He looked around, then stared at Mephisto. "My dear brother! Why don't you come forward? I don't want to die at the hands of others!"
Mephisto's red face changed. He had no room to retreat. If he refused, it meant admitting Kurohane's name as Satan. "Brother, let me come forward and give you a boost!" Mephisto knew he had to prove himself. He pulled the black sword from Blackheart Demon, pulling him along with him.
Father and son fighting together.
The dark sword suddenly turned into a ball of black fire, burning his arm. Mephisto frowned. He managed to extinguish the fire, but the remaining dark energy stained his palm. The purity of that energy was much higher. The wound on Blackheart's chest also didn't heal. The father and son were injured even before the fight began.
After Mephisto cleaned his wound, he started to heal Blackheart. "Dad, can we win?" Blackheart asked anxiously.
Mephisto patted Blackheart's shoulder. "We will win! Because I am the strongest! With your help, we will definitely win. When your dad becomes Satan, I will give you a large territory!"
Blackheart snorted inwardly. "If you were the strongest, I'd be a Hell Lord by now!" He was already fed up with empty promises. Mephisto didn't know what Blackheart was thinking. He was too focused on tactics.
Kurohane noticed Blackheart's thoughts through telepathy. "Interesting. It's not easy to be a crown prince for tens of thousands of years. Why don't I help him?"
Mephisto pulled Blackheart to the stone table. He walked towards Kurohane step by step. "Brother, it seems I remember something about you, which is quite interesting."
Kurohane saw Mephisto's constipated-like expression and decided to tease him. "What is it?"
Mephisto was shocked. "It seems I remember that the longer you leave your own dimension, the weaker you get, right? So all you did offstage was just trying to take advantage of the laxity. Then you gave me a chance to sneak attack you, hoping to turn the tide with this?"
Mephisto panicked. "How did he discover this little thought of mine? Was the amnesia all fake?!"
"Yes, I was just pretending. I didn't lose my memory at all," Kurohane replied casually. "I really don't know your name or your information. It's not because I lost my memory, but because I am not Dormammu at all! A reintroduction. My name is Kurohane, and I'm a human sorcerer from Kamar-Taj on Earth."
The Hell Lords were silent. Kurohane's sudden confession made them redefine their understanding of Dormammu's power. Kurohane, a human sorcerer, not only defeated Dormammu in the dark dimension, but also seized his dimension. This means he can defeat them in their hell dimensions! This is terrifying!
"But... why did you pretend to be Dormammu?" Mephisto asked, confused.
"Because it's fun," Kurohane answered, shrugging. "I was just taking a walk, and you suddenly showed up and brought me here! Anyway, Dormammu and I both control a dark dimension, so don't be too serious. You didn't say any truth either. We were just playing tricks on each other, no one got hurt!"
Kurohane knew he needed super powerful strength to face Doctor Doom. He had been eyeing these Hell Lords as his prey from the beginning. Mephisto was the perfect prey to show his strength. Kurohane revealed his identity to make the Hell Lords give up their illusions. If they are afraid of death, just hand over their dimensions. If not, come and fight.
"If you don't want to fight, come up and prostrate yourself to me, become my brother. And hand over your hell dimension..."
"That's useless," Mephisto interrupted. He knew some Hell Lords were starting to retreat. "There will be no Hell Lord here who will hand over everything he has built over the years."
"Really?" Kurohane smirked. He needed a bigger example. Mephisto was the perfect big chicken. A huge black flame sword appeared in Kurohane's right hand, and he charged towards Mephisto.
There are no rules in a fight between Hell Lords. Mephisto was no fool. When Kurohane approached, he opened a spatial portal. The portal behind him was directly connected to his dimension, and infinite energy gushed out. His power reached its peak. Even Blackheart was now as strong as the real Mephisto.
"This guy is really a cunning old fox!" Hela, who was watching, saw Mephisto's sudden surge of power. Mephisto's hell dimension area was at least twice as large as an ordinary Hell Lord's. "He pretended to be weak so that fools would come, and he could steal their dimensions. And he is the only Hell Lord who truly has the ambition to become Satan!"
"I don't know how Kurohane will deal with this human. Oh, he's a human? So, isn't he from Midgard?! In that case, he and I are on the same side! When he becomes Satan, he won't touch me, right?"
Hela was still daydreaming, but Kurohane had already plunged his black sword into Mephisto's body. "I knew my good brother couldn't possibly be weak. Pretending to be strong must be tiring, right?"
"Hehehe, if I didn't pretend to be weak, how could so many fools come to die? They thought they could easily control me, so they came to attack me with their own dimensions, and what happened?" Mephisto placed his hand on Kurohane's shoulder. The pungent smell of sulfur filled Kurohane's nostrils. Mephisto's hand was on fire with hellfire, a green flame that corrupted souls. "As a result, everyone who came to my door became my nutrients. I actually didn't intend to use force on you. You just need to continue to be amnesiac and wait for me to come. Then I will take your dark dimension, and you won't feel any pain at all. Why did you force me?"
"Get lost!" A ball of dark energy came out of Kurohane's mouth and hit Mephisto's mouth. "I don't care. Today only one of us can survive!"
Six black wings stretched out from Kurohane's back, and with a sudden force, he lifted Mephisto up. Then he charged into the hell dimension controlled by Mephisto. Before leaving, Kurohane didn't forget to take Blackheart Demon with him. He shouted loudly: "Don't say I didn't give you a chance, brother. Today, I'm going to fight you in your own dimension! Until you're convinced!"
Kurohane's sudden attack surprised everyone. When they reacted, the three of them had already rushed into the regional dimension, and Kurohane was even kind enough to close the portal.
Now, there was not a single person on the entire stone platform. Only Hela felt something was strange and glanced at the Hell Lords around her. "You say... did they run away together?"
