From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 108 The Secret Contract
Gabo, the legendary fallen angel, sometimes appears as a noble prince in the eyes of mortals, and sometimes as a majestic griffin.

In some legends, he is also a great demon with bull horns on his head and bat wings on his back!

He is a powerful demon god who can strip away or bestow knowledge upon people, interfere with human emotions, and also possesses the skills of spatial teleportation and time travel!
"Very good. He's the smart person I've chosen, not some clueless idiot!"

Upon hearing this, Gabo nodded with satisfaction. "I am Gabo, a noble young master, a fallen angel, and also the supreme leader, the king of the legions of demons, elves, and fallen angels!"

He looked at José, the coldness on his face gone, replaced by curiosity. "I'm curious, what were you thinking, daring to put our names together with that person?"

"Do you think we didn't die thoroughly enough? Or do you think we really have the power to fight against that being?"

Hearing these words, which were clearly a "question," left José speechless.

He could guess who the other person was referring to as "that person." Since the Demon God was real, the rumors in New York were probably true too!

If everything is true, then isn't God also true?

The seventy-two demons couldn't even defeat the angel Raziel, so how could they possibly be a match for God?
Jose was just spreading the story that "God gave the order to the seventy-two demons to destroy the world." In the eyes of the other side, wasn't he just making things difficult for their demonic lives?
As José thought about this, his face was filled with despair. He never expected that the story he casually edited would become his death warrant!

Given the personality this demon god has displayed, it wouldn't be surprising if he killed himself the next second.

"Forget it, what do people like you know about the rules of Heaven or the laws of Hell? I don't need to explain these things to you!"

He looked at José and nodded with satisfaction. "I originally came here to find a suitable apostle, but now it seems you are very suitable! You're the one!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, revealing a special bronze scroll. "So, do you wish to sign a contract, mortal?"

Hearing this, what could José say? He could only lower his head and say loudly, "It is my honor, Your Majesty!"

“Very good!” Jiabo nodded slightly, then waved his hand, and the world seemed to turn upside down, putting the two of them and the believers in the church into a world that was almost completely black!

The instant the pure black space was formed, a phantom hourglass appeared beside the altar.

Jose could sense that they had been directly transported to a special space by this demon god, and were no longer in Miami.

“Your first task is to appease these believers. From this moment on, you are the true Archbishop of Solomon!” Gabo said casually. “This is a test for you!”

After saying that, he disappeared without even looking at José.

How could I possibly say no? José glanced at the hourglass beside him; time was running out, and he needed to get ready!

As the last grain of sand in the hourglass fell, the atmosphere returned to its previous fervor and excitement!

The group was still discussing how to use the atonement money and their boundless hopes for the future.

However, everyone is not stupid. Apart from a few people who were still celebrating, as time went by, more and more people realized that this place was different from the gathering place!
Because inside the windows, there is only endless darkness!
It was daytime just a moment ago, and now it's turned dark. Everyone knows something's not right.

Once this feeling of unease develops, it will inevitably lead to a mass panic!
Therefore, José did not hesitate any longer and stepped forward decisively, waving his hand to draw everyone's attention to him.

"Don't be nervous, I'm right here, what are you all so nervous about?" José shouted. "You're very lucky. This time, our Solomon Church has invited a true demon god to sign a pact with me!"

"This is the chasm between hell and earth, a place where neither the holy light of heaven nor the flames of hell can reach. Welcome to the sacred domain of Solomon!"

He is indeed a very good charlatan. Even though he was just hovering on the brink of death, he has now shown an attitude of having everything under control!

"The Sanctuary of Solomon?" These people were all tricked by him. Those who could be fooled by him were obviously not very smart. That's why they were skeptical after hearing these words.

"This is the sacred realm, the place where I signed the contract! Here, you will witness the prelude to the end times!"

José is indeed very dedicated; he's still performing the "doomsday story" he just told!

But many people were still skeptical. Could this "archbishop" be a human trafficker in this suddenly changed space?
Just as José was loudly proclaiming the doctrines of "Solomonism" in an attempt to appease the crowd, they suddenly fell silent, silencing the entire scene.

Their eyes were filled with red, a reflection of a peculiar object, a peculiar kind of fear! Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, José couldn't help but turn around to look behind him, wanting to see what exactly was causing their surprise.

Now he knew exactly what those people had seen!

Behind him, an altar, as fiery as flames, slowly rose up, and sixty-six bronze pillars descended slowly from the cracked space, then merged with the altar before their eyes.

The moment the bronze pillar emerged from the crack, the air was filled with the acrid smell of rust and sulfur, and the whispers of the believers suddenly froze.

At the very top of the altar, amidst the flickering firelight, a figure in black robes appeared.

The body beneath the black robe was shrouded in shadow, with only a pair of eyes burning like molten gold.

José knelt down without hesitation, looked up at the demon god before him, and began his performance: "Archbishop José Carmen of the Solomon Church requests Your Majesty to sign the contract!"

He cleverly changed the contract that the other party was forcing him to sign into the way he wanted to sign, which earned Jiabo's approval!
He stretched out his pale hand to the kneeling mortals, his voice echoing like the depths of an abyss:

“Mortal, you call me by my true name—cross the path of delusion and knock on the gates of the abyss.”

I am Gaap, the pillar god who commands the scepter of the sixty-six legions and wields the key to the 'unknowable'!
The power you crave…is here!

As he spoke, the hundreds of people below dared not utter a sound, because on the surface of the sixty-six bronze pillars, human faces appeared, looking extremely painful and struggling!

This convinced them that this place was truly a sacred realm, and that the person before them was a pillar demon god named Gabo!

The power of the vows surged continuously into the void, making Jiabo's actions, which were already in the midst of a ritual, even more solemn and serious!
At that moment, he tore open his black robe, revealing his true demonic form—a four-meter-tall body with bat wings and bull horns, casting a shadow over the entire area. This sight made the believers below hold their breath in utter astonishment!
Jiabo picked up the bronze scroll in his hand, tapped it on it, and continued:

"You lost soul yearning for wisdom! Do you truly need this knowledge? Sign this contract?"

José bowed his head and shouted, "I am fully prepared, Your Majesty!"

He suddenly felt a chill in his chest, as if an ice pick was pressing against his heart.

This isn't a feeling; it's a sign of the future!
The bronze scroll was opened, and from a blank page, a dark gold chain emerged, shooting into José's chest and pulling out a silvery-white mist from his body!

"Ah!" José let out an extremely suppressed scream, and then quickly fell silent, because the page of the bronze scroll had flown in front of him, a mysterious contract written in blood!

Jose could feel that something about him had been completely stripped away and etched onto his body, but at the same time, it seemed that something different had also appeared inside him!

Jiabo tapped the bronze scroll in his hand, and the book emitted a terrifying scream, just like a human!
"Your name is etched on page 33 of the Wan Yuan register—my legion is currently maneuvering between the gears of your spine!"

At that moment, terrifying laughter emanated from the sixty-six bronze pillars, seemingly mocking José for going astray, yet also welcoming him to the new path!

"When the last grain of sand fell into the blood chamber..."

Everything you have loved will become a reflection in the sand, and you—

It will become a new bronze pillar!

At this moment, the golden light in Jiabo's eyes shone with an endless, special radiance, making his final words seem like a sacred ritual!

"Now, feel the pain of gears meshing... This is your eternal crown!"

Drink this power—and then, burn away time for me!

As Gabo's fingers touched the top of Jose's head, a golden object entered his body!
Under the watchful eyes of all the believers, Archbishop José completed this perfect pact with the great demon Gabo!
The power belonging to the demon flowed into Jose's body little by little, golden light, demonic fire, and endless flames... expanding and exploding on his body!

This public agreement silenced every audience member and caused José to feel an indescribable pain!

Making a pact with the devil, whether voluntary or not, always comes at a price!
