A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

Dormammu?

"Yes."

Without even blinking, Lu Ke blurted out, "I come from the Dark Dimension, the Great Lord of Hell."

To be honest, it depends on the situation.

His relationship with Hela is not yet ready to be exposed.

Even though he is no longer afraid of Odin knowing everything, this is a war, and it is best to keep your trump cards hidden until the very end.

but……

Mephisto recovered from his initial daze, his gloomy eyes fixed on Luke, who was smiling broadly and claimed to come from the Dark Dimension.

"No, you are not."

"Oh."

Luke remained completely calm, smiling as he looked at Mephisto: "Lord of Hell, you don't believe I come from the Dark Dimension?"

Mephisto chuckled, "I know Dormammu better than most dimensions. In his world, he wouldn't allow someone like you to threaten his rule."

Each dimensional ruler has their own art of governance.

There are a thousand dimensional lords, each with their own art of ruling, but their rule has one thing in common.

That is, they will not allow any creature that threatens them to grow to the point of threatening their rule under their very noses.

Lu Ke's powerful soul is undeniable.

and so!

"Who is the lord behind you?"

Dormammu.

Luke did not change his stance because of this. After reiterating that he came from the Dark Dimension, he changed the subject and looked at Mephisto: "Precisely because I come from the Dark Dimension, I want to discuss a cooperation with the lord of Hell."

Mephisto looked at the smile on Luke's face, his thoughts racing, as if he had thought of something.

"You want to start your own business?"

"Yes."

Luke smiled and nodded: "Just as you just said, Dormammu will not let me continue to grow in the Dark Dimension, but life always finds a way out at the right time. As it happens, I know that the Lord of Hell has recently encountered some troubles."

Mephisto remained expressionless.

"I do not have……"

"The Demon of the Witch's Heart".

Luke had no intention of beating around the bush with Mephisto, so he interrupted directly and said with a smile, "The San Vanganza Contract is with me."

Mephisto's expression froze again, his eyes instantly turning as sharp as an eagle's as he stared directly at Luke.

Luke remained unfazed by Mephisto's murderous gaze and calmly met his eyes.

“We can talk about the ruler of hell.”

"..."

Mephisto stared at Luke expressionlessly for a while before lowering his sharp gaze and shifting it to Heather beside Luke: "She is your bloodline who mates with an angel, Sawyer?"

The demon Sawyer, who had come up with Old Mo but hadn't uttered a sound from the beginning, looked at Heather and nodded, saying, "Yes, big brother."

The twelve dukes of Hell and Mephisto both originated from the source of Hell, so from this perspective, it is reasonable for the demon Sawyer to call Mephisto "big brother".

Under the watchful eyes of Mephisto and the demon Sawyer, Heather couldn't help but swallow hard, gripping Luke's right hand tightly and shrinking back behind him in fear.

Luke squeezed Heather's hand in response.

Mephisto then turned his gaze back to Luke.

"You say you come from the Dark Dimension, where's the proof?"

"of course."

Lu Ke showed no sign of panic. The moment he opened his left hand, a dark aura condensed in his palm.

Well known.

Darkness is always accompanied by death.

Where there is death, there is darkness.

and so……

It was a simple matter for Luke to use the aura of Hell's Underworld to disguise the aura of darkness.

Not to mention that he even used his own soul as a disguise, making it so convincing that it could easily pass for the real thing.

The most important thing.

The current Mephisto is not from his true form, but rather, like the demon Sawyer, he was projected through a six-pointed star magic circle.

In a word.

Luke was betting that Mephisto couldn't see through the true nature of the dark aura in Luke's hand.

soon.

After demonstrating for less than two seconds, Luke promptly withdrew the dark aura from his hand and looked at Mephisto: "Can we talk about cooperation?"

He has made it clear that he intends to break away from the Dark Dimension and establish his own independent entity.

and so……

To avoid Dormammu's attention, it's perfectly reasonable to stop using the power of the Dark Dimension in time.

Mephisto did not speak immediately. Instead, after Luke withdrew his dark aura, he stared at Luke for a few more seconds before speaking again.

His words immediately revealed Lu Ke's thoughts.

Mephisto's gaze swept over Luke and Heather, finally settling on their tightly clasped hands: "What makes you think that by not allowing my son, the Witchheart Demon, to establish his own power, I would agree to you stealing the authority of my Hell?"

The San Van González Pact.

Descendants of angels.

no doubt.

To Mephisto, what Luke wanted to say and what maneuver he wanted to make was as easy as trying to see a firefly in the dark.

With these two things, Luke, except for lacking the Netherworld, the core of the Death World, is almost as qualified as Wu Xinmo to create his own Hell.

but……

“Tell me,” Mephisto said thoughtfully, even with a hint of amusement, “why did I agree to let you steal the power that belongs to me?”

Luke smiled broadly: "Because I am an outsider, the Lord of Hell."

Mephisto remained expressionless.

Luke smiled, glanced at Heather beside him, and continued to Mephisto: "Most importantly, what I stole was never the power of Hell, but the power of Heaven."

Yes.

Mephisto never had complete control over the life and death of any living being on Earth.

If he had truly taken control, none of this would have happened.

The Heavenly Dimension still retains a portion of the authority over life and death.

All Luke needed to do was steal the portion of authority left behind by the Heavenly Dimension when it left Earth.

By connecting with this part of the authority and penetrating into the life and death of the Earth, Hell can then connect with the Earth. Once the entrance and exit are found, Hell can break through Odin's blockade and descend again.

And he is currently at the lowest level of the Underworld of Haier, where the 'Underworld Robe - Underworld King' being forged by the Underworld Fire, as well as the power of the microcosm projected above the Underworld of Haier, can descend through this entrance.

Of course.

Mephisto didn't need to know these things.

At the very least, Mephisto doesn't need to know right now.

All he needed to know was that, compared to the Witchheart Demon who would pose a threat to him after establishing his own faction, Lu Ke was the most harmless one.

because……

Luke doesn't have authority over the Hell dimension. Even if Luke stole authority over the Heaven dimension, theoretically, he wouldn't be able to challenge Mephisto's rule in any way.

In a word.

He doesn't even own a single share in the Hell dimension.

What can be used to impeach Mephisto, the current major shareholder and executive chairman of Hell?

Not to mention the need to abolish Mephisto.

……

Chapter 476 Mephisto, very wary

Mephisto has been the ruler of the dimensions for many years.

Throughout his long lifespan, he has undoubtedly witnessed countless dimensions, where the lords of dimensions have changed in rapid succession due to the struggle for power.

and so……

Mephisto valued his authority more than anything else.

This can be seen from the fact that after his struggle with the Heavenly Dimension, he released the twelve stallions of Hell into captivity by giving them a cup of wine.

No one can touch Mephisto's power.

Mephisto will ruthlessly destroy anything that dares to lay a finger on him, no matter who it is.

Even if it was his son who tried to seize power.

But Luke is different.

the first.

Luke is not a being from the Hell dimension, he has no authority over the Hell dimension, and he has no soil space to overthrow Mephisto's rule from within.
