The torches hanging from the walls bring a dim glow to the dark halls and dispel the chill that freezes the soul. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The palace-like confined space was not large, especially since it had a tall throne in its center. The throne occupies about one-third of the space, which can show its majesty and make the entire confined space look more and more narrow.

The ordinary-looking young man sat on the throne, and the comparison of the two volumes made the young man look like the jewel set in the crown of a giant.

I don't know what I remembered, the corners of the young man's mouth hooked upward, and his closed eyes slowly opened. The black eyes give people a mysterious sense of depth, as if there is a vortex that can suck the soul into it.

Looking up, the smile on the young man's lips became a little stiff. It's not the first time he's seen this kind of scene, but every time he looks at it, he feels a kind of emotion in his heart.

There was nothing strange above the youth, just the ceiling, a ceiling that could be reached by reaching out and touching it.

"Alas," the young man sighed softly, "it is obviously a very aristocratic residence, and it feels much better than the three-bedroom apartment I lived in my previous life, but why do I feel like I am living in a basement every time I sit on this throne?"

This youth is Mephistopheles trapped in the statue, and a soul from Earth.

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary young man, but by chance, the soul that should have disappeared in the previous life actually traveled through countless time and space to this material world.

The Will of the World welcomed his arrival, not only because his arrival had boosted the soul reserves of the entire world, but also because the memories of his previous life had helped him in the evolution of the Will of the World.

Thus, the soul on the verge of being shattered was restored with the help of the will of the world, and he also became the undead of the material world from a wandering spirit from the earth.

Reborn, he gave up his original name, cut off his past with his previous life, and completely became a native of the material world with the memories of his previous life. He even gave himself a new name, "Mephistopheles".

Isn't it a nice name? At least he was very happy with the name.

Yes, there is only a first name without a last name. His surname was given to him by the will of the world, and no one knows it except himself and the will of the world, which has no real autonomous consciousness.

Mephistopheles knew that this was the reward and protection given to him by the will of the world. With the will of the world guarding his surname, whether it is a god or something, whether it is a prophecy or some other means, it is impossible to clearly understand his message by a name without a surname.

This is one of the reasons why Mephistopheles would do the promising job of "taking other people's souls", knowing that there are gods in this world.

Originally, Mephistopheles wanted to be a not-so-handsome ghost quietly, and then through his own efforts, he cultivated to become an undead monarch or even a god in charge of death.

The ideal is beautiful, but unfortunately, this innocent wish died quickly.

The one who ruined Mephistopheles' ideals was a knight named Iga, who had a flaw in his head, yes, the true ancestor of the Morte family who had to go to the Endless Abyss to find death.

It was a past that made Mephistopheles laugh, and after a series of encounters, the Knight of Iga sealed Mephistopheles, whom he considered to be an "evil spirit", in a stone statue the size of a palm, intending to bring it back to the temple and hand it over to the High Priest to study the secrets of his soul.

But he didn't make it back to the temple because the goddess of winter, the god he worshipped, had fallen. The temple collapsed as soon as the gods fell, turning into ruins.

Iga and the other Grace Knights began a frenzied revenge on the demons, not caring about their own lives and deaths, but only wanting to show their respect for the goddess who had beheaded the two demon archdukes and severely damaged the demon monarch.

The divine grace and fighting spirit bestowed by the gods gradually disappeared? It doesn't matter, the powerful body tempered by the fighting spirit is still there. It doesn't matter that faith and will can make the weapons in their hands unstoppable.

The fall of the Winter Goddess is a sign that this war between gods and demons is coming to an end.

After the end of the war, the Knights of the Temple of Winter survived. After they had shown their respect for the gods during the war, they began to think about their descendants after the war, except for ...... Iga.

In the battle with the demons, perhaps because of the high value of the statue, or perhaps because of the important commemorative significance of the statue, the statue that sealed Mephistopheles has always been worn by Iga. Mephistopheles, of course, was more likely to be the Iga Knight, who had completely forgotten that he still had a statue on him.

Under the influence of the abyssal aura that volatilized after the demon's death, and under the tempering of Iga's will, while the statue became stronger, the mephistopheles inside also changed under the penetration of the abyssal breath.

Iga went to the Endless Abyss, and he left the statue by his son's side.

Perhaps the Iga Knight wanted this statue he had worn with him to accompany his son, but as for the "evil spirit" sealed inside, the Iga Knight did not think that the other party could survive the infection of the abyssal breath.

Mephistopheles did survive, though, in an alternative life form......

Mephistopheles, who was sitting on the throne, spread out his palms, and a strange book appeared in his hand. This is one of the culprits of his crossing and another manifestation of his soul.

In the process of transformation, he suddenly possessed a strange book, which seemed to be another form of existence of his life, which was not an artifact, but a spiritual evolution of his life by chance.

With the help of books and soul properties, Mephistopheles evades Iga's casual psychic probing. And after he leaves, manipulate the statue to hide in a hidden location on the frozen shore.

Naturally, the new Earl, who was only four months old, and the Ice Giant Bear had no idea of Mephistopheles' existence, nor did they know that a statue that was supposed to be by their side had disappeared.

Over the years, Mephistopheles has absorbed all kinds of human emotions with the help of the books in her hand, and at the same time adjusted her life form according to the guidance of the world's will, so that her wishes could be fulfilled faster.

This new wish is simple, to leave the statue unharmed. Of course, it wasn't the seal he said to Monro that restricted him from leaving, the seal of the Iga Knight had long since disappeared under the impact of the abyssal aura. What really made Mephistopheles afraid to leave this statue was only because his previous life form was not recognized by the will of the world.

It's not that the will of the world can't accept strange life forms, the reason for this kind of thing is that the rules contained in Mephistopheles's life forms that are still changing have not yet been accepted by the will of the world.

However, with Mephistopheles' self-transformation and the help of the will of the world, his life form is now close to perfection. Not only was it recognized and accepted by the will of the world, but it also became a new race in the material world.

Although there is only one life in this race, Mephistopheles, this life form has become one of the various life forms in the material world. Now, all that's missing is a ceremony to name one's own people.

Because of Mephistopheles' contribution to the new life form, the Will of the World has acquiesced to his naming rights. Mephistopheles had already come up with a name for this new life form - "The Devil".

As for Monroe, his soul was the sacrifice that Mephistopheles had prepared for the beginning of the ceremony.

PS: This chapter may be a bit obscure, but I've tried to make it as interesting as possible.

This book will not be set all the time like the previous one, and the plot is the most important thing.

This chapter appears only to add plausibility to the article.

Finally, I would like to thank the book friend "No. 29 Koala" for the reward, and thank you for your support.
