Hell is a place opposite to heaven in various myths and legends. According to legend, the souls of evil people will fall into hell, be burned by endless flames, and experience various painful punishments. This is what they do in the world.
Pay the price for the sins of your lifetime.
The hell in DC is similar to the hell in myths and legends, but it is not exactly the same. It is not responsible for punishing sinful souls. However, all souls who have signed a contract with the devil or cannot enter heaven will be punished.
Enter here.
DC's Hell is also somewhat different from Marvel's. Marvel's Hell is actually a dimension. Moreover, the Hell dimension calls itself Hell, but it actually does not have any fixed responsibilities.
Mephisto calls himself the Lord of Hell and the only Satan in the world, but in fact, he is not the Lord of Hell, nor is he the only Satan.
Mephisto can call himself Satan, and demon gods from other dimensions can also call themselves Satan. This is not an official title, it is just a self-proclaimed name. The dimensions they own are only their own territory, not some public place.
The souls they take in are just their own collection and belong to the Lord of the Dimension.
DC's Hell assumes a certain amount of public power. It is responsible for taking in souls that cannot ascend to heaven or dissipate on the spot. At the same time, the demons in Hell can also make deals with humans and use various means to
Such conditions in exchange for the ownership of their souls.
At the same time, the change of power in DC Hell is very complicated. In addition to Lucifer, there are also many other beings who have become Satan, the real Lord of Hell.
First of all, I have to mention the First Fallen. The First Fallen is God's first creation, God's partner, and the embodiment of God's conscience. But one day, he felt that God was crazy and was unwilling to be with him anymore.
, so he was exiled to hell by God.
The reason why he is called the First Fallen 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, and the first fallen ones assigned their rights to them, forming the trinity of hell. Until the arrival of the fourth fallen person, Lucifer Morningstar, broke the first fallen one.
The Reign of the Fallen.
Lucifer is God's favorite son. After he had a dispute with God, he fell to hell. He immediately drove the First Fallen from the position of Satan and became the ruler of hell.
And he also gave his power to some demons, including Beelzebub, Azazel, Belial, etc. Among them, Belial is one of the most ancient 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 Etrigan, and the other is the famous magician Merlin.
Everyone knew what happened later. Lucifer was tired of living in hell, so he ran to the world every few days, and even opened a bar on the west coast.
He just slapped his ass and left, but hell turned into a mess. Originally, the rule of the trinity of Satan was relatively stable. Although various powerful demons still divided the territory and ruled, if any big thing happened, it was Satan who had the say.
Have the final say.
But Lucifer, who had the highest force value and was the most able to convince the crowd, ran away. The rule of the Trinity was missing one leg, the thickest thigh. It was inevitable that someone would be ready to take action.
On the one hand, Maizi, who temporarily takes Lucifer's place, has to run to the world every day to persuade Lucifer to come back quickly. On the other hand, he has to stare at hell and suppress the big demons who harbor evil intentions. It can be said that he is busy without touching the ground and full of heart.
Messy.
But this suppression could only last for a while. Eventually, Archduke Astro launched a rebellion, hoping to break the trinity of Satan and become the only Satan.
When Schiller jumped off the cliff, there was still a war in hell. Archduke Astro gathered several other powerful demons and were attacking Beelzebub's territory. Azazel was worried about Bile's attitude and kept
The other side was restraining him, while Billie had been in a wait-and-see state, but many of his demons were already ready to move.
Constantine only saw Schiller falling into the endless flames of hell, but precisely because of the endless flames that obscured the situation in hell, what he did not see was that the position where Schiller fell was very clever.
On the front line of the war between Archduke Astro and Beelzebub.
At that time, the demon armies on both sides were ready to go. The lava demon raised his arms and roared. The shadows gathered into a burly and strong black giant. The hell sandworm emerged from under the ground. The sali demon with eyes all over his body floated among all the demons.
above his head, monitoring the situation on the battlefield.
The two sides looked at each other in the air, and the shouts of killing echoed between the hills and deserts of hell. As long as the generals of both sides gave an order, a big battle would break out.
But at this moment, the thick clouds of hell suddenly opened a gap, and the light of the flames was projected from top to bottom onto this dark and desolate land. Meteors fell with sharp winds, and countless ancient demons
Looking up from the shadows, this scene reminded them of the fallen morning star long ago.
With a loud "boom", a sharp arrow pierced the ground of hell, and a huge gap opened in the entire ground. When the rumble of the earthquake spread, almost all the demons were a little unsteady.
After the smoke and dust dissipated, the demons took a closer look and found that it was a tall tower reaching the sky, standing crookedly in the center of the battlefield.
As the most genius mage in a century, Constantine, when borrowing power from demons, would not look for soldiers like this on the battlefield. The lowest level he would look for was also a demon lord.
Schiller's announcement to repay Constantine's debt was also a deal with the demon lords and had nothing to do with these big soldiers charging on the battlefield, so they didn't know what was going on.
Some people may wonder why Schiller's soul was not divided when he fell since he had already reached a deal with all of Constantine's creditors. In fact, it was precisely because of the special form of his soul.
In the eyes of demons, most human souls are just small, soft snacks that can be enjoyed by just grabbing them and popping them into your mouth.
The demons who originally came to collect debts also thought the same way. When they heard that someone wanted to pay off Constantine's debt, they were disdainful at first and thought it was a fantasy. It was not that the demon lords did not communicate with each other at all. All the demons knew about Constantine.
How much debt is owed?
This kind of debt cannot be repaid by one or two people at all. Even if Constantine can deceive a few demon lords and split his soul to pay off the debt for him, it may not be able to satisfy the creditor's appetite.
However, the person who conveyed this information 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 Lord of Hell's long-term absence, they still recognized Lucifer's strength, so
, they were also very curious about this man who spoke wildly.
Therefore, most of the demon lords came to the designated place to watch, just to see which song Lucifer was singing.
However, when Schiller and his soul tower appeared on the cliff at the edge of hell, all the demon lords were boiling. They saw endless evil there, like a heart condensed by countless souls.
A brilliant gem.
All the lords were dazzled by such light, and they felt that this gem would be the most dazzling jewel in their crowns after they were crowned as Satan.
There is no demon who does not want to become Satan. Archduke Astro has already taken action, and war is inevitable. In this case, whoever can acquire this sword at this point in time will naturally be able to increase his power and obtain more.
odds of winning.
If you want to get this special soul, you must be 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 the soul is transferred to the soul in the process,
Take it away and devour it immediately, and no other demon can take it back.
So, the moment Schiller fell, countless hands stretched out towards him, and then, all the demon lords were stunned.
The person who jumped down was a human, but when it flew into the air, it turned into a high tower, and this high tower also had an extremely hard shell. Countless demons' claws scratched the high tower, sparking and lightning all the way, but they didn't stop it.
The tower fell into hell.
Schiller's thinking palace plunged into the ancient and solid land of hell, not only recreating a great rift valley in hell, but also becoming hell's version of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. More importantly, it made the original war situation break out.
It has become a little more subtle.
The reason why Astro dared to attack Beelzebub was because he wanted to pick a soft persimmon. He didn't have the guts to directly attack Lucifer's palace, and then bet on whether Lucifer would come back from the human world to attack him, so
, attacking Beelzebub's territory was his method of testing.
Originally, everything went smoothly. Astro gathered a lot of troops and approached the border of Beelzebub's territory. Beelzebub did not have any overreaction. He just gathered the demon army on his border and the two sides faced off.
After a few days, the gun finally went off and we were ready to officially start the war.
But at this time, Lucifer suddenly sent a message to hell that someone could pay off Constantine's debt. All creditors gathered at the edge of hell to receive their share of investment returns.
Astro and Beelzebub also have debts from Constantine, but they haven't had much dealings with Constantine. To put it simply, they have never been cheated by Constantine and have no deep grudge against him. No.
Eager to recover that debt, they would go to limbo just to see Lucifer's attitude.
But they didn't expect that the fallen soul was really valuable, so Astro and Beelzebub also wanted to intercept it, but failed. When they turned around, they found that this sweet and savory soul had just fallen.
At the junction of their territories, and behind them, were the greedy eyes of countless demons.
At this time, Astro and Beelzebub suffered a serious blow. Schiller's stunning appearance not only left a deep psychological shadow on Constantine, but also aroused the appetite of most demon lords.
The souls of the vast majority of humans can only fit between the teeth of demons. If there are enough, they may be enough to eat, but they are not delicious. The souls of humans who are born with magical talents are very delicious, but
The portion is not big enough, you won't be full at one meal, you can only taste it.
But Schiller is different. He not only has quality, but also quantity. In addition to rich emotions, a large number of sins and good deeds, and countless stories, he also has extremely full soul energy, like a sumptuous meal.
When Astro and Beelzebub discovered that this huge pie had fallen on their heads, their first reaction was not to order the army to swarm up, but to immediately order all demons to stop moving and stay away from the tower.
They all understand that this will be their best bargaining chip to win over allies and teammates, but the prerequisite is that they must first capture the tower's sphere of influence.
At the same time, in the tower, Marvel Schiller stood by the window, looking at the menacing demon army at the end of the skyline, sighed, and then said:
"I've said it before, that guy is the most petty Schiller in the world."
