Chapter 247: Battle Plan and Soul Casino
In the hazy nebula-like star disk, a huge head more than 2,000 kilometers long floats silently in the void.
From afar, a black-purple flame could be seen swirling around it.
When you get closer, you will find that it is tens of thousands of skeleton floating cannons with a height of 100 meters, with purple light in their eyes, and the burning black and purple void fire is connected.
And if you are willing to study, you will see that this skull cloud is devouring the surrounding nebula matter, and every time it accumulates to a certain extent, it will split into a new skeleton to join the ranks.
The original cortical teleportation center in the Void Realm has been transformed, and McQueen removed the teleportation device and turned it into a spherical command center with a diameter of thousands of meters.
In the center is a 100-meter-long circular command platform, surrounded by a stepped auxiliary operation platform, where hundreds of elite conductors wearing black and blue straight uniforms and armbands engraved with Hydra are staring at the three-dimensional screen to summarize information.
On the circular command platform, a huge three-dimensional three-dimensional map was suspended in mid-air, and Li Mo was explaining.
"The Abyssal Hell Dimension, ruled by the dimensional demon god Marduk, is a small pocket universe in the shape of a funnel, with 30 layers according to legend."
"The area of the first layer is slightly larger than that of the Milky Way, and it gradually decreases in turn, and the rules of the spatial dimension are becoming more and more strange, and ordinary three-dimensional creatures in the main universe can only reach the seventh layer at most. Marduk hibernate at the bottom. β
"According to the information sent back by the Void Walker, the planet where the lava demon is located is located in the fourth layer, and the dimensional energy has begun to be intensive, and the geological activity is very active, so a large amount of magic metal can be born."
"Let's talk about what we think." After Li Mo finished speaking, he sat on a suspension chair.
Ophelia stood up and zoomed in on a red planet, "The planet where the Lava Demon is located has been surrounded by a demonic army under Romdak. β
After zooming in again, you can see that the planet is surrounded by more than two dozen demon ships several kilometers long, made of strange rocks with a rough mineral style, powered by a demonic circle, and spewing blood-red flames.
"The number of this force is unknown, according to estimates, it will not exceed 500,000, but their individual combat ability is very strong, so this time they mainly rely on magic golems to attack."
"In terms of strength, we don't have much advantage, and according to Kubaka, there are dozens of similar units under Romdak. So my advice is to fight quickly and exit the Abyss Dimension as soon as you succeed. β
The big boss then stood up, "The Void Mage Group and McQueen have conducted a spatial calculation, as long as the space beacon is fixed, the Void Ignorance can perform dimensional shuttle and descend near that planet within ten minutes." The same amount of time is required for evacuation. β
The deputy head of the Void Mage Regiment, Perus, reported: "With full production, the number of skeleton floating cannons has now exceeded 10,000, and the number of magic golem troops has also reached 50,000. My advice would be to wait another week. The number of skeleton floats will not form until the number of skulls exceeds 20,005, and the current shortage of puppet troops can only reach 70,000 at most. β
Li Mo frowned and knocked on the table, "Another week?" But I'm afraid the lava demons won't last that long. The news has already spread that a large number of demons from other dimensions will invade there, and Romdak certainly has no patience to drag it on. β
"So be it." Li Mo thought for a while and said, "I'll take a team of troops to support first, and strive to delay it until the preparation is completed in ignorance." β
"Boss, don't do this!" Everyone else is in a hurry. Ophelia advised, "As a leader, you can't take risks yourself. β
"Don't worry." Li Mo waved his hand, "Marduk is dormant, I'm very safe, it's just a big deal to run back after failure." But if the ignorance is gone, I will cry to death. This is my whole possibility. β
Seeing that everyone was still going to persuade, Li Mo stood up directly and said, "That's it." β
"Prepare now, do your job, I'll be out in an hour!"
β¦
Earth, Las Vegas, Nevada.
During the Great Depression in the United States, in order to survive the economic difficulties, the Nevada legislature passed a bill to legalize gambling, and Las Vegas quickly rose to become a world-famous gambling city.
Today, it relies on the gambling industry to drive tourism, and has become a comprehensive entertainment city, the capital of crime.
A few months ago, a black Gothic skyscraper was erected and named Soul Casino.
As soon as it appeared, it attracted many gamblers, and here you can enjoy the ultimate pleasures of the world.
And even more mysterious is its underground casino, where legend has it that you can get anything you want with souls as a bet, but only a half-claw news has come out, and all those who want to explore have mysteriously disappeared.
It was night, and the building's casino was brightly lit, and bewitching girls in cool clothes were patrolling the tables with champagne.
At one of the gaming tables, William, a professional gambler with a bearded face, had already lost his eyes, he couldn't figure out what was wrong with him, and after coming here, he completely lost his former calm, and he lost all his net worth cleanly.
Looking at the chips that were taken away by the dealer at the end, William remembered a legend, gritted his teeth and asked, "I heard that you can pledge 1 million chips with your soul here?" β
The gamblers next to him laughed, and a fat white man sneered, "You guy is crazy." β
However, the dealer smiled and nodded, "Yes sir, there is such a rule." β
William was stunned at first, and then asked with some confusion: "If I also lose, will you kill me or not let me leave?" β
The dealer smiled, "You are free to leave, we will not hurt you." β
Is the owner of this casino a fool?
William was overjoyed and said loudly: "Okay, I'll press my soul!" β
Half an hour later, William lost again and left the casino in despair.
The gambler next to him was stunned for a while, and he could really leave freely?
After glancing at each other, a pair of hands were raised.
"I'm staking my soul too!"
"And me, can you take the money away?"
"Absolutely, sir."
"Great, I'll bet too!"
Outside the hotel, William, penniless, was surrounded by a group of black men.
"You guys should have won a lot, right?" The black man in the lead smiled, "With $200,000 in interest, the cooperation is pleasant." β
William's face was a little ugly, "That... Can you lend me another 100,000, you know with my technology..."
βf**kοΌβ The black man was first surprised, then annoyed. He made a lot of money by making temporary loans to clever gamblers, but this situation was the last thing he wanted.
Because if a gambler wants to borrow money and turn over the book with a white face, it means that he will lose forever.
Thinking of this, the black man was annoyed and directly punched William.
Well!
William threw himself on the ground with a muffled thud, and his head hit the iron railing next to him, and the blood slowly flowed out, and the person also fluttered a few times before he stopped moving.
βoh shitοΌβ The black man felt that he was extremely unlucky, and he just wanted to teach him a lesson, how could he kill someone.
"Get out of here... Yes! β
After the black man whispered a word to his men, as soon as he turned around, a fist appeared in front of him and knocked him unconscious.
Matt, who was wearing a suit, slowly withdrew his fist and called the police without hurrying. The group of black men saw that the situation was not good, and left in a hurry.
The Punisher Frank Casul, who was standing on the side, completely ignored the matter here, and looked at the Soul Mansion expectantly, "Let's go." β
With that, he strode towards the building.
Matt nodded and followed.
After they left, the police quickly arrived to arrest the suspect and explore the body, and the scene was busy.
What the police couldn't see was that William, who had become a soul body, looked at his corpse with a stunned face, "I'just... So dead? β
Just as William was lamenting and looking forward to heaven, a tall, red-skinned demon suddenly appeared and grabbed him, "According to the contract, your soul now belongs to the great lord Mephistopheles. β
After saying that, William's frightened gaze shook out the agreement he had just signed at the casino.
"Is this true?"
"No, no, I don't want to go to hell, I'm going to heaven, Lord, save me!"
The ground suddenly cracked open with a crack filled with red-hot magma, and countless pairs of rotting hands dragged William down as he screamed before the crack vanished.
"Angels, those guys are more assholes." The red-skinned demon sneered disdainfully, and then his figure faded away.
Matt the Daredevil and Frank the Punisher walk into the resplendent hall and arrive at the front desk.
The blonde beauty in a black uniform smiled politely at the front desk, "Good evening, two gentlemen, want to exchange chips?" β
Frank handed over a black card with a blank face, and only a gilded pattern "M" was printed on the card.
The beautiful front desk respectfully took the card and smiled, "Please wait, two of you." β
Then, a large man in a strong suit led them into a hidden hallway on the side of the hall, which ended in an elevator.
Upon entering the elevator, Frank discovers that the elevator does not have any floor buttons.
Is it a human-controlled elevator?
Just as he was wondering, the white man put his hand on the elevator wall.
A magic array suddenly appeared on the ground, and a strong red light suddenly appeared in the entire elevator.
The light flashed, and the three disappeared.
Outside the hotel, not long after the police left, a portal with golden sparks suddenly appeared in place.
Strange and Wang walked out.
"This is it, who would have thought that Mephisto would dare to open a casino." As he spoke, the king took out his magic weapon, the Wand of Vatombo.
"What are you doing, put it away." Strange shook his head, "We're not going to fight today. β
"But Mephisto is inside." Lao Wang pointed to the Soul Mansion and said.
"I know." Strange said with a tired face: "But we can't afford to fight on multiple fronts. β
"There are too many demons who have spied on the earth, and Mephisto is quite principled. We're focusing on the kind of Dormammu, who is going to eat the entire planet alive. β
"Besides, we don't have anything good to do with Mephisto, his strength will drop greatly after leaving hell, so this is just an insignificant doppelganger on Earth, even if it is destroyed, it will soon come again."
"So what are we going to do?" Lao Wang had a headache.
Strange smiled, "I decided to threaten him. β
After entering the hotel, under the magical pressure of the two, they soon met Mephisto on the top floor of the hotel.
Mephisto's doppelganger was a delicate old man in a gorgeous black gown, standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling window looking out at the brilliant lights.
"Depravity, lust, indulgence, tyranny... It's a wonderful city, isn't it. Mephisto turned his head and said with a smile, "New Supreme Mage, are you here to threaten me, why are you?" β
Strange opened his mouth, and after a long time, he muttered, "I can keep an eye on you and make your life on Earth uncomfortable." β
"Ahh I'm so scared! β
Mephisto made a funny look of disdain.
"I'll just say I'm going to fight it anyway." Wang stared at Strange dissatisfied.
Mephisto waved his hand, "Come on, can you talk like a civilized person, don't fight and kill at every turn." I'm a businessman. β
Strange stopped Lao Wang, stared into Mephisto's eyes and asked, "What kind of conspiracy are you doing so much here?" β
"Conspiracy? No, there is no conspiracy. Mephisto shrugged, "It's nothing more than a soul trade, it's been around since the dawn of humanity, hasn't it?" Yes... Speaking of which, we are the oldest profession. β
"You know, business in Hell is sluggish right now." Mephisto said as he poured a glass of wine for each of them, "So I just did some industrial optimization." β
Seeing that the two of them were still looking at him with dark faces, Mephisto rolled his eyes, "Okay, if you don't worry, I can let you see." β
After speaking, with a wave of his hand, there was a scene in the hotel casino halls, "To provide the best service to customers, put an end to all the old people, there is absolutely no black box operation." β
"They pledged their souls!" Strange said with a frown.
"You love me, don't you?" Mephisto shrugged.
Then, with another wave of his hand, a huge circular Colosseum appeared in the image, "The second pillar of the hotel, the Soul Arena." Specially provided for VIP people, you can use your soul as a bet to exchange for the soul of your loved one. β
Strange had a bad look on his face, and he spotted the figures of Matt the Daredevil and Frank the Punisher, although they didn't deal with each other, they also knew that these two were famous heroes.
Mephisto smiled when he saw Strange's expression, "What a touching act of two sad people wanting to redeem their past." β
"You deliberately kept the souls of their loved ones?" Strange asked.
"Yes." Mephisto shrugged, "I even kept Peggy for that so-called God-righteous Captain America. Carter's soul. β
"These people were supposed to go to heaven!" Strange was furious.
"Heaven?"
Mephisto sneered, a hint of playfulness on the corner of his mouth, "Have you ever been to the Garden of Eden to see it yourself?" β
β¦
Ignorantly.
Outside the City of Truth, on the huge starship platform, a team of thousands of magical golems is boarding the McQueen in an orderly manner.
In the cockpit shrouded in shimmering light, Li Mo sat in the captain's seat in the middle of the empty hall, lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, "Old fellow McQueen, haven't you been complaining that you want to go out to surf, this time it's just the two of us." β
McQueen's projection appeared next to him, gesturing to a Vulcan.
Outside the spaceship, after all the magic puppet troops boarded the plane, several members of the Void Mage Regiment quickly opened a huge dimensional door in midair.
The McQueen floated slowly, swooping through the dimensional portal and vanishing.
