Volume 9: Fate of Destiny Chapter 41 Ha, another super evolution direction of the Mason lineage has been discovered
Mephisto doesn't really live in his cool black castle. This entire castle is just a necessary appearance for him as a former lord of hell in his own hell dimension.
For example, the swordsman Liana, as the lord of Hell Border, also has a castle in her territory.
This thing is a symbol of identity and status.
Liana would occasionally complain that devils and demons actually have their own "popular culture", but their definition of "popular" is always quite distorted and perverted. For example, there was a time when many hell creatures in the hell dimension where Liana was located were obsessed with making weird music with the screams of their victims.
The more thrilling and scary the better, so that they can do bad things to the accompaniment of music. The reason for its popularity is that the hell creatures believe that this can effectively increase the "evil" feeling when they appear.
This job is not difficult for the swordsman.
She specialized in collecting great material during some of the world's destruction, making her the coolest lord in all of Hell during that "popular music" wave.
Sadly, that fad soon passed, and the next trend was to serve virgin tongues as a side dish.
Liana doesn't eat humans and it's hard to find pure virgins in this chaotic era, so she can only say goodbye to the title of "Queen of Hell's Trend" with regret.
In short, Mephisto's castle is just a "decoration" to cover up his real lair. His lair is in the magma pool below, which is said to be connected to the heart of hell, and can hear the howling of all the suffering souls in hell.
This can obviously give the Mexican who has done too many bad things and suffers from insomnia a better sleeping experience.
After becoming the founder and leader of the Conclave of the Stars, Mephisto had already used the power of the Council to unify the dimension of Hell where he was. The other lords of Hell either died or escaped, making the entire Hell a place where Lord Fate had the final say.
He merged all the kingdoms of hell together, which is the most direct reason why the carefully selected resistance coalition from various worlds would encounter continuous attacks from various hell creatures.
Although it feels great to hold all the power, it is actually quite boring when no one quarrels or plots after a long time. So it is not nonsense that Mephisto always calls himself a lonely old devil. At least when Mason kicked open the door leading to Mephisto's throne room and looked up to see old Mephisto sitting on the throne of the King of Hell, he could indeed feel that this was a hateful and lonely guy.
This guy was even bored enough to place sculptures of "old friends" near the lava pool where he lived to reminisce the good old days.
However, Mephisto in devil form is not as hideous and evil as the legendary devil.
His whole body was red.
He didn't have the wide wings like other high-level creatures in hell, which made him look slender, but the wide scarlet cloak of sin covering his body did cover up this shortcoming. Looking up again, you can see that the old devil didn't have horns on his head, but his hair was extended to both sides to create a hairstyle similar to horns.
Of course, how could that ferocious face be without his beard, which is known as the most gorgeous beard in the Nine Realms?
But other than that, there is no other highlight in Mephisto's devil form. Except for those eyes that sparkle like magma, he is not so much a devil as an overly wild big red-skinned human.
There were no messy and weird tattoos on the beautiful muscle lines of his naked upper body like other devils do. He looked like a "three-good student" among a group of evil demons.
This kind of devil form is really lacking in deterrence. No wonder Mephisto always appears in the outside world in the image of a human.
"You can take a few more steps forward."
Old Mo was leaning against the flames of his tattered throne of the King of Hell. He looked down at Mason in a controlled manner and said:
"You know you are challenging the King of Hell, right? Or are you completing this arduous task in my hell? I once wondered if you were really tired of living and were planning to commit mass suicide at this moment of 'hope' to end your meaningless lives.
This is completely different from the trap I imagined you would set for me.
There is no sophisticated conspiracy embellishment, such as tempting me to leave my country and execute me on your territory. This is too careless!
I feel like you are humiliating me.”
"What's the point?"
Mason stepped forward and entered Mephisto's throne room. In the hot environment all around, he said bluntly:
"You are only one step away from transcendence. What you lack is just a symbol. Your strength has already touched the boundary of the universe's gods. Even if we trick you out, it will be difficult for us to truly weaken you."
"But you have no chance of winning in my hell!"
Mephisto snorted, scooped up a handful of magma from the side of the throne and played with it in his scarlet claws. He said:
"You also have a Hell Lord over there. Didn't Border Queen Liana tell you that the Hell Lord is many times stronger in his own hell than in the outside world?"
"I just said that you have already touched the edge of transcending strength. Your own existence is almost consistent with the concept of 'hell'. Its power enhancement is nothing more than providing you with more energy to squander.
Compared to the temptation that might alert you, I prefer this kind of surprise attack that takes the tactical initiative.
At least I can be sure that when you were watching me step into Old A's death trap with great interest, you would never guess that another army would attack you today."
Mason shrugged and said:
"So don't pretend that everything went as you expected. If you were really prepared, then we shouldn't have seen even one Hell Lord on the way here.
The only ones who are there to support the scene are the Ghost Knights, who are not loyal at all.
How long do you think it will take for the Star Club members you instigated to break through the Star Castle and kill my team members? "
The captain sneered and asked:
"How long do you think it will take us to finish them off here?
This isn't a matter of intrigue, Mephisto! I won't allow myself to get into your area of expertise and play tricks on you.
I don’t want to waste any more time.”
"Well said! Even on the eve of victory, your thinking is as clear as ever, and your execution is as good as ever! I can't help but applaud you."
The old devil laughed, looked at Mason with admiration, and said:
"You should have appeared more than ten years earlier, so I wouldn't have to sleep here for so long because of boredom. However, no matter whether it is a tactical initiative or a perfect surprise attack, there is a problem that you can't skip at all.
strength!
Mason, the force you most despise has become the decisive factor.
Black Qiyi is already useless, how are you going to deal with me?"
"Can't you count?"
Mason said in surprise:
"The Ultimate K Squad has three more people including the minions! I just need to give them a shout and they will rush over and beat you to death."
"Then let them come."
The old Mo made a "please" gesture with a playful smile, but Mason didn't buy it at all. He raised his hand to activate the communication, but the next moment he was stunned.
"Ha, finally found it?"
Lord Fate stood up from his throne. He looked at Mason's Universe Main Power Armor, which had completely stopped its internal operation, and said with a smile:
“Technology and magic are two paths to the truth. Neither is better than the other. Unfortunately, most people can only master one in their lifetime.
What's even more regrettable is that I am just one of the ordinary people. I know nothing about these cool and beautiful technological means on you. So in order to avoid dying inexplicably from these things I don't understand one day, I made some small modifications to my throne room after I owned this hell.
All technological powers are useless here, my dear Mason.
You can try to have your perfect Ultron or defector Observer friend shoot a nuclear bomb in this direction and see what strange things happen.
Think positively! "
Arcs of hellfire hung behind the old devil, and the energy was so tightly compressed that it was almost like the power of the Devouring Star. He squinted his eyes and said:
"Maybe I'll be unlucky enough to be killed by a nuclear bomb? Wouldn't that save you from a beating? Oh, are you stuck in your armor and can't get out?
This is so embarrassing, do you need my help? "
"unnecessary!"
Mason was indeed stuck, but the next second he transferred himself out of the completely shut down Master of the Universe power armor in a water conversion.
What the old devil said was right. In this throne room and the lava lake area behind it, all technological means were ineffective. But on the contrary, the power of supernatural and magic was unusually active.
The captain felt that his abilities had been strengthened to the Omega level here, but unfortunately, even the Omega mutant had no chance of winning against Mephisto in a one-on-one fight.
Of course, this does not include those large groups of cheating guys.
"Look, I'm very powerful, and now I have the advantage of terrain. Most of your means of attack have been sealed. I won't die until the candles in the Star Castle are blown out."
Mephisto shook his head and did not attack immediately. He stared at Mason with his magma-like eyes and said:
“You thought that Mr. A had set a death trap for you and you escaped, but the truth is, there were two traps, and you jumped into the second one impatiently after escaping the first one.
I can understand that you are worried that if time drags on too long, the situation in Star Castle will escalate. Once the defense line is breached and the members who fear death get the candles, it will lead to extreme consequences.
But you really should have brought more people, Mason.
Do you know what the literary term for your current situation is? "
The old devil appeared in front of Mason with a whoosh, and grabbed Mason's neck with his claws wrapped in hellfire, lifting him into the air.
The water transformation was blocked by magic. Although Mason also had hellfire to prevent the attack from igniting his body, the ice he created still could not freeze Mephisto's arm.
"Hiss... a little cold."
The old Mo opened his eyes wide and lifted Mason in front of him.
He opened his mouth and deliberately let his tongue fork like a snake, and said sarcastically and threateningly:
"A sheep in the tiger's mouth, a moth in the flame, is seeking its own death! I may really lose, and everyone else on the Council except Doom has no chance, but this does not stop me from carrying your skull when I celebrate your final entry into the next new era.
Let me tell you a secret, Mason.
I don't care what happens to other people, except you...
I'm going to suck your soul out!
But don't worry, I won't torture you. I will immerse you in evil, hoping that you will be infected by the darkness but retain your wisdom and your abilities. I will then release you when you have mastered your magic powers in the next beautiful era that you have won with your own hands.
I will enjoy all the fun you bring me.
Ah, the Ark of Doom, I don't want to buy a ticket, but I can definitely get on board."
"Fox..."
Faced with this threat, Mason's answer was to call, if ice doesn't work, then try something hot!
"Chirp, chirp, chirp"
With a sharp but weak roar, a large piece of phoenix fire exploded beside Lao Mo. Faced with this fire of creation, the old devil reacted very quickly and rushed back to the throne in a flash.
Although the power of the Phoenix tends to be chaotic, the fire it manifests in is extremely positive, which is exactly the opposite of the nature of evil creatures from hell like Mephisto.
When the fat wild phoenix flapped its feathers and landed on Mason's shoulders, Mephisto's eyes narrowed suddenly.
He cursed:
"Old A is such an incompetent guy! He handed the power of the Phoenix to you, no wonder you have the guts to go to the meeting alone."
"I dare not come here because of the power of the Phoenix."
Mason rubbed his neck and stood up. He glanced at Fox, who was looking weak on his shoulder. This guy had eaten too much before, which would directly cause the wild phoenix to be unable to fly.
The whole bird is wilted.
You really can’t eat everything, it will kill you!
"There's nothing we can do right now. We can only go to plan B. Sigh, this is going to hurt."
Mason sighed, reached out and stroked Fox's feathers, and said:
"Come, I'll help you share some of the pressure."
"Chiu?"
Fox looked at his owner in surprise, with a look that meant, "Are you fucking crazy?"
Is this Phoenix power easy to bear? Look at how your damn sister has been tortured? Others can't even hide in time, why are you still coming forward?
"You're so stupid!"
The captain shook his head and said:
"Can't you just turn me into a Phoenix Apostle and then take it back afterwards? You and the Phoenix Force are so compatible, it would be a shame not to use it."
“Chiu!”
Fox understood immediately.
The next moment it spread its wings and took off. It had eaten too much Phoenix Fire and had no place to digest it, so now that Mason needed it, it would give it to him!
Anyway, mutants have always inherited the power of the Phoenix! And there was also a case of the White Queen using the power of the Phoenix to become a Phoenix Apostle.
This wave, this wave is called the son inheriting the mother's business!
"boom"
The brilliant phoenix fire spewed out by Fox covered and ignited Mason, and the pure phoenix power began to merge into Mason's body.
The magical X gene was extremely compatible with this power, and within a few moments, Mason's hair stood up, and as Fox, who had finally digested the food, cried triumphantly, the super-evolved Mason slowly rose from the ground.
It looks very much like the scene of a Super Saiyan transforming into multiple stages. What's even cooler is that the Phoenix fire really does overflow to form a reflection of a sea of fire.
The most outrageous thing was that there was not only fire, but also a chilly air constantly emanating from Mason's body. He raised his middle finger to the old devil in front of him like a "Hellfire and Ice Man" and said:
"The ultimate form of the technological side, 'Mason, the Lord of the Universe', has been banned by you. Now the ultimate form of the supernatural side, 'Mason, the Phoenix Apostle', is officially online.
If that's not enough, I'll show you the ultimate form of the madman side, 'Million Star Mason', later.
I don't understand where you get the wrong idea that I despise power. No, no, no, Mo, I never despise power, I just don't need it.
When I really need strength, I never lack it.
Want to eat my sheep...
Are your old teeth okay?"
…
"Hurry, hurry! Mason is talking nonsense with Mephisto over there to buy us some time. We must find the World Gate before his plan to delay time is discovered!"
At the urging of the pharmacist, a group of people from the Mason family went deeper into the edge of the old Mo's dark castle, and among them were members of the Justice League.
Gray Bat took the lead, holding a special instrument to search for the location of the World Gate. Everyone was very nervous, as they knew that the results of their actions would directly determine the outcome of this battle.
It was obvious that Mason's solo appearance was just a cover-up to conceal the real deadly action, and his appearance did indeed attract most of Mephisto's attention.
It's like the principle of the simplest close-up stage magic.
So far, the results are good.
Well, the captain has also grown into a promising magic tank that can attract aggro.
