Chapter 538 How strong is Lilith

In the world of Diablo, Sanctuary, High Heaven and Flame Hell are physically separated from each other. High Heaven and Flame Hell belong to different purgatory spaces, while Sanctuary is sandwiched between Hidden in the gap between the two.

However, due to the existence of the portal, these three places are related to each other in terms of space concept. That is to say, in theory, mortals in the Sanctuary can go to the high-level heaven and the flame hell.

However, in the thousands of years of history of Sanctuary, the rumors about the high-level heaven and the **** of flames handed down are quite rare, and the description of these rumors is only a general concept.

If the high heaven is because of the arrogance of the angels and the disdain for mortals, so mortals are forbidden to enter the high heaven, then the **** of flames is because of the cruel and terrible environment, so the weak mortals are rejected. .

Unlike the high-level heaven that closed most of the portals, the Hell of Flames is actually open to the Sanctuary. The demons dream of invading the world of Sanctuary. Naturally, it will not restrict the exchanges between the Hell of Flames and the Sanctuary.

On the former site of Zakarum Cathedral in Trivank, there used to be the largest gate to **** so far, which is in the deepest part of the ground of Zakarum Cathedral. Of course, this gate of **** has been destroyed now. Along with the cathedral, it has been reduced to ruins.

This gate of **** was the portal opened when Mephisto Diablo and the three Baal brothers were “rebelled” by the four demon kings of Andariel and then expelled to the Sanctuary, and finally returned to the Hell of Flames .

The three Mephisto brothers were expelled. At that time, it was a conspiracy planned by the seven demon kings. Due to the original sin war, Lilith, one of the creators of Sanctuary, was exiled again to the void, while the other creator Inaris became the With the bargaining chip of the high-level heaven, the angels handed Inaris to the **** side, on the condition that the flame **** must be the same as the high-level heaven, and can no longer enter the world of Sanctuary.

Obviously, this is an agreement, a contract. The angels sensed the amazing power of the Nephalem and did not want the Nephalem to be used by the devil, so they found a way to make such a contract.

However, they forgot that demons are the best at exploiting contract loopholes. They were expelled under the pretext of “rebellion”. The three Mephisto brothers bypassed the contract with the high-level heaven and were able to enter the Sanctuary again. When they corrupted the Zakarum Cult and achieved their goal, there was this huge gate to **** in the cathedral.

The gate of **** opened by the joint efforts of the three demon gods is quite magnificent and huge. It was originally used to let the blazing **** invade the Sanctuary, but the devils were not very lucky, and this plan was eventually rejected. The high heavens discovered that the Nephalems, with the help of Tyrael, worked together to destroy the gate of hell.

If this gate of **** is still there, you can enter the space where the **** of flames is located by crossing this portal.

As soon as you come out of the gate of hell, the first thing you see is the fortress of demons. This is the outermost periphery of the flaming hell. There are all kinds of demons who are not in the mainstream, and those who died in the eternal battle and cannot return. Souls , The Demon Fortress can be said to be the main place where the Hell of Flames will meet the enemy in the eternal battle. The angel army of the high heaven has also hit here countless times. In order to prevent the angels from continuing to attack the depths of the Hell of Flame, the demons They have established a large number of defenses here, and all kinds of ferocious and sturdy fortresses with open teeth and claws stand together on the top of the mountain, forming a powerful fortress, which is the origin of the name of the fortress.

After crossing the fortress of demons, there is the Plain of Despair. The Plain of Despair belongs to the painful realm of the **** of flames. It is the area under the control of Andariel, the Queen of Pain. It is filled with poisonous ashes all day long, and even breathing will make people feel pain, and these pains Will make Andariel feel very happy.

If the Queen of Pain Andariel enjoys mental pain, then her brother Duriel enjoys physical pain, which is why Duriel is called the King of Torment, his territory The Tormented Land is next to Andariel’s territory.

Passing through the Plain of Despair and going deeper, it is the City of Punishment. The City of Punishment is almost close to the center of the Hell of Flames. It used to belong to the edge of the Lord of Destruction’s territory. Baal likes to destroy, and it always builds a lot. Mighty buildings resembling mortal churches, and then destroying them all, is just the most trivial of the many destruction games of Lord of Destruction.

There are bones scattered everywhere in the City of Punishment, and there are many chained souls rolling in the darkness. The dark and oppressive ground is cracked in many places, and you can glimpse the river of flames in the next layer.

And the River of Fire is the most iconic area of ​​the Hell of Flames, no one.

This is a vast sea of ​​magma, which is mixed with winding rock paths. The river of flames seems to be the source of energy for the **** of flames. This is also the core area of ​​the realm of destruction controlled by Baal. Demons have built many forgings here. Forge, use fire and lava to create demon weapons with dark powers to arm the demon army.

The source of the River of Fire comes from the depths of the Chaos Demon Temple, the central area of ​​the Realm of Fear governed by Diablo, which is next to the Realm of Destruction.

Chaos Demon Temple is Diablo’s hidden residence. Deep underground is the source of the River of Fire. This is a huge cross-shaped building, similar to a broken cathedral, but the cathedral is surrounded by flames and lava. As time passed, lava and blood scorched the exterior of the Chaos Demon Temple.

Inside the Chaos Devil Palace, piles of skulls are hidden at the bottom of the walls, and countless skulls are scattered on the floor and piled up in the cracks of the walls, surrounded by hot magma, lava and huge torches standing on the ground, giving chaos The Devil’s Temple brought a terrifying glimmer of light, illuminating the souls who were locked on the pillars and could not rest in peace.

Flame Hell is not a whole piece like high-level heaven, but is divided into seven realms. The seven realms of **** are isolated from each other by the void. Each realm is an independent space bubble, which can be reached by portals. Each realm is controlled by a demon king, and its environment is also different, but in general, it is extremely cruel. The environment here is so similar to the abyss world, and I don’t know if it was like this when the flame **** was formed. , or was gradually transformed into this by the Seven Demon Kings.

The reason why there are so many descriptions is because there is a fact that the Hell of Flames is now full, and each of the seven demon kings has an area under their control.

This is a very funny thing. Mephisto brought in Luo Yin as a foreign aid from the abyss world, but he never seemed to think about how the site would be divided if Luo Yin wanted to enter the Hell of Flames.

This is actually not to blame for Mephisto, even he did not expect that after Luo Yin intervened in this world, the high-level heaven would collapse so quickly.

It may also be because the Seven Demon Kings and the high-level heaven have been fighting for so long in this world. It can be said that the two sides are not familiar with each other any more, and their thinking has formed a habit and a set pattern, so they have been unable to fight back and forth. The winner was decided, and when Luo Yin, an outsider, suddenly stepped in, the high-level heaven didn’t have the slightest understanding of his power, so when facing Luo Yin, it would collapse at the touch of a button.

The high-level heaven has been destroyed, and the problem immediately arises, because the Seven Demon Kings regard the Sanctuary as a forbidden place. After all, the Sanctuary has countless souls for them to seize, and there are powerful Nephalem powers that can be used by them. High-level heaven Already down, Sanctuary is the most delicious fruit of victory they can get. They can’t let Luo Yin get involved, so they can’t let Luo Yin continue to stay in Sanctuary: they are afraid that Luo Yin will sneak away first.

After escaping from the dark soul stone, the Seven Demon Kings are still recovering. They need to recover the wounds in their souls and re-condense their powerful bodies. Under such circumstances, their strength has declined. From Luo Yin’s attack on high-level heaven Judging from the strength they showed at the time, they didn’t have much chance of winning against Luo Yin alone. On the contrary, in the **** of flames, the seven demon kings could join forces to fight against Luo Yin.

So, after the end of the high-level heaven war, Mephisto couldn’t wait to invite Luo Yin to the Hell of Flames as a guest.

The Seven Demon Kings have joined forces to fight against the high-level heaven in this world for many years. Although they are a little bit naughty with each other, the overall friendship is still there, but when facing Luo Yin, an outsider, the filth between them is all. let go.

Just like the Angus Council organized by the angels, the Seven Demon Kings also formed a loose council called the Hellfire Council. This name is not as famous as the Angus Council, and even many demons in the Hell of Flame may not have heard of it. However, this council put it bluntly, that is, the Seven Demon Kings get together to discuss things, and there are no rules and regulations and programs of action.

The place where the Hellfire Council was held was in Diablo’s Chaos Demon Temple. In a room full of powerful dark forces in the deepest part of the Demon Temple, there were seven huge dark thrones. Arranged in order, the Seven Demon Kings each have a throne here.

In the pervading dark fog, the strange bodies of the Seven Demon Kings are looming, and their shining demon children are the only light source in the darkness, making this picture so eerie.

As for Luo Yin, he was sitting next to the three dark thrones above.

It has been several days since the Hellfire Council held this time. From the very beginning, Andariel and the four demon kings were dissatisfied with Luo Yin’s seat. They didn’t accept such a seat until they were hammered by Luo Yin one by one. , and then about the next treatment of the high-level paradise prisoners of war, the seven devil kings all know that Tyrell’s soul is now in Luo Yin’s hands, and for the justice Archangel Tyrell, the seven devil kings hate him more than Impris. More than that, when Inarius fell into the hands of Mephisto and the others, his eyes were cut off, his wings and hands and feet were tortured to this day. It is conceivable that if Tyrael fell into their hands, what kind of tragic situation would it be? .

However, for the request of the Seven Demon Kings, Luo Yin was just two words: “No!”

For Tyrell, Luo Yin has his own use, so no matter how the Seven Demon Kings hint, how to give conditions, or even coercion, Luo Yin has only one attitude, never give it!

The Seven Demon Kings and Luo Yin talked for a few days, and the saliva was dry, and Luo Yin could not be shaken at all, so in the end, he had to give up temporarily and turned to Luo Yin to ask for another trophy.

This trophy, found in the ruins of the crystal arch, is a… key that condenses the power of the powerful Holy Light! After the Seven Demon Kings studied this thing, it turned out to be the real core of Anu’s Crest Crystal. After the original huge crystal of Anu’s Crest collapsed, it seemed that the remaining Holy Light power finally condensed into this key.

Even Mephisto can’t guess what this key of light is. The only one who might know about it is Imperius, but Imperius has self-destructed and died, so what exactly is this thing? It’s hard to tell what it’s useful for.

However, combined with the origin of the high-level heaven, after discussing the Seven Demon Kings, they felt that this thing might be the key to Yindian!

Yindian, that is, Yindian Garden! It is the original place of heaven, the true birthplace of all angels and holy lights, and the ultimate and highest level of heaven. Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, these famous original archangels are stationed in Yindian. middle.

Since heaven is at war with demons in thousands of worlds, various levels of heaven have also been derived. These heavens are the secondary military bases of angels, supporting the eternal war between angel legions and demons.

This was confirmed by interrogating Tyrell’s soul. The higher-order heaven belongs to the next-level heaven below Yindian, and even the higher-order heaven is still related to Yindian. Tyrell once projected from Yindian. In the book of truth that came, I found Luo Yin’s name, which is the proof.

However, just as the Seven Demon Kings thought, the only person responsible for contacting Yin Dian is Impris in the entire high-level heaven. The place of contact is also in the crystal arch, and it is estimated that it is with the Crest of Anu. Crystal is related, but it is not clear whether this Holy Light key is the key to open the gate of Yindian Heaven. It should also be the Star Soul Titan, and it should be a Star Soul Titan with both light and dark powers. Otherwise, it will not correspond to the creation myth of this world.

In Luo Yin’s guess, this world should have given birth to a star-soul titan first, but this star-soul titan wanted to separate the two types of himself because of his death, and ended up losing himself. Two purgatory spaces of high-level heaven and flaming **** have been formed. Angels and demons just discovered this world and settled in. Then because the history of the eternal battle is too long, the angels and demons here are faintly independent. Therefore, they rarely mentioned the origins of the two parties themselves, and finally acquiesced to the myth of Anu’s creation.

Luo Yin felt that if his guess was correct, then this world might be the “sowing ground” of the Star Soul Titan. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain that after Anu, the Star Soul Titan, the Sanctuary actually gave birth to a tower. Geor, such a new star soul titan.

In short, no matter what the Holy Light key is, this is one of Luo Yin’s chips now. For this key, he did not hold on to it like he did with Tyrell’s soul, but promised to take it out. Give it to the Seven Demon Kings, but you have to exchange it accordingly.

After all, if this key can really open the door of Yindian, Luo Yin does not have the courage to attack Yindian Paradise. In addition, if the key is to open the door to the birthplace of Star Soul Titan, it is also very dangerous. Let them go if they die, Luo Yin didn’t want to get involved.

Since this key is potentially very risky, Luo Yin does not intend to hold it, not to mention that this thing has to be used together with the cornerstone of the flaming hell: the furnace of hell, so Luo Yin did not ask too much. After exchanging a considerable number of souls from the Seven Demon Kings, he also gave away the keys.

After all these are done, the main event finally comes, which is about the distribution of the cake of Sanctuary.

In fact, according to the level of Demon King, ordinary souls and the like, Mephisto and the others have long despised them. The population of Sanctuary is not very high, and the number of souls that can be obtained is naturally very limited. , The Seven Demon Kings shouldn’t be so concerned about Sanctuary.

But this is actually wrong. The quality of the human souls in the Sanctuary world can be said to be beyond imagination. In addition to the influence of the Nephalem bloodline, this world has suffered too many hardships! Just as Tyrael can see the tenacity and kindness of the mortals born here under the ordeal, the devil can also see the distortion and darkness in the hearts of the mortals here under the ordeal!

War is actually the most test of human nature. The world of Sanctuary has been repeatedly baptized by both high-level heaven and flame hell. The human soul here can be said to have super-high quality that humans in other worlds cannot have.

Either Uldyssian is like a saint, or he is crazy and twisted like Skeleton King Leoric… In short, the mortal souls of this Sanctuary world are very attractive to the Seven Demon Kings.

In the early years, if the Seven Devils invaded Sanctuary only because of the World Stone, then after the World Stone was destroyed, the Seven Devils’ coveted Sanctuary had also been transferred to Nephalem.

In particular, Mephisto and the others had all participated in the original sin war. They had seen the powerful power that erupted from Uldyssian, and they were very clear about the power of Nephalem. Out of control, when the restriction of the World Stone on the Nephalems no longer exists, then the Nephalems are on the verge of losing control while their power is growing, and the Nephalems who will lose their humanity after losing control, will It will completely fall into the darkness, and it will become the best thug and tool used by the devils!

Imagine if Luo Yin went to attack a certain world, with hundreds of thousands of Dante and Virgil behind him, or hundreds of thousands of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, what would it be like?

Not to mention the Seven Devils, even Luo Yin wanted this world a little after he figured it out…

So when he saw the extremely greedy expression on the faces of the Seven Demon Kings, Luo Yin understood that it was impossible to convince the Seven Demon Kings to withdraw to the abyss world and keep the Sanctuary for himself.

What Luo Yin said to Tyrrell before has really become a reality, and he is afraid that he will really have a fight with the Seven Devils.

It’s not uncommon for demons to turn allies into enemies, so Luo Yin didn’t participate in the dispute over the division of the cake between the Seven Demon Kings, but quietly watched their mutual filial piety.

Of course he won’t reveal his thoughts on Sanctuary here, but maybe his silence is a bit abnormal, so Mephisto noticed it, and Mephisto roared a few times, suppressing the rest of the demon kings After the sound of his voice, he turned to Luo Yin and said, “Osiris, don’t you have any idea about Sanctuary? Don’t worry, say your request, we will try our best to satisfy you!”

Royin glanced at Mephisto, then looked at Diablo, Baal, Andariel, Duriel, Azmodan and Belial who were sitting a little below, and sneered: “I don’t want to. I speak because I don’t think it makes any sense to discuss this now, Mephisto, don’t forget, you saw Lilith’s return in the future clip, as the mother of the Nephalem, you want to If the Sanctuary is included in the bag, you must pass the Lilith level. Before you defeat Lilith, what you discussed is all empty talk!”

“That’s right!” Mephisto nodded and said, “And this is the reason why I found you from the abyss, Osiris, I am here to promise you on behalf of the Hellfire Council, as long as you work with us. Defeat Lilith, then you will be the one who gets the biggest cake in the allocation of Sanctuary!”

“Let’s talk about this separately!” Luo Yin waved his hand, looked at Mephisto with a serious face, and asked, “Tell me honestly, how strong is Lilith…? Will it be worth your jealousy?”

“…” Mephisto and Diablo looked at each other blankly, and after a moment of hesitation, they said, “To be honest, I don’t know very well, Lilith’s fighting power in the past was only a mere An ordinary demon king, even Andariel is inferior, but that has been a matter of thousands of years, and now that she has been exiled to the void for many years, we don’t know what her true strength is…”

“Then why did you bring me here so solemnly?” Luo Yin asked suspiciously, frowning.

“Because, in the future clip, I saw… Lilith holding Diablo’s skull!” Mephisto said gloomily: “Not only that, I even saw her killing all our demons. , I, Diablo, Baal, and Andariel all died at the hands of Lilith…”
