42. Mutation
On the streets of New York, the city is rapidly recovering.
Even though the disaster has only just ended, the resilient people of New York have started their lives anew.
Office workers are working hard to earn money again, and the streets are crowding again.
On Wall Street, on top of the building of Blacklight Investments, Dimon Brown. Hellstorm stands by the window.
With his hands in his pockets, he looked out at the re-thriving city below.
The half-demon with a gloomy face whispered:
"They say Merlin is dead."
"The official obituary was sent out, and they were going to give Merlin a decent funeral, after all, Merlin saved the city, and even the entire East Coast, the whole world, before he died."
Do you believe that? Younger sister. ”
"Do you want to tell the truth?"
Lazy Satana. Hellstorm lies on the couch in his brother's office in a amorous pose.
This flamboyant half-demon lady stretched her perfect body while waxing her two horns with her hands and feet.
She said casually:
"I don't believe a word."
"You think Merlin isn't dead?"
Dimon looked back at his sister and said:
"But his aura has indeed disappeared, and in the past two days, we, and the Red Devil Asazzo, have searched the whole world, and he has disappeared..."
"Without a trace, it's like you're really dead."
"Come on, brother."
Satana waved her hand and she said:
"We all know how much Merlin prepared for this, and the battle that day, he had a fight with the God King! He must have broken through the power of Heavenly Father at the last moment..."
"Tell me, how can a Heavenly Father die so easily?"
"If you want me to say, that Merlin guy must be hiding somewhere."
Satana stretched, and she said in a relaxed tone:
"Maybe we're planning something very interesting, but we'll just have to be patient, he'll always call us."
"Hey."
Dimon also smiled, and said:
"When we first formed the Children of Hell, we wanted to be leaders, but now that we're loyal followers of Merlin, we're willing to do so... It's unpredictable. ”
"We are the devil, brother."
Glancing at her brother, Satana said:
"It's in our nature to obey the strong. Speaking of which, hasn't the borders of hell been opened yet? What the hell is Liana up to? ”
"Something must have happened."
Talking about this, Damon's tone was also a little solemn.
He said:
"It's been three days since the Hell Border was closed, and I've heard that the various Hell Lords have also re-sealed the dimensional gates to the Hell Border."
"Clearly, they're also afraid, or rather, wary of what's happening at the borders of hell."
"But Liana didn't ask for our help."
Satana touched her shiny devil's horn that had been maintained, and she said:
"It shows that the Frontier Queen can handle those things herself... But, brother, have you heard about what happened in Lucifer's Hell yesterday? ”
"Nope."
Dimon Says:
"I attended a charity gala organized by the New York government yesterday, and there were a couple of interesting souls there... What do you say happened to the hell where the angels fell? ”
"A demon king has defected."
Satana was so excited when she talked about the gossip that the half-demon lady clapped her hands and said to her brother:
"He is a lord under Lucifer, and it is said that he was one of the fallen angels who followed Lucifer to heaven back then."
"It clashed with Lucifer, then escaped from Hell, and its subordinates rebelled on a massive scale, and now Lucifer's side of Hell is in chaos."
"Several of the Lords of Hell were watching the joke, and there was gossip that Mephistopheles was planning all this; But there are also those who swear that it is our father who is behind the scenes. ”
"Anyway, there are different opinions."
"Is Lucifer's hell messed up too?"
Dimon didn't care about the gossip, he cared about a deeper meaning behind it.
He sat down in his chair and pulled out a special gadget from a drawer and projected a map of the dimensions of hell in front of his and Satana's eyes.
The half-demon looked at the map in front of him, and he frowned and said:
"The chaos in Mephistopheles Hell isn't over yet, Lucifer's Hell has rebelled again, and the borders of Hell are closed... I heard that when the Dark Phoenix got out of control, it gnawed down one-seventh of the Hell Dimension of the Three Palace Demons. ”
"The Seven Monarchs of Hell seem to have their own troubles these days..."
"Sister, you say, does this mean that something big is about to happen?"
"Big deal?"
Satana snorted:
"Aside from the Battle for the Hell King, what other major event could implicate so many places at once?"
"It seems that those old guys are getting impatient, and the battle for the throne of the King of Hell is about to start, but at this time, Merlin is missing."
The female half-demon waved her fist dissatisfiedly:
"Looks like the children of hell are going to keep a low profile for a while..."
"Nope."
Dimon looked at the intricate map in front of him, at the forces represented by the drawings, and the half-demon propped his chin with his hands.
He said:
"Maybe we don't need to keep a low profile, chaos is a ladder, sister, with or without Merlin, we have to seize this opportunity..."
"Buzz"
At this moment, the rings on Daemon and Satana's fingers suddenly vibrated and the two looked at each other.
They put the ring to their ears and heard the tired voice of Liana, Queen of the Frontier.
"Come to the borders of hell, I need your help."
"Huh"
A door glowing with a dark red glow lit up in Damon's office.
The half-demon siblings stepped inside and arrived at Liana's restored castle.
They landed on the castle's watchtower, and from this enchanted tower, they could see almost the entire border of hell.
And the border queen Liana is also in a bad state at this time.
She wore her own overlay black armor, but her armor was covered in claw marks and grotesque scars, and the cloak behind her was tattered.
Leana stood at the edge of the tower with the Soul Slayer's greatsword, looking out into the distance of her realm.
In front of the castle, her loyal servant, the Black Sir of Hell, is in command of the Legion of the Guards of the Dead of Asgard, guarding the Queen's castle to the death.
A huge fire burned in front of the castle.
It was a terrifying pit, and the pit was filled with shattered demon corpses, and some of the fire demons were constantly throwing flames at the pit, making those corpses burn more violently.
And looking out from the direction of the tower, the entire land of the border of hell is covered with such burning fires.
At the end of the earth as far as the eye could see, a tall, dark wall rose out of nowhere, enveloping nearly two-thirds of the territory of the border of hell.
"What's going on?"
Dimon asked in surprise:
"You changed the terrain of the borders of hell? Why did you shape this wall? A terrain change of this magnitude would leave you in a state of long-term weakness..."
"Of course something happened, genius!"
Liana rolled her eyes, and she gestured to the black knights below, telling them to stick around the castle.
The Queen of the Frontier dragged her tired body into her castle with her companions.
In the middle of the hall, several large jars were placed in the corners, and in the jars were filled with a green liquid, and in that liquid, there were some twisted biological specimens.
It's like formalin soaked in corpses.
"That bastard Merlin dropped a couple of goddamn missiles into my kingdom to save New York."
Liana complained to Damon and Satana beside her dissatisfiedly:
"I thought those missiles would explode at most, and I didn't care about it, but I didn't expect there to be anything else in those missiles..."
Dimon approached the jars, and he looked at the specimens soaked in liquid.
It was obvious that the prototypes of those specimens were demons, but the bodies of those demons were covered with strange gray-white skin and twisted organs like rotting flesh.
The bodies of these demons are showing signs of great mutation.
Their already ugly faces were made even more terrifying, but they were more muscular, their claws larger, and some of them had grown terrifying tentacles and bladed limbs like praying mantises.
This is a relatively good mutation.
There were also some terrible things that had been mutated, those twisted balls of flesh and blood, that made half-demons like Daemon feel sick.
"This is a tyrant."
With his hands behind his back, the half-demon turned back to Liana and his sister and said:
"That's what is happening in Resident Evil in Raccoon City, I went there last night to see... Shocking. ”
"But I didn't expect something like this to happen in your hell."
"The human virus is so powerful?"
Satana was a little surprised and said:
"Can you actually influence demons?"
"yes, that's it."
Liana put a pair of dead fish eyes and said in a tone that was worse than death:
"Less than 2 hours after the missile exploded, the demons on the border of hell were infected by one-tenth of them."
"After 12 hours, two-thirds of my subjects had been turned into monsters. I think you're curious about what I've been up to these days..."
The Frontier Queen sighed:
"Quite simply, I'm slaughtering my subordinates."
"Until now, there are still millions of infected demons left outside the border wall I have built, and my hands are really sore... Just let them fend for themselves. ”
"I've heard that the origin of this virus is a legendary bloodline that got out of control in Brimstone Harbor, so theoretically it is also a mysterious force, not pure technology."
Dimon rubbed his chin.
This ruthless guy didn't care what would happen to Liana's demon subjects, he didn't care about that.
He said to Liana:
"Haven't you tried to throw those infected demons into other hells? After messing around with us for so long, are you still so kind? ”
"Of course I did!"
Liana retorted with some irritation:
"I did that when I realized the spread of the virus, otherwise why do you think the gates of other hell dimensions would be closed?"
"The old guys are cunning, and they quickly cut off the passage after realizing that I threw the virus infected body into their hell."
"I really can't help it, so I built the border wall."
"Don't give me any ideas."
The Queen of the Frontier fashioned a chair, on which she sat and said to her companion wearily:
"How to harm the other hells now is secondary, I have to find a way to stabilize the situation on the border of hell."
"I've tried to control the infected demons, but it didn't work, these viruses give them very strange powers, and they are not controlled at all."
"And what's worse, I suspect that this land may be infected by the virus, and as long as demons are born on this land, they will be transformed into mutants..."
"If it goes on like this, the border of hell will be over."
Liana's body began to tremble, and she said:
"The borders of hell are over, and so am I..."
"Don't worry."
Although Satana is usually not very reliable, she will take the initiative to comfort Liana, who is a little scared.
She said:
"It's a big deal to reshape the frontier with hellfire, or simply kill all the demons here... Brother, you speak! ”
"I'm trying to figure it out."
Dimon shook his hand, and he frowned at the mutant specimens in front of him.
Liana is an important member of the Children of Hell, and the demon army under her command will become the absolute power of the Children of Hell's intervention in the battle for the King of Hell, and it is impossible for Daemon to give up on Liana.
This would be tantamount to abandoning all previous preparations.
He had to find a way to pull Liana back from the brink of danger.
"Let's do this... I think it might have to fall on the agents in Raccoon City, the guys under Merlin. ”
The half-demon turned to Liana and his sister and said:
"They're sticking to Raccoon City, they're working on a vaccine against the virus, and if those vaccines work for humans, then I believe they should work for demons as well."
"Well, let's find a way to contact them."
Dimon Says:
"Merlin will be the best link between our two forces, they should not refuse to help, but the role as an intermediary is important..."
"We certainly can't come forward, no one will believe the devil."
"X-Men!"
Satana Says:
"Liana is also a member of the X-Men, let them come forward and say that they are all partners in justice, it must be no problem."
"No, no, no."
Dimon shook his head, and he said:
"It's useless for you to just say this kind of thing, the organization and the mutual help between the organization must be from the perspective of interests..."
"Let me think about it, maybe, we can help those humans solve the trouble over there in Raccoon City first."
The half-demon looked at Liana, and he asked:
"In addition to demons, you have other legions under your command that can be used, right?"
"Well, three legions of bones, and one legion of dead souls."
The Queen of the Frontier said:
"They are dead, they are ghosts, and they cannot be infected by the virus."
"That's enough!"
Dimon snapped his fingers and said:
"We help them first, and then they help us."
"Merlin's legacy will be integrated, maybe... A new force will be born across hell and earth. ”
PS:
Tomorrow will be added~
In addition, everyone said that the comment area is now called the book friend circle, in short, the problems that are very chaotic there are also being dealt with.
Recently, I will delete a batch of posts and seal a group of 'enthusiastic' book friends who don't know where they came from.
Again, I am the only one who has the right to delete posts in the comment section of this book, so there will be no random deletion of posts by the helmsman alliance leader.
There are a few 'enthusiastic' book friends who have been dancing happily and have been taking this point to war, don't believe it.
If there is a mistake in the seal, you can add it to the book friend group to explain that the starting point makes this new model really too complicated and confusing.
If you add more, if nothing else, it should still be 3+7.
Love you guys~
