Mephisto's expression did not change in the face of everyone's contempt. He had always been the most shameless Demon King in Hell, and more importantly, if he could not obtain something, he would rather destroy it than let anyone else have it.
To Demons, harming others without benefiting oneself was only natural!
As soon as Mephisto finished speaking, a circle of golden sparks appeared before Wang Nanxuan. The ring of sparks rapidly expanded, and a yellow figure flickered faintly behind it.
"Sorcerer Supreme?"
Wang Nanxuan sucked in a sharp breath and hastily drew upon Blackheart's power, forming it into a Black Ball that shot toward the Space Teleportation portal.
Bang! The moment the Black Ball reached the portal, it exploded violently. Amid the intense tremors, the portal rapidly 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 from the Portal.
The figure had graying hair and a gloomy expression, giving off the unmistakable impression that he was not someone to be trifled with.
Yet Wang Nanxuan relaxed. It was not Ancient One who had come, but her foremost disciple, Kaecilius.
Mephisto stared in astonishment and shouted unhappily, "Why didn't Ancient One come?"
"The Sorcerer Supreme does not need to explain her actions to you."
Kaecilius glanced at Mephisto, conjuring a Magic Whip as he prepared to attack Wang Nanxuan. At that moment, a burning chain came smashing down at him.
Kaecilius hurriedly swung his Magic Whip, knocking the Flame Chains aside. With a bang, the chain shattered a nearby stone pillar, sending rubble flying everywhere.
Mephisto shouted furiously, "Ghost Rider, what are you doing?"
"Roxanne cannot be harmed!"
Johnny roared as he viciously hurled the flames covering his body at Kaecilius.
Wind Demon had told him that if the Hell Lord came to harm, Roxanne would die. Roxanne was the woman he loved most, and he could not allow anything to happen to her.
Mephisto was nearly furious enough to die. At such a crucial moment, Johnny was actually playing at romance?
Unfortunately, the Spirit of Vengeance within Johnny was special, and Mephisto could not strip it away. In Fact, he could do nothing at all right now, and he was utterly stifled.
"Get lost."
Kaecilius swung his Magic Whip, smashing the Hellfire apart one blast after another. Then, he drew a circle with one hand, and a Halo appeared beneath Johnny's feet, causing Johnny to fall in uncontrollably.
At the critical moment, Wind Demon rushed over and swept Johnny up in a whirlwind, forcefully hurling him 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 it. Just then, a blaze of red fire Poured Into Johnny's body.
Johnny let out a roar, and the flames around him surged wildly. He shattered the barrier with a 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 soared, and he joined forces with Wind Demon to battle Kaecilius.
"The Spirit of Vengeance? Not only did you steal my contract, you even stole my Spirit of Vengeance?"
Mephisto was so furious he nearly coughed up blood. Wang Nanxuan could not be bothered with him. As the final soul Flew Into his body, the Minor Hell was about to be officially completed.
"Haha, I succeeded!"
Wang Nanxuan was overjoyed. At that crucial moment, everything around him suddenly came to a halt, as if a movie had been paused.
Whether it was the ferocious Johnny, the Wrath-filled Mephisto, or the excited Wang Nanxuan, they were all frozen in place.
"Time Stop! Ancient One, you did that on purpose, didn't you?"
As a Hell Lord, Wang Nanxuan's consciousness had not been stopped. He cursed furiously with his mental power. Of all times, she had to stop time just as he was about to succeed. She was clearly messing with him.
Just then, Wang Nanxuan's vision blurred, and he appeared in an ancient hall. A bald woman in yellow mage robes sat quietly with a fan in hand, her bearing elegant and composed.
Without question, she was Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One, who suppressed countless worlds and struck fear into innumerable gods and demons.
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, then invited me into an Illusion Realm. Sorcerer Supreme, do you want to negotiate with me?"
Ancient One did not answer directly. She gazed at Wang Nanxuan with eyes that seemed able to see through everything and said, "You are very special."
Wang Nanxuan's heart skipped a beat, but he said calmly, "Do you mean I'm especially handsome?"
Ancient One smiled faintly. "Perhaps I mean your skin is especially thick."
Wang Nanxuan's face darkened. He said, "Sorcerer Supreme, tell me your terms. Don't be too excessive. The Minor Hell is about to be completed. If I wish it, I can drag Earth down with me. You should know that a barefoot man is not afraid of one wearing shoes."
"You are indeed barefoot."
Ancient One said, "Not only are you special, this world is special as well."
Wang Nanxuan asked, "What is so special about it?"
Ancient One raised her fan and tapped lightly. A magical Light Screen appeared, showing a wise bald man in a wheelchair teaching a group of students.
Wang Nanxuan narrowed his eyes slightly. "That is... Professor Charles?"
"There were no Mutants a year ago. Then they suddenly appeared, and everyone thought their existence was perfectly normal. Only a few beings noticed that something was wrong."
Ancient One said, "Situations like this have appeared four times over the past year. That is to say, four worlds have merged into this one. Mutants and Ghost Rider only appeared after World Fusion."
"World Fusion?"
Wang Nanxuan was even more astonished. Ancient One nodded and said, "That's right, World Fusion. Over the past year, I have been searching for the truth, but I found nothing. The only thing I can be certain of is that World Fusion has not ended. It will continue."
No one knew what this world would become in the future. Since you are a very special person, I can allow you to keep the Minor Hell, but I have two conditions."
Wang Nanxuan said, "Let's hear them. Let me make this clear first: I will only accept terms that are not excessive. I finally became a Demon King, so I cannot keep wronging myself like before."
Ancient One looked at Wang Nanxuan and said, "You must not harm humanity on a large scale, much less do anything that could 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 such things."
"A Hell Lord is not necessarily a Great Demon King."
Ancient One shook her head. "Incidentally, after the Minor Hell is established, your Hell will become linked to Earth. If Earth is destroyed, your Hell will suffer a certain amount of impact as well."
"A certain amount of impact?"
Wang Nanxuan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Sorcerer Supreme, did you secretly tamper with something?"
"If I had tampered with it, it would not merely be an impact that does not damage its foundation. Simply put, it would be affected by a Space Storm."
Ancient One said, "Second, you may not collect souls through violence or slaughter. You may only use contracts to have people willingly give you their souls, similar to Mephisto."
