I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 303 Mephistopheles

Just as the mysterious Seven Deadly Sins Knights appeared and blocked the superheroes from heading to Stark Tower.

Inside Hell's Kitchen.

Erin stood atop the Miracle Building, gazing at Manhattan in the distance, which was almost completely destroyed, and frowned slightly.

"Is this...out of control?"

As more and more Chitauri burst out of the portal, the war has long since spread beyond Manhattan. Now, the entire city of New York is engulfed in flames, and even the slums where Hell's Kitchen is located have not been spared.

Fortunately, Erin was prepared.

At the moment the war began.

Thousands upon thousands of fully armed "security guards" wearing Miracle Corporation security uniforms filed out of Miracle Building, forcibly taking over the order of Hell's Kitchen and frantically resisting the Chitauri who dared to invade Hell's Kitchen according to a pre-arranged plan.

They attacked the swarming Chitauri.

Of course, their reason for working so hard is not simply to be loyal to the Miracle Corporation.

Their primary concern was simply to protect their families who were currently taking refuge in the Miracle Group's shelters.

at first.

They took their families to the Miracle Corporation's shelter, but their main motivation was the $1000 bonus the company would give them after completing the mission.

After all, $1000 is no small sum for these low-level gang members.

of course.

When they received this sudden order from the Miracle Group, many people with dark intentions began to suspect the group's motives, and even regarded it as a conspiracy by the Miracle Group to control them.

In their view.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

After all, it's one thing to give it to the old guard of the Miracle Group, but how could gang members like them, who were just forcibly recruited into the Miracle Group, possibly encounter such a good thing?

As a result, many people refused the task for various reasons.

Erin did not insist on this.

but.

When I saw with my own eyes the smoke of battle that filled New York and Manhattan that was almost reduced to ruins.

Everyone who brought their family to the underground shelter that Miracle Corporation had temporarily converted was grateful for their initial choice.

Those who initially suspected Miracle Group of having ulterior motives and dared not bring their families to the shelter are now filled with regret.

pity.

There's no going back in this world.

··················

Just then, in Miracle Corporation's monitoring room, Fregra saw a massive steel behemoth hurtling towards Hell's Kitchen. He pressed a button on his infinity headset and spoke to Bruce Banner on the other end of the line:

"Dr. Banner, a big guy is coming. Do you need me to help you recall a few things that made you angry? Hmm... I recently taught myself hypnosis, and the boss said I have quite a talent for it."

The 27th floor of the Miracle Building.

Dr. Banner, wearing a white lab coat, kissed Betty's cheek after hearing the voice coming through the earpiece. Then, he tore open his lab coat and said to Fregra on the other end of the earpiece, "No need. I've been practicing quite well lately, and I've accumulated too much anger within me..."

Roar!

With a roar that seemed to release pent-up anger, a huge green figure smashed through the glass of the Miracle Tower and pounced on a Leviathan behemoth flying toward the Miracle Tower.

The person has not yet arrived.

With that roar, a green fist shattered the air, carrying a fierce gust of wind and the air that had been almost solidified before the green fist, and accelerated down onto the Leviathan's head covered with a layer of steel armor.

"Thump!"

It was clearly a collision of fist and steel, yet it produced a thunderous roar, and a shockwave from the collision swept in all directions.

Click!

In the terrified gaze of the Leviathan behemoth, a huge crater, as tall as a person, was instantly punched into the steel armor on its head.

Under this indescribable, terrifying force.

Its skull shattered instantly, creating a large crater, and the Leviathan's eyes seemed unable to withstand the terrifying pressure from within its skull, bursting open instantly and spurting out two streams of foul-smelling brain matter.

After falling from the 27th floor and killing a Leviathan behemoth with a single punch.

The Hulk leaped from the Leviathan's head and charged towards the Chitauri army riding on its back...

When that Leviathan behemoth fell from the sky.

The hundreds of Chitauri soldiers on it were reduced to corpses under Hulk's rampage.

"What terrifying power! If this guy punched me, my body would probably explode... Luckily, this guy is on our side. But, are we really not going to bother with Dr. Banner anymore?"

On the rooftop of the Miracle Tower, watching the Hulk, who had smashed the Leviathan with a single punch and was now charging madly towards the distant Chitauri army, Gillis asked Erin in front of her with some concern.

She wasn't worried about Dr. Banner getting hurt in this form.

I'm just a little worried that Dr. Banner might go on a killing spree and start attacking indiscriminately, which would be troublesome.

after all.

Now, in the eyes of others, Dr. Banner works for Miracle Corporation.

"Appropriate venting will help Dr. Banner better control the Hulk's power. I believe the doctor will handle it himself."

After explaining something to Kiris...

Erin tapped his earpiece and said to Fregra, "Fregra, send out the other personnel as well, and have them protect our stores in other parts of New York."

"Understood, BOSS..."

We will proceed step by step according to the previous plan.

A sense of confusion arose in Erin's heart.

strangeness.

Previously, Loki had an extra ice box on him, and the Ancient One even made an excuse to let her take the ice box away from Loki.

How come the Ancient One still hasn't appeared, even though the intensity of this war has escalated to this point?

Does she really want to see New York reduced to ruins?

·······················

Empire State Building.

At this moment, the Ancient One, who was being talked about by Erin, was confronting an elderly gentleman with a full head of white hair.

I glanced at the crystal ball in front of the elderly gentleman, which was displaying images of the London sanctuary.

Gu Yi's eyes were filled with a chilling killing intent.

"It seems I've been too lenient with you all in the past... Mephistos!"

The elderly gentleman, in the human form of Mephisto, the Lord of Hell, leaned on his cane and smiled at the Ancient One:

"Mercy? No, you're just old, Ancient One. Your mortal body and lifespan have suppressed your growth. If you had immortality, believe me, Ancient One, you would become the most terrifying being in the entire multiverse."

"Swear allegiance to me, Ancient One. My promise still stands. If you pledge allegiance to me, I will grant you eternal blood and personally transform you into a Lord of Hell. At that time, lifespan and body will no longer be your limitations, but rather resources for your power."

Looking at the patient and persuasive Mephistopheles.

Ancient One sneered, "Is that so? If your true self came to recruit me, I might have believed a few more words. But now, do you think I would believe someone who only dares to send a temporary avatar to me and threaten me with the London Sanctuary?"

Cassius, who was standing in the magic circle, smiled disdainfully after hearing the Ancient One's words.

If I hadn't offered up the body of "jealousy," giving this cowardly old man another incarnation...

This old guy doesn't even dare to send a clone in front of the Ancient One.

"Threats? That's not a threat. It's just a bargaining chip to get you to sit down and negotiate with me calmly. As long as you stay quiet, I guarantee I will absolutely not attack the London Sanctuary..."

Mephistopheles had barely finished speaking.

Suddenly, streaks of starlight appeared in the dazzling London night sky.

Immediately afterwards, a huge, purple phantom head appeared in the sky above the London Sanctuary.

Seeing the illusory figure appear in the crystal ball, the Ancient One's eyes turned cold.

"Dormammu? Very well, it seems that your Hell Dimension has joined forces with the Dark Dimension. Since that's so good, then this body of yours may just die."

The next second, Gu Yi pulled her hands outwards in front of her.

Suddenly, the surroundings became quiet.

The screaming citizens on the street, the deafening explosions, and even the roar of the Chitauri flying by in their aircraft all vanished without a trace.

Mirror Space

The Ancient One's signature spell.

Upon entering the dimensional space, a hint of solemnity flashed in the Ancient One's eyes.

In the mirror space she created, there was no one else besides herself and Mephisto, whom she had brought there.

Even though the guy behind Mephisto was within his attack range, he didn't appear here with the [Mirror Space] he created.

The moment the [Mirror Space] opened, it seemed as if an unknown force held him firmly in place, blocking the pull of the [Mirror Space].

"What a mysterious and daring little fellow. Even I didn't know that he had persuaded Dormammu while also persuading me. But that makes it even more interesting, doesn't it?"

Seeing Cassius standing outside the mirror space, smiling at the inside, Mephistos smiled faintly beside him.

He seemed completely unconcerned about Cassius's deception and scheming against him, and his opposition was actually an unusual admiration for what he had done.

It's more meaningful to collect souls like these.

"Interesting? You should take care of yourself first. Although destroying an avatar won't kill you, the feeling of permanently losing a part of your soul and power won't be pleasant even for you."

Upon hearing this, a chilling killing intent flashed in Ancient One's eyes, and she immediately launched an attack on the avatar of Mephisto in front of her.

"After dealing with you for so many years, it won't be so easy for you to keep this avatar of mine, Ancient One."

"Yeah?"

After saying this casually, a strange and powerful force suddenly appeared on Ancient One's body, a force that Mephisto had never felt before.

Upon sensing this power, Mephisto's eye twitched involuntarily.

What is this strange power that makes me feel a little uneasy?

Damn it.

Could it be that another dimensional demon, while wandering around, encountered the Ancient One, a conman, and was tricked into getting something for free?

After all, Gu Yi has a history of doing this kind of thing.

The thought of this possibility made Murphytos feel like he was going to vomit blood.

Damn it.

Why did they have to lie to me now of all times? That idiot screwed me over.

To complete the deal with Cassius, Mephisto projected a considerable amount of his soul and power into this body.

Power is irrelevant; after leaving the Hell dimension, the power he projected was decreasing every moment, and his avatars simply couldn't retain their great power.

With the Hell Dimension as his support, the lifeless Mephisto will eventually be able to replenish his lost power.

But the soul is something else.

Even Mephistopheles wouldn't dare to abandon it so easily.

·······························································

He felt the faint, heart-pounding energy fluctuations emanating from the surrounding space.

Cassius looked at the magic circle beneath his feet, which was gradually emanating a mysterious aura, and sighed, "What a pity, the Sorcerer Supreme arrived a little too early. If I had waited a few more hours, after I had sacrificed these millions of lives and offered up the six deadly sins, she might have become the best tool in my hands..."

"Greed, sloth, gluttony are all in place, and the soul of envy is still in my hands. Now, all that's left is wrath and lust."

Just as Cassius was speaking, a pale soul radiating endless rage was suddenly sucked into the six-pointed star, and then the point representing rage suddenly lit up.

Immediately afterwards, the aura of the magic circle beneath Cassius's feet surged dramatically.

A terrifying and invisible suction force continued to spread, gradually enveloping the entire city of New York.

The crimson law, now resembling a bottomless black hole, relentlessly pulled at one pale soul after another, drawing them into the magic circle beneath Cassius's feet.

As more and more souls are devoured.

An indescribable aura of terror gradually rose from the magic array.

Cassius was slightly surprised to see the gap that lit up again on the six-pointed star magic circle.

"Is Wrath dead too?"

Cassius had originally thought that the last original sin to die would be the rage that he had arranged to be the last, but unexpectedly, the one that persisted the longest was the lust that made the first move.

"I really underestimated you, Corinna!"
