Richard looked at Ancient One with amusement. "It's just a pot of your hot tea, why are you so upset?"
"You... sigh!" Ancient One put down the teapot with a pained expression, picked up her beloved folding fan, opened it with a 'whoosh', and slowly began to fan herself.
"These Star Mirage are something I brought back from an alternate dimension where liquid starlight is the source of life..."
She rolled her eyes at Richard, annoyed. "Do you know how hard it was for me to obtain this tea?! I searched the entire alternate dimension before finding just two Stellar Mother Tree..."
"This Stellar Mother Tree only exists in areas with the highest concentration of liquid starlight, and its growth is extremely slow, allowing it to be harvested only once every hundred years!"
"Uh..." Richard shrank back involuntarily upon hearing this.
"That pot you just drank was one-tenth of my collection!" Ancient One said, her heart clenching with heartache.
So she fanned herself faster and faster, clearly her liver fire was flaring up again.
Seeing this, Richard quietly stood up. "Well... teacher, I need to go deal with the matter in the Desert White Mist area first, we can talk later~"
After saying that, he tore open the Spatial Barrier and slipped inside.
Ancient One: "You..."
As she watched the Spatial Rift rapidly close, she felt a lump in her throat.
At that moment, Mordo's voice came from outside the main hall.
" Sorcerer Supreme, Mordo request an audience."
Ancient One exhaled a breath of hot air from her nostrils and called out with a hint of impatience, "Come in."
Mordo hurried over and bowed respectfully to Ancient One: " Your Sorcerer Supreme, a High-tier Demon has arrived outside the Magic Defense Formation. He says he was sent by the Lord of Hell to negotiate."
" Mephisto?" Ancient One's eyes flashed, thinking to himself, Mephisto has arrived just in time!
She suddenly closed her folding fan and quickly stood up. "I'll go take a look."
After saying that, the Ancient One raised her hand and drew a circle, opening a Portal to Earth's Magic Defense Formation.
" Your Sorcerer Supreme, wait..." Mordo hurriedly reached out and called out.
But the Ancient One had already disappeared into the Portal.
Mordo scratched his head, puzzled.
Why does Your Sorcerer Supreme seem... a little impatient today?!
However, since the Ancient One Sorcerer Supreme already taken care of the matter, there's no need for him to worry about it anymore.
Mordo turned and left, preparing to conduct a surprise inspection of that troublesome new apprentice, Stephen Strange.
Outside the Earth's Magic Defense Formation stood a handsome demon with his bat wings folded.
Suddenly, a Portal opened.
A small, bald-headed Sorcerer walked out of the door.
"You were sent by Mephisto?"
The demon's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the newcomer.
He placed his hand on his chest, bowed deeply, and said with utmost respect, "I am Asmodeus, and pay my Sorcerer Supreme the Ancient One."
Ancient One stood with his hands behind his back, observing the demon before him with great interest.
"Ha! I didn't expect that this time it would be a rare High-tier Male Incubus."
The Male Incubus smiled slightly, revealing two rows of perfectly straight and white teeth, resembling those of a human rather than the sharp fangs of Hell Demon.
Ancient One raised an eyebrow and said in surprise, "A half-human, half-demon hybrid?!"
Asmodeus nodded. " Your Sorcerer Supreme has excellent judgment."
Ancient One 'whooshed' open her folding fan and gently fanned herself.
"What Mephisto you to discuss?"
Asmodeus respectfully replied, " My Master wishes to redeem the Prince Blackheart."
" Blackheart?" Ancient One, thinking of Blackheart who had become the generator of Valhalla, waved his hand and said, "Go back and tell Mephisto that Blackheart is not on Earth."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Clearly, he had no interest in this rare Male Incubus.
"This..." Asmodeus quickly concluded that this was the Ancient One's excuse.
So he hurriedly called out, " Your Sorcerer Supreme, please wait! The Master of this negotiation is very sincere!"
However, the Ancient One did not stop, and she had already stepped into the Portal.
At that moment, Asmodeus's azure eyes instantly turned white, Mephisto's voice rang out from his mouth.
"Please wait, Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One!"
Ancient One paused, then turned around.
"How strange, Mephisto. You actually chose a half-human, half-demon as the vessel for your descent."
"And he's a rare Male Incubus..."
Suddenly, as if she remembered something, her gaze towards Asmodeus instantly became very strange.
[According to rumors Multiverse, Male Incubus are rare in the Hell Dimension because the Lord of Hell has bizarre sexual preferences, and most Male Incubus are taken as his concubines...]
Mephisto suddenly felt inexplicably uncomfortable, but in order to redeem the Blackheart as soon as possible, he temporarily chose to ignore the Ancient One's gaze.
" Ancient One, release my son, Hell will no longer participate in this large-scale invasion of Earth."
Ancient One shook his head and said, "I told you, the Blackheart isn't on Earth."
Mephisto frowned, somewhat displeased, and said, " Ancient One, Blackheart disappeared on Earth."
Ancient One narrowed his eyes. "You think I'm lying?"
Mephisto said with a dark face, "Face reality, Ancient One!"
"We both know that Earth is currently under siege by Dimensional Deity..."
"For Earth, it's a golden opportunity for Hell to stand idly by!"
The Ancient One sneered, "Is that so? Then let's try attacking Hell all at once."
Mephisto sensed that the Ancient One was putting on a brave face, so he roared, " Ancient One, don't be stubborn and refuse to listen to reason!"
Ancient One snapped his folding fan shut, his face now frosty. "Hmph, today I'll taste whether your punishment wine Hell Lord is any good!"
She was already furious with Richard, and now that Mephisto had come to her, she felt she had to give him a good beating to vent her anger.
"You...!" Mephisto glared at the Ancient One. "Fine, fine, fine!"
"I will lead the Hell Legion to Kamar-Taj and wait for you to hand over Blackheart!"
After making the threat, he was about to 'leave'.
In an instant, time and space around him froze, Mephisto's consciousness was firmly imprisoned within the body of this Male Incubus.
"Um?!"
Mephisto, bewildered and suspicious, demanded, " Ancient One, what have you done?!"
The Ancient One slowly walked up to him, the smile on her face appearing particularly terrifying.
"I didn't do anything..."
She closed her folding fan, and two tangible golden orbs of Mana coalesced on her fists. "You think you can run away after spouting threats?! What makes you think I'm so good?"
Sensing the dangerous aura emanating from the Ancient One, Mephisto felt a chill run down his spine.
" Ancient One, wait...!"
'Bang! Bang!'
Ancient One clenched his fists and suddenly threw a powerful punch at Mephisto's abdomen.
"Ugh!" The ' Mephisto ' groaned, their eyes bulging as they arched their bodies.
A flicker of excitement crossed the Ancient One's face. She moved closer to Mephisto and unleashed a series of lightning-fast punches into his chest.
'Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!'
Mephisto spat out a mouthful of green demonic blood and flew backward.
"Again!!"
The Ancient One flashed and instantly appeared above his head.
