Chapter 82: Hell Pact
Lucifer, the most powerful archangel, the Dawn Star!
Dante's "Divine Comedy" and Milton's "Paradise Lost" mentioned that Lucifer led a third of the angels to rebel in the north of the heavenly realm because he refused to surrender to Christ the Son, and after three days of heavenly battles, Lucifer's rebels were finally defeated by Christ, and fell into the chaos for nine mornings and dusks before falling to hell, and finally became the king of hell.
Legend has it that He possesses six-sevenths of God's power, and although it is unknown whether it is true or not, there is no doubt about its strength.
However, whether it is history books or myths, Earl Douglas has always maintained a considerate and skeptical attitude, neither taking it all true nor all false!
In addition, Earl Douglas also keenly captured a key word, sleep, which couldn't help but remind him of the words of mysterious existence in the long river of time.
The people who have slept in the long river of time will eventually return one by one......
Could it be that this Monarch of Hell has also awakened from the long river of time? And his first words explain exactly where this place is.
Hell!
Of course, Earl Douglas will not blindly believe because of a word or two from others, believe it or not, half and half.
"Your Majesty, Lucifer, the Monarch of Hell, I wonder if there is anything we need to do when you have invited us here?"
Earl Douglas's tone was very respectful, although he still had doubts in his heart, but he did not have the strength to question the other party.
Mariteth was also full of doubts, she was not afraid of Earl Douglas, but because the gap between the two sides had not yet reached the level of awe that made her fearful, but in the face of the legendary Monarch of Hell, the situation was different.
She's still alone after all.
Even God is not without reverence in the face of something more powerful than Him.
"Of course, it is my grace to serve me, and you should be honored to do so, but I don't like it when people stand and talk to me, ...... is the posture you should keep the most. ”
Lucifer on the throne of bones put away his lazy look, sat upright, his face gradually became serious, and an invisible momentum rose from his body, infinitely taller, as if he was eyebrow with heaven and earth, and an invisible and substantial, extremely powerful oppression arose, making Count Douglas and the two of them have a trance feeling as thin as ants and as light as duckweed.
Rumble!
The heavens and the earth shook, the wind and clouds were chaotic, and a scarlet thunderbolt and lightning tore through the thick clouds like mountains, crossing the sky, and a thunderbolt rested, and then another thunderbolt fell.
Rolling thunder roared and reverberate.
The thunder and lightning fell more and more rapidly, and the thousands of branches reflected the scarlet of the heavens and the earth, setting off the supreme authority of this hell monarch.
The sky collapsed in the minds of Earl Douglas and the others, and their shoulders seemed to be pressing on a mountain of ten thousand feet, and they didn't even have the slightest strength to resist, so they "poofed" and fell to their knees.
The extremely humiliating posture made the two of them feel a strong sense of resistance in their hearts, however, there seemed to be invisible shackles around them that could not be seen or touched, imprisoning their bodies, so that they could only listen to the words of the Hell Monarch above in this posture.
Lucifer looked ahead with a distant gaze and muttered:
"As you can see, Hell is empty, I have awakened from a long slumber, my strength has not yet recovered to its peak, and due to some kind of restriction, my true body cannot fully descend into your world, and the souls of both of you are pure and dark, which I like very much, so I want you to become my apostles of hell on earth. ”
"You now have two choices, one, sign this Hell contract and become my Hell Apostle, and two, accept the Scarlet Thunder Blow, and I will release you from Hell in life or death. ”
Two black, old, four-cornered scrolls fluttered and landed in front of the two of them, and wisps of dark blue flames rose from them, burning and dancing, turning into words they knew.
This Hell Monarch...... It's really ungentlemanly.
Count Douglas was shocked and angry, and finally turned into a helpless sigh in his heart, thinking that he had originally wanted to invite Mariteth to establish the Dark Council today, paving the way for his ambition to reign in the world.
Of course, if the white girl had refused his polite invitation full of gentlemanly demeanor, he would have left her gentlemanly demeanor behind and turned her into a tonic for his own strength.
The Hell Monarch invited them here for tea, and gave them a multiple-choice question that seemed to be one of the two choices, but they didn't actually have to choose!
Me, it's so hard.
Mariteth was sweating profusely, and she also began to curse her mother in her heart...... What is the difference between this Nima and a forced contract?
However, the fist is not big, and I don't want to be struck into slag by lightning, of course, what do people say...... What is it?
The two lowered their heads and patiently looked at the content on the contract scroll, because in film and television novels, demons and devils often take advantage of the text loopholes in the contract to sell the contractor for blood, kidneys, wives, and souls....... The two of them, who didn't want to follow in the footsteps, looked at it very carefully, turning it over and over, and almost chewed the contents of the contract.
And then......
The two found that this contract, except for the extremely unequal treaty of unconditional obedience to the orders of the "Monarch of Hell" Lucifer, seemed to be all about employee benefits.
For example, the person who signed the contract can communicate with Hell at any time and apply to enter Hell at any time, there is no doubt that this is a safe and secure way out, and for example, once a year, the permission to temporarily borrow the power of Hell cannot be accumulated, which is equivalent to a temporary explosive skill, and the most exciting thing for the two of them is ...... By signing this contract, they will gain a wealth of transcendent knowledge, including meditation methods, dark magic, curse magic, and summoning magic......
There are a lot of small benefits similar to five insurances and one housing fund.
Tempt!
No wonder human beings can't stand the temptation of the devil, all because...... This was so tempting that the resistance of the two of them had submerged a lot.
Especially Earl Douglas, the old gentleman of the British Kingdom, has sold his soul to the evil god consciousness of the ghost island before, and now he already has some meaning of breaking the jar and breaking it, it's just that selling one's life to one person is selling, and selling one's life to two people is also selling...... He decided, let's take two salaries!
"It is an honor for Douglas Griffin to be the Apostle of Hell on Earth under the Lucifer Crown, and I would like to thank you for your generosity in giving me such a precious opportunity!"
The smile on Earl Douglas's face was unusually sincere, and he couldn't fault it in the slightest, and the scroll described the way in which the contract was concluded, and without hesitation, a drop of blood oozed from his fingertips, dripping quickly......
The blood dripped on the contract, setting off a circle of ripples visible to the naked eye, and the next moment, the beating blue flame text turned into a raging flame and spread towards the four corners of the scroll, burning the entire contract scroll to the ground, turning into a blue spark and floating into the air, and finally slowly dissipating.
The next moment, Count Douglas suddenly felt that he had some kind of strange connection to this world, and a great deal of transcendent knowledge came to his mind.
Mariteth was also willing to become an apostle to hell under Lucifer's crown. After several changes in complexion, Marites took a deep breath and finally made the same choice as Earl Douglas.
"You have made the right and wise choice, my apostle!"
Watching the two of them sign the Hell Contract one after another, the corners of Lucifer's lips slightly hooked up an imperceptible arc, in fact, accepting these two people to keep his Hell Monarch from becoming a bare-bones commander is only secondary, his main thing is to covet the power of Earl Douglas......
No, to be precise, it was the power that gave him the kind of change he had now!
Lucifer had a strong intuition in his heart that when he devoured this source of power, he would make a qualitative change in his life level, and this ...... It will become his original capital against the Creator!
