Chapter 229: The Death of Mephisto

In the eyes of the cunning Mephisto, this was a trap set by the Ancient One.

Just as Mephisto was wary of the Sorcerer Supreme who could appear at any moment, the Gloomy Iron Chains binding his entire body rattled.

The thick Gloomy Iron Chains formed from Netherworld Death Energy were covered in Netherworld Runes, sealing, soul-locking, and spirit-suppressing. The runes on the chains wrapped around Mephisto's body emitted a faint Gleam.

Strands of Gleam transformed into black needles, piercing into Mephisto's skin, sealing his Soul within his Husk and restricting his Change.

The thick Gloomy Iron Chains, as large as houses, wrapped around Mephisto's three-thousand-meter-tall Demonic Body, circling him again and again, binding his hands and feet completely.

And the other end of the chains extended into the darkness. Amidst the rattling of the chains, eight tall figures, no less imposing than Mephisto, tightened the chains in their hands.

Clang! The thick chains snapped taut amidst Mephisto's roar, but the True Body of Ghost God formed by the four Magic Treasure Level Ghoul White Bone Banners continuously injected the power of the Ghoul White Bone Banner into the chains, maintaining the Gloomy Iron Soul-Locking Chains and preventing them from snapping.

Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head, Horse-Face, Leopard-Tail, Bird-Beak, Fish-Gill, Wasp!

The four Ghoul White Bone Banners, refined into Magic Treasures by Tang Song, had developed their own Divine Sense. Although the figures of the Eight Great Yin Commanders were still illusory, they carried a hint of the true meaning of a Netherworld Commander.

The nine figures were like nine towering mountains, appearing and disappearing in the dark environment of Svartalfheim.

The Eight Great Yin Commanders surrounded Mephisto, who had revealed his True Body. Around Mephisto, Netherworld Death Energy formed a Netherworld Vortex dozens of miles in diameter. The vortex pulled Mephisto into the center, reaching straight up to his waist.

Clang, clang, as Mephisto struggled, several Yellow Springs Great Waves, condensed from Netherworld Death Energy and heavier than Mount Tai, crashed down on his head, leaving Mephisto dizzy and disoriented, unsure of where he was. Mephisto shrieked as he was swept into the vortex. Mephisto was like a bean in a Grinding Mill, being ground by the great vortex, making grinding sounds. Countless Netherworld Death Energy and Yellow Springs waves crashed onto his Body, splashing large sparks.

However, ancient Demons like Mephisto had extraordinarily sturdy bodies. No matter how the Yellow Springs tide formed by Netherworld Death Energy twisted and killed him, although he was bound and unable to move, he remained completely unharmed.

Just then, a tall, silver-white figure appeared silently behind Mephisto and smashed a heavy Fist into the back of Mephisto's Head.

The massive figure was even taller than Mephisto's mountain-like physique.

Controlling the Silver Armored Corpse formed from a Celestial member, Tang Song used all his Strength and punched towards the back of Mephisto's Head. The Fist carried a huge sound of breaking air, powerful as thunder, and slammed onto the back of Mephisto's Head.

With a loud 'crack', Mephisto's entire Body simultaneously emitted a huge cracking sound, and the two Bighorn Sheep Horns on his head were also shattered inch by inch.

Mephisto let out a mournful wail, Hell Magma spurted from his nose. His feet stumbled, and he was knocked down into the Yellow Springs water waves formed by Netherworld Death Energy by the punch.

Boom! Mephisto's massive Body fell, like a mountain crashing into a lake, instantly stirring up surging waves.

Among the Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Iron Grade Armored Corpses of Heshan Dao,

The Grade of this Silver Armored Corpse was not outstanding, but the Strength and Origin of the Celestial whose Corpse Tang Song refined were too outstanding.

Since obtaining this Corpse, suspected to be a Celestial, Tang Song had used the Corpses and Flesh and Blood transported by his Cleaners to cultivate this Armored Corpse. Only then was he barely able to Refine this Celestial into a Body Protecting Armored Corpse.

And to cultivate the Grade of such a Big Guy to the level of a Silver Armored Corpse, relying solely on the real world would be impossible unless a third world war occurred, causing the extinction of tens of millions of people at once.

However, after mastering the Summoning Method/Technique for Hell Demons, the endless Demons in the Hell Dimension were almost the best Consumables for Tang Song.

To Refine this Celestial Armored Corpse, Tang Song recruited several down-and-out Black Wizards through the previous Troll Black Market, now the Dark Black Market.

Not only that, but he also used his connections with the Sacred Shield Brotherhood to get several Necromancers who had been imprisoned for one or two centuries out of The Church's Inquisition.

These Black Wizards and Necromancers, after being planted with the Heart Demon Great Curse, worked daily to draw Magic Arrays, Summon Demons, and feed them to the Celestial Armored Corpse.

After two years, hundreds of thousands of Demons became food for this behemoth.

Some smaller Hell Dimensions even experienced situations where they couldn't Summon Demons when facing the Black Wizards' Magic Summoning Formation because they had been exploited too much.

It's worth noting that Hell Demons resisting the temptation of the material world was a rare and unheard-of phenomenon before. This shows how ruthless these Black Wizards were.

These Black Wizards, especially the Necromancers, because their bodies were no longer living, were almost constantly Summoning Demons. Under the day and night labor of these free laborers, Boss Tang successfully gained a heavyweight Trump Card. Although this Celestial Armored Corpse had just been Refined to the Silver stage, relying on its Strength in life and its powerful Physique, this Silver Armored Corpse was completely comparable to a true Flying Yaksha.

Flying Yaksha, Heshan Dao Body-Protecting Armored Corpse, is divided into four grades: Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Iron. Above Gold Armored Corpse is Flying Yaksha.

As the name suggests, a Flying Yaksha is a Zombie that can fly. The Force of a Flying Yaksha is completely comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator. This Silver Armored Corpse refined from the Celestial Corpse lacks only the Earth Evasion and Sky Flight Method/Technique and the Innate Divine Ability compared to a Flying Yaksha. In terms of Strength, this Silver Armored Corpse is even hundreds of times stronger than ordinary Flying Yaksha.

This was also the Reason Tang Song was able to knock down Mephisto with one punch.

The Gloomy Iron Chains formed by the Ghoul White Bone Banner sealed Mephisto's Soul Change, preventing him from using Magic Sorcery.

The Celestial Silver Armored Corpse directly moved forward, pressing its knee against Mephisto's Chest, and swung its mountain-like Fist fiercely at Mephisto's face.

One punch, two punches, three punches... The bound Mephisto was pressed into the Yellow Springs water formed by Netherworld Death Energy. His scorched red face was sparking from the blows. Under repeated heavy punches, hot Lava continuously flowed from his seven orifices, such as his nostrils and eyes.

Mephisto tried to resist countless times, but he couldn't overcome the eight figures pulling him. Every time he tried to resist, the Eight Great Yin Commanders pulled the chains together, and the numerous restrictions on the Gloomy Iron Soul-Locking Chains, such as sealing, soul-locking, and spirit-suppressing, simultaneously emitted a Gleam, sealing Mephisto's Entire Body.

Originally, with the methods and Strength of an Old Devil like Mephisto, he wouldn't have fallen to this state. However, he had been secretly attacked by Tang Someone's Nail Head Seven Arrows Book for a long time.

The Hell Lord, the Devil Monarch, always known for his cunning, would normally have at least ten thousand ways to escape this situation with his cunning Head. For some Reason, his Head was dizzy and muddled, and he couldn't remember a single one.

He was just bound by the chains, enduring the punches of the Silver Armored Corpse.

Two Big Guys, each three to four thousand meters tall, wrestled together. Compared to them, King Ghidorah and Godzilla were just like insects at their feet.

Every time the Silver Armored Corpse's Fist smashed into Mephisto's face, it sounded like a huge Muffled Thunder echoing for hundreds of miles.

Every time Mephisto twisted his Body to dodge, the Ground beneath him shook violently as if a ground dragon had flipped over. The strong Earthquake-like Vibration affected thousands of miles in Svartalfheim.

Rumble—

The Ground shook again. After Lucien stabilized himself, the first thing he did was look at the several Werewolf Subordinates behind him who were carrying boxes.

At this time, Lucien and his group were riding Flying Motorcycle/Skiffs and had penetrated hundreds of miles into Svartalfheim.

Due to the battle between the two behemoths, the Silver Armored Corpse and Mephisto, the Pitch black Horizon was filled with the sound of flapping Wings.

To avoid these powerful flying beasts of Svartalfheim, Lucien had to abandon the Flying Motorcycle/Skiffs and travel by land.

Fortunately, his carefully selected Werewolf Subordinates had all been injected with the Perfect Serum, and their Physical Quality far exceeded that of ordinary Werewolves. Even carrying heavy iron boxes, their steps were still steady.

"How much further do we have to go?"

A fat middle-aged white man looked impatiently at the Pitch black surroundings.

He wore high-precision Night Vision Goggles on his face, and behind him were four metal Tentacles like Octopus tentacles.

The four Tentacles alternately lifted his fat Body into the Air, allowing him to keep up with Lucien and his group.

"Dr. Otto, we need to find a suitable place to establish a forward Base! Just bear with it a little longer, Boss Tang will keep his promise to you!"

Lucien turned back to comfort Doctor Octopus.

"I know Mr. Tang is a generous person, but this place is Pitch black and constantly experiencing Earthquakes. Even if we find a suitable location and set up an Artificial Sun, with this frequency of Earthquakes, I don't understand what there is to Develop here!"

Doctor Octopus shook his Head.

"Don't worry, Dr. Otto, this Earthquake will end soon. While the native beasts of Svartalfheim are hiding from this Earthquake, we'd best hurry..."

The Earthquakes came one after another.

Mephisto's eyes were blackened from the continuous heavy blows. His head reeled as if angels were singing, causing Severe Pain in his Five Zang Organs and Six Fu Organs.

About ten miles away from the battle between the two behemoths, on top of a hill, Tang Song controlled the Silver Armored Corpse while using his Sword Pill to carve a smooth platform three to four hundred meters wide on the hilltop.

He took out a Rosewood Long Table from his Five Yin Pouch and placed the Nail Head Seven Arrows Book Straw Doll with Mephisto's alias inscribed on it.

After setting up the Altar, Tang Song released Wolverine Logan. Wolverine Logan, possessed by three thousand Fallen Holy Spirits, knelt before the Altar and performed the Great Kowtow Ceremony towards the Straw Doll, which was only one arrow away from completion.

"Not enough!"

Tang Song looked at the unresponsive Straw Doll beside Logan, frowning. Even without the Hell Dimension's obstruction, relying on Wolverine Logan's Destiny to curse a Hell Lord was ultimately insufficient.

However, Tang Song was prepared. He took out Hibernation Pods from his Five Yin Pouch, and dense Hibernation Pods covered the entire platform. The Hibernation Pods opened one by one, revealing figures with vacant stares.

These people varied in skin color, race, and gender.

People of East Asian Descent, Black Person, White Person. Among them were brave Detectives who had Investigated Boss Tang, Gang Leaders who opposed him, and Hitmen who wanted his Life.

Some were not even considered human, such as the Prince of the Dark Elf race who had appeared in the Troll Black Market.

However, no matter what kind of person, those chosen by him as Sacrificial Offerings had something extraordinary about them. Like the big-nosed one in the second row, a Police Officer from HK. The HK Police somehow got Information and traced the original Counterfeit Currency Template Case, even contacting Interpol and reaching New York. This big-nosed man named Chen even found one of Boss Tang's Counterfeit Money bases.

His luck and Skill were good, but unfortunately, there were dozens of Ghost Wolves just guarding the Gate at the Counterfeit Money base.

And the one on the far right in the first row, one of Hydra's Snake Heads, the most cold-blooded Technology fanatic, Daniel Whitehall.

Originally, with Daniel Whitehall's Technological Level and Research on Inhumans, he was fully qualified to be selected for Hive Base.

Unfortunately, he chose the wrong person for his Research subject. To achieve Immortality, he had dismembered a Huaguo mutant woman with Immortality Ability and replaced her organs, allowing his aging Body to return to its prime.

Coincidentally, that Huaguo mutant woman was Skye's mother, Boss Tang's cheap mother-in-law.

So Madame Hydra, who had defected to Boss Tang, set a Trap and betrayed Daniel Whitehall to Boss Tang.

Thus, the hundred or so people who emerged from the Hibernation Pods on the platform all had some Origin and destiny, more or less.

As Tang Song waved his hand, these people followed behind Logan, performing the Great Kowtow Ceremony towards the Straw Doll on the Altar, bowing three times and kowtowing nine times.

Without the concealment of the Hell Dimension, Mephisto directly faced the Curse Power of the Nail Head Seven Arrows Book.

The Straw Doll trembled continuously with their repeated thudding kowtows. The Wooden Bow and Wooden Arrow beside Logan also simultaneously burst forth with Golden Light.

Thump, thump, thump. Just as Wolverine Logan raised the Wooden Bow and Wooden Arrow beside him, Mephisto seemed to sense danger.

"Want to kill me? You go to Hell first!"

A warning from the great Consciousness of the Hell Abyss Dimension. Mephisto was furious. His Entire Body surged with incredibly deep Shadow. That Strength surged like Flames, dancing in his palms and spreading out. Every drop could pollute an entire City. As one of the seven rulers of Hell, Mephisto's Strength was a symbolic cornerstone of Hell.

Theoretically, as long as Hell was not destroyed, his Soul would not die, and drawing Strength from Hell would allow him to kill any Rival within the same Dimension.

However, the Price Mephisto paid was to Slumber for a thousand years, or even longer.

"Bang bang bang bang"

The boiling Shadow, amidst Mephisto's wild laughter, helped him break free from the Gloomy Iron Chains formed by the Ghoul White Bone Banner. He backhanded the Silver Armored Corpse pressing down on him, knocking it away, and leaped up, pouncing towards the mountain peak where Tang Song was located.

Mephisto's movement was truly like Mount Tai pressing down. His three to four thousand meter physique, on Earth, would be a true towering mountain.

Just as Mephisto reached out, intending to grab Tang Song and the mountain peak he stood on in his hand and crush them into Dust.

The Air in front of him suddenly shattered into countless mirror-like images. Mephisto watched with his own eyes as the mountain peak, only a step away, moved further and further away from him.

"Ancient One!"

Mephisto realized something. He looked warily at the surrounding images, exerting force with both hands, ready to tear open the Dimensional Space and escape back to Hell.

No matter what the Ancient One was planning, as long as he returned to Hell, under the protection of the Abyss Consciousness, the Ancient One could not kill him.

Just then, a pair of thick silver arms wrapped around Mephisto from behind. Corpse Flame containing thousands of years of Corpse Qi from the Celestial Silver Armored Corpse sprayed onto Mephisto's Head, engulfing his entire being.

Mephisto stumbled, collapsing two mountain peaks, his face corroded by the Silver Armored Corpse's Corpse Flame.

Clang! A huge Ox-Head dragged a three-pronged Sai and heavily stabbed it into the back of Mephisto's Head.

The Sai in Ox-Head's hand directly opened three Blood Holes in the back of Mephisto's Head. Rolling Lava mixed with purplish-black Blood flowed from the back of Mephisto's Head, like three Lava waterfalls.

Mephisto turned his Head to look at Ox-Head, who was raising the three-pronged Sai again, stimulated to the point of near madness. He spread his hands, and Bone Knight Swords appeared in his palms. He raised the Swords and slashed towards Ox-Head.

Clang!

Just as he turned around, behind him, the Celestial Silver Armored Corpse swung a heavy Fist directly at the back of his Head.

"Bang!"

White Impermanence's figure appeared, and his equally gigantic Dirge Cudgel heavily smashed into Mephisto's face, terrifying him and causing sparks to fly everywhere.

Clang, clang—

In Black Impermanence's hand, a thick Soul Locking Chain silently emerged from the Ground, like a slithering Giant Black Python. With a clang, it directly locked Mephisto's ankles.

"$$#^*&^％$^&——"

The enraged Mephisto's Entire Body burned with raging Hellfire. Mephisto, madly drawing Hell Energy, slashed out with a Sword, directly cutting Ox-Head's three-pronged Sai, which was swinging back, into two halves.

The raging Flames at his feet instantly ignited the Soul Locking Chain in Black Impermanence's hand. His Entire Body was enveloped in shadow-like Hellfire.

The Silver Armored Corpse, which was holding him tightly, had half of its entire Body carbonized by the Flames transformed from this Hell Origin Power.

When Mephisto faced a life-or-death Crisis, disregarding everything and truly unleashing the full Strength of a Skyfather level Hell Lord, the Space around him seemed to be annihilated by this Strength.

After Mephisto quickly dealt with the Silver Armored Corpse and several blocking Yin Commanders, he glanced at the surrounding mirrored Space. Without a word, he gathered the Hell Origin Power in his Claws and smashed it fiercely onto this Space sealed by the Ancient One, attempting to escape back to Hell.

This was clearly a Trap set for him. If he continued to fight head-on, he would gain no Benefit.

Mephisto had already realized this! At this moment, Tang Song's figure appeared behind Mephisto.

Mephisto, in his Devil form, sensed something and turned around. His two black Claws expanded wildly. The Strength belonging to the Seven Lords of Hell covered the surface of his Claws. He bared his teeth, making his already ugly face even more hideous. This great Devil lunged at this human before him, who seemed like a mere fly.

"I've always wanted to know if Human strategic Nuclear Weapons have any effect on a Demon of your level!"

Facing Mephisto's attack burning with Hell Origin, Tang Song quickly threw an iron lump at Mephisto's face and quickly made his Earth Escape through the Ancient One's Space Gate.

"Boom!"

A Former Soviet Union-produced, megaton-level Nuclear Warhead exploded above the Head of the Hell Lord Mephisto.

Mephisto's Claws, burning with Hell Origin Flames, grabbed directly at this Nuclear Bomb.

One was Humanity's most powerful Technological Weapon, the other was a Skyfather level Hell Lord.

The collision of their Forces directly Shattered this mirrored Space. The shattered Space Rift cut at the skin of the Old Devil Mephisto.

At the same time, facing the Nuclear Bomb Explosion directly, even a Hell Lord like Mephisto felt a bone-deep pain the moment the Mushroom Cloud rose.

The Force of the Nuclear Bomb Explosion directly blew off Mephisto's pair of Claws, and even half of his Head was blasted away by the direct Force of the Nuclear Bomb.

The battle between Skyfather level Powerful Ones attracted Powerful Ones from many Dimensions. Mephisto's miserable appearance was seen by many onlookers.

Some were gloating, some wanted to take advantage of the situation, and of course, there were those who felt sympathy for a fellow creature's plight. However, none of these Hell Lords or Dimensional Evil Gods offered Mephisto a Helping Hand.

Many of these beings had suffered losses at Mephisto's hands. They wished this insidious Old Devil would die in Midgard.

Furthermore, outside the Earth Dimension, the bald-headed woman in yellow who was drinking Tea was like a Gatekeeper, sealing the Gate to the reality Dimension.

Besides the Ancient One, the obstacle, outside the Nine Realms, a figure riding an eight-legged divine horse was slowly wiping the Gungnir in his hand.

The news that King Odin was about to enter Ragnarök was not a secret in various Dimensions. It was well known that the Deities of Asgard increased their Strength as they aged.

No one wanted to test what kind of Strength the God King of Asgard possessed before entering Ragnarök.

Although the Nuclear Bomb Explosion severely injured the unprepared Mephisto, it clearly did not kill the Old Devil.

Seeing the mirrored Space set up by the Ancient One shatter, Mephisto tore open the Dimensional Space once again. This time, he saw the scorching Lava volcanoes on the other side as he wished, and saw his Demonic Palace Castle hidden among the volcanoes.

At the same time, Wolverine Logan drew his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at the Straw Doll with Mephisto's name written on it on the Long Table. As his finger holding the bowstring released, a Wooden Arrow accurately hit the Straw Doll's Forehead.

Boom!

Just as Mephisto was about to step through the torn Dimensional Rift and return to his Hell Dimension, the vigorous Hellfire in his eyes instantly dimmed, as if a candle flame had been blown out in a Gale.

Then his massive Body crashed to the Ground with a thunderous sound, like gold and jade collapsing.

The Ground within hundreds of miles shook violently.

Under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes, Mephisto, this Dimensional Evil God and Hell Lord who had resided in Hell for countless thousands of years, had his Soul completely dissipate.

A strange Curse Power directly severed his Contact with the Hell Origin.

This strange Curse targeting Destiny and Soul was like an eraser, effortlessly wiping Mephisto's Soul from the Hell Dimension and the entire Marvel Universe.

At the same time, following Mephisto's Soul Imprint, this strange Curse Power also wiped out the tens of thousands of Split Soul Backup Plans he had hidden in dozens of Dimensions, including the real world, remote areas of the Milky Way Galaxy, and unknown Planets.
