This war was unprecedentedly fierce, in all corners of this abandoned continent, above the peaks, between the clouds, in the blue sky, the primordials and the fallen were all fighting, their blood turned into the rain of the world, their trumpets like wrathful thunder, their swords slicing continents, their magic reshaping the landscape.

Under their leadership, and with the help of the furnaces of the Iron Legion, many great and glorious fortresses have sprung up, some standing in the endless icebergs, some guarding the humans of the plains, some hidden under the sea, some floating high in the sky. These forts developed into fortress cities, followed by empires of prehistoric human civilizations.

One of the most spectacular and miraculous of these is Lucifer's Black Chapel, a symbol of our defiance of heavenly authority, a covenant covenant signed by all fallen people with Lucifer. Its majesty can take away the breath of man, it can fill people's hearts with admiration and keep their eyes on it, it can make people's souls baptized and sublimated, yes, just one look at it, the mages of the human race will awaken.

Yes, it's so amazing because it's Lucifer who weeps over when he first sees humans. His emotions have covered the place with magic that means so much to all the Fallen.

The Black Church reaches into the sky, existing in all planes, and the nine towers are like sharp blades piercing into heaven, causing heaven to shed blood and tears. Beneath the Black Chapel, the furnace of flame that never goes out forges powerful weapons for the Fallen. The second to the sixth level inhabit this place where countless humans live, who have erected stone tablets for us, and who live and multiply in this incomparably vast temple. The seventh to eighth floors are the abode of angels, unpretentious and simple and powerful.

On the ninth floor is the temple of the Dark Church, the Shadow Palace, where the busy Lucifer directs everything and maintains the war against the Primordials.

The Eughur Legion terrified the Legion of the Primordials—they are the most complete portrayal of Cain's concept of murder, and the most realistic practitioners. They invented unbelievable means to kill the primordials like a meat grinder. At the same time, they built a torture chamber in their fortress of Dul, located in the vast desert, to torture both the primordial and the unwilling humans.

As the ruthless Aden puts it, the Ebony Legion sees humanity as a tool, as a slave, as their capital to rebel against heaven, to reap strength from their faith. However, the Ebony Legion is also fighting for humanity, so it has restrained itself and is harsh on the converted humans, but it does not lose its care.

The Iron Legion is one of the most celebrated iron troops on the battlefield, and under the leadership of Dagon, they are disciplined and philanthropic, they help mankind build their homes and invent some tools to make human life better. At the same time, they have earned the respect and reputation of their opponents in battle, they are brave and good at fighting, never flinching, but never carry out unnecessary slaughter. Moreover, they are tolerant of humans on both sides of the faith, neither demanding nor bothering.

The Silver Legion explores this dark continent and finds a portal to connect to the First Continent. At the same time, the Marble Legion is still lurking, but reports from the front indicate that they will stab the most important sword in a pinch, leaving the army dispatched by Heaven in vain.

Lucifer remembers the war, a catastrophe he had glimpsed in a distant black church.

The place where the war took place was the fortress city created by the Heavenly Primordials, almost as great as the Black Church, the Heavenly Gate - Sagan Fortress, which is the place where many famous angels live, and the bridgehead established by the Primordials in the Dark Continent is the starting point for their attacks on the betrayers.

The Ebony Legion took it upon himself to launch this war of annihilation. As they marched toward the fortress, over the unevenly layered, canine-toothed mountains, the Fallen grim-looking and tainted with a bloody glow of contamination—the effects of Cain's murder had intensified, and the Fall of humanity had further corrupted the fallen angels. At this time, they are no longer holy and beautiful, but terrifying and vicious. The path they traveled was littered with destruction.

When they encounter humans who have returned to heaven, they will capture them, join the ranks of slaves, and force them forward, and these people will hardly avoid being thrown on boulders and cut to pieces by sharp blades. The depraved demons of the Ebony Legion sang loudly and laughed as they continued their brutal march.

Upon arrival at Sagan Castle, Biden commanded the fallen angels to cast spells, raining fire from the sky, releasing poison gas from the ground, some angels in charge of beasts unleashed ferocious monsters, and another angel sent the souls of dead humans into the city as weapons, and finally, some of the angels let out a blood-boiling roar, plunging the entire siege force into a great frenzy.

The angels defending the city were no weak, but they were eventually defeated in the face of this fierce and fierce attack. Only a third of the angels fled, went to the First Continent through the portal, and then returned to Heaven, and the remaining angels and humans in the city were killed by Biden.

Shaken by the brutality of the war, Lucifer himself traveled to Sagan, where all the legions gathered in the fallen city.

Facing the army, Lucifer stood at the top of the spire, his eyes terrible and gloomy, and he said, "Order the slaughterer, stand up!" ”

Abiden flapped his blood-stained wings, flew into the air, bowed in front of Lucifer, and said, "Second only to the commander of the Creator, I am the one who commanded this battle. ”

Lucifer looked at the strongest and brave lieutenant with a conflicted mood, and said, "The original intention of our battle was to protect the humans, but you even killed the angels here with the humans. You have distorted the meaning of all legions. ”

"Great Morning Star, I am doing this because the legion of the Creator is so deceitful. They have destroyed all the glory we have created in the First Continent, and now, they want to repeat this tragedy! You also understand that if the Creator cannot have believers in the Dark Continent, his power cannot spread there. ”

Lucifer said, "But look at what you have done, and your means will surely spread throughout the continent, throughout the world, and all mankind will tremble at them." They will no longer see us as gods, saviors, and shepherds, but murderers, tyrants, and .... Demon. ”

My heart chilled when I heard the word, perhaps this was the first time the word demon had appeared in the world, and since then, the fallen have a new name, which will undoubtedly exacerbate their corruption. And Lucifer, the King of Demons, has been remembered in the annals of history ever since.

At this time, Yazlar flew forward and said, "It was the human race that took the blame, it was Cain who murdered Abel, and Abel's blood shook the universe and imprinted the law of murder in our hearts, so we will wield battle axes and swords and kill our enemies with the most brutal means." We suffer for humanity, we bear all the guilt, and we end up falling because of humanity. ”

Asmodeus, who also joined Abiden and Yazlar, said: "In the beginning, the disaster that Alimaher encountered was human. Humanity is the source of all this evil. We were dismayed by Ali Maher's prophecy and acted on our own initiative, leaving us in a predicament from which we could never recover. Now we have no choice but to become demons if we want to defeat the enemies of Heaven. ”

Lucifer looked sadly at his three lieutenants, and Dagon and Belel flew behind him, showing their support for Lucifer, but Lucifer also felt the doubts in their hearts. Lucifer said, "Anger and impulsiveness have changed you, and there has been a rift between us. Don't forget, we have lost the support of the Creator, and our only source of strength is the faith of humanity, but if you put the butcher's knife on you, this faith will one day disappear, and then the tide will pass. ”

"You are the greatest and most powerful of us, and we are still doing what you command," Biden said. However, individuals have different minds about the ideal kingdom. There are so many human beings, you don't have to follow only one model - the model of the Black Church, you can take care of them as darlings, and I will be like a stern parent and a king, whipping them to grow faster. ”

Asmodeus smiled, "You asked me to open up different paths on the Dark Continent, and I realized that the paths are different, but the end may be the same. You are still my Commander-in-Chief whom I respect from the bottom of my heart, but please allow me to be free. ”

Yazlar said: "You ordered me to hide in the blind spot of the enemy's vision, which made the enemy tired. In the Dark Continent, each of our legions has the strength to overwhelm the heavenly armies due to human faith, and instead of concentrating together, it is better to scatter around the world and exhaust the enemy. ”

Lucifer then replied, "Very well, perhaps, as you said, there is not a single road to the end, and fighting on multiple fronts will make the enemy unguardable. Then, take your legions and go to expand your territory. But remember, remember that we rely on human beings, and human beings look up to us, this is the bottom line that cannot be loosened. Once the bottom line is broken, we will be irretrievable. At that time, I will see you as traitors and will turn you to ashes. ”

The Legionnaires trembled at the words of the most powerful Fallen, and then they departed, going their separate ways. Lucifer looked at the departing legions and fell into loneliness and pessimism.

He returned to the Black Chapel and sat down on the dark Shadow Throne, thinking of the vanished wise man Ali Maher, and the lingering shadow that once haunted his heart reappeared, and he couldn't help but ask himself, "Who is that viper?" What is it? Why was it able to pluck the fruit of wisdom and let Eve eat it? What kind of power does that need? ”

Who exactly is the enemy? Is it the Creator? Or is it someone else?

He told himself that he couldn't doubt, he couldn't hesitate, he couldn't retreat, it was too late.
