The gluttonous dragon starts from the plane of hell

Chapter 287 A brave man is a man of courage
"What's the current situation in the Northern Territory?"

"..."

Regarding the words of the Archangel of Judgment, the Ex-Machina who was staying quietly in the cage slowly opened his eyes: "It's not bad... It's really an amazing place."

Through the iron fence, Manaris could clearly see the surprise on his face, and that emotion was genuine.

"A building suddenly appeared in front of me, and at the same time...a crossbow."

The Ex-Machina said, connecting to other bodies in the Northern Territory at the moment, and sharing with Manaris who came to visit him: "The crossbow appeared on the city wall out of thin air, using inexhaustible arrows. Defeated high-level enemies..."

Although the opponent's level cannot be said to be very high, and the effect is more of suppression than attack, it is still amazing.

He originally thought that [equipment] of this level could only be seen in the main city of the dwarves, that is, Waxais.

Even the Northern Territory omitted the [construction] step.

"Is this so? Then maybe the world can have a good ending."

Manaris commented simply, with a very gentle look in his eyes: "However, Nesta found me and told me that the Northern Territory was in some trouble."

Regarding Manaris's words, the Ex-Mechanic who knew this happened raised his head: "Yes, it seems that he is going to conflict with one of the Seven Lords."

The other party is a demigod.

Although he said this, the Ex-Machina himself was not too worried about this, because the Northern Territory was too outrageous.

For that demigod, the Northern Territory has many solutions.

Regardless of their various kinship relationships, the Secret Cult will not just sit idly by because of their identities as Demon King and Hero and Semu Nananoshima.

For example, now, Nesta has found Manaris for help.

"The possibility of the Fallen King personally going to the main plane is very low, just like me... all that can come down is just a single shell."

Manares said, he seemed less reassured than the Ex-Machina: "But I'm not sure how strong that king's shell is."

The Ex-Machina was a little shocked by Manaris's words.

"Aren't you going to help the Northern Territory? Even if you only cast your clone?"

Looking at the stunned Ex-Machina, Manaris did not answer directly, but asked the other person: "Are you willing to go?"

are you going?
Such a simple question confused Jikai. He looked at the cage in front of him and the iron bars that separated the two people: "Are you serious?"

Saying this, the Ex-Machine smiled: "Besides, I have long forgotten what my own name is, and others have long forgotten how to call me."

The meaning of this sentence is... He has lost the power he had before being a demigod, and no one believes in him anymore.

Now he may not be much stronger than a regular professional.

What's more, he is just a prisoner now... using his freedom in exchange for the continued existence of the Ex-Machina to atone for the sins of the entire race.

Just such a prisoner.

Seeing what the Ex-Machina meant, Manaris nodded slightly, then stretched out his hand and slowly drew a cross in front of him with his fingertips.

The pure white light stayed in the air, faithfully reproducing the trajectory of his fingertips... There was a white glow mark hovering in the air.

The holy light is imprinted in the air, forming a cross trajectory.

Following Manaris's movements, little bits of light suddenly began to appear around the cell.

It's a prison cell.

The cage itself is decomposing, turning into tiny particles of light. These light particles of light fly high into the sky.

Like a beautiful firefly, it flew to the upper level of the heaven.

Shrouded in dots of light from the bottom up, the Ex-Machina's clothes were gently blown by the wind from the bottom up.

Revealing the metal-colored body underneath, the ball-shaped joints...

This is a design only used in old-fashioned production lines. Today's Ex-Machina has already used more realistic joints.

But interestingly, he regained his freedom.

The cage that bound him turned into nothingness at this moment.

"This...this is?"

The Ex-Machina looked at his hands hesitantly, then raised his head to look at the sky that he had not seen for a long time... The sky in heaven is not what the sky looks like.

To be more precise, there are no blue skies and white clouds in New Paradise. Instead, there is bright pure white... Of course, there are many stairs in the pure white.

There are many buildings floating in mid-air, connected by stairs constructed of parts. This is a characteristic of the Mecha world.

"Go to the abyss..."

As Manares said this, he looked at the shocked Ex-Machina: "Even if you have forgotten your own power, it will be easy for you to use the embedded snake slough fragments to break through the cage made by the god, right?"

"..."

"But, I am..."

The Ex-Machina didn't understand at all. He didn't understand why Manaris would do this: "Also, when you talk about breaking the cage, is it the 666th layer of the abyss?"

In response to the Ex-Machina's words, Manaris nodded gently: "I have already liberated a prisoner from the old era (you), it doesn't matter if I liberate another one."

In other words, he and the devil must be released together and their freedom restored, but is this really necessary?
"The Northern Territory is destined to turn the crisis around. There are many people who are eager to invest in the brave people now. You know this, right?"

As the Ex-Machina said this, he frowned and asked, "Is it really the right decision to release us?"

"..."

"..."

The only response to him was the silence of Manares. The Archangel of Judgment with six wings on his back looked at the angels who were looking at him curiously.

"There is no right or wrong. My friend, I have stopped following God's will...even if I wanted to, I can't do it."

Manaris' words made the Ex-Machina unbelievable.

In my lifetime, I actually heard the words "I no longer follow God's will" from the mouth of an angel.

"Don't look like this. My brothers and sisters and I have more or less begun to deviate from God's will..."

"Of course, we will never do things in the name of God like the church on the main plane... We just act according to our own ideas."

Manares said, shaking his head and sighing: "The gods no longer respond. No matter which god they are... their promotion must have failed."

Only by transcending the gods themselves can there be hope for salvation.

The tenth level seems to be just 9+1, but how difficult is it if you really want to do it?
"We need new gods, heroes and demon kings."

Manaris gently patted the Ex-Machina on the shoulder: "In the same way, a brave man needs teammates, and a demon king needs followers... Go ahead."

go?where to go

"Where to go?"

"..."

"Go to the Northern Territory with Nesta as a helper to see what Belsi thinks, and release the devil if necessary."

Manaris said this, and then turned around and left without intending to restrict the freedom of the Ex-Machina.

Not far away is the Rainbow Bridge, and the obvious logo of the [Bill Jobs] company is posted near the Rainbow Bridge.

"Wait, Manaris, I have a question."

The Ex-Machina asked loudly. He looked at the archangel who stopped and asked aloud: "Are gods mortal?"

In response, Manares turned around, shook his head and then nodded: "Well... maybe? Maybe not?"

"Perhaps he will fall into a long sleep, or when he is dying, he will forget his name and his appearance and be reincarnated?" "Who knows? But for believers... it is like death."

----------

"Help? Belsi and her daughter? Fight against demigods?"

After Meghan heard the news from Kailyn, he immediately became confused and checked the time: "Now? Are you sure?"

Although I don’t know why Mr. Megan reacted so strongly, Kailin and other [Contact Persons] nodded in confirmation.

This matter has caused quite a stir recently, and everyone knows it.

Why is Meghan, who has always seemed so unpredictable, suddenly confused?
"..."

Megan was silent for a moment... The world was completely different from what he knew, and he had obviously experienced countless cycles and reincarnations himself.

But this time, it's different every time.

Is it because there's that weird slime this time?

"Demigod... If my prophecy is correct, Belsi should be at the second level now, right?"

Megan said this.

"..."

"Tier three."

"It's the third level."

"Tier three."

"It's been a long time since I reached the third level, and my aura has become stronger and stronger."

"It feels like it's almost level four."

Everyone answered like this.

"what?"

Megan [Huh? ] He couldn't understand...why this reincarnation was so different from the previous ones.

Who knows which link went wrong, and the slime that appeared actually affected the trajectory of the world so much?

In Belsch's terms... world line.

"I'm sorry...my prophecies always go wrong when they work on Belsi and the slime on his head."

Megan said, using [prophecy] as always to cover up his own predictions... even though he couldn't predict at all.

According to Belsi, he is a [high-level player], although all this is not fun.

"Because these are the hero and the devil, right?"

For a esoteric liaison to come to such a simple conclusion, it is not surprising that Megan's prophetic ability went awry.

To put it bluntly, prophecies cannot always be accurate. Among all prophecy professionals, Megan has an extremely high accuracy rate.

What's more, the other party is the hero and the devil who brings salvation?
"makes sense."

Megan answered like this, but she kept thinking about what Belsi was doing now according to the [normal trajectory].

If I remember correctly, he was probably asking for magic advice from the Black Witch who was melted into the abyss, right?
But at this point in time, Belsi seems to have become a [Prince] and is considering resisting the invasion of the Demon King.

If this is the case, won’t the Violet Kingdom be divided up in the future?

Then wouldn't everything he was familiar with be completely messed up after that?

But think about it from another angle...just because everything went wrong this time, it was the closest to success.

Even if it doesn't, then it's just starting over from scratch.

"So, Belsi hopes that we can send a demigod to help him? Hmm... I don't think Manaris will ignore it."

Megan said this, although many things are deviating, whether it is in his perception or the current normal time trajectory.

Belsi's identity as a hero is still open to the esoteric sect and many high-level professionals, but the Demon King's words...

It seems that everyone is mistaking it for that slime now, but it is clearly the Demon King of Knights—Herelinde.

In the previous reincarnation, Megan heard what Bel Xi said.

When they were in the hatching pool, Herilind had a fight with him during the demon insect period, and then they were bought together, and then they came to the main plane together.

This is how the hero and the devil depend on each other.

But unfortunately, the world was still not saved in the end.

"..."

Megan thought, and then suddenly thought of something... Huh?In this case, could it be that Herilinde is not actually the Demon King?

No, could it be that Belsi is not a brave man?

"Mr. Megan?"

"Hey...why are you stunned?"

Ignoring the shouts from other contacts around her, Megan suddenly realized something... Could it be that Belsi is the Demon King and Slime is the Hero?
However, in the previous reincarnations, the slime, a brave man, died in the incubation pool due to various accidents?

After all, slime itself is not suitable for the environment of the abyss.

"Is Mr. Megan receiving prophecies, revelations or something?"

"I do not know……"

"..."

In a daze, Megan recalled the conversation between Belsi and him lying on the roof together a few reincarnations ago...

At that time, Belsi was already at level six.

[I still find it very abrupt to suddenly say that I am a brave man... What exactly is a so-called brave man?Is he the one destined to save the world?Or someone who can just enter a villager's house and get some healing potions and gold coins? 】

[Well, I think brave can be understood literally, that is, "brave person". Only those who understand fear but still face it can be considered brave... But I know that I am not. 】

[I am a mantis who only raises my arms in an attempt to resist because I don’t know the power of the wheel... Only when others take a step into the swamp can I muster up the courage to follow their steps. 】

[I am an evil dragon who can eat the weak without hesitation, but when I encounter a strong opponent, I will hesitate to ask for the help of a stronger person... In other words, I just want to fight the tailwind group, not fight to the death. courage. 】

[But since you all say I am, then just take it as I am~]

"..."

Yes...that's true.

Meghan thought about it, and he realized that Belsi had indeed said that...the request for help at this moment seemed to prove this.

Looking beyond the stereotypes, Belsi may be the devil.

What about the brave ones?

Megan thought so and looked in the direction of the Northern Territory.

----------

Nananoshima Semu: [Damn it, those demons are attacking north again... I really don’t want to care about those demigods!Damn it, just fight that devil!Bang bang bang! 】

Belsey: "Don't do it. If everything explodes, you will only hurt yourself in the end."

Nananoshima Semu: [It’s true. 】
