There is no doubt that the birth of the "Angel of Khorne" Zariel completely overturned the cognition of Martinot, the Lord and Chief of Hell.
Because he had never seen a devil who could use holy positive energy, and he was an absolute big devil in his own unique form.
After all, common sense in this universe is that positive energy tends to be good, while negative energy tends to be evil.
But Zuo Si overturned all of this with the help of the oil! Especially when he saw Zariel open the portal to test his own combat power and rushed into the seventh layer of the abyss - the Phantom Realm to kill people, Martinot immediately understood that the "Daughter of War" was still the "Daughter of War" and not a righteous and kind angel.
Its desire for war, killing and bloodthirstiness has not diminished, but has been hidden beneath its seemingly bright appearance.
Just like the succubus queen Mecanthus hides her seductive and corrupt nature in pride, holiness and beauty.
Although she no longer looked ferocious and fierce as before, the beautiful expression with a faint smile on her face and the scene of her whole body bathed in blood and minced meat made people feel fear and terror from the bottom of their hearts.
What was even more incredible was that the Devil's army had been attacking for days but had failed to capture the huge fortress, but Zariel easily broke in on his own.
The heavy armor on her body was enough to render most attacks ineffective. She didn't even need to dodge. She could just withstand the enemy's attacks and then kill them with a hammer.
Thousands of demons were powerless to resist the violent attack (all attack methods carried sacred damage that restrained evil and chaos), and wherever they passed, there were corpses, limbs, broken organs and bones everywhere.
Seth Innek, the Lizardman Lord who was under heavy protection of this level, was as fragile as a newborn baby in front of the "Angels of Khorne" who had become the lords of Hell's subsidiary levels.
It took less than three minutes from the start of the fight to the dismemberment into more than a dozen pieces. The whole process should not be called a fight at all, but rather one-sided torture, abuse and violence.
The former let out a desperate wail before his death, and even one of the "Eight Demon Generals" who was in charge of commanding the devil's army's attack, nicknamed "Baalzefen the Iron-Hearted", couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.
Because it’s so miserable!
This high-ranking pit fiend, who held some power similar to that of a lord and could decide the promotion and demotion of the devils in his legion, watched helplessly as the demon lord Seth Ineke was first pierced through by a spear and nailed to the wall, and then was repeatedly beaten with a hammer and a flail, until his hands, feet and twenty fingers were smashed into meat paste.
If you think that's the end of it, you are totally wrong!
In fact, this is just the beginning! The huge circular rack behind Zariel is full of various weapons.
The most eye-catching one among them is an enchanted chainsaw that is several meters long and emits a piercing roar.
Yes!
You read that right!
Because of the power provided by the gasoline engine, high-tech cold weapons such as chainsaws and jet-powered hammers are all included in the "Khorne Angel Deluxe Package".
The effect...
Nature goes without saying.
Even the devils who followed him into the fortress did not dare to approach this big devil who radiated holy light all over his body but was a hundred times more evil than themselves.
The scene was so bloody and brutal that countless body parts even piled up into a small hill, and below were streams and rivers formed by the blood.
Zariel himself stood on a sea of blood and corpses, holding high the head that he had ripped off from Seth Ineke's body. In full view of everyone, he processed it into a horrifying ornament while maintaining its original shape, and then embedded it into the heavy external armor.
Embedded with it was the struggling and wailing soul of the Abyss Lord.
Soon, after being infected and transformed by the No. 1 Shining Oil, he appeared in front of all the demons present with a brand new look.
It's a form of pure energy somewhere between intangible and corporeal, composed entirely of white mana.
It clearly possesses independent consciousness and thinking, but is completely under Zariel's control, and possesses many of its spell-like abilities and combat skills from its lifetime.
It’s just that the original attributes of evil, chaos, filth and poison have all been replaced by sacred attributes.
You don't need to ask to know that this is the special ability that Zariel gained after his transformation.
She can devour the enemies she has defeated and killed, and then transform into a heroic spirit-like being to assist in the battle.
Once the surface of the extremely heavy power armor on his body is embedded with skulls containing souls, he alone is equivalent to an army.
Coupled with the nearly unlimited healing and recovery capabilities granted by white mana, it is simply the most terrifying existence on the battlefield.
In fact, this Khorne Angel did just that.
After the battle, she began to pick and choose around, finding high-level demons such as the Balrog and the Six-Armed Snake Demon, cutting off their heads and embedding their souls into the surface of the armor.
After a while, the surface of the armor, which was originally full of high-tech, was densely covered with demon faces of various expressions and shapes, looking extremely eerie and terrifying.
But what’s interesting is that when these eerie and terrifying things are combined with Zariel’s own sacred light, they actually produce a strong sense of weirdness and contrasting beauty that cannot be described in words.
When she returned to the ninth level of hell, Martinotte felt her scalp tingling, and her eyes were filled with fear, terror and incomprehensible complex emotions.
However, Zariel ignored the steward of the Lord of Hell and walked straight to Zuo Si, knelt on one knee, raised his still holy and innocent face and said affectionately: "Father. According to your instructions, I have destroyed the demon's fortress and killed the most powerful lord of this level. Do you have any other instructions now?"
Zuo Si reached out his hand and stroked the long hair of the Khorne Angel, which was as white as snow and spotless, and responded with a smile: "You did a good job, I am very satisfied.
Now I will give you one million newly transformed inferior demons and enough energy distribution authority. Go to your own level and use the No. 1 spark oil to build an invincible army.
Remember, before the legion is built, you cannot leave the ninth level at will, and don't join the attack on the first few layers of the abyss too early.
Because our target has never been the trash that has been abandoned by the will of the abyss, but the real enemy in the triple realm. "
"Understood! Don't worry, my army and I will never let you down."
After saying this, Zariel gently kissed the back of Zuo Si's hand, then stood up, spread his three pairs of wings, and flew directly down from the top floor of the skyscraper.
Under the devil's efficient administrative system, she quickly brought a sufficient number of inferior demons and marched to the second subsidiary plane - Karacatus.
Different from the beautiful, luxurious, romantic, indulgent and hedonistic style of Shendiravel, this subsidiary plane is mainly composed of endless plains, and there are even three dazzling white suns hanging in the sky.
There are plenty of rivers, animals, and vegetation, and it doesn't feel like hell at all.
With Zuo Si's deliberate transformation, this place is filled with white mana, which symbolizes the ultimate lawfulness.
After entering this level and being affected by the extreme magical environment, those twisted inferior demons began to quickly shed their ugly shells, gradually becoming strong and handsome men and sexy and beautiful women, and their bodies were filled with sacred energy.
Some sufficiently powerful individuals will grow white wings on their backs, becoming almost indistinguishable from the humanoid angels in the upper planes.
But the really scary thing is that if someone casts camp detection magic, they will find that they are emitting a red aura that symbolizes evil.
However, this angel-like form obviously cannot satisfy the warlike Zariel.
So she quickly threw the No. 1 Sparkling Oil into an extremely huge deep pit, and activated her lord authority to continuously inject energy and matter, allowing it to grow rapidly in a short period of time.
When a certain scale is reached, the large-scale completion ceremony will officially begin.
As the evil angels with beautiful appearance jumped into the sparkling oil, a mechanical army wearing power armor was born.
The higher the level of the devil, the bigger its body is, the more powerful its oil engine is, the thicker its armor is, and the more powerful its weapons are.
Especially those who were promoted by Zariel to the highest level as "Angels of Slaughter" and "Angels of Tyranny", who could even transform into gigantic war machines of more than ten or twenty meters in length by absorbing the bodies of the fallen soldiers of the Legion and the wreckage of siege equipment.
In addition, Zariel also applied for a lot of materials transported from the bloody battlefield to create soulless cannon fodder servants.
从这一点就不难看出,一号烁油与六号烁油最大的不同之处就在于,它改造的特点是尽可能增加身体里金属所占的比例,让完化后的个体更加适应残酷的正面战场,而且彼此之间具有很强的统一协调能力。
相比之下,六号烁油更强调的是隐蔽、尽量不破坏其生物原本的外貌特征。
当然,对于这些正在卡拉卡图斯发生的变化,马蒂诺特完全一无所知。
眼下,他正跪在自己主人的面前,将之前看到烁油侵染的过程和扎瑞尔完化后的状态,一五一十的汇报给阿斯摩蒂尔斯。
后者在听完所有内容后,很快便浮现出了感兴趣的表情,摸着下巴问:“这么说,索斯所掌控的烁油,的确有改变一个生物心智乃至灵魂的力量?”
“是的,主人。而且被改造后的生物个体会像崇拜神一样崇拜索斯大人,深深的爱着他,愿意为他献出自己的一切,甚至包括生命在内。”
马蒂诺特小心翼翼的给出肯定答复。
“哈哈哈哈!有意思,真是太有意思了。想不到扎瑞尔居然会被改造成一个掌握着神圣力量,但内心之中却仍旧嗜血残暴的恐虐天使。我非常想知道,上层位面那些老朋友在看到这个结果后会作何反应。”
阿斯摩蒂尔斯咧开嘴发出一阵充满嘲弄的笑声。
要知道他最讨厌的就是上层位面的家伙打着所谓“救赎”的名义来自己这里挖墙脚。
而“战争之女”扎瑞尔正是他们重点关注的目标之一。
但现在的扎瑞尔显然已经没有了任何被救赎的可能。
不管派出哪位神侍前去,最终结果都只有一个,那就是肉包子打狗有去无回。
要么被烁油侵染并成为恐虐天使身边最得力的手下,要么被斩杀、头颅和灵魂镶嵌在铠甲上变成一个半死不活的英灵。
“主人,您真的打算把那些被流放的大魔鬼都召集回来接受烁油的洗礼吗?”马蒂诺特用不是很确定的语气试探道。
“为什么不呢?”阿斯摩蒂尔斯意味深长的反问。“与其放任他们在外面游荡成为一种不稳定的因素,还不如废物利用将其重新纳入掌控,然后派去干一些力所能及的事情。”
“可一旦接受烁油的洗礼,他们的效忠对象就只有一个,那便是索斯大人。”
马蒂诺特谨慎的提醒了一句。
可去阿斯摩蒂尔斯不以为意的摆了摆手:“无所谓。只要是能强化地狱位面的力量,对于我来说就是稳赚不赔的事情。
麻烦你再跑一趟阿佛纳斯,把在那里流浪的阿扎泽尔、阿梅勒斯、比丝特、卡奥尔、盖因、杜斯库尔、贾昆、库柯比伊尔、阿撒佐、玛拉瑞亚、尼斯若克和瑞姆迦统统都给招募回来吧。
至于借口,就用地狱眼下正需要更多有经验的领主来统治新占领的深渊位面。
每召回一个就立刻把他们送到索斯那里去。
注意保密,千万不要让其他领主知道这个秘密。”
“如您所愿,至高无上的地狱之主。”
马蒂诺特单手抚胸鞠了一躬,随后便再次启程前往第一层面。
由于遭到放逐的大魔鬼多数都在这一层面流浪,因此他的工作可以说是相当的不轻松,光找人就要花费很长一段时间。
但好在阿佛纳斯现在已经不再是血战的主战场,所以安全还是有一定保障的。
就在这位总管启程的时候,第九层面的领主大厦顶层,左思正在会见一位特殊的客人。
他的名字叫做隆尼尔,是一位拥有伯爵头衔的大魔鬼,同时也是整个位面唯一连锁快餐店——麦食唐奈的所有者。
伊尔明斯特就曾经在自己的著作《巴托地狱消费指南》一书中盛赞过,有着“朱庇莱克斯家外之家”美称的麦食唐奈,是九狱所有饥饿人类冒险者最棒的选择,没有之一。
其门店遍布第九层的各个角落,标志性的招牌是硫磺色的拱门。
特色美食包括“带菌奶昔”、“强泻炸块”、“腥臭牛汉堡”、“鲨化鱼人肉三明治”等等。
不仅物美价廉,而且好吃到让你想甜腿。
而且这位伯爵非常善于经营,在服务于魔鬼的时候还不忘吸引来自物质位面的凡人,并贴心的为其提供了“儿童套餐”。
确切地说,儿童餐面对的是所有身高不满两米一三的“小”顾客。
享受专人招待愉快用餐体验的同时,还可以获得一份额外的精美小礼物。
不得不说,在这个充斥着阴谋诡计的世界里,还能有如此温暖贴心的服务,实在是让人感动到想要流泪。
当然,前提是那些食物能再正常一点就好了。
因为根据左思得到的信息,这家餐厅出售的腥臭牛汉堡,如果客人在点餐的时候没有指定用真牛肉,那么吃下去之后大概率胃和肠子将会剧烈痉挛两天,就好像中毒了一样。
至于究竟是什么肉,那就只有店员和厨师自己知道了,反正肯定不是物质位面的牛肉。
另外面包片也硬的像石头一样可以砸死人。
除此之外,用地狱特产“赫尔达尔茎块”炸出来的强泻炸块也如同其名字一样,会带来强烈的腹泻效果,足以让一个成年壮汉拉到脱水死亡。
带菌奶昔则有可能引发不适症状与疾病,但通常来说不会致命。
鲨化鱼人肉三明治更是会混杂着这种生物锋利的牙齿,凡人不小心一口咬上去,大概率会把自己牙齿硌碎。
有些家伙甚至会用牙齿来作为飞镖或者箭头的替代品,其锋利与坚固程度可见一斑。
左思觉得,伊尔明斯特之所以强力推荐这家快餐店,完全是因为地狱里能让普通冒险者在极度饥饿情况下吃了还不致命的食物真的不多。
还有一点就是,对方的确能把糟糕的食材通过烹饪变得可以下咽,甚至是让人觉得味道还不错。
此时此刻,隆尼尔正站在大厅内滔滔不绝阐述着自己的经营理念,并且还不断推荐左思品尝一下几道招牌菜。
但遗憾的是作为塔洛娜的选民,后者几乎一眼就看穿了这些食物的本质,以及其蕴含的危险性,立刻抬起手打断道:“好了,亲爱的隆尼尔伯爵,我想我已经明白你的来意。简单来说,你就是想要取得在我领地内建设连锁快餐店的许可,没错吧?”
“正是如此。请放心,我会按照规矩把利润的一半上交给您。”
这位长相和外形看起来都十分另类、猥琐、一点都不吓人的大魔鬼赶忙用力点了点头。
之所以说另类,是因为隆尼尔整个脸看起来就像是大猩猩一样,眉骨和颧骨都格外凸出,头发更是倒立着一根根竖起如同扫把一样,身后的翅膀又小又破跟假冒伪劣的装饰品如出一辙。
再加上背心、坎肩、大号圆头皮鞋的装扮,看起来充满了滑稽感,简直就像小丑一样。
而且武器也相当另类,居然是一根粗壮巨大的红色香肠……
从散发出来的奥术灵光判断,其附魔等级和威力应该跟+2的棍棒差不多。
不过如果有人胆敢因此而小看他,那可就大错特错了。
因为隆尼尔是一名非常古老的大魔鬼,代表着凡人对于食物的贪婪与渴望,可以通过能力让目标陷入无法抑制的饥饿感,属于不折不扣的类神力。
“不,我不需要你上缴利润,只要按照正常规矩照章纳税就好。
不过在我这里开快餐单,食物原料和菜单必须换一换。
毕竟我这里来自其他层面的生物和凡人数量会非常多,所以不管是餐饮还是娱乐都必须是最好的。
唯有如此,他们才会沉迷于其中不知不觉走向堕落。
另外,我需要你的力量来加持整个城市所覆盖的范围。
让所有进入这里的生物无论是否需要进食,都会比其他位面更容易产生饥饿感,从而激发他们潜意识中的暴食欲望。
当然,作为回报,我可以给你一个很高的职位。”
左思非常干脆的提出了招揽对方的意向。
可能是由于隆尼尔并不擅长战斗,而且地狱中的魔鬼也不需要进食的关系,这位掌握着类神力的大魔鬼处境并不好。
哪怕有着的地狱伯爵的头衔,其待遇也跟那些被放逐的大魔鬼没什么区别。
既没有被阿斯莫蒂尔斯委以重任,也没有被其他任何层面领主招揽,只能靠开快餐连锁店的方式勉强维持微不足道的影响力。
所以当听到一人之下万人之上的地狱储君发出邀请,隆尼尔两眼立刻放光,用略带激动的语气问:“您……您打算给我什么职位呢?”
“我打算让你来做一名高级顾问,负责整个第九层面的食物生产、运输、加工、制造、烹饪和餐饮等方面的工作。
内容也很简单,就是要打造整个宇宙最顶尖的美食之城,让每一个造访的凡人都对这里流连忘返。
Of course, we must also take into account the lower-class people who have little money.
If you do well enough, I can consider raising your title to Duke and making you the exclusive steward of the realm.
However, those [non-servant demons] under your command who serve as waiters and waitresses should not join in.
I have other plans for them.
By then, I will have enough succubi, fascination demons, and lust demons, and combine beauty, food, wine, beautiful scenery, and endless entertainment activities to achieve the best corrupting effect."
When saying this, Zuo Si's tone was strong and unquestionable.
Because he was not discussing with the other party, but announcing his decision in another way.
Lonniel bowed deeply with one hand on his chest in a very exaggerated manner.
Looking at the huge city rising from the ground outside, he had a feeling that he would be able to make a big splash here and make those level lords and devil dukes who looked down on him regret it.
“Here, here is the situation of the ninth level and the five subordinate planes.
You can now start planning to open up farmland in suitable locations, grow crops, and raise livestock, poultry, and various types of fish.
In fact, I have already sent people to make some plans in this regard in advance, and you just need to take over.
If you need help, go to Mekanthut, the ruler of Shendiravel.
She will allocate sufficient large machinery and slaves to assist you in completing this series of tasks."
After saying this, Zuo Si quickly issued a letter of authorization with his own seal.
moment!
Lonnier was accepted into the ruling system at this level and was placed in a relatively high position.
He was extremely grateful and threw himself into his work with great enthusiasm.
It is not difficult to see from the skilled cooperation between the various departments that Zuo Si has recently recruited quite a number of talents who have taken the initiative to come and join him, and among them are important members from the courts of lords at other levels.
Obviously, many of these guys may have accumulated a lot of resentment, so they want to change their environment to get more promotion opportunities.
But others were probably spies planted to steal intelligence and secrets.
This is a very common phenomenon in hell politics.
Almost every level of lords and devil dukes have spies from enemies and allies around them.
However, most of the time everyone keeps it a secret, and occasionally they use spies to spread false information in order to cover up their true thoughts and intentions.
And because of the lawful nature of Hell, these spies will do their jobs well after obtaining their positions and will not engage in passive resistance or sabotage internally.
Because from the moment they join, their promotion and demotion are controlled by the lords they are loyal to.
But Zuo Si obviously didn't care about these spies, let alone the other eight lords snooping into his secrets.
Unless they are baptized by the Shuo Oil, these foreign demons will never be able to truly enter the core circle.
Once the opponent's spy is baptized by Shuo Oil, he will automatically become his counter-spy.
Just when Zuo Si had finished dealing with the messy matters and official documents at hand and was preparing to take a break to relax, a pleasure demon with long golden hair, wearing a black low-cut shirt, a short skirt and black stockings, and a pair of five-inch high heels walked in from outside.
She had a charming smile on her face, her lavender eyes flashing with endless temptation and joy, her plump red lips were always moist, and her steps were elegant and full of temptation.
Needless to say, this high-level devil, who was promoted from a lust demon not long ago, dresses like this in order to cater to the overall style of the huge cyberpunk city and the unique aesthetics of Lord Zuo Si.
In addition, the origin of the pleasure demon in front of him is not ordinary.
Her name was Gramir, and she was the offspring of the current fourth-tier lord, Lady Firna, and her biological father, Grand Duke Bilel, who was also the previous lord who was abolished during the liquidation operation.
The Paradox criminals only dared to play tricks on the rules in the game, but now they are directly playing out the real version in hell.
This is truly the case of “my daughter’s daughter is still my daughter.”
After all, after being deposed by Asmodeus as Lord, it was not difficult to understand that in order to keep his power, Grand Duke Bilel chose to have something happen with his daughter to make the relationship between them closer.
You know, there is no law in hell that says this kind of behavior is not allowed.
As for the ethical and moral values in the mortal world that are created to ensure the genetic health of offspring, they are obviously not applicable to the devils.
However, as a mother, Ms. Firna secretly gave birth to Gramir without telling her father, and made sure that her daughter would not have any affair with any other devils, wanting to use her as a secret weapon.
But Archduke Biller, as the father, knew nothing about this.
This time, Ms. Philna sent her precious daughter here to conclude an alliance so that she could use external forces to break free from her father's control at the critical moment and become a true lord, rather than just a willing puppet.
"My dear Lord, you must be exhausted, right?"
Gramil put down the documents in his hand, walked up to him with elegant steps, pressed the back of Zuo Si's head against his chest, and stretched out his slender fingers to gently massage his temple.
Zuo Si was enjoying the service of this "secretary" with a clear conscience, and asked directly: "Has there been any major disturbance or any matter that needs my personal attention?"
"No, not really. It's just that the Lord of the Second Plane, Grand Duke Disbart, sent someone to give you a small gift, a very special inferior demon."
The corners of Gramir's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile.
"A very special inferior demon?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Zuo Si's eyes.
Glamir nodded slightly: "Yes. The name of this inferior demon is Aigris. I think you should be impressed by him."
The next second...
Zuo Si instantly recalled the exciting night in Dragonspear Castle and the scene where the Hell Demon led many demons to launch a surprise attack from underground. He couldn't help but smile and exclaimed, "It turned out to be him! Grand Duke Disbart is really thoughtful."
"What are you going to do with this stupid and pathetic little thing? Degrade him to an insulting demon and order him to clean up the stinking cesspool for the rest of his life? Or find an excuse to make him into a living work of art of pain and place him in the most conspicuous place in the city to remind everyone of the consequences of being your enemy? Of course, you can also hand Aegris over to me and slowly train him until he becomes a vicious dog loyal to you."
When talking about torture and abuse, Gramiel seemed particularly excited and agitated.
Because under the upbringing and education of her mother, Ms. Philna, although she looks beautiful, gentle and intellectual on the outside, she is actually an out-and-out sadist at heart.
Although his position was the lord's exclusive secretary and he was mainly responsible for clerical work, he basically stayed in the torture chamber when he had nothing to do, enjoying the painful howls of mortal souls when they were tortured and squeezed.
It is said that even professional devil interrogators praise Gramir's skills and welcome her to come and guide newly promoted devils who lack interrogation experience at any time.
Seeing this pleasure demon eager to try, Zuo Si immediately smiled and shook his head.
"No, no, no, don't think I'm that petty.
The feud with Aegris ended the moment I killed him and banished him back to Hell.
Most importantly, I have no intention of using the power in my hands to retaliate against him.
Because it is too low-level, too boring, and too lacking in structure.
Just the opposite!
I plan to restore Aegris's original identity as the Pit Fiend and entrust him with important tasks.
Let all the demons in hell see the breadth of mind and generosity of me, the crown prince of hell."
"Let him go? Are you sure you're not kidding?"
Glamiel raised an eyebrow in surprise.
You must know that there is no such hypocritical and self-deceptive practice as "forgiveness" in the philosophy of hell.
Any devil, if given the opportunity, will use all the strength at hand to attack or counterattack the enemy, and there is no such thing as showing mercy.
And even if you show mercy, the other party will never be grateful. Instead, they will think you are weak and can be bullied, and then wait for an opportunity to retaliate against you in a more severe way.
"Of course I'm not kidding. I'm serious now. Go and bring Aegris here. I want to talk to him in person."
After saying that, Zuo Si casually patted the Joy Demon's round butt wrapped in her short skirt.
Gramir immediately responded with a charming glance, then turned around and left, twisting her slender waist in her high heels.
About a few minutes later, she walked in with Aigris in the form of an ugly inferior demon.
Because they were just demoted, they are not as lacking in wisdom and self-awareness as ordinary stupid inferiors.
The moment he saw Zuo Si, his eyes suddenly revealed fear and despair, as if he had foreseen his tragic fate in the future.
Similarly, the devil also understood why Grand Duke Disparte suddenly demoted himself without any warning.
"Long time no see, Aegris. Do you remember what happened when we met last time?" Zuo Si asked with a smile.
"I'm sorry, Lord Soth. I was just following orders at the time. I didn't know your special identity and your extremely important position in the eyes of the Lord of Hell."
There was helplessness and bitterness in Aegris's tone.
Otherwise, he would rather risk failing the mission and being punished than offend the crown prince of hell who was second only to the emperor.
"So you know that you are a tragic political victim, right?" Zuo Si continued to ask on his own.
Aigris sighed deeply: "Alas - yes, I am not a fool, how could I not understand this truth.
In order to avoid conflict with you, Grand Duke Disparte threw me out as a scapegoat.
This is not a rare thing in Hell, it happens all the time.
I have never resented you or Grand Duke Dispart. I only hate myself for not being smart enough to notice the truth behind those clues in advance.
Please tell me, what are you going to do with me? Are you going to demote me to a lowly demon with insulting nature, or let me be responsible for the dirtiest and most menial work for the rest of my life? "
"Haha, no, Aegris, I don't plan to retaliate against you, but I want to re-activate you."
As the last word came out of his mouth, Zuo Si raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly.
Snap! After a crisp sound, a huge amount of energy instantly poured into Aigris' body.
Before he could react to what was happening, the fragile body of the inferior demon exploded instantly, and blood and internal organs splattered everywhere.
Even the bones were crushed by the invisible force.
If a mortal saw this horrifying scene, he would probably be frightened out of his wits in a matter of minutes.
However, if you look closely, you will find that in the midst of blood and mess, there is a small worm that is devouring the flesh and blood in ecstasy, and directing huge energy to fill every cell.
Then a brand new and huge figure slowly emerged.
After a full sixteen hours, Aegris returned to his previous form as the Hellfire Fiend.
Feeling the powerful and familiar force returning, the devil who had been demoted in a short period of time burst into tears. He knelt on one knee and solemnly swore: "Great Crown Prince of Hell, Supreme Lord of the Ninth Plane, I swear on my life and soul that I will always be loyal to you and will never betray you. From now on, you are my master and the object of my service."
"See, what did I say? Even the devil in hell would have some gratitude." Zuo Si teased with a smile to the Joy Demon standing next to him.
Gramir rolled his eyes in annoyance. "My dear Lord, I assure you that his gratitude is real, but the question is how long it will last. If he is not promoted for a long time, he will start to accumulate dissatisfaction and resentment in his heart until one day he becomes a traitor."
“It doesn’t matter.
If that day really comes, I will give him the corresponding punishment according to the rules of hell.
But now, Aegris, I appoint you as a special envoy to go to the second plane to express my gratitude to Grand Duke Disbart.
And told him clearly that the insignificant little misunderstanding between us had been resolved.
He and his wife Lilith are always welcome to visit us.”
After saying that, Zuo Si handed over a document that he had prepared in advance.
Aegris quickly took it with both hands and responded in an excited tone: "Please rest assured, I will complete this mission successfully and will never let you down."
"Very good! Let's go now. When you come back, just report to Glamir. She will arrange a new job for you then."
After saying that, Zuo Si waved his hand to signal the other party that they could leave.
After watching the Hell Demon disappear into the elevator of the building, the Delight Demon whispered meaningfully in his ear, "My insidious and cunning Lord, you played this trick beautifully.
Not only did he gain a loyal subordinate in the short term, but he also took the opportunity to demonstrate his broad-mindedness and magnanimity.
If nothing unexpected happens, more demons will come here in the next period of time, bringing with them the resources and intelligence they have.
And these things can greatly fill in where we are currently lacking.”
Zuo Si stood up and looked at the scenery outside the window. Without turning his head, he said, "As a politician, you must have a broad vision and a high enough perspective, and abandon unnecessary personal emotions and grudges. Otherwise, you will never accomplish anything great."
"Yes! It seems that after so many failures, my mother has finally found the right ally."
After saying this, Gramir bent down and bowed gracefully, then left the room.
When the door slammed shut, the Succubus Queen Mecanthut instantly teleported in, staring at the Pleasure Demon who was walking into the elevator with hostile eyes, and asked in a cold tone: "Father, do you need me to deal with this guy who dared to have intentions towards you?"
"No, there's no need. Why do you think Ms. Philna sent Gramir to me?" Zuo Si asked back with a playful look on his face.
"Because...she wants this beautiful devil to seduce you, or even go a step further and become your spouse?"
Mecanthus blinked uncertainly.
But Zuo Si shook his head and explained, "Neither.
Gramir is the son of Lady Fierna and her father, Archduke Bilel.
Therefore, she has the purest and uncontaminated blood of both, and her existence itself is a very terrifying weapon.
One of the secret agreements I reached with Lady Felna was to use Glamir as a vessel to perform an evil and horrible magical ritual when needed.
Use her blood, life, and soul to curse Archduke Belial, causing him to become inevitably weak and powerless.
In this way, Ms. Fierna will be able to take the opportunity to contact her allies to launch a palace coup and take back all power from her father."
"I see! She is also a consumable, or a sacrifice.
No wonder this guy, who was promoted from a lust demon to a pleasure demon, has never had sexual relations with any demon.
This cursed magic ritual will only be most effective if she remains pure.
Virgin pleasure demon? It sounds really ironic."
The Succubus Queen pursed her lips and a sarcastic smile appeared.
“Remember, my dear daughter.
This is hell.
The biggest difference between the devil's schemes and demons is that their actions and thinking are more covert, and they often aim to cause as little violent conflict as possible.
If you want to join this game, or even win it, you have to learn to be patient.
In particular, do not reveal your truest thoughts, even just a little bit.
From today on, the internal and foreign affairs of the ninth layer of hell will be left to you.
I will leave a comment here.
If it is not necessary, it is best not to wake him up easily."
After saying that, Zuo Si took off all his clothes and equipment with skillful movements, and transformed them into card form.
