Chapter 1657: Chapter 1106: Just in Time_2
"Brave Lord, truly as you said, the Angels bear hostility towards us, but after all, with Angels and Demons waging war for so many years, without the Angels drawing the Demons’ attention, we humans..."
"What is there to fear."
Duanmu Huai disdainfully glanced at the Old Pope.
"I’ve already taken down five Archangels, so why would I fear three Demon Gods? Just wait, in a few days I’ll set out, first to deal with the three Demon Gods, then smash that damned Abyssal Forge. By then, whether it’s Angels or Demons, they’ll all get lost! From now on, you won’t have to worry about those damn troubles anymore!"
"This......"
Needless to say, hearing Duanmu Huai’s response left the Old Pope bewildered— a world without Angels and Demons? Frankly, he had never thought about such a thing. To humans, Angels and Demons were as given as the sun and moon. A world without Angels and Demons? What would it become?
"Without Angels and Demons, then...... what will we become?"
"You figure it out yourselves, what does that have to do with me?"
Duanmu Huai spread his hands, looking entirely justified—the Tribunal’s job is to expel and eliminate Aliens, your own issues, sort them out yourselves, why ask me?
It’s not concerning matters of life and death for humans, the Tribunal doesn’t care, isn’t concerned, doesn’t deliberate.
Though the King and Pope nearly spat blood from Duanmu Huai’s response, they had no choice but to nod. After all, this was originally their job. If the truth were to be unveiled to the public, it would inevitably cause unrest, even chaos, among the populace—just rumors of Angel attacks already made them rise up wanting to overthrow the Royal Family.
If told Demons and Angels are done for, and from now on, the world belongs to humans...... who knows what would happen!
Whether from the perspective of state governance or religious stability, careful consideration is necessary!
This situation causing sleepless nights for the two rulers, means nothing at all to Duanmu Huai.
What does it have to do with him, he’s merely doing the Tribunal’s work.
And thus you see, Judges are alienating because of this.
"......"
After this, the Pope and King hurriedly left, to ponder how to handle the upcoming situation. For most students, they treated it as hearing a story, since in Japanese light novels, games, and animations, Angels and Deities as final bosses isn’t surprising, making them the easiest to accept these stories.
Well, most, not all.
"Eh? Xiao Mao? What’s wrong?"
Seeing Tacheng’s little kitten sitting there pale-faced, Banriya curiously asked, poking Tacheng’s little kitten’s cheek with a finger.
"...... Banriya."
"Hmm?"
"The teacher wants to wipe out all Angels and Demons because their eternal war has caught humans in the crossfire."
"Hmm...... ah......"
Upon hearing Xiao Mao speak, Banriya nodded first, then finally reacted.
Is this different from their own world?
In their world, Angels and Demons were also at war, though due to both sides being exhausted decades ago, they chose to ceasefire!
If they hadn’t ceased fire......
"Once we return, I must report this situation to Lady Rias."
"Uh...... me too."
On the other side, Murasakifuji Ilina also silently wiped her sweat.
"Once I return, I will report to Lord Michael the situation."
In this world, the influence of Demons and Angels on humans was far greater than in theirs, resulting in Duanmu Huai, without a word, slaughtering all Angels, and next, planning to wipe out all Demons, because their eternal war has caught humans in the crossfire......
Though previously Angels and Demons had speculated that the Tribunal might act because of this, in this world, they actually did!
Without any hesitation!
They say kill, and they kill! Not leaving a single survivor!
"Our world shouldn’t have Crystal Domes or Abyssal Forges, right."
"Shouldn’t...... once I return, I’ll ask Lord Michael, I’m scared......"
At this moment, representatives of Angels and Demons, under Duanmu Huai’s tyranny, were already trembling, too frightened to speak.
High-order Heaven has been destroyed, this news...... luckily, or unluckily, hasn’t yet reached their opponents and enemies’ ears.
And in fact, at this moment, deep within Sakalam’s Temple, three figures were gathering there.
No need to ask, they were the three great Demon Gods ruling Hell, Mephisto the King of Hatred, Bhaal the King Of Destruction, and Diablo the King of Fear.
At this moment, Mephisto and Bhaal had resumed their demon forms, only the last one remained draped in a cloak, dressed as a human Traveler.
Not far from the trio, behind a column, a Wanderer was cautiously hiding in the shadows, watching the three.
"Brothers, we are finally reunited."
Mephisto raised his hands and spoke. It was somewhat ironic—Duanmu Huai and others had been in this world for quite some time, but only now did Mephisto finally unseal himself, returning to the world.
The reason is simple, as stated before, to travel from the Eastern port to Sakalam requires a ship, and it takes several months.
So when Duanmu Huai and the four Demon Kings were facing off, the Dark Wanderer, responsible for lifting the Soulstone’s seal, was still drifting at sea!
Ah, what can be done, it is a backward medieval civilization world after all.
Just when Duanmu Huai was laying waste to High-order Heaven, this Dark Wanderer, possessed by a Demon God, arrived at the Temple in Sakalam, lifted Mephisto’s seal, awakening this Demon God.
As Mephisto spoke, the previously empty Teleportation Portal was instantly cloaked in inky black darkness, gradually revealing a light reminiscent of burning Hellfire.
"The gates of Hell have opened, the ultimate victory is at hand!"
At this, Mephisto excitedly watched the ceremony before him.
"Then let the Hell’s Gate be opened!"
As Mephisto spoke, the other two Demon Gods also raised their hands, injecting their magic power into the ceremony before them.
"The evil once defeated shall rise again! It will disguise as man to deceive all living beings! Consuming their fear shall remain perpetual on the earthly realm! Fire will rain from the sky, the seas will be dyed red with blood! Countless creatures shall perish in the face of Hell’s flames like bone dust! Come, let it be opened, Hell’s Gate!!"
As the three Demon Gods raised their hands, the next moment, Hell’s Gate thus opened, and at the same time, the figure of the Wanderer clad in a cloak began to distort and transform, subsequently becoming a terrifying huge Demon in bright crimson.
"Revert to your true form, my brother!"
Seeing this scene, Mephisto also shouted aloud.
"We shall end this eternal war, let......"
"Boom!!"
However, before Mephisto could finish, the ceiling above his head suddenly collapsed, and a large black figure crashed down from it, landing directly on Mephisto. The poor King of Hatred didn’t even have time to react to what happened before turning into a pile of pulp.
"Sorry, I am late."
Duanmu Huai didn’t even glance at the soul beneath his feet, he merely hefted his War Hammer, turned his head, and looked around, noticing the opened Hell’s Gate made his eyes light up.
"Oh, it appears I’ve come just in time."
