Old Mo, I Want to Eat Fish

Lu Xi watched from the sky with envy. These superheroes' souls shone brighter than the next.

Aside from Peggy Carter, whom he had already contracted, even a weakling like Daredevil had a soul worth signing, not much less valuable than Peggy's.

Lu Xi stopped watching the show. With a flash, he landed directly on the ground.

His gaze sharpened, and his powerful telekinesis instantly took control of the battlefield.

The demons that had been struggling madly were thrown back into the teleportation array one after another under the force of his telekinesis.

Then Lu Xi looked at the teleportation array and casually waved his hand.

"Boom!"

With a tremendous crash, the teleportation array was instantly shattered.

Seeing this, Spider-Man immediately swung over on his webbing in excitement, chattering nonstop.

"Whoa, you're amazing! I've seen you on TV. You're that Angel, right?"

"My aunt is a huge fan of yours. Could I get an autograph? Aunt May would be so happy. Oh, right, I'm Spider-Man. What should I call you? Lord Angel?"

Lu Xi's face darkened. Sure enough, no matter which version of Peter Parker it was, he was a chatterbox.

His telekinesis passed through the mask, allowing him to see Spider-Man's true appearance. This was the Tom Holland version of Spider-Man.

Lu Xi smiled and said,

"I am Lucifer."

As he spoke, he raised a finger, and several softly glowing Divine Power business cards flew into the hands of Steve, Daredevil, and Spider-Man.

That was the professional integrity of a Demon God. No matter when, he could never forget to do business.

Daredevil and Spider-Man were both stunned, instinctively reading the information contained within the cards.

Steve's reaction, however, was completely different.

He had already accepted the existence of Demon Gods, so he was not overly surprised by the magical card.

Steve frowned and said,

"Sir, I won't make this kind of deal. Please take your card back."

Lu Xi looked at him with a faintly amused smile.

"Don't be so absolute. Trust me, sooner or later, you'll need it."

With that, without giving him another chance to refuse, Lu Xi shot into the sky like a bolt of lightning and vanished from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

Only then did Daredevil come to his senses. He too instinctively rejected this kind of soul transaction.

He tried to throw the card away, tossing it into the distance.

The card traced an arc through the air, then with a whoosh, suddenly reappeared in his hand.

No matter where he threw it, the card would return to him.

The card carried tracking magic. How could a muggle with no foundation in magic like him possibly break it?

The moment Lu Xi returned to the villa, Daisy hurried over, her expression anxious.

"Lord Lucifer, come quickly. Something's wrong with Wanda."

Hearing that, Lu Xi's heart tightened, and he immediately strode toward Wanda's room.

When he pushed open the door, he saw Wanda floating above the bed, panic all over her face, surrounded by dense red Chaos Magic.

Her eyes were filled with fear and helplessness as she cried out tearfully,

"Lord Lucifer, I can't control my powers anymore. What's happening to me?"

Lu Xi hurried closer, frowning as he focused and carefully sensed her condition.

After a moment, he slowly said,

"Your Chaos Magic has grown immensely. It looks like you've completely awakened, but you still can't control it."

Wanda's soul had changed accordingly, becoming even more dazzling, with an extremely high contract value.

Lu Xi fell into thought. So that was the answer. This was the key to contracted souls.

Only by contracting Scarlet Witch Wanda could he receive the empowerment of authority.

So before Wanda awakened, such a contract was ineffective.

Because Wanda, while still an ordinary person, was not yet a key point in the timeline.

At the same time, this indirectly eliminated any chance of him exploiting a bug.

Lu Xi had once imagined that, once he gained the ability to travel through time, he would find superheroes during their infancy.

Maybe he could trick them out of their souls with a lollipop. Now, it seemed that was impossible.

A trace of excitement flashed through Wanda's eyes as she hurriedly asked,

"I've completely awakened? That's great! Once I fully control my powers, I'll definitely be very strong, right?"

Lu Xi gently shook his head, his expression grave.

"If you had awakened on your own, that would naturally be a good thing. But that isn't what happened. Your power was activated by a Demon God."

He narrowed his eyes slightly. He could faintly sense the mark of the Demon God Chthon on Wanda.

It seemed that during the battle just now, Chthon had not been idle either.

While Lu Xi had been fiercely battling Mephisto, Chthon had secretly made some small moves on Earth through the spatial rift.

The excitement on Wanda's face instantly vanished, replaced by deep worry.

"A Demon God? Then what should I do?"

Seeing this, Lu Xi thought for a moment before saying,

"I don't know much about this, but we can find an expert and ask."

With that, he snapped his fingers and called out loudly,

"Old Mo, I want to eat fish."

The next moment, amid a cloud of black smoke, a bewildered Mephisto appeared in the room.

The good news was that Mephisto had finally descended to Earth in his true body.

The bad news was that he was now utterly weak, and even dealing with Captain America would probably be difficult.

When Daisy saw Mephisto in that state, she could not help showing a look of disgust.

"Ew~ What is that thing? It's so ugly."

Mephisto was currently in the form of his red-skinned demonic true body.

His body was twisted and his face ferocious. He truly was not much to look at.

After all, maintaining a human form required magical power.

With his tiny three-bedroom apartment territory, he could no longer afford such extravagance.

Hearing Daisy's words, Mephisto immediately widened his eyes and roared angrily,

"I possess the dignified status of a Demon God! How dare you insult me like this?"

Daisy did not back down and glared right back at him.

"What? You are ugly. Am I not allowed to say it?"

Mephisto looked closer and discovered that Daisy radiated Lucifer's aura from head to toe.

She was obviously the boss's woman. He could only swallow his anger in silence.

Lu Xi waved his hand, pointed at Wanda, and said,

"Enough. Old Mo, explain what's going on."

Mephisto hurriedly restrained his anger. After carefully observing Wanda, his eyes suddenly lit up.

It was as if he had discovered something incredible.

"What a brilliant idea! Why didn't I think of that?"

Lu Xi looked puzzled.

"What are you talking about?"

Mephisto hurriedly explained,

"This lady has been made into a spatial coordinate by Chthon. As her Chaos Magic grows stronger and stronger, Chthon will be able to use the power of that Chaos Magic to open a spatial passage from within, bypassing Earth's defensive array and directly reaching Earth's interior."

He paused, then explained further,

"Simply put, if this lady cultivates her magic to the Skyfather-level, Chthon will be able to descend with Skyfather-level power."

"The stronger she becomes, the stronger the descended Chthon will become."

Upon hearing that, Wanda immediately panicked, her eyes filled with fear.

"Then wouldn't I become Earth's traitor? I don't want to become a Demon God's puppet! Lord Lucifer, I don't want this superpower anymore!"

Hearing this, Lu Xi could not help imagining a scene in his mind.

Wanda bowed and scraped before Chthon, saying,

"Sir, this way, please!"

"Pfft, hahahaha!" Thinking of it, he could not help laughing out loud.

But seeing that Wanda looked like she was about to cry, he quickly suppressed his smile and comforted her.

"It's fine. Don't panic. If I'm sensing correctly, there is also a minimum requirement for activating your humanoid coordinate."

"For Chthon to descend, you will need to grow to at least the Skyfather-level."

Lu Xi looked at Wanda and said seriously,

"You have a high affinity for Chaos Magic. It is the ability best suited to you."

"If Chthon wants to play with fire, then let him play. As long as you stay with me, you won't need to worry about Chthon descending."

After all, by the time Wanda grew to the Skyfather-level, Lu Xi would have made considerable progress at the Universal-level as well.

If he was lucky, he might even reach the Multiversal-level. He was fully confident that he could suppress Chthon's descended avatar at any time.

Mephisto, standing to the side, repeatedly agreed and hurried to flatter his new boss.

"That's right. With Lord Lucifer's power, he can send the descended Chthon back home whenever he wants!"

"This Chaos Magic is basically free power. Why refuse it?"

"If you really find it disgusting, ma'am, you can give the power of Chaos Magic to me instead. I'm not afraid of being used as a coordinate."

Lu Xi glared at him.

"You're still trying to get Chaos Magic? Keep dreaming. Get lost!"

With a wave of his hand, Mephisto was sent back amid that cloud of black smoke to his pathetic little three-bedroom apartment.

Only then did Wanda relax. A trace of determination flashed through her eyes.

"Alright, Lord Lucifer. I believe you."
