Chapter 104: Man-Made Fallen Angel

"Is Mephistopheles a demon?" Piccolo still thinks this story is a bit mysterious. If Faust is a person who is painfully wandering between thinking and existence, then who is Mephistopheles?

JOKER closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, "The author of Faust's play didn't seem to intend to make Mephistopheles a demon at the beginning. He gave people the impression that he did good deeds to achieve great evil."

"A person who does good deeds to achieve great evil? What kind of logic is this? Doing good deeds in order to achieve great evil? His purpose of doing good is actually to achieve great evil?" Piccolo frowned, this is the most nonsense he has ever heard. things.

"That's true."

"Do you have the script of that work? Or the script of the opera, I want to study it." Bick asked.

"I'm sorry, I read the work when I was very young. This work and this opera are very old, hundreds of years ago. If it hadn't been by chance, I wouldn't have known about such a play. I only remember it. A rough idea. "What else can JOKER do? After all, "Faust" is Goethe's masterpiece and the culmination of his lifelong thought and artistic exploration. The conception and writing of "Faust" completely ran through Goethe's life. It was started in 1768 and was not completed until 18 years - a total of 64 years, that is, one year before Goethe's death.

There is no game system mall now. How can JOKER show the entire "Faust" to Piccolo now?

Piccolo nodded. He couldn't force this matter. "You will keep the name Faust, which shows that you have a deep understanding of the story of Faust. What about Mephistopheles?"

"Many people think that Mephistopheles is a demon who seduces humans into corruption, and Mephistopheles also claims to be loyal to Lucifer. His shape looks like an upright griffin beast, and somewhat like a dragon. His whole body is covered with It is full of black hair and has a pair of big wings. When he incarnates in the human world, he appears in the form of a goat, but there is only one horn on his head and two small bat-like wings on his back. This is an opera and a novel. The most evil appearance of Mephistopheles in folklore, but in fact Mephistopheles comes to the world in various appearances. He is ever-changing. He may be a beggar begging on the street, or he may be an old man selling wine. , maybe a professor in the university, or a poet sitting by the river singing."

"Interesting, this guy actually has the appearance of a sentient being, he really looks like a Buddha." Piccolo couldn't help but joke, this setting is indeed more in line with the demon god's sense of déjà vu.

But after he finished complaining, Piccolo suddenly remembered what Ye Xun said just now, and was suddenly surprised: "You mean Lucifer?"

"Well, it's Lucifer. Mephistopheles is Lucifer's subordinate in folklore and belongs to the fallen angels." JOKER said.

Hearing this, Piccolo suddenly felt that something was wrong. Based on his understanding of the divine world, there was no such thing as Lucifer. What was the origin of what this JOKER was talking about?

Piccolo was confused, but he was still very interested in this Lucifer. After all, the devil called himself Lucifer, so he should make a calculation.

"It is said that when Mephisto was an angel, he was deeply loved by Lucifer because of his outstanding military exploits. Later, after Lucifer failed to lead the angel family to rebel against God, Mephisto naturally became a fallen angel, and he was still As a veteran-level demon, he uses his own power to buy human souls. He is an out-and-out demon."

At this point, JOKER glanced at Piccolo and said jokingly: "He looks a lot like you."

"How do you say this?" Piccolo was puzzled, thinking it couldn't be because he was ugly, right?

"This Mephistopheles is called the Demon God. He actually has a lot of knowledge about astronomy, astrology and meteorology, and possesses all kinds of magical spells. He is also very good at changing the weather of nature, and he can induce human desires everywhere. ”

"Nima, this doesn't sound like it at all. Don't you just want to say that I'm ugly!" Piccolo was instantly angry. He couldn't find anything to say. He didn't go around arousing people's desires, let alone change. Nature is very good at meteorology.

Hellboy JOKER laughed and said, "Where are the Dragon Balls?"

"Uh?!" Piccolo was startled, thinking that this idea was correct. Dragon Balls can indeed change the weather of a planet. You only need to make a wish to make a thirsty place rain, and make a whole day The place where there was heavy rain finally cleared up.

It can be said that this dragon ball does a good job of arousing people's desires. Piccolo can't shirk it even if he wants to.

Piccolo was speechless, but he had no choice. He originally wanted to create the Dragon Balls in order to fill human lives with hope and let them strive for their dreams. However, it completely backfired. Almost everyone who wanted to get the Dragon Balls... All to realize their own desires.

Dominating the world, possessing wealth, gaining eternal life, blah blah blah, etc., Piccolo almost vomited.

"Okay, I admit that my creation of the Dragon Balls was completely counterproductive, but I still want to state that my original intention of creating the Dragon Balls was good." Piccolo must explain himself on this principle issue, otherwise he will be very embarrassed Sorry, "But why do you Mephisto call yourself Lucifer? Where does this Lucifer come from?"

"Lucifer..." JOKER pondered for a moment, and he began to quickly search for some information about Lucifer in his mind. There were too many things to say about Lucifer.

"First of all, Lucifer is a figure in Western religious legends, which originally means bright star."

"A god named after a star? Then he must be very powerful, no wonder he dared to rebel against the so-called God."

"Well, but I don't know exactly when it became synonymous with fallen angels. Later, historians conducted research and found that the image of fallen angels was obviously a misunderstanding, but because the image of fallen angels was too deeply rooted in people's hearts, people tend to regard Lucifer as a flesh-and-blood character, not just a high-ranking archangel. Therefore, many literary works portray Lucifer in the image of fallen angels."

Other people might think that this is the case, but Piccolo is different. He heard the hidden meaning and asked in confusion: "You mean, Lucifer is actually a man-made fallen angel?"

"Huh?! What did you say?!" JOKER's expression changed, and he looked up at Piccolo. This sentence suddenly gave him a strange feeling in his heart. Piccolo seemed to have hit the point!

Man-made fallen angel? !

Yes, his own explanation just now just illustrates a very likely true situation, that Lucifer should be a man-made fallen angel. (To be continued)
