Shuma-Gorath's wail spread through the sky.
Humans could not transmit sound through space, but that was not difficult for powerful beings like them.
After all, sound was not the only thing that could serve as communication.
Sound was merely vibration at a certain frequency.
By using energy to simulate it, it could be transmitted in an instant.
And so, Mephisto and Kaluu heard Shuma-Gorath's agonized scream.
They could not even describe what kind of pain could make someone produce a sound like that.
Shuma-Gorath had even lost the backbone of a mighty expert.
He could no longer conceal his suffering.
However, this also allowed Mephisto and Kaluu to confirm one thing.
The curse Shuma-Gorath had used was indeed incredibly abnormal.
Even he himself had been tortured into this state.
They had best not provoke this fellow.
Fortunately, Karl was currently comprehending the Law of the Abyss and perfecting his own universe.
For the moment, he paid no attention to these three experience packs.
That truly allowed Mephisto to breathe a sigh of relief.
He had still been worrying about what he should do to escape once Karl came over.
More specifically, he was wondering exactly how he could throw Shuma-Gorath out as cover in a more elegant manner.
As for saving Shuma-Gorath's life? Forget it. He was a Hell Lord.
He lived by fraud, schemes, and deception. What was credibility?
To him, it was worth less than a tiny speck of dust.
When he saw that Karl had not come over, Mephisto truly relaxed.
He hurriedly said,
"Don't worry, Shuma-Gorath. I'll help you!"
As he spoke, Mephisto used his powerful strength and tried to assist him.
Infernal Power poured directly into Shuma-Gorath's body, as if Mephisto wanted to help him suppress the Abyssal Curse.
"Damn it!"
Shuma-Gorath's eye turned green.
It truly changed color in the literal sense.
That was the effect of the Infernal Power.
And the pain in his body did not decrease at all.
Think about it.
What were Abyssal Maggots? They were aggregates of evil thoughts.
And what was the power of Hell?
It was absolutely one of the most evil powers in this world.
After absorbing this power, the Abyssal Maggots seemed to go berserk, and their destruction became even more ferocious.
How could Shuma-Gorath's eye not turn green?
Shuma-Gorath was filled with grief and fury.
He felt that sooner or later, he would die at the hands of this useless trash, Mephisto.
Seeing that something was wrong, Shuma-Gorath also understood.
If he did not pay a price, there was absolutely no way he could expel the Abyssal Maggots inside his body.
If this continued, even his own strength would be weakened by thirty percent.
With extreme caution, Shuma-Gorath directly took out a crystal from his portable space.
Without another word, he crushed it.
Crack.
There was a crisp sound.
Shuma-Gorath's body immediately changed.
The wounds on his body were instantly repaired, and all the strange lights within his eye vanished.
Even the tentacles that had been severed had already grown back.
However, his expression still did not look very good. He even looked a little heartbroken.
There was no other reason.
This was also an extremely precious treasure.
It could store the state of his body at a certain point in time. After it was used, no matter what kind of injury he had suffered, it could restore his body to that stored state.
He did not have many treasures like this.
This time, his losses could be called disastrous!
And all of it was thanks to this teammate.
Shuma-Gorath glared fiercely at Mephisto with his huge eyeball.
"No need to look anymore."
"This kid was definitely hiding his strength."
"He was able to resist my curse, and he even used two Star-Shattering Legions to withstand it."
"Use all our trump cards."
"Otherwise, all of us will die today!"
Shuma-Gorath said viciously.
If not for the fact that a great enemy stood before them, he would have killed Mephisto on the spot.
Mephisto also felt a little awkward.
"Brother Shuma-Gorath is right."
"I agree with him. Kaluu, what do you say?"
"You didn't leave yourself without any trump cards, did you? If that's really the case, then you can only take the hit for us."
Sure enough, Shuma-Gorath shifted his attention.
He turned his gaze toward Kaluu beside them.
Kaluu also felt bitter inside.
Had he known earlier, he never should have cooperated with these two monsters.
Most of the time, he had been wandering through the Deep-Layer Dimension.
He had only found a passage back to the main universe with great difficulty.
Where would he get that many trump cards?
Weren't they making things difficult for him?
However, facing these two great demons who would devour him without hesitation, he naturally could not say that he had none.
"Of course I have a trump card."
"If I say it out loud, it'll scare both of you."
Kaluu snorted coldly and spoke.
That posture, that manner, was perfectly smooth.
Even two incomparably cunning great demons like Shuma-Gorath and Mephisto were fooled by him.
If no one gave him an Oscar statuette for this, it would truly be unfair to him.
"In that case, good."
"Even if this kid is a Single-Universe-level powerhouse, we'll still make him pay dearly."
"Single-Universe-level. That is not impossible to deal with."
A sinister light flashed through Shuma-Gorath's huge eyeball.
He was the same as Mephisto.
Mephisto was the ruler of Hell, so he could naturally unleash his immense power in Hell.
Within his own territory, he could even suppress a Single-Universe-level being.
But once he left Hell, his strength would decline.
Moreover, the longer he stayed away, the weaker his strength would become.
Shuma-Gorath was the same.
He belonged to the chaotic Deep-Layer Dimension.
In that chaotic domain, unless it was one of those unspeakable great existences at the Multiverse level, anyone else who fell into his hands was nothing but easy prey.
He had devoured Single-Universe-level powerhouses more than once before, and he had swallowed countless worlds.
Unfortunately, this was the normal universe.
His strength had been weakened by an extreme amount.
If he wanted to unleash unbelievable power, it would not be that simple.
The three of them discussed for a while, and then Mephisto was the one who spoke.
The truth was, if Karl really possessed Single-Universe-level strength, then running was simply impossible.
They could only stake everything on a desperate fight. Only then would they have a sliver of hope.
Not long after the three of them made their decision, Karl flew over.
At this moment, he had gained an even deeper comprehension of the Law of the Abyss.
The universe inside his body had also become a little stronger.
Naturally, the power it fed back to Karl had also become even more powerful.
Of course, he hoped to earn even more supreme treasures from these three experience packs.
When they saw Karl come over, the trio released powerful auras.
"Kid."
"Let's end today's matter here. I admit it. We are not your match."
"How about we meet with a smile and let our grudges vanish?"
Shuma-Gorath said loudly.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Karl's mouth.
Meet with a smile and let their grudges vanish?
Dream on!
"What if I say no?"
Karl sneered and spoke.
"Then don't blame us for being impolite!"
Shuma-Gorath roared.
"Dimensional Projection!"
Behind Shuma-Gorath, a chaotic dimension appeared.
Mephisto also let out a cold snort.
The projection of Hell emerged behind him.
Kaluu's face was also full of profound mystery.
Yet nothing appeared behind him at all.
That made the other three people unable to figure out the depth of his true strength.
