The power of the gods comes from all aspects, but authority is definitely an important part of the power.

A god who controls the river is definitely not as powerful as a god who controls the sun. No matter how ancient this god is or how noble the prestige is, he is not as good as a god who controls the sun.

It can be said that authority is the foundation of God. If you lose authority, this God is not a complete God.

As a part of the authority of Hell, Mephisto, who once held a certain part of the authority, was indeed a powerful monarch in the ancient times, but he had lost his authority by the Lord, exiled and sealed.

It's hard to say how much power he can have now.

Maybe he was as weak as a little demon, maybe he was as powerful as an ordinary god, and it was possible, and it depends on how much damage he suffered during the defeat, exile and sealing process, was his will broken or was it preserved quite well.

But no matter what, he cannot recover to the power he used to be, unless he can defeat the current seven monarchs of Hell and regain his own authority.

"I said, I am just an ordinary old man who guards the creature who has signed a contract with me." Mephisto repeated this sentence.

"You mean Steve signed a contract with you?" Chen Xu understood and then started to attack, "He offended the great Egyptian gods, and he must die to calm the wrath of the gods with his soul."

"Mr. Mephisto, you wouldn't want to fight against the great Egyptian gods."

Chen Xu was testing Mephisto's attitude. If he was afraid, he would kill the former monarch because he proved that his power was quite weak, but if he was strong, Chen Xu needed to further test his bottom line.

"Don't use the Egyptian gods to intimidate me. They are old, but their eyes no longer look here. If the divine power they burned in the rules of the plane still existed, I'm afraid their traces in this plane have been completely erased." Mephisto's tone was calm, like an old man who saw through the world, unhappy and not panic.

But his attitude made Chen Xu unable to understand.

"No matter what, he violated the majesty of the gods and must die." The dense scarab beetles moved and rushed towards Steve.

Steve's scalp was numb, but he didn't retreat.

"Scarlet beetle?" Mephisto sighed, and the surging scarab immediately became in chaos.

"What's going on?" Chen Xu was shocked, his mind and will penetrated into the body of every scarab.

Soon, he found the roots, and the Scarab was actually afraid of Mephisto.

Chen Xu was furious and said, "It's useless." But he still took the scarab back.

Mephisto was the former monarch of hell, and it was normal for a holy beetle to dare not pass by.

"You are a priest." Mephisto looked up and down at Chen Xu, "Prince of the Egyptian gods, but I feel the rich faith and heavy curses and resentment in you."

"You are cursed and resented by many powerful beings."

Mephisto had a sharp vision and could see the problems with Chen Xu's body at a glance.

Chen Xu asked someone to take a death sacrifice during the sacrifice, just to divert resentment, curse and the distorted emotions, but even if it is transferred, it cannot be completely transferred, because the ultimate beneficiary is him.

One or two is very weak; hundreds or thousands are not a big hidden danger; but tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, combined, are enough to form a curse that can kill people.

This curse is suppressed by Chen Xu's power and cannot be released, but if they find an opportunity, they will immediately explode and kill Chen Xu.

"You should be worshiping yourself."

"Yes, I sacrifice myself." Chen Xu told the truth.

"Speaking of this, sacrifice to ourselves is also a means of our devil. At that time, Appe was also one of the monarchs of hell and held some of the authority." Mephisto laughed and pulled into the relationship between the two, "Speaking of this, you should be my junior, and I want to give you a gift."

"No need." Chen Xu refused, accepting gifts from the devil, just kidding, who dares to accept gifts from the devil. All mortals who received gifts from the devil eventually became devil's playthings. There are not only exceptions, but very few.

"Don't compare me with those devils. Mephisto is kind and hospitality." Mephisto defended himself, but when he saw Chen Xu's disbelief, he gave up.

"Well, I know you have a deep misunderstanding about the devil, but I think you need something that can solve your hidden dangers."

"But I don't need your help." Chen Xu still kept people from thousands of miles away, and he didn't believe anything about Mephisto.

Because Mephisto's deception was basically lies, and the truth was very rare.

"Do you know you are in danger now?" Mephisto's words made Chen Xu nervous, "You are the priest of the Egyptian gods, but you sacrifice yourself, which is equivalent to betraying the Egyptian gods. When one day, the Egyptian gods' eyes look at this plane, you will die miserably."

"And you have such a strong faith in you, many devils will stare at you, wanting to replace you and seize your faith."

"You need to be on guard against the devils from hell at all times, not only the hells in the west, but also the underworlds in the east, and those guys are not easy to mess with."

"So terrifying?" Chen Xu's mind was working quickly, "They shouldn't be able to come to this plane."

He still remembers that there was a record in the Sun Gold Sutra that the plane did not allow the gods to stay for a long time. Since the gods could not, it was impossible for the devil to do so. Otherwise, the plane would become the devil's amusement park.

"Their body cannot come to this plane, but they will descend and project it if they want." Mephisto tried hard to promote the devils to a very terrifying one. "They are very powerful and terrifying. They each have their own unique powers, and even I am afraid of them."

"So Lord Mephisto, do you want to help me?" Chen Xu pointed directly at the core of the problem.

"That's right." Mephisto admitted decisively, "As long as you are willing to make a deal with me, I can protect you, just as I protect this man named Steve."

"What do I need to pay?" Chen Xu was moved.

"I only need your soul. In return, I will give you powerful strength." Mephisto was excited. He thought Chen Xu was moved, which means that a gap appeared in his heart. As long as he could get in, he could steal his soul.

He was excited when he thought of such a powerful soul, such terrifying curse and resentment, and his distorted emotions, and his strong faith made him even more happy.

For ordinary people, curses, resentments and distorted emotions are simply supreme delicacies and elixirs for them. The rich faith can be used to build a virtual kingdom of gods and lure the souls of believers over, fall and decay.

"Your purpose is my soul. All the previous ones are hypocritical lies, and they are worthy of being the devil who acts as a deceitful person." Chen Xu sneered.

Mephisto was stunned, then became angry, and then furious, a ball of inner demon emerged from the bottom of his heart and turned into a shadow.

Yin Demon absorbs the free negative energy in the world and grows wildly.

The Yin Demon, which was originally the size of a bucket, expanded to the size of a room and was then swallowed by him.

"I haven't had an inner demon for a long time." Mephisto said lightly.

The devil who had just been bred with anger was swallowed by him all at once, increasing his strength.

"You are right. I do want your soul. What a wonderful food for me. There is no more perfect food in this world than your soul." Mephisto said: "How about it, make a deal with me, give me your soul, and I will give you everything you want."

"Anything is OK?" Chen Xu asked.

"Yes, anything is OK." Mephisto's voice was dull.

"Please do something you can't do." A sneer appeared on Chen Xu's face.

This sentence is a sentence he heard before traveling through time. The original meaning of this sentence is to deny the Lord of the Catholic Church. Because the Catholic Church advocates that his Lord is omniscient and omnipotent, some people use this paradox to deny the Lord.

Almighty means that everything is possible, but if you can do anything, there will be no impossible things, and if you cannot do things, it will prove that you are not omnipotent, and you will fall into a paradox that you can deny yourself whether you do it or not.

He used this paradox to deny Mephisto, deliberately mocking him.

"Very good." Mephisto smiled, "It's a very interesting theory. Next time I can use this theory to mock the Lord that lunatic."

"Thank you for your help, I'll give you something in return."

Mephisto pointed his hand and Chen Xu's mind had a lot of inexplicable knowledge.

Chen Xu was shocked. He didn't expect that Mephisto could invade his heart so easily.

If he wanted to kill himself just now, Chen Xu was already sweating profusely when he thought of this.

"I am looking forward to when you beg me. Please remember my name. My name is Mephisto. If you encounter trouble, you can choose to recite the name silently in your heart. I will come immediately to help you. Of course, in return, you must dedicate your soul to me. This is the agreement between the two of us and our contract, under the witness of the origin of hell!"

Mephisto turned into a wisp of blue smoke and disappeared before him, and Captain America Steve was also taken away.

"What should we do now?" John, who had been afraid to speak just now, finally dared to speak.

"go back."
