Old Mo, I Want to Eat Fish

Lu Xi watched from the sky with greedy eyes. The souls of these superheroes shone brighter than the last.

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

A thunderous explosion rang out, and the teleportation array was instantly shattered to pieces.

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

"Whoa, you're really strong! I saw you on TV. You're that Angel, right?"

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

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

His telekinesis passed through the mask, revealing Spider-Man's original appearance. This was the Holland version of Spider-Man.

Lu Xi smiled and said,

"I am Lucifer."

As he spoke, he raised a finger. Several divine business cards radiating a gentle glow flew into the hands of Steve, Daredevil, and Spider-Man respectively.

That was the professional standard of a Demon God. He could never forget to do business, no matter the time.

Daredevil and Spider-Man were both stunned, instinctively reading the information contained in 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 strange business card.

Steve frowned and said,

"Sir, I will not make this sort of deal. Please take your card back."

Lu Xi looked at him with a faint smile.

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

With that, he gave the other man no chance to refuse again. He 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 react. He, too, instinctively rejected this kind of soul transaction.

He tried to throw away the card, tossing it outward.

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

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

The card carried tracking magic. As a Muggle with no foundation in magic whatsoever, how could he possibly break it?

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

"Lord Lucifer, come take a look. Something seems 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 with panic written all over her face, surrounded by dense red Chaos Magic.

Her eyes were filled with fear and helplessness as she cried out in a trembling voice,

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

Lu Xi hurried over, his brow deeply furrowed as he focused and carefully sensed her condition.

After a moment, he slowly said,

"Your Chaos Magic has greatly strengthened. It looks like you've fully awakened, but you still can't control it."

Correspondingly, Wanda's soul had changed as well. It had become even more dazzling, and its contract value was extremely high.

Lu Xi fell into thought. So that was it. This was the key to contracting 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 as an ordinary person was not yet a crucial node in the worldline.

At the same time, this indirectly put an end to his thoughts of exploiting a loophole.

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 in Wanda's eyes as she hurriedly asked,

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

Lu Xi gently shook his head, his expression solemn.

"If you had awakened on your own, that would naturally be a good thing. But that isn't what happened. Your powers were 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 done nothing.

While Lu Xi had been fiercely fighting Mephisto, Chthon had used the spatial rift to secretly make a few moves on Earth.

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

"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 to 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. He would probably struggle even against Captain America.

When Daisy saw Mephisto's appearance, she could not help showing a look of disgust.

"Ew, what is that thing? It's so ugly."

At the moment, Mephisto was in the demonic form of his true body, covered in red skin.

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

One had to know that even transforming into human form required magical power.

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

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

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

Daisy refused to back down and glared right back at him.

"What? You are ugly. Are people not allowed to say it?"

Mephisto looked more closely and discovered that Daisy was radiating Lucifer's aura from head to toe.

She was obviously the boss's woman. Feeling somewhat aggrieved, he could only swallow his anger.

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

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

Mephisto quickly suppressed his anger. After carefully observing Wanda, his eyes suddenly lit up.

It was as though he had discovered something extraordinary.

"What a great idea! How did I not think of that?"

Lu Xi looked confused.

"What are you talking about?"

Mephisto hurriedly explained,

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

He paused, then explained further.

"Simply put, if this lady's magic reaches Skyfather-level, then Chthon will be able to descend with Skyfather-level power."

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

The moment Wanda heard that, she panicked, her eyes filled with terror.

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

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

Wanda bowed and scraped before Chthon, saying,

"Sir, this way, please!"

"Pfft, hahaha!" Thinking of that, he could not hold back his laughter.

But when he saw that Wanda was about to cry, he quickly restrained his smile and comforted her.

"It's fine. Don't panic. If I sensed it correctly, there is also a minimum requirement for activating your human-shaped coordinate."

"For Chthon to descend, you'll need to grow to at least Skyfather-level."

Lu Xi looked at Wanda and said seriously,

"You have an extremely high affinity for Chaos Magic. This is the power best suited to you."

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

After all, by the time Wanda grew to Skyfather-level, Lu Xi would have made tremendous progress at the Universal-level at the very least.

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 nearby, repeatedly echoed his words, hurriedly flattering his new boss.

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

"This Chaos Magic is basically free power. There's no reason not to take it."

"If you really find it bothersome, 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 your hands on Chaos Magic? Keep dreaming. Get lost!"

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

Seeing this, Wanda finally relaxed. A trace of determination flashed in her eyes.

"All right, Lord Lucifer. I believe you."
