Space Finally Appears
"So, this was all part of your plan. But I don't believe you'd be so kind as to hand over the opportunity to invade Earth to your son, even if he is your son!" Carter Slade stared at Mephisto Mephisto hearing his words, and then suddenly sneered.
"It's alright, just wait and see!" Mephisto's lips curled up slightly, ignoring Carter Slade's mockery, and he said confidently.
From Mephisto's perspective, Blackheart, led by his subordinates, successfully seized the San Savatigan Contract. Once the follow-up matters are completed, Mephisto can reap the rewards of this victory.
Of all those who had tried to stop him, Carter Slade was already dead, his soul now with Mephisto. Mephisto didn't think anyone else could stop the Blackheart operating on Earth.
Besides, Blackheart's strength is actually not bad. After all, he is a Hell Demon King. He was too afraid of death and too cowardly before. But now that he has obtained the San Savatigan Contract, if someone really stands up to stop him from becoming a lord, Blackheart should be furious and take action!
After all, if even at a time like this, Blackheart could retreat out of fear, then Mephisto felt that Blackheart might not be his own offspring, much less Demon from the Hell Dimension. There wouldn't be such a cowardly Demon in the Hell Dimension; even the lowest-ranking Demon harbored a desire to climb up!
Meanwhile, at the tavern entrance, the waiter's expression changed upon seeing that Carter Slade was lifeless. He quickly called out, "Guardian! Guardian, please teleport me, this horse, and the old man over here..."
With a "whoosh!", as the waiter finished speaking, a spatial fluctuation appeared beside him, teleporting Carter Slade, the waiter, and the old horse away.
"What's going on? Where's the waiter? He's gone!" Just then, a drunk man walked out of the tavern, looked at the empty doorway, and muttered, "Hmph! Slacking off during work hours. Is it Field's shift today? I'm going to complain to their boss! Even workers in the supernatural world can't slack off like this..."
Inside the Magic Base, Field appeared with Carter Slade and the old horse. The Guardian looked at Field with some confusion, not understanding why he had brought a horse, especially since Carter Slade on horseback seemed to be lifeless...
"His name was Carter Slade. Before he died, he told me something about Mephisto! And Constantine?" Field shook his head and said solemnly.
"Huh?!" The Guardian's expression changed upon hearing this, not only because of Mephisto's formidable reputation, but also because Robet and Constantine had recently been investigating Mephisto, and unexpectedly, Field had brought back information.
Of course, the credit for bringing back intelligence this time cannot be entirely attributed to Field. Constantine also deserves a great deal of credit, because it was under Constantine's arrangement that those Shadow Hunter who had lost their supernatural powers went to various gathering places of supernatural powers to work, earning wages while gathering information.
As for safety, there's no need to worry. Not only is the safety level of this kind of gathering place itself quite high, but the Guardian's Portal allow these Shadow Hunter, who have lost their supernatural powers, to escape most of the dangers.
Moreover, although these Shadow Hunter have lost their superhuman powers, their physical abilities are still quite good. They are still quite capable fighters among ordinary people, and their alertness is also excellent. They have provided Constantine with a lot of secret information about the superhuman world.
"Mephisto's message? Hmm? What's this?" Just as the Guardian was about to contact Robet and Constantine, Robet appeared. He hadn't left the Magic Base; he had overheard Field's words and quickly appeared here.
"By the way, Saiyan, do you think you can save him..." Field was originally going to tell him what Carter Slade had said before, but he quickly remembered that Robet possessed such a broken ability as Healing Spell. After all, the powerful performance of Healing Spell was unforgettable for every Shadow Hunter. Therefore, Field wanted Robet to see if Carter Slade could still be saved.
"I know Healing Spell, not resurrection magic. His life force has completely disappeared, and he doesn't seem to be injured. I can't bring him back to life. So, did he pass the message to you?" Robet glanced at Carter Slade on horseback, noticed the old horse's somewhat intelligent and expectant gaze, shook his head, and sighed softly, "Since he would pass on a message under these circumstances, it must be very important. Tell me what he passed on!"
Field felt a pang of regret. Although he didn't think Carter Slade Carter Slade, the ancient Greece soldier who delivered messages, and perhaps even more so. Pheidippides tirelessly and despite his injuries, delivering the news of victory, while Carter Slade Pheidippides against death, stubbornly persisting even when he was destined to die, and recounted the conspiracy of hell.
"Oh, okay!" Gradually, Field, regaining his composure, quickly relayed Carter Slade's information. "The old hero Carter Slade said that Mephisto's son Blackheart, has come to Earth. He's a Hell Demon King, and he's stolen the San Savatigan Contract. We must go to San Savatigan to stop him, otherwise he'll completely take root on Earth. And the address of San Savatigan is..."
"Blackheart? Not Mephisto? Just a Hell Demon King?" Robet was taken aback. This was quite different from what he had initially imagined. He had thought that Mephisto had come to Earth again.
However, Robet quickly realized something was amiss. Mephisto's previous possession of the Joker's body had just been destroyed by Clark, and now Mephisto's son Blackheart, had appeared. There must be a conspiracy involving Mephisto!
After all, Mephisto knew not only Clark's strength but also Robet's. A mere Hell Demon King was no match for him, and might not even be as powerful as the Joker. Therefore, Mephisto must have left some kind of trick on Blackheart. It couldn't have been Blackheart who came to Earth on his own, could it?
"Guardian, open the Portal!" With that thought, Robet looked at the Guardian and said.
"Alright!" The Guardian, aware of the situation, quickly activated the Portal, then froze in shock.
"Huh? What's going on? The Portal is malfunctioning?" Because the Guardian's Portal had malfunctioned again, and it felt different from the time they encountered the power of the Space Stone.
"Can you pinpoint the state or city?" Robet frowned upon seeing this. He knew things weren't that simple. The fact that San Savatigan had taken a liking to Mephisto and even traveled to Earth several times to search for it for so long meant it couldn't be a simple place!
"Hmm... it works!" The Guardian tried it and breathed a sigh of relief. The Portal wasn't broken; it seemed there really was a problem in the northwest of the city!
With a "whoosh!" Robet quickly entered the Portal and appeared in the city where San Savatigan was located. He then quickly headed northwest to find San Savatigan's location.
However, Robet tried to sense the surroundings for a long time, but neither his Qi perception nor his mental power could detect the presence of San Savatigan. Robet even tried astral projection, but still found nothing.
"What's going on? Is the intelligence wrong? Could it be that Carter Slade was delirious when he was on the verge of death and gave the wrong information?" After some investigation, a look of doubt flashed in Robet's eyes. He had already exhausted all means, but he still couldn't find the location of San Savatigan. Robet felt that something was wrong.
"Clark?" Robet promptly contacted Clark to see if Clark could detect anything different.
With a "whoosh!", Clark quickly appeared beside Robet, but Clark also frowned, because he also couldn't find anything unusual. Whether it was within his line of sight or his mental probe, this was an ordinary place.
"Are you sure your information is accurate?" Now, even Clark was starting to doubt Robet's source of information.
"At first, I had the same suspicion, but the question is, if there's nothing wrong here, why can't the Portal teleport me here?" Robet shrugged, pointing out the most puzzling aspect.
If the Portal hadn't been unable to reach this place, Robet would have genuinely thought the intelligence was wrong. However, the fact that the Portal couldn't reach them only strengthened Robet's belief that something serious was amiss here. The more Robet and Clark couldn't find any trace of it, the more powerful the hidden object must be!
"Yes, that is indeed a problem!" Clark nodded after learning about the Portal. After all, the Portal had had problems before, but that had proven that the places the Portal couldn't reach were special locations.
"But are we just going to stay here and keep watch?" Clark quickly frowned. There was something wrong here that they couldn't detect. They couldn't just stay here and wait, could they?
"Hmm... It's not us guarding this place, it's you keeping an eye on things. If anyone appears, just let me know!" Robet thought for a moment and immediately gave his answer. "After all, that Blackheart obtained the San Savatigan Contract, he can't possibly not come, right? Maybe the hidden power here will only manifest when that San Savatigan Contract appears? I don't believe these Demon can really cause trouble completely silently!"
"Alright, I'll keep an eye on this side. After all, there's no other way..." Clark nodded helplessly. They had gained nothing, and it seemed they couldn't find any other method besides this one.
Soon, Clark and Robet left, but Clark continued to watch the place, waiting for a Hell Demon King called Blackheart to appear.
Clark, however, had some doubts. He didn't quite understand how the Blackheart, this Hell Demon King, had come to Earth. After all, there wasn't another Hell Demon King on Earth right now. If the Hell Demon King was trying to sneak in, he should have been discovered by him, right?
While Clark was filled with doubt and secretly observing, on the other side, the Blackheart, guided by the Earth Demon who had turned into stone, was fulfilling the prerequisites for activating the San Savatigan Contract.
Yes, after obtaining the San Savatigan Contract, there's a complicated process before you can go to San Savatigan to activate it. Otherwise, Mephisto would have done it himself long ago and wouldn't have spent so much time on Earth without completing the mission, although finding San Savatigan also took quite a while...
"Damn it! Does this stupid contract really require so many conditions to open?!" Blackheart's patience was dwindling as he went through one tedious condition after another. If it weren't for the position of lord, and if it weren't for the fact that only Earth Demon among his three subordinates was still alive and unable to move, Blackheart really wouldn't want to go through these tedious procedures himself.
Of course, if the Earth Demon could really act on its own, the Blackheart probably wouldn't dare to make Earth Demon do these tedious conditions. After all, the Blackheart wouldn't completely believe that the Earth Demon had no ulterior motives. The Earth Demon is in a pretty good state; the Blackheart just hasn't experienced anything like this before and has some complaints in its heart.
No one knows how long Blackheart had worked, but he finally completed the preliminary task of the San Savatigan Contract and began to release the San Savatigan Contract's light. Blackheart was thrilled.
Meanwhile, Clark, who was observing the location of San Savatigan, suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He sensed a mysterious power surging in the area he was observing, which instantly excited Clark.
"Robet! Something's happened! Extraordinary power has appeared there!" Clark quickly contacted Robet and flew towards San Savatigan's location.
Shortly after, Clark and Robet appeared above San Savatigan. They gazed at the open space below, their eyes flickering slightly. After a long while, Robet spoke, "So, there's a Subspace here? It wasn't visible before, which is why we couldn't see it? But it seems we have no way to enter this Subspace!"
Robet and Clark were quite familiar with the Subspace, after all, the Savage Island was a Subspace, still being modified by Jor-El. However, the Subspace below was clearly more special than the Savage Island; it was more like a mystical Subspace, perhaps even more similar to Themyscira, which Robet had never seen before...
