Although Tiandu City of Poluo Country was defended, the collapse of the Heavenly Palace brought a lot of trouble to Absek.
It's not just because of the rumors among the people and the opportunistic criticisms from various factions, but also, to a large extent, because of his own reasons.
Like most Poluo people, he inherently carried a superstitious trait, but once he assumed the position of Great Leader, he denied it, even going as far as keeping up with the trend by reciting the materialistic and atheistic scriptures of the Alliance.
At first, it was somewhat effective. Any phrase repeated enough times might give off the illusion of truth.
Especially during the educational reforms, Absek once saw himself as a true material warrior, even mistaking that airhead Kaba Ha as a comrade, forgetting that those reformist officers were his true allies.
However, self-reassurance is ultimately a superficial cure.
