"ato'na"
The last syllable sounded.
The entire hall of the church shook violently. An invisible force rippled in the air like water.
Immediately after.
The ancient sheepskin scroll ignited with flames. The originally shabby appearance gradually faded, and the names of the three thousand Saints that had been sealed for a long time became like blazing lava, slowly flowing on the surface of the contract.
The true Contract of San Venganza finally shed its disguise and appeared in front of everyone!
The sealed souls of the three thousand Fallen Saints felt the shackles of the contract being broken.
Ah -
Ferocious and terrifying human faces appeared on the surface of the scroll from time to time, and they let out sharp howls as if they were ready to move, wanting to break free from the control of the contract!
Gusts of cold wind blew, the wails of ghosts and the howls of wolves!
The entire church, as well as San Venganza, were shrouded in boundless darkness. Lod, who was in the center, was surrounded by dense dark energy!
"Eat them..."
"Eat them..."
"Eat them..."
"What are you still hesitating for?"
"Don't you desire to obtain power?"
"As long as you eat these souls, you will be able to obtain even more power than Mephisto!"
Evil voices echoed in Lod's mind, tempting him to devour souls of these Saints!
That was...
The voice of power was calling out!
The unparalleled power was waving at him. As long as he swallowed the fallen saint soul, he could obtain power beyond Mephistoin an instant and become a giant in the universe!
Latitude, dimension, universe...
The great power that controlled everything was in his hands at this moment. With just a small thought, he could become the supreme existence in the entire universe!
"Power... I want power..."
Lod's eyes suddenly became sluggish, becoming like a puppet controlled by someone, slowly unfolding the entire contract.
Yes... That's it!
Mephisto, who saw all of this, curved his lips imperceptibly, and a hint of pride flashed through his eyes.
Finally, he took the bait!
It was not in vain that he had played so many tricks. He had finally been fooled by this man. As long as he could devour fallen Saint's soul, then his plan, which had been planned for thousands of years, was truly completed!
Come on...
Come on...
Hurry up and devour them!
Under Mephisto's expectant gaze, Lod released the sealed Fallen Saint. Then, he swallowed all the wandering souls into his body like a whale swallowing the sea!
In an instant!
A violent wave of dark energy.
Like a terrifying hurricane that could destroy the heavens and earth, it swept through the entire San Venganza!
"Ah..."
In the next moment, Lod suddenly held his head and let out a scream.
His face became extremely sinister and terrifying in an instant. Black veins covered his face as he squirmed like a living creature!
Those corrupted saints that had been devoured contained thousands of years of negative emotions, as well as extremely evil energy, constantly rampaged through his mind like a tide!
"Hahaha... haha..."
Mephistosaw this scene and could not help but be overjoyed. He looked up at the sky and laughed, "My plan has finally succeeded!"
"Mephisto!"
Hearing this, Lod's eyes suddenly erupted with a terrifying bloody light. He glared at Mephistofiercely, "You... You actually schemed against me"
"Lod Carl, do you really think that someone can threaten me?" Mephistoheld his walking stick with both hands and revealed a mocking expression, "All of this is just a trap I set for you!"
"Ah! Mephisto!" Lod half knelt on the ground in pain, his eyes filled with flames of anger. "Don't be too arrogant. Do you really think you can defeat me with just a few thousand souls"
"Defeat you?"
Mephistopheles sneered and said, "Don't overestimate yourself. You are just a newly promoted Lord of Hell. Is there any value in me defeating you?"
Just like declaring victory, Mephistofelt that victory was in his grasp. After Lod had no chance of turning the tables, he revealed his plan, "Lod Carl, from the beginning, you were the vessel I chose."
"What" Lod was shocked and looked incredulous. "No... This is impossible. Don't try to lie to me!"
"Haha..." Mephistopheles laughed again, "You don't really think that I was threatened by you, so you told you the contract spell, do you?"
"Isn't it... isn't it?" Lod still looked like he was in great pain as he spoke with great difficulty.
"Of course not!"
Mephisto smiled sinisterly, "All of this was a trap that I had set up a long time ago. I was waiting for you to walk right into my trap, including the contract I gave you. It was within my expectations, just to let you take the initiative to devour those souls!"
"So... that voice was you!"
Lod widened his eyes, as if he could not believe all of this. Then he said with a very painful expression, "Then the vessel you were talking about... what's going on?"
"Hahahaha, haven't you figured it out yet?"
Mephistopheles had a mocking expression on his face. He leaned on his walking stick and slowly walked forward. Then, he looked down at Lod, who was struggling and screaming in pain. He mocked, "You don't really think that the big plan I set up for thousands of years is for these mere thousands of souls, do you?"
Lod raised his head with difficulty and asked, "Isn't it... to open the Gates of Hell?"
"Of course not, idiot."
Mephisto's lips curled into a cold smile, and his eyes revealed a proud expression. After he swept past everyone present, he finally revealed the truth. "The contract you have always been pursuing is actually just to select a suitable vessel to carry the souls of these Fallen Saints!"
"What exactly is a vessel?" Lod asked.
"The true function of the container is a 'key'!" Mephistoheld the cane and tapped the ground under his feet. Then, he laughed, "And the function of this key is to help me open this holy land!"
"Holy... Land"
A thought flashed through Lod's mind.
"Still haven't reacted? Lod Carl!"
Mephisto shook his head and said with a regretful look, "It's such a pity. I thought you were very smart, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid. How can a land that can make angels come to shine and even give birth to three thousand Saints be an ordinary land?"
"I see. I understand now!" After hearing this, Lod's face suddenly changed. He said in shock, "The land of the San Venganza is your real goal, and the contract is only used to fool people and pick the tools for the container key!"
"Congratulations, you finally understand. Unfortunately, it is too late!" Mephisto slowly said, "Soon, you will be devoured by the Fallen Saint. In the end, you will become the key to help me open this land."
"I have another question..." Lod raised his head unwillingly and asked, "San Venganza... What is it? Tell me, I don't want to die for no reason!"
"Well... for the sake of being a Lord of Hell, I'll tell you." Mephistopheles pondered for a moment and felt that Lod was no longer a threat. He might as well tell him, "San Venganza was actually a fragment of heaven that fell into the world a long time ago."
"Interesting, a fragment of heaven?"
Lod slowly stood up from the ground. The black gas around him instantly disappeared, and a familiar smile appeared on his face again. "Although it is roughly the same as what I guessed, I still have to thank you for your answer, my dear ---Mr. Mephisto."
At this moment.
The smile on Mephisto gradually became stiff.
