Thor's Frustration! Subduing Mephistopheles!
Soul for soul.
These are the rules for obtaining Soul Stone.
This rule, however, was not revealed by the Soul Stone.
Rather, it was Red Skull who dictated it.
In other words, what the real rules are, and whether such rules even exist, depends entirely on the Soul Stone!
The Soul Stone possesses basic consciousness.
Certainly.
It is certainly not comparable to the Ego Stone.
The Ego Stone represents Nemesis, the Goddess of Vengeance.
This is the difference between the soul and artificial intelligence.
Therefore, based on the above, we can deduce that while soul-for-soul exchange is real, it does not necessarily require the sacrifice of a beloved.
Secondly, the Soul Stone has requirements regarding the soul.
"So..."
"What the Soul Stone needs is a powerful soul?"
Chen Ji's eyes showed deep thought.
It seems that animal souls are meaningless.
A powerful soul.
That in itself is a form of value.
It possesses scarcity.
However, he did have an idea that could both resolve his hidden danger and gain the Soul Stone's approval, allowing him to successfully obtain the gem!
"Offer a sacrifice to Cangjie!"
Chen Ji's heart skipped a beat.
A playful expression immediately appeared on his face.
But in Thor's eyes, it sent chills down his spine.
Whom is this God of Knowledge plotting against?
Even though the Illuminati successfully killed the god, he immediately realized in his post-mortem analysis that Chen Ji was the main force!
The other teammates are just support players.
Chen Ji's ability to kill Celestials can be described as a miracle.
Conventional power cannot harm Celestials; only the Cancerous Force can destroy Celestials!
Furthermore...
Chen Ji can kill the Celestials, then he can certainly kill the Skyfather...
He will kill Earth Gods!
Even without Odin's instructions, Thor understood that he had to maintain a good relationship with Chen Ji and avoid offending him if possible.
After all, the very existence of Asgard rested on his decision.
The growing Kamar-Taj put increasing pressure on Thor, causing him unspeakable distress.
Ultimately...
Kamar-Taj and Asgard have a relationship that is both cooperative and competitive.
Kamar-Taj's power will weaken Asgard's influence, and the Nine Realms may eventually be ruled by Kamar-Taj!
"Pity!"
"Asgard's population is finite."
Thor, the God of Thor, looked regretful.
He's not lacking in intelligence, he's just too lazy to use his brain.
During his time living in the Midgard, he gradually learned about the workings of things under the influence of Chen Ji and Tony Stark.
The development of any power is inseparable from population!
Asgard.
There are very few outsiders; the Asgardians are the dominant ethnic group, numbering only around 50,000.
This is already at its limit!
However.
Kamar-Taj, however, has no entry barriers; it represents a power structure rather than a nation.
There is a fundamental difference between a state and a power system.
But...
According to Thor's speculation, Chen Ji's next plan is probably to push the existence of Kamar-Taj to its highest point ever.
To become an advanced civilization!
Actively intervening in the workings of the world, almost like a religious practice, places it above the world's great powers.
This is not impossible!
If Chen Ji knew his true feelings.
Then, a look of surprise would appear on his face. The God of Hammers, Powerful Limbs and no brains, had actually guessed his plan?
"When I obtained the Aether..."
"The existence of Kamar-Taj can be made public and officially presented to the world; there is never any need to keep it low-key."
"Perhaps, in the distant future, history textbooks will refer to this era as..."
"The Sacred Blood Era?"
Chen Ji curled the corners of his mouth.
His mind raced, and his intuition shone through.
They are not only considering the future of Kamar-Taj.
Furthermore, he was also sensing the location of the Aether!
He must get his hands on the Aether.
We cannot allow this to fall into the hands of any power!
As for how history books will actually depict this era, that's for future generations to write.
Chen Ji's expression was subtle.
Immediately, he slipped into the abandoned factory.
"List!"
Where are you going?
Thor hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly followed.
He immediately realized that this space seemed to connect to another secret realm, filled with chaotic spatial forces.
In an instant.
Chen Ji's figure disappeared before his eyes, as if entering an invisible portal, Thor hurriedly followed.
Then, my vision spun around me.
The two then appeared one after the other in a small, Earth Secret Realm.
This secret realm resembles a cave.
Pitch black.
Dark.
However, there was a towering stone pillar covered with Rune, as if suppressing some substance, with a blood-red fluid flowing through the cracks.
And in front of the stone pillar, Jane Foster's figure was getting closer and closer.
My fingertips were almost touching the red fluid!
"Simple!"
Thor, the Hammer God Thor, exclaimed in alarm.
Upon hearing this statement...
Jane Foster also stopped what she was doing, a hint of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes as she looked at Chen Ji and Thor, and stood there stunned.
"Thor?"
"And... the Acting Sorcerer Supreme?"
How did you end up in this place?
Jane Foster looked puzzled.
She remembered what Chen Ji looked like!
In New Mexico, the two parted ways hastily, but his handsome and refined appearance remained unforgettable.
Heimdall noticed your disappearance.
I'm afraid you'll be in danger.
"Simple."
"Slowly back away, don't get close to that thing."
"If I'm not mistaken..."
"This might be the Aether recorded in history!"
Thor, the God of Thor, was moved by it.
Aether.
This is the oldest thing born from the Big Bang.
Unlike other artifacts, Aether is a fluid that was seized by the Dark Elves.
During the last Celestial Convergence, the Dark Elves created the Cursed Stone using Aether and waged war against Asgard.
The king of the gods at that time was his grandfather, King Bor!
King Bor destroyed the Dark Elves and sealed the Aether in a mysterious place.
Turn out to be...
It was sealed in this place?
Thor's eyes trembled.
He was well aware of the power of the Aether.
This can turn fantasy into reality.
It can even turn reality into fantasy!
However, he did not connect the Aether with the Infinity Stones.
Since the Infinity Stones are all in the form of gems, how could they be fluid?
"Good."
Jane Foster slowly retreated, moving directly away from the Aether.
But Chen Ji's expression suddenly changed!
He actually sensed the presence of another figure!
It was right in front of the Aether!
The figure was old, with meticulously groomed white hair, and dressed in an expensive suit, resembling an elderly gentleman.
His face held a hint of aloofness.
As one of Mephisto's incarnations.
He naturally knew the location of the Aether and was even more aware of the power that Aether possessed!
"I almost thought I was going to miss out on Aether."
Thank you so much.
"Little girl."
Mephistopheles grinned wickedly.
Then, he raised his hand and touched the Aether.
The next second!
As if finding a host, the Aether released all matter, like a crimson rainbow, rushing towards Mephistopheles!
With the addition of the Aether, Mephistopheles' aura surged to unprecedented heights!
After all, the Aether is the Reality Stone!
He possessed almost Infinity energy!
And he finally broke free from Mephisto's control and became an independent individual!
"Is this the Infinite Power?"
"No wonder."
"You can win the Battle of Sokovia."
Mephistopheles' eyes were jet black.
His face was as ferocious as a demon's.
He was surrounded by a cold aura, Aether floated around him like ribbons, swirling with a dazzling, intense light.
With the Aether, he could overturn the order of the real world, turning reality into Void and making it operate according to his will!
He had been waiting for this for a long time and had been guarding this spot ever since!
He knew the power of the Aether. Even if Chen Ji possessed Infinite Power, he was still a Dimension Lord, so don't even think about harming him!
"I will go to Kamar-Taj."
"Steal the Chaos Magic"
"As long as I am enveloped in chaos and Aether, I will be invincible."
"I will surely replace Mephisto and become the ruler of the Hell Dimension!"
"To become... Satan!"
Mephistopheles made a series of bold statements.
He is confident he can seize Satan's Throne!
Satan's Throne.
Above the multiverse, within an Infinite Embassy, lies everything of the Multiverse.
It has both history and stories.
Only Satan is the Multiversal One-and-Only God, and only he is qualified to command all demon kings and Demon Lord.
The Multiverse is about to undergo a transformation; the Celestial Convergence and the Seven Realms War are merely the prelude.
Like Mephisto, he had enormous ambitions and was naturally unwilling to be subordinate to anyone!
"List!"
"What should we do?!"
"He stole the Aether!"
Thor's eyes gleamed with a sharp light.
He gripped Thor's Hammer tightly, his body crackling with intense lightning, and immediately shielded Jane Foster behind him.
But as the future Lord of the Nine Realms, he must deal with this demonic incarnation!
"It doesn't matter."
"Fortunately..."
"We are inside a secret realm."
Chen Ji smiled.
His expression remained unchanged throughout.
His ability to Carnage a Celestials already proves his strength!
However, when he was on Earth, he had to suppress his power to prevent his every move from destroying this life-bearing planet.
The power to destroy stars is no joke.
Once he unleashes his full power, even the Earth will be Oblivion!
But there's no need to hold back within the Earth Secret Realm.
Buzz!
Chen Ji's eyes widened slightly, gleaming with four colors of light.
The Infinite Beam transformed into a blazing rainbow!
It instantly traced a straight trajectory and crashed into Mephistopheles in front of it.
A deafening explosion rang out!
Mephistopheles' pupils constricted sharply.
I felt like I'd been struck by lightning!
Even though he hastily mobilized ether Aether create a shield and deflect most of the attack, he was still in great pain.
A look of fear immediately flashed in his eyes!
"Infinite Beam?!"
"You actually mastered the four Infinite Law?"
"Time, space, Mind Stone, power..."
"How is that possible!"
"You can actually comprehend the laws?!"
Mephistopheles' face was contorted in disbelief, his expression contorted with extreme rage.
The Infinite Law.
This is the ultimate power in Single Universe.
Ordinary people can only manipulate the power of the Infinite Law through the Infinity Stones.
However.
Chen Ji broke this rule!
He became the embodiment of the law!
It is also the embodiment of the four Infinite Law!
As long as the four concepts of the universe, time, space, Mind Stone, and power do not disappear, he will never die!
Even...
He also sensed something unusual about it.
It seems to come from... the Eye Demon!
Chen Ji actually visited the Cancerous Universe? And even stole the Cancerous Force from the Eye Demon?
This!
When exactly did this happen?
And he didn't hear a single word!
Were Kaecilius and Mordo raised on excrement?
"Trying to run?"
"Feel sorry."
"You no longer have that chance."
Chen Ji smiled coldly.
Then, he directly expanded the Painted Realm Universe!
This secret realm has been forcibly overwritten!
Even...
The Painted Realm Universe is actively encroaching on this secret realm, seemingly trying to integrate the Earth Secret Realm into the Painted Realm and expand its scale.
This situation made Chen Ji's eyes gleam with shrewdness.
It seems that not only can Reflect All Heavens strengthen the Painted Realm, but devouring other secret realms can also do so?
Then why not integrate all of Earth's hidden realms into the Painted Realm Universe!
Chen Ji's heart stirred with ambition.
Within the Painted Realm Universe, he is Creator- level being, virtually Omnipotence.
Even the Aether couldn't break the Painted Realm and allow Mephistopheles to escape!
Seeing this scene.
Mephistopheles turned ashen-faced.
A flicker of despair flashed in his eyes!
He had heard of the Painted Realm, but had never experienced its Painted Realm Dimension, and was initially filled with disdain.
Now, seeing the Painted Realm reappear, he couldn't hold back any longer.
This isn't just a single dimension; it's practically a Single Universe!
If I'm not mistaken, the pitch-black depths above the dome are the Cancerous Universe!
And the magical space beneath the earth is... the Nightmare Dimension!
The Painted Realm can actually 'copy' other dimensions?
The Earth Secret Realm?
This was completely beyond his comprehension!
This fueled his fear and sense of collapse!
Furthermore, the aura emanating from Chen Ji at this moment was far beyond what a Dimension Lord or Omnipotent Skyfather could compare to...
"You're Provisional Celestial?!"
"How did you become Celestials?"
Mephistopheles was utterly shocked.
My whole body was trembling violently.
He was almost losing control; he nearly peed his pants in fear!
"Mephistopheles."
"You now have one more option."
"Hand over the Aether obediently."
"I can spare your life."
Chen Ji's eyes flickered.
He needs Mephistopheles to force him to reveal Mephisto's situation.
This infamous Demon Lord is also the strongest lord, bar none!
Who knows what big news he'll cause?
Moreover, his Cancerous Universe lacks a Dimension Lord; he can reflect three dimensions, so he always needs tools.
"I am willing to hand over the Aether..."
I hope you will keep your promise.
Mephistopheles smiled wryly.
Then, he raised his right hand and separated the Aether from his body, turning them into a red fluid that floated in his palm.
"Certainly."
"You won't believe me, just look."
"The Nightmare are still alive."
Chen Ji's eyes flickered.
Immediately, the Nightmare manifested itself.
Nightmare was nearly exhausted, barely managing to regain his strength, but he was emaciated, resembling a dried-up corpse.
The Nightmare's eyes lit up the moment it saw Mephistopheles.
"Mephisto's incarnation?"
"Good!"
"It seems Mephisto will soon be keeping me company!"
Nightmare grinned maliciously.
The pain he endured should not be borne by him alone.
He can't afford to offend Chen Ji, but he can afford to offend the Hell Devil King?
Moreover, Chen Ji's ability to escape the Dream of the Celestials means that Chen Ji successfully Carnage the Thinker Celestial!
If he latches onto this powerful figure, maybe he can even become a Magical Entity himself!
