Mephisto and the Mirror Dimension

"No rush, I have the Joker Knight with me, I don't need to do anything myself..." Although he really wanted to kill Robet, Mephisto quickly calmed down. After all, they were on Earth, and he hadn't yet gone through various means to avoid detection in Earth Dimension. Making a move on Earth would easily lead to being discovered and expelled. Therefore, he took a deep look at Robet, and just as his figure was about to disappear, he suddenly found Robet standing in front of him.

"A phantom of consciousness? Interesting!" Robet stared at Mephisto, scrutinizing him. Sensing a depth of consciousness far surpassing that of the Hell Demon King, Robet said with some surprise, "You... you wouldn't happen to be Mephisto, would you?"

Robet hadn't initially suspected Mephisto, but the other's mental power far surpassed that of the Hell Demon King, and since Robet was the only Hell Lord Mephisto had ever heard of, Robet naturally guessed that it was Mephisto.

Robet simply couldn't understand why Mephisto's emotions were so volatile when he saw him, as if there was some deep-seated hatred between Mephisto, even though this was Robet's first time meeting Mephisto!

"Yes, that's Mephisto ..." Constantine, who was secretly observing from inside the Magic Base, also recognized Mephisto's aura. He frowned and looked at Mephisto in confusion, asking, "But why didn't I sense anything unusual when I called your name earlier?"

"You mere humans, what you know is only what we want you to know. It's laughable that you think you can see through all the methods of the Hell Lord," Mephisto said with a cold smile, looking at Robet and Constantine mockingly. "The Hell Lord's strength is beyond the comprehension of you mere humans..."

"Since the Hell Lord is so powerful, why don't you show your true power to me?" Robet shrugged, interrupting Mephisto, and looked Mephisto up and down. "It seems that this avatar of your consciousness can't even use a shred of power. You seem to be afraid of something. No wonder calling your name didn't cause any problems; it's because you can't use any other means, isn't it?"

"Hahahaha!" Just as Robet finished speaking, the Joker, who had been sent flying by Robet and was preparing to retaliate, suddenly burst into mocking laughter, attracting the attention of everyone around. Even Mephisto frowned, wanting to see what profound words the Joker had to say this time.

"You're right, this cowardly Hell Lord is just trash! He sounds all high and mighty, but nobody dares to mess with him!" Seeing everyone's gazes, the Joker grinned maliciously and looked at Mephisto with undisguised mockery.

"Even after arriving on Earth, he didn't dare reveal a single bit of his power, afraid of being discovered. Like a rat in a sewer, he tried to lure me to this place, and even spent many days preparing. It's laughable. Does he really think I don't know his plans?"

"Crack! Crack!" As the Joker's words fell, or rather, even before Joker finished speaking, the surrounding ground began to crack continuously. Faced with Robet and the Joker's repeated mockery, could Mephisto, the Hell Lord, possibly tolerate it?

Even though Mephisto is one of the few cunning and scheming lords among the Hell Lord, and prefers to rely on plots and tricks, as Hell Demon, the ferocity, savagery, and madness etched into the very essence of the Hell Dimension are unavoidable.

At this moment, Mephisto's ferocious and violent nature was awakened, which allowed Mephisto to gradually communicate with his true self in the Hell Dimension. A terrifying power was rising from Mephisto's illusory consciousness, making the illusory image increasingly solid.

"Good! I've finally forced out this old guy's power! So, what about that power next? Will it appear? My understanding of this world has improved a bit..." The Joker showed no fear as he watched Mephisto's power erupt, because that was exactly what he wanted to achieve. However, what happened next left the Joker somewhat bewildered.

With a "whoosh!", Mephisto's aura, which was originally rising in power, suddenly stopped. An invisible force seemed to be enveloping Mephisto, suppressing Mephisto aura.

The Joker didn't recognize or understand this power. Joker subconsciously thought it was the power that had been hidden in the shadows when he signed the contract last time.

However, Robet and Constantine, who had a broader perspective than the Joker, knew that this was not the work of any particular force or individual, but rather that the Earth Dimension was repelling Mephisto.

After all, unlike the previous incarnation of a drop of Demon Blood, this Mephisto is now merely a consciousness descending, and the Earth Dimension does not recognize the power that Mephisto has now imbued into his consciousness!

Simply put, that drop of Demon Blood was eventually cleansed through various means and was accepted by the Earth Dimension. Before a consciousness possesses power, the Earth Dimension doesn't care about it. But Mephisto, now possessing power, is a huge threat to the Earth Dimension, Mephisto must pay the price!

"Buzz!" After a long while, Mephisto's power suddenly decreased until it turned back into the phantom it had been at the beginning. Then it suddenly rose up again, and its terrifying power once again condensed between heaven and earth, causing the surrounding ground to tremble continuously!

"What's going on?" A hint of wariness flashed in the Joker's eyes as he stroked the chains in his hands, seemingly looking for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Mephisto.

"The Earth Dimension just let him go like that? They only paid some energy? What's this? Is it like buying a ticket?" Unlike the Joker, Robet keenly sensed the reason for the change in Mephisto's Shang-Chi. A powerful force had merged into the Earth Dimension, ultimately keeping Mephisto on Earth.

While it's called buying tickets, Robet sees it more like paying protection money, a practice similar to paying magical fees to those dimensions.

However, Robet felt that even if Mephisto paid protection money, he wouldn't be able to run rampant on Earth. If everyone could pay protection money and unleash their full power on Earth, it would be a huge destructive and draining force on Earth Dimension itself...

"Heh, although I paid a heavy price, this power is enough to deal with you..." Mephisto stared at Robet and said, "When you kept calling my name and disturbing me, I wanted to kill you and condemn you to eternal damnation. Didn't you just say that I couldn't use my power? Are you satisfied with your current power?"

"Hmm, he did say that too, so why don't you deal with him?" Robet raised an eyebrow and pointed to the Joker beside him as he asked.

"Because he thinks I'm his lackey, and he expects me to do a lot for him, so why would he personally deal with me?" The Joker said with a smile as Robet Robet.

"Oh, I see. So, do you want to take him down?" Robet nodded knowingly, looking at the Joker with a smile. "If you want to take him down, I'll have to beat you up along with him. After all, I hate it when people steal my opponents..."

Even with the Joker's usual thought process, he couldn't keep up with Robet. Normally, wasn't it because he was asked to fight Mephisto together, only to be cruelly rejected? Now, Robet's sudden change of heart gave the Joker a sense of déjà vu, as if he had encountered someone like Robet before.

"Damn it!" Just as Robet finished speaking and the Joker's smile froze, Mephisto suddenly attacked. Terrifying power erupted instantly, and just as he was about to strike Robet, the world around them suddenly began to spin. Mephisto and Robet were immediately lifted into the air, watching as the surrounding buildings and structures spun continuously.

Meanwhile, the Joker, Constantine, Clary, and the others remained on the ground, their heads facing the sky, but they showed no sign of falling into the sky, as if gravity was still pulling them down.

"Mirror Dimension!" Constantine was the first to report the reason for the change in the surrounding environment, even before Mephisto. Besides the Portal, what Constantine most wanted to learn from Kamar-Taj was this Mirror Dimension. As long as he mastered this move, he would be invincible and have absolute home-field advantage!

Of course, this is on the premise that your strength is not too far behind your opponent's. Otherwise, not only will it be difficult to trap the target in the Mirror Dimension, but even if you do manage to trap the target in the Mirror Dimension, it will be easily broken free...

"Ancient One!" Mephisto narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice to those around him, "I have made an agreement with the Earth Dimension. If you obstruct me, it means that the Earth side has violated the unspoken rules. At that time, it won't just be me, a Hell Lord, coming to knock on the gate!"

"I didn't stop you..." Just as Mephisto finished speaking, a figure appeared beside him—it was the Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One!

"???" When they saw the Ancient One, everyone except Mephisto and Constantine was stunned for a moment, because her loli-like appearance was quite different from what they had imagined. Robet even started to wonder, "Is she some kind of nonsensical powerhouse? Arale? Does she also like playing with poop?"

"Then what do you mean by this?" While Robet and the others were somewhat distracted by the image of the Ancient One, Mephisto narrowed his eyes and looked at the Ancient One, asking in a deep voice.

If this were in the Hell Dimension, Mephisto certainly wouldn't be afraid of the Ancient One. Let alone one Sorcerer Supreme, even the entire lineage of Sorcerer Supreme combined wouldn't cause any trouble in Hell. The power of the Hell Dimension now is beyond the imagination of outsiders!

Unfortunately, Mephisto is currently on Earth, which is the Ancient One's home turf. Moreover, Mephisto has paid a price, but that doesn't mean he can bring all his power to Earth. His current strength is far inferior to the Ancient One's, even though this isn't the Ancient One's home turf!

"It doesn't mean anything. You guys fight your way. You're just an avatar, so there's no point in me targeting you..." Ancient One shrugged, her innocent face flashing with a deceptive expression. However Mephisto, who had dealt with Ancient One many times, knew that this seemingly innocent girl was actually quite ruthless!

The Ancient One deceived and tricked countless dimensions of power. It's safe to say that Constantine's feeling of a kindred spirit in the Ancient One was not unfounded, because the Ancient One was probably a super-powerful, invincible, plus-maximum version of Constantine's personality and methods!

Therefore, faced with the sudden appearance of the Ancient One, Mephisto couldn't possibly trust Robet with peace of mind. He feared that the Ancient One might take this opportunity to do something to him. Although it was just an avatar, who could guarantee that the Ancient One wouldn't use some strange magic on his true self?

In particular, the Ancient One might be able to make magic work twice: once with the power of the magic itself, and once by transferring the cost of the magic to Mephisto's true form. As for why Mephisto is so familiar with it, it's because this is exactly what the Ancient One did!

"My true self is already contacting the other Hell Lord of Hell. If you dare to make a move, then war will be waiting for Earth!" Mephisto, still worried about the Ancient One, narrowed his eyes and stared at her, speaking in Ancient One deep voice.

"Don't forget, the gap in Earth Dimension hasn't healed yet. If we force a war, it's not impossible to widen the gap in Earth Dimension. At that time, it won't just be our Hell Dimension that will attack Earth. There are quite a few people eyeing a dying, delicious prey!"

"I already told you, I didn't mean to attack you..." Ancient One sighed, seemingly helpless, and explained with Old Gods innocent expression, "You came to Earth as a result of the successful transaction. Earth Dimension isn't stopping you anymore, so naturally I won't stop you either. But I can't just watch Earth be destroyed, can I?"

"I will not destroy Earth before I have it..." Mephisto retorted, frowning.

"I wasn't talking about you..." Ancient One glanced at Robet beside her. Robet had already unleashed nuclear-level destructive power during his battle with the top-tier Demon King, and that was only after Robet consciously controlled the destructive force. He had even destroyed a Subspace. Ancient One felt that if she hadn't intervened in this battle between Mephisto and Robet, at least half of Earth would have been wiped out...

"Are you talking about me? I've been very careful to control my destructive power..." Seeing the Ancient One's expression, Robet scratched his head awkwardly and said embarrassedly.
