"How could you... You are a supreme being and have your own responsibilities in the multiverse."
Even though Lucifer made it very clear, Morpheus still couldn't imagine that a supreme leader could resign?
This has never happened since the creation of the universe.
Even though he doesn't like busy work, he never wants to give up his responsibilities.
At most, he extracted all the essence of power and made three artifacts to help maintain the normal operation of the dream kingdom, and he was happy and contented himself.
"Meng, we met a long time ago, before I entered hell." Lucifer sighed and asked, "Tell me, what kind of person am I when I am still an angel in Silver City?"
Morpheus recalled for a moment and said in a complex tone: "You are the morning star, the sharp light that cuts through the darkness.
Your name is 'Samer', you are the most beautiful and proudest among the angels.
Your wisdom makes the gods admire you, you are full of enthusiasm, and the world becomes more dynamic because of you."
"Really..." A trace of confusion flashed in Lucifer's golden eyes, but the confusion quickly disappeared, replaced by a touch of bitterness and deep exhaustion.
"Yes, that's me! I almost forgot what I was like before. But look at me now, what have I become?"
He opened his hands, and his broad fallen black wings were like two dark clouds, covering half of the sky in darkness.
Morpheus was silent for a moment and said: "You are still strong."
"Hahaha, powerful, hahaha..." Lucifer raised his head and laughed wildly, his eyes slightly moist, "Samer of Silver City is also very powerful. Have you ever used 'powerful' to describe him?
It's pitiful and pitiful that now I have fallen to the point where I only have the humblest feature of 'power'."
"You are still very proud and wise." Morpheus said.
"Will the angel Summer tolerate the witch Harley? Are you and Constantine alive?" Lucifer asked with a smile.
Morpheus thought for a moment and shook his head slightly.
The angel Lucifer cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes.
Lucifer added: "Of course, Witch Harley, Constantine and you are not the main reasons for my current choice. My tolerance is not that narrow.
If I'm willing to put in some effort, I can kill you in ten thousand ways."
Morpheus was noncommittal. If he was really ambitious, he would not even say it with his mouth.
Moreover, he, Harley, and Constantine are all still alive. Ten thousand ways to kill them sound very unconvincing.
"Why is that?" he asked.
"Because of it!" Lucifer pointed to the sky and sighed: "I once thought I was resisting.
challenging its dominance.
I was wrong, so wrong.
I'm just a small link in its great plan.
It's not even an essential part.
If I don't stand up and resist, others will come out to replace me, such as Gabriel, such as Micah - well, that deep and cunning bastard may see through all this earlier than me, Uriel and Raphael
You have a higher chance of standing up than He does.
Hell needs the Lord of Hell, and the Lord of Hell is what it uses..."
"Forget it, I'm out, I won't expose it anymore, so as not to cause trouble and force the resignation letter to be returned." Lucifer smiled and took out a key that was as sharp as a serrated sword and said to the Sandman: "I want to seal the door.
Now that you've left hell, you definitely don't want to be left here alone, right?"
He flew in front, and Morpheus silently followed behind.
He watched Lucifer use the key to close one door after another.
Many gates to hell originally showed no trace and were always wide open. It was not until the key was inserted that the wooden gates, the flesh gates, the bone gates, the stone gates...were revealed, revealing the space behind them.
separated.
Every time a door is closed, even someone as powerful as Morpheus can no longer sense the space behind the door.
It was locked, and space travel was completely cut off.
He remembered the purpose of coming here and couldn't help but ask: "Where have the undead here gone?"
"Sent away, to the human world, Limbo, the Shadow Realm (limbo), or the distant unknown realm, who knows? Anyway, I don't care."
"Nada is free?" Morpheus asked.
Lucifer came to the last huge door that looked like the wall of the world, turned back and smiled strangely at him, "Do me one last little favor, and I'll tell you."
"you say."
Lucifer said: "Wait a moment and let me close this door."
The two doors made a creaking sound that made hell shake slightly, and slowly closed from both sides to the middle.
At this time, not even the devil...even the two Satans Belial and Beelzebub can no longer enter the interior of hell.
It has been sealed into an independent, closed dimension - the state before Lucifer led one-third of the angels in heaven to fall, a state of existence and chaos, vaguely knowable but untouchable.
"Why choose today, when I arrive? If you don't care about Nada and blame God for the decision." Morpheus wondered.
"I do all this because of God and because of my own choices - I want to live a life of freedom of choice.
Well, I'm here for freedom, real freedom of choice, not the bullshit "I'd rather be the king of hell than the servant of heaven" - only fools want to come to hell if they have the choice to go to other places.
Those demon gods from other dimensions who are obviously free but only focus on going to hell are all fools."
Harley in Mengjunzhi's dream really wants to complain: "Why don't you eat meat?" If you can live a good life at home and the salary is not low, who would want to go to a big city and be looked down upon and be a hard worker?
If you had the strength to be as arrogant and arrogant as you, and not afraid of the liquidation of magic power or the oppression of foreign enemies, anyone else would definitely become a local overlord of the God's Domain.
Lucifer continued: "However, your arrival gave me motivation and made me determined to make a decision that I have thought about for millions of years, hesitated for thousands of years, and planned for more than ten years."
Harry's heart moved. The amount of information in Lao Lu's words was quite large!
He had obviously considered clearing the warehouse and running away.
So, the complete separation from Xiao Heidou ten years ago was not an accident?
No, more than ten years ago, Little Black Bean once said that its independent personality began to form a long time ago, and Lucifer was taking the initiative to fight with it...
Ten years ago, because she became a demon, Lao Lu had to merge with Xiao Heidou again, but that merger also allowed Xiao Heidou to get some indescribable "essence" from him.
Let it mature completely, then awaken in the second year, and finally the "giant beast crisis" breaks out.
In other words, the old road had long been abandoned, and God's "great plan" was aborted. It was she who stepped in, indirectly helping God and helping Him kick the old road of running away.
Go back, this...
Harry was horrified and moved. In the past, Lao Lu was always a pawn in God's black hands.
So is His current resignation also part of God’s plan?
In other words, on God's chessboard, Lucifer, who is 'free' after leaving the field, is still functioning as a chess piece?
——To understand this, just continue to observe Lucifer. If he is happy and carefree and becomes fat like the God of Thunder next door, he is probably truly free; if he continues to be trapped in inexplicable busy work, it will be even harder than when he was Satan.
And his hard work is directly or indirectly beneficial to God, then...
Compared with God's little black hand, Lucifer's casserole-sized iron fist seems not so scary.
Harley actually began to sincerely wish Lucifer: Please be happy in your life after leaving office!
"Boom!" The door to hell was completely closed.
In the empty void, only two supreme beings were left floating in front of the huge gate.
"Oh, I just made a mistake." Lucifer smiled meaningfully, "It's not you. It's you who gave me the motivation to make changes today."
"We?" Morpheus's face changed slightly.
"Come out, in my eyes, you are as conspicuous as a cockroach on white rice." Lucifer stared into his eyes and said.
Although he said it to Morpheus, it obviously didn't look like he was talking to him.
"I'm the only one here." Morpheus said calmly.
He hid his dream deeper, and Harley held her breath and shrank herself even smaller.
Lucifer sneered: "Are you humiliating me? Do you think I can't even sense my own mark?"
"Oops, something happened to the 'Satan Punishment Array' on my body. I didn't expect that He could still detect it through the dream dimension and the supreme sea of consciousness."
Harley sighed helplessly and jumped out of Morpheus's dream.
Boss Lu has already said everything clearly, and if he pretends to be dumbfounded again, he not only seems disrespectful, but also not generous enough.
"Hey, brother Lucifer, I have admired you for a long time, and have been friends with you for even longer. Today I can see my true face. It is indeed majestic, majestic, awe-inspiring, and a talented person..."
Harley activated the God's force field, half a body behind Morpheus, and avoided facing Lucifer face to face. She smiled, her tone was sincere and gentle, and she flattered him for a full minute and a half.
"Brother?" Lucifer sneered with narrowed eyes.
"Brother, I know that the 'God Boss' has officially adopted me as a 'little sister'." Harley said proudly.
——I didn’t call you ‘eldest nephew’, which is enough to give you face.
Well, although the Dog God now has no choice but to admit that he is the boss of Harley, this ‘boss’ is not ‘big brother’, but BOSS. Harley’s correct name for Lucifer should be “Master Lu”.
If Lucifer was polite, he would call her "Aunt Harley" in return.
Well, it's like the masters and butlers in ancient TV dramas... Well, the Celestial Dynasty didn't exist a few decades ago, but recently there were servants and masters, but the servants were replaced by the more pleasant-sounding "professional butler".
"God...Boss..." Lucifer gritted his teeth and chewed, chuckled and nodded, "Very good, very good."
"Whoa!" After saying that, he suddenly pulled out a sharp dagger two fingers wide and five feet long from his waist, and waved to Harley, "Come here."
Harley shrank back half way behind Morpheus, and said with a forced smile: "It's a great day for me to get out of trouble, so it's not a good idea to use a knife, right?"
"Don't worry, this hell blade won't stab you." Lucifer sneered.
How could Harry feel relieved and asked again: "What do you want to do?"
"I swear, I won't hurt you today." Lucifer Tai'a held the sword upside down and handed the handle to Harley.
Since Lao Lu expressed his stance like this, Harley didn't want to show any timidity. She walked over slowly and took action like lightning to catch the Hell Blade.
Except for the increasing sneer in Lao Lu's eyes, there were no accidents.
There was no embarrassment on Harry's face, and he smiled very naturally: "Why do you give me the knife?"
Lucifer turned around, faced her with his broad fallen angel wings, and said, "Help me cut off the wings."
