The Death Knell

Belasco was once a human being, and his experience of becoming the Lord of Hell was somewhat similar to that of Dormammu, who were once humans on Earth.

He was first famous in a long poem by the poet Dante, although some people have questioned this. They are not sure whether Belasco is included in the poem. After all, there are too many demons in the "Divine Comedy".

According to records, the sorcerer Velasco lived in Florence, Italy in the 13th century. With his knowledge of alchemy and black arts, he accidentally contacted the ancient gods. He was impressed by the terrifying power and negotiated a condition with them to bring the people of the earth to Able to summon ancient gods and old rulers through magic circles and special rituals...

The matter was disturbed by the fledgling Ancient One at the time, but the blind and ignorant Ancient God had no concept of being angry or disappointed. Instead, they gave Velasco immense energy, transforming him from an ordinary wizard at the neighborhood level to Instantly elevated to the level of Heavenly Father.

It's just that the properties of these energies are desolation and destruction, and the sorcerers are also distorted by this power, turning into a new demon race, the terrestrial demon, a monster formed by the combination of humans and ancient dark forces.

Velasco was overjoyed to have gained endless lifespan. According to the guidance of the ancient gods, he found the lost Pangea. With the help of the ancient gods, he severed the concept of Pangea from the earth and formed a new hell plane. This is Limbo.

The power of the ancient gods spreads wantonly in the limbo of hell. The most common monsters there are all kinds of indescribable tentacle creatures. The rest are Belasco's cultists, some weirdos who have been distorted by the energy.

Belasco is still conducting research on the ancient gods. In the endless whispers and nightmares, different ancient gods have turned Belasco's brain into a pot of porridge.

In this crazy state, Velasco called it Chaos Inspiration. He just followed the method provided by the ancient god and messed around, and he really came up with something incredible.

Using bloodstone as the main material, adding a lot of extra-dimensional materials, and unknown spells and rituals, he created the 'bloodstone'.

This kind of thing can be combined with human flesh and blood, granting strength while transforming into alien monsters, and producing powerful monsters in batches.

First, he implanted one into himself. Although he was already a monster and did not mutate again, this move made him even crazier. His sanity was affected a lot. For example, he sometimes imagined that he was a giant. Dragon, go to Earth to snatch the princess or something...

He is also the only one among all the hell lords who carries the name of a rapist. He was influenced by an unknown ancient god for a while, and he was very obsessed with having offspring with female humans.

Those women all died due to dystocia, and normal humans could not give birth to demons alive.

After trying dozens of times, Velasco found that these hybrids were not strong, on the contrary, they became very weak because of the hybridity, so he gave up this approach and killed all these weaklings.

After that, he still put his hope of becoming stronger in the ancient gods, and constantly tried to contact the previously unknown ancient gods to obtain more abilities.

At the same time, he began to use blood stones to transform humans, hoping to cultivate his own 'banshee', and Mysterio was a test subject.

If you count the ancient gods behind him, his power is second to none among the hell lords. It is a pity that most of the ancient gods will always be in the blindness of chaos.

Not only will they give Velasco strength, they will also trap him to death.

Belasco has been spinning in a strange circle for hundreds of years, performing rituals - being killed by the ancient gods or gaining new powers - resurrecting - preparing new rituals.

As an Earthling, his desire to return home has always been strong, and the frequency of invading Earth is also very high.

But his record was not very good. The first invasion was defeated by Dante, a poet, and the blood stone was destroyed.

The second time he created a new blood stone and invaded again, but was defeated by Ka Zar. Zar was also an ordinary person, equivalent to the Marvel version of Tarzan, except that he was raised by tigers.

The third time was Cable traveling through time and space, the fourth and fifth time were all the X-Men messing around with the timeline, and then he would lose to Ultron, Mysterio...

Yes, although he was once a magician, he did not like to fight with other magicians. His relationship with the magic world was aloof and neutral.

He is the best wielder of two-handed battle axes among the hell lords. He has a lot of black magic and energy radiation methods, but he can't remember to use them, so he likes to use the ax to kill people.

Balder was able to escape from him because he did not use the lord's ability and authority. Instead, he raced against the God of Light and failed to catch up.

He did not use hell abilities to search his own plane. Instead, he chose to send out an army to hunt down Balder using primitive means, so Balder could hide and seek for hundreds of years.

If it were Lao Mo, relying on the lord's control over the laws of his own hell, he could directly teleport Balder in front of him.

But Velasco doesn't use this method. There are many times when his behavior is incomprehensible to normal people, not even other hell lords.

............

The current action plan is to find a way to get the God of Light out of the border of hell and let him deal with the big snake. Su Ming knows that the prophecy of Ragnarok will be fulfilled on Thor, but others don't know.

In the prophecy, the serpent will die together with Odin's son. Strictly speaking, Balder is the eldest son, the biological son of Odin and Frigga. It is enough to save the God of Light and scare people.

If Balder really confronts Orochi, he will die again, but what does that have to do with Su Ming?

He just needs to ensure that Ragnarok will happen normally in the future without endangering the Earth and Vanaheim. Temporarily scaring off the serpent is also a solution. Didn't Odin do the same with sealing methods in the past?

The problem of Orochi seems to be the condition negotiated between Su Ming and Odin. In fact, Ancient One is the real employer. Even if Odin doesn't give up, Su Ming still has to deal with Orochi in order to ensure the safety of the earth.

The key is that Gu Yi is too generous. Su Ming doesn't dare to accept her reward, Kama Taj, the Time Stone, the position of Supreme Mage...

I can only get some benefits from Odin and see if I can sell one product to two families.

But he said a total of five sentences to Odin, three of which were tests, but Odin's reaction was not normal. As more and more clues were obtained, Su Ming noticed more and more things that were wrong.

Something about the past was wrong.

I can’t say exactly, but it feels like when Kang the Conqueror intervenes, there are always some details that look rough...

Therefore, Su Ming judged that there might be a time traveler in the Golden Palace, or even a traveler from another world. There would always be errors in the revised timeline.

But this time was different. He felt as if there was a conspiracy directed at him.

After all, Su Ming also traveled to several other places during the day in Asgard. At present, Asgard's defenses are complete and its military strength is sufficient, even if there is no need to recall Valkyrie.

So why did the Mothers of the Gods make the decision to recall before? Apart from attracting the attention of Su Ming and Gao Tianzun, there is no benefit...

There must be a motive for a person to take action. Brynhildr told him that the total recall was because the mothers of the gods saw an omen, but after understanding the situation, Su Ming found that this move was not necessary at all.

This means that their motives are unknown, and at least one of Frigga, Qitong, and Gaia has lied.

But just pay attention to this matter in secret. On the surface, you have to act relaxed and not pay attention to anything. The usual tactic is to cover yourself up with a cynical attitude and hide in the darkness...

"Limbo, is there a way to take us there?"

It only took a short moment to think, and even the mage and Gin didn't notice that a hoarse voice came out from under the mask of the death knell.

This question is for mages. It leads to the hell plane. If there are no space gems at hand, magic is an easier method to use.

Although alchemy and certain technologies would also work, now that Monaco is here, there is no need to do two things at once.

He himself is not a real mage, otherwise if he knew the space network node connection leading to the edge of hell, it would be faster to use the magic floating cloak to get there.

Unfortunately, the transmission of space node coordinates is a technology for observers, and ordinary people cannot understand it at all.

Monaco rubbed his face vigorously. He was a little worried that Heimdall would notice something strange. There seemed to be no problem at the moment, but the longer it was exposed in his field of vision, the more troublesome it would be.

So the mage did not hesitate, endured the bloating and headache and started to cast the spell again. It was still a magic circle arranged with blood, but this time the spell was accompanied by some strange body movements, like making an arch with the belly turned upward.

Gin glanced at the boss and puffed out her mouth and blew. She had been worried that Monaco's big belly would explode due to such an action.

However, there was no bloody scene and the portal opened smoothly.

"Come together."

After Su Ming finished speaking, he not only led the two of them, but also the eight-legged Pegasus into the portal.

The Pegasus, known as Xiao Ba, was full of resistance, but after being slapped twice by the God Killer, it found a familiar feeling, as if it understood what had happened before, and followed meekly through the door.

Limbo is a barren place, literally, not a blade of grass on the ground.

Mephisto's hell at least still has some dark dead trees and branches, Hela's hell also has death spore flowers, and this side is endless khaki.

The ground and sky are all yellow, dotted with some huge black rocks. Deathstroke's armor has become a protective color here.

It's like arriving at the Grand Canyon in Colorado, USA. There are terraced cliffs everywhere, as well as countless caves and tunnels.

These tunnels are drilled by a giant insect here, and humans can pass through them. They are very spacious.

But if you encounter those bugs in the tunnel, you will find that this giant worm moves faster than a train in the cave. The entire head has only one big mouth, and the layers of teeth inside are like petals.

It was with the help of these tunnels that Balder mastered tunnel warfare techniques without any teacher, and Velasco's army just couldn't catch him.

So the question is, is it darker if you go into the sewer? Or are the tunnels dug by worms darker?

The God of Light has lived in the tunnel system for hundreds of years. Not to mention the cramped and claustrophobic environment, a life with no one to communicate with and constant pursuit of soldiers is enough to drive anyone crazy.

Not to mention the forced-choice question of either being eaten by bugs or eating bugs.

If you don’t want to eat the corpse of a demon here, then your food choices are either worms or various tentacle monsters, and they have to be eaten raw, because there is no water source in any hell. Even if the Asa protoss has a super strong physique, food and drinking water are still necessary.

Blood is a very good drink, not only can it replenish electrolytes, but it is also quite nutritious, but it can easily lead to mental illness and parasitic diseases.

So Su Ming was a little worried. What if Balder was in a crazy state?

In the comics, it was the witch Amora who found him. Her ability has a miraculous effect on men, and if the God of Light is really crazy, pretending to be Odin will have no effect.
