Chapter 140 Using Anya to Control Hawke (First Update, Please Subscribe!)
"Resurrection is possible."

"But first you must prepare the body to house your soul."

"..."

Hawke's expression froze once again upon hearing Mephisto's words.

He was a little confused.

"and many more……"

Hawke snapped out of his daze, shook his head, and looked at Mephisto: "Can't you just resurrect him directly?"

He remembered that Mephisto had this ability.

Mephisto and Hawke exchanged glances, a slight smile playing on their lips: "Of course, if you're willing to play dumb and pretend you can't see that the body your sister was resurrected in is being maintained by my energy."

Hawke's thoughts raced.

His heterochromatic golden pupils, now tinged with crimson, contracted rapidly several times in a short period of time.

after awhile.

Hawke took a deep breath and looked at Mephisto sitting opposite him with a serious expression.

"So, you mean that as long as I can find a body to house my sister's soul, you can resurrect her?"

“That’s right. Once you find the body, I will release your sister’s soul.”

Mephisto nodded without hesitation, affirming Hawke's statement.

Upon hearing this, Hawke exhaled a breath of stale air, then looked at Mephisto with a serious expression once again.

Just as he was about to express his sincere gratitude...

Mephisto then changed the subject again: "If you hadn't summoned your sister's soul back a few days ago..."

Hawke's heart skipped a beat.

"What's the meaning."

"You know that during this period, all dimensions of Earth have closed all passageways for fear of the impact of the World Tree's energy, right?"

"know."

Hawke nodded, then looked at Mephisto with a puzzled expression.

"But what does this have to do with my sister?"

"Your sister's soul was affected by this energy wave."

"rub!"

Hawke jumped up from the sofa instantly: "What?"

Mephisto, sitting opposite, looked up and said, "But don't worry, she's fine for now."

Hawke closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then sat down again.

Mephisto waited until Hawke was seated before continuing to speak.

“If your sister doesn’t come out of the gates of hell to meet you, I can resurrect her at any time as long as you find her body.”

“But that won’t work now. Your sister now carries not only the aura of my hell, but also the aura of Helheim.”

The World Tree experiences an energy vibration that occurs once every few thousand years, and all dimensions affected by this energy are eroded and assimilated into the World Tree universe.

This energy is powerful; otherwise, Malekith, the leader of the Dark Elves, wouldn't have thought of using it to turn the entire Nine Realms into a true dark world.

Although Malekith failed, the energy vibration of the World Tree still occurred.

For this reason, almost all dimensional beings active on Earth have returned to their own dimensions and closed their dimensional gates during this period.

If dimensions are like this, how much more so the soul?

Although Anya had only stepped out of the gates of Hell, not out of its borders, she was still swept away by the invisible energy of the World Tree.

Although it wasn't much, it was still a hassle.

Simply put, Anya was previously an indisputable soul belonging to the Hell dimension, but that's no longer the case. From a certain perspective, a part of Anya's soul now belongs to Helheim.

only……

"Helm's Underworld?"

Hawke recalled the desolate kingdom he had seen when the Nine Realms converged, and frowned: "Hela, the Goddess of Death?"

Mephisto nodded.

"Yes."

"She was sealed away by Odin."

"But she did not die."

Mephisto said this, then changed the subject again, letting out a cold laugh: "And she also tricked my son into running away from Hell, trying to use him to get herself released from the seal ahead of time."

Hawke frowned as he looked at Mephisto.

"The Demonic Heart of the Witch?"

"Yes."

Mephisto shook his head, raised his wine glass, and said to Hawke with an expression that seemed to say, "This is a disgrace to our family, and you're just making a fool of yourself." He continued, "If my stupid son finds the four elemental demons and then uses the last shockwaves from the World Tree's tremor to rebuild a new Hell, then Hela can gain temporary relief, and your sister's soul will belong to Hela."

Hawke couldn't help but frown.

"How can this be allowed!"

"She is the goddess of death."

Not all gods are qualified to be called gods.

Although dimensional gods are also gods, they are no match for true gods.

For example, Hella.

This is the goddess of death who controls the souls of all living beings who die in a universe outside of wartime.

Don't ask why the souls of those who died in wartime don't belong to her.

Because that belongs to Valhalla.

Hawke now understood why Mephisto was there.

"You want me to help you stop the Witchheart Demon's plan to recreate hell?"

"Yes."

Mephisto nodded and looked at Hawke: "But it's not just for me, it's also for our sister."

Hawke's mind raced as he silently observed Mephisto: "If I stop the Heart Demon, you can resurrect my sister after I find a place to house her soul?"

Mephisto nodded.

"Yes." "I understand."

Hawke nodded thoughtfully, then asked Mephisto one last question.

"Where is the Demonic Heart of Witchcraft now?"

"Texas. The Four Elemental Demons were in Texas before the Hell Dimension closed. The aftershocks of the World Tree's energy are still ongoing, although they are nearing their end. However, I need to stabilize Hell, and I need to fight Hela and stop her from taking your sister's soul. Therefore, I cannot go there in person."

The Four Elemental Demons, despite having "demon" in their names, are not demons from the Hell dimension.

Instead, it's a native Earth demon.

To be precise, they weren't even demons, but rather demons created by reconstructing the four basic elements of earth, water, wind, and fire during the time the Earth fell from the World Tree.

In the world of Eastern fantasy, this could be called human transformation!
Hawke listened to Mephisto's explanation, nodded, then downed his drink in one gulp and said to Mephisto, "I'll handle this."

Say it.

He placed the empty glass on the table, then got up from the sofa and turned to walk towards the entrance of the Hell Tavern.

soon.

Just a second ago, Gwen was wondering where Hawke had gone, and the next second, Hawke reappeared from the spot where he had just disappeared.

In Gwen's eyes, it took only about a second from Hawk's disappearance to his reappearance.

but……

The wine tastes authentic.

Gwen looked at Hawke, who had reopened the car door and gotten in, with some suspicion. However, seeing that Hawke was silent, she didn't say anything either. She stepped on the gas and drove straight to Palm Street, then parked the car in the garage.

after an hour.

In the master bedroom on the third floor.

Wearing her pajamas, Gwen came out of the bathroom and blinked at Hawke's back as he stood on the master bedroom balcony, gazing into the distance, seemingly lost in thought.

at this time.

Hawke turned and walked into the bedroom. He looked at Gwen, who had already finished showering, smiled slightly, and then briefly described his conversation with Mephisto at the Hell Tavern.

After listening to Hawke's story, Gwen's face lit up with a happy expression.

"So, if you can help Mephisto stop that so-called Witchheart Demon, Mephisto can help you resurrect your sister?"

"That's what he said."

"Uh……"

Gwen paused slightly upon hearing Hawke's words, then looked at him and asked, "You don't believe Mephisto's guarantee?"

Hawke nodded without hesitation and looked at Gwen: "Gwen, never believe what the devil says, not even a punctuation mark."

Gwen frowned: "So, you mean Mephisto is lying to you?"

Hawke shook his head again.

Gwen was stunned.

Hawke smiled and explained to Gwen, "Mephisto said he would release my sister's soul, and he wasn't lying, but did you notice that he gave a condition?"

Gwen's thoughts raced.

next second.

Her eyes lit up.

"You need to find a body that can house Anya's soul first."

"Yes."

"hiss……"

Gwen gasped: "How are we supposed to find this?"

Hawke shrugged.

"I'm not worried about that, it's easy."

"easy?"

"Cloning will solve the problem."

Hawke smiled.

The Marvel Universe may not have much else, but it's packed with cutting-edge technology.

It's just cloning.

Although he hadn't heard of any company currently researching this cloning technology, he didn't need to research it; there must be, and it was probably already quite mature.

Again.

If not on Earth, surely there are other planets? At worst, we could take a space flight to Xandar, or even Sovereigny.

The universe is so vast, finding a body for my sister should be easy.

But that's not the point.

Instead, Mephisto provided this prerequisite.

Hawke explained to Gwen, "Do you think we should deal with your sister's body first, or the matter of the Witchheart Demon?"

Gwen blinked, thinking about what Hawk had just said about the Heart Demon: "The Heart Demon, I suppose. He's already come to Earth to find that Four Elemental Demon."

Hawke nodded: "Yes, what if Mephisto regrets it after I successfully help him deal with the Heart Demon?"

Gwen paused slightly, looking at the smiling Hawke.

Hawke smiled and said, "I believe what Mephisto just told me is true, but the truth now doesn't mean the truth in the future. Demons are not trustworthy, just like Ace said that super beasts can never feel pain."

Gwen continued to blink.

"Ace, Super Beast, what is this?"

"It does not matter."

Hawke waved his hand decisively and looked at Gwen.

"The important thing is that I have no guarantee that Mephisto will actually keep his promise, and at the same time, I feel that Mephisto is testing me."

"Testing?"

"Yes, a test!"

Hawke looked at Gwen and voiced his guess.

“If I really help him get rid of the Witchheart Demon, I’m worried that Mephisto will use Anya to control Hawke in the future!”
