The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Li Zhen quickly looked towards the glass door.

No.

The sky remained clear and bright, presenting a peaceful scene.

I didn't feel any changes in myself.

Hmm, this isn't right, is it?

Lucifer didn't seem to want to silence them, did he?

"Do you think someone like Nero would give up a position he worked so hard to get? He was practically obsessed with becoming the Lord of Hell back then."

Lucifer, with amusement, extended a finger and lightly tapped it into the air.

It wasn't forceful, but it felt as if it had struck a layer of blue magical barrier that relied on space. As the power was withdrawn, the blue barrier quickly disappeared.

"You thought that what you created was keeping Nero out... but actually it gave Nero an idea. Just now, Nero has been working on something similar to your magical defense network in Hell."

"The incident in Hong Kong that created a gap in Hell gave you the opportunity to become a Trinity, but it also alerted Nero, who began to devise ways to prevent you from entering Hell."

"After all, the demonic nature within you isn't quite solid yet. He's actually afraid that you'll squeeze into Hell and discard your demonic identity. Whether you know the answer or not, 'demon' is usually not a good word." "He's just avoiding that possibility. Your growth rate has surprised him, and he doesn't have the patience to look for the next unlucky one."

"Now that information flow between Hell and the human world is completely cut off, he just needs to patiently wait for you to become stronger. When you are strong enough to shoulder great responsibilities, everything will happen naturally."

"Whether it's your divine power, your demonic power, or your true self, any of them can become powerful."

"By then, Nero will retain his position and his men, while you will become the first ruler of Hell, a world filled with scorched earth and renamed Hell, without a single demon among your men."

……

Li Zhen left the bar looking somewhat dejected.

He couldn't fully trust Lucifer's descriptions of the series of powerful events that followed his appointment as Lord of Hell.

That was likely just a line used to reassure Lee Jung before taking over.

There may be some truth to it, but it also illustrates that the bad parts can be more unimaginable.

Throughout the conversation, Lucifer, in a teasing manner, gave Li Zhen all the answers she wanted to know, and all the answers he could provide, as compensation.

For example, Li Zhen's question about the so-called Lucifer in the 2023 comic of her previous life, which was actually the Great Darkness.

It's important to understand that this period, roughly after the New 52, ​​saw almost all major events involving darkness connected to the Great Darkness. If Lucifer was the Great Darkness, why did he bother creating so much trouble?

Isn't this the Dragon King Temple at Dashuichong?

Lucifer denied this claim.

They even mocked Li Zhen's idea as utterly unrealistic.

"If I really am the source of all the crises you will encounter in the future, wouldn't I need to push you to improve even more? How about I arrange a major event for you every day?"

Then Lucifer gave a simple and easy-to-understand analogy.

He said his relationship with the Great Darkness was probably more distant than that with Lee Jung and the Emperor Jung-te who was floating in the trans-time flow, but he could not and was unable to interfere with the other party.

Then Li Zhen asked if there was a way to avoid turning the earth into hell.

This time, Lucifer didn't give an answer, but only encouraged him, telling him that the answer lay in the conversation they had just had.

Alright, I've turned into a riddle person again.

Unfortunately, they still couldn't beat him.

This was the first time Rachel had seen Li Zhen so dejected, so she couldn't help but offer some words of comfort. "If we proactively removed the magical defense network, would it make entering Hell a little easier?"

Li Zhen sighed and shook her head.

He wouldn't go that far.

"Actually, I'm not that resistant, but I'm annoyed by the feeling of being arranged by others. The only difficulty now is that even if I can't change the outcome of me taking over the spot, I still have to find a way to save Earth."

This isn't something that can be solved by simply moving to a different planet.

Lucifer was banished by God to a place called Chaos Matter, and Chaos changed with Lucifer's existence, transforming into Hell.

Essentially, it is a dimension parallel to reality, rather than simply corresponding to Earth.

The human world has turned into hell, and in an instant, the entire universe is about to be overturned and rebuilt.

Thus, an extremely ironic and contradictory structure is achieved.

Li Zhen's pursuit of powerful motivation is for the sake of achieving true freedom.

Whether it's the body or the mind.

So he still harbored thoughts of revenge against Witrum. But now, his power had become a death knell for this universe.

It's also possible that it's not this universe. Nero didn't stop Lee Jung from going to other dimensions, as long as Lee Jung couldn't shake off her identity as a demon.

If he wanted to be even more monstrous, Li Zhen could simply switch to another dimension and turn that universe into hell.

He quickly grasped the gameplay of Lucifer.

There is no limit to how long one can serve as Satan, but one must trick the next unfortunate soul into taking over without revealing any key information in any form.

He could even create a clone and send it into reality to guide a competitor who knows nothing, provided certain conditions are met.

They directly imitated Nero.

However, according to Lucifer's description, such fools are rare and hard to come by, because there is no shortage of smart people in the world, and some people will still discover the trickery. For example, there is a legend that every time the lord of hell changes, a great war will break out, but in reality, none of the guys who have served have died.

It's a battle between the strongest demons.

Always holding back?

One fixed match is one thing, but Popovich fixed a match? Do you really think we can't see through the trickery?

Therefore, there are fewer and fewer hotheads eager to seize the position of Lord of Hell. Nero is, in Lucifer's words, a rare idiot. Meeting Li Zhen is like stepping into a stray puddle of luck.

Normally, someone like Li Zhen, who has no such hobbies, would never be able to transform into a real demon by manipulating souls.

Alternatively, if Li Zhen had accepted the collective entity back then and hadn't gone back on her word, had been willing to endure the emotional pain, gritted her teeth and endured it, and directly sent the collective entity to reincarnation, she wouldn't have become a demon.

But Li Zhen is not a saint.

His human nature has both good and bad aspects, just like an ordinary person.

He can resonate with the resentment of the collective and act out of momentary nostalgia, but he abruptly stops himself because he feels that the thought of the collective would 'taint' his thoughts of his true homeland.

This also makes him more in line with the standards of a demon.

"Honestly, I guess Nero initially relied mainly on the Joker or Jason Todd, both of whom were undeniably excellent after becoming demons."

Li Zhen took out the silver coin that signified his demonic identity from his pocket.

Oh, it's no longer a silver coin.

Without anyone noticing, this thing had turned golden.

Gold coins? Li Zhen was stunned for a moment.

Isn't that the same one that Constantine has?

So Constantine was actually closer to Nero's goal.

"Huh? Right, Constantine also meets the criteria of the Trinity."

He is connected to both Heaven and Hell, and is himself a powerful magician.

A glint appeared in Li Zhen's eyes.

However, it quickly went out again.

Conversely, it would be too difficult to deceive Constantine. This guy knew about Nero and the Lord of Hell's trap earlier than Li Zhen, and Constantine usually had no desire to improve himself.

The decathlon that should have allowed Li Zhen to relax now seems to have become a debt collector's curse.

The power of aging among the Vitrum people is negligible in the short-lived time perception of Earthlings.

But now that his mental energy has perfected Li Zhen's power cycle, he naturally becomes stronger much faster than a normal Witrumman.

Even if he never uses magic or divine power again, and never meddles in other people's business, he will still be alive, and his progress in succeeding Nero will accelerate rapidly, eventually surpassing Constantine. And the most basic point...

Li Zhen could not give up on improving her strength.

Neither inner desire nor external pressure allows it.

Therefore, there is only one conclusion.

"Avoid the destruction of the Earth, and then settle accounts as they are, with Nero being the first to be punished."
