Chapter 176: A Dumbfounded Oblivion!
Oblivion was somewhat dumbfounded right now.
Had he known earlier, he would never have made such big claims.
Now he had lost all his face.
This human, Ryan.
Could actually hard-resist his attack.
It was simply absurd!
He was, after all, the most prominent existence among the top five gods!
How could such a mishap happen?
If this matter were to reach the ears of those other guys,
How was he supposed to show his face anymore?
A bad feeling arose deep within Oblivion's heart.
His majesty was about to be compromised!
Oblivion stared fixedly at Ryan, neither of them making a sound.
After a long while,
Oblivion finally managed to squeeze out a sentence.
"Mortal."
"What means did you use to accomplish this?"
"What I used was none other than the Power of Oblivion!"
Oblivion's face was full of sheer disbelief.
By what right could a mere mortal block the Power of Oblivion?
This was a terrifying energy capable of erasing even the entire starry sky!
What kind of spell was this supposed to be anyway?
Oblivion was now like a child who knew nothing, filled with a desire to explore regarding Ryan.
However,
Ryan had no intention of answering him at all.
"Oblivion, why don't you reveal the details of this power of yours to me first?"
"In your dreams!"
"This is my livelihood, after all."
Oblivion blurted out.
This was far more than just a livelihood.
Strictly speaking,
He himself was the embodiment of this power.
It was the word "Oblivion" that shaped his current appearance.
He was more like a vocabulary that had derived self-awareness.
This power was his true form.
If he handed over all his bottom cards to Ryan, wouldn't he be doomed?
"So you are aware of it."
Ryan glanced at him speechlessly.
He really couldn't understand how this guy had the nerve to ask that.
Who would go around talking about their life-saving trump card?
Tired of living?
Oblivion was choked by Ryan's words and couldn't speak for a long time.
The person before him,
Was simply too infuriating!
Clearly,
Ryan asking back like this was purely because he didn't take him seriously at all.
"Mortal."
"Don't you know that my condescendingly asking you is giving you tremendous face?"
Oblivion said coldly.
"That high-and-mighty expression of you guys,"
"Is truly nauseating to look at."
Ryan's gaze sank.
It seemed that in this World,
These gods were all quite terrible.
Being arrogant, rigid, and conceited was a common ailment.
For example,
Thor was a living example.
If he hadn't been beaten up miserably on Earth,
He would definitely be an annoying thorn in the side.
Those gods of Norse mythology had always been famous for being crude.
Originally thinking,
The five creation gods might be a bit stronger.
Looking at it now,
They were all birds of a feather.
To reach this point,
The opponent still didn't treat Ryan as an equal opponent.
"Cut the crap."
"Let's settle it with strength."
Ryan was too lazy to waste his breath.
Oblivion was born a deity,
Using human rules to demand things of them was purely a waste of emotion.
Although Ryan was disgusted by his demeanor, he couldn't be bothered to correct it.
Beating him into submission would suffice.
"Ding!"
"You have confronted a supreme deity representing the rules of the Universe."
"Your fighting spirit is boiling, and you have obtained the permanent buff rewarded by the system: Glory of the Mortal."
"You will possess a stronger sense of oppression when facing deities."
"When facing deity-level opponents, your magic lethality is doubled!"
"Your Bolts of Balthakk have sensed the terrifying Oblivion energy."
"Your Bolts of Balthakk have derived the pure Law of Destruction."
"Defeat Oblivion head-on, and your Bolts of Balthakk will completely transform into the Power of Law."
A series of crisp system notification sounds exploded in his mind.
Ryan slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, the heavy stone in his heart finally landing.
At this moment,
His combat power skyrocketed once again.
It seemed that today, not only could he retreat unscathed, but he could also make a big profit.
"Mortal."
"You have some skills, and I think quite well of you."
"But this is not enough for you to provoke the majesty of the gods."
"Since you are courting death, I will grant your wish. This is the final blow."
"If you don't die, I'll turn around and leave!"
Oblivion stared fixedly at Ryan and said with a cold voice.
"Bring it on."
Ryan violently waved his arm.
The magic shield around his body instantly surged by a large circle.
"Grip of Oblivion!"
Oblivion raised his right arm,
And fiercely clenched his five fingers in the void.
An indescribably huge pitch-black palm emerged in the sea of stars.
Ryan raised his head.
As far as his vision could reach, there was only a patch of viscous dead black,
As if the entire starry sky was tightly grasped by this palm.
A suffocating and terrifying heavy pressure spread wildly in the sea of stars, slamming heavily onto Ryan's shoulders.
Ryan's body suddenly sank downwards,
The bones inside his body burst out with harsh friction sounds.
"As expected of a Creation God."
A flash of amazement crossed Ryan's eyes.
Even as mortal enemies,
This power was still so strong that it made one's heart palpitate.
Ryan was very clear about how abnormal his physical body was right now.
Even if the sea of stars collapsed, his body could remain undamaged in the destruction.
Even if his soul dissipated, this physical body could endure through a long passage of time.
Although it was still somewhat away from being indestructible through all tribulations,
But relying on a drop of blood to be reborn and crushing stars with bare hands was definitely as easy as pie.
But right now,
This extremely formidable physical body,
Made sounds of being unable to bear the weight under this heavy pressure.
The five major gods truly lived up to their reputation!
"Mortal."
"It's too late to beg for mercy now."
Oblivion let out a light hum, his five fingers suddenly tightening.
"Oblivion, this starry sky,"
"The one who can control life and death is not just you alone!"
"Take this move of mine!"
"Bolts of Balthakk!"
Ryan roared out loudly.
A dazzling golden radiance flashed, and even his pupils turned into brilliant bright gold.
A glaring golden lightning bolt suddenly surged out from Ryan's palm.
Compared to the pitch-black giant hand covering the sky above his head,
This lightning bolt was as tiny as a speck of dust,
Appearing feeble and powerless.
However,
The moment it touched,
This lightning crazily traversed along the black palm lines.
That giant hand condensed from the pure Power of Oblivion,
Actually began to show signs of dissolving,
Large chunks disintegrated, and the pitch-black energy dissipated wildly.
The nearby dead stars,
Were merely splashed by a trace of black gas,
And silently turned into cosmic dust.
Such terrifying energy,
In front of the golden lightning, however, was like paper,
Unable to block it even for a moment, completely falling apart.
Oblivion desperately urged the vast divine power within his body,
But simply could not stop the momentum of collapse.
Following closely,
This violent golden lightning directly followed the energy trajectory, fiercely striking towards Oblivion's true body.
Oblivion's eyeballs suddenly shrank,
Massive amounts of divine power surged out wildly trying to resist.
To no avail.
The golden light cut through everything unstoppably,
Instantly enveloping Oblivion's entire body.
Golden electric arcs traversed across his body, as if branding golden incantations onto his body surface.
"How can this possibly be some sort of spell!"
Huge waves stirred up deep within his heart.
What kind of spell was this after all!
By what right could it disintegrate his power!
This was the purest source of destruction in the World!
How could it be broken open by a mere spell!
How could this World breed such a means that restrained him?
Oblivion, while frantically mobilizing his divine power, tried to force the lightning inside his body out,
At the same time, he fell into deep shock.
Too distant,
He himself couldn't remember how many epochs he had lived through.
A scene that made him feel so helpless,
Exactly how many years had it been since he experienced it?
This mortal,
Simply incredible.
Chapter 177: Annihilation Backs Down! Boom!
Deep within the boundless, fathomless starry sky.
A golden radiance, brilliant to the extreme, suddenly erupted.
The vast sea of stars was instantly and thoroughly illuminated by this sacred color.
This blinding glow was completely different from the temperature of a star.
It was like the very first ray of dawn tearing through the endless darkness at the break of day.
Within this halo of light.
It contained boundless vitality and unshakeable might.
Causing the surrounding void to begin trembling violently.
Lasting for a full quarter of an hour.
The intense light deep within the starry sky finally gradually subsided.
The vast Universe returned once more to dead silence.
Within the endless rivers of stars, countless powerful entities were frantically deducing the root cause of this anomaly.
However.
No matter how they investigated.
Even the top civilizations that mastered dimensional technology could not trace even a single trace of this energy.
At this very moment.
Annihilation and Ryan were still confronting each other from afar in space.
On the surface, everything looked calm and tranquil.
However.
The situation of this supreme deity was utterly terrible.
His previous physical body.
Should have been like a miniature, brilliant river of stars.
Within the deep darkness, hundreds of millions of stars were born, died, and operated.
Like a miniature Universe.
Filled with mystery and magnificence.
But right now.
All those glowing galactic anomalies within his body had completely extinguished.
Leaving behind only a lifeless pitch blackness.
Dense golden lightning patterns darted wildly inside his body, like unerasable runes branded upon him.
Causing a violent repulsion with his own energy system.
Making it look completely out of place.
Not only that.
Annihilation's expression right now was even uglier to the extreme.
As if he were enduring some kind of heart-piercing agony.
"Mortal, just what kind of power did you inject into my body!"
"Why can't even my origin source dissolve it!"
Annihilation stared fixedly at Ryan, his tone revealing exasperation.
At first, he thought this was just a slightly more powerful attack method.
Intending to forcefully drive it out of his body using his origin of destruction.
That intense light that illuminated the sea of stars just now.
Was precisely the commotion caused when he tried to force a trace of lightning out of his body.
When he witnessed with his own eyes.
That merely a sliver of leaked energy could trigger such a terrifying anomaly.
Annihilation finally realized.
That he had underestimated his enemy.
This kind of energy did not belong to any known system at all.
Up to this moment.
The remaining lightning was still rampaging and roaming within his body.
He could only consume his own divine power at any cost to suppress it bit by bit.
This not only damaged his origin.
But also brought unimaginable torment.
Annihilation himself was a pure aggregate of energy.
Having no physical body of flesh and blood.
However.
Ryan's power.
Was directly scorching his origin of consciousness.
This kind of pain was enough to cause an ordinary soul to collapse instantly.
Fortunately, as a Genesis God, his mental resilience was among the best in the entire multiverse.
That was how he barely managed to hold on.
"Mortal."
"Take back your power, and I will pretend today's matter never happened."
Annihilation endured the pain and proposed in a deep voice.
"I'm afraid that's a bit difficult for me."
"If I told you that even I don't know the background of this thing, would you believe it?"
Ryan spread his hands.
Putting on a helpless expression.
Just what laws this mutated lightning had fused with.
He truly had no clue at all!
This perhaps mixed in all kinds of mysterious bonuses bestowed by the system.
He just needed to use it.
But if he were asked to explain the principles behind it to Annihilation.
He would also be completely in the dark.
Hearing him say this.
Annihilation naturally didn't believe a single half-word.
"Mortal, don't play such tricks in front of me."
"Think carefully, there is no deep hatred between you and me."
"As long as you withdraw this power, I will immediately exit your dimension and never step foot here again for even half a step."
"How about it?"
Annihilation slowed his tone and began to negotiate conditions.
He acutely perceived that.
The lightning that invaded his body was a hundred times trickier than he had estimated.
Through calculation.
If he solely relied on himself to forcibly obliterate it.
It would take at least hundreds of millions of epochs.
In such long, endless years.
Who knew what unexpected changes might arise.
While he was indeed immortal.
However.
Those archenemies he had dealt with in the past.
Would never let go of this opportunity to kick a man when he was down!
If it really reached that point.
Wouldn't the face of a dignified Genesis God like him be trampled underfoot?
Especially that old hypocrite Eternity.
Always putting on a benevolent and aloof look, loving most to put on a hypocritical act.
Annihilation had long found him unpleasant to the eyes, and the two often engaged in fierce brawls.
If that hypocrite were to learn that his origin source was damaged.
He would definitely take advantage of his weakness to humiliate him fiercely.
Weighing the pros and cons.
Lowering his head slightly to Ryan seemed quite insignificant.
As long as he quietly resolved the trouble.
Afterward.
Erasing the related causal lines.
Who would know that a dignified Genesis God had suffered a setback here?
Annihilation calculated rapidly in his heart.
Ryan narrowed his eyes, sizing up the opponent with vigilance.
"You aren't planning to turn around and erase our dimension right after you pull away, are you?"
Ryan asked with a hint of doubt.
Although his combat power was off the charts.
But in certain divine abilities involving the rules of the Universe, he still wasn't as resourceful as these ancient deities.
For example.
The ability to reset the entire time dimension was something he didn't possess yet.
If Annihilation had just left with his front foot and turned furious with his back foot.
Destroying the entire space directly from the outside.
He himself might be safe and sound, but his friends and Earth would definitely be doomed.
Ryan would absolutely not allow such a hidden danger to exist.
Hearing this.
Annihilation was slightly startled.
"You overestimate me."
"I won't do such a foolish thing."
"Erasing a complete dimension at will comes at an extremely heavy price."
"Although we possess the power of destruction, we are constrained by formless rules and cannot act recklessly."
Annihilation explained in a deep voice.
Although they held lofty positions.
They were not the masters of all things.
Above them, there was an even supreme existence supervising everything.
Once they crossed the line and angered the one above.
With just a slight thought, Genesis Gods like them would instantly vanish into smoke.
They didn't dare to gamble.
Ryan raised an eyebrow.
This was the first time he had heard of such a thing.
Thinking about it carefully.
The dignified Five Genesis Gods shouldn't resort to making up lies to deceive people over such trivial matters.
"Do you dare to swear an oath never to set foot in this dimension again?"
"I swear an oath, I will never set foot in your territory again!"
Annihilation didn't hesitate in the slightest, stating his position on the spot.
He cursed inwardly in his heart.
With an unreasonable monster like you guarding the place, would he have to be full and bored out of his mind to come here and court death?
In other dimensions, he was still the high and mighty lord, calling the wind and summoning the rain.
Running over here.
Just moving a finger casually.
And he still had to look at Ryan's expression.
This was purely asking for trouble for himself!
"As long as you take back your power, I will disappear right now."
"I swear by the dignity of a Genesis God!"
Annihilation said resolutely.
Ryan pondered slightly and nodded.
He didn't want to offend an ancient deity to death either.
Even a rabbit would bite when pushed into a corner.
If an existence of this level were really driven to a dead end.
Heaven knew how many things would be dragged down as cushions with him.
A trick like rebooting the timeline was impossible to guard against.
Although Ryan feared nothing.
He definitely didn't want the old friends around him to become funeral companions.
"I hope you are a man of your word."
Ryan raised his palm.
The dazzling golden brilliance flickered slightly.
That trace of violent lightning entrenched within Annihilation's body seemed to have received a summons, and began to slowly flow backward along the energy circuits.
Finally turning into a wisp of golden light that was pulled out from Annihilation's body.
The moment it left the body.
Annihilation's massive body shuddered violently.
Like a precision instrument re-energized with power.
Those dim stars within his body instantly bloomed with dazzling brilliance, recovering once more the depth and grandeur of a river of stars.
Ryan still maintained a high degree of alertness, staring at Annihilation with a torch-like gaze.
Guarding at any moment against the opponent suddenly launching an attack.
Chapter 178: Eternity Watching the Show!
"Mortal."
"Consider yourself capable."
"Truly extraordinary."
"Let us meet again in the vast dimensions."
As the words fell.
Annihilation tore open a spatial rift and dove straight into the depths of the boundless dimensions.
Ryan let out a long breath of foul air.
Fighting an ancient entity of this level carried far too much oppression.
Fortunately, he had a cheat by his side.
He shook his head.
With a swipe of his finger, he opened a Portal, and his figure immediately vanished into it.
In the dead space.
That was the place where the two had just fought.
The void suddenly rippled.
An oddly large-headed bald man mysteriously emerged.
He draped a wide robe, looking quite bizarre.
He was also clutching an unknown artifact in his hand.
Exuding a sense of mystery.
If there were a knowledgeable mighty figure here.
They would surely recognize his identity at a glance.
This was the most famous onlooker in the sea of stars.
The Watcher!
"Let me see what kind of mess happened in this place."
"The energy reaction is absurdly exaggerated; I wonder which mighty deity has descended upon this Universe."
This large-headed oddball muttered to himself.
How terrifying the commotion of the action of a Creator God was.
That aftershock had long since pierced through the barrier of the single Universe.
Even the powerhouses outside the dimensions had noticed it.
He had precisely captured this violent fluctuation.
And specifically rushed over to investigate.
He fiddled with the artifact in his hand.
A virtual panel popped out.
The technological level of the Watcher race had already reached the pinnacle.
This little gadget could not only reproduce past images.
But also conceal their whereabouts.
After all.
Those high and mighty sovereigns certainly did not like being watched like monkeys.
In case it angered them.
The end result definitely would not be good.
Light and shadow flowed on the screen.
The scenes of the previous battle clearly manifested.
This large-headed oddball merely glanced at it.
And was stunned on the spot.
"This is..."
"That..."
His heart churned violently, not even daring to mention the name of the other party.
A supreme existence of this level.
As long as someone spoke their honorific name, they could instantly sense it.
"Damn it!"
The face of the large-headed oddball turned pale.
He had clearly seen just now.
That supreme Creator God was actually being held down and beaten!
And even fell into a disadvantage.
For such big figures.
If such an embarrassing matter were to spread out.
Would that be acceptable?
If the other party noticed him peeking.
He feared not even slag would be left.
He hurriedly fumbled a part out of his pocket.
Snap!
And crushed it to pieces.
An invisible fluctuation rippled out, wiping away all his remaining traces completely.
Then he fled the scene like his eyebrows were on fire.
As he slipped away, he was full of doubts.
"What on earth is the background of that human?"
"To actually make a Creator God bite the dust?"
Unfortunately, no one was destined to give him an answer.
Not long after he made off.
A crack split open in space.
Detecting that Ryan had indeed gone far away.
Annihilation then stealthily poked its body out.
"No, absolute silence must be kept about this damn matter."
The massive divine sense unfolded like a tsunami.
Threads representing causality and trajectory emerged around it.
Massive amounts of data crazily intertwined.
After a long time.
It finally felt slightly relieved.
"It seems no one witnessed it."
"This will be easy to handle."
Annihilation was very satisfied.
With a wave of its large sleeve.
The surrounding space shattered inch by inch like fragile glass.
All rules, matter, and even timelines were forcibly churned into pieces.
Transforming into a piece of chaotic nothingness.
Looking at this void whose traces had been completely destroyed.
It then put its mind at ease.
"Now it is finally quiet; even immortals cannot find any clues."
After scanning back and forth several times to confirm everything was correct.
It then split open the dimension.
Headed back home.
Although it suffered a huge secret loss.
But its mindset was quite tough.
Nimbly returning to its old lair.
Every supreme deity.
Had an exclusive domain.
Being within it.
Their power could be endless, reaching its peak state.
Just like the Crimson Lord holing up in the Crimson Dimension.
Annihilation also holed up in its exclusive dimension.
Just as its front foot stepped into the home.
Its back foot sensed an annoying fluctuation.
"Eternity?"
"What kind of madness is this hypocrite running over here to throw?"
Annihilation was instantly filled with displeasure.
The two of them were naturally as incompatible as Water and Fire.
Conceptually, they were opposing sides locked in a death struggle.
Ordinarily, they did not even give each other a good look when they met.
How come today it took the initiative to visit?
However.
It could not lose face and directly close its doors to guests.
Lest it seem lacking in confidence.
It could only open up the barrier of the dimension.
"Eternity, are you having too much idle time?"
"There is no wine here to entertain you."
Annihilation rebuked with a bad tone.
Having just taken a severe beating outside.
And running into its arch-nemesis upon returning home.
Who could feel happy?
"I just got an interesting piece of news, and came specially to chat with you about it."
Eternity had a smile hanging at the corner of its mouth, looking like it was in a great mood.
"Speak your mind quickly."
Annihilation put on airs, treating it with cold eyes.
"There has been blind rumors going around the streets lately."
"Saying that you got sorted out; am I not just worried about an old buddy?"
"Seeing that you are complete and intact, I can finally rest at ease."
Eternity smiled like a blooming flower, completely wearing the expression of someone watching the fun without fear of big trouble.
The heart of Annihilation skipped a beat.
Fortunately.
Its true form was a cluster of deep darkness.
Outsiders simply could not tell how ugly its expression was.
"Where did these rumors come from!"
"Who could possibly move me? Simply absurd!"
Annihilation stubbornly refused to admit it.
"Is that so? But everyone is passing it on so mystically."
"They say you were sorted out by a mage from the 616 dimension."
"I heard you were beaten so hard you could not find North."
"Old buddy, this must be made up by people, right?"
"You are a high and mighty sovereign after all, how could you fall into the hands of a mortal?"
"Even if the two of us have not interacted in a long time."
"You would not have mixed yourself up to be this miserable, right?"
Eternity spoke in a leisurely manner.
That face was filled with undisguised schadenfreude.
It was practically carving "I saw everything" onto its forehead.
Annihilation only felt a surge of evil Fire shooting straight to its crown.
Wishing it could tear the guy in front of it alive.
What kind of blind rumor was this?
This old fellow definitely peeped the whole process and deliberately ran over to disgust people.
What an absolute bastard!
Watching the deflated appearance of Annihilation.
Eternity felt practically thrilled to the core in its heart.
It never expected.
An Earthling it had glanced at in the early years.
Was now actually ferocious to this extent.
Simply a monstrosity!
How long had passed.
That it could press this cluster of black fog onto the floor and rub it.
Truly satisfying!
Its vision was indeed piercingly accurate.
Watching its arch-nemesis unable to voice its suffering.
Eternity blossomed with joy in its heart.
Contemplating that it should look after Ryan more in the future.
Such a thigh with off-the-charts combat power.
Must be cozied up to immediately.
Compared to the triumphant Eternity.
Annihilation was miserable.
Chapter 179 Oblivion Public Humiliation!
Oblivion was as disgusted as he could possibly be right now.
He couldn't figure it out no matter what.
Clearly, when he left, he had completely messed up the spacetime causality of that region.
How could this scandal still reach other people's ears?
Glancing at the grinning face opposite him,
Oblivion gnashed his teeth in hatred.
It was all Ryan's damn fault!
Why did his combat power have to be so fierce!
Causing him, a dignified creator god, to lose such a huge face.
And even letting his sworn enemy catch a handle on him.
Regret filled Oblivion's heart.
Had he known earlier, even if beaten to death, he wouldn't have gone on a long trip.
How comfortable it would have been to hide in his own territory and act like a boss.
Who could have expected?
A mere inconspicuous single Universe.
Would actually hide such a fierce deity?
Oblivion felt like crying without tears.
Ryan, of course, was unaware of these twists and turns.
He just randomly made a move once,
And it actually caused another supreme entity to run over and make things difficult for Oblivion.
If he knew about this,
He would probably have a new evaluation of these high-and-mighty gods.
At this moment,
Ryan had already returned to Earth.
After properly settling the trapped superheroes,
He resumed a peaceful life.
Relying on the blessing of his cheat,
He successfully forced a monster of Oblivion's level out of the 616 Universe.
However,
Ryan knew it like a crystal-clear mirror in his heart.
Once detached from the cheat's buff,
He still wasn't qualified to challenge those ancient existences.
Therefore,
As soon as he had some free time,
He immediately threw himself into a new round of ascetic cultivation.
However,
The book of the vishanti was indeed a rare treasure.
But this thing had a fatal flaw.
The secret arts recorded inside
Were uniformly defense and support-type spells!
This gave Ryan a huge headache; he now urgently needed high-damage attack methods.
What made people helpless was that
Past generations of Sorcerer Supreme didn't seem very warlike.
In the collection of Kamar-Taj, offensive spells were pitifully scarce.
Ryan had no other choice,
And could only dive headfirst into the sea of books,
Attempting to dig out some useful combat heritage from the vast ancient books.
Just like that, he started seclusion mode in the library again.
...
The multiverse Universe was vast as the sea of stars.
Distributed among them were hundreds and thousands of different dimensions.
These dimensions varied in strength.
And among the many dimensions,
There was a special place with a notorious reputation.
Its name was called:
Hell!
As one of the top different dimensions,
Naturally, it had its supreme ruler here.
That was the great demon, Mephisto.
This veteran demon king's magical power was unfathomable.
What he was best at was setting various traps, seducing mortals into signing contracts, and thereby harvesting souls.
The widely renowned Ghost Rider
Was someone who accidentally fell into his scheme,
Being forcibly stuffed with a demon's soul and henceforth reduced to his thug.
And such an astonishing stroke
For Mephisto, was merely a pastime during his leisure time.
With a wave of his hand, he could create a powerful anti-hero.
This was enough to prove how profound his foundation was.
At this time,
Mephisto was sitting squarely on his throne.
His eyes greedily stared at an ancient stone slab in front of him.
"Supreme Creator."
"Ancient Underworld God."
"The whereabouts of the darkhold, I've finally managed to trace it."
Looking at the clues emerging on the stone slab,
The demon king's eyes shone with excitement.
Although he called the wind and rain in his own territory,
In the powerhouse echelon of the entire multiverse Universe,
He at most counted as a single Universe level.
The most fatal thing was,
As long as he left Hell,
His combat power would be greatly discounted.
To break this restriction,
He spent countless years searching for clues,
And finally found the key to breaking the deadlock.
That was the legendary darkhold!
This grimoire personally written by the ancient Loki Chthon
Recorded endless forbidden mysteries.
As long as one read it, one could acquire Earth-shattering magic knowledge.
The premise was that
The reader must withstand the erosion of Loki's power.
Mephisto coveted this eagerly.
As long as he got his hands on this grimoire,
His strength would surely usher in a qualitative leap.
"Really didn't expect that such a divine artifact is actually hidden on Earth."
"Even the heavens are helping me."
Mephisto smiled sinisterly.
The distance between the Hell dimension and Earth was not far.
This enabled him to still exert considerable combat power on Earth.
"The only tricky part is that bald mage."
Mentioning the Sorcerer Supreme, the demon king also felt a bit of a headache.
As the Guardian of Earth,
Ancient One's own combat power was secondary.
The key was that her family background was rich!
Relying on the treasury of the first Sorcerer Supreme, Agamotto,
And holding the eye of agamotto capable of manipulating time in her hand.
Mephisto had often suffered setbacks on this divine artifact before.
This time,
He decided to play some shady tricks.
The demon king's thought stirred.
He split off an avatar,
And along the void rift, quietly sneaked into Earth.
The darkhold had a self-protecting disguise.
Usually, it looked like a tattered diary,
Without a single bit of energy fluctuation,
Making it extremely difficult to search for.
Fortunately,
Mephisto had operated on Earth for many years,
Raising a large number of believers and contractual slaves under his command.
Under the thorough inquiries of these people everywhere,
They quickly locked onto the target.
He came to a place where magic fluctuations were exceptionally strong.
"Westview."
Mephisto turned into a meticulously dressed gentleman,
Looking at the town's signpost.
A sharp glint flashed across the bottom of his eyes.
The magic breath permeating the air
Was intricate and complex.
One of the forces made even him feel alarmed.
"This damn place really hides dragons and tigers."
"I still need to plan for the long term."
Mephisto calculated inwardly.
As a veteran devil,
He had always looked down on brawls and killings.
Toying with prey using brains was his style.
Facing the divine book close at hand,
He suppressed his temper,
Deciding to settle down in the town first and figure out the details before talking.
A few months flew by in a flash.
He had already figured out the situation in the town completely.
This place
Lived two ruthless characters.
On one side were Wanda and Vision in the Avengers.
On the other side,
Unexpectedly, there was a living Witch.
This greatly surprised the demon king.
He originally thought professions like Witch had long been burned clean by the Holy See.
He didn't expect
Not only was there one hidden here,
And her strength was outrageously strong.
That massive magic reserve could definitely rank high on Earth.
The most crucial thing was,
The darkhold he had been thinking about day and night
Had fallen right into this Witch's hands.
Chapter 180 darkhold!
"It looks like she's targeting the superheroes."
"Going head-to-head is not a wise move."
Mephisto, hiding in the Shadow, plotted inwardly.
He had also heard a thing or two about the Avengers.
They were simply a group of barbarians who worshipped violence.
Even the gods of Asgard had suffered losses at their hands.
He was certainly unwilling to provoke these troublesome thorns.
The safest method was to lay out plans in secret.
Without anyone noticing.
Quietly getting his hands on the darkhold.
"Fantastic."
"These superheroes usually love to uphold justice."
"This is the absolute best time for me to strike!"
A smug smile appeared on Mephisto's lips.
His gaze pierced through the obstacles.
And clearly saw.
That Witch was hiding in the Underground Room, flipping through an ancient and thick tome.
That was precisely the darkhold he dreamed of.
Greed flickered in Mephisto's eyes.
Immediately after.
A cluster of scarlet, eerie energy overflowed from his fingertips.
Like an arrow leaving the bowstring, it shot straight towards the Witch.
He was certain.
As long as this Witch began frantic destruction.
The superheroes living close at hand would definitely not sit idly by.
By that time.
He could take the treasure he wanted without a drop of blood.
Earth, this Planet, had a terrifyingly deep foundation.
Over the long years.
Countless gifted superhumans had been born.
The Witch community was once a dazzling lineage among them.
In the Middle Ages, they even had the ability to manipulate the direction of entire countries.
Unfortunately.
With the changes of the times and the progress of science and technology.
Coupled with the cruel cleansing initiated by religion.
The Witch clan inevitably headed toward decline.
And Agatha was the sole survivor who survived this cruel history.
She was obsessed with studying dark magic, mastering evil methods capable of plundering others' magic.
Even more frighteningly.
In her hands.
She also held the darkhold that drove countless people crazy.
Having barely survived in the mortal World for hundreds of years.
In pursuit of even more powerful strength.
Agatha locked her greedy gaze on the Scarlet Witch in the Avengers.
The magic energy contained within the Scarlet Witch was as vast as the ocean.
As long as she could make this power her own.
Agatha firmly believed that she would surely ascend to the throne of the strongest World mage!
Inside the Underground Room at this moment.
Agatha was greedily reading the darkhold, absorbing the wisdom of Chthon.
Massive amounts of taboo knowledge surged into her mind like a tide.
However, something was not quite right.
An inexplicable wave of restlessness surged in Agatha's heart.
As time passed.
This sense of restlessness grew increasingly intense.
The dormant dark magic within Agatha also began to surge out of control.
Boom!
The violent dark magic instantly burst out of control.
Agatha's eyes turned completely bloodred.
Obviously, her sanity had been swallowed by the power.
The terrifying magic Impact directly overturned the Underground Room, and she rushed to the ground like a furious beast.
Then she carried out a mindless destruction in the quiet Westview.
For a time, screams and cries rang out across the town.
At this moment.
Wanda and Vision were staying in the house.
Their relationship had been heating up rapidly recently.
It was a time of incomparable sweetness.
Suddenly hearing the violent explosions and civilian screams coming from outside.
The two did not hesitate at all and immediately soared into the sky.
As soon as they saw the frenzied Agatha, the two sides instantly erupted into a fierce conflict.
Although Agatha usually kept a low profile, she was an old monster who had lived for several centuries after all.
Coupled with the day-to-day nourishment of the darkhold.
Her magic attainment was unfathomable.
As soon as they exchanged blows.
She actually relied on her own strength to withstand the joint attack of Wanda and Vision.
You must know that this was still her combat power while in a state of madness.
The depth of her foundation was evident.
But Agatha never expected.
Just when she was fighting to the death with the Avengers.
In her secret Underground Room, which she treasured as a precious treasure.
Welcomed the arrival of Mephisto.
The devil's face was filled with an intoxicated expression.
"The darkhold, the supreme masterpiece of Chthon."
Mephisto couldn't wait to open this taboo-filled grimoire.
Vast and boundless knowledge instantly washed over his consciousness.
Mephisto's eyes suddenly burst with eerie red light.
"Ah!"
"How wonderful, this is the invincible power I have longed for."
Under the Impact of this massive power.
The human appearance he used for disguise almost collapsed.
Mephisto took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the surging magic within his body.
Restabilized his disguise.
He casually tucked the darkhold into his arms.
Leaving this expanse of ruins with relaxed steps.
Watching the three people still fighting fiercely in the distance, Mephisto cracked a malicious smile at the corner of his mouth.
"All brawn, no brains."
"Playing with rules is the style of demon kings like us."
Mephisto chuckled softly, preparing to tear space to return to his territory.
As long as he returned to hell.
He would be able to completely absorb all the knowledge in the darkhold.
"Wait, what is that."
The moment he turned around.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a cluster of energy released by Wanda.
That cluster of scarlet magic, like a heavy artillery shell, directly blasted the crazed Agatha flying away.
"Something's wrong."
"The frequency of this fluctuation."
"Chaos Magic?"
"This is absolutely impossible!"
Mephisto suddenly widened his eyes, his face full of shock.
This power was definitely the legendary Chaos Magic!
This was the supreme mighty power capable of altering reality and touching the core of the Universe!
It was the foundational cornerstone constituting the multiverse!
In Mephisto's eyes, the red light surged, and greed was beyond words.
"This is simply a gift from fate to me."
"As long as I can get my hands on this Chaos Magic."
"The entire multiverse will have to dance to my tune!"
Mephisto stared closely at Wanda in the distance, trembling slightly with excitement.
This trip to Earth.
The harvest was far beyond his expectations.
It was simply a windfall blessing!
Mephisto decisively gave up the idea of escaping.
His ten fingers slightly spread open.
Several eerie silk threads invisible to the naked eye silently sank into Agatha's body.
This old Witch who had lived for several centuries.
Didn't even manage to struggle before completely reduced to the demon king's marionette.
Under Mephisto's secret blessing.
Agatha's combat power instantly soared.
The violent magic poured out, beating Wanda and Visionto have no power to parry, and they could only bitterly support.
At this critical juncture.
A roar of engines came from the sky, and a streamlined fighter jet sped over.
Accompanied by a gold-and-red mecha figure beside it.
The main force of the Avengers finally arrived.
It turned out.
Wanda and Vision, sensing that the opponent's strength was formidable, sent out a distress signal at the first moment.
Now.
Reinforcements in position.
The Avengers had been through many battles, and their coordination with each other was seamless.
The attacks were endless.
However.
They never dreamed.
The crazy woman in front of them was long no longer Agatha.
She had been completely taken over by the hell demon king.
What she used was entirely destructive power from hell.
Those dark magics were not only astonishingly lethal, but also carried an evil curse that disturbed the mind.
Not long after.
Several Avengers with slightly weaker wills began to feel their blood qi surging.
Their breathing gradually became heavy, and their attack rhythm was completely disrupted.
This was precisely the flaw Mephisto was waiting for.
He suddenly pulled those few invisible fine lines with both hands.
Between Agatha's hands instantly condensed a huge energy ball as dark as ink.
Boom!
The terrifying explosion swept across the entire scene.
Several Avengers rushing at the very front were blown away like kites with broken strings.
Even the Hulk, who had always been known for his thick skin, was blown all over with blood.
Mephisto, hidden behind the scenes, relying on merely a puppet.
Easily defeated the entire Avengers.
You must know.
The Avengers who had experienced the baptism of life and death were long no longer what they used to be.
Tony's armor ushered in a cross-era upgrade.
Banner also successfully integrated Hulk's invincible strength with his own supreme intelligence.
Not to mention.
There was also an infinitely potential Spider-Man added to the team.
The overall combat power had multiplied countless times compared to the past.
But even so.
In front of this hell demon king, they still appeared so vulnerable.
Mephisto manipulated Agatha.
Resembling an invincible demon god.
Ruthlessly rubbing this group of superheroes on the ground.
Even the Hulk transformed by Banner could not withstand such a barrage.
Shocking wounds split open on his sturdy green skin.
Iron Man's fate was even more miserable.
His proud new nano armor was forcefully shattered by more than half.
Revealing the fragile flesh and blood inside.
If Spider-Man hadn't reacted quickly and dragged him out of the explosion range with web-silk.
This battle-hardened billionaire would probably have gone to meet God.
