Chapter 152 Mephisto's Scheme: Using One Tiger to Devour Another?

After being extorted for two billion units of energy during his first encounter with Russell, the Whitebeard Ancient One, and the Bald Ancient One, Mephisto has been looking for an opportunity to get revenge.

But it's impossible for Him to personally participate.

Even within his own hellish dimension, He was hesitant to fight the Russell (two) Ancient One trio, let alone outside that dimension, in the real universe.

So Mephisto came up with a plan: to use one tiger to devour another.

First, use Hope the Wasp II to find Agatha Christie, the witch.

Then, using Agatha, they opened a cross-dimensional portal to release Kur Boerson, who was sealed away from Earth-616.

Kuer Borsen, Odin's elder brother.

Also known as the Great Serpent, the god of fear, it can enhance its own abilities by drawing upon the fear of others.

If the giant serpent comes to this Earth, it will inevitably clash with Russell, the Ancient One, and others.

The former will inevitably commit massacres indiscriminately in order to spread fear.

The latter, in order to protect the real world, must stop the giant serpent.

Mephisto will then be able to sit back and watch the two sides fight it out, and reap the benefits once both sides are exhausted.

Not only can you reclaim your own energy, but if you're lucky, you can also gain several powerful mage souls.

This was Mephisto's plan.

An ordinary apartment in Queens, New York.

Agatha, using the pseudonym Agnes, is preparing her evening presentation slides.

Since schools reopened, tutoring sessions have been moved from the daytime to the evening.

Suddenly, a crimson mist billowed out of the room.

An elderly man dressed in an expensive suit, looking every bit the British gentleman, emerged from the mist.

"Agatha Harkness, it's been a long time."

Agatha looked at the old man warily and asked, "Mephisto, what brings you here? Our contract has ended."

Agatha once borrowed dark energy from Mephisto.

He then signed a contract and became Mephisto's apostle.

But when Mephisto fell from his position as Satan, many dark magicians like Agatha joined forces to force Mephisto to break his contract.

In theory, Agatha and Mephisto are no longer subordinate to each other.

In reality, Mephisto is also powerless in this dimension of reality.

As long as Agatha doesn't actively borrow power from Mephisto and sign a contract, Mephisto can't do anything about her.

"Agatha the Witch, one deal is done. Naturally, the next deal will begin."

Compared to the wary Agatha, Mephisto appeared calm and composed.

“I know you’ve been seeking greater magical power. And I can provide that power. Why not make a deal?”

"Heh~"

Agatha let out a cold laugh.

She also realized at this moment that in this dimension of reality, Mephisto was powerless against her.

"I do want to seek greater power, but I will not be foolish enough to make a deal with the Demon King again."

"Mephisto, there's no fool in this world who would make a second deal with a liar like you."

Mephisto smiled calmly.

He also knew that his reputation wasn't very good.

In this world, some transactions require reputation. But more often, they require profit.

Agatha Christie was wrong. There are many people in this world who make multiple deals with Mephisto.

For example, Bertrand Russell.

The first transaction yielded two billion units of energy from Mephisto.

The second deal involved taking three souls from Mephisto's hell.

He wouldn't mind making a few more deals with Mephisto.

“Agatha, why don’t you listen to my demands and payment first?”

"No matter how tempting your reward may be, I will not agree to it, Mephisto."

"Because I know you won't pay me at all."

Agatha scoffed coldly. Mephisto ignored Agatha's mockery.

He came to find Agatha, naturally having made ample preparations.

"You're approaching a girl, trying to steal the magical power within her, right?"

"But you won't succeed. Want to know why?"

Agatha's expression changed: "You're going to stop me?"

"Do not."

Mephisto shook his head, turned his body to the side, and looked in the direction of the Masikmov Milk Tea Shop, which was also the direction of the Russell Bookstore.

“Agatha, didn’t you notice? There’s a powerful mage next to that girl.”

"His power far exceeds your imagination. He can kill you instantly if you reveal your intentions."

"Even if you absorbed that girl's magic, chaos magic."

Agatha's face darkened further: "You can't fool me, Mephisto."

"You should have noticed that the area around the Masikmov milk tea shop and the bookstore next door is under some kind of mind-suggestion magic, right?" Mephisto asked.

“Of course I know. Wasn’t it that girl who did it? Mind control is one of the abilities she awakened,” Agatha retorted.

"No, the bookstore owner cast the spell."

“Agatha, if you observe carefully, you should be able to discover that the essence of this magic is different from chaos magic.”

Mephisto explained.

“Even so, does that prove how powerful this mage is?” Agatha questioned.

By this time, she was beginning to believe Mephisto a little.

Mephisto: Please watch the video.

A crimson mist shimmered, forming a phantom screen.

On the screen, Russell was shown fighting Mephisto in the quantum realm.

Moreover, the selection is the latter half, showing Russell beating Him.

The bald-headed Ancient One, who was standing by, was also in the frame.

"Agatha, even if you are lucky enough to successfully absorb that girl's energy."

"But facing the Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One, and this Sorcerer Russell, I'm afraid you have no chance of winning."

Mephisto's voice was seductive.

"But if we cooperate, we can kill them both."

"At that time, no one will stop you from trying to absorb that girl's energy."

Agatha stared at the virtual screen, carefully observing Russell and the Ancient One in the distance.

She recognized Russell!

That killer star who sank Sakurajima and annihilated the Sakura God System.

After a long pause, Agatha asked, "What do I need to do?"

Mephisto's lips curled into a smile; he knew Agatha had taken the bait.

"You only need to open a gap in this real-world defense array, and leave the rest to me."

"This shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"

“How can I guarantee my safety?” Agatha explained. “Mephisto, you probably don’t understand.”

"In this world, someone previously opened the defensive magic circle and let a demon in."

"After that, the entire pantheon was wiped out."

"It was done by the so-called Bertrand Russell you mentioned."

Mephisto was secretly alarmed, but remained calm and composed.

He hadn't even noticed this news.

After all, He doesn't spend all day watching the world.

“Agatha, if you want to absorb that girl, you will inevitably have to take risks.”

"Unless you abandon your plan."
