Chatty Hollywood

"Didn't that Mephisto guy tell you?"

Facing Charlotte's question, Dracula was a little confused.

——To him, Mephisto is Xu Fu.

"That's right. He actually doesn't know it very well himself. Naturally, he has no choice but to tell others His name!"

"People don't even dare to say His name?"

Charlotte subconsciously thought of Lord Voldemort, the villain BOSS in "Harry Potter".

"You are talking about a person whose name cannot even be mentioned, right?"

"Can't you even mention your name?"

Dracula burst out laughing,

"On the contrary, He has many names—"

"In Egypt He was Osiris;"

“In Northern Europe His name is Hela;”

"In the east, he is the majestic and just King Guang of Qin;"

“In Greece he was the taciturn Hades;”

"He was sometimes a man and sometimes a woman, sometimes an old man, sometimes a young man."

"However, those are just the legends the world has about Him."

"He has no form."

"He has thousands of forms."

"He is the Lord of the Underworld, the King of Hell."

"And Lucifer is also one of His names."

"..."

On the one hand, Charlotte attached great importance to Dracula's poetic introduction, but on the other hand, she felt that the other person was pretending.

However, he also knew that this was actually Dracula using words to put pressure on himself.

But the more this happened, the more Charlotte felt relieved.

——If he didn't put enough pressure on Dracula, how could the other party say such a thing?

You know, for a hero like Dracula, who once served as the Grand Duke of Wallachia, hugging someone's thigh is not something to be proud of.

Of course, this kind of reassurance did not lessen Charlotte's vigilance towards "Him".

In fact, ever since Xu Fu revealed to Charlotte the process of Dracula's transformation from human to ghost, Charlotte had suspected that there were other ghosts at work.

After all, even if Dracula was a great hero during his lifetime, facing a demi-ghost like Xu Fu who is proficient in magic and cunning, it is impossible to trick the opponent in turn.

——Specialization is different!

But Dracula succeeded in stealing Xu Fu's power.

In Charlotte's opinion, 80% of this was due to the help of other ghosts or gods.

But Charlotte couldn't guess who it was.

But obviously, this should also be a powerful ghost or god with a long history. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to trick the cunning Xu Fu.

So, when Dracula revealed the existence of "him", Charlotte was very interested.

He even temporarily gave up the action of "persuading" Dracula to "commit suicide" for this reason.

Of course, he also considered that this might just be Dracula stalling for time.

But the thing is, stalling for time would also be good for Charlotte.

Therefore, he allowed Dracula to tell the story like a bard, but——

"You are lying to me!"

After hearing this, Charlotte didn't quite believe Dracula's words.

"Death is indeed mankind's greatest fear and one of the most powerful rules in the world, but precisely because it is too powerful, it cannot manifest the existence of gods."

Charlotte pointed out the loopholes in Dracula's words based on her own understanding.

——This point of view was actually told to Charlize when he was dealing with the evil god.

Regarding this conclusion, Dracula nodded,

"You are right! However, that is based on the normal formation process of gods."

"So, the formation process of "He" is very special?"

Charlotte understood what Dracula meant;

"You won't tell me that "He" was transformed from a human being just like you and Xu Fu, right?"

"I don't know about this."

A sneer appeared on the corner of Dracula's mouth,

"But his existence is indeed real,

I am able to become what I am now because of His help. "

"Did you become an immortal vampire because you received help from death?"

Charlotte felt a little mocked, but Dracula shook his head.

"You know nothing about power. He does not represent death itself, but human beings' fear of death, or in other words, the afterlife imagined by human beings -"

"Hell?"

Charlotte frowned;

"Indeed, there is an afterlife in the myths and legends of all peoples in the world. And in the afterlife, there are always opposites like heaven and hell."

"And what he represents is the hell part of all the afterlife."

Dracula sneered and said,

"So, it's okay if you call Him the Lord of Hell."

"Lord of Hell!?"

Charlotte still didn't believe it.

After all, according to his theory, the God who represents heaven does not exist—or cannot be embodied. Correspondingly, Lucifer, the Lord of Hell, should also exist in nothingness.

But now, Dracula told him that Lucifer really existed.

Moreover, is the Lord of Hell in all the myths and legends of the world the same one?

Charlotte always felt that there was something wrong here, but he still thought of a possibility——

"Could it be that one of the first batch of ghosts who were born discovered that they could gain strength from human fear, so they chose human imagination of the afterlife as the source of their own strength?"

"And as a ghost, if He wasn't obsessed with power, he could even spread to every corner of the earth in prehistoric times."

"That's why hell exists in myths and legends from all over the world."

“There was also a great flood and a place like heaven!”

Dracula added, by the way, with news that shocked Charlotte,

"Actually, the concept of heaven was also created by Him!"

"What!?"

For a moment, Charlotte thought Dracula was talking nonsense, but remembering what the other man said before, he understood a little bit,

"Without the backdrop of hell, how can there be the glory of heaven? - This sentence is actually true in reverse, right?"

"Without the hope of heaven, how can there be the horror of hell!?"

Charlotte glanced at Dracula,

"If what you said is true, then the purpose of creating heaven is to make others afraid of hell, right?"

"Yes."

Dracula nodded,

"Human beings only feel fear when they have hope. If it's all despair, then fear doesn't really matter."

"And as a ghost, even He needs to be feared by humans."

Charlotte said in a deep voice,

"So, in order to make people fear the hell after death, He deliberately created the beautiful concept of heaven - only when there is hope, people will be more afraid and hide in hell."

"You're right!"

Dracula clapped his hands,

"It's not that the establishment of heaven requires a vast hell, but that the existence of hell must be baited by an empty heaven."

Charlotte nodded,

"That's true. But—"

He glanced at Dracula, who still looked like Gary Oldman with a smile on his face.

"You shouldn't be Dracula now, right?"

"What should I call you?"

"Lord of Hell!?"

"Or Lucifer!!?"
