"This world always brings me unexpected surprises!"
"Who would have thought that out of Mutants, there would be a Li Ge... Xian... This title reminds me of those ancient mysterious existences like Eastern Nation."
"Second Heaven... What a beautifully designed, dark element... who could be darker than the devil?"
"Ancient One, what do you think about me cooperating with him? This world should be able to accommodate the power of demons, right?"
New York, Divine Revelation Temple, Mephisto looked up at the statue. Under the meticulous gray hair, there was an elegant smile like an old gentleman.
He didn't pay attention to the space that suddenly began to twist and turn around him. He softly expressed his feelings and asked for opinions.
Ancient One, wearing a yellow robe, gradually emerged from the rippled space and stood next to Mephisto, looking at him with a calm and indifferent expression.
"Mephisto, this is not the place you should come. If you let me know what you think about his Nine Heavens, I think... I will also have thoughts about your Hell."
Mephisto Hearing this, a flash of scarlet suddenly flashed in his eyes. The old gentleman's face turned into a ferocious skeleton in an instant, and then everything returned to normal in an instant.
"Boom!"
Mephisto The ram-horned skull cane on the handle slammed to the ground. The black mist surged and opened a large fine crack. There was red magma flowing in the crack, and the pungent smell of sulfur filled the air.
"Ancient One, I didn't break the contract. Do you want to break the contract?"
"There is essentially no difference between those who voluntarily sign a contract with me and those who voluntarily sign a contract with Li Ge. The only difference is... I am a devil and he is a human."
"So, why can't I put my power directly into Nine Heavens of Li Ge?"
"In this way, it can save me the time of searching for the fallen Soul Stone, and it can also add some background to Li Ge's Nine Heavens... and you don't have to keep staring at me."
Mephisto suppressed his anger and explained his true thoughts as calmly as possible. Even the magma and cracks on the ground dimmed.
"Oh...?"
"So... are you really here to cooperate with Li Ge?"
Ancient One looked at Mephisto with a smile. Although there was a smile on his face, the vigilance deep in his eyes had not disappeared.
"Then you will be disappointed. Li Ge is not here now. He should be traveling around the universe!"
Of course Ancient One will not reveal the true whereabouts of Li Ge. If Mephisto knew that Li Ge could freely travel through parallel universes, he would probably be even more greedy.
"Travel the universe..."
Mephisto gently stroked the base of the lotus platform of the god statue copied by Mirror Dimension. Under the nearly 100-meter-high lotus platform, he looked so small and so conspicuous.
He did not completely believe what Ancient One said, nor did he completely disbelieve it, but he knew that he would never see Li Ge today.
"Damn Li Ge, why didn't you leave any traces at all? You can hide your whereabouts better than me!"
If Li Ge had not been found, Mephisto would not have found Divine Revelation Temple. After all, this temple was built by Bishop who was personally recognized by Li Ge. It is most likely that he would encounter Li Ge.
"Ancient One, thank you for your advice. It seems I should say goodbye. I hope Li Ge will come back soon. I can't wait to chat with him about cooperation."
Mephisto bowed to Ancient One, his manners were elegant, and there was no sign of the demon lord's ferocity at all.
Then he glanced left and right, indicating with his eyes that Ancient One should open Mirror Dimension.
Buzz--
Making mysterious gestures with his palms, Mirror Dimension began to fold, twist, and roll with the movements of Ancient One, causing strong spatial fluctuations, and the real temple loomed outside.
"I hope you can remember the agreement and don't let me know that you have done something you shouldn't do!"
"Don't worry, I am a demon of integrity and will never break a contract!"
"Then I'll wait and see."
Mirror Dimension silently turned into a phantom and disappeared, and the figure of Mephisto also turned into black smoke and dispersed. Only the figure of Ancient One still stayed under the statue.
"I hope you really know what you are doing!"
Ancient One finally looked at the Nine Heavens and Samsara Realm models that looked like they were floating on the palm of his hand, leaving a sigh, and the figure also blended into Void.
"Huh? Someone seemed to be talking just now. Did I hear it wrong?"
A believer in charge of cleaning Subordinate God turned around behind the statue, holding a rag in his hand, looking at the open space in front of the statue, and frowning in confusion.
Then his eyes swept across the lotus platform. "Why are there still palm prints here? Didn't they just be wiped off?"
New York, Hell's Kitchen, in a dark alley, a black smoke swirled out of thin air, and the figure of Mephisto was looming inside.
He raised his head in the direction of Divine Revelation Temple, and the power fluctuation imprinted there by Li Ge was so obvious in his eyes.
"Li Ge, a little guy, no one can refuse my contract!"
Mephisto's eyes were as scarlet as blood. Behind him, a shadow appeared. A tall and ferocious red devil with its horns rising into the sky, grinning, revealing a mouth full of fangs, staring directly in the direction of Divine Revelation Temple with greedy eyes full of malice.
Ancient One's defense was not wrong, Mephisto really wanted to trick Li Ge on the pretext of cooperation, and secretly infected Nine Heavens into something of his own.
Although Li Ge did not develop Nine Heavens according to the direction of the dimension, but refined it according to the direction of the natal artifact. Logically speaking, it has been completely integrated with Li Ge, and there is no way for others to leverage it.
But who is Mephisto? The devil king who specializes in playing with contracts. He has already played tricks on contracts.
He has the confidence to infect Nine Heavens bit by bit in the form of a contract, and turn Nine Heavens into his own without Li Ge being aware of it.
"Da da... ta da da..."
"Quickly, arrest that damn guy. He borrowed my money and wants to default on it, then use his body to pay the debt!"
A burst of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded from the entrance of the alley, followed by rude curses, followed by several responses.
Mephisto's eyes returned to normal in an instant, and the shadow behind him also disappeared into the darkness. He was holding the scepter quietly, and with a strange smile on his face, he watched an embarrassed man running towards him in a panic.
"Oh~ let me see, a desperate poor man, the great Mephisto can generously grant you a contract, and the price is... your Soul Stone!"
