Chapter 576 The Bottomless Abyss
"...That's all I know."
What happened next was that the crystal that imprisoned her was broken by consultant Florrick, and Lulu and Nohill met, and they have been together until now after going through that hell trip together.
Lulu sobbed and wiped her tears with her trunk, but after her tears ran away, she forcibly cheered up, incited her wings to fly again, turned her head to the side, and looked at Nohir with hopeful eyes.
Now that she has recovered her past memories, she also knows why Nohir came, and understands that he is looking for a way to turn Zariel back into an angel. How can this not give her hope?
Lulu had witnessed Nohir's legendary experience with her own eyes. After recovering her past memories, her knowledge had greatly improved. At such a close distance, she could clearly feel Nohir's body. There is a very huge power hidden underneath.
And that feeling even gave Lulu the illusion that the former Zariel was by her side. At this time, Lulu completely understood that after that trip to hell, until today, Nohir's strength was... There has been no decline at all. On the contrary, after this period of precipitation, his power has reached a more terrifying level! The body also faintly exudes a feeling that only divinity can give people.
Lulu knew that Nohir had already embarked on those mythical paths that only existed in legends, and had gained an extremely powerful power, even comparable to that of Zariel. Therefore, even though time has passed so far, it even seems to be far away. Everything has become a foregone conclusion, but Lulu still has not given up hope in her heart!
If it was Nohir, if it was Nohir now! He must be able to find a way to save Zariel! Can she return to Heaven Mountain! Return to the path of justice and holiness, kindness and mercy!
Nohir felt the fiery gaze of the little guy next to him, and he responded with a positive smile. In response to this expectation, Lulu, who has a simple and kind nature, immediately let out a cheerful elephant cry!
No matter who makes the promise, as long as the person who makes the promise is trusted by Lulu, she will not doubt any word of that person. This is Lulu's nature, otherwise she will not be like the other angels. Even if he disagreed, he resolutely followed Zariel into hell. Nohir's past good deeds were enough to make Lulu trust him unconditionally, not to mention that he now helped Lulu recover her memory. .
But looking at Lulu who was in joy in front of him, as if he was sure that he would successfully rescue Zariel, Nohir couldn't help but start to use the information provided by Lulu to deduce the truth of the war that year, that is, Zariel The truth of the fall,
Although even Lulu herself had not witnessed Zariel's fall with her own eyes, the information she provided was actually enough. With many details already completed, Nohir herself gradually became more familiar with that situation. The truth of this war is almost certain.
'Half of an angel... Zariel's sword... I think I understand. ’
The key information was put forward from the information provided by Lulu, and Nohill also made a bold guess.
'If my guess is right, Zariel should have died once in that war, but not long after Zariel's death, Asmodeus, the Lord of Hell, found an opportunity to suddenly intervene. , resurrecting Zariel. ’
'I actually had this speculation a long time ago, but at that time I thought that after Asmodeus resurrected Zariel, he used persuasion to make Zariel voluntarily become a devil, but now it seems that it is true. Not so. ’
'As for the angels on Heaven Mountain, I don't know much about the nature of their power and promotion methods, but since Lulu said that the nature of angels, the so-called soul spark, can actually be cut as much as divinity, and before she was defeated, He actually took the initiative to divide half of the soul spark. Does this mean that there will be a vacancy in Zariel's soul? ’
Nohill thinks this is very likely.
'If Zariel really has a vacancy in the soul because of this, then Asmodeus probably has a lot to do. After all, the devil in hell is the most familiar with the soul in the entire crystal wall system. The master of manipulation, and Asmodeus is the legendary King of Demons and the supreme ruler of the Nine Hells. If he takes this opportunity to resurrect Zariel in advance, and uses some kind of method to resurrect her, I don’t know. Know how to use the power of hell to completely repair Zariel's missing soul spark...'
"... Then it's certain that Zariel will become a devil. No matter how reluctant she is, even the nature of her soul has been modified..."
"Pfft~?"
Lulu made a confused sound at the side, and the sound brought Nohir back to his senses. He turned to look at Lulu, and a generally feasible idea gradually emerged in his mind.
"It's okay, I just thought of a possible way to restore Zariel to his original state."
Nohir first repeated all his guesses to Lulu. As a friend who has been following Zariel since countless thousands of years ago, her brain is filled with all kinds of knowledge, and With Lulu's knowledge, he can also determine whether his guess is correct. As long as Lulu can be sure that the devil in hell has that ability and can use the power of hell to fill the angel's incomplete soul in some way, then he If you come up with that method, it will probably work 80% of the time.
Noshir told Lulu all his guesses, and Lulu's reaction also made Noshir sure that the devil did have this ability. In this case.
"I already have an idea in my mind, so our first step is to go back to the lower plane to find the sword that Zariel lost, because the sword stores Zariel's angelic essence. If you want her to return to normal, then this sword is indispensable anyway."
"However, considering the information you provided, the sword is likely to have been taken back to the bottomless abyss by the pet of the King of Gnolls, the strange thing named Kalokoktok, so we may have to cross hell, go to the abyss first, kill the monster, and then take the sword out of his stomach."
Lulu nodded very clearly, agreeing with Noshir's statement, but then seemed to realize something, so she shook her head quickly again.
"Then... that... I... can we really do it? That's the territory of those demon lords. Can we really take the sword out of the mouth of the pet of the Gnoll King under his nose? No, let's not talk about whether we can get the sword from his mouth. Just say that so much time has passed. It's hard to say whether the sword is still in the stomach of that monster..."
"Don't worry, Lulu."
Noshier suddenly stretched out his hands to catch the little guy.
"Because no matter where the sword is now, even if the thing has been eaten as a snack by the so-called Gnoll King, I can tear open his mouth and take the thing out of his stomach again."
