Custom Made Demon King

Facing Mephisto's so-called "invitation", Roy's first reaction was vigilance.

Although Mephisto is not a guy like Belial the King of Lies or Kil'jaeden the Deceiver, if you really think that the Lord of Hate can't lie, you are wrong, like Mephisto For such an old "devil", it is hard to say whether one of the ten sentences is true.

So Roy didn't plan to take up his topic at all, and said, "Which world I'm going to have my own plans, I won't bother you about that!"

What he said was not polite at all, but Mephisto was not at all annoyed, he still smiled kindly, and said: "Young man... As a new demon king, I call you a young man. Have you? After all, I only have the qualifications to boast."

"Where! You are more than just a senior?" Roy also smiled and said to the snake: "The name of Mephisto, the king of hatred, can make the abyss world shake for a while, you are too modest."

Mephisto waved his hand and sat back on his seat again, with the Civilization stick in front of him, and slowly said: "Osiris, you are a newly grown demon, so some situations in the abyss world may not be the same. I know too well, about tens of thousands of years ago, most of us demon kings still stayed in the abyss world. During that period, we fought each other and competed for territory. It was funny to say that at that time, the abyss world The war of 2000 is basically what our demon lords are fighting back and forth... not like now, only the demon lords are fighting."

"Oh?" Roy asked curiously, "Why is this happening?"

"There's no way..." Mephisto sighed: "Because in the Middle Ages, although the gate of the abyss was also connected to the world, the world at that time was not as much as it is now, and it can even be said to be pitiful. At that time, once you go to other worlds, you will basically meet angels. As soon as the two sides meet, they will fight to the death and you will not be able to avoid it. Although the eternal battle is like this, it will be the same if the time is too long. Tired, not only our demons, but also the angels, so over time, the two sides have formed some tacit understanding with each other, that is, the demon kings and the archangels do not easily go to these eternal battlefields, just let their subordinates Demons and angels fight on their own."

"Then... why was the tacit understanding broken later?" Roy asked.

The reason why he asked this is that Roy also knows that in the bottom world of the abyss, it is difficult to see the shadows of the demon kings. This is naturally the demon kings going to other worlds.

"It's because of the explosion of species!" Mephisto said a word that surprised Roy, and in his surprised eyes, Mephisto explained with a smile: "To be precise, it's been since human beings. After the birth began, this tacit understanding was broken."

"Really?" Roy rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Mephisto smiled and said: "As you imagine, the human soul has a huge attraction for demons and angels, so when the intelligent species of human beings was born, the tacit understanding was broken! But... ...this is just one of them!"

"There are other reasons?" Roy looked at him.

The expression on Mephisto's face became a little strange, he reached out and stroked his meticulously combed hair, and said, "There is another reason, that is, we have found that since the birth of mankind, whether it is the gate of the abyss or the At the gate of heaven, the number of worlds that can be connected has suddenly increased, as if... as if these worlds were born with the birth of human beings, especially with the continuous development of human intelligence, some more wisdom Races have also begun to appear gradually, and the number of Myriad Realms has also increased with each passing day. Especially in the past one or two thousand years, this growth rate has reached its highest peak. Even the ancients of us can't tell how many worlds exist now. ."

Mephisto paused, and then said something that surprised Roy,

He said: "Out of curiosity, we also tried to study the human group, and then we found an amazing fact that with the growth of human imagination, it will lead to the emergence of additional parallel worlds!"

"..." Roy looked at Mephisto with a stunned expression. He never thought that Mephisto would come to such an astonishing conclusion.

When he went to other worlds before and discovered characters and worldviews that he was familiar with, Roy once suspected that the so-called Wanjie was simply a world imagined by human beings, but these worlds were more realistic He thought that maybe only he knew about this matter, but he didn't expect that old monsters like Mephisto had already discovered this!

This really caught Roy by surprise.

"Surprised, right? But looking at your expression, you seem to have discovered some truth, don't you?" Mephisto looked at Roy with a smile, and said, "So, when you discovered this, it was a What kind of thinking? Is there a kind of thinking like 'Will we all live in a certain book'?"

This time, Roy nodded directly, he did have such an idea.

"It's not just you, we old guys have also had similar thoughts!" Mephisto sighed: "This is a desperate conclusion, whether it is for angels or demons, once It almost drove us crazy, so we broke our tacit understanding and started desperately going to other worlds where we could go, trying to find the truth."

"What's the result?" Roy asked nervously.

"The result?" Mephisto glanced at him, with a playful expression on his face, and said, "The result is... we are all wrong!"

"Ha!?" Roy couldn't get it right.

"The growth and appearance of all worlds is indeed related to human imagination!" Mephisto looked at Roy's distorted expression amusingly and explained, "But it is not as we guessed, we live in a certain In a two-dimensional world, in fact, it should be said that human imagination is indeed the origin of all worlds, but once these worlds appear, they will in turn reflect human imagination!"

"Wait, what does this mean? Why am I a little confused? What does it mean to reflect the human imagination in turn?" Roy quickly asked.

Mephisto leaned back in the seat, raised a finger and said: "For example, if a human being, he has an imagination, imagined a bizarre story fragment, and this imagined story Fragments, which he pondered over and over again, and even shared with others, so that more people know and are familiar with them, then this kind of cluster consciousness may affect the will of the void, so that a and this story fragment will be born in the void related world, but such a newly born world is real, and will start to evolve on its own with the source point, that is, the story fragment as the benchmark, and this evolution will in turn generate disturbances, making it known The human being in the story fragment further perfects his imagination! But by this time, the human imagination has completely turned into a fiction, and the world of real evolution is there, but it has nothing to do with the human imagination..."

"...And such a statement!?" Roy felt even more confused. He seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand at all.

Mephisto paused, letting Roy slow down, and then continued: "Don't underestimate this conclusion, in fact, in order to understand the truth, we old guys will create clones because of this to reduce strength. At the same time, they entered many worlds to investigate, and as a result, the clones with independent personalities were no longer willing to return, because the clones believed that they were also real individuals... Well, it's a bit too far, I don't know if you have any If you have observed human activities, or have you seen the widely circulated literary and artistic works born in the human world, you must know that the existence of many worlds can be found in their literary and artistic works, but after our research, we found that, These worlds are not static, and human intervention may cause the evolution of these worlds to go in another direction, instead of continuing to follow the plot development in literary and artistic works!"

Hearing this, Roy suddenly understood. Indeed, he had noticed this before, such as Van Helsing's world. It is said that Van Helsing died, and Gabriel's soul fragment was also picked up by him. This is not at all. It conforms to the plot he knows, but the problem is that the world still exists, and it did not die because of it. The world of Heroes is similar. Because of his appearance, the familiar plot has long been changed beyond recognition, but Silas, the original The dark messiah that should exist is still alive and well in the abyss world...

This should be what Mephisto said, the world is actually the reason why it exists and evolves itself...

"The world is real, and so are we!" Mephisto saw what Roy was thinking, and said, "There is no doubt about this, although it feels a little strange, but I think it should be some kind of deep meaning of the creator, it's just us It’s just incomprehensible. Lucifer Michael and the first generation of demons and angels worshiped the Creator deeply, so I always wanted to find the Creator and ask him to understand, but I didn’t have this idea. I’m a demon, I think as long as you are yourself role is enough.”

"It's not wrong to think so!" Roy nodded.

"Then, here comes the question, as a demon, what should my role be like?" Mephisto narrowed his eyes, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

"...Destroy the world?" Roy tilted his head and looked at him.

"Yes, I am the spirit of perpetual denial! As long as everything comes into being, it is a matter of course that it will be destroyed, so it is better that nothing happens. Humans and angels call this destruction, crime, and in short, 'evil', But this is the attribute of my essence." Mephisto opened his hands and said, "This is also the essence of a demon!"

"Then you are here to invite me to accompany you to destroy the world?" Roy asked amusingly: "With all due respect, Mephisto, the great king of hatred, shouldn't borrow the hands of others for this kind of thing? "

"This..." There was a hint of hesitation on Mephisto's face, but he finally said: "Because I... encountered a problem, a huge problem... This problem is even a bit beyond my control... …”
