Chapter 42: Machines

In the early morning, the aftermath of the victory can still be felt on the streets of the French town of Hagrid.

The cleaners were sweeping the garbage from the streets, and people had been celebrating in the streets of the town for several nights in a row, and a few drunks were lying asleep on both sides of the road, muttering something in their mouths.

Everywhere there was a sense of joy after victory, and people seemed to have a smile on their faces forever, which would have been unimaginable just a few months ago.

There had been fighting in this town, and people didn't know much about the battle that night, as they had all evacuated that night, and now they only knew that there was a BPRD operation team that had fought bloodily here.

As the people returned to the town, there were still traces of blood left in the central square of the town, which seemed to tell the story of the brutal fighting that took place that night.

Like everyone else in the world, everyone in Hagrid had been keeping a close eye on the course of the war, and by the time they learned of the victory on the battlefield of Manhattan, almost everyone in the town stayed up all night.

For several nights people have been celebrating the victory in the streets of the town, and it should be said that everyone in the world is now immersed in the joy of victory, and this is no exception.

In the deserted street at this moment, a man was walking down the street, and the cleaner who was sweeping up the garbage subconsciously looked up at him, and after just one glance, he continued to bury his head in his work.

The sun had gradually risen, and the sun was shining on the streets, but when the light hit the man's hand, the man showed a rather annoyed expression.

The man's figure soon disappeared into an intersection, and he shuttled back and forth through these intricate alleys, finally stopping in front of a house.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door, then stood in front of it and waited, and in less than a minute the door was opened, and the man was greeted by a tall, thin man.

"It's finally here. The tall thin man who opened the door smiled, "Come in quickly, it's too inconvenient to talk outside." ”

The man didn't say anything but nodded slightly, and when he entered the room, the man who opened the door looked out of the door with very wary eyes, and then closed the door at once.

"The journey should be pleasant, Mammon. The Nameless Man said with a smile.

"That's it. Mammon straightened her clothes, "You should be going well here." ”

"With me here, you should rest assured. The nameless man sat down on the couch, "The work is going well underway, and I guess it won't be long before it is completed." ”

"Good. Mammon nodded in satisfaction, "I'm here mainly for this purpose, and to take a look at the man." ”

"He. The Nameless Man yawned, "He's been overseeing the work underground, and to be honest I think he's a lot more serious than I am." ”

"Both things have to be speeded up, and the humans are already in Hell, which means that Hell will soon become a chaotic battlefield, which is a very favorable situation for us. ”

"I see, how about it, do you want to go down and see for yourself?"

"That's exactly what I mean. Mammon looked at the nameless man and said, "Only when I see it with my own eyes can I know the bottom of my heart." ”

"Then come with me. The Nameless Man stood up, and Mammon kept close to him.

The Nameless Man stopped in front of a large fireplace, and when he reached out and touched a part of the fireplace, the fireplace immediately split in two, and in the middle of the wind-cracked fireplace appeared an empty chest that could hold two or three people.

Mammon followed the Nameless Man into the empty chest, which slowly descended downward, and soon Mammon was enveloped in darkness, and when the light reappeared, Mammon knew that she was underground.

The underground space here is huge, with at least a hundred demons busy going back and forth, and in the center of the entire space stands a huge cylindrical contraption.

"There he is, Mammon. The Nameless Man pointed to the man standing next to the device, who was looking at the cylindrical device in front of him with a very serious expression, as if he had no notice of Mammon and the Nameless Man approaching him.

"What are you looking at? Burton. Mammon greeted him.

"Nothing, just remembering something from the past. Bolton looked back and smiled, "What wind brought you here?"

"Just a routine look. Mammon replied, "Is this the machine?"

"That's right, that's it. "This machine is called a 'dream,' and as long as you have this machine, you can realize that plan very smoothly." ”

"'Dreams'?" said Mammonmo, rubbing her chin, "but a name for the occasion, as its name suggests, this machine will open everyone into a new world that only dreams can have. ”

"It's not finished yet. "But I reckon it's about the same now, and it won't take more than a week at most to be fully built." ”

"That's a good thing, of course, we have to be fast, so that we can get our plans going. ”

"Aren't you building something too?" said Burton, glancing at the opening, which had been dug up here at the request of a nameless man.

"That's for the next action. "The main purpose of my infiltration into the BPRD headquarters was twofold, one of which was to destroy their resistance, and the other was to get the blueprints of the machine. ”

"You are said to have killed Astaroth, is that true?"

"The news spread so fast. Mammon raised an eyebrow, "Yes, I killed Astarrot, I killed him because he was no longer needed, and keeping him would only make him a threat to our actions." ”

Burton was silent.

"What's wrong? Do you think I'm doing something wrong?"

"No, it really should be. Bolton spoke, "What about the Legion that originally belonged to Astaroth, and what did you do with them?"

"Now they're my legion. Mammon smiled at him, "Those who would not join us have been exterminated, and those who are willing to be loyal have become one of us." ”

Mammon remembered what had happened that day, and when he wanted Astaroth's legion to announce that he had been killed, Hoth, who was Astaroth's deputy, was the first to jump out.

"Traitor!" roared Hoss, "you betrayed Lord Astarrot, betrayed all of us, don't you think we can't see it!?"

"You don't have a choice, Hoss. Mammon sneered, "Either choose to join my side or die!"

"Then I'd rather die like that Lord!" Horth shouted, "We are the men of Lord Astaroth, and now that Lord Astarot has died at the hands of this traitor in front of him, we will avenge him!"

"Avenge Lord Astaroth!" a number of such voices rang out as Hoth shouted, and Mammon frowned, and the nameless man standing beside him smiled helplessly.

"It doesn't seem like it's going to be that simple. The Nameless Man smiled and said, "What's next? ”

"I've already said it. Mammon said in a cold tone, "All those who do not want to obey my orders are dead." ”

So the battle broke out, and although many of the demons under the command of Astarott were willing to join the Hos, he was still unable to resist the attack of Mammon and the Nameless Man, and in the end, Hoth finally fell in front of Mammon.

"One last chance. Mammon looked coldly at Hoss who was kneeling on the ground, "You can still choose to be loyal to me, and I can not blame you for what you just did."

"You damn traitor!" Hoss glared at Mammon before the end of his life, "You will always be a traitor!

"But not today. With that, Mammon put an end to Hoth with her own hands, and after his death, all resistance ceased.

In this way, Mammon took full control of the legions under the command of Astaroth, hid them all, and kept a close watch on the scouts sent by Mephistopheles, who in fact almost none of them made it back to Hell alive.

"When that day comes, these legions will come in handy. "But now is not the time, there is no need to show your edge too soon, all we need is an opportunity, and that opportunity will soon come." ”

"You're waiting for the time when Hell is in complete chaos, and Shore and they are bound to fight Mephistopheles in order to close the gates of Hell and that means Hell will have no time to take care of other threats. ”

"It's not all. "Perhaps something more interesting will happen, and we just have to wait and see." ”

"But there were some hiccups. The Nameless Man said to Mammon, "Alligus seems to have betrayed us, but I didn't expect that fellow to dare to do so." ”

"He's arguably one of Satan's most loyal people, and I warned you before that, but I've seen this happen. ”

"And what do you mean?"

"There is no need to execute him immediately for the time being. "Let him fight first, and maybe he will save us some trouble, but I don't need to say much about his fate." ”

"I don't know how many times I've done this kind of thing when it's useless, but his betrayal makes me feel very uncomfortable, and we will let him end his life in the most painful way. ”

"Well, enough has been seen. Mammon looked at Bolton and said, "I'll leave everything here to you two, and I still have some things to do, so I won't stay here." ”

"I'm afraid we'll be ready for action the next time you come back. The Nameless Man laughed, "I can't wait for that day to come sooner." ”

"That day will come. Mammon looked up at the huge Dream and said, "When the machine starts running, it's time to play the old world requiem." ”

"It's all about the new world. "The future that exists only in our imagination will come to fruition." ”

"Yes, it will happen!" said Mammon, striding away, with an indescribable heat in his eyes. After so many years, the world that only existed in his heart was finally coming true.
