Chapter 118: Alien Witch Sonya, Hell Demon Lawrence
Chapter 118: Alien Witch Sonya, Hell Demon Lawrence
"Sonya, I believe this is the first time we've met in the twenty-seven years I've been serving in Ackerman Town," Lawrence said, his tone tinged with a strange edge as he looked at the massive Alien Queen before him.
"Lawrence? I didn't expect you to have also defected to Hell," a withered face emerged from the Alien Queen's chest, revealing none other than the Hell Witch Sonya.
The Alien had indeed burst from Sonya's body, but that didn't mean she was dead. Instead, she used witchcraft to possess the Alien Queen's body and gradually took control, eventually unifying the entire Hell Alien group under her command.
Flames continuously rose from Lawrence's body, transforming him into a massive demon. His bat-like wings flapped gently as he stared directly at Sonya.
"Let's work together. I need the Book of Death from Hell, and all the evil spirits will be yours!" Lawrence stated his terms outright.
Lawrence was an ambitious man. Defecting to Hell was merely a temporary move; what he truly desired was the Book of Death.
Compared to other terrifying entities in Hell, the Book of Death was the least menacing of the Hell Lords. It was just a book, and even if it possessed intelligence, it was still just a book.
Once all the evil spirits in Hell were eliminated, the rest wouldn't be a significant problem.
"Why should I cooperate with you? My offspring will kill the priest and his Red-Cloak followers, and the evil spirits and the Book of Death will be mine," Sonya said greedily, but Lawrence knew there was room for negotiation.
If Sonya truly didn't want to talk, she would have attacked already instead of speaking.
"Without me, you can't open the seal on the entrance to Hell," Lawrence exuded a hellish aura as he pointed out his advantage.
Sonya could indeed summon evil spirits through witchcraft, but the cost was too high. Summoning all the evil spirits from Hell would require witchcraft materials and souls far beyond her capabilities.
By opening the seal on the entrance to Hell, Lawrence could save Sonya a significant amount of witchcraft materials.
Although Sonya had become an Alien Queen, she was still a witch—transformed from a Hell Witch to an Alien Witch. This transformation allowed her to strengthen the Alien population and consciously hunt serial killers and terrifying monsters.
Even without her human form, her current body was far stronger than before. She had not only escaped her frail human body but also deeply integrated Hell's power. The Alien Queen had absorbed the genetic traits from her original body, enhancing her witchcraft and Hell power far beyond her previous capabilities.
"I need to transcribe all the knowledge from the Book of Death," Sonya said after a moment of silence. She indeed couldn't open the seal on the entrance to Hell, which was created by the Hell Church and the Church together.
The Hell Church was backed by the Hell King Leviathan, and the Church was shrouded in mystery. To this day, no one knew which Hell King, or even multiple Hell Kings, the Church had allied with.
Otherwise, how could they keep the Hell Church in check?
She remembered the Red-Cloak followers entering the part of Hell where the Book of Death was located, after which Hell was sealed.
"Agreed. Before that, your offspring must spread enough fear. Only fear can weaken the seal, and then I will use witchcraft to remove the seal on the entrance to Hell," Lawrence didn't hide his demands and spoke openly.
Sonya didn't ask how to remove the seal, knowing that even if she did, Lawrence wouldn't tell her. The method to remove the seal likely involved Lawrence's secrets.
After defecting to Hell and transforming into a demon, Lawrence's power had surged, and he possessed extremely peculiar mobility. Sonya had no confidence in killing him.
Now, Sonya was like a queen ant, dragging a massive ovipositor larger than her own body, making movement extremely difficult. Unless she separated from the ovipositor, she might have a chance to fight, but time didn't allow for that.
Separating from the ovipositor wasn't something she could do immediately; it required time, and that time would likely be enough for Lawrence to kill her.
So, this "cooperation" was more of a mutual coercion. Lawrence had the power to kill Sonya, and Sonya had offspring that could ensure Lawrence's demise.
As the Alien Queen, Sonya's true reliance was no longer on witchcraft and curses but on her vast number of Alien offspring.
"Alright, I will have my offspring spread fear within Ackerman Town."
"But how long, or to what extent?"
Sonya naturally couldn't endlessly arrange for her offspring to spread fear; for her, this was an intolerable situation. If it was for the Book of Death and the evil spirits in Hell, spending three to five days was acceptable, but if it took longer, she would rather leave Ackerman Town. After all, other life forms could also serve as hosts besides these terrifying monsters.
Once her Alien offspring had multiplied enough, she wouldn't have to worry about lifting the seal. At that time, she could directly attack the Hell Church and the Church to obtain the method to remove the seal.
"Causing widespread panic, three days will be enough." Lawrence was unaware of Sonya's thoughts, but even if he knew, he would only have given a disdainful smile. A power that had existed for thousands of years, with its influence extending into every industry, hid strengths far beyond what Sonya, a witch hiding in the countryside, could fathom.
Just the intelligence Lawrence had gathered over the years was enough to confirm that the Hell Church contained many ascetic monks with Hell power, and there might even be ancient monsters that had survived for thousands of years lurking in the depths. Not to mention the Church, which had an even longer history.
A single Death's Book Hell could send a hundred Red-Cloak followers, which was enough to show their wealth and power. Sonya probably thought these Red-Cloak followers and Hell preachers were the backbone of the Church and the Hell Church, but to Lawrence, they were likely just peripheral forces.
He had never seen the Red-Cloak followers and Hell preachers, but he had heard of their combat abilities, and the two factions had more than just these ascetic monks. Therefore, even with his current strength, he dared not act openly, instead acting like a rat in the sewers, secretly.
He even came to Sonya to use her as a scapegoat and a scapegoat. Yes, otherwise, why would he cooperate with Sonya? Once Ackerman Town fell and the Hell entrance was unsealed, it would definitely alarm the Hell Church and the Church. They didn't care about a few deaths; they cared about the Hell entrance.
Originally, he had found a scapegoat, the new Andrew priest, but various twists and turns led to the current situation, so he had to turn to Sonya. Fortunately, Sonya had also had a stroke of luck, transforming into an insect demon. As long as the aftermath was handled well, Lawrence didn't have to worry about being held accountable afterward. Once he obtained the Book of Death, Sonya could help him draw attention and fire, making his escape plan smoother.
As for being held accountable later? That would be another matter. How could such a risky endeavor be without risks, especially since he had taken the Book of Death? The Church and the Hell Church wouldn't let him off so easily.
Fortunately, he had been planning for decades and had a corresponding escape plan.
Once he mastered all the contents of the Book of Death, it would be his time to rule the world. At that time, even a behemoth like the Church wouldn't scare him.
Of course, he was scared now, because his goal had not yet been achieved. Lawrence naturally wouldn't show any arrogance or arrogance until he truly ruled the world. Now, if he were to act arrogantly, it would be no different from courting death. In terms of mindset, Lawrence was quite pragmatic. He had already waited for decades and didn't mind waiting a bit longer.
"Alright, then three days. I will have my offspring spread fear throughout Ackerman Town, but you need to take care of the priest in the church." Sonya thought for a moment, confirmed the cooperation, but also proposed a new condition.
"Haha, why should I do these meaningless things? Once the Hell entrance is unsealed, it will be their end. If I go and kill them now, what if it alerts the Church?" Lawrence found a reason to refuse, knowing that Qin Muye had a harbinger by his side. If he were to just kill them, it wouldn't be him killing them but him being killed.
