Chapter 1692

They actually started fighting...

Watching the purple-skinned angels, who had unfolded wings polluted to a deep purple, rushing towards the abyss one after another, the Capricorn Director, who was mixed among them, couldn't help but look up at the sky, wishing he could raise his hand and slap himself hard twice.

My brain must have been eaten by a dog back then to have thought about teaching Aquarius the Capricorn Palace's Anomalous Purification Secret Art... Although Aquarius didn't learn how to purify angels, the "angels" he purified have already, damn it, almost "purified" the entire Heaven Mountain.

"Lord Capricorn..."

Watching the purple-skinned angels jumping into the abyss like dumplings in front, several Zodiac Bureau Chiefs, who were also covered in purple skin, couldn't help but look at each other, and then asked with extremely strained expressions:

"What should we do? Should we run?"

"Run? Where to run?"

After hearing the question from the Zodiac Bureau Chiefs, the Capricorn Director turned his head to look at the purple-skinned angels surging from behind. His face, full of worry, couldn't help but twitch fiercely twice, and then he said speechlessly:

"Because we kowtowed particularly devoutly, and we also carry some 'breath of the Lord' on us, we have already been appointed as the Pope's personal guards and were directly pushed into the very center of the Holy War Army.

This place will be discovered as soon as there is any unusual movement, and now no matter which direction we walk, there are at least ten thousand angels blocking us. Where do you plan to run?"

"..."

"Don't think about it, let's go down together!"

Surrounded by a crowd of purple-skinned angels, after moving forward a long distance, looking at the huge aperture below that led directly to the Hundred Abyss Prisons, the Capricorn Director couldn't help but close his eyes and say:

"I could catch a high-level angel, purify myself temporarily, and then forcibly leave Heaven Mountain, but you don't have my ability. Once you use your ability and it affects your appearance, you will be recognized immediately and thrown into the Pool of Rebirth to soak.

Compared to that outcome, we might as well follow them into the abyss. At least we won't have to fight to the death with these brain-damaged angels... Especially since we've mixed into the Pope's personal guards, we don't need to make a move under normal circumstances. Following them into the abyss is actually safer than running directly."

"..."

That's true...

Not having come up with any other way, after discussing it, the Zodiac Bureau Chiefs finally had to follow the Capricorn Director's request, straightening their spines and spreading their wings, putting on a spirited appearance, and loyally guarding the side of "His Holiness the Pope."

However, looking at the abyss aperture that opened in the very center of the Pool of Rebirth, looking like a huge black eyeball, the Zodiac Bureau Chiefs, who understood the strength of the abyss, really had no confidence in their hearts and couldn't help but continue to ask:

"Lord Capricorn, you understand the situation of Heaven Mountain best here. Do you think these angels' so-called 'Holy War' can succeed?"

"They're guaranteed to lose."

The Capricorn Director, who had been appointed as the captain of the personal guards, while vigilantly performing his guard duties, quietly curled the corner of his mouth and "leaked" his answer from within.

"Since the Bureau has had corresponding records, the angels on Heaven Mountain have never been a match for the abyss demons; they are almost always the ones being invaded every time.

The strength of ordinary angels and ordinary demons is similar, but the number is slightly less than the demons. If you look at the specific ratio, it's about six to seven. And in terms of the number of top-tier powerhouses on both sides, Heaven Mountain doesn't have any advantage either.

The Nine Great Angels of Heaven Mountain are similar in strength to the seven Original Sin Demon Gods of the Hundred Abyss Prisons, but the problem is that there is also an Original Sin Great Demon God in the Hundred Abyss Prisons. Mastering seven original sins simultaneously, its level is on par with the Supreme Four Pillar Gods, or even slightly stronger. Just by itself, it can equal three Original Sin Demon Gods.

The bottom layer is six to seven, and the top layer is nine to ten. Therefore, whether it's the quantity of ordinary angels or the quality of top-tier powerhouses, Heaven Mountain is a step behind the Hundred Abyss Prisons. So, from the past to the present, they have always been beaten and basically haven't won much."

So that's how it is...

For Heaven Mountain, which didn't have a strong presence among the fourteen planes, the Zodiac Bureau Chiefs didn't know much either. After hearing the Capricorn Director's explanation, everyone couldn't help but nod repeatedly, and then asked with some confusion:

"Since there has always been a gap in strength and they are opposed to each other, why has Heaven Mountain persisted for so many years without being thoroughly wiped out by the demons of the Hundred Abyss Prisons?"

"That's a long story."

Facing the questions of the Zodiac Bureau Chiefs, the Capricorn Director, who was always talkative, was naturally quite happy to answer, directly explaining with a smile in the "private channel" built by everyone's spirits:

"For one, although there is a gap in strength between Heaven Mountain and the Hundred Abyss Prisons, it's not particularly large, so they can barely manage a stalemate, at least enough to defend Heaven Mountain from being captured.

For another, the other side is a group of demons after all. You can't expect a group of demons to have any spirit of cooperation. In terms of the average moral level of demons, even if they stab other demons in the back two fewer times, they could be considered saints.

And the angels here are angels after all. Even if they have conflicts with each other usually, they can still stand together against the demons when it comes to fighting them. With one side growing and the other waning, the two sides have managed a draw. Although Heaven Mountain has been beaten to the point of being unable to fight back, they haven't suffered any major losses...

Hmm... at least they really didn't suffer any major losses before."

Looking down at the Pool of Rebirth, which had been thoroughly polluted by the pus of evil and had become gray and murky, the Capricorn Director said with great emotion:

"If it had just been maintained like that, although Heaven Mountain would be beaten every few days, it wouldn't have ended up like this. The problem is the Hexi Angel who ranked second among the Nine Great Angels... Oh right, before our 'Pope' was polluted, he was a Hexi Angel."

After his chin subtly tilted slightly to the side, gesturing towards the Hundred-Eyed Pope who used to be a Thousand-Eyed Angel, the Capricorn Director continued to explain:

"The Nine Great Angels are not just nine Pillar God-level Archangels; they are also the nine largest angel tribes in Heaven. Among them, the angel tribe with six wings and a thousand eyes is called Hexi, and the Hexi Angel among the Nine Great Angels is the strongest among this tribe.

These Hexi Angels believe that eyes are windows to observe the world, and the number of eyes on their bodies represents the amount of wisdom. Therefore, the one thousand eyes on the bodies of Hexi Angels represent supreme wisdom and a gaze that pierces through all sins, claiming that no sin can escape their eyes.

By the way, do you know? Besides having six wings and a thousand eyes, Hexi Angels have other characteristics. For example, their eyelashes have barbs, and as long as they close their eyes, they will prick their own eyeballs, so they usually..."

"Lord Capricorn! We don't want to know these!"

Seeing that he started to change the subject again as he spoke, seemingly preparing to talk about all the Nine Great Angel tribes, the Zodiac Bureau Chiefs, who could no longer bear it, finally interrupted his chatter and asked with quite stiff expressions:

"We only want to know now why Heaven Mountain, which was originally maintained in a balanced state, has become like this."

"Sigh, look at you all, impatient again."

After turning his head to look at the Zodiac Bureau Chiefs whose expressions weren't very good, the Capricorn Director, who was enjoying himself, licked his lips and then said with some disappointment:

"I wasn't just about to say it... After realizing that Heaven Mountain could never defeat the abyss, that Hexi Angel among the Nine Great Angels thought of a way with its 'wisdom that perceives everything'."

"What way?"

"Sowing discord, of course. After all, those demons fall for that."

Because Heaven Mountain used to be full of Mad Angels, and there were few angels who could speak human language, the greatest pleasure of the Capricorn Director, who was stationed in Heaven Mountain, was digging up secrets from the past. Over the decades, he had almost turned Heaven Mountain upside down and was fully qualified to say that no one understood Heaven Mountain better than him.

Under the inquiring gazes of the Zodiac Bureau Chiefs, the Capricorn Director revealed the secret with a smile:

"At that time, the Original Sin Great Demon God was the master of the Hundred Abyss Prisons, with a status above the other seven Original Sin Demon Gods. So, that Hexi Angel took the fourth-ranked Modi Angel and sneaked into the abyss, taking the initiative to visit four of the seven Original Sin Demon Gods.

Oh right, I have to tell you, 'Modi' is also an angel tribe. Managing emotions and love, their appearance is exactly the opposite of the thousand-eyed Hexi Angel. They only have one eye on their whole body, and it's blind, signifying blind love and emotions that arise for no reason..."

"Lord Capricorn!"

"Oh, don't rush... this really can't be omitted..."

Facing the protests of the Zodiac Bureau Chiefs, the Capricorn Director helplessly brought the topic back, muttering:

"The ability of that Modi Angel is to stimulate those blind and groundless emotions, making people become intense and blind. And the Original Sin Demon Gods didn't expect that the two of them would dare to go down to the abyss, plus they were indulgent and greedy by nature, so naturally, they fell for the trick as soon as they met.

The Hexi Angel took the blind Modi Angel and visited the four Original Sin Demon Gods of Pride, Wrath, Greed, and Envy one after another, and forcibly amplified their desires and emotions.

After their visit, the four Original Sin Demon Gods temporarily lost control of themselves. The Pride Demon God couldn't tolerate the Original Sin Great Demon God being above him, the Greed Demon God started coveting the authority of the Original Sin Great Demon God, and the Envy Demon God was aroused with jealousy and hatred in his heart..."

So... the Original Sin Great Demon God was actually betrayed?!!!

Hearing this, the Zodiac Bureau Chiefs also reacted, their faces showing shock one after another.

"Lord Capricorn! So those four Original Sin Demon Gods actually joined forces to lure the Original Sin Great Demon God to Heaven Mountain under the influence of the Modi Angel's 【Blind Emotion】?"

"Hmm, pretty much."

The Capricorn Director first nodded to acknowledge this statement, and then added:

"I once captured two of the Nine Great Angels and briefly helped them get rid of the influence of the pus of evil. According to the situation they described, after the Original Sin Great Demon God came up at that time, the 【Abyss Aperture】 back to the abyss was closed.

Then, the Original Sin Great Demon God, who couldn't leave Heaven Mountain on its own and couldn't return to the Hundred Abyss Prisons, was killed under the siege of the nine of them and died in the Pool of Rebirth.

Originally, when it reached this point, the Hexi Angel's plan had already succeeded, but the 'sin' on the Original Sin Great Demon God was too heavy. The pus of evil that flowed to the deepest part of the abyss after its death also polluted the entire Pool of Rebirth in turn, driving all the angels crazy."

"..."

So... in a sense. The 'pollution' suffered by Heaven Mountain was actually brought upon themselves?

After hearing this old story about Heaven Mountain, the curiosity of the Zodiac Bureau Chiefs was satisfied, and their tense bodies unconsciously relaxed.

However, perhaps because the work of guarding the "Pope" was too boring and there was really nothing to do, they could only gossip with each other in spiritual communication. Soon, someone curiously asked again:

"But Pillar Gods won't die, right? Since the strength of that Original Sin Great Demon God was already at the level of the Supreme Four Pillar Gods, it should also be impossible to kill... Lord Capricorn, could it be that the Original Sin Great Demon God didn't die completely, or has already quietly revived somewhere?"

"I'm not clear about that."

The Capricorn Director shook his head upon hearing this and said:

"Logically speaking, Pillar Gods master the principles of the world, and as long as the corresponding principles of the world do not perish, they will not die, but this is not absolute.

When our Cleaning Bureau dealt with the Supreme Four Pillar Gods back then, we found several small planes in the Old Earth that lacked complete rules and lacked the principles of the world they mastered, and forcibly drove them in, which was how we killed them in disguise.

And Heaven Mountain can also be considered a plane with incomplete rules, and what is missing here happens to be the principles of the world related to the Original Sin Great Demon God. Therefore, after the Original Sin Great Demon God was killed in the Pool of Rebirth, it's not impossible that it died completely... Oh right!"

Speaking of this, seemingly remembering something interesting, the Capricorn Director couldn't help but smile and say:

"Let me tell you something very fun... Actually, most of the demons in the Hundred Abyss Prisons don't believe that the Original Sin Great Demon God will thoroughly perish. The demons believe that although the Original Sin Great Demon God was killed in Heaven Mountain, only a part of its 'past' died.

As the Original Sin Great Demon God, its life, although it met the most thorough end, just like the Supreme Four Pillar Gods, there will be a new Original Sin Great Demon God reborn from the principles of the world it mastered.

Even if the newborn Original Sin Great Demon God might have no memories and has a new body and soul, theoretically speaking, it has already become another person, but its essence will still not change. In the future, it will definitely inherit everything of that Original Sin Great Demon God, and then with a posture that sweeps everything, it will once again rule the Hundred Abyss Prisons."

"..."

Feeling the seemingly very pleasant emotion coming from the spiritual link from the Capricorn Director, the Zodiac Bureau Chiefs couldn't help but look at each other, and then someone couldn't help but ask:

"Lord Capricorn, this doesn't sound like good news, right? Why do you seem particularly happy? And what's fun about this kind of thing?"

"Hehe, this matter itself is indeed not fun, but thinking about the 'candidate' those demons found, this matter will be very interesting."

Recalling the news he had learned from "His Holiness the Pope" over the past two days by relying on constant flattery of "Lord Ang," the Capricorn Director, who had gotten the scoop, couldn't help but grin, revealing two rows of snow-white teeth.

"Those demons who firmly believe that the Original Sin Great Demon God will return think that Li Ang is the newborn Original Sin Great Demon God!"
