2. Demon Empire

Abel and I walked through a passage deep underground, and it was like the intestines of an incomparably huge centipede, and the smell came to my nose.

Abel said, "There is a companion." ”

Hundreds of demons passed through the membrane in the "intestines" and surrounded us, Abel sneered, and with a slash of his oblique palm, a quarter of the demons instantly turned into flesh.

I followed the arc of light and cleared the other side, and the whole process of our battle did not take more than ten seconds, which was already very slow.

At this moment, a giant monster at least two hundred meters tall appeared, it was covered in bright colors, like a colorful lizard, with a tongue stretched in its mouth, and a pair of eyes full of spirals, which was terrifying.

Able snapped his fingers at it, and it was hit by the missile-like force, but only for a moment, and Able said, "It's a bit of a problem." ”

I said, "This channel is shrinking, we need to get through it quickly." ”

Abel said, "You go first, and I'll come to you after I kill it." ”

I said emotionally: "My dear Ernie-chan, the two of us have experienced endless and arduous battles side by side, you have saved me, I have saved you, even Dagon's outstanding assassination skills have never made me lose the courage to share weal and sorrow with you, now, how can this mere lizard separate you and me for half a second?" No, please don't say such self-sacrificing words, it will hurt my admiration and dependence on you..."

Abel squinted at me, his eyes, why was his eyes so suspicious? It's just heartbreaking! This is simply an insult to my great and pure comradeship, this is simply defiled by my fragile and tender heart....

The lizard spits out poisonous water, its smell is like excrement, I just ran away, anyway, Abel can't die, my safety is the most important, just wait until it's safe, and then I can come back and find it.

A smile tugged at the corner of my mouth, and it was a good five.

As I smiled, I stepped into the air and plunged into a sea of excrement.

I sensed that the shadow of the dragon had sniffed a valuable clue, and I wrapped myself in the shadow and dived towards the bottom of the ocean of excrement, where there was a deep valley and a cave in the deep valley, and I entered the cave.

I cast a shadow, and along that shadow, Able could find me.

The cave is the entrance to a museum, or rather, it is the product of the close fusion of hell and reality, a corrupted reality, like a cancer or a parasite, that makes reality distorted, bloated, huge and bizarre, it makes space bigger and it makes space so small.

I saw the ruined Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, the burned Notre Dame Cathedral, the ruined Old Summer Palace, the collapsed Berlin Wall, a deserted log cabin, and an overgrown madhouse.

It's like a reproduced scroll of history, a long-lost view of the earth.

I walked to one of the temples, which was as majestic as the Titan's temple.

Able came up behind me and asked, "Is this it?" ”

I looked solemn and said, "Yes." ”

Abel: "What kind of temple is this?" ”

I said, "King Solomon's temple." ”

Abel: "Hebrew wizard?" ”

I said, "The greatest demon hunter of all time." ”

We walked into this temple of filthy magic and terrible aura, and there were many small temples built inside this temple, but each one was not small, and the temple was like a mountain range full of temples.

There are demons in every temple, and they are great or small.

.....

In a certain period of human history, demons have almost ruled the world.

Lucifer taught humans the magic of summoning demons, which were disguised as gods.

Little by little, they descended into this world, as good and just gods, they gave themselves all kinds of names, confused the truth, countless cults spread everywhere like sparks, and soon, sparks burned the plains.

However, the Demon Grand Duke was already full of enmity and rivalry with each other, and when they returned, they fought for the faith of mankind and conquered the rest of the fleeing demons for their own use, and many wars broke out in the world.

At the same time, these wars are forbearing, skillful, restrained, and quiet, and they still fear God, knowing that the Creator and his angels are still on high. Even though these victors ignored the signs out of contempt for the world, the Grand Duke did not dare to act rashly until he had found a feasible strategy against heaven.

Great empires were established, in the east the Han Dynasty and in the west in Rome, where demons used bloodlines, werewolves, mages, elves, and living corpses to create legends and myths, and claimed to be ancient gods in mythology.

All of a sudden, there were more than a thousand gods in the world, many of which were duplicates, different identities of the same demon, such as Baal, who had at most more than a dozen titles, and the worshippers of each title did not know who they were really worshipping.

These gods bestowed wisdom and knowledge, imparting skills and spells to humans, but in reality, they used this belief to enhance their magic and gradually push the boundaries of reality.

The will of the demon Grand Duke is the goal of the demons, Aden intends to destroy humanity, Asmodeus intends to enslave humanity, Yazlar intends to harvest human souls, Dagon intends to use humans against God, and Belel intends to use humans to find Lucifer and take revenge. Even though the apparent purpose is different, the ultimate goal is the same - they must summon their ultimate weapon into the world.

That weapon is called Hell.

After a long transformation, Hell has completely escaped God's control, and it is no longer a prison created by God, but a planet belonging to the demons. In hell, God may not be able to intervene and punish demons directly. Even though he could send angels to attack the demons in Hell, he might not have an advantage.

So, as long as the demons summon Hell into the present world, this world will once again become an outpost of their war with Heaven, and the enslaved humans will have to provide them with infinite faith and power, and this time, their chances of victory will be much greater.

This goal requires the evolution of human civilization to a certain alarming degree, the explosion of the population, the degeneration of the heart, the need for them to become weak, and the need for them to become violent.

In short, the demons must build strong, strong, and long-lasting empires.

For example, the Han Dynasty and Rome.

Rome admired polytheism, and every civilization or tribe they conquered had its god line absorbed by Rome.

These gods are all demons.

In the Han Empire, demon worship was hidden, existing in the frontiers and hidden corners of the empire, but it also branched out and profoundly affected the empire.

The demon archdukes laid out in Rome and the Han Empire, spreading their own power, and reached a delicate balance. They no longer fight war for the time being, but control their own spokesmen—mainly the bloods that can manipulate people's hearts: Van Zhuo, Toledo, Larsenlu, Smitz, and Quitin, cooperating with each other and fighting openly and secretly.

During this period of demonic growth, Lucifer naturally had insight into their intentions, and he knew what it would be like if hell came to earth. His love and compassion for humanity remained unchanged from when he was an angel, and he only wanted to guide humanity, discover their potential, and send them to where they should be, just as Ali Maher had prophesied.

But hell will devastate humanity for thousands of years, until there is no cure. These tormented souls in Hell have gathered too many resentments, and if they can do it unscrupulously, it will lead to unspeakable cruelty and malice.

He must stop all this, as the king of demons, and stop hell from coming.

He found a nomad, a nomad unbewitched by demons, with a strong heart and potential equal to that of the rest of humanity, and the point was that Lucifer saw a spark in them.

The spark that the great prophet Angel Ali Maher once promised.

The Hebrews were an ignorant people, unpersuaded primitives, to whom even the demonic archdukes were dismissive and did not even pay any attention to them. But to Lucifer's surprise, in their primitive religious legends, there were creators, angels, fallen ones, and the Great Flood, how could this be? They have been isolated and ignored for a long time, why do they know this?

Lucifer quickly figured it out - they were an ancient people, the blood of the Seth branch, who survived to this day in the torrent of history.

So, he guided this nomadic people to believe in God.

He is Satan, the enemy of God, the ruler and deliverer of demons, but in order to save humanity and ensure that he remains in the shadows undiscovered, he must resort to stronger and more reasonable faith.

He had led mankind out of heaven, from the Garden of Eden, from the First Continent, but now he was indoctrinating God in the Hebrews.

The Hebrews grew stronger, they adhered to a monotheistic belief and rejected multiple gods, contrary to the will of the demons, and the demon archions tried to destroy them, from the time of Babylon and ancient Egypt, to destroy this small tribe.

But in times of crisis, the prophets and great men among them would receive dreams, hear whispers, see hallucinations, and get out of the crisis at a great time, find the right direction, and continue their suffering and wandering.

Even in the toughest of times, their faith has never been interrupted.

The Demon Grand Dukes continued to corrupt and destroy this tribe, but without success. They always escaped, which made Belel smell a strange smell.

He realizes that there is a mysterious power that is helping them, and this power does not come from God, but another power, the owner of which is fully aware of the ways of the Fallen, and strikes back at a critical moment.

However, Bellier was too busy intriguing with the rest of the demonic Grand Dukes to give it a deep thought.

Moreover, they finally found a promising leader among the Hebrews, a submissive who was willing to cooperate.

King David's beloved child, Solomon the Calmon.
