Warcraft Creation Is Still Far Too Authoritative
This stuff is way better than any truth serum or memory restoration magic.
As a prop involving certain rules, let alone Pluto, even if the machine god next door came over and took a bite, it could tell you what color underwear you wore as a child.
However, the downside is that it only lasts three minutes.
However, it was a worthwhile use of the situation to clear his name.
After all, this thing isn't really used for anything else on a regular basis.
Ren wasted no time and continued to press, "What is Hades' purpose in wanting infinite power?"
Pluto immediately replied, "In order to become stronger, and because Lord Hades is very annoyed by the alliances between the major powers, especially your three major powers, he has decided to suppress your current alliance after obtaining infinite power, and finally completely take over this world."
Stop talking so much!
Pluto tried hard to shut up, but he couldn't control his mouth at all, not even by biting his tongue.
Moreover, now that he has lost all four limbs, he has no way to commit suicide even if he wanted to.
The ability to self-destruct with a single thought in some movies is just too unrealistic; nobody actually does that in real life.
Pluto could only continue in despair, "So Lord Hades ordered me to kidnap Samael and Ophis, and instructed Shalba - Beelzebub to use the Longinus Annihilation Maker to create chaos in the Underworld, while spreading rumors to maximize the plan's success rate."
Shalba?
Ren raised an eyebrow when he heard the name.
It looks familiar.
However, he quickly retrieved the relevant information from his memory.
One of the descendants of the Old Maou Faction.
During the peace talks between the three major powers, Shalba, who was in the Underworld at the time, received the news of Katerea's defection and fled in advance.
Later, when he went to the headquarters of the Khaos Brigade to visit Ophis, he happened to run into him asking Ophis for the "snake".
Finally, a conflict broke out, and he was kicked to death by Ren, who mistook him for a stray dog on the street.
Since the mission rewards had already been settled, Ren assumed Shalba was dead, but he never expected to hear his name again.
Gabriel and Azazel were also slightly surprised, not expecting that the last reactionary of the Old Maou Faction had allied with Hades.
"I remember I killed him."
I asked Ren asked.
"You did kill him, but his soul hadn't completely dissipated. After you left, I fixed his soul and brought it back to the Netherworld to resurrect Shalba and make him work for us."
Pluto was very forthcoming with his knowledge.
His heart is now completely dead.
He couldn't control his mouth no matter what he did; he was utterly desperate.
"How did he obtain the Annihilation Maker?"
While the effect of the Honest Red Bean Bun was still present, Ren continued to press for answers.
"After the last Hero Faction operation ended, we temporarily returned to a base in Europe. Shalba and my men were waiting there in advance and learned that the Hero Faction had completely failed. Of course, even if they had succeeded, it wouldn't have mattered; everyone who knew about Samael had to be silenced. But that idiot Shalba only captured a portion of them. The remaining members of the Hero Faction were teleported away by the Absolute Mist Holder and are still being pursued."
This is exactly the usual tactic used by villains in storylines.
Even without Hades pressing Ren for Honest Red Bean Bun, it was obvious what Hades would do.
After all, this is already the standard template for a villainous boss.
While the effect of the Honest Red Bean Bun was still in effect, Gabriel and Azazel asked several more questions, to which Pluto answered honestly.
The good news is that Hades' plan failed completely. Because of Ren's intervention, Ophis not only lived a good life here, but even the Dragon Eater Samael was taken away by Ren.
After learning that even such a dangerous being as the Dragon Eater had been taken by Ren, Gabriel and Azazel's gazes towards him completely changed.
No wonder that old bastard Hades wanted Ren dead so badly; he tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead.
The bad news is that Shalba is in charge of the Underworld alone. Leonardo, the wielder of the Annihilation Maker, has been controlled by Sherpa using dark magic, and the subspecies Balance Breaker has been forcibly brought out.
Currently, there is no quick way to resolve the Underworld crisis except by defeating all the monsters.
The rest was much simpler.
Pluto, as Hades's highest-ranking Grim Reaper, speaks with extremely high credibility.
Although the existence of Ophis remains a major problem, at least Ren has been completely cleared of suspicion.
"Mr. Ren, if you trust me, please hand Pluto over to me. We will handle the rest."
Gabriel said sincerely.
"Fine, there's no point in me keeping him around anyway."
Ren readily agreed; after Pluto told the truth, he was no longer of any use to him.
As for the idea of catching it with Poké Ball, Ren hadn't even considered it.
"It was very impolite of you to come in such a hurry. We will make it up to you after this is all over."
"No need for compensation. Just come and stay at my house more often, Lord Gabriel."
"?"
Gabriel was taken aback. What kind of strange request was this?
However, since things had already come to this point, she agreed.
It's just a simple place to stay, nothing special.
She was also very curious about the current situation of Ren's family.
Humans, demons, angels, magicians, demigods, and cat demons—people from all sorts of different races—live together in such harmony. This is a topic worthy of study for those dedicated to multi-racial peace.
The Heaven may seem powerful, but its foundation is already unstable. Although they developed the Reincarnation Angel System based on the Evil Pieces, the conditions for reincarnating as an angel and reincarnating as a demon are completely different. The requirement for character alone is enough to filter out 90% of people.
As for reincarnating as a demon, there are no restrictions whatsoever.
Azazel grinned; as a man, he could tell at a glance what kind of bad intentions Ren was up to.
However, he didn't say much.
Just as he was about to leave, Azazel suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, where is Dragon Eater Samael that Pluto mentioned?"
Chapter 414 The Annihilation Maker Was Too Authoritative
Upon hearing this, Ren suddenly shook his head blankly and said, "Samael? What Samael? He was probably taken away by those Grim Reaper and then framed for it."
Azazel was speechless.
Anyone with eyes can see that Ren is blatantly lying.
"Dragon Eater Samael is of great importance, possessing the most potent poison in the world. After the death of a god, he was placed under the jurisdiction of the gods. Hades, as the guardian, has betrayed his post and stolen from Samael. If we can find Samael, we can definitely give that old man a good beating."
"But I really don't know. Why don't you ask Pluto?"
Ren looked at the highest-ranking Grim Reaper inside the cage.
At this moment, Pluto looked at Ren, but before he could speak, Ren suddenly roared in fury, "You Grim Reaper, how dare you frame me! But now that I no longer have the magical red bean bun, I doubt you'll tell the truth now."
Pluto: "..."
No, no, no, I think you're the one who's really good at framing people.
But then again, he really doesn't dare to speak now.
She was afraid that she might accidentally reveal some of Hades's little secrets.
For example, Hades previously received a demon from the Underworld Lizevim Li Zevim- Livan - Lucifer.
For example, in the deepest, icy hell of Hell, Lord Hades and Lizevim jointly constructed a massive army project to research the transcendent demons.
Furthermore, Lord Hades has already been secretly contacting the chief gods of several pantheons who are associated with Hell.
If he were to reveal this, Hades would find a way to kill him without even needing a trial by the three major powers.
In the end, Azazel still couldn't get any specific information about Dragon Eater Samael.
Gabriel offered a couple of words of advice during this time, but to no avail.
She could only give Ren a few resentful glances, then emphasize the danger posed by Samael, before finally taking Pluto back to the Heaven.
Aren't you leaving yet?
Ren looked at Azazel.
"I might be going to the Underworld soon to talk to Sirzechs about this. Are you coming? I remember recently a human Sacred Gear wielder group called the Brotherhood has emerged in the Underworld. If they hadn't mentioned your name, they would already be fighting the Underworld soldiers."
"What exactly do you want to achieve by forming these forces?"
At this point, Azazel looked at Ren seriously.
Ophis, Samael, and then the Brotherhood, which was similar in nature to the Hero Faction.
Sacred Gear have become a major focus of attention in various mythologies during this era.
Firstly, the appearance of the Longinus, and secondly, the previous attacks by the Hero Faction on various forces, deepened the gods' understanding of the power of Sacred Gear.
Although the Grigori had long been secretly searching for Sacred Gear wielders, a human force was clearly more attractive than those wandering Sacred Gear wielders compared to the notoriously bad-reputed Fallen Angels.
Moreover, it's said that the internal benefits are quite good.
Would you believe me if I said it was just for fun?
Then Azazel gave him a look that said, "Are you kidding me?"
"That settles it then."
Ren clapped his hands.
"Anyway, you won't believe anything I say now."
Azazel: "..."
Azazel and Ren's group arrived in the Underworld via a teleportation array.
The capital city, Lilith.
This is a colossal demon city stretching across the center of the Underworld, roughly the size of the entire Tokyo.
The sky above was still a pale purple hue created by magic, and the streets were deserted, much quieter than when I last visited.
The atmosphere in the Underworld was serious and tense due to the invasion of the monsters. As the battles between the allied forces and the monster hordes yielded little result, the people began to worry about the future of the Underworld.
"Why has the situation become so serious? Why haven't those Demon Lords made any moves yet? Is it because even the Demon Lords can't defeat those magical beasts, meow?"
"Kuroka asked."
"It's not that we can't beat them, but we can't act rashly. Asmodeus is suppressing the internal riots, while Ajuka is studying the body tissues of the magical beasts brought back from the front lines. The small magical beasts are manageable, but the large magical beasts' defenses are simply outrageous, and each one possesses completely different abilities. Based on the information I've gathered so far, the fifteen magical beasts have different abilities. Some have incredibly tough bodies, some are very strong, some are extremely fast, and one magical beast even has three forms: a strength type, a speed type, and a hybrid type."
"As for the largest monster with its head turned upside down, it's quite slow, but its defense is very strong, and it also releases a highly corrosive black mist."
At this point, Azazel pointed to the western sky.
The sky over there in the Underworld wasn't dark purple, but pure black.
"If it weren't for the barrier set up by the highest-ranking demon, Lilith would already be enveloped by that black mist."
At this point, Azazel's expression turned quite grim.
"Annihilation Maker is dangerous, but it also requires the holder to have a very rich imagination. Creating a qualified magical beast is not that simple. To create a powerful magical beast, every aspect must be taken into account. A superficial imagination can only create some very weak magical beasts."
"Leonardo is a descendant of that artist. Although he is very young, I never expected his imagination to be so rich and complete. If he is given more time to grow, he might be able to easily create magical beasts with strength comparable to a demon king, no... or even stronger."
At this point, the other girls also realized the seriousness of the problem.
At least for now, those monster hordes pose a far greater threat than the supreme Grim Reaper Pluto.
During this time, Ren remained silent, afraid that he might blurt out that Leonardo's inspiration came from him.
Even if we take a step back and say that the Annihilation Maker and the monster designs in tokusatsu shows are too authoritative, then...
And this is the youth version.
If you replaced it with a real monster from a tokusatsu show, even without the Mechanical Evil God from next door, a single Zetton or Gatanothor could destroy the entire planet.
"I'm going to report to Sirzechs. Are you coming with me, or staying here?"
Azazel, oblivious to Ren's unusual behavior, finished explaining and said...
