Volume 9: Fate of Destiny Chapter 39 Damn Mason! How dare you poke me with a toothpick?
"There is a powerful divine barrier outside Mephisto's black castle. Superman has tried it and found that it is impossible to open it with brute force. You need to go and see it yourself."
Above the battlefield of the Hell Dimension, Perfect Ultron flashed over, holding a mechanical dragon spear stained with the blood of Hell, and said to Black Strange, who was casting a spell to transform a group of fallen angels into "soldier ration pills" to replenish their energy consumption:
"If we don't break that thing, we won't be able to advance our front line. The number of these infernal creatures coming from various planes is increasing rapidly. According to my calculations, in twenty minutes at most, their order of magnitude will officially exceed the critical point.
The casualties of the raid would then skyrocket and we would face failure.”
"There are still twenty minutes left. What's the hurry?"
Hei Qiyi expressionlessly threw the food made from the essence of twenty fallen angels from hell into his mouth, chewing it with a crunching sound, and then looked around.
The ground battle situation can still be maintained.
After all, those who came to Hell this time were the absolute elite carefully selected by various forces. Even the soldiers holding the front line were Alpha-level mutants. The forces of Hell, which were always known for their brutality and strength, seemed powerless when facing such a group of forces.
Of course, the reason why the coalition forces have been able to hold out until now despite their absolute numerical disadvantage is not only because they are indeed capable of fighting, but also because the Ghost Riders who were supposed to command this group of hell creatures to charge have now fallen into a rather strange situation.
You say they are slacking off.
They are indeed fighting against the guys who invaded Hell, and they can achieve some impressive results from time to time.
But you say they work hard.
Actually, not really.
At least, from the beginning of the war until now, none of the Ghost Riders has used the dreaded Eye of Judgment, let alone the Eye of Retribution that can judge many souls at once.
Johnny Skull, the Grand Commander, is currently fighting a one-on-one duel with the ronin Dante.
It seems that he is entangled by a powerful demon hunter, but the fact is, as an absolutely strong man who has killed the Void Sentinel with the Eye of Judgment, how could this guy be entangled by Dante in human form?
This is Dante too!
You're playing a fake match a little too perfunctorily. I mean, you should at least turn on the second stage of Spartan Demon Transformation to show your respect? You're just shooting at each other with two broken guns.
Can you break through the defense?
Just keep shooting, don’t bullets cost money?
"Well, I'll go take a look."
This scene made Black Qi shake his head helplessly. He handed over the responsibility of watching the main battlefield to Perfect Ultron and then teleported to the ridge in front of Mephisto's dark castle.
A layer of divine barrier, which was almost invisible, stood here and seemed as fragile as a soap bubble. However, when Hei Qiyi threw a forbidden spell at it, the latter was completely unharmed, without even a ripple.
"We have analyzed the principle of this barrier, Master Black Strange."
As the poster girl of the Dark Justice League, Zack soon teleported to Black Strange's side. She pushed her magician's top hat and reported to the super boss of the magic world in front of her:
“Divine sources from different planes were detected at the 337 landing points of the barrier. It is currently preliminarily determined that the power source of this barrier is not Mephisto’s own hellish divinity.
Instead, they come from those Earth worlds where he has implanted the seeds of divinity, that is, the base worlds that have been highly developed by the Star Society.
Under normal circumstances, if those base worlds are still functioning, then this barrier is indestructible."
"Tsk, same trick."
Hei Qi snorted.
He placed his hand on the barrier and felt the concentrated power flowing through it. While thinking about how to break the impasse, he used telepathy to say to Xiao Zha beside him:
“Contact Mason immediately and have him come here as quickly as possible. I can use the method of diluting divinity to open a door, but it takes too long, so we need the Black Death Sword in his hand.
That thing's restraint on all divinity is the best key to unlock this barrier."
"That's what I thought."
Zuckerberg responded in his heart:
"I reported the situation here to Mason five minutes ago. He didn't respond, but I guess he's on his way here as soon as possible. But is there really any problem with Mason's soul contract?"
The magician said worriedly:
"Although he himself confirmed that Mephisto could not use the soul contract to affect him, if something went wrong..."
"Your worry is pointless."
Hei Qiyi replied indifferently:
“If the old devil wants to interfere with Mason’s life and existence, he must be at least three times more powerful than he is now.
Mason is a man of some note! Although he may not know it himself, he does have a rather mysterious group of 'guardian angels'. "
"But where is his candle?"
Zuckerberg clenched his fist and said:
“Mason also has a candle, which is placed in the Star Castle. Although the people guarding there are his most trusted teammates, Mephisto can control them by force.
If the latter felt that he was about to fail, he would definitely turn the table over and kill Mason in the most direct way.
Devils are all cowardly, don't expect them to really follow the rules.
So in my opinion, you shouldn't be here...
You should go to Star Castle and guard the candle yourself."
Hei Qiyi was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said:
“I’m not the commander, but after seeing the victories that Mason has achieved through his wisdom, I think we should trust his judgment on this matter.
Go do your thing, Zatanna.
You are a very talented spellcaster, and you will definitely accomplish great things in the next era."
"Thank you for the compliment, but now I just want to see this all end with my own eyes."
Zuckerberg called his magic carpet to float beside him, stood on it, saluted Black Oddity and left.
Then, powerful irony magic was smashed from the sky into the surging front line at the rear. The Anubis pendant from Doctor Fate was also used. The gate of Hades opened on the battlefield. Under the cover of the bombing of Asgard's sky-chasing fighters, the huge Egyptian Colossus, the god of death, also swept across the battlefield wielding a giant blade.
None of this interfered with Hei Qiyi's analysis of the indestructible divine barrier before him.
He placed his fingers on the giant shield, trying to find its weakest point with his extraordinary understanding of magical power.
This is an operation to find the key point for the upcoming Mason. Even the Black Death Sword can hardly defeat the divine feedback from hundreds of worlds at once, so the most vulnerable part must be found.
"What are you doing?"
Mephisto's voice rang in Hei Qiyi's heart through the contact of the divine barrier. The old devil asked slowly, but Hei Qiyi didn't even bother to pay attention to him and pretended not to hear it.
But the old devil's nagging words continued like a mental attack. He said:
" I can understand why righteous idiots like Superman, Batman, and Thor chose Mason's camp. They have all been poisoned by the poison called justice, and have drunk again and again from the wine pool called hope. They have allowed the wine brewed by the future to numb their minds, and there is no cure for them.
But you are different, Stephen.
You are a complete villain and a lunatic.
I don't even need to read your mind to smell the horrible and strong smell of blood on you, and the evil face that gives me nightmares under your human disguise.
You're a scarier guy than me.
You and Mason's moral principles are incompatible. Your combination is as incompatible as using a crystal spoon to taste Indian curry.
Is it really just because of love? "
"What do you think?"
A strange black figure flashed and appeared in an area above the barrier.
He had determined that the power of divinity gathered here was the weakest, and he was looking for the weakest point in this area. At the same time, he had a leisurely mood and asked the old devil:
"Isn't that reason enough?"
"I don't believe it!"
Mephisto said firmly:
“Strength certainly does not mean intelligence, but when you have power at your level, life is no longer so free. You can’t do things as you please, because then there will be many inexplicable rules that will punish you.
In addition to love, there must be other factors that drive you to do your best to help Mason realize his dream.
Can you tell me what you saw in the answer to the hackintosh? "
Along with the questions came a huge surge of divinity, like a surprise from some nasty game.
Under Hei Qiyi's frowning gaze, the power cycle of the entire barrier suddenly changed, not only shifting the weak point he had just found to other locations, but also giving the peaceful surge of power a tense counterattack cycle.
This means that the moment this huge barrier is torn apart, all the divine power gathered on it will form a counterattack against the attacker.
Such a huge amount of divine power coming from hundreds of worlds would instantly tear Mason's existence into pieces. The Black Death Sword could not swallow such a huge amount of divinity at once.
Not even natural enemies!
Even the most greedy hawk will bloat to death if it eats ten rabbits at a time.
Mephisto knew that Mason had the Black Death Sword, so how could he not make arrangements?
"Well, it seems you understand."
The old devil's sinister laughter sounded in Hei Qiyi's mind, and he teased:
“From the moment the Star Society was established, I have been driving my baby hounds to search for divinity for me in various worlds. Of course, that is to prepare the firewood for transcendence, but some of it is also used to deal with emergencies.
I never thought that these precious powers would be used on an eighteen-year-old young man, but you see, you rudely broke into my home, killed my subordinates and wanted to strangle me, a lonely old devil.
I was just acting in self-defense.
No one or anything under Mason's command could withstand a counterattack of this magnitude. His gleaming power armor might still remain intact, but the price would be that he would be shocked to death in the armor by the collision of divine power.
Except you.
Stephen Strange, only you can consume this energy, and the price is that you will die...
Is it really worth it?
If you want to find love, my advice to you is to forget the past. There are so many good girls waiting for you in countless worlds. Why bother with a girl whom you killed with your own hands?
You keep saying you love her, but I guess you have even forgotten what she looks like?
Agamotto's devouring secret technique has a price, and I have done a little research on it."
After Hei Qiyi was silent for nearly ten seconds, he shook his head and said:
"No, you're wrong. First of all, every detail about Christine is fresh in my mind, and the starting point of all this is for love.
All your assumptions are wrong, and extremely wrong.
But I can't expect a devil to understand such a beautiful feeling.
Secondly, I won’t necessarily die if I swallow this power, but you… Sorry, you’re going to die today!”
"Buzz"
At this moment, the rift opened by the Speedster lit up in the sky above the Hell Dimension. On the huge mechanical surfboard transformed from the Mobius chair, the entire Mason family was falling from the sky screaming.
Mason, who already knew the current situation here, put the holy sword on his waist and raised his left hand. The black and sticky symbiote continued to gather and intertwine in his hand to form the most classic image of the Black Death Sword, which was then held in the palm of Mason's hand.
The scorching sulfur wind from hell blew the captain's hair, making it rustle.
He waved his wrist to let the gleaming silver Universe Main Power Armor cover his entire body, while the engineer behind him grabbed the board and frantically checked the calculations. At the moment when Mason was about to jump, he shouted:
"37%! This is the critical point! The Universe Master Power Armor will bear 37% of the divine power explosion, and the remaining 30% will be swallowed by Black Strange. The Black Death Sword will help you absorb 20% of the divine power.
As for the last 13%, it will be inflicted on the entire hell dimension in the form of an explosive impact.
In this way, both of you will be safe and the Black Death Sword's hunger will be satisfied so it won't become full and affect subsequent combat, and this barrier will be perfectly penetrated!
Believe my calculations, they are absolutely correct!
Do you see that point below where the black weirdo is standing?
Right there!
Push it down! "
"receive."
The captain jumped up from the mechanical surfboard.
The flying backpack pendant that the engineer added to the back of the Universe Main Power Armor was activated, and Mason's falling speed became faster and faster in the spray of dark blue plumes .
The Black Death Sword in his hand was also screaming and roaring. It was the impatience of a hungry creature in the face of delicious food, and it was also the madness of a greedy spirit wanting to satisfy its mouthfeel.
With the complete Black Death Sword in hand, Mason has earned the honorary title of true "God Killer".
Hei Qiyi, who was standing on the barrier below, looked up and saw Mason falling from the sky, wrapped in silver light, holding his sword down with a gesture of justice falling from heaven.
At the moment when the sword blade collided with the barrier, Hei Qiyi suddenly said in his heart:
"But you are right, Mephisto. I did not do this just because of love. I did have another reason, which was..."
"boom"
A horrifying divine collision erupted in the next moment. The divine power gathered from hundreds of worlds slammed into Mason with a fierce impact.
The main power armor of the universe was able to withstand the impact very reliably, and the Black Death Sword in his hand also split into countless black tentacles from the hilt, madly devouring the delicious divine power.
Behind Mason, the strange black Spirit King cloak was blown upside down by the energy.
And his face of the ancient god was revealed at this moment, in that terrifying form, with many mouths all over his body opened and flashing light in order to swallow more power.
The colorful and cool shock ring was applied to the entire battlefield with the Dark Castle as the center, and the nearest group of unlucky hell creatures were evaporated in an instant.
The full-strength attack equivalent to that of hundreds of gods even shook the entire dimension.
"Go ahead."
Black Strange, with white smoke coming out of his body, put his hand on Mason's shoulder. The friction and collision with the divine power caused the outer shell of the main power armor of the universe to heat up, but Stephen Strange felt nothing.
He said to Mason in a hoarse voice:
"Complete the destiny and kill the evil spirits here."
"But I am also interested in the question about Mephisto, sir."
Mason turned around and asked:
"Why are you helping me to this extent?"
"Because I saw that new world, a world where I no longer had to suffer the pain of loss, where Christine was waiting for me in her wedding dress with flowers in her hands..."
Hei Qiyi said in a warm voice:
"She and they are both so beautiful..."
