"The fallen angels and the angels have reached an agreement, and a three-way meeting will be held soon. Everyone should prepare. I have a feeling that things are not that simple."
After skipping over the topic of Lynch, Sazex's expression turned serious. He then brought up the matter of the three-way peace talks. The angels, who had previously had communication barriers, suddenly compromised for some reason and expressed their willingness to negotiate. This abrupt change gave Sazex a very bad feeling.
After discussing other issues briefly, the group parted ways.
.
"I hope you don't mind if I borrow your castle for two days. Two years ago, I was active in your dungeon for those two days. I want to try to get more information from Lynch."
After the meeting, Seraph did not rush to leave. Instead, she spoke to Sazex alone, directly asking to borrow the Gremory family's castle!
"I will be going to the Fallen Angels' camp in the next couple of days to meet with the current Governor Azazel, the Watcher of the Son of God. He will be an important figure in our peace talks, and may even be able to completely bring him to our side. Moreover, he may be able to... I will leave Grefia behind. You can talk to her about any problems you may have."
Sazex nodded almost without hesitation. Compared to such trivial matters, he cared more about other important things. Right now, his biggest concern was the three-way talks between the fallen angels and the angels. The situation with the angels was still uncertain, but the current governor of the fallen angels, Azazel, gave Sazex a great deal of potential, especially the challenges Azazel had recently presented to him.
After briefly mentioning the importance of Azazel, Sazex agreed to Seraph's request. Of course, he wouldn't trust anyone else to use the Gremory family's eccentricities alone, so he left his most trusted people with him at the castle.
After receiving this answer, Seraph revealed a somewhat strange expression. She hadn't expected that the whole plan was exactly as Lynch had predicted!
--
"As expected, when it comes to playing games, you have to find bugs and cheat to level up quickly!"
Meanwhile, Lynch was engaged in a simple harvesting game in the Gremory family's underground dungeon. Although it was a one-sided harvesting game, Lynch was enjoying it immensely because in just half a day, his level had soared by five levels, and he had only killed a third of the people in the dungeon! After killing all the prisoners here, he might be able to directly reach the fifth rank!
"Lord Leviathan."
While Lynch was still excited, Seraph had already arrived at the Gremory family's castle. As soon as Gremory saw Seraph, she greeted her respectfully.
"No need for formalities, just call me Seraph. You should have received Sazex's message by now, so I might need you to prepare some things for me tonight. The Gremory family's wines are renowned."
"I know what to do."
Seraph didn't immediately go to Lynch. Instead, she whispered something to Grefia, giving her a meaningful smile. Grefia had already received Sazex's instructions through special means and knew that she needed to cooperate with Seraph to squeeze the remaining value out of Lynch. Naturally, she smiled and nodded, then stepped back to prepare the tools Seraph needed.
Chapter 230 282
After returning to the Lesser Hell Plane, Seraph quickly brought back good news: Lynch was finally able to enter the Lesser Hell Plane under Rias's guidance.
"Hello, I didn't expect someone who dares to trade with the entire sub-hell plane to be so young. Hello, I am Grayfia Lucifer, one of Lord Lucifer's servants. Please follow me."
Led by Rias, Lynch entered the sealed-off sub-hell dimension without any obstacles and soon met his target, Grayfia.
Dressed in a maid outfit, with silver braids, Grayfia smiled and glanced at Lin Qi. After a slight sigh, she briefly introduced herself. Grayfia was a very serious person and did not like to be told that she was Lucifer Sazex's wife during work hours.
After saying that, Grefia led Lynch and Rias into an ancient castle, which was the Gremory family's castle. However, Lynch did not come to visit the Gremory family's castle this time, but instead, under Grefia's guidance, entered the castle's underground prison!
"Damn Gremory! You'll all die a horrible death!"
"Let me out! I'm..."
"You damned traitors! The apostles and the supreme god will not let you get away with this!"
……
Upon entering the underground cell, a cacophony of wailing and howling immediately erupted. Gurefia, however, seemed oblivious, saying something to Lin Qi before standing at the door with no intention of going in.
"Most of these people are members of the demon family who disagree with our decisions. Because most of them have special identities, they have been imprisoned here. Since you want them, they are all yours. Consider it advance payment for the information you provided."
The reason Lynch was able to enter the Gremory family's castle prison under Grefia's guidance was simple: Seraph, in exchange for Lynch providing precise intelligence about a new dimensional proof, stipulated that Lynch needed a group of demon prisoners, the stronger the better. Seraph didn't come because she used obtaining this dimensional proof as an excuse to carry out her own mission.
With Rias's intervention, the Gremory family paid for the prisoners' expenses, and Gremory's head butler, Grefia, naturally received them personally.
Lin Qi's purpose in coming here was simple: to use these imprisoned demons to increase his level. Although these demons were imprisoned, they still belonged to the forces of Hell, and honorable kills by the forces of Hell would yield double the rewards. After making a deal with the lesser hellish plane, Lin Qi came up with this lazy way.
"It was a pleasure working with you, and I believe we will have even more pleasant collaborations in the future."
Lin Qi smiled politely at Gurefia, said something meaningful, and then picked up his dagger and walked into the cell.
Soon, screams and cries of terror echoed from the cell. Each of the demons imprisoned here had their magic power sealed and their movements restricted by special chains. For Lin Qi, killing them was as simple as wielding a knife, as easy as harvesting crops.
It has to be said that these prisoners who could be imprisoned in his castle by the active Demon King Lucifer were either of special status or powerful strength. Each of them would bring Lin Qi a huge amount of experience points and kill points! The only pity was that these demons had been almost completely looted after being imprisoned. None of them dropped any equipment, but they did drop a lot of special skill books. However, Lin Qi could not use most of them. Many of the demons' skills were restricted by race or bloodline, so they were of no use to Lin Qi. He threw them all on the trading platform to exchange for the power of the main god.
Lin Qi discovered that the special items section on the trading platform contained a considerable amount of random items, including fragments of divine power, crystals of divine power, and even special items like Tears of Repentance used to unseal the Dark Bible! However, either the prices were too high for Lin Qi to afford, or they were snapped up as soon as they appeared, giving Lin Qi no chance to make a purchase!
However, the appearance of a series of special items on the trading platform forced Lin Qi to start using this shady trading system! After all, this was the way to obtain special items! This once again proved the adage, "If you don't have money, you can't play," as wealthy players with abundant divine power could simply use money to buy themselves a set of equipment and skills!
Just as Lynch was reaping the benefits of these hellish forces, in the conference room of the four Demon Kings, Seraph brought out a brand new Dimensional War and placed it on the table.
"Lin Qi's information was indeed correct. According to his information, I obtained this Dimensional Proof with almost no effort. He even opened the spatial portal. He probably has a lot of similar information in his possession. Moreover, he also subtly expressed his willingness to know where there are fragments of divinity."
After returning from Amida Plain, Seraph convened a Demon King meeting with the Dimensional Proof and attributed all the credit to Lynch. She then continued speaking to the crowd as Lynch had instructed.
The news of the godhood fragment immediately plunged the other three great demon kings into a brief silence. At their level of strength, there were not many ways to advance to the next level, and becoming a god was one of them. Lin Qi's arrival actually touched a chord in their hearts, because Lin Qi's method could also rapidly improve their strength!
Lynch's intention in having Seraflati do this was clearly malicious. Only when more people embark on the path to godhood could the waters be muddied, allowing Lynch to fish in troubled waters!
"The transaction of Dimensional Proofs can continue. As long as Lynch's needs aren't too excessive, we can satisfy him. As for the Godhood Fragments... I advise you not to even consider it. It's a thorny and bumpy road, and you could easily die halfway through."
While everyone remained silent, Sazex spoke first, making the decision for everyone and warning them about the dangers of the path to godhood. Sazex also shared his opinion on Lynch, clearly showing that he did not see Lynch as a good person.
"Similarly, I am not optimistic about Lin Qi's future prospects. Even if he becomes a true god, once the main god discovers his existence, the best outcome will only be becoming an apostle. However, the more likely outcome is that he will be directly killed by the main god. The main god candidates hate gods like Lin Qi who secretly develop their power on their own. For them, Lin Qi's existence is too dangerous, and the competition for the position of main god candidate is also extremely fierce and cruel."
Chapter 231 284
"Ding, kill... gained experience points... gained kill points... gained the power of the main god..."
"Ding! Your level has been upgraded to Tier 4, Level 8, and you have gained 16 free attribute points."
"Potential slightly awakened, gain an additional 2% HP."
Lin Qi killed for an entire afternoon, his hands aching from killing, and he had only managed to kill half of the prisoners. The high-ranking demons imprisoned in the Gremory family's underground cell were all of extraordinary backgrounds. At their level, even if they didn't fight back, it would take them a long time to kill, especially those with special talents like the Phoenix family, who were even more difficult to kill.
This gave Lin Qi a chance to test his various skills. He used a series of skills, such as Holy Demon Touch, God-Slaying Flame, and Blood-Burning Berserker, to improve his proficiency on these living targets that wouldn't die for a long time.
For every demon that is equivalent to an elite or a mini-boss that is killed, Lin Qi will gain a huge amount of experience points, and it is doubled. Naturally, his level will rise very quickly. If Lin Qi were to hunt normally for half a year, he would probably reach the same level as he does now.
After reaching level 8 of the fourth tier, Lin Qi had accumulated nearly 200 free attribute points! This was mainly because the Philosopher's Stone's awakening skill would be triggered every time he leveled up, and most of the time it would increase extra free attribute points, with only a few exceptions where it would increase a specific attribute. It has to be said that the Philosopher's Stone truly deserves to be the highest achievement of humanity's forbidden experiments.
This time, however, Lin Qi did not rush to use his attribute points. Instead, he left them idle for future use. Lin Qi's ambition was not just to be a violent damage dealer with only one strike.
After nightfall, Seraph entered the underground cell. Gurefia stood at the cell door the whole time, watching Lynch kill the prisoners. She didn't want anyone here to escape from the Gremory family's cell.
Seraphia and Gurefia nodded, and with slight smiles, they said to Lynch, "Let's rest for a bit. Let's talk about the next deal. We're very interested in the other information you have about Dimensional Proofs and Divine Fragments."
A faint smile appeared on Lynch's lips. Adhering to the principle of balancing work and rest, he didn't waste any words and turned to walk out of the cell. Led by Gurefia, the three of them soon appeared in the Gremory family's reception hall, where dinner had already been prepared by the other servants of the Gremory family.
“The previous cooperation was very pleasant, and we both got what we wanted. We should start the third transaction. I know you still have information about the Dimensional Proof. Tell me, what do you want?”
After dinner was served, all the servants withdrew, leaving only Seraph sitting opposite Lynch, while Gurefia stood behind Lynch like a dutiful maid and housekeeper; given her status, there was nothing she couldn't know.
After only three people remained in the hall, Seraph spoke frankly. Gurefia had obviously learned the general outline of the whole incident through Sazex and knew exactly what Seraph and the others wanted to get from Lynch, so she was not surprised at all.
"For me, I have already made enough profit here. Continuing to trade would only take more risks, so after this transaction is completed, our trading will end here."
Lin Qi ate his meal with elegance and calmly gave his answer. To the surprise of Gurefia, who was standing behind Lin Qi, Lin Qi, who had already cooperated happily twice in the Lesser Hell Plane, did not intend to continue the transaction!
“I don’t believe you’ll give up so easily. That’s not the kind of person who would make a deal with the devil. It seems our offers are no longer enough to sway you. No rush, we still have time. We can talk slowly. Let’s try this wine first. This is the Gremory family’s Demon Blood Wine. You can’t get your hands on it anywhere else.”
Although Gurefia was puzzled, she did not interrupt, but stood obediently behind the two like a servant, listening silently.
Seraph, on the other hand, played the role of an excellent diplomat to the fullest. He squinted at Lin Qi with a strange smile. After seeing through Lin Qi's intentions, he did not continue on the topic. Instead, he raised the glass of red wine in front of him, which was as thick as blood, and gestured to Lin Qi to take a small sip, revealing a look of intoxication.
“It is indeed good wine, but drinking alone is no fun. I know you can represent Lord Lucifer, please sit down, we can talk while we drink.”
Lin Qi downed the red wine in front of him in one gulp. When Gurefia came to pour him a second glass, he gestured for her to sit to his side. He then ignored Gurefia's expression and began to sip the second glass of red wine that Gurefia had filled.
After hesitating for a moment, Gurefia finally sat down diagonally to Lynch's side with Seraphim's nod, poured herself a glass of Demon Blood Wine, and began to sip it.
"To be honest, there are still transactions, but I don't think you can afford the compensation."
Gurefia started drinking, and only then did Lynch reveal a strange smile, a teasing smile directed at Seraphim and Gurefia.
"As long as you dare to ask, we can certainly pay the fee."
When Seraph heard Lynch say that, she also showed a mocking smile, as if she was pleased to have exposed Lynch's trick. Even Gurefia thought that Lynch was just waiting for the right price to go up.
"Let's have a drink first."
Lin Qi, however, was not in a hurry at all. He raised his wine glass again, said something to the two of them, and then began to taste the Demon Blood Wine. It must be said that the Demon Blood Wine specially brewed by the Gremory family was quite perfect.
"Now can you tell me about your compensation?"
Seraphia and Gurefia exchanged a glance, and then, as if by unspoken agreement, they drank the Demon Blood Wine in their hands as if it were water. Seraphia continued to ask questions.
"If I said I wanted both of you, would you give them to me?"
Lin Qi glanced at the two of them, his smile becoming even more mocking and sarcastic, and gave his answer directly. As expected, Gurefia's face turned cold.
"Hehe, you have quite the appetite, but if what you offer can impress me, then of course there's no problem."
Before Grefia could speak, Seraph spoke first, saying that nothing is off-limits for trade. That's just how the world is; nothing is off-limits for trade. The only reason something isn't tradeable is because your bargaining chips aren't strong enough.
"I wonder if an opportunity that allows you or another demon king to bypass the intervention of the main god and successfully become a candidate for the main god is enough."
"what?!"
When Lynch revealed his offer, Seraphim and Gurefia both gasped in surprise!
This time, Seraph wasn't putting on an act; she was genuinely shocked. Both she and Sazex were finding it difficult to advance further in strength. It wasn't that they couldn't, but rather that they were unwilling. Once they advanced to the sixth rank, they would awaken the power of rules, thus coming into the sight of the main god. The main god would send an invitation, asking them to become his apostle. It wasn't that they couldn't refuse, but refusing would lead to a very troublesome situation.
Moreover, in smaller dimensional planes like theirs, if there are too many beings exceeding the sixth rank, it will arouse the resentment of the upper realm, which will often find a reason or excuse to reduce their numbers. This is why the current sub-hell planes are in such a terrible state, and it is also why Seraph and another demon king are stuck at the fifth rank, level nine and can no longer advance to the next level.
But this doesn't mean they don't want to climb higher; they just lack the means. And now Lin Qi claims he has a way to bypass the God's interference and become a candidate for the God! This is practically a chance to rise to the top in one step!
If Lynch had brought up the importance of this opportunity in a deal with Seraph earlier, he might not have needed to go through so much trouble; Seraph would have simply given in!
Chapter 232 285
"I wonder if an opportunity that allows you or another demon king to bypass the intervention of the main god and successfully become a candidate for the main god is enough."
"what?!"
As if he had drunk too much Demon Blood Wine, Lin Qi, with a slightly tipsy expression and a teasing smile, revealed his chips. When Lin Qi revealed his chips, Seraphia and Gurefia both exclaimed in surprise!
This time, Seraph wasn't putting on an act; she was genuinely shocked. Both she and Sazex were finding it difficult to advance further in strength. It wasn't that they couldn't, but rather that they were unwilling. Once they advanced to the sixth rank, they would awaken the power of rules, thus coming into the sight of the main god.
