Qinuo left the underground cavern with Mephisto, preparing to return to the castle. Along the way, Mephisto remained silent.
After Qinuo returned to Mephisto's castle, he began to summon his demons, preparing to leave.
Before long, a group of grotesque and ferocious demons, varied in form, arrived and lined up neatly in front of Qinuo.
"Young Master, can we take this with us?"
"Hulk likes pets. Take them to Milan, Dara."
After a period of learning, Hulk could now speak normally.
Abomination and Hulk each held a three-meter-tall Demon Wolf in their hands, yet they whined in fear like small dogs.
"You can, but you must keep an eye on them and make sure they don't hurt anyone."
After Abomination and Hulk dragged their pets into the teleportation gate.
"Where did Xi go?"
Qinuo asked Basa.
"I don't know, Your Majesty, I haven't seen her since shortly after the battle began."
Basa shook his head, his face also filled with bewilderment.
"Young Master, I'm back."
Xi's voice came, and she was seen walking quickly out of the castle.
Behind her was a group of demons adorned with gold and silver, carefully carrying two round objects.
The two demons' originally slender bodies were now forcibly stuffed with all kinds of treasures, looking as if they could vomit at any moment.
Xi came before Qinuo, who was already dressed, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.
"What's on you all?"
Qinuo looked surprised, seeing Xi, who resembled a small golden figure, and the two spherical demons behind her, carried by a group of "small golden mountains."
He couldn't remember having such fat demons in his hell. Was it because the food had been too good recently?
"We found the treasury of this hell, Young Master. Your plan requires a lot of money, but these two demons are too useless; they couldn't take everything."
Xi pouted, saying with some dissatisfaction.
The Space Demon and the Devouring Demon were so stuffed they were rolling their eyes, suffering inwardly but daring not to say anything. This woman was more demonic than a demon.
Mephisto merely glanced at them and then paid no more attention, secretly disdaining them in his heart. Just some ordinary treasures, truly ignorant demons.
"You've really worked hard, Xi."
Qinuo smiled gently and stroked Xi's small head.
Although the treasures on them were just a drop in the bucket for his grand plan, he wouldn't refuse this good intention.
"Hehe, it's not hard, Young Master."
Xi said with a sweet smile, her face radiant with satisfaction.
"You all go back first. As for your rewards, we'll talk about them later."
Qinuo waved his hand and said.
"Yes, Young Master."
Xi responded, then led a group of demons resembling small golden mountains, carrying two spheres, into the teleportation gate.
"Slave, behave yourself recently. Don't go running around in the human World for no reason. I will summon you if something happens."
Qinuo looked at Mephisto expressionlessly.
"Yes, Master." Mephisto lowered his eyes submissively, not daring to disobey in the slightest, his tone extremely respectful.
Qinuo said no more, turned, and stepped into the teleportation gate.
Mephisto maintained his respectful posture until Qinuo's figure completely disappeared, then slowly straightened up, the humility on his face instantly vanishing, replaced by a gloomy and unwilling expression.
Mephisto looked at the ravaged hell, surrounded by collapsed mountains, cracked earth, and wailing demons.
His eyes burned with raging Fire, as if capable of incinerating everything.
"I've never suffered such a great loss. You thought a contract could control me? You're too naive, human."
Mephisto sneered through gritted teeth, his voice filled with anger and malice.
Arriving at the treasury door and pushing it open, Mephisto was so enraged that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Countless years of collected treasures had been swept clean, leaving only a few of the least valuable gold mountains.
"Damn it!!!"
Mephisto really wanted to rush out and kill that human, but the contract forced him to give up. It was absolutely not because he couldn't win.
He went to a corner of the treasury, opened a stone slab, and took out a Black Magic book with a chained lock.
"Thankfully, the Book of Contracts is still here."
Mephisto breathed a slight sigh of relief. This was his foundation from before. He opened the book.
He chanted obscure and difficult-to-understand Black Magic spells, his low and evil voice echoing in the empty treasury.
"All contracts in this World are only effective because demons and gods stand behind them. Human, you wait, I will make you pay a heavy price!"
As the low, evil incantation continued, rolling Black smoke surged around Mephisto. His power, like an invisible torrent, traced back from the contract in his soul along a mysterious source.
A ferocious smile appeared on his face, his eyes glinting with mad killing intent:
"If the opponent is weak, then kill him. If he is strong, then pay a small price to make him abandon this contract."
"Human, you just wait for me. With a hell connected to the human World, all demon gods and lords will want to kill you and seize your hell."
Mephisto laughed wildly, his laughter echoing through this hell, as if he had already seen Qinuo's tragic Death.
Mephisto's power and consciousness, like a pitch-Black lightning bolt, instantly traversed endless time and space, arriving on a desolate Planet.
Here, the earth was cracked and lifeless, with four huge craters still remaining.
The air was filled with the scent of decay and Death; not a trace of life could be seen.
Mephisto scrutinized this environment, which was even harsher than hell, and his heart settled, secretly musing: It must be a very weak god, otherwise, those pleasure-loving gods would never choose such a place to stay.
A scornful sneer curled his lips, and his eyes gleamed with greed and cruelty, as if he had already seen the moment he would easily break the shackles of the contract and regain his freedom.
"Are you a demon of this World? You also bear my contract."
On this lifeless, utterly silent Planet, a beautiful voice suddenly rang out, like a sound from heaven, yet strikingly out of place in this desolation.
Mephisto looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a very beautiful woman standing gracefully not far away.
Even by demon standards, she was a peerless beauty.
He cautiously sensed her, discovering that the woman's strength was very weak, and the aura she emitted was identical to the aura of the contract in his soul.
The woman also noticed Mephisto's subtle movements but merely smiled slightly. Her smile was like a spring breeze, yet it carried an elusive mystery.
"You are the god behind this contract, aren't you!"
Mephisto said fiercely.
"Yes, do you need something?"
The woman calmly observed Mephisto.
"I command you to release the contract for me, otherwise..."
Mephisto's words were not finished when the storm on this Planet suddenly subsided without warning.
