The power of the gods comes from all sides, but authority is definitely an important part of power.

A god who rules a river is definitely no better than a god who rules the sun, no matter how old the god is, no matter how high the prestige of the god is, he is no match for the god who rules the sun.

It can be said that authority is the foundation of God, and without authority, this God is not a complete God.

Mephisto, who once held the authority of a part of hell, was indeed a monarch of infinite power in ancient times, but he had lost his authority after being defeated, banished, and sealed by the Lord.

It's really hard to say how much power he can have now.

Maybe he's weak as a little demon, maybe he's as strong as an average god, it's all possible, and it depends on how much he's hurt in the process of being defeated, banished, and sealed, is it a broken will? It's still fairly well preserved.

But no matter what, he can't regain his original power, unless he can defeat the current Seven Monarchs of Hell and reclaim his rightful authority.

"As I said, I'm just an ordinary old man guarding a creature that has made a pact with me." Mephisto repeated the phrase.

"You mean Steve made a pact with you?" Chen Xu understood, and then he had a seizure, "He has offended the great Egyptian gods, and he must die to appease the wrath of the gods with his soul." ”

"Lord Mephisto, you don't want to fight against the great Egyptian gods."

Chen Xu was tempting, testing Mephisto's attitude, if he was afraid, he would kill the former monarch, because he had proved that his strength was already quite weak, but if he was strong, Chen Xu needed to further test his bottom line.

"Don't intimidate me with the Egyptian gods, they are ancient, but their eyes are no longer fixed here, if it weren't for the existence of the divine power they burned in the rules of the plane, I'm afraid their traces in this plane have been completely erased." Mephisto spoke calmly, like an old man who had seen through the world, unhappy and not afraid.

But his attitude made Chen Xu incomprehensible.

"Either way, he has violated the majesty of the gods and must die." The dense scarab beetles moved, rushing towards Steve.

Steve's scalp tingled, but he didn't back down.

"Scarabs?" Mephisto sighed, and the scarab beetles that surged away immediately went into chaos.

"What's going on?" Chen Xu was taken aback, and his spiritual will penetrated into the body of each scarab beetle.

Soon, he found the root cause, and the scarab beetle was actually afraid of Mephisto.

Chen Xu was furious, "Useless things." But he took the scarab back anyway.

Mephisto is a former monarch of hell, holding power, equivalent to a god, and it is normal for the scarab beetle not to dare to go over.

"You're a priest." Mephisto looked Chen Xu up and down, "Priest of the Egyptian gods, but I feel a strong faith and a heavy curse and resentment in you. ”

"You are cursed and resented by many powerful beings."

Mephisto had sharp eyes and could see at a glance the problems in Chen Xu's body.

Chen Xu asked people to take the death sacrifice when they were sacrificing, just to transfer the resentment and curse and the distorted emotions, but no matter how it was transferred, it was impossible to transfer it cleanly, because the ultimate beneficiary was him.

One by two, very faint; Hundreds of thousands, not a big hidden danger; But tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, taken together, are enough to form a curse that can curse people to death.

This curse was suppressed by Chen Xu's power, and it was hidden, but if they found an opportunity, they would immediately explode and curse Chen Xu to death.

"You should be sacrificing yourself."

"That's right, I sacrifice myself." Chen Xu told the truth.

"Speaking of which, sacrificing oneself is also a means of our devil family, and Apep was also one of the monarchs of hell at the beginning, and held part of the power." Mephisto laughed and pulled into the relationship between the two, "Speaking of which, you should be considered my junior, and I want to give you a gift." ”

"No, I don't." Chen Xu refused, accepted the devil's gift, just kidding, who dares to accept the devil's gift, all mortals who receive the devil's gift, their souls eventually become the devil's plaything, the exception is not nothing, but very few.

"Don't compare me to the devils, Mephisto is kind and hospitable." Mephisto defended himself, but when he saw Chen Xu's disbelief, he gave up.

"Well, I know you have a deep misunderstanding of the devil, but I think you need something that can solve your hidden dangers."

"But I don't need your help." Chen Xu still refused to be thousands of miles away, and he didn't believe Mephisto's words.

Because Mephisto was deceiving, his words were basically false, and the truth was very rare.

"Do you know you're in danger right now?" Mephisto's words made Chen Xu nervous, "You are the priest of the Egyptian gods, but you sacrifice yourself, which is tantamount to betraying the Egyptian gods, and one day, when the eyes of the Egyptian gods are fixed on this plane, you will die a miserable death." ”

"And you have such a strong faith in you, many devils will target you, wanting to replace you and seize your faith."

"You need to guard against the devil from hell at all times, not only our hell in the west, but also your hell in the east, those guys, none of them are easy to mess with."

"So horrible?" Chen Xu's mind was racing quickly, "They shouldn't be able to come to this plane." ”

He also remembered that it was recorded in the Golden Sutra of the Sun that the plane did not allow the gods to stay for a long time, and since the gods couldn't, then the devil couldn't either, otherwise, this plane would become the devil's amusement park.

"Their ontology can't come to this plane, but they will come down and project, if they want to." Mephisto tried to make the devils terrifying, "They are powerful and terrifying, each with its own strange powers, and even I am afraid of them." ”

"And Mistress Mephisto, do you want to help me?" Chen Xu went straight to the heart of the matter.

"That's right." Mephisto decisively admitted, "As long as you're willing to make a deal with me, I can protect you, just like I protect this guy named Steve." ”

"What do I have to give?" Chen Xu was moved.

"All I need is your soul, and in return, I will give you great power." Mephisto was excited, he thought that Chen Xu's heart was moved, which meant that there was a gap in his heart, and as long as he could get into it, he could snatch his soul.

The thought of such a powerful soul, such a terrifying curse and resentment, and distorted emotions made him excited, and the strong faith made him even more happy.

For ordinary people, the curses and resentments and distorted emotions that are avoided are simply supreme delicacy and elixir, and the rich faith can be used to construct a virtual kingdom of God to lure the souls of believers to come, fall and decay.

"Your purpose is my soul, and what lies lie in front of you are worthy of being the devil of deception." Chen Xu scoffed.

Mephisto froze, then became angry, then furious, and a mass of inner demons emerged from the bottom of his heart and turned into a shadow.

The Yin Demon absorbs the negative energy that is dissociating from the world and grows wildly.

The Yin Demon, which was originally only the size of a bucket, swelled to the size of a room and was devoured by him.

"It's been a long time since an inner demon was born." Mephisto said lightly.

The demon that had been bred by the anger just now was swallowed by him at once, increasing his strength.

"You're right, I really want your soul, what a wonderful food your soul is to me, there is no more perfect food in this world than your soul." Mephisto said, "Well, make a deal with me, give me your soul, and I'll give you everything you want." ”

"Anything?" Chen Xu asked.

"Yes, anything." Mephisto's voice was flat.

"Please do something you can't possibly do." A sneer appeared on Chen Xu's face.

This sentence is a sentence he heard before he crossed over, and the original meaning of this sentence was to deny the Lord of Catholicism, because Catholicism preaches that his Lord is omniscient and omnipotent, so some people use this paradox to deny the Lord.

Almighty means that anything is possible, but you can do anything, there is no such thing as impossible, and if you can't do something, then it proves that you are not omnipotent, so you fall into a paradox, whether you can do it or not, you can negate yourself.

He used this paradox to deny Mephisto with the intention of satirizing him.

"Good." Mephisto laughed, "An interesting theory, next time I can use this theory to mock the madman of the Lord." ”

"Thank you for your help, and in return, I'll give you something."

Mephisto pointed his hand, and Chen Xu's mind had a lot of inexplicable knowledge.

Chen Xu was shocked, he didn't expect Mephisto to be able to invade his mind so easily.

If he had wanted to kill himself just now! Thinking of this, Chen Xu was already in a cold sweat.

"I'm looking forward to your begging for me, please remember my name, my name is Mephisto, if you are in trouble, you can choose to say this name silently in your heart, and I will come down immediately and help you, of course, in return, you must give your soul to me, this is the agreement between the two of us, and it is also our contract, under the witness of the origin of hell!"

Mephisto turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared in front of him, taking Captain America with Steve.

"What should we do now?" John, who had been afraid to speak just now, finally dared to speak.

"Go back."
