Although fallen angels and demons are both very proud races who look down on other gods and demons, they have their own pride and persistence when it comes to knowledge and history. Their records are very detailed and comprehensive, neither deliberately vilifying nor hypocritically beautifying, faithfully recording the true face of history.
With the help of the books in these two clans, Li Wei learned a lot of very entertaining things, as well as the dark history of each pantheon.
For example, Zeus, the handsome but promiscuous king of the Greek pantheon, is now a lone warrior because he was struck in the groin by his wife Hera. Fortunately, he is still a viable warrior.
Then there's Odin, the king of the Norse pantheon. He didn't sacrifice his eye for the Well of Wisdom. Instead, he made a bet with a king of gods who had already been destroyed. Odin lost the bet, and his eye was taken out and placed on a pig. This pig, because it possessed the king of gods' eye, has lived to this day and was recruited by the Eastern Heavenly Court to become a member of the Heavenly Court.
The fact that Odin lost an eye on a pig is something that no one in the entire Norse pantheon dares to mention.
It was precisely because he knew so much about demons and angels that Li Wei knew what these fallen angels were up to. It was just a delaying tactic. As soon as they returned to their own race, they would immediately gather a group of people to cause him trouble.
Himejima Akeno whispered to Li Wei, "These people are lying. The surrender of the fallen angels is just an act. They will only be loyal to themselves."
Li Wei chuckled softly, "I know, so their future is already sealed. Although the person behind the scenes hasn't shown up yet, once we get rid of these unlucky guys, the other side won't be able to sit still and will inevitably show up to meet me sooner or later."
Himejima Akeno nodded. As long as Levi wasn't deceived by the fallen angels, she wasn't worried. Although she didn't know much about the fallen angels, she knew that their cunning and cruelty were no less than those of demons. Being kind to them was being cruel to oneself.
Li Wei took a step forward, looking down at the fallen angels kneeling on the ground, and said, "There are many who want to be loyal to me, and they also have their own desires. All intelligent beings have desires, and I can accept that. My subordinates are either loyal but incompetent, or capable but not loyal enough, but no matter what, they are always loyal to me. They are willing to give everything for me, even their own lives."
Li Wei's tone changed; it began like a spring breeze, but in the end, it was like the cold winter wind of Siberia, making the fallen angels feel chilled to the bone.
Li Wei said, "I admire fallen angels because they are an absolutely unconquerable race. Therefore, you will never truly be loyal to me. In that case, what use are you to me?"
The fallen angel suddenly raised his head and said, "I am willing to offer my soul, I am willing to engrave your name deep in my soul, and I will be your most loyal blade."
Li Wei said, "You don't meet my requirements. As I said before, there is no perfect existence in the world. Loyalty and strength are always difficult to have at the same time. As long as someone has these qualities, I am willing to accept him as my subordinate. However, you have nothing. Moreover, I don't need to harbor resentment towards my subordinates. Such a time bomb is detrimental to me and even to the battle groups below."
Li Wei narrowed his eyes slightly. The Fallen Angels were inherently unruly beings. If they could be tamed, they wouldn't have betrayed the God of the Bible in the first place.
If you want to find a morally perfect person in this world, you'll have a much higher chance of finding one in Heaven. Unfortunately, the angels in Heaven won't be willing to follow Li Wei because their moral compass cannot accept following such an evil lord.
After Li Wei finished speaking, he waved his hand, and all the fallen angels who were kneeling on the ground turned into ashes.
Himejima Akeno sighed inwardly. Fate is fickle. If these fallen angels hadn't plotted against her, she wouldn't have ended up like this, dead and gone. She could sense that those fallen angels really had nothing left behind; perhaps they had been annihilated, body and soul, by Li Wei.
With Li Wei's abilities, doing such a thing would be very simple, so she didn't think much of it.
Li Wei sensed that within the Soul-Swept Bell, he had already sent all the fallen angels inside, and now they were joining the gods of the Shiva pantheon to prepare for their doom.
Of course, it was inappropriate to do such a thing in front of Himejima Akeno, so he used illusion magic to confuse Himejima Akeno's senses, making her believe that he had annihilated all the fallen angels.
Li Wei's skill in illusion was quite high; even the so-called Demon King couldn't see through his illusions. So using them to confuse Himejima Akeno's senses was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
After the fallen angels were dealt with, the hot spring hotel building, which had been floating in the air, seemed to reverse time, quickly returning to its original state from its fragmented state. The hotel, which had been dismantled into pieces, became intact again in just a few seconds.
Li Wei said, "The owner here needs to find a new manager. Hopefully, the next owner won't be another fallen angel. With the owner gone, we'll have to handle the departure procedures ourselves."
Himejima Akeno nodded. She had been quite happy at the hot spring inn these past two days, and she would have been even happier if it weren't for the attack by the fallen angel.
Chapter 4. The Visit from the Norse Pantheon
After completing the formalities, Li Wei and Akeno Himejima left the hot spring inn. The barrier that was difficult for those fallen angels to break was as fragile as paper to him; he could destroy it with a light touch of his finger.
Because the human world was not peaceful at the moment, with fallen angels' spies everywhere, Li Wei sent Himejima Akeno to the entrance to the demon world.
Li Wei smiled and said, "See you at school tomorrow."
Himejima Akeno had her hands behind her back and leaned slightly forward, looking rather playful.
Himejima Akeno beckoned with her finger, a mysterious expression on her face, and said, "Li Wei-kun, come closer, I have something I want to tell you."
Li Wei bent down slightly, just like when he was a child whispering to the girl sitting next to him at the desk.
Just then, Himejima Akeno tiptoed and gently kissed Li Wei on the cheek before running towards the tram station at the entrance to the Demon World.
She hadn't run far when, after Himejima Akeno entered the tram station area, she turned around, waved to Li Wei, and laughed loudly, "See you tomorrow!"
Li Wei gently touched the spot on his face where he had been kissed. He had to admit that both demons and fallen angels were quite direct when it came to feelings, without much ambiguity.
The demon race is very tolerant of powerful individuals in many ways. Just like in the human body, with the arrival of the new era, the traditional old-fashioned marriage system has disintegrated. However, in the demon realm, this tradition has continued for an unknown period of time, which can be traced back to the ancient times when the demon civilization was still in a barbaric stage.
Some instincts etched into one's bloodline do not change with the passage of time. From the moment Akeno Himejima became a demon, she was already influenced by the traditions of demons hidden within her bloodline.
After watching Himejima Akeno's figure disappear into the station, Li Wei was thinking about how to deal with Coca-Cola. He was never one to be passively attacked. Since the other side had already made a move, he would make a move in return to show fairness.
Li Wei returned to the attic, noting beforehand that he wanted Eubeluna to prepare his dinner. Nothing noteworthy happened in the attic during Li Wei's two-day absence.
The real big events aren't happening in the attic, but outside. For example, the Norse pantheon's delegation to visit the demon race has already set out.
What's intriguing is that both gods and demons possess incredibly fast mobility. For the Norse gods, traveling from the entrance to the demon realm in Japan would be as easy as taking a stroll. However, the Norse gods chose to use human transportation, traveling at a speed that seemed incredibly slow to them. To those unaware of the situation, the Norse gods' actions appeared utterly insane.
Li Wei calculated the time. At the current speed, it would take the Norse gods at least several days to travel eastward. This was only because there were direct flights from Europe to Tokyo; otherwise, the delay would have been even longer.
Time flew by, and the plane carrying the Norse gods landed at Narita Airport in Tokyo.
As someone who enjoys stirring up trouble, Li Wei naturally couldn't miss such a lively event.
The arrival of the Norse gods was quite a grand event. The fallen angels and demons put aside their prejudices and each brought a considerable number of people to wait at the airport.
It was past 10 p.m., and the entire airport was brightly lit. In the arrival hall, two groups of people stood separately, clearly separated. Whether they were demons or angels, they were all dressed in black suits. In addition, both sides had Western-looking faces, so it felt like a gathering of foreign gangs. Passengers who got off the plane instinctively avoided the two groups with their strange atmosphere.
Japan is a bizarre country where organized crime can legally exist, so when foreign tourists see this, they don't even bother to take out their phones to take pictures and simply leave, no one wanting to cause trouble for themselves.
The leaders of the fallen angels and demons are the leaders of their respective camps. On the side of the fallen angels, it is the current Grand Governor Azazel, while on the side of the demons, it is the current Demon King, who is also the strongest Demon King in history, Sajax.
Although both sides disliked each other, their leaders remained silent. Even if they had grievances in their hearts, they could only keep them to themselves. At most, they would glare at each other, but there was nothing more they could do.
Neither Azazel nor Sajax were fond of war, so when they stood together, they didn't immediately start arguing.
Sajax said, "Odin's arrival in the East is partly due to your efforts. To be honest, I really dislike these kinds of diplomatic occasions; they make me feel very restricted."
Azazel said, "Because I know that I can't figure out your purpose on my own. Cleansing up those monsters all over the world is a thankless task that doesn't suit the nature of you demons."
Sajax said, "You're going to get Odin to make this trip just because of something like this?"
Azazel said, "Of course, one can never be too cautious when dealing with you, after all, the power of the Demon Realm is currently too great, which makes many people feel uneasy."
Sajax could understand Azazel's thoughts. No one was a fool; everyone just had different positions and interests. However, he would not expose the secrets of the fallen angels and demons from the other world. The fact that the fallen angels from the other world were on the side of humanity was shocking enough. If the pantheons knew that the demon race had a way to form an alliance with the fallen angels from the other world, the demon race would definitely be besieged.
Now, what the demon race lacks is time. As long as they can form an alliance with the fallen angels of the other world and use this power to completely defeat those demons from the other world, they will be able to free up their hands to deal with those schemers who have been making small moves during this period.
As long as those fallen angels from other worlds can be completely bound to their cause, even if the demon race has to pay a heavy price, it's not impossible.
Sajax said, "If your information network is good enough, you should know about the current predicament facing the Demon Realm. You call that powerful?"
Sajax looked at Azazel with the eyes of someone looking at a fool, but it wasn't easy to stir up emotions in a seasoned veteran like Azazel. Therefore, Sajax's trick of manipulating emotions to obtain information was unlikely to succeed.
Chapter 1. The Unscrupulous Entertainer
Asahiel just smiled. He too had climbed his way up from the bottom, and he had heard all sorts of sarcastic remarks. He had even encountered plenty of situations where he had to swallow his insults.
Unlike Zajax, who was born into a noble family and became a demon lord before reaching adulthood, Azazel was a true veteran who had seen all kinds of situations and encountered all kinds of circumstances. Therefore, he was able to remain calm when faced with the ridicule of others.
Azazel said, "I think it's worth it to figure out your true purpose, no matter what means you use. Besides, your actions are too big to be understood."
Sajax thought to himself, "This is exactly the kind of incomprehensible style I want. It would be truly terrifying if their purpose were discovered. After all, the demon race has recently given the impression of being completely insane. Only the highest levels within the demon race know the real situation. Their secrecy is exceptionally good. Only the four demon kings know the true situation, and the executors below only know the basics, far from the core intelligence."
It was precisely because there were only four people in the entire demon realm who knew the truth that Sajax was so fearless and not worried about the issue of leaks at all. He even kept it a secret from his partner and family, as did the other demon lords.
Sajax said, "It seems that the Fallen Angels have been too leisurely lately and have started to meddle in these trivial matters. Don't you need to worry about your safety? After all, Fallen Angels don't have their own little world, and the moon is not an absolutely safe place."
Azazel smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. We know this ourselves. Every pantheon takes security seriously, after all, the world is not peaceful now, and anything can happen."
Azazel had certainly considered the safety of his race, but the Fallen Angels had no home ground, a historical issue that he couldn't simply resolve on his own.
Before the fallen angels and demons "fell," everyone was an angel loyal to God, sharing the right to reside in Heaven. All angels lived in the beautiful environment of Heaven. Then, a civil war broke out in Heaven, and the two branches of fallen angels and demons separated, permanently losing their right to return to Heaven. The demon race was completely sealed away and sent to another dimension by Heaven, disappearing without a trace.
That alternate dimension is the Demon Realm. The resilient demon race has taken root in the Demon Realm and adapted to its environment, making themselves even stronger. They were also fortunate enough to find a spatial passage back to Earth and stabilize it.
Originally, the fallen angels were gloating, thinking that the demon race was just unlucky to be banished. However, they did not expect that such banishment would not only fail to drive out the demons, but would instead make the demon race even stronger.
On the other hand, the fallen angels lost their roots after being expelled from Heaven and could only wander around the world. It was only in the last human era that the fallen angel race gathered the strength of the entire race and established a colony on the moon, finally having a place to settle down.
It is precisely because of this disparity that fallen angels are extremely hostile to demons. With no home to return to, fallen angels are like rootless duckweed. The demon race's unexpected good fortune only further irritates the fallen angels.
Azazel also wore a smile, but to Sajax, that smile was rather irritating. Azazel was gloating. Previously, the Demon Realm was like Takamagahara of the Neon Pantheon, impossible to invade from the outside, making it an absolutely safe rear area.
This made the Fallen Angels extremely jealous. Now that such a big mess had occurred in the Demon Realm, which was absolutely safe, the Fallen Angels became amusement for them. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't enter the Demon Realm, they would have rushed to the scene to mock the Demon and take over the Demon's territory.
Sajax could sense the deep malice hidden in the other party's smile. He didn't want to say anything more. Fallen angels were notorious for their sarcastic remarks, and he wasn't good at arguing. He was afraid that if he continued talking to the other party, he would lose his temper and throw a destructive spell in the other party's face, which would definitely escalate into a diplomatic dispute.
Hidden in the shadows, Li Wei overheard their conversation and found it quite amusing. Without knowledge of the history of demons and fallen angels, their dialogue might seem unremarkable, but after understanding their respective histories, Li Wei grasped the subtext. Ultimately, the fallen angels' power was insufficient, and they wanted to preserve their strength, so they decisively brought in external aid, hoping to force the demons into submission.
··· ·Requesting flowers···· ··
However, Sajax was also stubborn and unyielding. No matter what Azazel planned, he was prepared to stand his ground. With such a strategic force as the support of the race, it would be difficult for the demon race to fall.
Strength is the key; it's about having the ability to adapt to any situation.
Just then, several tall figures walked into the hall from the passageway. Upon seeing the newcomers, Sajax and Azazel, who had been locked in a fierce argument, stopped their confrontation, took a few steps forward, and went to meet them.
Odin saw the crowd who had come to pick him up at the airport and wore a somewhat formulaic smile.
Meanwhile, Li Wei was ready to make his move. He used his paper-medium magic, which he often used, to create a dozen or so paper clones, transforming them into the appearances of fallen angels and demons.
. .... .......
Li Wei, a troublemaker who enjoys stirring up trouble, also has his own interests in causing trouble here. Since the actions of the Norse gods, under the guidance of the fallen angels, have deviated from his expectations, he might as well collect some interest first and take down Thor and Baldr.
In Livy's view, Odin's retinue on this trip was quite interesting. Apart from the minor figures, there were only two major ones: Thor, the most powerful and ruthless figure in the Norse pantheon, and Baldr, the god of spring, who was destined to be the next king of the Norse pantheon.
Li Wei could understand bringing Thor along; after all, the current Demon King's power was undeniable, and Odin was worried that he wouldn't be able to maintain order without a particularly capable fighter. Bringing Baldr, the god of spring, was also to enhance Baldr's prestige and accumulate experience for him.
The Norse mythology of this world is quite vague. Baldr, who should have died in the mythology, is actually living a good life and is deeply trusted and loved by the Norse gods. Even Thor and Tyr do not object to Baldr succeeding to the throne of the gods.
Once Baldr has accumulated enough experience, he will be able to take the throne from Odin and become the new king of the Norse pantheon.
Li Wei thought for a moment, and realized that if Baldr and Thor both fell victim here, it would be quite interesting, and it would also add some "fun" for the demons and fallen angels.
