Chapter 606 Peace talks?"That's really interesting, how on earth do you do that?"
Asmodeus asked with interest, but Noshil did not give him a good look.
"This is none of your business."
Carrying the battle axe on his right shoulder, Noshil raised the giant hammer in his left hand and shook it towards the King of Nine Hells who had stopped.
"Although I had a feeling that making such a big noise might attract your attention when I came here, I didn't expect you to come so quickly."
"Ok?"
Asmodeus snorted lightly and raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he didn't quite understand what Noshir said.
"Gargos once told me something about you. He said that you are an arrogant guy, and almost nothing can arouse your interest and attention. Unless the entire Nine Hells are breached one by one, no matter what happens, you will give it to your subordinates to solve first, and I will only stay in the absolute domain of Nessus, and I don’t know what I am doing—"
Having said that, Noshir's eyes suddenly lit up with a silver-gray light and glanced at Asmodeus in front of him.
"——Heh, even though it was only an incarnation, it can still be considered as a personal visit. It seems that rumors cannot be trusted completely."
“You actually saw through my avatar—”
Noshir's words eased some of his doubts and allowed him to extract the most crucial information in an instant. Although there was no extra expression on Asmodeus' face at this time, he was truly shocked in his heart. Although this incarnation of his only carried less than 1/10 of his divine power, but except for the total amount of divine power, this body was almost no different from his original body - interesting, it seems that I still don't pay enough attention to him.
"Well, I seem to have heard a familiar name, Gargos, Gargos - ah, it's that daring little thief. This bold lunatic left a very deep impression on me. Haha, but this is really strange. I didn't expect that you would know my former subordinate, and what I didn't expect was that you actually let him go."
"——From your tone, it seems that you have always known the whereabouts of Gargauth?"
Asmodeus smiled.
"Of course, young man. I am the King of Demons, the ruler of the Nine Hells. I know every soul that should belong to the Nine Hells. My files contain the names of every one of them. I control everything about them. Everything, whether it is life or death, must be personally annotated by me before it can have real legal effect."
Having said that, Asmodeus's expression suddenly changed again.
"That madman stole what should have belonged to me, and stole the power that should have been mine. Although to me, it was only an insignificant power, betrayal is betrayal, and his self-assertion made me very dissatisfied, so I punished him." As soon as Asmodeus finished speaking, Noshil suddenly turned his head to the right. At the same time, the incarnation of the Devil King suddenly turned into a crimson energy whirlwind and dissipated in an instant, and an open space suddenly appeared on Noshil's right hand side.
The large patch of thorns that originally occupied the place suddenly disappeared in an instant, replaced by an exquisite small round table and two stone chairs that were gorgeously carved and decorated with gems and gold. A gorgeous red jade scepter was leaning against the table, and on one of the chairs, Asmodeus was raising his hand to direct a wine jug, pouring the dark red wine into two wine glasses, while slowly continuing the previous conversation.
"After confirming Gargauth's betrayal, I used my expertise and used some small conspiracies to reveal his whereabouts to an old colleague of mine. Later, I witnessed his end with my own eyes. So, logically speaking, he should have been sealed in that dark and narrow shield forever, relying on the immortality bestowed upon him by the gods, experiencing eternal pain and torture. But now it seems that this madman has ended his sentence early - because of another even more arrogant person."
"..."
It goes without saying who Asmodeus is talking about, but Noshil still has no comment, because he understands that Asmodeus's actions are just to exert pressure. The new guy is definitely Asmodeus's true form, and the reason why Asmodeus appears in his true form is because He is deliberately trying to find out his true strength, because ordinary people cannot look directly at the majesty of God.
However, Noshil was neither scared by these tricks nor interested in them, so the situation remained at a stalemate. Noshil did not reply and just watched Asmodeus perform quietly. Noshil's non-cooperation also made Asmodeus look a little unhappy, but soon, the King of the Nine Hells tried hard to suppress his temper and put away his previous stern face.
“…I can never stand this kind of silence.”
Asmodeus turned his head again and looked at Nosir once again, trying to see through his power. But this time, even though Asmodeus had arrived in person, his eyes that could see through souls could no longer see through Nosir.
This was obviously because Noshir had prepared in advance and used the power of God to block his prying eyes, but it didn't matter if he couldn't see through it, because for Asmodeus, not being able to see through it itself represented an answer, and this answer was that Noshir not only had a total amount of God's power that was not inferior to that of the Demon Lord Demogorgon! He could also fully mobilize this power! So that he was not inferior to the Demon Lord in actual combat ability!
This also means that this unknown guy, Noshir, is actually capable and strong enough to be on par with the devil king! And this answer means that Asmodeus must change his attitude towards Noshir.
He could no longer regard him as a young man who had just gained divine power, but as a true equal. When facing an equal, Asmodeus had to maintain the proper respect.
"——Come and sit down, Temariti. Although we have never met before and are not familiar with each other, as beings of the same level, I know and admire your strength."
Asmodeus's expression became more serious.
"You and I are the same person, so from now on, I will show you the necessary respect, but at the same time, I also hope that you can put aside those meaningless prejudices and solve the problems between you and me with a calm attitude."
Noshir still remained silent, but he did not object, and Asmodeus continued speaking at this time.
"Well, please take a seat. You invaded my kingdom without reason, dragged the angels to the underworld, broke the sacred agreement between heaven and hell by taking advantage of loopholes, destroyed my fortress, slaughtered my army, and wanted to take my general away. No matter what, you must give me an explanation for these things."
