[Who cares? At worst, I'll just drag the other sisters down with me when the time comes...]

Chapter 311: The Miserable Mephisto! The Black-Hearted Arcanist

On the same night, some were surrounded by beauties, too happy to think of home.

While others were jumping up and down in a frenzy!

That's right.

I'm talking about Mephisto!

Because Su Ming did not interfere with the plot line related to Ghost Rider, the scenes from the original work unfolded as scheduled.

Johnny, having transformed into Ghost Rider to save his girlfriend, indeed followed Mephisto's script, arriving at the remote town in a blaze of sparks and lightning.

The foolish Blackheart remained completely oblivious to this.

Relying on his special constitution, he completely ignored Ghost Rider's Penance Stare.

The key point was that Blackheart, who fancied himself as having secured the grand trend, very stupidly tore open the Contract of San Venganza while Johnny was still alive.

The souls of over a thousand fallen believers were absorbed by him in one go.

To a certain extent, at this stage, Blackheart had successfully integrated sin itself. If he were to settle down a bit and take a step further, becoming the Evil of this World would not be difficult!

It's a pity, but Mephisto is Mephisto after all.

Just before the morning light was about to shine upon the earth, Johnny, who had almost lost half his life, miraculously stood up again!

In the end, Ghost Rider roared with his raspy voice: "Look into my eyes!"

Because of the sinful souls entering his body, Blackheart lost his trait as a soulless being and was instantly killed by the Penance Stare on the spot!

Mephisto didn't care about the death of the foolish Blackheart.

Even Johnny's defection was within Mephisto's expectations.

But now, Mephisto really wanted to ask why!

Using Blackheart's death as a sacrifice, the ritual He had set up in advance should have been activated!

The Hell Outpost should have descended immediately, guided the will of hell, opened the passage between the two realms, and under the distant echo of His true form...

So...

The Hell Gate that was supposed to exist permanently according to the plan!

Why the hell is it gone?

No! — That's even more serious!

Let alone the Hell Gate, He didn't even have the qualification to return to the Hell Outpost now!

What the projection saw was what Mephisto's true form saw.

"Damn it! Who is ruining my good deed?"

"Ancient One?"

"Or some other peer?"

Mephisto's rage instantly caused an entire Hell Sector to churn incessantly; sulfur volcanoes erupted one after another, and the black clouds in the sky rolled like tides amidst scarlet lightning!

But the next instant...

"Oh no!"

Mephisto suddenly let out a mournful cry. The sound was miserable, mixed with a bit of confusion and helplessness, and within that helplessness, a touch of disbelief!

The complexity of His emotions... made Mephisto suspect for a moment that something was wrong with His own sensory system!

Rubbing His eyes, with a sliver of remaining hope, Mephisto once again utilized His Demon God status to forcibly scan the miserable state of the entire Hell Sector...

Three seconds later, the completely frozen Mephisto roared in a frenzy.

"Damn thief!"

"Burglar!"

"Trash!"

"You bastard who deserves to be burned by hellfire until the end of time!"

"No matter who you are!"

"I swear in the name of Mephisto!"

"There is absolutely no room for negotiation regarding this humiliation!"

Mephisto's roar killed countless lesser demons of hell, and scattered toys (remnant souls) were everywhere.

But the clone Su Ming was laughing very happily.

Emmm...

I can only say, it's indeed quite miserable!

A small half of the dimension's origin was inexplicably lost, yet despite His Demon God status, He knew nothing about it!

This is like a ghost story!

It's just as absurd as a living person having half their flesh eaten away without them even knowing it!

Therefore, no matter how crazy Mephisto gets, He dare not leave His own territory. Even when investigating the culprit, He only dares to do it stealthily.

It was just like an incompetent husband.

He didn't understand; as a dimensional Demon God, He couldn't understand how this was done.

It is conceivable that if it weren't for the mishap on the projection's side, which caused Mephisto's rage and dragged the Hell Dimension into it, causing ripples in the rules that had remained unchanged for ten thousand years...

There is a 90% chance that even if Mephisto were sucked dry into a mummy, He wouldn't have reacted!

With this thought, Mephisto felt a chill in his heart.

His cunning mind operated at an unprecedented high frequency, but no matter how Mephisto calculated or investigated, He would always intentionally or unintentionally ignore the Hell Outpost, which should have been the most suspicious suspect!

"What a pity!"

The clone looked as if he had suffered a huge loss, his face full of heartache.

Ancient One, dressed in monk's robes, twitched the corner of her mouth.

With her knowledge, she probably understood what the other party was regretting.

--- Seeking Flowers ---

That's right.

This Hell Outpost, blessed by the Closed Star Ring, could easily deceive Mephisto's perception.

But...

The derivative Anti-Memetic field generated by the Hell Outpost was not that reliable.

Mephisto indeed couldn't find the real culprit, and wouldn't even 'know' that the Hell Outpost He 'ignored' was the source of His miserable encounter.

But Mephisto could monitor the entire dimension in real-time!

Once the clone extracted the dimension's origin again, Mephisto would be able to smell it and come knocking. Even if He couldn't see the Hell Outpost, it didn't matter; if He bombarded the general area, the immovable Hell Outpost would be ruined!

Therefore...

The top donor is running away with the bucket. It is indeed a pity, but it should be done.

However, in front of the person in front of her...

Ancient One suddenly felt that she, who would occasionally have a conscience and despise her own behavior of not paying back debts, was simply too weak!

Sighing, Ancient One asked helplessly:

"Your Excellency, according to the agreement between Kamar-Taj and Your Highness, in a short while, a group of Arcanists from Kamar-Taj will come here. Please construct the Mirror Battlefield in advance."

"No problem. However, don't send those with brain problems. I think you should understand what I mean."

Ancient One nodded in agreement:

"Please rest assured."

Just kidding, she, Ancient One, is also a character who has read the script once. How could she not know the personality of that Highness?

In fact, long before that Highness descended to this world, Ancient One had already been secretly laying out plans.

She exposed the fact that she was absorbing dark energy in front of Kaecilius in advance, and used the phrase [You should strive for it] to trick another unlucky guy with excessive Self-awareness into being overconfident.

Now it's good.

In a few more days, Kaecilius will defect in advance. And by using Kaecilius's sacrifice, she will trigger the anomaly of the Dark Dimension!

What's even better is that in this timeline where Doctor Strange is destined not to be born, the subordinates Kaecilius has hidden in Kamar-Taj will naturally approach Master Mordo.

A Mordo who is overconfident but also extremely Self-centered. One can imagine that he would never approve of Ancient One's approach of seeking another backer, so Mordo's defection is a matter of course.

And this...

is exactly the sacrifice Ancient One offers to Su Ming! Ding.

Chapter 312: The Law of Heaven and Earth, Imitating the Universe

Su Ming silently retracted his gaze from the Hell Outpost.

Previously attracted by Ancient One's address of 'Your Highness', Su Ming cast his gaze down, but he didn't expect that Ancient One had really presented him with a heavy gift!

What satisfied Su Ming even more was that Ancient One's actions had no noisy flattery.

Instead, she displayed the style of a top strategist, influencing the enemy's choices through inadvertent moves, thereby exposing those targets worthy of being hunted by Su Ming one by one before him!

After it was done, Ancient One did not claim credit. She only used a reasonable handover process with the clone to silently remind Su Ming.

She was reminding him to pay attention to the timing of receiving the gift!

So...

Su Ming cast a glance toward the River of Time.

Soon, a smile flashed in Su Ming's eyes.

Keisha asked curiously:

"Su Ming, what are you so happy about?"

Su Ming smiled:

"Having a World BOSS come to the door on its own is certainly worth being happy about!"

Keisha was thoughtful, recalling the direction Su Ming had just looked...

Was it Ancient One?
