Chapter 237 Chapter 390 Chapter 391 Bad News

"Okay, I'll have the Angel Legion on standby..."

"But what I want to tell you is that in this war with Hell, Heaven has never attempted to win. The ones who can truly influence the outcome of this war... are actually humans themselves!!"

After saying that, Remiel flapped the pair of white wings behind him fiercely, and flew in at lightning speed before the "Gate of Heaven" was officially closed.

A few seconds later, the huge door in the sky emitting sacred light also disappeared.

"Tsk, if the Boss hadn't thought of a countermeasure in advance, we would have been successfully evaded by that birdman just now."

Frank said with disdain, "You keep saying it's for humanity... but you've never even attempted to win the millennia-long battle against Hell... So, if you two fight, it's us humans who become expendable?"

Logan Howlett also grumbled in agreement, "That's right, I stopped believing in these hypocritical things a long time ago."

"Hey……"

Damon Hellstorm, who clearly knew more of the inside story, sighed helplessly and said, "In fact, whether for Heaven or Hell, human souls are extremely important strategic resources."

"So it should be said that neither side actually wants this huge war to end too soon."

"But the mission assigned by the Boss has finally been successfully completed. Now let's wait and see the dog-eat-dog fight between the two sides!!"

Frank and Logan Howlett both showed a look of gloating on their faces.

"That's right. These idiots probably wouldn't even think of it, but this is all part of Boss's plan..."

…………

……

The time of washing your face goes back to 5 minutes ago.

The [Hell Dimension] where Marduk Kurios is located.

"The [Armistice] has finally begun..."

Marduk Kurios stood in front of the window, gazing into the distance at the huge portal leading to the earth at the end of his vision, with a smug grin on his face.

"What do you think? When that old God learned that his most powerful Seraph had been utterly slain by a mere mortal, what kind of expression would he have? Anger, frustration, sorrow, or disappointment?"

In the hall, more than ten [Demon Lords] who were also [Fallen Angels] smiled eerily upon hearing this.

"Haha, that old fellow probably never dreamed that Lord Marduk could come up with such a reasonable way to circumvent the constraints of the [Armistice] and seize the Earth, right?"

"That's right. First, we'll use that human wizard to assassinate him, and then use him as a scapegoat... This will not only trigger the 'safety mechanism' and permanently close the 'Gate of Heaven', but also eliminate any reason for Heaven to launch a full-scale attack on us afterwards, thus making them suffer a huge loss."

"Master Marduk's move... is truly brilliant!!"

"Hehe, all we have to do now is quietly wait for the [Armistice] to end. Then, once the 'Gate of Heaven' is completely closed, we can unleash our unbridled attack on the human world."

"Haha, I can finally enjoy a delicious meal of human souls."

The [Demon Lords] in the hall became more and more excited as they talked, and they were all ready to do something big.

Now, as long as Marduk Kurios gives the order, they will immediately lead their troops to the human world to carry out slaughter.

"As long as this plan succeeds, no one will be able to stop me from becoming the true [King of Hell]."

Marduk Kurios looked at the Flame Legion, which had already assembled on the plain below the palace, and a sense of heroism suddenly arose in his heart.

Ever since the entire [Hell] was shattered into several dimensional fragments, these damaged dimensional spaces have become the focus of competition among various demon kings.

Finally, after a long and brutal battle, several demon kings, including Marduk Kurios and Mephisto, emerged from the crowd of competitors.

After successfully occupying these dimensional fragments, they were able to use the power of [Hell] to be promoted from [Demon Lords] to true [Lords of Hell].

Among them, Marduk Kurios was not the only one who called himself "Satan".

Several other [Lords of Hell] have also called themselves that.

But only they themselves know that they are not the real Satan.

Because before all the [Hell Dimension Fragments] are completely unified and resynthesized into a complete [Hell], the true King of Hell [Satan] will never be born!
Even when the [Round Table Meeting of the Lords of Hell] was held, even though the demon lords were only one step away from the [Throne of Satan] in the center of hell, no one dared to sit on it rashly.

They knew very well that without the recognition of the [Will of Hell], anyone who sat on it would only suffer a fatal backlash from the power of Hell.

What's more, before dealing with other competing demons, the first person to sit on it will be immediately torn to pieces by other ambitious people.

Therefore, all the competitors who are qualified to compete for the [Throne of Satan], including Marduk Kurios, have been trying every possible way to accumulate strength for themselves over the past thousands of years, just to be able to unify [Hell] one day!
however.

A key factor that plays a decisive role in improving the overall strength of the [Hell Dimension] is the need for a large number of high-quality human souls.

But the problem is that since the successful rise of Kamar-Taj, it has used the powerful force of Vishanti to build three magical temples on Earth that can isolate all the Dimension Lords (including the Lords of Hell).

This also means that Marduk Kurios and other [Lords of Hell] can no longer kill people on Earth as recklessly as before and reap large numbers of souls.

From then on, they had only two ways to harvest human souls.

One is to salvage those unqualified and inferior souls from the [River Styx] by themselves.

But this kind of soul has no other use except to create some low-level demons that have no brains and may not even understand instructions.

It can be said to be the worst of all.

The second is to spread disaster and fear (or greed, jealousy, etc.) in the human world through their respective agents, thereby obtaining a large number of human souls.

however.

These two methods were so bland that they were hard to swallow for the [Lords of Hell] who had feasted on them before.

To make matters worse, the well-fed [Forces of Heaven] turned their attention to several [Dimensions of Hell] and started a long and endless war with them.

Since several [Lords of Hell] are not the real [Satan], they do not have the power to "resurrect" demons below the level of the Great Demon.

(Note: The souls of high-level demons are recognized and protected by the [Hell Dimension], so after death, when the soul returns to the dimensional space, it can reshape the body after a certain period of cohesion)
As a result, the [Lords of Hell], including Marduk Kurios, were forced to rely on their old capital. However, they could only worry about it, without any way to break the deadlock.

Mephisto was so anxious that he personally took action, and from time to time he used [Astral Projection] to go to the human world to cheat and deceive people.

Although the other demon kings also wanted to do the same, they were too embarrassed to do so.

So he could only laugh at Mephisto for being so hungry and not being a lord at all, while secretly observing how he tricked the other party into getting a few more high-quality human souls.

But Marduk Kurios was completely different from these guys.

As a [Fallen Angel], he has greater and more ambitious ambitions and pursuits.

He wanted to reach the top step by step, he wanted to be Zhao Gao... No, he wanted to be the real King of Hell!!

It was out of this ambition that he secretly planned this conspiracy.

As for whether such a large-scale invasion of the human world would lead to suppression from Kamar-Taj... he had already prepared for this.

Last time on [Belle Island], Lilith successfully opened the dimensional channel by sacrificing humans, thereby releasing tens of thousands of low-level demons.

Although many wizards including the [Supreme Sorcerer] Ancient One tried to stop them in the later period, a large number of demons still managed to escape to the human world.

The demons with higher intelligence mixed in among them all come from the [Flame Legion].

They devoured human flesh and blood, transformed themselves into human form, and successfully hid.

In order to track down the whereabouts of these demons, Kamar-Taj sent a large number of manpower during this period... Yes, Marduk Kurios wanted to use this method to make Kamar-Taj too busy to take care of itself.

And through the tests during this period, he has roughly figured out the size of Kamar-Taj.

So the next step is to divide the [Flame Legion] into several battle groups that far exceed the limit of [Kama-Taj]'s ability to cope with, and then enter the Earth from different areas to easily solve this problem.

In other words: sacrifice the small to save the big!

Actively sacrifice a certain number of warbands to contain the mages of Kamar-Taj, and then other warbands take the opportunity to frantically harvest human souls.

Even if Ancient One could react in the end, it would be too late!

Because as long as a large number of human souls are received, Marduk Kurios can obtain more powerful power blessings from the [Will of Hell] and create more high-level demon commanders.

Then he'll take the opportunity to destroy the other [Lords of Hell], annex their dimensions... and ultimately sit on the [Throne of Satan]!

So no matter how you look at it, we're definitely going to win this time, okay?

Marduk Kurios had even begun to imagine the wonderful scene of himself sitting on the [Throne of Satan] and the other demon kings kneeling down in submission.

Great!!

"Tsk, a bunch of arrogant clowns, let me see if you can come out with a smile later."

In the corner, Satana Hellstorm lazily laid her upper body on a small white round table made of the shell of some unknown creature, fiddling with the colorful "subspace bead" while watching the "monkey show" in the hall with little interest.

Especially when she saw the excited look on her bastard father's face, as if he was ready to show his strength, the female half-demon almost laughed out loud on the spot.

"Hahahaha, I never thought that my bastard dad, who boasts of his great talent and ambition and is determined to become the King of Hell, would actually end up being made a fool of himself one day."

"No, no, that bastard dad isn't stupid at all. It's just that man is too smart..."

"Oh my, I really want to know what that man will do. I bet it will be very exciting and interesting, right?"

"He's really brave, plotting against both Heaven and Hell at the same time!"

"But only men like this can make people obsessed."

As soon as she thought of Carl, Satana no longer felt dull and boring.

She decided to wait until this mission was over, and when she returned, she would make sure her brother recounted the entire process to her in detail... no, he would have to tell her several times.

"Lord Satan, this is bad!!"

At this moment, a high-ranking demon with a pair of black bat wings on its back suddenly flew into the hall. He no longer cared about the normal worship etiquette and wailed like a bereaved family, "Lord Bruce has been killed!!"

The lively discussions in the hall suddenly stopped, and all the [Demon Lords] looked at the bat demon in astonishment.

Satana Hellstorm in the corner blinked her big, charming eyes and began to eat the melon with great interest.

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this, Marduk Kurios's expression suddenly changed. He raised his hand and grabbed the bat demon's neck, pulling it closer, and asked viciously:

"Tell me quickly, what happened? Who did it?"

"It was... that human wizard who did this."

The Bat Demon said in a trembling voice, "He first killed Michael as planned, and then, for some reason, after talking to Lord Bryce for a few words, he launched a sneak attack...

After killing Lord Bruis, he took the fragment of the Dark Book and escaped underground."

"Then we were attacked by the Angel Legion... Seeing that victory was hopeless, I decided I had to survive and report this important news to Lord Satan. So, I took advantage of the chaos and hid myself, which is how I managed to escape."

"It's actually Necrodamus... How could that despicable human ant have such courage?"

After hearing the whole story, Marduk Kurios calmed down and things did not seem to be developing in the worst direction.

He waved his hand and flung the bat demon away, then pinched his chin, frowned and thought:

"Kill Michael first, then attack Bryce... Could it be that he guessed I would attack him later, so he took the opportunity to rob me, kill Bryce, and steal the page of the [Dark God Book - Fragment]?"

"I don't rule out this possibility... Hey, wait a minute?!"
