Chapter 154 - Chapter 154: War Begins

Mephisto looked at Andrew and asked, "Young Demon King, you seem very surprised? Isn't it natural for Demon Lords to kill each other?"

"That's not what I'm surprised about."

Andrew shook his head. He looked at the Space Stone and said, "What surprises me is that those Demon Lords are so stupid as to connect New York with your Hell. Don't they know that you are best at backstabbing?"

"You seem to have misunderstood a bit."

Mephisto said, "Young Demon King, do you think this plan was conceived and executed jointly by the Demon Lords?"

Andrew asked, "Isn't it? The Beast died at your hands, and you even teamed up to show off to me and the Sorcerer Supreme."

"Of course not. How could Demon Lords cooperate wholeheartedly? In fact, I stopped cooperating with those bastards a long time ago."

Mephisto cursed, "Those bastards always backstab me every time we cooperate. If only they had a little bit of foresight, I would have taken down Earth a long time ago. How could Ancient One be so arrogant until now? Alas, Hell is unfortunate to have a group of selfish Demon Lords."

"Mephisto, how dare you say that? Aren't you the one who backstabs companions the most?"

Lucifer cursed from the void, "Hundreds of years ago, during the Great Fire of London, if you hadn't run off to find Ghost Rider halfway through, how could we have failed?"

"Exactly. Three hundred years ago, during that plague, we agreed to deal with Ancient One together, but you sent a powerless projection."

"And a hundred years ago, we agreed to lure the Kamar-Taj mages into corruption, but you acted on your own, causing Ancient One to destroy several of our projections."

The other Demon Lords also cursed, clearly, they had all been tricked by Mephisto.

"The number of times you backstabbed me is 1.2 times more than the number of times I backstabbed you, okay?"

Mephisto shouted discontentedly, "You always say I'm the most shameless Demon Lord in Hell, but in fact, you are even more shameless than me."

"With one person's strength matching all Demon Lords, if anyone says Mephisto has shame again, I, Marduk, will be the first to disagree."

"Agreed."

"Seconded."

"Plus one."

Looking at the arguing Demon Lords, Andrew was speechless. He was indeed too young. He actually regarded the Demon Lords as a profound and cunning entity. In fact, they were just a pile of loose sand, a group of loose sand who backstabbed their own people every day.

Hell has never been a whole. The Demon Lords only care about their own interests. It is impossible for them to cooperate sincerely.

Andrew sighed, "Sorcerer Supreme, I understand what you mean. One Demon Lord is a dragon, a group of Demon Lords are a bunch of worms."

"The essence of Hell Demon King is chaos and evil. They are not only selfish, but also particularly fond of harming others without benefiting themselves."

Ancient One said, "Every time they besiege me, I'm very happy, because there's another good show to watch."

Andrew complained, "Sorcerer Supreme, you could have told me this earlier. I've been on guard for so long for nothing, I even got an extra white hair."

"Without witnessing it firsthand, the impression won't be deep."

Ancient One said, "Andrew, if you choose the path of chaos and evil, you will become like them. Demon King and Hell influence each other."

Andrew said, "No thanks, chaos has always produced clowns. I'm so handsome, I don't want to become a clown, that would be a loss for all humanity."

Ancient One chuckled, and continued to watch the show. The show on Earth was getting better and better.

"Stop arguing, you bunch of failures, just wait and watch my performance."

Mephisto cursed impatiently, then he continued to Andrew, "Back to the main topic, the Beast was indeed killed by us together, but after that, we disbanded directly and went our separate ways.

In fact, after disappearing from your sight, we even fought over the Beast's legacy."

"Do you have to be that quick?"

Andrew complained, when they killed the Beast, the Hell Demon Lords were very imposing, but in a blink of an eye, those bastards started to kill each other.

"That's how fast it is. Demon Lord backstabbing never picks a day, it just backstabs when it backstabs."

Mephisto laughed, "In short, we didn't unite. All Demon Lords carried out their own plans around the Beast as a catalyst.

For example, Nightmare, he planned to let Jason, Freddy, Pinhead, and other monsters well-known on Earth enter New York to create panic, accumulate fear, and then summon him to descend in dreams.

As a result, this plan was aborted as soon as it began, because you directly sealed Jason, and Nightmare was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, and all his subsequent plans were designed in vain."

Andrew said, "It seems I sealed him correctly."

"Of course, his plans were full of flaws and could not succeed at all, only wasting everyone's time."

Mephisto looked disdainful. He continued, "The power of the Evil God was Lucifer's plan. He originally wanted to create a great chaos to let the Beast escape. However, his judgment in choosing people was too poor. Norman Osborn and Shredder successively exposed themselves, and his plan came to nothing."

Andrew said, "Those two people like to show off too much."

"Just like Lucifer, that guy is very vain, and needs a hundred maids to comb his feathers every day."

Mephisto said, "Marduk's plan was demon summoning, but as soon as his followers entered New York, they were shot into sieves by your people. I won't mention the others, they are all failures anyway.

Only I am the successful one. I contacted Thanos through Loki. He told me that the Space Stone was in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hands. So, I cooperated with him and set the plan of plane superposition."

It is worth mentioning that Thanos's request for helping Mephisto was that the Space Stone would belong to him, and that he would borrow the Time Stone in the future.

Andrew asked, "Plane superposition?"

"Yes, plane superposition."

Mephisto said proudly, "The Space Stone is very powerful. In order to protect the global magic array, Ancient One cannot stop me, and you are no match for me at all.

When I devour all the souls in New York, I will drag the entire Earth into Hell. Young Demon King, I'm sorry, I won."

"Mephisto, don't be so smug. The one who laughs last is the real winner."

Andrew snorted coldly. Mephisto was so happy that he almost felt bad telling him the truth. What if he died of anger directly? Should he set off firecrackers to celebrate, or hold a party to celebrate with the whole world?

Uh, is New York allowed to set off firecrackers?

"Besides me, who else can laugh last?"

Mephisto said arrogantly, "Young Demon King, I'll give you a chance to surrender, otherwise, don't blame me for bullying a newcomer. After devouring Earth, your position in Hell will no longer be a secret."

"Surrender?"

Andrew sneered, "With you? Mephisto, let's see the real deal. It just so happens that I haven't beaten a Demon Lord yet."

"A newborn calf fears no tiger. Very good, I, Mephisto, love to teach newcomers the most."

Mephisto chuckled. He was about to make a move when he suddenly sensed something, his face darkened, and he roared, "You bastards, how dare you attack my Hell at this time?"

In Mephistos Hell, several large vortices appeared out of thin air in the sky, and a large number of organized Hell demons descended from the sky, launching an attack on the native demons.

It was none other than Lucifer and the other Hell Demon Lords who made the move.

"Isn't this natural?"

Lucifer said righteously, "Mephisto, with us here, you can't become Satan."

"That's right, Mephisto, we would rather let Ancient One and the New Demon King win than let you devour Earth and become Satan."

The other Demon Lords also said, "If they win, at most everything will return to normal. If you win, our lives will be worse than death from now on."

Why has there been no Satan in Hell for so many years? The reason is simple: once someone tries to become Satan, the other Demon Lords will stop them at all costs.

No one wants another Officer to be above them.

Nightmare said, "Mephisto, if you are willing to let us into Earth, then everything is negotiable."

Mephisto cursed, "Dream on, you bastards, when I become Satan, I will hang you at the gate of Hell for exhibition."

"Wait until you become Satan."

The Demon Lords sneered, with us here, you absolutely cannot become Satan.

"What a harmonious and loving group of Hell Demon Lords."

Andrew sighed and asked Alice, "Alice, do you think I should change the name of Hell to distinguish myself from those Demon Lords? I feel so ashamed."

Alice said, "BOSS, I think we can consider it."

"That's right, it's too shameful to be mentioned in the same breath as those guys. I also want to change the name of Hell, and from now on, it will be called Mephisto's Underworld."

Mephisto also agreed. The group of Demon Lords sneered, "Isn't the most shameful one you, Mephisto?"

"Young Demon King, don't be happy yet."

Mephisto ignored the Demon Lords. He sneered at Andrew, "Those bastards won't try too hard, and more importantly, I don't need to use all my strength to deal with you."

"Let's talk after the fight."

Andrew cast a spell with both hands, bringing Mephisto into the Mirror Dimension to avoid turning New York into ruins.

Mephisto sneered, "A dignified Demon Lord, learning Kamar-Taj's magic, isn't that shameful?"

Andrew asked, "If it were you, would you learn it?"

Mephisto said as a matter of course, "Nonsense, of course I would."

"I was wrong, I shouldn't have expected you to have any shame."

Andrew complained. He raised his right hand, and curses such as weakening, blindness, chaos, frenzy, distortion, and wilting turned into a torrent that surged fiercely towards Mephisto.

"Why is your curse magic more powerful than mine? This is not magic."

Mephisto raised his staff, and a flesh shield demon appeared out of thin air in front of him, taking all the curses.

Andrew didn't care. He raised his hand, and a metallic figure suddenly appeared in the sky. Then, the metallic figure opened its faceplate, and a black flame beam as thick as a bucket slammed towards Mephisto.

"Destroyer!"

Mephisto raised his staff to block in front of him, and was rapidly pushed back by the Destroyer's beam. Then, a large number of tall buildings were split in half by the flame beam, collapsing with a rumble.

In just one round, a street was destroyed.

"No wonder you're so confident, it turns out you've refined Odin's Destroyer."

Mephisto snorted coldly, turning his staff into Hells Gate to block the flame beam. Then, he stomped his foot hard, and countless demons appeared around him, roaring and charging towards Andrew.

These were not real demons; they were puppets evolved by Mephisto's magic.

Andrew flew into the sky and merged with the Destroyer. Then, he raised his hands, and two beams of flame roared out, turning the surrounding demons and buildings into ashes at the same time.

"The Destroyer is indeed powerful, but you are not Odin, and you can't even unleash half of the Destroyer's power."

Mephisto reverted to his five-meter-tall demon form, and a claw with monstrous flames fiercely grabbed at the Destroyer. The Mirror Dimension could not withstand his power, and five black cracks appeared.

"So what? It's enough to kill you."

Andrew punched Mephisto's claw, and with a boom, a wave of flame swept around, and a large number of buildings shattered, falling to the ground with a crackling sound.

The two Hell Demon Lords officially began their battle.

"My Destroyer."

With such a big event happening on Earth, Odin naturally paid attention immediately. Seeing Andrew control the Destroyer to fight Mephisto, he was so angry that his teeth ached.

"Thor, Loki isn't dead, he's on Earth. Go bring him back, and save Earth while you're at it."

Odin shouted to Thor. In fact, he knew very well that Earth didn't need saving—Ancient One and the New Demon King were clearly setting a trap for Mephisto.

Odin's purpose in sending Thor was to save Loki. One is not a plant; after raising him for thousands of years, how could he not have any feelings at all?

"What, Loki isn't dead?"

Thor was first overjoyed, then asked in astonishment, "Wait, Father, aren't you in Odin's Sleep? How do you know what's happening on Earth?"

"That's not important."

Odin was a bit embarrassed. He said, "I will use my remaining power to teleport you to Earth. This will worsen my injuries and make me unconscious for a longer time. You must bring Loki back."

Thor was deeply moved and patted his chest, assuring him, "Father, don't worry, I will definitely bring Loki back."

"Go."

Odin waved the Eternal Spear, and Thor disappeared in a colorful light.

Odin couldn't help but shake his head, "This silly boy, he didn't even ask how to get back. He probably didn't think about it at all."

New York had now become Hell, with corpses and blood everywhere. Although the Superheroes were working very hard, what made them despair was that the demons were multiplying.

Tony, while fighting the flaming Balrog with War Machine, used his communicator to question Nick Fury, "Nick Fury, why are demons appearing in New York? Is it related to S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

"This guy's intuition is really accurate."

Nick Fury cursed, and said, "It might be related to the Tesseract. Dr. Selvig is awake, he said Loki stole the Tesseract."

"I knew it was your fault."

Tony cursed, and said, "Jarvis, control all city cameras, search for Loki and the Tesseract. This can't go on, we must stop the demons from appearing."

It is worth mentioning that the location of the magic array was sealed by Andrew using space magic, so others could not see the magic array and the Tesseract.
