City of Angels.
A castle that stands on the top of a vast plain and is carefully constructed from flawless white jade as white as clouds. The overall castle presents a European classical style.
After getting closer, I found that the castle was surrounded by layers of deep and long moats, like crystal ribbons inlaid on the green earth. The sparkling waves reflected the blue sky, white clouds and the majestic figure of the castle.
This magnificent water system is where the source of the Nabra River lies.
Passing through the majestic city gate carved with complicated patterns, plated with gold and inlaid with silver, what comes into view is a gorgeous, magnificent and yet solemn and majestic scene.
The floor paved with white jade is like a smooth and bright mirror, which complements the magnificent dome and gorgeous columns in the castle, creating a mysterious and noble dream space.
Under the leadership of Michael, everyone passed through the criss-crossing and layered buildings and went straight to the central palace of the City of Angels.
On the second floor of the central palace, there is a huge long white jade square table suspended. The square table is already filled with food and desserts.
Lu Shaoyang slowly sat down under the invitation, looking at the dazzling array of fruits and food in front of him, even the fruits and food he had never seen before, but he could not arouse any interest at all.
After waiting for a moment, seeing Michael still carrying out the so-called etiquette, he finally couldn't help but nodded and interrupted.
"Archangel Michael, thank you for your very grand hospitality, but we are not rich in time, so let's get straight to the point."
“I have three questions here that I would like you to help answer first.
"The first one, what kind of existence is Satan? The second one, what is the Gate of Hell and where is it? The third one, how to lift the shield in the area where Adam and Eve are, and how do we enter it? ?”
Upon hearing these three questions, Michael was suddenly stunned and stopped what he was doing.
"Mr. Lu Shaoyang, I want to know, what is the purpose of asking these three questions?"
Lu Shaoyang replied directly without any hesitation.
"To be honest, we are here to complete the mission, and we only have seven days."
"In these seven days, our group needs to help you kill Satan and prevent the gate of hell from opening. We also need to kill Satan who turned into a snake demon and escort Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden."
"But what we haven't figured out is that if we help you kill Satan, wouldn't he be able to turn into a snake demon? Since then, our second mission cannot be completed, so I want to know, Satan, what kind of existence is he?"
After roughly understanding the purpose of Lu Shaoyang's questions, Michael slowly put down the golden goblet in his hand and shook his head solemnly.
"With only seven days, I'm afraid you won't be able to complete your mission at all."
"Why?"
"After listening to your explanations of those three questions, you will understand."
As he spoke, Michael waved his hand, and a tall and burly figure with skin as red as flames and deep eyes appeared on the long white jade square table.
This shadow is Satan!
Michael stood up, walked towards Lu Shaoyang, pointed at the shadow and slowly explained.
"Your first question is, what kind of existence is Satan?"
"In the past, he was indeed 'a person', but since that war, he is no longer 'a person', but a fusion of souls, a group name."
"The original Satan was defeated, but he did not die. Instead, he was broken into 1024 soul fragments. These 1024 fragments eventually became independent individuals. They can all be called 'Satan'!"
"But only seven of them inherited more of the original power of Satan, and eventually became the seven demon kings you are now familiar with. They are also the biggest representatives of Satan."
The shadows on the long white jade square table were directly transformed into pieces under Michael's control, and then arranged together, constantly merging with each other.
With the fusion without any rules, some soul fragments gradually grew larger, while others split into two again in order to save their lives.
In this way, the number of phantom fragments increases, and they merge and merge.
It stands to reason that no matter how they split and merge, the final size should not change in any way. What is unexpected is that all the fragments are constantly expanding, and in the end, they are almost full before they are completely merged into one. The entire white jade square table.
Looking at Michael's extremely vivid demonstration, Lu Shaoyang understood all this instantly.
"I roughly understand that if this is the case, then both missions have the restriction of killing Satan, so there will be no conflict at all."
"But I'm still a little curious. If these 1,024 soul fragments are fused together again, will the original Satan be resurrected?"
Michael shook his head.
"No, the original Satan no longer exists. Even if all the 'Satans' merge into one now, it will be a brand new Satan."
"Also, to correct you, there are more than 1,024 Satans in the world now. This number is only the number of his initial divisions."
As he said that, the shadow on the white jade square table changed again.
Shadows that exceed a certain size have the ability to divide again. They are like cells, constantly dividing and multiplying.
"Although these Satans have become individuals, they have the same ability as the original Satan. Once they are strong enough, they have the ability to split. The new 'Satan' that splits will eventually grow into a new one. individual."
Lu Yuwei, who had been listening, suddenly had a doubt.
"I don't quite understand why they are so keen on dividing themselves? This not only reduces their own strength, but also creates a new opponent. Do you feel that the gain outweighs the loss?"
Before Michael could speak, Lu Shaoyang looked at Lu Yuwei and explained slowly.
"Actually, this is very simple. Let me give you an example. Do you remember that we played a game before called "Ball Battle". In fact, the principle is very similar to it."
"When the size of the ball is large enough, the best option is to split into many small balls and let these small balls engulf and grow. After these small balls grow to a certain size, they can be swallowed back into the main body. This method , is the fastest way to increase one’s own size.”
"The same principle applies to Satan today."
