Chapter 99: Overbearing God, Promise

This demon is quite interesting. Of course, what's even more interesting is this Jack who possessed it and that priest.

This Jack's willpower is not bad; he was actually able to resist the demon's erosion and even merge with it.

And that priest's methods were formidable; he was actually able to make such a box that utilizes a demon. Of course, he still lost a move in the end and was tricked by the demon, and his soul needs to go to hell.

Now, three side effects are known: going to hell, can only be used once, and limited ability.

So, what can I use this for?

Wish to cancel the side effects? Or wish for immortality to avoid the side effects? Or something else...

This requires looking at the priority of this thing. However, it's probably not possible. After all, the ability of this thing comes from the demon, and the demon has its own thinking; how could it be so easy for you to find a loophole?

They are the masters of finding loopholes.

Just as Louis was still thinking, Carl had already opened his eyes, looking as if he had already made a choice.

"Louis, you leave here first."

Obviously, Carl wanted Louis to leave to avoid the demon taking action against Louis.

"Grandfather... you will go to hell." Louis frowned, his tone deepening.

Unexpectedly, Carl said something that surprised Louis.

"I was going to go to hell anyway."

"Being able to live a few more decades and enjoy life in the human world is a gain."

???

Going to hell anyway?

"Grandfather, what are you talking about?"

"I have killed countless people in my life. When I was young, I killed opponents to survive; in middle age, I harmed the local area for the benefit of the gang; in my old age, although I don't take action directly, many orders were given by me. Someone like me, how could I not go to hell?"

"Instead of going to hell after dying naturally, it's better to live a few more decades and enjoy it."

I have to say, logically speaking, Grandfather's theory is fine.

However, all of this has a premise: is Grandfather really sure he will go to hell?

Elise beside them had a strange expression.

"Grandfather, are you really so sure you will go to hell?" Louis asked.

Hearing this, Carl laughed. "Ms. Elise, regarding this, you tell my grandson."

Elise organized her language and first said this.

"The church says that all people have sin, and they once sold indulgences in the Middle Ages. This is actually an interpretation of the doctrine, of course, it could also be a distortion."

Immediately after, she said.

"In this world, human souls must have a destination. If you believe in Christ, then you are under the jurisdiction of God and Satan. Correspondingly, whatever you believe in, you are under that jurisdiction."

"But this was only the rule a long time ago."

"Nowadays, because of some unknown reasons, and the relationship of the region, most of the time, God will..."

Speaking of this, Elise paused.

Carl took over and said, "God is overbearing and often crosses boundaries to exercise jurisdiction. So usually, all souls only have two paths: either go to heaven or go to hell."

"So, all people have sin, and everyone needs to atone for their sins. Otherwise, they need to go to hell."

"And I, obviously, have nothing left to atone for."

Louis understood.

This is a problem of business division. Because of some reasons, the boss of the leading gang, God, took most of the business into his arms and even crossed regions to grab business from other gangs. Not only that, he also set rules that anyone he wants to manage must follow his rules.

And his grandfather now following his rules means he is full of sin and needs to go to hell.

So Grandfather thought of contacting hell in advance, taking a side door, and letting the demon give him parole for a few decades so he could enjoy himself for a while longer.

Good guy, it actually turned out to be like this!

The God of this world is so overbearing.

Even if you don't believe in him, you have to follow his rules.

Louis was greatly shocked. If that's the case, am I not... wait, I shouldn't count, I have a god covering me.

"Grandfather, have you tried believing in other gods?"

Carl shook his head. "Of course I've tried, it's useless. Being born on this land, everything was destined from the beginning."

"And now many pagan gods don't manifest their spirits either, and I don't know why."

"..."

So, what should we do now?

Stop Grandfather? Or not stop him?

Louis stood there thinking, and the whole room fell into silence again, and Carl actually didn't urge him, just looked at Louis with gentle and kind eyes.

He knew Louis was concerned about him and didn't want him to go to hell.

Having this heart already proves everything. After he leaves, with his ability, he can also help Max protect the gang and guard the family. However, he must first train him to become a talent and receive education; otherwise, even if he is precocious, he is easily led astray...

"Grandfather, don't use it for now, okay? Give it to me, I'll think of a way. If it really doesn't work, the future me will have a way." Louis said suddenly, looking at Carl very seriously.

Carl, who was thinking about the future, couldn't help but be stunned.

"Louis! What are you talking about? Don't interfere with your grandfather's decision." Max scolded.

He had no malice, just as Carl said, this is the best choice. At least this way, Carl can live a few more decades.

"Uncle, things involving demons often don't have good results. I don't trust this box, and besides, hell and such, it's not like there are no other ways. I feel that I will have the ability to help Grandfather in the future."

Louis said seriously, raising his finger, a cluster of flames ignited out of thin air between his fingers, then turned into a fire dragon circling in the room, majestic and extraordinary.

The room was scorching, proving that this thing was real.

Elise's eyes widened, Minnie's body trembled slightly, and Max's eyes were full of wonder.

"Hahahaha!" Carl laughed instead.

The gaze looking at Louis was full of satisfaction, no longer hesitating.

He stood up, walked to Louis, and patted him on the shoulder. "Good, good young man."

"Grandfather promises you, I won't use it for now."

"Anyway, I can still live for many years, and it won't be too late to use it when I really can't go on. Before that, Grandfather will listen to you."

Louis nodded and kept this matter firmly in his heart.

He doesn't believe that the Left Path Mindian Society doesn't have a way to extend life. If it really doesn't work, he'll just take that kowtow method and use it first.

Seeing his father change his mind, Max didn't say anything more. He actually didn't want his father to use this thing either, always feeling that the danger was a bit high. It was really because the unreliability of demons had already been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Seeing this, Elise also breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that she didn't want the other party to extend their life, but this method requires sacrificing other people's lives and souls, and dealing with demons often doesn't have good results. This is the truth.

On the contrary, Minnie, who had been following Elise, was still confused. She didn't quite understand what they were saying. Forgive her, she was just a student from an ordinary public high school.

What hell, what overbearing God, etc., she couldn't understand, it was so strange.
