Chapter 678 Salesman and Porter (Part 2) _2

Helen is very smart, she knows the greatest limitation to the Iron Demon God's power is a sufficient supply of magic energy; for Stark to maintain such a state, he must have an ample supply of energy. If he descends, the entire cosmos could be in danger.

Therefore, Helen's first reaction is to seek out the Supreme Magician, Strange, because she knows that Kamar-Taj is rich in energy.

She immediately returned to Earth, only to be caught by Shiller who was waiting near the Earth.

Originally, Shiller was waiting for Stark. He wanted to use Stark who had risen to the Multidimension Universe Level to carry out his next plan. Seeing Helen on the other hand, Shiller developed a new idea.

Currently, Helen was almost solely driven by instinct. Evolution is a trait ingrained in the Doomsday genes, and Helen herself didn't know how powerful she had become, but Shiller did.

Any life form that can resist Superman, let alone kill Superman, can hardly be described as just 'powerful'. For such character full of potential, there are only two words that describe it, and they are 'invincible'.

Looking at Helen, who transformed her life form, Shiller slightly modified his plan. He instructed her 'to do so' in the Earth's orbit.

Afterward, Helen first cleaned up the battlefield where Stark had fought against the Magic Wheel family. The remaining forces there had virtually no resistance. Importantly, Doomsday can evolve itself by mimicking or devouring other beings.

Having devoured the remaining members of the Morlun Family, Helen gained the ability to absorb life force. After acquiring this ability, she went straight to the battlefield where the Demon Gods were fighting, unlocked her full potential at once, and took away all the gifts for the members in just one swoop.

Perhaps one might ask, if this ability is so powerful, why wasn't the Morlun Family able to directly drain so many Demon Gods?

The answer is, the vampires of the Magic Wheel family are communal creatures, their individual powers are just one thousandth of their collective form.

However, Doomsday is different as she is a powerful being existing as an individual. Their hardware conditions are completely different. Therefore, the effect of using the same skill would be surely different.

Just like a mosquito the size of a fingernail biting a person would at best result in a bump, but if this mosquito is as large as a truck, the nature of the situation will be distinctly different.

Doomsday is like a mosquito as big as a truck. Not only that, her excellent evolution traits allow her to optimize a skill indefinitely. The original solo skill has been transformed into a group attack. A mosquito as big as a truck, covered in mouths, is fatal to any life on Earth.

Of course, the relaxation of vigilance by these Demon Gods is also one of the reasons. The gifts for members came too easily on several occasions. They never thought that someone would seize them midway. They were too focused on fighting and did not pay attention to guarding the spoils, so Helen had her way.

Helen's disappearance out of thin air was not by coincidence, Shiller was already waiting for on the side.

Because he's just a human being, without the colossal power of a Demon God, he's like a grain of sand on a vast beach, unnoticed by the focused Demon Gods.

After Helen consumed all the energy in one wave, Shiller pulled her straight into the World within the Ring. This is where Doomsday had previously stored the monster eggs. So, indeed, Helen was returning home —and returning triumphantly at that.

When Shiller's figure appeared again, it fell in a secret room of Kamar-Taj. It's the meditation room of the Supreme Magician, with protective magic left by generations of magicians, making it very safe.

Shiller, Nick, Strange, Helen and Pikachu all put their heads together. Nick gestured a "money" sign with his hand, and then looked at Shiller.

Shiller shook his head and said: "Don't rush. I'm not playing a game of rogue. Now it's your turn, Mr. Strange."

About ten minutes later, Mephisto was on the phone with Strange. Strange used a heavy tone, saying:

"I've heard about it, I'm sorry, Mr. Mephisto, none of us expected this accident. Moreover, The Holy Sanctuary is also partially responsible, so we are willing to provide compensation..."

"Because the incident happened suddenly, we couldn't count the number of gifts for members, so compensation will be based on 80% of the number of gifts for members last time. We will broadcast throughout the cosmos soon. We will have special personnel deliver at your doorstep, all you need to do is wait in your respective dimensions... "

Mephisto was surprised, there is such a good thing?! He didn't know how to respond at that moment.

He is not human. Survival in the cosmos does not make sense. If you get beaten up, it's your fault for being weak. If you get robbed of your energy and fail to find it with losses, you must accept it. This is the survival of the fittest, and the law of the jungle is most vividly displayed here.

Mephisto had accepted it. He had not been vigilant. He couldn't find the culprit. Indeed, it was due to his lack of ability. He could deceive elsewhere or rob the Demon Gods again, but he never expected anyone to compensate him. Any cosmic sorcerer could never have imagined that The Holy Sanctuary would be willing to compensate.

When the broadcast came out, almost all the Demon Gods called to verify whether it was true or not, especially to confirm whether the delivery person was The Ancient One.

When Mephisto received the compensation, all the Cosmos Sorcerers were stunned. Is The Holy Sanctuary really willing to be the scapegoat?

That's not a small sum of money. This one fight involved at least a dozen major demons and several ordinary ones. The Holy Sanctuary must have paid off all its capital over the years, right?

As more and more energy was sent out, Nick felt as if his heart was bleeding. Standing in front of the energy center, he looked at Shiller and asked, "Are you trying to establish the credence of The Holy Sanctuary? This is like buying horse bones with a fortune. Such a large amount of energy..."

"Buying horse bones with a fortune might be useful, but I prefer a deal with no cost." Shiller responded with a light-hearted tone.

"That's true." Nick nodded and said, "We just grabbed their energy and hijacked their gifts for members, it's nothing to return them ... "

Shiller shook his head, followed by a broadcast echoing in Kamar-Taj:

"Holy Sanctuary deeply regrets this incident. Despite the difficulty of making compensation, we still uphold our integrity, assuring recompense to every household without any arrears."

"However, as everyone knows, the Earth's energy resources are poor, and after this incident, the energy is even more scarce. If such incidents happen again, it is feared that we would be unable to provide full compensation to every household as we've done this time..."

"But nothing is constant in life; the cosmos are full of risks. If such incidents occur again, they will certainly cause huge losses."

"Life often faces unpredictable fortunes and misfortunes, and insurance bears witness to the affection of time. The Holy Sanctuary cordially recommends to you - the Cosmic Energy United Insurance Package!"

"Risks are everywhere, insurance shares the burden with you!"
