Chapter 377 The Son of Satan has gone mad; he's going to create a new Hell.

Balthazar was merely a high-ranking demon, far weaker than the vessel of the beast Black Sky, and utterly vulnerable before Du Mu.

He was pinned to the ground by the magic sword, the blade piercing through his chest, his entire body suspended in mid-air.

Before Balthazar could reach out and pull the magic sword from his chest, Du Mu had already walked up slowly, raised his right foot and stepped on Balthazar's shoulder, slowly applying downward pressure.

Balthazar slid down the blade, the flesh from his wounds rubbing violently against the light blade, emitting a terrible howl, until his back was completely pressed against the ground.

"Stop yelling."

Du Mu, standing atop Balthazar, looked down at him and said, "What is the purpose of you demons appearing in large numbers in the human world? Tell me everything you know."

"dream."

Balthazar lay on his back, a ferocious smile twisting his lips: "Go ahead and destroy this body of mine if you dare. I'll just go back to hell."

He will only be banished back to hell when he dies. For a demon, returning to hell is like returning home.

Du Mu, of course, knew this, and said cheerfully, "How could I kill you? I am a priest. Whether they are wicked or devils, they are all lost sheep in my hands. I will sincerely pray for them and forgive all their sins."

Upon hearing this, Balsaza's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

"What do you want to do?"

Du Mu instantly changed into a standard priest's outfit and said with a kind face, "Of course, it's to deliver your soul and send you to heaven."

Balthazar: "???"

Sending the devil to heaven?

Are you kidding me?!

In all his years, he had only ever heard of demons being banished back to hell; he had never heard of anyone trying to take a demon to heaven.

Balthazar's face was full of absurdity: "What a joke, how could a demon possibly go to heaven?"

Du Mu took out the sacred halo and put it on his head, smiling warmly: "Who says it can't be done? Except for Constantine, Heaven does not discriminate against any person or species. Of course, I am only responsible for sending you to Heaven. As for whether or not I forgive you, that is God's business."

The moment he donned the holy halo, a sacred light poured forth, and countless winged angels appeared and disappeared within the halo. Above his head, a blurry gate to heaven slowly materialized.

Solemn hymns then rose from all directions, pouring straight into Balsazar's ears.

Upon hearing the song, Balthazar's soul immediately began to burn, and an uncontrollable sense of remorse surged into his heart. He wished he could confess all the sins he had committed in his life right now.

Immediately afterwards, Du Mu took out Paradise brand cigarettes and a Hell lighter, and lit one of the cigarettes.

He exhaled a puff of milky white smoke, which slowly drifted toward Balsazar on the ground.

When the smoke touched Balthazar's skin, it sizzled like a red-hot iron, emitting puffs of white smoke with a burnt smell.

The black aura surrounding Balthazar began to gradually dissipate, and his soul was being purified inch by inch.

But Du Mu felt that this was not enough.

He took out his Bible, opened it and placed it in his other hand, and began to recite prayers in a low voice, his posture dignified, like a true clergyman.

Of course, this is assuming you ignore the cigarette still dangling from his lips.

Under Du Mu's comprehensive ritual of deliverance, the tightly closed gates of heaven in the sky actually slowly cracked open, and dazzling holy light shone through the gap.

Balthazar's eyes widened, his pupils reflecting the light, filled with terror.

For demons, going to heaven is no different from going to hell for humans; it's a torment hundreds of times worse than death.

"No, no, no, don't send me to heaven! I'll tell you everything!"

Balsazar finally couldn't help but speak up.

Upon hearing this, Du Mu stopped reciting, and the gates of heaven above his head closed again.

He grinned, revealing a set of white teeth: "Good boy, tell the priest quickly, what exactly is your purpose?"

Balthazar hesitated for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and said, "We must assist the Son of Satan in descending to earth, establishing a kingdom of blood and fire, and turning the world into a second hell."

Du Mu was not surprised by this answer; he could have guessed it.

How will Mammon cross the boundary between hell and the human world and descend to earth?

"this..

""

Balthazar hesitated, stammering and unwilling to speak.

Seeing this, Du Mu didn't waste any words. He lowered his head and began reciting the prayer again, and the gates of heaven opened once more.

"Stop reading! Father, stop reading! I'll talk! I'll talk right now!"

Balthazar hurriedly begged for mercy, saying, "It's the Spear of Destiny, the weapon that killed the Son of God. The tip of the spear is stained with the blood of Jesus, which can allow the Son of Satan to break through the boundaries and descend to earth in his true form."

The Spear of Fate, also known as the Spear of Longinus.

When Jesus was nailed to the cross, a centurion named Longinus pierced him with a spear.

This originally ordinary weapon, because it was stained with the blood of the Son of God, instantly gained immense prestige and became a rare sacred object in the world.

According to Catholicism, Jesus is the Son of God, and his mother, the Virgin Mary, was a holy virgin. Therefore, he did not inherit original sin from Adam and was a truly sinless person, with the purest blood of God flowing in his veins.

In other words, the blood of Jesus also contains the power of God, which just meets the conditions for transcending human boundaries.

Du Mu pressed on, asking, "Where is the spear of fate now?"

Balthazar, in a fit of desperation, declared, "In the hands of the Archangel Gabriel, who is Satan's partner, it is through his help that we were able to descend to earth in our true forms."

"Good heavens, this archangel of Heaven has actually joined forces with the son of Satan in secret."

Du Mu was greatly astonished upon hearing this.

However, this is quite in line with Gabriel's character, since it was Gabriel who sounded the horn of the Last Judgment in the legend.

Before he could ask any more questions, he suddenly sensed something was wrong.

Why hasn't Constantine made a move all this time?

Du Mu turned around and his whole body shone with light, instantly illuminating the entire street.

Wherever the light shone, the shadows on the street corner were swept away.

Soon, he found Constantine in an alley, where Constantine was lying face down on the ground, motionless like a dead dog.

Angela, who should have been by his side, has disappeared without a trace.

Du Mu strode over, squatted down, turned Constantine over, and patted his cheek.

"Hey, wake up, you can't sleep here."

After being slapped more than a dozen times, Constantine slowly opened his eyes.

"Angels? Does this mean I'm finally in heaven?"

In his dazed state, Constantine mistook Du Mu, who was wearing a divine halo, for an angel.

"No, you're going to hell. I was sent by Satan to torment you."

Du Mu withdrew his divine halo, and countless black tentacles stretched out from his body, wriggling.

"No!"

Constantine shuddered and instantly snapped back to reality.

Du Mu released the black tentacles and immediately asked, "What happened? Where did Angela go?"

Constantine's consciousness gradually returned, his expression shifting from blank to angry: "It was Gabriel, that... cough cough, that son of God, he ambushed me from behind when I wasn't looking and then stole Angela!"

Du Mu's eyes were filled with suspicion: "Why would Gabriel need to launch a sneak attack to deal with you?"

Constantine coughed lightly: "That's not the point. The point is that that bastard stole the woman I liked!"

Du Mu raised an eyebrow: "You like Angela? I didn't see that coming."

Constantine looked heartbroken: "I only just realized it myself. Watching Angela being taken away, I felt like I'd lost something important. What else could this be but love?"

Du Mu looked at him with disdain: "I'm almost embarrassed to call you out on it. You don't actually like it; you just haven't earned the right to go to heaven!"

"Fuck, why didn't you say so sooner!"

Constantine stood up, grimacing, touching his swollen cheek, and said through gritted teeth, "That bastard Gabriel, not only did he not let me go to heaven, but he also hit me so hard, even slapping me while I was unconscious."

Du Mu remained calm and said, "Perhaps you are too hated."

Constantine found the reasoning reasonable and did not have much doubt about it.

He frowned and said, "Speaking of which, why would Gabriel, an angel, steal Angela?"

Du Mu explained, "It's not Gabriel who's gone mad, it's the Son of Satan who's gone mad. That demon said he's going to create a new hell, and Gabriel is his partner. Their goal is to use the Spear of Destiny to bring the Son of Satan to earth."

Constantine's expression changed drastically: "The son of Satan has descended to earth, and he needs a human with a powerful soul as a medium. Could it be that Angela is the medium they need?"

Du Mu nodded: "It's very possible. Isabel was born with spiritual vision, and Angela, as her twin sister, might also have some hidden talent."

"That's terrible!"

Constantine's expression turned serious: "We must stop Gabriel, otherwise, if his plan succeeds, the world will become hell! We must hurry back to Midnight and borrow that electric chair from Star Prison; perhaps it can pinpoint the location of the Son of Satan's birth."

[The mission "Hell is empty, demons roam the earth" - Mission complete]

[Rewards: Experience +2000, Constantine's Favorability +10, Item: Blood of the Evil God, Equipment: Ring of the Evil Spirit]

[Item: Blood of the Evil God (Heaven has exorcism spells, Hell has god-exorcism spells; Heaven has holy water, Hell has the blood of the evil god; it has a special effect on angels and all targets with holy attributes)]

[Equipment: Ring of the Evil (When worn, it inflicts additional mental damage when attacking enemies)]

A system notification sounded in Du Mu's mind.

The blood of the evil god is exactly what he needs right now, and Gabriel is clearly the enemy they are about to face.

As an archangel of Heaven, Gabriel's strength is unimaginable. Even if he is weakened in the human world, he is still not someone that ordinary forces can deal with. Naturally, the more trump cards he has, the better.

The Evil Spirit Ring, with its physical attacks inflicting mental damage, is a nemesis for enemies who are tough but weak-willed.

Moreover, another ring has been added, bringing me one step closer to wearing ten rings.

[Prerequisite tasks have been completed; the final stage task will start automatically.]

[Quest: Child of the Demon]

[Objective: To prevent the birth of the Son of Satan and avoid turning the world into hell]

[Rewards: Determined based on player contribution]

"No need, I know where I was born."

Du Mu glanced at the mission guide and immediately located the birthplace of the Son of Satan, which was quite far from them.

He didn't leave immediately, but turned and walked back to Balsazar.

"I didn't know Gabriel would come! Really!"

Balthazar looked terrified, fearing that Du Mu would vent his anger on him: "I've confessed everything, please don't send me to heaven!"

Du Mu laughed: "You're overthinking it. How could I possibly send a demon to heaven?"

66

Balthazar was taken aback: "But I clearly saw the Gates of Heaven just now."

"That's special effects, it's all fake. What era are we living in? It's normal for special effects to be realistic."

Du Mu was once again adorned with the sacred halo, and the Gate of Heaven reappeared above his head. With his will, the gate opened and closed repeatedly, almost blowing air out of it.

Balsazar:

""

You even lie to the devil?! Are you even human?!

Balthazar's face turned green instantly, and he began to curse.

"Fuc..

""

puff!

Du Mu conjured a magic sword in his hand, which pierced directly through his head.

Balthazar's body twitched twice, then turned into a cloud of black smoke and dissipated into the air.

Constantine stared enviously at the special effects above Du Mu's head, drooling with envy: "Dude, can I borrow this for a few days? I promise I'll return it to you."

Du Mu smiled and nodded: "Get lost!"

Constantine: "6"

""

A mental hospital in Los Angeles.

This is the place where Isabel committed suicide, and also the place chosen by the Son of Satan to descend.

When Du Mu arrived at the outskirts of the mental hospital, he glanced up and said earnestly, "After careful observation, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the place of our arrival."

"You can remove the 'should' part; this is definitely the place of descent."

Constantine was quite certain.

The black mist above this hospital is almost covering the entire sky. If you still can't tell there's a problem, you might as well donate your eyes.

Without hesitation, the two stepped directly into the gates of the mental hospital.

As soon as I stepped across the threshold, a strong, pungent smell of sulfur hit me, no less than that of hell.

"Damn it, just how many demons are gathered here?!"

Constantine frowned and cursed.

He hated the smell of sulfur the most, since it's technically a toxic gas; inhaling too much is bad for the lungs and harmful to health.

So he quickly took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, lit it, and took a deep drag, which finally relieved him.

The two did not stop and continued to push deeper into the corridor.

At the end of the corridor was a double-leaved hospital room door, through which a dark red light shone.

Du Mu kicked open the door.

The door slammed into the wall, revealing the entire interior of the ward.

The ward was filled with people, men and women, young and old, at least forty in number.

What they all had in common was that their eyes gleamed with a scarlet light; without exception, they were all demons from hell.

Constantine looked at the room crammed with so many demons, his lips twitching slightly. He instinctively shielded his teammates in front of him and was about to speak up to cheer Du Mu on.

However, Du Mu did not give him a chance to speak at all.

"You're in charge of these small fry. I'll deal with the boss inside."

Before he finished speaking, Du Mu charged forward at incredible speed, crashing into the dense crowd with his bare body. He knocked away demons who blocked his way with his elbows, and finally disappeared behind a large door at the end of the room.

The door slammed shut, shutting out all the noise.

The room fell silent.

Only a few dozen pairs of scarlet eyes remained, turning towards Constantine, who was still standing at the door.

Constantine:

""

Did I get betrayed by my teammates?
