Chapter 38 Mephisto, Let's Negotiate (Please continue reading)
Crimson energy emanated from Mephisto's head, repairing his injuries, and his distorted face gradually returned to normal.
He was a little stunned by the blow.
How come you, a mage, are so strong in melee combat?
If you're so good in close combat, why did you run away just now?
Click click click!
Centered on Mephisto, the surrounding space twisted and shattered in concentric rings.
The mirrored spaces overlapped one after another, completely surrounding Mephisto.
Further away, runes belonging to the Kamar-Taj symbol appeared.
Three enormous magic arrays, distributed in three different directions, are about to connect with each other.
At that time, the heavens and the earth will be sealed off, and Mephisto will have nowhere to escape.
Just like Russell before.
Mephisto, regaining his senses, flew at top speed toward the gap in the magic circle.
Now He realized that He had been ambushed.
Master Gu Yi waved his folding fan.
Suddenly, space ahead of Mephisto warped, causing his flight path to deviate.
Russell seized the opportunity, arriving late but arriving early to intercept Mephisto.
"Old Mo, didn't you want to fight me in close combat?"
Seeing that the plan was going smoothly and the situation was very good, Russell couldn't help but tease Mephisto.
"Come, let us meet in this death!"
Mephisto roared and charged at Russell, clearly ready to fight to the death.
He's gambling!
Russell will bet on the sidelines.
As a noble dimensional lord, all His activities outside are avatars.
The death of an important clone is certainly a serious blow, but it is not death.
These two mages are the true form.
They are seriously injured and will die.
Faced with Mephisto's charge, Russell grinned and charged forward as well.
You probably don't know what an invincible body is.
boom!
Russell neither dodged nor avoided, but instead activated his Energy Absorption at full power, directly colliding with Mephisto.
Without prior arrangement, the two focused their energy into their bodies and chose to engage in close combat.
Although each punch and kick contained the power to tear apart mountains and rivers and shatter the void,
However, the power was concentrated and did not leak out, and the energy released after the collision was absorbed by Russell.
In an instant, the commotion caused was far less than the energy clashes that occurred during the previous chase.
If viewed in slow motion, it even resembles a street fight, with Mephisto having a slight advantage.
He parried many of Russell's attacks;
His attacks almost always hit Russell.
But soon, Mephisto realized something was wrong.
His punches and kicks struck Russell as if they had hit nothing, causing him no harm.
Even if he managed to parry Russell's punches and kicks, his energy was severely depleted.
Once hit, not only does it cause extremely high damage, but it also drains one's energy, leaving the person feeling weak.
He understood.
It wasn't that His close-combat skills were better than Russell's, but rather that Russell had absolutely no need to dodge or block His attacks.
It can't break through the defense; it's completely unbreakable.
Hitting him is tantamount to hitting yourself.
"whee."
Mephisto saw it.
During the battle, Russell actually smiled at Him.
This is utterly outrageous!
Russell's expression tightened.
Damn, I accidentally laughed.
Mephisto's punches and kicks landed on Russell, and describing it as a massage would be quite apt.
Upon contact, most of the kinetic energy from Mephisto's punches and kicks was absorbed.
Immediately afterwards, hellish energy invaded Russell's divine body, but vanished without a trace.
Russell's energy-absorbing talent completely drained him.
In a brief exchange, nearly 100,000 units of energy were absorbed.
It's equivalent to sleeping in a star for thirteen days.
How could Russell not laugh?
Mephisto unleashed his energy, attempting to repel Russell.
As a result, Russell remained unmoved and even took the opportunity to absorb His energy.
Seeing this, Mephisto silently flew back, increasing the distance between himself and Russell.
Nearby was Bertrand Russell, whose clothes were torn and who looked disheveled, but who was actually unharmed.
In the distance, a bald female mage, waving a folding fan, exudes an imposing aura.
All around him was a seemingly endless, distorted, and flowing mirror space;
On the horizon, there are three interconnected, enormous magic arrays that encompass heaven and earth.
Mephisto knew that this clone of himself was likely going to perish here.
......
S.H.I.E.L.D. Space Carrier.
Tony said to the group, "Russell is battling Mephisto in the quantum realm, and we need to go and support him."
Dr. Banner, who was standing nearby, asked, "But how do we enter the quantum realm and find them?"
Tony explained, "We can use the Pym Particles... Finally, we can go back to where I left off and then follow the trail of the battle to find them."
After hearing Tony's explanation, the Avengers started discussing it amongst themselves.
Enter an unknown, entirely new realm and fight a mythical enemy?
Gradually, the discussion subsided, and the Avengers turned their attention to Nick Fury, who had brought together the Avengers.
Yes, the Avengers have been formed.
After Dr. Pym revealed his intention to assassinate the Avengers (candidates), S.H.I.E.L.D. agents urgently contacted Dr. Banner.
A few days ago, after Dr. Pym was captured, Dr. Banner was also brought back to S.H.I.E.L.D.
During this process, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military made some exchanges of interests and also agreed to some of Dr. Banner's requests.
Ultimately, Dr. Banner became the fourth Avenger.
The other three are:
Hawkeye Clinton Francis Patton;
Black Widow Natasha Romanoff;
Blade, Eric Brooks. (Joined S.H.I.E.L.D. after the Blood God incident.)
Nick Fury frowned.
This newly formed Avengers team has no problem handling natural disasters and supernatural events on Earth.
Mephisto, the Lord of Hell?
Isn't this a huge leap? They're already playing high-level games right after they were founded.
But if Tony's request for help is rejected,
This means that S.H.I.E.L.D. acknowledges that it cannot handle major events and can only deal with minor issues.
Once morale is low, it becomes difficult to lead the team.
Furthermore, it will be impossible to recruit Russell and Tony to join the Avengers in the future.
This time, it might actually be an opportunity.
Nick Fury confirmed with Tony again:
"The Sorcerer Supreme has left Kamar-Taj and his whereabouts are unknown. It is suspected that he went to support Russell?"
“Hmm.” Tony nodded; this was his guess.
If the Sorcerer Supreme and Russell are defeated, Earth will also be in danger.
Having made up his mind, Nick Fury declared: "Avengers, assemble!"
At the same time, he reached out and touched the pager in his arms.
If this operation fails, I might have to call on you, old friend.
I just wonder how much sense of belonging you still have to Earth...
......
Seeing that Mephisto knew he had nowhere to escape, he stopped in his tracks.
Russell and the Ancient One exchanged a smile and stopped fighting.
They haven't forgotten their original goal—to create a scheme and exploit resources.
At this moment, the purpose of trapping Mephisto's clone is not to kill him, but to make a deal (extortion).
The loss of an important clone is a devastating blow to Mephisto.
But for Russell and the Ancient One, there was no gain.
Things that harm others without benefiting themselves are not worth Russell and the Ancient One plotting for so long.
"Mephisto, let's negotiate."
