"..."
After hearing Mephisto's words, Roy was speechless for a while and couldn't help complaining: "Mephisto, are you out of your mind? Now that you have seen the scene of the Seven Demon Kings being killed by Lilith, why are you still here? Want to take action against Sanctuary? Have you ever thought that perhaps it was your actions against Sanctuary that led to Lilith’s revenge?”
"No, no, no, Osiris!" Mephisto shook his finger at Roy and said, "You may have made a mistake. It was not our actions against Sanctuary that prompted Lilith's revenge. In fact, no matter whether we let Sanctuary go or not, Lilith will take revenge on us! Don’t forget, she is a traitor to the Flame Hell!”
After being reminded by Mephisto, Roy suddenly realized, yes, Lilith is still a traitor on the devil's side.
"Lilith has been exiled twice..." Mephisto continued: "The last time she returned from the void, the conflict between her and hell could not be resolved, and it was not only hell, but also heaven. The same is true for one side. Lilith's hatred is directed at both angels and demons. This is caused by her own 'maternal nature'. After returning from the void for the first time, she wanted revenge, but she was weak at the time. , so she wanted to use the power of her children, those Nephalems, but she underestimated 'human nature'! Her Nephalem children rebelled against their mother as if they were in a rebellious period, As a result, she was exiled for a second time."
Roy had nothing to say when he heard this, although he felt that Lilith was indeed a little sad, as if she had resentment against her parents' family (Fire Hell) and wanted to take revenge, but her son (the Nephalem) did not support her at all. , was even beaten up by her husband (Inaris) and then locked up...
After experiencing these things, Lilith would be a ghost if she didn't become filled with resentment.
So Mephisto is right. No matter whether the Flame Hell takes action against Sanctuary or not, Lilith will definitely take revenge on the Flame Hell after she returns. Of course, the high-level heaven was originally within the scope of Lilith's revenge, but Because of Roy's intervention, Lilith now has one less target for revenge.
Mephisto continued: "My brother and I both knew that Lilith would return one day, and we were mentally prepared to be revenged by her. And the future scenes I saw were in Europe and the West. Before you came to this world, Reese, if we followed the normal development, we might really fall into Lilith's hands, so in order to prevent this from happening, I finally thought of a way..."
"Such as introducing me as a... variable?" Roy nodded to express his understanding.
"Yes, variables!" Mephisto said: "The so-called picture of the future fragment is actually just a prophecy. In the long river of time, it is just a 'possibility' of the future. There is a probability that it will happen, and there is a possibility that it will happen." The probability will not happen, so it is not inevitable. As long as enough external variables are added to it, it will lead to changes in the future."
Roy thought thoughtfully for a moment, then gave Mephisto a thoughtful look, and said quietly: "Are you so sure that my appearance will change your future destiny instead of causing the opposite effect?"
"Counter-effect? What are you referring to?" Mephisto laughed unruly: "You mean that because of your joining, we were killed by Lilith? Impossible, I'm sure, Lilith Even if she comes back this time, she has been polluted by the void. I don't know how serious this pollution is. Maybe she can suppress it with her own ability, but once she goes to war with the Fiery Hell, when she faces us, She will be unable to suppress the pollution of the void, and then she will lose her mind and become a void monster, and everything in the material world will become her enemy, which of course includes you, Osiris!"
"If you don't want to be swallowed by a void monster, you can only help us kill her!" Mephisto stared at Roy with his bright demon eyes: "Otherwise, all of us...will die!"
Roy turned his head and looked at Diablo and Barr, and found that everyone nodded slightly in agreement with Mephisto's words.
So Roy stopped talking and just nodded. There was only one sentence buried in his heart:
"Then have you ever thought about what if void pollution can be solved?"
This is not to blame Mephisto and the others. It’s not that they are short-sighted. In fact, with Mephisto’s long lifespan, this old guy has seen too many things. Otherwise, he would not know the void erosion. It's just that compared to a demon like Lilith who has been working hard to find a solution to void erosion, Mephisto's inertial thinking is that there is no solution to void erosion.
If you don't study, you won't understand. Mephisto is confident that after these words, Roy will definitely stand with them to deal with Lilith. There are eight demon kings in the flaming hell, and its power is unprecedentedly powerful. Even if Lilith returns He couldn't afford any waves, so now he wanted to tie up Roy forcefully and pull Roy into their chariot.
But he would not have thought that Roy and Lilith would naturally join forces...
Although he was still chatting and spanking with Mephisto and the others in the flaming hell, Roy was actually considering the possibility of jumping back...
Seeing Roy nodding along, Mephisto thought that he agreed with what he said, so he continued a little proudly: "Of course, considering that Lilith may have hidden some power that we have not known, so in During the next invasion of Sanctuary, there is no need for all of us to show up in a hurry, I have a better candidate here!"
After saying that, Mephisto stood up from the Dark Throne. With a gentle wave of his hand, he moved away the huge foundation stone of the throne. Then Roy saw a faint firelight revealed on the cliff behind the foundation stone. Come to the cave.
Diavolo and Barr knew what Mephisto was going to do, so they also stood up. They each shrank their bodies and followed Mephisto into the hidden cave one after another.
Roy naturally followed in. As he walked, he observed the situation in the cave and found a long staircase extending straight down, seemingly leading deep into the ground.
"Mephisto, where are you taking us?" Roy asked.
"The interrogation chamber! A place used to hold important prisoners!" Mephisto replied without looking back: "Don't worry, you will understand when you get to the place!"
Roy stopped talking and followed the demon kings all the way down. He didn't know how long he walked until he finally found a dazzling fire coming from the front. He must have reached the place.
After walking up the stairs, Roy's eyes suddenly opened up. What appeared in front of Roy was a huge cave space. It was a huge pit. The bottom of the pit was filled with high-temperature magma that was constantly rolling. The scorching air was full of It is poisonous gas that contains a foul smell, and in the center of this magma lake, a stone pillar stands there.
Although this stone pillar is higher than the magma plane, it is shorter than the position where Roy and the others are currently fighting. It is equivalent to a safe zone recessed in the magma lake. For the demon kings, such a small distance is not an obstacle, so they The scene at the top of the stone pillar was easily seen clearly.
There is a cluster of crystals growing around 360 degrees. These crystals form a ring and stand, and in the center of the ring, an angel bound by countless chains hangs there. The angel's light wings have already His limbs were broken and his limbs were cut off. His strength was constantly being extracted by the chains, keeping him in a mortal form. Under the hood was a haggard and ferocious face, and the surrounding crystals reflected him. His appearance, a pair of eyes without eyelids, widened wildly and desperately, forcing him to see his own face and appearance in these crystals.
Inarius! Roy reacted immediately.
Mephisto later confirmed Roy's guess and said: "Yes, the candidate I mentioned is Inaris, who was once an advisor to the Angus Council in High Heaven and deputy to Archangel Tyrell of Justice. The creator of Sanctuary and now the tragic outcast, I believe Lilith will be happy to see her husband appear in front of her after she returns, right?"
Hearing Mephisto's words, the other six demon kings couldn't help but laugh wildly, especially when they saw the miserable look of Inaris who could only squirm. Their hearts were filled with incomparable joy. They saw this scene. I’ve read it thousands of times and still haven’t had enough of it.
Roy said nothing and observed Inaris' condition. He found that Inaris had actually fallen. It seemed that his mind had been worn away by long-term imprisonment and torture. Roy saw fear and pain in him. , hatred and other negative emotions, but only without his own thoughts. The power exuded by this former archangel is completely dark. This is already the performance of a fallen angel.
In addition, there is another kind of power in Inaris. Roy can see it after a little distinguishing. It is... the power of death!
After thinking about it for a moment, he frowned and asked Mephisto: "Malthael?"
Mephisto nodded approvingly and said: "That's right! It's Malthael. To be more precise, it's his godhead! After the High Heaven eliminated Malthael, the angel of death, he didn't discover his The soul returned to the Crystal Arch, so they all thought he was completely dead, but they ignored one question, that is, how could death itself still die? At that time, Malthael, although his body collapsed, but the godhead representing death But it was preserved. The remaining soul was also protected by this godhead. My clone took some time to find him in a ruins outside Westmarch. Malthael wanted to Resurrection, so I made a contract with him, I will help him find a body that suits him, and he will become a member of our blazing hell!"
"Is this body Inaris?" Roy understood: "Inaris has lost his mind in endless torture. Malthael's godhead and soul can control the actions of this body in him. The power of death can also be integrated well with darkness. He is Inaris on the outside, but Malthael on the inside. If he is used as the vanguard of hell, Lilith will definitely be fooled, right?"
"That's right!" All the Seven Demon Kings laughed triumphantly together.
Roy sighed slightly in his heart. The old guys in Hell are really not a fuel-efficient lamp. They have all kinds of conspiracies and tricks at their fingertips. It seems that the disaster of the world of Sanctuary is coming next.
And Lilith has probably arrived quietly, right? What will she do next?
