached the captain of the Zarcorian and asked him maliciously. "Do you believe in the Crimson God?"
"Yes, yes, I believe, Your Holiness," said the captain of the Zarcorians fearfully.
Laughter!
"I like you, but if you believe, you'll have to prove it to me. Choose 10 men you trust most and cruelly disembowel the thousands remaining, then behead the dead and hang them from the buildings. If you accomplish such a feat, you will live!" Dylan said, turning around to return to the stage.
...
Since the captain of the Zarcorian Jackals was originally a criminal, he did not hesitate to follow Dylan's orders and named his 10 strongest subordinates, and together with them he began to defeat and seriously injure the rest of his subordinates.
...
Dylan took a chair out of his storage ring and took some treats out of his magic ring and began to enjoy the scene as if he were watching a somewhat gory war movie.
Screams!
Blood!
Screams!
Blood!

The sun was rising, although it didn't shine very brightly due to the winter clouds. Dylan was happy as he watched the thousands of disemboweled and decapitated bodies of the Zarcorians being hung from buildings in the city of Teristan, as he had reached rank 6 Moons (low level).
"I knew it, I couldn't waste the chaos that war creates; I think I should also increase my strength, I just have to do good deeds and I'll have the power of a warrior of 6 or 7 Suns," Dylan concluded, and then began to laugh, which almost caused the captain of the Zarcorians to shit himself.
...
After completing the task Dylan had assigned him, the captain of the jackals approached Dylan and said:
"Your Holiness, we have fulfilled your will. Is the Crimson God satisfied?"
Dylan smiled, which they couldn't see, then replied in a deep voice:
"Yes, he is very satisfied. Now go and consecrate your evil deeds to the Crimson God, who has shown you the ideal path."
Dylan's response made them shudder. But the captain did not hesitate to reply:
"Glory and honor be to the Crimson God alone."
"That's right, my son. You may leave."
"Thank you, Your Holiness."
...
"How easily people can be manipulated when they encounter a frightening figure. That's why that famous book said, 'It's better to be feared than loved'; apparently, it was very true," Dylan concluded as he watched the Zarcorians leave while eating a cupcake.
