The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

"Oh, what a sweet scene."

Lucifer gave a seemingly absent-minded exclamation, but the lack of genuine feeling was quite obvious.

Li Zhen patted Rachel's hand, indicating that she could handle everything, and then looked at Lucifer.

"Looks like I guessed right?"

Did I give you any positive signals?

"You don't like any customers who walk into the bar without going through the door, but you've been tolerant of Rachel, so I guess my presence is to your advantage."

Lucifer's lips curled up slightly, as if he had remembered something.

He finally stopped being mysterious and frankly admitted what Li Zhen had guessed earlier.

"Hell, to me, is a boring and empty prison."

"Although it was born under my influence, it has been in there for over 10 billion years. Even the most interesting things can become repulsive."

Li Zhen displayed understandable confusion.

Constantine had previously told him that the First Fallen were the first rulers of Hell, yet Hell was born under Lucifer's influence? However, Lucifer, who could see through all of Lee Jung's thoughts, quickly answered this question.

It took Li Zhen some effort to understand some of the references in Lucifer's words.

The so-called "many people" should be those early super-multi-level powerhouses who believed they were compatible with the attributes of hell.

That territory should be similar to the alternate dimension born from the Three Palaces Demon, a private domain of those super-multidimensional powerhouses.

Lucifer paused deliberately until Li Zhen understood, then continued speaking.

"At that time, I was not the ruler of Hell, but other self-proclaimed rulers inspired me. They were so eager to become the lords of Hell, so I cleverly threw that cage at them."

So, this refers to the fact that the newly fallen became the first lord of Hell?

"At first I didn't dare to leave for too long, for fear that the guy who banished me would find out, so after a while I returned to hell to continue serving my sentence."

"After serving as a lord of Hell, the First Fallen One finally realized that it was nothing more than a boring prison and wisely handed the position back. I also came up with a good idea through the First Fallen One."

Lucifer gave a sly, mischievous smile.

"I succeeded the Fallen One as the Lord of Hell and concealed the fact that he had handed it over to me." At this point, Li Zhen had completely understood.

Uncertain of God's attitude, Lucifer packaged the position of Lord of Hell as a highly desirable one.

Those who have the courage and ability to challenge him naturally possess the strength Lucifer needs, and can continue to cover for him for a period of time in prison.

Every enthusiastic and powerful individual who takes over discovers that it's actually a trap, and they tacitly begin looking for the next unlucky one to take over.

To the outside world, however, it was given a nicer explanation.

For example, Lucifer defeated the Fallen Ones and took over Hell to become Satan.

Belial defeated Lucifer and succeeded Satan.

Etrigan defeated Beria and succeeded Satan.

These incredibly powerful demons and gods left behind countless legends in many universes that ignited the passions of their successors, but the essence of these legends may very well be abdication.

"So Nero is also..."

"Ah, that little guy, he was a bit lacking at first, really."

Lucifer finally stopped pushing his drinks and found a stool near the bar to sit down. "Nero wasn't strong enough at first, and in the previous universe, he tried to become stronger by trading special souls, but he was foolishly tricked by the Joker and Luther from that universe, and finally lost to a human turned demon."

"But things changed after he got the method to alter the ritual from Constantine. His power skyrocketed, and he successfully 'defeated' the previous Lord of Hell and took over Hell."

"However, his willpower was clearly not strong enough. He couldn't even hold on for ten years before he started looking for his successor."

"The Joker, the Wolf... you are all characters he thought could grow rapidly after becoming a demon, but you are clearly superior, having created the Trinity on your own."

Li Zhen was initially a little confused, but then she realized that something was wrong.

"Something everyone avoids like the plague once they get the hang of it, so how could this be a good thing for me?"

Lucifer shrugged.

"You think I'll keep attracting people to go to jail for me if I don't leave them some benefit?"

"There are no term limits, and some things you wanted to do but couldn't do in the past will no longer be a problem after you become the Lord of Hell."

Li Zhen's heart stirred.

Immediately, the long-dormant divine intuition began to tremble.

After becoming the Lord of Hell, he gained super-multidimensional abilities, and in that state, creating a clone to return to the Invincible Young Hero universe was a piece of cake. The Invincible Young Hero universe also has Hell!

There's even a character that's a parody of Hellblazer.

Even those few blue, higher-dimensional life forms could not stop a selfish Satan from seeking revenge on the planet Witrum.

Moreover, from that moment on, he was at least on par with the Three Palace Demons, and Rachel no longer needed to fear her biological father.

After all, Sangu Demon is just a demon lord born in another dimension.

And for Lee Jung to become Satan is to be a proper, official member of Hell.

His father-in-law will probably have to go out of his way to curry favor with him.

However, Li Zhen was not misled by these unrealistic fantasies that had not yet come to pass, and quickly came to her senses.

There are still a few key points that haven't been resolved.

One question is just how deadly it is to stand in that position. Every Lord of Hell has abandoned that prestige and is eager to find the next one to take over.

Nero was described as very bad by Lucifer.

But Nero isn't truly swayed by Li Zhen right now. His willpower alone couldn't even entice him to accept a Green Lantern Ring, which Lucifer described as a prison. What exactly is this pressure that Nero has endured for ten years to begin longing for freedom?

and many more.

Li Zhen's expression suddenly turned ugly.

Why do so many powerful individuals with diverse abilities keep falling for this trick?

The answer is quite clear: in this game where Lucifer takes turns taking the blame, Lucifer absolutely sets the rules and forces every lord of Hell to execute them perfectly.

At the very least, every unlucky soul must be unaware that they've fallen into a trap before they even sit on it. Only through the combined efforts of numerous hellish lords can this game continue.

No, no, no, don't think about it anymore!

Li Zhen sadly discovered that once again, his superbrain had deduced the conclusion without him even using a nanosecond.

This means that in the eyes of this great deity, he has already been firmly placed in the position of the next Satan.

Li Zhen stared at Lucifer with grief and indignation.

"No wonder, no wonder I'm in your favor."

Even Rachel, who was usually quite clever, hadn't considered this possibility and couldn't understand why Li Zhen's face had suddenly turned deathly pale. Lucifer, on the other hand, pouted innocently.

"You insist on asking."
