As soon as the commercial break ended, viewers couldn't wait to switch back to the "Night Owl" special, "Devil Late Night Show."
The center of the stage had been transformed into two chairs. One of the chairs looked like a torture chair, designed to restrain someone. Lily was now sitting in this chair, her hands and feet completely bound. Dr. Jones sat facing her.
As for the host, Jack Derle, and the professional debunker, Mike Conner, they were sitting in the shadows in the distance.
A spotlight shone down from above, focusing all attention on Lily and Dr. Jones.
Dr. Jones looked at Lily with a hesitant expression.
"Lily, if you don't want to go through with this ritual, you can refuse."
This might have been Dr. Jones talking to herself, but Lily genuinely looked like she didn't care.
"I'm fine, Dr. Jones."
Hearing this, Dr. Jones sighed.
"Alright, then close your eyes and get some rest for a bit."
Lily obediently closed her eyes, and then Dr. Jones began to hypnotize her.
It was clear that Dr. Jones wasn't just someone who knew some theory; at least when it came to hypnosis, she was quite professional.
Lily quickly fell asleep, her head naturally drooping.
Dr. Jones cautiously tried a question.
"Lily, are you asleep?"
Hearing Dr. Jones's voice, Lily's body twisted strangely. When she raised her head again, everyone saw that her face was covered in horrifying, blood-red cracks.
"Heh heh heh, what do you think?"
Dr. Jones was startled. She had conducted summoning rituals in the lab before, calling forth the "Wiggling Mister" inside Lily, but she had never encountered anything like this.
In fact, the Wiggling Mister was a relatively easy-going demon, which is why Dr. Jones was able to bring Lily on TV.
If it were a dangerous demon that killed anyone it saw, Lily definitely wouldn't have been able to come out.
Lily let out a series of sinister laughs, her voice hoarse and dry, like the sound of metal scraping, making everyone feel deeply uncomfortable.
"Lily, that's enough!"
Dr. Jones sensed that something was wrong and hoped that Lily could use her own will to expel the possessing demon. However, she didn't know that the entity currently possessing Lily wasn't an ordinary demon.
"Shut up, woman!"
Lily was laughing happily when Dr. Jones interrupted her. She glared at Dr. Jones, who was sent flying backward, crashing into the wall.
This scene made all the viewers watching the show widen their eyes in shock.
Lily turned her head to look at Jack Derle in the shadows.
"Jack Derle, you've done a great job!"
Jack suddenly prostrated himself on the ground in a very humble manner. Mike Conner, standing nearby, looked at Jack in utter shock.
"Master, I only hope you can grant my wish!"
"I will never be stingy with rewards for those who are capable, Jack! But there's still one step left. Where is the sacrifice?"
Just as Jack was about to answer, Mike Conner suddenly stood up and interrupted their conversation.
"Aha! I get it! You're trying to scare me this way, right? I should have seen it coming! Whose idea was this? I have to say, you guys are really selling it!"
Mike Conner walked towards Lily, wanting to expose her. This action undoubtedly enraged the demon inside Lily's body.
"Get lost, you stupid pig!"
With a glare, Mike Conner was lifted up as if choked by an invisible hand, floating in mid-air.
Even an extreme materialist like Mike Conner couldn't explain this now, and he couldn't even open his mouth to speak anymore.
Lily glared again, and Mike Conner instantly turned into vengeful flames, his whole body engulfed in orange-red fire, burning fiercely in mid-air.
"Heh heh heh heh..."
This scene left all the viewers in front of their televisions dumbfounded. Their reason told them that something was very wrong, but they didn't turn off the TV. Instead, they continued to watch this bizarre spectacle.
After laughing for a while, Lily continued to look at Jack.
"Jack Derle, where is the sacrifice I asked for? This little girl can't contain my true form!"
"Master, everyone in this building has already been controlled by me. They are the sacrifices, along with all the viewers who are watching this show on TV!"
Lily revealed a satisfied smile.
"A very interesting idea. Then I shall begin my meal!"
As she said this, Lily tilted her head back, and her mouth suddenly split open all the way to her ears, turning into a gaping maw.
Lily took a deep breath, and the audience and staff on set all fell to the ground with their mouths wide open, as if something was being sucked out of them.
At the same time, everyone in the TV station building controlled by Jack Derle fell to the ground with their mouths wide open.
Lily smacked her lips with her gaping maw.
"Ah! Delicious souls! But it seems like it's still a little short. Oh well, I'll just have to make do!"
With that, Lily suddenly grabbed her chest and ripped it open with force. Her body was torn in half like a rag doll, and a bizarre creature crawled out from inside her.
This creature was five meters tall, almost touching the ceiling of the studio.
It had two vulture heads, all four of its eyes were blood-red, and a pair of golden wings spread out from its back. Its whole body shimmered with golden light, covered in gold and jewelry.
After stretching its body, the creature walked up to the camera lens and introduced itself to all the viewers in front of their TVs.
"Humans, I am Mammon, the King of Greed! Become my slaves!"
At this point, it was too late for viewers to change channels or turn off the TV. Mammon had already cast a spell, using the TV signal as a medium to absorb the souls of those who were watching the show.
This method of absorbing souls was undoubtedly slower, but the sheer number of people made up for it!
There were at least millions of people watching "Devil Late Night Show" right now. If Mammon successfully absorbed the souls of these millions of people, he would definitely be able to use that power to bring his true form into the human world.
At that point, it would be very difficult to stop Mammon.
"God said, 'Let there be light!'"
A beam of holy light suddenly descended from the ceiling. Mammon reacted very quickly, instantly conjuring a huge piece of gold to block the light, protecting himself from its damage.
However, the magic Mammon had just released was interrupted as a result.
"Uriel?"
Mammon turned his head to look at the white-robed nun who had suddenly appeared in the studio, recognizing her true identity at a glance.
Iris's face was as cold as ice. Mammon's appearance meant she had failed in her duty, which made her very angry.
"Mammon, you shouldn't be here! Return to your greedy hell!"
Mammon's two bird heads simultaneously extended long tongues, letting out sharp, coarse laughter.
"Uriel, I planned for so long to come to this world. Why should I leave just because you say so? Look at this materialistic world, everyone is selling everything for money. I really like this world."
Iris took a deep breath. After coming to the human world, she had witnessed too much human depravity, so she had nothing to say in response to Mammon's words.
However, concerning her duty, Iris would never allow Mammon to remain in the human world.
"Mammon, since you refuse to leave, then I will personally send you back to hell!"
As she spoke, six pairs of wings shimmering with holy light spread out from Iris's back. She fully released her angelic power.
Then, Iris in her angel form began to attack.
"God said, 'Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years.'"
A ball of light appeared in front of Iris, and the holy light illuminated the surroundings, instantly causing severe damage to Mammon.
"Damn holy light!"
Mammon cursed and used gold to create shields to block the holy light, but his body was too large, and there were always areas he couldn't protect.
Therefore, Mammon was forced to counterattack.
A golden spike suddenly appeared below Iris, wanting to pierce her body, but Iris seemed to have anticipated this situation and moved her body just in time, causing Mammon's attack to miss.
"Damn precognition!"
This wasn't the first time Mammon had fought Uriel. He knew she possessed the ability to foresee the near future.
This ability naturally put Uriel in an invincible position. You could only continuously wear her down until her energy was depleted and she couldn't continue to foresee the future.
"Mammon, knowing you are no match for me, why are you still so stubborn!"
"I will never willingly leave!"
As expected of the King of Greed, a single sentence of unwillingness expressed the gambler's mentality.
How many gamblers become blinded by their unwillingness to lose, wanting to win back their losses, only to get deeper and deeper into debt, eventually leading to ruin and the destruction of their families?
Well, Mammon's eyes were already red, so he was always in an agitated state.
"You like prophecy, huh? Then I'll bet on probability with you!"
As he spoke, a golden die appeared in front of Mammon. Iris frowned.
As the King of Greed and the number one gambler in hell, his special ability was to control probability to some extent.
Now, Mammon was preparing to use random attacks against Iris, not giving her a chance to foresee them.
Uriel's Eye of Foresight actually saw the most probable future among many possibilities. When the probabilities of different futures became equal, her Eye of Foresight would lose its effectiveness. Mammon's method had hit her right where it hurt.
"God said, 'Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.'"
Instantly, a large amount of seawater appeared around Iris, and Mammon had just thrown the die.
In an instant, the walls and ceiling of the studio grew a large number of golden spikes, all aimed at Iris.
Fortunately, with the barrier created by the seawater, Iris weaved through the golden spikes, barely avoiding being turned into a sieve.
But simply dodging wasn't a long-term solution. What's more, Mammon had already picked up the golden die, preparing to throw it again.
"God said, 'Let the land produce living creatures, each according to its kind: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.'"
A large group of strange insects suddenly appeared around Iris. They crawled onto the golden spikes and began to devour them, eating them like sugarcane.
"It's useless, Uriel! No one can stop me!"
The die landed for the second time, and a hurricane mixed with golden sand began to blow through the studio, sweeping away the seawater and the gold-eating insects around Iris.
Iris spread her six wings of light, barely resisting the power of the hurricane, but the golden sand mixed in the hurricane was impossible to defend against.
All of this golden sand contained Mammon's demonic power, and its destructive force was extremely strong. Iris's body was quickly covered in bloody holes.
Although Uriel was an angel, her human form, Iris, was just a mortal body. Taking damage would affect her combat power.
Helpless, Iris could only use the power of words to protect herself.
"God said, 'Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.'"
A huge flower suddenly grew out of the studio floor, enveloping Iris within it.
This flower was extremely tough and remained standing no matter how the golden wind ravaged it.
Subsequently, the power of holy light appeared within the flower.
"Uriel, do you think you can escape my attack like this?"
Mammon threw the golden die for the third time, and the cables in the studio suddenly came to life, wrapping around the flower.
Iris realized that things were bad, but it was too late to try and escape at this point. After all, her speed couldn't compare to the speed of electricity.
"Ah—"
Instantly, electric light flashed everywhere, and Iris's hair stood on end from the shock.
Mammon was very pleased with himself.
"Hahaha! Uriel, you're finally getting what you deserve!"
At this point, a hint of despair could not help but appear in Iris's eyes.
Just then, Iris vaguely saw a figure sneaking into the studio.
Could it be him?
Iris made a decisive decision: she would buy time for the newcomer and draw Mammon's attention.
"Mammon, you will never defeat me! Justice will prevail!"
Mammon looked at Iris with a ferocious expression.
"The thing I hate the most is you people constantly talking about justice, honor, and holy light!"
"And that's why you were banished by God to hell!"
It turned out that Mammon was once an angel in heaven, his rank probably just below the four archangels.
Because he was too greedy and didn't even listen to God's commands, he was banished to hell.
Initially, Mammon was just a high-ranking fallen angel. His name even appeared in the 72 demons of the Ars Goetia, where he was known as Amon.
However, due to some opportunities, Mammon successfully seized the chance for promotion, rising to become the embodiment of the sin of greed, thus becoming one of the Seven Princes of Hell, on equal footing with his old superior, Belial.
It could be seen that Belial was indeed lazy. As the earliest embodiment of a sin, one by one, her subordinates rose up, but she didn't advance any further and was still just lying there.
Looking at it this way, among the Seven Princes of Hell, Beelzebub, Asmodeus, and Mammon were all from the 72 demons of the Ars Goetia, almost half of the Seven Princes of Hell.
The other demon kings, Leviathan the King of Envy, was as ancient as Belial, belonging to the original inhabitants of hell.
Lucifer, the right hand of God and the vice-ruler of heaven, was clearly sent by God to hell to control the situation, while Samael, who was also a fallen angel but held great hatred for God, was not happy about it.
"Shut up, Uriel! Are you trying to provoke me to seek a quick death? Don't worry! I will slowly torture you!"
Mammon was clearly very hateful towards his former colleagues. He was about to throw the die again when he suddenly sensed someone approaching.
"Who? Ah—"
Mammon
