Chapter 1: The Death of the Saints at Dusk
Dawn.
The Eiffel Tower began to crumble.
A golden light trailed through the gloomy sea of clouds.
Then there was an incomparably grand light that illuminated the whole of Paris. The Montparnasse Tower, a black building on the left bank of the Seine, is like a ghost in the light, and at this moment, the penthouse of the observation hall, nicknamed "the ghost building" by Parisians, is standing with fifteen bird-beaked doctors who look like real ghosts.
There was nothing in the observation hall, except for an oval conference table and fifteen silver-glittering chairs in the center of the hall, while the main seat was a golden chair encrusted with precious stones, like a throne. At this moment, the black-robed bird-beaked doctors did not sit at the table, but stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and looked in the direction of the Eiffel Tower, watching the "battle of God" run through Xie Minyun's body hovering in mid-air.
The black glass curtain wall seems to have a magnifying effect, making all distant scenes extremely clear.
When the light that enveloped the whole of Paris had faded, someone spoke, in frivolous French English, "What an inexplicable irony to snipe a saint with the 'Staff of God'...... Remembering that Stargate didn't do anything good last time he used the 'Staff of God'...... It seems to have killed a man called.... Cheng...."
Standing fourth from the left, the black-robed bird-beak doctor turned his face, and with his movements, his whole body seemed to ripple, giving people a sense of illusion, he looked at the black-robed man who had just spoken, "Shut your foul mouth, Barbatos, don't be sneering, everyone knows why I helped Stargate build the 'Staff of God'...... back then What's more, this matter is the 'king'...... I also agreed. (Barbatos: The 8th of the 72 Pillar Demon Gods.) οΌ
The short, black-robed man known as Barbatos raised his voice and chanted as if singing: "Oh!Bymun, don't say every time there is a dispute that this is the will of the king, this is the command of the king, this is the idea of the king, are you the roundworm in the belly of the king, and not the four pillars of the king?" οΌ
"Maybe I should give you a clearer understanding of the meaning of the 'Four Pillars of Supreme!'" said Bymon contemptuously.
Barbatos waved his hand and sneered: "OLALA (FRENCH GOD), BYMON, TWENTY YEARS AGO I JUST SUCCEEDED MY FATHER'S UROPOLOS AS 'BARBATOS', YOU SAID THE SAME THING TO ME, AND NOW YOU ARE ALL WRINKLED AND FULL OF GRAY HAIR AND GO TO THE GRAVE, YOU ARE NOT A 'KING', YOU DON'T HAVE A 'CROWN OF THORNS', YOU CAN'T BE IMMORTAL, I THINK NEXT TIME I WILL HAVE TO LISTEN TO YOUR TEACHINGS IN FRONT OF YOUR TOMBSTONE." β
"Don't worry, Barbatos, before you go to hell, I'll give you a lesson I'll never forget. Bymon muttered, a flash of red light flashing through the eye sockets of his beak mask, like a laser sight shot out of the darkness.
Before the dispute between the two was over, the Seine began to surge, and the huge waves rushed to the left bank and the right bank like a tsunami, and a huge black shadow flew out of the river, and the thirteen black-robed people standing in front of the glass curtain wall all stared at the huge shadow that appeared and disappeared in the sky like a "death omen".
Barbatos then ended his argument with Bemon and shouted "Merde" like a jumper, and the French curse poured out of his mouth like water, and everyone began to gloat.
When the shadow landed in front of the ruins of the Eiffel Tower, revealing its magnificent and dangerous, holy and evil appearance, a slightly sharp metal voice sounded: "Lord of the Plague!"
Everyone turned their heads to look at the black-robed bird-beak doctor standing at the end, and the black-robed man at the head asked in a low voice, "Asmodeus, are you sure it's the 'Lord of the Plague'?" (Asmodeus: The 32nd Demon God among King Solomon's 72 Pillars of Demon God, one of the Four Pillars of the Highest Order.) οΌ
The Bird's Beak Doctor, known as Asmodeus, stared in the direction of the Eiffel Tower for a long time, and whispered: "I am not sure, although the 'Lord of the Plague' originated from my ancestors, but the diary of my great-great-great-great-grandmother does not describe the appearance of the 'Lord of the Plague' in too much detail, and most of the pen and ink only writes about how my great-great-grandmother met 'Lord Lucifer' after her mother was framed as a 'witch' by the cardinal, and went to the Holy Mountain to participate in the battle of the gods." After a pause, Asmodeus said in that somewhat unpleasant metallic voice, "But it looks like it, doesn't it?"
The bird-beaked doctor who was standing in the first place nodded: "It's very similar!"
"I also think it should be, lo and behold, Mapa's chemistry skills have no effect on him. (Malphas: The 39th of the 72 Demon Gods)
"Mappa is dead. Barbatos made no secret of the joy in his heart, and his tone was full of joy.
"Don't rejoice too soon, that's just his carrier. Baimon said-for-tat.
"I bet you that Mapa won't be able to escape. Barbatos turned his head and stared at Bymon's shadowless body with a defiant look.
Seeing the black shadow suspected of being the 'Lord of the Plague' soaring into the sky, rushing towards the northeast and disappearing in an instant, Baimon said noncommittally, "Maybe! But no one can kill Mapa, there is no doubt about it!"
A group of black-robed bird-beaked doctors stared at the dark glass curtain wall, and after dozens of seconds, the scene in the maglev train carriage jumped out of it, and the holder of the "Lord of the Plague" and Mapa, that is, the clown, began a lengthy conversation, some listened to the conversation between Mapa and the "Lord of the Plague" without saying a word, some whispered their opinions with interest, and some seemed impatient, just like the tall bird-beak doctor next to Barbatos complained loudly: " It's all nonsense, if Mapa touches Lao Tzu, I will shoot him directly, and I will never give him time to speak, so that any problem will be solved. Look! This fool will never be able to do it in the end!"
However, in the end, the result was unexpected, the Lord of the Plague chose the worst ending, and Mapa, who was never killed, was killed by him without hesitation.
After a brief silence, the otherwise quiet hall became noisy.
Barbatos laughed, and the others began to whisper that no one cared about Mapa's death, even if he was the same "Black Death Seventy-Two Pillars Demon God".
The bird-beak doctor, who was standing second from the left, sighed and said, "I didn't expect that Mapa also miscalculated. β
The head of the Bird's Beak Doctor raised his right hand, which was covered with a thick skull ring, drew a cross on his chest, prayed for Mapa, and then said, "Miscalculation? How do I think he just wants to die?"
"Yes, maybe you know him better than I do, after all, you both have different hobbies. β
"I'm just different, not a madman who wants to destroy the world. The chief doctor shook his head and said, "Only Nebuchadnezzar knows him." β
At the hearing of the name "Nebuchadnezzar", the hall fell into an inexplicable silence, and everyone looked up in anticipation, as if searching for some terrifying figure hidden.
Seeing the frightened appearance of a group of people, the bird-beaked doctor led by "haha" laughed, "There's no need to be so nervous, he hasn't come yet." β
No one paid attention to the head of the Bird's Beak Doctor, and everyone remained silent until Napoleon VII appeared out of thin air and the Lord of the Plague began to fight Napoleon VII again, and Barbatos broke the somewhat suffocating silence.
He looked left and right and asked loudly, "Who wants to bet two?"
"How do you bet?" asked the tall, strong, black-robed bird-beaked doctor standing beside Barbatos.
"Let's make a small bet, let's not play big, just bet on SSS skills....... Warliver, do you want to have a hand? Don't be like that coward who dares to be hard-mouthed. Barbatos said. (Valefor: The 6th of King Solomon's 72 Pillar Demon Gods)
Warriff said quickly: "No problem, I bet on Napoleon VII to win." Then Warriff smiled and looked at Barbatos and repeated what he had just said sarcastically, "Don't be a coward like Bymon, just dare to be hard-mouthed!"
The ridicule of the two men made Baimeng angry, and he turned his head to look at Warliver and Barbatos standing in the center, and roared, "I'm going to be there, and I'm going to bite your eggs X, so that you two rabbit cubs know how hard my mouth is." After a pause, Monbay stared at Warliver and whispered in a sympathetic voice, "Warliver, last month your Gulf used a submarine to transport drugs to Los Angeles, and unloaded eight tons of cargo! I haven't bothered you yet, do you know what you're doing?"
Bai Meng is not talking cruelly, in fact, every offline meeting of the Black Death is a battle, and the ranking meeting held every four years is a bloody battle, and often before it starts, a quarter of the seventy-two pillar demon gods participating in the meeting will be wiped out.
Because the "Black Death" never promoted seniority, whoever contributed the most money to "Nebuchadnezzar" could get the best territory. Therefore, the seventy-two pillar demon gods scattered around the world not only compete with each other, but also cooperate with each other.
Small and medium-sized gangs disappear quickly, but the Black Death will not be affected in the slightest, and new gangs will soon come out.
Free competition and brutal growth are the rules of the Black Death.
Of course, the "Supreme Four Pillars" and the "Thirteen Demon Gods", which have a long history and strength, have never changed much. They have always controlled the underworld in the richest part of the world. For example, Bymon is the king of the west coast of the country, while Warliver is the co-leader behind the Nanmi gang, and Barbatos is the controller of the French underworld.
The struggle between the "Supreme Four Pillars" and the "Thirteen Demon Gods" is also very cruel, and it is common to fight when there is a disagreement during the meeting, but after the popularization of virtual projection meetings in recent years, there are many fewer opportunities to flip the table, and there are more mouth cannons. (Two of the "Supreme Four Pillars" are also thirteen demon gods, so the four supreme pillars plus the thirteen demon gods are a total of fifteen people.) οΌ
Warliver plucked out his ears and said disappreciatively: "It's just eight tons! Baimeng, don't make a fuss! Who called the people of the United States rich?"
"MXXXXFXXX, the submarine of the 'bay' (Moses Gob) comes three times a month, and the powder is cheaper than sugar, don't blame me for not reminding you, you still have to do this, I will send someone to bomb your submarine directly. β
"Alright, alright, Bemon, the SSS skills I earned from Barbatos are yours. Warliver said with a smile, and then Wallifer looked at Barbatos, "That's it, Barbatos, wait for the SSS skill I won for you to give Baimon." β
Barbatos touched the wooden chin that had been touched under the mask, as if he hadn't heard what Walliffer said, and stared at the two silent people who were fighting fiercely on the projection.
Wallolive raised his hand and patted Barbatos on the shoulder twice, but no sound sounded, as if it was in the air, Warliver smiled: "Hey, Barbatos, don't be a debtor, you know, I hate other people's debts." β
Barbatos still ignored Warliver's meaning, as if he couldn't hear what he was saying.
Baimon said loudly: "Whoever wants Barbatos's SSS skills, you have to be sincere and give me the share of the Mexican money laundering company!"
Others heckled and made the gathering of the leaders of the world's most powerful underground organizations look like a farce. Barbatos, who stood in the middle, turned a deaf ear and let the others laugh at him.
Only the two Bird's Beak Doctors standing at the front, Asmodeus at the end, and the Bird's Beak Doctor beside him watched the battle between Napoleon VII and Ceren intently, without saying a word.
At this moment, the spherical three-dimensional projector at the top of the hall rotated, shooting out a cone-shaped pillar of light, and another black-robed bird-beak doctor appeared on the far left, unlike the silver beak of the other bird-beak doctors, the beak on his mask was golden, and he also wore a golden crown of thorns on his head. He didn't even look at the battle situation on the projection, so he chuckled and said, "I'll fight this bet." β
It was a man's voice, a pure American English, with a slight vicissitudes in tone, but it was not coming from his body, but from all directions.
Facing the glass curtain wall, all the people turned around, put their right hand on their chests, lowered their heads, and shouted in unison: "You are the ruler of the dark world, the guardian of truth and freedom, the believer of wisdom and fairness, the immortal king of the sun and the moon, and the spokesman of Lucifer in the world......
Only the man standing at the top just nodded slightly.
The man called "King" was none other than Nebuchadnezzar, the king of the Black Death and the ruler of the global underworld, who looked around at everyone and said with a smile: "Since you old gamblers like to gamble, then I will gamble with you, and you can bet as much as you want." β
"Are you serious, King?" asked Barbatos, who had been silent, the first to look up.
"Of course!" Nebuchadnezzar walked towards the glass curtain wall, and the dusty pillars of light in mid-air followed his footsteps, like a god from heaven.
Barbatos immediately laughed "haha", turned his head to look at Warliver, and said proudly: "Wallifer, come on! SSS skill, bet on me to take it!"
Warliver didn't pretend to be deaf and dumb like Barbatos, but said a little depressedly: "Could it be that the Lord of the Plague can even win the gods?"
"Don't talk nonsense! Warliver, show your spirit! Whoever doesn't bet is raised by his cousin!" Then Barbatos raised his hand and pointed at Baimon, and said triumphantly, "And you Baimon, didn't you old bastard just say that I was an uneducated liar?" Now it's your turn, bet! I'll take ....... whatever I want."
Baimeng sneered: "I bet on Sailun to win, do you take it or not?"
"I'm shocked by how shameless you are, old bastard, the next time we get a chance to meet, I'll definitely shove your head in my PY and douse your head with shit!" Barbatos, who had been pretending to be deaf and dumb just now, cursed loudly and unscrupulously.
Nebuchadnezzar raised his right hand without warning, and Barbatos immediately used "teleportation" to disappear in place, but Nebuchadnezzar just waved his hand and said angrily: "Stop arguing." β
"Don't frighten me, king, I'm cowardly. Barbatos, who appeared at the door of the hall, patted his chest and bowed his head for mercy.
Nebuchadnezzar glanced back at Barbatos, "It's just my projection, there's no need to be so afraid!"
"You can do anything if you want!" said Barbatos, firmly.
Nebuchadnezzar ignored Barbatos' sycophants, pointed to the two people in the projection who had temporarily ended the fight, and said in a good time: "Come and bet......!
Fifteen black-robed bird-beaked doctors looked at each other, but no one answered.
Warliver smiled bitterly: "King, don't be kidding, who wants to bet with you, isn't it a welfare?"
"Do you need me to repeat what I just said?" said Nebuchadnezzar lightly.
The crowd all lowered their heads and said weakly, "No need." β
"One SSS skill per person, buy and leave. Nebuchadnezzar said in a cold voice.
Some people are talking to each other, some people are turning their heads to look at the projections on the black glass curtain wall, and some people are thinking.
"Napoleon VII. "The second beak doctor on the left hand was the first to speak.
Then Warriff also shouted: "Napoleon VII." β
Asmodeus, who was at the end of the line, also raised his hand and said: "Napoleon VII." β
And Beret, who was next to Asmodeus, was the first demon god to bet on the "Lord of the Plague".
Someone took the lead, and the bet was a matter of minutes, and twelve out of fifteen people chose Napoleon VII, and only Beret, Barbatos, and the Bird's Beak Doctor, who came in first, chose the Lord of the Plague.
After everyone finished placing their bets, Nebuchadnezzar didn't care about the battle situation at all, he walked to the golden chair full of gems that belonged to him, the chair automatically stepped back a little, he sat down with Shi Shiran, and said in a cold tone: "Look at what you look like now? Do you really think you are all gang bosses? are you the king of the underground world?"
The Birdbeak Doctors walked back to the long table in silence and sat down silently.
Nebuchadnezzar knocked on the table, and the hand of light and shadow, which was obviously illusory, slammed on the black alloy table with a dull sound, "Do you remember what your ancestors were?"
There was silence in the room, and no one dared to respond. Everyone was seated, but the black-robed man, who was the first to sit on Nebuchadnezzar's left, rested his hand on the long table and tapped it casually with his fingers with a skull ring.
"It's the doctor. It's a doctor. β
Nebuchadnezzar's voice was low, and there was not the slightest hint of anger in it, but it caused all the beaked doctors to hang their noble heads, as if they were nothing more than a group of schoolchildren before the king.
"Look, now interests and hatred have blinded you and affected your judgment. You can't even see that this is a draw, what a bunch of poor worms with atrophied brains. β
Although the battle between Napoleon VII and the Lord of the Plague had only just begun, no one questioned Nebuchadnezzar's judgment. There was a dead silence in the vast viewing hall, except for the humming of a few three-dimensional projectors echoing in the warm air.
"Forget it, I'm tired. β
And the crowd lifted up their heads,
Baimeng whispered, "...... Wang"
Nebuchadnezzar raised his hand and made a silent gesture, "I have come today to announce something, I have been sitting in this position for too long, it is time to hand it over......."
Warren stood up suddenly, and the phantom passed through the chair, without making a sound, and said eagerly, "King, you can't leave us alone!"
Barbatos also stood up and said loudly, "Don't make such jokes, king. The joke is not funny at all. Maybe you think we are not good enough, you can scold us, but you can't give up on us! For two hundred years, since my great-grandfather, our Barbatos family has followed you in the east and west, glory and misfortune Our Barbatos have stood firmly by your side, please don't say such things, hurt the heart of a loyal knight. After a pause, Barbatos put his right hand above his heart and shouted, "Long live the Morning Star!"
The cry of "Long live the morning star" resounded throughout the hall.
When the shouting stopped, Nebuchadnezzar simply waved and the two of them sat down.
The first of the people who sat at Nebuchadnezzar's right hand side said in a deep voice: "The most chaotic times are coming now, and without you, the Black Death is a canoe in the sea, which will be overturned by the wind and waves and sink to the bottom of the sea in the next second, and you cannot let go of the rudder at this time." β
Nebuchadnezzar turned his head to look at the projection, Napoleon VII chased the Lord of Plague and ravaged the city of Paris, and the two of them turned the whole Paris upside down, and those historical relics withered like castles on sand.
He gazed at the fall of the cross on the church of St. Augustine and whispered: "My time is over, it is time to elect a new successor......"
"Wang, please think again......" Barbatos stood up again with his hands on the table.
"Yes, let the king think again!"
All agreed.
Nebuchadnezzar shook his head lightly and said unquestioningly, "This is the end of the discussion about my abdication. As for my godhood, I will pass it on to ........"
Once again, there was a chilling silence in the hall, and all the beaked doctors were staring intently at Nebuchadnezzar, who was seated in the throne.
Nebuchadnezzar looked around at everyone and said lightly, "....... The next time you have a Council of Eden, you'll be able to get the Plague Lord's doctor. β
"King, this is not in order! It stands to reason that the new king should be voted on by our 'Seventy-two Demon Gods', you can designate a successor, and we can vote against it. Baimon knocked on the table and protested in a deep voice.
Nebuchadnezzar said casually, "I am the rule." β
Everyone looked at each other, and after a long pause, the bird's beak doctor, who was sitting next to him wearing a skull ring, spoke: "King, my family, through hardships and risks, helped you build a huge empire, for which my family has sacrificed countless people and contributed countless benefits, but now, I don't see your respect for our family. β
"Oh, Astalous, I know you just appeared in Time Magazine not long ago, in a suit and leather shoes, and in your top office in New York, you talk to reporters about your business, you talk about your philanthropy, you talk about your investments on Wall Street, and everybody praises you. It's not like your dad would just hug left and right on Playboy and spend his nights at parties and nightclubs. I went to a striptease club with Barr, Bymon, Asmodeus, and your father and got drunk. Nebuchadnezzar waved his hand and snapped his fingers, "Bring some music!" (Astaro: Twenty-ninth of the seventy-two demon gods, one of the four pillars)
The hall resounded with the rhythmic sound of a piano, a mellow black female voice hummed softly like a flower blooming in the night, and the sound of a drunken piano and saxophone played the jazz rhythm of the eighties.
οΌBGMββγLast TimeγDrizaboneοΌ
Nebuchadnezzar shook his head and stood up, clapping his slap to the beat of the music, shouting, "Come on, we haven't had a good time in a long time!"
After saying that, Nebuchadnezzar began to shake along with the music, he was dressed in a black robe with gold trim, and he wore a gorgeous crown of thorns, and twisted his body unscrupulously in the sound of music, looking very funny, but no one dared to laugh.
The first doctor with a skull ring on the left was the first to stand up, and he pushed his chair away and began to dance Elvis Presley to Nebuchadnezzar..... It's just that there's no wine....."
In an instant, a bottle of old-school Scotch single malt whisky appeared on the table, and the bird-beak doctor wearing a skull ring took off his mask, revealing an old wrinkled face, and suddenly it was Dr. Charlie, the owner of Penglai Island, and here he was the "supreme four pillars" and the "first of the thirteen demon gods" Bal.
Dr. Charlie unscrewed the lid of the whiskey, took a sip, and handed it to Baimon on the other side, "Baimon!"
Baimon looked at the virtual whiskey formed by light and shadow, smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Charlie, I'm old. β
Astaro looked at Nebuchadnezzar and whispered, "King, times are different, we have to integrate into mainstream society, we have to legitimize, we have to get in touch with those who used to fight against, because we are no longer the reptiles who licked blood and begged for a living in the dark, we want to live in a different way." I know you are a hero, you are our king, but you also have to think about our family that has followed you for hundreds of years. β
Nebuchadnezzar should swing to the music, and he asked noncommittally, "This is what your father taught you?"
"No, that's been what I've been thinking about for more than a decade. After a pause, Asthalo explained, "I didn't violate your orders to have personal contact with the Stargate, nor did I form an alliance with those in high society. I'm just trying to wash my name......"
Nebuchadnezzar spun in a light circle, held his head high and waved his hands, and said with a smile: "Actually, you can do whatever you want. The premise is that you get the 'Lord of the Plague' and take my place....."
Astaro glanced at the projection, suppressed his displeasure, and whispered, "King, this is not fair. β
"I ...... It's fairness. Nebuchadnezzar didn't look at Astalous.
"Wang, the East Coast controlled by our Asthalo family provides you with one-third of the benefits of the entire Black Death every year, that's eight billion dollars, eight billion dollars a year!" Astalous raised his hand and pointed to the table, "Others have come to me for help, and I am also very generous, whether it is contributing people or money, I have worked hard to protect the interests of the Black Death, I have no complaints about everything I have done, but today your decision is so disappointing to me, you have no respect for me, and my family, even a little ...... A little respect. β
Baimon stood up and rebuked, "Astalous, do you know who you're talking to?" Shut your beak and sit down for me!" After scolding Astalous, he turned his head to look at Nebuchadnezzar, "Don't be angry, king, let me have a good talk with him, let me have a good talk with him." β
"I'm not angry. Nebuchadnezzar did not stop dancing, and said in a cheerful tone, "Anyway, I have said that whoever can get the 'Lord of the Plague' at the time of the Council of Eden will inherit my second god general." Now, if you want to dance, you can stay, and if you don't, leave! β
Asthalo was the first to disappear into thin air, a three-dimensional projector on the ceiling dimmed.
Baimeng smiled bitterly and said, "King, I will talk about him well, he was just carried away for a while. β
"Go, go, go, don't forget to transfer the SSS skills you lost to me!" Nebuchadnezzar laughed, waving his hand.
Baimon smiled bitterly again and disappeared into thin air.
Then the black-robed Birdbeak Doctors retreated to Nebuchadnezzar until only four people remained, one projection and three entities.
Barbatos, as the owner of the Montparnasse Mansion and the master of the French underworld, is actually the most anxious, but he is the most difficult person to leave, and he hesitated for a long time before he said: "King, I ..... I'm gone, too, Paris...... It's like this, and I'm really not in the mood to drink now. β
Nebuchadnezzar laughed, "Go ahead, you've got the best chance, Barbatos, don't let anyone else get ahead." Barbatos hurriedly waved his hand and said sincerely: "Wang, I have no interest in your position. Please believe me, I am absolutely loyal to you!"
Nebuchadnezzar laughed, "Huh?"
"Of course, I have obtained the Lord of the Plague, and I will definitely hand it over to you as soon as possible. β
"No, no, I don't need to, you can stay until the next Eden Conference, and you can become the second god. β
Barbatos shook his head and said, "I don't have the strength, it's good to keep the position of the Thirteen Demon Gods." β
Nebuchadnezzar smiled: "Strength, I said you have it, you will have it." Seeing that Barbatos was about to say something, Nebuchadnezzar waved his hand, "Go!
Barbatos shut his mouth and hurried out of the observation hall using teleportation.
There were only four people left, so the hall of hundreds of square meters seemed unusually empty, and among the four people, two entities stood at the table and quietly watched the battle between the Lord of the Plague and Napoleon VII, and the two phantoms danced uncontrollably to the sound of music.
At the end of the music, the battle between the Lord of the Plague and Napoleon VII comes to an end.
Nebuchadnezzar stopped dancing, looked at Charlie, and said with a smile, "Charlie, you go first! β
Dr. Charlie grabbed the whiskey bottle and shook it, "I'll wait for you to drink two glasses on Penglai Island." β
Nebuchadnezzar nodded, and Dr. Charlie disappeared into the observation hall.
Asmodeus and Berret, who were sitting at the end of the table, turned their heads to look at Nebuchadnezzar at the same time, and asked in unison in a similar metallic voice, "What do you mean, old man?"
Nebuchadnezzar didn't answer, he just turned off the projection and let the ruined scenery on the banks of the Seine reappear in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, he walked to the glass curtain wall and looked at the ruins of the Eiffel Tower, and asked softly: "Don't you have any feelings when you see everything that has happened in the past two days?"
"Thoughts?" Asmodeus and Beret stood up at the same time, moving in unison towards Nebuchadnezzar, "It's terrible to let Napoleon VII get the position of god so easily. β
Nebuchadnezzar chuckled, "Because of your agreement with him?"
Asmodeus and Beret nodded at the same time.
Nebuchadnezzar turned his head to look at Beret and asked with interest, "Can it ...... now Have you deceived Ayala?"
Asmodeus shook his head and said, "It's okay for a short time, but it's okay for a little longer, but I think it's okay to let it learn for a while." β
Beret herself took off the bird's beak mask, revealing a beautiful face with an expressionless face, she looked at Nebuchadnezzar with disdain, and said in an indifferent girlish tone: "Old man, don't look at me with such squinting eyes, be careful that I kick and break your eggs!"
"Oh!oh!" Nebuchadnezzar laughed, "I won't say anything else, no one can tell it's a robot." β
"Get out of here!" Beret sneered, "You're a robot, your whole family is a robot!"
Nebuchadnezzar bent down and stretched out his hand, "Oh, a beautiful girl who is more beautiful than a rose and shines brighter than a star, can you tell you your name?"
Beret lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Win me, win me to be qualified to know my name!"
"That's easy!"
Nebuchadnezzar raised his hand to grab Beret's hand hanging at his side, and Asmodeus on the side kicked directly into Nebuchadnezzar's chest, but he kicked into the air, and passed directly through the shadow, and the colored particles rippled in the heat, and immediately returned to normal.
Beret quickly retreated, but he couldn't escape the hand of light and shadow of Nebuchadnezzar, who was faster, and he followed Beret who flew back to the chair, patted Beret on the head, and said with a smile: "You lost." β
Berette's cheeks flushed, she opened her mouth and said, "My name is Athena......"
Nebuchadnezzar looked at Berret's blushing face and laughed unbridled "hehe".
Asmodeus took out the phone in his pocket, opened the app and turned off something, and Beret closed his eyes, his hands down, and stood motionless.
"Uh-huh!" Nebuchadnezzar said in a slurped voice, "It's so lifelike, if it can be marketed, no matter how expensive it is, people will flock to it!"
Asmodeus turned around and said angrily, "Old pervert, if you don't have anything to say, I'll leave." β
Nebuchadnezzar hurriedly said, "Don't be angry!" He walked quickly to the glass curtain wall, looked at the ruins of the Eiffel Tower, and said in a serious tone, "I want to ask you, is the girl who was killed by the 'Staff of God' a saint?"
Seeing that Nebuchadnezzar had restrained her slightly frivolous attitude, Asmodeus was no longer prickly in her words, and she whispered, "It's stupid, but it's counted." Asmodeus's voice was almost identical to the female voice that Beret had just made, except that it was cold, and it was more extravagant and arrogant, like a thorny rose.
".....No," Nebuchadnezzar sighed, "it seems to me that the bearer of the Lord of the Plague is a saint. β
Asmodeus sneered.
Nebuchadnezzar glanced at Asmodeus, put his hands behind his back, and said lightly: "For human beings, the world is a dark house. The moment they open their eyes, it is the beginning of the awakening of human consciousness, and the vast majority of people open their eyes and find that the world is dark, and there is no difference between opening and closing their eyes, so they continue to fall asleep. And there was a small group of people who stood up unwillingly and began to grope in the huge and dark room of the 'world', trying to find out what was hidden in the darkness. But the world was too big, the darkness was too deep, some people couldn't hold on, some people touched the jagged, sharp rocks, and they started climbing. They endure unimaginable suffering, the pain of the human community, the pain of last resort, the pain given by nature and the pain of the body itself. The pain is uneasy for those who try to climb upwards, and what is worse is that they are extremely lucid and can only paralyze themselves with unknown hope. This sounds paradoxical, and it seems to be an obstacle to consciousness awakening. β
Nebuchadnezzar paused, looked down at the rushing Seine, and whispered, "So...... It is this irreconcilable contradiction that makes the saints saints. You think that the core spirit of a saint is mercy, but that is not entirely true, a true saint needs the courage and perseverance to climb up despite all kinds of painful torture. It was while everyone enjoyed a peaceful slumber in the dark room, and they remained awake and searched for fire in the endless darkness. They don't just need to bear the suffering of others with their own sacrifices. It is also necessary to let your whole life live in flames. β
Asmodeus continued to sneer: "What's the use of telling me, but just now you said that whoever gets the Lord of the Plague will inherit your position as a god general..... I'm not interested in your throne, but the Crown of Thorns, I'd love to study it....."
Nebuchadnezzar took off the crown of thorns and handed it to Asmodeus, "Take it or not, this crown is not a thorn..... Indeed, it is true. β
Asmodeus snorted coldly and said, "I'll grab it myself when the time comes! β
Nebuchadnezzar smiled and put on the Crown of Thorns again, he saw the Lord of the Plague flying towards the ruins of the Eiffel Tower with his black wings, and tilted his head and asked, "Will you kill him?"
Asmodeus did not answer immediately, she gazed at the huge shadow that landed in the morning light in the ruins, sad like an exclamation point, and she said coldly, "I will not kill him, but I will not obey the ancestral teachings to be his servant..... If someone kills him and takes the Lord of the Plague, I don't mind killing that person and avenging him....."
Nebuchadnezzar chuckled, "Then let's make a bet." β
Asmodeus shook his head and said resolutely, "I don't bet with you." β
"I pressed the crown of thorns, and my forbidden skill, Black Hole..... These things are my own, and have nothing to do with God's position. β
Asmodeus asked without hesitation, "How to bet?"
"I don't think anyone can take the Lord of Plague from him before the Council of Eden. β
Asmodeus thought for a moment and asked, "What do I have to pay if I lose?"
"Obey the ancestral teachings of your House of Delome and become a servant of the Lord of the Plague. β
"What tricks do you want to play, old man?" asked Asmodeus coldly.
Nebuchadnezzar sneered, "I'm so old, do I need to play tricks on you as a yellow-haired girl?"
"Bet!"
"In the name of Onassis Athena!" Nebuchadnezzar raised his hand.
Asmodeus also raised his hand, "I...... Athena Onassis, in the name of God and in the glory of her fathers, will keep this covenant. β
Nebuchadnezzar touched his long and narrow beak, "There's no need to be so serious, I just want to give you a high-five." β
Asmodeus ignored Nebuchadnezzar and said coldly, "Are you all right? I'll leave if it's okay." β
Nebuchadnezzar sighed and said a little depressed: "Seeing that I am about to lose my position as a god, no one wants to talk to me, an old man, life.... It's so lonely as snow....."
Asmodeus said angrily, "What are you going to talk about?"
"Did you know that when the Jews took the oath, the oath-taker had to hold the oath-bearer's X pill or the birth XX in one hand and take the oath? This is the Jewish oath ceremony...... I remember your father's side seemed to be ......"
Asmodeus raised her hand and a silver chair flew over, she lifted the chair and slammed it into the projector on the ceiling, while shouting, "Get out!"
Nebuchadnezzar's projection vanished into the rising glow of Paris, and only an exclamation of unknown meaning echoed in the air: "What a twilight!"
