Shadow of the Beautiful World

In the ruins of the half-destroyed town of San Vangonza, the wizard king Doom stood in front of the ruins, calling the name of the great devil Mephisto.

Behind him, the completely controlled Black Heart stood there like a puppet, holding the real Saint Van Gonzale contract in his hand.

There was still power from heaven shining in that contract, constantly burning Prince Black Heart's body, but it remained expressionless, as if it had lost all wisdom and thinking.

As long as it tears the scroll at this time, it can accomplish everything it desires to accomplish.

Saint Van Gonzale will become a small hell on earth, and the power of Mephisto Hell will be split apart.

Although there is only a trace, a complete hell and an incomplete hell are completely different.

For a hell lord who aspires to pursue the throne of the king of hell, this is absolutely intolerable. It not only means that its power will be weakened, but also its majesty will plummet.

There is no shortage of careerists in every hell, and once the majesty of a king is gone, the careerists will be ready to move.

Chaos will sweep Mephisto's hell, humiliating it before the other lords of hell.

Ah, even Marduk, who kept failing, could laugh at it for that.

I can't stand it!

With a deep sigh, Mephisto's projection appeared in the ruins of the town. It was just a weak projection. Under the gaze of the supreme mage, the great devil would not take the risk of coming to the appointment with his real body.

That was courting death.

What appeared in front of Dum was still Mephisto's classic dress.

Appears in the image of a white-haired old man, wearing an outdated tuxedo and overcoat, with a crystal cane carved into a skull in his hand.

His beard was perfectly manicured, just as the rumors said.

However, probably due to being at a disadvantage, Mephisto's projection face didn't have much expression.

I originally thought that this was just a small fight of a group of misbehaving children.

Mephisto looked at Dom in front of him, and the black heart behind Dom, he shook his head, and said with some regret:

However, I didn't expect that even Cynthia's naughty son would participate in this big banquet...

What a mistake. How could I ignore you? Little Doom, you have been persistently making trouble for me these years. How could you miss this opportunity to make trouble for me?

It turned its head to look at the desert not far away, and said:

The knights who were not prepared for this game at all have also been exposed, and now even the most stupid failure of my past has fallen into your hands.

Because of my stupid and arrogant son, I also got into trouble with the difficult Asgardians. Although it was just an accident, it was really a wonderful show. You young people, you really can't underestimated...

Come back, you shameless fellow.

Mephisto waved his hand, and soon, amidst the roar of the flaming locomotive, the Ghost Rider charged into the small town of San Van Gonzal with the tumbling flames, and stopped beside Mephisto with a cool tail swing .

The flame skull sitting on the locomotive didn't care about failure.

Now it is that strange vengeful spirit named Zatanos that controls Johnny's body, its mad nature exposed.

It sat on the locomotive, and waved nervously to Victor von Doom standing in front of it.

And you, little friend Merlin... We haven't seen each other for more than ten years.

Mephisto leaned on his cane, turned his head to look at the edge of the empty ruins, and said:

I'm glad to see that you're still alive, and I'm also glad to see that you've grown to the point where it bothers me. It seems that you've made trouble for your poor father all these years.

Oh? Just upset you?

As the shadows receded, Merlin, who was wearing a black windbreaker, a mask with a crow's beak, and also leaning on a cane, appeared at the scene of this peaceful conversation.

He sat on a reasonably clean stone and said to Mephistopheles:

Then it seems that my growth is far from enough...

I will continue to work hard in the future, and I can't let the old seniors keep looking down on me.

While talking, Merlin glanced at the Ghost Rider behind Mephisto, who raised his hand rudely, and gestured to Merlin with a burning middle finger.

Mephisto lingered on Merlin for a moment, then looked at the silent Wizard King Doom again. It sighed, as if admitting defeat, and said:

Go ahead, go ahead.

You kidnapped the only son of the lonely old man in hell, and threatened the poor old devil to split his meager property, so, what do you want from the poor old devil?

Mephisto told a cold joke, it looked at the two people in front of it, and it said:

Tell us your terms, and let us haggle over the price. I hope you don't go too far, and let us end this trouble before dawn.

You know what I want!

Dum said in a low voice:

Free the soul of Cynthia von Doom from your hell!

Well, old school.

Mephisto waved his hand, and it said:

In order to save your mother, you made that ridiculous machine and disfigured yourself. I thought you had learned the lesson, but now it seems that you still haven't...

But it took so much time, so much energy, and such a big scene, but it was just to save the poor mother from hell. Tsk tsk, even a devil like me will be moved.

The old devil pretended to take out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped his eyes that had no tears at all, then looked at Merlin again, and said:

What about you? Little Merlin, why did you come here?

I don't need anything from you.

Merlin spread his hands and said in a very candid voice:

Believe it or not, I'm just here to help my friend with something...

Friend? Hehe, it's such a warm word.

The big devil obviously didn't believe Merlin's statement, but it didn't delve into it.

It stretched out its hand, and in the beating of the green light, a woman's spirit body in a long red dress and wavy hair appeared beside the devil.

The woman was very beautiful, with the charm of a mature woman. When she was summoned from Mephisto Hell, she still looked a little dazed.

But when she saw Victor von Doom standing in front of her in armor, the lady subconsciously stretched out her hand, trying to touch Doom's body.

This should be Cynthia von Doom.

Doom's mother, a gypsy witch who made a deal with the archdevil to seek revenge.

well...

The big devil Mephisto sighed, it said:

If I don't set sweet Cynthia free, then little Doom will order my worthless son to rip the scroll and split my hell.

Although there is only one thing, but incomplete is incomplete, I will face a lot of trouble, I will be made a laughing stock by other bastards in hell, they will spread some crazy things, saying that Mephisto is old, It's useless...

Oh my, it's a very troublesome scene just thinking about it.

Doom ignored the big devil's performance like a cross talk, he stretched out his hand, and in the halo of magic, he tried to touch his mother's spirit body, so as to save her from the big devil's shackles.

However, at the moment when Dum's finger was about to touch his mother's finger, Mephisto, who seemed to have softened, suddenly said:

However, thinking about it carefully... I still can't swallow this breath!

ah!

Cynthia's soul suddenly let out a scream, and amidst Mephisto's gloomy laughter, the witch's soul was sent to hell again.

And it must have been on purpose, so that the spirit was thrown back into hell in the most painful way.

Merlin stood up abruptly, realizing that something was wrong.

And Dum seemed to be stupid, just stretched out his hand, stood in place, and maintained the touching posture.

There was still an unconcealable astonishment in his eyes.

Rip it!

Doom was also a ruthless person, seeing that Mephisto seemed to be planning to play some tricks, the enraged king immediately issued an order.

The tool man Hei Xin tore open the Saint Van Gonzal contract in his hand without hesitation. In the burning of the heavenly power, the lesser half of Hei Xin's body was burned to ashes at this moment.

But as the scroll was torn apart, a dark red light rose in the small town like the sun in the dark night.

Thousands of resentful spirits howled and rushed out of their hiding place, and as the scroll in Heixin's hand turned into flames and dissipated, a tearing sound like a yellow bell rang out in the ears of everyone present.

It's like someone ripped a strip of cloth in your ear, or steel...

Well...

Mephisto took a step back clutching his head, it felt very painful, as if his soul was being torn apart.

Others can only end the suffering of these wraiths when they open the scroll, but the blood of Mephisto remains in Black Heart. The moment it tore the scroll, the power of Mephisto's hell was forcibly torn apart. .

But it still hurts.

In the dark red light, the entire ruins of San Van Gonzale were surrounded by dark red ominous power, and a hell barrier was forming.

It only needs a period of operation and maintenance, and this place will become a small hell, the embryonic form of a new hell plane.

Pooh!

Mephisto's projection faltered, its human form no longer maintained.

In the tumbling power of its own hell, it quickly turned into a man with crimson skin, wearing a strange robe, black hair and gorgeous black beard, and two perfect devil horns, and a tail image of the devil.

It stared viciously at the black heart who was regarded as a tool man, and said:

It was a mistake to create you trash in the first place!

After scolding his son, Mephisto looked back at the angry Doom and Merlin who was ready to fight. Its projection disappeared in the firelight. In the elongated wild laughter, Mephisto Special shouted:

But to see the wonderful expressions on the faces of you little friends, this occasional indulgence is worth it... Do you think you can threaten Mephisto?

Hahahaha, I am willing to take the time to clean up the mess, I am willing to endure the ridicule and ridicule of those bastards, but it doesn't matter... I still have time.

And you...you are gone!

At the moment when the projection of the great devil dissipated, it opened another contract with extreme malice.

The jumping flames were sprinkled on the body of the Ghost Rider, like sprinkling a little spark on the gunpowder barrel.

boom

When the power of the Ghost Rider contract was fully released, the unstable hellfire on the Flame Skull exploded outward like a detonated nuclear bomb, covering the entire ruins of San Van Gonzal in an instant, like a tumbling flame. Like the sea, it continues to spread outward.

The entire desert was constantly being scorched by the extremely high temperature, and the dancing flames illuminated the darkest night before dawn like day.

Zatanos, unleash your fury, kill everyone here, and I'll set you free, you incompetent fool!

Oh, by the way, don't forget that little Asgardian bastard... Anyway, I offended that crazy woman, and I don't mind offending a little bit more...

Get rid of him!

Mephisto's voice was like a starting gun.

The moment its projection dissipated, in the center of the sea of ​​flames, Zatanos, the Spirit of Vengeance who had completely released his power, was no longer the Flaming Skull before.

It still has a skeleton head, but the fiery red light filled its body and its flame locomotive, making it look like the commander of the flames.

Crack, click, click

Merlin is in a hell that is just taking shape. In this special dimension, the magic of the ancient body can finally be released easily,

But in front of his eyes, the super-defensive ancient body magic began to appear cracks like spider webs under the burning of the extremely explosive hellfire.

Beside him, a blue arc light danced outside Doom's iron armor. After converting the magic power into the energy of the armor engine, the energy defense supported by Doom's armor can also be seen against the ghost knight's revenge. The terrifying power produced after the spirit is completely released.

The wizard king stood in the flames, silent as a statue, and Merlin didn't need to guess how much that scene had hit him.

He is clearly close to his mother's soul, but...

What are you still doing?

Doom's voice suddenly sounded in Merlin's mind, and the wizard king said calmly:

The knight is heading towards the person you want to protect...Aren't you going to stop it?

Um?

Merlin raised his head and saw that in the tumbling flames, the blazing locomotive carrying the full body of the spirit of revenge was rushing towards Thor who was protected by the destroyer. He moved his shoulders and said:

I just thought you might need some reassurance...

comfort?

Dum shook his head:

Why do you think I'd need something like that?

It's just a failure. Its only purpose is to remind me to keep getting better...can't stop.

All right.

Merlin shrugged, he glanced at his surroundings, and said:

Actually, as long as this little hell is in your hands, you and Mephisto will still have something to talk about.

No, the same method is useless to the big devil. Now that it has made up its mind, it will no longer worry about gain or loss because of the dissipation of this little power.

And playing the same cards over and over again will only expose my weakness.

Doom shook his head and said:

This place is useless to me, you can take over if you want.

A movable hell barrier?

Merlin rubbed his chin, feeling the chaotic dimension in this hell barrier, he said:

If you don't need it...Of course it's okay for me to take over. In fact, I'm very happy. But I have to deal with the opponent in front of me first. I'll deal with the ghost knight. Help me protect those two people.

I just heard from Mephisto that that man is Thor?

Dum looked at the two people fleeing in the desert in the distance in the endless flames, and said:

Even if I am ignorant and ignorant, I have heard of his name. Does he really need my protection?

No, he is now an ordinary earthling.

Merlin pointed to his own brain, and he said:

The old devil has a problem with his brain. He may have lost his mind. I can't think of any benefits it will bring him by killing Thor. In short, protect him.
