During the confrontation, a circular portal with sparks appeared behind Leon. Out of it stepped the Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One, who was wearing a mage robe and a hood, with the Eye of Agamotto and the Time Gem around her neck. Not only that, but a terrifying flash of divine power also exploded in the sky as the aura of the Asgardian God-King, Thor, emerged.
The sudden intervention of the Ancient One and the Asgardian God-King Odin—who showed his aura but had not yet arrived—made the original situation unpredictable. Mephisto's heart was truly a mix of emotions; he wanted to cry but had no tears, and his expression was extremely ugly. Seeing the Ancient One, who had beaten him up before, now standing with Leon, who was currently beating him up, the picture didn't look right no matter how he saw it. Not to mention Odin, the former battle maniac. Although he hadn't arrived yet, the violent thunder served as a warning. It was obvious that once the war started, Odin would appear without hesitation and fight side by side with Leon and the Ancient One.
Well, this has stirred up a hornet's nest.
Mephisto did not expect that the Ancient One and Odin would be so supportive of Leon. The Ancient One's own strength was already immense, and she had the entire Mage Alliance behind her. Odin represented all of Asgard. If the three parties—the Ancient One, Asgard, and the Saint Seiya Corps Leon had cultivated—were to join forces against Hell, Mephisto shuddered just thinking about it.
It wasn't a matter of whether they would win or not. If Heaven, that troublesome realm, could stay quiet, Mephisto would chop off his own head and kick it like a ball.
Leon was a little surprised by the appearance of the Ancient One and Odin. He really didn't expect the two to go all in like this. The Ancient One's move was understandable, but as for Odin, once this war started and these demon lords were defeated, Odin would probably have to make a deal on the spot.
Odin likely didn't care at all; in fact, he might be looking forward to the start of this war. It would allow him to have a good fight before his death and also repay a favor. The relationship between Asgard and Leon would become closer. He was killing two birds with one stone.
Mephisto and the other demon lords were a little scared. These three maniacs, who didn't seem to care about their lives, were like bombs that could explode at any time. Once they got a little excited, there was no telling if they could stop. It was hard to say how many people would die. At the very least, no one knew how many people Odin, that monster, could take with him before he died, and they didn't want to gamble.
So, these demon lords immediately cast a warning look at Mephisto. It was good enough that they were willing to support him. What? Do you really want us to fight with you? Don't think that carrying the name of Satan makes you so great.
Mephisto felt the malicious eyes staring at him and secretly gritted his teeth. These guys who bully the weak and fear the strong really deserve to die. But Mephisto knew he had to express his attitude. So he decisively and in a deep voice, expressed his apology: "I am willing to apologize for my mistakes and offer compensation. This war should not continue." He hinted wildly, "There will be no winners in this war."
The thunder in the sky was still loud. The Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One, was playing with the folding fan in her hand, showing no intention of expressing her opinion. Her meaning was very clear: the power to decide was in Leon's hands. If Leon wanted to start a war, she and Odin would support him without hesitation.
Leon had no intention of killing Mephisto from the beginning. His purpose was very pure: just to force this old thing to put enough pressure on him to make him improve. After the victory, asking for compensation was a secondary matter. Killing Mephisto was not in his current interest. Heaven was watching covetously. Once the situation became unbalanced and Hell was swallowed up, Heaven would set its sights on Earth.
Leon hated both demons and angels. Unlike the great and sacred beings described in the Bible, real angels were more like a group of mythical versions of politics, conspiracy, calculation, and self-interest. Unless it was absolutely necessary, it was better to maintain the current balance. Time was on his side.
So, when faced with Mephisto's surrender, Leon's mouth curved, and his eyes flashed with the light of a greedy lion. Mephisto's heart sank, and a bad feeling arose.
"Did I hear that right?" On the beach beside an elegant lake, a luxurious off-road RV had tables, chairs, and other utensils set up in front of it. Amy, wearing a blue turtleneck sweater, picked up two glasses of juice and looked at her son, who was slowly grilling meat, with a look that said, "You're kidding me."
In the lake, Lily and Dean, two little kids, were sitting on a small wooden boat, paddling very hard with small wooden paddles. A large Alaskan dog was lying on the boat, and two furry heads were sticking out to look at the water, seeming very interested.
"Why is our boat spinning in place? Dean, are you being lazy?"
"No, I'm not. I'm paddling very hard."
"Well, it must be Pudding and Black Panther. You two are too heavy. I think you need to lose weight."
"Yeah, I think so too."
The boat successfully spun in place under the "efforts" of the two little kids, which made little Lily very dissatisfied. After Dean's rebuttal, little Lily finally threw the responsibility on the two confused big dogs. The big dogs showed aggrieved expressions. ??? But who made this their dear little master? They could only spoil him.
Ignoring the little ones who were having fun in the water, Amy watched her son nod, and she was immediately stunned. She was so shocked that she almost couldn't hold the two glasses of juice in her hands.
"This is truly crazy." Amy came back to her senses after a while and marveled at her son.
Nearby, Li Xiang, who had just finished frying a steak, put it on a plate, turned off the fire, and placed it on the table not far away. Then he walked over and hugged his wife, kissing her lightly. He took the two glasses of juice from Amy's hands and said with a smile, "You should get used to it, dear."
"Well, I really should take some time to get used to it. Breaking into hell, fighting a legendary devil, and almost starting a war with powerful demons with names and titles. And in the end, the devil couldn't bear the pressure, gave in, and paid a lot of compensation to be forgiven." Amy muttered, spreading her hands. "Believe me, if I tell Becca and the others, they will definitely think I'm crazy."
"This is really hard to believe, but it's a pity that I didn't witness that kind of battle scene with my own eyes," Li Xiang said with regret.
