------------------------------------------------
Originally, Necrodamus, as Razan had thought, was planning to slip away after giving the order to kill the enemy.
But after seeing the blood-red magic released from Wanda, he immediately abandoned that idea.
Because he recognized at a glance that Wanda was the special identity of the Red Slayer recorded in the dark book.
For Necrodamus, what lay before him was definitely a heaven-sent opportunity for "promotion and salary increase"!
If he could bring back both a dark book · fragment and the Red Slayer to the Dark Followers Cult headquarters.
Then the leader, Morgan le Fay, would surely promote him to Elder, granting him greater authority and access to more profound Black Magic!
So… Necrodamus decided to go all out!
"Razan, let's team up and capture that female mage… As for the male, just kill him."
"Ah?" Razan was first stunned, looking at him with some surprise, and only nodded when he saw that Necrodamus was not joking with him: "Understood, Sir!"
Immediately, powerful divine power surged from her body.
And Necrodamus also began to form hand seals, using the magic on his body to prepare to activate a Black Magic with powerful binding effects.
Although he was very wary of the Chaos Magic on Wanda.
But through careful observation, Necrodamus was pleasantly surprised to find that the other party seemed unable to use this powerful force very well at the moment, and presumably would not use any Chaos Magic.
Thus, his confidence grew a few points.
As for Karl…
Necrodamus could not feel any magic on Karl.
Even according to the intelligence Razan had brought back earlier, the other party might possess some ability similar to "energy projection," but in his opinion, that was not to be feared at all.
However.
Wanda's actions on the opposite side were clearly faster than theirs!!
Swish, swish, swish—
Red ribbons composed of pure magic, like spiritual snakes, bound Necrodamus and Razan's hands together separately.
This was precisely the strongest magic Wanda could use at this stage, apart from Chaos Magic—the Crimson Chains of Cyttorak!!
This magic, "borrowed" from the Crimson Lord Cyttorak, possessed an extraordinary and powerful binding force.
Therefore, even Razan, who was a "demigod," could not break free in a short time.
"Damn it…"
Necrodamus was greatly alarmed at the sight; he never expected that, besides Chaos Magic, Wanda's ordinary magic was so fluid?
So he quickly switched to a hypnotic spell that could be cast directly without forming hand seals.
But how could Karl give him that chance?
"Your strength is not enough to support your ambition, so… just let me see what secrets are hidden in your mind!"
As the words fell.
Karl directly put a Mind Chain on Necrodamus.
And during this process.
Karl clearly felt that Necrodamus was using his own magic and mental power to intensely resist the invading mental force.
Compared to ordinary people, mages and wizards have very strong mental power, so their resistance to mental power is also much higher than that of ordinary people.
But Karl's mental power is no longer what it used to be.
With the additional boost from the Reality Stone, he quickly broke through the opponent's defenses and completely controlled the opponent's thoughts.
Segments of memories instantly appeared before Karl.
And Necrodamus, who was originally struggling violently, his eyes also became dull, and he lowered his head weakly like a walking corpse.
"Tsk tsk, so that's how it is… I didn't expect to have an unexpected gain?!"
Karl quickly locked onto the part of the many memories related to this Truce Agreement, and the facts were almost identical to what he had predicted before.
But what truly surprised him was that Necrodamus was also a member of that Dark Followers Cult.
And the reason why this Black Wizard, regardless of the consequences, wanted to help Marduk Kurios assassinate the Seraph was merely to obtain a dark book · fragment from him.
It seems that this Dark Followers Cult is quite fond of collecting dark book · fragment, aren't they?
However, with such a good opportunity for harvesting before him, if Karl didn't seize the chance to get involved, wouldn't he be letting himself down too much?
So…
As his thoughts turned, Karl already had a bold and wild idea in his mind.
That was to simply use Necrodamus to continue the mission of assassinating the Seraph, and at the same time, test whether that "cursed crossbow bolt" was also effective against Fallen Angels.
If the results were pleasing, he could not only acquire the soul of a high-ranking Angel and the soul of a high-ranking Fallen Angel, but also incidentally acquire a dark book · fragment… It could be said to be a triple win!
No!
It should be at least a quadruple win!
After all, as long as the curse power on the sin silver is confirmed to be effective against Fallen Angels, it means that Karl has an "artifact" specifically designed to counter the faction of Hell Lord Marduk Kurios.
When the time is right in the future, Karl will surely raise an army to attack his Hell, and then devour that dimensional space into the Warp.
Don't forget, he, Karl, is a true, genuine, unadulterated Dimensional God!
Thinking of this, Karl suddenly became even more excited about the Truce Agreement that was about to begin tomorrow night.
"You… what did you do to Mr. Necrodamus?"
Razan looked at Karl with a horrified expression, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Clearly, as a "demigod," she had just clearly perceived the mental fluctuations emanating from Karl.
But at the same time, she also knew how difficult it was to control the mind of a Black Wizard who was naturally endowed with powerful magic.
Yet, the man on the opposite side, who always had a harmless smile on his face, succeeded in doing so in the blink of an eye.
How is this possible?
"Oh, I almost forgot about you."
Karl did not answer the question, but instead directly pulled out a grenade and threw it in Razan's direction.
"Heh heh, I say you underestimate people too much, don't you? You think you can hurt me with such a small toy?"
Razan showed a look of disdain, desperately trying to break free from the magical ribbons, while roaring angrily: "I am the daughter of the Underworld God Osiris, the Night Jackal Ra… Boom!!!"
The moment the grenade exploded, the dark matter stored inside raged out, directly creating a temporary small Black Hole in front of Razan.
This female demigod, whose skin was as hard as steel, was extremely twisted and compressed, then sucked into the small Black Hole, and finally disappeared.
…
prestige points +666, +666, +666
Detectable high-level soul, Warp soul count +1
…
"What did you just say you were, a god?"
That's right, the grenade Karl used was precisely the Black Hole Grenade 2.0 version that he had Samuel Sterns release dark matter using the Reality Stone, combined with the Dark Elves' technology, and newly developed in advance!
However, it had not yet been tested in actual combat.
But now it seems… before the Black Hole Grenade, all beings are equal!!!
I don't care if you are a demigod or not, with just one Black Hole Grenade, aren't you obediently rushing to report to my Warp?
Karl was already eager to see the scene where the Thunder Warrior Battalion, equipped with this great weapon, would display their divine power in war in the future!
…
On a relatively flat open space outside the volcano.
Frank, Logan Howlett, and Daimon Hellstorm were holding special binoculars, looking into the volcano.
"Logan, did you see it? That's the Black Hole Grenade, the black technology we got from the Dark Elves, that I mentioned to you before!"
Frank said proudly: "How about it? Is its power very strong? That female demigod didn't even have a chance to struggle…"
"Boss said that it won't be long before this black technology weapon will be officially equipped to every Thunder Warrior Battalion.
By then, the Thunder Warriors will become the most terrifying existence in the Universe!"
"Hmm, the lethality is indeed terrifying."
Logan Howlett put down his binoculars and nodded with lingering fear: "Even my Adamantium skeleton probably couldn't withstand the tearing of that small Black Hole."
At this moment, Daimon Hellstorm, who was beside him, couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Frank, may I ask if Mr. Merks is a super-powered individual with mind control abilities?"
"Super-powered individual?"
Frank wagged his index finger at him, then said mysteriously: "You two might not believe it, but my Boss is indeed a… Dimensional God!!"
"Ah???"
"Ah???"
Logan Howlett and Daimon Hellstorm were instantly bewildered.
Especially the latter, as a "half-demon," he was not unfamiliar with the existence of ultimate big shots like Hell Lord and Dimensional God.
After all, his biological father was one of the Hell Lords.
But the problem was, he clearly sensed a human aura on Karl.
And not like other Dimensional Gods, whose bodies are special forms composed of some kind of energy.
However, he also understood that Frank had no need to deceive him on such an irrelevant matter.
It was just that he couldn't figure out, if Karl was really a Dimensional God, then why could he still possess a normal human body?
Moreover, Kamar-Taj would absolutely not allow Hell Lord and Dimensional God level big shots to directly appear on Earth.
If they wanted to come to Earth, they could only create a powerless "fake body" through Astral Projection magic to be allowed entry!
How did that young man manage to retain his power under such circumstances?
For a moment, various questions and curiosities filled Daimon Hellstorm's mind.
But Frank's answer also successfully resolved a previous doubt for him.
If Karl was indeed a Dimensional God, then it would make sense why he dared to disrupt his father's plan!
Just at this moment.
Whoosh—
A portal suddenly appeared out of thin air behind the three.
Immediately after, Karl and Wanda emerged from it.
And behind them, followed the Black Wizard Necrodamus, like a walking corpse, who was currently laboriously dragging a corpse as robust as a small mountain.
Thump—
Karl pointed at Ragnar's corpse and said to Frank: "Try to see if you can revive this dwarf blacksmith with a Quick Revival Potion?"
"Heh heh, so the last one was prepared for him!"
Frank showed a knowing expression, without any hesitation, he directly pulled out the remaining Quick Revival Potion from his tactical backpack and injected it into Ragnar's carotid artery.
And while waiting for the dwarf blacksmith to revive, Karl said to the three of them: "The plan has changed!!"
Then he raised his hand and pointed at the dull-eyed Necrodamus, "I've roughly figured out their plan now…
This Black Wizard has teamed up with Marduk Kurios, intending to use the forbidden weapon forged with the thirty silver coins containing cursed power to assassinate the Seraph Michael, who is coming to attend the Truce Agreement."
"What?!!"
Daimon Hellstorm showed a confused expression and cautiously asked:
"But Mr. Merks, there's one thing I still don't understand… If that's truly the case, then besides starting a new war, they don't seem to gain any benefit, do they?"
Karl seemed to have anticipated that he would ask this, and smiled mysteriously, "Who says they don't benefit?"
"In fact, the Truce Agreement, from its very inception, has always had a seemingly insignificant but extremely fatal huge loophole!"
"Loophole?" Daimon Hellstorm's eyes widened suddenly, vaguely guessing a possibility in his heart, but this possibility was somewhat absurd, so he wasn't quite sure.
"Exactly."
Karl then revealed some of the information he had found in Necrodamus's memory.
"Just as you learned from that book about the rules of the Truce Agreement… Neither Heaven nor Hell, except for the two designated envoys, no other person can enter, nor can they interfere from the outside."
"Furthermore, if these two envoys participating in the Truce Agreement do anything unfavorable to the negotiations, or even try to interfere with the other party, that specially established 'insurance mechanism' will automatically trigger…
That is, for Heaven to reduce losses, it will permanently close the portals on Earth, and then gather forces to launch a full-scale attack on Hell!"
"But there is a loophole here that was overlooked by the designers, or it's more appropriate to call it a design flaw…
That is, the rules of the Truce Agreement can only restrain members of Heaven and Hell, but they cannot prevent ordinary humans from intervening in this negotiation!"
"Ah, Mr. Merks, are you saying…"
Daimon Hellstorm seemed to have suddenly understood all the reasons behind it, and he was instantly drenched in a cold sweat.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at Necrodamus, who stood behind Karl like a walking corpse.
