A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

second.

What Luke wanted was the small portion of the power of life and death based solely on faith that the Heavenly Dimension had left behind when it left Earth.

Even if someone wants to be angry, it's the anger of the Heavenly Dimension, not Mephisto.

The most important thing.

Lu Ke also stated his source.

He comes from Dormammu's dark dimension.

and so……

Even if Luke succeeds, and if anyone is angry, Mephisto feels he should at least be ranked third.

Dormammu, who was betrayed, and the Heavenly Dimension, which was attacked, were the most enraged.

Mephisto remained expressionless, his thoughts racing wildly.

Luke, holding Heather's hand, looked at Mephisto with a smile, waiting for his answer without urging him.

As for Heather...

who I am.

where am I.

What the hell am I doing?

Heather still looked completely bewildered. She understood the meaning of each of Luke and Mephisto's words, but when put together, she couldn't understand what they meant.

Lu Ke sighed inwardly, feeling that this time, destiny truly was on his side.

There is no other reason.

Luke's initial plan was simply to use the Sanvanganza Contract to lure the Witchheart Demon over, and then confront it head-on.

But Heather's background forced him to urgently revise his plans.

after all……

The San Venganza Contract alone was not enough to give them any leverage in negotiating with Mephisto.

But after Heather came along, things were completely different.

Heather is not only a descendant of demons, but also a descendant of angels, which gives Luke leverage in negotiations.

Luke now understands why, back then, among the descendants of the angels, only Heather remained after the descendants of the demon Sawyer were gone.

This is also because Heather also has the identity of an angelic descendant. Once Heather dies, or if Heather returns to the demons' camp, the demons will still have ways to use Heather's identity as an angelic descendant to manipulate the authority left over from the Heavenly Dimension.

Only if Heather is alive and under their watchful eyes can they guarantee that none of this will happen.

but……

Plans can never keep up with changes.

After the group of angel bloodlines reached an agreement with the Witchheart Demon, they originally intended to use Heather to obtain a permit to Silent Hill, but they never expected that they would end up handing Heather over to Luke instead.

Did I have the protagonist's script from beginning to end?

Lu Ke couldn't help but think to himself.

next second.

Lu Ke shook out the thought that was in his mind.

Again.

There are three great illusions in life, the biggest of which is thinking that you are the protagonist.

I was never the protagonist; I was just an ordinary, seasoned reincarnator who wanted to retire.

Lu Ke reaffirmed his conviction once again.

at this time.

Mephisto snapped out of his reverie and looked at Luke: "Even if you stole the authority of Heaven, it is still my authority. What right do you have...?"

Luke interrupted directly: "I am willing to return this power to Hell after I have succeeded in seizing it."

Upon hearing this, Mephisto fell silent once again.

"what?"

“You heard me right, and I didn’t say anything wrong.”

Luke said with a smile, "I am willing to return this authority to the Hell dimension after the matter is accomplished."

Mephisto narrowed his eyes as he looked at Luke.

"You would do that?"

"of course."

Luke nodded and looked at Mephisto without hesitation: "Even if I succeed, I still won't be able to face the enraged Dark Dimension and Heaven Dimension."

Mephisto laughed.

This is true.

There's only one outcome for a child who carries gold in the marketplace: they'll be completely exploited.

Over the years, there have been new dimensional worlds, but once these new dimensional worlds are exposed, they are all devoured and wiped out by the ancient dimensional worlds in the first instance, leaving not even a trace.

and so……

Newly created dimensional worlds, upon reaching this point, will immediately seek out an ancient dimensional world, pledge allegiance, and receive the protection of that ancient dimensional world.

Of course.

As a price, the newly born Dimension Lord could only be reduced to a member of the ancient Dimension World, and even his life and death were controlled by the ancient Dimension Lord.

only?

Mephisto frowned as he looked at Luke: "So, you did all this, seizing the power of Heaven and offering it to me, and not only that, you also offered your life and death to me?"

What are you after?

Is it Figure 160?

Wait a moment.

Got involved.

Mephisto shook his head, looking at Luke with some confusion. Even he felt he couldn't quite keep up with Luke's thought process.

after all……

In Mephisto's view, this matter was entirely detrimental to Luke.

Luke, however, smiled brightly and looked at Mephisto in a perfectly normal tone: "Lord of Hell, if I had said from the beginning that I wanted to be with you, would you have risked war with Dormammu to protect me?"

Mephisto thought for a moment, then shook his head honestly: "No."

He is indeed a veteran dimensional master.

But Dormammu isn't bad either.

Dormammu was even more ruthless, after all, he was an outsider who managed to become the ruler of the Dark Dimension.

and so……

Unless absolutely necessary, even Mephisto wouldn't want to have a conflict of interest with such a ruthless person.

Luke smiled as he listened to Mephisto's reply and spread his hands.

"That's it."

"But I don't want you."

"Ok?"

Luke raised an eyebrow and looked at Mephisto.

Mephisto said in a low voice, "Your offer is very tempting, but I am not willing to let you become a member of my dimension."

Lu Ke blinked but didn't say anything.

Mephisto rejected the offer for a simple reason.

Luke wanted to bring his own investment to the project, which was indeed very tempting for Mephisto, because it would give him complete control over the life and death of the Earth.

but……

Bringing your own investment to a production team comes at a price.

And the price for this is the authority of the Hell dimension itself.

This touched Mephisto's safety line.

even……

Mephisto looked at Luke, who was blinking and seemed harmless, and began to feel wary.

He strongly suspected that Lu Ke's entire plan, from the very beginning, was to confuse him and then, through this maneuver, make him agree to Lu Ke bringing his own funding into the group so that he could gain control of Hell. Afterward, he would collude with Lu Ke's relatives in Hell Dimension to launch a rebellion against him from within.

Mephisto is an old dimensional ruler who has seen all kinds of storms.

A strong fortress, impregnable as a rock, is most vulnerable not to external attacks, but to internal betrayals.

After all, that's how Mephisto came to power back then.

and so……

This is something we must be wary of.

Again.

Heather is not only a descendant of angels, but also a descendant of demons.

Moreover, her bloodline ancestor, the demon Sawyer, was right next to him, standing there like a complete idiot, motionless, as if he knew nothing at all.

But does he really know nothing?

This demon, Sawyer.

If he hadn't happened to be here this time and hadn't seen someone summoning the demon Sawyer, he probably wouldn't have known that the demon Sawyer still had a way of projecting onto Earth.
