From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 109 Lucifer's Revenge (Bonus Chapter 44 for Monthly Tickets)

"Hiss... Ah!" Jose's terrifying howl echoed throughout the space. At this moment, these powers belonging to him made him feel what it meant to be worse than dead!

As expected of a demon's contract, it contains no warmth whatsoever, only bloody horror and pain.

There is no such thing as kindness, gentleness, justice, or mercy in the laws of hell; there is only naked death, slaughter, bloodshed, and exchange!

Jose's cries of pain echoed in the ears of the believers, but they did not feel fear; instead, a peculiar fanaticism appeared in their eyes.

After all, they are not afraid of pain. Living in this hellish city, they are never short of pain. It is because of this pain that they behave strangely and seek some special solace in this area.

This is what Jiabo wanted them to see—the real world hidden in the shadows.

Putting aside other things, those who can believe in "atonement coins" are more likely to believe in the existence of gods and demons, and are also more likely to become the fixed recipients of willpower.

After these people had been sufficiently frightened, Gabo raised his hand and spun the hourglass again. The world came to a standstill once more, leaving only José still wailing in pain, experiencing the sensation of knowledge entering his mind.

Gabo is not Baphomet; he is not the Lord of Hell, but a special demon god of Hell whose attributes are knowledge, emotion, and time and space.

Therefore, what he gave José was never great power, but knowledge itself!

He didn't know how much time had passed, but José awoke from his endless torment, without getting lost in the realm of suffering.

Before him, a special parchment scroll slowly unfurled, transforming into lines of text he could recognize:

The Contract of Knowledge Flow

Article 1. Smart Transactions

"Jiabo touched Jiafang's forehead bone with his molten gold-like fingers and poured in:"

Deconstruction of the brickwork of the Tower of Babel

Fragments of the future within three days

The power of reversing the target's likes and dislikes

Article Two: The Price of Blood and Flesh

"Contractors must cede three fundamental principles of cognition:"

①Language instinct: After the treaty was signed, they gradually lost their mother tongue and could only communicate using the newly acquired ancient cuneiform script.
② Time perception: With each acquisition of knowledge, the aging rate accelerates to 300% of the original rate.
③ Divine Memory: Permanent loss of memories of communicating with divine beings

Article 3. Spatial Constraints

"If the contracting party breaches the contract, Jiabo may open the Star Map Rift at any time to teleport the client to:"

The burning Library of Alexandria or the sunken copper mines of King Solomon—may eternal life be punished with the abyss of fire!

Upon seeing this, Jose, who roughly understood the meaning of "Devil's Contract," was somewhat surprised. "This doesn't make sense. Why aren't there corresponding clauses?"

What he wanted to ask was, why was he the only one being punished, and not the other party? This didn't fit the definition of a contract!
Jiabo seemed to know what he was thinking and said calmly, "I am the possessor of knowledge. This is the power I possess, not a power from hell. There is no price to pay!"

Jose understood what Gabo meant. Gabo's words were simple: he was telling himself that all these things belonged to him, and that he belonged to him as well.

Looking at the price of using power, Jose became even calmer. He looked at Gabo and slowly asked, "The moment I signed the contract, did my soul already belong to you?"

“You human beings always value your souls so much! Your souls aren’t that important; your existence is more important to me!” Gabo turned to look at him and said solemnly, “Souls belong to hell, to Satan, not to me!” Seeing his suddenly serious expression, Jose seemed to understand but not quite.

So, does that mean Hell has very strict control over souls, and even a great demon like Gabo doesn't have the authority to deal with souls?

But as he continued reading the contract, Jose's gaze became increasingly vacant. The three abilities seemed plausible, but what did it mean to lose one's mother tongue and only be able to communicate using ancient scripts?
What does it mean to lose three times the lifespan after acquiring knowledge? What does it mean to lose the memory of communicating with divine beings?
"What I mean is that you will gain the ability to communicate with the gods, fallen angels, and demons that existed in the Babylonian and Sumerian systems. You will also receive knowledge from me, and you will become a prophet, but you will never remember ever having met me!"

Gabo said quite frankly, "This is, after all, something that will cause trouble for Heaven. I don't want to be chased to Hell by Michael and killed!"

You've really let yourself go! You're telling me things like this just because I can't remember them, right?

Jose was completely distraught. Wasn't this tantamount to him being blamed for everything that went wrong in the future? Could he refuse?
It's obvious that it's impossible; he has no reason to refuse, and even if he did refuse, probably no one would accept it.

With a sigh, José could only nod in agreement. Fortunately, he had no relatives and was an orphan, so he wouldn't be a burden on his family. He signed the papers!
Just as he was thinking this, his name and Gabo's name appeared together on the parchment:
[Party Contractor: José Carmen]

Knowledge Master: Jiabo
Contract reached

At the moment of achievement, José could feel that his previously incredibly painful mind had been filled with a vast amount of knowledge. This knowledge swirled and unfolded in his mind, giving him a deeper understanding of his own image and position.

Some unique "abilities" also gradually appeared on him, such as the ability to foresee fragments of the future, the ability to "see" the emotions of believers, and of course, the "brick deconstruction technique" from the ancient Babylonian kingdom!
This is an incredibly powerful and magical ability that allows him to deconstruct and modify certain properties of the bricks.

He can make his body as hard as stone, and he can also manipulate bricks and stones to make them an aid to certain people, or actively build them up.

This ability is very powerful. Jose can even sense that he can easily decide the life and death of dozens or even hundreds of people. However, this ability also consumes a lot of resources. Once he uses it beyond the limit, it will directly consume his life!
"Perhaps I should seek out some knowledge that can prolong my life!" José thought to himself, while Gabo, standing before him, was already preparing to leave.

“Complete your task well, and you will receive my reward! If you do well, after you go to Hell, His Majesty Amaimon will bestow upon you a true divine position!” Gabo said!
“But Your Majesty, you haven’t said yet… what is the task I’m tasked with!” José hurriedly said!
This is the most important thing. He signed the contract in a daze and offered up his soul in a daze. This is all part of the "atonement" process. But now he can't just accept the mission in a daze, can he?
The crucial point is, he doesn't even know what the mission is!

“This task comes from Mr. Lucifer…” Upon hearing Jose’s words, Gabo nodded slightly and revealed the true purpose, “He wants you to kill those who believe in God, preferably those who consider themselves ‘servants of God’!”

"The Holy Light has gone too far; their reach has extended into Hell! Lucifer is very unhappy. You need to kill enough believers to satisfy him!"

"Kill them, and you will receive the contract as a gift!"

That's certainly true, but he concealed the fact that everyone was trembling with fear after Michael intervened in Hell, and only now do they dare to come out and cause some trouble for these hypocritical guys.

“Kill those people? This… won’t a paladin or some kind of retribution bishop come after me?” Jose asked with some fear.

"Is the power I gave you just for show? Kill them all!" Gabo roared. "Besides, do you really have to do it yourself?"

Now that he heard that, Jose understood. So they wanted him to find someone to do it! That's easy enough.
As long as he doesn't do these things himself, he can largely get rid of his worries. Miami has everything, but the one thing it has in abundance is outlaws!
Besides, since he can foresee the future, why doesn't he just slip away when someone comes looking for him? If all else fails, he can fight first and then escape! How could a prophet not be able to run away?
After doing all this, José felt a moment of dizziness, and he was back in the church, surrounded by those familiar "clergy."

But now, these people, who seemed to have just awakened, rushed up to José with a fanatical look on their faces, "Your Excellency Archbishop, I want to buy indulgence coins!"

After experiencing the "mystery" just now, these believers have long since become fanatics!

"Don't rush, no need to rush, everyone has coins to buy!" José said happily. "Not only can you buy, but you can also get some special hints that belong to me!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd surged forward even more enthusiastically, only to be stopped by a stone wall that suddenly rose up.

Those who witnessed this became even more fervent, excitedly feeling that they had not joined a fraudulent organization, but a genuine "supernatural cult"!

Jose could also sense that he had become a true "archbishop," and it seemed that he also had his own "ultimate mission"!
But he seemed to have no recollection of what had just happened—was this the lost divine memory?
