Fifth Hell Styx Swamp

Passing through the fourth floor of hell, if you take a boat and go down the slowly flowing Styx River, in addition to seeing the residential buildings along the bank, you can also see a ravine washed by boiling and sloping springs ——Since the demon king Lucifer led the trinity of angels to rebel and fell from the sky, thousands of years have passed, and the deep and shallow ravine that once branched from the River Styx has now become a vast swamp.

Thus formed the present-day Styx Swamp.

The Styx Swamp is located on the fifth floor of Hell, facing the River Styx that almost runs through the Nine Hells. After passing through this swamp, you can see the entrance to the city gate leading to Pandimaninan. The statue of the seven monarchs, and then down the Styx, you can enter the central city of hell-the Temple of the Devils, where the Seven Lords of Hell headed by the devil Lucifer live.

Since the Styx Swamp began to take shape, the muddy swamp has bred many new low-level monsters. It is said that Feneus, one of the 72 demon gods, was born in this swamp. He is proficient in debating and is a well-known representative of Hell in handling diplomatic matters—and in fact, half a month ago, the person who got in touch with the Lord of Hell in the form of a confidential document and promptly reflected the current situation of the Fifth Hell was exactly this person. An eloquent great devil.

In fact, the situation is indeed urgent.

Compared with other places in Hell that has begun to take shape, the Fifth Hell can be said to be the most boring and unattractive place. Even if it is located on the ninth floor of the edge of Hell, you can still enjoy the huge Kochi Tusi Glacier Lake and the beautiful glacier and snow scenery.But the fifth prison has nothing, no busy docks, no boats coming and going, and no bustling streets that can be seen everywhere in the Temple of Demons. It has almost become the only symbol for people to know that they are still in hell... So the Styx Swamp has almost become the representative "landscape" of the fifth hell-but now, it seems that it will continue to boil and risk forever. The Styx Swamp with viscous bubbles turned into a dry land. Large pieces of mud at the bottom of the swamp dried up and cracked due to lack of water, and a large number of creatures living in the swamp died. On the fifth floor, no matter who passes by now, they can vaguely smell a bit of unusual lifelessness, as if this swamp with special significance has become a pool of dirty stagnant water.

At the end of the swamp, at the entrance of the city gate leading to Pandimaninan, the statue of Samael, the lord of the fifth hell, is still a collapsed ruin, set off by the other six huge statues standing on both sides of the Styx River. Under the circumstances, it is difficult for people not to care about its current state.

A crow covered in black flapped its wings and circled down from the gloomy sky, and landed lightly on the white skeleton left by the lowly fish devils at the edge of the dry and cracked swamp. The crow flapped its wings, a pair of blood-red eyes Sweeping across the swamp, which is currently in a terrible state, turned around—the next second, the place where the crow was originally was replaced by a tall man with a pair of beautiful eyes of different colors , even when he is expressionless on weekdays, the corners of his eyes are still slightly raised, which makes people unconsciously feel a daunting sense of indifference and alienation.

The man walked along the edge of the swamp silently for a while, with lingering gloom and silence in his eyes.It wasn't until he heard the rustling of the grass behind him that he stopped and turned around. When he glanced at the dazzling red hair of the person coming from the corner of his eye, he seemed extremely disgusted, and immediately took his gaze back. .

"Since you have made up your mind to let Alice go back to hell, why should you suddenly waver at the end." Someone who came uninvited followed the man's pace, seeing that the other party didn't seem to care about him, he was making fun of himself Scratching his head and chin with his little finger, he said in a very boring voice, "I thought you would just ask Leviathan to bring him back this time."

Speaking of this, Mamen finally saw the man walking in front move. His steps paused slightly, and when he spoke, his voice was a little hoarse and low. He really answered the question: "The situation in the fifth prison is better than I imagined. Worse still, before witnessing it with my own eyes, I was still hoping that Furneus was trying to trick me back."

Trick you back?Who doesn't know what you are doing in the world, if something really happened, who would dare not spoil your good deeds, and you won't be squeezed to death by you in the future... The big red-haired devil following the man's buttocks twitched his lips He raised his hand and pinched the sparkling emerald earrings on his ears, and lit a candle in his heart for his innocent colleague who was lying on the gun. He leaned behind the man and continued to chatter: "Although I am very opposed to it." You do this, but that’s from a personal point of view—from a business point of view, there is nothing wrong with your decision. You see, you can’t let others come to hell and see this piece of death before they reach the main city. Rotten fish and shrimp...uh..."

Feeling the gaze of the man who turned his head and glanced at him casually across his body, Mammon almost bit his tongue when he spoke—he felt that he should shut up, and according to the man's not salty or not From a casual glance, it seemed that he meant to shut him up, but... After thinking about it, he decided that it would be better to finish what he wanted to say——

"We can already foresee a not-so-good future, and we need to save it before it gets worse, Your Majesty." At this point, the red-haired devil changed his sloppy tone before, and carefully used honorifics, "Anyway Stretching the head is also a knife, and retracting the head is also a knife. If you can't wait for Alice to die naturally as a human, even if you delay it for two or three months now, in addition to making the situation in the Fifth Prison worse... I I feel that Alice should hate you, and will continue to hate you to a certain extent."

After Mammon finished speaking, she closed her mouth, and was ready to reincarnate.

However, the man not far away from him, who has always turned his back to him, did not get angry or ridiculed. After a moment of silence, he turned around and looked at him, raising his eyebrows: "Is it finished?"

"...It's over."

"Your tone sounds quite happy, I hope this is my illusion."

"..." Mammon touched his face, feeling that he had covered up the schadenfreude or elation in his words well, but unexpectedly, he still exposed it. He cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, you can't be so contradictory." "I think back when you led a large group of angels to kill and stir up troubles above, you never saw you so indecisive and unable to let go-the latter sentence must not be said, so the red-haired The demon obediently cut it off in his mouth, and swallowed it back into his stomach.

Hearing this, the man who was called a "contradiction body" raised his foot and crushed a skeleton beside his foot.

Amidst the bone-crushing sound of "click" and "click", the red-haired demon only felt that it was not the skeleton that was crushed, but his neck.

Mammon: "..."

Lucifer: "I turned a blind eye and let him go to the world, hoping that he would calm down and stop sticking his nose and eyes at me."

Mammon: "..."

Lucifer: "In the end, after waiting for so many years, not only did I not let him calm down, but I wanted him to come back even more angry than when he left."

Mammon: "..."

Lucifer lowered his eyes and sighed: "This business has lost a lot of money."

It is rare in a thousand years to see His Majesty the Demon King sighing like this. After appreciating this spectacle, the big red-haired devil suddenly felt that the matter was not so "cracking" in his mind. He came forward to bring Alice back and then took advantage of Alice's rage again, but after thinking about it, it turned out that the reality was much skinnier than the plump ideal--what he wanted, the man in front of him certainly wanted--and as The ruler of hell for thousands of years has been managed more and more day by day. The well-organized hell shows that the man in front of him cannot be the master who just watched himself do hard work and let others take advantage of him.

The more he thought about it, the more something went wrong. Just when the red-haired demon was about to use the excuse of urgency to run away, he suddenly heard the men around him start counting their names: "Belphegor, Beelzebub, and Leviathan are all fucked!" , Asmodeus has other business affairs and can't get away recently, you think, who should bring Alice back this time?"

Stared at by those strange-colored pupils, the red-haired demon who felt that the little calculations in his heart had been shattered all over the ground suddenly broke out in sweat: "...you can choose any of the 72 pillar demon gods, and they will be happy to solve your problems— —”

"Don't be stupid, son." The man suddenly raised the corners of his lips, and said gently, "Your father's mad sickle has awakened. Do you think who else can defeat him except the Seventh Monarch?"

"..."

Whose fault is it that the Mad Demon Scythe awakened! ! !

Whoever is hesitant to do things and not rush to kill them all just finishes the work, halfway through the work and pushes them to a higher level, throws away the mess and pats his wings and leaves! ! !

Poor Leviathan, the cute little girl was beheaded by the scythe, it hurts to think about it! ! !

"Son, aren't you just planning, now you have nothing to do with yourself, and after I get the angry Alice back, you can take advantage of the situation and pick up a ready-made bargain, right?" The man is not in a hurry. Slowly showing an amiable smile, as if he didn't see the face of the red-haired devil in front of him twisted into a ball, "I don't think you can do such a low-level calculation——this kind of thing is not fair to snatch a partner from others." This kind of thing sounds more like Asmodeus' style."

Crying in his heart, "I'm just such an idiot", the red-haired devil struggled for a long time, showed a smile uglier than crying, nodded, and replied with blood on his face, "That's definitely not possible."

"So this time it's your turn."

"what?"

"Release Alice from the human body and bring him back."

"what?!"

"I think this arrangement is very reasonable. Looking at the whole hell, apart from me, you are the only one who can directly compete with your father in terms of strength. No matter what, Leviathan is a female demon, Belphegor is getting old again , Beelzebub is a great magician, how can he be serious with him in such a restrained environment in the world—"

"... That fellow Asmodeus is also a berserker."

"I've already said that he's not free. I arranged for him to go up there recently and talk about the fact that there are often archangels hanging around the junction of hell and heaven like flies recently."

When was "..." "arranged"?Just now? 1 minute ago?Or a second ago?

"After the matter is completed, I will sign your application for the right to develop the ice field of the Ninth Prison—ah, last time I heard from the people below that a kind of origin energy crystal with rich magic power was found under the ice lake. Whether it is made into accessories or directly excavated from rough stones, if they are transported to places in the sky where resources are relatively scarce and the ethnic group itself prefers the magic system, the price will be doubled."

"..."

"However, the scenery in the Ninth Prison is pretty good, and many young people like to go there for a date—the last time Asmodeus played ice and fire with his female partner there, it sounded pretty good when he introduced it to me. Haven’t tried it yet... Leaving this aside, I think that if it’s not necessary, it’s not necessarily necessary to develop the ice lake and destroy the scenery for resources, after all, the Temple of Demons is not short of money now—”

"I go."

After the red-haired devil finished speaking, he finally bit his own tongue hard this time.

At the same time, the man with a smile on the corner of his lips paused, stretched out his hand, and patted the shoulder of the demon who was almost as tall as himself in front of him: "Thank you, son, bring your father home, We haven't spent Christmas together in years."

"……………………"

At this moment, the red-haired devil who was blinded by profit for a while and jumped down with his eyes closed just wanted to scream up to the sky—Your Majesty, it’s been a thousand years since your old man came down from the sky and you haven’t had any shit Christmas Oh, don't make trouble! ! !

The author has something to say: Greed begins...

There will definitely be a lot of lust chapters, but I have to think about how to finish it in a low-key way, it really kills brain cells.

Friends, don’t worry about not being able to see what happened after Alice returned to hell. As I said before, arrogance and rage are a composite chapter, and it will no longer be a strange story in a dream-return to reality-fight the boss. In order, when the time comes, the development scene of the entire sub-volume will be after returning to hell...

That is to say, Luo Xiu, who is a human being, will receive the protagonist's bento (.

Well, no more spoilers, anyway, I am so hungry and thirsty for the bloody development behind hell! ! ! ! ! !
