Beneath the scarlet sky is a vast wasteland.

The wasteland cracked everywhere, and deep in the crevices, a faint glow like lava shimmered.

The air on the surface is also distorted and trance-like, silently proving that the climate here is so hot that normal people can't survive at all.

But the strange thing is that there are many human figures scattered in this area.

They were shriveled and emaciated, their ribs clearly protruding, as if they had been baked into dried corpses, but they could still roll on the ground and wail in pain.

Some people can't stand it anymore, and they will even scratch their eyes or throat and other vital points.

It seems that this form can be used to divert attention and relieve the pain all over the body.

Such a scene is called hell.

In fact, it's hell indeed.

And it's the outermost hell.

Some people who have fallen after death have fallen to this place known as the Wilderness of Eternal Extinction, where they suffer the slightest torture in the eyes of the demons.

In other words, it's actually a "novice village".

The soul body that appears here can still be called a human being, and only when it is out of the novice village can it barely have a trace of the characteristics of hellish life.

And since it is a novice village, it is of course impossible for the hellish beings who have been out of the novice range to enter at will, so as not to destroy the source of hell.

It's just that at this moment, this rule has been quietly broken.

Deep underneath the wilderness is a sea of magma, extremely hot, and without any voids to survive.

But at this time, a black dragon was lying quietly at the bottom of this terrifying magma.

The dragon is huge, and when it lies down, it can be called a small mountain range, and the strange golden lines flowing on the black scales are like art murals, making it look spectacular and beautiful.

I don't know, I thought this was some kind of epic creature from the ancient mythological era.

However, it is actually a demon king.

The Greedy Demon King.

There are many species in hell.

The devil and the devil are just the two races with the most existence, but they are not the strongest in the overall quality.

And just like some human beings who die will go through all kinds of cruel tortures in hell and eventually transform into demons or demons.

Dragons, beings at the top of the worldly food chain, also have a chance to degenerate into dark monsters after death.

After being transformed, they are called the Abyssal Dragons, and they are also beings who stand at the top of the chain of infernal creatures.

It's just that compared to humans, the rules for the fall of dragons are stricter, and the success rate of transformation is not high, so the number of magic dragons is very rare.

Even if it is born, it will generally be tamed into a mount by some high-level hellish life, and it is difficult to have a chance to be independent.

The Greedy Demon King is one of the alternatives.

But it actually served as a mount in its early years, or rather, it was always a mount until it became a demon king.

Originally, it was owned by a quartermaster under Lucifer, and later rebelled against Lucifer and became the first greedy demon king.

The second and third generation of greedy demon kings are also its masters.

They used various means to usurp the authority and position of the former king, and they usually killed the descendants of the former king.

However, due to their greedy nature, they are reluctant to dispose of the precious mount of the Abyss Demon Dragon.

So they were all killed by the dragon, after they gradually let their guard down.

It can be said that the seemingly stupid greed is actually very cunning, knows how to forbear, knows how to hide, and is extremely sensitive to the control of timing and changes in the external environment.

It's a pity that after becoming the demon king, its greed has been infinitely magnified, and even after being cheated twice in a row, it still doesn't repent-

Faced with the two major powers in its hands, it knew that there was something wrong with it, but after hesitating, it still chose to devour it.

"If Lucifer faked his death back then, then there should only be two things he can do now."

"Restore strength, and hide from the enemy."

Lying in the depths of the lava ocean, greed silently pondered.

"The two powers of arrogance and lies appeared in front of my eyes, and it should be a trap he has arranged."

"What is the purpose?"

"You want to use your authority to challenge me and seriously hurt me after I've devoured it? And then even the power of greed is taken away along with it? ”

"Or does he want me to continue to carry the black pot for him?"

The two great powers have been swallowed into its body and are being digested at this time.

This process takes a long time, so Greed has thought a lot during this period, has a very strong sense of vigilance, and is even mentally prepared to be pitted.

However, it is completely unaware that the trap does not come from outside, but from the authority itself.

After Lucifer's death, the Seven Powers were born.

But they didn't come out of Lucifer's corpse, but the product of the division of power in hell and the "leaking" of rules.

Over the millennia, these powers have changed hands countless times, and no one has noticed that something is wrong with them.

So when Greed found that as the digestion continued, its own thinking became faintly distorted and wrong, it didn't pay much attention to it.

Because it's a necessary process.

Once you become a demon king, you need to undergo the "pollution" of authority and the transformation of the seven original sins, so it is inevitable that your temperament will change.

It's like it used to be not greedy, but after becoming the demon king, it became a lot more impulsive......

It's just that this time the pollution is obviously different.

As the "pollution" continued, some special "memories" appeared in his mind!

The scene in my memory is blurry and messy.

There are fights, there are practices, there are adventures, there are meetings......

Everything is incomplete and fragmented, but deep in the heart of greed, an idea was inexplicably born.

"I am the king of hell."

"Lucifer who appeared in that human world is an impostor!"

This idea came to me very strangely.

If it were to be the usual thing, it would inevitably be wary.

Now, however, greed didn't react in any way other than shaking the dragon's head.

"After digestion, I should find a place to hide for hundreds of years, like the arrogance I was before."

It lay at the bottom of the lava ocean, still thinking about the trap, seemingly completely oblivious to the strange thought it had just had.

"Which place is suitable?"

"Hell definitely won't work, Lucifer has controlled Hell for so many years, and there must be a backhand here."

"The human world seems to be more dangerous."

"Hmmm......"

The process of absorbing authority is actually a process of being transformed by the power of authority, during which it cannot be easily moved.

That's why it comes to this "beginner's area" that no one else can enter, so as not to be disturbed.

Because it is a complete transformation from body to soul, it seems that it still has the mind to think about things at this time, but in fact, it does not dare to pay attention to other places outside the body.

So it doesn't even notice it.

At this time, in the cave of the human world, his doppelganger has been silently surrounded by several figures!
