Chapter 91 Lucifer, God and Demon!
Before leaving, the player didn't forget to retrieve the Parademons and Fallen Angels from their in-game inventory. The Mother Box battery was completely depleted, and the Omega Ray, distorted twice by the Black God, was practically unusable. Aside from Jason's High Caste Blade, which remained intact, only the Parademons were any real fighting force. Given the current rate at which players craft in-game items, if they didn't start saving, they'd be out of options. Head-on confrontations were out of the question; they'd be just scraping by with these items.
Go back and ask the cheat supplier, World Consciousness, to add some more cheats to increase the intensity of the Fourth Calamity. Then you can easily defeat the gods and demons.
While Wen Yue was still dreaming about the future, she couldn't laugh when she landed on the land of the destroyed divine body. [What's going on, the world consciousness?] Wasn't she supposed to be going straight home? Is it a routine to stop by here on the way back?
[Lucifer doesn't want to leave; He wants to see you.] This is an exclusive, encrypted dialogue channel between the world's consciousness and the player.
Maru, before she even got home, her creditors were already blocking her door. Wen Yue was truly terrified. She felt a little guilty: "[Is He here to settle scores? I'll definitely pull Him (out of hell) out of here later, there's no need for this...]"
It's perfectly reasonable for Lucifer not to want to be the Lord of Hell. Players know God's original plan: to have the Silent Angel and the Staggering Angel temporarily manage the key to Hell, so Lucifer could continue to work as a detective in the mortal world without the burden of official duties.
No, He simply wanted to see you. Lucifer hadn't seen God in a long time. Since Lucifer led the angels in rebellion and was exiled to Hell, He rarely received a response from God. And after He left Hell and went to Earth, God seemed to have vanished and never appeared again.
At that time, players began to take over as God, becoming a hands-off manager. The world consciousness would help oversee and handle God's affairs until it was imprisoned here after a struggle with Barbatos, and Heaven was completely left to its own devices.
What goes around comes around. The player's eyes were lifeless, devoid of any light. [Help! Where did the original God go on his travels? I'll go help Lucifer bring Him back!] No! This tangled web of parent-child relationships—the player refused to join. She desperately wanted to escape, but couldn't…
"Don't worry, God has already anticipated this situation and has prepared a solution. Now you are karmically connected with God, and in everyone's eyes, you are God's human side," the World Consciousness comforted you.
There is only one God, but He comprises the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, a triune entity sharing the same divinity, forming three facets of the single God. In this soul state, the player is seen by others as the Holy Spirit, the source of God's love.
【Isn't that leaving absolutely no room for maneuver, making me take the blame without giving me any chance to clear my name? It's really a disaster...】 The player was punished by the unethical God, and the Fourth Calamity was framed by heaven. Wen Yue felt bitter, desperate, and burst into tears.
Now that things had come to this, Wen Yue, with her exceptional ability to regulate her emotions, began to address the problem. [The Sword of Eden in Lucifer's hand looks familiar?]
[God controlled the archangel Gabriel to kill himself with the Sword of Eden, thus severing his ties with this world and completely detaching himself from its influence. He then erased Gabriel's memories, leaving behind his divine body.] The world's consciousness calmly stated: [Afterwards, He entrusted the Sword of Eden to Lucifer for safekeeping and passed the throne of God to you.]
"He really knows how to play the game." Wen Yue exclaimed in admiration, "He's truly thoughtful..." Her tone was calm, yet carried a profound meaning.
[By the way, the shell you gave me is a bit cracked, a minor flaw, and mainly doesn't look very good. Could you please fix it for me? I'm entrusting it to you, reliable world consciousness.] At this moment, the player is in a soul state, a ball of white light, handing over their body from the game inventory to the world consciousness for repair.
[...] The world consciousness looked at the messy shell, distorted and corrupted by the power of the Black God, and pondered as it examined the unrecognizable data inside: Minor flaw?
Wen Yue conjured a blurry humanoid shape from white light and stepped out of the safe zone.
"Little bird, is this your toy?" Lucifer, holding the Barbatos with its myriad brilliance sealed within, tossed the black opal in his hand far away. "Alright, catch."
“Heh.” The raven’s beady eyes revealed a clear look of contempt, and its small body stood motionless in place.
"Raven isn't your Cerberus, don't tease her like that." Wen Yue reached out and gently beckoned in the air, putting the black opal into her game inventory, and stepped closer.
“I thought you had disappeared.” Lucifer looked at the player’s blurry figure. The God before him was as unfathomable as ever.
“Indeed, I am Omega, not Alpha.” Every wrong has its perpetrator, and Wen Yue is also a victim persecuted by God. If there’s a problem, go find the original owner; the player won’t take the blame.
"You are the beginning and the end."
"Don't mistake me for someone else, I am not Him." The player resolutely defended his reputation.
“I know you are incomplete now.”
"No, I'm too perfect." So perfect that I've been completely messed up.
"This is Raven, and this is Lucifer," Wen Yue introduced the two as a middleman.
"Hehehe." Raven had no liking for Lucifer, who was treating him like a dog. He grabbed a bottle of wine from his magical space, gulped it down, and arrogantly blew bubbles at Lucifer. His expression was wicked and arrogant, and he was just missing a big gold chain and sunglasses. He was playing the role of a bullying social crow online.
Lucifer squinted: "I like her." Legend has it that wine is the blood of Jesus, and this raven, which represents the incarnation of Satan in the Bible, has good taste.
"?" Raven immediately stopped bullying and didn't want this M to have any fun.
"..." Wen Yue hadn't expected things to develop this way between the two.
"Morpheus has been racking his brains over the Key to Hell for a long time. If you no longer want to manage Hell, I'll arrange for two angels to take over: the Silent Angel and the Staggerer. What do you think?"
Previously, Lucifer, seeking revenge on Morpheus, entrusted him with the Key to Hell before leaving. Morpheus, the Lord of Dreams, now possesses the Key to Hell and controls all the demons of Hell. With Hell's blessing, the Dream Kingdom's power rapidly surpasses that of other realms, posing a threat and leading to an alliance of other realms against it. Morpheus is now in a dilemma, overwhelmed by the situation. Even if he were to give Hell away, he would offend others; either choice would bring trouble.
Wen Yue asked Lucifer if He had taken enough revenge on Morpheus. The player did not want to interfere in the matter between the two of them, and turned a blind eye to the chaos in Hell after Lucifer abandoned his post.
“It doesn’t matter.” Lucifer said meaningfully, “I thought you were going to let me continue managing Hell…”
"If God's desire for control is really that strong." Whether it was the original God or the current player, they both adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards children.
"It doesn't matter if you like being on Earth; God never intended to imprison you in Hell forever." Wen Yue pulled the holy sword from the ground with one hand and returned it to its rightful owner. God's act of entrusting the sword of Eden, which had killed God, to Lucifer was itself a clear indication that Lucifer could now move freely between light and darkness.
Lucifer accepted the gift with both hands, gazing at the player and nodding slightly.
A spiritual fluctuation, the authority of God and the ethereal evening bells echoed melodiously, and the Great Caste Blade in the game's inventory trembled slightly before shaking violently. Wen Yue suddenly looked up—Jason was in mortal danger.
[World Consciousness...]
[Received, shell repaired, you may leave.] The world consciousness is also constantly monitoring the condition of the Bat family members.
"The situation is urgent and I need to leave immediately. Do you want to come back with me?" Wen Yue asked Lucifer before leaving.
"Of course." The three figures transformed into streaks of light and disappeared into the distance.
As night deepened, the four ran through the empty streets. One by one, the streetlights behind them went out, and the thick, inky darkness drew closer. Countless demons, filled with endless malice, chased and mocked them.
Constantine, running at the front, turned back panting, "Damn it, I'm really curious what you found that could cause so many demons to swarm out. Can't you tone it down a bit?" The last person to make such a big fuss was Officer Angela. This Jason, as a detective, has started a new season and broken records.
“It’s better than you using the priest as bait. Why don’t you be more careful with other people’s lives?” Jason brought up the rear of the group. “Don’t you have a fragment of Moses’ robe? Bring another Burning Exorcism and let these mad dogs behind us see what’s what.”
"You think it's wholesale? Those are limited-edition holy relics that can be used as trump cards. Where would you find so many?" Constantine dragged Angela along as they ran, deeply regretting that he shouldn't have gone out for a late-night snack today and run into this plague.
"There's no escaping it, I heard it, I heard it..." The fat priest looked flustered and tried to take out a drink from his pocket to numb himself and calm down.
Jason shoved the fat priest's hand holding the bottle down and hissed, "At a time like this, don't worry about drinking. Quickly put on your Trinity necklace for self-defense."
“Okay, okay.” The fat priest then reached into his breast pocket, took out the amulet, and put it on.
“Listen, I’ve investigated thoroughly. The demon Mammon wants to be resurrected and turn the world into hell. The mastermind behind it all is Gabriel. The angels and the demons made a deal…” Jason turned and revealed the truth to everyone. Mammon is the embodiment of greed, one of the seven great demons of Hell. Gabriel is the current archangel, possessing all-seeing eyes, which is why he was able to detect their deal and plan being leaked so quickly.
"Damn it, shut up." Constantine's eyelids twitched wildly, his sixth sense was giving him a frantic warning, and the gray-winged angel that appeared in front of him made him suddenly stop running and raise his hand to block everyone's way.
Constantine was heartbroken and despairing. He closed his eyes, lit another cigarette, and mumbled, "Alright, no need to run anymore, we're surrounded." If he had just had a little time to prepare, things wouldn't be so passive. Now that Jason has summoned the big boss, the situation is clearly heading towards our doom.
“Being attacked from both sides is not good for us. Forget it, I'll handle it myself.” Jason clicked his tongue, took the Bible from the fat priest, and read aloud: “In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, all evil begone, Amen.”
Constantine rolled his eyes: "Exorcism can't be that simple... what the fuck?"
