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

Chapter 530 Cooperation

After Wes successfully absorbed tens of thousands of souls for the Underworld, the Underworld was as if it had been injected with a surging and powerful life force, and began to function.

"Heh heh heh~"

Mephisto was still wearing that sharp and exquisite gentleman's suit.

His gaze slowly swept over the souls on the battlefield, his eyes filled with greedy desire and deep jealousy.

"That's so unfair."

He murmured softly, his tone revealing deep resentment, like a child who had been deprived of something he loved.

He had always coveted this land, a place brimming with life and vitality, and nurturing countless souls, yearning to one day bring it under his control and become its master.

Although the Ancient One has left this world forever, the barrier she meticulously set up is like an indestructible wall of bronze and iron, still operating stably and normally, firmly blocking dimensional demigods like Mephisto, making it impossible for them to cross the line.

Now, seeing Wes able to absorb souls with impunity, Mephisto's jealousy burned like gasoline, becoming increasingly intense and uncontrollable.

"How about we make a deal? I have something you want here."

Mephisto tried to seduce Wes with seductive words.

Without a second thought, Wes replied, "I refuse."

Mephisto has always been utterly untrustworthy, and making a deal with him could easily backfire.

"What a pity, you really missed a golden opportunity."

Mephisto shook his head slightly, a look of regret on his face, but in an instant, he changed the subject, "However, we can cooperate, and perhaps achieve a win-win situation."

Wes raised an eyebrow slightly: "Oh?"

"Strange is in our way; he's a thorn in our side."

Mephisto made no attempt to hide his thoughts.

Strange has always protected the magical order of Earth, becoming a huge obstacle and stumbling block for many forces, including Mephisto, who covet Earth and attempt to seize it.

"Indeed, he has caused me a lot of trouble."

After a moment's thought, Wes nodded in agreement.

The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend, but at least they have the possibility and basis for cooperation.

"If you don't even have a shred of sincerity, what kind of cooperation are you talking about?"

Wes stared directly into Mephisto's eyes.

Cooperating with a treacherous devil like Mephisto can easily lead to a trap, so one must never compromise easily and must make the other party offer sufficiently substantial and tempting terms.

"Then tell me, what exactly do you want? As long as I can do it, I'm open to considering it."

Mephisto's signature wicked smile remained on his face as he casually waved his hand.

All sorts of rare and precious treasures emerged like a surging tide, piling up into small mountains in the blink of an eye.

The dazzling magic gems emitted a mesmerizing halo under the lights, like twinkling stars in the night sky;

On the ancient magic tomes, mysterious runes flickered with an eerie light, as if telling ancient secrets;

And there was the elixir of immortality, exuding an alluring fragrance; its bottle was crystal clear and contained boundless vitality.

And that divine spark, radiating powerful divine energy, was like a dazzling sun, shining brightly.

Any one of these treasures would be enough to cause a huge uproar in the magical world, sparking a fierce competition among countless powerful figures.

Mephisto's treasury was the wealth he had accumulated over countless years. Its luxury and preciousness were enough to make even the most greedy gods drool with envy.

"I want the Black Death Sword."

"The Black Death Sword?? What do you need that for?"

Upon hearing this request, Mephisto's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a look of wariness and suspicion.

The Black Death Sword is an incredibly powerful artifact, containing dark magic strong enough to destroy everything.

This sword not only possesses indestructible physical attack power, capable of easily severing all things in the world, but more terrifyingly, it can also corrode the soul. Any living being harmed by it will have its soul slowly eroded, eventually turning to ashes.

Mephisto was well aware of the terrifying power of the Black Death Sword.

You don't need to know my purpose.

Wes's lips curled up slightly.

He naturally wouldn't easily reveal his true intentions in demanding the Black Death Sword to Mephisto.

"The Black Death Sword is not in my possession."

Mephisto's eyes flickered, like will-o'-the-wisps dancing in the darkness.

"I know."

The latest novel is first published here!

Weiss spoke in a calm and unhurried tone.

The Black Death Sword, a magical weapon forged by the Dark God Nal himself, is steeped in legend.

It possesses a strange and powerful force, and can be summoned by those who harbor deep hatred for the gods. Once successfully summoned, it can grant the user superhuman power at the level of a godfather.

Wes is so obsessed with the Black Death Sword because his alchemy is currently stuck in a bottleneck that is difficult to break through.

As the pinnacle of the Dark God's work, the Black Death Sword must contain a unique energy construction method and forging process, which may inspire him to break through the predicament of alchemy.

Morpheus silently weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

Once this terrifying artifact falls into Wes' hands, the subsequent impact and changes are truly unpredictable and uncontrollable, and may even bring him unexpected trouble.

"The Black Death Sword is special; unless one harbors jealousy and hatred towards the gods, plus a bit of luck, it's impossible to obtain it."

"The conditions for obtaining the Black Death Sword are extremely demanding."

Mephisto frowned deeply, his tone tinged with helplessness: "To be honest, even I'm not entirely confident I can accomplish this."

"I think you definitely have a way."

Mephisto had been immersed in the dark realm for many years, and given the devil's greed, it was impossible that he hadn't studied the Black Death Sword.

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

If you want to get the benefits you want from Weiss, you have to give something in return.

Moreover, for someone like him who loves adventure and craves control, taking on such a challenging task has an irresistible attraction, making him want to give it a try.

"First, we need to find those who hate the gods to the core."

"The hatred in these people's hearts must be very pure and very strong, otherwise, there is no way to trigger the summoning mechanism of the Black Death Sword."

Wes nodded slightly.

"I can search in hell for those who have suffered cruel persecution from the gods."

Mephisto continued his analysis, "Even if we find the right people, we still need to channel the hatred in their hearts and make them perform the summoning at a specific time, in a specific place, and according to a specific ritual. If any one of these steps goes wrong, everything will be in vain."
