American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

Countless mindless, low-level evil spirits roamed the sky, and many dark-skinned, low-level demons wandered aimlessly on the ground.

Mike's sudden arrival attracted the attention of these evil spirits and demons, who instinctively moved closer to him.

His expression was ferocious, as if he wanted to tear Mike to pieces.

[Corruption Value +3]...[Corruption Value +6]...[Corruption Value +7]...[Corruption Value +9]...

Looking at the dense horde of evil spirits and demons before him, Mike smiled again: "What a wonderful place!!!"

Taking a breath of the chilling air unique to hell, Mike brandished the still-warm flaming holy sword in his hand.

A meteor shower enveloped in holy light swept out, mowing down large swathes of low-level demons like cutting grass.

Because he was human, Mike's power was not suppressed when he passed through the Gates of Hell.

Therefore, in his view, the evil spirits and demons in front of him were all experience packs for collecting corruption points.

A dozen minutes later, Mike had collected a large number of energy orbs again, and the area around him was almost a vacuum.

"Can you tell me where Satan's house is?" Mike, holding the holy sword, looked at the little devil who had been left behind.

This little devil is a bit stronger than the other lower-level devils, and it also looks more clever.

"In...in the castle in the central district, that's his territory..." the little devil answered Mike's question in terror.

"Lead the way!" Mike gave the instruction.

He kept this little devil around in order to find a guide.

After all, it was his first time in Hell, and he was unfamiliar with the place.

Chapter 531 Braving Hell (Continued)

Amidst flying boulders, flames, and holy light, yet another small demon stronghold was destroyed.

Mike, who had once again amassed a large number of corrupted orbs of light, turned around and looked at the increasingly uneasy little devil who had led the way, and asked, "Are you deliberately leading me on a roundabout way?"

Without road signs and surrounded by dark volcanic rocks, it's easy for the average person to lose their way.

"No, no, how could I dare to lie to you? It's just that as a lowly demon, I rarely go to the Central District..." The little demon who led the way rolled his eyes a few times before giving an explanation.

“Then keep leading the way. I want to see when I’ll finally meet Satan.” Mike didn’t care whether the weak little devil in front of him was lying.

At worst, it's just a waste of time to collect more corrupted energy.

Mike already knew from the little devil that hell was not peaceful either.

Besides the central region occupied by Satan, large swathes of territory on the outskirts of Hell were also occupied by many powerful demons.

These great demons often wage war against each other in order to seize territory.

Of course, besides the territories occupied by various demons, there are many worthless areas on the outskirts, which are no-man's-land.

The place where Mike first arrived belonged to that kind of area.

Returning to the little demon who led the way, although not very strong, it is a rare intelligent demon.

He knew that as a member of Hell, if he were to bring a powerful intruder to Satan in the Central District, he, as the guide, would certainly not survive.

So, he did intentionally take Mike on a detour.

Unfortunately, the demons gathered on the periphery were all weak and could not pose any obstacle to Mike.

The imp is now facing a dilemma: leading the way will result in Satan's death, while not leading the way may lead to his immediate death at the hands of the humans before him.

Faced with a dilemma, the little devil once again chose to take the risk.

Therefore, Mike will need to fight every so often during the rest of the journey.

Moreover, the closer one gets to the central area, the stronger the overall strength of the demon hordes encountered.

Of course, all of this was a piece of cake for Mike; on the contrary, he collected more and more corruption points.

He fought his way through, and before he knew it, his total energy had increased by several million.

This gave Mike the feeling of grinding through a dungeon.

Finally, after a powerful demon with its own territory was easily killed by Mike with two sword strikes, the lesser demon who was leading the way resigned itself to its fate.

Unable to defy his fate, he began to seriously become a guide for others.

Anyway, he's just a weak little devil, what bad intentions could he possibly have?

……

As the number of battles decreased, Mike's speed in entering the central area increased significantly.

Before long, he saw a magnificent castle, hundreds of meters high, appear in the black mist in the distance.

No need to guess, that must be Satan's lair.

It's also worth mentioning that the closer you get to the central area, the less volcanic rock there is on the ground, and the smoother the roads become.

However, Mike was unaware that the commotion he had caused while fighting his way through the area had already been noticed by the various demons in the central region.

In particular, the flaming holy sword used by Mike carries a powerful aura of holiness.

This made these great demons feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Therefore, when Mike arrived at the dark castle, a huge number of demons had gathered at the entrance, including many powerful demons.

They looked at Mike, the intruder, with hostility, and the little devil who was leading the way wasn't much better off.

"Don't kill me... I was forced to..."

Although the guide imp was an intelligent demon, it was too weak and was eventually driven mad by the fact that it was surrounded by enemies.

Losing his mind, he turned and ran away in a frenzy, wanting nothing more than to leave this place.

However, before he could run far, with a "whoosh," he was pinned to the ground by a black trident.

"Human, what brings you here?" The great demon, who had just killed the traitor with his weapon, stepped forward and blocked Mike's path.

"Excuse me, does Satan live here?" Mike asked to himself, while also taking a moment to admire the castle in front of him.

His oblivious demeanor seemed to oblivious to the malice of the numerous demons.

"How dare you! How could you address the Lord of Hell by his name!"

"I smelled an unpleasant odor on him..."

"Kill him! Kill him!!"

……

Mike's flippant demeanor caused his words to ignite the entire audience.

Countless demons wished they could devour his flesh...

"Quiet down!" The great demon who had stepped forward earlier quelled the commotion behind him, stared at the arrogant humans before him, and said in a deep voice, "So, you've come here to cause trouble!!"

"Am I not obvious enough?" Mike, carrying the flaming holy sword, finally turned his gaze to the group of demons.

But his gaze was very unfriendly, as if he were looking at someone mentally challenged.

"Pretty boastful, let's see if you have the ability..." The great demon waved his hand and said, "Attack! Kill this intruder!"

Instantly, countless demons charged at Mike like madmen.

Before they could get close, Mike's holy sword was surrounded by flames, and he slashed down with tremendous force.

Within the shockwave, a large number of demons dissipated into black smoke.

The earthquake trembled so violently that a huge crack appeared, from which magma continuously oozed out.

Then, a huge number of tiny, firefly-like spots of light suddenly appeared in the gray sky.

Demons lacking strength will be instantly reduced to ashes upon encountering these spots of light.

Amidst screams and wails, countless demons were annihilated.

"The small fry have been cleared out. Aren't you going to make your move?" Mike, who was surrounded by holy light, looked at the dozen or so demons who had survived, including the great demon who had previously been in charge.

"You do have some skill, but how many times can you use an attack like that?" The great demon, having retrieved the black trident, shouted, "Everyone, follow me! I don't believe he can kill us all!"

Mike not only used "Ground Slash" but also used holy light to condense a large number of "fireflies".

Such a powerful area-of-effect attack must consume a lot of resources.

So, at the urging of the Trident Demon, the remaining dozen or so powerful demons charged at Mike once again.

However, they soon discovered that the Trident Demon, who had shouted the loudest, had secretly fled into the castle while everyone was approaching.

No one with the strength to become a Great Demon is a fool.

With the backstab from the Trident Demon, Mike didn't even have to make a move before the remaining dozen or so Demons panicked and began to flee for their lives.

"Huh? I really can't figure you guys out~" Mike paused for a moment, then swung his holy sword and killed a few more slow-moving great demons.

Only after there were no demons in sight did he swagger into Satan's castle.

"Hey, Crowley. What are you doing taking a bath in the yard?" Mike, who had just entered the castle, unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.

However, this great demon, who had a good relationship with the angel Raphael, looked rather awkward at this moment.

"Hey Mike~" Crowley, soaking in the holy water, waved with a smile and said, "Were you fighting outside just now? You made quite a commotion."

"You're not Crowley, you're... Raphael?" Mike frowned as he looked at the slightly effeminate, gentle-looking devil in front of him.

This is so out of place!

In Mike's memory, the devil Crowley was always a man of few words and always had a cool demeanor.

What on earth is this big devil who's taking a bath in holy water while playing with a rubber duck toy in the tub?

"How did you recognize me..." Crowley was startled by Mike's guess, then hurriedly covered his mouth.

It seems a bit too late to cover your mouth now.

Chapter 532 Abuse of vegetables

"Shh~" Crowley looked around nervously, and only breathed a sigh of relief after finding no one else. He said, "Keep your voice down. If Satan finds out that Crowley and I have swapped souls, we're both doomed."

It turns out that ever since the incident involving Adam, the son of the devil, both the great devil Crowley and the angel Raphael knew that their relationship could no longer be hidden.

Moreover, the two of them were guilty of a serious crime for helping Adam.

Therefore, they tried many methods to deal with punishment from their superiors.

In the end, the two found a secret method for swapping souls in the library, using the method of switching identities to take the punishment for each other, and by sheer luck, they actually succeeded.

Thus, the story of the angel Raphael being summoned back to Hell by Satan in place of the great demon Crowley to receive baptism with holy water came about.

This should have been a punishment, but Crowley in front of him had actually been replaced by the angel Raphael, so bathing in holy water was actually a pleasure for the current Crowley.

"Enjoy your time, I have to go now." Having figured out the situation, Mike couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the two brilliant people for their actions, and then carried the Holy Sword and continued walking into the castle.

While the soul-swapping technique that could fool Satan is powerful, Mike has no use for it.

Moreover, Raphael, that angel, looks like he's going to cause a lot of trouble.

So Mike, who was only interested in coming to hell to fight Satan, didn't want to get entangled here any longer.

However, Murphy's Law tells us that the more you don't want something to happen, the more likely it is to happen.

"By the way, Mike. What are you doing in Hell? Is something wrong? Do you need my help?" Crowley, wrapped in a bath towel, jumped out of the bathtub with a carefree attitude and followed Mike.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to come to Hell to have a go at Satan." Mike tried his best not to look at Crowley's cringeworthy appearance.

Wearing a bath towel over hairy legs goes beyond just being "undressing" in a way.

I wonder what the real devil Crowley would think if he knew his best friend Raphael had done something like this with his own body.

“My God, you’ve come to cause trouble for Satan! No human has ever accomplished such a feat in thousands of years…” As he spoke, Crowley’s eyes were filled with admiration.

The look of someone watching the show on their face was impossible to hide.

Even Mike felt very uncomfortable being stared at with that kind of gaze by a man with such a terrible appearance.

So he turned to remind him, "Is your holy water baptism punishment over?"

Clearly, Mike was subtly hinting to the other person that they should stop following him.

“Thank you for your concern~” However, Crowley didn’t realize this. He said enthusiastically, “The forty-nine-day holy water baptism just ended today. Although soaking in the holy water is very comfortable, it’s not good to stay in it for too long. I feel like my skin has become wrinkled…”
