Marvel: God of Spear Technical Advisor

Ridiculing and humiliating a hell king is just a daily step forward from the perspective of humans and Kama Taj's disciples; it does not hinder the possible agreement between him and Mephisto.

But some questions still need to be asked clearly.

"I have two questions that I need Mr. Mephisto to answer honestly." He asked forward something that was absolutely impossible for hell creatures.

"Please tell me."

"If it's just a high-level devil defecting into the main material plane, why are you so anxious?" Qiang Xiang expressed his confusion, "I know that after the devil embryo is born in the human world, it can act as a carrier for the devil, allowing him to break through dimensions.

The barrier has come to the world in its true form. But this is more of a disaster for mankind, why are you so anxious?"

A high-level devil comes to the world in his true form and uses the thirst of hell creatures for souls, which will inevitably bring huge loss of life to mankind; it will also be a severe challenge for Kama Taj.

But as Mephisto is the Lord of Hell, if you want to say that he would be concerned about the heavy casualties that humans may suffer and take the initiative to warn Kama Taj, that’s not a joke!

Therefore, Xiang Qian raised the question: "I would like to know what else Locke has done besides cultivating devil embryos? How much trouble will his defection cause you?"

Mephisto seemed a little hesitant when facing this problem, and the frequency of tapping the ground with the crutch in his hand involuntarily increased.

Qianqian listened to the second announcement of boarding on the radio and gave a kind reminder: "You have at most five minutes to convince me to help you, Mr. Mephisto."

"I lost part of my authority;" Mephisto said, "Locke has been my assistant for nearly ten centuries; in order to better manage the territory, I gave him part of the authority. Now, these authorities have changed with

His defection was also lost."

Xiang Xiang was quite surprised: "Are you kidding me, Mr. Mephisto? A hell king would actually hand over his authority to others and even lose it?"

Is it possible that Mephisto, the lord of deceit who has built his reputation on cunning and deception, still employs people without suspicion?

"Originally there was no problem." Mephisto's sigh didn't look like he was lying. "As long as I want, those powers can be taken back at any time. But Locke...he found a way to completely take the powers for himself."

"So what is the most serious consequence for you?" Qiang Qian asked.

Mephisto replied: "The most serious consequence is that he will be qualified to challenge me; as long as he can accumulate enough power in the main material plane, when he feels it is appropriate, he will return to hell and challenge me.

Challenge."

Hearing Mephisto's narration, Qiang Xiang originally listened with a gloating smile, but suddenly a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and he thought of a question that he had ignored before.

"Could the authority you gave Locke be your soul?" Qiang Qian suddenly asked.

Mephisto's face froze, and although he immediately returned to normal, the vigilance and hostility revealed at that moment were still keenly captured by Xiang Qian.

"I can't hide it from you, can I?" Mephisto was much more relaxed than before, "You are right, for the Lord of Hell, the authority of the territory is our soul."

Now that he has been exposed, Mephisto simply comes clean.

"I have told you before that the lord of hell carries a world with his soul - this is the truth. For us, we carry the territory with our soul, and then get power from the territory; Locke got my soul fragment, which means he partially got it.

This is why I said that after he takes the soul fragments as his own, he will be qualified to challenge me in the future."

"But in my opinion, this kind of challenge does not pose a big threat to you." Qiang Xiang disagreed with the answer of the Lord of Hell.

"In order to accumulate enough power, Locke must absorb a large number of human souls; his conflict with Kama Taj is inevitable. Why don't you sit back and watch him be eliminated by the Supreme Mage? There is little chance that he can successfully absorb power and return to hell.

One in ten thousand.”

Mephisto sneered: "This is a stupid short-sightedness from a short-lived species; James, although you are born with the potential to be strong, judging from your current achievements, there is a high probability that you can become the master of one party in the future; but you must not

Needless to say, you are still too deeply shackled by human thinking habits."

"I'd like to hear the details." Xiang Xiang switched to his native language at this time, knowing that Mephisto could understand it.

"Short life, comfortable life, numerous opportunities; human beings - especially those living in powerful and wealthy countries do not realize the cruelty of competition. You do not care about losing one, two or even more opportunities, because

For most people, the world will continue to offer new opportunities."

Mephisto's tone contained the natural sense of superiority and vicissitudes of immortality.

"If you go back a century, you will find that people who lived a hundred years ago were more cold-blooded and cruel to their competitors than you are now. Because they have too few opportunities. The poorer they are.

Wherever we fall behind, the signs are more obvious."

"Moreover, so what if all opportunities are missed from beginning to end? A mature and stable society will always give those individuals who fail a guarantee; in just a few decades, or at most a hundred years, people will die. So,

It’s hard to see the cruelty of competition from a personal perspective.”

Having said this, Mephisto looked straight forward: "But you are different, James. You should understand that your life form has fundamentally broken away from the category of human beings; it's just that your thinking logic

The synchronized transformation has not been completed yet.”

"Your speech is so wonderful, Mr. Mephisto." He stepped forward and applauded, "Perhaps your point of view can explain: Why is the competition between countries and nations more cruel than the competition between individuals?"

"Cruelty? Humanity's understanding of cruelty is far from enough, James." Mephisto said, "Even counting from the survival competition between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens, the competitive behavior of human society has increased over hundreds of thousands of years.

Together, the tragedy is not as severe as hell."

"When dealing with potential competitors, we will never give them even one ten thousandth chance." The Lord of Hell whispered softly, but with murderous intent.

"Straightforward and thorough; every university should invite you to give a lecture on the philosophy of competition." Xiang Xiang.

"How do you know I haven't been there?" Mephisto asked quietly, "The earliest universities in the world were all established under my own eyes, and some of them even received funding from me."

"Ha, then I am ignorant." Xiang Xiang almost forgot that this person in front of him is the one who likes to wander around human society the most among all the kings of hell.

The third announcement urging boarding came over the radio.

Looking up at the ceiling of the hall, his eyes can't seem to find the focus;

"My second question is, why didn't you ask the Ghost Rider to help you? We know very well that you have found a new knight; he was the one who helped you solve the problem of the St. Vincent's Contract two years ago.

By the way, he also killed your incompetent son, what’s his name...Witch Heart Demon, right?"

"Of course, my initial reaction was to go find him." Mephisto was not surprised at all that Karma Taj knew about the existence of Ghost Rider.

"What's the result?"

This question also seemed to embarrass Mephisto: "He's out of control; I can't command him now."

"Haha, out of control? It's better to say he figured it out." Xiang Qian said, "You are paying for the deception in the past, Mephisto."

The King of Hell plausibly defended himself: "I have faithfully fulfilled my contract every time."

"From a legal perspective, a contract based on fraud is invalid and unprotected." Qiang Qian joked, "It seems that as a party to the contract, Johnny Blaze is more willing to act from the standpoint of human law.

Consider the contract between you."

"Humph!" Mephisto protested weakly.

"Okay, I'm leaving." He stood up and dragged his suitcase towards the boarding gate.

The last announcement urging boarding has come over the radio.

"What, are you going to ignore Locke's threat?" Mephisto was surprised.

The forward group relaxedly comforted the Lord of Hell: "Don't worry, Mr. Mephisto; we all know that Locke can only complete it until the winter solstice - that is, the day when the barrier between hell and the main material plane of the earth is weakest.

The real body has arrived; it’s only the beginning of October.”

"You have to think clearly, James Locke's behavior is not only a threat to me, he is also causing trouble to Kama Taj." Mephisto stopped smiling, "I'm not just talking about casualties.

;At the same time, his actions are setting a very bad example for other dimensions."

The old devil reminded meaningfully: "The method of cultivating devil embryos is not a secret in the hell dimension, and it was once very popular on earth. The reason why no one has tried this method again for centuries is entirely out of respect for the Supreme Mage.

Respect; but Locke is destroying all that."

Qianqian heard the almost straightforward threat from the Lord of Hell.

The dimensional barrier cannot solve all invasion threats. The current peace on the magic side of the earth is maintained by the powerful strength and reputation of the Supreme Mage. However, if the invasion of Locke is not handled properly, it may destroy the peace that Kama Taj has always maintained.

Xiang Qian's face darkened slightly: "If other devils or dimensional demons want to follow suit, we welcome them - as long as they can afford the price."

Mephisto's expression was as usual, he looked forward with cold eyes, and for a long time he showed a warm fake smile again; "Of course, with your financial resources and power, two months is indeed enough, I can afford to wait

.”

"Really?" Xiang Qian asked.

"Really." Mephisto vowed.

Qianqian smiled heartily: "That's good. I originally planned to change my ticket to Europe if you were really anxious."

Under the influence of the dimensional barrier, Mephisto could only roughly sense the approximate location of the devil's embryo, which was somewhere in Central Europe.

Even with Mephisto's strong mentality, he could only turn his eyes at the evil intentions ahead.

"By the way, if the time drags on too long and letting Locke hold your soul fragment for a long time, it won't do you any harm, right?" The forward question was almost like a surprise attack, making Mephisto's expression change for the second time.

Change uncontrollably.

Although the change in expression only lasted a moment, and he didn't wait for the other party's answer, Qian Qian didn't take it seriously and turned around and left with an obvious sneer.

From the beginning to the end, when he was staring at the forward figure until the young Master Kama Taj boarded the plane, the eyes of the King of Hell flickered for a moment.

On the plane to Hong Kong Island, I leaned forward and let myself sink into the depths of the seat. My thoughts were also complicated.

The loss of a soul fragment must have a great impact on the Lord of Hell, but it is difficult to grasp the magnitude of this impact going forward.

Because he had controlled the limbo of hell for a short time, it can be said that to some extent, he had been the lord of hell for less than half an hour. Although the time was short, it gave him a profound understanding of the source and form of the power of the lord of hell.

Cognition.

The simplest and clearest fact is that the souls of the hell lords are their true source of power; and for the hell lords and even all hell creatures, the true power is both powerful and fragile, and cannot withstand the slightest damage.

To use an inappropriate analogy, the full power displayed by high-level devils is like the steam locomotive of an old-fashioned train; when the train is moving, a large amount of water vapor and smoke will be emitted from the steam engine and wrap around the locomotive, forming a seemingly huge

Smoke cloud.

For a locomotive, it does not matter if there is more or less smoke and water vapor wrapped around it, and it will not damage the power of the train; but if the steam engine itself is damaged, even a small crack may cause irreparable damage.

serious consequences.

Relatively minor consequences include a decrease in output power, increased wear of spare parts, machinery stopping, etc.; and a more serious consequence is that the steam engine directly explodes.

For the devil, external power is like the smoke outside a steam engine. It doesn't matter if it's more or less; but losing a soul fragment and causing damage to the real power has much more serious consequences.

It is similar to the situation when a crack is opened in a steam engine; a seemingly small crack may cause immeasurable losses.

Now, Locke's betrayal is equivalent to tearing a crack in Mephisto's soul, making his true source of power no longer intact. This is also the real reason why the old devil is so anxious.

As for talking about encountering challenges in the future, and talking about nipping threats in their bud, these are just Mephisto's excuses.

I believe that half of what you can say to the devil of deceit is too much.

Logically speaking, Xiangqian and Kama Taj can just sit back and wait for Mephisto and Locke, the two high-level demons, to kill each other.

But just as Mephisto said, if Locke wants to continue to challenge Mephisto's power enough, he will inevitably bring heavy casualties to humans on earth; and it may also trigger further chain reactions and completely break Kama Taj's painstaking efforts.

Maintain the magic side balance.

The conflict of interests makes people in a dilemma. Neither Forward nor Kamal Taj can sit back and watch.

"If you want to go to Central Europe to find someone...it seems you have to contact Sylph."
