American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 499 Who did you just call "kid"?
Seeing Samael's furious head roll down in front of him, Mammon's resistance completely vanished.

Although the Demon King does not truly die until he loses all his original sin powers, even if Samael is beheaded by Roy, he can be resurrected on the battlefield of blood after a period of time.

But Mammon didn't want to die; who knew what would happen after death?

The fear of the unknown led the greedy king to surrender.

"Mr. Blake, don't attack me! I surrender!"

Roy raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected Mammon to be so spineless. He glanced at Belial, and the Demon Queen turned back and nodded to Roy.

“I can accept your surrender. The specific details of the surrender will be left to Belial.”

Mammon will surely face a host of unequal treaties. The Queen of Sloth is not someone to be trifled with; she will undoubtedly exploit Mammon's wealth relentlessly.

Perhaps the greedy king's collection of thousands of years is about to fall into Belial's hands.

The only pity is that Leviathan escaped.

This guy is really too cunning. When he saw that things were not going well, he immediately took advantage of Roy's inattention and crawled out of the hole to escape.

However, the King of Jealousy can no longer cause any trouble. His stronghold, the Ancient Sea, has been destroyed, a third of his power has been taken by Roy, and the alliance of the three demon kings has been destroyed.

All Leviathan can do now is hide in a corner of hell and eke out a living, never to stir up any more trouble.

“Professor Belial, Leviathan is no longer a threat. I must move on.”

Belial gently hugged Roy, his face full of affection, but this gesture made Roy a little embarrassed.

Although the enhancement of his physical attributes has made Roy's normal height exceed two meters, he is still much shorter than Belial, who is three meters tall and wearing high heels.

So Roy is now completely sandwiched between two thick bio-armored bodies, and feels like he can't breathe.

"Professor Belier, I can't breathe!"

"Don't move! With your current physical condition, holding your breath for a while won't hurt you!"

That's what they say, but because his nose was full of Belial's scent, Roy felt like his head was about to explode.

"Roy, do you need me to go with you to the third level of hell?"

The third level of hell is the illusion of dreams, which is the territory of Asmodeus, the king of lust. Asmodeus's old rival, Belial, is certainly planning something.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah"

Please provide a reading comprehension analysis of the tone used in these three instances of the word "嗯" (en).

In reality, Roy was confused by the bio-armor and subconsciously agreed. Then his brain quickly realized what Belial was thinking, and he finally chose to agree again.

"Roy, you said yes?"

Belial released Roy, his face full of surprise.

Roy rubbed his nose.

“Professor Belial, but there are conditions!”

Belial leaned down slightly and whispered in Roy's ear.

"Roy, I'll do anything for you if you can capture Asmodeus and hand him over to me!"

"anything?"

"Anything!"

Roy licked his lips, feeling that this could be done. He happened to have a lot of games he wanted to play with Belial. For example, Belial had always been unwilling to play games with everyone, only agreeing to let Roy and Elareza play together as a trio.

Perhaps this could be an opportunity!
"Alright, after I capture Asmodeus, I'll summon you using the old method, and then you can deal with her as you see fit!"

Belial excitedly kissed Roy. Her biggest wish now was to escape the shackles of Hell, because she knew Roy wouldn't stay there. Only by escaping Hell's shackles could she truly be with Roy.

My second wish is to teach Asmodeus a lesson, and ideally, to turn the King of Lust into my slave.

"Roy, leave this to me. You go and head to the third level of hell!"

Belial was clearly getting impatient, which made Roy even more curious about just how much of a grudge she held against Asmodeus.

Unfortunately, Belial has never been willing to tell this secret. Perhaps only after Belial has successfully taken revenge on Asmodeus will she be willing to tell Roy.

The passage from the fourth level of Hell, the Golden Labyrinth, to the third level, the Dream Bubble, was actually a huge metal pipe, giving Roy the feeling of crawling through a sewer.

A fleeting dream, the new palace of the king of lust.

After the old palace fell, Asmodeus quickly found another bubble island and built a new palace for the King of Lust.

The palace was not long ago, and the furnishings inside were all very new, but Asmodeus, lying on the bed, showed no joy at moving into his new home.

For some reason, Asmodeus had been feeling melancholy ever since his fall from the old palace, and he couldn't muster any enthusiasm for anything.

Since that day, the King of Lust has not dealt with matters of the third level of hell for more than a year.

Fortunately, Asmodeus's daughters are all very capable, and even without her presence, the Dream Bubble continues to be a place of peace and prosperity.

"Ugh!"

Asmodeus sighed deeply. The image of that man, the man she had personally sent to the depths of hell, kept appearing in her mind.

Why did things turn out this way?

Just as he was sighing, a woman's voice came from outside the palace.

"Mother, dinner is ready."

"I have no appetite and don't want to eat anything."

"Mother, you haven't eaten for almost a month, please eat something!"

I said I have no appetite!

Asmodeus's voice suddenly rose, sounding somewhat angry, which startled the woman outside the door.

However, Asmodeus quickly realized that being so fierce was not a good idea, so he softened his tone immediately.

"Just leave the food at the door. I'll eat it myself if I get hungry."

"Yes, mother!"

The woman placed the food on the small table by the door and hurriedly left.

Asmodeus continued to sigh in the room, occasionally picking up a mirror to examine himself.

Suddenly, the King of Lust heard some strange sounds coming from the room, like the sound of scales rubbing against a velvet carpet.

Asmodeus frowned slightly. He knew that under the oppressive power of the Demon King of Hell, it was impossible for any creature that shouldn't be there to appear in the palace, not even an extra fly.

The Queen of Lust looked in the direction from which the sound came and saw a small snake, about ten centimeters long, crawl into her palace from who-knows-where.

Even a normal snake, or even a snake from hell, wouldn't have the audacity to sneak into the bedchamber of the King of Lust, so this snake could only be a human.

"Leviathan, you've crossed the line."

That's what she said, but Asmodeus remained lying motionless on the bed. She simply couldn't muster the energy, even with the King of Jealousy appearing uninvited.

"Asmodeus, I've come to tell you some bad news!"

"Really? Then hurry up and tell me, and then get out of here!"

Asmodeus's strange attitude puzzled Leviathan, but it still delivered the bad news. "Roy Black is alive, and he has become incredibly powerful, and he's now in Dream Bubble!"

"What! Are you telling the truth?"

Asmodeus suddenly sat up, his expression quite strange.

“Of course it’s true! Samael is dead at the hands of Roy Black, and Mammon is also under his control! Asmodeus, Roy Black will not let you go!”

The Queen of Lust finally understood what Leviathan meant by bad news. Her expression was incredibly complex, making it difficult to discern what she was thinking.

"Could it be that Roy Black has become Satan?"

"No! He's not Satan, but he possesses power no less than Satan's! Asmodeus, we must kill him, or none of us will have a good time!"

Clearly, Leviathan believed that Asmodeus had a grudge against Roy, so it came to confront Asmodeus in a final stand.

Asmodeus opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

After a long while, the King of Lust finally looked down at Leviathan.

"what should I do?"

“Roy Black will definitely come looking for you. I need you to distract him, and I’ll find an opportunity to inject my venom into his body!”

This is the only chance Leviathan can think of to turn the tide.

In a head-to-head contest, Samael and Leviathan have already proven themselves to be no match for Roy, and even the rule-playing Mammon was punished by Roy.

Leviathan can now only pin its hopes on its unique venom.

As mentioned before, Leviathan's venom is the most terrifying weapon in hell, and Roy's first real death was caused by its venom.

"Your venom?"

"Yes, my venom can kill him once, and it can kill him a second time! What do you say, Asmodeus? Let's cooperate!"

Asmodeus's expression gradually faded, and he finally nodded.

"Okay, let's cooperate!"

"Very good! I'll now conceal my presence and lie in ambush. The rest is up to you!"

Asmodeus got out of bed and walked to the window, looking at the pink sky in the distance.

“Roy Black…”

"Achoo! Is someone talking about me?"

Through the metal pipes of the Golden Maze, Roy actually entered a sewer system, and then through this sewer system arrived at a brightly lit, deserted island.

If the Golden Labyrinth is a giant casino, then the Dream Bubble is a giant brothel.

As soon as Roy arrived on the ground, several succubi wanted to do a multi-billion dollar deal with him.

Unfortunately, Roy was almost desensitized to succubi. During his time in the City of Eternal Night, he was practically tired of playing with them.

To be honest, these succubi are beautiful, and their aura of desire can easily intoxicate the opposite sex. However, Roy felt that succubi lacked soul. Playing games with them was purely about venting lust, without any sense of spiritual connection.

Roy misses Earth women terribly now; only when he's with them does he feel a deep sense of peace.

Belial: And me?

Roy: Stop messing around! You're all my wings!

While Roy was observing the illusory bubble, a tall demon suddenly blocked his way.

"Hey kid, how much are you selling them for?"

Roy: ? ? ? You son of a bitch!
In the blink of an eye, the demon vanished amidst a roar, reappearing embedded in the wall.

The sudden violence caused the succubi who were soliciting business to scatter like birds and beasts, and then the guards responsible for maintaining order appeared.

Unlike other hells, the succubi, the native inhabitants of Dream Bubble, rarely participate in combat; order is mainly maintained by foreign demon legions.

Furthermore, the management of violent behavior here is very strict. After all, injuring either service staff or customers will seriously affect business and reputation, which is why these demon guards appear.

Roy had originally wanted to see the scenery of the Dream Bubble, but given the current situation, he had no choice but to go to Asmodeus.

"Who dares to cause trouble on Her Majesty the Lustful Queen's territory?"

A red-skinned demon, about seven meters tall, stepped forward and looked down at Roy.

"Boy, how dare you run wild on Her Majesty the Lust Queen's territory!"

Roy was displeased with this, and he quickly transformed into his demon form, growing larger and larger until he was over ten meters tall, but his body continued to grow.

After obtaining the power of Leviathan, Roy gained the ability to change size at will, freely altering his physical form and even changing certain specific body parts.

It wasn't until they reached a height of one hundred meters that Roy looked down at the red-skinned demon.

"Who did you just call 'kid'?"

The red-skinned demon and the demon guards behind him all dropped their weapons to the ground, and then they all knelt down.

"It's me! It's me! Sir, please don't kill me!"

Roy thought these demon guards would be as tough as the guards in the City of Eternal Night, but he was clearly overestimating them.

The demon guards of Dream Bubble are all mercenaries. They have no sense of honor and are only there to make a living. Naturally, they would not risk their lives for Asmodeus.

"Hmph! Where is Asmodeus's new palace?"

This question made the demon guards hesitate for a moment, as they worried that speaking out would lead to retaliation from the King of Lust.

"Answer me now! Or I'll kill you all right now!"

Under Roy's threat, one of the demons finally raised his hand and pointed in a direction, so Roy took off and flew through the bubbles toward that direction.

The Dream Bubble Hell is incredibly magical. All the land here is inside giant bubbles, which support the land yet float in the void.

However, if you leave the bubble, you will feel a huge gravitational pull. Even when Roy flew out of the bubble, he almost crashed.

Fortunately, Roy quickly shrunk his body and entered his phoenix form, thus escaping the terrifying gravity and successfully flying in the pink void.

"Fuck! No wonder there were no demons flying around in the Dream Bubble!"

There are actually quite a few winged demons; the local succubi are winged by nature.

But in the dream bubble, you can't see demons flying at all.

It's understandable that flying is prohibited inside the bubble because it's a town area, but it's a bit unusual that you can't see any flying creatures outside the bubble either.

It turns out that the gravity of the Dream Bubble is extremely abnormal, and ordinary demons cannot fly here. Only demons of the Demon King level can fly here.

As for how to travel between towns in Fantasy Bubble, it's naturally through various teleportation portals.

Roy didn't want to waste time looking for the portal, so he chose to fly there directly in his phoenix form.

In its phoenix form, Roy could reach a top speed of Mach 50, and soon he saw a huge palace.

"It should be right here!"
