199. Mephistopheles
Siffel sat back on the obsidian throne, thinking about the whole thing, going through every node in his mind, and more and more aware of the strangeness of the event.
The Crow Marauders are Bell's minions, why do the senior cadres of the Crow Marauders carry the statue of Mephistopheles?
Bell, the talker, and now there's another Mephistopheles, and there are a lot of people watching over him? Siefel clutched his head and smiled helplessly.
There are still two days left before the agreed day to hunt the mysterious angel, and we can only hope that there will be no accidents.
···········
The eighth layer of hell.
In the depths of the never-ending blizzard and the endless ice field as far as the eye can see, there is a huge ice palace like a mountain, more than a kilometer high, crystal clear like a crystal palace
In the main hall of the Ice Palace, there are faint signs of melting. Several cracks pierced the floor, ceiling, and walls, occasionally emitting hot steam and crimson tongues of fire, and all parts that touched the hot steam and flames were moistened by the melting of the snow and ice, revealing an eerie scene of fire and ice blending.
On the throne of the main hall, a throne carved from thousands of years of ice, is a man wearing a pure white plush coat, his skin is as pale as frost. He leaned lazily against the cold throne with half-squinted eyes and a maniacal smile on his lips.
In his divine perception were thousands of majestic mathematical symbols and occult symbols, dotted with star-like shining points of light.
One of the thousands of stars was extinguished just now.
If you zoom in on the point of light of this shining star, you can see the image inside - it is the obsidian core control room in the depths of the castle of Lord Sephel.
At the same time as the stars dimmed, the whole picture, like broken glass, disappeared into fragments.
"Has it been discovered?" The man sat up slightly straight, his eyes open, and muttered to himself.
Mephistopheles didn't show the slightest bit of frustration and frustration, and the crazy smile on the corners of her mouth grew even thicker and deeper.
·············
In Siefer's private secret room, on the cold iron chair, the figure of the purple-haired boy sketched out of thin air.
Mephistopheles is most likely a divine power existent. This is a not small secret and must be notified to the Goddess.
As he thought, Siefer's palm flipped up, and the golden feathers appeared in Siefer's palm, emitting a brilliant light like the sun, dispelling the dense darkness around him.
Injecting his consciousness into the feather, Siffer's mind once again crossed the barrier of the plane and led to the celestial realm of the Radiant Maiden.
After a while, a light figure slowly took shape, it was a vague and illusory, shimmering figure, as if shrouded in clouds, and it could be vaguely seen that it was a veiled goddess, wearing a gorgeous robe that was so white that there was no stain in the slightest.
The figure of the shining girl was presented in front of Seefer.
"Siefer, you've finally contacted me again." The Radiant Maiden appeared, her eyes soft and kind:
"Do you want to discuss, the plan you said earlier to bring players back to the Celestial Realm?"
Siphiel shook his head with a solemn expression:
"Goddess, no.
"The eighth duke of hell, Mephistopheles, may be a god!"
His communication with the goddess is inherently spiritual, so he doesn't worry that Mephistopheles will perceive it by mentioning his name.
"Tell me what you find, Siffer." The glorious girl's expression froze, and her expression became a little solemn.
So, Siefel informed the Radiant Maiden of the series of events just now, and incidentally explained the recent situation of his recent hunt for the devil under Bell's command.
After a brief debriefing, Siefel concluded:
"I've always heard that although most of the Devil Grand Dukes will develop their own cult forces in the material world, unlike other Devil Grand Dukes, Mephistopheles prefers to let their cultists stay alive in the material world, rather than wanting them to die early and their souls fall into hell.
"Now it seems that Mephistopheles has developed his faith in different worlds through this form, drawing on the power of faith and maintaining divinity."
The Radiant Maiden patiently listened to what Siefel said, nodded slightly, and praised:
"Siffer, you are quite alert, and you deserve to boast. While rumors have persisted that Mephistopheles might be a god, your discovery has undoubtedly strengthened the possibility. This is an important piece of information. I will find a suitable opportunity to remind the celestial paragons that, of course, your identity will not be revealed. ”
As she spoke, the goddess's expression softened a little, and a smile bloomed on her face:
"Siffer, with the merits you have accumulated now, you can get the priesthood card. I look forward to the day when you ascend to the status of a divine being. ”
Sifer's expression was a little overwhelmed. According to the merit algorithm agreed upon by the Council of Gods of the Heavenly Realm, he calculated a little and said in confusion:
"Shouldn't that be enough? Even if you add the information that Mephistopheles may be a god. I remember that according to the merit algorithm of the Council of the Celestial Gods, this kind of information, which was already widely rumored, was not worth much merit at all. Besides, I can't really be sure that Mephistopheles must have ascended to God. ”
The Radiant Maiden smiled and said:
"Siefer, how did you forget. You also killed quite a few high-level demons, including two ninth-order demons. This can also be included in the merit calculation. ”
"But······ I hope to exchange the feat of killing the devil for the goddess your avatar once, although it may not be enough. After all, I still have a summoning charm······" Siefel was a little distracted.
"Don't worry too much about the merit algorithm set by those guys who can't eat the ancients." The Radiant Maiden laughed and waved her hand, "It's a big deal that I'll make a free move, and it's not a big deal if I take a trip to hell." ”
Siefel was still a little hesitant, but didn't say anything more after all.
The gods of the heavenly realm and the evil gods of hell have always had a tacit understanding that they would not step into each other's planes unless necessary, otherwise they might encounter reciprocal retaliation. This is also one of the reasons why the angels ask the gods to incarnate in hell and have to consume a lot of merit.
Although the Radiant Maiden is one of only two main god-level beings in the Heavenly Realm, she has no interest in the political and social arena of the Heavenly Realm. In the Council of Celestial Gods, the prestige of the Radiant Maiden is far inferior to that of another main god-level existence, the elven main god Corian.
If the incarnation is found to appear in hell, the goddess will naturally face a certain amount of pressure.
Siphiel was full of thoughts, and he put his thoughts away, and asked the goddess again:
"Your Excellency the Radiant Maiden, I mentioned before that if you want to bring the player back to the Celestial Realm, can this be achieved?"
This was an idea that Siphiel had mentioned to the goddess before, and the goddess was not sure at the time, thinking that she needed to spend some time studying it.
The goddess replied:
"I've recently studied the magic constructs you provide, and I've come to a preliminary conclusion.
"Just rebuilding the spawn point magic array, there are no technical difficulties. But you pull the player's soul to project into Hell, relying on the contract signed between the player and you, which belongs to the Devil's Contract ability that comes with your Devil's Skin, and its standard effect is to drag the soul of a mortal into Hell. If you return to the Heavenly Realm, this ability may not be able to work properly.
"Maybe you can relearn other similar spells to achieve similar results, but until then, there is a high probability that the game will not work as usual, and you will need to re-sign contracts with existing players, and the effect is not guaranteed."
Listening to the words of the goddess, Sifer nodded slightly, and said with a slight doubt:
"Goddess, can't you do that with your powers? It's like the soul that led me in the first place. ”
The Radiant Maiden shook her head and said with some regret, "This may be difficult to explain, but for some reason, I can't access the souls of the Blue Star people on a large scale. ”
Is it because of the prohibition that makes it difficult for the goddess to leave the divine realm? Or is she worried that using her divine power to attract a large number of Blue Star people will be easy to be discovered by other celestial gods, and it will be more hidden for me, an angel who does not often appear? Siefel didn't think much about it, just frowned slightly, a little worried.
If it really can't bring the player base back to the Celestial Realm, then Dawn will have to shut down.
"But, Siffer, it's not that there is no other way." The Radiant Maiden smiled slightly when she saw the gloom on Sifer's face.
