Chapter 501: The Unlucky Mephisto

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Under Roy’s wish to hear the details, Mephisto hesitated a little but still told him about the trouble he had encountered.

Mephisto, known as the King of Hatred, was recognized as a big boss-level demon in the Abyss, Heaven, and the human worlds. This was without a doubt. His resounding name spread across many worlds, and his dark believers were all over the Infinite Worlds.

Demon kings of this level could be said to be able to fight wherever they wanted and destroy wherever they wanted. It was difficult to find an opponent in the Infinite Worlds, but this did not seem to be the case.

As the saying went, if you walked by the river often, how could you not wet your shoes? If you walked too much at night, you would encounter ghosts… These words were probably used to describe Mephisto.

After becoming a demon king, due to their powerful strength and destructive power, it would be difficult for the demon kings to descend into some worlds. Especially in low-energy worlds, if people wanted to summon demon king-level demons, they would have to organize a large-scale sacrificial ritual with hundreds of thousands or even millions of souls as the price. Only then would they be able to break through the restraints of the world effect and let demon king-level demons go to these worlds.

But such sacrificial rituals were easier said than done. The dark cults that believed in demons were the target of detestation by everyone in various worlds, not to mention that there were angels monitoring them from behind. In the long years of the Abyss, the number of demon kings that could be summoned by large-scale sacrifices was countable with one hand.

Low-energy worlds had too strong a repulsive force against demon kings. High -energy worlds were relatively better because the psionic powers of the mystical side could be used by the general public. And if too much psionic power was used, it would naturally interfere with the stability of the world effect. Thus, high-energy worlds often had many exploitable loopholes, and it was not too much of a problem for demon kings to descend in their true bodies. Therefore, the stronger the demon, the more they liked to go to these high-energy worlds.

However, there were advantages and disadvantages. The demon kings could take advantage of the loopholes to go to high-energy worlds, but the opponents they had to face were also not comparable to those of low-energy worlds. In worlds with highly active psionic powers, the strength that intelligent life could grasp would also be stronger. Various mages, warlocks, astrologers, and so on would emerge one after another, and the best of them were so powerful that they could even defeat gods!

Such a situation seemed to be a kind of rule in and of itself, so even an old demon king like Mephisto did not dare to say that he could really run amuck across the various worlds.

In the past few thousand years, Mephisto’s life had not been going smooth. He and his clones had chosen to go to several high-energy worlds, but they had all encountered powerful opponents without exception…

“The first world I went to was relatively special!” Mephisto said gloomily. “This world has many parallel universes. I thought that I could get a good harvest there, but I didn’t expect there to be a group of powerful mages in the main world. The leader is a guy named the Ancient One. He has a different image in many parallel universes, but the only similarity is that they all have power comparable to gods. He is called the Sorcerer Supreme and is the guardian of the main world…

Upon hearing the name Ancient One, Roy immediately realized that Mephisto should be referring to the Marvel world. No wonder he said that there were many parallel universes there. This was definitely the Marvel world.

“Originally, with my physical strength, I wouldn’t have lost to the Sorcerer Supreme!” Mephisto sighed. “But the troublesome thing is that this world has a very special kind of gem, Infinity Stones! There are a total of six Infinity Stones, and each one is as powerful as the power of the Creator. And the Sorcerer Supreme just happens to have the Time Stone. I fought him a few times, but I could only retreat under the power of the Time Stone…”

“Don’t tell me you’re inviting me to this world?” Roy frowned. ‘Even you can’t defeat the Sorcerer Supreme. Do you think we could just by joining forces?”

Mephisto shook his head. “Of course not. Don’t misunderstand. What I want to invite you to isn’t this strange world. To be honest, the power of the Sorcerer Supreme is too strong. Moreover, it’s said that there are existences stronger than the Sorcerer Supreme outside the universe. I don’t think I can do much in this world, so I only left a clone there in the end and let the clone stay there to see if there would be other opportunities in the future…”

Roy shrugged and did not answer. Of course, he could tell that Mephisto was being sincere. Indeed, there were many powerful existences in the Marvel world. Things like Thanos and the Celestials were even more powerful than the Sorcerer Supreme…

The titans were a genesis race born together with angels and demons, and many titans were even more outstanding than angels and demons. If Mephisto really wanted to do something in that world, it was impossible for him not to put in a great deal of effort.

But after this conversation, Roy roughly understood what the trouble Mephisto mentioned was. A great demon king was being suppressed by a human, and he could not wantonly destroy the entire world. He could only hide in the main world and rely on signing contracts to play with people’s hearts, create the Ghost Rider to find some fun for himself, or take in a son. Then when his ambitious son rebelled against him, he would release the Ghost Rider to beat his son up…

This kind of elderly life that Mephisto could only use to entertain himself was really worrying for him, right?

As expected, Mephisto then talked about the situation of the clone he had left in the Marvel world after he left, seemingly wanting to pour out his grievances to Roy.

“After returning to the Abyss, I stayed for a while. But although it was comfortable staying in this dark and boundless Abyss, it was really boring…” Mephisto said. “So later, I went to another world. In this world, my two brothers Diablo and Baal have been fighting against the Archangels of the High Heavens. I thought it would be good to go and have some exercise with the Archangels. Some of us old friends haven’t seen each other for a long time, and we missed each other a lot…

“Diablo? Baal?” Roy understood and said speechlessly, “Don’t tell me you want to say that the situation wasn’t good after you went?”

Mephisto stomped the ground with his cane and said bitterly, “That’s right! Not long after I went to this world, my two brothers and I were tragically sealed one after another. Although this seal didn’t trap us for long, it was simply a humiliation to us demon kings! Those damn angels used humans and got them to seal us with the Black Soulstone!”

“It looks like you escaped in the end…” Roy looked at him and rubbed his chin.

“But you left another clone there?”

“I was able to escape because I left a clone!” Mephisto said with a dark expression. “I understand that creating a clone will cause harm, but I didn’t want to stay in the seal forever…”

“What about your two brothers, Diablo and Baal?” Roy asked. “Are they still sealed?”

The reason why Roy asked this was to figure out the current time in the Diablo world.

“During this period, my brother Diablo escaped from the seal once!” Mephisto said. “That was because he had a backup plan. He had a daughter with human blood. With the help of this bloodline descendent, he escaped from the seal and led the demons to counterattack the High Heavens. But just as he was about to destroy the Crystal Arch, Archangel Tyrael stopped him… Now, he’s sealed in the Black Soulstone again…”

“Uh…” Roy was a little speechless. He felt that Mephisto and his two brothers were really suffering in this world. They were always in the cycle of being sealed, breaking the seal, and then being sealed again…

Although he really wanted to mock them, Roy roughly understood a little about the current time of the Diablo world. It was probably in the latter parts of

Diablo 3. During the time that Mephisto left and came to the Abyss, the angel

Malthael had already started to play tricks, right? In that case, the Black Soulstone sealing Diablo and the others would probably be unsealed again, right?

After telling his general story, Mephisto focused his gaze on Roy. “I believe you can tell. Yes, I came to find you this time precisely because of this matter. My brothers and I, the three demon kings, joined forces, but we were still unable to deal with this world. Instead, we seemed to have fallen into a strange loop. Every time we wanted to do something, the angels and humans would always destroy it, so I was wondering if I should introduce more variables to intervene and prevent the evolution of this world from continuing like this!”

“Why did you think of looking for me?” Roy asked curiously. “I don’t believe that an old demon king like you can’t contact other demon kings to help you.”

Mephisto narrowed his eyes, and a golden-red light flashed in them. At this moment, he had already regained his gentlemanly bearing. “The clone named Rodin gave me his memories. This is one of the reasons. And the other more important reason is actually Lilith!”

“Lilith?!” Roy was slightly shocked. “Why is she involved?”

“Hmph. Do you think ordinary humans have the power to defeat us?” Mephisto snorted coldly and said hatefully, “Isn’t it all because of what Lilith did back then! She also descended into this world. I don’t know if it was her clone or her main body, but she mated with an angel and created a new bloodline in this world: the nephalem! They are humans with the power of angels and demons and have great potential. After growing up, they’ve already become a huge obstacle! Although Lilith was exiled later, those humans who regarded her as their mother are actually plotting to summon her back…

“And you, Osiris!” Mephisto pointed at Roy. “You should have come into contact with Lilith, right? From the moment I entered your territory, I sensed the aura of Lilith’s Red Sea Egg. It’s right below your territory!”

“That’s right. The Red Sea Egg is with me! ” Roy nodded. He knew that since Mephisto said so, he could indeed sense the aura of the Red Sea Egg. “It seems like your true purpose in looking for me is this Red Sea Egg?”

“Yes!” Mephisto nodded. “You may not be too clear, but the Red Sea Egg in your hand is actually Lilith’s placenta! At least, it’s one of her placentas! Lilith used it to give birth to the nephalem, so if I want to eliminate those damn angel and demon hybrids, it is necessary to use the Red Sea Egg! Osiris, bring it and go with me to this world. I promise you that after destroying this world and occupying the High Heavens, you will obtain the spoils of war you deserve!” “You… want me to fight Lilith?” Roy looked at him strangely. “Are you serious?”

“Whether Lilith can descend into this world again depends on you and me.. As long as we destroy the entire world before those damn humans summon her again, she will never be able to return!”
