Chapter 607: Giving in, but not the end
'Sure enough... I knew it would be like this. Everything has a price, and it can be discussed and traded. It should be said that he is worthy of the devil - no, this should be said , worthy of Asmodeus himself. '
"Ha."
Nohill chuckled. Everyone knows that devils pay attention to contracts and conspiracies, and disdain violence, but these guys are all born evil. , how could everyone be so particular? So the main reason why all devils really follow the above principles is because of the devil king in front of him and the [ruby scepter] beside him.
Nohir stared at the ruby scepter that Asmodeus leaned on the table and chair. After ascending to a godlike form, he can now trigger the panel just by observing with his eyes. The ability to read item information, and in his field of vision, he could clearly see the origin of the scepter and the abilities it possessed.
[Ruby Scepter] is a powerful artifact that Asmodeus must carry. The person who created this scepter was not Asmodeus himself. Its real creator is actually the master of the mechanical mirror of Clock Nirvana. , the most ordered thing in the world, the absolute leader of the modrons, a divine mechanical life form respected by the world as "Singularity".
In the long past, [Singularity] was invited by the angels to participate in and preside over the trial against the fallen angel Asmodeus, but in that debate, Asmodeus Si used his eloquent words to emphasize the connection between contract and order, and placed himself on the side of righteousness, allowing [Singularity] to consider Asmodeus's words and agree with him in this regard. concept.
Then [Singularity] patiently listened to the angels’ statements one after another as they testified for His crimes. However, as the hours passed, they condensed into the sky, and day by day passed by. As the weeks passed, more and more records of Asmodeus's crimes continued to enter the courtroom.
Even Singularity's patience has a certain limit, and eventually, the remaining angels who were eager to testify were told that only a few were allowed to speak, and a fight broke out as an angel, Zari He broke out as he pushed his way to the front of the crowd and demanded to be heard.
In the end, Singularity refused to issue the final verdict. He reprimanded the angels for falling into internal strife, but did not punish Asmodeus for his evil methods. But after that, He ordered Asmodeus to always carry a powerful artifact created by him, the Ruby Scepter.
This scepter would ensure that He obeyed the law at all times, granting Him and His men the right to make contracts with mortals for their souls, and at the same time inflicting inescapable punishment on any devil who violated such contracts.
[Singularity] The original intention of handing this artifact to Asmodeus was to limit his rights, but later, Asmodeus used the power of this artifact to destroy the Nine The hell was built into what He wanted, and the scepter that was supposed to limit His power actually granted Him supreme authority in the true sense.
In addition to being restricted by his responsibilities, which prevents Asmodeus from leaving hell and entering the main material plane at will, he can be regarded as the uncrowned king in the nine hells and even the entire outer plane. But - so what?
“I don’t think I need to explain anything to you.”
I did not accept Asmodeus’s hospitality because Nohir understood deeply that if one day a If the devil suddenly appears in front of you and hosts a banquet for you, then his purpose must be to trick you into signing an agreement. This is the case with ordinary devils, let alone the king of devils before him.
Therefore, Nohir simply rejected Him. He leaned [Matarotok] on the ground and carried [King's Holy Axe] on his shoulders. The silver-gray divine power danced on his body like lightning, scratching his body. Disguised as a mortal body, his two pairs of wings spread freely, revealing his truest and most powerful form!
"...I haven't even proposed my price yet, so I just rejected it outright. This is not the way to make a deal or negotiate a business."
Asmodeus sipped slightly Taking a sip of the red wine in the glass, Nohir's uncooperative attitude made him lose his interest in drinking. Although he didn't show it, he was already irritated in his heart, but he still endured it, and then he kept it. The demeanor of being the king of devils. "Arguing with the King of Demons is a very stupid thing, so I have no intention of doing more exchanges and arguments with you. Asmodeus, your identity and power may make many people fear you, but this is It definitely doesn’t include me, so from now on, there are only two ways to go between you and me.”
Nohir didn’t say everything, but both of them knew, Where do those two roads lead, and Asmodeus also knows in his heart that Nohir did this just to give him a step down from the outside. If he himself is willing to take this step, then what will happen next? The story will not develop too shamefully, but if Asmodeus does not accept this step——
Well, in general, Nohill has given Him the choice, and this means that Nohill is indeed as he said, and he is confident enough to compete with Him.
"...Really? It's such a pity that I wasted my hospitality. This bottle of Selene ruby wine is a collection from another world. Unfortunately, it seems that I am destined not to enjoy it. "
Asmodeus stood up, raised his hand to take the ruby scepter back into his hand, and at the same time clapped his hands gently, and the stone chairs and tables disappeared in an instant, and he just connected. Holding the scepter, he slowly walked towards Nohir and kept talking.
“Weapons are gone, they can be rebuilt, legions are gone, they can be recruited again, although those angels are an eyesore, but it’s a good feeling to see those pretentious fools drop their bodies and take advantage of the loopholes. It's comfortable, so I don't care about the above offenses, but you actually want to take away the general I personally recruited, this-"
"I suggest you better say it straight. ”
Nohir's voice suddenly came from Asmodeus's side, and what appeared next to him at the same time was the giant ax that was almost on his neck. Asmodeus's blood-red The evil eye instantly shrank into a pinpoint. Before, even with his powerful divine power, he could only see a slight afterimage. But this speed was so fast that even if he could see it completely, it would be almost impossible. It passed by in a flash every time.
"... Leave Ba Fu Mie behind, and you can leave."
"Thank you, thank you for such a clear response."
Put away the battle ax At last, a smile appeared on Nohir's face. He waved slightly towards Asmodeus, and then turned around, wanting to take the angels away from this ghost place first, but at this moment .
“It won’t end so easily.”
Nohir turned his head again, but all he saw was the scarlet whirlwind that Asmodeus brought when he left.
