American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 465 If I can't have it, you can't have it either!
The other demon lords immediately understood Leviathan's purpose.

After God confirmed his disappearance, Leviathan had been planning something. He had already successfully won over two of the four demon kings, including Samael and Mammon, and now he was preparing to win over Asmodeus.

If Leviathan can successfully win over Asmodeus, then Leviathan will control more than half of the power in Hell.

Upon hearing this, Belial was furious.

"Leviathan, what do you mean? Do you also want to be my enemy?!"

The three demon kings of the Upper Three Pillars are roughly equal in strength, with Lucifer possibly being slightly stronger, but only by a limited margin.

However, Leviathan now has two henchmen by his side. With three demon lords of hell combined, Belial is bound to suffer a loss.

Asmodeus glanced at Lucifer, who seemed indifferent to everything, and then at Beelzebub, who was still munching on popcorn. Suddenly, he felt that this might be a good opportunity.

"It is a great honor for me that so many demon lords of hell have graced my territory! However, there are certain people I am not so welcoming!"

"Some people" is, of course, referring to Belial.

"Asmodeus, don't think you can get away with this just because Leviathan is helping you. Hand Roy back to me immediately!"

Upon hearing the name Roy, Lucifer, who had been lost in thought since cursing Beelzebub, suddenly changed his expression.

At the same time, Beelzebub, who had been talking non-stop, suddenly stopped.

The attitudes of Leviathan, Samael, and Mammon changed drastically, and the atmosphere at the scene became tense.

Lucifer looked at Belial.

"You just said Roy is in Asmodeus's hands?"

Belial glared at Asmodeus with hatred.

"That guy used some kind of method to send Roy to hell!"

Leviathan's gaze swept across Lucifer and Belial's faces, his forked tongue flicking out as he chuckled in a low voice.

"How interesting! So everyone knows Roy Black!"

Asmodeus was stunned. It was the first time she had realized that Roy had such a wide network of connections in Hell, and it seemed that he was connected to all seven of the Demon Kings of Hell.

First of all, Belial and Roy had a very close relationship, and Lucifer's attitude also indicated that the two had a good relationship.

However, the resentment shown by Leviathan, Samael, and Mammon's group upon hearing Roy's name suggests that there is some kind of grudge between them.

Now, only Beelzebub's attitude seems rather ambiguous.

"Wait a minute! Beelzebub, don't tell me you know Roy Black too!"

Beelzebub used his hairy paws to scoop up a handful of popcorn and stuff it into his mouth.

"I do know him, but that's all."

It was only then that Asmodeus truly realized that Roy was a huge problem.

How many humans could have had contact with all seven demon kings of hell and still be alive and well?
Leviathan spoke again.

"Asmodeus, hand over Roy Black to me, and I can help you defeat Belial!"

Roy was in the human world before, and Leviathan couldn't do anything about him for a while. Now that Roy has entered Hell, Leviathan is starting to get restless.

Upon hearing this, Asmodeus hesitated noticeably. Defeating her longtime rival Belial was indeed a very tempting offer, but she was somewhat reluctant to give up Roy for it.

Mammon, who was standing to the side, also spoke up.

"Asmodeus, what are you still hesitating about? Haven't you always wanted to surpass Belial?"

"Mammon, do you think I don't exist? How dare you say that to my face!"

Belial was furious, and the spiritual energy he released began to distort the surrounding environment, indicating that he intended to take direct action.

The three Leviathan opponents on the other side were not flustered at all; the three-on-one advantage was in my favor.

"Belial, is it worth it for a lowly human? Could it be that you've actually fallen in love with a human?"

Leviathan smiled contemptuously, as if he were watching a joke, but at the same time, the three demon lords began to unleash their power and silently confront Belial.

"My affairs are none of your business!"

Although fighting three opponents at once was very difficult for Belial, the Sloth King showed no fear. He needed to display this desperate spirit to intimidate the three demon kings.

Leviathan, Samael, and Mammon have indeed formed an alliance, but the three demon lords are clearly not willing to risk their lives for the benefit of their allies, and if they suffer losses in battle, they will not receive any additional compensation afterward.

After all, the Demon King of Hell is not an angel from Heaven. Although they may form an alliance for common interests, the Demon King of Hell will never sacrifice his own interests for others.

Belial understood this, so he directly began to pressure Mammon, the weakest of the three. He knew that Mammon would back down once he realized he was at a disadvantage.

The silent battle between the four hellish demon kings caused the surrounding space to collapse, and dark spatial rifts appeared in this layer of hell.

Asmodeus immediately sensed something was wrong; was this place going to be used as a battlefield?
If a fight really breaks out here, even if the Queen of Lust wins in the end, her territory will be destroyed.

"Wait a minute! If you want to fight, go somewhere else, like the ninth floor! There's nothing there, you can do whatever you want, just don't fight here!"

Belial glared fiercely at Asmodeus.

"Hand over Roy, and I'll leave right now!"

Leviathan's snake-like eyes were also staring intently at Asmodeus.

“Asmodeus, hand Roy Black over to me, and we'll be on the same side from now on! If Belial tries to cause you trouble, we'll help you! Otherwise…”

Asmodeus frowned deeply; the veiled threat in Leviathan's words made her hesitate.

At that moment, Lucifer suddenly stepped forward.

“I think Roy Black is a self-aware person, and perhaps we can let him make his own decisions.”

These words caused Leviathan's expression to change drastically; it was clear that Lucifer had taken sides.

"Lucifer, are you going to get involved too?"

If Lucifer sides with Belial, it will be terrible news for Leviathan.

After all, Leviathan and Belial could go toe-to-toe, but even if Samael and Mammon were tied together, they would still be no match for Lucifer.

Unless Beelzebub immediately joins Leviathan's side, there's still a chance to fight.

Leviathan looked over at Beelzebub and saw that the Lord of the Flies was still munching on popcorn, his huge compound eyes filled with the interest of a bystander. Clearly, this guy wasn't going to join his side.

The Queen of Lust was truly bewildered. She had only intended to lure Roy to Hell to be her male concubine or the father of her child. Who would have thought that she would attract all seven demon kings of Hell?

Now, Asmodeus will clearly face trouble whether he hands Roy over to Leviathan or returns him to Belial.

Even if Asmodeus allies with Leviathan, she'd still be in serious trouble if Belial and Lucifer attacked her alone.

Asmodeus didn't believe Leviathan would really go against the King of Sloth and the King of Pride for her sake, so he would ultimately suffer the consequences.

If Roy is returned to Belial, then there's no need to even mention it.

Leviathan will undoubtedly retaliate fiercely, while Belial will stand by and watch. Lucifer might help Asmodeus, but the outcome won't be good either.

As for forcibly keeping Roy here, without giving anyone face... that's really terrifying!

Just as Asmodeus was imprisoned under the watchful eyes of the five demon lords of hell, something else happened in the palace.

As Roy struggled, he realized someone was watching him. After shouting, he saw Adela walk out.

"It's you?"

Roy looked at Adela in surprise, wondering why she was there.

However, Roy soon noticed that Adela was acting strangely; her eyes were white, indicating that she was being controlled.

"I think I know you. Who are you?"

That voice was clearly Alma's voice!

It seems that Adela is possessed by Alma.

This is not surprising, as Alma's abilities have been expanded by the Famine Knights, and even without the Soul Torch, her mental strength can reach the level of a god among mortals.

However, it is impossible for Adela to control Alma. Although Adela has been enhanced by Asmodeus, she has not yet reached the level of a god among mortals.

The reason Alma didn't act at first was simply because she had just died and her soul was still in a state of confusion.

However, when Adela took Alma away in preparation for taking action, it triggered Alma's survival instincts, and Adela was then controlled by him.

Roy's eyes lit up when he saw Alma; perhaps her mental abilities could help him escape.

"Alma, I'm the father of your child! Please free me from these restraints!"

Upon hearing this, Alma was visibly taken aback.

"My name is Alma? That name does sound very familiar! The father of my child? Is he the one in my belly?"

Alma could indeed feel a new consciousness brewing inside her, and after she possessed Adela, that consciousness also appeared in Adela's body.

You can see that the succubus's belly is noticeably bulging, just like when she's pregnant.

The entry of consciousness caused changes in the body, and this ability to distort reality is very close to that of Belial.

If Alma's physical body hadn't become too weak to withstand the strain on her mental energy, Roy certainly wouldn't have found it easy to kill her.

Moreover, after killing him, you'll have to face the second phase of the ghost Alma, so it's hard to say what the final outcome will be.

"Yes! I am the child's father. Please help me break this spell."

Alma touched her belly, then looked at Roy with a puzzled expression.

"What should I do?"

"Anything is possible if you have a strong will!"

Alma's mental power is so strong that it can distort reality. Even if she doesn't understand magic, she has a high chance of being able to break Asmodeus's spell.

So Alma walked over to Roy and, seeing the tall flagpole, took a second look at it with curiosity.

Yes, it's no wonder Alma was curious; the flagpole was really eye-catching, with a pink magic halo on it, which looked very interesting.

Next, Alma placed her hand on the magical halo on the flagpole and tried to distort it with her mental power.

At first, it wasn't very successful; they almost knocked the flagpole down, which startled Roy.

"Be careful! If you break it, you won't be able to use it anymore!"

Fortunately, Alma quickly became proficient, and her ability to warp reality soon allowed her to regain her memories.

Click!

The magical aura shattered like glass, bringing a look of joy to Roy's face.

"Well done! Alma, remove the magical aura from my hands and feet too!"

On the other side, Asmodeus sensed it the instant the magical aura shattered, and her first thought was that Belial had done it.

"Belial, you have had someone infiltrate my palace!"

Belial was startled. She had indeed sent someone to infiltrate the palace of the King of Lust, hoping to take the opportunity to rescue Roy.

This person was none other than Elareza.

Elureza is also a succubus and Asmodeus's daughter, so infiltrating the palace of the King of Lust should be very easy for her.

However, what Belial found strange was, could Elareza be so fast?
Elareza doesn't have any memories of the past, so it'll take her a while just to find her way around, right?

"What are you saying? I don't understand at all!"

Belial's face remained unchanged; the Sloth King, who controlled the realm of deception and lies, could not detect any of his lies.

But because of this, whenever something involves Belial, everyone assumes she's lying without much thought.

Just like now, Asmodeus wanted to adjourn the meeting immediately.

"You all continue your discussion, and let me know when you have a result. I need to go back to the palace now!"

Belial naturally didn't want Asmodeus to leave. Although she didn't know if Elareza had rescued Roy, Asmodeus's expression showed that Roy was definitely out of her control.

At times like these, it's even more important to bring out Asmodeus.

"Asmodeus, are you trying to avoid making a choice? That won't do! You must make a choice today, or you're not leaving!"

At this moment, Leviathan also realized that something might have happened to Asmodeus, but the current situation was still in his favor. It would be best if Asmodeus sided with him under the coercion of Belial and Lucifer.

So at this moment, Leviathan didn't say a word, just quietly watched as Belial coerced Asmodeus.

"Belial, it really was you! You've crossed the line!"

Asmodeus spread his bat wings and suddenly fanned out a large number of pink bubbles at Belial. All the other demon lords retreated several kilometers away, but Lucifer stood still.

The arrogant king has always been like this; he always looks down on all living beings from a high position. Only those who have gained his approval can be treated as equals by him, which is why he is the arrogant king.

Lucifer was clearly not taking Asmodeus's attack seriously; he had realized that Asmodeus was just trying to create chaos and then escape.

Belial noticed it too, so he created a mirror in front of him and sucked all the pink bubbles in.

"Asmodeus, you're not leaving!"

Asmodeus glared at Belial through gritted teeth.

"Since that's the case, if I can't have it, you can't have it either!"

As he spoke, Asmodeus clenched his fist toward his palace.

In an instant, a huge bubble burst.
