The moment he saw the half-open black coffin, An Qingyu's heart twitched violently.
He stared at Lucifer in silence for a long time, still supporting his body with his hands, and moving slowly towards the huge mouth of the devil in front of him.
"You can't go!" Ghost Jiang Er stood in front of An Qingyu and spoke firmly.
"It's useless, Jiang Er." An Qingyu shook his head. "Even if He doesn't use your body to force me, we can't escape from here. Instead of doing that, it's better to keep things simple. Maybe there will still be a glimmer of hope."
Lucifer is simply not on the same level as them. Facing thousands of Mi-Gos, he might be able to escape by relying on his intelligence, but in the face of absolute power, they have no chance of winning.
He could only try his old tricks again or surrender.
An Qingyu passed through Jiang Er's ethereal body, pushed hard with both hands, and fell into the huge mouth of the air demon.
He only felt a flash before his eyes, and the world around him spun around, and a powerful force locked onto his body, suspending him in the air in front of Lucifer.
Lucifer saw An Qingyu was so aware of the situation and smiled.
"Yes, you are smart."
Waves of time and space disturbances rolled up around An Qingyu. He frowned and stared at Lucifer, and said in a deep voice: "I will go with you. You can let her go."
Lucifer raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his lips became more obvious, "Okay."
He loosened his left hand, and the half-open black coffin fell straight down. Jiang Er's magnetic field lifted it up remotely, and when it was about to fly away from Lucifer, the air around it suddenly twisted!
A ferocious demon face opened its huge mouth and bit the half-opened black coffin fiercely. The already broken black coffin exploded instantly!
Crunch, crunch—
A sharp tearing sound rang out in the air, and An Qingyu's pupils shrank violently. Countless black coffin fragments mixed with blurred flesh and blood were chewed and crushed by the devil. The hideous face was twisted wildly, as if laughing silently.
The ghost Jiang Er, who was not far away, was startled. He looked down at his gradually fading body, and pursed his lips slightly...
"Are you looking for death?!!!" The devil's chewing sound seemed to tear An Qingyu's heart into pieces. He turned his head sharply and looked at Lucifer. His eyes, which had always been calm and peaceful, burst into unprecedented rage!
"I let her go, but she didn't leave on her own." Lucifer seemed to enjoy An Qingyu's pain and rage. He took a few greedy breaths and chuckled as he said,
"Don't you know that making deals with the devil never ends well?"
Lucifer's words pierced An Qingyu's heartstrings. His eyes were extremely red. As the air demon completely swallowed the black coffin and Jiang Er's body, an unprecedented flame seemed to ignite from his chest and burst him to pieces!
As if he had sensed An Qingyu's gaze that wanted to eat him alive, Lucifer's eyes showed a playful look, and he spoke slowly,
"Don't look at me like that. You are an important tool to awaken the [Key to the Gate]. I won't kill you... but if you anger me, I will make you live a life worse than death. Since you have the ability to regenerate, it shouldn't be difficult to imagine what I would do."
Lucifer waved his hand casually, and an air demon emerged from behind An Qingyu. It bit An Qingyu, and its sharp fangs pierced his body like thorns, holding him tightly in its mouth, like a vicious dog holding its prey.
Severe pain filled An Qingyu's mind. His limbs and torso were all pierced by the fangs, and he could not move at all. However, he seemed to be completely unaware of the pain and glared at Lucifer's back.
“Lucifer——!!” Scarlet blood slid from the corner of An Qingyu’s mouth, and he growled hoarsely.
Swish——!
A fang pierced An Qingyu's lung, and the whole person was gasping for breath like a broken bellows, unable to utter any words. If it were a normal person, he would have died from such injuries, but with An Qingyu's regenerative ability, he was still not in danger of death.
Lucifer, with his dark wings on his back, glanced at him and said calmly, "If the [Key to the Gate] is here, then I will accept it. You are just a lackey of the Gate of Truth, and your status is no different from mine...
How dare you, a weak human being, call me by my name?"
An Qingyu was nailed on the devil's fangs and couldn't utter a word. He just stared at Lucifer, his vision gradually covered by blood.
"Qing Yu!!" When the ghost Jiang Er saw this scene, an unprecedented murderous intent burst out from her eyes. She completely ignored the powerful aura emanating from Lucifer and rushed towards His body at a rapid speed!
"It's just a lingering magnetic field... Do you really think I can't smash you to pieces?" Seeing this, Lucifer narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his fingertips, and pointed forward in the air.
Boom!
A dull roar was heard from the air, and the next moment, a thread-like arc-shaped ripple spread rapidly.
Lucifer's fingertips suddenly stopped halfway, and he looked back suddenly. He saw that the air demon that had originally held An Qingyu's body had turned into a blood mist, and an indescribable breath diffused from it.
It was like a savage who had just crawled out of an underground cave and suddenly saw the boundless starry sky. It was a kind of panic of the vastness and unknown. At this moment, he suddenly felt that his existence was infinitely shrunk, like a grain of sand.
"The Gate of Truth..." Lucifer looked as if he had thought of something, and his expression suddenly turned ugly.
In the drifting blood mist, a red figure staggered to his feet. The space and time behind him were violently disturbed. In the distance, the corner of a portal shrouded in mist was vaguely visible.
On his bloodstained face, An Qingyu's eyes slowly opened, and his left eye had already turned into a dead gray.
The moment he saw that left eye, Lucifer felt a sharp pain in his head, as if the existence of the entire solar system was compressed in that gaze, pouring madly into his mind. The horrifying knowledge and truth almost tore his sanity into pieces.
Lucifer quickly looked away, no longer looking directly into An Qingyu's eyes. He frowned tightly and spoke in a cold voice:
"It's just that I activated a corner of the Gate of Truth... Do you think you can defeat me with this?"
An Qingyu's face turned pale. He didn't say anything, but raised his right hand shakily and pressed Lucifer in mid-air...
In an instant, countless intricate lines spread wildly from An Qingyu's palms to the surrounding void. As the palm lines spun lightly, a mysterious force descended from nowhere and instantly enveloped Lucifer's body!
Lucifer frowned and was about to take action when the world in front of him became strangely turned upside down and disordered.
If He saw His own body, He would find that He was like a disrupted Rubik's Cube, with His head rotated to the left shoulder, His right leg rotated to the position of His head, one eye moved to the sole of His foot, and the other eye simply shrunk into His abdomen...
Two hands, two feet, six black wings, ten fingers, internal organs... It was as if an invisible giant hand deconstructed and reorganized His original biology. Within just a few seconds, He turned into a completely twisted and grotesque ball of flesh.
