Chapter 210: Gathering of Heroes (Part II)

"Hiss..." The sound of the Phantom gasping sounded in Peter's mind. Peter asked her: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, maybe it's my illusion, why is that skeleton's power a bit familiar?"

Just at this moment, chains tore through the pitch-black night sky of New York, and the flaming skull drove the motorcycle, drawing a bright arc of light in mid-air.

The roof where the motorcycle descended was less than 200 meters away from the building where Peter was. When Peter saw his flaming eye sockets, he felt his soul was almost sucked into them.

"It's really him!" The Phantom's surprised voice sounded in Peter's mind: "That is Mephisto's power! The Lord of the Hell Dimension has descended???"

"Mephisto?" Peter said somewhat puzzled: "I seem to have heard my friend mention this name, something about the Lord of Hell..."

"Mephisto is an extremely powerful dimensional demon, second to none among all dimensional demons. His Hell Dimension burns with raging hellfire all year round. Any creature that dares to provoke him will be burned to ashes by the flames..."

As she spoke, the Phantom's tone also became quite puzzled: "How could Mephisto's apostle appear here? Could it be..."

Her tone became lower and lower: "Could it be that Knull has already escaped? And he reached a deal with Mephisto?"

Then she muttered to herself again: "This is not impossible. Mephisto likes to make deals with others the most, and he has trading partners all over the universe. If this is really the case, then it's going to be troublesome. I must notify the Agents of the Cosmos immediately..."

"Wait!... How did the two of them start fighting??"

Accompanied by the Phantom's shocked tone, the flaming skull waved its chains, directly entangling Riot, who was shrouded in a black curtain, and then he looked into Riot's eyes with his flaming eye sockets and said: "You are guilty! Die!"

Riot obviously didn't expect that an uninvited guest would suddenly appear during his process of unleashing power, but this didn't interrupt his actions. His mouth was chanting: "The great creator is about to descend, the world will eventually be swallowed by chaos and darkness..."

"That skull is actually on our side??? Pity, he is just Mephisto's apostle, it seems he can't interrupt the descent of Knull's power. It seems I have to call for support..."

"BOOM!!!!"

A loud noise that shook the earth came. Peter turned his head to look, and accompanied by a burst of smoke and dust in the distance, a huge figure jumped into the battlefield. His muscles were knotted, he was incomparably strong, and more importantly, his whole body was bright red.

"Wait?? This is Cyttorak's power??? He is the apostle of the Lord of the Crimson Dimension???"

The Phantom's tone was a bit broken: "How did Cyttorak come too??? Mephisto, Cyttorak, who is next? Dormammu?? Chthon???"

"What is going on??? Are the demons holding a meeting???"

Her words hadn't even fallen when another burst of black mist surged in the distance. Peter turned his head to look again. A figure was floating in the endless black mist. Accompanied by the darkness, it flashed by. When Mordo landed, his voice was cold and low, echoing in everyone's ears: "I come by the order of the Lord of the Dark Dimension, Dormammu..."

Strange and the Phantom said together: "Dormammu?!"

"Mordo! Are you crazy?!" A mage behind Strange shouted: "You actually betrayed the Sorcerer Supreme and defected to Dormammu?!"

Mordo's face didn't look too good either. He said to Strange expressionlessly: "Dormammu asked me to come and ask you, why can't the Sanctum Sanctorum's phone be reached? His... his..."

Mordo stammered for a long time, seemingly really not knowing how to say that word, but Strange said with understanding: "The rate of return, right? We already talked to 7.2 before. To be honest, this is already our bottom line. If he makes harassing calls again, we can't make concessions..."

Then he came back to his senses, looked at Mordo, and said: "Wait, how did you become Dormammu's apostle? Aren't you afraid the Master will be angry???"

"The Sorcerer Supreme didn't choose me, so naturally I have to find another way out... Strange, we'll settle our accounts later."

As he said this, Mordo turned his gaze to Riot floating in mid-air. Peter and the Phantom heard him say: "God's descent? What great courage."

Peter hurriedly jumped down and asked him: "What is going on? What does that symbiote want to do?"

Mordo stared at Riot in mid-air and said: "The demon behind him seems to want to open a passage for God's descent."

"This is impossible!" The Phantom denied through Peter's mouth: "Knull is imprisoned on the planet Klyntar. He hasn't escaped, so it's impossible for him to come to Earth."

"His main body cannot come over, but his power can. Obviously, this demon left a seed in the believer's body, and this seed is the key to opening the passage for the descent of power."

Mordo's expression was very cold. He said: "The demon behind him seems to have a very high status. Earth's magic defense system might not be able to stop the explosion of the seed of power..."

As he said this, several people looked up. The flaming skeleton and the bright red giant were both approaching Riot in mid-air. The power of fire and crimson was constantly eroding the dark curtain, but the speed was still not fast enough.

"Mephisto and Cyttorak's apostles only possess a little of the demon's power and might not be able to completely block the explosion of the seed of power."

"Where is the Sorcerer Supreme?" Strange asked Mordo.

Mordo remained silent and didn't answer. After a long time, he also muttered to himself somewhat puzzled: "Even if the defense system might not be able to stop it, it shouldn't have been broken through so quickly... What happened to the Ancient One?"

Hearing that the Ancient One might have a situation, the mages behind Strange became anxious one after another. Strange turned to them and said: "You guys open a portal back to Kamar-Taj first to see what's going on. Leave this place to us."

After the mages left, Strange said to Mordo: "No matter what's going on, you're here to help, right?"

Mordo ignored him at all, manipulating the power of darkness to begin intercepting Riot.

Unlike the other two demon apostles' method of strong attack, Mordo intended to use the power of the Dark Dimension to suppress Riot's power. He used the power of darkness to constantly infiltrate the area around Riot.

"What should we do next?" Strange muttered to himself, but Peter didn't hesitate. He raised his hand... and took out his mobile phone.

Two minutes later, a mecha whistled past the horizon, and a shield flashing with luster flew over with the sound of breaking through the air.

Stark's first words upon landing were: "Peter, Dr. Connors is looking for you. He said if he doesn't see you within ten minutes, he'll come here himself and drag you back." ===== CHAPTER 211 =====
