Chapter 1274 Embark on a Journey
Kane City, once a prosperous city in a sanctuary, had a population of more than half a million people living here at its peak. But now, the city is full of dead silence.
Are there still humans? Yes, there are currently about 30,000 humans living in Kane City. But they lived under the rule of the devil and became slaves of the devil.
Long Wanshi killed the four major demon kings back then, but kept the three most powerful demon kings alive. They are Mephisto, the Lord of Abomination, Baal, the Lord of Destruction, and Diablo, the Lord of Fear.
And the three of them are the most powerful three demon gods in hell. The so-called seven demon kings in hell are actually only three. The other four demon kings who don't need to know their names are just pulled together to make up the number.
According to Diablo: "Seven sounds like a lot, and it seems very powerful. And the number seven has magic power, which makes people feel fear." Said the king of fear.
So the other four demon kings are actually four freebies in essence, not worth mentioning. Just like the twelve archangels in heaven, there are only five who are really powerful. They are the Archangel of Justice Tyrael, the Archangel of Courage Impris, the Archangel of Wisdom Malthael, the Archangel of Destiny Yseril and the Archangel of Hope Oliel.
Long Wanshi killed seven of the twelve archangels in one go when he was fighting bravely. Those seven archangels, like the four demon kings in hell, are small characters who don't deserve to have names, and they were also pulled out to make up the numbers.
Why are there twelve archangels?
"Because twelve sounds more than seven, we will overwhelm hell in terms of momentum." Archangel Marsail said.
So don't look at Long Wanshi who looked awesome back then. He hacked to death the four great demon kings and the seven archangels by himself, making heaven, hell and sanctuary have his legends, but in fact the core power of heaven and hell is not at all. damaged. As long as the Three Great Demon Kings and the Five Great Angels don't fall, then Heaven and Hell won't be hurt, and they only need to spend a little time to recover their strength.
It's just some small characters who don't deserve to have a name. Arrange trials for the people below, and then have some adventures, give them cheats, practice for hundreds of years, and then you can make up for it.
And now the city of Cairn is where Diablo, the King of Terror, resides in Sanctuary. He occupies the human palace, and usually transforms into a human form for activities, but in fact he is the most insidious and cunning of the three demon gods.
The reason why the devil did not kill all humans but took a large number of slaves was because Diablo said to his two brothers: "The weapons and tools made by the devil are too rough. We need dexterous humans to help us make all kinds of equipment , and we also need someone to plow the fields and grow food. Low-level demons can eat raw blood, but relying solely on food in nature, our army cannot keep up. Demons also need to eat. Especially high-level demons , they prefer the best food."
The King of Fear's proposal was approved by the two elder brothers, so the demons made a rule that if they plunder a city in the future, as long as the human height is lower than the wheel (about 1.2 meters), then they will not be killed. Instead, they are kept in captivity as slaves. Work for the devil.
And the angel side is actually not much better. Don't watch them fight the devil in the name of justice. But in fact they have no less control over humans. The way demons enslave humans is simple and crude. The angels are much gentler. They directly brainwash humans and make them fanatics of heaven. Willing to dedicate everything to heaven, even life.
Because the angels promised them that as long as they were human beings who died fighting for heaven, they could be reincarnated as angels in the next life.
"The wise archangel of shit, Masail. Even more insidious and cunning than Lao Tzu, angels are also bred, but they say to human beings that angels are born from the pool of gods after reincarnating from people with clean souls and entering heaven. Human beings who do evil will be reincarnated in hell and become monsters in the next life." Diablo, the king of fear, couldn't help but madly DISS the Archangel of Wisdom.
"Their teachings are too brainwashed. Coupled with mind control. Those human beings actually believe so much. Tsk tsk tsk, stupid. Angels, demons and humans are just different creatures. Although I have a way to transform humans into Demons, but there is no way to transform people into angels in heaven. Thinking about it, it is more cost-effective to seek refuge with me. Transformed into a demon, powerful, life-span is extended, and there are beautiful horns and bright red skin , the mouth can breathe fire, the nostrils can breathe out smoke, and the whole body has hard scales. How good it is to be a demon, why don’t those humans understand.”
The King of Fear was thinking about all this in his palace in Kane City. He felt that human beings were stupid. How is being a devil a punishment? Obviously a reward! Compared with the illusory promise of becoming an angel, it is obvious that transforming oneself into a demon is the pursuit that human beings should have.
"The human body is fragile, the skin is too delicate, and the facial features are unprotected. Tsk tsk tsk." Although Hua is a human being, Diablo is not satisfied with the human body, but is full of complaints.
If it wasn't for me to appease those human slaves and let them work with peace of mind, I wouldn't have become a human being.
Diablo's human form is a kind-looking old man with white beard and white hair, which makes people feel at ease. When he smiled, he was kind like his grandfather.
He came out of his palace and walked on the street. The people living in Kane City are all high-level demons, not low-level demons like the Fallen Demon. High-level demons have their own intelligence, they have taverns, striptease venues, and even brothels. There are banshees, vampires, dark believers, demon lords and other high-level demons here.
So although there are no humans in Kane City now, it is still very lively.
Seeing the excitement, Diablo couldn't help curling his lips: "These demons don't want to go back to hell anymore, right?"
Yeah, the days of Hell are too hard, full of scalding lava and boiling hot lakes. The black earth is dry all year round.
Who said demons like lava? Although some demons can indeed survive for a period of time in the lava in the burning hell of thousands of degrees, most demons will be burned to death by those lava!
Why did the devil come to snatch Sanctuary? Isn't it because the living environment here is more comfortable?
Walking on the street, the high-ranking demons all knelt down and saluted when they saw Diablo, and Diablo went straight around the city. As the most intelligent and cunning of the three demon gods, he did not go to the front line to fight the angels like his two elder brothers. Instead, keep running in the rear.
After fighting the Hundred Years' War in Sanctuary, the King of Fear had a new understanding of Sanctuary.
"It's too small here! The sanctuary is too small!" Diablo looked up at the sky. There was a moon in the sky, and there was also a sun in the sky during the day. But he tried, and he could never reach the moon or the sun. He flew straight up, and then encountered a thick layer of soil.
It took him three months to dig through the solid rock, but he found himself back on the ground of Sanctuary, standing where he had taken off.
Sanctuary is a small world, with light sources like the sun and moon, but it's covered by an invisible wall. The world here is so big. The sky is high and the earth is thick.
In fact, hell is not very big, and so is heaven.
Although heaven and hell have been fighting in Sanctuary for nearly a hundred years, what is surprising is that the environment of Sanctuary is so comfortable and comfortable, so it is good for angels and demons. The population has increased over the past century.
That's what worries Diablo the Lord of Fear the most. Now is the battle on the front lines. It would be bad if the battle with heaven was lost. The demons are now used to the stability of Sanctuary, and they are determined not to go back to hell.
Moreover, Hell is smaller than Sanctuary, and it simply cannot accommodate such a large population.
Diablo only felt a pain in his head. He shook his head, his figure blurred, and the next moment he appeared on a high mountain hundreds of kilometers away.
"Masail, come out." Diablo stood on the top of the mountain and shouted into the air.
The next moment, ripples twisted in the air, and a female archangel wearing golden armor, a hood, and seven pairs of light wings on her back appeared in front of Diablo. The brim of her hat was pulled down very low, so her face could not be seen clearly, but her voice was pleasant, with an ethereal and quiet feeling.
"Masail, I never expected that you, the Archangel of Wisdom, would stand and chat with me, the King of Fear, instead of confronting each other on the battlefield." The old man in the form of Diablo smiled warmly.
But Masail said: "War is just a means, Diablo. You know it, and I know it. We have fought for a hundred years, and we are actually tired of war. You have not launched a large-scale war for three years. , we have not waged a jihad for three years."
"Jihad, hehe, he will really put gold on his face." Diablo sneered.
"No matter what you say. Diablo, the war between Heaven and Hell should have stopped for a while. It won't do us any good if we fight any longer." Masail said ethereally.
"Stop? Can it be stopped? The population of your heaven is skyrocketing right now. Because of the war, you encourage births. As far as I know, heaven is already overcrowded. Now only middle and high-level angels can live in heaven. The low-level angels are all killed. You rushed to live in Sanctuary, right?"
"Your heaven is pretty good. At least the environment of your heaven itself is good, it is a paradise. But we demons are not as lucky as you. Burning Hell is not a place for demons to stay. No demons are willing to go back. Many demons even drag their families People come to live in Sanctuary. And Sanctuary is only so big. If your people take up more space, we need less space."
Diablo said the key: "There is only so much land. If you don't grab it, we will. Do you think it is possible for us to have a truce?"
Masail had nothing to say, and it took her a long time before she said: "Eliyunas used the World Stone to stand in the Sanctuary, and now the World Stone is in your hands. We can work together to find new world. When the time comes for the angels to occupy the sanctuary, you demons can move to a new world."
"Hahahaha! You heaven is really shameless. Why did you cede the land that my two brothers and I laid down to you? Why didn't the angels move out of the sanctuary?" Diablo roared, and the huge demon body instantly Flashing, it was a red demon, more than seven meters tall, surrounded by flames and covered with beautiful and sharp horns. The muscles are solid and fierce, wrapped in red skin, with a long tail and a standard devil face. Diablo is the number one handsome guy in the demon world.
"It is impossible for us to move out of Sanctuary. To move out, it is you who move out!"
Masail shook his head: "Could it be that war is unavoidable?"
Diablo nodded: "Unless a new world appears in front of me immediately!"
As soon as the King of Fear's words fell, a beam of light soared into the sky from the long-abandoned magic circle in Kane City. The shining white light shot straight into the sky, dispelling the original midnight darkness in an instant, and the hundreds of miles around Kane City were as bright as day.
"Is it the light of the World Stone?!" Malthael's originally calm and ethereal voice became a little flustered.
But Diablo blurted out: "There is a new world connected to the World Stone!" The next moment Diablo exited the demon form and turned into a kind old man again.
He said kindly to Marthael: "Dear Archangel of Wisdom, a new world has emerged, no matter what the reason is. Are you interested in cooperating with me? I think we can temporarily sign an armistice agreement for a few years. "
Malthael glanced at Diablo with a complicated expression, and finally left only one sentence: "I will discuss with the other four angels." After saying that, his figure transformed and left.
And Diablo also appeared in Kane City in the next moment, and the high-level demons in Kane City were startled by the sudden flash. And the appearance of Diablo at this time is undoubtedly the appearance of the backbone.
Several demon lords stepped forward to ask the Lord of Fear, what should we do now?
Diablo only said: "Throw me the low-level fallen demons, sharp blade demons, fallen mages, zombies, and skeletons. Let's see what's going on!"
That's how straightforward Hell is. The lives of low-level demons that can be mass-produced are worthless. Under Diablo's call, tens of thousands of fallen demons, sharp blade demons, fallen mages, zombies and skeletons gathered in Kane City within a short period of time. There are also a small number of dark rogues and dark archers. At Diablo's order, the first batch of fallen demons embarked on a journey to the new world!
Ps: Ask for tickets at the beginning of the month. In addition, it is gratifying that some book friends finally discovered the meaning of the name [Piero, Lord of Westmarch]. [Piero] Spanish adventurer (plunderer), destroyed the Inca Empire and killed the Inca king.
