Shadow of the Beautiful World

Wall Street, one of the largest investment companies in North America, the top floor of Black Light Investment Company.

The two mahogany doors of the office were closed.

Damon's follower and secretary is sitting on a chair outside the office. This young lady with a perfect face and figure is wearing black-rimmed glasses and is handling her work.

At the same time, guard the door for the boss and prevent irrelevant people from disturbing his meeting with his sister.

Satana had previously told Johnny, who had returned from hell, that she and her brother had reformed their ways in the past ten years or so.

But a long time ago, what the two of them did was enough to scare Johnny's soul out.

This is not just a self-promotion.

The brothers and sisters of Hellstorm were born very early. Their parents met during World War II, when Marduk, the lord of hell, met a human woman.

It's hard to say how much affection the gloomy hell lord has for that woman. In fact, perhaps the birth of the pair of brothers and sisters itself stems from a conspiracy by the devil.

Dimon and Satana were born around 1950, that is to say, these two guys are now old men and old ladies in their 60s.

When he was young, Dimon was an out-and-out junior high school youth.

He would like to be the leader of a cult, gather believers, and do some evil things that devils often do under the impetus of his own devil blood.

He has had many titles, among which the most popular one is Anti-Christ.

But later, before Dimon's mother died of illness, the mother and son had a long talk.

Maybe it's the greatness of maternal love. In short, after his mother died, Damon changed his mind, restrained his perverse style, and became low-key.

But Satana did not choose the same path as her brother.

She has been walking alone and does not resist the devil blood in her body, but she doesn't care much about the other half of human blood.

She is a very free girl, both good and evil.

In fact, when Satana first participated in the matter related to Merlin, that is, the incident that led to the death of Constantine due to the coming of the Three Palaces, she was still working for her own devil father.

Justice or evil, this is not something that Satana will consider when making a decision.

Silver of Judas... troublesome stuff.

In the luxuriously decorated office, Damon Hellstorm, wearing a neat black uniform, lined with a white shirt, and combing his hair shiny, definitely looks like a powerful half-demon of a successful person. He is frowning at this moment .

He picked up the deformed silver bullet on the table with tweezers and placed it in front of his eyes.

A sharp light danced in Damon's black eyes.

He said:

Heaven doesn't care about this thing, and the princes of hell don't plan to take it in, but neither side will allow this thing to fall into the hands of a third party.

And now, it's not only lost, but even worse, it's been weaponized.

Damon raised his head and looked at his younger sister who had a tangled face.

He somewhat hated iron and said:

You are really stupid, Zatanna threw this thing to you, will you take it?

A seraphim and a team of high-ranking angels died under this weapon, which will inevitably trigger heaven's revenge, and hell may also be involved...

It's such a hot thing, such a tricky thing, it's too late for others to avoid it! Now, with the two of us, we can't handle it.

You speak nicely!

Satana folded her arms, which made her already full breasts appear even more magnificent.

She curled her lips and said disdainfully to her brother:

Merlin has been busy tidying up his wasteland recently, and is also busy forming hell's robot army. He has no time to investigate this matter at all.

Even if Zatana gave this thing to Merlin, he would definitely turn around and leave it to us.

Damon was silent for a moment, he stroked his chin and said:

Indeed, that's what you said.

After Merlin returned with the second piece of hell, it is already a certainty that the children of hell will join the battle of supremacy. In the current situation, we are all prosperous and all are lost.

But my silly sister, it's not as simple as you think.

The half-demon looked at the deformed silver bullet in front of him, narrowed his eyes and said:

There are 30 pieces of Judah's silver, and only one piece fell into our hands. This piece killed a high-ranking angel.

To be honest, if I were the main messenger behind it, I would never use the silver of sin to hunt down those ordinary angels.

It might just be a weapons test.

Dimon leaned back in his comfortable chair, pinched the deformed bullet with his fingers, and said:

Think about it, silly sister, when 30 pieces of silver are gathered together and reshaped into a powerful weapon, who will the person holding that terrifying weapon target?

Archangel?

Satana frowned and thought about it, she said:

The Silver of Judas only sounds powerful, aren't you and I familiar with its details?

Its power is definitely not enough to kill life at the level of the Lord of Hell, and the next level is the archangel or the demon king of hell.

Although such a result is terrifying, for the endless war between heaven and hell, the loss of an archangel or a demon king of hell will not cause a decisive reversal of the strength of both parties.

The words of the female half-devil made Damon nodded.

Satana's judgment was very accurate. The upper limit of the lethality after the 30 Judas Silver was molded into a weapon was almost at this level.

But the real trouble with the matter wasn't who was dead, or who was about to die.

Damon rubbed his forehead with a headache, and said:

Having said that, when will this murder happen?

Human history has left us with enough lessons. On a suitable occasion, even an insignificant bullet is enough...

In the middle of Damon's words, a lightning thought jumped into his mind.

That terrible guess made Damon's face change drastically.

Let this conspirator who has always been calm and steady stand up from his chair immediately.

He looked at his younger sister, and Satana also looked at his brother whose face changed drastically with a surprised look.

This stupid girl's brain circuit is not suitable for thinking about such a foggy conspiracy.

I know what the leader behind it is going to do!

Damon looked at the bullet in his hand, gritted his teeth, and said to his sister:

I'm going to find Merlin now. If my guess is true, then the two of us will never be able to deal with the follow-up of this matter!

Satana, you go back to Marduk Hell immediately.

He lowered his voice and told his sister the opportunity, he said:

Don't have any psychological pressure, just treat it as an ordinary return home.

Go back and talk to the old man. Of course, remember to go back with your eyes... Pay attention to see if there are any special changes in the old man's hell.

Dimon said:

For example, a sudden conscription, or the Hell Demon King under its command becomes active, or a few inconspicuous hell legions suddenly gather.

This is very important, Satana, any clues must be recorded.

Satana's expression changed.

With a touch of complaint, she said to her brother:

I don't want to go back.

Every time I go back, that old bastard tempts me, you know what it wants to do... I don't want to be a funeral object for it to compete for the king of hell.

Just this once.

Damon stretched out a finger, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, he patted his sister's shoulder, and said:

When Merlin gathers his legion and Liana's Limbo recovers some vitality, we can go back dignifiedly and drag that old guy off his throne!

Sister, the Son of Hell has become powerful, just be patient, and we will be free soon.

It's not that I don't trust you, brother, it's not that I don't trust Merlin, and it's not that I don't want to contribute to our organization.

A trace of worry flashed in Satana's big fiery red eyes, and she said:

I'm just afraid that if I go back this time, I won't be able to get out.

she says:

The battle for the king of hell has already begun, and the old man must have thoughts in his heart.

Maybe this time, it won't give me the right to choose. Maybe this time, it will forcibly revive the devil's blood in my body.

There was a tremor in Satana's voice, and her body shook.

she says:

I don't want to lose my mind and become the devil king of hell who only knows how to kill and destroy, and become a monster driven by it.

Then come with me to see Merlin!

Damon sighed, he took his sister's hand, and he said:

Maybe that guy can figure out a way to get the best of both worlds, and he has to figure it out too!

Walk!

———————

A few minutes later, in front of the gate of hell in the wasteland hell, the brothers and sisters of Damon pushed open the door, and when they stepped into Merlin's wasteland, a loud hiss sounded in the hazy sky.

With the landing of Victor, the spirit of the raven, orange sparks danced in the air, and the halo quickly formed Merlin's body.

He hovered in the air, wearing that dark and mysterious robe, and the vivid dark red raven landed on his shoulder, tilting his head and looking at the two familiar guests.

A rare visitor.

With a smile on Merlin's face, he spread his arms and said to Damon and Satana:

Welcome to the Raven Wastes...my brother, and my sister. You look sad, why? Have you got into trouble that you can't solve?

It's our trouble!

Dimon is no nonsense.

The always gloomy half-demon threw the silver bullet in his hand to Merlin, and he said straight to the point:

Your woman brought us this, do you know what it is?

Silver of Judas.

Merlin spread his five fingers, and the deformed silver bullet was suspended in his palm. He said:

Zatana told me everything, but the lethality of this thing is not as good as it is said in the legend...

It's not the problem in itself, Merlin! It's time for it to appear!

Damon stepped forward, staring at Merlin, and said in a serious and cautious tone:

Remember? One more week...the day of the Armistice Covenant will arrive!

Um?

Merlin blinked his eyes, and he motioned for Damon to continue.

Every time a truce is called, hell and heaven draw a truce somewhere on earth.

Damon stood beside Merlin, and he spoke out his guess.

He said:

All angels and demons are not allowed to enter the sacred truce zone, and only representatives of both sides can chat and talk there.

But about the armistice zone, there is another secret that only the Lords of Hell know!

Dimon paused and said:

My old man told me and my sister a long time ago.

Heaven is at a long-term disadvantage in the eternal war. After all, there is only one God, and there are many hell lords, and there will be super-level demons such as Sangong in hell.

So the establishment of the Millennium Covenant is actually an 'insurance measure' for this war. Heaven and hell seem to be fighting lively now, but neither side intends to go to war in an all-out way. Now they are just maintaining the ancient 'tradition' .”

However, once the truce zone is attacked, Heaven will regard it as a signal of a full-scale war between the two sides. They will gather their forces and then launch a devastating counterattack against a random hell.

This is a deterrent, but the lords of hell are not in the same mind, so this deterrent has been very useful in the past countless times.

When Dimon said this, Merlin already understood.

There was a serious gleam in his blue eyes as he watched the silver bullet levitate in his hand.

He said:

A weapon reshaped by 30 pieces of Judas silver is enough to kill the archangel who is the representative of heaven.

The destruction of the truce agreement will temporarily withdraw the forces of heaven from all battlefields, including the human world. This means that the lords of hell will have enough time to tear apart the dimension and fully invade the world.

The Lord of Hell who leads this crazy plan will absorb the fear of the entire world, which also meets the requirements for victory in this battle of the King of Hell.

So before Heaven's counterattack comes, hell will give birth to a real king of hell.

Merlin's tone became more and more dignified:

The disorganized hell will be integrated. In the ensuing all-out war, there is a high probability that heaven will be defeated, and the newly appointed king of hell will also have enough reasons to suppress other princes and build himself through war. stable rule.

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, and he played with the bullet in his hand.

He pondered for a moment, then said in a low tone:

This is a huge disadvantage to us and we must stop...or take advantage of it!

give me sometime...

Facing such a big event, I need to make a plan.
