Do not engage in underworld operations in the human world!

This is a question that Jiang Lu has always been curious about.

The underworld was in great trouble, but it was Zeus who stepped forward.

This is not to say that it is wrong for Zeus to step in. After all, behind the Underworld is Mount Olympus. The relationship between the two is not just a matter of lips and teeth. The Underworld itself is the territory of Mount Olympus.

However, it is really strange that Hades never showed up once from beginning to end.

At first, Jiang Lu only thought that Hades had been responsible for facing the enemy in the underworld battlefield, but later he found that this was not the case.

He has never appeared in public since the opening of the underworld battlefield. Without his leadership, the underworld was caught off guard when facing the blitzkrieg of the underworld at the beginning, and it was difficult to form an effective resistance in a short period of time.

They were like a pile of loose sand, so the underworld could be said to be unstoppable during that period.

It was not until Zeus took over the battlefield that the situation gradually stabilized. After countless retreats, a defense line was finally established for the first time, turning the one-sided situation into a protracted offensive and defensive tug-of-war relying on favorable terrain.

War, in the final analysis, is all about money. Over the years, both sides have invested countless resources in it. Although the baptism of war has given birth to many powerful people on both sides, what is more, which will not be publicized, is the sacrifice of countless people.

But even in such a tragic situation, Hades never showed up once.

Where exactly is he, is he in some kind of trouble, or is he still alive? Even Lucifer, who has been paying close attention to the battlefield in the underworld and has infiltrated intelligence into various worlds, does not know the answers to these questions.

My own territory was attacked, but I could just stand by and do nothing?

This is impossible.

Jiang Lu could only guess that Hades couldn't show up for some reason.

Although he was not familiar with Hades, he was very familiar with Zeus and naturally had heard the other's evaluation of him.

In the mouth of Zeus, Hades is a reliable brother. Although he is powerful, he has a gentle personality. After the third generation of gods such as Zeus and Poseidon defeated the second generation of Titans, he was "invited" to the underworld by Zeus because of the inevitable power struggle, and he cut off contact with Zeus for a long time afterwards. However, when Zeus and Mount Olympus, which they built with their own hands, encountered real troubles, he would still come uninvited, and after helping Zeus solve the troubles, he left alone, leaving only a handsome back.

The relationship between the two is complicated. There is an irreparable gap between them, but that is only internal. If faced with external threats, they will stand together and fight side by side, showing tacit cooperation without the need for rehearsal.

From Jiang Lu's point of view, this is a man with a bad temper but who pays attention to principles. Although on the surface he does not seem to be as important to Poseidon and Zeus as Yuanshi Tianzun is in the hearts of the Queen Mother of the West and the King Father of the East, in fact, when things really happen, he is more reliable and trustworthy than Yuanshi Tianzun.

His previous conversation with Lucifer actually stigmatized their relationship a bit. In fact, the bond between Zeus and Hades was far stronger than anyone imagined. It was a classic case of "I can beat him, but others can't."

While Zeus was busy running around, Hades, the person involved, hid himself. This was not something Hades could do.

So Jiang Lu thought that Hades must be unable to escape from some trouble, or simply lost his freedom, and his inability to appear made the underworld fragile, which gave the Emperor of Yin an opportunity to take advantage of.

When so many coincidences are put together, they no longer look like coincidences.

So is there a possibility that the Yin Emperor knew about Hades' situation and knew that the underworld was leaderless, so he dared to launch a war with such fanfare?
In cross-border warfare, the attacking side is at an extreme disadvantage, not to mention that the target is a behemoth like the underworld. Even if the underworld has some advantages, it is definitely not decisive.

Even in this situation, Yin Di dared to fight across the border. Jiang Lu didn't believe that he didn't have any inside information.

Even if he is really such a reckless man, he has Nyarlathotep behind him, and that man will never make such a mistake.

So Jiang Lu, borrowing the identity of the messenger of hell, asked Yin Di this question face to face.

He didn't expect Yin Di to tell him everything, but as long as he could get a few words from him or see his reaction, that would be enough for him to make his own judgment.

"Where is Hades?" Yin Di was surprised that someone would suddenly ask this question. After a brief thought, he smiled and said, "I think you have to ask the people in the underworld, or if possible, you can also ask Zeus. Maybe he knows."

Yin Di's tone was a bit like coaxing a child.

Will I have a new toy for Christmas? Well, you'll have to ask Santa Claus.

But Jiang Lu came prepared. Since he asked, he had a reason that would force Yin Di to respond positively.

"Hades has never shown up on the battlefield of the Underworld. If he had been there from the beginning, the Underworld would not have achieved so many results when the Underworld War began. But we all know that Hades is not a character that is easier to deal with than Zeus. He is a person who can influence the situation of the war. If you can't tell where he is and whether he will give us a heavy blow at some point, then can I think that your assessment of the chance of victory is extremely subjective and one-sided, extremely self-righteous, and extremely ill-considered?"

After Jiang Lu said this, Yin Di's expression changed obviously.

He thought Jiang Lu was looking for trouble, but he didn't expect him to say something so plausible and well-founded.

Although these words interrupted his rhythm and made him feel a little embarrassed.

He originally wanted to fool people, but now it seems that this is not working. If he cannot give a satisfactory answer, then all the preparations made before will be in vain and people will start to doubt him again.

After carefully considering it, the participants from other worlds also turned their attention to the Yin Emperor.

The latter thought for a while and said slowly: "Hades is a threat. You are right about that. But you are wrong about one thing. It's not that I didn't consider him. If I didn't consider him, our chances of winning would increase by 10% or 20%. "

"Really?" Jiang Lu nodded: "Then where is he?"

"I don't know where he is, but I can assure you that I have taken him into consideration. You don't have to worry about that."

But Jiang Lu still insisted: "What do you think? Have you thought about when and where he will appear? If he appears, what measures will you take? After the full-scale war breaks out, can you guarantee that you will always have a hand in dealing with it?"

Yindi frowned: "Before answering, I want to ask, we have never met, right?"

Jiang Lu looked at Lucifer.

Now that things have come to this, Lucifer will of course stand with Jiang Lu.

He introduced Jiang Lu indifferently: "You really have never seen him. He just arrived in the underworld yesterday. He is the most outstanding young man in hell in recent years. You can regard him as my successor, the arrogant candidate." When these words came out, everyone who had a little knowledge of hell was shocked.

How outstanding and powerful must he be to be recognized by the strongest man in hell, the epitome of arrogance?

No wonder he acted as if he didn't take Yin Di seriously when talking to him. If he was an arrogant candidate, it wouldn't be surprising.

Yin Di narrowed his eyes, realizing that this was not a matter of Lucifer's men inexplicably getting sick and causing trouble, but was most likely something that came from Lucifer's personal instructions.

So he thought about it, and said to Lucifer seriously and solemnly: "From my conversation with you the past two days, I have understood your intention. In fact, Hell does not intend to join our alliance, right?
I have no objection to this. Every world has its own considerations, and I can understand that.

I believe you can see my sincerity. Even though I already know what you are thinking, I have still treated you well these days and given you the highest respect, right?
But I really don't understand. If you don't plan to join, then that's fine. Why do you want to ruin this thing? Don't you want to join, and don't want others to join? Or do you just not want to see the formation of the alliance?
Whatever the reason, even if it's hell, even if you represent arrogance, you shouldn't be so overbearing, right?"

Yin Di's words directly brought some tacit matters to the surface and pushed Lucifer to the opposite side of the alliance.

This is tantamount to saying that the questions Jiang Lu asked were not out of genuine concern for the alliance, but just to make trouble. The fact is that Lucifer did not intend to see the establishment of the alliance, which is why he allowed his subordinates to act recklessly.

If you want to refute him, then you have to express your opinion now.

But expressing one's stance now would seem like showing an eagerness to prove oneself, which would undoubtedly put one at a disadvantage in the confrontation.

And if Hell just doesn't want to join, then that confirms what he said, but if he never had this idea, then fine, you and Mount Sumeru can join together.

But it is impossible for Hell to join the alliance, so Lucifer and Jiang Lu can only remain silent.

Obviously, Yin Di had successfully diverted the conflict and did it perfectly.

Many people present also believed this - they originally thought that what you said made sense, but you did not stand with us, so you must have other intentions.

This is how many people view Lucifer now.

This made Jiang Lu feel for the first time that perhaps Yin Di was not as incompetent as he imagined. At least this on-the-spot reaction did give him a counterattack.

With his counterattack, nothing Hell said now made sense.

Since you don't plan to join the alliance, why are you asking so many questions? Your questions will have no effect other than destroying unity. We can discuss our own affairs privately, so you don't need to worry about them.

No matter what you ask, Yin Di can use this logic to refuse to respond.

As for other worlds, they would think that Hell does not want to join the alliance, but does not want to see the alliance established. This is a manifestation of fear, because once the alliance is established, these super worlds will no longer be able to cover the sky with one hand, so joining the alliance is equivalent to having the ability to compete with them.

Then no matter what Lucifer says, it cannot be believed.

In their eyes, hell is the image of a capitalist. Everything a capitalist does is bad. No matter what reasonable words hell says, to them, it is just nonsense like calling on young people not to care about salary when looking for a job, or to work overtime at work.

Jiang Lu felt a little tricky.

Although he did come here with the purpose of gathering information and destroying the alliance as much as possible, now that everything has been put on the table, he can't really do anything to destroy the alliance. Not only will it be counterproductive, it will also add fuel to the fire.

It is impossible for Jiang Lu to do something detrimental to Hell in front of Lucifer and under the banner of Hell.

But at this time, Lucifer took action.

"Then aren't you curious as to why I don't plan to join the alliance?"

The Yin Emperor put his private things on the table, but Lucifer was not afraid at all. He confronted him head-on with a very frank attitude.

Although Yin Di knew that if he accepted the call, there might be more trouble, but faced with such an attitude, he had no choice but to accept it.

You are so frank, but I avoid it. Doesn't it mean that I am guilty?
Therefore, Emperor Yin could only be very reluctant in his heart, but he pretended to be listening attentively on his face: "I would like to hear the details."

"Because." Lucifer knocked on the table and sighed, "You are completely insincere and really look down on me. This makes me feel very uncomfortable."

"Why do you say that?" This was really beyond Yin Di's expectations.

He really didn't understand how he could look down on Hell. In fact, before he guessed Lucifer's negative intentions, he really wanted to pull Hell into his camp. Although not to the point of being servile, they were almost brothers. He really couldn't understand how he could look down on the other party.

Lucifer gave the answer: "I gave you the greatest respect, but you treated me like an idiot."

He shook his head at Yin Di in disappointment: "My candidate's question was not asked by me, but where Hades is is also what I want to know.

I think you know where Hades is, but you don't want to tell me and you treat me like a fool.

Remember when I told you about the time we had just started the war with Hades? You acted so confident, as if you would have taken down Hades without Zeus's intervention.

But from beginning to end, in those battles that you showed off to me in an attempt to get my approval, you never mentioned Hades at all. He was not present in all your plans and arrangements. It is hard for me not to think that you knew that Hades was in some trouble and could not stop you, so you attacked the underworld recklessly and did not consider his existence at all.

And now, you say that you took him into account in your estimate of the winning rate, which only proves that my original opinion was not subjective.

Not only did you hide part of the truth from me, but you also thought I would be fooled by you."

Lucifer slapped the table hard, and the wood shattered. The crisp sound echoed in the huge conference room, shocking everyone.

He questioned Yindi angrily, who looked evasive and panicky:

"What do you think I am?!" (End of this chapter)
