The era of American comics begins

Chapter 369 Contract Fulfillment
"Where are you going in a hurry, Mephisto?" Michael said lightly.

The dark red mist stopped instantly, staying motionless between the stone cracks.The dim red glow slowly churned like a stream of water, its luster flickered on and off, like a face with an uncertain expression.

Not only Michael, but several other people also approached.Doctor Strange blocked the demon's retreat, and Scarlet Witch and Doctor Doom were left and right.Everyone has a majestic aura like a peak, and their respective magic powers surround their bodies. When they are connected with each other, they seem to form an invisible circular barrier, sealing Mephisto in the middle.

There is no way to avoid it.The moment he realized that Michael was standing in front of him.Mephisto's heart has already cooled down a lot.He glanced coldly at the few people around him, gritted his teeth, and seemed to have finally made up his mind to fight to the death.The dark red mist suddenly turned into a solid body, like a bloody poisonous snake spitting out a letter and pounced!

The rush to the extreme, even if it no longer has the size of the Optimus Pillar just now, it is still the power of the Lord of Hell!

But Michael was faster than him.The long-prepared magic power turned into a physical shield to meet it, and the blood-red snake violently hit the magic shield.The pattern on the shield aroused ripples, and the body of the poisonous snake cracked in a burst of flying sparks, turning back into a burst of red mist.Immediately afterwards, the fog condensed in front of everyone, and quickly conjured up a humanoid shape.

A life-sized Mephisto.

The devil's face was distorted, and Huang Chengcheng's eyes seemed to be burning with angry fire.

A green light appeared in Dum's hand, and he stepped forward and was about to make another shot, but was blocked by Michael's hand.

"You lost, Mephisto." Michael said lightly, "It's time to fulfill the promise. Now, the soul of Cynthia von Doom is just as agreed in the contract."

Mephisto let out a long breath, and burst into flames all over his body.

"Is it up to you!?"

The figure of the demon danced like a red ribbon, the flames swept across his face, and countless fiery lotuses bloomed.

Michael's pulse guns fired in succession, several fire lotuses exploded in the air, and the high temperature rushed straight to his face.Doctor Strange, who had also been preparing for the attack, also shot instantly, and the golden magic whip suddenly rolled up, straight for Mephisto's back.

Wanda and Dum also both shot.The four mages joined forces to besiege, and the strongest magic power in the world swept across like a hurricane, and enveloped the audience like a chilling cold wind.Mephisto resisted with all his strength, but after all, it was at the end of his strength, and he was completely stretched under the joint efforts of the four.In less than 10 minutes, the weak demon was completely defeated.The red light cannon unique to the Reality Stone hit the demon like a dull heavy hammer.The demon made a somersault in embarrassment, and the hell flames surrounding his body were suddenly extinguished.

The weak demon half-kneeled on the ground, panting heavily and violently, the superior arrogance unique to demons has long since disappeared.

Michael stretched out his right palm, and the palm of his hand was flickering red, driven by the power of the real rough stone.An invisible force immediately locked onto a heart in the demon's chest, and red light burst out from the demon's chest with a powerful force, scarlet blood and flames flew together.The cold and dirty black heart flew towards Michael under the power of the original stone, and he squeezed it in his hand.

"You claim to be immortal, Mephisto?" Michael asked in a deep voice, "Then why don't you try to see what would happen if I crushed your heart here?"

Mephisto tried hard to control the twisted muscles of his face, and said through gritted teeth: "If you do this, you will become the biggest sinner in the world! If I die, the existence of hell will fall apart. It will spread to the human world, and all undead will lose their restraints. The entire human world will be destroyed!"

"Come on, Mephisto, we all know that rhetoric is your nature. It is not surprising that you make up any kind of lies to survive." Michael said in a low voice, "Or this is just another lie you made up to escape sanctions. .Now with just one breath, I can end your eternal life."

Mephisto groaned in his heart.He lies all day long, and he is indeed a devil who does not hesitate to tell any nonsense in order to achieve his goals. Normally, if someone regards "cunning" as his pronoun, he will even take it as a reward for himself.

But the problem is...he told the truth this time!
Hell is a place of despair and death, but at the same time it is an essential part of the world.If Mephisto, the ruler, falls, the laws of hell will become chaotic.The balance of the world will be out of balance, and the consequences will be irreversible.

The problem with Mephisto right now is that he's telling so many lies—like the kid in "Wolf"—that the occasional important truth he tells isn't even credible.

"Okay, okay, you win, you win." Mephisto stared intently at the black heart pinched in Michael's hand, and said hastily.It's not that he's really at the end of his wits and has no more tricks to play, it's that he doesn't have the guts to keep going.If the other party gets upset and really crushes his heart like this, then this old demon with a lifespan of hundreds of millions of years will have his skin broken here.
"According to the agreement, I will liberate Cynthia von Doom's soul. It's just that her body has long been destroyed, and now only her soul remains. Even if I liberate her, she will never return to the mortal world. She will leave hell , out of my control, but will still go to a distant place that you can't touch."

While talking, Mephisto carefully peeked at Michael, trying to perceive his mood swings, for fear that the other party would really kill him if he was upset.

What he said was exactly the same as the content in the previous contract. Cynthia von Doom had died a long time ago, and even if she was liberated by Mephisto, she would not be able to return to this world.Michael knew this a long time ago, just as he knew that Mephisto was telling the truth this time.But he didn't have to show it, because then Mephisto would be wary and become a bargaining chip in their negotiations.

Mephisto stopped talking nonsense and immediately set out to honor the contract.He opened his right palm, and a white light was released from the palm of his hand, floating up into the air, gradually forming a human shape, and turning into a transparent phantom floating in the air.

Cynthia von Doom.

Dum looked up at the face he had been thinking about day and night, his frozen eyes instantly loosened, as if a boy who had been hidden behind layers of thick walls was finally awakened.

"Mother."

Cynthia looked down at him, smiled gratifiedly but tiredly: "Victor."
