The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 25 Turning the corner into safety
"Finally solved..."

Carter lowered his head slightly and reached out to press down the brim of his hat. He sighed softly with an expression of relief.

"Crack... crack... crack... the sin... is... judged."

Johnny on the side stammered out these words.

After he finished speaking, his slightly confused eyes slowly turned to Weiss.

Weiss subconsciously avoided his sight, frowned slightly, and said angrily: "Asshole, don't look at me!"

"It seems that Mr. Wizard is not a good person."

Carter raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his tone full of ridicule.

"Yes, wizards are cruel..."

Weiss was stunned when he heard this.

There were clearly only three people present, so where did the voice of the fourth person come from?
He frowned and pointed his wand warily in the direction of the sound.

I saw a gray-haired man standing there quietly. He was dressed very elegantly, holding an exquisite cane in his hand, and exuding a mysterious and dangerous aura.

"Mephisto!!"

When Carter saw the man, he was shocked and fired two shots at the man without hesitation.

However, the bullet passed through Mephisto's body like an illusory object without causing him any harm.

Johnny rushed over at great speed, trying to punch Mephisto hard in the face.

Not surprisingly, Mephisto only needed to use a look to make Johnny stand still as if he was under a spell.

"It breaks my heart that my knight should be so rude to me."

Mephisto slowly took out a white handkerchief and gently wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, outlining a disdainful smile.

Weiss' heart tightened and he slowly stepped back, gradually increasing the distance between himself and Mephisto.

At the same time, he was rapidly calculating in his mind when he would have the opportunity to use "Apparition" to escape from this dangerous place.

Johnny and Carter signed a contract with Mephisto and became his employees in a sense, and a very special kind.

Weiss wanted nothing to do with this devil from hell.

"And you, little wizard." Mephisto's deep gaze fell on Wes with interest, as if he was examining a new toy.

"In the 'future' I predicted, you don't exist."

When Weiss heard this, he immediately planned to use the panel to travel to another world. Just as he was thinking, Mephisto's hand suddenly fell on Weiss's shoulder like a ghost.

【when? 】

Weiss was shocked and his body tensed up instantly, not daring to act rashly.

"You ruined my plan. How can I compensate you?"

Mephisto narrowed his eyes slightly and forced out a few tears, which looked very artificial. "My beloved child was brutally murdered by you. Can you understand the grief I feel at this moment?"

However, seeing that the three of them were not cooperating at all, Mephisto gradually lost his desire to perform. He curled his lips and said, "You guys really don't understand art. My performance just now is worthy of at least an Oscar."

Mephisto slowly opened his five fingers, and the "Contract of Saint Vanganza" flew out from Weiss's chest as if it had life, and landed steadily in Mephisto's hands.

"Ah, the years of hard work have finally paid off."

Mephisto had a smug smile on his face and chanted a mysterious spell.

In an instant, the "Saint Vanganza Contract" shone brightly, and the light was so strong that people could not look directly at it.

A moment later, the light disappeared, replaced by 3000 holy souls floating in the air.

When these souls saw Mephisto, they were so frightened that they wanted to flee.

"That won't do. You are God's people. How can you not keep your promise? This is against the commandments."

Mephisto frowned slightly, opened his right hand, and a powerful suction surged out, trapping the 3000 souls, preventing them from escaping. "Hurry and think of a solution," Carter said anxiously, his voice tense. "Once Mephisto absorbs these souls and opens the gates of Hell, it's all over."

"Why are you looking at me? Can I deal with a boss of this level?"

Wes was also very panicked at this time. He was thinking about whether he could escape while Mephisto was absorbing his soul, but his intuition told him that if he did so, the end would be very miserable.

Weiss was in a state of indecision, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, an unexpected person stood up.

The old priest walked towards Mephisto calmly step by step, and the howling wind around him seemed to have no effect on him at all.

"Damn it!" Mephisto's face changed drastically when he saw the old priest. He said in astonishment, "That idiot Dormammu didn't trap you?"

A shadow suddenly emerged from the old priest's body, and the shadow gradually became clearer. It was Master Ancient One.

The old pastor was stunned for a moment, then ran towards the church.

"Long time no see." Gu Yi's voice was very gentle, like a spring breeze, as if he had met an old friend who had not seen him for many years.

"Are you here to expel me? This is just a clone of mine. There will be no loss even if you abandon it." Mephisto was stunned at first, and then pretended to be enlightened.

"Oh, you're here for this contract."

Mephisto proudly took out the "Contract of Saint Vanganza" and shook it in his hand.

"But this is a contract they signed with me voluntarily. I am only here to fulfill this belated promise. Even you cannot deny this contract."

Gu Yi nodded and said calmly, "You are right."

"Then what are you here for? Are you here to witness me opening the gates of hell..." Mephisto felt uneasy.

A spear suddenly appeared in Gu Yi's hand. The style of this spear was a bit simple and even shabby.

However, the tip of the spear was stained with blood—the blood of Jesus.

"Lance of Longinus!" Mephisto's face was extremely ugly. He pretended to be calm and asked, "He has joined forces with you!!"

"It's just a temporary cooperation. What I want is the stability of the Earth. He needs these 3000 Holy Spirits."

Ancient One shrugged and said calmly, "You know, I was too harsh at the beginning. He suffered heavy losses and needs to continue to replenish his troops."

"Damn!!"

"shameless!!"

"How could He do this? He's even more shameless than a devil like me!!"

Amidst Mephisto's helpless expression, the Spear of Longinus suddenly pierced the "Contract of Saint Vanganza".

Under the power of the gun tip, the "Saint Vanganza Contract" turned into ashes bit by bit.

"Forget it," Mephisto's expression instantly turned extremely cold, as if he had become a different person, "It's just one of countless arrangements."

Master Ancient One ignored him and just stood there quietly.

Mephisto took off his hat, bent down slightly, and bowed gently: "Farewell, Supreme Sorcerer, I look forward to seeing you next time."

After saying that, his body slowly disappeared, and at the last moment of disappearing, he glanced at Weiss.

A magnificent gate suddenly appeared in the sky, with angels surrounding it.

Angels sang sacred songs softly.

Gu Yi waved his sleeves, and the magnificent gate and angel disappeared in an instant.

3000 holy spirits bowed to Ancient One in thanks, and finally gathered into a group, turning into a stream of light that rushed into the sky.

Only a fist-sized crystal ball was left, floating quietly in the air.
