Chapter 621: The end of the underworld (II)
The destruction of Ocean Wrath seemed to have turbocharged the Scarlet Inquisition Force, and the number of criminals being arrested rose by a factor of ten, surpassing the million weekly detained at the start of the Inquisition.
This massive increase was due to the fact that Apex now had much more information about the underworld, allowing him to generate target packages around criminals who were much better at hiding.
Of course, the low-level criminals were not really important in the grand scheme of things as they were like weeds; you take one out, and a new one would arise to take its place. That did not mean they should be ignored since these low-level criminals were the ones who did the most damage to ordinary people.
However, it was in the Tier 0 Dark Faction realm that an actual change could be instilled, and before the end of the seventh month since the creation of the Scarlet Inquisition Force, a second of those underground forces was struck.
This time, it was the turn of Earth Fall, a Tier 0 Dark Faction known for its handling of assassination and slave trading. They were not a priority for many of the powerhouses of the empire as Earth Fiend, its Leader, made sure to focus only on the weakest part of the population.
Unfortunately for Earth Fall, the ones that bullied the weak and feared the strong were the ones Apex loathed the most. So, after obtaining the knowledge of Ocean Wrath, he immediately focused on figuring out Earth Fiend's identity.
It took the System Spirit less than two weeks to figure out Earth Fiend's identity, but he could not be hasty. If he killed the man, the rest of the upper echelon would enter in panic, and most likely, they would take everything of value and vanish from the Hyperion Continent.
Apex only gave the green light for the Scarlet Inquisitors to act once he managed to identify the entire upper echelon of Earth Fall and its core infrastructure. The same day that Apex mobilized the Scarlet Inquisitors, a Tier 0 Dark Faction that lasted for over five hundred years vanished.
The news immediately spread across the Deus Behemoth Empire's public network, and the trillions of Deus Behemoths across all Sectors began to celebrate.
Earth Fall was immensely infamous as it had harmed hundreds of millions or maybe even billions of innocent civilians during its reign. Most people could only accept in despair once they or the people they cared about fell under its claws as they were powerless, but now those monsters were finally facing justice.
