Chapter 63 - 63

Li Chengfeng released Constantine without any psychological burden.

Although this guy would betray and run away, he was smart.

He wouldn't do something like running away in front of others because the success rate was too low. Constantine's greatest strength was his self-awareness.

"Cough, cough, cough. You're really ruthless. You actually used that strange green light to form a cylinder and stuff it into my mouth… The sensation reminded me of my ex-boyfriend before my last one."

"Damn it, I didn't release you to hear you make lewd jokes."

Li Chengfeng wasn't interested in Constantine's pansexual romantic history.

He was more curious about who… was inside the Warden's Office building?

Or rather, what was it?

But Li Chengfeng knew that whatever it was, its status couldn't be low, otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to take down Thor.

And Hela had also said that the one who created the divine counter-magic array was definitely a higher-level existence.

For Hela to say that, it meant this existence was at least a dimension lord of Mephisto's level.

It might even be an existence above Heavenly Father-level.

If it were in some well-known locations, he might have been able to guess which great god it was based on experience.

But this was Fox River Prison!

The most evil thing here was T-bag.

"I just wanted to lighten the mood…" Even with a swollen face, Constantine lit a cigarette, and after exhaling a puff of smoke, he said the second half of his sentence, "After all, if nothing unexpected happens, we're about to be finished."

Li Chengfeng frowned.

Finished?

If even a scumbag like Constantine was so desperate…

Then who was inside the Warden's building?

"Since you sensed the existence inside the Warden's building, then you should have also sensed the one in the cell, right?"

"Yes, is the one in the cell your person?" After asking, Constantine slapped his forehead, "Damn it, that fire-wielding bastard hit too hard just now. I definitely have a concussion… I should have realized that since you came out, it means the one in the cell is your person."

"With her, do we have a chance?"

"Do you think that when facing an entire Universe, even one more 'God' would affect the outcome?"

Li Chengfeng was not very satisfied with Constantine's answer.

According to him, his mission would be impossible to complete, at least in the short term.

Although the system mission had no time limit and no failure penalty, Li Chengfeng knew that the best method was actually to retreat first.

There would be plenty of time in the future.

But Li Chengfeng felt suffocated; at that moment, he even wanted to directly summon the Kansas Big Guy.

"That human magician, stop being an alarmist."

Just as Li Chengfeng was conflicted between retreating and not retreating, a majestic female voice came from behind him.

It was Hela, Goddess of Death, looking refreshed after beating up her brother.

And the two men supporting each other behind her were her unfortunate brothers.

Li Chengfeng truly hadn't expected that Hela's beating would directly forge a brotherly bond between the two.

Fists truly were a good thing.

Constantine subconsciously wanted to refute Hela, but he immediately realized that this was another existence worthy of being called "God."

"Noble Goddess, although I don't know your identity, I truly wasn't being an alarmist just now. I can sense that it is an existence from outside our Universe. Such dimension lords are omniscient and invincible existences in the dimensions they rule." Constantine explained, "And just when Agent Li grabbed me, I already sensed that existence had broken through the boundaries of the Universe and infiltrated its power into our Universe. At this very moment, at least within this prison, it has been covered by another Universe."

"It's nothing more than a bit of energy escaping from a rift."

Hela pouted; she had seen many dimension lords.

They could manipulate time and reality at will, and reshape their own Universe in the blink of an eye.

But that was only the case in their own homes.

Once they left, at most, they were Heavenly Father-level.

For example, after Mephisto left the Hell Dimension, he had many conflicts with the original Asgard. Both Odin, that old man, and she herself had fought Mephisto.

He was strong, but he could be defeated.

This human magician was still too young.

"Hela, what you just said… are you sure?"

Li Chengfeng stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

Hela's answer would determine whether his mission could be completed this time.

"At most, Heavenly Father-level."

Hela was absolutely certain.

Even the most powerful dimension lords and plane demons had to pay a price for their omnipotence in their home territories.

Hearing this, Li Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed Hela's thoughts were the same as his.

With Hela's recovered strength and Li Chengfeng's current abilities, facing an ordinary Heavenly Father-level expert together should not be a problem.

"You… how can you be so sure it's just escaped power?"

Constantine frowned and questioned the Death Goddess.

Even a man with no bottom line like him, when his most proud domain was refuted, would choose to argue to the end, despite his usual slickness.

"Because if it truly was a dimension lord who had used some means to overlap and cover this area with their dimension, then we wouldn't have even had a chance to speak just now; we would have been directly reduced to nothingness by the guy ruling that dimension, as if we had never existed." Hela had now walked to Li Chengfeng's side and stood firm, pulling Li Chengfeng into her embrace with unparalleled dominance, "My God Queen, you don't have to worry. Besides my theory, the most obvious evidence is that you were still able to cast a teleportation spell just now."

Li Chengfeng was stunned; it seemed to make sense.

He was no longer the novice who had just mastered teleportation magic but couldn't distinguish between dimension teleportation and ordinary teleportation.

Ordinary teleportation portals could only connect two locations within the same dimension.

This indicated that the prison definitely still belonged to the current dimension.

"But don't get too happy too soon. Although this human magician's judgment was wrong, there's a reason for it." Hela lowered her head and whispered to Li Chengfeng, "Someone in this prison has collected divine artifacts or items related to this dimension lord. Through powers of the same origin, the descending dimension lord might become even stronger."

"Why do you also like to speak in suspense?"

Li Chengfeng was a bit exasperated.

In other words, the enemy might not be an ordinary Heavenly Father-level, but a peak Heavenly Father-level, right?

After hesitating for a moment, he heard Coulson's voice in the communicator again.

"Li! Are you alright? Skye and Ingrid just found a rapidly expanding energy entity at Fox River Prison!"

"You detected it too?" Li Chengfeng was surprised, "How strong is it?"

"The distance is too far, and the monitoring equipment cannot perform detailed measurements, but all indicators are higher than when Hela, Goddess of Death, entered FBI Headquarters."

This information, timely relayed by Coulson, confirmed that there was a Heavenly Father-level expert stronger than the current Hela in the Warden's building.

Looking at his teammates behind him, Li Chengfeng sighed.

Forget it, he couldn't drag his undeveloped teammates into this level of battle prematurely.

Just as he opened his mouth to give the order to retreat, the green lantern power battery suddenly appeared in Li Chengfeng's hand, making him swallow the words he was about to say.

He hadn't summoned the green lantern power battery to charge his ring, had he?

"Guardian, that place… is related to the power of the Emotional Spectrum."

A tender voice sounded from the green lantern power battery.

Li Chengfeng was truly stunned this time.

What? Why could his green lantern power battery speak? Had it gained sentience?

And it was a young boy's voice.

He quickly picked up the green lantern power battery, but there was no sign of it transforming to repay a favor, was there?

"…Please don't imagine those dirty scenes in your mind, okay? I'm still a child!"

What did that mean? They were connected mentally?

Li Chengfeng looked through the small window of the green lantern power battery and indeed saw the tiny Ion Shark excitedly circling.

A very human-like expression appeared on its small, delicate head.

If Li Chengfeng wasn't mistaken… this expression was called "speechless."

"You are Ion Shark?"

"Yes, dear Guardian, it is I."

"You just said that this so-called 'dimension lord' is related to the Emotional Spectrum?"

"Yes."

"Then all the more reason I can't go! A peak Heavenly Father-level expert with Emotional Spectrum power, am I sending my team members to their Deaths?"

"I can offer you help, but I am too young right now. At most, I can merge with you for one minute…"

Merge?

Merge with Ion Shark?

Li Chengfeng slapped his forehead.

That's right! He had a trump card like the Lantern Beast!

Even if it was only for one minute…

Li Chengfeng immediately made a decision.

"Ada, you, Harley, and the Wanda siblings, escort these three criminals back to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and stand by."

"Hela, Loki, come with me to confront that damn lord."

After Li Chengfeng finished speaking, he opened a portal.

Although Ada Wong and Harley Quinn expressed concern in their eyes, they also understood that this level of battle was not something mere mortals like them could get involved in.

So they chose to obey Li Chengfeng's command.

After sending off his teammates, Li Chengfeng looked at Thor and asked:

"Don't you want to see the guy who imprisoned you here?"

"After I see him, can I punch him?"

"Of course you can."

"Then let's go."

Hela, seeing that her brother seemed to have become a bit more normal after a beating, simply handed mjolnir back to Thor.

Thor's condition immediately recovered, and with a "boom," he smashed a large hole in the outer wall of the cell.

What came into view was the Warden's building.

However, that building, also Victorian in style, had now completely turned blood-red.

And a giant figure now stood in front of the building's entrance, also entirely blood-red.

"I have been waiting for a long time, you ants."

"You will despairingly cry out my true name in Death, my name is…"

"Crimson Lord, Setorak!"
