Chapter 167: Lord Almighty?
That night, Simon was alone in a deserted place, and after making sure that the Blood Clan had left their territory, he was going to do something.
He looked around carefully to make sure no one was following him. He clasped his hands together unhurriedly, and his mouth kept on his lips.
"Lord Almighty... Believe that your people have lost their way, and we hope that you will help us point us to a new direction when your people are lost......"
He kept thinking about it all the time. As time passed, he didn't know how many times he had repeated the sentence.
And so, about ten minutes passed.
A flash of light appeared directly above Simon, but this time it was not white, but black.
The light slowly landed in front of Simon, and then as the light faded, an old man appeared in front of him.
He was on crutches and looked radiant, and although there were a few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, it was impossible to tell his age by his appearance alone.
That's right, he's the ruler of hell - Mephisto!
It is not the "Almighty Lord" that appears, but the "root of evil"! If anyone sees it, he will certainly be very surprised, after all, he is talking about the "Almighty Lord," and Mephisto cannot be called this title.
"Demon King ......"
Simon's expression was calm, and he was not surprised by Mephisto's appearance. On the contrary, he seemed to know that the one he prayed for would be Mephisto!
"My great people, you have lost your way?!"
Mephisto still had a kind face. If you put him together with a normal old person, you can't see any difference in him at all.
"Your son, the Blackheart Demon has now set its sights on us, and the people of the Blood Clan have just left our realm. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold it, can you guarantee the safety of my people......"
It turned out that Simon was afraid that he would be outnumbered, and that the agreement between the demon king and himself would fail, so he called the demon king to appear!
"Last time, I remember that Blackheart couldn't beat you, could he? Simon?!" the Demon King said, smiling kindly as he surrounded Simon and continued, "Blackheart is not as strong as you at all. He can't even break through your [telekinesis], let alone your [Sons of the Empire] with the strongest defense. ”
"But, Lord Almighty... Why did you send the Midnight Children into our dimension?"
Simon did not stand up, but continued to kneel. Wherever the Demon King goes, his head is underneath.
"You want to say that I broke the agreement between us, don't you?" said the Demon King directly what Simon wanted to say.
"It's... Yes......" Simon replied with a shudder.
"[Midnight's Suns], they are a very good group of warriors. It was because of their presence that they were able to save your country and save the Earth that was about to be ruled by Zatanos. The reason why I created the Troop without your consent. First, I noticed my black heart demon's bad heart, and second, I also wanted to protect you. ”
Simon was a little confused.
"Why don't you go to this dimension in person and bring the Blackheart Demon back?"
"I'm in the same dimension as him, and his power is much greater than mine......" The Demon King was about to say something next, but stopped again.
"Lord Almighty, can I offend you and ask you a question......
When Simon said this, he himself had no confidence at all.
"Tell me... My esteemed believers. ”
"They say you're violating the agreement between us, you're no longer pampering us, you're no longer protecting us, right......"
As soon as Simon finished speaking, the Demon King was enraged by Simon's words, and the Demon King, who was a little angry, hit the ground with his cane.
"Boom!"
After that, the Demon King slowly walked up to Simon and stared at him.
"Has your faith changed?Simon?Who made you question me like that?!"
The Demon King's speech this time no longer has that gentle tone, but a kind of drinking tone.
But Simon didn't respond to the Demon King's shouting, he just lowered his head and didn't speak, in fact, he was waiting for the Demon King's answer.
"If I break the agreement between us, then what else do I need you [Sons of the Empire] for? I need you because you have the strength to protect the Seal [Mind Flayer]! When I divided his power into four equal parts, I thought that one day it would happen! Now, it has arrived!"
The Demon King surrounded Simon as he spoke.
"Your [Mental Power] is something that the current Blackheart Demon can't compete with! he wants to plunder the [Heartsnatcher] alone in this dimension, it's not very realistic, Simon!"
The Demon King's tough tone made Simon once again firm in his belief that the goal was right. With his head down, he kept kowtowing to the Demon King.
"Lord Almighty... I'm wrong about you..."
In fact, Simon's heart is simple, and after he bows his head to the demon king and admits his mistake, the demon king is actually laughing in his heart. This is what he looks like and can't tell!
"Can this Simon be called a descendant of the Empire? It's ridiculous......" The Demon King smiled silently in his heart.
"That'...... Zatanos, will he be resurrected?......" Simon asked the Demon King another question.
"Why do you ask?!" Mephisto's tone didn't sound so crisp.
"The sixth generation knight in this dimension, the soul in his body is Zatanos, I can feel it. ”
"How can you feel it?...... Demon King asked rhetorically, of course he wanted to hear how Simon could sense that Jason's soul was the culprit who had lost his empire.
"The people of the Blood Clan have been hiding the sixth generation of knights, and I can see how important the sixth generation knights are to them. Lord Almighty... Will he be resurrected?"
"No, it won't. ”
"Really?!" Simon was a little surprised at this time, and he looked up at the demon king on crutches in disbelief.
Mephisto nodded again.
"I made him a knight just to keep peace in your dimension. After I found out that Blackheart had this kind of resistance, I sent the soldiers first. Because I know how powerful the Black Heart is, I feel that you need him to defeat them. ”
At this time, the Demon King smiled kindly again and looked at Simon.
"Do you think that's part of our agreement?"
Simon was already starting to waver a little inside. All Mephisto gave him was to seal and protect the [Mind Flayer], so as to exchange the safety of his own people from the Demon King. But now it seems that the agreement between the two of them has made no sense.
Simon and their clan can restrain the Black Heart Demon from snatching the Heart Snatcher, why are there so many more knights now?
He doesn't understand......
"Then it's up to you, Simon. If this level of blackhearts can remove the Mind Flayer from your seal, then it doesn't count. ”
Mephisto's words, crisp and neat!
"Are you up to the task? If not, we can terminate the agreement between us now. Mephisto saw Simon's momentary hesitation, and he asked Simon in a questioning tone.
"No, no, no, we can, as long as the Lord Almighty keeps my people safe!"
Simon nodded several times, and he had to be sure of Mephisto's questioning.
Mephisto's powerful abilities, although Simon has not seen his strength, but the history of the empire has more than once mentioned the horror of the Demon King.
"Well, good, if nothing happens, I'll go first. Your [Children of the Empire] is tasked with protecting the sealed Mind Flayer, and that is enough. ”
"Almighty Lord ......," Simon bowed his head again, put his hands together in prayer.
Mephisto turned into a black light and disappeared in front of Simon in the blink of an eye.
"Simon!!!"
As soon as Mephisto left, Nancy's voice could be heard behind Simon. Simon quickly stood up, patted the dead leaves stuck to his knees, and responded in the direction of the voice.
"Here!"
Nancy heard Simon's response and trotted over, letting out a long sigh of relief when she saw that Simon was safe.
"What are you doing here in the middle of the night? I thought you were given something by the Blood Clan. ”
"It's okay, I just can't sleep, take a walk," Simon gave Nancy a casual excuse and continued, "Aren't the people of the Blood Clan gone?"
"I'm afraid they're just giving us a false impression. ”
"Alright, it's nothing to do now, let's go back, it's not too early. Simon swept past Nancy and walked towards their camp.
"Don't you think it's strange that they left without saying a word?"
I still remember that Hunter promised Nancy to help Simon regain his fighting spirit. Now that Hunter's group had left without saying hello, Nancy had to think that Hunter had broken his word against her.
"Let's go, don't you want them here?" Simon glanced back at Nancy.
"No, it's best to go, it's best to go. Nancy pretended nothing had happened.
The two accompanied each other and walked back to their camp.
