I, Hikigu, are contained by the evil god

Cruru continued to release heavy news, which made Hikigu tremble in his heart.

He had thought that there would be a fifth stage in hell, and he had boldly thought that there would be a sixth stage in hell... but he never thought that there would be so many sixth stages in hell.

It's not that he didn't think that the so-called five old demons mentioned by the old man in the first floor of hell might have the strength to surpass the fifth stage and reach the sixth stage, but he never thought that all five of them are.

After all, how much is the sixth stage of the entire association?Only five or six are enough for the association to suppress the world, God knows there are still five in the association's own prison!

Coupled with the same number of fifth stages...

As a result, after wandering in the first seven layers of hell for a long time, I realized now that those were just appetizers.

The quality and essence of the entire hell are all gathered together in the eighth level of hell. No wonder that old man was just a soldier back then, and he can still look down on the strongest in the first level of hell.

"But, it sounds like our sixth stage saint seems to be..."

Bi Qigu hesitated to speak.

In a world like hell, where the strong prevail and the weak prey on the strong, a ceiling combat power like a saint is very important. If there is one less saint, it sounds like a big disadvantage.

"The number of saints is not as large as the opposite side, so it seems to be at a disadvantage, right?" Krulu saw Biqigu's thoughts, and then everyone including Long Sheng Xiaolin and many cadres laughed out loud.

"In fact, our heterogeneous alliance can even completely suppress Duxinhui." Krulu raised his head, raised his finger lightly and pointed at himself, and then pointed at Xiaolin, his tone was full of domineering and confident, "Because whether it's me or Xiaolin. "

"The opponent has the strength to fight two!"

Krulu paused for a moment, then changed the subject and continued,

"—and it's not just the highest level of suppression, we can also suppress the opponent in terms of the backbone."

"Because the fourth stage when we started to break through the sky is more than crossing the heart." Krulu pointed to some straight cadres sitting on the seat, "It has the four counts of the seven deadly sins. , we also have the famous six great demons as cadres, all of whom are strong at this level, and if you add that you are better than Qigu Hachiman, we will have more."

"So we can't say that the heterogeneous alliance is the overlord of hell. After all, it has a small advantage against Duxinhui, but it should be well-deserved to say that hell is number one."

In the end, Krulu concluded in this way.

"Then there's one thing I can't figure out."

Hikigu already knew almost everything he wanted to know, so he felt that he needed to ask that crucial question that was not euphemistic but necessary.

"As the number one power in hell, it has already passed the stage of seeking talents... What virtue and ability do Kaguya and I allow a saint like you to drive the Eight Buddhas to invite us? "

Bi Qigu pursed his lips, rubbing his hands with a civilized stick under his armpit, expressing a little apprehension on purpose,

"We are willing to join the heterogeneous alliance. After all, until now, we have a very good impression of the friendly atmosphere of the heterogeneous alliance."

"—But we are really scared, even if we are being used, at least let us know where there is value in being used, so that we can feel at ease."

"Are you right?"

The voice of the black hall fell silent.

A staggered line of sight of various colors converged on Hikigaya, looking at this straightforward and reckless young man with different emotions.

Well, they seem to have to admit now... This person really has a bit of appetite for them.

Chapter 81 The shortcut to the fifth stage and the glowing shell

"Speak straight!"

Krulu's voice raised slightly, breaking the silence of the dark hall,

"I like you more and more, Hikigu Hachiman."

"—Let's just say it clearly." Krulu Biqigu said, "You have caught up with the good times, and we need you to do something for us."

"What's the matter?" Hikigu asked directly.

"It's dangerous, but it's great for you, and of course it's good for the league and it's good for me, it's a win-win."

Hikigu was not surprised that there was a danger, and the risk factor was definitely not low, so he asked straightforwardly without being tactful or tactful:

"What's in it for me?"

"Why don't you ask what's the danger first? Are you the kind of person who is very greedy for benefits?"

Hikigu shook his head, his voice was low:

"No need, there is no such thing as a pie in the sky, I have this consciousness."

"...I admire you more and more."

Krulu likes the straightforwardness that Bi Qigu has shown so far. She likes to talk to people like this, because it will not waste energy and brains, which is very boring.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should have just passed the first level of heaven and integrated your own power, but you haven't started to transform in other aspects, have you started to pass the second level of heaven?"

"Yes, that's right."

"This is a big threshold. Logically speaking, it takes a long, long time to get through it slowly...Even [-]% of the people in the third level are stuck in the bottleneck, and they can't break through the fifth stage until they die. "

"That's right, but I'm mentally prepared for such a cruel reality."

"Then what if I say that the benefit you can get is that you can skip this hard work, break through the two heavenly barriers without any consequences, and be promoted to the fifth stage?"

"How is this possible?" Bi Qigu widened his eyes, feeling incredible.

"..." In the silent hall, Bi Qigu's sharp hearing heard his breathing becoming heavy, and he could clearly feel hot or greedy eyes sweeping over his body vaguely.

This is normal. After all, what Krulu said was too incredible, too impactful, and too attractive.

But... Hikigu couldn't believe Krulu's words.

It's not that he looks down on anyone. Although Krulu is indeed powerful, he is a ruthless person who claims to be able to fight two against one at the saint stage, but even though his master is Sakaski, even if he is in the association, he has never heard of it. something like that.

Either pass through the third stage first and then advance to the fifth stage, or forcibly attack the fifth stage and then passively pass through the third stage during the impact. This is the iron law that every agent of the association knows.

——In other words, the association doesn't even know of any way to bypass the triple barrier and directly advance to the fifth stage.

Things that the association doesn't know, Krulu knows... This possibility is not impossible, but it is really very small.

"Of course it's impossible. People who have no background and inheritance probably don't know about Tianguan, but I don't think you are like that, so you should know that as long as you want to advance to the fifth stage, you have to go through three hurdles." , This is the only way to go, even people who don’t know anything about rushing hard will be pushed by their potential to pass through three levels in the process of promotion, and then they don’t know which level they are stuck in, and their potential is exhausted and they die.”

"...But the world of mystery has never had words like 'must' and 'must'. Even the so-called iron law of the Three Heavens Pass may not be the real iron law."

"You can do what others can't do."

Cruru looked at Hikigu with a strange gleam in his eyes,

"If there is really one person in this world who can do this after counting the ancient history, then that person must be you."

... Now, Hikigu believes Krulu's words a little bit, because what she said is really similar to that.

He couldn't help being emotional when he was teased by Krulu. After all, it was the fifth stage, the fifth stage where he was an absolute big shot in the entire mysterious world, and he was still two levels away from all the hardships. The fifth stage...why does it seem to be so close to him all of a sudden?

Crulu added: "Even, there is no sequelae at all in doing so. Once you succeed, you will have the strongest foundation in theory, the kind that allows you to develop and utilize your potential to the greatest extent in the fifth stage."

Kruru seems to have explained a lot, but she didn't seem to explain anything, the pancake she drew made Hikigu feel short of breath, but the specific description she said made Hikigu feel confused, "Why? how should I do?"

"Why... I'll tell you later, but not now." Krulu made a pass at the critical moment, "Because this matter can only be said when I'm alone with you."

"This..." Hikigu thought of the scene where Krulu directly called out "God-given alchemy" when he saw him before.

...Could it be related to that?

——In short, what is certain is that he is special to Krulu, and Krulu attaches great importance to this specialness, and even directly gives the benefits that Hikigu can't take his attention away.

But this also made Bi Qigu feel more at ease... As long as he doesn't treat him well for no reason, what he fears most is the unknown.

"As for you..." Krulu looked at Shinomiya Kaguya again, "Do you have similar questions like your companion?"

Kaguya expressed his doubts and desires in a timely manner: "Maybe you can also answer my doubts?"

"Well, it's okay."

Cruru considered his words,

"In a sense, you are no more useful to the alliance than Qigu, but you are more involved than Qigu."

Hikigu and Kaguya raised their eyebrows at the same time.

Kaguya's expression became extremely serious, "What do you know? Please tell me if you can."

This question has troubled Biqigu and her for so long, and it would be great if Krulu could finally get an answer in time.

"To be precise, I don't know any specific information, let alone your secret."

Kaguya's expression froze at Kruru's words, but she quickly changed the topic again,

"But when we first met, I noticed that you are extraordinary, and even compared to Biqigu, you shocked me more."

"Because I can sense that you have a reaction with something in my hand... When I saw you, it vibrated violently in my body. This kind of reaction has never happened in the past.

Kaguya's eyes widened, and his tone was full of uncertainty, "Is that thing important?"

"Is it more than important and can be described?"

Krulu shook his head, raised his hands and flipped them over, the palms of his hands glowed with immeasurable light, and the dark hall was illuminated for an instant, but the light was not dazzling, but rather cool as water, gentle like the moonlight in the outer sky.

Hikigaya and Kaguya watched carefully with wide-eyed eyes. They saw a round fetish floating above Krulu's palm. It was shaped like an egg and looked like an ancient smooth and delicate shell with beautiful luster and markings. On the surface, there is a faint pattern of swallows spreading their wings and flying.

Just looking at this, Hikigu felt an inexplicable surge in his heart, and his mind suddenly became extremely quiet.

...Just looking at this, Kaguya trembled all over, and froze in place.

Like a glance of a millennium, the sparkle in her eyes flowed, and tears streamed down her face in a trance.

Chapter 82 Important Keys; What Will We Do?

Kaguya's tears streaming down his face made Hikigu confused, he hurriedly asked Kaguya what was wrong, but Kaguya looked confused after being asked, opened his mouth and forgot what to say, as if she didn't even know what she wanted to say. I know how I cried into this virtue.

Hikigaya looked at Kaguya with a dazed expression in his eyes, then turned his head to look at Krulu and the fetish floating in her palm,

"what is this?"

"I don't know." Cruru shook his head. "I have some guesses about its origin, but there is no evidence for these guesses, so I can't really determine his origin."

"Then..." Hikigu was very curious, but he also knew that he probably couldn't get any information from Kaguya's mouth, this person's expression looked even more confused than him than Bikigu!

"But I can tell you about its magic and importance."

Krulu added, "That starts a long time ago."

"I should have told you just now that before there were such sayings as [Five Old Demons], [Seven Deadly Sins], [Nine Demon Lords], and [22 Evil Ways]. Everyone protects their own subordinates, like a warlord, and the Eight Hells at that time can be said to be very chaotic."

"But actually, the chaos isn't so bad because we've had worse than this."

"You probably don't know that in the eight hells, there will be a sky change every seven days... You look at the bloody sky and it seems to be like this forever, but in fact it will be dark every 17 years, and the duration is 12 hours. During these 12 hours, there will be endless hordes of beasts, and there will even be terrifying beasts of the sixth stage, only very lucky people can survive the hordes of animals, and the survival rate is pitifully low."

"—Only the ten evil pouches, that is, the ring-shaped area in the center of the eighth floor, are immune to the impact of the beast horde due to unknown reasons."

"The so-called evil bag refers to a Jedi in the center of the eight hells, which is completely made of iron-colored stones. It has a unique name called Malebolge, which means "pockets of evil", and is usually called by us. It's called 'Evil Bag'."

"But these evil pockets cannot be entered. They are ten famous dangerous places, and there are endless dangers in them. It is impossible for people to stay. Therefore, people have been living with difficulty all the time, praying that they will be able to survive the beast tide." I was lucky enough to survive till dawn.”

"They are precarious and do not have any sense of security. Thanks to the blessings of heaven, the population of the eight hells will drop sharply every 17 years."

"This status quo didn't change until decades ago. Ten fetishes appeared in various parts of the eight hells at the same time, and their aura was earth-shattering. People who possessed these ten fetishes could enter the evil pocket. With the corresponding authority, the dangerous place at that time has become the best safe and blessed place and refuge, which can shelter those who want to be sheltered."

"In other words, they are the keys to the evil bag."

"There are ten rings in the evil bag, and there are ten corresponding keys. There are ten people who get the keys, and these ten people become the saviors of the eighth hell. Countless people voted one after another. The ten major forces in the ten directions are the five forces of the five demons, one force of the seven deadly sins, one force of the nine evil lords, and 22 evil ways condensed into three forces."

Krulu looked at the fetish that looked like an egg and a shell floating in his hand, his eyes were half down, his expression was serious,

"And what I have in my hand is the 'key' I got."

"The last time it was dark was seven years ago. At that time, the world changed drastically, and the beast dynasty outside was extremely active and restless in an unprecedented manner. Many people shivered even if they were in their pockets... and when it was dawn, let Everyone felt that something unbelievable had happened."

"What?" Hikigu asked.

"The ten evil bags have disappeared."

Krulu's voice became deeper and deeper,

"At dawn, everyone realized that they were not in the evil bag. The scene in front of them was not the dangerous place full of steel jungles, but a flat plain that stretched as far as the eye could see."

"The bloody sky has come out, and the night has passed, but no one is cheering, and there is a dead silence everywhere."

"I don't know if the association knows about it, but I'm sure there must be something waiting for us behind it, and there must be an amazing secret in it."

"It is because of this fear of the unknown and insecurity, coupled with the disappearance of dangerous places, that the pattern of the top ten forces in the past has become difficult to maintain in the new era, so people have started to add, and the forces and forces are united with each other. Or friendly negotiation, or violent coercion, for example, the heterogeneous alliance was developed by me and Kobayashi, plus the Nine Demon Lords as the backbone.

"That cruel and bloody history has completely passed. In short, after three years of war, the ten major forces have merged into three major forces."

"—These ten major forces are the Alien Alliance, the Crossing Heart Association, and the Alliance of Evil Paths."
