"Will someone else be coming later?"
Mephisto paused. What the hell? One wasn't enough… there were more? "Of course."
Michael smiled. "However, you might not like him very much!"
Unlike a powerful being like Dormammu, who abandoned his physical body and merged his entire spirit and soul into the Dark Dimension, turning the entire Dark Dimension into his own body, Mephisto was not such a person—oh, not such a demon! In fact, within the entire Hell Dimension, Mephisto was not the only powerful Dimension Lord! However, in the Hell Dimension, Mephisto was the most powerful one! That's why Michael directly teleported in front of Mephisto.
From Michael's understanding of the Marvel Universe, at least in the Hell Dimension, this Mephisto fellow was at least somewhat more palatable to Michael! Of course, more importantly, this fellow operated by contract rules; as long as a contract was signed with him, he would definitely abide by its terms, unlike other Hell Dimension Lords who were habitually fickle! However, unlike other Hell Dimension Lords who generally didn't play tricks with contracts, this fellow was the one who most loved to play tricks with contracts. Those who signed contracts with Mephisto seemingly gained immense benefits, but ultimately, most couldn't escape Mephisto's hidden pitfalls and were still firmly controlled by him! Anyway… dealing with Hell Dimension Lords generally didn't end well. Naturally, Michael didn't want to deal with these fellows too much.
In fact, Michael's purpose in coming here was simply to bring Odin to offend all these… Dimension Lords! Of course, the offending part was Odin's job! As for Michael, if there were benefits to be gained, he'd show his face and grab some. If not, he'd act like he did in the Dark Dimension, pretending to be a weakling and letting Odin frantically offend those… powerful Dimension Lords! As for the deeper reason, that was naturally to seize the Eternal Spear! Don't let Michael's disdainful attitude towards this item, even calling it a steel rod at one point, fool you.
But that… was only when this item didn't belong to Michael. Once the Eternal Spear was seized by Michael, who would dare call it a steel rod and try it! "I don't like it."
Mephisto was still stunned. "Do I know him?"
"You know him quite well! Who knows, maybe you two even fought before!"
Michael materialized a cup of tea, held it in his hand, and sipped leisurely, feeling refreshed! As far as Michael knew, this Mephisto fellow had a slight connection with Odin's eldest daughter, Hela.
Michael believed that with Hela's connection, Mephisto and Odin couldn't possibly be good friends! Michael believed Mephisto and Hela were more likely good friends! One constantly thought about where to trick some souls back, while the other thought about where to kill another Planet and expand Asgard's territory!
In Michael's opinion, these two were simply… a match made in heaven.
God knows if Mephisto had ever thought of smashing Odin's head with a staff when Odin sealed Hela.
"Hmmph!"
Michael raised an eyebrow! "
…Dong!!! Boom!!! Michael didn't need to say more; the Eternal Spear, suddenly attacking the Hell Dimension, revealed the newcomer's identity.
"Odin!"
As Michael expected, Mephisto's face darkened! "You're Odin's man!"
Mephisto stood up, staring down at Michael as if he'd smash Michael's head with his staff if Michael said yes!
"How could that be!"
Michael rolled his eyes, took another sip of tea, feeling refreshed! "Odin is chasing me, for crying out loud!"
Michael pointed in the direction of the Eternal Spear: "That thing won't fly back until it pokes its target. Do you think Odin uses that thing to greet me?"
"Ah-ha!"
Mephisto's face immediately broke into a smile. "I knew it! That scoundrel Odin would never use gungnir to greet a friend!"
"You want to use the power of the Hell Dimension to counteract the power of gungnir?"
Evidently, Mephisto saw through Michael's purpose at a glance.
"Mmm-hmm."
Michael didn't deny it; this was his purpose all along, and Mephisto couldn't stop it, could he? "Of course, this is my goal."
"But don't worry, I'm just borrowing it for a little while. I'll leave after this cup of tea. It won't consume the power of the Hell Dimension."
Michael knew what Mephisto wanted to say. "There's a troublesome fellow following behind!"
"Oh."
Michael drained his tea in one gulp, instantly recalling the teacup. "That guy's here. Farewell!"
Right in front of Mephisto, Michael teleported away.
"Odin's enemy!"
Seeing Odin suddenly appear and grab at the gungnir, which was attacking the Hell Dimension's barrier, the Eternal Spear: vanished just as he was about to seize it.
"Odin!!!"
Mephisto even heard the angry roars against Odin from several other weaker Dimension Lords of the Hell Dimension.
After all, they had no idea why Odin had appeared.
"We can be friends too!"
Seeing this, Mephisto smiled... After that, it was almost... garbage time!
Following the imprinted images of the Myriad Dimensions from the Ancient One, Michael teleported from one to another.
Odin's Eternal Spear: also followed Michael's footsteps, attacking these... Dimension barriers one by one.
Then, Michael wildly enjoyed the endless roars, and hatred of these... Dimension Lords towards Odin!
Until... Michael teleported again, returning to Asgard.
The Eternal Spear: also followed.
This time, Michael didn't hide!
However! The Eternal Spear:, having consumed a large amount of energy, lightly poked Michael's arm, not even leaving a mark!
"mutated gem, erase all of Odin's mental and soul imprints for me!"
Michael grabbed gungnir, roaring madly in his mind!
