Chapter 96 Mephisto, Settle the Interest

The fiery hell, Mephisto's palace.

A musical is being performed here.

The title of the show is "Fear Itself".

Mephisto is both the screenwriter and the main character.

At this moment, there was only one audience member, Mephisto.

Leaning back on his throne, Mephisto watched the performance below, lost in thought.

He is reminiscing about past glories.

In the event of the source of fear, He single-handedly instigated numerous hell lords and gods to fall into infighting.

Ultimately, the fisherman reaps the benefits and ascends to the throne of Satan.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long.

"Sigh~"

Mephisto sighed deeply. After falling from Satan, He suffered another Waterloo on Earth-404.

Being extorted for two billion units of energy is truly adding insult to injury.

However, in Mephisto's perception, His energy was not absorbed, but stored in a place on Earth-404.

He still has a chance to reclaim this energy.

Furthermore, He has already devised a plan.

"I don't know how Hope van Dyne's operation is progressing."

"Only by finding Agatha can we proceed with the next step of the plan."

"Damn it, if I hadn't been seriously injured before, Agatha wouldn't have been able to cut off contact and escape."

Enraged, Mephisto slammed his fist on the throne.

The demons below, who were putting on a great show, thought that Mephisto was dissatisfied with their performance and couldn't help but tremble.

The fiery hell, the River Styx.

While Mephisto was singing and dancing, Russell and his companions quietly infiltrated His Hell dimension.

"Is this hell? The final resting place for souls?"

Looking before me, countless souls floated and sank aimlessly in the River Styx.

Gwen, Wanda, George, and Pietro whispered among themselves.

His tone was tinged with sadness.

The bald Ancient One offered words of comfort:

"This is already quite good. For these souls, it's just a long sleep."

The group nodded in silence.

In this world where countless gods and demons exist.

If death is merely a long sleep, then it is indeed a blessing.

After calming the group down, the bald-headed Guy called on Russell to take action and retrieve the souls of Helen and Wanda's parents from the River Styx.

"Russell, come here. Be careful, use your elemental energy, don't disturb the spirits here."

Russell nodded, releasing his attribute points.

Carefully avoiding other spirits, they retrieved the souls of Helen and Wanda's parents from the River Styx.

Even though Russell was being careful enough, ripples still appeared on the River Styx.

These ripples were also sensed by Mephisto, who was in the palace.

"Who is it? Where did this thief come from, daring to steal a soul from the River Styx of the great Demon King, the Lord of Hell, the supreme ruler of the Demon Realm, Mephisto?"

As Mephisto's voice rang out, the hellfire on the banks of the River Styx surged, sealing off the surrounding spacetime.

Amidst the endless flames, Mephisto, along with his troupe of dancers, suddenly teleported to the scene.

Further away, countless demons from hell were also alarmed by the commotion.

All eyes turned to them.

Swish!

The moment Mephisto appeared, three gazes fell upon him.

The owners of the gazes were Russell, the white-bearded Ancient One, and the bald Ancient One.

At the same time, Mephisto's gaze swept over the three of them in turn.

The two sides remained silent, and tensions rose sharply.

"Who are these three people? They dare to face the king directly without any fear."

"Whoever they are, they're all dead."

"That's hard to say. They must have something to rely on if they dare to come to the River Styx to steal things."

"That's hard to say. You don't know, some humans are incredibly daring."

In the distance, the demons who witnessed this scene began to discuss it amongst themselves.

Although their opinions differed, they generally agreed that...

Mephisto will surely display his might and uphold the dignity of the Lord of Hell.

"snort!"

Mephisto snorted coldly.

Crimson energy swept across the sky, engulfing Russell and his companions.

Morpheus flashed, carrying endless hellfire, and plunged into the crimson energy.

In the next instant, the hellfire ignited the crimson energy, turning it into a sea of ​​fire.

"Blazing Domain! The King's Blazing Domain!"

The demons cried out in alarm.

They never expected that Wang would unleash such a powerful move right from the start.

"It seems these thieves are quite capable, managing to force the King to use his Blazing Domain."

"But it's estimated that it won't be long before it turns to ashes, leaving not even a soul behind."

"How pathetic, why did they have to anger the king?"

In the minds of the demons, Russell and his companions had already been sentenced to death.

The situation inside the raging inferno was completely different from what they had imagined.

After using the raging flames to block his subordinates' senses.

Mephisto, his face dark, questioned:

"What are you doing in my hell?"

Has my plan been discovered?

Russell smiled:

"Old Mo, you don't mind if I take a few souls, do you?"

"I mind! I really mind!"

Mephisto said in a cold voice.

At the same time, I felt relieved.

"It seems they didn't discover my plan. They simply came in to take a few souls."

"The last deal is over. If you want to take your soul from me, you will have to pay a price."

cost?

If there's a price to pay, why did Russell, Whitebeard, and Bald Ancient One all have to come together?

"Old Mo, that's where you're wrong."

"The last transaction, from the moment it was confirmed until you paid off your energy."

It took approximately four days (in real-world time).

"Do you need to settle the interest for these four days?"

Mephisto remained silent.

He had never seen such a shameless person!

"This is my hell. It's not a place you can come and go as you please."

Mephisto may have been spouting harsh words, but his actions betrayed his true intentions.

The surrounding hellfire showed no sign of approaching Russell and his companions.

Russell, Whitebeard, and Bald Ancient One remained silent.

It's just taking one step forward.

Take another step forward.

"Hell's authority to contain souls comes from death. You arbitrarily reverse life and death; aren't you afraid I'll complain to death?"

Mephisto said sternly.

He really didn't want to fight Russell and the others at this time.

Not worth the candle.

But if we just let them leave, what if they come back later?

One step back leads to another.

Whitebeard Gu Yi chuckled softly, pointing to himself:

"I'm with Eternity."

As he spoke, he took another step forward.

Russell and the bald Ancient One followed in perfect unison.

Mephisto's expression kept changing as Russell and his two companions pressed closer.

Finally, with a cold snort, he released the spacetime confinement around him.

"Consider this interest, but don't let it happen again. Get out."

Russell and his two companions didn't mind Mephisto's ramblings.

A portal appeared, carrying the others away.

The moment the portal closed, cheers erupted from the other side.

"Look, those people's souls have indeed been burned to ashes."
