Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit.

Chapter 36 Mephisto's Escape

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground vibrated rhythmically, and the vibrations gradually spread to more distant places.

Thousands of meters above the ground, only two afterimages could be seen intertwining and flashing, like ghosts. But each collision would create a shockwave, blowing away the dust.

In a single second, the two sides may collide hundreds or even thousands of times.

The speed displayed in this battle is beyond the reach of the naked eye.

On a mountaintop far away, a dusty and disheveled Nyddy stared blankly at the area ahead. She had never seen a battle of this magnitude before, having once been just an ordinary 17-year-old student.

Even the battle between Matthew and Jennifer, who was possessed by a demon, in Devil Pot Town was far less intense than this one.

Keep in mind that she was probably five or six thousand meters away from that area, but she still felt that suffocating sensation.

Nydia couldn't even imagine whether she would have the courage to fight if one of these two were her enemy.

"Jennifer, maybe we should run. I don't feel safe here."

After silently calculating the distance and feeling the pressure, Nydy was still trembling slightly. She made a suggestion to Jennifer.

She felt like she was going to explode if she looked at it any longer.

"No, Nydy, don't you think this is too exciting?"

"We are enjoying a magnificent performance, where human heroes are fighting against the demon king of hell to save the princess."

"It's so romantic, Nydy, can't you feel it?"

"This is our romance."

Nydy heard Jennifer's excited scream in her head.

"No, I just feel that this place is a hundred times more dangerous than when those government agents were chasing us," Nydy immediately retorted.

She always felt like she made a deal with Mephisto, and after Jennifer's soul was resurrected, Jennifer's personality became more lively.

"Don't do this, Nydy. If we leave now, things might not go well for us."

Jennifer's initially excited voice suddenly turned serious.

Nydy frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

While the battle raged on, the two sisters had already started discussing things.

"Don't forget, Nydia, you made a deal with Mephisto for my sake. If you die, our souls will belong to him forever."

"This is a fair trade, Jennifer."

"But that's not what I think, Nydy. Don't forget he's the Demon King. Even that cool guy said he has no credibility whatsoever."

Despite Jennifer's past appearance as a brainless socialite, she is actually quite perceptive.

Ever since Mephisto rescued her soul from the cannibalistic demon in Hell and learned that it was because of a deal he made with Nydy, she had her own ideas.

She wouldn't allow Nydy's soul to be held in the hands of a demon.

Jennifer may not care about herself, but she cares about Nydy.

She was powerless before, since the one holding the transaction contract was a demon king, and she had the idea but no ability to do so.

But things are different now.

Matthew's arrival brought Jennifer both shock and hope.

Being able to fight a demon king and appear to be at a disadvantage, being human, and even being a hero who once saved the town of Devil Pot, seems much more plausible than Mephisto.

"What do you want to do, Jennifer?"

Nydi wavered. Who would willingly give their soul to a demon if they could?

"What should we do?"

Jennifer chuckled.

"OK, what should we do?"

"Of course, we wait."

"What?"

Nydy was completely confused.

"Don't even think about it, Nydy. We can't get involved in a battle of this level. But we have to wait until the battle is over and see the outcome. That's when we'll make our choice."

"All right."

At this moment, Nydy completely understood what Jennifer meant.

The two sisters opened their hearts to each other, while the fierce battle continued on the other side.

But the situation is escalating because Matthew has leveled up in the fight.

On the ground, a figure wreathed in black lightning traversed hundreds of meters, flying close to the ground at a speed exceeding the speed of sound. Layer upon layer of sonic booms continuously exploded, carving long trenches into the already ravaged ground once more.

His right hand was pitch black, with flashes of black and red lightning, as he punched Mephisto in front of him.

Its power was so great that it shattered the air, and it also carried a terrifying aura that shook the very soul.

Even Mephisto couldn't help but change color after receiving this punch.

But without hesitation, he threw a punch as well.

The two fists collided.

boom!

In an instant, a terrifying shockwave erupted from Matthew and Mephisto, causing a large section of the ground to cave in as if it had been swallowed by some horrific creature.

Layers of rock and soil were blown away, carrying countless fragments of stone that swept in all directions.

Mephisto couldn't withstand the force of the punch; his entire body began to become ethereal, and he was eventually sent flying backward.

As for Matthew, although he knocked Mephisto away, he saw flames ignite on his right hand and spread to his forearm and his whole body.

Just now, Mephisto actually used some tricks, mixing in hellfire. He truly lives up to his reputation as a cunning demon.

However, Matthew was prepared.

He suddenly flung it away.

An invisible force, carrying hellfire, flung it away, finally sending it crashing to the bottom of a bottomless pit.

Armament Haki is the energy of will. It not only enhances attack power, but also acts as an invisible armor. For hellfire to burn his body and soul, it must first burn through his Armament Haki.

But it takes time to burn through, and that time is enough for him to peel away the scorching heat of hellfire.

After doing all this, he looked ahead, and Morpheus's figure in mid-air became increasingly illusory, as if he might disappear at any moment.

Mephisto wasn't disappointed when he saw that his little tricks had no effect.

The brief battle just now gave Mephisto a general understanding of Matthew.

Unfortunately, he didn't have enough time.

Mephisto is going to run.

Matthew's Observation Haki allowed him to sense the other person's emotions almost immediately.

boom!

A crimson light flashed in his eyes, and a surging, domineering aura swept towards Mephisto like a torrent, then instantly transformed into a beam of light that shot towards Mephisto.

He moved so fast that he covered the distance of tens of meters in the blink of an eye, but he passed through Mephisto's body and was just a phantom.

Matthew transformed back into human form, regained his balance, and looked at Mephisto's phantom.

The other person turned around and looked at Matthew without him noticing.

The figure gradually faded into the distance.

He left behind a message.

"I don't want to be found by those little reptiles, it would be a lot of trouble, child. We will meet again. Next time we meet, I will make you grovel at my feet and kiss my shoes. You will become my most loyal servant."
