Chapter 231 - Chapter 231: Selling the Soul

"Boom!" Just when the four-armed demon thought his plan had gone unnoticed, Johnny Storm suddenly appeared and hurled a burst of explosive flame at the demon, which was again blasted away by the demon, leaving a large crater in the ground.

"Ha!" On the other side, Peter Parker lifted a layer of earth from the fissure created by the wind blade and hurled it towards the four-armed demon, simultaneously shooting a web to pull Pietro.

The next moment, Pietro disappeared, charging towards the four-armed demon. The web connecting Peter Parker and Pietro was now also somewhat obscured.

"Swish!" Amid the dust raised by the explosion, the four-armed demon sent out several wind blades, shattering the large earth chunk and cutting Peter Parker and Pietro's web, creating several gashes in the ground.

It seemed that even if the four-armed demon couldn't match Pietro and Barry Allen's speed, he could keep up with them. Moreover, after cutting through the earth chunk and the web, the four-armed demon seemed to realize something and continuously sent out wind blades in all directions, forcing Peter Parker and his team to dodge continuously, causing the ground to keep cracking...

"Clang!" Soon, a collision sound came from underground. The four-armed demon hit the telekinetic wall Robert had prepared underground, causing his psyche to somewhat collapse, remaining motionless for a long while.

"He's trying to run again?" Peter Parker and the others, recognizing the familiar collision sound, instantly realized what was happening. Johnny Storm's eyes brightened, and a powerful burst of explosive flame condensed in his hands, growing brighter with time, and then he slammed it towards the source of the sound on the ground.

The pupils of Peter Parker and the others sharply contracted, their figures quickly flashing away from the spot.

Just as the four-armed demon surfaced, he was startled by the explosive flame. He tried to gather his wind power to block the explosive flame, but this was Johnny Storm's big move, concentrated over a long period, and not so easily blocked.

"Boom!" With an explosion, dust was raised once again, and Peter Parker's eyes brightened. He sensed that the threat from the four-armed demon had significantly weakened compared to before. He signaled Johnny Storm and the others, and even though Johnny was somewhat exhausted, he hadn't lost his fighting spirit. They charged once again into the dust.

"Why always thinking of running? If you weren't so focused on escaping, Peter and his team might not have won so easily..." Robert shook his head, reflecting, "But that's how battles are; sometimes, a single wrong decision can greatly affect the outcome."

From the beginning, the four-armed demon, even after devouring his companions and displaying his powers, was actually above Peter Parker and his team. Even all four of them together might not have been able to defeat the four-armed demon, especially since his wind power had suppressed Peter Parker, could keep up with Pietro and Barry Allen's speed, and counter Johnny Storm's flames. For Peter Parker's team, he was essentially without weakness.

However, the four-armed demon was always thinking about how to escape the battle rather than how to fight Peter Parker and his team. Eventually, he was heavily injured by Johnny Storm's final move, securing his defeat.

Of course, if the four-armed demon didn't have such a strong survival instinct, he wouldn't have been able to devour all his companions and survive to this point. It was his survival instinct that led to both his rise and his downfall...

"Puff!"

"Puff!"

As Robert observed the four-armed demon stepping towards death, he heard two sounds and saw Lorna and Susan Storm crush their respective demons into pulp with their telekinesis.

Truthfully, the scene was quite bloody and brutal, but Susan Storm and Lorna indeed didn't have any other way to completely dispose of the bodies...

And Robert noticed that Lorna and Susan Storm's eyes flickered with exhaustion, not of the body but of the spirit. It seemed crushing two demons with their telekinesis imposed some psychological pressure on them.

However, Robert had no intention of comforting them. They would get used to it. If they had previously taken action against demons when Robert wasn't around, they wouldn't have felt uncomfortable with the deaths of these two demons now.

Of course, if they had really killed demons before, they should have been assisting Peter Parker and his team in battle. With Susan Storm and Lorna participating, even a four-armed demon in peak condition would have struggled against the team.

Just as the four-armed demon's wind abilities somewhat countered Peter Parker and his team, Lorna and Susan Storm's telekinetic abilities also countered the wind-powered four-armed demon...

"Huff!"

"Huff!"

"We did it!" After a while, Susan Storm and Lorna both sighed deeply, forcing themselves not to look towards the demon's remains anymore, their faces pale as they spoke.

At this moment, the relationship between Susan Storm and Lorna grew much closer, especially when they saw Kara casually unleash a heat vision to dispose of the demon's remains.

On the other side, the battle with Peter Parker and his team also quickly concluded, ultimately ending with the demon bound by webs and killed on the spot by Johnny Storm, leaving no bloody scene.

And Peter Parker and his team's special training wasn't over yet, as Robert and Clark had intentionally left quite a few demons here to help them continue to improve their strength. However, with Susan Storm and Lorna rejoining the team, their weaknesses were nearly nonexistent, making it easier to handle demons of this level.

Meanwhile, as Robert and Kara continued the special training with Peter Parker, the shapeshifting demon's plan finally came to a close. Elsie Simmons, after following various false leads, finally found the target of this mission...

But what Elsie Simmons didn't expect was to find her boss, Jason Wayne, already there, as if waiting for her.

"How are you here, boss? Did you already handle it?" Facing a colleague, although Elsie Simmons was puzzled, she lowered her weapon and looked around, questioning Jason Wayne, "Where are the others?"

Being outperformed in a mission was not unfamiliar to Elsie Simmons, as secret agents often didn't even know how many teammates they had for a mission. However, Elsie Simmons had always been the most outstanding in completing missions, and being outdone this time left her somewhat unwilling to accept it...

"Who could have completed the mission?" Elsie Simmons thought, approaching Jason Wayne, but unexpectedly, Jason suddenly attacked her.

"Bang!" Elsie Simmons's gun was kicked away. She instinctively tried to counterattack Jason Wayne, but a gun pointed at her head made her stop.

"Why? Could it be this mission..." Elsie Simmons glanced at the pistol not far away and measured the distance between her and Jason Wayne, thinking she had a chance to turn the tables. Jason Wayne, having been in a high position for so long, surely couldn't match her in skills. So, if she could just distract him with some conversation, she believed she could seize a flaw and counterattack!

What if Jason Wayne didn't intend to answer? Impossible! If her boss was plotting against her, there must be a shocking conspiracy about to unfold, and how could he resist revealing it?

And don't villains in movies always end up revealing their plans? Her boss, plotting against her, must count as a complex villain, right?

"Bang!" Just as Elsie Simmons finished her thought, she suddenly heard a gunshot. Her consciousness began to drift away, and her vision blurred.

"Thud!" Soon, Elsie Simmons's body fell to the ground. With a sense of unresolved anger, she said, "Why didn't you follow the script? I can't accept this..."

Even as Elsie Simmons's life faded away, she heard no response from Jason Wayne. It was as if Jason hadn't killed a valued subordinate but rather an insignificant nobody, intensifying Elsie's feelings of injustice and resentment. However, she was unaware that someone was watching her, noticing her growing resentment and becoming increasingly interested.

"Heh, so much talk for a spy?" Jason Wayne looked at Elsie Simmons's cooling body and scoffed disdainfully, leaving a final remark before quietly disappearing from the scene, leaving no trace behind.

"Such strong resentment!" As the shapeshifting demon observed Elsie Simmons's body's resentment grow stronger, he felt incredibly excited and continued his preparations. Meanwhile, Constantine, who had been tracking the shapeshifting demon, suddenly turned his attention this way, his eyes flashing. After casting a few magical symbols, he vanished from his spot.

"Hm? Is that the demon who has the potential to become a Demon King? What is he doing? Wait, the resentment is emanating from this corpse. Does he have some scheme? Damn it!" Soon, Constantine arrived near the shapeshifting demon and Elsie Simmons, seeing the demon doing something suspicious with Elsie's body. But quickly, Constantine was startled, sensing a terrifying presence!

It was the aura of a Demon King from Hell! Constantine had encountered many Hell Demon Kings, and although he couldn't identify which one this was, he couldn't mistake the level of aura. This was undoubtedly the presence of a Demon King.

Meanwhile, as Elsie Simmons's resentment grew and her consciousness began to scatter, she suddenly found herself in the Hell dimension, in the territory of a Demon King. But her consciousness became hazy, remembering only her bitterness and resentment but forgetting the source of those feelings.

"Where is this?" Elsie Simmons looked around in a daze, feeling an immense terror but, for some reason, her resentment seemed to enjoy the surroundings.

Before Elsie Simmons could gather her thoughts, she saw a pair of terrifying eyes. In front of these eyes, her consciousness seemed to freeze, until she heard a voice.

"Are you very resentful?" The Demon King asked Elsie Simmons indifferently.

"I am resentful! I want revenge!" Elsie Simmons said instinctively, unaware of whom to seek revenge on or what for.

"Good! If you sell your soul to me, I will give you a chance at rebirth and grant you great power. You will return to Earth to complete your revenge!" The Demon King looked at Elsie Simmons, pleased, speaking authoritatively.

"Sell? My soul?" At this moment, Elsie Simmons hesitated, sensing that this was not a good thing.

"Don't worry, your soul will only belong to me if you die again. The power I grant you will make you nearly immortal. Why? Because I like your resentment," the Demon King sighed as if regretting, "Now, do you accept my power? Or do you no longer wish for revenge? Besides, do you have nothing else on Earth to cling to?"

"No! I want revenge! I want to return to Earth, to see my wife... My wife is... Hm? Who is my wife?" Elsie Simmons countered the Demon King but paused, unable to remember his wife.

"It doesn't matter. Once you return to Earth, you will remember everything!" The Demon King smiled, "You only need to pay an unmissed soul as the price..."

"I'll pay! I'm willing to pay! As long as you can give me rebirth, let me return to Earth!" At this moment, Elsie Simmons's heart was filled with resentment and longing. He wanted to find out who his enemy was, who his wife was, no matter the cost!

"Good! The deal is done!" The Demon King's amused voice echoed around. Then Elsie Simmons felt a terrifying power merge into his soul. He experienced unimaginable pain, wanting to scream out loud, but his voice didn't carry at all. Eventually, he lost consciousness under excruciating torment...
