Captured alive by the devil, I would rather die than submit

"Is it okay to just say no?"

Goloy didn't care to appreciate the barren scenery outside the window, so he turned his gaze back and met mine.

"The historical blank period of hell...you know this saying."

"It refers to the historical gap between the transition from ancient times to post-ancient times."

"That's right, you and I have both been to the ancient hell, and in the end we ushered in the ending... You should also be very clear."

"The whole hell has been swallowed up by magma..."

"Yes, the seven great demons, including Satan, have all died. Hell has become a veritable sea of ​​flames, and all life has ceased to exist."

"But in this case..." I couldn't help frowning, and put my paw on my chin, maybe because the facts were too shocking, I naturally showed an exaggerated expression to match it.

"Yeah, if that's the end... then where did we come from now?"

This is the biggest question. If the seven great demons are dead, where did the demons come from today? If the hell is swallowed by lava, why does the hell still exist today? Where did the sea of ​​magma go?And the gate of the city wall of the Mammon family, what about the relief paintings on it.

It's all a puzzle, and Goloy and I realized it when we got back, but we never settled down to discuss it because there were so many problems we faced.

However, even if we discuss it, we can't draw any effective conclusions. After all, we came back after that. Like other lords, we don't know anything about this information. The only thing we know is that the relationship between the seven demons is relatively unique, and we have also experienced the battle with Satan.

"Lipatia."

"Ok?"

"What I'm going to say next can only be regarded as a complete theoretical analysis, and may have nothing to do with reality, so just listen to it for a while..."

After hesitating for a long time, Goloy lowered his head and said this.

"Well, I see."

After getting the reply, Goloy took a deep breath, then raised his head, arched his back, pressed his arms on his thighs, and stared at me with stern eyes, like a beast in chains.

"Do angels die?"

"Of course not. The number of angels is fixed, and they are all created by God. And because we are spirit bodies, there is no complete life form. In other words, our form has surpassed life, and naturally it has surpassed life and death."

"Then if angels don't die...why do demons die..."

"This one……"

To be honest, I don't know why demons die. When I first came to hell, I was really shocked when I learned about the situation in hell, because I didn't expect demons to die.

Because in essence, the devil is also a kind of existence that transcends life. The appearance of the devil is accompanied by the emergence of the concept of good and evil. In other words, the devil is a concrete manifestation of an abstract philosophical concept. Then why does such a devil die?

No one knows, not demons, not angels, so the only one who knows... maybe only God.

"Yes, why, we don't know, but we have been ignoring one thing, and that is the difference between the Seven Great Demons themselves and modern demons."

"I can probably see what you mean."

Goloy is also quite taboo to talk about such topics, perhaps because of the dignity of the devil or something, so he didn't speak too clearly.

"So... I guess, are the Seven Great Demons... still alive?"

Chapter 12. Came to the military factory again (Lipatia)

"will not."

Although Goloy was a little agitated, and even though I could feel that he was trying to restrain this agitation, I was very helpless, and I categorically denied him in an affirmative tone.

"I dare not say that all the seven great demons are dead, because I really don't know anything about them, but... what is certain is that not all of them survived."

Yes, this is the one thing I'm most sure of. I didn't look at Goloy's face, but closed my eyes. To be honest, I couldn't bear to look at that face full of disappointment at this moment, it would make me even worse.

Slowly put his hands on his chest, and the vibration of the beating heart was transmitted immediately.

"You should know, at least... Lucifer is impossible for her to live."

I'm not sure if any of the other demons are dead, I'm not sure if Leviathan is still alive, I'm not sure if Mammon died back then, Asmodeus is still there, Samael is good, I dare not say that.

But only Lucifer, only the most important "mother" that Goloy respects most, the fallen angel Lucifer, I can confirm that she is really dead.

This may be a kind of punishment from God to Goloi, although this punishment must be achieved by destroying his own creations.

No... As an angel, I still can't have these thoughts.

"However, other sinful demons are alive... I think it is also possible. You just mentioned the difference between modern demons and ancient demons. I think this is a good entry point, because we don't know how the current demons, you mortal demons, were born, but if you figure out your nature, maybe you can really understand what happened during the historical blank period."

After that, Goloy didn't talk about this topic with me anymore. I don't know if my words stimulated him and made him a little sad. I once said that the devil is absolutely strong or something. This is all pretending to show to outsiders, but I am not an outsider, so I understand the fragile side of the devil.

But even in front of me, Goloy did not show any disappointment or sadness, and it seemed that his mentality had not changed.

That's right, I can think of Goloy as well, so if this is the case... Goloy still expressed his thoughts, which means that even though he knows the reality, he still has different opinions. view.

Then what he told me just now was not all of his thoughts. After I expressed my thoughts, he was driven by a certain consciousness and hid the rest of his words.

After a while, the carriage arrived at Hopelami Mountain where the military factory was located. It was still a familiar scene. The huge magical props driven by the magic source went from the top of the mountain to the magma, absorbing the usable part of the magma, and those human souls who were punished and sent to hell were also forced to do punitive labor.

Those human beings are naked/naked, constantly wailing in pain, carrying some collected stones on their backs, and it is very difficult to climb rocks with bare hands. Once they fall, they will be swallowed by magma, and because they are already dead, they will not die , which would be more painful.

The entire military factory is a huge machine, a huge killing machine, but due to reality, I can only accept the existence of this kind of machine and use it to achieve my own goals.

It's really sad.

This kind of thinking seems familiar. I'm afraid I thought the same way when I came to the military factory before. My thinking has not changed now, because this place itself has not changed.

Still brutal.

The carriage arrived at the top of the mountain, and after crossing a bridge built over the magma, we came to the gate of the factory.

Every time I look at this factory, I feel that this is not a factory at all, but a prison for interrogation and torture.

The protection of the factory is also very strict. The gates are divided into two layers, the inside and the outside, and are fixed together by a cross. Only when the first layer is opened, the second layer can be opened.

After entering the factory, the carriage continued to drive forward for a certain distance, and finally stopped slowly.

Goloi and I didn't move, but sat in the car and waited. After a while, the car door was opened from the outside. Yi Cai also got out of the car.

After getting out of the car, we found that the surrounding area was already surrounded by crowds. It was the guards of the factory. I had forgotten that there were also a lot of troops deployed in the factory.

After all, this place has some peculiarities.

"Your Majesty, you are welcome."

Looking at the figure bowing to us in front of us, all the memories of the past were brought back.

"Long time no see, Injera." After getting off the car, Goloy straightened his neckline, and then responded to the demon in front of him with his hands behind his back.

Injela, he is the main person in charge of this factory. He has neatly combed short brown hair, a pair of small and cute horns on top of his head, and some slender ears. He looks like an ordinary horned man, nothing special.

Injela didn't say much to Goloy, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, or in other words, didn't have any reaction that she should have.

I see, did Goloy come here alone before?

If Goloy hadn't been here before, then Injela would be shocked by Goloy's appearance, after all, he was his master, and he would be surprised by his sudden change of skin.

But Injera didn't, which meant that Goloy had also been here after becoming like this.

But this is also a matter of course.

"It's not just me, Lipatia is here too."

"Lord Lipatia?" Injera blinked, and looked around politely. "Well, may I ask Lipatia-sama..."

"Isn't this just standing here?" Goloy glanced in my direction, and then Injera also turned to look over.

Although the appearance has changed, but after seeing my appearance, Injera lived up to expectations and showed an expression that somewhat spoiled his elegance.

"This..." He stammered a little, perhaps to prevent himself from showing more ugliness, he immediately put away his rude gaze, and then swallowed everything he wanted to say.

"Well, this is also one of the issues I want to discuss with you, but let's talk about it slowly."

"Ah, yes."

Once again Dr. Injela returned to being polite.

"By the way, Lasevier is here today."

"General Lasevier?"

Injela looked around the group again, looking for a monster with a big waist, a snake head and a lion tail, but unfortunately, his wish was still in vain just like before. After looking around, he still didn't find such a terrifying figure.

I don't know when our looks became the capital of Goloy's pride. With that ostentatious smile, he put his arms around Injera, and then turned his body in another direction.

"Look over there, what's the matter, don't you even know La Servillier?"

"Doctor, long time no see." Lasevier nodded and said in a low tone.

Injela didn't show any surprised expression, he didn't seem to understand what was going on.

"Excuse me……"

He might not have reacted too much at first, but Lasevier's signature heavy and dark armor engraved with rather complicated engraving patterns will be impressive to anyone who has seen it.So is Dr. Injela.

"La Servillier... Monsieur?"

"Yeah." Lasevier nodded again.

Looking at Injera's innocent expression, Goloy couldn't help laughing. If Goloy hadn't hugged Injera, he would have been sitting on the ground by now.

It's really boring, this demon king likes to use these things to satisfy himself, it's really twisted.

Chapter 13. The Research of the Former Demon King (Lipatia)

"Magic and...alchemy of the Leviathan family?"

Afterwards, under the urging of Goloy, Injela took us into the factory without having time to calm down his chaotic mood.

"Yeah, it's just an accidental mistake. I accidentally made Master Angel..."

"It's not accidental at all..." I muttered softly.

"So, I want to ask you, you also worked for the former devil king, do you know anything about this aspect, the Leviathan family... I don't know how to say it, it is the magic that changes the body shape, do you know anything about this aspect? understood."

"Hey, let's just get to know it." Although I was surprised, but now that I know part of the reason, Injera's attitude has eased, but it still gives people a dumbfounded feeling. Such a demon is quite rare in hell.

Sure enough, it's because they are scholars? Many theoretical scholars have a more... cowardly personality.

"The former Demon King was quite obsessed with the mysteries of God's creation, or in other words, he always wanted to decipher the way or the law of God's creation."

"Does that guy want to imitate God to create things?" Goloy sneered, expressing his disdain to the greatest extent both verbally and on the surface.

"This... As far as I know, I don't want to imitate God to create things, because God creates matter. Your Majesty should also know that according to the mainstream magic theory model, the factor of God does not exist, because God is an infinite The concept of extension... Your Majesty and all the adults should have heard the question raised by some anthropologists, 'Can God make a stone that he can't lift', because this is a contradictory concept, so..."

Can God create a rock that cannot be lifted by himself? I first heard this question asked by anthropologists in the academy.

The answer is simple, that is, God can make a rock that He cannot lift.

According to human logic, this seems to be difficult to understand, but it is not difficult to see the problem from another angle. God is a concept, an infinite concept. So with God there can never be a contradiction, there is no contradiction.

Just like the question itself, the point is not whether it can be lifted or whether God created it, but whether God can do it.

For God, the answer is always infinite "can".

If I say that God can both lift this rock that he cannot lift and cannot lift this rock that he cannot lift, human beings seem to be unable to understand it.

For God, positive and negative logic always exist in parallel.

According to human terms, it is omniscient and omnipotent.

What can be done, what can't be done.

Therefore, the mainstream magic model does not include the factor of gods, because the concept of gods extends infinitely, and the infinite existence is equal to the infinite absence, so naturally there is no need for existence.

"Because of this, the former Demon King also knew that it was impossible to create matter, so he focused on the essence of magic, which is to change matter."

"If you change the substance... not just the former demon king, any magic involves the change of the substance." Lasevier asked.

"Ah, it's...that...this..." Dr. Injera lowered his head, avoiding any eye contact with Lasevier next to him. It seemed that he was still not quite used to Lasevier's current appearance. "It should be said that the previous demon king's eyes were always focused on human magic."

"Human body magic, that old pervert..." Goloy said, looking at the ceiling.

"Yes, because the former Demon King believes that the highest mystery of God's creation is the creation of man, and the birth of man has a mission. Therefore, compared with all other things, there is a direct connection between man and God."

"Um-um--" Goloy put his hands behind his back, walked with his head held high and nodded while walking. "As for the Leviathan family, their vision in this regard is indeed different."

Perhaps because Leviathan itself is a special existence in God's creation, the Leviathan family will pay attention to the essence of life.
