A god-level prop master in the Marvel universe

Mephisto's face showed confusion and bewilderment, and one could also vaguely sense some anger.

Before Luo Bai could speak, he seemed to remember something and said, "That arrow. You took out an arrow when you signed the contract."

Luo Bai nodded and said, "You guessed right. It's that arrow, the Reversal Arrow, which can reverse everything. How about it? My gadget is amazing, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Mephisto suddenly understood.

In other words, Luo Bai used a prop to reverse the outcome of the contract.

Now, regardless of whether Mephisto grants Luo Bai power or not, he will never gain control of Luo Bai's soul.

The most infuriating thing is that, after the reversal, the final interpretation of this contract still belongs to Luo Bai?

Mephisto's face turned black in that instant.

What terrified him was not the reversal of the contract's outcome, but the fact that the item in Luo Bai's hand could change the rules.

A contract is both a weapon and a shackle.

Mephisto's contract is not an ordinary paper contract, but a part of the rules of magic and the rules of the universe.

Mephisto uses dark magic, but he did not create dark magic, nor did he create magic.

That is why even Mephisto himself could not easily destroy the contract.

It's not that he can't, but the magical backlash he suffers from is particularly severe, so most of the time he just uses loopholes in the contract to toy with his opponents.

Koro Bai, however, changed the rules of the contract with a small, completely inconspicuous prop.

This also means that the power of the rules governing the items Luo Bai possesses far surpasses the rules of the contract.

Although Mephisto possesses the ability to alter reality, this ability originates from the Hell dimension and cannot change the rules that transcend that dimension.

Clearly, the power of the reverse arrow's rules transcends the Hell dimension.

Therefore, Mephisto is powerless to change the current outcome, which is something he did not anticipate and was therefore completely unprepared for.

No, who would have thought that a novice mage who has just learned magic could have such a monstrous rule-based item?

"You've got something, kid," Mephisto said.

First move wins; take the opponent by surprise.

It seems that Luo Bai won this gamble.

"There's no other way; to deal with a demon like you, you need something real."

After tossing the contract to Mephisto, Luo Bai continued, "You can keep this contract. I know you like to find loopholes in the rules. However, the final interpretation right is in my hands."

Mephisto's entanglement with Luo Bai was for his soul, and now the contract's outcome has been reversed and is in effect.

This means that he will never be able to control Luo Bai's soul again unless he can invalidate the contract.

But how could Mephisto give up so easily?

Mephisto's expression darkened, and he retorted, "So what if I can't possess your soul? I can still put you in trouble and difficulties. Aren't you worried I'll target Tony?"

Luo Bai guessed that this guy would definitely threaten him.

It's just fooling people; anyone can do that.

Thinking of this, Luo Bai said in a serious tone, "You've seen it too. The Reversal Arrow can reverse everything, even the result of your contract. So I have nothing to be afraid of. Even if you really did something, I can reverse the outcome."

Although Mephisto knew of the existence of the Reversal Arrow, he did not know its specific usage. He only knew that Luo Bai had an item that could reverse everything.

Mephisto had no idea whether this item was the power of rules or the ability to alter reality, but what was certain was that this item was extremely powerful.

If the effects of a contract can be reversed, then reversing the outcome in reality is also reasonable.

To guarantee a 100% victory, Mephisto must take the Reverse Arrow from Lobe's hand.

Using a clone is definitely not possible.

After all, when they fought yesterday, Mephisto discovered that this kid seemed to be able to control time, and his clones were weakened so much that they were even affected by the power of time.

To take the Reversal Arrow from Luo Bai, Mephisto would have to come to Earth in his true form.

The problem is that the Ancient One is still here, and this kid is under her protection again.

If Mephisto were to descend to Earth in his true form, he would have to confront the Ancient One.

On Earth, Mephisto, as a dimensional lord, would certainly be at a disadvantage against the Sorcerer Supreme.

Taking everything into consideration, Mephisto can only let Luo Bai go for now and wait for a suitable opportunity to make his move.

"You are but a mortal with a finite lifespan. I am immortal and have plenty of time." Mephisto said this and then disappeared.

Seeing him disappear, Luo Bai knew that Mephisto probably wouldn't bother him again for a long time.

After all, that contract alone was enough for him to study, not to mention that Mephisto had his eye on more than just him.

This guy collects souls all over the multiverse; he has plenty of souls he's interested in.

By the time he comes to his senses, Luo Bai will probably have collected almost all the props.

"Looks like I can finally focus on developing for a while now," Luo Bai muttered, letting out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this thing was given to him by the system and did not exist in the Marvel universe, so Mephisto did not know that the Reverse Arrow had to touch a physical object to reverse.

Similar to what Luo Bai just mentioned, a complete reversal of the ending cannot be achieved 100%, since the reversal arrow cannot take effect without touching the physical object, and the reversal effect is completely uncontrollable.

Even so, the upper limit of this item is still terrifying.

With its terrifying effects and uncontrollable nature, it's no wonder Doraemon wanted to get rid of this gadget.

However, it can be quite powerful if used properly, so Luo Bai should keep this thing safe.

Having managed to seduce Mephisto, Luo Bai felt much better.

Eating, reading, practicing magic, sleeping—Luo Bai had never felt so relaxed.

This pleasant feeling continued into the next day.

At 8 a.m., Luo Bai arrived at the Kamar-Taj training grounds, humming a song.

As usual, Mordo was waiting at the training ground.

When he first saw Luo Bai, his expression still showed some worry, but Luo Bai was humming a song and in a great mood, which puzzled Mo Du.

"You seem to be in a good mood today?" Mordo asked tentatively.

Luo Bai nodded and replied cheerfully, "Because I solved the problem of Mephisto."

"????"

Modu remained silent, displaying a confused expression.

No, what did I just hear?

Luo Bai said he solved Mephisto?

Modu was somewhat surprised.

He let the mages train on their own, then pulled Luo Bai aside to a corner and asked, "You said you defeated the Lord of Hell, what does that mean?"

"It's a complicated matter. In short, he won't be bothering me for the time being," Luo Bai explained simply.

Mordo didn't understand, but he always felt that something was wrong.

How could Mephisto let Luo Bai go so easily, unless Luo Bai signed a contract with him!

Realizing this, Mordo's face instantly darkened as he asked, "You didn't actually make a demonic pact with Mephisto, did you?"

Before Luo Bai could answer, Gu Yi suddenly appeared.

"Luo Bai, come with me."

Once Gu Yi spoke, Mo Du, no matter how puzzled, couldn't ask any more questions.

And so, Luo Bai was taken to the main hall.
