Sensing the judgmental energy emanating from Su Zhou, Shuma-Gorath exclaimed in horror:
"Who are you?! Why do you exude the aura of Divine Dimension?!"
"You're making a fuss over nothing, aren't you? This is the pure aura of Hell!"
Su Zhou unleashed another powerful punch, and the six wings of light on his back quickly unfolded.
Almost instantly, it enveloped the bloodied and mangled Shuma-Gorath, trapping it within a spherical space!
"If you were the very first fragment when you gained control of the Hell Dimension,"
Then you should know that this is what the original Hell Dimension tastes like!
A phoenix, shimmering with fire, began to appear within the spherical space and started to extend onto the outer shell of the space.
Su Zhou used the Phoenix Force once again to reinforce the space, just like the phoenix egg before!
"Those who do good will enter the Heaven after death and enjoy Eternity life and happiness."
If that's where souls find peace, a place called paradise, then what reason is there for Hell to exist?
Looking at Shuma-Gorath, who had completely lost its will to resist, Su Zhou punched it hard in the face again.
Answer me!
Shuma-Gorath seemed not to hear Su Zhou's question, and only continued to enlarge his body.
It started out as just over two meters tall, but instantly transformed into a colossal beast over two thousand meters tall.
It even filled the eggshell that Su Zhou had created, covering it entirely with twisted tentacles.
However, the part that was in contact with the eggshell looked as if it had been scorched by flames.
Even in just a second, it can char a large patch of flesh on the tentacles.
In an instant, the entire eggshell space was filled with the smell of burning!
"It seems you don't know the answer? But that's alright, I'm very good at answering people's questions!"
A shield made entirely of mental energy also appeared in front of Su Zhou, but his shield was much stronger.
No matter how much pressure was applied to Shuma-Gorath, there was no sign of it breaking.
It completely ignored the attack it launched and even burned Shuma-Gorath's tentacles in the opposite direction!
"Souls that have erred will suffer in Hell, where they will be met with punishment commensurate with their sins."
Burning, being struck by lightning, imprisonment, beheading, being boiled in oil, or climbing mountains of knives—doesn't any of these sound familiar?
That's right, it's the same methods those medieval priests used against what they considered heretics.
They believed this would allow them to purify heretical thoughts and punish them!
bite--!
A clear, ringing sound rang out, and a radiant longsword appeared in Su Zhou's hand.
The sword light easily sliced through Shuma-Gorath's tentacles, glancing at its core before flying away.
It quickly fused with the eggshell, instantly stabilizing the previously precarious eggshell.
"The essence of Hell is to become the opposite of Heaven! Without Hell, Heaven would be incomplete!"
"If I were you, after gaining control of such a vast Hell Dimension, I would have immediately pledged allegiance to Heaven!"
"You—!!! You actually sided with Heaven!"
Shuma-Gorath's shrill voice echoed endlessly within the eggshell space, as if even the air itself was trembling.
"That's the enemy of all the Hell Lord! This is a matter of principle! You traitor!"
Shuma-Gorath himself hadn't expected that it would be suppressed the moment the battle began.
Its most powerful ability, that all-pervasive mental pollution, had absolutely no effect on Su Zhou.
Moreover, Su Zhou didn't reject spiritual pollution outright; instead, he accepted it all.
After being purified by the Phoenix Force, it merged into his own power!
That's why it considered using its physical energy to engage in hand-to-hand combat with Su Zhou.
However, judging from this, Su Zhou was not prepared to engage in a full-scale hand-to-hand combat with it.
Especially after it grew larger, Su Zhou started using a lightsaber to kill people!
"Your attitude is very good, I like it very much, you'd better keep it up."
Su Zhou shrugged. Everything he said was true. If Shuma-Gorath didn't believe him, that was no wonder!
From now on, I'll at least be a department manager at the Hell branch, so let's just leave it at that.
After all, the villains in the Marvel Universe won't be able to function without this thing; they'll still need it to wreak havoc on the superheroes.
If you die once or twice every now and then, you can play however you want!
But now, playtime is over!
Buzz buzz buzz--!
The eggshell, formed from the Phoenix Force, began to contract, constantly compressing the space around Shuma-Gorath.
If it doesn't shrink in size soon, it'll be burned to ashes by the Phoenix Force!
Shuma-Gorath sensed Su Zhou's intent to kill it, and the killing intent vanished from its waving tentacles.
Instead, they kept attacking the eggshell, but with the bonus of territorial authority,
The eggshell remained as still as a rock, completely unmoved, and simply shrank slowly.
"Spare me! I am willing to submit to you! I am willing to give my soul for this!"
Shuma-Gorath did not want to die; as one of the oldest demons, it possessed Eternity life.
Even if he doesn't become Satan, but loses the Hell Dimension and all his power, and becomes Su Zhou's pet,
It didn't want to die either!
"If only you had said that sooner, I wouldn't have had to resort to violence."
But it's no use begging for mercy now; I will personally take your soul!
As the eggshell formed by the Phoenix Force grew smaller, Shuma-Gorath's size also decreased.
Finally, it returned to its original size of about 2 meters, and each eyeball held a pleading expression.
Pfft!
Su Zhou's right hand plunged directly into Shuma-Gorath's body, pulling out a semi-transparent eyeball.
The Eye Demon's pleas? Don't believe a word of them!
A black serpent, symbolizing Satan of Hell, appeared and swallowed the eyeball whole.
The Hell Dimension originally belonged to Shuma-Gorath had, at this moment, returned to its original form.
Su Zhou's strength remained unchanged, but his authority within Hell doubled.
Just like now, with merely a thought, he had Shuma-Gorath's soul in his grasp.
Its enormous body has been transformed into an adorable, furry octopus doll!
The eggshell cracked open, Su Zhou could see the outside world clearly once again.
Cyttorak held Chthon's head in his hand, his entire body radiating terrifying energy fluctuations.
As the source of power for the Juggernaut, Cyttorak, the Lord of the Crimson Dimension, can also grow stronger with each battle.
Just as they twisted Chthon's head off, Su Zhou emerged from the eggshell.
Holding Shuma-Gorath's soul in his hand, he looked at the panting Cyttorak and said:
"Hey! Not bad, I knew you could win! How about you just admit defeat?"
