"Okay, I'll have the [Angel Corps] on standby at any time..."
"But what I want to tell you is that in this war with [Hell], [Heaven] has never tried to win. The ones who can truly influence the direction of this war... are actually humans themselves!"
After saying that, Remiel suddenly flapped his pure white wings and flew into the "Gate of Heaven" at lightning speed before it officially closed.
A few seconds later, the huge gate in the sky, radiating holy light, also disappeared.
"Tch, if Boss hadn't thought of a countermeasure in advance, we would have been successfully fobbed off by that birdman."
Frank said with a look of disdain, "They keep saying it's for humanity... but they've never tried to win in the thousands of years of fighting with [Hell]... So, the expendable items in your battles are us humans?"
Logan Howlett also echoed with a look of agreement, "That's right, I stopped believing in these hypocritical things a long time ago."
"Sigh..."
Daimon Hellstrom, who obviously knew more inside information, sighed helplessly, "Actually, human souls are extremely important strategic resources for both [Heaven] and [Hell]."
"So, it should be said that neither side wants this great war to end too early."
"But the task Boss assigned is finally completed satisfactorily. Next, we'll just wait and see them fight each other like dogs!!"
Frank and Logan Howlett both showed gloating expressions on their faces.
"That's right, these fools probably wouldn't even imagine that all of this is within Boss's plan..."
…………
……
Let's rewind time to 5 minutes ago.
The [Hell Dimension] where Marduk Kurios was located.
"The [Truce Pact] has finally begun..."
Marduk Kurios stood in front of the window, looking into the distance at the huge portal connecting to Earth at the end of his vision, with a triumphant sneer on his face.
"What do you think the old guy God's expression will be when he learns that his most powerful [Seraph] has been completely killed by a mere mortal... Will it be anger, depression, sorrow, or disappointment?"
In the main hall, more than a dozen [Demon Lords], who were also [Fallen Angels], all showed eerie grins when they heard this.
"Heh heh heh, that old guy probably never dreamed that Lord Marduk could come up with such a reasonable way to bypass the constraints of the [Truce Pact] to seize Earth, right?"
"That's right, first use that human wizard to assassinate, and then use him as a scapegoat... This will not only trigger the 'insurance mechanism', causing the 'Gate of Heaven' to close permanently, but also cut off [Heaven]'s reason to launch a full-scale attack on us afterward, thereby giving them a big loss that they can't complain about."
"Lord Marduk's move... is brilliant, truly brilliant!!"
"Heh heh, we just need to quietly wait for the [Truce Pact] to end, and then after the 'Gate of Heaven' is completely closed, we can unscrupulously launch a large-scale attack on the human world."
"Haha, we can finally enjoy a delicious feast of human souls."
The [Demon Lords] in the main hall became more and more excited as they spoke, and they were all eager to show their skills.
Now, as long as Marduk Kurios gives an order, they will immediately lead their respective troops to the human world to carry out slaughter.
"As long as this plan is successful, then next, no one will be able to stop me from becoming the true [King of Hell]."
Marduk Kurios looked at the [Flame Legion] that had already completed its assembly on the plain below the palace, and a sense of pride rose in his heart.
Since the complete [Hell] was broken into several dimensional fragments, these damaged dimensional spaces have become the focus of competition among various demon kings.
Finally, after a long and tragic battle, several demon kings, including Marduk Kurios and Mephisto, stood out from the crowd of competitors.
After successfully occupying these dimensional fragments, they were also able to use the power of [Hell] to be promoted from [Demon Lord] to a true [Hell Lord].
Among them, Marduk Kurios was not the only one who called himself [Satan].
Several other [Hell Lords] also called themselves that.
But only they themselves knew that they were not the real [Satan].
Because before all the [Hell Dimension Fragments] are completely unified and reassembled into a complete [Hell], the true King of Hell [Satan] can never be born!
Even if the demon kings are only one step away from the [Satan Throne] in the center of Hell each time the [Hell Lord Roundtable Conference] is held, none of them dare to rashly sit on it.
They know very well that before obtaining the approval of the [Will of Hell], the person who sits on it will only suffer a fatal backlash from the power of Hell.
What's more, before dealing with the other competing demon kings, the person who sits on it first will immediately be torn apart by the other ambitious people.
Therefore, the competitors, including Marduk Kurios, who are qualified to compete for the [Satan Throne], have been trying their best to accumulate strength for thousands of years, just so that one day they can unify [Hell]!
However.
A key factor that plays a decisive role in enhancing the overall power of the [Hell Dimension] is the need for a large number of high-quality human souls.
But the problem is that since [Kamar-Taj] successfully rose, it has used the powerful power of [Vishanti] to establish three magical [Sanctuaries] on Earth that can isolate all [Dimension Lords] (including [Hell Lords]).
This also made it impossible for Marduk Kurios and other [Hell Lords] to directly create killings on Earth and reap large amounts of souls as they used to.
From that time on, there were only two ways left for them to harvest human souls.
One is to independently salvage those unqualified inferior souls from the [River Styx].
But this kind of soul can only be used to create some low-level demons without brains, and may not even understand instructions.
It can be said to be a chicken rib among chicken ribs.
The second is to spread disaster and fear (or greed, jealousy, etc.) in the human world through their respective agents, thereby obtaining a large number of human souls.
However.
These two methods were simply too bland for the [Hell Lords] who had previously feasted.
Later, to make matters worse, the [Heavenly Forces], who had eaten and drunk their fill, turned their attention to several [Hell Dimensions] and launched a never-ending long war with them.
Since the [Hell Lords] are not the real [Satan], they do not have the authority to "revive" demons below the level of Great Demon.
(Note: The souls of high-level demons are recognized and protected by the [Hell Dimension], so after death, their souls return to the dimensional space, and after a certain period of condensation, they can reshape their bodies)
As a result, the strength of several [Hell Lords], including Marduk Kurios, was forced to deplete their old resources.
But they were anxious and had no way to break the situation.
Mephisto was even so anxious that he personally went down to cheat and abduct people in the human world from time to time using [Astral Projection].
Although the other demon kings also wanted to do this, they were a little too embarrassed to do so.
So they could only mock Mephisto for being indiscriminate and lacking the demeanor of a lord, while secretly observing how many high-quality human souls the other party had deceived.
But Marduk Kurios was completely different from these guys.
As a [Fallen Angel], he has greater and more magnificent ambitions and pursuits.
He wants to reach the highest step by step, he wants to be Zhao Gao... no, he wants to be the true King of Hell!!
It was out of this ambition that he secretly planned this conspiracy.
As for whether such a large-scale invasion of the human world would cause the suppression of [Kamar-Taj]... he had already prepared for this.
Last time in [Belle Isle], Lilith successfully opened the dimensional channel through human sacrifice, thereby releasing tens of thousands of low-level demons.
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!
Although many mages, including [Sorcerer Supreme] Ancient One, intervened to stop them in the later stage, a large number of demons still successfully escaped into the human world.
And those demons with higher intelligence mixed in were all from the [Flame Legion].
By devouring human flesh and blood, they turned into human beings and successfully lurked.
In order to track down the whereabouts of these demons, [Kamar-Taj] sent a large number of people during this period... That's right, Marduk Kurios wanted to use this method to make [Kamar-Taj] unable to take care of itself.
And through this period of testing, he has roughly figured out the size of [Kamar-Taj].
So next, he only needs to divide the [Flame Legion] into zero, divide them into several battle groups that far exceed [Kamar-Taj]'s response limit, and then enter the Earth from different areas to easily solve this problem.
In other words, sacrifice the small to protect the big!
Actively sacrifice a certain number of battle groups to contain the mages of [Kamar-Taj], and then other battle groups take the opportunity to frantically harvest human souls.
Even if Ancient One can react in the end, it will be too late!
Because as long as there is a large number of human souls in the account, Marduk Kurios can obtain more powerful power blessings from the [Will of Hell], and create more high-level demon commanders.
Then take the opportunity to level the other [Hell Lords], annex their dimensions... and finally sit on the [Satan Throne]!!
So no matter how you look at it, it's a win-win situation, okay?
Marduk Kurios has even begun to imagine the wonderful scene of other demon kings kneeling down and surrendering when he sits on the [Satan Throne].
Awesome!!
"Tch, a bunch of arrogant clowns, I'll see if you can still laugh later?"
In the corner, Satana Hellstrom leaned lazily on a small white round table made of the carapace of some unknown creature, fiddling with the colorful "Hyperspace Bead" while indifferently admiring the "monkey show" in the main hall.
Especially when she saw the excited look on her bastard father's face, ready to show off his skills, the half-demon woman almost laughed out loud.
"Giggle, I didn't expect my bastard father, who claims to be talented and ambitious and wants to become the King of Hell, to have the day when he is played like a monkey?"
"No, no, bastard father is not stupid at all, it can only be said that that man is too smart..."
"Oh dear, I really want to know, what will that man do? The process must be wonderful and interesting, right?"
"Plotting against [Heaven] and [Hell] at the same time, he is really brave!"
"But only such a man is the most fascinating."
Thinking of Karl, Satana no longer felt bored and boring.
She decided that after this mission is over, she must have her brother tell her the whole process in detail... no, she must tell her several times.
"Lord Satan, it's not good!!"
At this moment, a high-level demon with a pair of black bat wings on his back flew into the main hall. He didn't care about the normal worship etiquette, and wailed like a bereaved parent: "Lord Bruce has been killed!!"
The originally lively discussion in the main hall suddenly stopped, and all the [Demon Lords] looked at the bat demon in astonishment.
Satana Hellstrom in the corner blinked her charming eyes and began to eat melons with great interest.
"What did you say?"
Marduk Kurios's expression changed drastically when he heard this. He raised his hand and grabbed the bat demon by the neck, pulling him close, and questioned fiercely:
"Quick, what's going on, who did it?"
"It... it was that human wizard who did it."
The bat demon said in a trembling voice, "He first killed Michael according to plan, and then somehow, after saying a few words to Lord Bruce, he directly launched a sneak attack...
Then after killing Lord Bruce, he took the page of [Darkhold Scroll] and escaped by tunneling."
"After that, we were attacked by the [Angel Corps]... The little one saw that there was no hope of victory, thinking that he must report this important news to Lord Satan alive, and then hid in the chaos, so he successfully escaped."
"It's Necrodamus... How could that lowly human ant have such great courage?"
After hearing the complete process of the matter, Marduk Kurios calmed down instead. Things did not seem to be developing in the worst direction.
He waved his hand and threw the bat demon out, then pinched his chin and frowned in thought:
"Kill Michael first, and then attack Bruce... Could it be that that guy guessed that I would attack him afterward, so he took the opportunity to kill Bruce and steal the page of [Darkhold Scroll]?"
"It cannot be ruled out that there is such a possibility... Wait a minute?!"
