Chapter 144 The All-in-One Service of a Honey Trap...
"Great Mephisto, I summon you here, I beg you for power."
In the countless fragmented dimensions of hell, a horned demon with nothing better to do heard such a prayer and suddenly became interested.
He glanced at it and found it to be a summoner from a remote universe. After casually throwing some power at it to deal with it, he went back to his own business.
Just kidding. As a top-tier demon whose true form is a multiverse, how could he possibly waste his time in these desolate universes that don't even have numbers?
He focuses most of his energy on the main universe (Earth-616), playing "hide-and-seek" with some superheroes.
Sending a few clones to these remote universes to "do work" is already considered a lenient gesture to maintain operations.
After all, in countless universes, his name has long been a symbol associated with demons, contracts, and desires. He has to appear from time to time to make his presence known.
But this time, it seems a little different.
Mephisto, who was just considering whether to join the annual "Master of Crime" event, felt that his "inventory" seemed to be a little low.
Moreover, as he scanned the boundless world of sulfurous hell, he could sense that the number of his clones was rapidly decreasing at a visible rate.
What the hell?
According to the normal process of a demonic transaction, shouldn't it be: you summon a demon, the demon appears, fulfills your wish in a completely unimaginable way, and then takes away your soul?
This is the normal procedure.
Why does he feel that every demon clone he sends out disappears as soon as it arrives at the summoning location?
There was no feedback whatsoever, and much of the original power was lost.
Although such a loss is just a drop in the ocean for a top-tier demon like him, it is not a reason for him to accept it—why should someone always be taking advantage of him?
Damn it, having one Gu Yi fleecing him is already annoying enough, and now you have to add another one?
……
And someone in that zombie universe.
"Weak human, I have heard your plea. I can grant your wish, but... what the hell? What are you doing?!"
Another demonic clone, triggered by his will, has "taken the bait."
Hanlu slapped him across the face.
The four fundamental forces in the material realm bind the demon firmly in place, and with the surge of the "binding" power, all of its resistance and struggle are reduced to nothingness.
As he placed his hand directly above the other's head, which was covered in strange horns, a gentle white light instantly engulfed it. Accompanied by his accelerated local time flow, the light rapidly transformed and compressed the demonic clone into a stream of light, merging it into the still-unstable imaginary dimension within his body.
"Very good, next. Let me see... Who's next? The 72 Demon Gods... Morax, Barbatos... This one, this one."
Although she had never played far, Hanlu had long heard of the famous demon summoning list she had personally "brushed" out.
Okay, the 72 Demon Gods have been referenced many times before, but when I think of those handsome and beautiful humanoid men and women in a certain game, and then look at the ugly monsters in front of me now, it's just too much.
That's a huge difference.
He has successfully "borrowed" 227 demons.
When encountering a weak opponent, simply slap them to death, then absorb all their power and stuff it into your own imaginary space to stabilize and fill that illusory world.
If he encounters a slightly more powerful demon clone with some background, he will consider the situation carefully; sometimes he might simply kick it away.
Whatever, I'm too lazy to argue.
Just kidding, as the "physical God" of this universe (the zombie universe), with the added power of physical rules, he is simply the supreme ruler of the material realm!
Science Made Real!
Spatial manipulation!
Electromagnetic force!
Ideal fluid!
gravity!
Cellular mimicry!
Molecular acceleration!
Entropy increases or decreases!
Emotional manipulation!
Domination and control!
Energy confinement!
Parasitic erosion!
He controls these 12 powers that are almost equivalent to the pinnacle of the laws of physics!
He dealt with even the Uranus afterimage, which was at the level of a single universe, so why would he be afraid of these clones, most of which were only at the level of the Heavenly Father or even weaker?
In the current Marvel framework, the multiverse level is already the world's top power, and most of the top beings are in the main universe (Earth-616) playing "house" with those more valuable targets. How could they possibly come to this desolate zombie universe?
Therefore, what was originally a "transaction" process for the demons became a completely different matter for Hanlu: she summoned the demon, met him, slapped him to death, and "absorbed" him.
Having already dealt with a whole host of demons, Hanlu initially thought this "honey trap" was a bit too much—
Even though the other party is a demon, how could a young man with (self-perceived) good moral character do such a shameless thing?
Even though the other party is a demon, how could a young man with (self-perceived) good moral character do such a shameless thing?
However, upon seeing those bizarrely shaped demons, exuding an aura of sulfur and malice, their forms forcibly projected through a contract...
Oh, that's okay.
Damn it, someone who looks so disgusting comes out to scare people. He should just die first.
Soon, these cold demonic energies transformed into warm "dimensional fragments" to fill their imaginary space.
That's awesome, isn't it?
Furthermore, he could sense that the imaginary space within his body had gradually stabilized, at least beginning to form its own independent entity, with some remnants of demonic characteristics mixed within it.
Watching the entire process of the all-inclusive service unfold before him, he suddenly thought of the Dark Doctor Strange from a certain "What If..." series. The Doctor seemed to have done something similar, only he went even further, swallowing the whole thing whole...
It's too bloody.
Unlike him, he first kills and purifies the "person," then transforms it into pure energy and stores it away.
Clean! Elegant! Hygienic!
Of course, none of that matters.
"Foolish mortal, do you know you are blaspheming—"
"I have no idea."
"You lowly magician, what are you doing?!"
"I want .
"Noble cosmic deities, please spare me..."
As she was taking pictures, Hanlu sensed something was off.
Looking at this little devil who immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, looking at his malnourished appearance and how his strength was probably not even as good as a superhuman from his own universe...
No, you're so incompetent, how dare you keep going out to do sales?
Let's kill them all together.
Just kidding, him! Cold Dew! A monster-slaying machine! He has no feelings.
As she continued patting, Hanlu started calling out the name of the next demon again, like reciting a menu. This time, she found that no one (the demon) dared to show up.
Not a single one dared to come?
Something's not right, what's going on?
What about people?
"Oh, great being, only—"
Before he could even begin constructing his summoning link, he discovered that his "communication request" had been unilaterally cut off by the opposing team.
What the hell?
The Cold Dew season is confusing.
He didn't call out that many, only about 1000.
Are these demons really that cowardly?
Shouldn't a few powerful entities come and cause trouble?
Oh, no...
He summoned mostly single-universe-level clones; even if the original entity came, it might not be able to defeat him in this universe.
Clearly, Hanlu's shameless and efficient "slaughtering" has begun to anger the demons from the hell dimension.
Several demons of the Heavenly Father level, who were somewhat renowned in the underworld, had just shown up to cause trouble when their entire clones, along with a sliver of their original bodies, were slapped to death and looted by the demons. After that, no demon dared to show its face again.
Damn it, this guy is practically a living devil!
Even the Ancient One didn't bully people like this! At most, the Heavenly Father would just call a few lesser demons to negotiate, but you're going to "list the dishes"? And with instant kills too?
The Cold Dew season is very uncomfortable.
After repeatedly calling out the names of several more demons, only to be unilaterally "rejected," he felt his "morality" was severely condemned.
What happened to the promise of always granting requests? What happened to the devil's professional ethics?
"Fine, I'll say it again. Mephisto, I am your most loyal—"
"Enough!! You foolish mortal, how dare you blaspheme a cosmic demon like this?! Don't you know how many times you've called my name?!"
The moment that enormous being, reeking of sulfur and engulfed in hellfire, violently pulled back the curtain and burst forth from the void, Hanlu was completely stunned by its roar.
Uh... did I shout a lot?
He looked back at his previous timeline records... Oh, there were quite a lot.
Because some of the demon clones were too small, he summoned several of Mephisto's clones, about seven or eight in total, and swallowed them all.
no……
Hanlu stared at the single-universe-level demon before her, whose power was comparable to her own, and swallowed hard, not understanding why.
The look in his eyes, like a hungry wolf seeing a sheep or a scientist seeing a rare specimen, truly sent chills down Mephisto's spine as he tried to reprimand the scoundrel in front of him.
Your gaze... is a little dangerous, kid.
