There was turmoil in Hades after it emerged the Devil has gone broke and would not be buying souls anymore.
Thousands of people had been queueing at his headquarters deep in the Congo forest, near Goma, after we revealed how to sell your soul to the devil in five simple steps a few days back.
“We knew something was wrong when demons at the gate kept telling us to wait,” said Ruto who was seeking campaign money for a presidential race. “When we stormed in and demanded an explanation the devil said he was broke and couldn’t buy our souls.”
Esciora Phinoki, the Chief Auditor in Heaven and Hell, mentioned he had been waiting for this pitfall but did not expect it would happen so soon.
“I noticed the devil’s funds were running low in 2017. His accounts ran completely dry three years later just before our heavenly father released the COVID 19 virus,” he said.
Phinoki intimated things became more grave as 2020 proceeded. “As the world economy deteriorated, more people approached him seeking to sell their souls. He had no liquid cash and couldn’t turn them away thus he opted to borrow from his subordinate demons, the World Bank and China.”
The auditor revealed the devil purchases souls using upkeep money allocated to him every millennium by his heavenly father.
“He is just a spoilt kid who has been staying at his father’s basement since the beginning of time,” Phinoki concluded.
A demon close to him agreed to talk to our reporter only under conditions of keeping her anonymous.
“You will have to withhold my name, if you get me banished I will haunt you for the rest of your miserable life. The devil is addicted to gambling, has poor financial management skills, and has engaged in countless bad investments.”
She revealed many mortals con him and lie about the actual worth of their souls.
“The collected souls a sold to Egyptian god Anubis after 666 years. We are often disappointed to see the little amount we make in return.”
Overwhelmed, stressed and desperate the devil hid in a bunker and only emerged after people had stormed his compound.
Witnesses said they usually saw him clean-cut and smart wearing Prada but on that Saturday he was humongous, had talons and scales on his limbs.
It was also reported his eyes were burning with sulphur and brimstone. People did not nudge even after he had roared at them to walk away.
It was at this point he raised his 27 feet tail to its highest point and streams of lightning formed at its tip. He then struck it on the ground with a deafening whoosh.
Simultaneously, there were strong winds, thunders, the moon tuned black and the nearby Nyiragongo volcanic mountain erupted.
Our demon source mentioned the eruption was meant to chase away the people and would fizzle down once everyone had cleared out of the area and the devil had decided what to do next.
You are warned against trying to contact the devil at this period. We’ll keep you updated as the story unfolds.
