"Sun God, I am very sincere this time in wanting to resolve the past enmity between us. For my offense back then, I can now apologize and offer compensation."
Mephisto, not daring to let the Hell Lords provoke Kytheron any further, quickly stepped forward and expressed his wishes with apparent sincerity.
"Is that so? Is your sincerity to bring this group of rotten potatoes and smelly eggs to cheer you on?"
Kytheron's infuriating words instantly enraged the Hell Lords.
"You from the Multiverse, what did you say? Say it again if you dare!"
Lucifer raised an eyebrow, shook his huge, dark wings behind him, and spoke to Kytheron with a gloomy tone.
"I said, Mephisto couldn't possibly think that a few rotten potatoes and smelly eggs like you could threaten me, could he!"
"How about it, is that clear enough? If you still haven't heard, I can say it louder, loud enough for half of Hell to hear."
For the demons' request to repeat the insult, Kytheron naturally granted it unconditionally.
"Damn Multiversal Gods, you dare to disregard the dignity of us Hell Lords. We will never let you leave Hell easily!"
Hearing this, a group of Greater Demons immediately burned with rage, wishing they could rush forward and devour Kytheron alive, even his soul. However, seeing Kytheron's fearless demeanor made them hesitant to be the first to act.
After all, the cause of this matter was Mephisto, so Mephisto should be the one to lead the charge. They were more there to show support.
If they acted rashly, wouldn't they directly draw Kytheron's hatred onto themselves? They would never do such a clearly losing business.
Therefore, despite how fiercely these Demon Lords shouted, when it came to actually taking action, they were all incredibly cunning.
"Sun God, just state your terms directly. What price do I have to pay to resolve this enmity between us?"
"I believe that you, having just gone through a major battle not long ago, also wouldn't want to easily provoke another, even larger conflict, would you!"
"Since that's the case, why not have a good talk? It's always better to have one more friend than a group of enemies!"
At this point, Mephisto also stopped beating around the bush and directly revealed his bottom line to Kytheron, his tone becoming appropriately firmer.
He had realized by now that Kytheron was a stubborn blockhead who wouldn't listen to reason, and constantly being soft would only make Kytheron more fearless.
However, he had misjudged. Kytheron's fearlessness stemmed from his confidence in his own strength, not from Mephisto's so-called attitude.
The reason Kytheron could bicker with them here was to secretly confirm whether the arrivals were indeed just this group of Hell Lords.
At the same time, he was formulating the most suitable assassination plan in his mind, striving to kill one to two Greater Demons in the shortest possible time to deter the others.
After all, Hell was their home ground. If they truly recovered, this battle would become a protracted war, which was not the outcome Kytheron wanted to see.
"Heh heh! Friends, becoming friends with demons, that might be the most ridiculous thing in the Multiverse!"
"However, letting you off is not impossible. Since you initially wanted to seize my body, how about you become my slave for one hundred thousand years?"
"How about it? One hundred thousand years, that amount of time shouldn't be long for you, who has lived for hundreds of millions of years. Just grit your teeth, close and open your eyes, and it will be over!"
"As long as you agree, we will immediately sign a contract. The hatred between us will instantly vanish, and once the time is up, you will immediately regain your freedom. I will absolutely not interfere. How does that condition sound?"
"Think about it, exchanging one hundred thousand years now for countless hundreds of thousands of years in the future. This is a deal where you can't lose."
Kytheron was well aware of Mephisto's little schemes and directly proposed a seemingly very lenient condition.
One hundred thousand years, for these immortal Greater Demons, was indeed just a drop in the bucket, perhaps not even as long as a few deep sleeps. It certainly seemed like a good deal.
However, to make a Greater Demon who had reigned supreme in Hell for hundreds of millions of years become another's slave, this was an immense humiliation.
In this move, Kytheron was purely trying to disgust Mephisto.
In Kytheron's opinion, how could a Greater Demon like him accept such a humiliating condition? So, Kytheron had already prepared in secret, waiting for Mephisto to turn hostile, then he would unleash a full-power, certain-kill attack on Tog as quickly as possible.
Because after comparing them, Kytheron felt that he was slightly weaker among this group of Hell Lords.
Mephisto's reaction hadn't come yet, but the group of Hell Lords was already on the verge of an uproar!
"Multiversal Gods, you actually want to make a Hell Lord your slave? You must be dreaming!"
"Demons are free. You do not have the qualifications to enslave a Greater Demon!"
"Mephisto, being insulted like this, do you still want to continue to humble yourself? Has your pride as a Hell Lord been scared away?"
...
Under the gaze of the Hell Lords, Mephisto took a few steps forward without a word.
Instantly, the tense, confrontational atmosphere between the two sides began a brief clash.
In an instant, many low-level demons in Hell went insane, launching suicidal attacks at any of their kind they could see, then perishing together.
Even the high-level demon commanders were trembling.
Now, it could be said that as long as Mephisto gave a signal, all the Hell Lords would unleash all their power on Kytheron in an instant.
And Kytheron would also execute a sure-kill attack with his strongest power.
However, to the astonishment of both Kytheron and all the Greater Demons, Mephisto did give a signal, but it was a signal of submission, kneeling on one knee before Kytheron.
For a moment, even Kytheron himself was stunned!
His brain was working furiously, simulating countless possible reactions Mephisto could make in a fraction of a second, but the one reaction he hadn't considered was Mephisto submitting to him.
"Sun God, I accept your terms. I am willing to be your slave for one hundred thousand years!"
Mephisto's words instantly made the Hell Lords lose their composure!
"Mephisto, are you trying to betray Hell?"
"As a Hell Lord, you actually submit to a Multiversal God. You are a shameful traitor!"
"Mephisto, you're looking for death!"
Compared to the other Hell Lords, Lucifer's face had almost turned as black as the wings behind him, and he snarled angrily.
Then, a long sword burning with dark flames appeared, and instantly flew from his hand, piercing directly towards Mephisto's heart.
