Gabriel was somewhat surprised. Seeing that Fang Yuan could restrain Mammon, she had expected a great battle, but she didn't expect him to be dealt with so easily.
But she wasn't too shocked; it wasn't yet an era where Superheroes were everywhere, and humans were still very weak in her eyes.
Gabriel placed Isabel's body on the ground. After a few light taps, Isabel's skin turned pitch black, and a faint demonic energy surged up.
Then she took out the lance of longinus and stabbed down without hesitation. However, in Fang Yuan's perception, just as the tip of the spear was about to touch Isabel's body, time around them suddenly froze.
Drip, drop.
In the silent scene, the sound of dripping water suddenly echoed. If Fang Yuan had opened his eyes, he would have seen pitch-like black viscous matter falling onto the floor, and then a man in a white suit appeared out of thin air.
He appeared as a middle-aged Caucasian man with vertical black stripes from his neck down to his feet.
Like Gabriel, he was also barefoot. It seemed these deities weren't having an easy time either. (Laughs)
But unlike Gabriel, Lucifer was much more unrestrained and bohemian.
"Hello, John," he hummed a little tune as he walked toward Constantine.
"Why did you take so long to get here?"
To his surprise, Constantine actually said that.
Satan was quite surprised. "Did you know I built a massive demon-themed park for you? Are you really that eager?"
Constantine felt a surge of panic. A demon-themed park?
A massive one?
It sounded intense just hearing about it.
Constantine immediately wanted a cigarette to calm his nerves, but after putting one in his mouth, he couldn't get it to light no matter what.
"Mmh, a ticket to Hell." Lucifer looked at the cigarette with great affection; without those things, he really wouldn't have been able to get Constantine's soul so quickly.
So, he took the initiative to pick up the lighter.
"If you cut too deep, you'll sever the tendons, and your fingers won't be able to apply pressure." He gave Constantine a medical lesson and then kindly lit the cigarette for him.
Constantine unlocked an achievement—Lit by Satan.
Lucifer found a chair and sat down, saying with a grin, "I really didn't expect you to make the same mistake twice."
He was referring to when Constantine had nearly died as a child and wandered in Hell for two minutes, an experience that made him swear never to go to Hell again.
That was also why he later became an Exorcist, hoping to use it as proof to get into Heaven after he died.
"Tsk, tsk."
Lucifer suddenly realized something. "You wouldn't, would you?"
Constantine took a drag of his cigarette and asked as if making small talk, "How's the family?"
Satan immediately put the reason for Constantine's suicide out of his mind; he only cared that he could get the soul.
"They're fine," Lucifer said, swaying his head. "Just busy as hell, I need a vacation."
Constantine understood that the vacation Lucifer spoke of definitely involved tormenting him.
But at this moment, he wasn't thinking about the afterlife anymore; he only wanted to save the World.
So he cut straight to the point: "I heard your son is just like you?"
"It's in his nature," Satan said very proudly.
"He's right next door," Constantine said suddenly.
Lucifer pursed his lips. "Boys will be boys."
A demon coming to the mortal realm for a bit of fun didn't bother him.
But Constantine followed up with, "He's with Gabriel."
Lucifer's smile faded slightly. "It seems our tastes are Worlds apart."
He looked like a parent from Fang Yuan's past life hearing that their child was hanging out with a bad kid.
But the surprises Constantine had in store didn't end there.
"They have the Spear of Destiny."
Now Lucifer was truly surprised.
The Spear of Destiny was the lance of longinus. As Satan, he naturally knew what the combination of Mammon and the lance of longinus could achieve.
The "Dark Bible" was a prophecy written by a Psychic, not to mention the addition of Gabriel, an Angel.
Obviously, this wasn't just a case of a bratty kid running out to cause trouble; it was his own son rebelling and trying to replace him.
"They have the Spear of Destiny?" he repeated Constantine's words.
Lucifer leaned in close to Constantine, trying to use intimidation to make him slip up.
"What tricks are you playing now?"
But Constantine was undaunted. He jerked his chin forward. "They're right behind you. See for yourself."
Lucifer turned back to look, and indeed, his eyes were full of surprise.
Only then did he realize why Constantine had committed suicide to summon him.
Lucifer stood up, took two steps forward, and then suddenly turned back to ask, "So, you're just standing there watching?"
Constantine was bewildered.
What do you mean I'm just watching? I've already slit my wrists, what more do you want from me?
But Fang Yuan understood that Satan was speaking to him.
As expected, in front of such a powerhouse, his little secret of not being affected by the time stop had been discovered.
"Cough, cough."
Fang Yuan simply climbed to his feet and brushed the dust off his clothes.
(゜-゜)
Constantine looked over just like that, saying nothing, yet it was as if he had said everything.
"Why are you looking at me?" Fang Yuan spread his hands. "You're the one who called him here."
Constantine: "%￥#...&*@!"
But just as he opened his mouth, Fang Yuan covered his ears, so only Satan heard Constantine's roar.
"Oh... hiss..."
Satan's expression shifted repeatedly; clearly, what Constantine said was quite remarkable.
When Constantine grew tired of cursing, Fang Yuan lowered his hands. "Sorry, I didn't catch that."
Constantine had been screwed over by him, so it was normal to be emotional. Fang Yuan simply chose not to listen.
Constantine let out a heavy sigh. Fang Yuan's thick skin was far beyond his imagination, so he simply gave up.
"Clap, clap, clap!"
However, Lucifer found it very amusing and immediately began to applaud.
"Splendid, interesting!"
Although he didn't know who Fang Yuan was, Satan felt that Fang Yuan was exactly his type.
Moreover, he felt a sense of familiarity the moment he saw Fang Yuan.
[Dark Affinity] had finally attracted darkness itself.
"Who are you?" he asked with interest.
"Fang Yuan. Friends in the underworld also call me the Black King," Fang Yuan introduced himself.
He was quite relaxed; even facing Satan, the most powerful being he had encountered to date, he wasn't nervous.
As for the reason—
"Claim reward!"
Back when Satan and Constantine were talking, Fang Yuan had summoned his panel in his mind to enter the time-stop state for claiming rewards, finding that Satan's movements were also frozen.
This meant he could still slip away at any time.
"Black King?"
Lucifer said with a faint smile, "Very fitting. Constantine is truly lucky to have met you!"
Constantine's face darkened even more.
"If it weren't for your... peculiar methods," Lucifer's fingers twitched, "I would really want to take you to Hell and open a theme park for you too!"
"Lou!" Constantine said through gritted teeth. "Please, by all means, make good on that promise!"
