Volume 2: The Holy War of Blood Chapter 48: Command
Mephistopheles felt that everything at hand was so unpleasant.
Ever since Beelzebub's defeat, there has been a stir throughout the army of Hell, and the chattering demons and messengers have been almost discussing the details of Beelzebub's defeat, and whenever he passes by and hears such conversations, he always has the urge to condemn them all to death.
"Master Mephistopheles, is today's meeting going on as usual?" an envoy asked for his opinion.
"Do you have to keep me going over and over again for this kind of thing?" Mephistopheles lowered her voice in displeasure, "You have to come to me to confirm any little thing, is everyone else just a bunch of rice buckets!?"
The demon immediately fell to his knees, and he lowered his head for fear that Mephistopheles would be killed on the spur of the moment.
"You go, go and tell them the meeting is going on as usual. Mephistopheles looked at the trembling demon and his tone softened slightly.
"Yes!" the demon quickly bowed his head and got up, scrambling out of the room.
"Wait a minute. Mephistopheles suddenly stopped him again, and the demon quickly stopped respectfully in front of the door.
"I ask you, has the order for Astarott to attack actually arrived?"
"Yes, that's all commanding me to guarantee that it's been delivered 100 percent. The demon replied with his head bowed.
"That's good. Mephistopheles breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, by the way, you've been a messenger with me for a long time. ”
"Yes, sir. The demon replied respectfully.
"I ask you, do you think you can trust me 100 percent?" Mephistopheles walked over to him, "Think about it, and then tell me the answer." ”
"What do you mean by that, my lord?" the demon immediately knelt down, "I, Dario, have sworn to serve you for eternity, and my oath cannot be changed no matter what, and my loyalty will never change. ”
"Good, Dario. Mephistopheles laughed, "Then I'll give you a very important task from now on, and from now on, you will be the communication between me and Starrot." Remember, no one but you can have any contact with Astaroth. ”
"In that case, won't the others get news from the front?" Dario looked up slightly, but immediately lowered his head when he saw Mephistopheles' sharp gaze.
"They don't need to know. Mephistopheles snorted disdainfully, "It's just a bunch of annoying guys, and I only need to know the important information as a commander, and you should be able to faithfully carry out my orders." ”
"My subordinates will never give up!" replied Dario in a loud voice.
"Very good, you go down. Mephistopheles waved his hand, and Dario immediately got up from the ground and walked away respectfully.
Sure enough, it's all left to me to take full command, which is the most reassuring thing for me. Mephistopheles sat down on the couch, his mood was much better at the moment, and he picked up the black tea on the table and took a sip gently.
I'm going to do everything alone, and the others can't believe it, Mephistopheles leaned back on the couch and closed her eyes. It is unbelievable that even that Beelzebub would be defeated at the hands of humans, why did all this come to be?
Mephistopheles opened his eyes and picked up his tea, and sure enough, it was better not to think about these troubles now, but when his hand held the handle of the teacup, something he never thought of had happened.
How heavy, does a small teacup weigh that? Mephistopheles found that he couldn't even lift a cup of tea, and it was as if the teacup was completely welded to the table, and he couldn't move the semicolon even with all his might.
Before he could get to the bottom of what was happening, an irresistible force lifted him into the air, and it pinned Mephistopheles to the wall.
"What's going on!?" Mephistopheles tried to move his limbs that were pinned to the wall, but the force that came from nowhere prevented him from moving a single bit, something he had never expected.
The strength was slowly increasing, and Mephistopheles only felt that the bones in his body were being crushed, and the intense pain spread throughout his body, making him can't help but scream.
Damn, let's get out of it anyway. Mephistopheles thought like this, as long as he could enter the fog state, he should be able to get rid of the suppression of this power, but when he was about to use the ability, he encountered an unexpected situation.
He couldn't feel the power in his body anymore! The power that he used to be available at any time was now completely unresponsive, he had lost all his power, and now he was exactly the same as the ordinary people he despised.
"Someone!" Mephistopheles, knowing that things were already in the worst situation, shouted at the open door, "There are assassins, come quickly!"
But no one responded to his shouts, and even before he uttered the first shout, the door slammed shut, and all the windows were immediately shut, and the curtains were lowered, and the room became extremely dark.
"Mephistopheles!" a deep voice echoed throughout the room, and Mephistopheles' eyes widened and her body began to tremble the moment she heard the voice.
"Lord Satan, why are you here?" Mephistopheles asked, her voice trembling.
"Do you still have the face to ask me!?" Mephistopheles felt the force exerted on him grow, his bones seemed to have been completely crushed, and the pain was unbearable for him.
"I'm so sorry, Lord Satan. In the midst of such agony, Mephistopheles replied through gritted teeth. "Although the war has not yet won a decisive victory, we will soon be able to completely destroy humanity!"
"Destroy humanity completely, do you think I'll still believe such a thing now?" the voice retorted, "You can't even defeat even a human being, you're a real disappointment to me, Mephistopheles!"
"I beg you, Lord Satan, that I will fulfill my task if I am given a little more time. Mephistopheles almost pleaded, "Please give me one more chance, one last time!"
Satan's voice was gone, and Mephistopheles felt the force that had been exerted on him disappear, and he fell from the wall, exhausted from the torture he had just experienced.
"I can give you another chance, Mephistopheles. Satan's voice rang out again, "But this is the last time, and if you disappoint me again, you'll immediately turn to dust, do you understand?"
"Yes, Lord Satan. Mephistopheles didn't even have the strength to stand up, so she could only collapse on the ground and gasp in reply.
"I heard that Gabriel guy is back in the picture, right?" asked Satan.
"Yes, Lord Satan. Mephistopheles replied, "He appeared in that city and defeated Lucifer, and there is no doubt that he is ready to intervene in this war." ”
"Is Lucifer's injury serious?" Satan asked.
"Although the internal organs are seriously damaged, please rest assured that such an injury is not life-threatening, and with his godly body, such an injury should heal soon. ”
"That's fine. Satan said, "He is an important force for us that cannot be lost, and he must live until I return anyway, you just need to make sure of that." ”
"I obey your orders. Mephistopheles said respectfully, "But there is one point in my subordinates' hearts that I have doubts, and I hope you can tell me the answer to my humble duties." ”
"But it doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”
"The scale of this war is almost comparable to that one 10,000 years ago, but my subordinates feel very strange, obviously Heaven should have sent troops to support the world the moment we started, but it seems that until now, only Gabriel, who is outside Heaven, has joined the war, isn't Heaven ready to take action?"
"Heaven can't do it. Satan's voice was a little happy, "The current heaven is completely different from the original, but since you are interested in this matter, then I will tell you the truth." ”
Satan told everything about it, and as he spoke, Mephistopheles' expression continued to change, and expressions of surprise, insight, reverence, and realization appeared on his face one after another, and finally only a smile remained on his face.
"Sure enough, you have everything in your hands, Lord Satan. Mephistopheles laughed, "The victory in this war will definitely belong to us, because you are the one who leads us!"
"Don't talk to anyone about this, not even Lucifer, I will soon be back, and by that time, this world will be completely mine!"
"Your subordinates obey your orders. Mephistopheles knelt down and said, "Also, there's one more thing I think you should already know, there is a group of humans who are likely going to go straight to Hell to destroy the gates of Hell, and I'd like to ask for your thoughts. ”
"Humans, humans, are they humans?" Satan's voice looked a little impatient, "Do you need me to tell you what to do to deal with such a creature that can be crushed with one finger? ”
"Your subordinates understand, Lord Satan. ”
"But you must remember that you must not let the Sword of Satan slip up in any way, and if there is even the slightest problem, you must think carefully about how to accept my punishment!"
"Subordinates understand!" Mephistopheles only felt the cold sweat on his back already soak his clothes, "I will definitely turn those incompetent humans into dust, and the sword of Satan will definitely be returned to your hands intact." ”
"Good, don't let me down the last chance I gave you, Mephistopheles. Satan's voice gradually began to grow weaker, "Now do what you have to do, and don't let me down again." ”
"My subordinates send you off. Mephistopheles replied on his knees, and when he couldn't sense the force in the room at all, he rose from the ground.
"Someone!" Mephistopheles shouted as she opened the door, and less than half a minute later, Dario was trotting from a distance.
"What do you command, my lord?" asked Dario.
"Did you just hear any unusual sounds?" Mephistopheles asked, "whatever the sound was, did you hear it?"
The subordinates didn't hear anything. Dario replied, "Do you hear anything, and I can investigate it now, if I need to." ”
"No need. Mephistopheles couldn't help but smile, sure enough, Satan's power was as powerful as everyone had imagined, and now he had to immediately execute that adult's will.
"Gather everyone at once. Mephistopheles strode forward, "Tell them I'm going to have a meeting now, and that the will of the Lord will not allow for a moment's delay!"
