When Hawk planned to use the St. Peter's Basilica Contract to exchange with Mephisto for his sister's soul, he had thought about how this old thing, Mephisto, would use his sister as leverage.
Threatening Hawk by taking Anya hostage?
One word.
This is absolutely unacceptable.
There is only zero times and countless times for cheating.
The same goes for compromise.
Once he lets Mephisto enjoy the sweetness this time, what else can he talk about being a real man in the future, he'd directly become Mephisto's incarnation.
Moreover!
Hawk had no doubt that if he compromised, the Phoenix Heart would leave him without hesitation.
After all, how is this compromise any different from the cowardly people of Jiangdong?
Even though he was indeed a Jiangdong native in his past life.
But!
The world knows Jiangdong has cowards, but have they not heard Jiangdong also has overlords.
To this day, I think of Xiang Yu, who was unwilling to go back to Jiangdong.
He would rather be an overlord who refuses to go back than a coward who colludes with the enemy.
So——
Hawk had already thought of the worst outcome before coming to Hell.
He was also prepared to face this worst possibility.
Just like now.
Hawk's eyes were cold, and he looked Mephisto straight in the eye with a tone devoid of any color, stating the price Mephisto would pay if he dared to burn his sister's soul, then watched as Mephisto's menacing smile froze, instantly roaring, "Do it then!"
Mephisto's body jolted violently.
Wait a minute.
What does it mean to do nothing else in the future, just serving me?
And what does it mean that there will be no souls to enter Hell in the future, and no demons to come out?
This is totally different from the script of threatening Hawk with Anya that he had imagined.
Mephisto's thoughts quickly spun.
The next second.
He looked at Hawk, whose expression couldn't be seen under his mask, only those cold eyes, and reacted.
Mephisto's tone became menacing again.
"You think I won't dare?"
"You won't, but I will!"
Hawk said expressionlessly, then his figure disappeared from the spot, instantly appearing before Mephisto, no longer considering whether Mephisto's demonic hand on his sister Anya's head would ignite Anya, he punched, striking Mephisto's demonic face.
Boom!
Mephisto's flaming nostrils instantly tilted, and his massive body was blown into the air, crashing to the ground with a bang.
The ground cracked in response, and thick smoke billowed from the crevices.
Hawk's figure disappeared again, appearing in mid-air, launching a Leo's Flying Kick, sweeping through the sky quickly, with his leg entirely shrouded in black Phoenix Fire, greeting Mephisto in the pit below.
Boom!
The ground no longer cracked but broke in response. At the moment Hawk's right foot smashed into the pit, the fissures expanded, instantly revealing the never-ending flowing Hell magma below.
At the moment when Hawk's flying kick was about to land on him, Mephisto, who dodged just in time, watched Hawk levitate out of the pit with a face full of disbelief.
"Are you really not afraid that I'll burn your sister's soul, so you two siblings will never reunite?"
"I'm not afraid!"
Before Hawk could speak, his sister Anya, still frozen by Mephisto, had already spoken first, shouting at Mephisto, "I believe in my brother, my brother is the greatest brother in the world!"
Hawk didn't turn his head to look at his sister Anya, and he wasn't even interested in speaking with Mephisto anymore.
He now had only one thought.
Even though he knew that Mephisto couldn't be killed in the Hell Dimension, he still wanted to give Mephisto a good beating.
So…
Hawk stayed silent, just kept attacking.
"Supersonic Fist!"
"Madman!"
"You siblings are both crazy."
Mephisto listened to Anya's words, feeling somewhat broken, then watched as Hawk, without saying a word, launched another attack towards him, roaring, "This is my territory!"
Bang!
Along with Mephisto's roar, the space he was in instantly twisted, collapsing into absolute void darkness.
Boom boom boom!
Hawk's Supersonic Fist, after merging into the absolute void darkness, made no sound as it disappeared instantly.
The next moment.
Countless stabs composed of Hell Energy appeared out of thin air beside Hawk, with a screech sharp enough to tear the soul, forming a cage of stabs that seemed to surround Hawk, then closed towards the center.
Clang clang.
The Black Phoenix Nether Armor on Hawk emitted a dense, rain-like sound of impact, as the surrounding soul stabs continuously crashed into the Nether Armor, then spewed terrifying sparks that would instantly tear apart an ordinary soul upon contact.
At the same time.
While Hawk and Mephisto were engaged in a fierce battle, the ground tore apart, and countless demons residing on the surface crawled out through the cracks.
They were densely packed, numerous, resembling a swarm of black locusts at a glance.
These demons usually inhabit the backside of the Hell Dimension, coming out at night to feed on the souls of the Hell Dimension. If they set their eyes on someone, that person's soul would be devoured completely.
And at this moment, they had fixed their gaze on Anya, who was frozen in place by Mephisto.
Anya had lived in the Hell Dimension for a long time, so seeing these demons crawling out from the ground cracks, she immediately showed a terrified expression.
But...
She saw the demons, now focused on her, crawling rapidly on all fours with greedy eyes, and she forcibly suppressed the fear in her heart.
I am my brother's sister, but I am definitely not my brother's burden.
Hawk also noticed this scene at that moment. With a bang, the Black Phoenix's apparition expanded instantly, shattering the sharp cage around and swinging a punch towards the demons trying to devour his sister's soul.
The Black Phoenix apparition's wings instantly merged into his fist.
"Phoenix Wings!"
"Sky Soar—"
Boom!!
The Little Cosmos erupted instantly.
Not burning.
But an explosion of the Little Cosmos far more terrifying than burning!
In an instant, centered on Hawk's body, dark red flames erupted, carrying a heat capable of incinerating mountains and boiling seas. They formed two massive fiery wings. These gigantic wings, with unparalleled might, swept fiercely in front of his sister Anya and to both sides as Hawk threw his punch.
Time seemed to freeze for a moment at that instant.
The demons, emerging from the cracks and sprinting rapidly towards Anya with greedy expressions on their faces, also halted their actions momentarily.
The next second!
The leading demons, still wearing greedy expressions on their faces for the soul, were instantly devoured by the terrifying and stormy black flames that struck directly at the soul. Their skin, resembling armor, melted instantly along with their souls, leaving not even ashes behind, vaporizing on the spot.
The air itself screeched sharply under the terrifying black flames where the Phoenix Wings passed.
With the Phoenix Wings' swing, the terrifying shockwave, combined with destructive light and heat, surged towards the demons pouring in from all directions, like a breached galaxy rolling in with overwhelming force!
The demons' figures vanished instantly, and even the ground melted into dark red glaze under the terrifying heat.
From the sky, one could see a pair of dark red glazed Phoenix Wings left on the ground of the Hell Dimension.
Anya, with her eyes wide open, felt the Phoenix Wings, which were different from others and gave her a warm protective feeling. Her heart held only one thought.
My brother is the most powerful brother in the world.
I wasn't lying!
Mephisto also looked at the Phoenix Wings, leaving terrifying marks in his Hell Dimension. His heart wrenched slightly as he was about to call for a stop.
But Hawk didn't stop moving.
After swinging an explosive Little Cosmos punch to protect his sister, he quickly seized the momentum, thanks to the residual power of the Little Cosmos explosion, and once again advanced towards Mephisto.
"Stop—"
"Boom!"
Hawk's punch, fueled by the residual power of the Little Cosmos explosion, struck the horn on the right side of Mephisto's head directly.
After a violent commotion, Mephisto, also floating, turned into a meteor with a bang and crashed to the ground like a meteorite once again.
The ground of Hell cracked open once more, and the demons, whose sustenance was souls, crawled out from the backside once again.
But this time, they no longer rushed towards Anya, standing lone beneath the glazed Phoenix Wings, seemingly protected by them.
They quickly scattered, running towards corners of the Hell Dimension, seizing the moment while their master Mephisto was occupied in a fight, to feast.
The Hell wasn't lacking in souls; it didn't have to be Anya.
They were demons, not fools.
A dark light emerged once more from the pit.
Mephisto, clutching the broken horn in his hand, looked at Hawk preparing to charge at him again.
"Stop!"
"..."
Hawk stopped ten steps away from Mephisto.
He looked at the hornless Mephisto before him with a blank expression, saying nothing, seemingly waiting for Mephisto to speak.
"Within ten breaths, return to the backside!"
Mephisto didn't speak to Hawk immediately but spread his voice across the entire Hell Dimension.
The next moment.
The demons that had just emerged from the cracks, not yet having the chance to feed, shuddered at Mephisto's voice. Then they turned without lingering and quickly returned through the crack to the backside of Hell.
Mephisto then turned to Hawk before him, took a deep breath, and said in a low, muffled voice: "Take your sister and leave behind the St. Peter's Basilica Contract."
This was indeed his domain.
Although he wouldn't die here, Hawk also had the Life and Death Law, allowing him to freely enter and exit.
While this was Mephisto's domain, Hawk was indifferent, but if it were to get demolished, Mephisto would have a great deal of work to clean it up later.
Therefore...
Mephisto's golden demon eyes stared intently at Hawk.
"Take your sister and get out of my Hell!"
"It's no longer enough."
"What!"
"I said, it's no longer enough!"
