Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 225 Mephisto
It's late at night and people are quiet.

All the damaged experimental equipment was removed, and the laboratory was covered again with new one-way glass.

After finally managing to temporarily isolate the so-called 'dimensional fusion spectacle,' Luca and the others had all returned to their rooms to rest.

However, in this corner of the laboratory that had already been simply tidied up.

A scarlet, ugly finger suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Immediately afterwards, this finger, which had clearly detached from its original body, seemed to possess an independent life. It flexibly 'stretched' its 'waist' and then stood up straight.

After cautiously observing its surroundings, the finger hopped and skipped its way to the semi-transparent hibernation pod where Justin Hammer's body was stored.

Immediately afterwards, the finger, as if it had no physical form, pierced straight through the outer shell of the hibernation pod and entered Justin Hammer's body.

next moment.

With a 'bang', Justin Hammer's body exploded into a cloud of red smoke, floating outside the hibernation pod.

Then a middle-aged man in a red and black suit, with an elegant demeanor, walked out of the red smoke with measured steps.

As the man fully revealed himself, the smoke behind him seemed to be drawn by the airflow, all gathering and solidifying towards his chest.

Ultimately, it transformed into a vibrant, scarlet rose, adorning the left breast pocket of the suit.

"Hmm~ Earth~"

The man first stretched his body a little, then savored the air around him before looking around the laboratory with great interest.

However, his appearance was clearly not a small commotion.

He would even occasionally pick up some small trinkets from the laboratory and play with them casually.

But the artificial intelligence constantly monitored in the laboratory did not react at all.

It was as if, from Hakimi's surveillance perspective, everything was as it always was, as if this person didn't exist at all.

However, men's interest in the laboratory comes and goes quickly.

After glancing at it briefly, I ignored it.

Finally, the gaze was drawn to the center of the laboratory, to the red and blue rift entangled with fragments of a black stone tablet.

Although at this moment, the area around the red and blue rift was filled with various sealing runes and technological barriers.

But the man completely ignored all of that, staring at the scene with mesmerized eyes; he had seen this beautiful sight countless times before.

"Dimensional fusion! No matter how many times I see it, it's always so beautiful!"

The man gently stroked the barrier that Luca and the others had used to isolate the rift, a slight hint of disdain tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"It's a pity that we can't contact the original body anymore? The Ancient One really went to such lengths to isolate us."

"Let me withdraw some of my power first and go check on my Holy Spirit."

After saying this, the man reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the fusion rift and instead walked lightly to the cages where the demons were imprisoned.

The man didn't make any big movements; he simply casually wiped the barrier outside the cage.

The next moment, within this cage combining magic and technology, demons of all shapes and sizes instantly shattered without warning.

The dry, cracked skin burst open piece by piece.

These rare demons, which Luca had originally intended to study later, were now seemingly burned away instantly by the scorching magma that suddenly rose from their bodies.

Before they could even utter a scream, all the demons had turned to ashes, which slowly flowed and gathered in the man's hand, eventually coalescing into an antique-looking, dark gray gentleman's cane. After casually twirling the cane, he walked lightly towards the lower floors of the building outside the laboratory.

just
"Do not!!!"

The man who was supposed to take the elevator down to the temporary ward in the building did not see the perfect masterpiece he had been looking forward to.

Yes, this man is naturally Mephisto's clone who smuggled himself over from the Hell dimension.

However, his original purpose in coming here was to 'reclaim' the artificial Holy Spirit body he had risked his life to create, so that he could truly descend to Earth.

However, at this moment, he had not even seen a glimpse of a half-finished Holy Spirit body, let alone a complete one.

Anger instantly filled my heart.

At this moment, Mephisto no longer suppressed or conserved his power.

A surge of flames mixed with an eerie red light exploded around Mephisto, completely destroying the makeshift hospital room.

Despite being a demon lord, Mephisto is not some old-fashioned person who doesn't embrace new things.

Naturally, they knew how to use magical abilities to evade modern technological surveillance.

However, now that he has lost his objective, there seems to be no need for him to continue hiding.

Looking around at the destruction caused by the explosion, and hearing the incredibly annoying building alarm in my ears.

Mephisto forcibly suppressed his anger and quickly recalled his previous plans.

'Although the woman seemed shrewd, she used the promise of seeing her husband again as leverage, and her maternal love for her son as the bond, to persuade her to willingly fulfill the contract, splitting her soul in two. The parts of her heart, stripped of desire and evil, remained in hell, while the remaining pure soul stayed on earth.'

'Then, expending a great deal of energy, the distorted power of blessing was projected into the apple beside her, inspiring a drive for good in her pure, desireless soul, gradually leading her toward the path of the Holy Spirit.'

Ultimately, the evil within him is returned and merged back into him, allowing the Holy Spirit to fall and become a perfect vessel for humanity.

Everything was going so smoothly, and the portal that appeared out of nowhere in hell just happened to be near the location of that woman's body.

I thought that this time I could not only reap the rewards ahead of time, but also discover a brand new dimension waiting to be devoured.

It was clearly two happy things overlapping.

But why?!

"The Ancient One!!!"

Mephisto, his eyes darting around, subconsciously forced the name out of his throat.

Although he still didn't understand why the vessel he had carefully prepared had disappeared.

However, just as everyone immediately thinks of Mephisto whenever a demon commits evil deeds.

All his plans on Earth, if they went wrong along the way, were inevitably related to that bastard, the Ancient One!

Moreover, Mephisto would never forget that last time, the Ancient One used that blue-dimensional energy to shoot him in the face!
"You like to play dirty tricks, huh?! Well, I'll play along with you!"

With a 'thud,' the cane slammed into the ground.

The surrounding flames immediately flowed back into the scepter as if the tide had reversed.

Since we are prepared to fight the opponent with our existing strength, we must not waste a single bit of our strength.

As the surrounding firelight completely dissipated, Mephisto's figure slowly disappeared into the darkness.
