Decisive Sale
"Ah ...
This was Pruke's backup plan. Although the Super Soldier did not reveal Pruke's whereabouts, the information seen through Mind Reading touched upon Pruke's backup plan, which could directly take the Super Soldier's life!
"So they left a hidden trick, huh? But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is what I just saw..." Robet looked at the Super Soldier gradually dying in front of him, without any intention of helping him, because what Robet saw in the Super Soldier's memories was something he couldn't accept.
Because the memory Robet saw was none other than the scene of Pruke ordering his men to prepare 100,000 scapegoats, and it also included the horrific state of those 100,000 scapegoats!
The 100,000 scapegoats had all been captured in a short time, and they were just waiting for Pruke's order to kill them all. These 100,000 scapegoats were mostly old, weak, sick, and disabled, and they were constantly being tortured by Pruke's men. The tragic scene was so pitiful that even Robet could not bear to watch.
Robet didn't consider himself a particularly virtuous person, but the methods Pruke had used were undoubtedly unacceptable to Robet!
"Is Pruke asking for 100,000 scapegoats to sacrifice for Mephisto?" Robet's eyes flickered slightly as he began to ponder. "If something happens to these 100,000 scapegoats, Pruke will probably step in to resolve the situation, right?"
Thinking this, Robet's figure flashed, and he had no intention of staying any longer. Judging from the methods Pruke had left behind, it would be very difficult to find Pruke through these subordinates. It would be better to let Pruke come out on his own!
"Hmm, no, I'll stay here and see how Pruke's men act. As for the 100,000 old, weak, sick, and disabled, let's leave them to Clark. Anyway, no one will know about our relationship with Clark, and it's clearly more appropriate for God of Humanity to save these old, weak, sick, and disabled people..." Robet had originally planned to leave, but saving the world was not his forte, and his image was certainly not as deeply ingrained in people's minds as Clark, the Superman.
One hundred thousand elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people—this is no small matter, and the commotion it will cause will certainly be significant. It's better to leave such a high-profile task to Clark.
Robet quickly contacted Clark and told him about the 100,000 elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people to be sacrificed. Without Robet needing to explain further, Clark went all out and rushed to the destination as soon as Robet heard that 100,000 elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people were to be sacrificed, because he had already seen the tragic state of those elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people.
"Give that Pruke a good beating! Don't let him die so easily!" Clark said telepathically to Robet while tending to the elderly and infirm. The fact that Clark could say something like that showed just how angry Clark was.
"No problem, but this guy might still be able to hide." Robet shrugged, his gaze sweeping across the entire military base. Outside, Tony Stark had successfully brought the situation under control, but inside, only Morbius was searching for clues. As for who had contacted Morbius, Robet hadn't yet found them.
"Found something! I've found a clue to Pruke's presence!" However, just as Robet was waiting for Pruke's men to inform Pruke, Morbius's excited voice came through the team voice chat.
"Hmm? He actually found it?" A hint of surprise flashed in Robet's eyes. Before Robet could speak, Morbius had more news.
"I found him, come with me! Huh? Saiyan, where are you?" After discovering Pruke's whereabouts, Morbius excitedly shouted in the team voice chat, only to realize halfway through that Robet wasn't beside him.
While searching for Pruke's whereabouts and dodging enemy attacks within the base, Morbius had no time to pay attention to Robet's situation, since Robet didn't need Morbius's concern.
However, to Morbius's surprise, Robet disappeared after he finally found a clue, leading Morbius to suspect that Robet might have also found Pruke's trail.
"You lead the way, I'll follow behind." Just as Morbius's thoughts began to wander, Robet's voice came through the team voice chat, "The rest of the work here is up to you guys, Tony. We're going to find Pruke now..."
"Okay, leave it to us!" Tony Stark and Steve agreed. Rushing into this military base and starting a war was actually quite troublesome. Even though they were in the right, they still needed to handle the aftermath properly. Therefore, Tony Stark and Steve didn't follow. As for Bucky, he was still at Tony Stark's house and hadn't come over at all.
"Damn it! How did Superman find those scapegoats? Where are they now?!" On the other side, Pruke, who had been hiding, learned of the news the moment Clark rescued the 100,000 old, weak, sick, and disabled. However, the news did not come from the military base, so Robet was completely unaware. But now that Pruke knew the news, he naturally could no longer hide.
After all, compared to his own safety, Pruke's loyalty to Mephisto was a higher priority at this moment. These 100,000 old, weak, sick, and disabled were sacrifices offered to Mephisto; how could they be rescued by Clark just like that?
Therefore, Pruke immediately chose to take matters into his own hands and retrieved a large amount of information about Clark. However, after seeing some of Clark's actions, Pruke became somewhat hesitant...
Pruke did indeed need to help Mephisto complete this sacrifice, but after seeing Clark's performance, Pruke felt that even with his Demon Body, he was absolutely no match for Clark!
Therefore, Pruke's rationality quickly regained its footing. He looked at his subordinates and ordered, "Wait! Don't rush those 100,000 men. Go to the slums in each state and city, go to South America, and capture another 100,000. Get them all out there, and be quick. We can't let that Superman find out again! I don't know how that guy discovered those scapegoats..."
"Yes!" Faced with Pruke's last-minute change of heart, his subordinates were no longer too surprised. After all, this kind of thing had happened before. They simply obeyed Pruke's orders and went to carry out the new commands.
Moreover, to be honest, these subordinates were still somewhat afraid of dealing with Clark. After all, Clark Superman's name was very prestigious, and even with their supernatural items, they still had no confidence in defeating such a powerful figure from the Clark world.
Fortunately, their leader, Pruke, is now scared, so they can avoid Clark's attacks. They just need to worry about whether the scapegoats they catch later will be discovered by Clark...
"Let's set off now for that base in the south. By the way, has anyone discovered our previous actions?" Pruke was also worried that Clark's side would discover his actions again, so he decided to capture the 100,000 scapegoats and sacrifice them to Mephisto first.
In Pruke's view, as long as he could appease his boss Mephisto, Clark was nothing. Even if Clark was powerful, could he possibly be stronger than the Hell Lord?
"The base in the south has been discovered. It's not just the Avengers who want to find you, General; other military personnel and members of the A.R.G.U.S. also want to find you. However, apart from the Avengers, everyone else has been driven back by our people. But the Avengers have already taken control of our base..." The subordinate's eyes flickered slightly after hearing Pruke's words, and he began to speak in a low voice.
"I'll handle this matter once we've dealt with those scapegoats!" Hearing his subordinate's explanation, Pruke understood his meaning. However, the most crucial issue now was the sacrifice of 100,000 lives. "For now, continue south to another secret base!"
At this point, Pruke had no intention of continuing to use his current identity. Since he was already Demon, he could simply change bodies once he had used up the value of this one. After all, he had so many military leaders he knew well, so replacing them wouldn't be a problem for him at all!
"Yes!" Upon hearing Pruke's words, the subordinate couldn't help but sigh inwardly, but he still instinctively obeyed Pruke's orders and changed the route.
"Hmm? Why does it feel like Pruke has changed locations?" At the same time, a hint of confusion flashed in Morbius's eyes as he was leading Robet in tracking Pruke. He sensed that his target seemed to have deviated from the route he had calculated.
"You point the way, and I'll lead you!" Robet shook his head upon seeing this, grabbed Morbius and said that. Then, guided by Morbius, they flew towards Pruke's location. With Robet's speed, it didn't take long for Robet to lock onto Pruke's aura.
Although I had never met Pruke before, I had seen images of Pruke in the memories of those Super Soldier and knew Pruke identity. Therefore, even though Pruke was still in the fighter jet, Robet still directly locked onto Pruke's location.
"Huh?! What a terrifying feeling!?" Just as Robet locked onto Pruke, Pruke's heart suddenly clenched, and a sense of life-or-death crisis enveloped Pruke, causing Pruke body to tremble involuntarily.
Pruke's eyes were filled with confusion. He didn't understand what he had encountered or why he was so afraid. Even when he faced his master Mephisto, he hadn't been this afraid!
"That's it! Master!" Thinking of Mephisto, Pruke's eyes lit up. He quickly conjured the array that Mephisto had taught him, and amidst the horrified gazes of his subordinates, the array directly devoured the bodies and souls of several of them!
"What do you want?" Mephisto's indifferent dissatisfaction echoed through the fighter jet, making Pruke feel extremely uneasy. "Didn't we agree on 100,000 souls? Now you only have a few. Do you think you can just brush me off?"
"No, Master, I was on my way to prepare offerings for you when I suddenly felt a terrifying sense of impending death. However, I didn't perceive anything, so I sacrificed a few minions to inquire with you..." Pruke's attitude was very humble. This had nothing to do with Pruke's personality; it was because Pruke had been tricked by Mephisto when he Mephisto the contract with him.
"The great terror between life and death? What terror could there be between life and death? You are Demon now. So-called death is nothing more than Earth's innate fear of hell. And for you, hell is like returning home. How could there be danger at home?" Mephisto shook his head with a faint smile when he heard Pruke's words, his voice carrying a hint of deception.
"Is that so?" A hint of hesitation flashed in Pruke's eyes. Although Mephisto's words made a lot of sense, the sense of crisis in his heart had not been eliminated.
With a loud "bang!", just as Pruke was about to say something more, the fighter jet suddenly opened up, and a powerful gust of wind rushed in, along with two figures.
"Mephisto, you're really not picky about food these days. I thought you would just kill this guy, but I didn't expect you to take him under your wing. Those 100,000 lives were just for you, weren't they? Is this your real purpose for coming to Earth?" Robet's gaze fell on the array in Pruke's hand, while simultaneously locking onto Mephisto's aura, preparing to search for Mephisto's location throughout the entire Earth.
With a "crack!", Mephisto, like a gecko shedding its tail to save itself, shattered the formation between itself and Pruke on the spot, its aura vanishing without a trace. At this moment, Robet's aura perception had not yet located Mephisto's location.
"I wonder if Clark will find anything..." Robet frowned. He knew Mephisto was cautious, so he had already contacted Clark beforehand, intending to distract Mephisto. But who knew that Mephisto wouldn't even leave a trace of his presence or consciousness here.
All I can say is that he truly lives up to his reputation as a notorious schemer in the Hell Dimension. His level of caution far exceeded Robet's expectations, and his decisiveness in selling off his subordinates was astounding!
