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

Dante on the side suddenly interrupted the two of us without warning.

"What?" Beda seemed to be aroused by Dante's words.

"Demon, I beg you to answer my question."

"What's the problem?" Beda said.

Really, he obviously ignored Dante as soon as he entered the door, but now he looks very interested.

Beda's character has really changed a lot since she walked away from the death line.

"The just man is just because of justice itself."

"Yes."

"Is the reason why beautiful people are beautiful because of beauty itself?"

Beda was taken aback for a moment.

"It's like this, beauty makes beautiful people, not beautiful people make beauty."

"After all, not only people are beautiful." I echoed.

"Then hell is hell because of the pain of hell, or because of hell itself."

"This……"

Beda didn't answer this question right away. In fact, I couldn't answer it either, because I wasn't even sure if I understood what Dante meant.

As a result, the two demon marshals were tested by a strange girl human's weird question.

"Hell is hell because there is pain," I said to Beda.

"Hell is hell, isn't it because God made hell?"

"But everything is created by God, isn't it? Isn't the difference between hell and other places is that there is eternal pain? If there is no such eternal pain, then what is the difference between hell and other things created by God?"

"If you say that, yes."

After unifying the answers, Beda replied to Dante: "That's right, the reason why hell is hell is because of pain, eternal, inescapable pain."

"Then how does pain exist."

"Pain... how to exist..."

What kind of tricky questions are these.

I can't help but think of when I went to the academy, the humans there were also discussing these strange things, what kindness, what perfection, what ultimate reality, I couldn't understand it.

"The pain...is because we feel the pain." I subconsciously said while stroking my wagging tail.

"Isn't the pain caused by the pain itself?" Beda asked.

"If there is no us to feel the pain, then how can the pain exist."

"This one……"

"It's like those souls cry 'so painful,' without those souls, without us, who would cry out of pain."

"Yes." Beda nodded. "I agree."

"That's right." This time I replied. "Because the sufferer's soul in hell exists, so pain exists."

"It's wonderful, demons, since this is the case, if there is no such thing, without you, there will be no pain, so how can hell continue to exist?"

Chapter 72. The result of free will (Lipatia)

"Speaking of which, I have a question."

"Ok?"

The journey to Phallus was leisurely, perhaps because we had little freedom.Although Shimo didn't treat us as "criminals", coaxing us with food and drink, and facing Goloy's frequent provocations and ridicules, which were completely out of the dignity of the devil and his personal character, he also accepted them all. Goloy felt completely irrational anger at Shimo's etiquette as if his fist had been hit on the cotton.

But it should be said that thanks to Shimo, we did not encounter too many obstacles on the way to Phylus, the capital of Sloss.Whether it's dealing with the relationship with other cities or protecting us from the interference of the source field of Sloth, Shimo has done a good job.

It made me wonder if Nirren had sent his most loyal servant to work that should have been reserved for a savage soldier.

He is a nobleman, but I only see the shadow of a servant in him, everything is arranged in an orderly manner, a bit like... Finisely, no matter what task is given to her, she will try her best to complete it excellently, not because it is the job of a servant, but because it is the job assigned by the master.

In this sense, what Shimo accepts is not the job he is best at, but the job that Niren needs most now and which Shimo is most assured of.

After all, the core of this special security force is not to fight, but to arrest people who may endanger the existing order of Sloss from other aspects. This means that combat effectiveness is secondary, and loyalty is the main thing. Their The target is not a powerful enemy army, but the rats hiding in the dark.

"Aren't you worried about Melika?"

"You mean mother?"

"Yeah." I put away the parchment notebook, put my elbows on the table, put my palms on the side of my face, and looked at the disheveled Goloy over there with a sigh.

"I'm worried about my mother."

"Isn't she the cousin who came to look for you? Melika is also a powerful demon. If we are caught so soon, then Melika..."

"You shouldn't have to worry about that." Goloy couldn't say "sit", but "leaned" on the chair, and his body kept sliding down. "It's not the first time Mom has come to Sloss, she has been here before, so she should have more experience than us, and there shouldn't be any major incidents."

"You really feel at ease, now that Sloss is so close to the enemy, you are not afraid..."

"Don't worry." Goloy waved his hand. "We can't say that we are the devil and angels, but what happened to my mother, I can say that she is my mother, it's okay, no matter how crazy Niren is, she wouldn't dare to do anything to the mother of the current devil."

"It is."

"However, what you said is true. I still hope that my mother will not be caught like us. The most difficult thing is that once my mother is controlled, it means that the mother and cousin of the devil king have now become the weight of Niren. I hate it when people take my family as hostages."

"So, what you hate the most now should be Dipalona?"

"Ah?" Goloy turned his head and looked at me suspiciously, not understanding why I suddenly mentioned the Succubus Queen. "What does that have to do with Dipalona?"

"..." My eyelids and the corners of my mouth drooped.

"Uh... I, I mean, of course I don't like Dipalona anymore, and of course I'm annoyed by causing me so much trouble." Goloy immediately sat up straight alertly, stuttering Said.

"So, if you don't have such a big trouble, you don't hate her?"

"Of course not, my dear, don't get me wrong, she and I... I mean... even if she doesn't pick on me now, I still bother her. This woman is so vicious that I can't believe it."

"Is it really okay to say that about my past fiancée?"

"She's not my fiancee! That's when the two of us...we got a little closer."

"Oh? So, you didn't think about setting her up as a magic princess?"

"Of course! Of course... no..."

Just kidding, of course I don't intend to "torture" Goloy from the perspective of personal love and hatred so abruptly. He is already annoyed enough that he didn't hold a wedding with me as scheduled.

After standing up, I slowly walked in front of Goloy, cupped his face with both hands, forced him to look straight at me with his dodging eyes, then tilted his head slightly and kissed him gently.

After taking the reassurance, Goloy also breathed a sigh of relief, pouted and muttered: "Don't always make fun of this aspect, I'm very nervous..."

"Sorry, I'm not good."

"So." He frowned, still wondering why the topic became like this. "Why did you suddenly mention Dipalona?"

"Didn't she control Agadina?"

"You mean this."

"If it weren't for that, we could have avoided a war."

"Hey..." Goloy waved his hand, firmly expressing that he didn't want to talk about this matter anymore. "It's my fault too."

"It's really strange, your sister is being treated as a puppet."

"Lipatia."

She suddenly and solemnly called my name.

"what happened?"

"Have you ever heard of human doubts?"

"What doubts."

"There are crimes, killings, and wars in the world."

"That's right."

"But human beings don't understand why the world created by the omniscient and omnipotent God is full of evil."

"..."

"Also, why did the humans in the original Garden of Eden violate God's will and eat the fruit of good and evil? Didn't God anticipate it? If God anticipated it, why didn't he stop it? Did God intend to create evil on purpose?"

I didn’t open my mouth to defend God right away, because God’s will didn’t require a low-level angel like me to defend.

This question seems pointless to me.

"In my opinion, this is actually a very simple question." Goloy continued. "Because of free will."

"Free will."

"Yes, God is still very merciful. God has given the right to choose to human beings, and stealing the fruit of good and evil. The evil that violates God's will is the result of human free will."

"You mean... Agathina is the same."

"That's right." Goloy looked out the window. "Agadina chose the most wrong and extreme path by herself. My sister is a smart person and also a crazy person. I admit that I am responsible for this matter, but for my little sister, I have already tried my best to let her... live the best life, but I am not a god. There are some things that I can't control, and many of the current results are also the result of her free will choice, so..."

"It's really the first time you've said this to me. I thought you would only dote on Agadina."

He looked back at me again, and smiled.

"Of course, of course I dote on her. I know it myself, but I'm not stupid, and... this doesn't mean that I can forgive Dipalona for what she did. I just said that this is different from what happened to my mother and the others."

Chapter 73. The Dossier of God's Will (Goloi)

After being imprisoned, I basically gave up resistance. I can't tell whether it is the weakness of the body or the burnout of the soul. Although I have experienced countless wars, countless killings, and watched countless souls Howling and dissipating in front of me, but when it comes to total destruction, I still feel that this kind of thing is very far away from me.

Yes, I am so arrogant. I have never considered death. The so-called death has never been in my consideration. For me who has awakened the blood of Lucifer and Asmodeus, the concept of death is too far away up.

If it was normal, Lipatia might be very upset; it is obvious that disaster is imminent, how can I still maintain this calmness? This peace that has not been experienced for a long time.

This is just right, looking back on the past, I never seem to have the opportunity to really calm down and think about myself. The devil always feels that his fate is doomed from birth.For example, as a descendant of Lucifer, my destiny is nothing more than becoming an insignificant royal family or fighting with other families to become the devil king.

Everything feels logical.

But have I really thought about the connotation?

Why should I be the devil king? What will happen if I don't become the devil king? Is it a good thing to be the devil king? Now that death is coming, what is the difference between the devil king and others.

I should think clearly about what I want, because when the destruction comes, my heart is so desolate and meaningless, as if the destruction of hell has nothing to do with me, the devil, maybe because I have seen too many Death, have you become numb to death?

We are about to arrive at the city of Philosophy, and I am basically listless along the way, while Lipatia is in stark contrast to my state.She brought a lot of books on this trip and packed several big boxes, but what surprised me was that the books Lipatia picked were basically books about "God's will", and the books about magic theory There are very few books.

And Lipatia was carefully studying these dossiers about God's will along the way.

The so-called "God's will" is actually a long-standing subject.

A long time ago, demons still cared about God’s will. They seemed to think that they could leave hell. At that time, especially demons, mainly fallen angels, thought that they still had a chance to return to heaven. At that time, the relationship between demons and God was very delicate.

But with the passage of time, such naive illusions were naturally shattered in the end. There was a strong wave of anti-God in the hell, and a large number of dossiers about God's will were destroyed at that time, and most of what is left now are the researches on God's will of the seven major families.

Needless to say, these dossiers are quite old, and I don't think they have any other meaning other than being able to see how naive the demons were in the past.

So I really don't understand why Lipatia is still reading these files; in fact, when she first came to the Demon King's Palace, she had already read all these files, and I read most of them myself But - before attacking heaven - to be honest, I really didn't see any valuable content in it.

"Honey." Looking at Lipatia who was sitting at the table and carefully reading the words on the file with her fingers, I couldn't help calling her. "What are you looking at?"

She raised her head, as if in a trance, she stared at the front for two or three seconds in a daze, then turned her head to look at me in a daze for a long time.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"I said, what's the use of reading these now? This is not some magical theory. I really don't understand what your purpose is for bringing so many files of this kind."

"Well……"

Surprisingly, she didn't refute me angrily, but pouted a little aggrievedly and looked at the file on the table with a slight frown.

"What's the matter, why do you look so lost?"

"I don't know……"
