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

"I am suffering, your hatred, and the fear in the darkness?"

She sang songs, and hell followed her voice, bringing with it boundless power—she was the source of the Hellish Song, the song that empowered sinners, and this source came from her.

She slowly walked up to Lucifer, looked at him panting as he clutched the wound on his chest, smiled, stroked his cheek, and then slowly slipped her hand into his wound.

"I am the root of all evil! Your tears make me grow stronger!"

Accompanied by a soaring song, countless terrifying eyes appeared on her blood-red hair, and her arms and body slowly entered Lucifer's body.

Lucifer tried to resist, but the sword piercing his chest allowed ROO's song to relentlessly invade his body and soul, and more importantly—

Shirley was bound by the shadow beneath her feet, the sharp dark shadow constantly lingering around her pale neck.

He is no longer the six-winged angel at the beginning of creation or the king of hell four hundred years ago.

He already had a weakness, a weakness he shouldn't have had: a child, a daughter, someone he truly loved with all his heart.

"Once a source of fear, now trapped in a cage. Chains cannot bind me, walls cannot stop me."

"When I break free of my restraints, the world will descend into darkness!"

"Revenge rises from the embers, the smoldering darkness will sweep away all obstacles, I will create catastrophe and bring about the end of the world!"

He sang the highest songs, and most of his body had almost completely merged into Lucifer's body.

He triumphantly controlled Lucifer's mouth, and in the song, He uttered His pride.

“My original plan did not go so smoothly—I originally intended for my lovely little pumpkin, Alastor, to take the opportunity to break my seal, and then I would slowly find an opportunity to break the seal while residing in his body.”

"But—who could have imagined that everything would go so smoothly?"

"That foolish six-winged angel, unable to tolerate the new rules of Hell, actually chose to tear up the rules here. That pentagram is the cage that imprisons you, and it is also the lid that seals me."

"So, I took over my beloved Alastor's body, killed Leviathan, and framed that ungrateful outsider! But I didn't expect him to kill Satan and take his place. But it doesn't matter. The moment I escaped, I poured all my hatred for Heaven into the demons of Hell."

"Whether sinners or demons, they were born upon my corpse, their souls are linked to me, and are equal to my hatred."

"But so what? He waged an unbearable war against Heaven, and that pure hatred was so sweet—I regret that I cannot replace him, but your body is more suitable for me."

"He will lead the way for me, working with my beloved children in Hell to deplete Heaven's power, forcing her to act, and then—I will take everything!"

His body, accompanied by the final song, had completely merged into Lucifer's body, and the last words spoken were a prophecy.

"The year of the dove carrying a branch is approaching, the eternal throne in the heavens will fall, and the world will be renewed. Then the messengers of the heavens will begin a war against the terrifying kings of the old world. Those terrifying kings are dragons."

The original One created its own luminous shadow, which will rise from the corpse, grow wings, wear a crown, and be born from an egg, indistinguishable in gender.

Then, a second throne appeared in the heavens, as if the great war at the beginning of creation had begun again. The heavens collapsed, the earth cracked, and ultimately—the deepest malice would rise!

She spoke the exact same prophecy as Lucifer, and with the last word, she had completely taken control of the six-winged angel's body.

When He spread His wings, their color was no longer a snow-white tinged with crimson, but a deep, profound darkness.

"Yahweh! Jehovah! Jesus! Whatever your name may be, whatever form you take!"

His hand pointed to the void, and a maniacal smile appeared on his face as he controlled Lucifer's body.

"God! I will pull you off your throne, I will exact my revenge, and I will achieve unparalleled glory by stepping on your corpse!"

"Then, I will become the one and only—God!!!"

Then, controlling Lucifer's body, He laughed wildly, before flapping His wings and disappearing into the Ring of Pride.

Beep~~~

"—This has been seriously added to the 'Lucifer's Dark History of Remarks' folder."

Tsugumi put down the magic recording device in her hand with a serious expression and looked at the person next to her.

Asmodeus, Mammon, Belial, and Beelzebub looked at the Thrush, and then—

"So lively and bustling, hahahahahahahahahaha!!"

The first to burst into laughter was Asmodeus, the Lord of Desire, who slapped his thigh and laughed wildly.

"No, no, I want to treasure this video in my most precious collection and watch it a hundred times every day, hahaha!"

"—It's best not to let him see it." Mammon's lips twitched, trying to suppress his smile, as he lowered his head and shrugged repeatedly.

"This kind of thing is best enjoyed on a small scale. Pfft, how much do you think Samael would pay to buy it?"

"Hehehehe, I think he would be more than happy to give up even half of his Ring of Wrath!"

Lucifer pointed at God and said, "Damn you, Lord! I'll beat you to a pulp and then take your place as the only God!"

Such extravagant words were something he never did, even when he first decided to fall from grace.

Although this is just a clone, and although these words were spoken by something controlling Lucifer—

But who cares? Let's just ask if that's Lucifer?

That's absolutely right! Jiahao's statement deserves to be sung to the very ends of the universe!

In a sense, this is an even darker piece of history than Lucifer being raped by Lilith!

Beelzebub was also laughing heartily, but he wasn't as arrogant as before; most of his attention was on ROO.

"How is it? Is it as advertised as described?" Tsuruga walked over to Him, ruffled the head of the lazy sheep Belial who was sleeping soundly beside him, and asked with interest.

"Yamm, Mot, Astarte, Resheph, Deber, Molech, Shalim..."

Beelzebub murmured the names of the gods, his expression slightly puzzled.

Without a doubt, this does indeed match what Tsurue said: this ROO is simply a combination of a bunch of divine remnants.

843>>>>

It's not just these Canaanite myths; there are also many divine remnants that even Beelzebub might not be able to name.

Some of them are even star gods and outer gods, far removed from human mythology.

If you ask whether it's a good thing, Beelzebub would say it is indeed a very good thing. Putting aside everything else, the sheer amount of these divine remnants is enormous.

If he were to consume these powerful remnants of divinity, it would be enough to allow him to extend his consciousness into more related worlds.

He could go back to being Baal, or something else, or even play Zeus.

But He always felt that something was wrong...

844

563. The hook is salty and the bait is straight; an old fly will take the bait.

Looking at Beelzebub, who was both eager and conflicted, Tsurugi felt a mixture of amusement and curiosity.

The main reason his bait was able to catch Beelzebub was because of its uniqueness.

Unlike the other six of the Seven Deadly Sins, Beelzebub was a completely pagan, and he possessed so few of the fallen angelic elements that he could rival Leviathan.

However, even in pagan versions, Leviathan mostly plays the role of a beast, while Beelzebub has many divine identities in pagan versions.

But Beelzebub is not Baal; he may be Baal, but he will not be Baal.

Similarly, Baal could evolve into Beelzebub, but he would not be Beelzebub, at least not here.

But if Beelzebub acquires enough pagan divinity, he can become a true Baal or other god in other worlds—

To be honest, Tsurugi doesn't really understand this theory and feeling.

Both Mammon and Asmodeus explained it, but this act of projecting the heavens is difficult to describe in words alone.

In the end, it was Belial who used a comparison to give Tsurugi a general understanding of Beelzebub's desires.

If everything in the universe is a game, then for mortals who live only a day, they can only play one game at a time. But for beings like them who project the heavens, they can log into accounts in many different games.

Assuming that the name Michael is the starting point of the account, then the 'Michael' in other worlds that exist with this name and elements are, in relation to the Sleepless One, his NPC accounts in different worlds after being managed by various local systems.

If they don't log in, they'll simply follow the original progression. But if they want, they can enter the game, log in, and start playing in a completely new world.

These different accounts were born in different worlds and developed in different ways. They are not necessarily the same as them, and sometimes the only connection is their names.

Such a weak connection is actually not enough to support them logging in, and they might not even be able to detect these things. Even the Ring Lords and Demon Kings in this ditch world who are highly similar to their settings would not be able to sense this place without Tsurugi's summoning.

However, they are not necessarily satisfied with their original accounts. Beelzebub was one such example—although the name of the Lord of the Flies has far more projections associated with him in countless worlds than Baal, he still preferred the existence of a god who was somewhat similar to himself.

Tsurugi will understand this feeling sooner or later; in fact, he is already very close to that day.

Once he has collected the last crown of arrogance, he will etch his existence into Hell, and the existence of the Crimson King will be projected into the heavens along with him!

Tsugumi was very curious and quite looking forward to it, but—

This absolutely won't stop Tsurugi from ruthlessly ripping off Beelzebub!

Beelzebub's premonition was indeed correct. The gods he sensed, even if they were only the Canaanite gods, almost every one of them contained rather 'terrible' divine elements.

Yamm is the lord of the rivers, but more importantly, he is the symbol of chaos, a god who was defeated in the war of kingship against Baal.

Mot is the god of death in the underworld, and he also symbolizes elements such as drought and desolation.

Astarte is relatively better. She is also a goddess with many different mythological derivatives, most famously associated with Inanna—but as the goddess of Venus and fertility, her less desirable aspect is her greater emphasis on lust and procreation.

And others include the Resheph and Deber, who bring heat and disease, the Molech, who is in charge of sacrificial rites, and the Shalim, who represents dusk.

Individually, most of these gods' divinity is flawless, but when all of them are brought together, it becomes very subtle—

Moreover, most of the remaining divine essence of other myths within ROO's body is like this...

The Yahweh, an outsider from one or more worlds, devoured these divinities by repeatedly defeating and consuming them. After becoming God from the Lord of Hosts, he discarded them and finally sealed them here.

Such divinity is so powerful and profound that even things abandoned by God, or things he dislikes and doesn't want, are unimaginably rich legacies for other beings!

Having already guessed this from the intelligence, Tsuruge exclaimed, "This is indeed a piece of unofficial history produced by God—the old god's farts are extraordinary!"

Therefore, Beelzebub simply could not refuse; he knew he would likely find it difficult to find such a concentrated pagan divinity associated with Him in any other world...

If he wanted to lean more towards Baal and become the 'god' he desired in other worlds instead of a demon king, he couldn't possibly give up these treasures.

844 >>

Seeing that Beelzebub had suppressed his doubts, Tsurugi felt immense pleasure.

He was already anticipating Beelzebub's expression after he learned the true nature of this rambling defense.

Hehe, damn it, compared to attacking Heaven, seeing these hellish guys break down is an irresistible treat for Tsurugi!

Hmm—but attacking Heaven is also important. In fact, Tsugumi's plan isn't just to trick the guys in Hell.
