Chapter 155 The Greedy Demon King with Distorted Thinking

Under the scarlet sky is a vast wasteland.

The wasteland is dry and cracked everywhere, and deep in the gaps, there is a faint glow like lava.

The air on the surface is also distorted, silently proving that the climate here is so hot that normal people cannot survive at all.

But the strange thing is that there are many human figures scattered in this area.

Their bodies were shriveled and skinny, their ribs clearly highlighted, as if they had been baked into mummies, but they could still roll on the ground endlessly, wailing in pain.

Some who really can't bear it will even scratch their eyes or throat and other vital parts.

It seems that this form can be used to divert attention and relieve the pain all over the body.

Such a scene can be called hell.

In fact, this is indeed hell.

And it is the outermost hell.

Some people degenerate after death, and their first stop is this place called the Everlasting Wilderness, where they endure the lightest torture in the eyes of demons.

In other words, this is actually a "newbie village".

The souls that appear here can still be called human beings. Only after leaving the Novice Village can they barely possess the characteristics of hellish life.

And since it is a novice village, it is of course impossible for the hell beings who have left the novice range to enter at will, lest they destroy the source of life in hell.

But at this moment, this rule was quietly broken.

Deep underground in the wilderness is a magma sea with extremely high temperatures and no gaps for survival.

But at this time, a giant black dragon was lying quietly at the bottom of this terrifying magma.

The dragon is huge, and when it lies stretched out, it can be regarded as a small mountain standing quietly. The strange golden lines flowing on the black scales are like an art mural, making it look both spectacular and beautiful.

Those who didn't know it thought it was some epic creature from ancient mythology.

However, it is actually a demon king.

The Demon King of Greed.

There are many species in hell.

Devils and demons are only the two races with the most presence among them, but they are not the ones with the strongest overall quality.

And just like some human beings will experience various cruel tortures in hell after death, and eventually transform into demons or demons.

Dragons, beings at the top of the worldly food chain, also have a chance of degenerating into dark monsters after death.

After being transformed, they are called abyss dragons, and they are also at the top of the hell creature chain.

It's just that compared to humans, the rules for the corruption of dragons are more stringent, and the success rate of transformation is not high, so the number of dragons is very rare.

Even if it is born, it will usually be tamed into a mount by some high-level hell beings, and it is difficult to have a chance to be independent.

The Greedy Demon is an alternative.

But it actually served as a mount in its early years, or in other words, it was always a mount before becoming the Demon King.

Initially, its owner was a quartermaster under Lucifer. Later, after betraying Lucifer, he became the first generation of the Greedy Demon King.

The second and third generations of the Greedy Demon King are also its masters.

They used various means to usurp the authority and position of the former king, and usually killed all the direct descendants of the former king.

However, due to their greedy nature, they are reluctant to dispose of precious mounts like the Abyss Demonic Dragon at will.

So they were all tricked to death by the dragon, after they gradually relaxed their vigilance.

It can be said that greed that seems stupid is actually very cunning, knowing how to be forbearing, knowing how to hide clumsiness, and being extremely sensitive to timing and changes in the external environment.

Unfortunately, after becoming the Demon King, its greed has been infinitely magnified, so much so that even after being tricked twice in a row, it still has no repentance——

Faced with the two major powers in its hands, it knew that something was wrong with them, but still chose to devour them after some hesitation.

"If Lucifer faked his death back then, then there should be only two types of things he does now."

"Restore strength, and hide from enemies."

Lying in the depths of the lava ocean, Greedy thought silently.

"The two powers of arrogance and lies appeared in front of me. It should be a trap set by him."

"What is the purpose?"

"You want to use your authority to challenge and seriously injure me after I've devoured it? And then take away the authority of greed as well?"

"Or does he want me to continue to take the blame for him?"

The two major authorities have been swallowed into its body and are currently being digested.

This process took a long time, so Greedy thought a lot during this period, became very vigilant, and was even mentally prepared to be tricked.

However, it is completely unaware that the trap does not come from the outside, but from the authority itself——

After Lucifer died, the seven powers were born.

But they did not spring out of Lucifer's corpse, but were the product of the division of power in hell and the "leakage" of the rules.

For thousands of years, these powers have changed hands countless times, but no one noticed anything was wrong.

So when Greed discovered that as digestion continued, its thinking became slightly distorted and something was wrong, it didn't pay too much attention.

Because this is actually a necessary process.

Once you become a demon king, you need to undergo the "pollution" of authority and the transformation of the Seven Deadly Sins, and it is inevitable that your temperament will change as a result.

Just like it was not very greedy before, but became much more impulsive after becoming the Demon King...

However, this time the pollution was obviously different.

As the "pollution" continued, some special "memories" appeared in his mind!

The scenes in my memory are blurry and messy.

There are fights, practices, adventures, meetings...

Everything was incomplete and fragmented, but deep in Greedy's heart, an idea was inexplicably born.

"I am the king of hell."

"The Lucifer who appeared in the human world is an imposter!"

This idea came to me very strangely.

If it were normal, it would definitely be wary.

However, now, apart from shaking the dragon's head, Greedy had no other reaction.

"After digestion, I should find a place to hide for hundreds of years, just like the arrogance before."

It lay peacefully at the bottom of the magma ocean, still thinking about the trap in its heart, and seemed to have completely forgotten the weird idea just now.

"Which place is suitable?"

"Hell will definitely not work. Lucifer has controlled hell for so many years, so he must have back-ups here."

"The human world seems more dangerous."

"Um……"

The process of absorbing authority is actually a process of being transformed by the power of authority. During this period, it cannot act easily.

That's why it came to hide in the "novice area" that no one else can enter, so as not to be disturbed.

Because it is a complete transformation from body to soul, it seems to be thinking about things at this time, but in fact, it does not dare to focus on other places other than its main body.

So it doesn't notice it at all.

At this time, in the cave of the human world, my clone was silently surrounded by several figures!
