Running A Cemetery in North America-Chapter 370 - 248: Hell Demon King, Lucifer

"You’re not ordinary, huh? You noticed me so quickly."

The door to the conference room suddenly opened automatically, and a young man holding a cola walked in. It was Sun Yan.

"Looking at you, you should know who I am. Who sent you here to the Evil God Council? Was it Arthur or Luna?"

Raymond stood up from his chair and strode towards Sun Yan.

His appearance began to change continuously; his hair color turned blood-red, and a lump swelled on his forehead, from which black horns grew.

"Demon Bloodline, it really is true," Sun Yan thought to himself.

Arthur had mentioned to him before that the Speaker’s family had a long inheritance and had demon blood in their veins, seemingly connected to Hell.

At this moment, it seemed Arthur’s words were true. Sun Yan indeed sensed the presence of Hell Demon in this person.

Being able to breed offspring with a demon, this strength is naturally not weak.

Perhaps he could even harness the power from Hell. It’s not for no reason that he can maintain his position as the Speaker of the Evil God Council.

"There’s no need to ask so many questions," Sun Yan put down the cola, and a Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade appeared in his hand out of thin air.

Since choosing to take action, there’s no reason for useless words.

"I’ll let you know the consequences of offending me. I have a thousand ways to extract the answers I need from your mouth."

Raymond leaped, and at some unknown moment, his legs had turned into goat hooves, and he punched directly towards Sun Yan’s face.

Before the fist arrived, the wind from the punch had already blown the conference room’s table apart, creating numerous indentations on the ground due to the wind.

Seeing Raymond’s fist getting closer, Sun Yan didn’t dodge. He just reached out a hand and easily caught Raymond’s fist.

"Honestly, you’re too weak," Sun Yan said calmly.

With every completion of a dirty work, his strength keeps increasing. Now, unless a Divine Spirit arrives, no one could possibly be Sun Yan’s match.

Arthur couldn’t have imagined what kind of being he was cooperating with during this visit.

It must be said, his cooperation is guaranteed to be profitable.

Because Sun Yan truly can fulfill the promises made to him.

"How... how is this possible!" Raymond’s eyes widened.

As the heir of the family, he knew very well the immense power hidden within his bloodline.

As a half-human, half-demon, Raymond had confidence that even if he encountered a real demon, they wouldn’t be his match.

Relying on the power of Demon Bloodline, he had been holding the position of Speaker, and even Li Mian and Keynes, the two Speakers, dared not easily become his enemies.

But now, in this moment.

His power couldn’t exert its expected might in front of Sun Yan.

Crack!

Sun Yan made a move and directly broke Raymond’s arm. With just a slight move, Raymond’s broken arm bones pierced through his skin.

Green blood flowed from his wound and dripped onto the ground.

"Demon Bloodline is not simple, even the blood color is green."

Sun Yan nodded in agreement, casually throwing Raymond’s body against the wall.

"Ah! Someone, hurry up! Where are the bodyguards!"

Seeing Raymond tortured so miserably, the female secretary finally reacted, desperately shouting in fear.

"Shut up! Fool, if he could walk in through the door, do you think those bodyguards are still alive?"

Raymond spat out a mouthful of green blood, his whole body trembling, "It’s been a long time since anyone could push me to this extent. I must admit your power is strong, able to threaten me with death, but it ends there."

"I will definitely chop you, and the one who ordered you here, to pieces and feed them to the dogs!"

Raymond said with hatred and anger, his body boiling at this moment, emitting a large amount of black smoke that floated upwards.

The ceiling was quickly dyed black, and a white Hexagram pattern stood out prominently within it.

"Save me! Come quickly and save me! Great ancestor, I need your help!"

With Raymond’s cries, the Hexagram suddenly reacted.

A powerful aura that even made Sun Yan feel a bit apprehensive emanated from the Hexagram Array, spreading throughout the conference room.

Instantly, black streaks resembling veins appeared on the once snow-white walls.

Subsequently, black feathers floated out of the Hexagram; as they touched the ground, the floor tiles quietly ignited with black flames.

"Such a powerful aura, comparable to a Divine Spirit," Sun Yan thought, frowning.

The fact that the Raymond Clan can maintain their position as the first Speaker of the Evil God Council shows they have a trump card. It’s definitely not as simple as Arthur suggested, just having some Demon Bloodline in their body.

For a being of the Speaker’s level, secrets known to others are never the true secrets.

"I never expected that after all these years, someone could still summon my arrival from Hell."

A pair of pallid legs descended from the Hexagram, wrapped in numerous iron chains, covering parts of the body like clothing.

As soon as they touched the ground, six black wings unfurled with a resounding authority.

"This is... a Six-Winged Angel?" Sun Yan was taken aback, suddenly recalling a figure.

In Hell, there is only one black Six-Winged Angel, the legendary Fallen Angel Lucifer.

Raymond actually summoned this figure from Hell!

The Bible does not mention that Lucifer was once an Angel, nor does it state that Lucifer is Satan.

The true origin of this name is the Roman mythological God of the Morning Star ’Lucife’, with ’Morning Star’ in the Book of Isaiah referring to the King of Babylon, later translated into ’Lucifer’ through Latin conversion.

This name was used in the Latin Vulgate and the King James Version of the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 14, Verse 12, though the original Hebrew Isaiah does not contain the name Lucifer.

In later legends, it often refers to the Devil Satan before being cast out of Heaven, and over time, Lucifer became one of Satan’s aliases.

Hence, some might mistakenly think Satan’s name is Lucifer Morning Star, which is inaccurate.

Dante’s "Divine Comedy" mentions how God created the world, and all things should submit to God. The Angels surrounded God in Heaven, receiving and executing his decrees, assisting in managing the world, and singing his praises. Lucifer was once God’s Six-Winged Blazing Angel, the most beautiful and noble among the Angels, assisting and accompanying God, day after day, year after year. There was no dissent, no doubt, no war.

One day, God looked upon all in order and decided to create a new, unique being, thus he made the ancestor of mankind—Adam, in his own image, placing him in the Eden Garden to live freely. God took Adam to the temple, crowned him as the ’Messiah’, and gathered all the Angels, commanding them to bow before Adam, to respect and honor him.

Michael and other Angels, holding their reverence for God, obediently followed orders, one by one. But Lucifer hesitated. Angels already had no freedom; they could not lose their dignity and pride. Faced with Michael’s kind advice, Lucifer tactfully refused: "I have served God for thousands of years. In terms of achievements, I am above Adam; as a Six-Winged Blazing Angel, second only to God, in terms of status, I am above Adam; I am the fire within the fire, in terms of origin, I am above Adam; I hold unparalleled power, in terms of strength, I am above Adam... Why should I bow to him?"

In front of Adam, Lucifer decisively refused to bow, and the Angels behind him also refused to kneel to Adam. Facing the defiant Six-Winged Blazing Angel, God once again decreed, hoping Lucifer would obey the command. Before God, Lucifer disobeyed. He could not abandon his pride, or relinquish the dignity of Angels, nor could he stop his jealousy of Adam, who was favored by God for no reason. More importantly, he longed for the right to act on his own, yearned to touch freedom, and did not want his brothers and sisters to kneel before a human.

Ultimately, Lucifer forsook his faith in God, leading his Angels to the Nine Heavens, looking up at God, dispelling inner apprehension and fear, straightening his back, spreading the great wings behind him, and declared war on God. God commanded the Angel Commander Michael to lead the Angel Corps in battle, Gabriel sounded the horn, and the once inseparable brothers clashed with swords and knives. Angels could not withstand God’s might, and Lucifer was defeated. God created Hell, casting him and his followers from Heaven into Hell.

It was then that Lucifer uttered the earth-shattering words: "Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven." From the Nine Heavens to the lowest depths of Hell, Lucifer fell over nine dusks and dawns, becoming the Demon King, and his followers became Demons.

Thus, Lucifer became one of the most famous Demon Kings of Hell.

This one is absolutely a top-tier Divine Spirit, incomparable to the likes of Beelzebub.

And at this moment, under Raymond’s summons, Lucifer descended from Hell.

A more than three-meter-tall Six-Winged Angel emerged fully from the Hexagram.

As his toes touched the ground, the entire conference room was instantly sealed with chains, and an invisible aura completely enclosed this place, preventing any creature from escaping.

"Great ancestor! I am the descendant of the Raymond Clan that carries your bloodline, please help me kill this guy," Raymond shouted excitedly as he saw Lucifer’s arrival.

Long flowing hair, having absorbed too much negative energy from being in Hell for too long, the angelic face was now covered with red veins like worms, appearing extremely hideous and odious.

Dark pupils gazed at Sun Yan, and Sun Yan instantly felt a massive invisible force oppressing his body, as if wanting to bend his knees and make him kneel before this Demon King from Hell.

"You possess a very powerful force, but it has not yet reached its peak state, what a pity."

"If given the time to grow, perhaps you would become an existence that even I would fear, but now that I have encountered you prematurely, you will no longer have this opportunity."

Lucifer’s icy voice carried a chilling intent to kill, echoing like a judgment.

"Mortal, I shall take away your life and grant you death!"
