"Strict protection? Whose protection can stop you now?" Chthon asked with arrogance.
Sebastian raised his head and looked into the scarlet eyes and said, "Reporting to Lord Chthon, the person protecting that girl is the descendant of Vishanti, known as the Sorcerer Supreme. He can borrow the power of Vishanti, and I am no match for him!"
Hearing Sebastian's words, Chthon let out an angry roar, "Vishanti... Oshtur!"
"Lord Chthon, what should I do?" Sebastian asked submissively.
After a long silence, Chthon finally calmed down. He slowly said to Sebastian, "Since you can get the aura of that girl, it means you can contact her. My request to you is very simple, that is to find a way to contact that girl, and then use the power of the Darkhold to summon me to come.
As long as I use the girl's special ability, I can get away from here and avoid that...
In short, you just need to do what I say. When I come, no matter Vishanti, Oshtur, or anyone else, they will never be able to stop me from coming again!"
"Okay, I understand, Master Chthon. I will return now and find a way to fulfill your request!" Sebastian said.
Sebastian was about to leave when Chthon suddenly called out, causing Sebastian's back muscles to tense slightly, ready to draw his wand and force his way out. However, Sebastian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Chthon's words.
"Magician, I am very pleased with your efficiency, and I have witnessed your loyalty. Therefore, I have decided to give you a small reward to make it easier and safer for you to reach the girl."
As Chthon finished speaking, a black sphere with a red haze appeared before Sebastian.
He reached out to catch it, confirming it was not more Authority. However, he was not disappointed. It was as expected. If Chthon had simply given away his Authority, Sebastian would have been truly surprised. Of course, Chthon was not necessarily wise at the moment.
The long years of confinement and sealing had long since worn away Chthon's already limited wisdom.
"If you crush this sphere, you will instantly open a dark realm. Even Vishanti and their servants would have to exert themselves to break it, let alone a Vishanti pet. It can temporarily trap those who stand in your way. This is a reward and a favor for you. Do not let me down!" Chthon instructed.
Accepting the sphere, Sebastian bowed to Chthon and respectfully withdrew from the dimension.
Returning to the outside world, Sebastian immediately used his magic to seal the sphere layer by layer before placing it in his storage bag.
At the same time, Sebastian retrieved the silver Time-Turner from the bag and placed it in his robe pocket. It was time to use this magical artifact he had crafted using the Time Stone. At a crucial moment, this Time-Turner imbued with the power of the Time Stone could provide Sebastian with immense assistance, allowing him to manipulate time itself.
Without much delay, Sebastian returned directly to his own universe. However, he did not immediately choose to return to Hogwarts or go to other places. Instead, he came to the almost completely destroyed San Venganza. After a dark cloud blocked the sunlight, Mephisto, as always, dressed in a black leather coat, holding a black cane, and with meticulously groomed white hair, walked out slowly from the shadows nearby in human form.
Looking at Sebastian with a half-smile, Mephisto said to Sebastian with a hint of sarcasm on his face, "Sebastian Shaw, you have come to this day."
"It is not a surprise that I have come to this day. It is reasonable," Sebastian replied calmly.
"If that is the case, then you can just wait to die. Why did you come here to me? Are you trying to beg me to save you?" Mephisto asked mockingly.
"No, no, no, I am not here to beg you," Sebastian shook his head and continued to Mephisto, "Actually, I am here to make a deal with you."
Mephisto looked at Sebastian, as if he heard a funny joke, and said with a teasing look on his face, "Deal? No, I am not interested in a deal with you. Of course, if you dare to give up your soul, then there is no problem in me trading with you."
"I cannot give you my soul. You had better give up, Mephisto," Sebastian said firmly.
Shrugging, Mephisto looked regretful and said to Sebastian, "If that is the case, it is really a pity. I think there is really no possibility of our cooperation."
"Really? What if I tell you the price of the deal is the Authority of Hell that I control?" Sebastian said.
Mephisto's expression darkened as he stared intently at Sebastian. The dark clouds in the sky suddenly blazed with lightning and thunder. The fleeting flashes of lightning illuminated Mephisto's face, revealing a ferocious and terrifying demonic visage beneath the human form.
"Are you willing to trade the Authority of Hell?" Mephisto asked, his interest piqued.
"I can sign a soul contract. If I break it, my soul will be instantly annihilated. What do you think?" Sebastian offered.
Hearing Sebastian's words, Mephisto had no doubts. If Sebastian truly signed the soul contract, there would be no chance of reneging on the deal.
However, Mephisto did not immediately show any desire to make a deal with Sebastian. He just glanced at Sebastian briefly, smiled and said, "Even if it is the Authority of Hell, there is no need for me to make a deal with you. After you die, I will also have a way to obtain the Authority of Hell that belongs to you."
"Mephisto, you are not naive enough to think that I will have no backup plan if I propose a deal with you?" Sebastian said.
"Backup plan?" Mephisto asked with curiosity.
"If you do not agree to my deal, then I will immediately find another Hell-Lord and sign a contract with him to guarantee that if anything happens to me, my Authority of Hell will belong to him.
Even if I cannot find a Hell-Lord who is interested in this part of the Authority of Hell, I will completely destroy this part of the Authority when necessary. At that time, you will never get even a trace of what belongs to me!" Sebastian threatened.
Looking at Sebastian, Mephisto suddenly smiled and said to Sebastian, "I do not know what you want? As long as I can do it. If you ask me to face beings like Vishanti or Dormammu directly, then I really cannot do anything."
"I do not need you to face them directly. I just need you to construct a projection of Hell with me as the center at the critical moment to amplify my power and weaken the enemy's strength. Apart from that, I have no other requirements," Sebastian explained.
Narrowing his eyes, Mephisto slowly nodded and said, "Although this request is also very troublesome, I can reluctantly agree to it, but this requires signing a soul contract."
"Of course, it should be so!" Sebastian agreed.
