I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 513 The Help of the Balance of Fate

A mysterious mage;

Incredible magic;

And demons from hell...

After meeting Erin, the experiences of the past few hours made Wanda look at Erin with a hint of curiosity.

This man seems to possess a peculiar charm.

Like a powerful magnet, he constantly attracts all sorts of mysterious elements to his side.

Over the past decade or so, while Baron Strucker has restricted their freedom to some extent, he has not restricted their access to various information.

However, the experience of meeting Erin in those few short hours was richer than all the mysterious elements Wanda and her companions had encountered in the past ten years combined.

This naturally aroused Wanda's intense curiosity about Erin.

Erin, who was listening to Wang and the others, did not notice Wanda's curious little eyes, or rather, even if he did notice them, he would not have paid them any mind.

Because at this moment, all of Erin's attention was focused on the notification sound that suddenly popped up in his mind.

[Ding, key elements activated. The host is being influenced by an unknown force, and their fate is fluctuating violently. Initiating the process of tracing back to the source...]

[Ding, the tracing back to the source has ended...]

Almost at the same time that the phrase "tracing back to the source" appeared in Erin's mind.

The scales of fate hidden within Erin trembled slightly, and a mysterious power, following the unknown force that was constantly influencing Erin, began to trace its origins.

In just a moment.

The power of the Scales of Fate seems to trace back everything and see through all cause and effect.

After discovering that the unknown power posed no threat to him, the [Scales of Fate] transmitted a scene into Erin's mind and then returned to calm.

at the same time.

A hazy image also appeared in Erin's mind.

·······

It was a gray, hazy space filled with sulfur and gunpowder smoke.

Erin saw a colossal palace atop the mountains, and countless demons with hideous faces grotesquely crawling outside it.

The Demon Heart of Witch, who should have been surrounded by countless demons, was now kneeling before a not-so-tall figure.

Even though they were right next to each other, no matter how hard Erin tried, he couldn't make out the figure with its back to him. Instead, the image of the Witchheart Demon kneeling on the ground was clearly visible.

It was exactly the same appearance of the Witchheart Demon that the scarred mage had shown him earlier to make it easier for Erin to do his divination.

If Wu Xinmo could kneel down so respectfully, then who is the owner of that figure?

Just as Erin was beginning to guess who that figure was.

The figure with his back to Erin lightly slashed with his cane, tearing a spatial passage through the void.

"Go, my child, go to Earth, find the one who has repeatedly thwarted my plans, and then... bring back his soul."

"When you return, I will personally crown you!"

As he spoke, the owner of that voice waved his right hand lightly, and Wu Xinmo's body floated up uncontrollably, controlled by that figure, drifting towards the spatial passage he had casually torn open.

Feeling the terrifying power manipulating his body, which he was completely unable to resist, Wu Xinmo's expression changed slightly. But when he thought of the promise made by that figure, an undisguised greed rose in his eyes.

"Father, what should I do to find the guy who keeps ruining your plans?"

Seeing the undisguised ambition in the eyes of the Witchheart Demon, the figure with his back to Erin seemed quite satisfied, and extended his staff, leaving a brand on the Witchheart Demon's chest.

"My power will guide you to him."

"All you have to do is bring that guy's soul to me."

After saying this, the figure with his back to Erin didn't wait for Wu Xinmo's reply before throwing Wu Xinmo into the spatial passage he had casually torn open.

"etc······"

Wu Xinmo, who had no time to prepare, suddenly changed his expression and shouted as his body flew toward the spatial passage.

No matter how much they shouted, the speed at which the Demon of the Witch Heart flew toward the spatial passage did not slow down in the slightest.

Seeing that his body was about to be swallowed by the spatial passage, Wu Xinmo instantly extended four black chains from his hands and feet, then wrapped them up with his four subordinates who were closest to the spatial passage, and they fell into the spatial passage together.

·······

As Wu Xinmo's figure disappeared into the spatial passage.

The image that suddenly appeared in Erin's mind shattered with a crash.

"That figure that the Witchheart Demon called 'father' should, if I'm not mistaken, be Mephisto, the Lord of Hell. According to the description in this scene, he threw the Witchheart Demon to Earth, probably hoping that the Witchheart Demon would find and kill the guy who repeatedly thwarted his plans..."

"The guy Mephisto is looking for, who can repeatedly thwart the plans of the Lord of Hell, must be someone extraordinary. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to send out the Heart Demon. Hmm? Wait a minute..."

The unknown forces that influence oneself, coupled with the tracing back to the source of the [Scales of Fate].

Damn it, the guy Mephisto is looking for isn't me, is it?

Speaking of which...

The disaster in Tokyo was probably orchestrated by Mephistopheles.

If it hadn't been for its own sabotage, Tokyo might have actually been dragged into the Hell dimension by Mephisto.

Ok.

if that's the case.

Even if Earth doesn't completely fall, it will still merge with the Hell dimension on a deeper level.

At that time, perhaps all the souls of all the dead on Earth will be relegated to the Hell dimension.

Even if Earth manages to escape the erosion of the Hell dimension by chance,

The countless flesh and souls that perished during the invasion of the Hell Dimension were enough to please it.

As the instigator, Mephistopheles will undoubtedly reap considerable benefits from this.

According to this explanation, he did indeed thwart Mephistopheles's plans.

The thought of this possibility made Erin's face twitch involuntarily.

can.

This isn't the only time, is it?

How could Mephistos, the lord of the Hell dimension, be so stingy?

After feeling depressed.

Erin's expression also began to turn serious.

If the ultimate goal of this guy, Wu Xinmo, coming to Earth is to take his soul back to the Hell dimension, then even without the King's help, he and Wu Xinmo would inevitably clash.

Thinking of this, Erin frowned slightly and began to consider his next move.

This return to the origin of the "Scales of Fate" turned Erin from a passive to an active position, allowing Erin, who was originally unaware of this, to seize a slight advantage.

That being the case.

There was no need for Erin to be polite to the Witchheart Demon.

Didn't you want to use my soul to satisfy Mephistopheles?

Then don't blame me for asking Mephistopheles' question first with your death.

Didn't Wang and his group say that Wu Xinmo and his group were only one or two tenths of their strength when they crossed the protective barrier?

So now is the perfect time to deal with those guys.

·······

The mages inside the New York Sanctuary had no idea that so much had happened in Erin's "mind" during that short period of time.

After hearing their ideas, Erin frowned and fell silent.

The many mages inside the sanctuary couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Those demon lords somehow managed to quickly erase the locations marked by the protective barrier. If Erin's side also can't find those demon lords...

Then things will get complicated.

The demon lords brought by the Demon Heart Demon are quite powerful; once they recover their strength...

That would be yet another disaster for humanity.

After the mages exchanged glances, it was finally the king, who was closest to Erin, who broke the silence and asked, "Erin, is it possible that even you can't find those demon lords?"

Startled by these words, Erin raised his head slightly and soon saw the king with a solemn expression on his face, as well as the mages around him exchanging glances.

After a moment of silence.

Erin said, "It's not a problem to divine the life or death of the inner demons of the witch, but demons are highly resistant to the mystical realm, so I can't guarantee that I can divine the location of those demon lords."

"Moreover, many demons have an innate and strong premonition of danger. We might just find out their location, and the next second they might move to another location because of their sense of danger."

As soon as Erin said this, the mages surrounding him fell silent.

On the contrary, the white-bearded mage who hadn't been very optimistic about Erin before said in a deep voice, "Why are you all looking so sullen? This is much better than us running around like headless flies."

"As for those demons who sensed danger and fled, are the [Dimensional Gates] you control just for eating shit?"

"When it comes to speed, who can compare to the mages of our lineage?"

After berating the other mages, the white-bearded mage turned to Erin and asked kindly, "What do you need to prepare for your divination?"

"Just tell me what you need, and I'll have them prepare it."

"If possible, I hope you can start the divination immediately."

"Every minute earlier we find those guys, there could be one less victim."

Seeing this, Erin didn't stand on ceremony, "If possible, prepare a quiet room for me, and also some candles and hydrosol..."

·······

While Erin was preparing for divination.

Texas.

Due to the distance, the S.H.I.E.L.D. Quinjet and the Federation's seven Raptor fighters had not yet arrived, but the modern mechanized force dispatched from a military base not far from the explosion site had arrived at the explosion site first.

Upon arrival at the scene.

Looking around at the barren, yellow earth that had been leveled by the shockwave of the explosion, and the huge crater at the center of the explosion, which looked like it had been formed by a meteorite impact, hundreds of meters in diameter.

The soldiers on the troop carrier all swallowed hard.

Damn it.

This power.

Did someone use a small nuclear weapon here?

The armored vehicle, and the officer with the rank of major, also thought of this and subconsciously moved away from the crater created by the explosion.

He immediately ordered his soldiers to take out instruments, approach the pit, and begin testing the surrounding radiation levels.

"Beep beep beep..."

After a series of adjustments by the technicians, the instrument quickly displayed the specific data.

"Sir, no traces of radiation were detected at the explosion center."

Upon hearing the technician's shout, the major in the armored vehicle and the surrounding soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that there was no "danger," the major stepped down from the armored vehicle and addressed the surrounding soldiers:

"According to the above information, this explosion was most likely caused by demons from hell. Everyone should be on high alert."

"Team One, Team Two, take your weapons and go check that pit."

"Teams three and four, move all the armored vehicles to the edge of that pit and prepare for fire support."

"Teams 5, 6, 7, and 8, spread out from the explosion center and check the surrounding area. If you encounter any danger, fire a warning shot immediately."

"As for the rest of you, stay where you are with me."

Upon hearing that the target of this mission was a demon, the Federation soldiers present instinctively gripped their weapons tighter.

After the Tokyo disaster.

People have once again come to realize the terror and threat of evil.

Unlike ordinary people who pick up their faith and pray to God and various deities for protection, this is different.

Among the armies of various countries.

Almost immediately, they distributed the information they had obtained to the entire army, and then launched targeted military exercises with the demons as their targets.

That's why.

Upon hearing that the mission target was a demon, the soldiers present were somewhat nervous, but they did not panic.

Several battle maniacs even had an irrepressible gleam of excitement in their eyes.

Led by their respective captains, the soldiers of each squad headed toward the targets assigned by the major.

After the armored vehicles were in place and surrounded the huge crater, the first and second teams responsible for exploring the crater carefully carried their weapons and stepped into the pit.

"Be careful, everyone. If you spot any danger, retreat immediately."

After the team leader spoke, a tall, thin soldier behind him said nonchalantly:

"Don't worry, Captain. Don't let the intimidating appearance fool you; I bet this is the safest place around here."

"The power of such a terrifying explosion would melt even steel, let alone flesh and blood."

"Demons may be powerful, but I don't believe they can withstand an explosion like this."

"If that demon had been here back then, we probably wouldn't have even found their remains in this godforsaken place."

"Hmph! Shut up, you bastard." The team leader turned around and glared at the guy, then said, "You little brat, don't jinx me. If anything happens because of your foul mouth, I'll stuff a stinky sock in your mouth later."
