Chapter 44: Collaborators
Hell.
Mephisto stood in the magma with his back bent, his heaving chest gulping and the dark red air flowing down his mouth and nose.
"Hahahaha-"
On the other side, the dense Olaf laughed loudly, and the laughter was full of joy and satisfaction.
Suddenly, one of Olaf's figures becomes illusory, causing a domino-like chain reaction - the other Olaf figures also become illusory, and then dissipate like bubbles in the sun.
Mephisto's face was very ugly, as if the ultimate winner in this battle was not himself.
He stared at where Olaf's figure had dissipated, and let out a wordless roar from his back.
Countless depraved souls flew in from all directions, rushing into Mephisto's body.
Slowly, the nightmare on the Demon Monarch's body gradually disappeared, and his eyes full of tyranny and anger also returned to their previous rational look.
"Damn shitty embryos!"
A palpitating expression flashed across his face, and Mephisto cursed a madman-like opponent, transforming his demonic body back into the appearance of a shadowy old man.
Over the years, Mephisto had encountered a variety of enemies, but for the first time he had encountered such a pure adversary who was only seeking death.
Moreover, the opponent's will and understanding are extremely strong, and with the fight with him, the strength rises rapidly.
Oppression-Ascension-Anti-Oppression, a vicious circle that binds Mephisto and Olaf together, forcing the Lord of Hell to use more powerful power to try to kill each other again and again.
However, invoking great power also means a deeper compatibility with the will of hell, which is what Mephisto fears the most.
Unwilling to be a martyr who blends in with the world like Dormammu, Mephisto has always resisted accepting the augmentation of the will of the world in "hell".
So, when Hela shines, he submits to himself, when Dormammu is rampant, he is submissive, and when the Ancient One rises, he is cautious......
Not only that, but he also has to find ways to eliminate the erosion of the "will of hell" on himself all the time: painstakingly collecting fallen souls, bewitching creatures from other worlds to summon the "will of hell" to come, and even trying to divide the "will of hell" experiments.
After countless years of calculations, after all, a lot of gains have been made.
In particular, the birth and continuation of the Evil Ghost Rider not only delayed the erosion of "Hell" on him, but also allowed him to improve the "Li Dai Taozhuang" plan to eradicate this matter.
Seeing the witch demon like a puppet being manipulated, following the path he had already arranged to the end of the "sacrifice", the lord of hell felt indescribable satisfaction in his heart.
But all this was ruined by the maggot called "Olaf"!
Between the life-and-death struggle between the two, Mephisto can only choose to drink to quench his thirst.
Therefore, even if he is the ultimate winner of this battle, in his current state of being eroded by the will of the world, he is actually defeated.
What's more, the Witchheart Demon also seized this opportunity to temporarily escape from his control.
Although with the carrot of "St. Van Gonza Pact" hanging, Mephisto was confident that his son would not be able to jump out of his design, but the experience of years of failure still made him avoid the invisible magic of the ordinary planet "Earth" like a snake and scorpion.
In order to suppress the erosion he has suffered, Mephisto has just exhausted the wealth he has saved over the years.
These corrupted souls were originally intended to be used in the ritual of sacrificing witch demons, but in desperation, he could only make this extravagant choice that made his heart bleed.
"You don't seem to be in good shape, Mephisto?"
White frost condensed on the flowing magma, and in a few moments, an elemental life wrapped in ice and snow emerged from within, and the high temperature that could vaporize the steel was like a fake.
"You're the one who's in bad shape, aren't you?"
The old-looking Hell Lord pulled the corners of his mouth perfunctorily and sneered.
"Indeed, the loss of the Ice Box has made me much weaker than usual, which is why I came to you to form an alliance. ”
The ice elemental that projected the consciousness of the King of the Frost Giants was unbelievably honest, as if the person standing opposite him was not a cold-blooded and cunning demon, but a righteous man worthy of trusting everything.
"You're late!"
Mephisto did not debunk the hypocrisy in Laufey's words, and replied in an indifferent tone.
"We are not the only allies!"
Laufey continued to try to persuade and put his own advantages on the table one by one: "'And Odin's sleep!"
"'Odin's Sleep'?"
Mephisto pretended to be interested in the rhetorical question, and his tone was extremely perfunctory, and his attitude of "I don't want to get involved in it, I just want to know more about it" is unmistakable.
Laufey didn't care, but explained everything he knew about Asgard to the other party in great detail.
During this time, he had contacted many forces, but with the exception of the "Dark Elves", no allies had agreed to form an alliance with him to attack Asgard.
But Laufey still "honestly" told everything he knew about Asgard's disadvantages in detail, and the secret of "Odin's Sleep" was spread to all the nine domains.
The King of the Frost Giants knew that these outwardly rejected fellows were not loyal to Asgard, but had their backbones broken by the Asgardians, or that they had something else to ask for like Mephisto, and that they would flock to Asgard as soon as the stars showed its decline.
Of course, there are some idiots who want to reap the benefits.
There aren't many people like that, and Laufey pretends not to know.
Neither the Dark Elves nor the Frost Giants had the idea of replacing Asgard to rule the Nine Domains, at least not yet.
All they want to do is destroy or crush the restraining person on top of their heads that has limited their progress, and seek a chance for the two races to rise again.
This is one of the reasons why the two parties can confidently join forces.
"Even if Odin does fall into a deep sleep, what does that have to do with me?"
Mephisto shook his head and once again rejected Laufey's offer.
"Discord's Nine Domains are the best ...... for Hell"
"I am the greatest development in hell!"
Mephisto shouted in a hoarse voice, his face full of self-deprecation.
"I see......"
In fact, after looking at Mephisto's current form, Laufey knew that there was little possibility of an alliance with the opposing side.
As the Lord of Hell said, he is the greatest development of Hell, as long as the ruthless heart is fused with the will of Hell, he can become the second Dormammu in an instant, and Hell can also take this opportunity to completely separate from the Nine Domains and become a real world dimension.
"However, even if I don't have the energy to attack Asgard with you, it's not like we can't have some limited cooperation. ”
Seeing that the ice elemental was about to collapse on its own, Mephisto spoke.
"How to cooperate?"
"Earth!"
Mephisto looked at Laufey's condensed ice clone with interest, and gave an answer that made the Frost Giant King frown.
"You also want to take revenge on the Ancient One?"
Laufey, who was sitting in the royal court, had his brows furrowed, the corners of his mouth raised, and it was a familiar name and a familiar suggestion, and it was clear that Mephisto, like Dormammu, also had the idea of a white wolf with empty gloves.
But......
Laufey is indeed not very comfortable with Earth, not only because of "Thor's Hammer", "Thor", "Loki", but also because of "Supreme Mage" and the otherworldly forces that he has just learned.
"Good!"
The Frost Giants agreed to Mephisto's offer, he didn't care about being cheated or giving up any benefits, as long as this war could break free from the chains that bound the Frost Giants, it would be an impeccable victory for him.
As for the entry of other careerists, he welcomes as many as he comes.
After all, as he told Mephisto, the Nine Realms of Chaos are the best Nine Domains, and this is true for "Hell", "Jotheim", and "Wat-Alheim".
"So, what do you want?"
"Heh," Mephisto let out a sneer, looking at the ice elemental that resembled the god of lights, "Do you think you can satisfy what I want?"
"You misunderstood me," Laufey explained, earnestly, "and I am talking about mutual help between collaborators, not a gift from the solicitor. ”
"I see," Mephisto nodded abruptly, his tone a little striking, "I misunderstood your intentions, Laufey. ”
The two exchanged a few words of greeting without any nutrition, as if they had established a deep friendship in a short period of time.
......
"You're talking about allies being dark elves, aren't they?"
After the pleasantries, Mephisto asked Laufey, but his tone was full of certainty.
"That's right," Laufey confirmed Mephisto's guess, "if you need some souls, I think I can help you ask Malekis!"
The Dark Elves have a tradition of capturing the souls of enemies and sacrificing them to the ancestral tree, and even some technological applications require soul filling, so Mephisto only mentioned it slightly, and Laufey guessed his purpose.
"Thank you so much, Laufey!"
Mephisto nodded, as if satisfied with the Frost Giant's claim, but only he knew what he really thought.
"You said 'also' just now, and someone else wants to take revenge on the Ancient One?"
Seeing Laufey prevaricate the matter of the "soul" like a cake, Mephisto knew that the real situation faced by the other party was different from what he had guessed, and simply followed the other party's mind and asked for the bait he left in the words.
"Dormammu!"
The smile on Laufey's face was even stronger in the royal court, and he gave out the name of the other collaborator and the information he knew without any psychological burden.
Laufey values Mephisto more than the frightened Dormammu, so he doesn't mind taking the previous collaborator of the "White Wolf with Empty Gloves" as a reward for another new collaborator with the same intentions.
"I see!"
Mephisto nodded and stopped talking, thinking to himself.
Laufey was obviously afraid that he was just talking, so he used two baits to draw his gaze to the earth.
The Lord of Hell didn't care about that, he had planned to take action to get the son who ran away back.
As for the rest, he hadn't thought about it just now.
Hela is sealed, Dormammu is defeated, and the limited lifespan of the Ancient One can turn into loess at any time.
The enemies that once embarrassed, gave him headaches, and even feared him are now almost all gone, and he is still the same...... If you don't take into account the heavy losses just now because of "Olaf".
Compared to them, it was not that Mephisto was powerful, but that he always knew what he wanted, for which he could spend thousands of years in hell, even to the point of bowing to his enemies.
But now it is different from the past, the "gift" sent by Laufey is really valuable, so that Mephisto, who has just emptied his family, has to calculate the possibility of eating it all.
