Chapter 413 Mephisto
Ronan left very decisively.
Once the three top cosmic forces, the Kree, Shi'ar, and the Dark Legion, retreated, the other forces naturally knew what the current situation was.
Everyone had their own means of investigation. Seeing Ego being beaten up, Thanos fleeing in panic, and the terrifying momentum that had just intimidated the entire galaxy, everyone fell silent.
No one dared to twitch the tiger's whiskers.
"Quil, we are all from Earth. Why are those guys the best fighters in the universe, and some are tough guys who can beat Thanos, but you are so ordinary?"
Yondu sat in the main seat of the Predator and looked at a young man in a leather jacket with a shocked expression.
"Hey! What's wrong with me?"
Quill clapped his hands in dissatisfaction.
"Then can you blow up a building with one punch?"
Yondu pointed to the recorded screen where Hulk was going berserk.
"Um...Earthlings don't have green skin, and they're generally not three or four meters tall."
"So you know magic?"
Yongdu pointed at the busty girl in red in the recording.
"Um... this..."
"Or can you run that fast? This picture is displayed at a frame rate slowed down a hundred times."
This time Yondu is referring to Quicksilver.
The two siblings were recruited by the Avengers in this incident and fought against the aliens together.
"Okay, I'm a loser, but I think I'm one of the more handsome ones among humans."
Star-Lord slumped down on the leather seat and looked up at the white energy light.
How many years has it been since he left Earth?
At most, it won’t be more than twenty years, right?
How did it become like this?
"Why can't I tell that you are the more handsome one? You both have two eyes and one nose. Oh, I can see that your skin color is a little different. Some of you have very dark skin."
A fish head with three eyes came up to Quill and laughed.
Although the group of plundering pirates led by Yondu are composed of battle-hardened desperados, most of them are weird-looking.
"Boss, we received the live video signal from the Nova Corps!"
A man with two antennas on his head and half of his body transformed into a machine sat in front of the operating table and shouted at Yondu.
"Nova Corps? Don't they claim to be righteous and can't get along with low-class looters like us? Why are they looking for us?"
Yongdu pressed the answer button puzzled.
The screen suddenly projected a holographic projection, showing a middle-aged man wearing a cutting-edge helmet and a yellow battle suit, who looked very similar to a human on Earth.
"Sir Yondu, I am Roman Day, the centurion of the Nova Corps. I heard... there is an Earthling on your fleet?"
Everyone turned their eyes to Star-Lord in tacit understanding.
……
……
"So... that's it. I, an Earthling who left Earth 20 years ago, am here as an envoy to visit His Majesty Odin and... that important person?"
Star-Lord said to Odin while gesticulating.
The Earth is located on one of the arms of the Orion spiral arm, near the edge of the Milky Way.
The closer to the main arm of the spiral arm, the richer the material, and the richest is the center where the four main arms intersect.
Compared with these places, the Earth is an absolute remote and poor place with little presence in the entire universe.
Not many people knew about this place before, until the Chitauri suffered a defeat here last year. People laughed and joked about the Chitauri and thought it was no big deal.
Because it is one of the nine realms ruled by Asgard.
For thousands of years, outside forces have always regarded this part of the solar system as Odin's territory.
In their eyes, Odin is the leader of the earthlings, so as a diplomatic envoy, Star-Lord naturally visits Odin.
"Okay, tell me if you have anything to say. As for the big shot you mentioned... he went to deal with another big shot."
Odin turned his gaze toward the sky.
……
In the gap between reality and the boundary of time and space.
This place is still within the scope of this universe.
An ominous crimson color stained everything, and smoke and flames from hell filled the air.
The green light of the Time Stone was blooming on Ancient One's body, and he sat quietly on the ground.
In front of him was an old man in a suit.
"Mephisto, stop it, you don't stand a chance."
"How enviable! Those three guys actually have such excellent wizards as their subordinates in every world. I say, how about you come to my side? Anyway, your universe is almost coming to an end, and all souls and matter will be included in my hell."
Mephisto was leaning on his staff, looking at Ancient One with a smile.
"That's not necessarily true, Lord Mephisto."
Ancient One looked at Mephisto warily.
She and Mephisto have been at a stalemate for a long time.
"Is the Time Stone your reliance? It is indeed a supreme treasure of the universe. If you can perfectly exert the power of this stone, I really have no way to stop you. But your body is already very weak now, right? You should not be able to fully exert the power of the stone, so you may not be able to restrict me.
Besides, when it comes to playing tricks with time... I am much better than any Supreme Sorcerer."
Mephisto said slowly.
He once had a record of directly tampering with the history of a universe.
In the field of time, he is definitely a top player among all the multiverse-level bosses.
If no matter what the cost, given Ancient One's current state, Mephisto could temporarily break free from the constraints of the Time Stone.
But that would be a shame.
Every devil is the most shrewd, cunning and cruel businessman. Mephisto is here to earn souls. Before getting any benefits, he can make a certain investment, but he will never pay too high a price as an investment.
"There will always be variables beyond your expectations. This time will not be long. We can only wait here for a while at most." Ancient One closed his eyes and stopped talking to Mephisto.
Mephisto is a true veteran multiverse-level powerhouse. He is a superior being among the lords of hell and one of the only few lords of hell who is qualified to compete for the position of "Satan". He has layouts in countless universes and will swallow up countless vast universes into his own dimension.
Such an existence is much more dangerous than Dormammu.
Mephisto felt bored, so he used fire to condense a throne behind him and sat on it.
"Okay, okay, let's continue with the current schedule. I think your universe will come to an end in three or four years at most. I'm just a clone, and I have plenty of time to spend with you."
What Lao Mo actually covets is Gu Yi's soul.
After all, these are people who are qualified to follow eternity, so the value of their souls should not be too high.
However, Lao Mo also knew that Ancient One's soul had been destined by Eternity to become his follower, so he could not take it by force. He could only use words or tricks to induce Ancient One to change his allegiance.
But even if Ancient One disagrees, Mephisto thinks it's just the difference between making a big profit and making a huge profit.
Anyway, this universe is about to perish, and I'm targeting it, so how can I run away?
It's impossible that when the timeline of this universe is about to collapse, a multiverse god that can transcend the universe appears, right?
It seems...there really is.
Mephisto stood up from the Fire Throne and looked at the figure slowly walking towards him.
"Hey, there are distinguished guests from other universes coming to visit us."
Mingjing stretched out his hand and used white pure fire to condense a new throne in front of Mephisto, and sat on it.
Mephisto looked at Mingjing for a few times, then turned his gaze to the Pure Fire Throne, his eyes fixed.
"I didn't expect to meet a new multiverse god here. I wonder if this is the place you have your eyes on, or if this world has always been your territory?"
"Of course this is my territory, so I am not very happy about your thoughts."
Mingjing looked at Mephisto with a forced smile.
Ancient One breathed a sigh of relief, took the Eye of Agamotto from his chest, and handed it to Mingjing.
However, Mingjing only glanced at Gu Yi, and Gu Yi's figure disappeared.
The real Ancient One was still floating in the distant sky at this time, using the power of the Time Stone to cover and bind the time in this area, repeatedly wandering back and forth within three minutes.
"Mephisto, stop it, you don't stand a chance."
Ancient One and everything around him suddenly went back to three minutes ago, then flew in front of Mephisto and said, then realized something, turned around, and looked at Mingjing with surprise.
Mingjing smiled and nodded to Gu Yi.
Ancient One suppressed his excitement and looked at Mephisto.
"I don't know how many times I have said that sentence just now?"
"Twenty-four thousand six hundred and eighty-one times. I have used twenty-four thousand six hundred and eighty methods, but I still haven't been able to bewitch you."
Mephisto shook his head.
This time all our efforts will be in vain.
The other party is indeed a multiverse-level powerhouse of the same level as himself, even though it is possible that the other party achieved this with the help of the Infinity Stones.
The initial illusion test is a test of the opponent's omniscience and omniscience. People with these two abilities are basically impossible to be confused by illusions. Unless one's own real body takes action, it is possible to confuse a strong person of the same level.
Now, through the time gem from Ancient One, it has been confirmed that the person in front of him also has the ability not to be affected by external time, which is enough to prove everything.
"I thought it was a timeline that was going to disappear. Forget it. Do you want to make a deal? You have the qualifications to trade with me on an equal footing. For example... there are some things that only the gods of the multiverse are qualified to know, or other secrets, or even the power above the multiverse, or omnipotent treasures. I have lived for a long time and know a lot. I can tell you all of this, and you, my friend, only need to pay a small, insignificant price."
Mephisto showed an extremely sincere expression on his face and smiled at the mirror.
But Mirror isn't stupid enough to do business with a multiverse-level devil.
We cannot get complacent just because our current power has temporarily reached the multiverse level. Not to mention how powerful Mephisto is as a veteran multiverse god, other multiverse-level beings have also been deceived by Mephisto.
Even other equally cunning and treacherous lords of hell have been deceived by Mephisto.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, but I don't think it's necessary. Also... I wonder if it's impolite and dangerous to break into the dimension of another multiverse god?"
Mingjing smiled and spoke to Mephisto with a hint of threat.
"This time and space should not have been transformed into your dimension yet, even with the Infinity Stones. Is it because you don't want to, or can't, or... do you have other ambitions? But I advise you to do it as soon as possible. It's not that easy to reverse the timeline back to the right track."
Mephisto looked at Mingjing again, as if he had guessed something. Finally, he left after saying a few words.
"If you are unable to save this doomed universe, all you need to do is come here and silently recite my name to this flame."
Mephisto's figure disappeared in an instant, leaving only the throne made of hellfire, which turned into a flower of fire, burning quietly on the ground.
"He saw that I reached this level with the help of the Infinity Stones."
Mingjing looked at the flaming flower on the ground, then turned his head and spoke to Gu Yi.
"It seems that you already have the characteristics of eternal immortality. Now you only need one last step. Once you take this step, you can become a true multiverse god. By the way, have you resolved the issues in your universe?"
Gu Yi looked at Ming Jing with a look of relief and asked.
"Well, there shouldn't be any other problems in the next ten or twenty years."
"Great, I can retire now."
"Let's wait for some time. The situation in the universe is expected to change in the next few months. I might as well take advantage of the opportunity of taking over as the Supreme Sorcerer to stabilize the situation in the universe and solve the problem of timeline collapse."
"Whatever you want, just don't come to me for anything from now on."
Ancient One shrugged, opened the teleportation aperture and went back to Kamartaki to bask in the sun and sleep.
After being entangled with Mephisto, a multiverse-level boss for so long, even if he was just a clone of Mephisto, Ancient One felt exhausted.
After Ancient One left, Mingjing stretched out his hand and shot out chains, sealing the hellfire left by Mephisto into a different space at the rule level, and then turned and left.
……
……
At this moment, both the earth and the entire universe are in an uproar.
"Nick Fury, this is SHIELD's negligence, your negligence. I want to know why the Security Council didn't know about the existence of those mages in Kamar-Taki, and why they didn't know about the existence of that new unknown human being?"
Nick Fury stood up straight and looked at the questions raised to him by several representatives of the Security Council in front of him.
"So, what do you want to do now, world leaders?"
Nick Fury said sarcastically.
