Chapter 969 Battle for the Tower (I)

Hell, a place opposite to heaven in various myths and legends, is said to have the souls of wicked men fall into hell, burned by endless flames, and experience various painful punishments. This is the price they are paying for their sins before their lives.

The hell in DC is similar to the hell in myths and legends, but it is not exactly the same. In fact, it is not responsible for punishing sinful souls. However, all souls who have signed contracts with demons or cannot enter heaven will enter here.

DC's hell is also somewhat different from Marvel. Marvel's hell is actually one dimension, and the hell dimension calls itself hell, but in fact it does not have any fixed responsibilities.

Mephisto called himself the Lord of Hell and the only Satan in the world. But in fact, he is not the Lord of Hell and nor the only Satan.

Mephisto can call himself Satan, and other dimension demons can also call himself Satan. This is not an official title, but a self-proclaimed title. The dimensions they have are only their own territory, not some public place, where the souls they keep are just their own collections, belong to the Lord of the Dimension.

DC's hell bears a certain amount of public power, and it is responsible for taking in souls that cannot be ascended to heaven or dissipated on the spot. At the same time, the demons in hell can also make transactions with humans and use various conditions to exchange for the belonging of their souls.

At the same time, the power change in DC hell is very complicated. In addition to Lucifer, many other existences have become Satan, the real Lord of Hell.

First of all, we have to mention the first fallen one. The first fallen one is God’s first creation, and the companion around God is the incarnation of God’s conscience. But one day, he felt that God was crazy and did not want to be with him anymore, so he was exiled to hell by God.

The reason why he is called the first fallen man is because he was the first creature to come to hell. At that time, he became Satan, the true ruler of hell.

Later, there were the second and third fallen ones, who gave them the power to them, forming a trinity of hell, until the arrival of the fourth fallen one, Lucifer Morning Star, broke the rule of the first fallen ones.

Lucifer was God's favorite son. After he had a dispute with God, he fell to hell and immediately drove the first fallen person from Satan's position and became the ruler of hell himself.

He also distributed his power to some demons, including Bezeb, Azazel, Bile, etc. The one to be introduced specifically is Bile, who is one of the oldest demons in hell.

Perhaps his name is not well known, but his two sons are very famous, one of them is the anti-hero demon Edgegan, and the other is the famous great magician Merlin.

Everyone knew what happened later. Lucifer was tired of staying in hell, so he ran to the world every few days and opened a bar on the west coast.

He patted his butt and left, but hell was in chaos. Originally, the trinity Satan's rule was still stable. Although all kinds of powerful demons were still divided, Satan had the final say about what big things happened.

However, Lucifer, who has the highest military power and is the most convincing, ran away. The trinity rule lacks one leg, and the thickest thigh is inevitable that someone will be ready to move.

On the one hand, Maizi, who temporarily took up Lucifer's position, had to run to the world every day and persuade Lucifer to come back quickly. On the other hand, he had to stare at hell and suppress those great demons who were ill-intentioned. It can be said that he was busy and his feet were not touching the ground and his heart was full of confusion.

But this suppression could only last for a while. In the end, Grand Duke Astrod launched a rebellion, hoping to break the situation of Satan's trinity rule and become the only Satan.

When Schiller jumped off the cliff, there was still a war in hell. Grand Duke Astro gathered several other powerful demons and was attacking Bezebu's territory. Azazel was worried about Bile's attitude and kept restraining him on the other side, while Bile was in a wait-and-see state, but many of his demons were ready to move.

Constantine only saw Schiller falling into the endless flames of hell, but because of this endless flame that obscured the situation of hell, what he did not see was that Schiller fell very cleverly, and he happened to land at the forefront of the war between Grand Duke Astro and Bezebub.

At that time, the demon army on both sides was ready to go. The lava demon raised his arms and roared. The shadow gathered into a burly and strong black giant. The hell sandworm emerged from under the ground. The Salie demon, covered with eyes, floated above the heads of all the demons, monitoring the situation on the battlefield.

The two sides looked at each other from a distance, and the shouts of killing echoed between the hills and the desert of hell. Just waiting for the orders of the generals of both sides to a great war will break out.

But at this moment, the thick clouds in hell suddenly cracked a gap, and the light of the flames projected from top to bottom onto this dark and deserted land. When the meteor fell, it was with the sharp sound of wind, and countless ancient demons raised their heads from the shadows. This scene reminded them of the fallen morning star a long time ago.

With a loud "boom", a sharp arrow pierced into the land of hell, and a huge gap was cracked on the entire ground. When the rumbling sound of the earthquake spread, almost all the demons were a little unstable.

After the smoke and dust dissipated, the demons looked carefully and found that it was a tower that reached the sky, standing crookedly in the center of the battlefield.

As the most genius mage in a century, Constantine would not look for such soldiers on the battlefield when he borrowed power from the demons. The one he was looking for was the lowest level.

Schiller declared to pay off his debts for Constantine, and he also reached a deal with the demon lords. He had nothing to do with these big-headed soldiers charging on the battlefield, so they didn't know what was going on.

Some people may wonder, since Schiller has reached a deal with all Constantine's creditors, why did his soul not be divided when he fell? In fact, it is precisely because of the special form of his soul.

In the eyes of the demons, most human souls are just a ball of small and soft snacks. Just grab them and stuff them into your mouth and enjoy the delicious food.

The devils who originally collected debts also thought this way. When they heard that someone wanted to pay off the debt for Constantine, they first disdained it, thinking it was a fantasy, and the demon lords did not communicate at all. All the devils knew how much debt Constantine owed.

This kind of debt cannot be paid off by one or two people at all. Even if Constantine can deceive a few demon lords and split his soul to pay off his debts for him, it may not be able to satisfy the creditor's appetite.

However, the person who sent this message was Lucifer, who had not shown up for a long time, but was still the Lord of Hell. Although many demons were dissatisfied with the long-term absence of Lord of Hell, they still recognized Lucifer's strength. Therefore, they were also very curious about this person who spoke wildly.

Therefore, most of the demon lords came to designated locations to watch, just to see which Lucifer sang.

But when Schiller and his soul tower appeared on the cliff at the edge of hell, all the demon lords were in full bloom, where they saw endless sins, like a brilliant gem condensed by countless souls.

All the lords were fascinated by such light, and they felt that this gem would be the most dazzling jewel in the crown after they were crowned Satan.

No demon does not want to become Satan. Grand Duke Astro has already taken action. War is inevitable. In this case, whoever can obtain this sword at this point in time will naturally be able to improve his strength and gain more chances of victory.

If you want to get this special soul, you naturally have to take one step ahead and intercept it. After all, Schiller fell from the edge of hell, and there is still a certain distance from the edge of hell to hell. As long as you take away the soul and swallow it immediately during this process, other demons will not be able to take it back.

So, at the first moment when Schiller fell, countless hands reached towards him, and then all the demon lords were stunned.

The person jumped down, but when he flew into the air, he turned into a high tower. The tower also had an extremely hard shell. The claws of countless demons scratched the tower, sparks and lightning all the way, but he couldn't stop the tower from falling into hell.

Schiller's palace of thinking plunged into the ancient and solid land of Hell, not only recreating a great rift in Hell, but also becoming the Hell version of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. More importantly, it made the originally about to break out a little subtle.

The reason why Astro dared to attack Bezebu is simply that he wanted to pick a soft persimmon. He didn't have the courage to attack Lucifer's palace directly, and then went to bet whether Lucifer would rush back from the human world to hammer him. Therefore, attacking Bezebu's territory was his method of temptation.

Originally, everything went smoothly. Astro gathered a lot of troops and approached the border of Beethibu territory. Beethibu did not react violently. He just assembled the demon army on his own border. After a few days of confrontation, the two sides finally got fired and were ready to officially start the war.

But at this time, Lucifer suddenly sent a message to Hell, and someone could pay off his debts for Constantine, and all the creditors went to the edge of hell to gather and receive their own investment returns.

Astro and Bezebu also have Constantine's debt, but the two have not had much dealing with Constantine. Simply put, they have not been cheated by Constantine and have no deep hatred with him. They are not in a hurry to recover that little debt. They will go to the edge of hell, just to see Lucifer's attitude.

But unexpectedly, the falling soul was really valuable. So Astro and Bezebu also wanted to intercept it, but failed. As a result, when they turned around, they found that the hot cake just fell to the junction of the two territories, and behind it were the greedy eyes of countless demons.

Now, Astro and Bezebu are severe. Schiller's amazing appearance not only left a deep psychological shadow on Constantine, but also aroused the appetite of most demon lords.

The souls of most human beings can only be filled with teeth for demons. If there are enough quantities, they may be able to eat enough, but they are not delicious. Humans born with magical talents have a very fragrant soul, but the amount is not large enough. If they cannot eat enough at one time, they can only taste it.

But Schiller is different. He not only has quality, but also quantity. In addition to being rich in emotions, a large number of sins and good deeds, countless stories, he also has extremely abundant soul energy, like a rich meal.

When Astro and Bezebub found that this huge pie fell over their heads, their first reaction was not to order the army to rush forward, but to immediately order all the demons to stop moving and stay away from the tower.

They all understand that this will be the best bargaining chip for them to win over allies and win over teammates, but the premise is that they must first take the sphere of influence of the tower into their pocket.

Meanwhile, in the tower, Marvel Schiller stood by the window, looking at the fierce army of demons at the end of the skyline, sighed, and said:

"I've said that guy is the smallest Schiller in the world."
