"What three steps?"
Richard's statement was incredible, but Kaecilius believed he wouldn't speak carelessly.
Richard held up the Magic Sphere and said earnestly.
"The first step is to find an excellent location and set up a trap array in advance."
"The second step is to use this wisp of the Blackheart's soul to lure his true form to Earth!"
"The third step is to capture the true form of the Blackheart, who is trapped in the trap array with nowhere to escape."
Kaecilius:...
People are truly speechless when they're speechless...
He sighed, rubbing his forehead.
"Well..."
Seeing this, Richard quickly patted his chest and said...
"Senior brother, you have to trust me. I guarantee this method will succeed!"
"So, what happens after you succeed?" Kaecilius looked up and asked irritably.
"After we succeed, we'll challenge Mephisto to a duel!" Richard said matter-of-factly.
" Mephisto won't fall for it!" Kaecilius shook his head.
He knew very well that he was no match for the Sorcerer Supreme.
"That's why I've never dared to let my true form appear on Earth!"
"We don't need him on Earth!" Richard looked at Kaecilius with a puzzled expression.
"It's just issuing a challenge, not actually starting a war..."
"..." Kaecilius looked at Richard with a deep gaze, and couldn't help but retort, "So what happened after the challenge was issued?"
"What should we do next?"
"Using his own son as leverage!" Richard said matter-of-factly.
"Compared to your wife and children, Senior Brother, Mephisto's new son seems more important..."
"Then why did we issue a challenge?" Kaecilius asked, his face dark. "Why not just make a deal with the Blackheart directly?!"
"I'll trade this fragment of his soul for my wife and son!"
"Impossible, Senior Brother..." Richard shook his head and said, "As far as I know, although Blackheart is the son of the Hell Lord, his authority in Hell is actually very limited."
Mephisto was always wary of his ambitious but foolish son...
"And there's also a rumor..."
Richard looked around warily, then waved his hand to set up a Silence Array.
Then he whispered, " The Blackheart is very likely a demonic version of Tang Seng's Flesh that Mephisto deliberately cultivated!"
"Demonized Tang Seng's Flesh?" Kaecilius looked puzzled, "What do you mean?"
"Oh dear, it's just that once the Blackheart matures, Mephisto will devour him to increase his own power!"
"Eat him?! Eat him?!!" Kaecilius exclaimed. "That's impossible!"
"How is that impossible?!" Richard shrugged. "You can't judge a demon from Hell by human moral standards..."
"The law of survival in Hell has always been the survival of the fittest; they never care about kinship, friendship, or love..."
"This..." Kaecilius was speechless.
"But like you said..."
" Hell Demon have no sense of kinship, so how could Mephisto be blackmailed by us..."
"You forgot what I just said..." Richard reminded him, " The Blackheart is a demonic form of Tang Seng's Flesh that Mephisto deliberately cultivated!"
"You don't think raising someone with the potential to become a top-tier demon like the Blackheart is an easy task, do you...?"
"Alright..." Kaecilius was convinced, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
It seems my long-cherished wish is about to come true...
Richard suddenly snapped out of his reverie, scratched his head awkwardly, and weakly said, "Senior brother..."
"It seems we were discussing Dormammu..."
"How about we put the matter of the Blackheart on hold for now?"
Kaecilius's joy froze...
" Richard..."
"Please resolve the Dormammu matter as soon as possible..."
Please!
Richard nodded quickly. "No problem! I guarantee I can resolve it within three days!"
"Thank you!" Kaecilius whispered his thanks.
Richard looked at Kaecilius and said earnestly, "Senior Brother Kaecilius, I will help you..."
"The Sorcerer of Kamar-Taj, and even the Ancient One, Sorcerer Supreme help you!"
Let's get back to the main topic.
"What do you plan to do?" Kaecilius asked.
A smug smile spread across Richard's face.
" The Ancient One Sorcerer Supreme found a very hidden Spatial Rift in a ravine in the middle of Mount Everest..."
"That Spatial Rift connects to an abandoned Dimensional Space..."
" The Ancient One Sorcerer Supreme said that Dormammu deliberately left this behind to fish..."
Kaecilius nodded numbly.
What? A Spatial Rift has been found on Mount Everest?
What?! The Spatial Rift connects to an abandoned Dimensional Space?!
What?! Dormammu was behind this?!
Wow, that's amazing!
Kaecilius, still reeling from the shock, asked somewhat numbly, "So what do we do?"
Richard snapped his the Snap and said.
"It's very simple..."
"It will still be done in three steps..."
"The first step is to use that abandoned Dimensional Space to set up a trap array!"
"Pay special attention: once this magic circle is activated, it must be completely sealed off!"
"Since Dormammu has never dared to invade Earth in his true form, what's coming must be his Clone!"
"Our trap array must be able to withstand at least the full force of Dormammu Clone's attack!"
Kaecilius frowned, deep in thought as he considered which traps and spell arrays would fit Richard's requirements.
Seeing this, Richard quickly reminded him, "Uh, senior brother, regarding the trap formation, we can ask the Ancient One Sorcerer Supreme help..."
Kaecilius's lips twitched, and he nodded silently.
Richard secretly wiped the sweat from his brow and continued.
"The second step is to lure out Dormammu's Clone!"
"This will require your help, senior brother!"
Kaecilius readily agreed, "What do you need me to do?"
"Let's try a straight hook!" Richard said, picking up the Book of Cagliostro from the table.
"This Book of Cagliostro contains a Magic ritual for summoning the Dark Force Dormammu..."
"Senior brother, you happen to have a trace of Dormammu's Dark Force within you..."
"This Dark Force is the lure Dormammu used to corrupt you."
"As long as you personally perform this Magic ritual, Dormammu will definitely recognize your identity through this trace of Dark Force..."
"Senior brother, you are the most prized disciple Sorcerer Supreme the Ancient One..."
"No!" Kaecilius shook his head and said, " Richard is now the Sorcerer Supreme's most prized disciple."
Richard scratched his face, gave an awkward laugh, and said, "Senior brother, you flatter me..."
Kaecilius chuckled, "My talent and abilities already place me among the top Sorcerer in Kamar-Taj!"
"But I still lack the confidence to take on the position of Sorcerer Supreme..."
"Last time you said that the Sorcerer Supreme couldn't find a successor and could only draw power from the Dark Dimension to prolong his lifespan..."
"I'm very happy now..."
You are stronger than me...
"Your talent and ability are more than sufficient to shoulder the responsibilities entrusted to Sorcerer Supreme!"
Richard scratched his face. "Now that things have come to this, shouldn't I give my opinion?"
