Chapter 183: The fog clears
This medieval cave is dark and ancient, and the fallen tribes of humanity have spread plagues in order to resurrect evil gods.
"I'll set the whole of London on fire!"
Strange's words were full of anger, he was a doctor and knew the dangers of these plagues in particular, and the Cloak of Demon Float seemed to feel his anger, and the hunt flew away.
The Scarlet Witch couldn't help but cover her mouth and twist her face to the side.
Johnny Blazer was a little bored: "It's always been like this, it's always been like this, there's always all kinds of intrigues and sabotage. β
Li Mo, who was a little slightly clean, even though he had already put on a nano mask, his face was still iron-blue, "Don't look at it, let's hurry up and find the Ancient One Master and them, and burn this place clean with a fire, it's so disgusting, look at these mice, I'm about to vomit..."
Everyone nodded, and immediately exited the room and quickened their pace to search.
The passages here lead in all directions, the crumbling earthen walls are covered in cobwebs, the underground is wet and muddy, and the low, oppressive ceilings can easily drive claustrophobic people crazy.
In order not to waste time, Li Mo directly summoned the big eyeballs and used them all the way back in time.
Along the way, there were some soldiers patrolling with short spears, and although the members of the Blood Clan looked a little weird and looked like vampires, they were only a little stronger than ordinary people.
Barely waiting for Li Mo to make a move, an angry Strange quickly dealt with the guys, and they soon came to the door of a large hall.
There are several torches placed on the walls on both sides of the hall, and the flickering dim light makes the atmosphere a little eerie. Brother Crutu and Ophelia were tied to two stakes, their eyes closed and unconscious. The Ancient One was placed alone in an altar-like place.
Forty or fifty Blood Clan mages dressed in black monk's robes and hooded were chanting ancient incantations loudly to a three-meter-tall stone statue.
Li Molu and Johnny learn a little about the history of the Blood Clan, once noble and holy, but after its depravity, it is as evil and filthy as a rat in the gutter.
The stone statue they worshipped was more than three meters high, and the demon's body, skeleton-like skull, had begun to glow with blue fire.
There seemed to be a hallucination in the eyes of everyone, the dark sky, the bleeding earth, the mountains of dead bodies...
"Oops, they're almost there." Johnny Blazer's face changed drastically, "They must be stopped immediately, if Zatanos is resurrected, we will all play it." β
"Is this Zatanos pretty good?" Li Mo turned his head and asked.
"I know best how terrifying he is, he has the power of a top-level dimensional demon god, but he is an elemental demon native to the earth." Johnny replied.
"Wait a minute, you mean he can exert his full power on Earth?" Li Mo asked in disbelief.
Johnny Blazer nodded with an ugly face.
Dimensional Demon Gods are very powerful, but they are limited by the rules of space, and at most a small number of clones can descend. If this unrestricted Zatanos is really resurrected, Li Mo can run, but the earth will definitely be finished.
βshitοΌ Kill them! β
Thinking of this, Li Mo didn't hesitate any longer, and after yelling, he immediately summoned a tentacle and threw it fiercely, and at the same time, the big eyeballs continued to emit crimson energy rays.
There was no doubt that Li Mo's attack power was powerful, and the tentacles and energy rays hit the ground and splashed a large number of stones, and the hall began to tremble, and the rock dust continued to fall.
The evil mages of the Blood Clan were hit hard almost instantly, while the rest were frightened and hiding.
Li Mo didn't even have time to think about whether he would destroy this place and cause it to collapse, he just wanted to kill these people quickly.
At this moment, the bodies of those dead Blood Clan mages drilled out of their bodies with distorted souls that were visible to the naked eye, and they were silently and painfully sucked into the statues.
The dark blue flames of Zatanos' statue began to rise violently, and a huge energy shield that suddenly appeared blocked all attacks.
Strange and the others were also attacking, but like Li Mo, all the magical energy was blocked by this huge spherical energy shield, and no damage was done to the people inside.
Li Mo stopped his hand and wanted to summon a tentacle attack from inside the energy shield, but the spatial structure there was protected by a strange energy and could not penetrate the void.
Strange followed up and tried, and all the spatial magic, portals, and mirror spaces were all useless.
"What's going on here?" Li Mo asked Johnny Blazer anxiously.
"It's late," Johnny Blazer's face was a little ashen, "Zatanos's soul has been resurrected. β
Then, his eyes suddenly widened, and he anxiously shouted at Li Mo: "Leave quickly, I can't let him get the Medal of Strength, where most of his energy is stored, if he is allowed to get..."
However, his words were already a little late, and the Medal of Power that Li Mo had placed in his arms suddenly flew out by itself, shooting quickly towards the energy shield.
When Wanda saw this, the scarlet witch was in a hurry, and immediately reached out to the void and tugged at it, and a stream of red energy suddenly surrounded the Medal of Strength, but it only slowed down a little.
Li Mo also hurriedly summoned a few tentacles, and the powerful force finally stopped the medal from continuing to fly forward.
But to everyone's surprise, even if it was confined, the ancient medallion still spewed out a large amount of dark blue light like steam, and these lights distorted the space with great power, gradually converging towards the statue of Zatanos.
The dark blue light on the statue grew worse and worse, and the color of the statue had begun to change.
Li Mo even used the power of the Reality Gem, but the dimensional energy he could extract was far inferior to Zatanos.
If you add the power gem, he may have some chances, but he is a little cautious and does not dare to carry two gems at the same time, so he still puts it on the McQueen.
Just as Li Mo was about to retreat strategically, a hand that suddenly appeared grabbed the Medal of Strength tightly, preventing the leakage of energy.
The space around them seemed to be disturbed, everything seemed to slow down, and the statue of Zatanos could no longer reclaim its own energy.
However, there was not a trace of joy in the people present, and a trace of despair welled up, because the owner of this hand was wearing a black aristocratic dress, and the corners of his mouth were cracked on his silver-haired face, revealing a mouthful of fangs.
It was none other than Mephisto, the lord of hell.
Hell Lord Mephisto's face was also a little bad, and his hands seemed to use all his strength to cover the medal tightly, blocking the continued ejection of energy.
"Oh, f**k, you stupid." Mephisto scolded directly, then frowned and whispered to himself, "Things shouldn't have developed this way, who is making trouble?" β
"Mephisto, what the hell are you having?" Li Mo asked with a bad face, he felt like a donkey walking blindfolded.
"No matter what the calculations are, aren't they all helping you, oh shit..."Mephisto felt wrong as soon as he said a word, and immediately used the power of his whole body to control the energy leakage of the Power Medal.
After all, this is just a doppelganger of him, and stopping the Medal of Power has already made it a little difficult for him.
Strange and the others were about to step forward, but they were stopped by Li Mo stretching out his hand, "What's the hurry, don't you see that the Hell Lord is more anxious than us?" β
"Am I in a hurry... Well, what do you bastard want to do? Mephisto's voice gradually lost its former calmness.
"It's nothing, it's just a very uncomfortable feeling to be kept in the dark." Li Mo shrugged his shoulders, "Lao Tzu decided to lift the table and quit, do you have any conspiracy to play by yourself." β
"I know why he's in such a hurry." Johnny Blazer said suddenly.
"When Zatanos fell, Mephisto did a lot of work, and even sabotaged the resurrection plan several times. If Zatanos is resurrected, I am afraid that he will first run to hell and be turned upside down. β
"Isn't that just right?" Li Mo was pleasantly surprised, "Find something to do for our lord, so that we don't have to play conspiracy all day long." β
"Do you think I'm in trouble?" Mephisto snorted coldly, "Zatanos relies on devouring souls to increase his strength, and when he goes to hell, I'm afraid there won't be much life left on the earth." β
"What's that, it's a big deal for me to go to another planet to play." Li Mo pursed his lips.
"Your threat is too low-level." Mephisto was a little dismissive, "Do you think the others will agree?" β
"What do you think of the others..."Li Mo's eyes gradually became a little cold, "Can you stop me?" β
"Where did you get the guts!" Mephisto paused, his eyes began to fill with insults, and a grand voice vibrated the entire space, and his figure suddenly became tall and unrecognizable.
Everyone felt a burst of heat, the pungent smell of sulfur filled the space, and the soul gradually lost and went crazy.
At this moment, Li Mo's voice suddenly sounded, "I always thought that Lord Lord you were a tease, it seems that this is your true style." β
Li Mo shook his head and applauded in admiration, while extracting a large amount of dimensional energy and using the Reality Gem, the surrounding space slowly returned to normal.
Strange, who came to his senses, looked at Mephisto warily and hurriedly used a protective spell.
Mephisto looked at Li Mo expressionlessly: "I will leave you a good place in hell." β
"Someday I'll be a guest with a swagger." Li Mo said with a smile and without giving an inch.
After the two were at a stalemate for a while, Mephisto suddenly laughed, "Okay, okay, what do you want to know?" β
"What are you planning?" Li Mo lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, "Also, Apocalypse, what is it?" β
Mephisto hesitated for a moment, and said helplessly: "Okay, anyway, this plan seems to have gone wrong, so it's okay to tell you." β
"The original timeline was that you and Strange stopped the plague, using the power of Zatanos's statue when it was destroyed, to stop that hapless Dormammu."
"But when I looked through the timeline, I found that the explosion at that time opened up the space between the dark dimension and the earth, although only for a moment."
"This gave me the idea to extend this time a little bit, and let a small piece of hell come to Earth, and then all the souls on Earth would be mine."
Li Mo applauded, "What a wonderful plan, but what are you going to do?" β
Mephisto looked at Johnny Blazer, "I did something with this stupid soul, he thought that coming back would change everything, but in fact it was just a beautiful dream, and he would serve as the soul coordinates of hell to come." β
"You old bastard!" Johnny Blazer was angry and scolded through gritted teeth.
Li Mo pressed Johnny, and then said with a smile: "I think something must be wrong, right?" β
"Yes." The corners of Mephisto's mouth twitched, "I didn't think I wasn't the only one who had this idea. β
He looked at the Scarlet Witch and said, "This girl's soul was manipulated by Sithorne, and the ancient one was taken by Shuma. Goras paid for it, and they all wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of the seal and come to Earth, so things went a little wrong..."
After Mephisto explained, the fog that had been there gradually lifted.
"No, there's another problem." Li Mo frowned, "Is it you the mysterious person who took away the Dark Divine Book and used the Eye Demon Iron Book to harm the Ancient One?" β
"Anyone else?" Mephisto also seemed a little puzzled, "Maybe it's a believer in Sithorne and Shuma." β
Then the old man he incarnated was also a little helpless, "Although I'm not afraid, I don't want to offend those two guys." This is the end of the matter, and what I can't get won't let them get. β
"This means that the three monks have no water to eat, so I wondered." Li Mo shook his head, "The universe is so big, what are you doing staring at the earth one by one." β
"Don't worry about it, the soul of the earthlings is far more special than you think." Mephisto snorted and said impatiently: "Okay, I've said everything that needs to be said, do what you so-called heroes should do, stop this broken stone." β
It was easy to seize this opportunity, how could Li Mo let it go so easily, raised his eyebrows and said: "Actually, I am a businessman, and I should talk about the conditions before doing things." β
"Shut up!" Mephisto's face darkened completely, "Say it again, and I'll show you what regret is right away." β
"Forget it, Lee." Strange stopped Li Mo, who wanted to continue the negotiation, and said solemnly: "We have more important things to do!" β
"Okay." Li Mo pursed his lips, "This is not your way of dealing with demons at all. β
Strange shook his head, stepped forward and asked, "What do we do?" β
"That's right." Mephisto nodded: "I'll open this energy shield, and you guys will break the statue as soon as you enter." β
Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, Mephisto immediately recited an evil demonic grammar incantation.
The center of the shield creaked as if it had been corroded by sulfuric acid, and a large hole gradually appeared.
Strange rushed in first, followed by the Scarlet Witch and the King, and all three of them simultaneously shot at the statue of Zatanos with the most powerful magic at the same time.
Li Mo shook his head and followed, immediately summoning several tentacles, first killing the remaining Blood Clan mages, and then tightly entangled the statue of Zatanos, using all his strength to start destroying.
After all, Zatanos had fallen for countless centuries, and without the offerings of his followers, his statue would have been fragile and shattered into countless pieces with a thud.
Everyone seemed to hear an unwilling and angry howl, and the blue aura in the sky rushed out, pouring back to the Medal of Strength like a tired bird returning to its nest.
The hall fell silent, and Strange sat down on the floor, gasping for breath.
Mephisto threw away the Medal of Power in his hand, squinted at Johnny Blazer, and said with a slight mockery: "Do you still insist on getting rid of me, or do you want to restore everything to its original state?" β
Johnny. Blazer's face was a little ugly, and he hesitated for a while and sighed and said, "You win this time." β
Mephisto smiled triumphantly, reached out and tossed out the Medal of Strength, and traveled through the void to Johnny's ancestors.
Johnny Blazer began to hold his head and hiss in pain, and a large red flame gradually crept up all over his body...
"That's a good dog." Mephisto nodded in satisfaction.
At this moment, the unconscious old monk Crutu suddenly opened his eyes and quickly floated into the air.
With a slight wave of his hand, two mysterious magic books floated in front of him, and with the sound of spells, two lights appeared, one black and one purple, respectively, and quickly enveloped Li Mo and Scarlet Witch, who were stunned.
Li Mo was supporting the Ancient One Master at this time, and the purple light shining on him came from the "Eye Demon Iron Book".
Almost instantly, Shuma appeared in the Ancient One Master. Glass, with big eyes and phantoms full of tentacles, pounced on Li Mo at once.
Li Mo's eyes darkened and he fainted.
The scarlet witch Wanda's pupils that were illuminated by the "Dark Divine Book" suddenly turned black, and she slowly stood up, staring at everyone present with an expressionless face.
"Crutu!" Strange roared angrily, "It turns out that everything is you, what do you want to do?" β
However, Brother Krutu didn't pay any attention to him at all, and only nodded slightly: "Lord Sithorne, Master Shuma, I have already chosen the best space beacon and possession object for you. β
As he spoke, he suddenly patted his head again: "Oh, by the way, there is another adult. β
As soon as the Ancient One Master woke up, Krutu threw an obsidian carved with red runes on his body.
A red symbol quickly appeared on the Ancient One's forehead, and a huge flaming head phanther of Dormammu appeared behind him.
Mephisto was a little surprised at first, and then smiled a little ugly, "Since everyone is here, then this matter will continue, and we may be able to discuss the division of territory." β
"Mephisto, that's not our plan." Strange's face was a little ugly, as if he had fallen into an abyss.
"Li Mo just said something very correct." Mephisto said with some mockery.
"You don't know how to deal with demons..."
