"Lord of Creation" is the title of the great Creator.
Even the gods above the stars still find it difficult to glimpse the true face of the Lord of Creation.
However, Lucifer had witnessed with his own eyes the arrival of the 'Lord of Destruction and Reincarnation' into the world.
That is when [the end] comes.
At that time, in order to resist this catastrophe, the gods of the medieval era put aside their past grudges and joined forces to form an alliance, but to no avail.
Under the iron-gray sky, the earth was dyed red with flames and blood. The gods aloft fell like meteors. The dusk was vast and the setting sun looked like blood.
Lucifer and other demons also participated in this battle. Just when she was desperate, her eyes reflected the black wings covering the sky.
That is the 'Lord of Destruction and Reincarnation'. Her black wings are covered with the corpses of gods, her body is surging with the fire of hell, and she is roaring towards the [Doomsday].
Lucifer can no longer remember the subsequent scenes...
All we know is that after the destruction of the world of the gods, a new reincarnation began, which is the era of mankind.
And now.
The man in front of him, wearing pitch black armor, actually took out a contract that had the aura of the 'Lord of Destruction and Reincarnation'!
The silver-haired demon looked up, his eyes flickering, feeling both the humiliation of defeat and horror.
‘Obviously he is a human being, but how can he be connected with the ‘Lord of Creation’!’
Lucifer's thoughts were complicated, and he was even guessing what kind of conditions this human being would put forward.
"The conditions are simple."
Lin Xiao was obviously wearing a helmet, so his expression couldn't be seen, but his tone and demeanor were clearly "laughing", and his smile was quite kind:
"Lend me the full version of "The Power of Pride"."
Following Lin Xiao's words, ancient words automatically appeared on the parchment-like [Black Dragon Contract], entwined with mysterious dark source power.
It seemed that as long as the devil agreed to the terms, her power would be shared by Lin Xiao.
Lucifer felt better when he heard that it was not a "master-servant contract".
But when he thought carefully and was silent for a moment, his face turned ugly.
borrow?
What you are doing is clearly called robbing!
You have 'borrowed' half of my original power.
Now you want me to ‘borrow’ your other half?!
"impossible."
Lucifer was pressed under the giant meteorite, but still held his head high and said coldly:
"Let's not talk about whether you can withstand the power of original sin. My strength has not yet been restored. If I lend you the power of original sin, how am I different from an ant?"
Without the power of original sin, Lucifer can reach the seventh level with just his sword skills and physical fitness, which is equivalent to the limit of human beings.
Although it can be recovered over time, it is still difficult for this 'Son of the Morning Star' to accept.
"It doesn't matter if you don't accept the conditions." A cluster of dark flames ignited in the palm of the heavy sword man, "I can beat you until you accept the conditions."
To be honest, Lin Xiao didn't have the confidence to kill the Arrogant Demon God.
But Lucifer's domain has been shattered, and another fight will likely attract federal soldiers.
The worst thing is not to use the "power of arrogance" and assist the federal soldiers to seal Lucifer again.
But in this way, there is a risk of being benefited by the federal fisherman... This is Lin Xiao's worst plan.
Lucifer was silent for a long time, looking at the man with the epee with a deep gaze, not to mention hatred, but more like considering the conditions.
Not long after she woke up, all her energy was used in the field of display, and the holy spear she threw was dodged by Lin Xiao using the [Destiny Pocket Watch].
If you encounter human encirclement and suppression again, you will probably sleep forever again.
To the arrogant silver-haired demon, this was like being bitten to death by a swarm of ants, which was both humiliating and unacceptable.
On the contrary, agreeing to the conditions of the heavy sword man is equally humiliating, but at least it is much better than the previous situation.
What's more... Lucifer frowned... The aura of destruction on his body made me very concerned!
"I don't know where you got this contract, but I know that the contract of the 'Lord of Creation' is like a scale, which emphasizes fairness and exchange."
Lucifer said coldly: "What can you use to 'exchange' the power of my original sin?"
Lin Xiao pondered for a moment.
He knew that he couldn't push Lucifer too hard, otherwise he would jump over the wall in a hurry and no one would benefit.
Gathering the devil's wool requires a sustainable way of fishing.
It is much more convenient to contract with the devil to continuously provide yourself with the power of original sin than to search for devil altars all over the world.
Qualified capitalists should squeeze the devil, so they still have to spread the pie and talk about blessings!
"I can make you a promise." Lin Xiao said seriously: "For example, sooner or later, I will reunite you with other demon gods..."
Qiao Linna listened to Lin's nonsense behind her and pursed her lips.
He is actually, really deceiving the devil?!
The so-called 'reuniting the demon gods' doesn't mean that you want to provoke other demon gods!
The silver-haired demon was thinking seriously and murmured: "A promise..."
"I don't need friends, and naturally I don't need reunions."
Lucifer paused and raised his eyes: "As for that promise, I hope you will find the truth about [the end of the world]."
Lin Xiao frowned and said:
"You've been talking about it just now, what exactly does the end mean?"
The silver-haired demon shook his head: "Even gods don't know much, but you are different."
"You have the aura of destruction, and you also have the token of the 'Lord of Destruction and Reincarnation', so..."
Lucifer's eyes flickered and he whispered: "You are easier to access than me, the 'Lord of Creation', and can discover more truths."
She spoke evasively, and Lin Xiao could only understand it half-understood.
It can be seen that Lucifer's humble attitude was not only due to defeat, but also affected by the black dragon's token.
How to say...
Lin Xiao still prefers her unruly look.
I feel a little unaccustomed to the arrogant devil with such a sincere attitude.
As for the so-called doomsday.
Could it be related to ‘Twilight of the Gods’?
Lin Xiao knew that this was a major event in the Middle Ages. After that battle, the gods disappeared from the world, and then humans suddenly rose... It was like the world had started a new reincarnation.
At first, Lin Xiao just wanted to return to Central Continent and live an ordinary life.
But now, as he continues to explore the realm of seventh level and above, there seems to be a whirlpool pushing him to make a choice.
Lin Xiao frowned slightly and said, "Is there a time limit for the investigation [Doomsday] you mentioned?"
Lucifer stared deeply at the epee man and asked: "Does time have meaning?"
Lin Xiao was startled.
"Time is nothingness." Lucifer sneered: "I don't expect you to find the truth, but if you can, I can wait until you come back to see me and fulfill the contract."
Time is nothingness...
The man with the heavy sword looked up at the sky, and the name of the silver dragon Khaos, 'Lord of Time and Nothingness', came to his mind.
In the long river of time, everything loses its meaning.
But because there is a node called [Doomsday], finding out the truth about that node makes everything make sense.
"Anyway, I won't survive the end of the world." Lin Xiao said in her heart: "Just promise Lucifer and then investigate slowly."
"I promise you." The heavy sword man nodded solemnly, "I will find the truth of [Doomsday] within my ability."
"Word game?" Lucifer smiled indifferently, closed his eyes and sighed: "It doesn't matter... I promise to lend you the original "power of arrogance"."
The silver-haired demon emphasized the pronunciation of "borrow" and continued: "And provide necessary help for the investigation of [Doomsday]."
Lin Xiao smiled contemptuously.
When to borrow strength and when to repay it, isn’t that all my decision?
Lines of text appeared on the parchment, and there were various other details, such as 'Demons are not allowed to harm humans at will', 'are not allowed to interfere with Lin Xiao's actions', etc.
The Arrogant Demon God disdained to pursue the regulations line by line, so Lin Xiao drafted them. Of course, he was biased towards humans and himself.
The advantage was not taken too far, and it was recognized by the [Black Dragon Contract].
The sheepskin scroll was burned to ashes with the black flames, and some changes occurred in Lin Xiao's fire.
There is an additional mythical card called [Black Dragon Contract] in the fire.
The specific appearance is like a dark and thick illustrated book, with a golden legendary card in the upper left corner of the illustrated book.
"The Arrogant Demon Lucifer" (contracted)
[Contract effect: Obtain the "Power of Pride" of the same level as the source power. You can summon it by paying the same price. 】
Lin Xiao was slightly startled.
Good guy, it suddenly became a mobile trading card game!
So is the Demon God also a character that can be drawn in the "Card Master's Guide"?
Therefore, during the card duel, the cards people summon are kittens and puppies.
I'll take a chance and take a photo of [Arrogant Demon God]?
Lin Xiao could feel that the "power of arrogance" within the fire was even stronger.
Now it is immune to mental attacks of no more than eight levels, and has an additional 'mental pressure' effect.
It can be said that compared to the weak Lucifer, Lin Xiaocai at this moment is more like the 'Arrogant Demon God'.
Of course, Lucifer's "power of arrogance" will continue to recover over time, and he will slowly return to the eighth-level realm.
Lin Xiao thought to herself, I must grow faster than her in order to maintain the suppression of the Arrogant Demon God.
With system plug-ins, this is not difficult.
What's more, besides Lucifer, I also have the wool of other demons to harvest.
In addition, where Lucifer is needed, you can also use [Black Dragon Contract] to summon this demon...just pay attention to the consumption of source power and avoid being backlashed.
"The contract has been made, I will never attack you again."
The silver-haired demon was ashamed to speak, and said slowly: "Can... move... the meteorite away first?"
The epee man nodded, the fire surged into black flames, and he stretched out his hand towards the meteorite.
The planet-like meteorite gradually floated, its outer shell turned into particles of light, and the meteorite sword at its core flew back to Lin Xiao's hand.
"Where do you plan to go?" Lin Xiao asked.
The silver-haired demon stood up and said coldly: "You don't need to worry about these things, I will act in accordance with the contract."
To be honest, Lucifer knows nothing about the human era.
She didn't even bother to ask Mammon, the Demon God of Greed, for help.
But it doesn't matter.
Even if he falls into the dust and mixes among the ants, the Arrogant Demon God is still confident of returning to his throne.
The premise is... Lucifer glanced at the epee man with a complicated expression.
Try to have as little contact with him as possible.
The silver-haired demon's expression was as arrogant as ever, but her aura was much weaker. She looked at Lin Xiao and said coldly:
"Finally, I'll give you a piece of advice. If you want to investigate the [Doomsday], you can start with that skeleton."
Lin Xiao was startled: "Skeletons?"
He remembered the holy skeleton he saw at Tulip Academy, which had colorful mythical qualities and was called the "Immortal Skeleton".
Lucifer frowned, as if remembering, and whispered:
"That's not just a holy skeleton. Even I don't understand the existence behind it..."
"Wait a minute!" Lin Xiao said, "Isn't that bone in your hand?"
Tulip's holy bones were stolen, so they were used as Lucifer's resurrection material!
Lucifer stared deeply at Lin Xiao and said coldly:
"Who knows..."
Suddenly, she unfolded her six dark wings and disappeared into the dawning sky.
Lin Xiao stayed where he was, thoughtfully.
[Immortal Skeleton] is not in the hands of the Arrogant Demon God.
I remember that there was a high probability that the person who stole the bones was the Demon God of Greed.
In other words... Lucifer instructed me to look for mammon?
Is this a scam, or is the relationship between the demons inherently bad, or... does she really just want me to find the truth about the [Doomsday]?
Jolina looked at Lucifer's disappearing back and frowned:
"Is it really okay to just let her go?"
"We can't kill her either..." Lin Xiao said, "I have the means to restrict her, and I can guarantee that she won't wander around in the human world. That's enough."
No matter how arrogant Lucifer is, he still has to abide by the contract established by the "Lord of Creation".
In addition, being able to summon the Arrogant Demon God through [Black Dragon Contract] can also be regarded as one of my trump cards.
"Yeah……"
The girl breathed a sigh of relief, her face showed exhaustion, and she said softly:
"So, this matter is settled?"
"not yet."
Lin Xiao looked around the Federal Historical Park, which was almost in ruins, and murmured:
"You have to find an excuse first..."
*
"Yesterday, Jolina Jones of Honeysuckle College won the three-school league championship, setting a new historical record..."
"I'll break the morning news for you. A rare earthquake occurred in the Casa Federal Historic Park, with an intensity of over 7.0, and the earthquake was strongly felt in surrounding cities..."
In the investigation team base, Chu Yun was holding a cigarette in his mouth, watching the morning news on TV, and looked back:
"Have you contacted Lin Xiao?"
"Not yet." Sigrid said dejectedly, "The earthquake was obviously related to him..."
"He won't really meet the devil and then have a conflict with the devil, right?" The secretary looked at Chu Yun and said worriedly.
Through the smoke, the man's eyes flashed and he remained silent.
The team leader determined that the damage to the Federal Historical Park was related to the duel between powerful card masters. In order not to cause panic, he claimed to the public that it was caused by an earthquake.
However, the card master who caused the earthquake has not yet been found...
Chu Yun guessed that it was Lin Xiao. Last night, Lin and Qing Kui went to track down the card master and lost contact all night. The next day, news of the collapse of the historical park came...
If they really met the devil...Chu Yun clenched the cigarette case tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white.
