"Your strength is still just a little lacking. Why don't you deal with Mephisto first, then come find me?" Ancient One looked at the utterly confident Lucifer and laughed, speaking with the same utter confidence.
"Hmm?" At this point, Lucifer finally sensed that something was wrong. He carefully sized up Ancient One before him, and only after a long while did he speak.
"So, you've hit a bottleneck? That makes sense. Even with the accumulation of energy and rules on the dimensional level, this is still within a single universe. It isn't that easy for a multiverse-level powerhouse to be born outright."
Clearly, the Lucifer of this moment had come to the same conclusion as the earlier Mephisto. Both of them believed Ancient One currently had no possibility of advancing to the multiverse level because Ancient One had encountered a bottleneck.
Therefore, Ancient One needed a true collision, a true battle, a complete eruption of energy and rules. Only then could she truly step into the multiverse level.
"So, you were acting all along? You wanted me to grow as quickly as possible? What a pity. If you had acted a little earlier, perhaps you might still have had some chance..."
With a whoosh, Lucifer's voice fell, and his figure abruptly vanished.
But Lucifer did not attack Ancient One. Instead, he went to trouble Mephisto.
After all, every fragment in Inter-dimensional Space had to be unified in the end. Rather than deal with Ancient One, a powerful enemy ready to strike, it was better to first get rid of Mephisto, the weakling.
Especially since Mephisto was different from Ancient One and Lucifer. Although he had also entered the final circle of the Dimensional War, he had neither his original accumulation nor the ability to swiftly absorb the rules and energy
