A slightly awkward silence.

"Hah, ha, ha!" The woman who was left to the side expressed her displeasure in a rather exaggerated way, and then crouched down, her beautiful face and rough beard almost leaned together, and she simply and rudely opened the eyes of the half-cut corpse, stared at the dull brown pupils, and said threateningly, "Or do you want me to invite you personally?" ”

Almost at the same time as the words fell, the eyes of the dead man inexplicably brightened, and a dark blue halo first appeared in the center of the pupil, and then exploded like a bright galaxy, and instantly infected the entire pupil.

"Who are you?"

He asked, his shriveled lips making a cold sound.

"You guess?" the visitor winked rather playfully, "If you guess right......

Deliberately elongated tones.

"There won't be any rewards!"

"The style of the dice house is as bad as ever. Giant Paul, or the being who resides in the body of Giant Paul, said in an affirmative tone, his dark blue eyes without any ups and downs, as calm as a pool of stagnant water that does not make ripples, "So, which of the Seven Apostles are you? ”

"I'm Samantha," said herself, showing off her white coat, "as you can see, it's just a doctor who happened to pass by." ”

As if thinking of something funny, she burst out laughing, her eyes narrowing into slits.

"Of course, it's okay to say it's a beautiful girl passing by. ”

The dead on the ground, as a matter of course, remained silent.

"Michelangelo must have loved you, ma'am. After laughing to herself for a while, Samantha restrained the smile on her face, shook her collar quite aura, and clasped her hands around her chest, "If there is no reason for this, I am afraid that the flame of war has already been ignited, or it will not be long before there will be only one voice left in the lower area." ”

"What do you mean?" the being who lodged in the corpse of the giant Paul raised an eyebrow.

"Literally. The apostle of the dice house spread his hands, and an ambiguous smile appeared on his beautiful face, "Human beings are really great and selfish creatures, and the dreams that he once harbored were imminent, but Michelangelo was able to restrain his ambitions and desires, and let Ignati subvert the lower districts and all the hard work he had worked on for nearly thirty years. ”

"What the hell do you want to say?" Gloria—for some reason, the Lord of Shadows, who had been known as Michelangelo's wife for thirty years, panicked for no reason, as if she had touched a truth that she absolutely did not want to know, let alone touch.

"Michelangelo is working with Ignati. Speaking in a calm tone that was enough to shock the world, Samantha waved her hand, "Although there is no evidence, the two obviously have this tacit understanding. ”

"It can't be. The words that completely blurted out illustrate the wavering of the heart.

"Nothing is impossible - there are no eternal enemies, no permanent friends, there are, only eternal interests. Samantha paused, an inexplicable smile on her face, "For them, it's just a matter of taking what they need." Ignati would not interfere with Michelangelo's rule after completing his goal, and Michelangelo would not stand in the way of Ignati's actions. ”

"But what does he get?" Gloria, the Shadow King of the Lower Realm, keenly aware of the loophole in the Dice House Apostle's words, "he won't get anything." ”

He, without a doubt, was referring to Michelangelo.

"No, you're getting one thing wrong. Samantha paused rather subtly for a moment, looking her up and down with an aggressive gaze, making the Shadow King of the Lower Realm seem to have an illusion, an illusion that the other party's gaze swept over the carrier in front of her, and she was seen through her whole body, "He's not getting nothing, at least...... He got you. ”

"Nonsense. "Forcefully deny it.

"It seems that he has nothing to say to you," the subtle gaze of the Apostle of the Dice House pierced Gloria's heart, but she had nothing to say, because—"In that case, I will explain to you from the beginning, Ignati, the dark traveler who has returned from the depths of the night, what a terrible monster is born in his heart." ”

After clearing her throat, Samantha continued: "In this world, everyone has their own pursuits, some people pursue power, some people pursue beauty, some people pursue money, some people pursue power, and so on, but there is one category of people whose pursuits are the most noble, the most great, and the most ...... Terrible - in the popular knightly novels of the moment, they are often called saviors. ”

Speaking of this, the woman in the white coat couldn't help but sneer:

But in the real world, what is the savior? Their efforts, their sacrifices, may bring hope and light to one or two people, but it is more likely...... Or drag the world into the abyss of disaster. ”

"So—" The dead man, who had only half a body left on the ground, suddenly spoke.

"Ignati seeks a wonderful, rich world. The Apostle of the Dice House sighed, "However, he does not know the sad and desperate nature of this world, and when he puts his vision and blueprint into action, there is no doubt that the lower part of Hemtika will face an unprecedented catastrophe, and perhaps since the fall of the Misty Zone, this ancient city will lose its second wall." ”

"What the hell is he trying to do. Gloria asked.

"It's easy," Sasha Man paused, then gave the answer, "he wanted to open the door—open the door to the lower and foggy areas, and make the two merge." ”

"He's crazy!" Even the King of Shadows of the Lower Realm, the true master of the Dead Kingdom, couldn't help but change his expression at this moment, "This is playing with fire!"

"yes, playing with fire. The Apostle of the Dice House nodded, "You know better than me how many high-level demons are roaming in the Misty Zone, even if they are not all as skillfully able to avoid the rules and use power as you do, but the huge base is there, and there must be a terrible force in it that is enough to subvert Michelangelo's rule, once the door is opened, these ignorant monsters flood into the city, what will happen to the lower districts, you should be able to imagine." ”

Gloria didn't speak, and it was indeed conceivable that hellish picture.

"Michelangelo had no reason to be his accomplice, he was a hero, a true hero, and what he longed for was to establish a true order, to maintain the long-term stability of the lower districts by law rather than violence. As a wife, not a subordinate, she retorted in pale and feeble words, "There is no reason for him to allow Ignati's dangerous actions, much less to join forces with him." ”

"No, you know, he does. The woman in white named Sashaman looked at him with compassion for her, who was lodged on the giant Paul, "Man always changes—he wants to be the hero of one person more than to be a hero to all, even if it means betrayal, betrayal of his ideals, betrayal of his own robes, betrayal of the spirit of the victim who ascended into heaven, betrayal of all the efforts he has made in the past thirty years, he is, is, no, regrets." ”

One word at a time.

"I'm ......," Gloria's voice through Paul at this moment was not only not full of breath as before, but was full of a little woman's weakness, "I, I know." ”

"Good. The Apostle of the Dice House nodded with satisfaction, "Now that you know, let's act quickly, stop the actions of the House of the Lost, and I'll wait here with great anticipation, waiting for the good news to come—"

However, her voice came to an abrupt halt in the next moment.

"But so what. The "power" contained in the voice suddenly rose, and it was clear that it was only the will of a woman who lived in the body of the deceased, but there was an extraordinary courage, "Man always changes, he is so, and so am I, please pay attention - now it is not Michelangelo's wife Gloria, but the mask of the King of Shadows in the lower districts." ”

"People?" Sasha chuckled, "You say you're human—"

But in an instant, her beautiful face was as cold as ice.

"You - murderous demon. ”

"It seems that there is a lack of respect and trust between us. "Gloria, no, it's the King of Shadows of the lower district who coldly retaliates," besides, for the dice house, it shouldn't be difficult to stop Ignati's actions, as long as any three of the seven apostles make a move, they should be able to plow the dust off their bodies and plow the lower area. ”

"It seems that Michelangelo knew a lot of things. Sashaman narrowed her eyes, and a dangerous aura permeated her, "In that case, I'll tell you the truth - it can't be done, the things in the upper district are too big, and the dark ministers shouldn't have fought 'him' idea, if Ignati is just playing with fire, then those guys from the Chaos Sect are shaking the foundation of this world." ”

"Sounds serious. The mask said casually.

"That's right, if the news is true, if you are not careful, Hemtika will truly become history. The Apostle of the Dice House sighed, "So, we really can't spare the energy to deal with Ignati's actions, not to mention that the Dark Traveler who has returned from the depths of the night is far more difficult to deal with than you think. ”

"So, what are you going to do. The Shadow King of the Lower Regions asked mockingly, "Is it to support the 'protagonists' of this generation, so that they can uphold the destiny of heaven and go to defeat the evil demon king?"

"If only there was a 'protagonist'. Sashaman shook his head, and suddenly looked down at her, a few smiles in the corners of his eyes, "Wait—do you think that Ulysses guy is our destined 'protagonist', if so...... That's funny. ”

She paused:

"That one, he's not a brave man, he's a real demon king!"

- Even so, in times of crisis, it is reasonable for weak humans to seek the power of the Demon King.

This sentence, until the end, she did not say it.

Because...... For the survival and development of the lower districts, Emperor Michelangelo still has the value of survival.

Gloria wasn't yet ready to die.

"Fate" brought such a revelation, which the apostles had to obey.
