Chapter 438 Lucifer is a Thief
Originally, it was the Yin Emperor who labeled Hell as the opposition of the alliance. In this way, no matter what they say, they are all trying to destroy the unity of the alliance and are exposed as traitors. Even if they have reasons and evidence, it is difficult for people to believe them at the first time.
Everyone will subconsciously look at hell——
Is he right? Although it sounds reasonable, there must be another reason, right?
If Hell had no intention of joining the alliance, then their original intention must be bad, because if it is none of your business, then why should you care? Why should you help someone who was not knocked down by you?
This logic may sound a bit bandit-like, but unfortunately, it is the norm.
But what Yin Di never expected was that Lucifer could actually give a reason for not joining the alliance.
It's not his own fault, nor is it due to his indecisiveness. The problem lies with Yin Di himself.
Lucifer's meaning was very simple: It's not that I don't want to join the alliance, but your attitude makes it difficult for me. You treat me like a fool, and I'm already giving you face by not getting angry with you on the spot. But now you're being aggressive, so it seems that I have to say these things that I originally didn't intend to say.
Then the situation was reversed again.
At this time, everyone discovered that hell and everyone's position on this matter were no different. Everyone came to the underworld with the same expectations. If there was no sincerity, then there was no need to come from afar.
The only difference is that because of Hell's high status, it can know some inside information earlier than everyone else.
This is understandable. Powerful worlds and their powerful leaders not only control more resources in the universe, but also have more information. There is nothing to complain about.
The inside story is that the Yin Emperor is not sincere towards his allies.
If it is their little world, then naturally they won't feel anything. If it is insincere, then it is insincere. As long as the benefits promised to me are sincere, then everything is fine.
But for Lucifer, there is certainly no need for Hell to suffer such anger.
The underworld is powerful now, but it is not at its peak. Perhaps only if the underworld wins this time's battle, the Yin Emperor will have the possibility to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Yin Lord in the past, or even surpass him.
But hell is always in its peak state, and Lucifer is so ruthless that even God has to give in to him.
And who is God? Judging only by the number of believers and the countless branches below, Heaven is definitely the top existence among all the heavens and worlds. In comparison, Mount Xumi, the Three Pure Realms, Mount Olympus, and giants like the World Tree are all in the second tier.
Apart from anything else, the Emperor of the Underworld has been fighting hard against the underworld without Hades until now, and now he has to rely on alliances to face counterattacks. But Lucifer is a ruthless man who dares to confront heaven with only hell. It is easy to tell who is superior and who is inferior at a glance.
So after knowing the inside story, Lucifer did not indulge Yin Emperor. This was a privilege exclusive to the strong, and they had the power to do whatever they wanted.
He was not targeting the Alliance, but only the Yin Emperor and his underworld.
Therefore, what he did was not to destroy the alliance, but rather to safeguard the rights of everyone present who might join the alliance in the future.
He was sounding the alarm in front of everyone as someone who had seen through the true face of the Yin Emperor and was originally considering whether to join the alliance.
They are already cheating before the alliance is even organized, so what about in the future?
If Yin Di is compared to a businessman, then the alliance is a commodity, or a company. What he is doing now is to attract investors and invite people to buy shares.
But it is obvious that he is the biggest beneficiary, but he is unwilling to show even the most basic trust and integrity, and does things like deceiving consumers and shareholders. So is he still a trustworthy and reliable partner?
"I think you need to give us an explanation."
The participant from the other world, who was at the head of the meeting and never expressed his opinion no matter what happened, questioned the Yin Emperor.
He is the third spokesperson of the First World to speak out after Mount Sumeru and Hell.
Each of the four worlds is of great importance to Yin Emperor and requires sufficient energy to deal with. But now, two worlds have doubts about the alliance, which makes Yin Emperor feel a little annoyed.
He forced a smile, trying to remain as graceful as possible.
"I will give a reasonable explanation, of course I will. I am not a person without sincerity. I believe everyone can see that. I just..."
But before he could finish his words, someone from the last participating world from the First World took over his words.
"He's just a little too cautious."
The Kingdom of Heaven is located in the center. An old man holding a wooden staff chuckled and said:
"It seems to me that way."
His tone was very gentle, but it carried an unquestionable meaning. When he said this, it seemed as if things were just like that. He was making a qualitative assessment, not discussing or speculating.
"Who is this old guy?" Jiang Lu quickly captured the old man's physical features with his unique tinted glasses and exaggeratedly described him. He whispered to Lucifer, "His face is more curved than Zhu Yuanzhang's, like a dilator split in half. No wonder he likes to show off so much."
Jiang Lu never gives a good face or a friendly attitude to those who like to speak for Yin Di.
Lucifer still couldn't stand Jiang Lu's metaphor, which was somewhat concrete and could trigger associations, and answered him in a low voice: "This is Nannar, the third generation of Sumer's highest-ranking god, known as the Old Man of the Moon. His father Enlil is the Supreme God, and his grandparents are the creator gods An, the Father God, and Qi, the Mother God."
"The moon? Isn't the moon round?"
"Maybe it was created like this on purpose to distinguish him from the Sun God."
After saying this, Lucifer himself was stunned for a moment, and then felt that he was probably contaminated by Jiang Lu's meme.
At the same time, Old Man Moon was talking, seemingly trying to find a reasonable reason for what Emperor Yin did.
“Being cautious is a good thing, and as the master of a world, you must always be cautious.
Of course, I don’t mean to say that Lucifer is not a trustworthy person. If he is a companion, he is certainly trustworthy. "
Old Man Moon paused, sighed, and then continued:
“However, we also know that he was not Yin Di’s companion at that time, nor is he now, and perhaps he will not be in the future.
This is regrettable, but unavoidable.
The cautious Yin Emperor would certainly not reveal some important information to someone who is not sure whether he will join the alliance. If he did so, in my opinion it would be worse than his unwillingness to tell us the real situation at the first time.
Because it means that he can't stand secrets, and people who can't stand secrets are untrustworthy and may betray everyone at any time.
Fortunately, Yin Di did not do so.
Although we all know that Lucifer is not the kind of person who would steal secrets and then turn to Zeus, we should still be happy that even though Yin Di knew that Lucifer was not such a person, he still kept the secret. This means that if we cooperate, then those things that are most important to us will be guarded by him with great determination, even if it may not have any impact if it is revealed, he will not do so.
He has proven this with his actions.”
He nodded to Yin Di with good intentions, and then continued:
“In my opinion, there is no right or wrong in this matter. They are both right.
If we have to find fault with him, it is that Yin Di is too inflexible. Of course, this is a good thing for everyone, because he will never betray his friends no matter what. Even when faced with the choice of perhaps revealing his past in order to win over a powerful partner like Hell, he did not waver.
The problem with Lucifer is that he is too wise. He saw through the flaws that Yin Di himself failed to notice, so because of his sensitivity and pride, he rejected the olive branch thrown by Yin Di without any explanation. For this, I can only express my regret. It is really a pity.
In essence, this is just a misunderstanding and it shouldn’t have gotten to this point.”
After hearing what he said, Jiang Lu felt that he should have caught the wolf.
Unexpectedly, Lucifer's guess was correct. Xumishan was just a young man and a gambler who was willing to take risks, but he was not really a spy hired by the Yin Emperor in advance.
Although Xumishan's statement was too simple, it is understandable when you think about it carefully.
They are in the stage of seeking change and are in urgent need of such an opportunity.
But looking at the Old Man in the Moon, although he seemed to be a reasonable person, all he said were words to smooth things over and smooth things over.
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
But just as the first impression he gave Jiang Lu just now, what he said seemed to be words of reconciliation at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, it is actually also a characterization of the matter.
Not only that, he also confused cause and effect and confused right and wrong.
It was obvious that Yin Di concealed important information, but he described this as an advantage and a manifestation of Yin Di's ability to keep secrets.
And his argument was even more exaggerated. He took Lucifer's dissatisfaction as the best proof of this conclusion. If Yin Di could remain unshakable in the face of such an opportunity, then everyone could safely entrust their secrets or backs to him, and he would definitely not betray anyone.
As for his final conclusion, it was even more sinister.
Although he seemed to be praising Lucifer's intelligence, his guiding words were actually belittling Lucifer.
He said in the previous second that a leader needs to be cautious and steady, and in the next second he said that Lucifer is sensitive and proud. This is tantamount to saying that as the leader of Hell, he is a very emotional person. He does not consider the difficulties of the Yin Emperor at all and refuses to cooperate just because he feels that the other party looks down on him.
Was he refusing cooperation? He was refusing a possible way out of hell.
The most vicious thing is that he said that Lucifer rejected Yin Di without explanation. What does this mean? It means that Lucifer has a complicated mind and is a person who often gets angry because of trivial matters and does things that others don't understand.
Such a person is difficult to get along with and difficult to trust with your heart, because you never know when he will abandon you because of an unintentional act and stab you in the back on some important occasion in the future, just like now.
Comparing with him, looking at Yin Di, he is not only honest and tight-lipped, but he was also able to respond positively to this point at today's meeting. Isn't this a clear distinction between the two?
This is a typical case of criticizing one and praising the other.
Lucifer's various character flaws are used to highlight the maturity of the Yin Emperor, thereby expressing the central idea that the alliance facilitated by him is trustworthy.
These words not only cleared Yin Di, but also blocked all of Lucifer's paths.
It is true that he gave Lucifer a way out, but he also eliminated the possibility of Lucifer influencing the alliance again. It's a bit of a pity, but it's better to part ways in peace and not give Lucifer any chance to fight back.
But he did leave a crack in the door for Lucifer.
Lucifer could still get Hell to join the alliance, so it wouldn't be a pity, but would Lucifer really do that? Of course not. If he really did that, wouldn't his pride and all his previous rhetoric become a joke?
Moreover, if we put aside the past grudges now, although it seems to be a perfect ending, what will be the subsequent impact? Will Lucifer be considered to have given in? Will Hell's position in the alliance be affected?
The result was predictable.
"No wonder it's the Old Man of the Moon and not the Old Man of the Sun. He's so dark." Jiang Lu muttered, secretly looking at Lucifer's face.
His expression at this moment was already very gloomy.
And because of his objectively existing sensitivity and pride, he might have heard something that Jiang Lu didn't even notice.
"Do you like to put labels on people so much?"
Lucifer asked calmly, his eyes were calm, but Jiang Lu beside him could feel that something terrible seemed to be brewing in those eyes as silent as the sea.
The air pressure around him even made Asmodeus and Samael breathless, and they subconsciously turned their bodies to the side.
"I am not making accusations, I am just stating the facts objectively."
Old Man Moon looked directly at Lucifer:
"The facts as I saw them."
Lucifer took a deep breath and said, "There is an old saying in the underworld, which is that appearance is determined by the heart."
As he said this, he looked at Jiang Lu.
Just when Jiang Lu was confused, Lucifer suddenly smiled and said:
"Look at how bent your face is. It looks like a dilator split in half. No wonder you always say such nasty things."
Although he made some changes, Jiang Lu could still tell at once that he was borrowing from him.
"Oh my god, what a thief!" he exclaimed in a low voice, and then frowned: "But doesn't it smell good?"
"What did you say?!"
Old Man Moon couldn't believe it and began to doubt his own ears.
The next second, terrifying waves erupted from his body. Several unlucky representatives with divine power who were close to him in the back row were knocked over by his pressure. When they raised their heads again, they were already frightened out of their wits.
"Say it again?!" (End of this chapter)
