"Negotiate? What's there to negotiate?"
Wang Yan raised his head slightly, looking at Mephisto after hearing his words.
Just moments ago, Mephisto threatened his loved ones, but now, he was wearing a smile.
"Sorcerer, we don't have deep hatred for each other. Given this, we can totally make peace!"
"What do you think?"
"Rest assured, I can promise you that I will never come to Earth again!"
"If you don't believe me, we can sign a contract!"
Mephisto's face showed a flattering smile as he waved his hand, making a parchment appear before him.
This scene left Vision and Wanda in the distance, somewhat incredulous.
After all, Mephisto is the legendary Lord of Hell.
In legends, even God had to avoid this Lord of Hell.
Primarily because Mephisto is known online as a devil who plays with human nature.
They had never seen him bow to anyone, and humans lost their souls wherever he went.
But now he was yielding to Wang Yan.
This was unimaginable to them.
Even Vision, who had recently developed human emotions, couldn't help but be shocked.
However, Wang Yan did not relax his guard just because Mephisto bowed his head.
His expression did not change at all as he looked at Mephisto.
He didn't believe a single word Mephisto said.
After all, Mephisto was a demon who thrived on deceit and lies. Believing him could lead to losing everything.
As for the contract Mephisto mentioned, it could have been more trustworthy.
A contract drafted by Mephisto himself would lead one into his trap, being led by the nose.
Wang Yan did not want to give this guy a chance.
It was best not to deal with such schemers. Since the fight had already started, there was no way to let him go.
"Sorcerer, you have to believe me, I can agree to any condition as long as we can reconcile!"
Mephisto looked at Wang Yan, hoping for his agreement.
"I think we can have a good talk; there's nothing we can't discuss!"
"After all, we don't have much enmity!"
"..."
Mephisto kept watching Wang Yan, his tone seeming quite sincere.
As if he genuinely meant it.
Wang Yan looked at Mephisto and shook his head slightly before saying, "We've fought to this extent, and you say we don't have much enmity?"
They had already fought to the death. If it weren't for Mephisto realizing he had provoked Kamar-Taj, he wouldn't have given up easily.
Only he knew whether Mephisto's intention to reconcile was real or fake.
"We were just fighting out of misunderstanding, not real enemies!"
Hearing Wang Yan's words, Mephisto quickly defended, not wanting to continue fighting with Wang Yan.
"Now your power should be insufficient to use that strange escape magic again, right?"
Wang Yan had just used the Blade of Space to cut into Mephisto's body, limiting his power.
Hearing Wang Yan's words, Mephisto's face darkened.
He realized his power was indeed restricted.
"Were you stalling for time just now?"
Mephisto finally understood why Wang Yan had said he could leave; it was just to cooperate with his act.
"Just cooperating with your performance. A one-and-done solution, it's what you like and what I like!"
Wang Yan smiled slightly, speaking calmly.
Mephisto frowned. He naturally wanted to kill Wang Yan once and for all, but he had given up because of Wang Yan's intense power.
A flash of purple light appeared in Wang Yan's hand, forming a long sword.
It was the Holy Sword of the Vishanti.
"Hope you can withstand it this time!"
As Wang Yan spoke, he rushed toward Mephisto.
Seeing this, Mephisto's face turned grim. It was difficult for him to dodge now.
He moved his hands without hesitation, clapping them together, and a dense black light gathered.
In an instant, a terrifying dark magic gathered.
The surrounding ground's skeletons gathered, forming a shield.
A giant skeletal shield!
"Death Barrier!"
After forming such a strong shield, Mephisto's face did not relax; instead, it turned more serious.
He could only use about one percent of his power now.
A purple light gathered at this moment, flashing down onto his Death Barrier.
This shield, which could immunize most magic and block countless attacks, was unable to withstand this young man's attack and was directly torn apart.
Seeing this, Mephisto's face changed dramatically.
He retreated quickly while the purple light approached swiftly.
Seeing Wang Yan quickly approaching, Mephisto's face turned pale.
He chanted spells, trying to cast some magic.
Countless black mists gathered like ghouls before him, hoping to block the attack.
Previously, Mephisto could easily block such an attack by losing some power and turning into mist.
But now he couldn't do it.
After completing these defenses, Mephisto breathed a sigh of relief, hoping they could hold up.
But before long, a flash of purple light descended.
Tearing through the black mist, the long sword slashed down.
Mephisto's face changed drastically.
Before he could react, the purple light brightened, illuminating the sky.
Mephisto's body was cut in half.
Powerful purple energy corroded his body.
He wouldn't die quickly with Mephisto's strength, but now the purple energy prevented his wounds from healing.
Mephisto could only use his power and the weakening hell energy to erode this force.
But it wasn't easy.
Wang Yan's power, enhanced by multiple forces, was too strong for the restricted Mephisto to resist.
This power wouldn't kill him immediately, but it was excruciating.
And for a being like Mephisto, the damage was immense.
If it were an ordinary person facing this power, they would have broken down long ago.
Fortunately, Mephisto's strength was formidable, allowing him to endure.
But his gaze towards Wang Yan was filled with fear.
Luckily, he had read the Darkhold before; otherwise, he would have fared worse.
Wang Yan looked at the fallen Mephisto, unable to merge and heal, without a trace of pity.
Mephisto was toyed with people's fates and was far more cruel than this.
He had no reason to pity him.
With a flash of light, Wang Yan's sword slashed down again.
Seeing this, Mephisto, knowing the sword's power, naturally didn't want to be hit.
Though fallen and unable to stand, he could still cast magic.
The ground's skeletons shook.
They formed a giant hand, striking towards Wang Yan.
Seeing this, Wang Yan gathered thunder in his palm, shooting it out with his left hand. The lightning struck the giant skeletal hand, causing a rumbling sound.
The skeletons crumbled under the lightning.
Wang Yan looked at Mephisto, whose light had faded, revealing a crack in the void.
"Kid, your power is indeed strong, but dealing with me is not easy!"
Mephisto's voice came, and he tore through the void, heading to hell.
"You want to leave? I won't let you!"
Wang Yan struck the ground with his palms, spreading immense divine power.
With the absorbed annihilation power, his divine power was immensely amplified.
The power swept over Mephisto.
Boom!
Mephisto's power dissipated, and a book fell.
Wang Yan caught the book.
"The Darkhold, no wonder you could open the hell portal!"
In normal circumstances, Mephisto would have lost his power by now, unable to cast any magic.
But he opened the hell portal and dispersed Wang Yan's power.
Now, with the Darkhold in hand, Wang Yan didn't lose out. This was his goal.
"Return the Darkhold to me!"
A roar came from hell—it was Mephisto.
Soon, he reappeared before Wang Yan.
After returning to hell to heal, Mephisto had regained much of his strength. Even on Earth, his power was now immense.
"It seems this book is very important to you!"
Wang Yan looked at Mephisto and spoke calmly.
