Not long after, the black energy membrane covering the painting suddenly began to tremble violently.
Then, a crimson ball of light burst forth from the world connected by the painting.
'Click!'
The black energy film cracked and dissipated.
The next second, the painting on the wall also split in two.
The crimson ball of light transformed into Richard's Magic Clone upon landing.
"Only one Clone was found."
As the Magic Clone spoke, it pulled out a hideous Heretic God Statue from its robes.
Richard took the Heretic God Statue and said with a smile, "It's alright, I already guessed it."
The Magic Clone nodded, then transformed into a Crimson Mana and returned to Richard's body.
Richard, on the other hand, began to examine the Heretic God Statue.
"Huh? I thought it was some old friend showing up uninvited..."
"I never expected it to be a Dimensional Deity I've never seen before!"
Heretic God Statue:...
The Lord of Evil Spirits, trapped Clone the Heretic God Statue, 'looked' resentfully at the Crimson Energy Chain wrapped around the Heretic God Statue, feeling utterly frustrated.
He was lying peacefully in the Painted World when suddenly a jerk barged in.
This bastard has no martial ethics whatsoever. He doesn't say a word of courtesy and launches an incredibly fierce attack the moment they meet. He was only a fraction of a second too slow, and the Heretic God Statue he was possessed was wrapped up like a dumpling by countless Crimson Energy Chain.
When he gathered his Divine Power to counterattack, he discovered that the Crimson Energy Chain were incredibly bizarre!
It seals not only the body, but also the soul!
This resulted in his Clone, the Lord of Evil Spirits, being able to only gather limited Divine Power to protect his True Spirit, and being unable to spare even a trace of Divine Power to break through the Crimson Energy Chain locked on the Heretic God Statue.
At that moment, Richard tapped the Heretic God Statue on the forehead with his finger.
'Bang bang bang!'
"Are you still awake? If you are, say something."
Heretic God Statue:...
The next second, a dense black energy suddenly shot out and slammed into the Crimson Energy Chain.
'Clang!'
After a clang of metal on metal, the black energy returned empty-handed.
Richard chuckled and said, "Stop struggling. If you want to break free of these Crimson Chain, your Main Body will have to come here in person."
The Heretic God Statue remained silent for a moment.
A streak of black light swirled across the surface of the Heretic God Statue, while a majestic voice, indistinguishable between male and female, resounded.
"Let me leave, and I promise I will never set foot on this Living Planet again."
"Let you leave?" Richard sneered. "What makes you think you have such a big face?"
"How dare you!" the Lord of Evil Spirits Clone. "You lowly ant, how dare you belittle Deity!"
"Heh~" Richard chuckled, and a red light suddenly shot out from his right index finger.
The black light flowing across the Heretic God Statue was instantly severed by the red light.
"Ah!!!"
A scream suddenly rang out, and the Clone of the Lord of Evil Spirits cried out in disbelief, "This divine Divine Power..."
"You... you're also a dimensional Dimensional Deity?!"
Richard snapped his fingers, "You've figured it out yet?"
"I am the Lord of the Crimson Dimension! This Living Planet is under my protection!"
"How dare you trespass on my territory! What, do you want to start a war with me?!"
"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!" the Clone of the Lord of Evil Spirits hurriedly shouted, "I didn't know beforehand that this Living Planet belonged to you!"
"A misunderstanding?" Richard slowly released the imposing aura of Lord of Dimension, coldly saying, "You think a simple misunderstanding is all that's going to happen?"
"This..." The Lord of Evil Spirits Clone hesitated.
"Hmm?!" Richard flicked his finger, shooting out another beam of red light.
'Click!'
This crimson beam was nearly ten times more powerful than the previous one, directly slicing a thumb-length crack into the Heretic God Statue.
"Ah!!!"
The Clone of the Lord of Evil Spirits let out another scream.
He immediately shouted, "I'll pay compensation! I'll pay compensation!"
"Hmph, that's more like it." Richard said, slowly withdrawing his next attack that he had been preparing.
"Tell me, how do you want compensation?"
"This..." The Clone of the Lord of Evil Spirits hesitated for a moment, then said, "My Realm of Evil Spirits Kingdom is small and weak, and has never been very wealthy..."
He first played the victim, then revealed his bargaining chip.
"One Star Core, ten pure souls, what do you think?"
"Hmph~" Richard scoffed again, saying disdainfully, "One Star Core? I command countless Living Planet. You're offering a mere Star Core as compensation? Are you trying to insult me?!"
"Ten more pure souls? My Crimson Dimension has countless followers, would I care about your mere ten pure souls?!"
"Your Excellency..." The Clone of the Lord of Evil Spirits tried to continue playing the victim.
Richard waved him off, saying, "I'll give you one more chance to bid. If you dare to try anything again, then this Clone of yours... will stay here!"
After saying that, he flicked his right index finger.
'clank!'
A sharp red light rang out at his fingertips.
The Clone of the Lord of Evil Spirits instantly felt Dawson aura directed at him, and cried out in fright, "Please hold back, sir! I'll pay double! I'll compensate you double!"
Richard remained silent, simply pointing the red light at the Heretic God Statue.
'Sizzle!'
A red light suddenly extended from the fingertip, instantly piercing through the right arm of the Heretic God Statue.
'Click!'
With a sweep of crimson light, the right arm was cleanly severed.
"Ah!!!"
The Clone of the Lord of Evil Spirits screamed repeatedly, and hurriedly roared, "Five times! I'll pay five times the amount!"
'Click!'
The crimson light swept across again, severing the second right arm of the Heretic God Statue.
"No!!!"
The Clone of the Lord of Evil Spirits screamed, "I'll pay you tenfold... no, twentyfold!"
'Click!'
The third right arm of the Heretic God Statue is broken.
"Ah!!!" the Clone of the Lord of Evil Spirits roared almost madly, "A hundredfold! I'll compensate you a hundredfold! Stop cutting!!!"
'Click!'
A flash of red light, and the fourth right arm flew out.
"..." Richard withdrew the red light from his fingertips.
Looking at the bare right half of the Heretic God Statue, he raised his hand to touch his nose, and said sternly, "You speak too slowly. Go back and practice your speaking speed."
The Clone of the Lord of Evil Spirits: "..."
At this moment, wisps of black mist suddenly began to emanate from the severed arm of the evil spirit statue.
"Hmm?" Richard's mind stirred, Crimson Chain glowed slightly, silently absorbing all the black mist.
Having lost four arms, the Lord of Evil Spirits's Clone seemed to be in a weakened state.
He said weakly, "I... I'll pay one hundred Star Core and three hundred pure souls, and then you'll let me leave safely."
"Deal!" Richard agreed immediately.
As soon as he finished speaking, a dense mass of black energy suddenly surged from the Heretic God Statue and rushed outwards.
"Clang!"
The Crimson Energy Chain swung, directly deflecting it.
The black energy, terrified, hastily retreated into the Heretic God Statue. Then, the Clone of the Lord of Evil Spirits demanded sharply, "Does Your Excellency wish to renege?!"
"You can leave if you want..." Richard said coldly, arms crossed, "Have your Main Body deliver the compensation first, then I will naturally unlock the Crimson Chain."
"You..." The Lord of Evil Spirits was Clone with shock and anger, "You don't believe me?"
"Heh~" Richard sneered, "The credibility of the Dimensional Deity?"
"In this Multiverse, who doesn't know that the reputation of Dimensional Deity is like the stench of excrement in a toilet!"
"Pick up the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other!"
"If you want to leave safely, you'd better notify your Main Body as soon as possible and send the compensation."
"Fine..." The Lord of Evil Spirits Clone filled with resentment, but he was at Richard's mercy and could only do as Richard said, "I will inform the Main Body immediately. I hope you will keep your word!"
"I, Lord of Crimson, never break my word!" Richard replied, patting his chest.
He glanced at the black patterns appearing on the Crimson Energy Chain, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
The Lord of Evil Spirits's Clone, having endured this series of torments, was already consumed by rage.
[Damn Lord of Crimson! Once my Main Body arrives, I'll make you pay the ultimate price!!!]
At that moment, Richard suddenly raised his hand and made a grasping motion, quickly condensing a Sealing Spirit Orb.
Upon noticing Clone, the avatar of the God of Mischief immediately became vigilant.
He hurriedly questioned, "What do you intend to do...?"
But before he could finish his question, the Heretic God Statue suddenly rose into the air and disappeared directly into the Sealing Spirit Orb.
Richard caught the Sealing Spirit Orb and casually tossed it into his Storage Ring.
Then, he flashed and appeared above the desert oasis.
The once turbulent Oasis Lake has now returned to calm.
However, much of the trees and vegetation within the oasis had been destroyed by the previous large waves.
Richard looked down at the small world below, lost in thought, and said, "This Valley Small World might come in handy someday..."
After saying that, he formed a hand seal and sealed the entrance to the small world.
Even if any remnants of the original Sutherland Family, the owners of the small world, still survive, they will never be able to find the entrance to the small world again.
After doing all this, Richard teleported back to Kamar-Taj.
Before long, Mordo and Kaecilius arrived together.
Mordo bowed and said, " Your Sorcerer Supreme, this cleanup operation is now complete."
"Oh?" Richard asked casually, "How many Little Rat did you catch?"
Mordo and Kaecilius exchanged a glance.
Mordo, looking ashamed, said, " Master Kaecilius, you should report now."
Kaecilius nodded and reported to Richard, " Your Sorcerer Supreme, besides Fred and his spies sent by the Sutherland Bloodline Wizard family, this cleanup operation yielded some unexpected gains..."
"Hmm?" Richard was now curious. "What unexpected gain?"
Kaecilius continued his report, "With the sudden arrest of Fred and the others, it unexpectedly caused unease among the spies planted in Kamar-Taj by other factions. Their hasty actions exposed many clues. Following the leads, Sorcerer Mordo and I uncovered even more hidden ' The Rat '."
At this moment, Mordo suddenly knelt on one knee and said with great shame, " Your Sorcerer Supreme, Mordo has been negligent in his management, resulting in such a number of spies infiltrating the Holy Land. I beg Your Sorcerer Supreme to punish me!"
Richard raised his hand slightly and forcibly lifted Mordo up.
He smiled and comforted him, " Senior Brother Mordo, there's no need to blame yourself too much. Just clean it up this time and be more careful next time."
Mordo, his eyes red with emotion, said, "Yes, Your Sorcerer Supreme. I guarantee that all personnel entering and leaving Kamar-Taj will henceforth be subject to strict control!"
Hearing this, Richard nodded to himself in satisfaction.
That's more like it! As long as you keep working hard every day, Senior Brother Mordo, I can finally relax and relax!
After calming Mordo, Richard waved for the two to leave.
Just as he was about to take out the tea table and imitate the Ancient One's tea tasting, the White Queen's holographic projection suddenly appeared on his wristwatch.
" Richard, Richard, someone's looking for you!"
Richard raised an eyebrow and asked, "Who's looking for me?"
The White Queen said, "He claims to be God of Mischief Loki of Asgard!"
"Huh?!" Richard was somewhat surprised.
He thought to himself, "Didn't Loki Hela say that he was killed by the Dark Elves while trying to save Queen Frigga?!"
Are you sure it's Loki himself?
White Queen shook her head. "I'm not sure. He contacted me via email, but my sister and I worked together to counter-track him, yet we couldn't find his whereabouts."
"Is that so..." Richard hesitated for a moment, then said, "Then reply to him that I agree to meet."
As soon as he finished speaking, Loki's voice echoed through the hall.
"I wouldn't dare trouble Your Majesty the White Queen..."
Loki then appeared directly in front of Richard.
He bowed and said, " Loki has come uninvited; please forgive him, Your Sorcerer Supreme."
Richard raised an eyebrow in surprise; he couldn't quite see through Loki's sudden appearance!
"Your Highness Prince Loki, impressive skill."
Loki straightened up and smiled modestly, "Not at all, not at all. These little tricks are far inferior to Your Sorcerer Supreme's."
Richard looked Loki up and down, his gaze lingering on Loki's chest.
" Time Variance Authority?"
Loki looked surprised. Following Richard's gaze, he looked down at the TVA logo embroidered on his chest and suddenly laughed, " The Sorcerer Supreme is indeed impressive, even knowing about such a little-known hidden force."
Richard shrugged and gestured for a long tea table.
Two steaming teacups sit on the tea table, with a Prayer Mat placed on either side.
Richard took his seat first, then gestured with his hand, saying, "You've come from afar, please sit down and have some tea."
Loki bowed first, then walked to the Prayer Mat and sat down.
Seeing this, the White Queen projection pursed her lips and said, "This is none of my business, so I'll be leaving now~"
After saying that, he simply disappeared.
Loki picked up the teacup, took a light sniff of the rim, and his eyes lit up immediately.
The next second, he tilted his head back and downed the steaming cup of tea in one gulp, as if it were a drink.
After finishing the tea, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Excellent tea!"
Richard smiled smugly, "The tea is named ' Mist and Rain,' which has a slight effect of cleansing the soul."
'Whoosh!'
Loki stared intently at Richard with piercing eyes.
Upon seeing this, Richard's smile vanished instantly.
"Just this one, don't even think about it!"
Feeling the wonderful sensation of his soul becoming lighter, Loki was not about to let this opportunity to fleece him slip by.
With a fawning smile, he said, "From Sister Hela's perspective, I should call Your Sorcerer Supreme brother-in-law..."
"My younger brother has come to see his brother-in-law. Sorcerer Supreme brother-in-law, you can't be too stingy, can you?!"
Richard:...
Loki pressed his advantage, adding fuel to the fire, "Brother -Sorcerer Supreme One, you wouldn't want others to mistake you for a stingy and miserly person, would you?"
"If Sister Hela finds out, I'm afraid you'll..."
"Alright, alright!" Richard quickly interrupted him, somewhat reluctantly pushing his untouched ' Mist and Rain ' over.
"I'm warning you! This is the only one, there won't be a third one!"
Loki picked up his teacup and drank it down in one gulp.
Ah~~!
After finishing the drink, he couldn't help but groan, revealing an expression of utter bliss.
A moment later, the soul-cleansing effect of the ' Mist and Rain ' faded, and Loki slowly opened his eyes.
In an instant, a red light flashed deep within his eyes.
Richard instantly noticed this unusual detail.
Huh? It's the Reality Stone?!
Good heavens! Jane Foster, the Mighty Thor, is probably finished!
