The Black Shadow Appears Again

"Thank you for your hard work. If it weren't for your help, Mephisto might have really succeeded this time..." Ancient One nodded to Robet and Clark. They had done a good deed, so she had to acknowledge it, especially Robet.

Clark the Ancient One can be left relatively unattended, since this God of Humanity rarely kills unless it involves family members like Robet. Even when he intervenes to save people, he is careful not to let his actions affect ordinary people. As long as Clark's family is safe, he will not lose control.

But Robet is different. Not only is Robet a person who loves fighting, but the ferocity of the Great Ape Power: Wrath has never been concealed. In addition, Robet Central City killed countless people, although most of them were people who offended Robet. However, it is undeniable that in Robet's eyes, life is not so precious.

Therefore, the Ancient One felt that she should praise Robet a little to give Robet a sense of accomplishment. Even if Robet couldn't be firmly on the side of Lawful Good, it would be good enough if he could stand on the neutral side!

"Didn't the Ancient One know about Mephisto's plan before?" A hint of surprise flashed in Clark's eyes. If it were just a supernatural event on Earth, perhaps the Ancient One wouldn't have paid too much attention. But the actions of a dimensional being like Mephisto shouldn't have been kept from Ancient One.

"You're overthinking it. You're not omniscient either, and neither am I. Even if Earth is involved in events that happen in other dimensions, I can't know everything, let alone the countless hands Mephisto has to go through..." Ancient One shook her head at Clark and explained softly.

"When I was with the Saiyan in the Mirror Dimension, I did know that Mephisto had his own schemes, but unfortunately, I didn't know about this Subspace. So if it weren't for your help this time, we would have been in real trouble..."

"Although you just defeated Mephisto, realistically, if he were to unleash his full power, neither of us would be a match for him. If he had absolute home-field advantage, even the two of us combined wouldn't be a guaranteed win. Fortunately, that didn't actually happen..."

"It's alright, we're all part of Earth, this is what we should do..." Clark slowly shook his head and said with a smile.

"The fight was a bit rushed. If he hadn't been in such a hurry, we could have had a proper battle. But due to the urgency of the situation, I could only destroy that Subspace..." Robet sighed softly, saying with some regret.

An enemy like Mephisto is extremely rare, especially since Mephisto's power was not yet at an unparalleled level when he first controlled the Earth Demon.

Unfortunately, even with his belligerent nature, Robet couldn't afford to disregard the safety of the entire planet and engage in a slow, drawn-out sparring session with Mephisto. If Mephisto were to achieve his goal, Robet would become a sinner against the Earth...

"How about this, if any powerful beings at the Dimension Lord level want to invade Earth in the future, I'll contact you, okay? Of course, if their strength reaches the level of Sub-Skyfather or even higher, I won't force you to take action!" Ancient One's eyes darted around after hearing Robet's words, and she suddenly looked at Robet and said with a smile.

For the Ancient One, this had two advantages: it allowed Robet to vent her fighting spirit, and it saved her a lot of energy.

Ever since she helped Wanda capture Dimensional Beings in another dimension and took a vacation along the way, the Ancient One has been longing for rest more and more. But unfortunately, her position and responsibilities mean that she can't really rest.

As for the so-called successor, before Robet came to Earth, when the Ancient One could still glimpse something through the Time Stone, Ancient One was surprised to find that she did not have any successor. Since her birth, she had been working for the Earth Dimension and protecting it.

In essence, the Ancient One and the Guardian of the Shadow Hunter are not much different; the only difference is that the Ancient One is more powerful and has a wider range of activities.

"Sure, if you really find a suitable strong person, you can contact me. However, you'll need a suitable battleground. This Subspace is quite good, for example. When I'm in here, I don't need to hold back at all and can unleash my full destructive power..." Robet's eyes lit up after hearing the Ancient One's words, and he looked at the Ancient One with a smile.

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll contact you when I have the chance." Ancient One nodded, and the Portal opened again, her figure disappearing.

All things considered, the Portal undoubtedly caused a greater disturbance. However, the Portal had more offensive capabilities than the Guardian's Portal and could also teleport to much farther places, unlike the Guardian's Portal which was limited to Earth.

"Alright, I have other things to attend to, so I'll be leaving." After the Ancient One left, Clark glanced at Robet, but showed no intention of speaking to Constantine, and then vanished in a flash.

"I'm leaving first. You... if you can't hold on, try to reduce your debts or make yourself stronger..." Robet shook his head at Constantine beside him and advised, "This time, with that Blackheart, you could have just sacrificed yourself to increase your strength as you originally said. Why pay off your debts first? You already have so much debt..."

"There's no other way. The Hell Dimension hasn't had Demon capable of scheming for too long. If I don't pay back, they'll really come knocking on my door..." Constantine looked weakly at Robet, not saying the rest of his sentence, but it was probably a question about whether Robet could help him take on some of the debt.

In any case, Constantine felt that compared to the debt incurred from the Healing Spell, his own debt was negligible, and Robet should be able to afford it...

"Heh." Robet chuckled at Constantine, then vanished in a flash, leaving only a voice behind, "Let's see if you can find a few more Demon King to help you pay off your debts!"

"I will try my best!" Constantine's eyes lit up, and hope was rekindled, because Robet's words meant that he could continue to sacrifice Demon King similar to the Blackheart to pay off his debts.

As for Robet's suggestion to improve his own strength first, Constantine did not choose it, because Constantine's remaining debts were also about to be due, and the strength he could improve in a short time would definitely not be comparable to those Dimensional Debt Collector.

In particular, Constantine didn't have the audacity and power of Robet, who not only dared to attack the Dimensional Debt Collector but also dared to order them to go back and call for Dimensional Debt Collector...

With a "whoosh!" but filled with excitement, Constantine returned to the Magic Base and began searching for an opportunity to seduce the Hell Demon King.

After all, Mephisto's plan has failed this time, and Mephisto probably has no way to stop the Demon King in the Hell Dimension from keeping their eyes on Earth. Once those Hell Demon King set their sights on Earth, that will be Constantine's chance!

Meanwhile, at Thor's base, the brainwashing of the Asgardian Four had been completed, and Thor had orchestrated the entire process of this brainwashing.

Thor naturally felt some guilt towards his four former companions, so Thor couldn't allow them to take orders from other Hydra members. After brainwashing them, Thor still made the Asgardian Four the highest-ranking people in the entire Hydra Base besides himself.

Moreover, the specially designed brainwashing content made the Asgardian Four essentially no different from before, except that they stayed on Earth to assist Thor in establishing a foundation, remaining loyal to him.

After the Asgardian Four was successfully brainwashed, their strength was greatly enhanced because they were also successfully injected with the Super Soldier Serum.

Thor's successful injection of the Super Soldier Serum was not an accident. The Super Soldier Serum successfully enhanced the human portion of the Asgardian Four's power, namely their physical strength.

As for the divine power belonging to the gods, the Super Soldier Serum couldn't enhance it; Thor's awakening of divine power was more due to a change in his state of mind...

Under the training of Thor and the Asgardian Four, the Hydra Base, whose strength had been severely weakened, gradually recovered. The number of Animal Warriors did not increase too quickly, but the number of Super Soldier increased dramatically.

Moreover, the individual strength of the Animal Warriors has also been significantly enhanced, thanks to the Asgardian Four's unique interpretation of Animal Warriors.

Admittedly, the Asgardian Four had never seen Animal Warriors before arriving on Earth. However, Orc life forms do exist in the universe, and the Asgardian Four could easily use this knowledge to make suggestions regarding the original Animal Warriors experiment, making the experiment more complete.

Of course, this also led to a stark difference in the development of Animal Warriors at Thor's Hydra Base compared to Baron Strucker's. However, Baron Strucker's side hasn't been seen for a long time, so it's really unclear how far the Animal Warriors experiments have progressed.

Baron Strucker probably never imagined that while he was in hiding and developing his power quietly, this branch of Hydra was still led by Valmont. Before he even returned, the leader of this branch of Hydra had changed from Valmont to Hak foo, and then to Thor. This speed of generational change really made the other branches of Hydra take notice.

Of course, this rapid generational shift also led those Hydra branches to look down on Thor's Hydra lineage, considering them as new money with no real foundation. They couldn't believe that Thor, this new money, actually had a plan to swallow up the entire Hydra...

However, Thor's plan was challenged before it even began, because Hak foo, who had disappeared, had returned!

Within the mountainside where Barry Allen had previously created a large breach, in a dark corner, a Dark Space was hidden. Hak foo's body had previously been in this Dark Space, and the power of the Shadow-Devouring Mask was eroding Hak foo's consciousness.

However, Hak foo is no pushover either. Not to mention that Hak foo is a martial arts master, after successfully injecting the Super Soldier Serum, Hak foo clearly forged his own path to becoming a strongman. His willpower is extremely firm, and his strength Super Saiyan Super Soldier. Even Thor, before awakening his divine power, did not go as far down this path as Hak foo!

Therefore, it wasn't so easy for the Shadow-Devouring Mask to devour and control Hak foo's body. If it weren't for the opportunity of Hak foo's injury, the Shadow-Devouring Mask wouldn't have even had a long time to confront Hak foo's consciousness, let alone let Hak foo remain unconscious for so long.

At this moment, Hak foo awoke, successfully suppressing the consciousness of the Shadow-Devouring Mask Shadow-Devouring Mask gaining control of its power, thus acquiring immense Dark Power!

"The Shadow-Devouring Mask, the Shadow-Devouring Legion... I never imagined I would obtain this power!" Hak foo muttered to himself, wearing the Shadow-Devouring Mask with a single horn on his head. "The former Demon Sorcerer was able to control the power of the Shadowkhan Demon Sorcerer, but he didn't obtain the Mask. I don't know how he did it. However, the power behind this Shadow-Devouring Mask is even stronger than I imagined..."

With a "whoosh!", as Hak foo finished speaking, Shadow-Devouring Soldiers appeared around Hak foo. Compared to the other Shadowkhan that had appeared before, these Shadow-Devouring Soldiers resembled small sharks in appearance, but were very small, perhaps even smaller than a cat or dog. However, their stealth was far superior to that of the other Shadowkhan!

More importantly, the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers possess a power that is subtly stronger than that of other Shadowkhan: the ability to devour the shadows of other creatures!

As the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers devour more shadows, their strength will grow, and it's not impossible for them to surpass all the Shadowkhan!

"Let me see where my men are now, and what they're doing. Could they have been wiped out by those guys who can generate electricity and run fast?" Hak foo's eyes flickered slightly. As his words fell, one by one, the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers disappeared into the darkness, heading off to find Hak foo's original men.

After obtaining the Shadow-Devouring Mask, Hak foo was no longer afraid of Peter Parker and Barry Allen. The Shadow-Devouring Mask gave him a powerful escape ability, and the ability of the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers to devour shadows caught many people off guard. Those whose shadows were devoured would fall into a coma due to the loss of energy. This was Hak foo's trump card!
