Chapter 228: #228 - Chapter 372-373 [Truce Agreement] (Part 2)

“Besides the designated envoys, all other angels and demons are prohibited from setting foot in that special domain during this period.”

“Gradually, this agreement has become a convention, even though it seems like a mere formality. However, both negotiating parties have tacitly adhered to it and have been trying to maintain it.”

“Because once one party actively breaks the [Truce Agreement], it means that the ensuing war will escalate directly from ‘minor skirmishes’ to an all-out war of mutual destruction!!”

“Neither the [Heaven] side nor the [Hell] side actually wants to see such an outcome…”

“Especially [Hell]. After [Lord of Hell] Lucifer ceased to be [Satan], the [Hell Faction] was divided among several [Hell Lords], including my father.”

“They have been constantly fighting among themselves, and most of the [Hell Lords] are unwilling to fight [Heaven] to the death!”

“This is the fundamental reason why the [Truce Agreement] has been able to continue…”

“It's just that I can't figure out yet, if my father is really involved, what exactly does he want to use those silver coin bullets for?”

In Damon Hellstorm's opinion, although these bullets with the power of curses can injure angels, they don't seem powerful enough to kill the [Seraphim]-level envoys who come to participate in the [Truce Agreement]?

However, even if they could really kill a [Seraphim], the [Hell Faction] would not be able to gain an overwhelming advantage in the war because of it.

But just as Karl had said to him in the prison cell before.

This incident happened so close to the [Truce Agreement] that it absolutely cannot be explained by a simple "coincidence."

Moreover, with his father's cunning nature, he would never risk a full-scale war with [Heaven], or even being backstabbed by other [Hell Lords], to intervene in this matter without a huge lure of profit!

So that means...

Besides the information that is currently on the surface, there seems to be a shocking and enormous conspiracy hidden behind this incident.

Damn it!!

Damon Hellstorm rubbed his temples with a headache. This incident was obviously far more complex and serious than he had previously guessed.

After thinking about it, Damon Hellstorm, who still had no clue, decided to report the current situation to Karl first, and then let the other party decide the next course of action for the three of them.

There's no way around it, who told him that he is still in the stage of "atoning for his sins"!

If he cannot maximize his "value" and gain the approval of Karl, this "sugar daddy."

Then he and his sister will never be able to completely escape the imprisonment of the Holy See.

And "asking for instructions and reporting more" can not only highlight respect for the sugar daddy, but also increase mutual trust, which is the best way to avoid detours!

The call connected, speakerphone on…

Damon Hellstorm first explained everything that had just happened in detail.

It's not that he wanted to waste his breath, but some things, even if he didn't say them, Frank and Logan Howlett would probably report to Karl afterward.

That might create unnecessary suspicion instead.

So, what else could he do?

Finally, Damon Hellstorm tentatively asked on the phone:

“Mr. Mala, according to the information recorded in the book, the final destination of the dwarf blacksmith from [Nidavellir] is in the [Popocatépetl Volcano] within [Mexico].”

“Should we just arrest that dwarf blacksmith in the next step? This way, even if Necrodamus and Marduk Kurios are really plotting something in secret, we can completely cut off their plan!!”

At present, before figuring out the enemy's true intentions, this approach is obviously the most prudent.

At least that's what Damon Hellstorm thinks.

However.

Karl on the other end of the phone seemed to have already thought of a countermeasure, and faintly instructed:

“No, don't disturb that dwarf blacksmith for now. Just monitor him in secret... Then let that demon send the silver bullet to Necrodamus and the others.”

“Huh?!”

Damon Hellstorm asked with a dumbfounded expression: “Sir, the reason why they went to great lengths to issue a bounty in [Sulfur Harbor] was to take back the lost silver bullet from us. Why are you still taking the initiative to send it back to them?”

If the order not to disturb the dwarf blacksmith for the time being can be understood as Karl wanting to "cast a long line to catch a big fish" and take the opportunity to find out the enemy's true intentions.

Then the operation of actively returning the silver bullet is really a bit confusing to Damon Hellstorm?

“Just follow the order.”

A meaningful voice came from the other end of the phone, and then the phone was hung up directly.

“Ah, this…”

Damon Hellstorm was stunned at first, but then he immediately realized that this was likely a test for him from Karl.

So he pinched his chin and fell into deep thought again.

Start thinking about Karl's true intentions in doing so...

According to common sense, when this young ruler discovers a conspiracy jointly planned by Necrodamus and Marduk Kurios that may endanger the earth and humanity, the first thing he should consider is how to avoid or prevent this crisis from happening, right?

And at present, before the enemy's final plan is implemented, arresting the dwarf blacksmith is undoubtedly the simplest and most efficient way.

But not only does the other party not do this, but he also goes against the grain and actively returns the silver bullet to the enemy?

What exactly does he want to do?

Although Damon Hellstorm had only met Karl once before, the latter left an extremely deep impression on him.

Wise, powerful, domineering, and playing by his own rules...

So in his opinion, Karl would never act aimlessly.

There must be some factors behind this that he has not yet seen through.

It is even very likely that this young ruler has already discerned the enemy's true intentions!

Wait a minute?

Suddenly, Damon Hellstorm recalled what Karl had said to him in the prison cell before, and an astonishing idea flashed through his mind like a white horse passing through a crack.

Could this man be planning to take advantage of this crisis to plot against one of the forces in [Heaven] or [Hell]?

Or... does he want both?!

Hiss——

Isn't Mr. Mala's courage really that big?

Damon Hellstorm was a little frightened by his own idea.

Before being imprisoned by the Holy See, he had personally seen many ambitious humans.

But never has anyone made him feel so frightened like Karl!

However, when his eyes inadvertently swept over the casual and relaxed expressions on the faces of Frank and Logan Howlett, he suddenly felt that it was highly likely that Karl wanted to take the opportunity to plot against [Heaven] and [Hell].

Although this approach is very dangerous.

But as the saying goes—opportunities and risks coexist, the greater the risk, the higher the return!

And whether or not one can seize the opportunity is mostly directly related to whether the behind-the-scenes operator's reaction is sensitive enough and his mind is bright enough.

If this man has really discerned the enemy's intentions, then this matter may be...

Thinking of this, Damon Hellstorm suddenly became a little excited.

Because he vaguely sensed a chance to avenge his scumbag father, Marduk Kurios?

And this opportunity is obviously with the "sugar daddy" Karl!

Damon Hellstorm quickly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and after completely sorting out his thoughts, he re-examined the two decisions that Karl had just made, and immediately had different interpretations.

The seemingly unreasonable and conventional behavior has also become traceable!

He picked up the deformed silver bullet with two fingers and looked at it carefully in front of his eyes.

The most ⊥new⊥small⊥say⊥in⊥six⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥bar⊥⊥first⊥release!

If a silver bullet cast from a single silver coin cannot harm the highest-ranking [Seraphim].

Then what if thirty silver coins are all gathered together to create an ultimate weapon?

What will be the result?

And... will its curse effect also work on fallen angels?

As things have developed to this point, Damon Hellstorm's enthusiasm has been completely mobilized.

And he is very curious, will the subsequent development of the situation really develop as the "sugar daddy" expected?

After a moment of silence, Damon Hellstorm, who had made up his mind, stepped forward to Edward and slowly opened his mouth and said:

“My old friend, you now have a chance to atone for your sins…”

A few minutes later.

Edward left the bookstore in a daze, clutching the deformed silver bullet, and his figure quickly disappeared into the endless stream of people.

“Are you sure that he won’t betray us just by doodling on his chest?” Frank turned to look at Damon Hellstorm, with a suspicious look on his face.

The latter nodded very confidently, “Don’t worry, what he just signed with me was a [Soul Contract]. If he reveals a little bit of what he shouldn’t say to others, his soul will immediately suffer the backlash of the curse and be reduced to ashes!”

“Moreover, there is another benefit to having him send the silver bullet back, and that is that it can appropriately reduce the vigilance of that demigoddess and human black wizard, thereby exposing more flaws…”

Taking out his phone and looking at the time, Damon Hellstorm said with a look of eagerness:

“Alright gentlemen, next we should also set off for [Popocatépetl Volcano]!”

…………

……

An abandoned factory outside of [Mexico City] that no one cares about.

Two black SUVs sped all the way, stirring up dust all over the sky.

Necrodamus, who had been waiting at the factory gate for a long time, greeted him respectfully when he saw a burly middle-aged man walking out of the car.

“Honorable Lord Bruce, I am very glad that you can come in person. It is my honor to be able to see you…”

“Necrodamus, I can’t stay here for too long, so please put away the polite words quickly.”

Bruce, who was possessed by the agent, showed a look of displeasure on his face, “The [Truce Agreement] is imminent. How is the matter that I told you about before?”

“I think you should be clear that if you delay [Satan]’s plan, not only will you not get what you want, but your soul will be sent to hell to receive the most severe punishment!!”

“Of course.”

Necrodamus was not flustered at all, and replied with a normal expression: “Please rest assured, sir, I am now fully confident… And the reason why I invited you here today is also to show you in advance the results I have achieved.”

While speaking, he had already slowly pulled open the warehouse door, and in front of him, he saw more than a dozen angelic figures, with their limbs bound by specially made enchanted iron chains, and their wings stained with large patches of blood, hanging upside down in the center of the factory.

“Lord Bruce, I believe that without my introduction, you must recognize the faces of most of the people in this angel patrol team, right?”

Necrodamus introduced with a proud face: “My subordinates have spent a lot of effort to capture these winged birds… But in my opinion, all this effort is worth it.”

“I didn’t expect there to be an archangel in there?” Bruce narrowed his eyes slightly, “I can’t tell, that demigoddess under your command is quite capable!”

“You flatter me, sir.”

Necrodamus smiled and did not avoid this question, “Actually, these angels can only explode with powerful power when fighting demons, but when facing other enemies… especially a demigod who is proficient in melee combat and summoning magic, their strength is somewhat unsatisfactory.”

“But back to the point…”

Necrodamus stepped forward to an old table, placed the briefcase on it, opened it, first took out a semi-automatic rifle and placed it aside, then took out a magazine, and while loading it with special silver bullets made of “sin silver”, he talked eloquently:

“In my opinion, this war between [Heaven] and [Hell] is like a game deliberately set up by God… a never-ending war game that will never have a result!”

“In the eyes of an outsider like me, God may not want any of them to achieve the final victory at all, and only hopes that this model can be extended for a long time!”

“But now, I have found a way to break this delicate balance, and everything will change!!”

Click——

After filling the bullets, Necrodamus skillfully pressed the magazine, then pulled the bolt, and pointed the muzzle at the angels in front of him.

“Foolish human wizard, you actually want to kill angels with bullets?”

One of the archangels with serious injuries said weakly:

“I advise you not to waste your energy, because even if you can destroy our bodies, it won’t be long before we are resurrected by God…

Angels are immortal, and this is as unshakable as the unchanging laws of the universe!!”

“Is that so?”

Necrodamus grinned, revealing a ferocious sneer, and said at the same time as pulling the trigger: “Then let’s wait and see.”
