American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

At this moment, Mike, who had unleashed his full power in the Shadow Demon, truly became a war god.

The tens of thousands of shadow demons were no match for him, and soon suffered heavy casualties and began to flee.

"Hey, there's an unexpected surprise!!"

The enormous Mike inadvertently spotted Lucifer hiding in a corner behind the Shadow Demon.

He was gathering the scattered Shadowfiends and trying to get them to launch a counterattack.

"You choose the path to hell when there's a way to heaven."

Mike was previously struggling to find where to look for the escaped Lucifer, but he didn't expect that the other party hadn't left yet.

However, it's understandable. If Lucifer stays, he can still have the Shadow Demons at his beck and call. If he really leaves, he'll become a stray dog.

Now that the opponent has given him another chance, Mike can't care about anything else. He triggers the [Fatal Strike] on the Holy Light Spear once again and flies into the sky.

With his hundred-foot frame, he unleashed a spear technique that descended from the sky.

Amidst the sonic boom, the spear of holy light flashed with dazzling holy light, as if a catastrophe had descended.

Lucifer only had time to spread his wings to protect his body before being smashed into the ground by the giant spear.

The shadow demons he had gathered around him didn't even have time to react before they were crushed into dust and disappeared along with the surrounding dust.

"Isn't that the fallen angel Lucifer? Why does he look so weak?"

With the victory secured, Mike returned to his original size, walked to the edge of the giant pit, and looked down at the disheveled Lucifer inside.

This moment feels just like that moment back then.

If I remember correctly, Lucifer was recently defeated by Satan in the same way.

"You win this time, but so what? Can you kill me?" Lucifer, his face covered in blood, still wore an arrogant smile despite his defeat once again.

With his level of strength, unless there are special circumstances or his opponent is much stronger than him, he is generally not in mortal danger.

The last time we were defeated by Satan, it was in this situation.

This is also the source of Lucifer's confidence in staying this time.

"Still laughing? Look at this!"

Mike didn't waste any words with Lucifer and directly summoned the Gospels from his body, specifically designed to counter him.

The moment this divine book, radiating a soft, holy light, appeared, Lucifer's expression changed instantly. "I knew it! That old bastard God was already planning to get back at me!"

As a first-generation angel, Lucifer naturally knew that the Gospels possessed the power of sealing, which was just what he needed to control himself.

His expression was incredibly complex at that moment, a mixture of anger, resentment, and a hint of regret, but ultimately it all coalesced into ruthlessness. "Don't be too happy yet, human. Ten thousand years from now, when I break free of the seal, I'll make you and that old God pay!!!"

However, the Gospels, bathed in holy light, included Lucifer without any ripples, making his harsh words seem more like impotent rage.

“Ten thousand years?” Mike recalled the Gospels and said disdainfully, “In a few years, even without this book, I’ll still take care of you.”

[Corruption Value +15]...[Corruption Value +20]...

To Mike's surprise, Lucifer, who had been sealed inside the Gospels, could still hear the voices outside.

Mike was even more pleased.

...Who wouldn't like a free "power bank"?

Mike carefully put the Gospels back into his body. When he turned around again, Crowley and the others had already begun cleaning up the battlefield.

The remaining Shadow Demons were either beaten to death by Crowley and his men or had already fled into the shadows.

This battle dealt a heavy blow to the Shadow Demon race, and they will probably only be able to hide in the shadows and eke out a living from now on. Otherwise, the wild demons around them would teach them how to be low-key demons.

"Alright, our mission is complete. Everyone, get ready to leave!" Mike called everyone over and then threw a giant ball of holy light at the white castle.

Then he opened the gates of hell, preparing to leave with his group.

"Huh~"

Just as Mike was about to step into the gates of hell, he caught a glimpse of a giant cross lying in the crater from before.

Without Lucifer's control, the black aura on the Holy Light Cross was slowly dissipating, and soon it began to flicker with a faint white light.

This must be the true appearance of this divine weapon.

Chapter 556 Taking the initiative

Mike jumped into the pit and picked up the large cross that was covered in dust.

In an instant, the cross, which was over 1.5 meters long, seemed to come alive, with rings of holy light emanating from it.

The surrounding dark demonic energy was dispelled, eventually forming a huge barrier of holy light.

Inside this barrier, Mike felt his strength had increased by about ten percent.

"This is amazing stuff!!!"

After the holy light receded back into the Holy Light Cross, Mike casually swung the weapon, which had turned golden.

It has a great texture and feel. In close combat, it can be used to block and smash people, and in long combat, it can also be used as a boomerang.

It's fair to say that this weapon, which requires holy light to activate, is a complete waste on Lucifer, who has already fallen.

"Okay, let's go back~"

After silently thanking Lucifer for his gift, Mike summoned the Gates of Hell once more, preparing to leave with his group.

Just then, a cloud of black mist flew over from a distance at an extremely fast speed.

"You destroyed the Shadow Demon race? And where is Lucifer now?" After the black mist landed, it transformed into a demon over three meters tall with two horns on its head.

"You're welcome, Satan. We've already taken care of the Shadow Demon threat for you..." Mike said with a smile. "As for Lucifer, he probably won't have the chance to challenge you again. Doesn't that make you happy?"

The visitor was none other than Satan, the lord of hell.

Satan, as the lord of Hell, naturally pays close attention to the recently restless Shadow Demons and Lucifer.

He had come to check on the situation after hearing from his subordinates that someone was fighting against the Shadow Demons.

In just a short time, the Shadow Demon clan was disbanded.

Judging from the Holy Light Cross that Mike is carrying, Lucifer's current situation is probably not very good either.

Satan didn't really like Lucifer and the Shadow Demons. But no matter what, they were both forces on Hell's side.

Mike led his men and wiped out the enemy, making Satan, the lord of hell, lose face.

Moreover, Satan only found out when he returned that Mike had secretly blown up his castle in the Central District two days earlier.

Therefore, Satan actually dislikes Mike, this unconventional human, more than the unruly Lucifer.

"You've caused trouble in Hell without my permission. Are you ready to be punished?" Satan's face changed instantly, a surge of black energy rising from his body.

Mike had reason to believe that the other party was taking the opportunity to cause trouble and wanted to teach him a lesson.

"Don't get so agitated, let's talk this out. I've already helped you get rid of Lucifer, and I haven't even asked you for payment yet~" Mike continued to smile as he faced the Demon King's wrath.

Behind him, he was secretly gesturing to Crowley and the others, telling them to leave through the Gates of Hell first.

While Crowley and his companions could offer some assistance in waging war against the Shadowfiends, they were utterly a burden when facing Satan, the Lord of Hell.

Only by letting them leave first can Mike unleash his full power without any scruples.

Crowley, being aware of the gravity of the situation, didn't want to face Satan in the first place. Instead, he took Mike's place and led the group to quickly leave through the Gates of Hell.

"Lord of Hell, huh! I happen to have a few scores to settle with you too~" Without the burden, Mike immediately reverted to his original demeanor.

His mythology level was almost at level four before, and he gained a lot of corruption points when he destroyed the Shadow Demons and dealt with Lucifer.

This also allowed his total energy value to finally break through the 100 million mark, officially entering the Mythical Level 4.

Aside from his various talents and abilities, his current strength is no less than Lucifer's.

With the addition of special talents such as [Void Power], he no longer needs to fear Satan.

"Haven't seen you for two days, seems quite confident in your current abilities~"

Seeing the human opposite him make that flippant, hooking gesture, Satan grinned and summoned the Cursed Spear. "I wonder if your strength is as tough as your mouth!!!"

As he spoke, the Lord of Hell, his body wreathed in demonic energy, brandished his spear and charged at Mikeza.

What puzzled him was that the human opposite him maintained a half-smile and did not respond to his attack.

Just as the Lord of Hell was surprised, the spear in his hand, imbued with the power of curse, pierced straight through Mike's body.

How can I describe that strange feeling? It was like hitting an illusion.

I feel no weight at all...

"How about that? Amazing, isn't it?"

Mike, having successfully experimented with his new ability, turned around with a smile and looked at the Lord of Hell who had already appeared behind him.

As he spoke, he raised a cross radiating holy light and launched a sneak attack, striking Satan in the face.

Knock the opponent away.

"What happened?" Satan, who had been caught off guard and ambushed, still couldn't figure out what had just happened after getting up.

This is also thanks to Shadow, who, despite his great abilities, kept a very low profile while staying in the Shadow Demon.

Therefore, the Lord of Hell had never witnessed his power before.

This gave Mike the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

"Do you think I'd be stupid enough to explain this to you?" Mike still had a smile on his face.

Then, he planted the Holy Light Cross in the ground, forming a circle of Holy Light.

He included himself and the Lord of Hell in it.

Then, a flash of holy light appeared, and a spear appeared in Mike's hand as well—a golden spear that shone with holy light.

"Let's fight!"

After shouting, Mike raised the Spear of Holy Light and charged at Satan.

A great war is about to break out!!!

The Lord of Hell no longer dwelled on Mike's strange abilities; he figured that as long as he defeated Mike, he would eventually find out the answer.

However, the battle that followed left Satan feeling once again as if he had power but nowhere to use it.

Most of his attacks were dodged by Mike with his uncanny ability to evade the void. Instead, Mike's occasional counterattacks left him with numerous wounds.

It can be said that Satan's dark energy is precisely countered by Mike's [Void Power].

"So? Do you still want to fight?"

After a fierce battle, Mike stood up straight, his spear pointing diagonally, his posture exuding an indescribable elegance.

The Lord of Hell, standing opposite him, had not suffered any fatal injuries, but he looked rather disheveled.

"You're fine~"

Having realized he could no longer defeat the humans on the other side, Satan put away his weapons and prepared to leave.

They expressed their unwillingness to continue being mistreated here.

"Don't go yet, I still have something to tell you." Mike, seeing that things were going well, also put away his weapon and said, "From now on, the human world is under my protection. You can't send your demon subordinates to cause trouble anymore."

"Similarly, Crowley and Ghost Rider are also my men, so you can't target them anymore."

Although Mike is still no match for Satan, with the power of the Void, he is already invincible even in Hell.

On the contrary, the Lord of Hell's power is suppressed when he passes through the Gates of Hell. Under such circumstances, if he dares to cause trouble in the human world, he will definitely suffer the consequences if Mike finds out.

Therefore, Mike now has the ability to negotiate with the Lord of Hell.

"I can grant your request, but you must also promise me that you will never cause trouble in Hell again." Satan was still relatively clear-headed and immediately made his own demands.

Anyway, this wasn't the first time he'd done something like this; he'd even signed a peace pact with God a long time ago.

Mike's current strength is enough to rival that of God, so it's not shameful for Satan to "give in."

"No, no, no, I didn't come to Hell to cause trouble. I've even helped you get rid of Lucifer, that potential threat." Mike wasn't about to let Hell, a place to farm corruption points, slip by, so he said, "I can continue to help you deal with those unruly lord-level demons in the future..."

“I can handle things in hell myself; I don’t need your interference.” Satan felt increasingly uneasy and finally couldn’t help but interrupt Mike.

“How could I not need help? Hell is vast, and there are always places you can’t reach. For example, this time with the Shadow Demon, if I hadn’t arrived first, that yellow-eyed demon named Azazel would have already been sent to Earth.” Mike casually found a reason to refute the Lord of Hell.
