Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 225 Understanding the Seven Sins of Hell and the Demon King's Levels
"Do not!!!"

A piercing howl echoed in the secret chamber, its sound resembling the roar of a crow, a dog, a fox, or a tiger—utterly bizarre and seemingly constantly shifting...

The world of consciousness.

The dark clouds that covered the sky had shrunk, and the blue lightning bolts that were moving within them had grown twice as big, now as thick as an arm.

The thunderclouds, which had originally merely imitated the might of heaven, now seemed to carry a hint of judgment.

Looking at the Malthus projection, which had been struck and lost its self-awareness, leaving only fragments, a look of weariness flashed in the blue lightning eyes.

Lightning flashed and the dark clouds dissipated.

Louis's consciousness returned to calm.

Open your eyes.

A flickering, uncertain lightning flashed in his eyes.

Look at the ground.

On the ground, the demons were in a rather miserable state; the obscene demon Abaram was left with only a modified body and some fragments of his soul.

The projection of the great demon Malthus left nothing behind.

The Otherworldly Clown wasn't destroyed, but it cowered inside the music box, barely daring to breathe.

Alice the Gluttonous Witch, as a rare evil spirit that reached the level of a demon, was naturally refined and vanished into nothingness as well. Before her death, she was even subjected to a thorough soul search.

As for the remaining remnant soul of the Moth God, it was rather special. Although it was also completely refined, it did not work during the soul search.

Although the remnant soul of the Moth Goddess was weak, it still possessed this pride. During the soul search, it actually collapsed on its own, not giving anyone the slightest chance to insult it.

The other fortune teller's soul is rather special, linked to an unknown entity, so Louis hasn't made a move against her yet.

at this time.

Louis looked at the demons' remaining possessions, touching the dimensional stone box, the tarot card box, and the music box in turn, his gaze indifferent.

Having refined Abalam, Malthus, the Gluttonous Witch, and the remnant soul of the Moth God, all four of them meet the requirements for Demon level. Now, Louis is only five short of completing the Demon Tribulation requirement.

Through the soul searches of Abalam, Malthus, the Gluttony Witch, and the Otherworldly Clown, Louis now has a deeper understanding of Hell and witches.

No longer like before, where we were like looking at flowers through a fog, not knowing the details.

"Phew~ Hell really isn't a good place. The living conditions are harsh, and even the demons I thought were everywhere aren't that many. It seems that using summoning circles to catch demons is not as simple as I thought."

As Louis organized the books, which were condensed from the basic memories in his mind, he sighed slightly.

The so-called hell.

It is the opposite of the present world.

Its area is vast and boundless, much larger than Earth, but most of the land is sparsely populated with demons, and evil creatures can only be born on their own from the soil of hell, with imps being the most numerous evil creatures.

Only a few regions corresponding to the mortal world appear incredibly prosperous, because these regions have opened soul channels to the mortal world, where souls fall into hell and become food, new evil creatures, fertile soil in hell, and so on.

As for the demons, as we already knew, their numbers were limited, and the specific reasons for this were unknown to these demons.

In addition, the most powerful force in Hell right now is the Seven Deadly Sins.

Cifer, the Path of Pride, was formerly the Vice-King of Heaven, God's most beloved angel, the Morning Star, the head of all kings, the most deserving Satan, and now the strongest in Hell!
Mammon the Greedy, one of the angels of Heaven, fell from grace because of his excessive craving for wealth and jewels. After his fall, he served as an evil god in Zoroastrianism for a time. Later, after Lucifer's fall, he went to Hell and commanded evil beings, demons, and even fallen angels to build Pandemonium.

Asmodeus, the god of lust, is somewhat connected to Mammon. Originally a Zoroastrian god of desire, he survived after Zoroastrianism was destroyed by God. He was hunted down by the archangels Gabriel and Raphael, but eventually escaped and fell into Hell, where he became the original sin of lust.

Samael the Wrathful, a fallen angel of death with a long history, once transformed into a serpent in the Garden of Eden to tempt Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. For a time, he was known as Satan, and he is now the only being qualified to compete with Lucifer for the name Satan.

Beelzebub, the Glutton, was originally a famous deity in Canaanite mythology. He was repeatedly attacked for obstructing God's missionary work and eventually fell into depravity. Ironically, he escaped destruction and later became known as the original sin of gluttony, causing panic in the world. He is also known as the Lord of Flies or the Lord of Demons, and he also competed for the name of Satan.

Leviathan of Envy is a giant, serpentine sea monster born in the mortal world. After falling into hell, it became the original sin of envy and is currently the largest of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Belial the Sloth, also a fallen angel, is considered by many demons in Hell to be the most dangerous of the seven demon lords, second only to Lucifer. Even the seventy-two demon pillars are nominally his subordinates. He has made a pact with Solomon and instigated the Kingdom of Judah to turn away from God, among other achievements. He is a seemingly slothful but actually extremely cunning demon.

These are the seven most powerful demon kings in Hell today, each ruling a realm. In addition, perhaps related to the so-called original sin, the demons born in their realms are inherently compatible with them, just like Abaram, who is born to become an obscene demon, and is a natural subordinate of these demon kings.

They are also the core members of a demon legion. Don't think that just because the demon gods are powerful enough, they don't need legions.

Hell is simply too vast. Although the Demon Kings have become the dominant force in Hell, it doesn't mean they have no enemies. Other pantheon forces in Hell have not been completely wiped out. To this day, the Demon Gods continue to lead their demon legions to conquer these other pantheon forces.

The war dragged on and on.

The living conditions were extremely harsh, which is why Louis lamented so much.

Besides.

It's not easy for hell to enter the mortal world. It's like two parallel lines; the price to make them intersect and descend is terrifying. Often, demons can only rely on luck.

Various methods have been developed to address this, the most famous being contracts. Through contracts, demons' projections can descend into the mortal realm at any time to collect souls. Therefore, neither demons descending into the mortal realm nor humans summoning demons in the mortal realm are guaranteed to succeed.

……

"Hiss—the demons in Hell are really powerful!" As Louis flipped through the demons' memory books, he saw the ranks below the Demon King.

The Seven Demon Kings are recognized as the strongest beings.

Below the Seven Great Demon Lords, there are some points of discussion and controversy, such as the four supreme pillars among the Seventy-Two Demon Gods, the strongest demon Mephisto, and Cain, the progenitor of vampires, etc.

They are all very strong. Although they cannot defeat the Demon King of Original Sin, they are still far stronger than ordinary demon gods.

To distinguish them from the seven true demon kings, these powerful beings with the potential to rival the original sin demon kings have been given a subtle name in the hearts of demons: pseudo-demon kings.

Their strength is vastly different from that of ordinary demon gods.

There are also differences among ordinary demon gods. Those who were once called demon kings or fell from heaven are stronger than ordinary demon gods, while those who are relatively weaker make up the majority.

This is the general overview of the demons' strength that Louis learned from the memories of these demons, and he summarized and categorized it based on his modern understanding, dividing it into—

The true Demon Lord level of the original sin demon lords.

The Four Pillars of Heaven, Cain, and other pseudo-Demon Kings who are neither high nor low in rank.

The powerful among the demon gods, such as Valak and Beret, are fallen gods of the strong demon god level.

Ordinary demon gods are considered weak demon gods.

Below that are the Grand Demon and Demon classes.

Those below the level of demons are not included.

Currently, Louis's level is probably still at the Demon level, but because he possesses a magical artifact, his combat power may have already reached the Great Demon level.

Within the entire hierarchy of powerful beings in Hell, he would probably be considered mid-tier.

However, such strength would actually place them among the upper echelons in the modern world. This is because there are simply no strong individuals left in the modern world. God's conquests were too fierce, destroying many pantheons, and the modern world is currently in a state of weakness.

So much so that even someone of Louis's strength could become a "big shot" on the mystical side.

"Yin spirit, Yang spirit, primordial spirit..."

"Hiss, are all these demon gods at the Nascent Soul level?"

Louis suddenly realized something: if the demons were at the primordial spirit level, then the ghost nun he was planning next was a split soul of Valak, one of the seventy-two demons.

The intensity might be greater than you imagine!
Although Valak in the original work failed time and time again, was beaten back to hell and sealed away, it does not mean that he was weak. It can only be said that it was fate (plot).

Now, in this world that's a collection of horror movies, plot twists are almost predictable. So, what if you're facing a split soul of a Nascent Soul level powerhouse...?

Louis's lips twitched.

The deeper one's cultivation, the greater one's awe of the realms above.

I'm currently just a Pure Yin Realm cultivator, facing a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator...

"Take a chance, this is an opportunity not to be missed." A determination flashed in Louis's eyes.

He had been plotting against the ghost nun for a long time, so how could he give up so easily? He had to try no matter what before he would be satisfied.

"The original plot can only be used as a reference, but some elements can still be tried as an aid: the blood of Christ, the eye of Saint Lucia, the descendants of Lucia's bloodline..."

"We must make thorough preparations to ensure that we can evacuate."

As Louis pondered these thoughts, he stroked the music box.

Inside the music box.

The demonic clown was staring at him with eyes full of fear. Just now, it had been pulled into the other's consciousness and subjected to a lightning strike that was even more terrifying than that hateful poisonous fire.

It almost ended.

Most importantly, the other party was still churning around in its mind, as if it was almost erasing its consciousness.

Now, seeing the other, it only feels fear.

At this time.

dong dong dong.

Suddenly, a knocking sound rang out.
