The light inside the underground cavern is dim.

The flickering torches illuminate everything here in a hazy way.

The masked demon king sat on a rock throne with his hands on his armrests and his head down, seemingly looking down on everything below, but in fact he had turned into an empty shell.

It can be said that this is its weakest moment.

But no matter how weak it is, with a high position and many subordinates, it is impossible for it to be without the slightest defensive force around it.

But right now, the situation in this hall has become extremely special-

The apostles, who had been busy around the corpse of the ancient snake, were all motionless at the moment, maintaining various postures, as if they had been petrified.

And a gray giant python with a flat head was wrapped around the remains of one of the ancient snakes at this time, and when it raised its head and scanned the surroundings, the invisible power released made everything around it freeze.

Including the guards under the throne, there are also hidden warning measures arranged around the Demon King's clone before.

Seven figures dressed in different costumes, with the exception of the figures gathered around the throne.

The strange python scanned the surroundings and saw them clearly, but not only did it not interfere with them, but there was obvious fear in its eyes.

It's as if these people are natural enemies who can swallow it casually.

But in fact, they are just doppelgangers of Andy.

The giant python that fixes everything around it is made of the ability of the ancient snake corpse to make it real.

Just as no one could have detected the real thing in the Dark Forest, it now exhibits the same power as the real thing.

Powerful, weird.

So when the greedy demon king absorbed the power and had no time to pay attention to everything here, Andy drew out the power of the corpse and condensed it into this python, easily removing the surrounding protection.

As for why this strange python is afraid of him.

The reason is actually not because of Andy, but because of Adanielle.

The ancient snake was killed by Adanielle, and even the sharp strength she used to kill the ancient snake still remains in the corpse.

This power has coexisted with the corpses for many years, and its deterrence has long been deeply imprinted in the "instinct" of the corpses.

And although Andy's doppelgangers are not the main body, they still carry a wisp of the imprint of Adanielle's family.

The breath attracted the residual power to deter, and the ancient snake corpse naturally did not dare to harm him.

So a natural loophole was formed.

Obviously, his own strength is very weak, but with all this, Andy has already controlled the situation in the cave.

However, the "loopholes" that can be exploited by him actually do not stop there......

Looking down at the greedy clone who was sitting quietly on the king's seat, "Robin", who was covered in bandages, took the lead in raising his hand and touched the dark golden vertical pupil in the gap between the other side's masks.

So in a trance, as if he had been transformed from a real body into a fluid, he quickly shrunk and was finally swallowed up by that eye!

The second doppelganger then stepped forward and repeated the motion.

Then the third and fourth bodies......

Some of the judgments of the goddess of nature are quite correct.

In the authority of the Seven Demon Kings, there is indeed a hidden wisdom of those archangels in ancient times.

But those spirits are very weak, have little sense of autonomy at all, and are integrated with the powers of hell to interfere with the demon lords who possess them.

Therefore, their existence can always be hidden until now, unnoticed by others.

Also because they are too weak, they have coexisted with Lucifer for countless years, and they have long been "assimilated".

They couldn't tell if they were Lucifer or someone else.

This creates a very special situation.

That is, after the Hell Rebellion broke out and Lucifer died, the seven powers that were divided into seven all considered themselves Lucifer.

It's just that it's divided into seven parts!

Because the mind is so weak, this perception can be said to be an underlying instinct.

When it exists alone, this instinct is of little use at all.

But if one demon king controls the authority of other demon kings, or rather, the power of fusion is increasing.

That weak intellect will be enhanced by "fusion", and the instinctive recognition of being Lucifer will become stronger.

This kind of cognition will even be transmitted to the mind of the demon king himself with the transformation of the demon king, just like the pollution of the seven original sins attached to the authority.

Before it knew it, it thought it was Lucifer!

Therefore, the previous guess of the goddess of nature was not wrong, Andy was indeed using the greedy demon king to clear his suspicion.

"But that's just one of the results."

When the last figure completely merged into the Demon King's clone, Andy's mind shifted back to St. Mary's College.

In the haze, he could perceive two different scenes.

One is in a dark cave, with the demon king's clone as the main perspective.

The other is that in the terrifying environment full of magma, he "transformed" into a black dragon towering like a mountain!

"There seems to be a ruined kingdom of God in the dead lake of purgatory."

Andy, who was sitting at his desk in his dorm room, was still thinking, but many thoughts came to his mind that didn't belong to him.

"It's a good place to hide."

"It's just that since Lucifer dares to lay this trap, it proves that he has the confidence that I can't escape from it."

"That way, it seems difficult to fight him with conventional methods."

"Headache ......"

"Could it be that you really want to leak this news to heaven?"

……

The goddess of nature previously suspected that Andy was Lucifer.

But in this way, it is difficult to explain who the wisdom in arrogant authority comes from.

If the seven powers are all made up of the power and soul of the archangels, then the arrogant authority is not an exception.

But she couldn't think of it.

Before he died, Andy had already found a "replacement" for himself.

In other words, his death was a process of getting rid of burdens.

Hell is a very disgusting place.

The disgusting part is that no matter how normal a person is, once they enter it, they will be polluted by the power of the seven original sins, and then their temperament will change drastically.

This change in temperament can make a rational and kind person become violent, cruel, and less like himself.

So, as Adanielle once guessed, Andy was not killed by her, but committed suicide.

There are many reasons for this.

The most important thing is that the so-called identity of the King of Hell not only limits his strength, but also distorts his mind.

Andy's suicide was able to shake off years of pollution in his subjective consciousness and reincarnate on its own.

The pollution has not disappeared completely.

Rather, under his deliberate guidance, he became the wisdom of authority, as in other authorities.

And now, this burden of the past has now become a hindrance.

Through a certain mental code, Andy is able to make the other party let go of all their defenses against himself.

And because the cumbersome wisdom has been integrated with greed, this kind of letting go is equivalent to the demon king himself being defenseless against Andy!

So Andy's previous act of sending clones to come forward in turn to devour the demon king can be understood as that he took advantage of this loophole to implant a "Trojan virus" into greed!

This kind of implantation is still very hidden and faint at present, and of course it will not completely replace the demon king consciousness.

But the effect is not just that Andy can listen to the other party's heart!

"Since it's Lucifer, how can you do it in secret......"

Muttering to himself, Andy, who was sitting at the desk, had his mind moved.

So the demon king clone in the cave, without the body being aware of it, raised his hand and made some subtle and "deadly" modifications to the "transportation" ritual that had been engraved on the surface of the hall below!

……

At the same time, the goddess of nature, who has decided to investigate God, has come to the other side of the world, in a villa on the outskirts of a small town in the Federation.

The bearded prophet was the owner of the villa.

His hiding place should be very secretive, but he can't escape the investigation of the goddess at all, and he is even more unaware of the appearance of the goddess, who is squatting at the foot of the bed and reading.

So using the "computer" in the prophet's workshop, the goddess directly consulted the top-secret files related to the kingdom of heaven.

However, this review did not last long.

A line of "prompts" popped up on the computer screen, and she couldn't help but move.
