"Otherwise, I will fight you, the Holy See, to the death."
"The dimensional portal has opened, and you and I are fighting for our two worlds in another dimension. You took advantage of the situation and knocked down my clone, but that's not much of a disturbance or sudden change. If you dare to take another step forward, it will be a cataclysmic event."
"I, Mephisto, am the Demon King of Hell, and my king shall not be insulted..."
Mephisto has a whole repertoire of witty remarks.
If it weren't for the certainty that Mephisto's soul remained unchanged, Renn would have thought that the guy had been possessed by An Lan.
"Such witty talk! Freeze me! Capture my soul!"
He used the two divine powers of immobilization and soul-capturing again to temporarily seal Mephisto away.
Immediately afterwards, Rein used the Blood-Transforming Demon Blade to pierce Mephisto's chest and extracted thirteen drops of the Demon King's essence blood from his heart.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Mephisto's primordial blood essence appeared in the world, hellfire rose from it.
In the blink of an eye, terrifying hellfire had instantly spread to Rein's entire body.
Until this moment.
Mephisto then revealed an extremely sinister and ferocious smile, roaring to the sky.
"You damn bastard, you think I don't know what you're up to?"
"They covet my origin, they covet my hellfire."
"Now I'll let you taste the power of hellfire. It will burn your soul to charred dust along with all the sins you've committed throughout your life..."
"Impossible, this is impossible. There is no one in the world who is without sin."
"You're trying to fool me with illusions again? Don't even think about it! Damn the Holy See of Light, I'll fight you to the death!"
Terrifying hellfire swirled around Renn.
However, because Raine had transferred all his demonic karma into the Yellow Springs Feast Diagram, the hellfire did not harm Raine in the slightest. Instead, it chased after the demonic karma and poured back into hell.
Hellfire is far more swift and deadly than any malevolent spirit or ghost when it comes to killing demons.
The ferocious and domineering hellfire even ignited the demonic energy within a radius of tens of thousands of miles in hell.
The earth shattered, lava spewed forth, and hellfire flowed through it all.
Wherever it passed, the demons, as numerous as mountains and seas, perished on the spot in this terrifying outburst, and were swept away by the vengeful spirits and ghosts, and carried into the Yellow Springs Feast.
And this time.
Taking advantage of the backflow of hellfire from the dimensional portal, Raine quickly used the thirteen drops of Mephisto's heart's blood essence, combined with the hellish power from the horned demon, to forge a small bundle of firewood.
A surge of immense power intercepted a trace of the Hellfire's essence, offering it as firewood.
Hellfire, success is within reach.
Chapter 166 The Sacrificed Golden Court Vampires
The lifeblood of the Lord of Hell can only be extracted while he is alive.
Otherwise, this clone would die before...
Mephisto could easily extract most of his essence in an instant and bring it back to the Hell dimension.
In this case, even the essence of blood extracted from the corpse would be ineffective.
Unlike the Eternal Flame, which the Ancient One obtained from Odin through a combination of stealing and trading.
The separation of the Eternal Flame naturally carries some of the origins of the Muspelheim dimension.
Anyway, for Odin, that thing was also a matter of giving away other people's money, dividing up the power and authority of the fire giants, so even weakening them a little would be good.
But the Hellfire was forcibly stolen from Mephisto's clone by Raine.
This thing has no roots.
That's why Renn needed to extract thirteen drops of his heart's essence from Mephisto.
One of the drops merged with the hellish power emanating from the horned demon, enhancing its ability to withstand attacks.
The remaining twelve drops were arranged into a simplified version of the Twelve Yuan Chen Grand Array, drawing upon the power of time to maintain the original source and transforming into firewood to nourish the hellfire.
They bought time, waiting for Raine to completely refine and subdue the Hellfire, transforming it into his own divine fire.
Upon witnessing this scene, Mephisto went completely mad.
That damned bastard, that despicable thief.
This Nimakov, well, what's the difference between him and a minotaur right now?
"The Holy See of Light has gone too far."
Mephisto no longer cared about recouping his costs. His avatar, which had descended to Earth, began to struggle desperately, breaking bones and tendons in an attempt to escape from Renn's suppression.
The Ancient One, who was also an observer, gave Raine a somewhat strange look.
The other party must have done it on purpose.
Why not just display some kind of power? Why insist on using the suppressive power of holy light?
After this incident is over.
The Holy See is probably in for a real headache.
Mephisto is not a dimensional lord like Dormammu who has a shallow foundation; he is a lord of hell who has lived for tens of thousands of years.
Mephisto was a participant in the War of the Gods.
Even though demons have a bad reputation, Mephisto still left behind many legends among humans.
Furthermore, in many hidden places, there are cultists who specifically worship and venerate Mephisto.
Even more than half of the thirteen seats in the Dark Council have numerous transactions and contracts with Mephisto.
If Mephisto is planning to retaliate against the Church of Light, well, tsk tsk.
When the Ancient One felt a sense of wonder.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, at Vatican City...
Inside a magnificent church, imbued with an ancient and sacred aura, an elderly man, his white hair and beard radiating holy light and holding a golden scepter, stared at the television screen with a dark expression.
It wasn't just the Pope who looked angry.
All the high-ranking members of the Holy See present had darkened expressions.
Light and darkness are opposites.
The Vatican suppresses demons, evil, and other malevolent forces around the world.
This is nothing more than a game of light and darkness designed to harvest faith and gain profit.
When has the Vatican ever fought a deadly battle with the devil?
Didn't we all agree to take turns making the cake bigger and bigger?
Now things are really messed up; they've become mortal enemies with Mephisto, the Lord of Hell.
"Who orchestrated this?"
After a long while, the white-haired pope, his face grim, scanned the crowd.
Although the white-haired pope spoke calmly, those familiar with him knew that this was clearly a sign that he was extremely angry.
After a full minute of silence.
As the cardinal of Bohemia, Alexander Corvinus had no choice but to step forward.
"Your Holiness, the plan to ambush Rein Sullivan in the Pedabus black market space, in conjunction with the demon apostle and the dark elf prince, was devised by the chief judge and me."
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
Just as Alexander finished speaking...
A middle-aged knight clad in armor and carrying a greatsword hurriedly spoke up, saying, "Your Holiness, I am merely following your instructions to eliminate those traitors of the Blood Cross Order."
"At the same time, I only sent the crown and scepter to Archbishop Corvinus."
"I know nothing about what happens in the black market."
Upon hearing the middle-aged knight's words...
Alexander Kovinus's eyes widened immediately.
Wotma, that's not what you said back when you were playing with my daughter Amelia in Eastern Europe and accepting all sorts of bribes.
“Saint Anthony’s words should be believed.”
"Yes, Anthony is a veteran Templar Knight, and his character is beyond reproach."
"Ugh, I knew those damn vampires were all bad."
“That’s right. The previous Malena was a troublemaker and a traitor. What good can the current Golden Court Clan be?”
"Having caused such a huge mess, Mephisto has really been offended."
"Why not send the Jinting clan to the Hell dimension..."
Within the Papacy, over 90% of the high-ranking officials unhesitatingly sided with the middle-aged knight. Some even went so far as to kick Alexander while he was down, launching a barrage of attacks against him.
