Chapter 980: It doesn't matter, it's all mine
In addition to the technique of infusing souls into dolls or golems to create powerful and experienced constructing creatures, good enough souls can often be transformed directly into good devils.
In addition, if the devils want to improve their absolute power, they need the support of the soul - although those little demons want to become medium demons such as the Babu Demon, it only takes time to accumulate them, but when a horned demon's power reaches a bottleneck, he must need a ritual reincarnation in the dark temple, which not only consumes the energy of magic, but also consumes a large number of souls.
Judging from the situation of today's concert, those tattered crystal statues and sound transmission stones can be exchanged for a soul prism, if the devils of the entire Fifth Hell become fans, how many soul prisms will they contribute? If these prisms become excellent soldiers in their own territory, they will naturally be invincible...... And the opponent's soul prism is constantly depleting, and he can't even pay the army, so how can he gather the army and defeat the enemy?
"Your Highness the Princess. A voice made Glesia look up: "I have come from Nesses to bring you the orders of the great Lord of Asmodes. ”
Grathia frowned, and a figure in her vision was slowly clear.
It was a tall, thin young man who looked very young, with dazzling red hair like fire, and a handsome face that met human standards, except that the eyebrows were as thin as needles, the cheeks were slightly protruding, and the excessively thin lips gave a sense of thinness, and the black shirt and long robe shimmered with the sheen of spider silk, which made him look peculiarly strange.
"You're ridiculous. Tartucker. Grathia glanced at him coldly, then sneered.
"I've heard that you've been interested in humans lately. Naturally, I'm going to cater to your hobbies. It would be my pleasure to make you smile, Your Highness the Princess. ”
The young man chuckled: "I brought ......"
Before he could finish his words, his throat swelled suddenly, almost twice as thick! There are also many fragments of broken internal organs!
A thin chain of barbed chains had appeared behind him at some point, burrowing under his flanks, the traces of the chains bulging against his skin and suitably cut silk clothes. It seemed as if it was about to swell out from underneath, but Glesia's technique was so skillful that the blade swirled under his skin, shattering almost all of his internal organs!
The Devil Princess shook her hand. It seems that he has finally vented some of the anger in his heart. Then the chain of thorns was violently pulled out of the young man's body, and disappeared in the blood of the day!
"Ahem......" The young man called Tartak coughed lightly, and in an instant, the flesh flying in the sky suddenly stopped, and he inhaled gently, and the bright red was like a long rainbow being contained in his body! Even the blood stains on the black robe disappeared without leaving a trace.
However, his body also swelled a little with this movement, and he was no longer emaciated. Long manes and claws grew on his hands and feet, like lions.
"Your Highness. Your actions this time are a little too hasty. You ......"
He spoke again, and the flirtatious tone in his voice vanished. Become calm and infectious. It's a pity that Glesia obviously didn't want to listen to any advice at all: "So you went to complain to my father, didn't you?
The devil princess sneered, not giving the other party a chance to speak again: "Okay, old man, what did he say again? Don't let me mess around, don't you? Do you want me to be grounded in the territory and not allowed to go out? Or do you have to allow every move?"
"No, Princess. Tartac sighed and reached out in the air. A red light stretched out in space, drawing a huge pentagram shape. Then, red energy gushed out of it, turning into a half-length illusion of a middle-aged man with long horns.
"Father...... Father. Glacia was stunned, but in the end she could only bow her head like a child who had done something wrong—no matter how much she cursed the damned informant beside her, she also knew that there seemed to be something in this matter that was beyond her calculations, otherwise the Lord of the Nine Hells would not have spoken to her in person. Especially at this sensitive moment when the attack on Heavenly Mountain has begun.
However, it seemed that unlike the coming thunder she had imagined, Asmodes' voice, though cold, did not seem to carry anger.
"You met Edward?" he began.
Grasia was slightly stunned.
The Lord of the Nine Hells is usually unlikely to remember a person's name, even if he gave him the Ruby Scepter - it's not about memory, it's an attitude, just like a person who has a pet can't ask what it's called, just give him a new name.
"You...... Yes, I met the human named Edward, and then listened to some of his advice, sent an army under his command into Stygia, and then went to Tatlin as a doppelganger to reward them for their actions. ”
Glesia whispered, succinct—she knew very well that a lie was meaningless in front of her father, and would only lead to more unnecessary punishment, and that only fools who thought they were clever would try to lie to Asmodeus. Because once the Lord of the Nine Hells pays attention to something, he can get almost all the causes and consequences of the matter, except for those that are deliberately concealed.
"Is this what he gave you? ”
"It was boring, so I tried it as he said, but it was a bit of fun, at least the songs were good, and there was nothing more suitable for me to sing them. ”
Grazia secretly raised her gaze, carefully observing her father's reaction—the Devil Princess knew very well that his father was happy to see his daughter suffer some setbacks, even though he would protect himself. Accommodating most of your own requirements, but that doesn't mean you're going to be compliant.
Compared to his daughter, the Lord of the Nine Prisons values his Nine Prisons more than his daughter. His great cause.
As an incomparably powerful being, even more powerful than a god, death has no cause for him, and his importance to future generations is greatly diminished, otherwise he could have had more wives and children as human legends say, instead of choosing to start from scratch.
While it is true that she has had a good time responding to her needs, as time goes on. Asmodeurs was also becoming more and more demanding of her, and he needed a capable lord rather than a doting object.
It's like she's gathering her subordinates head-on. Defeated the original Sixth Lord, Count Ghost Woman, and finally snatched Malboji's approach. It was at a certain point that the Lord of the Nine Prisons was dissatisfied—apart from his undisguised hostility towards Levistus, Malbogi under Glesia had not done a good job in taxes, even worse than the original lord. In terms of seducing mortal souls. The efficiency of the demons is far greater than that of ordinary demons. But it can't compare to those cunning old ghost women, so Glesia has to personally seduce a group of elite troops on various battlefields from time to time, such as fallen angels, in order to barely live up to his father's expectations.
And this time, he didn't get angry about it, so ...... Is it equivalent to agreeing with her approach?
"It's funny, he really brings something interesting to the table every time. ”
The daughter's brief narration made the Lord of the Nine Prisons smile. As the words fell, his phantom eyes flashed red. A door opened in the space in front of him. So a tall ice demon stepped out of it.
Agareth.
The Ice Demon's Grand Duke hung his head slightly, but the moment he stepped out of the teleportation, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and look at the Sixth Lord in front of him. He had almost forgotten to bow to the Lord of the Nine Hells—apparently, at that moment, he had decided that it was a conspiracy against him, but he could not avoid it.
At this time, the illusion of the Lord of the Nine Hells spoke.
"Agareth, a loyal subordinate of the Fifth Lord. The Lord of the Nine Hells said lightly. "You have made many years of contributions for the sake of Bato, but the rash actions of the Sixth Lord have undoubtedly caused you some trouble, and you have responded appropriately and quickly, so I want to reward you for this. ”
With his voice, a red light burst out of his eyes, directly hitting Agares.
The tall ice demon immediately began to choke violently. The power in the red light was constantly eroding him, like the flames of purgatory, making his tall and cold body shrink! Soon, his originally cold and hard skin was twisted into a lot of strange sarcomas! A layer of reptilian scales grew on his limbs. Red nails stretched from his five fingers, like a boned steel structure! And a pair of small, short, dull horns also protruded from his skull, and in his open eyes, red streamers seemed to gush outward, and even some gray-white, hair-like things grew on the Ice Demon's originally smooth chin.
Agareth trembled, stretched out his hands, and immediately a red light poked out of his right hand, turning into a long, curved metal cane, while on his left hand, the red light twisted into a ball, converging into an evil falcon with black and red feathers, and a pair of eyes scanned around vigilantly.
Change, that's the end of it.
"Thank you...... Your bounty, your magnanimity and generosity, can only be matched by the Endless Sea. ”
Agareth was silent, then half-knelt down, and let out a trembling and frightened compliment, but his blood-red eyes shone brightly, and an irretrievable ecstasy rose - he could feel that he was no longer a simple Chiru demon at this moment, but a new being, a unique, powerful devil duke! he had waited for ten thousand years to finally obtain this true power, and in essence, he had now stepped through the door of absolute power, and had truly become a worthy name. The Great Devil's Existence is only one step away from a true lord.
But after a moment of ecstasy, fear seeped straight into his heart like the cold of the Fifth Hell.
This power was a reward for him, but from another point of view, how could it not be a punishment for him? The Lord of the Nine Prisons did not change his identity at all, and still let him remain in his original position. This meant that he had to face the wrath of the Fifth Lord alone, even if it was in the name of compensation. Overlord Levestus would certainly not accept such a change, although on the surface, he had lost the loyalty of 10,000 Chiru in exchange for a man who was stronger than the Hellpurgatory. It doesn't seem to be a particularly bad loss, but how could Levistus trust this original subordinate who had been strengthened by the Lord of the Nine Prisons again?
Whether Agaris wants to or not, he has become a nail planted by the Lord of the Nine Hells next to the Fifth Lord, and it is extremely difficult to regain trust, so he can only choose to help the Lord of the Nine Hells balance the Fifth Lord.
"Well, Agareth, though such a reward may not be perfect. But now that Bartow is facing an unprecedented tense situation, he can only keep it simple. But I also hope that you can make persistent efforts and contribute to our great cause. ”
Asmodeus continued. Then, with a wave of his hand, he sent the new Great Devil, who was stunned by joy and fear, straight away—from beginning to end, his tone was as relaxed as if he were pulling at home. As if for the power of Agaris promoted. It's just a trivial matter like giving away a soul crystal.
Summons come and go...... This is the proper posture of a true ruler.
Glesia's gaze wandered, but her heart was filled with all kinds of feelings, but she lowered her eyelids slightly, and her expression was completely absent - such feelings had been repeated countless times for thousands of years, and she had already learned to hide them perfectly.
But I have seized an opportunity. As long as time passes, he can also have this kind of power above the Nine Prisons...... If that human sue her method can really work.
"The economic base determines the superstructure...... As long as you can get a good grasp of it. It's not difficult to redraw the territory of hell?" The man's hateful face seemed to emerge again, chuckling and uttering those half-understood, somewhat inexplicable words.
......
"It's not easy to deal with this little guy like Edward, although he is much less dangerous now. ”
Asmodetes' words interrupted Glesia's thoughts, and she looked up, noticing that the 'butler' had also left at some point, leaving her alone with the Lord of the Nine Hells—and the Great Devil's tone had softened, and she whispered: " I'll allow you to negotiate with him, but you'd better put your heart and soul into it, or else this little guy will probably make you understand what real frustration is, for he's only a human being, but he's done something in a short period of time that even I think is inferior. ”
"You ......"
The Devil Princess was stunned. Then she really realized what she had heard—and for a moment, her eyes widened in disbelief. But he didn't even notice when the illusion of the Lord of the Nine Hells disappeared!
Glesia subconsciously searched for her own memories, but she couldn't find any similar words in them—the existence that would make the Lord of the Nine Hells say the comment 'I think I am inferior' would not exceed it even in the entire multiverse...... Even the Creation God, the Lord of the Nine Hells had only shown some interest in his powers and means!
What the hell is that human?
——
"Little Monster"
Although he had never raised a child before, he had at least heard of it, but his daughter obviously didn't have that kind of problem - since she was born, it had been almost a day, she had only drunk water twice, and most of the rest of the time, she was sleeping with that ornament, there was no need to change diapers, and she would not wake up crying in an hour or two, if it weren't for her even breathing and normal heartbeat, Edward would have wondered if she would be chronically exhausted.
But in fact, on the surface, she didn't show any signs of exhaustion at all, and even her little face became fuller, exuding a soft pink in the indoor light, which was really cute.
"Little monsters. Edward couldn't help but reach out and touch the chubby little face. But this action immediately made the child's mother very dissatisfied: "What are you talking about?"
"Isn't it, if you had seen this little thing that could grow up without eating, I'm afraid you'd be suspicious of it?"
What a monster, what a ...... Many saints show that they are different from ordinary people in their childhood, and she is not a monster, right, Purple Purple Mia Harui baby?
"Hey ......"
"What's the matter? Didn't you say this was a heroine's name?"
"No, that name is too troublesome, and it can't be covered without a good husband. ”
"I must think about it after I have thought about it, this kind of thing is a big deal, and it is related to the happiness of the child's life, how can it be casual?"
"This is the first time I've heard of it. ”
Edward couldn't help but roll his eyes, but he had to stop dwelling on this - the names of people in this world are far less special than the country in his memory, although his parents will also choose those names with profound meanings, but it is also very common for ordinary people to change their names, after all, the names of rural places are often repeated a lot, especially after believing in a god, they may get a new name. And things like divination don't involve names, even if you want to be superstitious, you can't be superstitious. (To be continued......)
