My dear, are we going to Hell?"
"No, we're going to Gotham. Lucifer is in the World."
"She? Lucifer is a woman!"
"Yes, and a very beautiful woman."
"My God!"
Outside the Lux bar, night enveloped the city of sin and mystery.
Qinuo pushed open the door and entered. The bar was dimly lit, filled with a mix of old wood and alcohol.
At the bar counter, Lucifer sat gracefully, holding a drink, a hint of playfulness in her eyes. The faint light spilled on her, outlining her alluring curves.
"Qinuo, you're here." Lucifer's voice was melodious and pleasant.
Qinuo walked over with Pamela, nodding slightly: "Lucifer, sorry to keep you waiting."
Pamela also looked at Lucifer with curiosity. She didn't have the terrifying appearance of a demon from legends; instead, she was breathtakingly beautiful. Her temperament was noble and cold, her features exquisitely perfect, and her figure graceful and lithe. Every part of her was impeccably flawless, making Pamela feel a little self-conscious.
Her gaze suddenly met Lucifer's.
"This is the lover you chose, the representative of the Green of All Things. Very good."
Lucifer saw through Pamela's origins at a glance, and then added: "But she can't compare to me. I'm clearly more beautiful."
"!!!"
Pamela's eyes widened in surprise. From the sound of it, Lucifer almost became her dear's partner. With that figure and face, even she, a woman, couldn't refuse.
"I refused because of you, and Pamela accepted because of me," Qinuo said, holding Pamela's hand.
Although Pamela didn't quite understand what her dear meant, it didn't stop her from happily hugging Qinuo and kissing him on the cheek.
"Tsk, getting my body isn't enough, you still want my heart. You're truly more greedy than the demons of Hell." Lucifer rolled her eyes charmingly, but a hint of imperceptible disappointment flickered in her gaze.
Previously, to avoid accidents, she hadn't used magic to control Qinuo, but that didn't mean she wouldn't use a man's physiological needs to control him.
Now, it seemed she had miscalculated.
Pamela, on the other hand, had given her body and heart to Qinuo because he wasn't afraid of the toxins on her, and so she fell in love with him.
"Pamela, am I very greedy?"
"Of course not, my dear."
The two of them couldn't help but show affection in front of Lucifer, and a sweet atmosphere permeated the air.
Lucifer frowned slightly and let out a soft hmph: "Enough, you two."
"Here, this is your reward."
Qinuo took the bracelet and asked, "What is this, Lucifer?"
"A Hell bracelet. You'll know when you put it on."
Qinuo put it on directly, and the bracelet instantly transformed into a pattern appearing on his wrist. Just then, a piece of information appeared in his mind, and with a wave of his hand, a black vortex appeared.
From the vortex came deep roars and sharp screeches, making one's hair stand on end.
Demons of various shapes emerged from it. Some were engulfed in raging Fire, the flames flickering as if to ignite the surrounding air; some were as massive as small mountains, each step making the ground tremble slightly; others were covered in sharp blades, glinting with a cold light, making one fearful.
Pamela watched the demons emerging from the vortex in horror, subconsciously leaning closer to Qinuo.
These demons came before Qinuo and knelt in homage.
"Greetings, Demon King!"
Qinuo looked at the demons before him; he could feel their lives were under his control.
"Lucifer, these are?"
"Demons of Hell. I used the origin of Hell to recreate a Hell.
These demons were all selected by me from Hell. There's basically every type. You don't need to manage them normally; just leave them in Hell. When needed, take them out as cannon fodder.
You don't need to feel bad if they die; these demons will resurrect in Hell after death."
Lucifer said casually, as if what she had given away was not Hell, but an insignificant toy.
"Thank you, Lucifer, I really like this gift." Qinuo looked at the array of demons before him. This wasn't all of them, just a small portion of the smaller ones.
"As long as you like it. Otherwise, if my Lucifer's body is unwanted and my gift is unwanted, that would be too embarrassing," Lucifer said with a hint of resentment.
"If we go to another World, Lucifer, and you come again, I won't refuse."
"Dream on, you. Regret? Too late."
As the two chatted, Pamela gradually stopped being afraid and observed the demons with curiosity. She really wanted to study these mythical demons.
"You all go back first. I will summon you if needed."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The demons rose and walked towards the portal.
"Wait, Qinuo, leave that demon behind."
Venom suddenly appeared, pointing at a demon.
Pamela's eyes widened. A black head suddenly emerged from her dear's body.
Normally, she would have screamed in fright, but after seeing various strange demons today, she seemed to have developed a stronger heart.
"You, stay here for now."
Following the direction of Venom's finger, Qinuo ordered it to stay.
The demons stopped in their tracks, looking enviously at the demon that walked out. They had displayed their abilities hoping to be appreciated by the Demon King.
"What are your commands, Demon King?"
That demon came forward and knelt.
This was a humanoid demon, its body and appearance constantly changing, with no fixed form.
"A shapeshifter demon. Its power is among the weakest in Hell, but relatively, it has very strong shapeshifting abilities and intelligence. When I ruled Hell before, I found several shapeshifter demons to manage Hell," Lucifer explained from the side.
"Venom, what do you want to do?"
"I'm very interested in her abilities. Let me copy them."
"You are not to resist."
Qinuo commanded the demon before him.
"Yes!"
The shapeshifter demon lowered its head, allowing Venom to invade its body.
After a while, Venom retracted its tentacles and reverted to its original suit form.
"Venom?"
"Don't bother me, I'm busy right now."
"Oh."
Qinuo responded somewhat aggrieved. Ever since coming to the DC World, Venom had been a bit strange.
"Interesting, very interesting."
Lucifer's eyes glowed with a golden light, and an inscrutable smile appeared on her face.
"What's your name?"
Venom ignored him, so Qinuo looked at the shapeshifter demon and asked.
Shapeshifter demon: "I have no name, Demon King."
"From today, your name is Xi, and you will be responsible for managing the demons of Hell."
A red rune appeared on Qinuo's finger and imprinted itself on Xi's forehead.
"Yes! Thank you, Demon King!"
Xi sensed that she now had the authority to control Hell within her body, and she was overjoyed.
She had only come to try her luck, and never expected to actually be appreciated by the Demon King.
