As Mephisto introduced himself, America satellites, as well as satellites from other countries, were quietly deployed here.

Following the detected area of abnormal energy, they naturally captured images of the Messiah who had not yet left, as well as Mephisto who suddenly appeared.

People from many countries were startled when they saw the old man in the suit suddenly appear.

"Who is this person?"

"Which supernatural being is it this time?"

For a moment, a strong sense of dread arose in their hearts.

There was no other way; after the Messiah incident, they were all very wary of such supernatural figures.

They wished that all people with supernatural powers in the world would disappear, especially the Messiah and the White-Clothed Hero, yet they also wished that they could possess this terrifying power themselves.

And, to be able to appear before the Messiah, besides being fearless, one must also be very powerful, right?

While they were filled with surprise and speculation, Su Yao was staring at the gray-haired old man in the black suit in front of him and instantly recognized who he was.

Mephisto, one of the lords of the Hell Dimension.

Su Yao frowned.

This guy is treacherous and cunning, and he is the enemy of many people. Countless people have been harmed by him.

The more Soul Stone there are in Hell, the stronger he becomes. He often uses lies to lure mortals into signing Soul Stone contracts with him, hence he is also known as the Lord of Lies. At his peak, he could even rival Planet Devourer.

Not long after Mephisto finished speaking, just as he was about to introduce himself again so that Messiah, this uninformed human, wouldn't not know who he was,

But the next second, he froze.

"Mephisto, I know you, lord of the Hell Dimension," Su Yao said calmly.

Hmm? A look of surprise flashed in Mephisto's eyes.

This human, Messiah, seems to know him? How is that possible?

Aside from beings like the Supreme Mage, whose lineage is ancient and who know many secrets, how could this young human possibly know him? How long has this young man lived? How could he possibly know such secrets?

For a moment, Mephisto, who had initially held a somewhat condescending attitude and considered himself a senior, couldn't help but change his mindset and began to take the Messiah before him more seriously.

Previously, people were concerned about the power he possessed; now, they are concerned about the mystery surrounding him.

After a moment of wandering thoughts, Mephisto smiled and said, "Messiah, I don't know where you learned about me, but it saves me some trouble."

"I'll speak my mind."

He smiled and said, "As the lord of Hell, I can do many things, things beyond your human imagination."

"Messiah, what is your wish? I can help you fulfill it."

"For example, helping you eliminate the high-ranking officials of human nations?"

"Of course, this will come at a small price. I need you to do something for me in the future, something within your capabilities that you won't find repulsive or annoying."

Mephisto slowly tempted, "I can sign a contract with you to guarantee the fairness of both of us."

As a greedy demon from Hell, a Hell monarch who has lived for countless years, he would naturally not be so easy to talk to, nor would he offer such favorable conditions.

What he wanted was not just the Messiah's help, but also the Messiah's body and Soul Stone.

However, he also knew that Messiah would definitely refuse to sign a contract at the cost of his Soul Stone right from the start.

So he came up with this idea: to first lure people with small benefits to gain their trust.

After time and again, when the Messiah is blinded by greed, or when he desperately needs power or some kind of help, he will offer his Soul Stone as payment.

He had used this trick many times, from prehistoric times to the present, and he didn't know how many creatures he had successfully lured.

Their Soul Stone, naturally, all became his possessions!

This time, it certainly won't be an exception! Mephisto thought greedily.

While the two were talking, beings such as Dormammu were also subtly observing the scene.

Seeing Mephisto appear, their expressions varied; some regretted not making a move first, while others watched with schadenfreude.

"Is that old man Mephisto going to lie again?"

"I wonder if this young man, Messiah, can resist the temptation, hehe."

"It's probably difficult, after all, they are young people with too little experience."

"Yeah, I should have struck before Mephisto. Looks like that old guy is going to get the benefits."

As they watched and even subtly conversed, listening to Mephisto's words, Su Yao's expression remained unchanged.

As he floated and slowly circled Mephisto, he said, "Mephisto, I don't want what you can do for me, and you can't do what I want for me."

"And I know you better than you think."

"Making deals with demons and devils will never end well."

"Didn't you once cheat a young man named Johnny?"

Su Yao said with interest, "That young man named Johnny asked you to cure his father's terminal illness. You did cure his father's terminal illness, but a few days later, you caused his father to die unexpectedly."

"In the end, this Johnny got nothing and paid the price with his Soul Stone."

"Oh, no, he also acquired a Spirit of Vengeance and became Ghost Rider."

Upon hearing this, Mephisto's expression completely changed, becoming extremely ugly and surprised.

How did you know about this?

"Back then, you hadn't even made a name for yourself yet, had you?"

How old was the Messiah at that time? How could he possibly know about this?

It's even less likely that anyone else would have told him; Johnny wouldn't tell just anyone this kind of thing.

In an instant, Mephisto felt that Messiah was full of mystery, and his fear of him rose to a new level.

"What exactly is this Messiah, and how does he know so much?"

While he listened to the Messiah's words with surprise and doubt, Dormammu and the other beings in the shadows also showed a look of astonishment.

Not only did Messiah resist the temptation, but he also revealed Mephisto's true nature.

He can even recount Mephisto's past?!

How did the Messiah know all this? Just as they were filled with doubt, Su Yao remained calm and slowly said, "I know a lot of things, far more than you can imagine. There are very few secrets in this world that I don't know."

Upon hearing this, Mephisto and Dormammu, who were hiding in the shadows, were taken aback for a moment, and then they all found it amusing, thinking that this Messiah was just boasting and bluffing.

Young people really can say anything!

Mephisto found it amusing and casually said, "Is that so? Since you know about the Spirit of Vengeance and Ghost Rider, then tell me about their origins."

Mephisto himself didn't even care about what he said, and he didn't even expect Messiah to answer; it was just something he said casually.

After all, how could the Messiah know about things from so far back?
