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

But this time, he had ignited the Heavenly Fire within his body beforehand, and the frozen time beneath the white flames floating before his eyes did not impede his movements.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle~~~~

The asphalt dripped onto the ground, making a sizzling sound.

The wind was much clearer and colder than before, but for some reason, Tsurugi felt that the aura was not like the Lucifer he knew.

He didn't turn around, but he felt as if invisible tentacles were wrapped around him from behind.

“John, John Constantine…”

Malicious, mocking, and playful voices echoed in the empty space.

"I've come to collect your soul. In hell, I've prepared an entire theme for you—"

The invisible sound paused for a moment.

In the next instant, a golden light shone forth simultaneously, along with an ambiguous purple halo, bringing with it two rulers of hell.

Mammon and Asmodeus

The moment the three demon kings of hell met, they realized they had been tricked!

This audacious mortal sold his soul to three demon kings, hoping to use their conflict to prolong his life!

The fact that they were being played by mortals angered them, but what they understood even more clearly was—

This was definitely not something he did alone!

The three demon kings of hell all turned their unfriendly gazes towards Tsurugi, who dropped the pretense and spread his hands, beaming with delight.

"That's right, you three, I am the mastermind!"

"It's you!" Asmodeus exclaimed.

"How about that? Aren't you surprised?" Tsugumi grinned.

"I have an even bigger surprise for my dear devilish family!"

Having transmigrated, my only purpose is to kill, kill, kill! : 84. The Deal with the King of Wrath

The Earl of Hell, a demon noble family, the Goetia family holds an incomparably prominent and prestigious position in Hell.

They can do almost anything in hell, where identity brings absolute freedom in the realm of manifesting and punishing evil.

But this freedom absolutely does not include provoking the Demon Lord.

"You insignificant insect, how dare you deceive the great Lord of Hell?!"

In the trembling air, in that invisible and intangible terror, echoed the wrath of hell.

Mammon stared at him expressionlessly, realizing that this had become a mess.

Constantine would inevitably use this demand to blackmail Mammon into giving up his soul, but Mammon could not simply back down, as it concerned the dignity of the Lord and the rules of Hell.

The contract has been signed, so they are obligated to receive what is stipulated in it. Violating the agreement would be a huge blow to both their dignity and their power.

Even if you win, all you get is the soul of a scumbag.

This is a losing proposition, an absolute loss!

Asmodeus frowned as he looked at the mortal he had bestowed with a noble status—no, he could no longer be called a mortal, for he was a saint favored by God.

His suspicions and doubts weren't about anything else, but rather whether this was yet another trick played by Heaven.

After all, if the person in front of them reveals his saintly demeanor, even if these demon kings could crush him, they would never act rashly.

However, Tsurugi chose to use her identity as a demon noble.

Tsuruga did not draw his Saint character card; at this moment, he only used his Demon Noble character card.

After all, the things that need to be done next are not suitable for the intervention of the power of Heaven.

His meaning was understood by the three lords of hell.

He seemed to want this matter to remain confined to the interior of Hell, and to be resolved merely as a problem among the demons of Hell.

Thus, the three ring lords, who had been somewhat restrained just moments before, unleashed a powerful surge of magical pressure.

He simultaneously bore the pressure from three demon kings, transforming into his true form as a demon nobleman. Under the oppressive force of this magic and majesty, even the television head gradually cracked.

"No need to rush, Lord of Hell."

Tsugumi, bearing this pressure and the soul-wrenching pain of this oppression, spoke.

“John Constantine’s soul is insignificant. I can offer you all terms that will satisfy you—especially you, Lord of Hell.”

The formless and intangible entity paused its movements, seemingly curious as to what kind of conditions this unique being, Tsurugi, would offer.

“I want to make a deal with you, Lord Lucifer.”

Tsurugi opened her mouth

but--

No one spoke, and the atmosphere seemed to fall into an awkward silence.

"Pfft, hahahahaha!"

Asmodeus couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Mammon tilted his head and shrugged. After a brief silence, the formless and intangible being erupted in extreme rage.

"Sinner, how dare you despise me like that! I will tear your soul into a thousand pieces and then devour you!!!"

"Aren't you the Lord of Hell?" Tsugumi blinked, her face full of innocence.

"The lord of hell is Satan, is Lucifer... that's right."

"I am Samael!!!"

This time, the rage finally had substance and presence. Right before Tsurugi's eyes, an enraged red dragon roared forth, spewing forth hellish flames, terrifying and ferocious.

Tsurugi fell silent. He glanced down at Constantine, who was on the verge of death, and cursed inwardly at the absurdity of the plot.

Wasn't it supposed to be Lucifer making the deal with him in the movie? And a First Fallen in the comics too? How come it's Samael in my case!

Could it be based on the TV series "Lucifer"? Is Samael Lucifer's old name in heaven?

Caw! I don't understand, I just don't get it!

However, the only thing Tsurugi is certain of now is that he seems to have offended the Ring Lord Demon King of the Ring of Wrath.

The red dragon, breathing out its breath, tore apart the world. Across another world, Dongjiang smelled the stench of sulfur and coke, and saw a cracked plain flowing with lava.

The red dragon formed from black flames was ferocious and twisted. It did not make a move, but merely tore open the membrane between the Rage Ring and reality. The immense and direct terrifying heat and pressure made Tsurugi's whole body burn!

The flames of hell scorched his body and soul, and excruciating pain spread everywhere, but Tsurugi was absolutely not going to back down.

Or to put it another way—you're being ungrateful. You're not even Lucifer who wants to do business with me, so why should I bother with you?

"Stop fucking right now, or I'll tear you apart!"

"Who do you think you are, spouting such nonsense?" Samael roared.

After cutting off his character card, Tsurugi squawked and took out the Thorn Crown he had taken from Teacher Daye and put it on his head. In an instant, this ordinary crown, which had no special stats whatsoever, made the hellfire disappear from his body as if mice had seen a cat.

"I'm Dongjiang from Paradise! Ever heard of me? You can even call me 'brother'!!"

Dongjiang drew his horn, and Asmodeus and Mammon immediately withdrew their imposing presence.

Samael still stubbornly insisted

"What a ghost! Hell on my land!!!"

"You're talking to me about territory, huh? Everyone call their own men, I'll sweep through two streets first, then plant a flag before I talk to you!!!"

Dongjiang immediately put the horn in his mouth, as if he was about to blow it.

"Hey! He's not with you, why are you protecting him?!"

Samael's tone softened slightly, but he still pointed at Constantine with displeasure.

"So what if you're not with me? I like to protect you! Listen to me, if you keep this up, you'll lose all face. I'll call my boss right now to collect the debt, and I'll stomp on your head and shit on you, Satan!!!" Dongjiang said, raising her middle finger.

Damn it! While I'm still working at the branch office, I'll handle this internally. Don't force me to take this to the central government!

Tsurugi's threat was quite effective; the flames subsided, and the red dragon formed from the black flames disappeared, but the rift leading to the Ring of Wrath remained unbroken.

"Don't think I'm afraid of you!" Samael, his face a mask of black fury, spat out hellfire and gritted his teeth.

"Even if you are a saint, even if Michael is protecting you—you cannot humiliate the ruler of hell like this!"

The branch office executives warned the manager parachuted in from headquarters that he couldn't do whatever he wanted, that this was still their territory—or something to that effect.

Moreover, Dongjiang really had no intention of ruining things, since he was there to do business, and besides, he was in the wrong this time.

After all, he is still quite reasonable, and to be honest, the senior executives of the Hell branch were also senior executives of the head office before.

In terms of circumstances, Dongjiang's situation is similar to theirs, the only difference being that he has positions in both the head office and branch offices, and receives an additional salary.

“I don’t want to humiliate you. I was originally planning to negotiate a contract and deal with Satan.”

Tsugumi dusted off the ashes and said irritably.

"Who would have known that it was you who came to take him away? Didn't they all say that Lucifer came to take him away?"

“Because Lucifer has had his fill,” Mammon suddenly said.

“You tricked Gabriel into going to hell to atone for his sins, and Lucifer was very happy to humiliate Him, so he no longer cares about John Constantine’s soul and simply temporarily relinquished his position as Satan.”

"Just for that reason?" Tsugumi's eyes twitched.

"What else could it be?" Asmodeus crossed his arms, a look of amusement on his face.

Yes, the pleasure of humiliating an old rival is much more interesting than dragging a scumbag down to hell, so in the end, this is still the butterfly effect caused by Tsugumi's own actions!

So I can't see Lucifer here? I can't complete my own time loop?

No, how could that be!

Tsugumi still has a trump card!

"Hey, you three, don't you want to trick Lucifer and make a fool of himself?"

Tsugumi raised her hand and uttered words that would be considered utterly treasonous even in hell.

Samael quieted down, his endless rage subsiding, his hellfire slightly extinguished, and he said softly.
