The Asylum of All Worlds

Chapter 454 The Furnace of Pain
3 month 8 day.

The streets of London showed a rare lively atmosphere. Even the lazy ladies walked out of their rooms. They were holding monocle sunglasses, wearing gorgeous long skirts, and painted deep in the creases. Foundation.
Everyone is waiting, looking forward to hoping that this 'weather forecast' will not be as unreliable as usual.

Because today will be the most spectacular total solar eclipse in nearly a century.

And in the hell, it was a similar scene. Beside the furnace of pain, countless demons gathered, large and small, piled up together, constantly emitting hungry groans and halazi.

[The Furnace of Pain] is actually a furnace, but at first glance, it looks like a huge lake, except that the lake is not filled with water, but boiling bright red blood. Countless scarlet bubbles are surging on the surface of the lake. Explodes, and emits a steaming sulphurous smell.

You can guess from the name, the main function of this thing is to bring pain, and it is indeed the case, it is used to punish the most damned souls, as long as it is thrown into it, the soul will be smelted until it boils , that kind of pain is unimaginable.

Of course, in hell, it is impossible for people to really conscientiously punish the wicked. The main purpose of throwing people into the [Furnace of Pain] is to feed the devil.

There are countless demons in hell, and there is almost never enough to feed them. If this goes on for a long time, there will definitely be troubles. Therefore, there is a very humane regulation in hell, that is, every once in a while, the furnace will be opened, and the Throwing a large number of souls into it, refined souls are extremely tempting food for demons. At that time, tens of thousands of demons will frantically prey on the surface of the furnace. To put it simply, it is a big pot of food.

And in this process, there will naturally be a lot of demons who eat and fall into the furnace, but that's fine, other demons don't care what's inside, they just eat anyway, and the kings of hell are also happy to see The number of these guys who are full of eating and eating can be reduced.

In short, when [The Furnace of Pain] is open, it is the grandest festival in hell, where all the demons will gather. Of course, the kings of hell will also be there, because only when all the kings are present can it be opened. furnace.

At this moment, on the shore of the huge 'lake', there are four people standing.

One of them was wrapped in a black cloak, except for two faint blue flames in the hood, which must be his eyes.This guy is one of the Three Kings of Hell [Devil Lord Azazel].

On the other side, there is a very abstract guy. This thing seems to have no entity, only a 'human figure'. The reason for saying this is because this thing is composed of hundreds of bugs, and those bugs are densely packed together , except for a 'human' shape with both hands and feet, and all the parts are complete, such as the eyes, there is a centipede on the upper and lower sides, forming the upper and lower eyelids, and there is a firefly in the middle with its butt sticking out. Eye.

And this guy is the [Lord of the Flies Beelzebub] from hell.

As for the one standing between these two people, it is naturally the most powerful ruler of hell [The First Fallen].

Hmm. But what is different from usual is that this time beside the first fallen, there is also an ordinary human being wearing a casual suit with eyes full of curiosity. You don't need to guess that this is Professor Moriarty.

Because this guy was among a group of demons, and he looked like a child entering a toy store, which was really eye-catching, so Azazel and Beelzebub couldn't help but cast their gazes on him.

After a while, Beelzebub finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Hey, who is this guy next to you?" He asked.

"A...friend." The novice replied.

"Friend?" Azazel repeated sharply, "I've never heard you say that you have such a number one friend."

Although the Three Kings of Hell seem to be in harmony for thousands of years, they all know each other well. If their strength had not happened to form a very stable triangle situation, then they would have been fighting each other for a long time. Therefore, together Hearing that the newly fallen man has an extra friend, it is inevitable that the other two will feel jealous, but fortunately, both of them can feel that this 'friend' has no power at all, and is just a mortal.

Today, however, the first fallen seem to be in a good mood.

"Haha, he. Um. I met him in the human world before. Now that he's dead, I'm just going to take him to hell." The first fallen gave a very casual explanation, although it sounds perfunctory, but, Since he is just a mortal, the other two kings don't care about it.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be able to make friends in the world." Azazel sneered: "So...why did you rush to open the furnace of pain at this time?"

The first fall smiled: "According to the days, it is almost the same, and I am in a good mood recently."

"Cut." Beelzebub grunted without cutting: "Okay, the time is indeed almost up. Those demons on my territory have started to eat their own people, so... let's start."

As he spoke, he raised his hands high and began to mutter.

And Azazel and the First Fallen didn't say much, and just followed it up to the three kings of hell. This is the case. If you have something to do, you should do it quickly, otherwise you will feel troubled if you look at each other too much.

As the spell gradually completed, the lake of blood in front of him boiled more and more, and the intense heat rushed straight into the sky, baking the blood cloud in the sky into a big black hole.

The next second, the spell was finished, and in an instant, countless souls fell crazily from the black hole, crackling, and fell into the furnace.

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

"Ahhhhhhhh—"

At this moment, the whole hell seemed to be boiling. Those hungry demons rushed to the lake desperately, circling like covering the sky and covering the sun. Their huge claws grabbed the souls in the furnace and devoured them like crazy.

Azazel looked at the scene in front of him, and a disgusted voice came out from the hood: "Tch, these stupid guys, no matter how many years they look at them, they will feel disgusting."

"Oh? Really? I think they are quite cute today." The first fallen still looked very happy.

"Huh? Why are you so happy today? I remember you hated them the most before." Azazel asked.

But suddenly, he discovered something that made him very uncomfortable.

Because, although the first fallen man talked about it, he didn't look at those devouring demons
Instead, you are looking at yourself.
