I'm grinding for Marvel attributes

Chapter 191 I Refusal

Sithon did not continue to try every direction.

As the god of black magic, his magical skills were extremely high.

After calming down and observing carefully, he still couldn't figure out the principle behind the spell.

But he knew that he couldn't escape this spell by speed alone.

Relying solely on speed is like being a headless fly, doing useless work.

Stab it!

Xisorn unleashed his divine power, his claws slicing through the void in front of him, tearing space apart.

Beyond the spatial rift lies a series of turbulent currents of spacetime. Stepping into them could lead to being transported to any location within the universe, or even to beyond it.

Standing before the spatial rift, Sithon remained motionless for a long time, unable to make a choice.

However, Russell's gradually closing hand did not slow down because of Sithon's indecisiveness.

A shadow swept rapidly from the horizon, enveloping Sithon.

At this moment, a shadow also fell over the Great Demon Shadow's heart.

Silently, the five fingers gradually closed together, covering the sky and the sun.

Having made up his mind, Sithon leaped into the turbulent flow of time and space.

He's going to take a gamble!

I'm betting he wasn't thrown out of the universe by the spacetime turbulence!

After an unknown amount of time, Xisorn tore through space once more and emerged from the spacetime turbulence.

In the distance, stars twinkle, while meteorites occasionally streak by nearby.

Although it was an unfamiliar space in space, it still felt familiar.

This is the real universe!

Sithon knew he had won his gamble!

He is still in the real universe and has not been thrown out of the real universe by the spacetime turbulence.

But when Sithon looked down, he found himself standing on a continent, a continent that was inexplicably and alone, floating in the universe.

No, this is not the mainland!

This is the palm of my hand!

Even though he traversed endless distances using the help of spacetime turbulence, Sithon was still in Russell's palm!

And this hand is still closing.

boom!

Enraged, Xishon gathered his divine power in his feet and unleashed it, slamming it into the palms beneath his feet.

A terrifying energy surge erupted, accompanied by a cracking sound as space shattered, and Xisorn's entire body sank into the palm beneath his feet.

He's going to smash that damned hand through!

Upon reaching into his palm, Xisone found no flesh or blood, only a vast expanse of white, an unprecedented and unheard-of luminous substance.

After an unknown amount of time, a crimson stream of light shot out from the back of his palm.

Sithon successfully pierced the entire palm.

However, outside the palm was an even larger palm.

At this moment, the larger hand had almost completely closed, forming a fist.

Within the fist was a distorted, fragmented space.

"Russell, your abilities have earned my respect. We can talk again!"

Sithon shouted.

"Ten times. If you capture Wanda and hand her over to me, I can give you ten times the energy you just had."

The response from Sisson was a fist that gradually clenched.

"20 times!"

"100 times!"

Bring your palms together completely to form a fist.

The world inside and outside his fist seemed to be divided into two separate worlds, and Sithon could no longer feel the presence of the real universe.

Even his senses were trapped within his energy body, unable to actively acquire any information from the outside world. He was completely cut off from his physical body within the blinking domain.

Time loses its meaning here.

Suddenly, a bright light pierced the darkness within the fist, illuminating this dark world.

This world is very familiar to Sithon!

It was in the bookstore lounge where he had arrived earlier.

Looking up, Sisson saw Russell smiling at him.

"Great God of Dark Magic, when will you grant me this 100x power?"

Russell never expected that Sithon would be so extravagant and wealthy!

Is this the accumulation of billions of years by the ancient gods?

Loved it!

If he weren't worried about being noticed, he would have secretly slowed down the speed at which his hands closed, to see if Sisson would offer a higher price.

"Russell, help me capture Wanda, and I will give you the energy after I arrive."

"I can feel the allure of the real universe again," Sisorn said in a deep voice.

"No, no, great God of Dark Magic, what if you descend and then turn your back on me? What should I do?"

Russell waved his hand repeatedly.

"If you ask me, give me the energy first, and then I'll help you capture Wanda."

Both Russell and Sithon knew perfectly well that the other party would not agree to such harsh conditions.

Russell suddenly realized something.

The deal between the two was difficult to reach because there were almost no intermediaries who could vouch for them.

Contracts and similar means are useless against them.

Most importantly, Russell had no intention of trading Wanda; he just wanted to get something for nothing.

But Sisorn was unaware of this.

In his view, Russell, with his strength, could easily capture Wanda.

Paying a certain price to get Russell to help once is not unreasonable.

However, he needed to consider the relationship between Russell and Wanda, since the two were located very close to each other.

Furthermore, he simply didn't want to be extorted too much.

"Russell, we can emulate the transactions of ordinary people. At each stage, I will pay you a certain amount of energy."

After a moment of silence, Sisorn slowly said, "As long as you capture Wanda, I'll give you ten percent immediately."

"Okay." Russell nodded. He reached out and grabbed Wanda, who was unconscious.

Sithon glanced greedily at Wanda in Russell's hand; he couldn't be mistaken for her, given the intense aura of chaotic magic she exuded.

Without further ado, Sithon pointed to the Dark Book on Russell's knee.

The Dark Book flashed with light, and crimson energy surged from it, entering Russell's body.

While Russell absorbed the crimson energy, Sithon quietly observed, trying to discern how Russell processed the energy.

However, all I observed was emptiness.

Seeing this, Sisorn quickly proposed another condition.

A condition to test Russell's relationship with Wanda.

Sithon's voice was chilling, his tone revealing cruelty: "Take off her clothes first, then cut her into a thousand pieces. Just leave her with a breath left, don't let her die."

If Russell did as instructed, it would indicate that his relationship with Wanda was not particularly close.

Narsene need not worry that Russell will renege on the deal.

If Russell doesn't comply, it means that Russell and Wanda have a good relationship.

This means that Sithorn has to consider whether he doesn't have enough bargaining chips or whether Russell simply doesn't want to make a deal with him.

Russell's heart skipped a beat; he hadn't expected Sithon to suddenly make this offer.

Agreeing is impossible; if it's a freebie, then it's a freebie.

Russell's expression turned serious, and he pretended to be hesitant.

Seeing this, Sisson escalated his efforts, aiming to break Russell's bottom line layer by layer.

"Take off her clothes, and I'll immediately give you another 10%, this is an extra bonus!"

Russell continued to feign hesitation, absorbing the energy surging from the Dark Book.

Seeing this, Sisorn interrupted the energy transmission and was about to speak again to persuade him.

boom!

Sir Thorne's energy body was instantly crushed by Russell.

"I refuse!"
