Chapter 2070: Pit the Demon King
"Of course they are used as cannon fodder, Mephisto. I will not hide it from you. The Celestials and the Eternals will join the battle. Therefore, we need a large number of troops to fight to the death on Earth."
Zombie Death said: "Of course, if you are afraid, you can choose to retreat. I will pretend that I have never seen you and will not disclose this matter to other demon kings."
"God Group?"
Mephisto was a little surprised, then shook his head and said, "Death, you don't have to provoke me. No matter how powerful the Celestials are, they are not more powerful than the God of Creation. They can't scare me.
Fine, I will lead the remaining demon kings and an elite army of demons to follow you into battle. However, we will add a clause to the contract: if you have already lost, or if one of you and Galactus dies and surrenders, then the contract will end.
I can't risk my life for you. This is just a deal, an ordinary deal."
"What's so ordinary about it?"
Death secretly complained that Mephisto sold half of the demons of Hell to them in exchange for ascending the throne. It must be said that Mephisto was indeed cruel.
"Okay, if we lose, you will retreat even without this."
The zombie Death nodded, and then the two parties began to sign the contract. Both Deaths knew very well that the demon kings liked to tamper with the contract, so they checked it carefully three times before signing their names.
At the same time, a contract was passed to Tunxing. Tunxing took a look at it and signed his name. Then, he asked Andrew's consciousness, "Are you not going to stop this?"
"Why stop it?"
Andrew laughed and said, "In this world, whether you are an enemy or a friend is not fixed."
"I don't understand. Since you don't stop me, I won't care."
Star Swallow shook his head and opened his mouth to swallow a demon king whole. Iron Man hurriedly said, "You can't swallow it all. You have to leave part of the body and let him turn into a zombie."
Swallow looked at Iron Man and spit out a skeleton. Iron Man was speechless. His digestion ability was really amazing. He looked at the skeleton on the ground and touched his chin. He wondered if there was a metal demon king among the demon kings. If there was, his strength would improve by leaps and bounds.
After signing the contract, the relationship between Zombie Death and Mephisto became much closer. Mephisto said, "The demon kings have agreed that in half an hour, they will attack you in the valley ahead. Be prepared and have Galactus ambush you."
"You plan to defeat them one by one? You think too much. We thought about this problem when we split our forces into two groups. You have no hope at all."
Zombie Death said disdainfully, they have Captain America, the most powerful tactical expert in the United States, how could they make such a low-level mistake?
"That would be easier."
Mephisto smiled and said, "Demons are the least united race in the universe, so for this sneak attack, the tactic we adopt is to fight on our own.
To put it simply, a group of demon kings rushed forward and fought each other. With my help, you can easily deal with them."
When a group of vagrants fight against a group of elite troops, the result is obvious. The time difference alone is enough to cause the demons to suffer heavy losses, not to mention the existence of Mephisto as an insider.
The zombie Death's eyes lit up, and he specifically called Captain America over to formulate tactics. Captain America was shocked when he saw Mephisto. He racked his brains but could not imagine that the devil would come to cooperate with the zombies. What's wrong with Mephisto's brain?
"No wonder people say demons are evil and cunning."
Captain America shook his head. Of course, this was a good thing for them. He discussed carefully with Mephisto, formulated various tactics, and waited for the demons to come and die.
The demons didn't know this. They still thought they had a great chance of winning this time. After all, this was their territory and the will of hell would help them. They would never have thought that someone's imagination was so out of this world that he could come up with such a crazy thing as cooperating with zombies.
"I have to say, original body, you are still more insidious."
Mephisto sighed, and Andrew said with disgust: "Did you come up with this by yourself? What does it have to do with me? I am a righteous savior."
Mephisto booed, and when the time came, a group of demon kings, led the elite demons, went to the valley to attack the team of dead zombies.
Originally, the demons wanted to catch the zombies off guard, but they didn't expect that the zombies had prepared in advance and set up a space-dividing magic circle in the valley.
If the demons are united and organized, then this magic circle is useless, because the demons can break the magic circle in a short time. Moreover, they are united and are not afraid of being attacked.
The problem is that the demons are not united, and after being separated, their first thought is not to find other people, but to defend themselves directly on the spot to avoid being attacked.
In this situation, the zombies took advantage of their numbers to easily defeat and even kill the demon kings. What's worse was that the Star Devourers had been lurking in the valley early in the morning and attacked at the same time as the zombies, severely damaging the demon king's army.
When the demons finally escaped from the space-dividing magic circle, they found that most of their army were killed or injured, and many were being surrounded and eaten by zombies. They were immediately filled with grief.
They came with great momentum, thinking they could successfully drive the zombies out of hell, but in the end, they were beaten half to pieces as soon as they met. It was really tragic.
"Why is this happening? Damn it, run away."
The demon kings had no time to think and tried their best to escape from the valley. As for the overall situation and the lives of their teammates, they no longer cared about them. They only cared about whether they could escape.
Fortunately, it is the nature of zombies to eat, so many zombies gave up attacking the enemy and frantically gnawed on the corpses on the ground. This gave the demons an opportunity, and more than a dozen demons successfully broke through.
Among these dozen demon kings, the strongest and most prestigious one is the traitor Mephisto. Of course, no one knows about this now.
After finally escaping to the throne of hell, the demon kings finally breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other in embarrassment and almost cried.
When they left, there were nearly a hundred demon kings, plus a large group of elite demons. It was a huge force. When they came back, there were only a dozen demon kings with missing limbs. How could this be described by just one word, "miserable"?
"Now is not the time to be sad. We have to think about how to survive."
Mephisto sighed pretentiously and said, "Once the zombies have finished eating, they will bring a large number of demon kings who have transformed into zombies to besiege this place together. Even the will of hell will no longer be able to protect us. In other words, we will be dead by then."
"Let's run away quickly."
The eight-legged devil shouted in fear: "Escape to the magic plane outside and hide for a while. Wait until the zombies leave hell and then come back. Once there is no food in hell, the zombies will definitely leave. They come to hell just to find food."
"good idea."
The other demon kings nodded one after another. If they couldn't defeat him, could they still escape? As long as they survived, they would win sooner or later.
"You can try to leave. By the way, I have already tried it on the way."
Mephisto said, the demon kings were stunned, and then they all tried to leave hell. To their horror, they could not leave because hell was blocked.
The eight-legged demon king shouted in horror: "How could this happen? Why is hell sealed off?"
"Have you forgotten that Death and Galactus are the gods of creation? How difficult would it be for them to temporarily seal off Hell?"
Mephisto sneered: "If I could escape, you wouldn't see me here at all, because I would have escaped on the way."
The demon kings looked at Mephisto in silence. This guy was really a complete bachelor. The Toxic Demon King shouted, "We can't beat him, and we can't escape. What should we do? Are we just going to die here?"
No one except Mephisto could answer this question. The demon kings were like ants on the hot pot, extremely anxious but unable to leave the pot.
Just when everyone was in despair, Mephisto said: "There is a way for us to escape."
All the demon kings looked at Mephisto: "What method?"
"Choose a master of hell and let him lead us to survive."
Mephisto said: “I have confirmed that the Zombie Demon King is not qualified to become the Lord of Hell. In other words, as long as we, the more than ten Demon Kings, designate one of them to be the Lord of Hell, then that Demon King can become the Lord of Hell.
The Lord of Hell is powerful enough to fight against the God of Creation. Even if he loses, he can still lead us to break through the blockade and leave Hell."
"That makes sense."
The demon kings' eyes lit up, and then the atmosphere suddenly became strange. The demon kings looked at each other, but no one spoke.
It is normal to become like this, everyone wants to be the lord of hell, but the problem is, there is only one position for the lord of hell, that is to say, other demon kings are all enemies, and the previous state of sticking together was instantly broken.
"I know there will be a lot of wrangling going on. Let's sign a contract."
Mephisto said: "Decide who will be the Lord of Hell within five minutes. If we can't decide within five minutes, we will both be seriously injured.
Well, we can also die at the same time, because if we can't handle this within five minutes, our fate will be to become food, and then become zombies.
Besides, we agreed that we can start the fight here, because this safe zone will soon become unsafe anyway."
"can."
The demon kings looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Then, everyone signed the contract and once again returned to the strange state as before, with no one speaking.
"It's almost time."
Mephisto suddenly laughed, and the demon kings were stunned. The eight-legged demon king asked, "Mephisto, what time is it?"
"Of course it's the time when the curse takes effect and when the ambush arrives."
Mephisto laughed, and the next second, all the demon kings felt themselves becoming weaker, with their strength reduced by at least 30%.
