I traverse America, using holy light to quell American terror!

The cold voice slowly spread through the palace.

The blood and gore from the exploded demon's head suddenly stopped.

It was as if they were imprisoned in place by an invisible force.

Li Yuan's gaze narrowed slightly as he realized that the entire space seemed to have frozen.

Everything around seemed to have been brought to a standstill by an invisible hand.

The servants and fraternity members all stood frozen in place.

His expression froze between astonishment and bewilderment.

Time stood still at this moment, except for him, who remained within the flow of time.

Li Yuan slowly turned around and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

All that could be seen was the body abandoned by the snake-headed demon.

At this moment, it stood perfectly intact beside the throne.

Seeing Li Yuan looking at it, a sinister smile appeared on the demon's ugly snake face.

"That's really surprising."

As he sighed, he slowly walked down the steps.

The once bright and clean ground was trampled upon by it.

It oozed out a layer of thick, asphalt-like black liquid, hissing and emitting white smoke with a sulfurous smell.

Li Yuan stared at the ever-spreading black patch, his pupils suddenly contracting.

Time stopped, feet stepped on asphalt, and coincidentally, it was even wearing a white suit. It seems... it must be Dr. Sa...

Li Yuan watched as Satan slowly approached, cold sweat pouring down his face, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have acted impulsively and gone to hell to hunt down demons!"

Satan slowly approached Li Yuan, scrutinizing him with interest, and said with a light laugh:

"An interesting soul, you are more captivating than Constantine's."

He slowly walked halfway around Li Yuan, a hint of surprise flashing in his dark eyes:

"I cannot see through you, but you are not a believer of the One in the Kingdom of Heaven."

Li Yuan gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressing the fear surging within him, and said in a deep voice:

"I am not a believer in God; my power comes from a far more distant place."

Suddenly, Satan brought his head closer and took a deep sniff.

"It's truly intoxicating."

He murmured something, gently closed his eyes, and when he opened them again...

A playful glint still lingered in his eyes:

"I have an ancient agreement with that being in heaven."

Li Yuan nodded slowly; he had heard of this rumor.

Seeing that he understood, Satan nodded slightly.

His calm tone carried an irresistible allure:

"And your appearance gave me a chance to overturn the game."

Kid, how about joining forces with me?

I will not give you false salvation; I will set you truly free.

Let your soul no longer be controlled by anyone.

Upon hearing that Satan hadn't come to settle scores with him, Li Yuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

On the surface, he remained calm and composed, but inwardly he couldn't help but complain:

"The Lord of Hell, offering such a meager reward? The Naaru are far more generous."

However, Li Yuan was slightly tempted at that moment.

After all, that's hell!

The various demon kings in hell are not a unified force.

War is constantly taking place there.

If he manages to safely enter hell

There's no fear of running out of monsters to farm.

But the thought of those bizarre creatures in hell...

There are also environments with sulfurous magma and rampant toxic gases.

Li Yuan still had second thoughts, thinking to himself:

"The human world is still a little better..."

A fleeting wavering crossed Li Yuan's eyes.

He was seen through by Satan, and he understood people's hearts perfectly.

He patiently explained to Li Yuan:

"Kid, don't let the colors in front of you blind you."

Only eternity is something truly desirable.

He squinted and said in a seductive tone:

"And in hell, there is freedom and pleasure beyond your imagination."

Li Yuan, tempted by Satan, was indeed beginning to waver.

After all, becoming powerful and possessing the ability to live forever is something most people yearn for.

It's hard not to be tempted by this.

Li Yuan muttered to himself:

"Should I just give in? With the Holy Light around, I shouldn't turn into a weirdo, right?"

After hesitating for a moment, Li Yuan looked up at Satan and tentatively asked:

"Then how can you guarantee that I will get what you promised?"

"A contract? We just need to sign one contract."

"Young man, you must understand that once a contract is made, even the gods cannot disobey it, and I am no exception!"

Seeing that Li Yuan was finally showing some signs of wanting to join, Satan nodded in satisfaction.

However, Li Yuan, who was initially tempted, immediately sobered up upon hearing the word "contract."

He knew in his heart that a contract with hell was not something to be signed easily!

For example, the famous King Solomon and Faust,

Or perhaps it's Ghost Rider, whom Li Yuan is familiar with, and Kevin Lomax.

They were all tempted by the devil and signed a soul contract.

Ultimately, this leads to the soul no longer belonging to oneself, thus suffering torment from hell.

Satan was somewhat surprised to see Li Yuan's eyes gradually become clearer.

However, a hint of admiration appeared on his face.

"I'm growing to admire you more and more, if it weren't for the rules."

I really want to take you back to hell right now.

Li Yuan stared at Satan's eyes, as if he were looking at prey.

He felt a chill run down his spine and forced a dry laugh, saying:

"Lord of Hell, thank you for your kind words."

But my soul has already joined the Holy Light Legion.

I'm afraid I can't accept your kindness.

There's no other way; if you can't beat them, you have to resort to rallying support and finding powerful backers.

Since Satan cannot see through his own origins...

That means his rank should not be higher than Narugao's.

Li Yuan paused for a moment, then continued:

"My refusal today is not out of an intention to be your enemy; we can..."

The words Li Yuan was about to utter suddenly caught in his throat.

He was shocked to find that Satan in front of him was completely still, frozen in place!

The whole world seemed to have been put on pause again.

The flowing asphalt solidified on the ground, sulfur fumes hung in the air, and the air itself ceased to move.

Li Yuan stood frozen in place, his breath stopped, only his eyeballs could still move slightly.

His mouth remained slightly open as he spoke.

"Holy crap, no way, the only thing here that can freeze Satan is..."

"Creak—"

As the sound of the door hinges turning rang out,

The sound of leather shoes stepping on the marble floor came slowly from behind Li Yuan.

A moment later, the sound of footsteps came from behind Li Yuan.

With a soft "snap",

Li Yuan felt a light pat on his back.

The next second, he regained control of his body.

Li Yuan stumbled and quickly stood up, looking behind him.

He saw a man with long, flowing hair, wearing a black suit, looking at him with a smile.

Li Yuan remembered what the man looked like; he was actually the guard captain whom Li Yuan had just chased away!

The man looked at Li Yuan and chuckled softly.

Then he slowly opened his mouth and said in a gentle tone:

"Don't be afraid, child, I won't hurt you."

Seeing that Li Yuan was still in a daze, the man smiled and explained:

"The owner of this body has the remnant soul of an angel sleeping within him. I may borrow it for a while."

Li Yuan nodded blankly, inwardly thinking:

"Thank goodness I didn't make a pact with Satan, otherwise I would have been exterminated."
