There are many tricks used by the devil to disintegrate the minds of others, and many of them are no longer applicable with the development of society. But one of the oldest and most useful tricks is still relevant today.

This trick is called "secret".

In a sense, those who have mastered the "secret" have supreme power. As the Demon King, Mandus is well versed in this ancient technique, and in order to uncover all kinds of secrets, he has built the world's largest and most widely distributed central surveillance technology company. And from this point of view, Shuji Tsushima, who took over this sea of numbers, was the most strategically valuable captive.

The memory structure of demons is different from that of humans, and Shuji Tsushima gave up strengthening his combat skills and specially strengthened his memory when he was promoted to a high-level demon. If he were allowed to fully inherit the power of his previous director, he might be able to transform into a more terrifying being than the electro-demon he had been killed before.

However, after he voluntarily offered his real name to Lu Mengyao, the magician immediately grasped a powerful boost.

"According to the statistics of the intercepted numbers so far, heads of government and related administrators of various countries are occupied by some kind of ...... 'xenogeneic life', which accounts for a proportion ranging from 40 to 95 percent...... If you look closely, there are also some old acquaintances who are familiar to all of you among the delegates present. Coupled with the nuclear bombing of the British capital a few hours ago, I am sure you are already very surprised and puzzled by this series of events. ”

The people gathered in the conference hall were all diplomatic ministers of various countries, and compared with the rest of the government departments, the changes in the diplomatic department were relatively slight. That is why the Security Council can gather so many people for a meeting at this time.

Ignoring the questions of some of the people in the audience, the magician continued to read his manuscript: "This is the envoy of the Silver Bag Tower, Kyle. Successor to Mr. Ryder. Mr. Shuji Tsushima. Since the previous nuclear supersaturation bombing was aimed at the Silver Bag Tower, so. Technically, we are partly responsible for this change. ”

"Who the hell are you?" Someone in the audience shouted loudly.

"We're here. It was to negotiate with the seventy-two monarchs. The world has undergone this transformation and has entered a new era, which is different from the new era of human civilization in the previous 2,000 years. Coming out of the shadows, you will no longer be in the shadows, but you will rule the new world with your true power. This is the program of the 'Second Hell Kingdom'. ”

No one spoke in the audience for a while, and even when they encountered two world-twisting and abnormal changes in one day, most of them were silent, wondering if this was a prank made by some madman.

"Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to give a little explanation. Perhaps you have not heard the real names of these seventy-two monarchs. But you must have heard the names by which they walked. All of you, without exception, are serving them in different ways, and you have taken their bribes and driven by them - the goal of the Second Hell Realm is not to change the status quo, but to unite these seventy-two demons of great power under one banner. Because next, the enemy we will face will be beyond the reach of armies and forces alone. The fall of Manduth is only the first sound of the trumpet of the Apocalypse, and if we cannot withstand the ensuing all-out war, then blood and fire will descend on every land on earth. ”

The drum noise from the audience began to get louder. Lu Mengyao flipped the page and read out a long list of names. Some of these names are the rulers of the country, some are the world's famous billionaires, philanthropists, scientists, opinion leaders, heads of underground powers, party leaders of radical political factions, directors, writers, pop music superstars...... to later. Some of the names even had a simple letter, a code name, and these names made the noisy delegates in the audience gradually quiet down. Some people turn pale. Because they used to take benefits from these mysterious people who only had code names.

“…… The names they used...... Fifteen more pages. To save us time, let's just summon them next. The magician paused before chanting the incantation. Do you think this scene is very funny? To be honest, even I feel that way. ”

Bang!

The door to the conference room, which was supposed to be closed, was slammed open with a huge force. The security guards were broken by the clouds of birds, thousands of black birds flapped their wings with incredible coordination, but none of them made a call, and the noisy flapping of wings drowned out the screams of the delegates, and the black flock hovered high in the vast conference hall, and then descended to the ground, transforming into a robe giant three meters high - to be precise, his head was not a human head, but the head of a crow.

The scene was beyond the reach of mortals, and the terrified crowd crowded to try to flee, only to be overwhelmed by the quicksand that came from nowhere, and the quicksand swept into the venue like living water, tripping the diplomats trying to escape. It forms a subtle angle with the crow, and the quicksand spires upward, condensing into the shape of a young child.

Suddenly, countless visions descended on the venue. Flowing water, flames, knights that appear out of thin air, lions, dolls, giant fish...... When the dust settled, the conference room was already occupied by twelve strange shapes. Their forms are so strange that even sane people on the scene can hardly accept these strange beings.

Among them, the most normal face is an old man in a tunic who emerges from the air. He stood at the forefront of the twelve great demons, looking directly at Lu Mengyao.

Your soul...... It's an amorphous flame. His voice sounded like an echo from a dry well, and it sounded strangely unreal, "Go on, Flame Man, about the apocalypse you mentioned. 】

"His Royal Highness Agares......" Shuji Tsushima bowed respectfully.

[From the moment Mandus fell, we began to pay attention to you, through our channels. I am convinced that Manduth's death is directly related to you. The crow took a step forward, but was stopped by a beautiful sheep-horned demon woman, [What do you want to do? Bafengte? Trying to stop the great Amun? 】

[As a result of the event, Mandus's reign ended, and then our ascendancy. Dressed in a black suit. The curvy and slender demon woman spoke with a finger against her chin, her voice hoarse and charming. The huge horns of the circling goat pierced through the slightly curly long black hair, and Lu Mengyao couldn't help but stare at her face.

Mandus alone is enough to overwhelm us. The power that can kill it is a great threat to us. In this new world where the rules change, there is no god, no master, only the authority of the strong. For the sake of our future, I build yì we will do our best to encircle and suppress these ...... Anomaly. 】

The crow man named Amon retorted in a deep voice.

"By the way, in my personal opinion, it's in our common interest to work with us." Lu Mengyao sat in the chairman's seat and knocked on the table with the magic guide book with a sullen face, "If you don't even have the patience to listen to me." I don't mind talking by force. A bunch of junk that even Mandus can't beat, and it would be as useful to count on you to raise a new generation. ”

The demons were silent for a moment, no matter what, it was a definite fact that Mandus, who had ruled Hell for nine thousand years, had been exterminated by unprecedented violence.

"In short, in view of your overdevelopment in the human realm, or the time of the Apocalypse is finally activated. The angels decided to start an all-out war between light and darkness, using the human world as the final battlefield of good and evil. Mandus was too conspicuous on the table, and this time he was killed directly with pure violent interference. ”

[This is not like what they are used to.] The old man twisted the beard on his chin, [Angels interfere with the human world and use dreams and prophets the most...... The occasional reincarnation of a celestial realm is the most drastic of tactics. 】

"Because this time they 'inspired' a group of mercenaries with anomalous powers." Lu Mengyao lit a cigarette. "And we are assistants on Mandus's side. If you've heard the name Sparta, you probably know that he had a son. ”

[Dante.] The son of Manduth's eccentric brother. A creature that looks like a plant is inserted.

Dante was also one of the men who assassinated Mandus. It looked like his mother's side had found him. ”

[What do you want to do if all-out war really comes?] The demonic woman known as Bafont stepped forward and touched the back of the magician's hand on the table with her slender nails. But it is blocked by an invisible force field diaphragm.

"Victory. And this requires the power of plural archdemons. We must unite our forces as a single body in order to have a chance of confronting the angels and bringing the faith of darkness to ...... Spread depravity, lust, egoism throughout the world. Lu Mengyao shook off her hand quietly.

[Seriously.] Dear lovely icy hot little lady, since three thousand years ago. King of Israel, after the cunning Solomon. No one else can lead the seventy-two Demon Monarchs. Here's an interesting question, who is in charge? 】

The demon woman almost pressed half of her body against her, and asked softly in her ear.

"Me." Lu Mengyao said succinctly.

The demons all showed strange expressions.

"The first reason: I'm better than any of you. The second reason: without me, you idiots who have been fighting each other for thousands of years would not have cooperated. The third reason...... I have the "seal of Solomon." ”

The magician flipped open his palm, and on the slender ring finger of his left hand, an old ring was facing inward, luster like dull brass.

"By this commandment, I can force you to do my will. But I didn't want our relationship to be too strained, so ...... This seal will be given to Mr. Shuji Tsushima. Mr. Shuji Tsushima will be your new leader. ”

The demon standing behind her gracefully took the ring and solemnly placed it on his hand. The faces of the twelve demons, all but Bafont, had become unusually ugly at the moment.

[The ring used by the real Solomon was destroyed by hellfire two thousand years ago, and I witnessed this process with my own eyes. Except for the legendary Belier, no one can make it. Where did your ring come from? The old man named Agareth asked breathlessly.

"Secret." The magician chuckled. (To be continued......)
