Chthon was an Elder God.
He was a being from the same era as the Demiurge, the Earth Goddess Gaea, the Serpent God Set, and others.
He possessed power taken to the extreme.
It could be said that he was one of the most powerful beings in this world.
Dark Magic was already extremely powerful to begin with.
Coupled with Chthon's terrifying strength, his combat power could easily be imagined.
Dealing with a few Greater Demons might be very difficult for others, but for Chthon, it was not particularly hard.
If he were willing to pay a certain price, killing these three was not impossible either.
Naturally, he did not fear these three Greater Demons.
The moment he released his aura, the three Greater Demons immediately lost their nerve.
There were many kinds of demons in the Marvel world.
Brutes like Surtur were still rare. Most demons bullied the weak and feared the strong.
Once Chthon became forceful, their momentum immediately weakened.
"Ahem. I think a newly formed universe is more than enough for us."
"We do not need the souls either, right?"
Mephisto spoke weakly.
The other two Greater Demons glanced at Chthon, then exchanged a look.
"Hmph."
Chthon snorted coldly, his contempt overflowing from his expression.
There was a reason Chthon was widely known to have terrible relationships with others.
"All of you are wasting time."
"We should first discuss how to defeat that kid."
"We cannot enter Earth."
Chthon spoke coldly.
Earth itself was indeed nothing special.
But the people who came from Earth were another matter entirely.
If someone native to Earth destroyed Earth, that would be one thing.
But if an outsider wanted to destroy Earth?
Did they really think old things like the Demiurge and Gaea were dead?
If they truly came charging out, even the Five Great Gods would not be enough.
He did not dare go to Earth lightly either.
Hearing this, Krakkan and Balthakk's mouths twitched.
Atum, the God-Eater who had beaten them into serious injuries, had come from Earth.
He was also the culprit who had driven the gods away from Earth.
They could not afford to provoke that fellow either.
Even after so many years, even if he was no longer at his peak, he was still much stronger than they were.
While the three of them were worrying over this, a voice suddenly rang out.
"I do have an idea."
The three powerful beings turned to look.
The one who had spoken was Mephisto.
"If you have an idea, say it quickly. Stop hesitating."
Chthon said impatiently.
"Isn't that kid the Sorcerer Supreme?"
"Then we can make use of that."
"Kamar-Taj has several permanent outposts in Hell that monitor Atum's movements."
"We can capture those sorcerers, then force that kid to come and save them."
Mephisto spoke with a treacherous expression.
"Hmph."
"Do you take them for fools?"
"Knowing it is a trap, they would still willingly come?"
Krakkan also spoke in an extremely disdainful tone.
"You simply do not understand humans. They are not demons like us."
"Even if they know they are walking to their deaths, they will still come to save those sorcerers."
"Not to mention, I believe that kid must be extremely confident. He will not care about you at all."
Mephisto spoke with complete confidence.
"Is what you said true?"
Krakkan asked.
"Humans value bonds and loyalty far more than we do."
"They are the most emotionally rich intelligent life-forms in this world."
Chthon spoke expressionlessly.
"Very good."
"Then we will follow this method."
"As the Sorcerer Supreme, how could he refuse to save his own people?"
"If he does not come, we will spread this matter throughout the entire Multiverse. Then he will have no choice but to come."
Chthon said cruelly.
"Exactly."
"As long as we have no morals, no one can morally blackmail us."
"Humans really are too weak."
Clearly, when it came to his own shamelessness, treachery, and utter lack of dignity, Mephisto did not feel embarrassed at all.
Instead, he was very happy about it.
"Hmph."
Chthon looked at him coldly.
"Stop wasting time here. Hurry up and make arrangements."
"We not only have to set up a trap, we also have to seal the whole of Hell."
"After he enters, we cannot allow him to escape."
"Otherwise, trying to catch a Kamar-Taj sorcerer will probably not be easy."
Krakkan added from the side.
The Sorcerer Supreme was famously troublesome.
The spatial abilities they controlled were unmatched among humans.
Among human sorcerers, very few could compare to them in terms of spatial ability.
If they set up the trap properly, only for that fellow to escape when the time came, what would be the point of all their arrangements?
There would be no point at all.
"You are right. We truly do need to guard against this."
"These human sorcerers are far too troublesome."
Balthakk also said a sentence.
It seemed as though he had remembered some unpleasant experience.
"In that case, the two of you should directly connect your dimensions to Hell."
"When the time comes, use your World Authority to completely surround all of Hell."
"You will also be able to receive power reinforcement at any time."
"Even a multiverse-level existence would be trapped to death within the sealed space."
Chthon spoke with extreme cruelty.
These three demons were all dimensional lords. Each of them controlled a vast dimension.
As dimensional lords, they naturally had their own power.
Once Hell was sealed, no one would be able to leave.
It could be said that they could completely turn this place into a dead zone.
"I can also use the power of Hell."
"But afterward, I want a larger share."
"If Hell is used as the battlefield, my territory will suffer heavy damage."
Mephisto gritted his teeth and spoke.
"No problem. I will agree on their behalf."
"As long as you make enough of a contribution, I will guarantee that you receive enough gains."
Chthon spoke very generously.
The other two Greater Demons also nodded.
A single-universe-level battle would probably cripple Hell as well.
Although Hell's environment was already extremely harsh and completely unsuitable for intelligent life-forms to survive in, Hell still had its own ecosystem.
After experiencing such a battle, nothing would be left.
It was only right for them to provide some compensation.
"Very good. Then it is decided."
Mephisto nodded in satisfaction.
"Then hurry up and prepare. Get everything ready within three days."
"Three days from now, we will gather here and prepare to act."
Chthon made the final decision.
The three Greater Demons looked at one another, nodded, and all vanished from Hell.
Chthon watched their departing figures.
A cold smile appeared on his face.
These three fellows all had their own schemes.
Let us see who would be laughing in the end.
With a cold laugh, Chthon also vanished directly.
