The mechanical craze in Marvel

They already had a certain inclination towards this proposal, and now it's because Strange is the person among them who has the deepest research on the mortal realm, and the contract above the soul is obviously part of that.

Now that Stevens has addressed these issues, it means the likelihood of success is very high, and in this situation, they naturally don't mind resolving the problem. However, despite the potential for future trouble, Hulanlock's eyes remained unmoved, even displaying a hint of mockery as he looked at Mephisto.

He's thinking about it.

Would a demon like Mephisto submit so easily? Although they seem to have control over Mephisto's fate, they haven't actually entered Earth yet. In other words, Mephisto hasn't reached the point where he needs to be accepted. He hasn't yet reached a certain level of danger.

But now that Mephisto has agreed so readily, he has serious doubts about whether Mephisto's so-called soul contract can be of sufficient importance. Most importantly, Mephisto knows very well that Mephisto is the expert on soul contracts, while Tynolanlock's understanding of soul contracts is limited to the fact that the words "soul contract" exist in the market, and he has no other knowledge about them.

Even Stephen Strange, who had a relatively better understanding of soul contracts, was clearly no match for Mephisto. In his view, if Mephisto wanted to create some problems, not only would he, but even Stephen Strange, would probably have a hard time finding them.

So, although Nolan Locke didn't know what Mephisto was planning, his eyes showed a deep distrust of Mephisto; he didn't believe in him at all.

Morpheus Grey must be preparing something now.

However, Mephisto relied on the information gap between the two sides, so they couldn't see what Mephisto had prepared. But no matter what Mephisto did, for Nolan Locke, he only needed to grasp one principle: he would never agree to whatever Mephisto wanted to do.

Anyway, he had already made all the preparations. No matter what tricks Morpheus wanted to play, he believed in the principle that whatever Morpheus did was meaningless. However, Nolan Locke did not speak directly. He wanted to know what Morpheus was thinking.

Moreover, he did indeed need to resolve the problems he was currently facing. Continuing down this path would be extremely dangerous for him, as their troubles were far from over, and further delays might not be beneficial. Therefore, if Mephisto's contract was indeed without problems, at least without any harsh conditions that would bind them, then it was entirely worth trying. So, Nolan Locke took a sip and then spoke to Mephisto:

“Tell me the contract you intend to draft. If there are no problems, I can sign the contract with you.”

Upon hearing Nolan Locke's words, Morpheus's face even showed surprise. He had thought that Nolan Locke would absolutely not agree, and he hadn't even considered that many people would come to sign the contract. For him, he hoped that all the other people signing the contract would sign their names.

Moreover, for him, signing a contract doesn't necessarily mean signing it personally. If his name appears on it and through some means, it can be incorporated into the contract and enter the signing process. However, no one can discover this, so he has made the necessary preparations. But now that Locke has said this, he is a little unsure. Otherwise, does Locke already have some special information?

However, he didn't have any other solutions at the moment. After all, if he couldn't gain Nolan Locke's trust, things would be very difficult. If he could gain Nolan Locke's trust and sign a contract directly, that would be the best thing for him. If Nolan Locke signed the contract, then everything would be under his control. Morpheus was so pleased with himself that he could hardly help but smile.

However, he was still an old, missing man who had made countless preparations for this, so no one else was involved. But Duran Lugo still noticed something strange in his calm eyes. Mephisto was far too calm now. In his view, Mephisto had reached a dead end, and the fact that he could maintain such composure on this desperate situation meant that he must have some other plan.

This was not a good opportunity for him. If he hadn't spoken, but had simply told Morpheus more about the company, Morpheus wouldn't have hesitated at all. He glanced at Monolan Locke, then looked at the others, and recited all the contents of the contract he had carefully prepared. Monolan Locke and the others listened quietly. Locke, whose contract was quite long, even suspected that Morpheus was deliberately stalling for time.

Because if time is delayed, it is possible that beings from other dimensions will appear here. If beings from other dimensions appear here, that would certainly not be a good thing for them; it would be an extremely dangerous situation. However, what Mephisto said was indeed very detailed, and even everyone was mentioned.

Moreover, the contents of the Qin contract were not unreasonable, except for some parts that raised some questions. After listening, Nolan Locke looked at Stephen Strange beside him. Although Nolan Locke didn't believe Morpheus at all, Stephen Strange was the one among them who understood the contract the most. If there were any questions, Stephen Strange was actually the one most likely to find the answers. However, Stephen Strange looked at Nolan Locke, then glanced at Morpheus, and then said:

"There's nothing wrong with this contract. In fact, it sounds like it's far too advantageous for us. I find it hard to believe that Mephistopheles would make such a contract. But now that his life is in our hands, I think there's still a possibility."

Upon hearing this, Mephistopheles quickly spoke up, saying, "My life is already in your hands, especially Nolan Locke. He clearly doesn't believe anything I say. What good will it do me to drag this out any longer? It's better to resolve this issue as soon as possible so I can leave."

So I had absolutely no other intentions, and you'd better not misunderstand that. If you have any other questions, you can speak freely, but I hope there won't be any further trouble. If things continue like this, and other dimensional lords also appear here, it won't be good for either of us. After all, if other dimensions appear here, you might try to kill me to silence me, which wouldn't benefit me at all. If I die, even if other dimensional lords can kill you, it won't mean anything to me.”

Morpheus spoke with great sincerity and even seemed quite solemn, but in truth, he harbored some regret. He had perfected the contract's terms. This caused a hint of doubt to appear in Moranmok's eyes. Even Stephen Stromb and Qi were somewhat skeptical, but thankfully, they needed Yuan Hua to resolve the matter, and they trusted Morpheus. Baralock and the others would absolutely not be able to see any problems with the upgrades.

Since that's the case, it's a very simple matter for him. Next, he just needs to wait for everyone to sign the contract and put their names on it, and then he can complete the contract. But that's not even necessary. He only needs Nolan Locke to nod, and then he can bring everyone under the contract's umbrella. Once the contract is complete, everyone's lives will be in his hands.

Stephen Strange nodded, then began to speak:

"In that case, then we shall..."

"and many more."

Ulalok suddenly interrupted Stephen Strange, then looked at Morpheus, and finally glanced at everyone before speaking:

"What Stephen Strange said is indeed correct, but it's too correct. I don't believe he would be so honest. So now I suspect he might have done something else. Although the contract does sound correct, if it were truly correct, Mephisto wouldn't be Mephisto."

"What kind of nonsense is this?"

Mo Fei found these words rather strange; he never expected Nolan Locke to use such a method. By preventing Stephen Strange from agreeing to the next move, the contract would take effect, and he would immediately be able to control that person's fate and turn the tide of the battle.

For him, this was something that seemed almost within reach, but now everything in Nolan Locke Suzhou had shattered almost all his hopes. Moreover, judging from the words of Mo Fei and the others, they had also been influenced by Nolan Locke when it came to being ruthless. Getting everyone to sign the contract would not be so easy now.

However, Nolan Locke didn't care about his thoughts. To Nolan Locke, he didn't care how deep Stephen Strange's understanding of magic was. He only knew that no matter what solution Mephisto had, as long as he didn't sign an agreement with Mephisto, that would be the best outcome. If he signed an agreement with Mephisto, he might fall into the control of this hellish soul monster, which was absolutely unacceptable to him.

"Since you don't want to travel a thousand miles, then kill me! Killing me will solve everything!"

Morpheus spoke in exasperation, but the more he spoke, the more nervous he became. He knew very well what kind of person Mephisto was and he couldn't believe that Mephisto would do such a thing.

He didn't believe that Mephisto would be controlled by anger and say such things, so he was very clear that Mephisto must have been influenced by something to say such things.

In that case, Nolan Locke looked at Mephisto, a cold glint in his eyes:

"It just so happens that I don't really trust you either, so I'll grant your wish."

Chapter 411

Mephisto's men were stunned by Nolan Locke's words. They never expected Nolan Locke to be so decisive. They had only had a slight disagreement, yet Nolan Locke was already planning to kill them.

Fortunately, other people intervened.

Stephen Strange quickly stepped forward, even standing in front of Mephisto. Mephisto was now under their control and unable to exert any power, so his actions were understandable. However, looking at Stephen, Strange's eyes became increasingly calm. He hadn't wanted to take Mephisto away in the first place, as the matter was far too dangerous.

If Mephisto had been willing to sign a contract when they had just entered the lower dimension and been defeated, Nolan Locke might have already signed a contract with him to see if it was worthwhile. But now that Mephisto is almost in a desperate situation, he has only come up with this method.

While this is perfectly normal, Morpheus's actions were highly unusual to Nolan Locke, because he knew Morpheus's character very well. Morpheus was an extremely mediocre being, but he possessed the power of a top-tier dimensional lord and was adept at manipulating people's hearts.

Therefore, Nolan Locke felt that all his thoughts at this moment had been judged by Mephisto. It was precisely because of this that Mephisto made such a decision to sign the relevant agreement with them to go to the hospital. Nolan Locke no longer believed anything that Mephisto had done. So for Nolan Locke, what he wanted to do most now was to deal with Mephisto first, and then take the others into the real dimension. As long as they entered the real dimension...

No matter how many troubles exist in these dimensions, they are no longer a major problem for them. Although many powerful dimensional lords may still covet Earth, the loss of two major dimensional lords has significantly reduced the dimensional crisis facing Earth.

Under normal circumstances, dimensions like the current one are simply impossible for these dimensional lords to breach, which is more than enough for him. Unlike Mephisto, who was the vanguard in the conquest of Earth. The two of them were the most proactive in conquering Earth, which is why they frequently contacted and even increased their influence with Earth. While some other dimensional lords also wanted to enter Earth, they were not as eager as the two of them.

Regardless of the reason, as long as both of them die here, other powerful dimensional lords, even those with strength no weaker than them, or even stronger, will likely back down in the face of the Earth forces that have killed two dimensional lords.

This is more than enough for Earth; no other method is needed. However, for Mephisto, this is clearly not a good outcome. But Nolan Locke obviously didn't intend to consider Mephisto's opinion. He looked at Stephen Strange and then spoke to him:

"I know that you all want what's best for me and hope that I can find a solution, but you should also know that Murphy is a great man. It's hard to believe that he would say something like this at this time. So I think there must be something hidden behind it. Perhaps in your eyes, if I don't solve it through it..."

Then there is a very high chance of death, but I am very clear that even without going through it, I have enough ways to solve the problem. Under such circumstances, there is no need for us to take such a risk. Although it will be troublesome to solve the curse without going through it, it is not something that should make people despair. At most, it will just take some time to deal with.

But if we sign a contract with him, the dangers will be unpredictable. I even suspect that Mephisto might have some means to circumvent or even break the contract, thus turning against us.

As Nolan Locke said this, a cold look appeared on Mephisto's face.

Now, what Morpheus said revealed all of his thoughts. He never expected that Nolan Locke would guess so accurately. He had a way to deal with this initiative, and this move could not do anything to him, which is why he was not afraid at all.

But he never imagined that Nolan Locke could guess these things, and even come up with these numbers. If Nolan Locke's words were met with agreement now, then he would be in trouble. Fortunately, although Fensterrange showed some hesitation on his face, after a brief moment of hesitation, he still spoke to Nolan Locke:

"Such a curse is extremely rare even in the history of magic. I find it hard to believe that you have any other way to solve this problem. I think you just want to keep the crisis to yourself. But I'm sorry, now that we've come this far and done so much."

After such a long and complicated development, if you want to go and die, I will absolutely not agree to it. At least I will not let you die before I die. So no matter what methods Morpheus has or what dangers he may pose, we are forced to agree to this contract. At least I believe that Morpheus may be a corporation that directly manipulates us.

"If that's the case, no matter what methods Mephisto uses, at worst we'll just fail and Mephisto will escape. I think we can completely accept that outcome. But if you don't survive, that would be an extremely huge loss for us, and that's something we can't accept."

Stephen Strange's words were very serious, and he also subtly touched upon Mephisto's own words.

This left Mephisto feeling helpless once again. He said that what he was thinking had once again been figured out by Stephen Strange. The way the two of them were doing this terrified him. He simply couldn't understand how the two of them could guess what he was thinking so clearly. Fortunately, everyone else thought the same thing as Stephen Strange.

Now all they're thinking about is getting his contract signed first, and then resolving the issue. Once the contract is signed, he'll have completed all his tasks, and no one can stop him from doing anything through the contract. At that point, he might be able to break into Earth.

Once it enters Earth, the entire planet will become its backyard. At that time, it will be able to achieve all its desired goals. Other dimensional lords will be isolated by its intervention. Once inside the dimension, the entire real dimension will be under its sole control. This is a wonderful thing that it has never imagined.

But these wonderful things are already happening before his eyes, and they are about to happen. Once this happens, he will be the king of dimensions among countless dimensions. Even if he isn't now, with so many powerful beings at his disposal, he believes he is fully capable of achieving this goal.

Despite everyone's defense, Nolan Locke's eyes remained unchanged. He had made his decision: it was better for Morpheus to die. Although he also hoped to obtain it and find a solution, he was absolutely unwilling to take any risks. So he looked at Heda and Wanda, knowing very well what was going on.

He could persuade others, but these two women were completely persuasive to him. Once he could convince them, the others would inevitably accept his outcome. Moreover, their strategic objective had already been achieved. Dormammu was already dead, and with Mephisto in front of them, killing him would make this strategic expedition a perfect success, and they wouldn't need any other victories.

"You should know me very well. Although I sometimes tell lies, I would never lie about this matter. I do have a way to break the curse, but breaking the curse requires some other means. Do you remember that I leave this world for a period of time every now and then?"

That's because I've entered other universes. You should know about the theory of parallel universes. The theory is that parallel universes will develop differently, and these things will have different outcomes. And now I've been able to enter these parallel universes through some special means. This is an extremely rare and perfect event.

As he spoke, Nolan Locke looked at Stephen Strange standing to the side.

Stephen Strange's face was filled with shock. He never imagined that Nolan Locke's disappearance for a period of time was because he had entered another parallel universe. Although he had some understanding of parallel universes, he had only guessed some possibilities from the Ancient One's functional mutation.

However, there was no way to prove that parallel universes actually existed. Tony Stark and his team also used their physical methods to observe the possibility of parallel universes existing, but just like Stephen Strange, all of this was only a possibility. There was no definite way to realize it. For them, this result was unacceptable. They never expected that Nolan Locke would actually be able to enter a parallel universe.

This is indeed a very strange thing. Since Locke can enter other universes, it means that Nolan Locke might obtain something else from them. If he can obtain these things, they could indeed be of some help to Nolan Locke, although they don't know the extent of this help.

Then he said to Stephen Strange:

"In fact, it was the Ancient One who did this. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to enter the average week. At least for a long time, I wouldn't have been able to enter the average week. Do you remember the battle when the dark elves invaded Earth? In that incident, I suddenly disappeared at the end of the battle because the Code gave me something before. That thing allowed me to travel to another world through a parallel universe."

That magical world was wonderful. I gained some things there and lost some things. But no matter what, my experience in the parallel universe is an extremely valuable asset. And now I can still enter the average universe. After entering the average universe, I can still enter this one.

I can resolve some curses using the methods there. Although these curses are indeed quite troublesome, I'm quite certain I could resolve this in a parallel universe. So, this curse isn't a fatal threat to me. The only problem is that it takes some time, but I know very well that time isn't that precious to us.

Nolan Locke spoke of this with remarkable nonchalance, but Morpheus's expression changed drastically. He never expected Nolan Locke to propose resolving the matter within the average universe; to him, it was utterly impossible. Yet now, Nolan Locke spoke with unwavering conviction, and it seemed others were beginning to believe him.

This was naturally an extremely desperate situation for him. As for Stephen Strange and Tony Stein, after hearing Nolan Locke's statement, although they were still somewhat hesitant, they did believe that Nolan Locke might indeed have other means. After all, although they all had the concept of parallel universes, they had no specific understanding of the situation itself and had no idea what would happen in a parallel universe. Perhaps Nolan Locke did have some special means in other parallel universes that could break this curse.

And Nolan Locke is right. Although Nolan Locke does sometimes lie, he has never lied in these particular areas.

Nolan Locke's lies were limited to minor matters, and even Tony Stark, who often bickered with Nolan Locke, did admit to them.

Now that Nolan Locke says this is no small matter, he can completely trust that Nolan Locke is not lying to them about this. In other words, Nolan Locke might actually be able to get some solutions from the training, which would be perfect for them.

Perhaps they really could give up this burden.

……

Chapter 412

Although Nolan Locke said so, and they did have this idea in mind, it was not among their first choices. If possible, they still hoped to get a sufficient solution from Mephisto. However, it seemed that Mephisto would not easily give an answer without signing a contract.

Moreover, even if he gives some answers, they are unlikely to believe them. However, if a contract is signed, as we discussed in our lesson, it is difficult for people to believe that there is any power involved. If there is any trickery involved, it would undoubtedly be a catastrophe for them.

As many people have said, although they understand the existence of contracts, especially Gillin Strange, who is very knowledgeable about contracts and knows that soul contracts are absolutely impossible to break, even 100 of them would not be a match for Mephisto when it comes to manipulating souls and contracts.

Under such circumstances, if they insisted on making a pact with Mephisto, they would undoubtedly be taking these risks. Seeing the different expressions on everyone's faces, Mephisto's expression also turned ugly, and his mind was filled with tension. He never expected that Nolan Locke would be so eager to kill him.

Even though he was certain that a contract could be signed, he showed no intention of doing so and even wanted to kill him outright. It was incomprehensible why Nolan Locke was so determined to kill him; it offered him no benefit whatsoever. Firstly, he didn't believe Nolan Locke could truly break the curse.

In his view, all the methods Nolan Locke mentioned were illusions, merely meant to deceive people. However, while they could solve the curse problem, they would inevitably pay a heavy price. Under such circumstances, wouldn't signing a contract with him be the best solution? After all, if they signed a contract with him, the curse problem would definitely be solved.

Moreover, signing a soul contract is the safest solution recognized across many dimensions. After all, once a divorce contract is signed, no one can disobey it. He didn't understand why Nolan Locke was so adamant, but he had no other choice now. He could only take his contract back, sign his name decisively, and then say:

"I have already signed this contract. As long as any one of you signs this contract, it will take effect immediately. I believe you have seen the contract I wrote before. The contents are very simple. As long as you guarantee to release me after signing the contract, I will tell you the solution to the curse."

At that time, all you need to do is release me, and that will be enough. We can live and let live in peace, and I can guarantee that I will never invade Earth again. This is definitely the best way for us. If we don't do this, everyone will die if something goes wrong, although I will certainly die.

However, if other dimensional territories appear here, then your survival will definitely not be an easy task. Rather than that, it's better to sign a contract first. I don't need everyone to sign; just one person's signature is sufficient.

Morpheus had given up on the possibility of getting others to sign the contract as well. His current thinking was very simple: if he could get one person to sign the contract, then the intimidation of that person would be enough for him to leave here alive. He believed that Enoch was thinking like these superheroes, and that they would never abandon their companions.

Under those circumstances, he held the life and death of one person in his hands, which was more than enough for him. Previously, he had hoped to sign contracts with everyone. Signing contracts required some skill, but that was not a problem for him at all.

He just hadn't expected Nolan Locke to be so decisive, which forced her to abandon some of her other ideas. After all, doing so might have made Nolan Locke aware of something fishy, ​​but in the current situation, he believed that even Nolan Locke would not be able to detect anything.

For him, it would be a perfect thing. Although it would deprive him of the possibility of entering the real world, at least he could survive and control the fate of one of the superheroes. At that time, that superhero would inevitably be at his disposal, even if he was a superhero.

I don't want to say anything for him, but as long as he's on Earth, and as long as their soul contract hasn't ended, he can rely on this superhero to do many things, such as entering Earth's dimension. Although, even if he enters Earth's dimension, his power won't allow him to do much.
