"Human, I can submit to you. I can tell you countless secrets about Hell. I still have many uses. Spare my life, you will never regret it!"
At this time, under Sebastian's absorption, most of Zarathos's body has been integrated into Sebastian's soul. It would be completely absorbed in just a while longer.
Including this life, Sebastian has experienced three lives and integrated his souls from three lives. This kind of soul fusion is not a simple addition, but a geometric improvement in power.
If Zarathos was in his prime, Sebastian would not be able to compete with Zarathos even if he integrated his souls from three lives. However, Zarathos is now in a weakened state after being crippled by the Spirit of Vengeance and Mephisto. His soul is less than one percent of its original size. It is sufficient to deal with the soul of an ordinary person, but it is not enough to deal with Sebastian!
"Zarathos, disappear!"
With those words, Sebastian instantly increased his absorption, completely absorbing Zarathos's soul into his body, extinguishing Zarathos's unwilling consciousness and completely harnessing Zarathos's spiritual power for his own benefit.
At the same time, the moment Sebastian completely absorbed Zarathos's soul, the space within his consciousness suddenly vibrated. The fragments of consciousness floating within it transformed into streams of light and penetrated Sebastian's body. The entire space vibrated and rapidly disintegrated into countless specks of light.
After the space shattered, Sebastian's soul body floated in a pitch-black, inexplicable void.
The specks of light from the shattered space quickly converged, forming the most complex seal of authority Sebastian had ever seen. This seal resonated with the power of hellfire within Sebastian.
As Sebastian extended his hand, the seal of authority immediately penetrated his body, swiftly merging with the Hellfire Authority within him. This caused the Hellfire Authority to undergo a profound transformation, causing Sebastian's consciousness to quickly return to his physical body and open his eyes.
At this moment, within Sebastian's mind, the sounds of thunder and lightning, the earth cracking, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis echoed simultaneously.
The Hellfire Authority continued to transform, finally transforming into an even more powerful authority, surpassing both his magical and gravitational authority, becoming the most powerful authority within Sebastian's body!
Hell's Authority!
The purest portion of Hell's Authority!
In other words, after absorbing the remaining soul of Zarathos and the power within it, integrating it with the Hellfire Authority, Sebastian gained a portion of the purest Hell's Authority. Now, should he so desire, he could instantly become a Hell Lord, towering over countless devils and demons, and equal in status to Mephisto himself!
No wonder Mephisto was so eager to reclaim the wandering Ghost Rider. It turned out that Ghost Rider possessed a portion of Hell's power, a factor crucial to Mephisto's authority in Hell, making it a worthy investment.
Rising from the ground, Sebastian surveyed the now-charred chamber, realizing that the shift in Hell's power within him had inevitably altered the environment outside. His clothes, crumbling to ash, scattered to the ground. He was thankful he had not brought a storage bag or anything valuable, as he would have suffered heavy losses.
Leaving the chamber, Sebastian extended a hand, and the clothes he had prepared flew onto his body, swirling around him like a whirlpool, quickly fitting him snugly.
For Sebastian now, magic could replace many everyday tasks whenever he chose.
Pouring himself a glass of soda water, Sebastian took a sip from it as he stood by the window.
Normally, both the resolution of Zarathos's threat and the elevation of the Hellfire Authority to the Authority of Hell would be cause for great celebration. However, Sebastian felt no joy at all. Instead, his face was solemn, and he was lost in deep thought.
As Sebastian pondered this, he suddenly saw dark clouds rolling in from the sky above Hogwarts, completely obscuring the previously clear daylight and plunging the entire grounds into darkness.
A violent storm erupted, accompanied by thunder and lightning, but the power of the Space Stone completely blocked them out. The lightning struck the protective shield, erupting in roars and pulsing with electricity.
This sudden and strange state of affairs immediately caused some of the more timid girls and boys to scream in fear.
Sebastian observed the situation with a stern expression. He moved instantly, teleporting directly to the edge of Hogwarts's outermost protective shield.
Just as Sebastian had anticipated, not long after his arrival, an elderly man with neatly combed white hair, a black leather trench coat, and a black cane adorned with a silver skull emblem appeared at the other end of the protective barrier in front of Sebastian, accompanied by a thunderbolt.
Undoubtedly, it was the current Lord of Hell, Mephisto!
Sebastian looked at him and said directly, "Mephisto, it has been a long time."
Looking at Sebastian, Mephisto's face revealed a faint smile. Sebastian was no longer the weakling he had once been. Even Mephisto could not underestimate him now.
Tapping his cane lightly on the ground, Mephisto looked at Sebastian and said, "Mr. Shaw, we meet again."
"I do not know what the great Lord of Hell has come to me for. You scared my students."
Nodding slightly, Mephisto said, "Mr. Shaw, first of all, I want to express my apologies. Secondly, I do not like coming here either, but who made you always get my things?"
"Always get them?" Sebastian looked puzzled and said to Mephisto, "Mephisto, I am sorry, I do not know what you are talking about. I have already given you the Saint Vanganza Contract. I do not remember owing you anything, let alone taking your things."
"Mr. Shaw, I think it is better not to make some things too clear, right?
If you are willing to give me what I want, then I can help you escape from Chthon, even from the Vishanti Trinity. Or if you desire even greater power, I can even make you a god and grant you even more authority.
As long as you make the choice and hand over the power of Hell that originally belonged to me, I can grant you everything you desire!
Now!
Tell me your answer, Sebastian Shaw!"
