Chapter 298: Embarking on the Journey (4,000 Words Chapter Asking for Votes!)
Cairn City, once a thriving city of refuge, was home to more than half a million people at its peak. But now, the city is deadly silent.
Yes, there are about 30,000 humans living in Kane. But they are living under the rule of the devil and have become slaves of the devil.
Back then, Long Wanshi killed the four demon kings, but he still let the three most powerful demon kings live. They are Mephisto, the Lord of Abomination, Baal, the King of Destruction, and Diablo, the King of Fear.
And the three of them are the three most powerful demon gods in hell. The so-called Seven Demon Kings of Hell are actually only three. The other four demon kings who don't need to know their names are just pulled up to make up the numbers.
According to Diablo, "Seven sounds like a lot, it seems like a lot of power." And the number seven has a magical power that can make people feel fearful. The Lord of Fear said.
So the other four demon kings are actually essentially four for nothing, which is not worth mentioning. Just like the twelve archangels of heaven, there are only five who are truly powerful. They are Tyrell, the Archangel of Justice, Impres, the Archangel of Wisdom, Masayir, the Archangel of Destiny, and Oliel, the Archangel of Hope.
At the beginning, when Long Wanshi was brave, he killed seven of the twelve archangels in one go. The seven archangels, like the four demon kings in hell, are all small characters who are not worthy of their names, and they are also pulled out to make up the numbers.
Why are there twelve archangels?
"For twelve sounds more than seven, and we are overwhelmed by hell in momentum. So said the Archangel of Wisdom, Masayar.
So don't look at Long Wanshi back then, he looked very awesome, he hacked to death the four demon kings and seven archangels by himself, so that Heaven and Hell and the place of refuge have his legends, but in fact, the core power of Heaven and Hell was not damaged at all. As long as it wasn't for the fall of the three demon kings and the five great angels, then Heaven and Hell wouldn't be broken, and they would only need to spend a little time to recover their strength.
It's just some small characters who don't deserve to have a name, just arrange trials for the people below, and then engage in some adventures, open them up, and cultivate for hundreds of years, then you can make up for it.
Today, the city of Cain is home to the Dread Lord Diablo's palace in the Sanctuary. He occupies the royal palace of the human race, and usually transforms into a humanoid activity, but in fact, he is the most insidious and cunning of the three demon gods.
The reason why the demons did not exterminate the human race but took a large number of slaves was because Diablo said to his two elder brothers, "The weapons and tools made by the demons are too crude. We need skilled humans to help us make all kinds of equipment, and we need people to plow the fields and grow food. Low-level demons can eat blood food raw, but relying only on food in nature, our army cannot keep up. Demons also have to eat. Especially the high-level demons, they prefer the best food. ”
The Dreadlord's proposal was approved by the two elder brothers, and the demons made a rule that if they raided a city in the future, as long as the human was less than the height of a wheel (about one meter two), then they would not kill it. Instead, they were kept in captivity as slaves. Work for the devil.
And the angels' side is not much better. Don't look at them fighting demons in the name of justice. But in reality, they have no less control over humans. The way demons enslave humans is simple and crude. The angels, on the other hand, are much gentle, and they directly brainwash humans into becoming fanatical believers in heaven. Willing to give everything, even life, for heaven.
Because the angels promised them that as long as they were human beings who died fighting for heaven, then they could be reborn as angels in the next life.
"Shit of the wisdom of the archangel Masayer. It is even more insidious and cunning than Lao Tzu, and the angels TM are also bred, but they say to humans that angels are all people with untainted souls who are born from the divine pool after being reincarnated into heaven. And the human beings who do evil will be reincarnated in hell and become monsters in the next life. "Diablo, the king of fear, couldn't help but go crazy DISS Archangel of Wisdom.
"Their teachings are so brainwashing. Plus mind control. There are so many people who believe in them. Tut-tut, stupid. Angels, demons, and humans are just different creatures. Although I have a way to turn humans into demons, there is no way to turn people into angels on the other side of heaven. If you think about it, it's more cost-effective to take refuge on my side. Transformed into a demon, powerful and long-lived, he also has beautiful horns, bright red skin, a mouth that breathes fire, nostrils that can spit smoke, and a body full of hard scales. How nice it is to be a demon, why don't those humans understand. ”
The Lord of Dreads was thinking about all of this in his palace in Kane, and he felt that humanity was stupid. How is it a punishment to become a demon? It is obviously a reward! Compared with the illusory promise of becoming an angel, it is clear that it is the pursuit of human beings to transform themselves into demons.
"The human body is fragile, the skin is too delicate, and the facial features are unprotected. Tsk tsk. Although Hua is a human being, Diablo is not satisfied with the human body, but is full of complaints.
If it weren't for himself to appease those human slaves so that they could work with peace of mind, he wouldn't have become a human being.
Diablo's human form is a kind-looking old man with a white beard and white hair, which is very reassuring at first sight. When he laughs, he is kind, just like his grandfather.
He came out of his palace and walked down the streets. The city of Kane is inhabited by high-level demons, not low-level demons like the Sinking Demon. The high-ranking demons all have their own intelligence, they have taverns, striptease places, and even brothels. Here are banshees, vampires, dark believers, and high-ranking demons such as demon lords.
So although there are no humans in Kane City now, it is still very lively.
Seeing this excitement, Diablo couldn't help but pout: "These demons are unwilling to go back to hell now." ”
yes, the days of hell were so hard, filled with boiling lava and boiling hot lakes. The black earth dries up all year round.
While some demons can survive in the lava of a burning hell of thousands of degrees, most of them will be burned to death by the lava!
Why did the demons come to rob the sanctuary? Isn't it because it's more comfortable?
Walking on the street, the high-ranking demons saw Diablo all kneeling down and saluting, and Diablo went straight around the city. As the smartest and cunning of the three demon gods, he didn't go to the front line to fight the angels like his two older brothers. Rather, it maintains operations in the rear.
And after fighting the Hundred Years' War in Sanctuary, the Lord of Dread has a new understanding of Sanctuary.
"It's too small here! It's too small!" Diablo looked up at the sky, where there was a moon and a sun during the day. But he tried, and he couldn't reach the moon or the sun anyway. He flew upwards and met a thick layer of soil.
It took him three months to dig through the hard rocks, but found that he was back on the surface of the Sanctuary, standing where he had taken off.
The Sanctuary is a small world, with light sources like the sun and moon, but an invisible wall obscuring it. The world is so big here. The heavens are high, and the earth is thick.
Actually, hell isn't that big, and so is heaven.
Although Heaven and Hell have been fighting in the Sanctuary for nearly a hundred years, it is surprising that the environment in the Sanctuary is too comfortable and comfortable, so both angels and demons are good. In the past 100 years, the population has increased.
This is what Diablo, the king of fear, fears the most, and now the war on the front line. If the fight against heaven fails, it will be bad. The demons are now accustomed to the stability of the Sanctuary, and they will never return to Hell.
And hell is smaller than a place of refuge, and it simply can't accommodate such a large number of people.
Diablo only felt a pain in his skull, he shook his head, his body was blurred, and the next moment he had appeared on a high mountain hundreds of kilometers away.
"Come out, Masayir. Diablo stood on top of the hill and shouted into the air.
The next moment, ripples writhed in the air, and a female archangel wearing gold armor, a hood, and seven pairs of light wings appeared in front of Diablo. The brim of her hat was pressed low, and her face could not be seen clearly, but her voice was very good, and there was an ethereal and quiet feeling.
"Masayir, I really didn't expect you, the archangel of wisdom, to stand and chat with me, the king of fear. And not a confrontation on the battlefield. The old man in Diablo's incarnation laughed kindly.
But Masayir said: "War is only a means, Diablo. You know it, and I know it. We have been fighting between us for a hundred years, and in fact we are all war-weary. You haven't waged a major war for three years, and we haven't waged a jihad for three years. ”
"Holy war, hehe, will really put gold on his face. Diablo sneered.
"Whatever you say. Diablo, the war between heaven and hell should stop for a while. It won't do us any better if we continue to fight. Masayil said ethereally.
"Stop, can you stop? Your heavens are populated right now, aren't they? Because of the war, you encourage childbearing. As far as I know, heaven is overwhelmed. Now in heaven only the middle and high angels can live. All the low-level angels have been driven by you to live in the sanctuary, right? ”
"Your heavens are good. At least your paradise itself is a good place to stay. But we demons aren't as lucky as you. Burning Hell is not a place for demons. There are no demons at all who want to go back. Even many demons have dragged their families to live in the sanctuary. And the place of refuge is only so big. If your people have more space, we will have less. ”
Diablo says the key: "That's all there is to it. If you don't rob it, we will rob it too, do you think we have the possibility of a truce?"
Masayir was speechless, and it took a while for her to speak: "Eliunus used the World Stone to stand in the Sanctuary, and now the World Stone is in your hands. Together, we can find new worlds. When the angels take refuge, you demons can move to the new world. ”
"Hahahaha! You heaven is really shameless. Why did my two brothers and I cede the land to you, why didn't the angels move out of the sanctuary?" Diablo roared, and the huge demon body instantly flashed, it was a red demon, more than seven meters tall, surrounded by flames and covered with beautiful sharp horns. The muscles are solid and ferocious, wrapped in red skin, with a long tail and a standard demon face. Diablo is the number one handsome guy in the demon world.
"We can't move out of sanctuary. If you want to move out, you will move out!"
Masayr shook his head: "Is war inevitable?"
Diablo nodded: "Unless a new world appears in front of me right now!"
As soon as the Lord of Fear's words fell, a pillar of light flashed into the long-abandoned magic array of Kane City. The shining white light shot straight into the sky, instantly dispelling the darkness of the original midnight, and the city of Kane was as bright as day within a radius of hundreds of miles.
"Is it the light of the World Stone?!" there was a hint of panic in Masayar's originally calm and ethereal voice.
But Diablo blurted out: "There is a new world and the World Stone link!" The next moment Diablo withdrew from his demonic form and once again turned into a kind old man.
He said to Masayir kindly, "Dear Archangel of Wisdom, a new world has emerged, whatever the reason. Would you like to work with me? I think we can sign an armistice for a few years. ”
Masayar looked at Diablo with a complicated expression, and finally left only one sentence: "I will consult with the other four angels." With that, the figure turned away and left.
And Diablo also appeared in Kane City the next moment, and the high-level demons in Kane City were all startled by the sudden flash. And at this time, the appearance of Diablo is undoubtedly the appearance of the backbone.
Several Demon Lords have stepped forward to ask the Lord of Fear, what should we do now?
Diablo only said, "Throw me the low-level Sinking Demon, Blade Demon, Sinking Mage, Zombie, and Skeleton to see." Let's see what the hell is going on!"
Hell is so straightforward. The lives of low-level demons that can be mass-produced are worthless. At Diablo's call, Kane City gathered tens of thousands of Fallen Demons, Blade Demons, Fallen Mages, Zombies, and Skeletons in a short period of time. There are also a small number of Dark Wanderers and Dark Archers. Diablo gave the order, and the first Fallen Demons embarked on their journey to the New World!
PS: Ask for tickets at the beginning of the month. In addition, it is gratifying that some book friends have finally discovered the meaning of the name [Piero, Lord of Westmar]. Piero was a Spanish adventurer (marauder) who destroyed the Inca Empire and killed the Inca king.
