Chapter 349: Azazel Understood Everything

That night, Sirzechs arrived at Yasaka Shrine, travel-worn and weary.

Under the reception of the Yokai of the Yokai faction at Yasaka Shrine, he secretly arrived at the reception hall.

"Hiss, I nearly froze to death coming here."

Walking into the reception room, Sirzechs, with a towel wrapped around his neck, wiped the water stains from his body incessantly while speaking to Rias, who was standing in the corner temporarily serving as the Demon King's assistant.

"Rias, help me pour a cup of warm water."

"Oh, oh."

Rias took a cup of warm water from the water dispenser nearby and handed it over.

"Sirzechs, this is?"

The Fallen Angel Governor Azazel, sitting on the Fallen Angel side, asked curiously.

Sirzechs gulped down the hot water, exhaled a turbid breath, and complained as if venting.

"What else could it be? I snuck over from the Underworld hidden in a refrigerated truck."

"Are the problems on the Devil side that severe?"

Su Nian, sitting in the main seat of the meeting, frowned.

"Those old immortals in the Council are becoming somewhat blatant."

Sirzechs rubbed his face fiercely with the towel, then narrowed his eyes to observe everyone.

The Son of God Su Nian, Fallen Angel Governor Azazel and his assistant Baiqiu, the Heaven side's Vice-Ruler of Heaven Michael and his assistant Gabriel.

Plus him and Rias, the three factions could be considered fully assembled.

Because apart from the Angels, the other factions mostly had quite a few opposition members internally, as well as this kind of resistance.

No, the Angels could not avoid it either; there were still quite a few spies from other factions within the Church.

The tripartite talks would certainly not go too smoothly, and with such a major matter, there would inevitably be all sorts of wrangling.

Su Nian found it troublesome, and they found it troublesome too, so to be on the safe side, it was better to discuss some things in advance.

As for the formal talks, that would just be going through the motions, at most wrangling over minor matters and some other interests.

Therefore, the leaders of the three factions would hold a small meeting first under Su Nian's witness to finalize the cooperation plans for various aspects.

Otherwise, waiting until the formal meeting, they would likely fall into endless wrangling.

In this regard, the leaders of the three factions had a considerable consensus.

Hearing Sirzechs's complaint, Su Nian tapped the table and said with a frown.

"The Devil Council is becoming a bit of a hindrance."

"Yes, I will clear out the Devil Council as soon as I return."

Just as Su Nian finished speaking, Sirzechs stood up and said in a firm tone.

The firmness of his tone was just like an Angel who had received an order from God.

Azazel's pupils constricted, and he teased Sirzechs in a tone carrying a hint of a joke.

"Hmm? Sirzechs, there's no need for such a firm tone, is there? Why does it seem like you've encountered Satan?"

Sirzechs did not speak, just looked at Azazel deeply.

Azazel was silent for a moment, his tone trembling slightly, seemingly doubting his life.

"Hey, hey, Sirzechs, say something..."

Watching Sirzechs not react at all, Azazel felt his brain was completely muddled.

"Don't tell me the Son of God Heavenly Lord is still the origin of you Devils? Isn't the Demon Ancestor Lilith? Could it be that Satan really exists?"

The contents recorded in the Bible were a mix of truth and falsehood; some were things that had truly happened, while others were just things made up by believers.

For example, the Great Demon who could rival God, the Lord of Hell, Satan.

"Satan?"

Himejima Akeno looked at Su Nian with a shocked expression; the legendary Devil who could contend with God, the evil side of God.

Even Michael and Gabriel could not help but look at Su Nian.

But it didn't add up, did it? In their view, Su Nian was simply the Avatar of God; if they weren't clear that Su Nian was not God, they would almost be worshipping Su Nian as God.

Sirzechs gave a bitter smile and looked at Su Nian with a similarly puzzled expression; he actually didn't know what was going on with himself either.

Normally, the Satan of another world shouldn't be able to control the Devils of this world, right? But what was this feeling coming from the bottom of his heart that facing Su Nian was like facing the entire origin of Devils?

"Son of God Heavenly Lord, I also want to know what exactly is going on with this reaction of mine? Didn't the Mother of Devils Lilith perish together with God in the ancient war?"

Su Nian tilted his head slightly and asked Sirzechs in return.

"Are you sure Lilith participated in the ancient war?"

"No... wait? That's not right? What is going on?"

Sirzechs was sweating a bit; he felt that his perception of the world seemed to have developed a discrepancy.

And Rias on the side asked with some confusion.

"Brother, didn't the Mother of Devils Lilith disappear without a trace after creating the Devils? Lilith Heavenly Lord did not participate in the ancient war, did she?"

"Wait... Rias, this joke isn't funny."

Sirzechs looked at Su Nian in a daze; he felt as if he were living in a joke.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore."

Looking at the people around him who were bewildered and doubting their lives, Su Nian waved his hand casually and said.

"The Lilith of this world might not necessarily have been born from this world."

Su Nian said meaningfully at this moment.

"But wasn't Lilith created by the Lord?"

Michael doubted her own memory, but she clearly remembered that the Lord created Lilith, and Lilith gave birth to the Devils, and perished together with the Lord in the ancient war?

No, that's not right; for some reason, that memory has become a bit blurry.

The two Fallen Angels present were also bewildered.

They also doubted whether their own memories had gone wrong.

"Is there a possibility that both results are correct?"

Su Nian rolled his eyes, looked at this group of people who didn't even know to ask, and took the initiative to explain.

"You Devils were indeed created by Lilith, but this Lilith is my partner; she went back to the past and replaced the Lilith of this world who was created by the God of the Bible."

"And she replaced her to create the first Devils, but in order to avoid causing an impact on the present by returning to the past, under the effect of the Historical Correction Force, it turned into what it is now, didn't it?"

Returning to the past? Historical Correction Force? Lilith from another world?

Everyone was stunned, and their expressions changed instantly; this kind of thing really exceeded the limits of their imagination.

"This is really..."

Sirzechs revealed a bitter smile; so that's how things were.

No wonder the other party didn't care about Devils at all, and no wonder he had no power to resist in front of him.

"However, Heavenly Lord Holy Son, I have another question: why did Heavenly Lord Lilith want to replace the Lilith of this world?"

Rias asked in confusion; did she go to such great lengths to return to the past just to kill Lilith?

"Lilith is too ugly, and so are the Devils of this world."

Su Nian said without even lifting his head.

"Little Algol couldn't accept that the Lilith of this world was such an ugly existence, and well, she also looked down on the Devils of this world."

Hearing this, everyone fell completely silent.

What kind of capricious existence is this? Just because she looked down on the Devils of this world, she changed the origin of the Devils of this world?

Sirzechs was silent, and he sighed helplessly.

He had no opinion about the origin being changed, but what should he do if his own ancestor looked down on him?

Is there still a possibility of redemption?

Meanwhile, on the other side, Gabriel, who was sitting next to Michael, asked curiously.

"Why, since you can return to the past, can't you modify the fact of the God's death? And can't you go back to when the Exe World was still weak and destroy that world?"

Su Nian rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"Time is not something that can be toyed with so easily; those who toy with time will surely be toyed with by time."

Of course, for him and Algol, modifying time at will is indeed possible, but it is not conducive to observation.

Hearing this, everyone also gave up on this tempting proposal.

"And rather than thinking about playing dirty tricks, it's better to think more about how to resist the Exe World."

"Then what if we successfully resist the Exe World?"

After a bit of meddling by Sirzechs, Azazel could be considered to have confidently figured out the lower limit of Su Nian's abilities.

Why can it only be called the lower limit? Because his upper limit has already reached a point he cannot understand.

Why can the Holy Son capture the Mechanical Evil God of the Exe World at will? And even let them study them? Try to find a way to let them resist the Exe World?

Yet the Holy Son can easily subdue Ophis and even teach methods that can easily allow Ophis to progress?

And the knowledge Su Nian gave him—just by studying a portion of it, he felt he benefited greatly.

The most outrageous thing is this little devil Rias; although her strength hasn't changed much, for some reason, the Destruction Magic Power on her can already bring a certain sense of threat to him.

It is impossible that Su Nian didn't have a hand in this.

He felt that Su Nian didn't come to this world to resist the invasion of the Exe World, but rather to recruit subordinates.

And whether they can resist the Exe World is the test Su Nian has set for them.

Thinking of this, Azazel felt as if he understood everything.

This is actually just a test for them.

"Then you will have the qualifications to become my true subordinates."

Su Nian glanced at Azazel and said casually.

Now that he has developed, he doesn't want just any riffraff.

If they aren't loyal enough or capable enough, wouldn't it be better for him to create some Mechanical Gods and Buddhas or Mechanical Dragon Species?

For lower-level forces, the Blood Empire of Strike the Blood is enough.

The risk of having Vampires as subordinates is much lower than having these Devils, Fallen Angels, and Angels who share names with those existences in the Cross Religion as subordinates.

Do you really think a Small Bible Pantheon is so easy to build?

The risk of digging at the roots of the Cross Religion is huge; even if he were given a free pass, he might not be able to withstand it without some strength of his own.

Although this is an alternative plan, it is not so easy to become a member of his alternative plans.
