A few hours ago, it was the ninth level of hell, the kingdom of the inner dragon, the king of hatred.
Above the smoky lava lake, two chains hung from above, passing through the lute's bones, hanging a "big lemure" with deformed wings.
Its body was twisted into a rice dumpling by a thorn covered with barbs, and two "lizard demons" crawled and bit at it.
The Lizard Demon has the head of a dragon, the body of a mouse, the triangular tail of a demon and the wings of a bat.
Although it is only over one meter long, its teeth are extremely sharp. Each bite can break through the scales of the "Big Lemo" and penetrate three-thirds of its flesh, dripping with blood.
The big lemure was burned by the magma pool, its skin was cut by poisonous thorns, and its flesh was sucked by the lizard demon. It suffered the most miserable torture every minute and every second, and it kept making heart-rending screams:
"Inner Dragon, I curse you! I am 'Lucifer Desire', and I have the destiny of the Lord of Hell! Your torture to me is just the source of my strength growth. Inner Dragon, I swear, one day I will
You knead it into pieces~"
Uh, it is the former Bull Archangel Asmodeus, now the Fallen Angel Lucifer Desire.
On a high mountain ten kilometers outside the magma pool, the throne of the Demon King Inner Dragon was erected.
"Asmodeus, I will give you a chance to declare to hell that I am the Lord. I will release you immediately and use my power to rebuild a pair of wings for you, the real wings of a fallen angel." Neilong held the wine glass.
, shouted from a distance.
"Absolutely!" Lucifer Desire refused without hesitation, "Neilong, you can't hide the stench of worry and fear emanating from your body. You are afraid, afraid of my rise!
Hahaha, I am driven by desire. As long as the sinful desires of living beings in the world, heaven, hell, and all living beings continue, my power will continue to grow every moment.
It is unbelievable that the witch Harley's Judgment has such a powerful "power of destiny", and she is indeed favored by the Dog God.
Now I am no longer Asmodeus, I am Lucifer Desire.
I am the embodiment of sinful desires, I am Lucifer, the son of hell!”
"Fake!" Neilong said with a sullen face and smashed the wine glass in his hand.
The scarlet wine flowed, and two big demons who served the Demon King immediately rushed over, licked and gnawed the rocks stained with wine and swallowed them into their bellies.
"Your Majesty, just kill it to avoid future troubles." A rickety ancient demon suggested.
Although it is less than one meter tall, has a bald head and a hunched back, and looks like Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings", it is more powerful than most demons.
It is the first inhabitants of Hell.
If the angels hadn't fallen, if the fallen angels hadn't been an entire legion, the ancient demons would be ruling hell now.
"He is a fallen angel no matter what"
At the beginning of the fall, the fallen angels made a "sacred brotherhood oath" among themselves: they are brothers, they can fight among themselves, but they cannot kill each other.
Neilong sighed and stamped his feet irritably. From the corner of his eye, he quietly glanced at the foot of the mountain and the edge of the magma pool.
He only glanced at it, then immediately looked away, pretending to be troubled and lowering his head in deep thought, with a sarcastic flash in his golden eyes.
"Forget it, out of sight is out of mind."
Neilong straightened his green cloak and ordered the ancient demon: "Go out with me. An interesting soul happens to be praying to me. Follow me and collect him."
"Neilong, just wait for me. One day I will come to hell and be crowned king."
Lucifer Desire, who was hanging above the magma pool, didn't even notice that the inner dragon had left with a large group of people, and he kept yelling and cursing.
It also has enough power to curse.
Originally, it was just a lemure with almost no divine power. When it first landed, it couldn't even stand firmly.
The wings on the back are also inferior and fake, with feathers glued onto the ribs.
But after falling into hell, due to the judgment of heaven, it received some kind of authority and blessing. The key is that the "New Bible: Heaven Rebellion Chapter" in the human world (the Garden of Eden) was widely spread. Its power became stronger day by day, and the demon ranks were broken through one after another.
If it weren't for the ban of the inner dragon, which greatly restricted its growth, Lucifer would at least be a demon king at this moment. He could easily become a demon king within ten years, and he could also occupy a top position among the fallen angels in hell.
Now that Lucifer Morningstar has resigned, Belial, the King of Lies, has been sealed by the Sandman, and Beelzebub, the Lord of Flies, has disappeared, it may not be impossible to compete for the position of "First Fallen Angel".
"Bah~"
Suddenly, a big hand with yellow fine scales stretched out from the magma pool and crushed the lizard demon lying in Lucifer's armpit biting his breastbone.
"Who rhymes with Etrigan?"
The fallen angel lowered his head alertly, and saw a familiar head in the magma pool below, Etrigan, son of Beelzebub, Lord of the Flies!
"Hey, man, I don't know when Neilong will come back. Let's make a long story short. I want to make a deal with you. I will give you a chance to regain your freedom, and you have to swear that everything you do from now on will be done in my name.
." Etrigan emerged from the magma pool and said quickly.
"What do you want to do?" Lucifer asked in surprise.
"Do you want to make heaven a river of blood?" Etrigan asked.
"certainly."
"Do you want to destroy the Earth that witnessed all your humiliation?" Etrigan asked again.
"One day I will destroy it." Lucifer gritted his teeth in desire.
Etrigan smiled, "Needless to say, you must want to tear the Witch Harley and the inner dragon apart."
"No, I won't kill Witch Harley. I will drain her of her strength, break her arms, insert them into her back, and then throw her off the Falling Platform! The pain I have experienced will be repaid tenfold.
"
"Very good, this is what I want to do, we can become golden partners!" Etrigan said.
"Why? You seem to have a relationship with the witch Harley, and you also combined with the mortal Jason Blood to become a magical superhero." The fallen angel asked doubtfully.
"Friendship is friendship, and interests are interests. As a devil, of course interests come first," Etrigan said.
"What benefit?"
"You don't need to know that our transaction is limited to your freedom, and my thoughts and purposes have nothing to do with you." Etrigan said.
"No, I won't make any kind of deal with you until you make it clear." The fallen angel said firmly.
Etrigan frowned and said: "You are in a difficult situation now, and my request is not too much. You can retaliate against anyone you want, but you will only act in my name during the period.
Why are you fussing and hesitating? The worst-case outcome could be worse than now."
"Hmph, Witch Harley's request for that day was also simple." The fallen angel sneered.
Etrigan was speechless, "How did our deal involve her?"
"I'm not a fool, of course I have to learn from past failures."
You were bitten by a snake once and have been afraid of ropes for ten years. You were tricked by the Witch Harley and you have a psychological shadow.
Etrigan looked around and said quickly in a low voice: "I swear on the name of my father Beelzebub that I have no ill intentions towards you, but on the contrary, I have great benefits.
Don't hesitate, I have been planning for half a month to get close to you, and finally found this opportunity to get close to you.
Missing this time will be a huge loss to both of us."
Hearing him swear by his father's real name, the fallen angel also hesitated, "Please reveal a little bit about your next plan."
Etrigen gritted his teeth and said: "I am a guard of Satan and know many of Satan's secrets. This generation of Satan has fallen."
"Lemuel and Duma? How did they fall?" the fallen angel asked strangely.
"Shh, don't call them by their names. Forget it, I guess they won't care." Etrigan sighed and said, "They have a gender."
"What's so strange about this?"
"Two lonely hearts come together." Etrigan said vaguely.
The fallen angel tasted it for a long time before reacting, and exclaimed: "Old God Fake's ass, are they getting together? (ps)"
"Stop talking nonsense and make a contract with me quickly!" Etrigan urged.
"Well, you have proven your sincerity by even revealing such a secret to me, but I still don't understand your reason." The fallen angel said.
"Why aren't you in a hurry?" Etrigan asked anxiously.
"The biggest lesson Witch Harley taught me is that whenever big things happen, you need to stay calm, don't panic, and act steadily. If I hadn't been greedy for speed, I would never have come to the world in my true form and been bitten by a group of mortals."
In the "original time and space" without Harley, Asmodeus also fought against the Justice League.
He almost single-handedly swept through Zhenglian. Even if he was injured later, he immediately and wisely evacuated the world of "Low Frequency Pages".
In Limbo, he could recover from his injuries in an instant, and was not afraid of injuries or one-to-many group battles.
In the end, He continued to fight all the way to the main hall of the Golden Palace, to the "throne" of God, and it was very fierce.
Therefore, Asmodeus himself is not a fool with no merits, it is simply because Harley is too deceptive and turned a heavenly hero into the laughingstock of the world.
Etrigen had no choice but to explain: "The authority of the new Satan comes from heaven. If they fall, the authority will pass away. Hell will usher in a new era of heroes competing for hegemony!"
"Oh, I almost forgot. Those two angels did not fall, but were leading God's errands. Now that they have fallen, they will lose their identity and status in heaven, and the authority of hell given by heaven will naturally be gone."
Lucifer Desire looked at the Rhyming Demonic Way seriously: "You want to gain the authority of hell by causing trouble, you want to be in power!"
"What demon wouldn't want to rise to power?" Etrigan asked.
"Even if I agree to be your subordinate"
"You are not a subordinate, you are a partner." Etrigan waved his hand to interrupt him, "You are not willing to be a subordinate, and I have no intention of reaching the top in one step."
A look of satisfaction appeared in the fallen angel's eyes, "Very good, we can continue talking."
"What are you talking about? Swear quickly, time waits for no one." Etrigan said anxiously.
"Tell me your plan."
Etrigen said: "Are you sure you want to say it here? No matter how bad my plan is, at least you can be free, which is at least tens of thousands of times better than your current situation."
Lucifer's lustful face showed a twisted look.
"Actually, it's quite comfortable like this," he hummed.
"What?" Etrigan thought he was hallucinating.
"It's probably a new divinity, no, my divinity has been transformed into a demon. The ability to look at demons allows me to feel the lumpiness and strength during the whipping of my flesh."
"Fak" Etrigan's expression was distorted, and he subconsciously took a few steps back.
"Forget it, you are already very sincere, I swear immediately!"
Lucifer Desire was also a little embarrassed and hurriedly made an oath to go to hell.
Etrigan untied his chains and said: "You must know the ghost. He is the combination of the mortal spirit and the spirit of God's vengeance. The previous mortal spirit was Jim Corrigan. He had been a ghost for nearly a hundred years and finally died in the middle of the century.
I retired a few months ago after my success.”
Lucifer Desire moved his hands and feet a few times and asked doubtfully: "So?"
"The spirit of vengeance is waiting for another soul to join it, and the Stranger is looking for it in the world. This is the perfect opportunity to gain access to the power of God's wrath."
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
(ps: Don’t say I’m blasphemous. In the comics, those two guys are really awesome. Neil Gaiman’s painting style and lines are really good. I personally think they’re quite beautiful. Unfortunately, they reveal too much, and they’re not very good.
Harmony cannot be published for everyone to see.
In addition, the big event this time is "Judgment Day".
In the original comics, Judgment Day is a major event that cannot be avoided because it is the prelude to the resurrection of Green Lantern Hal Jordan.
In this fan fiction, Hal is not dead at all, so its functionality is reduced by half.
Well, Ghost Out of Control also serves another purpose: a prelude to Infinite Crisis.
Because ghosts are the backbone of d’s miraculous power. The specific reason will be discussed later.)
