Volume 9: Fate of Destiny Chapter 46 You can play with the stars, as long as you can pay the price
"puff"
Shazam's fatal counterattack instantly broke Mephisto's defense. Not only was it physically broken, causing him to spit out black blood, but it also had the effect of penetrating the defense line on a psychological level.
Three great mentors all died within one day. Not to mention that he was attacked by the rebels at that time, even under normal circumstances it would be enough to make Lao Mo's blood boil his energy depleted.
This kind of injury cannot be healed quickly without lying in the magma pool for more than ten years, but the problem is that in this situation, if Lao Mo dares to lie down, Mason will make him never get up.
The old devil could foresee the disloyalty of his subordinates. In fact, looking at the Ghost Riders, one can tell that he had long been accustomed to this kind of disloyalty. He even regarded it with the devil's unique bad nature as a game that "is fun to fight with others" and that he would never get tired of playing.
To put it simply, it's courting death.
Crazy and deadly.
If this happened to any other leader, he would have dealt with the traitors under his command long ago, but Lao Mo didn't do that. He thought this was quite interesting and could be the most enjoyable thing in his endless life.
Then, as expected, he got into trouble.
"You're really capable!"
The old devil who was vomiting blood crazily turned around and threw out a black light to release a filthy curse, but Mason used the Phoenix Fire to resist and burn it. In the confrontation between the black and red flowing fires, Lord Fate gritted his teeth and said:
"Compared to me, you seem like a real devil, being able to penetrate the system I have accumulated over seventeen years to this extent in just a few months.
Mason, Mason, I'm really curious how you did it?
Just rely on your arrogant ideals?
Is this thing really that powerful?
I don’t believe it!”
"Believe it or not."
Although he was still inferior in terms of absolute strength, the captain had already taken the initiative in the battle. Seeing that the old devil was still frantically tearing apart the space isolation built by the disposable infinite gems, he stretched out his voice and teased:
"In addition to ideals, of course we need sincerity and love, but what's the point of me talking to a devil about this? You can't understand this emotion at all, and you can't guess what I want to express.
It's just like playing the lute to a cow and trying to prove that you understand music.
Because those stupid cows don’t even know what a qin is.”
Mason was in no hurry to attack.
He hung in the air above the increasingly fiery throne room of the devil, raised his hand and let the flying wild phoenix land on his arm. While teasing his bird, he said to Mephisto:
"You can no longer change this destiny. Even if you kill me, the ending will not change. What's more, you can't kill me. The Phoenix Power in my lovely Fox is enough for me to be resurrected a hundred times..."
"Chirp, chirp, chirp"
The wild phoenix also raised its head and shouted proudly, praising loudly that what Mason said was right.
It is the most powerful bird in this hell, although its current condition is basically equivalent to Mason's "charging backpack".
But that's okay.
When Fox meets his destined Miss Phoenix one day, he can brag about what happened today, saying that he and his owner teamed up to kill seven beasts in the palace of the King of Hell and created an immortal miracle.
During the whole process, I am the main C, and the weak owner can only hold me back and shout "Give me more energy".
"Pooh"
The old devil grinned and spat out a mouthful of black blood. He said:
"Even if you win, so what? I won't die even if you don't blow out those candles. If you can revive hundreds of times, why can't I? I have tens of thousands of lives in the entire Star Society at my disposal.
You know what's the best part? Mason.
I have studied your integration plan.
At the end of this era, you will eventually merge all the worlds and planes that currently exist, and all living beings will enter the new era with you.
This naturally includes me.
All I have to do is hide while you and the monster you're about to unleash fight it out on my turf.
Okay, that's a shame, but I'm a monster.
Reputation is not the most important thing to me. Your victory will be transformed into my victory, and we will start another game in the next era. "
"I think your fantasy of your destiny may be a little too perfect."
Mason shrugged and said:
"But it's not too late to give it a try. How about this? Stop resisting and just stay here and wait for death. How about I end this with Uncle Tun?"
"You wish! I am Mephisto. Even if I fail, I will spit blood from you."
The old devil called upon his incomparably powerful divinity of hell, wrapped it in his scarlet arms, and slammed downwards.
The thick space barrier made a sound like breaking glass. Mason saw that the hatred was not transferred and stepped forward to continue to fight, but he saw that Old Mo waved his hand, and several Ghost Riders who were fighting with the devil Dante in the rising hellfire were teleported behind him.
"Stop him! Didn't he say he could be resurrected? Then let's test our endurance against the undead."
Mephisto sneered and punched again. He no longer intended to waste his precious time fighting with Mason.
Through the transparent space separating him, he could see the "door-opening team" below jumping onto the suspended platform. As long as they could get through the traps created by black magic, they could reach the World Gate itself. Pulling the brass door handle would unlock the seal of the Death Plane, causing the Star Devourer to come and beat the old devil into pieces.
Only one step left.
"Look above your head!"
The engineer pointed his big wrench toward the sky and shouted.
Xiao Zha, who was trying to break the black magic trap with the help of the inscriptionist and the enchanter, was completely unmoved, but everyone else looked up and saw that in the rift between the top and the throne room where the lava river had stopped flowing, the grinning old devil had expanded his body tenfold to become a scarlet giant and was about to dismantle the one-time protection of the Infinity Stones.
Mason was entangled by the crazy Ghost Riders, and the devil Dante couldn't break through the maze in a short time.
They have no backup.
If Mephisto rushes down, all the previous efforts will be wasted.
Gray Bat had already drawn the bat knife, obviously intending to use his own life to buy time for the person behind him to open the door, but there was a figure who was faster than him.
Wrapped in green light, Hal II flew towards the backward flowing lava river in the sky. The unique green lantern ring in his hand flashed with light, constantly enhancing the power of this non-staff lantern hero.
“Leave it to me!”
He shouted:
"This is the moment when the strongest will shines, and this is also the day I fulfill the promise I made to my hometown! Keep going! As long as we don't stop, the road to the future will continue to extend..."
"You're crazy! Come back now!"
The alchemist standing on the black pumice stone screamed:
"Your energy level cannot possibly match Mephisto's. Even if you sacrifice yourself, you can't change the status quo, you idiot! Come back now!"
"Every Green Lantern is a fool. How can they be recognized by the ring without the will to sacrifice themselves for something greater?
We are always strongest when we are alone.
As long as we are unwilling to accept failure, we will never fail! And now, I am alone, and I have been alone for a long time. "
Hal No. 2 laughed and threw his head back.
He looked at Mephisto, who was covered in hell lava and rushed down from a great height, shattering his protection. The hellish divinity on his body was so strong that it was enough to distort reality and turn it into a gritting old devil who shattered everything that stood in his way.
It was a power that transcended strength, and its essence close to transcendence made the phantoms of Mephisto appear one after another behind the old devil.
It was the flickering of every node in the entire Mephisto network, and it was the time-space anomalies of countless old demons in countless worlds that gave him power.
This shameless guy actually shook people off even though he had overwhelming strength.
You can tell he must have felt terrified.
I made a devil feel fear...
This thought came to Hal No. 2's mind, making him feel particularly proud but also a little uneasy.
This might not be the most glorious moment of his life as he imagined, but there was no doubt that the current situation was completely qualified as the ending of his career as Green Lantern.
At least when he followed the old man and left the desperate world supported by the Flash, he never thought that he would be able to come this far.
It's time!
Let the light of will and courage bloom in the heart of evil and darkness!
"Hope is slim, despair is immense; the road to the past is shattered, and the dreamland is lost forever. The darkness spreads, and it cannot block my light; I am alone and brave, and I will never surrender!"
His unique Green Light Oath was shouted out loudly, and the sound was not pleasant, almost a roar.
But the sound spread throughout Mephisto's palace and underground area at once, causing Dante, who had just emerged from his demon state and was half-kneeling on the ground gasping for breath, to look up. Hal No. 1, who was still wandering around in the maze, felt something was wrong when he heard the sound.
He yelled at Number Two not to do anything stupid, and then he saw a light high up in the No-Fly Maze.
Green light.
A light that had never shone so brightly and brilliantly, like the sun, bursting out and obscuring the dome of the Hell Mountains, submerging everything in it.
The old devil is roaring.
It was the roar of being hurt and the anger of being blocked.
Everything went wrong for him today. First he was expecting to see Old A's death trap take effect, but Old A tricked him instead. Then he was caught off guard by Mason's army's sudden attack and was beaten into their lair. Finally, he was repeatedly teased by Mason and almost fell for the thieves.
It’s already this time!
Can you ants please get out of here! Is this something you can participate in? Do you think it will make you feel good to make trouble for a lonely old devil like me?
asshole!
Die for me!
"boom"
The fierce attack of the Hell God broke through the barrier light shield that Hal II had created with all his strength in the next moment. The ignited figure fell obliquely from the air, and the unique ring in his hand was shattered into pieces by this heavy blow that exceeded the limit.
A Green Lantern's career is over.
He gained only a few insignificant seconds, but it was more than enough.
"superior!"
Zack threw the priceless Anubis pendant around his neck and destroyed all the black magic traps set by Mephisto.
The gray bat took the lead and pounced like a black cheetah towards the World Gate body in the center of the floating stone formation, while Xiao Zha turned around and used all his magic power to release a crimson belt of Cytorak.
The crimson light flying all over the sky turned into chains that pulled at the roaring Mephisto. They were torn apart the moment they were bound, but new chains would be wrapped around him.
"Brothers! It's time to make the Mason family famous! We can't let that bastard Mason be known to others alone! Follow me!"
The alchemist tilted his head back and drank a bottle of superman potion.
He is an elemental creature and this thing has little effect on him, but it does not prevent the alchemist from flying up into the sky with his fists waving wildly.
The Engineer summoned a downgraded version of the Master Power Armor of the Universe and sent it up to connect to the jetpack, and the Jeweler threw out a flying disposable Infinity Gem, which was his last in stock.
The good duo, the Inscriptionist and the Enchanter, threw out the raw materials to set up an energy shield on the spot. The First Aid Master had nothing to do, so he simply jumped out with the Collector to rescue the fallen Hal II.
The tall and strong blacksmith stood on the stone leading to the main body of the World Gate, holding the Forging Hammer of the Hand of the God of Fire in one hand and the Hammer of Thunder in the other, like a brave man standing alone against the enemy.
Behind him, Gray Bat had grabbed the brass door handle.
He didn't even dare to look back and waste time, and he used all his strength to hold the handle and press it down.
"Click, click, click"
The mechanical sound of gears turning was heard, and the screams of the Masons broke out behind them. At the moment when the forger roared and rushed out, the gray bat gritted his teeth and pushed the door open completely against the hellfire behind him.
Afterwards, he was caught in the hand of the gigantic Mephisto, who crushed his bones and smashed him hard into the abyss below. Suddenly, a black figure rushed out of the door and rushed towards the direction where the gray bat fell.
"Um?"
Is there anyone on the other side?
Mephisto didn't have time to think about it before his big claws slammed down on the body of the World Gate.
What’s the point of opening the door?
It takes time for a being like Devouring Star to move over. Can't I just close the fucking door?
He thought so and did so.
But Mephisto pushed hard, and the silver door did not move at all.
It was as if something had stuck it.
The old devil was stunned for a moment and looked down.
The lord in white clothes and robes, Super and the kind version of Thanos with a brilliant smile, were holding the door from the front and the back. Not only did they not let Mephisto close it, but they pushed the passage connecting the two dimensions wider and wider.
Mason also deployed an army there?
This proper style is indeed as bad as always!
Mephisto felt that things were sliding into a bottomless abyss, but he had no way to retreat, as the terrifying aura of Galactus was already rising on the other side.
He came closer and closer, shouting Mephisto's name, just like the beginning of a ghost story prepared for the devil.
"Don't even think about it!"
The golden light flew along with the broken spear and hit the old devil's huge burning eyes. Sister Ka squeezed all the energy of her armor to the limit.
Driven by the chaos magic of the zombie Scarlet Witch, she flew up like she did when she first challenged the Cyclops in her twenties, clasping the Minotaur's axe in both hands and slashing down with full force in a posture of splitting a mountain.
The old devil grew so big that his defense failed, causing him to lose one of his eyes.
But becoming a one-eyed dragon is not the saddest thing, because the accumulation of power of the large group has been completed.
As Mephisto roared and stretched out his claws, a large group of "Omega Hybrid Light Cannons" were launched, giving the old devil a facial treatment.
The light cannon hit his face and caused his head to tilt back, and his beautiful beard, which he was most proud of, was burned clean.
“Win!”
Mason, who was high in the sky, felt relieved the moment he saw the door to the world being successfully opened. Then the members of the Mason family who had been killed reappeared one after another in the form of water clones.
They cheered and hugged behind the captain to celebrate, and the engineer was still waving his wrench and chanting a strange ballad like a cult: Mephisto is dead.
The Mexicans can no longer turn the tables.
Galactus' hatred for him was enough to drag a true transcendent into the abyss, not to mention that the old devil was still a little short of that level.
Behind Mason, who was in a swarm of demons, there was still Wild Phoenix spitting fire at several Ghost Riders, but at this moment the Captain and his friends no longer wanted to fight.
They were all having a terrible day.
Surrounded by the Mason family, Mason stroked the ring on his right hand and looked at the old devil's final struggle below with an appreciative look.
Mephisto tried really hard to close the door.
For this, he would rather endure the bombardment of a group of ants. However, a big hand flashing with purple light stretched out from the other side and pushed the door open little by little in a slow but unstoppable manner.
Mephisto's only remaining eye was flashing with a purple sea of stars and an equally vast despair.
He knows.
He's finished.
