Mephisto's expression did not change in the slightest in the face of everyone's contempt. He was the most shameless Demon King in Hell to begin with. More importantly, if he could not have something, he would rather destroy it than let anyone else obtain it.
To Demons, harming others without benefiting themselves was perfectly natural!
As soon as Mephisto finished speaking, a circle of golden sparks appeared before Wang Nanxuan.
The ring of golden sparks rapidly expanded, and a yellow figure flickered into view behind it.

"Sorcerer Supreme?"
Wang Nanxuan sucked in a sharp breath and hurriedly drew upon Blackheart's power, forming it into a Black Ball that he fired at the Space Teleportation portal.
Bang! The moment the Black Ball reached the portal, it exploded violently. Amid the intense tremors, the portal swiftly collapsed.
Before Wang Nanxuan could breathe a sigh of relief, sparks appeared around him again, spinning far faster than before. Then, a yellow figure stepped out of the portal.
The figure had graying hair and a gloomy expression, giving off the impression that he was not someone to be trifled with. Yet Wang Nanxuan relaxed. It was not The Ancient One who had come, but her foremost disciple, Kaecilius.
Mephisto stared in astonishment and shouted unhappily, "Why didn't The Ancient One come herself?"
"The Sorcerer Supreme does not need to explain herself to you."
Kaecilius glanced at Mephisto, condensed a Magic Whip, and prepared to attack Wang Nanxuan. At that moment, a flaming chain came crashing down at him.
Kaecilius hurriedly swung his Magic Whip and knocked the Flame Chains aside. With a bang, the chain smashed a nearby stone pillar to pieces, sending fragments flying everywhere.
Mephisto shouted furiously, "Ghost Rider, what are you doing?"
"Roxanne cannot be harmed!"
Johnny roared as he viciously hurled the flames around his body at Kaecilius. Wind Demon had told him that if the Hell Lord met with disaster, Roxanne would die. Roxanne was the woman he loved most, and he would never allow anything to happen to her.
Mephisto was nearly furious enough to die. At such a critical moment, Johnny was actually getting sentimental over a woman?
Unfortunately, the Spirit of Vengeance within Johnny was special, and Mephisto could not strip it away. In truth, there was nothing he could do right now, leaving him utterly stifled.
"Get lost."
Kaecilius swung his Magic Whip, shattering the Hellfire again and again. Then, he drew a circle with one hand, and a Halo appeared beneath Johnny's feet. Johnny fell into it without any control over his body.
At the crucial moment, Wind Demon rushed over and swept Johnny up.
He forcefully hurled Johnny at Kaecilius. Kaecilius cast a spell with both hands, and a glass-like barrier appeared out of thin air. Johnny slammed into it with a bang and fell downward.
Kaecilius controlled the barrier, preparing to trap Johnny inside. At that moment, a streak of red flame rushed into Johnny's body. Johnny roared, the flames around him surged wildly, and he shattered the barrier with one punch, causing it to disperse like butterflies.
Wang Nanxuan had transferred the Spirit of Vengeance's power to Johnny. With that support, Johnny's strength rose greatly, and he joined forces with Wind Demon to battle Kaecilius.
"The Spirit of Vengeance? You not only stole my contracts, you even stole my Spirit of Vengeance?"
Mephisto was so furious that he nearly spat blood. Wang Nanxuan could not be bothered with him. As the last soul flew into his body, Minor Hell was about to be completed.
"Haha, I did it!"
Wang Nanxuan was overjoyed. At that critical moment, everything around him suddenly stopped, as if a movie had been paused. Whether it was the ferocious Johnny, the enraged Mephisto, or the excited Wang Nanxuan, all of them froze in place.
"Time Stop! Ancient One, you did that on purpose, didn't you?"
As the Hell Lord, Wang Nanxuan's consciousness had not been stopped. He cursed furiously with his mental power. She had not stopped time earlier or later, but precisely when he was about to succeed. She was clearly toying with him.
At that moment, Wang Nanxuan's vision blurred, and he appeared in an ancient hall. A bald woman dressed in yellow robes sat quietly with a fan in her hand, her bearing elegant and composed. Without question, she was Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One, who had suppressed countless worlds and made innumerable demon gods tremble at the mention of her name.
The Sorcerer Supreme raised her hand and said to Wang Nanxuan, "Please, sit, newly born Hell Lord."
Wang Nanxuan looked at the Sorcerer Supreme, then suddenly laughed. He sat down before her and said, "You stopped time at the last moment and invited me into an Illusion Realm. Sorcerer Supreme, do you want to negotiate with me?"
The Ancient One did not answer directly. She looked at Wang Nanxuan with eyes that seemed capable of seeing through everything and said, "You are very special."
Wang Nanxuan's heart skipped a beat, but outwardly, he said, "Do you mean I'm especially handsome?"
The Ancient One smiled slightly. "Perhaps I mean your skin is especially thick."
Wang Nanxuan's face darkened. He said, "Sorcerer Supreme, tell me your conditions. Do not go too far. Minor Hell is about to be completed. If I am willing, I can bring about mutual destruction with Earth. You should know that a barefoot man is not afraid of someone wearing shoes."
"You are indeed barefoot."
The Ancient One said, "Not only are you special, but this world is special as well."
Wang Nanxuan asked, "What is so special about it?"
The Ancient One raised her fan and tapped lightly. A magical Light Screen appeared. Within it, a wise bald man in a wheelchair was teaching a group of students.
Wang Nanxuan was stunned. "Professor Charles? This world has Mutants?"
"It did not a year ago. Then they suddenly appeared, and everyone believed their existence was perfectly normal. Only a handful of people noticed that something was wrong."
The Ancient One shook her head. "Situations like this have occurred three times over the past year. In other words, three worlds have fused with this one."
"World Fusion?"
Wang Nanxuan was even more astonished. The Ancient One nodded. "That's right, World Fusion. Over the past year, I have been searching for the truth, but I have found nothing."
"The only thing I can be certain of is that World Fusion has not ended. It will continue."
"No one knows what this world will become in the future. You are a very special person, so I can allow you to keep Minor Hell, but I have two conditions."
Wang Nanxuan said, "Let's hear them. Let me make this clear in advance: I will only accept reasonable conditions. I finally became a Demon King, so I cannot keep wronging myself like I used to."
The Ancient One looked at Wang Nanxuan and said, "You cannot harm humans on a large scale, much less do anything that might destroy humanity."
"You make me sound like some inhuman Great Demon King. Uh, I really am a Great Demon King."
Wang Nanxuan said, "Don't worry. Even if you had not said so, I would not do something like that."
"A Hell Lord is not necessarily a Great Demon King."
The Ancient One shook her head. "By the way, once Minor Hell is established, your Hell will be connected to Earth. If Earth is destroyed, your Hell will also suffer severe damage."
Wang Nanxuan understood. "Is that why you waited until the last moment to stop time?"
The Ancient One did not answer. She continued, "Second, you cannot collect souls through violence or slaughter. You may only use contracts to make people willingly give you their souls, like Mephisto does."
