Chapter 151: The Truth Of The Past (4)
"The Seven Great Demons. Led by Lightbringer himself. Betrayal and imprisonment. None can defeat him, and so it is impossible to take his place. Therefore, an agreement was made among the remaining six."
Immediately after uttering these words, the disgusting expression on Beelzebub’s face gave way to astonishment. Atlas continued his speech:
"The 12 Main Archangels. Led by the Sword of Heaven himself. Betrayal and imprisonment. None can defeat him, and therefore it is impossible to take his place. One of the 12 has been imprisoned, three have hidden themselves in the most secret place in heaven to rescue the imprisoned one. The remaining 8 have made a deal."
After these words, Atlas turned his face toward Beelzebub, and as the smile on his face grew wider, he spoke these words:
"A war on the physical world. The heads of the world’s heroes are war spoils. Those who hunt the strongest and most important will rise to the top of the rankings. This is an agreement that must exist forever to replace the Lightbringer and the Sword of Heaven. And there is a rule for the heads to be valid."
He fell silent, then raised the knife in his hand to his throat and spoke these words:
"Even if the heads are not separated from the bodies and the heroes are granted an honourable death, the heroes must still declare their defeat to the necessary demon or angel... Great Beelzebub, do you think I don’t know how valuable I am? That my head is more valuable than nearly every person who has ever lived in this world? If you release everyone and swear that no harm will come to them, I swear on my life! MY HEAD IS YOURS!!!"
The look of astonishment on Beelzebub’s face vanished instantly after hearing these words. Even the Great Devil, the symbol of greed, could not help but respect the man before him, whether unwillingly or not.
"Very well, as you wish. I accept the duel to the death, and I swear on my name, my honour, and my very existence that no one you value will ever be harmed by another demon or angel," Beelzebub said suddenly.
