Floss was in a bad mood.
As a devil, even if he was a senior devil, he had to learn to obey the orders of his superiors. So when he received the mission to spread the plague near the Windspear Hills, Floss felt terrible. Because this mission was planned by the higher-ups of the Baator Inferno, and the purpose was to weaken the power of the material plane. It would be best if the priests of the churches of the gods were exhausted. The mission location was assigned by the higher-ups. Floss felt that he must have not handed in enough souls during this time, so he was sent to a place like the Windspear Hills by his superiors.
This place was not terrible.
But the terrible thing was the god in charge of this place!
The God of Shadows, Søren!
This was a famous god killer in the multiverse. First, he killed the God of the Hunt, Malar, and then he killed the God of Shadows. The name of this existence had long been spread throughout the Baator Inferno, so how could Floss not know of his existence? So when he knew that the mission location was within the range of this lord's religion, Floss was a little depressed. But the rules of the Baator Inferno meant that there were some missions that could not be avoided. So after thinking for a long time, Floss decided to avoid other places in the Windspear Hills and just deal with it in a random corner. He would kill some mortals and collect souls, and then fool his superiors in hell.
But!
Floss never thought that Søren would notice such a small action and catch him on the spot.
As a high and mighty god, Søren was a little different from the other gods.
That was, the other gods had existed for a long time, and they had long been indifferent to the life and death of mortals. It was more like a number to them.
But Søren was different.
After all, he had not been a god for a long time, and the education he received had determined that he cared more about the life and death of mortals than the other gods.
If other gods knew that all the mortals in a village were dead, they would at most send their internal church to check it out. This was the same even for the gods of the good alignment. Even the God of Light, who represented the lawful good, would not make a big fuss over the deaths of all the mortals in the village. However, this was completely different for Søren. After learning that all the mortals in the village had died, he decided to come over personally.
That was the tragedy of Floss.
He believed that a god like Søren wouldn't care about the lives of hundreds of mortals, let alone solve these problems himself.
But reality gave him a merciless blow.
Not only did Søren attach great importance to this matter, he even personally came to check it out.
Then.
Then, without a doubt, Floss knelt on the spot.
Under such circumstances, what else could he do but kneel on the spot? He was facing a mid-level god, and a notorious god slayer. His opponent used the power of divinity to seal his escape spell, and there was also a high priest standing beside him. Floss didn't have the slightest chance of winning, and if he hesitated, he would be killed by Søren on the spot.
Although Søren was a god of the evil alignment, he didn't care about the mortals of the evil alignment.
However, he could not remain indifferent to the deaths of hundreds of innocent civilians in the area of his faith. If the Abyss Fiend did not kneel on the spot, perhaps he would consider killing him directly. But since the Abyss Fiend was so sensible, he had other uses for Søren.
Although the Abyss Fiend was a demon of the Baator Inferno, his genes came from the Abyss.
The Tanar 'ri Demons and the Barthez Demons, although these two races were at odds with each other, their origin was the same, and that was the Abyss Worm.
The Abyss Worm was one of the most important currencies in the lower planes.
Demons loved to herd, herd, and sell the Abyss Worms. Whether it was the demons of the Baator Inferno or the Abyss, they could use the Abyss Worm to evolve into low-ranked demons and low-ranked demons.
The Abyss Fiend was born from the genes of the Balor Demons. (Note: It's a Balor, not a Flame Balor.)
"Tell me your true name."
Søren's figure disappeared from where he was and appeared in front of the Abyss Fiend, "Swear the Styx and tell me everything you know."
"Then I'll spare your life."
A high-ranked Abyss Fiend had many uses, because they were usually the direct subordinates of the Archdevils of the Baator Inferno. Such high-grade demons generally had a certain degree of freedom. What Soran wanted to do was to deprive them of their freedom and directly turn them into his own slaves. All evil gods were good at this, because no matter if they were in the Baator Inferno or the Abyss, they all liked to recruit high-ranked demons and devils as their subordinates.
In the Dread Lord's Divine Kingdom, there were many demons and devils as his servants.
In the face of Soran, a mid-level divine power, Flos had no choice. So he simply told Soran his real name, and then let Soran leave the mark of the evil god on his soul.
He was done for!
Once the Mark of the Evil God was planted, it was very difficult to remove it. Unless it was the Lord of Hell, Asmodeus, other Archdevils would not be able to remove it.
This was because he was a mid-ranked evil god.
Just like how Søren couldn't erase the Soul Imprint left by the Succubus Queen on the Fallen Witch Calina, this kind of power that involved the soul was the most difficult to remove. Even the gods sometimes couldn't do anything about it.
"You stay here and purify this land."
After Søren completed the mark, he turned to the high priest and said, "Tell the Church's Inquisition to pay attention to the movements of the devils. Don't let the plague spread to the Windspear Hills."
After that, Søren turned to the Abyss Fiend Flos and said, "Come with me to the city of Modor."
"I have an important task for you."
"As long as you can do it well, I won't be stingy with the rewards. I can even give you a part of the power of divinity. I will let you gain the power and status you deserve in my Divine Kingdom. "
"But!"
"If you dare to play tricks on me, I don't suggest that I extract your soul and study it!"
At this point, Søren's voice became cold.
It was easy to deal with the devils.
The creatures of the Lawful Evil Alignment had their own rules of conduct. When dealing with the devils, they always had to remember one thing, and that was to 'coerce' them!
Power and power were what they desired.
The Baator Inferno had a strict hierarchy. It was more difficult for the devils to be promoted than the devils. Søren had to promise them enough benefits and tell them the consequences of going against him.
The devils were very smart.
Generally, very smart people would know what to do in this situation!
