The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 25 Turning Crisis into Safety

"Finally solved..."

Carter lowered his head slightly, reached down to pull down the brim of his hat, and sighed softly with a relieved expression.

"Crack...crack...crack..., sin...has...been...judged..."

Johnny, who was standing to the side, stammered out those words.

After he finished speaking, his slightly bewildered gaze slowly turned to Wes.

Wes instinctively avoided his gaze, his brow furrowing slightly as he said with some annoyance, "Damn it, don't look at me!"

"It seems the wizard isn't a good person."

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

"That's right, wizards are all cruel..."

Wes was stunned when he heard this.

There were clearly only three people present, so where did the fourth person's voice come from?

He frowned, warily pointing his wand in the direction from which the sound came.

A white-haired man stood there quietly, dressed very elegantly, leaning on an exquisite cane, exuding a mysterious and dangerous aura.

"Mephisto!!"

Carter was horrified when he saw the man, and without hesitation, he fired two shots at him.

However, the bullet passed through Mephisto's body as if it were an illusion, without causing him the slightest harm.

Johnny rushed over at lightning speed, attempting to deliver a powerful punch to Mephisto's face.

Unsurprisingly, Mephisto used only a glance to freeze Johnny in place as if he had been struck by a spell.

"It hurts me so much that my knight was so rude to me."

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

However, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, forming a disdainful smile.

Wes' heart tightened, and he slowly retreated, gradually increasing the distance between himself and Mephisto.

At the same time, his mind raced, calculating when he would have the chance to use "Apparition" to escape this dangerous place.

Johnny and Carter signed contracts with Mephisto, making them, in a sense, his employees, and in a very special way.

Wes had no desire to have anything to do with this demon king from hell.

"And you, little wizard." Mephisto's deep gaze fell on Wess with interest, as if examining a novel toy.

"You don't exist in the 'future' I predict."

Upon hearing this, Wes planned to immediately use the panel to travel to another world. Just as he was thinking, Mephisto's hand suddenly landed on Wes's shoulder as if by magic.

When?

Wes was shocked and his body tensed instantly, not daring to make a move.

"You ruined my plans, how are you going to compensate me?"

Mephisto narrowed his eyes slightly, forcing out a few tears in a contrived manner. "My beloved child, so cruelly murdered by you, can you understand the grief I feel right now?"

However, seeing that the three of them were not cooperating with him at all, Mephisto gradually lost the desire to perform, and said with a sneer, "What an ignorant fellow. My performance just now could have won at least an Oscar."

Mephisto slowly opened his five fingers, and the "San Venganza Contract" seemed to come alive, flying out from Wes's chest and landing steadily in Mephisto's hand.

"Ah, the years of hard work have finally come to fruition."

Mephisto wore a smug smile and chanted a mysterious incantation.

Instantly, the "San Venganza Pact" shone brightly, so intensely that it was impossible to look directly at it.

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

The souls were terrified upon seeing Mephisto and all wanted to flee.

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

Mephisto frowned slightly, opened his right hand, and a powerful suction force surged out, trapping the 3000 Holy Spirits firmly, preventing them from escaping.

"Think of something quickly," Carter said anxiously, his voice tense. "Once Mephisto absorbs these souls and opens the gates of Hell, it'll be all over."

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I can handle someone of that level?"

Wes was in a panic. He was thinking about whether he could escape while Mephisto was absorbing souls, but his intuition told him that if he did so, the consequences would be dire.

Wes was caught in a dilemma, unsure of what to do.

Just then, an unexpected person stepped forward.

The old pastor walked steadily towards Mephisto, the howling winds around him seemingly having no effect on him.

"Damn it!" Mephisto's face changed drastically upon seeing the old priest, and he exclaimed in astonishment, "That idiot Dormammu didn't manage to trap you?!"

Suddenly, a phantom emerged from the old pastor's body. The phantom gradually became clearer, revealing itself to be the Ancient One.

After a moment of stunned silence, the old pastor ran wildly toward the church.

"It's been a long time." Gu Yi's voice was gentle, like a spring breeze, as if she had met an old friend she hadn't seen for many years.

"You've come to expel me? This is just an avatar of mine; there's no loss in abandoning it." Mephisto was slightly taken aback at first, then pretended to suddenly understand.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Oh, so you did it for this contract."

Mephisto proudly took out the "Contract of San Venganza" and waved it in his hand.

"But this is a contract they voluntarily signed with me. I'm just here to fulfill this belated agreement. Even you can't deny this contract."

Gu nodded and said calmly, "You're right."

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

A spear suddenly appeared in Gu Yi's hand. The spear had an ancient style and could even be described as worn.

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

"The Spear of Longinus!" Mephisto's face was extremely grim. He feigned composure and asked, "He's joined forces with you!!"

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

The Ancient One shrugged and said calmly, "You know, I went too far back then. His losses were quite heavy, and he needs to replenish his forces."

"Damn it!!"

"shameless!!"

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

With Mephisto's helpless expression, the Spear of Longinus pierced the "Contract of San Venganza".

The "San Venganza Pact" was gradually reduced to ashes by the force of the spear tip.

"Never mind," Mephisto's expression instantly turned icy, as if he had become a completely different person, "It's just one of countless schemes."

The Ancient One ignored him and simply stood there quietly.

Mephisto removed his hat, bowed slightly, and said gently, "Then goodbye, Sorcerer Supreme, I look forward to seeing you again."

After he finished speaking, his body slowly disappeared, glancing at Wes one last time before vanishing.

Suddenly, a magnificent gate appeared in the sky, surrounded by angels.

The angels softly sang sacred songs.

With a flick of her sleeve, Gu Yiyi made the magnificent gate and the angel disappear instantly.

The 3000 Holy Spirits bowed to the Ancient One in gratitude, and finally gathered together, transforming into a stream of light that shot into the sky.

Only a crystal ball the size of a fist remained, silently floating in the air.
