The Death Knell

Su Ming met with the Master and Gin Jiu, and they were a little surprised as to why he came back from the sky.

Just now, the portal was closed by Mephisto mobilizing the power of hell. Monaco panicked for a while and almost contacted Gu Yi to find a solution.

However, Gin believed that her boss had known that this would happen for a long time, and he should be prepared. Besides, he suddenly disappeared in front of her not once or twice, so she signaled the mage to wait calmly.

It was just as she said. Even Su Ming's armor was repaired when he landed, and the wounds he suffered in the battle with the Maidens of Destruction had healed themselves.

Gin's eyes looked at him, waiting for the next move, while Monaco also breathed a sigh of relief and put the rabbit back into the breast pocket of his jacket:

"I thought you and Mephisto were fighting."

Su Ming glanced at him and felt a little strange. Was he stupid in the eyes of the mage?

"In his hell?"

The Lord of Hell is a god in his own plane. If he is not willing, no one else can touch him with a finger, and the hit will only be air...

He had already done experiments with horse-headed men before. Mephisto did have such an ability. The future Horse-Faced God of Thunder was only demolished in hell for a while before being repelled by the Maid of Destruction. Mephisto himself was unscathed. hurt.

Hell Lords have various bonuses in their respective dimensions, but they have one thing in common, that is, they all have the ability to be resurrected continuously.

For example, Seratok, the Crimson Tyrant is already very strong, but in his own Crimson Hell, he is Hell itself. Unless you can erase a plane, it is impossible to destroy him.

The same goes for Surtur, who is invincible in his hell. When Odin and his two brothers, Fili and Vi, went to deal with the Fire Giant, they found that they could not kill him at all.

No matter how many times he is knocked down, Surtur will resurrect from the lava in the next second and continue fighting, as if he intends to fight the three brothers for tens of thousands of years.

Fili and Vi died in this battle. In order to allow their brother to escape, they took the initiative to cut off the rear and allowed Odin to escape back to Asgard.

Before they died, they transferred their divine power to their younger brothers. The combined power of the three Odinson brothers resulted in three Father-level powers. This is the true face of Odin's power today.

Then Odin went through a long series of things, becoming a god king, becoming blind, drinking spring water, and gaining rune power. He defeated Surtur only when he was at his most powerful and full strength.

By infusing the Fire Hell with a massive amount of Odin's power and temporarily changing the attributes of an entire plane, the rebirth of the Fire Giant was temporarily delayed.

But even Odin couldn't kill a hell lord in hell. He could only resort to the next best thing, sealing the fire giant in the volcano, snatching away the eternal fire, and negotiating a condition with him - "Unless someone You are invited, or you will never set foot in Asgard."

Surtur agreed and waited patiently for Ragnarok, knowing that someone would definitely invite him in the future.

At this time, the only ones who can deal with the hell lords are other hell lords, who devour each other through the annexation of the hell planes, but neither Earth nor Asgard has the attribute of hell.

Of course, there is another way, and that is to lure the lord out of his own hell, maybe there is a chance.

Dormammu in the movie universe suffered this loss. In order to devour the earth, he opened his own hell, and Doctor Strange got in.

As a result, everyone knows that Dormammu's real body was completely entangled by Strange using the Time Stone, and he negotiated unlimited terms. Strange is also a smart man. He knows very well that even with the Time Stone in hand, Dormammu still cannot be killed. , we can only negotiate conditions.

In the end, the story ends with Dormammu temporarily retreating, but that is not the end. He will definitely come back in the future...

Mephisto is not as powerful as Dormammu, but he is much more cunning than the lord of the dark dimension. When he goes to the earth or other places to do business, he never uses his true body.

Usually it just sends out a talking phantom. In addition to the function of a communication device, it only has a little bit of hell power and can deal with some minor dangers. When dealing with a robber or a street gangster, if he meets a strong person, he will abandon his clone without hesitation and dissipate into a puff of black smoke.

"I just thought you didn't know. I forgot to remind you before you went in."

Monaco rubbed his eyes. His eyes were a little puffy, like peaches.

Su Ming smiled. He knew Monaco had good intentions. Even though he didn't know any magic, he still knew some secrets about the magic world.

Most of the hell lords work for 'death'. They are part of the soul circulation system of this world. If death doesn't nod, none of them can die.

Dealing with hell is not worth the gain, and the devil is disgusted here.

It was precisely because of this that Su Ming chose to fight the Maid of Destruction to show off his strength, because he knew that he would never be able to meet Mephisto in hell, and even the one he was talking to might be a clone or an illusion.

Su Ming saw through Mephisto's plan and knew what he was thinking.

If Deathstroke avoids fighting, he will publicize the future weakness of Earth's main dimension and cause trouble for the Ancient One and Earth.

But if Deathstroke takes action against the Hell Demon himself, Mephisto will definitely create a real illusion of a "tragic death". After Deathstroke leaves, he will use vivid video records to persuade other Hell lords to form an alliance.

Usually there are constant disputes between the hell planes, and the hell lords fight and annex each other, but once there is an external danger, they will unite and deal with the outside world.

And the heir to the Supreme Mage takes the initiative to attack the Lord of Hell?

It’s a perfect reason…

When the lords unite, they will kill everyone. In the original comics, even someone as powerful as Tianjin Wengxing will be killed by them.

It seemed that Su Ming just had a brief chat with Mephisto, but he put a lot of thought into it. He didn't give Mephisto any clues, and even found the information he wanted and escaped unscathed.

What Mephisto wants to weigh is not Deathstroke's personal power, he doesn't care about that at all.

He just wants to see how much the successor of the Supreme Mage knows about the magic world and whether he will step into the trap recklessly. If the successor of Ancient One is as reckless as the successor of Odin, then he will have a good life in the future... .

What Su Ming broke was Lao Mo's illusion. He used his actions to tell the Hell Lord that his knowledge of things in the magical world was as good as any mage.

Showing some strength and revealing some trump cards can sometimes be a deterrent to smart people.

Just like in DC, why did Su Ming show the Ten Commandments openly? If he just wants to save people, wouldn't it be easier to give the big octopus a shot from outer space?

Thought it was for Batman? No, Batman has never been an obstacle.

Su Mingliang showed his strength to Luther and Kuangxiao. He knew that those two guys had been monitoring the entire battlefield. The situation of Black Manta at least showed that Luther was monitoring.

In this way, these two smart people will not act rashly before they fully grasp the light ring that can restrain the death knell.

These times are the preparation time Su Ming has reserved for the next action.

When the enemies reappear and he thinks he is fully prepared, Su Ming will use his real trump card to deal with them, which is the Contract of the Inverter, the magical concept created by himself.

The enemy thought they were dealing with a Lantern and would be prepared for this, but in fact their opponent was a Supreme Mage...

.............

In the journey to hell, Su Ming went in as Odin, and Deathstroke came out. He temporarily got rid of that identity, and the golden cicada escaped from his shell.

Let Heimdall stare at hell. Su Ming used his identity as Odin to absolve Gin of his guilt, so Valkyrie can now move around the nine realms freely with Deathstroke.

However, all the original suspected targets have now been cleared of suspicion, and the complexity of the matter has increased again.

How did the big snake come out? Where is your current location? What is he going to do? If these three key issues are not resolved, it will be difficult to find the person behind the scenes.

If the prediction is correct, the Winter Hammer should be in the hands of the serpent's follower. Who this follower is is also a question.

However, there is always nothing wrong with preparing a way to deal with the serpent first. This method is the son of Odin mentioned in the prophecy.

Odin did not actually have only one son, Thor. Although one of them thought he was dead, he was actually still alive.

Where is Balder, the God of Light, at this time? Su Ming may try to find out.

In the comic book story, after being killed by Loki with a mistletoe javelin, Balder's soul fell into the hands of Hela.

The goddess of the underworld knew that this was a hot potato and Odin would definitely come to her to ask for it. She didn't want Balder to be resurrected, so she threw her brother's soul out of the underworld almost immediately.

Odin missed it, Balder was not in the underworld, and he didn't know where he went.

Hela was one of the lords of hell and could not be killed in the underworld, so Odin had little to do with her. Since he had lost a son, and he did not want to lose another daughter, he could only leave in anger.

Balder was thrown out of the underworld, and the destination of his soul must be other hells.

He is constantly being circulated in the major hells. As a special valuable product, the hell lords use him as currency or entertainment tools. The soul of the son of the God King is like an interesting toy.

Balder has been to almost every hell plane that Su Ming can think of, and the various tortures he has suffered can be said to be the most comprehensive. A few days ago, he was playing a human instrument at Lao Mo's side, and a few days later he was torn apart by tentacles at the beholder's side, and then he changed places again a few days later.

Odin kept trying to find him, but couldn't find him, and the Lords of Hell played a tacit game of hide-and-seek.

Unfortunately, there are always people who make mistakes, and the lords of hell are not omniscient and omnipotent.

In the endless torture, Balder not only did not lose his mind and become a blank soul, but instead recovered his memories of his life and secretly reshaped his body.

Then he escaped, from the clutches of the demon Belasco.

After escaping from the Demon King's prison, he still could not leave that hell. He could only start a guerrilla war with the Demon King's army and hide in Tibet on the desolate land.

It should be more than three hundred years ago now, right?

The hell where Balder is located is called Limbo DC and is also called Limbo, but it is a completely different concept.

At this time, the lord of Hell's Edge is Velasco, and in a few decades, Hell's Edge will be replaced by a new lord, a little girl who was once captured by Velasco and sent to hell, her name is Liana Lass. Putin, codenamed Mysterio.
