Chapter 951: Joint Council
Athens, located at the southern tip of the Balkan Peninsula, is the capital and largest city of the Hellenic Republic, with a population of nearly four million and a recorded history of 3,000 years, known as the cradle of Western civilization.
However, what most people don't know is that, in addition to these well-known sources, Athens is also the site of the Joint Council of the Supreme Council of the Underworld.
Today, members of the Supreme Council from around the world, as well as the regional occult organizations that work with them, gather for a serious and tense brawl in a hotel controlled by an ancient wizarding guild.
As for the content, it is, of course, the war of hell to conquer heaven not long ago.
In particular, the angels scattered throughout the human society immediately informed the humans as soon as they learned that their homeland had fallen, and tried to obtain a shelter agreement to ensure that they would not become the target of the demons and demon worshippers.
Most importantly, the fall of Heaven means that the stability of the three parties has collapsed, and the Supreme Council will face an army of demons with no worries.
In the event of a full-scale invasion, the entire planet is likely to fall in less than a month.
Among them, the war weapons researched by the ordinary world, such as airplanes, artillery, missiles, nuclear weapons, etc., are powerful enough to cause extremely considerable damage to demons, but the problem is that ordinary people themselves do not have any magic resistance.
Perhaps with a little charm, magic control, or promises of unimaginably long life, status, and privileges to the higher-ups, the greedy will not hesitate to betray their fellow citizens, and these weapons will become a talisman for the underworld.
No doubt!
These old guys, who are accustomed to maintaining a state of peace, finally feel threatened, and an extremely strong sense of crisis hangs over the hearts of everyone who participates in the meeting.
It had been thousands of years since the last full-scale war began, and there were many powerful gods involved.
But this time, the gods had already fallen into a deep sleep and showed no signs of waking up, but hell had destroyed the heavens, and with a little repair, it would inevitably become even more difficult to deal with.
Silent!
Terrible silence!
As soon as a young female angel explained the current situation, the entire hall fell silent.
Some of the high-ranking councillors on weekdays had gloomy faces, some exchanged glances with each other, and some secretly put their hands into their trouser pockets, clutching the invitation to hell that they had only received in the past two days, their eyes flashing with a strange light, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
Just like in the face of an invader, some people will choose to resist as best they can, but many more will choose to surrender and live their lives honestly, and even choose to join the invader and become an accomplice of the other party in exchange for power, status and wealth.
Will the demons of hell destroy the human world?
No!
Of course not!
What they want to do is to conquer the human world and turn the entire planet into a huge and chaotic feedlot that will provide a constant stream of evil spirits.
Therefore, in the eyes of some people, throwing yourself into hell is not an unacceptable thing.
Ten minutes later, the President of the European Supreme Council coughed slightly, and said in a slightly heavy tone: "I understand that this news is quite bad for us. However, it is imperative to confirm the plans of the demons first. Send an envoy mission, we need to have a negotiation. ”
"Agreed! Find out what the demon wants to do, and then we'll decide how to deal with it. Cosmo chimed in.
Although he was secretly glad that he had signed a contract with the Hell Demon King early, his face didn't show it at all.
"So who will be the emissary? I'm not sure if the demons would kill the emissary if they really decided to invade the human world. The other speaker pursed the corners of his lips and asked the most pointed question.
From ancient times to the present, being a messenger has been extremely risky.
Although the saying "two countries do not intersect and do not cut each other" sounds better than anything else, in fact, there are many people who break this rule.
This is true of humanity, and even more so of demons who worship destruction, killing, destruction, and unleashing their desires.
"I think the draw is a good choice! and it's fair. If that district is selected, then at least five councillors from that district will be sent to hell to take charge of this dangerous negotiation. Cosmo casually gave a plausible suggestion.
"I agree to the lottery!"
"Fair indeed!"
"Then smoke it!"
......
After the unanimous vote was passed, several Supreme Speakers got up and went to the center of the hall, put their hands into a small box made of metal, and took out pale yellow strips from it.
Only the Speaker of the South American Parliament drew a silver bar.
You don't need to ask to know that he has won the jackpot and is about to be in charge of the specific matters of negotiation with the demon of hell, and a cold expression appeared on the old man's face.
At the same time, the members of the South American Supreme Council also stood up from their chairs and stared at their own speakers without exception.
"Congratulations, dear old friend, the burden of saving the human world has fallen on you. As Cosmo spoke, he unabashedly gloated from his eyes.
That's right!
It's just schadenfreude!
There has always been friction between the Supreme Council of North America and the Supreme Council of South America, and although it has not yet reached the point of breaking out into a head-on confrontation, there are no small moves in private.
Now that the old rival is going to be unlucky, he will naturally have a feeling of physical and mental pleasure.
"Humph!"
The South American speaker glared at the other party coldly, and directly turned around and left with his subordinates, visually planning to conduct a lottery after going back, and gather five unlucky people with bad luck to complete this extremely dangerous mission.
Seeing the backs of these people gradually disappearing, Faust came behind Laphern at some point, and said in a low voice: "I will visit my room later, I have important things to discuss with you." ”
"What's the matter, don't tell me you're going to hell!" Lavern asked rhetorically, without looking back.
"Of course not! I'm not so stupid to go head-to-head against an army of demons that has never been stronger. I just recently got an interesting piece of information that someone has discovered a portal to a mysterious space in the distant Indian subcontinent. It could be a fragmented world, or it could be a gateway to some god's realm. ”
"Sounds like a lot of value. But the question is, we still have an important ally who is not there, and are you sure you want to leave him alone?"
"Hehe, it's not that we left him on purpose, it's that he didn't leave his contact information. ”
"Okay! I'll join!"
"Wise choice!"
