Lucifer, the Lord of Hell, a former Archangel who stood on equal footing with Michael and could beat down all of Hell, found himself in a rare state of bewilderment.

"Is there something wrong with humans these days?"

As one of the Creator's once most beloved angels, Lucifer naturally knew of humanity's existence.

To him, humans were weak, foolish, and incompetent, yet endearing. They were hardly a particularly outstanding creation, but they weren't a failure, either.

But after watching Zaragu's memories, Lucifer began to wonder whether he'd been viewing humanity through excessively rose-tinted glasses.

Could humans really come up with methods this depraved?

Never mind the acid burns and electric chair currents-he'd at least seen those methods before. But were they serious about the things they were discussing?

Using demons as materials to manufacture machinery. What a wicked, twisted idea.

Truth be told, Lucifer thought it was wonderfully creative-far better than anything those rigid-minded dumbasses in Hell could come up with.

This human was clearly prime demon material!

Unlike Lucifer, who could still ponder things at his leisure, Zuo Ci was already breaking into a cold sweat.

"Fuck, someone seriously terrifying showed up this time..."

Several major players had already gotten involved in Gotham, but dangerous as the Green and the Red were, they weren't impossible to deal with. After all, they would wage proxy wars at most, rather than intervene personally.

And even if they did intervene personally, Zuo Ci had ways to deal with or contain them.

But Lucifer Morningstar? Right now, Zuo Ci had absolutely no answer for him.

Never mind that his system was currently upgrading and unavailable-even if it weren't, his meager savings wouldn't be enough to do anything to Lucifer.

And it wasn't just him. The entire Earth as it stood, even with Superman
