Chapter LXI: The Price to Pay
Seeing this scene, Lucifer showed a panicked look for the first time.
"You guy! ……”
Xingyu slowly raised his withered left hand, his purple nails as sharp as a saber.
"What you're dealing with right now is...... One-third of them are gods, one-third are men, and one-third are demons...... I ......"
The cold tone, like a judge who sentenced him to death, showed no mercy, like a red gun that went straight to the heart, and the only result was penetration.
Lucifer subconsciously stepped back, raised his right hand high in a trembling voice, and said with a weak heart:
"Don't be complacent, with your human body, you can't maintain this state for long...... In the end, there is no doubt that I can move freely! ”
"It could be." Xing Yu gently licked the back of his hand, and suddenly cast his wolf-like eyes on Lucifer, and the proud demon king trembled all over, "I'll start first." ”
As soon as Lucifer heard Xing Yu say "start", he immediately panicked, and desperately threw waves of inferno, thorns, and feathers at Xingyu. The violent explosion accompanied the assassin who hid in the darkness, like a sudden herd of beasts rushing towards the stars, swept in, and rushed in the face, which could not be described as fierce as an instant ignition of vodka. The surrounding ground turned into scorched earth, and heat waves collided with each other like the tide of the Qianjiang River; The feathers that burst here and there, each fiber danced like a needle tip; In the shadows, the barbed vines were even more nightmarish, stretching out their daggers in the darkness and stabbing them in the back.
After a burst of incessant bombardment, Lucifer gasped in the air, calmed down a little, and looked triumphantly at the scene in front of him as if it were hell on earth.
"Smack!"
There was an unsociable explosion in the silent flames of hell.
No, it's not a bomb! It's snapping your fingers! It's the snapping of your fingers!
With a snap of the fingers of Xingyu's right hand, all the hellfire that burned the earth on the ground was uprooted, spinning and being sucked in the same direction.
That place like a black hole is the palm of Xingyu's hand!
After the flames were gradually absorbed, Xingyu took shape.
After experiencing the crazy offensive just now, Xing Yu did not have a single new scar on his body.
"Now, my power is stronger than everyone in this space, and the complete dominance is in my hands."
Xingyu's firm voice was mixed with a hoarse but equally firm voice.
That voice was none other than Astaroth.
Now, instead of being manipulated by either side, they are two as one, for the same goal, to eliminate Lucifer!
The two of them are strong enough to be stronger than anyone in this gap, and now, they are the real gods of this world!
"All the attacks you have made are in vain, I can erase your existence at any time, give up."
Lucifer kept backing away, unleashing everything ominous towards Xingyu, but it was undoubtedly reduced to powder mustard in mid-air.
It's ironic that as an arrogant demon, he can be intimidated by fear to the point of no arrogance, and only knows how to launch a senseless attack like a headless fly.
"Is that really good? When I am destroyed, the world I have created will be buried with me! Do you really have the heart to let countless creatures in this world die innocently? ”
Lucifer pretended to be calm in panic, flapping his wings as lightning bolts passed through the gaps in his crow-like wings and swooped towards Xingyu.
"What is more terrible than death is that life is better than death." Xingyu said as he waved his arms left and right to cut off the thunder and lightning like spider silk, and walked forward step by step.
"I don't feel sorry for these lives that died in vain, but I want to congratulate them on their escape from your twisted justice." Astarott's hoarse voice came from Xingyu's body.
Although he said it himself, Xingyu couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Miss Astarrot, did Lucifer do such a thing for the sake of justice? Isn't he here to conquer and rule? Xingyu asked in her mind, she and Astarott used the same body, so they were able to communicate telepathically.
"You should be able to understand that I have the same relationship with Lucifer [to hell], but I am the successor of [hell], and this is due to the difference in our nature. We were also chosen in this world, and after a long period of observation, Mr. [Hell] chose me, because although I am the embodiment of 'wrath' who loves blood, I am also the goddess of the moon who determines fate and harvest, and I will make sacrifices to achieve my desired purpose, even if it doesn't matter if I shed blood and die, but Lucifer is different, he is a seraphim, and what he desires is to bring the world to heaven, that is, to be' Only a righteous world remains', if you look at it from the point of view of human beings, he is pursuing a communist society, his starting point is not bad, but he fails to realize that he is not powerless, such a utopian society is not something that a dictator can create. After I was chosen, he did not abandon that idea, and as the embodiment of 'arrogance', he always believed that he could do it, and he continued to accumulate strength and embark on the path of conquest. In order to plunder power, he has taken the life force of the creatures of this world again and again, but he retains the essence of an angel, and he sees it as extremely important in the matter of life and death, and he will always leave a little energy that can keep those creatures alive, so that they can crawl back from the edge of life and death, and then carry out the second plunder. In his view, this is a righteous act to achieve justice, and the process is reasonable, but in reality, his justice has long since become a distorted thing that brings disaster. ”
Xingyu listened carefully to the voice coming from his heart, and at the same time, consciously or unconsciously, he re-examined the demon in front of him who trembled and fled backwards.
"He's just gone astray, but he has to pay for his ignorance."
“〔The Devil〕,Conceptual erasure!”
With a crisp snap of thumb and index fingernails, the last black flames burned out on the corners of Xingyu's clothes.
"It's over......"
"It's time for me to go, too."
"Huh? Why? Xingyu asked in surprise when he heard Astaroth's words.
Astarot said calmly:
"To become a god in the human body is to accept the punishment of God, and the human body simply cannot bear such a load. After all, it was that bottle of serum that made you temporarily strengthen into a vampire, so that you could barely survive until now. The effect of that bottle of serum has completely disappeared just now, which means that your body is about to collapse. ”
Xingyu raised his hand, and his left hand had indeed regained its blood color, and his nails had turned back to pink, and the section that had grown out was slowly falling off, but there was no sign of collapse.
"And it didn't ......"
"Yes, I'm breaking down on your behalf."
Xingyu hurriedly raised her right hand, and only then did she realize that her right hand had unconsciously become her original hand, a human hand!
"Why?" Xingyu was so anxious that he almost cried.
"Because, compared to me, you have more reason to live, you still have things to do, people to love, don't you?"
“……”
Astarot's voice gradually became softer, like the voice of an old man who was fading away:
"There is no need to regret it, this is just, it should be paid, the price ......"
Everything drifted away like smoke and dust, leaving Xingyu standing alone as before departure.
Raising his right hand blankly, the mark of the inverted pentagram on the back of his hand has disappeared.
Suddenly, a blue glow lit up on the back of her hand, and Xingyu looked at the hazy light in amazement, and an inexplicable anticipation rose in her heart.
As the light receded, a new sky-blue inscription appeared on the back of her hand.
It is the shape of the right wing of a butterfly.
Xingyu stared at it blankly and smiled slightly.
"It's not as good-looking as I used to be...... It's really ......."
The world gradually began to crumble, and Xingyu waved his hand and hid in subspace.
