Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

Both Adam and Eve had long lifespans, but as a woman born from Adam's rib, Eve's lifespan was ultimately only half that of Adam. Adam would live to be 930, while Eve would only live to be 465.

This age meant that Adam's death was a relatively recent event, and it was only with the death of Adam, the first man, that the tradition of connecting good human souls to heaven was established.

Otherwise, if we were to sort by time, Abel would have been the first to go to heaven.

Before this, the souls of all people could neither go to heaven nor to hell, and Cain's wandering torment was no exception.

At that time, it was common for humans to go to heaven. It can be said that, except for Cain, all of Adam's descendants went to heaven.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Adam only became aware of Eve's disappearance later.

But Adam believed it was Lucifer playing tricks again, so he hid his wife's soul and the souls of his sons while they waited to ascend to Heaven.

But he was helpless. Adam had no way to go to Hell at that time. In fact, Adam was only able to freely enter and leave Hell in recent years after Sira agreed to let him carry out the Great Extinction.

But in Hell, Lucifer and Lilith didn't find Eve's soul either, but they both took it for granted.

After all, Eve was an unlucky girl who was tricked by them, and according to the standards of Heaven, she should go to Heaven!

"But it wasn't until seven years ago, when I gathered the lords of the Pride Ring to prepare for an attack on Heaven, that I realized something was wrong."

Lilith said slowly.

"Back then, I bestowed upon sinners the power of song, allowing them to gradually grow stronger after entering Hell. But what I didn't realize then was the discrepancy in the number of sinners. From the very beginning of Earth's existence until then, the number of sinners who fell into the Ring of Pride was only a few billion..."

"Back then, I thought Heaven had too low a requirement for entry, but seven years ago, after I resolved to wage war because of Adam's mass extinction, I realized—"

"Eve, she has always been in hell."

Lilith sighed at this point and said softly.

“I thought the song of hell was drawn from her corpse, but I didn’t expect that ROO had already escaped with Eve’s help. Therefore, the song of hell was already an extension of her power and will.”

"So I gave up continuing the war and instead made a deal to come to heaven to escape her clutches."

"Why?" Tsurugi asked curiously. "Shouldn't an old-fashioned person like you be happy to restore the old order?"

"Do you think I hold a high position in the Canaanite mythology?" Lilith asked, glancing sideways.

Indeed, although Lilith is a fictional character inserted into the Bible, just like Nebuchadnezzar, one of the prototypes of Prison Road, she is nothing in the original Bible but is greatly elevated in the fictional versions of the Bible.

In Canaanite mythology, Lilith at best qualifies as the mother of nightmares and evil spirits, a storm witch—barely reaching the status of a god. Conversely, in the Bible, her status is far higher.

Adam's ex-wife, the first witch to fall into Hell—don't be fooled by the people of Heaven looking down on those who work in Hell; that position isn't something anyone can just get!

So Lilith's reason for giving up is also very realistic: compared to the previous small, run-down company, God's big company offers better benefits!

“I’m not that realistic either!” Lilith retorted.

"I gave it up for Shirley, my lovely daughter!"

"So how did you two raise your daughter to be such a jerk?"

Tsurugi's question caused Lilith to freeze. She opened her mouth slightly, remained silent, pondered, and then sighed dejectedly.

"All I can say is... Lucifer and I are both quite busy."

829 >>

"All I can say is... Lucifer and I are both quite busy."

Sigh, the family of origin! Sigh, new parents!

"In short, although I am part of Him, I have absolutely no desire for ROO to win the war," Lilith said, waving her hand.

"Can she beat God's Spokesperson?"

“Under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t be rivals, but—as you can see, this world originally belonged to them,” Lilith said softly.

“The deviation of fate will eventually lead Him to grow stronger and stronger. Perhaps before the day of judgment, the inevitable war in heaven will break out.”

"Even if Heaven wins, this world will perish and be reborn!"

"Then why don't you just let God's representative take action?"

“Because… she belongs to the ‘newer’ side of God.” Lilith used an analogy, “So her conflict with ROO neutralized some of their characteristics, making ROO seem less insane, and at the same time, it naturally borrowed some characteristics of God’s spokesperson when creating the demons in Hell.”

—Got it, so the Protestant left-wing God is waging a side battle against the old Canaanite mythologists, right?

The old man's way of suppressing his own poop is, as expected, another pile of his own poop-flavored chocolate!

Tsugumi once again understood why Michael insisted on assigning him this task!

Damn, I'm a true gourmet! (Applause)

"In short, you are His messenger, you have His grace, and—you possess both the power of angels and demons."

Lilith looked at Tsugumi with loving eyes and said softly

"You are Neferpitou—"

"I am Mephisto, you should call me Father, you unfilial daughter!" Tsurugi was clearly unwilling to acknowledge a new mother and said without any politeness.

Lilith, who had failed to gain an advantage and was even ridiculed by the lion-like language system of Tsurugi, pouted and then waved her hand.

"In short, that's the gist of it. Since you have the ability and want to make a change, I'll tell you the truth. As for what you do next—"

"It's none of my business, and I have no ability to manage it! Now it's fine, don't bother me while I'm sunbathing!"

Lilith waved her hand, signaling the guests to leave, while Tsugumi, having thoroughly enjoyed the juicy gossip, happily departed.

Has the plan changed? No!

The plan to start a war between Heaven and Hell remains on the agenda. Since he cannot change Heaven through the methods of angels, he will resort to the methods of demons!

They'll go to hell, and to the other six rings of hell!

The Pride Ring has already been destroyed by him, and the other hells cannot be neglected either—after all, it's not just this damned Heaven that's been neglecting its duties.

How can these hellish demons be so lazy? As a newly promoted archangel, how can I not give them a good stomp on the back? However, the plan has changed. Since it's so interesting, how can Tsugumi not bring a few more people over!

Since this world is an 'open-air toilet' that God is not too happy to let people see, and it seems that even Michael may not know the full story, why can't Tsuruga take advantage of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to trick as many people as possible to amuse himself?

Hehe, let's do something big, let's go!

After leaving Lilith's place, Tsurugi found a spot and used the Tiger Talisman to split himself in two.

The 'good' one continues to serve as the Archangel of Justice, while the 'evil' one, disguised as the King of Hatred, is directly transported to Hell.

He went to look for Lucifer first, but couldn't find him. The old socially awkward man had disappeared, leaving behind only a blank Goetia grimoire and an address.

This address points to another city in the Pride Ring, where there is a company called IMP, run by a little devil.

What he did wasn't important; the key was that this little devil managed to get his hands on a Goetia nobleman's grimoire, which allowed him to freely open smuggling passages to other rings.

This is exactly what Dongjiang needs.

Tsugumi took the grimoire and then left the now-ruined Pentagram City.

He quickly found the building with horns and entered through the door marked with the letters IMP.

He could hear the commotion inside the door even before he went in.

"Damn it, Millie! Moses! We need to pack our things and get out of here!"

"The Pride Ring is in turmoil now; those angels from Heaven might just come down here to cause trouble!"

"Luna! Yes, my darling Luna! Don't take those things with you, let's go straight through the portal—"

Squeak~~~~

The company door was suddenly pushed open by itself without any wind, and the eyes of the three demons and the dog all turned to look at them.

In Tsuruga's view, these were three very stereotypical angry red-skinned imps and a Furious humanoid hellhound that looked very punk and rebellious.

Nothing special, nothing to talk about.

But their expressions after seeing Tsurugi were quite interesting.

At first, there was astonishment, then disbelief, followed by probing, and then—

"Ah!!! It's him, it's him!!!"

The little devil named Moses let out a scream as loud as a woman's, pointing at the Dongjiang River and howling.

829>>>>

"It's that super demon!!!"

“Idiots, we’re devils too!” Billies cursed his incompetent employees, then walked toward the Dongjiang River, accompanied by the sound of two trembling, rushing streams.

Ha, you think I sweat? Actually, I pee!

549. The Most Evil Boss

Tsuruga knew that in the eyes of the sinners and demons of today, she was someone who could stop a child from crying at night.

But he never expected that he would be so 'renowned' in the original demon circle.

Oh, he still uses the appearance of a saint, only without the beard.

Even so, this face is still quite recognizable.

"Welcome to IMP, where we offer hellish, professional assassination services. I'm Billitz, o o no sound!"

The little devil named Billy, reeking of sheep's urine, nervously served Dongjiang a cup of hot tea, then began to introduce the company's business with a forced smile.

"Who...who do you want us to kill?"

"So you take on missions to assassinate Satan?"

Looking at this little devil, Tsugumi felt like teasing him and deliberately said with interest...

Then Billy peed even more.

"Are you fucking not teasing me?!"

Billies slammed his hand on the table, but realizing who was opposite him, he immediately shrank back and gave an awkward laugh.

"We do not accept this business."

"Namamen, Asmodeus, Beelzebub, Belial, Leviathan..."

Dongjiang rattled off the names of the remaining Ring Masters as if they were his own treasures, paused, and then tilted his head and said...

"And Lucifer! I have his address and his daughter's whereabouts. Want to give it a try?"
