Chapter 37 Gu 1: The web editor is done
The quantum realm.
Mephisto and Russell team up for a captivating performance.
Program Name:
You chase, I run; if I catch you, I'll beat you up.
The island where the group had been located had been blasted into pieces by the aftershocks of the battle between Russell and Mephisto.
Russell used the form of Ekron to create clones and cast various spells to interfere with Mephisto's pursuit.
It's worth mentioning that when the Form of Ekron was applied to Russell, the effect was somewhat off.
The clone cannot inherit Russell's physical attributes; the clone's physical attributes are determined by the amount of energy used in casting the spell.
"Master Russell, I wonder how long your energy can sustain your escape?"
Mephisto pressured Russell, constantly seeking opportunities to get close while trying to persuade him.
"Why don't we sit down and discuss the terms?"
"Ha, I can run around with you all day."
Russell, of course, did not believe Mephisto's words.
They said they wanted to have a proper talk, but He didn't seem to slow down at all.
Suddenly, Mephisto slowed down and stopped:
“Master Russell, I think we can have a good talk.”
As he spoke, Mephisto stretched out his finger and pointed to the sky.
The sky was covered with countless scarlet runes;
Underground, hellfire raged.
During his pursuit of Russell, Mephisto's attack released energy that quietly spread throughout the surroundings.
Finally, a magic circle was formed, summoning a projection of hell to descend and seal off the area.
Russell stopped in his tracks; he had nowhere to run.
......
Meanwhile, Tony, who had just emerged from the quantum realm, returned to the expo.
As soon as he came out, Tony opened a portal and left.
He's going to Kamar-Taj to find the Ancient One.
Tony, eager to leave, didn't notice that a small portion of the Expo ruins had already been cleared away.
The news of his appearance and departure quickly reached S.H.I.E.L.D.
To Tony's surprise, he was not teleported directly into Kamar-Taj, but was stopped outside.
“I am Tony, and I have urgent business with the Master.”
Mo Du stepped forward from the crowd and said through the protective shield:
“Tony, go back. The Sorcerer Supreme isn’t in Kamar-Taj; she’s fighting a powerful magical being.”
“Mephisto?” Tony asked.
“I don’t know.” Mordo shook his head. “The mage didn’t say. She only asked us to be on full alert to guard against the invasion of magical dimensions.”
Tony frowned; he had obtained too little information.
It's impossible to tell whether Gu Yi went to support Russell or was held up by other matters.
"When the Sorcerer Supreme returns, please tell her that Russell is fighting Mephisto in the Quantum Realm."
The situation is urgent; do not delay.
"Russell is fighting Mephisto?"
Among the monks below, someone suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Tony and Russell were names that many people had heard of.
—They have the privilege of freely entering and leaving Kamar-Taj to study.
They had only met Russell a few times, but he left a deep impression on them.
He studied magic, but only sporadically.
He hasn't been to Kamar-Taj many times in the past few months.
But it is exceptionally powerful.
They had discussed privately many times that when they met their junior brother, they would persuade him to calm down and study magic properly.
But every time I see Russell, I forget about it.
Over time, everyone understood.
Their spiritual strength was far inferior to Russell's, and they were unknowingly influenced.
But Russell versus Mephisto?
real or fake.
That's the Lord of Hell, a figure who commands respect across the multiverse.
Ignoring the commotion among the mages below, Tony opened a portal and headed to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.
Now he can only look around and see if he can bring in reinforcements.
As soon as the portal opened, it immediately attracted the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, who pointed their guns at the portal.
The agents relaxed slightly when they saw Iron Man emerge from the building, but none of them put down their weapons.
"Put the gun down."
Upon hearing the commotion and coming out, Coulson saw the scene and immediately ordered the agents to lift the alert.
"Tony, what brings you here? You didn't even let us know."
Coulson subtly expressed his dissatisfaction with Tony's unannounced arrival at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.
“Coulson, I’m sorry, but I have more important things to do right now.”
Tony apologized, then got straight to the point.
"I want to know how much S.H.I.E.L.D. knows about Mephisto."
"Mephisto, the devil in Faust?"
Coulson was puzzled.
He didn't understand why both Tony and Dr. Pym had mentioned this mythical figure.
"Mephisto is not just a mythical figure. He truly exists and is the lord of the Hell dimension."
Tony explained.
"Does S.H.I.E.L.D. have any information on this?"
"I don't know, but the classified information I have access to as an agent doesn't involve Mephisto."
Coulson shook his head first, then said.
"However, I've been hearing that name quite often from Dr. Pym these past few days."
"Dr. Pym? A few days?" Tony asked, puzzled. "Jarvis, check the date."
"Sir, New York time, June 4, 2011."
Four days have passed?
Tony was incredulous.
In his recollection, he spent no more than an hour in the quantum realm.
"Take me to see Dr. Pym."
Tony's eyes flashed, and he said to Coulson.
The flow of time in the real world is different from that in the quantum realm.
In the real world, there is more time to prepare.
I can assemble a team to support Russell.
Tony decisively abandoned Russell and left the quantum realm, not out of cowardice or a desire to escape, but because he was thinking of seeking help.
This misunderstanding is caused by information asymmetry.
Of course, this wasn't something Russell and the Ancient One deliberately kept from Tony.
Things are accomplished in secrecy, and ruined by being revealed.
When Tony confronts Mephisto, it's difficult for him to keep his composure and not reveal the secret.
......
“Master Russell, you have nowhere to run. Let’s talk some terms.”
"Russell, the magic array is set up, we can close the net now."
The voices of Mephisto and the Ancient One reached Russell's ears one after the other.
Russell, with an upright and righteous expression, said, "I never negotiate with evil or crooked ways."
"Oh."
Mephisto chuckled and snapped his fingers.
Crimson runes flashed in the sky, and countless chains of energy descended from the heavens, shooting towards Russell.
Despite his attempts to dodge, Russell was still locked in a restraint on his limbs and torso.
Mephisto walked through the void and stood before Russell:
“Master Russell, whether or not to talk is not up to you.”
Whether you want to sign this contract today or not, you have to.
You have to sign whether you want to or not!
Russell suddenly grinned, revealing his teeth: "Really? I don't think so."
As the innate energy absorption was activated, the chains binding Russell quickly dimmed and then dissipated.
Russell clenched his right fist, gathering divine power within it.
A punch was thrown, slamming into Mephisto's face, who was caught off guard.
boom! boom! boom!
Mephisto flew out in response.
Three explosions rang out from the air.
"When dealing with evil spirits, there's no need to talk about chivalry. Ancient One, let's go side by side."
