Rideshare Thugs

Mephisto looked arrogantly at Lu Xi, his eyes full of mockery.

Lu Xi tilted his head and looked at Chthon and Cyttorak with puzzlement before asking bluntly,

"You two are both Multiversal-level. Why are you following Mephisto into this mess?"

Before the two Demon Gods could speak, Mephisto eagerly answered for them.

Greed filled his face.

"Even supreme Demon Gods would never complain about having too many souls!"

"Besides, Earth has so many high-quality souls. Even to great Demon Gods like them, they're immensely valuable!"

Lu Xi frowned slightly and continued,

"But if your variants die here, wouldn't that be quite a loss?"

As if he had heard the greatest joke in the world, Mephisto threw back his head and laughed.

"Hahaha, how absurdly arrogant! We're all Skyfather-level. Four against one—how could we possibly lose with such an overwhelming advantage?"

Mephisto stopped wasting time. He suddenly shoved Black-Winged Lucifer forward and shouted,

"Vanguard, it's your turn."

Black-Winged Lucifer gave Mephisto a deep look, then charged at Lu Xi without hesitation.

Yet halfway through his charge, his entire body suddenly began to break apart, turning into a surging torrent of energy that poured into Lu Xi.

Lu Xi was startled.

Come on, boss, didn't you say you'd make a move? You're already gone?

What is this now? Two one-star Lucifers combining into a two-star one?

But as the torrent of energy finished flowing into him, he instantly understood a great deal.

[Demon God Authority] get✓

[Hell Lord Authority] get✓

At the same time, the old man Lucifer's voice echoed in his mind.

"Kid, you've been strengthened. Get in there."

Faced with this sudden change, both sides were utterly bewildered.

The three Demon Gods on Mephisto's side sensed that Lu Xi's aura had greatly strengthened and watched him warily.

Lu Xi was likewise unsure whether his current strength was enough to fight three against one, so he did not dare act rashly.

For a time, the standoff remained frozen.

The three Demon Gods carefully sensed him for quite a while, but they still could not gauge Lu Xi's true strength.

Chthon and Cyttorak, the two great Demon Gods, simultaneously turned their gazes toward Mephisto.

The meaning in their eyes could not have been clearer: you were the one who led us here to attack Earth. Now that the vanguard is gone, it's your turn.

Mephisto looked miserable. He neither dared offend those two heavyweights nor could he bear to give up Earth's souls.

Gritting his teeth, he steeled himself and charged forward.

In an instant, he transformed into his true demon form, a hundred meters tall and glowing red all over. Baring his fangs and claws, he viciously stomped down at Lu Xi.

Lu Xi's gaze immediately turned serious. Energy surged through his body as he threw a punch without hesitation.

"Boom!"

That punch contained terrifying power and sent Mephisto flying straight into the sky.

But it was not over. Lu Xi moved so fast that it was like teleportation. In the blink of an eye, he appeared above Mephisto's head and followed up with another downward kick.

Smack, a left front kick.

Boom, a right roundhouse.

Lu Xi was simply too fast—so fast that Mephisto could not react at all.

All he could do was get battered back and forth through the air like a punching bag, utterly unable to fight back.

Once Lu Xi made his move, his true capabilities were exposed as well.

The two great Demon Gods observed carefully from the side.

Chthon said gravely,

"Universal-level! He has fused with all of this universe's Lucifer's Demon God power."

Cyttorak nodded slightly and added,

"Not only that. The authority over this Hell has also been transferred to him."

"He is effectively fighting on home ground. Even among Universal-level beings, he can be considered top-tier!"

That was right. This Hell where they were currently fighting was Black-Winged Lucifer's territory.

They had all previously feared damaging their own territories, so they unanimously chose this place as the battlefield. Unexpectedly, that only ended up benefiting Lu Xi.

Meanwhile, Lu Xi was having the time of his life. He directly used divine power to create a whip.

He lashed Mephisto viciously and even recited an old Blue Star advertisement slogan.

"Log in and get 100 pulls! Idle until you pull yourself to death! Even the unluckiest player can pull to their heart's content!"

Mephisto was being whipped relentlessly and cried out in pain,

"What are you still waiting for? Help me already!"

Hearing this, Cyttorak took a step forward. Just as he was about to act, he instantly felt an intense sense of danger.

The perspective pulled away from Earth and extended all the way to the edge of this universe.

After passing through the universe itself, at an infinitely distant location, there was a Crimson Universe.

As the supreme being of that universe, the Multiversal-level [Lord of Crimson], Cyttorak stood quietly at its center.

He suddenly looked beyond the universe and muttered gravely,

"Hm? Another expert?"

There, an old man with a fishing rod slung over his shoulder was banging on the universal barrier like he was knocking on a door, shouting,

"Hello, rideshare thugs! Is anyone home?"

Cyttorak's expression instantly grew solemn. He could not see through the old man at all.

But one thing was certain: the other party was at least a Multiversal-level being.

In an instant, the power of every Cyttorak variant across all parallel universes was extracted.

He was gathering all his energy to deal with this powerful enemy who had suddenly come knocking.

Within the Marvel Universe, inside the rift above Hell's Kitchen.

Lu Xi was having a blast, whipping Mephisto around like a spinning top.

The hundred-meter-tall red spinning top whirled wildly across the Hell Dimension, kicking up whirlwinds all around it.

Mephisto cried out miserably,

"Hurry up, you guys! I can't hold on much longer! Aaaah!"

Cyttorak's variant in this universe suddenly changed expression and said with utmost seriousness,

"Sorry, I think my dad is about to give birth. I need to go check on him at the hospital."

He then turned into a cloud of black smoke and vanished without a trace.

Mephisto was so furious that his eyes nearly split open as he cursed,

"Cyttorak! I'll fuck your mother!!!"

The moment those words came out, Cyttorak reappeared and said sternly,

"We're all Demon Gods. Isn't betraying each other and stabbing each other in the back perfectly normal? Why are you cursing me?"

"Are you insulting me because you think I wouldn't send my true body to settle the score with you?"

Upon hearing that, Mephisto's face instantly turned purple with fright. While getting beaten and screaming, he hurriedly apologized,

"Ah! Ow! I'm sorry, Lord Cyttorak, ow! I misspoke."

Only then did Cyttorak nod in satisfaction.

"Enough talking. My dad is still waiting for me at the hospital."

Then he disappeared completely once more.

Seeing this, Chthon snorted coldly. Dark magic began surging around him, and he was clearly preparing to attack.

Lu Xi's heart tightened. He made a swift decision, directly released a spatial beacon, and laughed loudly.

"Your scheme has been seen through!"

In an instant, a large number of golden circular portals appeared out of thin air on the ground.

Master Mordo, Master Kaecilius, the one-armed Master Hamir, and the chubby Master Wong each stepped out from the portals.

Immediately afterward, Kamar-Taj's sorcerers emerged from the portals. Aside from the rookies still in training,

every fully qualified sorcerer and above, including the Sanctum sorcerers, came through. Kamar-Taj—fully assembled!

This was one of the plans Lu Xi had previously devised with the Ancient One.

Kamar-Taj's sorcerers would serve as the mobile force in this dimensional war.

Whichever side was in urgent danger, or wherever they could open a breakthrough more quickly, they would be summoned there for support.
