When Ash saw the third magnificent palace built deep in the sea trench, he was not surprised at all. Since the second level of hell was a deep blue world, the demigods' residence could only be placed in the sea.
"That's it."
Death Maniac climbed over the palace wall and looked down at the lake below, which was as bright as a full moon. Only in the magician's world could one see such a scene in the deep sea below 80,000 tons of seawater.
"The wonder of the Bone Wolf Palace, the Water Moon." Death Maniac said calmly, "The series of miracles I created were all derived from this wonder. When I first saw it, I realized that it was the shortcut to my swordsmanship breakthrough. In order to take this wonder, we spent three months planning and calculating... Now you can take it directly and give Sonia a surprise."
Ash received Shuiyue into the Soul Heaven and asked curiously, "You guys? Did you and the Observer act together in hell?"
"We were forced to live in disgrace." Death Maniac shook off the ash from his cigarette and said indifferently, "At that time, everyone knew that we had taken away a part of the Supreme Holy Grail. There was no place for us to rest in the whole hell, no one to trade with, and we couldn't even enter the "Forbidden Hunting Area". "
"Although I don't trust the Viewers either, and we both covet each other's Holy Grail, we have worked together several times before, so we have some basis for cooperation. We can only be vigilant against each other while going through hell."
Ash walked into the Bone Wolf Palace, carefully searched the supplies inside, and asked, "Like us?"
"Except for the number of people, how are we similar?" Si Kuang said with disgust, "We are only together because we have no choice. If the environment is better, I would rather be wandering alone. Even if you don't have the pressure to survive, I'm afraid you won't separate, right?"
"It's hard to say," Ash said self-deprecatingly, "It may seem arrogant of me to say this, but if I'm not here, they will probably go their separate ways and never see each other again, right?"
Death Maniac was rarely silent for a moment, and after a long while he slowly said, "If I have to say something similar, it's probably only this... It is precisely because of the spectators mediating that we can... I don't want to use the word "cooperate", but during the long escape from hell, although the pressure of survival is full and every day is uncertain, we rarely quarrel among ourselves. Even if there is a sign of quarrel, it will be quickly suppressed by the spectators."
"He is indeed gifted in leading villains," she snorted, "He is simply the savior of villains."
"Hey, there is actually one calamity here. If there are two more, we can go to the third level of hell." Ash found the treasure box containing the calamities in a secret compartment and asked curiously, "In your opinion, what kind of person is the viewer?"
"Honestly, I've been trying to find a more offensive word than 'beast' to describe him for so many years, but everyone seems to think that this is the most serious accusation, which makes me quite regretful." Si Kuang bit his cigarette, with a strong disdain on his face: "Calling him a beast, I think it's too easy for him."
"What did he do?" Ash asked.
"I won't talk about the big things, it's hard for you to understand, let me just talk about a small thing." Death Maniac said: "When I was a mortal, I worked with him for a period of time. Then, I don't know whether he wanted to control me or for some other reason, he sent...his subordinates to Fanxing to kidnap my mother."
Ash was startled, and suddenly remembered Sword Princess's bond item, "Death Mad Sword Princess's Silver Coin".
"Did he succeed?"
"Of course not. If he succeeds, even if I am eaten by the gods of hell in the next second, I will kill him this second." Death Maniac said, "You understand his style of doing things, right? He is different from the Phantom Flame. Although the Phantom Flame is despicable, she is obviously a scumbag. You know to be careful when you see her, but the Spectator is different. Before you see his true face, he is still very deceptive. Even if you see his true face, he can still deceive you a second time... One of the reasons why the Black Demon became crazy is that he once had fantasies about him."
Ash fell silent after hearing this and turned to look at the glass curtain wall of the partition area next to him. A dim and blurry reflection was staring at him inside.
"To put it simply, it's your sincerity paired with Vichy's viciousness." Death Maniac sneered, "If you're that curious, you and Vichy could have a child, maybe you could raise a beast of that level."
Ash stopped, looked at her intently, and said calmly, "What do you mean?"
"Isn't my meaning obvious enough?" The Death Maniac squinted at him, not disguising his disgust. "Forget about the witch and the silver lamp, you were so inexperienced at the time. But Vichy? Are you an idiot?"
"I thought you would be able to return to normal after losing your memories of Vichy, but you ended up getting stuck in it? Were you imagining that you could dig some treasure out of the mud?"
"If you have a big objection, you can disappear and let someone else communicate with me." Ash put his right hand on the hilt of the sword, "I welcome your concern for the sword princess, but I do not accept your right to interfere in my life, and I will not accept... your insults to them."
"You want to fight me for Vichy?" The Death Maniac's eyes glowed red as she slowly drew out her sharp blade. "For a scum who has done so many evil things?"
Ash looked at her quietly, the source of power surged in his soul, the wonders shook the world, and the magic spirit screamed. The two confronted each other for a moment, and the dead man slapped the hilt back, and the sword guard and the scabbard collided with a crisp sound, and continued to move forward: "If you don't find it embarrassing, I find it boring."
"Not even an apology?" Ash asked.
"You're so annoying." Death Maniac glanced at him sideways, "I won't apologize to a demon like the Ghost Prophet."
"At most I can apologize to the child who has to endure the fact that his mother is a demon...if demons are really qualified to give birth to children."
Ash sighed, followed the footsteps of the Death Maniac, and said, "I actually thought I would meet other people this time, such as... the Observer."
"You can't meet him. When the two of you meet, only one of you will survive."
"Why?"
"Because the vastness of time will force you to merge." Death Maniac said: "If you were still a mortal, maybe you could still meet, but you are a demigod now. Liujinhe will remember you. You are unique in all timelines."
"A mortal is just a drop in the golden river. When it splashes up into the air, that is its life. When it falls back into the river, it will disappear without a trace. But demigods are different. Theoretically, demigods are immortal species that can reach the end of time. Therefore, demigods are gems in the golden river, washed forward by the endless time."
"The five of us are walking against time, which is a loophole that shouldn't exist. Time will not allow two Ash Hiss or two Sonia Servi to exist at the same time, so once you and the Viewer, and I and Sonia meet, it's over."
"As for why I am the one to receive you..." Si Kuang blew out a smoke ring, threw away the cigarette butt, and put his hands in his pockets, "It's simply because other people are not interested in chatting with you."
"real?"
Death Maniac sneered and said, "What else? Do you think you can take down the Black Mirror Demon just like you took down the Witch Silver Lantern and the others?"
"Just like I'm curious about them, I think they're curious about me too..." Ash shrugged, "And I've never had that thought. I always thought you two might be... But now it seems unlikely that you two will develop feelings beyond friendship... Maybe not even friendship."
Death Maniac blinked his eyes, hesitated for a moment and said, "That's not the case."
"ah?"
"The viewer was married to the mirror demon." The dead man's smile revealed a hint of subtle mockery: "It was a very formal wedding ceremony, and there were even wonderful entertainment programs."
"What!?" Ash was shocked and asked, "You've only been with the Mirror Demon?"
Without saying anything, the Death Maniac raised his hand and slapped Ash on the head, gritting his teeth and saying, "Ahaha, only in this aspect, the viewer is indeed not as good as you beast, are you proud?"
"Don't just hit them, tell me about their marriage in detail!"
"There's nothing much to say. I don't care. Besides, they divorced before they were promoted to demigods." Death Maniac stopped and took out a cigarette from the cigarette box. He said unhappily, "But it can be considered as a lingering relationship. After all, they have been acting together since then... At least Mirror Demon has never given up on redeeming them until now."
Ash continued to light his sister's cigarette and asked, "So... do they have children?"
“Never heard of it.”
"I've actually always been curious, can demigods have children?"
Death Maniac frowned: "Why do you ask? Who do you want to be with--"
Yeah, who else can he have children with?
Before the witch separated from her sisters, no matter how crazy Ash was, he would stick to his bottom line;
The silver lamp is a deity and does not have this function;
It is impossible for Vichy to be so shameless;
After thinking about it, there is only one possibility...
The dead man put the cigarette in his mouth, clasped his hands together to stretch his muscles, and walked towards Ash calmly. Ash blinked and subconsciously took a step back, "Wait, why are you here again? At least give me a reason!"
"Reason?" Si Kuang suppressed his anger and said, "It's like you traveled back to your childhood and saw yourself playing in the park. Then a naughty bad boy pushed you to the ground, took off your pants, pulled out the rubber band inside and used it as a slingshot!"
"This is totally different! I'm not bullying Sword Princess!"
"But you will still take off your ass."
