Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 166 Asmodeus

Heya's commotion instantly startled Agreed, who quickly broke free of his cultivation and arrived at Heya's side in the blink of an eye. The attacker was a beautiful woman who boldly remained standing in place. Only after repeatedly confirming that Heya was unharmed did Agreed unleash his overwhelming magical power to press down on the attacker.

However, the attack, which should have been enough to crush a demigod into dust, did not cause any harm to the woman. Upon seeing this, Agreed instantly withdrew his magic and exclaimed with some surprise, "You really are Asmodeus?! I never expected that the mighty Sin of Lust would come here and make such a fuss over a succubus."

Asmodeus asked with great interest in her captivating voice, "Oh~, how did you guess my identity?"

Agreed chuckled and said, "Among the demon lords, you are the only one whose avatar possesses strength far exceeding that of a demigod and is willing to stand up for the lustful demons. Do you even need to guess? I'm just surprised that a big shot like you would be willing to go to such lengths to come here. After all, it costs a huge amount of money for someone of your level to descend to the material world."

Asmodeus shouted coldly, "No matter how huge the cost, it's still not enough to compare to the loss of a succubus. Do you know how much damage the death of a high-ranking demon will cause to Hell?!"

Agreed waved his hand dismissively and said, "So what? It's just that your lustful demons' efforts over the past few centuries have been wasted. What does it have to do with me? If you dare to touch my people, you should think about your fate!"

Asmodeus roared, "You're asking for death!" In an instant, a soft whip appeared out of thin air in her hand and struck Agreed with unparalleled power. Agreed immediately used magic to send Hea away, drew the Supreme Sword, and began to fight Asmodeus.

The two exchanged blows. At first, Asmodeus used the length of his whip to force Agred to dodge. However, Agred quickly adapted to the rhythm of the attack, seized an opening, and instantly came close to Asmodeus. Asmodeus then used his whip to transform into a rope and unleashed a close-combat whip technique centered on binding, instantly counterattacking and binding Agred tightly.

Agreed was completely dumbfounded. Could this soft whip be used as a rope? As a skeleton, Agreed's weakness lay in his strength. Asmodeus's move completely controlled him. Moreover, Asmodeus's soft whip was actually a divine artifact manifested from the sin of lust. The whip could continuously erode and destroy anything it touched. Agreed had only been forced to dodge the attacks after being struck by the whip and realizing that his bones could not withstand its destructive power. But he never expected that getting closer would put him in even greater danger.

Fortunately, Agreed was a mage, not a warrior. He used the spell 'Spatial Cut' to temporarily tear off his restraints. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he unleashed hundreds of high-level spells at Asmodeus, knocking her back. At the same time, Agreed's 'Divine Restriction' spell, which he had been chanting using his 'Multitasking' talent, was ready. Although demon lords like Asmodeus could no longer be banished by their true names, the super-level spell 'Divine Restriction,' created by Tutankhamun himself, was specifically designed to target demon lords and those who worshipped gods.

Just as Agreed was about to send Asmodeus back to his hometown, Mammon suddenly appeared in front of the two and stopped them, saying, "Hey! You two, stop fighting! Asmodeus, what's wrong with you again? Didn't I tell you, this could be a deal? Why do you have to come and provoke him?"

Upon seeing that it was Mammon, Agreed temporarily withdrew his magic and questioned, "Did you tell her that the succubus died at my hands?"

Mammon turned to Agreed and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, friend, but I am a demon... Your killing of a high-ranking demon is a terrible thing for us, because you have the power to destroy us, so I have to report it."

Asmodeus shouted angrily, "Mammon, get out of my way! You traitor! He must die, or Hell will be destroyed by him sooner or later! Do you want this situation to get even more out of control?!"

Agreed sneered, then mocked, "Come on over if you dare! I'll send you back to your hometown right now, and one day I'll personally kill you!"

Mammon roared, "Enough! You two calm down and come with me to my place to talk, if you don't want to fight to the death." With that, Mammon opened a portal and went inside.

After a moment's thought, Agred followed Mammon inside, and Asmodeus had no choice but to follow as well.

A few minutes later, the three sat around a conference table. Asmodeus stared at Agreed with a murderous look, while Agreed sat there calmly, as if to say, "What can you do to me?"

Mammon then spoke up, “Since everyone has chosen to sit here, I think we should resolve this in a more civilized way. Mr. Agreed, you should be aware that the succubus you killed caused the Soul Sea to lose a lot of soul energy, so you must compensate us for our losses.”

Without wasting words, Agreed pulled out a crystal ball filled with souls and exclaimed proudly, "The soul power inside is no less than that of that succubus. You can take a count."

Asmodeus could no longer stand Agred's arrogant attitude and shouted angrily, "Show some respect, kid! How dare you be so cocky, you murderer!"

Agreed sneered, "If you cared about the lives of your men, you wouldn't be here talking 'business' with me. You're like a prostitute trying to have your cake and eat it too. What kind of logic is that?"

Mammon frowned again and scolded, "Asmodeus, stop bothering me while I'm doing business. I've made myself clear to you, we can't do anything to him in the Material World. He can expel us at any time. Don't do anything unnecessary."

Seeing this, Asmodeus had no choice but to shut her mouth and sulk to the side. As the leader of the sin of lust, she was no fool. She knew very well that even if the seven demon lords attacked together in the material world, the outcome would not change. It would simply be that Agreed could not kill the demon lords, and the demon lords could not kill Agreed.

Therefore, Mammon's plan was decided by all the demon lords. Asmodeus had already crossed the line by provoking Agreed to fight, and any further actions would definitely lead to his being attacked by the other six demon lords.

After reprimanding Asmodeus, Mammon continued to press Agreed, saying, "Friend, compensation alone is not enough. You must guarantee us that you will never kill demons again, only banish them. So... you must sign a soul contract and a curse contract with us. Otherwise, although demons cannot kill you, your subordinates and lovers are not as difficult to deal with as you are."

Agreed nodded in agreement: "Okay, then take out the contract you prepared. If I can accept the terms, then the deal is done."

Agreed knew he didn't have the time or resources to go against the demons. Now was not the time to take action against them, and he didn't have the means to do so. His previous actions were just to avoid showing weakness. So, his most important task now was to find a way to distance himself from the demons at the lowest possible cost.
