American comics: To become a god at the beginning, I choose to practice both science and magic

"Portia, I came to you this time because I have something to ask you." Constantine had no intention of talking nonsense with the other party.

The demon named "Portia" had a snake-like head, staring at Constantine with vertical pupils, and the snake's tongue revealed amazing greed.

"John, you know the rules. If you want something, you have to pay something. Have you thought about what you want to pay?"

Constantine nodded calmly and lit a cigarette as if no one was around: "I have prepared a gift for you, just as your reward."

"What?"

"How is your life?"

Portia attacked instantly, its snake-like mouth opened, and the corners of its mouth opened and closed nearly 180 degrees, but except for the fangs, there were no other teeth.

Only a fishy smell came to his face.

But Constantine was still very calm until Portia rushed to him and suddenly stopped.

Of course, it was not that he wanted to stop, but there was an invisible force that imprisoned it.

"Portia, seriously, you should do oral management, it stinks."

Constantine took two steps back, as if he was smoked by the other party's breath, then he snapped his fingers, and Portia's body suddenly fell backwards and hit the floor directly.

It wanted to get up, but it seemed like a mountain was pressing on its body, making it difficult to stand up.

"You...what did you do to me?"

"This 310 miles is a magical place, Portia, this is called the Mysterious House, I can control everything here with my mind."

He held the half-smoked cigarette between his two fingers, and then pressed the spark on Portia's snake head.

This temperature had no effect on the devil, but it was very insulting, and Portia's two ping-pong-like vertical pupils flashed with vicious light.

"No wonder you didn't use any magic to restrict my behavior. It turns out you have such a good thing..."

When a general sorcerer summons a demon, he must set restrictions on the summoned demon in advance so that the other party cannot harm the summoner.

After all, demons are generally stronger than summoners. Even wizards with profound magic power can be easily killed by close demons when caught off guard. It is very necessary to keep a hand.

But Portia didn't feel the restrictions when she was summoned. She thought Constantine was careless, but she didn't expect that the other party had other ways to restrain it.

"Let's make things simple. You tell me what I want to know, and I promise that you will return to hell safely in a while. How about it?"

"Deal."

Constantine nodded with satisfaction: "Did something happen in hell?"

Portia's eyes flashed, and she didn't answer immediately. I don't know what she was thinking.

"I advise you not to lie to me. It's just mind reading. I can do it too. Although it costs a little, the price you have to pay will be greater than mine."

Portia suddenly turned off theThe lying heart honestly told Constantine about the recent situation in hell.

"What? Did you say that Satan in hell disappeared, or all three?" Constantine frowned, not expecting such a big thing.

"Now because Satan's position is vacant, the power vacuum in hell needs someone to fill it, so the capable lords are fighting each other, and there are battlefields everywhere.

But this is a good thing for us middle and lower-level demons." Portia spit out the snake tongue and sucked it back.

"Without Satan's control, we don't have to hand over most of our gains in the human world, so many demons are willing to give up some of their interests to humans."

In the past, when any demon in hell made a deal with humans, Satan could extract most of the benefits from the demons' gains by virtue of his position, so Satan didn't need to work as hard as the demons to complete the contract.

However, as the ruler of the demons, Satan's greed is the most greedy among all the demons. Most of the profits that the middle and lower demons have worked hard to earn from the human world have been taken away by Satan, leaving very little.

This also forces these demons to try their best to manipulate the contents of the contract and use behaviors that damage their reputation to earn more benefits for themselves.

The demons are not fools, of course they know the principle of slow and steady.

The humans who can arrange the summoning ceremony are either ignorant or vicious, or stupid. In any case, as long as the desires of these humans are satisfied, they are very likely to summon again.

If humans can profit from the ritual of summoning demons for a long time, then they are likely to become dependent on this method. The demons will have a group of regular customers and can continuously cut leeks from the "old customers". Why should they exhaust the pond to catch fish!

It's not that they don't want to do this, but it's really Satan's exploitation that makes them unable to do so.

In order to get the most out of each appearance, the demons had to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs to complete the contract, so their reputation became worse and worse.

But now that Satan has disappeared, this means that every demon in the world can keep most of the gains in the world. Therefore, many clever demons began to cultivate their own reputation, hoping that more humans can solve problems by summoning demons.

This is why many spellcasters and demons have cooperated happily in the magic world.

It's not that the demons are holding back, but the environment has changed. The demons keep up with the times and have changed their way of "doing business".

"Have you already known about the "God's Descent"?" Constantine continued to ask.

"That's right." Portia nodded simply, "The God's Domain and Hell are bordering each other. Although it is difficult for demons to enter the God's Domain, some old gods who have a good relationship with Hell have revealed the news to us."

Many old gods related to powers such as "death", "the underworld", and "punishment" have a close relationship with Hell., it is normal that they have a close relationship with hell, Constantine was not surprised by this.

"What are the movements of those old gods?"

Portia Snake showed a trace of embarrassment on her face: "It's not that I don't want to say, I'm just a small demon, and it's impossible for me to know the affairs of the big guys..."

That's true...

Constantine didn't continue to ask. He had a hunch that Satan's disappearance and the God's descent on Earth seemed to have nothing to do with each other, but there was a line connecting the two in the dark.

Finally, all the clues came together, but Constantine felt chilled.

He always felt that there was a hand controlling everything in the dark.

"If there really is such a being, then who is He? What is the purpose..." Constantine muttered to himself.

Portia felt that the restraints on her body seemed to be weaker, and she quietly prepared to sneak attack Constantine who was out of his mind.

But what she didn't expect was that in the next second, he was purified by the holy light that came from nowhere.
