With a buzz, as Mephisto's words fell, the fragment of the Hell Dimension he occupied began to shrink rapidly, slowly vanishing into the Inter-dimensional Space of this universe as if it had disappeared altogether.
Of course, this did not mean Mephisto's Hell Dimension fragment had left this universe or the Inter-dimensional Space. Rather, Mephisto had used special means to hide it.
Strictly speaking, the Mephisto in Robet's universe did not possess such an ability, because the Mephisto in Robet's universe had never fully controlled the Hell Dimension he occupied. That vast Hell Dimension was not something a single Hell Dimension Lord could control.
But the Mephisto of this universe was different. The Hell Dimension in this universe had never been unified at all, and instead existed in a state where countless Hell Dimension fragments were divided and ruled separately.
There might even be a lucky person in this universe who accidentally wandered into a Hell Dimension fragment, became the master of that Hell Dimension fragment, and obtained power equivalent to the level of a Hell Dimension Lord. Something like that would be impossible in Robet's universe.
Perhaps there were lucky people in Robet's universe who could become lords of other newly born dimensions, but becoming a Hell Dimension Lord was impossible.
And now, the Mephisto of this universe had used his absolute control over the Hell Dimension fragment he occupied to hide it completely. In the eyes of outsiders, that piece of the Hell Dimension looked as though it had vanished entirely.
Counting it this way, the Hell Lords of this universe were somewhat safer than the Hell Lords of Robet's universe. At the very least, this method of concealment was far more useful than the kind of isolating barrier used by the Hell Lords in Robet's universe.
