Slowly wriggling in the deepening shadow, a dark shadow grew out and solidified into two wrapped black wings.

The wings opened, revealing Anos’ light blond hair and blood-red eyes.

Luo Mi noticed that the demon lord in front of him had changed his clothes – he wore a white shirt and a black vest before, but now he wore a dark red dress decorated with various gold threads, which matched his jet-black wings, making him look flamboyant and wild.

Luo Mi coughed lightly: “I have something to discuss with you.”

The demon Anos said coldly: “It better be something important, otherwise you don’t want to know the consequences.”

Luo Mi knew that he should not offend the enemy too much, so he asked directly, “Are you pretending to be William II who came to St. Cecilia’s Cathedral today?”

The demon Anos glanced at him, neither confirming nor denying: “Why do you think so?”

Luo Mi felt relieved: “It’s my intuition, it felt like you.”

The demon Anos’ expression thawed slightly, and he snorted, “Pretty sharp.”

It’s true. Although Luo Mi had expected it, he still felt very strange: “Why are you pretending to be William II? Ah, if it’s not convenient to say it, then I am overstepping my authority.”

He was used to talking to the Holy Son Anos on an equal footing. So even if the person in front of him was a devil, he couldn’t help but forget the difference in status between them when he saw that familiar face.

The demon Anos didn’t care this time. He just walked to Luo Mi’s bed and sat down, and asked casually: “Guess?”

“Causing trouble for the Son of God?” Luo Mi guessed, and at the same time muttered in his heart: Isn’t it a bit too childish?

The demon Anos pulled the corner of his mouth without a smile: “Do you think I’m such a boring person?”

When it comes to this other self, it’s hard to say… Luo Mi rationally kept this sentence in his stomach and complimented: “How could it be, it’s just that my poor wisdom cannot understand the foresight of the Lord, so I hope you can give me some advice.”

Nice words were useful even in front of demon lords.

Although the demon Anos’ expression was still indifferent, he continued calmly: “Causing trouble to him is just a side effect. The main purpose is to use William II’s identity to find the ‘chosen one’ of the Principality of Perde.”

Luo Mi hadn’t heard this word for a long time, so much so that he was stunned for a moment before he reacted: “What do you want to find the Chosen One for?”

The demon Anos glanced at him with his bloodshot eyes and said coldly: “Of course, send them to another world, what else?”

Luo Mi still remembered that he had a false title of God’s Chosen One, and immediately shrank his neck: “Why do you want to kill God’s Chosen One?”

“It has nothing to do with you.” The demon Anos seemed to see Luo Mi’s fear and sneered, “I know that you, the Chosen One, are a fake, although I don’t know how you deceived him.”

Luo Mi asked tentatively: “Is there anything wrong with the Chosen One? Do they also possess the divinity of God like the Son of God?”

“No, the Chosen Ones are just ordinary people.” The demon Anos replied, “But they are the eyes and ears of God, monitoring everything in this world on behalf of God. If we don’t cut off God’s gaze, we can’t solve the end of the world.”

Luo Mi felt a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt it was expected: “Are there really gods and doomsday?”

According to the original setting, the final boss of this book was the evil Anos, and the protagonist was the one who fought against Anos. The god believed in by the Church had always been a background board and had never been mentioned.

But the demon Anos said with great confidence: “God exists. If God exists, then Doomsday also exists. Although I don’t know where he is, he will always appear.”

When mentioning God, the demon Anos’ tone was tinged with murderous intent.

When Luo Mi asked again, the demon Anos glared at him slightly and said, “This matter has nothing to do with you – you called me out just for this?”

“Well, not just that.” Luo Mi stopped while he was ahead and brought the topic back to what he cared about most.

He told the demon Anos that both the two kings of the Principality of Perde secretly worshipped the angel “Divine Wisdom”, and then asked: “Could this ‘Divine Wisdom’ be you?”

This was the conclusion Luo Mi came to after carefully thinking about the various strange but real connections between the Principality of Perde and the Black Wing Lord.

The Black Winged Lord and the Son of God were originally one. Since the Son of God was an angel on earth sent by God, it was not unlikely that he was the Divine Wisdom.

The demon Anos crossed his legs and suddenly laughed: “You mean, I was once a lackey of the hypocritical god?”

Luo Mi then realized that he seemed to have touched the reverse scale of the demon Anos, and quickly made up for it: “What I mean is, maybe the object of George II’s prayer is pointing to you or something…”

The demon Anos waited for Luo Mi to patch up for a long time, then said with a smile: “This possibility cannot be ruled out.”

Luo Mi was stunned.

“Although I don’t want to admit it, my existence was created by God.” The demon Anos changed his posture, and a look of dissatisfaction flashed across his handsome face. “I may have been an angel under God in the past. It is possible that the ‘Divine Wisdom’ also existed, but I just don’t remember it.”

“Don’t remember?”

“Because I’m incomplete.” The demon Anos tapped his forehead and suddenly raised the corner of his lips. “If you are willing to help me kill him, maybe I will remember it.”

Luo Mi pretended not to understand: “So what is recorded in the Book of Joshua is true? God and angels once had concrete images?”

“Only those idiots in the Vatican truly believe that God is omniscient and omnipotent.” The devil Anos sneered.

Luo Mi planned to find the Book of Joshua and read it carefully tomorrow.

The demon Anos had returned to his previous cold appearance: “Nothing else?”

Luo Mi shook his head: “No, thank you so much-eh?”

He looked up, dazed by the shadow cast by the demon Anos.

The Black Wing Lord, who seemed to have grown taller, spoke in an unexpectedly gentle voice: “You called me out just to ask these trivial questions?”

What’s so insignificant about it? It’s very important, okay! Luo Mi complained inwardly and laughed dryly, and suddenly said smartly: “Actually, I just want to admire your glory a little more… Uh!”

His mouth was suddenly pinched by two well-proportioned fingers, and he could not utter the following words.

The demon Anos leaned down, his forehead almost touching Luo Mi’s, his eyes surging with red water, and his tone was cold: “You haven’t controlled your magic power yet, right? If you don’t want to be killed by me, you’d better not meet me.”

Ah? Luo Mi was caught off guard, and instinctively his stomach gurgled first, then he felt his stomach and other organs contract, and finally his face blushed dully – what was the connection between them?

“You have been using charm magic on him these days to train yourself, right?” The demon Anos narrowed his eyes. “Do you think he is immune to charm magic, or that the charm magic is effective, but not on him?”

Luo Mi: “…”

After the demon Anos let him go, he rubbed his painful face, walked away carefully, and muttered, “You can find another succubus, such as Susan…”

The devil Anos turned around and glanced at him – Luo Mi’s hair stood on end and a chill ran down his spine!

Then the dangerous Black Wing Lord snorted coldly, turned into a shadow again and disappeared.

Luo Mi was stunned for a moment, wiped the sweat from his forehead, exhaled lightly, and after a moment he suddenly realized and said to himself: “Is he shy?”

According to his stereotype, shouldn’t a demon lord, especially one with many succubi under his command, be the kind who revels every night?

The system quietly interrupted:

[In the original novel, there is no such description of the Son of God after he turned evil, and he seems to be a pure careerist.]

“There are already so many differences from the original.” Luo Mi couldn’t help rolling his eyes, “The original book also said that there are no gods——”

He paused suddenly.

Luo Mi then took a deep breath and said, “System, is it possible that God does exist but has not appeared yet?”

The system said in confusion:

[It’s only been a few years since the original novel began. Is there anything else that hasn’t appeared yet?]

Luo Mi said: “Yes, the protagonist of the original novel.”

[……? ]

“It’s possible. For example, God is at the bottom of his power and needs to reincarnate. Because of the reincarnation, the angels who were supposed to be loyal to him betrayed him during this period…” Luo Mi fantasized for a long time before saying regretfully, “It’s a pity that there is no way to verify it.”

[Host, don’t forget, our mission has nothing to do with this.]

Luo Mi responded perfunctorily: “I have to go ask Reinhardt for the book. He hasn’t given me the previous Demonology book yet.”

….

This time Reinhardt was quite efficient and found both books for Luo Mi in one go.

Luo Mi sat in the living room and opened the book on demonology in front of the mechanical butler “Ark No. 2”: “Read it yourself.”

The system operating Ark No. 2: “…”

Luo Mi was immersed in the Book of Joshua.

He had no interest in the boring books of the Church, but this thin book did not record the sacred and grand words of God, but some daily descriptions, especially the possibility of Anos in the past, which allowed Luo Mi to successfully hold on and not fall asleep.

The brother of Joshua who wrote the “Book of Joshua” did not leave his name. From the letter they could only know that he was responsible for cooking and guarding in the tribe at that time, so he had more contact with God and the two angels.

In his simple descriptions, God had a gentle attitude and looked at everyone as if he were his own child. When they were short of something, he often created something directly to meet the needs of the group. It was precisely because of these descriptions that “The Book of Joshua” had not been completely identified as a forgery or heresy.

At that time, there were two angels beside God, the one on the left was “Divine Wisdom” and the one on the right was “Divine Heart”.

The book described that “Divine Wisdom” was closer to God, had a more cheerful personality, and walked around curiously like a newborn baby; while “Divine Heart” was more stable, and most of the time just followed God in silence, and rarely communicated with God.

“These two angels are so down-to-earth.” Luo Mi couldn’t help but sigh when he saw that the letter also mentioned that the two angels had different taste preferences in food.

Unfortunately, the content of “The Book to Joshua” was not much. After all, it was just a collection of letters written to Joshua. There was no more information for Luo Mi to guess whether Anos might be one of the two angels and which one he was.

The “Divine Wisdom” secretly worshipped by the Principality of Perde, Luo Mi felt like a big child no matter how he looked at him. Not only was he rough, but he was also a bit careless. Even the author implicitly thought that this angel was “stupid” and it was difficult to associate him with the current Anos.

“But it’s hard to say. After all, Anos wet the bed when he was a child. Maybe he was just stupid before?”

After Luo Mi said this, he suddenly looked towards the door alertly.

As expected, the door creaked open soon, and Anos walked in. Seeing Luo Mi staring at him, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed: “How did you know I was here?”

This is my talent. When I say something bad, I will definitely hit the person involved… Luo Mi complained to himself in his heart, and then asked with concern: “Have you convinced that Bishop Maanulla?”

Anos shook his head: “Not yet. Once the pious people believe that what they do is God’s revelation, it is difficult to change their inherent thinking.”

Luo Mi thought so too.

“You should do your training today.” Anos talked about his business with Luo Mi, “I have a vague feeling that something bad might happen recently. It will be better for your safety if you master your magic as soon as possible, so increase the amount of training today.”

Ah? Luo Mi pulled the corner of his mouth and laughed dryly: “I’m afraid you can’t hold on.”

Anos laughed: “I’m immune to magic, don’t worry.”

You are immune because someone is carrying the burden for you… Luo Mi muttered silently in his heart, thinking of the turbulent waves surging in the blood-red eyes of the demon Anos last night, and couldn’t help touching his stomach.

This weight might soon fall on him… Could this be the bad thing that Anos had foreseen?
