Chapter 79 A fatal word
Pride and lies, the authority of the demon king Lisgaz is naturally in these two areas.
The core is arrogance.
Pride is one of the seven deadly sins, and it is the most serious of them.
Disrespect for God, cruelty to others, abuse of power, excessive obsession with oneself, etc. all fall into the category of arrogance.
From this, the Duke of Anjou has also realized that what has happened in York during this period is not just limited to the hunter's cautious approach to the prey.
All of this is still a qualification.
Qualifications for launching a challenge.
It is arrogant of the priest to want to trade Andy and think he is in control of the situation.
It is arrogant for the butler to abuse his power to suppress Andy and even fall into the power trap and lose himself.
It is arrogant for the rebel organization to forget its principles for the sake of profit and think that they can save everything and rise rapidly after reaching a deal.
The York royal family acted recklessly, treating their subjects without scruples and with contempt, which was also a form of arrogance.
Even the two of them, as the emperor and the duke of the empire, had also been arrogant in their attitude towards York and their perception of Andy...
However, the facts at hand prove it.
Everyone, including them, was fooled by Andy.
Deeply trapped in their own world, they think they understand everything, but now they find that everything they judged before was false!
Different people's different plans and goals could not be achieved at all...
Therefore, those arrogant attitudes became ridiculous self-righteous behaviors, which not only produced no results, but also highlighted Andy's power of overlooking everything from the clouds.
But isn’t this also a kind of arrogance? Arrogance to the extreme, like a dramatic effect, allowed him to enter a place that others could not enter or even find, and he had the qualifications to challenge the demon king Lisgaz.
Just the qualification.
As a demon king, Lisgaz has no worries about his lifespan.
It is thousands of years old and must have committed countless similar acts over the countless years. Otherwise, it would not have been able to wield such arrogant power.
Based on everything Andy had done before, he was only barely qualified to challenge it.
But this qualification allows Andy to ignore the Demon King's guards and reach him unimpeded...
Considering that Andy is a very mysterious person, his methods are incomprehensible.
It is hard to say whether his challenge is an overestimation of his own abilities or he has some kind of trump card that makes him confident in seizing power.
In other words, there is a chance that he will get out alive.
However, realizing this did not make the Duke happy at all.
After coming back to her senses from her trance and shock, she felt even more depressed.
"Only beings from hell are qualified to become demon kings."
She slowly said, "Even if he was not a hell creature before the challenge, he will be transformed into a hell creature after the challenge is successful."
Hell is the common enemy of all mankind, and is also a hostile force that the Empire is trying every means to suppress and block.
So the situation is now very clear.
Andy failed the challenge and could not escape death.
If the challenge is successful, he, who should have been a hero of the empire, will become their enemy! And whether he succeeds or fails, the arrogant demon king is about to come and set off a terrible disaster, which is inevitable...
"Unless Andy succeeds in the challenge and gives up on becoming the Demon King."
The Queen suddenly said, "This way, he can survive and Lisgaz can die on the spot."
give up?
The Duke of Anjou had no expectations of this.
Let’s not talk about how difficult it is to challenge a top-level existence.
Even if Andy succeeded, would he give up such a powerful force? The Devil, the ruler of hell.
Power and strength are among the top ones in this world.
That almost infinite lifespan is what countless people desire.
Successfully challenging this would mean truly ascending to the sky in one step and becoming one of the rule makers of this world!
In this case, giving up the throne of the Demon King...
The Duke pursed his lips and said nothing.
The Queen had different ideas.
Andy won't give up, sir?
If the challenger was Andy himself, the boy who had been tortured by illness for many years, it would be impossible for him to give up.
But what if the challenger is not Andy, but Mr.? In fact, only someone like Mr. is truly qualified to challenge a demon king.
Moreover, he is mysterious, his origins are a mystery, and his personality is not impulsive.
Since you have initiated the challenge, you must be confident that you can win.
So, will you give up, sir?
She thought about this question for a moment, but gradually lost her confidence.
Because the gentleman seemed to have told himself this answer at the very beginning.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
He calls himself a rebel...
"Be prepared to fight the enemy."
The queen then shook her head and gave up the unrealistic fantasy.
"But there is no need to be pessimistic. Things are not going to get to the worst."
"You mean?"
The Duke raised his eyebrows when he heard this, thinking that the Majesty in front of him had confidence in Andy inside.
But the other party’s answer was not like that.
"It's very strange and abnormal that the devil appeared here. I am sending people to investigate this."
"While this challenge is ongoing, perhaps we can find a way to expel it back to hell."
…
In fact, this is indeed abnormal.
If they could see what was going on inside, they wouldn't even be pessimistic.
Because he looks terrifying, he is a great demon that causes changes in the celestial phenomena.
In fact, it is just a dying being who escaped from the dangerous place of hell and lingered in the human world...
After entering the pyramid and reaching the bottom without any obstruction, what Andy saw was a strange place.
In the dim light, a strange throne stood on the black altar, and the altar seemed to be floating in the void of the universe.
The surroundings were chaotic, dark and empty. There was nothing except a large number of spider-web-like golden lines.
A floating stone staircase connected the altar to the platform at the edge of the portal where Andy was.
The stone steps were intermittent, and the space below was deep and dark, like a terrifying abyss.
If you walk on it, the timid ones would probably be too scared to move.
However, Andy was not afraid of heights, so he walked slowly forward as if he were walking on flat ground, his eyes fixed on the figure sitting on the dark gold throne not far away.
The great devil who moved countless people in the outside world now looks skinny, ugly and hunchbacked, as if a human body was burnt.
It slumped over on the king's seat, with its head drooping, looking extremely weak.
If he didn't speak, he would look more like a charcoal-black mummy.
"You are not dead..."
Seeing Andy approaching, the mummy made a difficult and unbelievable sound, "You, you have planned all this in advance?"
"In fact, if I hadn't happened to come to York, I would have almost forgotten you."
Andy said this as he was already approaching the throne.
Then, under the horrified gaze of the paralyzed mummy, he lowered his head and uttered the first and only word of challenge.
"Long time no see, my loyal captain of the guard."
