C16 Chapter 2.6

- Prove that even the most valiant of heroes succumb to the sins of gluttony and ambition. – Neron said.

- They won't. - Said Nix.

- So if you believe that so much, Nix, bet us. - Said Azazel.

- And what would I take with that? - Questioned Nix.

- The fact that you saved innocents and that you stopped people from dying. – Spectro said.

- You're perfect for us. – Spectro said.

- You will be the judge and mediator of the bets. - Trigon said. – What are we doing? - Trigon said.

- And why do you think I would help you in anything, or just participate in your schemes? - Contested Nix.

- Because if you don't accept. - Said Azazel.

- We will go after one after another until we succeed, and she or she will be part of our bet. - Trigon said.

– And they won't have a choice in the end. – Said the fallen angel Michael.

- Do you think it will be easy, like this? - Questioned Nix.

- In the absence of your opinion, others will arise. - Nekron said.

- It will happen whether you want it or not. - Trigon said.

- You're just one of the chosen ones. – Neron said.

- So what are the bets? - Questioned Nix.

- You will bet, or you can prevent. – Neron said.

- What's the bet itself? - Questioned Nix.

- The bet is as follows. - Rafael said.

- The betting rules. - Trigon said.

– Two heroes from each city at the end of two weeks. - Trigon said.

- Two sinless heroes from each city, being pure and innocent, if you kill a person of their own free will you must kill an innocent person without sin, at the end of two weeks if they kill, they will receive 700 billion dollars. - Said Azazel.

– They may or may not kill. - Trigon said. – You are free to do it or not. - Trigon said.

– They will each receive 700 billion dollars and 30 gold bars, for the first hero, if they kill seven innocents at the end of three days. - Trigon said.

- What if they don't kill? - Questioned Nix.

- You won't get anything. - Said Azazel.

- That simple? - Asked Nix.

- That simple. - Said Azazel.

- What if I stop it? - Questioned Nix. – What do I get out of it? - Questioned Nix.

- Besides the fact that you stopped someone from being killed? - Trigon asked.

- Will you save souls who may or may not go to my realms? - Trigon asked. – The glory of saving innocents.

- Three days? - Questioned Nix.

- Yes, that's enough to bring it all out.

- All right. - Said Nix. – Anything else I need to do? - Questioned Nix.

- Watch each of the heroes that might kill. - Trigon said. – You will be the judge. - Trigon said.

- When will they do that? - Questioned Nix.

- Now. – They said.

- Which...? - But there was a smoke and everyone there disappeared.

In the next second, she heard a bang, and all the screens started to drizzle, the ground shook, the weather was taken by a red mist, around her, they heard voices.

Nix left everything there, and when accompanied by all the people who came out of there and heard and saw Nekron himself and other heroes and all over the heroic cities, above the city sky.

In those two weeks later, she was taken towards her mansion, she was there in that cave.

They sat down, Nix realized he was naked, but it didn't matter.

- I was included in this bet. - Said Nix. - And now? – She questioned.

- You know we have a story to tell. - Said Mamon.

We've been betting for ages. - He said. – And we'll tell you what it is. - Said Mamon.

There were ancient stories among the oldest, the demons and the gods, ancient entities.

To what they knew about a deity who was a big gambler.

They knew that she was a mediator and witness to big stakes, and it was about a long-forgotten deity.

This deity that self-exiled from these worlds to other unknown worlds, and the ancient stories told that she was the biggest gambler, but that her betting wheel was made in an ancient castle over the waters and mirrors of dimensions.

From time to time, during major upheavals and events that she sent invitations between each of the realms of each demon who, when accepting the invitations, should go to the place of the mythical waters that was between the borders, the rules should be adhered to...

Yes, there were rules, but it was established by the mirrors that had sent for a long time, an acceptance between the red mists and the mirror, there was the rule that could not be broken.

Ages that did not see their hostess, who granted the bets from time to time.

She was famous for showing each of the mirrors that showed possible futures and worlds for each solution, among these worlds, they would choose an avatar or mediator, would be their judge or judge.

The exact reasons for her self-exile was being the guardian of the spirit world at the back door, so to speak, but even that didn't stop betting among the elders, demons were her greatest betting buddies.

Here was the biggest gamble since ancient times.

Obviously Lovecraft County City and Metropolis was the devil's gambling den, they enjoyed themselves at the expense of other humans.

There when seeing Trigon, Lucifer, Mamon, Michael, Raphael, Azazel, Neron, Spectro Nekron and Phantom Stranger who were sitting in what would be a room circulating between fog, white marble, pillars and white wells, that in the center of that table there was a white puddle with a reflection of a person, among several mirrors.

They are gathered here because they accepted my invitation. - Said the crystal clear voice in the middle of a river of several streams and waterfalls around what would be a world of fog.

- So what's the bet? – He asked.

- First let's stick to the rules...
