"You were not born divine, but your growth rate has made this Universe take notice, so I cannot let you continue to grow!"
"I will take your body now. You will surely become the perfect vessel for me to ascend to the top of the Multiverse."
After Mephisto took over, Blackheart's body reverted to its original form, but his demeanor underwent a drastic change.
As he spoke, he looked at Shen Mu's body with an eager expression, the demon's possessiveness openly displayed.
Because his physical prowess alone already surpassed many Cosmic Gods.
More importantly, Mephisto could feel that even in the brief moments he was speaking to Shen Mu, the power of the Sun was continuously being absorbed by Shen Mu's body.
Every minute, every second, Shen Mu was becoming stronger.
He had never witnessed such a method of growth in his countless years traversing the Multiverse.
"What a perfect body! It's not an exaggeration to call it a miracle of the Universe!"
"Your value truly exceeds my expectations."
"If I can unlock the secret of your body, then my Hell will gain a large number of Super Demons."
Mephisto seemed to completely disregard Shen Mu, openly critiquing him.
"I'm very curious, what gives you the confidence to say such things?"
"How can you, unable to descend to Earth in your true form, think you can so easily kill me?"
"Don't forget, there's still the Sorcerer Supreme lineage on Earth. If you dare to appear so brazenly, the Ancient One surely wouldn't stand idly by, would she!"
Shen Mu asked Mephisto curiously, as if the two were not mortal enemies, but friends chatting idly!
As he spoke, Shen Mu released the soldiers he had controlled with his telekinesis!
And upon realizing their bodies could move again, they didn't hesitate for a moment, instantly casting aside their so-called military honor, dropping their weapons, and turning to flee!
"General Ross, are you planning to stay and witness the battle that is about to unfold?"
Shen Mu looked at Ross, who was still standing motionless beside him, this man who might become the Red Hulk in the future.
"You won't kill me?"
Ross was a bit stunned to hear this, because in his heart, he thought he was already standing on the brink of Death!
"Kill you? You think too highly of yourself!"
Listening to Shen Mu's tone, although Ross felt a sense of disdain in his heart, if he could survive because of it, none of that mattered.
Ross gave Shen Mu a deep look, then glanced at Mephisto, and quickly retreated from the area!
However, for the first time, a yearning for supernatural power arose in his heart.
After all, he had originally believed that the military and weapons were the most reliable things in this World.
But after witnessing the battle just now, his heart was severely shaken!
Weapons had no effect whatsoever on these superhuman beings.
"To pardon those who dare to offend you, what great benevolence!"
"Even those Angels who descended back then were not as magnanimous as you."
Mephisto praised Shen Mu with a smile.
"You're not bad either! Your good son is trying every possible way to disrupt your plans, yet you can still allow him to do so. Compared to me, your magnanimity doesn't seem narrow either."
"This doesn't align with the demonic nature I know!"
Seeing Mephisto say this, Shen Mu was also a bit curious.
After all, he didn't believe that an old demon like Mephisto, who had lived for countless years, would have any parental affection.
"Do you know why I created this child, Blackheart?"
"Even if he blatantly left Hell, wanting to disrupt my plans, I could tolerate it."
"And, in the future, everything I possess will belong to him, even the throne of the King of Hell."
At this point, Mephisto seemed to enter a conversational mode, speaking to Shen Mu of his own accord.
"Oh! That's rather interesting!"
Shen Mu adopted the posture of a listener. At this moment, the dragon and the demon didn't seem like they were about to fight.
However, Shen Mu's heart was deeply on guard.
"Arrogant, conceited, looking down on everything—my child possesses all the most perfect traits of a demon, only lacking a bit of wisdom."
"At the same time, as a demon, he is also special, because he has no soul."
"However, all of this was already destined when I created him!"
"He was given a mission when he was created!"
Mephisto began to speak of his good son.
"What mission?"
It must be said, Shen Mu was indeed interested in the family affairs of this famous Greater Demon of the Multiverse.
"That mission is to become me!"
"Without a soul, he is naturally the best vessel."
"In fact, he himself doesn't even know that his current self is actually incomplete, merely the weakest part."
"And soon, you will know what my good son's ultimate purpose is!"
After Mephisto finished speaking, he lightly stamped his feet on the ground.
A giant magic circle unfolded, dark red light surged, and the originally bright Sun-drenched sky was covered by a layer of blood-colored Shadow.
Then, three figures identical to Blackheart's true form appeared.
Seeing this, Shen Mu didn't hesitate, opening his mouth and exhaling a scorching, explosive Dragon's Breath.
However, one of the figures quickly extended a hand, and Shen Mu's Dragon's Breath was directly absorbed!
The next moment, Mephisto, who was surrounded in the center, had blood-red light emanating from his eyes, and the other three Blackhearts were instantly devoured.
"Boom!"
A terrifying sound immediately appeared in the sky, and the entire Earth felt a wave of sound pass through, bringing with it rolling vibrations.
Endless demonic power descended, blotting out the sky and the Sun, and all humans on Earth fell into endless panic.
They looked up and saw a colossal, crimson demonic figure staring menacingly at Earth.
"I, Mephisto, the great Demon King, have descended!"
Roaring up at the sky, Mephisto, the Greater Demon who had traversed the Multiverse for countless years, announced his arrival to Earth.
In Attilan, the Inhumans' city on the Moon, Black Bolt, who was strolling with his wife, suddenly changed his expression and then flew into the air.
Standing high above, he looked towards Earth, only to see a terrifying red demonic illusion opening its giant mouth, as if to swallow Earth whole.
At this moment, the King of the Inhumans was deeply shocked.
Heimdall, the guardian god of Asgard, was so frightened by this sight that he stumbled back several steps.
He had only glanced at Mephisto, and that terrifying presence seemed to freeze all the blood in his body.
Odin suddenly stood up from his throne, his battle armor appearing, and the Eternal Spear in his hand.
However, as if remembering something, he immediately sat back down and dispelled his armor.
"Your Majesty, what happened!"
Frigga asked with some concern.
"Nothing!"
Odin did not tell Frigga what had happened.
In Kamar-Taj, the Ancient One was about to go and help Shen Mu, but she immediately felt another dark power approaching the Earth dimension.
"Dormammu!"
Facing this old adversary, the Ancient One could only deal with him first.
