The Contract of San Venganza, everything revolves around it.
It is the true key.
And its function is not simply to summon evil spirits.
Standing on the ruins of the village of San Venganza, Li Yue's expression was calm. Even facing two fourth-tier figures, Wallow and Ghost Rider Johnny, he remained unfazed.
"Wallow, you and I, we were both wrong!"
"Our use of the Contract of San Venganza was incorrect. However, you didn't know, but I did it on purpose!"
"Wrong?" Wallow was startled. Mephistopheles had said this too, but he didn't believe it at all.
But hearing it from Li Yue's mouth now made Wallow have to question its truth.
Because the Contract of San Venganza was gone.
"Wrong, no, how could I be wrong? The only one who was wrong was my father, and you. Yes, it's you, everything is because of you. You actually wanted to seize its power, didn't you? All this scheming, wasn't it just to obtain the power of the Contract of San Venganza?"
Wallow sneered.
"Now you've succeeded! Yes, you can mock me. But are you still planning to deceive us?"
"You don't understand!"
Li Yue's expression remained unchanged as he shook his head.
"You know nothing, Wallow. The information you know was spread by Mephistopheles. It's all false, rumors he used to fool others."
"Unfortunately, Mephistopheles never expected that his own son would actually believe it, come to the human world for this contract, and even banish his own clones, ruining his plan!"
Li Yue smiled, "So, a useless teammate kills people!"
"You..."
Wallow was enraged.
He was about to act.
But Li Yue glanced at him indifferently, and instantly, Wallow was drenched in sweat.
"Be quiet! Your power is nothing in my eyes!"
"Listen to me carefully. I wouldn't be bored enough to lie to you! Because there's no need anymore!"
After a pause, Li Yue began to speak in detail.
He wanted to put an end to all of this.
A conclusion.
"It was about a few decades ago!"
"Those days were the fastest period of human societal development and technological advancement.
Every day, every moment, there were new discoveries, new weapons being created.
At that time, wars were still being fought.
At that time, people's lives were still very simple.
Mephistopheles descended to the human world during that time.
Unfortunately, his true body was too powerful to descend. I'm not sure about the specific reason, but it's probably due to rule restrictions or something similar.
Therefore, he could only walk among humans using an avatar.
Mephistopheles is the King of Devils, at least a fifth-tier existence. So, even his avatar would have at least fourth-tier power."
"However, after Mephistopheles came to the human world, he found that the world had changed. It was vastly different from what he had seen before.
Humanity was developing too quickly, and the world was changing too much.
Human weapons, human mutants, everything about humanity was changing with each passing day.
In the eyes of the Demon King Mephistopheles, if this rate of development continued, in a few more decades, humans would no longer fear his reputation.
Hell would also never have the chance to conquer this land.
So, Mephistopheles started to find a way!"
Hearing this, Johnny couldn't help but interject, "You mean, the Contract of San Venganza is the method Mephistopheles came up with to conquer Earth?"
His tone was full of deep sarcasm.
Li Yue was not angry about this.
He nodded, then shook his head.
"Yes, and no!"
"Do you know? Johnny, the Contract of San Venganza can summon evil spirits,
You must have felt the degree of evil in those souls!"
"Yes, incredibly evil!" Johnny lowered his skull head and said in a low voice.
"But, do you know what kind of people the villagers in this village were decades ago?"
"Simple, loving, upright, kind, brave, optimistic..."
"And now, they have all turned into evil spirits of jealousy, greed, anger, pride...!"
"All of this was caused by Mephistopheles!"
"Turning extreme good into an extreme evil, this is original sin, the seven deadly sins."
"He came here, signed a contract with the villagers of this village, and then used various means to deceive them, making them commit various sins and kill each other!"
"Then, this village, which was like paradise, became a human purgatory!"
"The villagers all turned into evil spirits!"
"Only the Contract of San Venganza can summon these evil spirits!"
Speaking of this, Li Yue paused, then continued, "Originally, I also thought that Mephistopheles spent such a high price to devour these evil souls carrying original sin!"
"But, later, I accidentally saw a piece of information in the Bible, and only then did I realize that this was just the beginning!"
"Hehe!"
Speaking of this, Li Yue couldn't help but laugh.
"Mephistopheles is truly a genius at plotting, a formidable figure!"
"Do you know? The Bible says, when the shadow of original sin covers the earth, the glory of the Lord will descend again!"
"So, what happens if you think about this in reverse?"
"When the glory of the Lord descends, the shadow of original sin will descend upon the earth! Isn't that right?"
"Only when evil spreads will Heaven send down angels. Similarly, when angels descend from Heaven, it means great evil has been born in the human world!"
"And decades ago, it just so happened that such an angel descended to the human world!"
"Wallow, I believe you know this very well!"
Li Yue looked at Wallow and said indifferently.
"Michael?!"
Wallow's face darkened as he responded coldly.
His few subordinates, Wallow, Abigor, and Gressil, were hunted down by Michael and eternally banished to the human world, living in the shadows.
"Yes, Michael, the Archangel of Heaven!"
"Decades ago, humanity was in chaos due to war, and evil was rampant, causing many devils from hell to escape to the human world. For this, angels descended to cleanse and banish them!"
"It is difficult for devils to come to the human world. They can only rely on luck or powerful strength, as there is no direct passage!"
"Therefore, there are few devils in the human world."
"And wherever there are angels, there are bound to be powerful devils and demons!"
"And Mephistopheles' goal was the lives and blood of those great demons and devils!"
"He wanted to use this blood to water this land, to truly turn the village of San Venganza, this peaceful place, into a demonic land with the lives of countless devils and demons!"
Li Yue's voice gradually grew louder.
"Demons from hell are difficult to come to the human world. It's either by chance or by possessing powerful strength. Only powerful strength can break the barrier between the human world and hell, just like Wallow, you came here that way, didn't you?"
Li Yue smiled and looked at Wallow as he spoke.
Wallow remained silent. He did indeed come that way, as do most demons who come to the human world.
However, there are too few devils with this level of strength, pitifully few.
Ignoring Wallow's reaction, Li Yue continued speaking.
"These people were Mephistopheles' targets, but he couldn't act rashly!"
"Although he is the Demon King, what is in the human world is only his avatar. Therefore, he had to have a detailed plan, and he was determined to follow behind Michael and snatch the prey!"
"Finally, he succeeded. He successfully turned this place into a human purgatory, a true hell!"
"This is the most suitable place for devils."
Saying this, Li Yue looked mockingly at the two in front of him.
"Heh, haven't you realized it yet? It's clearly daytime, but your power hasn't diminished in the slightest, you can still use it freely!"
"This is because the land you are standing on is watered with demonic blood, it is the human hell meticulously crafted by Mephistopheles!"
"But what does this have to do with him wanting to dominate the human world?"
Johnny couldn't help but ask.
After talking for so long, he still didn't understand.
He roughly understood that Mephistopheles had created this place suitable for demons to survive by watering it with demonic blood.
He didn't understand anything else.
"Stupid!"
Li Yue shook his head.
"Think about it, an evil spirit contract that summons souls of original sin, a land that can accommodate devils to survive, what concept is this?"
"I don't understand!"
Johnny frowned (how does a skull frown? Imagine it yourself). He couldn't figure out Mephistopheles' purpose in doing this.
"Ah, it seems I overestimated your intelligence before!"
"Think, if you were Mephistopheles, what would you do with these two things?"
"How to use them to dominate the human world!"
Seeing Johnny's still bewildered look, Li Yue shook his head.
"It seems that although you have the power of the Spirit of Vengeance, you don't understand devils as well as I do, an outsider!"
"You know, in my research, there is a very interesting legend, well, about devils!"
"Legend has it that devils originate from sin! Pure sin makes them stronger, but there is another way to become stronger: sacrifice!"
"I'm not sure what they sacrifice to, but isn't that a very interesting piece of information?"
"Could it be..."
Hearing this, Wallow seemed to have thought of something, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"Have you thought of it?"
"Yes, Mephistopheles' purpose is to sacrifice these souls of original sin that he meticulously created, and then open a passage between hell and the human world, allowing the devils inside, or rather, his subordinates, to enter the human world!"
"Even including himself!"
"And the village of San Venganza is the devils' paradise in the human world, the base camp Mephistopheles built for the future!"
"Because devils fear light, most devils are very weak during the day, pitifully weak, including Mephistopheles himself!"
"Therefore, without either of these two, it would be impossible to succeed!"
...
At this point, they both understood.
The Contract of San Venganza could summon the evil spirits within it, but these evil spirits were never meant to be devoured.
The evil spirits carrying the seven deadly sins were precious, important items Mephistopheles used for sacrifice to open the passage between the human world and hell.
And the village of San Venganza was the demonic land.
With a passage, devils could come to the human world through it. With the demonic land, devils could thrive and multiply in this demonic land after arriving in the human world.
As for the size of the demonic land, hehe, for devils, this was never a problem, space technology or magic could easily solve it.
Mephistopheles' plan was to use this base camp to continuously invade the human world with devils from hell.
This way, no matter how fast humanity developed, it couldn't keep up with the destruction speed of the endless devils in hell.
As long as his plan succeeded, everything would change.
He, Mephistopheles, would truly rule this world!
