Chapter 93 Chapter 93 “You see the mural at the bottom of the spire…
Lin Miao was surrounded by a tremendous force, and the purple gem on the top of the scepter was madly devouring the chaotic gas around it.
She walked out of the hall and looked up at the horizon, only to see countless demons gathering in that direction. Various magical powers intertwined and converged, densely occupying the mountains on all sides.
In front of the main hall, in addition to the three-headed dog and Cecilia, Mammon and Beelzebub were also dressed in battle uniforms, wearing black and white masks on their faces, holding magic weapons and standing with their heads bowed.
"Welcome back, my Lord."
The four demons spoke in unison, even kneeling on one knee and placing their right hands on their chests in unison.
As Cecia said, even if He disappeared for a hundred years, they would never stop training warriors for Him and harvesting His loyalty.
"Welcome back, Demon King!"
Armor clashed with the ground as millions of demons saluted their king. Deafening sounds came from far and near, high and low, and from all directions, converging into a force that gathered like an overwhelming force, echoing endlessly throughout hell.
Lin Miao raised his arm, and the scepter once again shot out a purple light band, which coiled around the silver chain on Cerberus' waist like a spirit snake and tightened it; the chain struggled in the purple light, and made a "crackling" sound due to being unable to bear the weight, and cracks gradually appeared at the joints, and finally, with a "clang", it completely broke.
The imprisoned half of the power suddenly became free, and tried to probe into the body of the three-headed dog in confusion; after discovering the same source of power and an extremely comfortable environment, it immediately rushed out.
The hellfire quickly overflowed due to the collision of the frenzied demonic breath, burning into a force that enveloped him in a sea of fire.
The human form couldn't bear such a huge impact in such a short period of time. Cerberus let out a wail and immediately revealed his true form.
A giant demon dog about two stories tall, covered in dark brown fur.
The flames raged, and three huge heads were raised high. Pain rolled in the three pairs of eyes, red, gold, and black. The tail covered with hard scales swung, smashing deep pits in the ground.
Then, Lin Miao raised the scepter again, and the light split into three beams, merging into the brows of the other three demons. Purple light flowed through their meridians, restoring memories, repairing souls, and healing old wounds. Then, at a certain moment, their strength was pushed to the limit, and they suddenly broke through!
The scepter pattern on the sky began to disappear, shattering into countless points of light, and jade chips fell like rain, entering the bodies of every demon willing to submit to her; the magic power then began to increase evenly and steadily, and some even awakened their second and third talents.
Lin Miao's voice, empowered by magic, was clearly transmitted among the demons.
"I once was the King of Hell. I didn't seek strength or power, but only that those I loved would be forever happy and those who followed me would be free from bullying."
“So when faced with Heaven’s frame-up, I chose not to argue or explain, but to give in and retreat;
And when that war inevitably broke out a hundred years ago, I saw my subordinates and my people shattered to pieces, the Three Realms devastated by the devastation. I became timid, weak, and tempted to retreat—I thought, perhaps if I could satisfy Heaven, He would let go of everything I wanted to protect and return peace and prosperity to the Three Realms.
"But I was wrong."
"My withdrawal only resulted in Hell being sealed, the Styx becoming a dead river, and Hell being left with almost no grass.
All that happened was that the monsters were exploited, mutated, and made into weapons against us;
It only resulted in a tyrant ruler taking power in the human world, causing suffering, and the conflicts between the three realms becoming increasingly deep and irreconcilable."
"I was wrong, so wrong—"
"So now I'm back."
"Are you willing to trust me once again and follow me to eliminate the evil spirits in the human world, change the rules of heaven, and rebuild a different sacred continent?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the demons on the mountain fell silent.
Suddenly, someone shouted from atop some mountain, "I will follow the Demon King till death." The voice pierced the silence like a rainbow, carrying with it a hint of youthful clarity.
Immediately, the clash of golden spears and the jingling of magical instruments began, and all the demons began to raise their arms and shout:
"I swear to follow the Demon King until death!"
"I swear to follow the Demon King until death!"
"I swear to follow the Demon King until death!"
A smile appeared on Lin Miao's lips. He exerted force on his wrist and swept the staff across with a sharp sound that tore through the air. The thorns on the top of the staff spun away, and the beam of light emitted by the gem turned into a real sharp blade, slashing fiercely at the invisible spiritual barrier covering the sky of hell.
With a deafening roar, spider-web-like cracks appeared on the invisible barrier, and the next second it shattered into countless transparent fragments, which melted away in the devil's breath.
At the same time, a dark purple vortex formed in the sky, faintly reflecting the scenery of the human world. The passage connecting the two worlds suddenly opened in the sky full of demonic light.
"Cheshia, Mammon, Beelzebub, listen to my orders."
"I want you to take your men and go to the human world, eliminate the mutated monsters, and intercept the angels from the lower world. Remember, do not interfere in human affairs, and do not massacre the people of the human world."
"Yes, my lord."
The pink-haired demon jumped up first, the flute in his hand turned into a long bone whip, shaking the bell, and disappeared into the passage with the other demons in the music palace as a stream of light.
Mammon and Beelzebub followed closely behind.
The demons left mountain after mountain, and only Lin Miao and the three-headed dog were left in the empty Demon King's Palace.
The flames had died down at some point, and the gigantic demon dog sat before the Demon King, its front legs folded together obediently, its three pairs of eyes looking at her quietly and lovingly.
Lin Miao could be said to be small against the backdrop of such a large body;
The tiny demon king took a step toward the terrifying giant dog and smiled faintly. "As for you, Cerberus. Would you be willing to lend me a hand first?"
A breath as hot as magma spurted out, and the big dog turned its paws and spread them out towards her.
Lin Miao tiptoed and landed lightly on the flesh-colored platform, and was held up steadily by the three-headed dog.
Cerberus roared to the sky like thunder, and from the mouths of his three heads spewed out a torrent of hellfire. The crimson flames, wrapped in ferocious magic, swept through, and the air seemed to be scorched and twisted into ripples.
With his sturdy limbs, he stepped on the flames and walked towards the Demon King's palace. With each step, the hellfire rose a little higher and moved forward a little, gradually forming a flaming ladder that reached the sky.
Its steps were made of solidified flames, with solid barriers on both sides, the edges swirling with dancing tongues of fire, and the stairs were shrouded in black demonic aura.
The fire ladder goes all the way up from hell, through the sky, and reaches the boundary.
The long, scaly tail swung suddenly, and more hellfire rushed out, piercing through the barrier between the two worlds and entering the sea of stars!
Cerberus watched Lin Miao jump from his paw pad to the fire ladder. The three heads huddled together, just wanting to be closer to her. Their eyes of different colors contained the same attachment and smile.
Loyal to you, trust in you, and love you deeply.
So, do what you want.
After all, after a hundred years of separation and a hundred years of waiting, he is no longer the puppy who needs to be protected and only obeys orders.
The fire of hell paves the ladder to heaven. I will do my best to smooth the way for you, knowing that you will get what you want.
But if something really goes wrong, I am already prepared to live and die with you.
Lin Miao stared at her dog for a few seconds, then turned around decisively, used the fire ladder, and rushed into the sea of stars in a few strides.
*
The texture of the starry sea is a bit like freshly congealed crystal blue jelly, cool and soft. When the limbs move, the blue soft gel immediately dents, then quickly rebounds when released, creating dense ripples in the surrounding stars.
Perhaps it was because the Demon King was born in magma and the starry sea was not his hometown, Lin Miao physically resisted this feeling. She frowned and wanted to climb up.
A slender, delicate hand wearing a white glove grabbed her wrist, and with a slight lift, pulled her whole body out of the jelly.
A vast sea of roses comes into view, crimson and pink, floating in the sunlight, weaving an impenetrable web of fragrance, as if planning to wrap up all light, bees, butterflies and human traces.
The face in front of her was more delicate and gorgeous than flowers, and attracted more bees and butterflies.
“…Michael.”
Unfortunately, Lin Miao was not in the mood to act like a bee or a butterfly at the moment. She said calmly, "Remove the illusion."
“…” Her indifferent face was reflected on the azure sea, and there seemed to be a black fog raging in the depths.
"I'm going to settle accounts with your master now. As for you, you have to line up at the back." Lin Miao struggled with his wrist but couldn't get free. Only then did he realize that the archangel had actually used his spiritual power.
She laughed angrily: "I was so busy beating Mammon that I forgot to beat you, right? If you don't want me to use force now, you'd better let go!"
The archangel knelt, his knees pressed together, his waist, slender and narrow, pinched by the golden seal. He slowly opened his lips, his voice still as clear as a pearl: "This is the Rose Manor you took me to."
"You also gave me a flower at that time."
This is like playing the lute to a cow, completely ineffective communication.
However, this illusion should be the result of the angel's essence and blood. If it is forcibly broken, the person will be injured at best and die at worst, which is not what Lin Miao wants.
She forced herself to suppress her anxiety, looked around carefully, and had some impression of it.
That was when Michael had just started to stay with her. The devil wanted him to be less rigid, so in addition to taking him around in hell, he would occasionally disguise himself and go to the human world with him.
Rose Manor is one of them.
When the devil took him there, it happened that the original owner of the manor had moved away in poverty, leaving the garden full of withered roses.
Since he had come all the way here, what did it matter if he got nothing? So in order to make the beauty smile, the devil used his magic power to reverse the growth of the flowers and make them bloom brightly.
later?
Later, this matter was used by the man who smoothly operated, and became one of the evidences of his crime of disrupting the laws of the three realms, adding fuel to the fire for him to be hunted by Gabriel.
Lin Miao: "Yes, I gave you a flower. I've treated you well over the years. Even if that person is your faith, your persistence, the light you've pursued your whole life, there's no need to stop me at the last minute and end things with him, right?"
"You know it very well." Michael's long eyelashes drooped, and he knelt before her as if praying. "You can actually guess what I want to do."
Lin Miao: “…”
She didn't know. She didn't want to guess.
"You saw the mural at the base of the spire, didn't you?"
