Chapter 68: The Hope of Ending the Eternal War

In the highest heaven, the remnants of Annu's essence resonate with the arches of the crystal dome. In the perfect rhythm of the bright notes and sacred notes in the arch, new angels were born.

Angels are pure, the essence of the holiness of light and sound, exuding perfect harmony. Although the angel looks somewhat human-like and wears armor. Although, these armors are only used to embellish their personalities, not to defend them.

The angels are the embodiment of Anu's harmonious will, and the five archangels in the angelic council are the embodiment of Anu's noble character - the archangel of courage, Impreus; Archangel of Justice, Tyrrell; Hope Archangel, Oriel; Archangel of Destiny, Isseriel, and Archangel of Wisdom, Masayer.

Angels, like their mortal enemies, demons, do not have life or death, not even flesh and blood.

Angels and demons have been fighting an endless eternal battle in the Chaos Realm. They are vying for control of the Worldstone, hoping to use the power of this ancient artifact to break the balance between heaven and hell. The World Stone has changed hands many times, with the three demon gods using it to create their own spaces of destruction, fear, and hatred, and the archangels using the World Stone to create spaces for justice, wisdom, hope, valor, and faith. But these worlds, created by the power of a single nature, are irreversibly flawed and almost completely incapable of growing.

Later, the angel Inaris and the demon Lilith used the World Stone together to create the human world, the shelter, which became a thriving world, and even had the power to surpass the demons and angels.

It is this power that attracts the attention of the demon gods, but also arouses the fear and suspicion of the angels. The demon gods began to spread evil beliefs in the sanctuary, and the Council of Angels voted on whether to destroy what they saw as an evil place.

Liszt came to his senses from the vision, but his thoughts were not interrupted, and if these visions were true, he could hardly think about the meaning of his hatred and revenge.

Andariel looked at Liszt, who had been silent for a long time, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and said softly: "Liszt, now, do you understand?" More than 200 years ago, I betrayed the Three Demon Gods because I did not approve of their hope of defeating Heaven in your world, you weak human beings. Even the World Stone proved to be of little use. But, Liszt, you opened my eyes to the potential of humanity. Humanity has the power to change, and you are not controlled or constrained by a single evil thought or noble character, so your mind can always go beyond demons and angels and reach a height that we cannot reach. ”

"Although we demons and angels have innate power that is countless times stronger than humans, human beings have the potential to surpass us. Liszt, I don't fancy your Nephilimian power, although it is very powerful. I need your wisdom and the world behind you. I'm going to put an end to this boring and long-lasting eternal battle. Liszt, you have to understand that all the pain and hatred in the world is inseparable from this war, including your own, Liszt. ”

Andariel finished speaking, and no longer spoke, but cast her cold gaze into Liszt's eyes. But Liszt did not feel Andariel's sense of oppression, but he could see the hope and kindness under Andariel's indifferent face.

"Why me? Although I come from another world, that world is not powerful. And you should be well aware of my hatred for you demons, and it is impossible for me to help the demons end this war as a human being. Liszt pursed his lips, lowered his eyelids, and said coldly.

"Are you going to help Heaven, then?" Andariel sneered, "First of all, not to mention whether you can find that proud heaven or not, even if you do, you will be directly executed by the arrogant angel for the crime of defiling the holy Supreme Heaven." Although angels look beautiful, you humans are still more like us demons, aren't you? Speaking of this, Andariel sneered disdainfully.

"Moreover, your so-called hatred is meaningless in the first place. Don't you understand that all your dead family and friends are not dead by some demon or cultist, but by the victims of this eternal war? Help me and end this war so you can complete your revenge! ”

Liszt looked at Andariel's ugly and hideous figure, calmed the restlessness of the armor on his body and the bow on his back, raised his eyes to look at the cold eyes of the tall Andariel, and said: "Andariel, I agree with you, indeed, I want to end this criminal war with my own hands." How can I help you? ”

"Very well, Liszt, I know you are a reasonable man." The chill emanating from Andariel's body was swept away, but her evil smile was too much for anyone to relax.

"Originally, if you resisted to the end, I could only extract your soul and forcibly open the temporary passage of that plane in your previous life, and collect the power there in a short time. But since you know the times so well, you don't have to go out of your way like this. Andariel explained.

"I can teach you a demonic spell that can help you break down the barriers between planes and return you to your original world. I need you to be there, to build an empire of my own, to pass on the power there to me, so that I will have a chance to sweep through all obstacles and end all wars. ”

When Liszt heard Andariel's words, he was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "You mean you can let me go back to the world of my last life?" "It's no wonder that Liszt was shocked and delighted, because he couldn't just forget the hometown where he was born and raised, this sanctuary world, he had spent less than 14 years, and in the previous life, he was in his twenties. Moreover, he didn't know what happened to his friends and relatives.

"Of course, although it is very costly." Andariel sat gracefully in a chair beside her, legs folded, one hand supporting her beautiful cheek.

"You can also continue your revenge in your previous life that didn't quite end. It doesn't matter if you turn your relatives and friends who were still alive in your last life into nobles of the empire. Andariel looked at Liszt, who was surprised and delighted, and the smile on his face became stronger, "Of course, the premise is that you must ensure that you successfully complete my mission." ”

Liszt forcibly suppressed his surprise and excitement and asked, "So, what is the price, Andariel?" ”

Andariel was a little upset when he heard Liszt's question, and said, "I don't like people calling me by my name, Liszt, and I want you to understand your own situation and identity. As for the price......" Andariel looked at Liszt mockingly and said, "Every time you cross, you need to consume a huge amount of life energy. You have three options, Liszt. ”

"First, use your own strength to traverse, if the two planes are not too far apart, then you may still rely on your Nephilim power to survive, but, if you are unlucky, it is estimated that you will be drawn into a dead man halfway through. I believe you will not choose such a stupid way to die. ”

"Second, human sacrifice is carried out to extract the life force of human beings. A crossing, conservatively estimated, requires at least a thousand ordinary human life forces. If it is a more powerful human, there will be fewer of them. It's just that I don't know if you have that kind of energy, Liszt? Andariel looked at Liszt with a smirk.

Liszt was determined to end the war, he knew there would be many sacrifices, but he still couldn't allow himself to deprive innocent people of their lives like this. He could only hope that Andariel's third method wouldn't go too far, although judging by her first two, it wasn't likely.

Andariel looked at the struggle and stubbornness on Liszt's face, and knew his decision, so she spoke out the evil thoughts she had been planning in her heart for a long time.

"The third is for me to transform you into a demon! After becoming a demon, the shadow can be transformed into your life force. This way, you only need to extract the endless shadow magic of the hell, or drain the life force of the demons. Looking at Liszt, whose eyes were stunned by her words, Andariel stood up, looked down at him, and asked with a smile.

"What about your choice, Liszt?"
