Chapter 44: Hell
The temple of demons, where Satan dwells in the deepest part of the prison, is said to be the root of fertility, others say that it is the place of the most luxurious depravity, and those who believe either believe it are afraid and pray for the fallen king who rules over thousands of demons.
At this moment, the Demon King of Hell, who was feared by thousands of living beings, was staring at the things on the table with a tightly knit brow.
Those were three documents that had just been sent by the head attendant, and things like this were rarely on his desk.
Unlike the human world, which relies on an expansive bureaucracy to maintain social order, the political system of hell can be said to be extremely simple. Satan reigns over Hell as the supreme ruler, and there are seven kings below him who rule over all aspects of Hell, each representing one of the original sins of mankind. In addition to the "arrogant" Asmol who was killed by Michael in the Chaotic Land, the "furious" Asora, who ruled the True Red Hell, and Baylis, who led the Nightmare Legion "Lust", there are also the "greedy" Lofko, the "lazy" Morpheus, the "jealous" Shaliye, and the "gluttonous" Barberet.
Satan, who reigns at the top, and the seven demon kings under him, plus the seventy-two demon gods under the king's command, have established a perfect order of strength in hell. The Seven Kings have the right to adjudicate on any matter in the realm, so in most cases there is no need for Satan to intervene personally, unless they are faced with a problem that cannot be solved by the power of a single king, they will be sent to the Temple of Demons in the form of a document to be ruled by Satan.
Of course, the seven kings all possessed power enough to stand above all demons, so there were very few things they could not solve. Satan, on the other hand, has even fewer chances of receiving the paperwork.
As for the situation of three documents being delivered to him at the same time, as it is today, it can be said that there has never been one in Satan's memory.
His gaze slid over the three documents on the table in turn, and he had just listened to the chief attendant's briefing to know the general contents.
The first document is a report from King Baylis, who commands the Nightmare Legion to garrison the borders of Hell, which reports on the anomaly of the Chaos Landscape. A sudden gray mist shrouded the land of chaos, and several reconnaissance teams sent by Bayliss were lost in the chaos filled with dead air. The Chaotic Earth of the Dead can be said to have completely blocked the path from Hell to the Heavenly Realm, but the scope of the Dead Realm is limited to the Chaotic Earth, so it is not a particularly urgent matter.
The second document is from the "greedy" king Norfco, who is the prime minister of hell and governs all the wealth of hell on earth. In the paperwork, he reported an extremely strict matter, and the tunnel from hell to the realm of the human world was destroyed by some force a few days ago.
The realm tunnel is a magical passage that can be connected through the inherent gap of the plane to be destroyed, at least it must have the terrifying supernatural power that shakes the plane itself, and among the gods known to Satan, in addition to the two creators, only the one in the east has this ability, which is why the realm tunnel is so important. Hell didn't think about fortifying it at all, and as a result, the tunnel was destroyed without even noticing. According to Norfco's report, the Realm Tunnel was so badly damaged that it was expected to take at least ten years or more to repair, during which time both hell and the human world would be completely cut off.
Satan can probably guess who destroyed the realm tunnel, of course, it won't be the noble goddess, but among the two people besides her, there is this supernatural power. It must be the one standing behind the Celestial Realm, right? Although he thinks that the existence of the "supreme source" is enough to be from above and look down on all beings, judging from the current situation, it seems that he has a tendency to abuse his supernatural powers everywhere recently. However, he can't protest, and the only action he can take at the moment is to repair the realm tunnel.
The Dead Realm blocked the path to the Heavenly Realm, and the Realm Tunnel to the Human World was destroyed, and Hell was essentially isolated in the lower dimension. Although he had no experience meeting directly, Satan had heard of the Silver Mask's Cunzài from his granddaughter, who was in charge of the Dark Guild, and had been chosen by Zhigen as his spokesperson. It must be that there is some kind of conspiracy planned in the human world, and in order to prevent the activities of hell from affecting it, he uses this method to isolate hell.
Dakris came to ask for help, of course, he could consider it, but Satan didn't plan to take the initiative to intervene in the competition between the two spokespersons selected by the source, but the other party actually did this kind of thing, so if he didn't do anything else, the prestige of the Hell Demon King would fall to the point of being trampled on. The war with the Celestial Realm has been going on for centuries, and it is time to draw a break, and Satan has even thought about borrowing the power behind the contractor, even if only one of the four gods is dispatched, even if he encounters Metatron, there is nothing to worry about.
Of course, before the flames of war were ignited, there was a more urgent matter to deal with, and if the incident of the destruction of the tunnel was not handled well, the killing storm that ravaged hell centuries ago would reappear, and it was a terrifying experience that no one including himself would ever want to experience again.
The third document is jointly signed by the five kings of hell, Bellis, Greed, Lofco, Morpheus, Morpheus, Jealousy, Shaliye, and Barberet of Gluttony, although the content is only Jane
But on the contrary, it sets off the shocking nature of the incident......
"Kill the Witch Resurgence!"
One of the kings of hell, the "furious" Asora, suddenly came back to his senses the day before yesterday, and the news upset the peace of hell faster than a tsunami.
Of course, Satan knew the news one step ahead of them, after all, a third of the Temple of Ten Thousand Demons had been razed to the ground, and he really remembered the red shadow that wreaked havoc on hell with a death scythe. Asora jumped into space and disappeared after leaking, and Satan naturally knew that he was going to Dakris to settle accounts, but it was not clear whether there was a direct connection between the destruction of the realm tunnel and the killing of witches.
However, under the premise that the realm tunnel is destroyed, Asora, who went to the human world, should not be able to return to hell along the way. Therefore, Satan can't help but feel a little happy in his heart. "Or it's not bad to let the realm tunnel go, ......" The idea unconsciously leaked out of his mouth, and as a result, he attracted the sharp gaze of the chief attendant next to him, so he had to cough a few times to calm down, and then reluctantly picked up three documents. I tilted my head as if I was hesitating which question to choose first.
"Well, let's deal with the affairs of the Chaos Land first! I'm going to go over there and have a look! ”
In the end, Satan decisively chose the simplest one, left the throne with a shake of his head, and stretched out the three pairs of black wings behind his back. Opened the door of the space casually, and was about to walk to the chaotic land, the location of strife.
However, in the door of the space he opened, the first step out of the door was the appearance of a girl in red.
"Hmm......" didn't seem to have adjusted to the sudden changes in the surrounding space, and the girl in red walked quickly a few steps before crashing into the body of the Hell Demon King.
"Beautiful young lady, why did you come out of my underground gate?" Although Satan showed a mature demeanor in a moment, someone who came out with him shattered his grace.
"Ah...... Asora! You...... You're back......" Satan breathed hard as he watched Asora, who had stepped out behind Emperor Yin. However, the latter completely ignored his existence, and only stared at the door of space with a dissatisfied expression, and Satan also subconsciously turned his gaze. Asora's return is almost a poison in his stable spirit, and he can't help but eagerly await the next person to appear, the one who can subdue the poison.
And it didn't disappoint him, and the black contractor walked out of the door and looked at the ruler of hell in front of him with some surprise.
"What, that's the door you opened. Satan has saved me a lot of effort......"
"You...... How did you end up with Asora? Satan was in a hurry to ask the question, "Why did you bring Asola back?"
"On my way to Hell, I encountered a broken realm tunnel, and I met her in the Chaotic Land." Yihao brushed off the dead ashes on the black. I don't see any nervousness at all. "Although I think you should know it, the chaotic land has been transformed into a death realm by someone, and the realm tunnel has also been destroyed, and now the hell is in a state of isolation."
"Yes, I know." Satan nodded.
“…… Haven't you thought about doing something about it? Yihao frowned slightly.
"Not before......" Satan peeked at his daughter with a reluctant gaze. I saw that the killing witch was standing next to her with an impatient expression, and her gaze looking up and down the palace made his heart beat suddenly. "No problem, right?"
"Asora, you say?" Yihao's gaze also shifted.
At this time, Asora walked straight to the wine cabinet next to him, pulled out a bottle of high-quality cider mixed with honey, and began to taste it with a happy expression.
“…… Well, it should be no problem, she just suffered a lot, and she will be quiet for a while. Yihao observed and concluded.
"That'...... That's good. Although Satan felt that he couldn't let go, he didn't pursue it any further, but instead confirmed it with Yihao. But then again, how did you suddenly think of hell? Are you here to see Lilith? Or is it ...... What else is going on? ”
"You don't know how peaceful hell looks like hell, Satan?" Yihao sneered and threw out the shocking news. "A while ago, Penglai was attacked by the Heavenly Realm, the Quartet God was forced to retreat, and most of the angel legions were killed and injured, otherwise, why do you think the Heavenly Realm is cutting off contact with hell now?"
……………………
Silver Kamen led the Angel Legion to attack the Penglai Demon Guide Warship and smash the Penglai leyline, Metatron sacrificed for this, sacrificed the Demon Cannon to destroy the world, devoured hundreds of billions of angels, imperial dragons and the gods of the four directions, and was forced to retreat...... A series of horrific facts were thrown out of Yihao's mouth, and Satan's eyes widened and widened, and finally he let out a long breath, but in the next second, he became furious and roared at the poor chief attendant.
"Morpheus! Where is that guy Morpheus? Tell him to bury my head in the lava basin for me! Hong Shi gave birth to such a big thing, and Hell didn't even know how he managed the intelligence! As one of the Seven Kings of Hell, Morpheus of "Laziness" is the eyes and ears of hell and a watchdog on the world, of course, the target is the heavenly realm, but Satan has commanded him
I didn't expect that the movement on Penglai's side would be so heavy, it's unforgivable!
"Forget it. Even Penglai didn't notice the surprise attack of the silver mask, and asked Morpheus to establish an intelligence network related to Penglai in a short period of time, which would be too difficult for him to ....... Yihao shook his head indifferently, he didn't intercede for the "lazy" king, he just felt that guy could do whatever he wanted, but there were more important things at the moment. "All in all. The Angel Legion is currently in a state of semi-collapse, and it is impossible to recover in a short period of time, and now can be said to be the best time to end the war between Hell and the Heavenly Realm. ”
After speaking. Yihao looked at Satan with a "you should understand" gaze, but the latter smiled bitterly.
"You're right, I do have this plan, but you know the current state of hell, right?"
"Well, the Chaos Land is indeed a more troublesome problem...... Yihao muttered.
"That's right, as long as the god rank is not eliminated for a day, even if I send more troops over. In the end, it will only become a bait for the undead. Satan touched his chin with a look of annoyance. I haven't been to the Chaos Land yet, I don't know much about the situation over there, do you think there's a way to eliminate the dead over there? ”
"Impossible." Yihao replied on the spot. "The person who manipulates the Death Realm has the godhead of Hades, and the corpses that have accumulated in the Chaotic Land for thousands of years have provided her with endless materials, and now the entire plane has become her divine domain, unless she has the power to shake the plane itself, she can only wait until she runs out of power to remove the Death Realm by herself."
"That. Is there only one way to repair the realm tunnel, but this one takes a lot of time......" At this point, Satan suddenly looked at Yihao with expectant eyes. "Wait. If you can't cross the Realm of Death, and the Realm Tunnel hasn't recovered, then wouldn't you have to stay on the side of Hell all the time? Of course, I'm very welcome, it just so happens that the position of the Seven Kings of Hell is still vacant, and you will inherit it, and I believe there will be no opinions. Lilith will also be tall...... Uh, it's fine. ”
Asora, who was drinking there at the mention of Lilith, suddenly turned her head and gave Satan a fierce look.
"Regarding this matter...... "Ignoring Asora's appearance, Yihao looked a little hesitant, and before coming to Hell, he had considered any possible situation and had formulated a corresponding countermeasure. Although there is no way to take the death realm under the control of the Hades, there is another way to return to Penglai, and if you use that method, you can even omit the process of the realm tunnel and directly open the passage between hell and Penglai, but he doesn't know how to do it...... Will it attract a scolding from Qinglong?
"It should be fine, I'm the young emperor of Penglai, and this is also an expedient measure for helplessness...... Well, absolutely no problem. ”
After taking a few minutes to convince himself of his lack of confidence, Yihao immediately explained his method to Satan.
The Shenmu clan of the Qinglong clan is the oldest inhabitant of Penglai, the ancient Shenmu of the Qinglong body, and the center of Penglai. The Shenmu clan is grown from the tree species of the ancient divine tree, so it has an offside connection with the ancient divine tree of the parent body, just like Otohime once served as a passage between Yihao and Penglai, as long as the tree species of the ancient divine tree is planted in hell, it will naturally be able to lead to guò and build a road from hell to Penglai.
In this way, not only can you break the blockade of Yinjiao in the face of hell in one fell swoop, but as long as you pass through the gate of the heavenly realm that was once shattered by the imperial dragon, you can bypass the death realm and directly invade the heavenly realm, which can be said to be a matter of counting in one fell swoop. It's just that Yihao's only worry is that he took all kinds of things about Shenmu in Hell without authorization, as well as the matter of bringing the demon clan to Penglai, what kind of Cheng Dù will make Qinglong crazy? If it provokes the wrath of the green dragon of the four gods, it is definitely not a joke, although now the four gods have gone into hiding with the imperial dragon, but ......
(Uh-huh, Qinglong Xingjun will definitely be angry...... Just as Yihao struggled, a snickering voice suddenly came out of his head.
"Business...... Shangyi! Yihao immediately jumped up and took out the Shenmu seed in his arms, only to see that the almond-sized tree was radiating a pale green brilliance. Why would you ......"
(I'm the designated tree protector of the Blue Dragon Star Monarch, and of course I have the authority to take care of the Divine Wood Species.) Although separated by a plane, Yihao seemed to be able to see the fourth generation of the Shenmu clan proudly waving the staff in his hand. (So, because there is a reason for it, I will give special permission for you to plant the sacred tree over there, but the location will be designated by me.) )
"Where?" Yihao wondered in amazement, if there was any place in hell where the soil was particularly fertile.
(This is in the former Chaos Land...... Shang Yi's slow voice came. (That's a good place, I see.) )
