43. The Avengers 006 (Part 1)(1/2)
The hell dimension is not a separate world. In fact, any spellcaster who has a little knowledge of hell knows that the hell dimension is a concept.
There are many places in the universe that can be called "hell". In addition to the nine-level hell in the traditional sense, there are many concepts of hell in the doctrine of evil gods and alien life.
For example, the hell of the three palace demons, the kingdom of the gods of the crimson ruler Sethorak, the underworld of the suspected missing Asgard god of death, and the underworld of the great god Orissis, one of the nine glorious gods in Egypt, etc.
These are the displays of hell on the realistic level, and in addition to these known hells, there are many unknown mysterious places that can also be called hell.
Some different spaces, or some conceptual dimensions, or even dangerous and mysterious sea of light.
In short, hell is boundless, which is not just a description, it also represents a truth that is often overlooked.
Most of the hell dimensions have their own lords, some of which are very famous, such as Mephister, and this great devil has another name called Mephisto.
However, after it lured the soul of the mortal Faust into hell, it became more and more fond of the name Mephist.
Well, Mephister is a real big shot. Compared with other arrogant and cruel masters of Hell, Mephister is undoubtedly an alien.
Compared to rough soul plundering, this guy prefers to do more technical things, such as luring valuable souls to sign contracts, then playing with them ruthlessly, and finally taking their desperate souls into their pockets.
For example, His Majesty Dum's mother was deceived into hell in the promise of revenge by the devil.
This bad behavior makes Mephister famous in all dimensions, but it still does his own way. It likes the kind of deception, it likes the despair of the soul.
Well, there is also the gossip that Mephist has the most gorgeous beard in the hell dimension, and this guy also likes to tell jokes...
I don't know how it developed that weird problem.
Merlin and Mephist also had an intersection. For his fantasy journey when he was still weak, Merlin once saw Mephist's incarnation in Texas.
At that time, Mephist was using the contract to deceive a young man, and Merlin almost stopped the fraud.
But he was too weak, so he could only watch a young man cheated of his soul by Mephist. That should be the Cavaliers signed by Mephist. Merlin told him about this when Diamond last proposed to accept new things.
Now, Merlin is related to this great demon again, but this time, he no longer accidentally entered the situation. He began to take the initiative to find ways to weaken the power of the Lord of Hell.
"You talk about the Knights of Mephist?"
Facing Merlin's inquiry, Damon pursed his lips and said:
"We confirmed his presence on the western lands thanks to the accurate information you provided, but that guy...is very tricky."
Half Demon said with some regret:
"Mephister has been following him, it seems to be very interested in that human, Satana and I failed to sneak up on the young man several times, and most importantly, the contract he signed with the Great Devil has not been activated, so we can't determine the potential of that knight."
"But in the hell dimension, Mephist is a famous speculator, so I think that the potential of those who can be paid attention to is probably less than much."
"If you don't have the convenience of contact with him, why not let me do it."
Merlin pushed his glasses and said:
"With official power to approach him, as long as the operation is reasonable, the big devil will basically not be suspicious."
"No, that's too risky, don't underestimate Mephist."
Damon waved his hand and said:
"My sister and I have already started to have two ideas. Mephist has a son named Hei Xin. That guy is very restless and wants to overthrow his father all day long and become the Lord of Hell himself."
"The worst thing is that the guy is very ambitious and talented, and he can't even control his own mouth. His arrogance has spread throughout hell and has become the object of ridicule of all demons. Mr. Mephist is really unfortunate."
"The same situation is also the son of Lucifer, the greedy Mamen, the son of the lord of hell. The guy's situation is similar to that of the black heart. In short, they are all available..."
Half-demon narrowed his eyes and said softly:
"It only takes one opportunity to completely disrupt the plans that the hell kings have arranged on earth. It is not that easy for those old men to pay for their ambitions!"
"Well, it seems you have an idea. Can I say that you two are worthy of being devils?"
Merlin bounced his finger and said:
"Do you need me to do anything?"
"You."
Damon glanced at Merlin and said:
"You're responsible for the fight."
"I mean, you are the support part of the plan. Once something happens, or things are out of control, we need you to stand up and clean up the mess. After all, the one who can fight the most among us, and your power in the world is not much smaller."
"If Mephist is really angry and intends to turn the table up, you and the heroes under your command will save the situation."
"You'd better keep your composure."
Merlin warned:
"I'd love to see the strength of the Lord of Hell being weakened, but I also have my principles."
"I know, it's a good thing, it's a rule."
A spark burst into Damon's fingertips, he said:
"Making friends with people with bottom lines and guidelines can always make people feel more at ease. Don't worry, we will control the situation. We are still weak now, and I don't plan to get into a troubled enemy now... This is just a small temptation."
"Mephist will face a choice, either activate the knights he prepared for the battle against the king of hell in advance, or... it will endure its hell being split. There have always been many ambitious people in that chaotic country. Just a little blood can attract a group of bloodthirsty sharks, and no matter which choice it chooses, it will do us no harm."
Half Demon stood up, and the beating shadows enveloped him, making him look unusually haze. He glanced at Riana and said:
"Making some noise elsewhere can also cover Riana's move to collect Asgard's undead. I heard that Asgard people are all fierce and warlike warriors. They will become great warriors after their death. They will definitely surprise us."

"Buzz"
After the meeting between the sons of Hell, Merlin returned to her home in New York through the mysterious house. As soon as she opened the door of the bathroom, she saw an uninvited guy sitting on his sofa.
The guy was wearing a gray sportswear, as if he had just finished exercising. He was holding a bottle of drink in his hand, drinking while looking at the furnishings at Merlin's house bored.
The silent little wolf girl Laura sat on the other end of the sofa, playing with the game console in her hand without blinking. It was her brother. Eric, who had returned home a few days ago, bought it for her.
Laura is still very well-behaved. Although she doesn't speak, she consciously completes the homework assigned by Teacher Xuanlan every day before she starts playing games or reading comics. Well, she is not a child who likes to go out and wander around.
"Tony Stark..."
Merlin said:
"What are you doing here for me?"
"Huh? Where did you come out? I used the bathroom just now, and I didn't see you!"
Tony turned around in surprise, and he looked at Merlin as if he was looking at something strange.
"You don't understand the wizard's affairs."
Merlin answered expressionlessly, and he walked to the sofa quietly, sat between Tony and Laura, and then reached out to touch Laura's hair.
The latter raised his head, gave Merlin a fleeting smile, and then lowered his head to continue playing the game.
Tony, a desperate guy, dared to be so close to the little wolf girl. In the past three years, although Laura's temper has improved a lot, it is only for her family.
If something went wrong just now, I'm afraid the first thing Merlin did when she returned home was to clean up a tragic large corpse scene, and then inform Riana to send back Tony's soul to hell...
With the things this guy did in the first half of his life, it is impossible to go to heaven.
"I'm here today."
Tony with a hood said to Merlin while drinking a drink:
"The Ministry of Defense has a weapon bidding that requires me to participate in. But speaking of this, your place is no different from that time than it was a decade ago, and it is even more broken than that time. Why don't you change to a better place to live? Is SHIELD's funds so tight?"
Merlin didn't speak, he stared at Tony, his eyes full of coldness.
"All right."
Tony shrugged, and he took out the Avengers document that Merlin had given him from the handbag beside him and placed it in front of Merlin, he said:
"I thought about it carefully."
"Then what?"
Merlin glanced at the document and asked:
"What is your answer?"
"I... don't know, Merlin."
Tony put the drink on the table, he looked at Merlin seriously, pointing to his heart, where there was a gleaming reactor, he said:
"This thing keeps my heart beating, but the raw material it uses is palladium. My current situation is quite embarrassing. The instruments that maintain my life will also kill me. If the price of becoming a superhero is to always carry this, I guess I can't accept it."
“It’s just a small problem.”
Merlin said:
"If technology cannot solve it, I can book you the best healers in the magic circle in Europe. They can help you remove this thing without you noticing it and fix your heart problems..."
"So, it's just a botched excuse, Tony, tell me what you really think."
"Okay, it seems I can't hide it from you."
Tony shrugged, he raised his legs and put them on Merlin's coffee table, he said:
"Besides Playboy, billionaire and talented weapon designer, I actually want to try a more exciting lifestyle. But I am different from you, Merlin, all I rely on is my super mark, and I am just an ordinary person, I have my family, my career."
