Difficult decision

-Chapter 155: Difficult decision-

"You better talk, I wouldn't want to waste my time right now."

Har looked at Mephisto and frowned, this guy seems to act like a fucking bastard even in this state.

He then looked into the distance, where some demons were looking in his direction in dismay of him, these guys will be the next to die.

Despite being sent by Lilith to capture humans, the development of recent events made them stop curiously, they didn't expect that someone at the demon lord level like Lilith would be defeated, now they are trembling in fear seeing Har in the sky, because even with their perception of magical power they couldn't find Lilith anywhere.

"What are you going to do? Are you planning to take me out to face me again? Hahahahahaha!"

Mephisto laughed like a madman, despite acting like a troublemaker, his intentions are clear, to annoy Har and try to get him to let him out of the glass bottle, it really is unfortunate to end up like this, he has no way to get out of here without him Har open the seal.

If he can't get out, he believes that this guy would have all of his subordinates locked away from him before long, by then, all of his proud demon race would become history.

"Hmm…"

Listening to Mephisto, Har finally realized this as well, he has no way to force Mephisto to blurt out the information while he's inside the bottle, it's already amazing enough to be able to talk to him, it didn't seem like the original Maffuba would allow this or even see the sealed person.

It is thanks to the Maffuba+ that he can use any jar to capture his opponents, so using a glass jar he can see them, as for why he can hear their voices, that must be because the bottle is open, it's just sealed by power of the captured enemy and the sound should still be able to come out, I hadn't paid too much attention to this either, but this Maffuba+ seems much more useful and versatile than the regular Maffuba.

'Do I really have no ways to torture him?'-Har felt this was to Mephisto's advantage, as if the Maffuba were protecting the sealed entities, so he took the vial and began to shake it a little angrily.

"Ah, stop for once, ah, aaaah, I'm going to kill you!!"

Mephisto, who was deprived of his freedom before, was now deprived of his rights and was treated like an insect, despite trying to fly he couldn't help but crash again and again against the walls of this prison.

In the end, Mephisto just insulted Har constantly without answering his questions, so he gave the vial a quick shake and then returned it to the inventory.

"I can't get any information from Mephisto unless he tortures him in some way, but letting him out is not an option."

Har knew that he would get nowhere just by shaking the vial, even though Mephisto was deprived of his authority and power, he should still have an even more resilient body than the other demons, so hitting the glass really shouldn't be able to hurt him. much damage.

Since it's like this, Har looked at the vial in his left hand, Lilith had fallen to the ground and her blood stopped flowing, still, her injuries weren't recovering in the slightest, as if the state of her body would remain the same as it was. as it entered forever as long as it remains within the seal.

Again, Har wondered if this ability didn't play into his opponent's favor more, it seems that they can live a quiet life while imprisoned inside the jar, their life will be preserved unchanged, so the time inside the seal seems to be paused. even though the little ants inside are still capable of disturbing.

Isn't this a bit miraculous? He can seal someone with their days numbered and they will be able to live forever, even though he will be locked in a jar, he will still be able to watch the world unfold until the end of time.

But obviously he can also use this to his advantage to torture his opponents, like Lilith for example, it seems that she will be forced to remain as a terrifying monster in a pitiful state for all eternity, also, he wondered something else, what if seal someone poisoned?, surely he will suffer forever or something.

Back on topic, since Mephisto refuses to cooperate, he can still unleash this demon in his left hand and force it to respond.

"But there are things I need to take care of first..."

With these words, Har put the vial into the inventory and disappeared.

"Again I have to save your life, it seems as if you were destined to die today."

Soon after, Har took out a regeneration potion and poured it into Peter Parker's mouth, he had not seen this boy in this place through the Shinigami sphere, but he became aware of his presence by feeling the power of the frost demon. by his side.

Right now Peter seems to have been seriously burned, obviously due to Har's own attacks, as for that frost demon, he was already at death's door when Har got here, so he just pierced his head with a sword and He got him out of suffering.

"Aunt May, Uncle Ben, I have to save them!"

When Peter regained consciousness, he widened his eyes in confusion and then jumped up from the ground and immediately stood up, not even thinking about the situation of him before he lost consciousness or the surrounding scene.

"Stay here, I don't want to have to save your life one more time, I'm not your personal doctor you know?"

Just as he was about to jump out of a crater he had been standing in, Peter stopped suddenly at the sound of a familiar voice. Turning around, he could see a demon-like creature that would scare anyone to death, but Peter was glad to see it. see him.

"Mr. Steve!"

Peter yelled as if he found the answer to his problems, it's because he knows how strong Steve is, so it's a relief to see him in this place.

"You should pay more attention around you."-Har said some words with hidden meaning, at the same time he took out a Shulker chest and placed it in front of him.

"Uh?, Aaah!!!"-Following Steve's words subconsciously, Peter was stunned when he lowered his head and noticed that he was naked, he immediately became embarrassed and covered himself with his hands.

"Take this, by the way, what happened to the items I gave you?"-Har took out a set of sportswear and tossed it to Peter, he didn't pay attention to his embarrassment and didn't really care, instead he noticed that he already He doesn't carry the immortality totem with him, moreover, all the other items disappeared without a trace.

"Ah, yes!"-Peter reacted and quickly held the clothes that Har handed him, he began to dress with a face full of embarrassment as he replied: "I drank the healing liquids to survive, as for the armor or the chest and the objects inside… they were gone when I woke up, I think they exploded to ashes."

Peter's embarrassment disappeared as he spoke, replaced by a straight face as he remembered how he was bombarded with explosions over and over again, although he doesn't know that he died long ago and is only alive thanks to the immortality totem, he still remembers how he opened the door. chest while his skin was burning, it was from taking the potions that he could last till the end, he even thinks he is alive now because of the potions.

'I should have explained the effect of the potions to him.'-Har felt like slapping his face hard upon hearing Peter's answer, it seems this boy drank all the potions at a critical time to increase his chances of survival, but this it's just wasteful, potion effects don't get better no matter how many you take at once, at most it will only reset the remaining time.

Regarding the totem of immortality, from Peter's words he can deduce that he faced a fatal attack, so it is possible that he has already died and that he does not know it, he does not know exactly since he did not see any of this, and he does not know. I would say it even if I knew, it is too shocking to receive the news that you have already died, but that a golden doll threw confetti on your corpse and you came back to life, if you tell this to others they would surely think you are crazy.

"Right Mr. Steve, we can't waste time, those demons are about to kill everyone!"

Peter's embarrassment completely disappeared and he cried out in worry, he almost forgot about Aunt May and the others are about to die.

"Don't worry, those guys are so scared they can't move, your relatives will be fine." Har said without concern and glanced at the flying demons in the distance, they were still looking in his direction with wide eyes and his teeth shaking.

Lilith's disappearance was attributed to Har, so these demons feel unprecedented danger, not even from Mephisto whom they dared not look at, after all, although Mephisto is absolutely powerful, he was still their superior and would not kill them, but Har is obviously different, he already demonstrated his intentions by destroying the army with one move and sending Lilith to nothing.

When an existence at the level of a demon lord suddenly appears, and has intent to kill them, the demons feel that the enormous pressure on them makes them tremble to the bone, they know very well, their chances of dying have already exceeded 100 %.

They can't escape, the other demon lords wouldn't have time to get here before they're all killed, perhaps, only Mephisto could save them if he decides to act personally, he could even open portals that connect to hell so everyone can escape, or even open portals so that other demon lords can come immediately, but since when would such an existence care about mere weak demons, it didn't even show up to save Lilith.

But, the demons looked at each other, maybe some of them can be saved if they fight this guy all together.

They don't know, while they were thinking about how to survive, Har on the other hand was thinking about whether he should kill them all or kidnap them in jars.

Anyway, he hasn't gained even a measly TP from slaying demons, even though it's the easiest method to kill them, he still thinks he could put them to other uses.

If he can really get these guys out of the third floor, then he thought of taking them to the Nether fortress on the first floor to farm warts, maybe they should thank him for that time since the "underworld" dimension of this floor seems to have collapsed, then just I would be taking them to a cozy new home in another hell.

He doesn't think they can go to other dimensions as long as he destroys the portals and locks them in, at most they will try to hide in the vast hell, but this is not the time to think so far ahead, now he just wants to create a collection of demons in his inventory.

"Mr. Steve, will you do it?"-Peter asked a little excited to see that Har began to fly.

"I would even if you didn't remind me, after all, I have the power to put an end to this tragic night, so it is my duty."

Har began to act like a hero, once he returned the shulker chest to his inventory, it began to rise with each flap of his wings, and it seemed to have a good result, because Peter had an admiring look on his face. hearing it.

Then, he seemed to have a divine revelation upon hearing Har's last words- "Remember Spider-Man, with great power... comes great responsibility."

After a dramatic pause and meeting Peter's glances, Har suddenly disappeared, leaving behind a burst of violet particles.

It's impossible for Har to know, but because of his speech just now he became Peter Parker's idol, maybe in another universe Spider-Man's idol is Ironman, but it turns out that the Peter of this time and space line seems to admire Batman instead.

Although Har hasn't killed all the demons in the world yet, Peter was confident that Steve could actually do it and save all of humanity, furthermore, hearing that Steve would bear the responsibility of facing all the demons in the world only made him sadder. made him reflect on himself.

Remembering how before he thought about using the citizens as bait in order to save his relatives, Peter looked at his hands and felt disappointed with himself, and Steve's last words were like the straw that broke the camel's back, "with great power comes great power." great responsibility", as if he finally understood these words, a strong sense of justice moved Spider-Man's heart and he clenched his fists renewed, a look of determination appeared on his face and the spirit of heroism was awakened in him, because of this A notification was heard in Har's mind.

Four hundred meters away, Har was about to stop draining the Vexes' vitality, which was heading towards them through the connecting thread, to increase his mana and use "Teleport" again, despite the fact that he was only 100 meters from the demons, he thought the faster the better, however.

Ding*

[Congratulations on discovering a new path and completing his quest as "Adventurer"]

[Do you wish to retire to the evaluation room?]

[-But-]

"Is it complete yet?"

Har was pleasantly surprised to hear the voice from the tower after so many nightmares so far, he didn't expect that he would finish his mission without killing all the demons, he really doesn't know which path was unlocked this time, but he has no intention of know now if you have to leave this floor for that, you still have a lot of things to do and you don't plan to waste the remaining time.

So, seeing the options in front of him, he didn't hesitate and pressed [No], he didn't expect that, in the next second, the tower would issue a notification that he had never heard before.

[Warning, staying on the third floor may change the current new side, do you still want to stay on the third floor?]

"I see."

Har understood almost immediately, it makes sense that continuing on the third floor could completely change the faction he had created, for example, if a new faction is created by gaining the trust of a gang, but you decide to continue on the floor and somehow you destroy your reputation, obviously the previous side will fall apart and you will become the scum of the gang or something.

But, thinking about it that way, it might be somewhat beneficial, i.e. while you're on the floor you still have a chance to unlock an even better side and possibly win bigger rewards, you'd just be risking everything you've done before.

'It's a tough decision to make..'

This made Har stop to think for a while, should he finish with the third floor now, or should he continue until he kills all the demons, by then he might unlock some sides along the way, or he might lose the side. and fail the mission, after all, you don't know the details of this new side, so you can't take exact precautions to keep it to the end.

It's like gambling, you can retreat now and secure an unknown side, or you can risk continuing to create a better one, but it may result in creating a worse one or you may even lose the mission somehow, if you're greedy you can lose everything.
