Chapter 99 : Devil's Conspiracy

Sitting opposite Bert, Doom couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Wang, the old man who opened the gates of Hell in the Manhattan battle, is it Mephisto, The Devil?"

Bert did not deny it, nodded, and said, "Yes, that old man is Mephisto."

Doom asked, "I want to ask, what happened to him in the end?"

Bert said: "He was beaten back to Hell by the Sorcerer Supreme, Ancient One."

"Sorcerer Supreme?"

Doom was stunned, and he asked again: "Why just send him back to Hell? Why not just destroy him?"

Bert said: "That was only his projection, not his main body. Mephisto is very cunning, How could he come to earth with his main body?"

"That's it!" Doom hesitated and asked, "Mr. Wang, I want to know, is there any way to get a Soul back from Mephisto?"

Bert looked at Doom and said nothing. Doom knew what he meant and said, "Mr. Wang, please tell me, I, Victor Doom, will return this favor to you!"

Doom's expression was both serious and arrogant. He will pay back this favor, and he can pay it back because he is Victor Doom!

"Why do you want to know this?"

Bert asked, Doctor Doom's favor is very valuable, although the movie version of Doctor Doom is a weakened version!

"My mother was a gypsy witch who sacrificed her soul to Mephisto for her country!"

Doom took a sip of red wine and sighed: "Unfortunately, she was deceived by Mephisto, and Latveria did not get better but got worse. I wanted to save her, so I came to the United States to find a way through technology, but the current technology is not at that level.

In the past ten years, although I have earned a net worth of tens of billions, I have not made any progress in saving my mother. "

//** In the comics, Doom became obsessed with developing a machine that could project the astral form of a being into other dimensions, seeing it as a way to free his mother's soul from Mephisto's clutches. **//

Bert smiled and then asked: "Dr. Doom, why don't you study magic, magic is more likely a good way to save your mother, right?"

Doom shook his head: "I want to learn it too, but I can't find a way. The mages hired with high salaries are all liars!"

"I see."

Bert said: "Dr. Doom if you want to get back the soul from Mephisto, you must first find something that he can't refuse and trade with him!"

Doom was stunned: "Is it that simple?"

"Of course, it's not easy. The purpose of this step is to let Mephisto bring out the soul, but everyone knows that Mephisto will not trade honestly!"

Bert said: "So, next, you have to fight Mephisto's wits and courage, and at the same time keep the trade goods, grab the soul from him!"

"I understand!"

Doom suddenly realized, he thought for a while, and then asked, "Mr. Wang, can you introduce the Sorcerer Supreme to me?"

"Sure!"

Bert nodded, briefly explained the matters of the Sorcerer Supreme and Kamar-Taj, and then said: "I don't know where Kamar-Taj is, if you are interested, you can go to Kathmandu for a walk. !"

"Kathmandu? I see!"

Doom nodded, and he said very sincerely: "Mr. Wang, thank you very much for your information, I will repay your favor in the future!"

"It doesn't matter! Anyone who has a grudge against Mephisto is my friend!"

Bert smiled, and asked, "By the way, I heard that you invested in Dr. Reed's project?"

"Yes, Richards is my college classmate, and I am very optimistic about his Cosmic Radiation project." Doom nodded, and he asked, "Mr. Wang, do you know Richards?"

Bert said: "I have met him once. He is a very talented person, but his luck is not very good, and his career is always not smooth!"

Doom said confidently: "In six weeks, we will be on the space station, and the stocks of Doom Industries and Reed will both skyrocket!"

Bert looked at Doom, who was about to go bankrupt, with a smile on his face, and said, "Then I wish you success!"

"Thanks!"

Doom nodded, got up, and left, Bert shook his head and muttered to himself: "In six weeks, the Fantastic Four will appear, and this world is getting more and more lively!"

After thinking about it, Bert picked up the phone and called Lilith: "Get ready to short the Doom Industries!"

If you have money, why not earn more? Although not much, it is still hundreds of millions!

...

Doom Industries, Doom was thinking in the office when suddenly, the lights dimmed, and then a female voice suddenly sounded: "Doom, have you thought about it?"

Doom said angrily: "Turn on the light, what's wrong with you, you play this set every time you come? The first time was indeed very mysterious. The question is how many times is it now? It's getting annoying!"

The female was silent. After a few seconds, the light was turned on, and a very heroic-looking red-clothed ninja appeared in front of Doom. Her name is Elektra Natchios, Daredevil's love interest, and Black Sky of the HAND!

Elektra said coldly, "If you weren't needed, Doom, you'd be dead now!"

"Rich people in America don't die so easily!"

Doom sneered: "I just went to see the Blood God today. If he knew of your existence, how many days would you live?"

Hearing the Blood God's name, Elektra's expression changed, and then she became furious: "Are you threatening me?"

"I'm just telling the truth!"

Doom said: "To cooperate with you means to be an enemy of the Blood God, so I naturally have to be cautious! To be honest, Blood God is a good person, and his strength is strong. If there is a choice, I would like to become a friend of his."

"Doom, only we can help you save your mother's soul!" Elektra took a deep breath and said, "Cooperating with us is your only choice!"

Doom said with some headache: "It's not that I don't want to cooperate with you, but there is something wrong with your method, right?"

Elektra asked, "What's the problem? That device will work!"

"That high-tech contraption is the problem!"

Doom said: "The HAND Association and the monsters behind you are all mysterious. If you were to give me a magic circle, then I won't have any problems believing you!

But you gave me a high-tech device, how can I trust you? The style is completely different, isn't it? "

Elektra was silent, this style is indeed different, she said: "This has nothing to do with you, your mission is to take this device to the space station, and then control it to bombard the New York Sanctum from the sky when the Cosmic Storm strikes. The defense net that has not been fully repaired will be broken again!"

After a pause, Elektra looked at Doom and continued: "Behind me, there are not only 'Beast' (Demon), but also many other Demons and Demon kings. If they join forces, even Mephisto has to hand over your mother's soul, obediently. Doom, this is your only chance."

Doom was silent for a while but still shook his head: "I, Doom, won't do anything unsurely. If you want me to cooperate, you must tell me how that device came about."

Elektra was a little irritable, she thought about it, and then said, "This device comes from the Darkhold!"

Doom was at a loss: "Darkhold?"

"Yes, the Darkhold!" Elektra said: "The Book Of Sins allows users to see all the knowledge they want. Although I don't know why it gives scientific and technological knowledge this time, there is no problem with that device, and all major Demons have certified it!"

"Is that so?" Doom thought for a while and said, "I want to read the Darkhold!"

"I don't mind you reading the Darkhold!"

Elektra smiled: "But I want to remind you that not everyone can read the Darkhold. People who are not talented enough will go crazy because of too much knowledge!"

Doom smiled contemptuously. In this world, are there any books that I, Doom can't read?

The next day, Elektra brought the Darkhold, Doom opened it, stared at the Darkhold for three hours, and then closed the book calmly!

Elektra was a little surprised. She had seen many people reading the Darkhold, but they were nothing like Doom.

"I see, I'll help you transport that device up!"

Doom said, "However, can the Demons behind you be able to defeat the Ancient One?"

"One certainly won't do, but there's a bunch of them."

Elektra said: "More importantly, the Ancient One has become weaker, which is why the Demon gods dared to act. If it was the old one, they would not dare to be so arrogant."

Doom asked again, "Will Ancient One notice it in advance?"

"No, when the Cosmic Storm is coming, all the hidden monsters will be dispatched to create disasters all over the earth, so that Kamar-Taj has no time to be distracted!"

Elektra said: "No matter how powerful Ancient One is, it is impossible to guess that we will use technological means this time. Perhaps this is the reason why the Dark God Book gave us technological knowledge!"

"That's good!"

Doom's eyes flashed and he said, "I don't want to be hunted down by the Blood God and Kamar-Taj afterward!"

"There will be no Blood God and Kamar-Taj after this!"

Elektra said bitterly: "The blood debt that the Blood God owes the HAND Association, it's time to repay!"

...

In a blink of an eye, six weeks passed, Bert watched the news of the launch of the Von Doom Industries, space shuttle on TV and couldn't help but shake his head. Dr. Reed's character is quite good, but his career luck is really bad.!

Bert looked away from the TV and asked Lilith, "What's the approval rating of George Stacy?"

"Much more than his opponent." Lilith said: "In fact, that opponent is just running with him. No one wants to be the mayor of New York. God knows when the aliens will come again!"

"There should be no more disasters this year, but not sure about next year!"

Bert laughed: "When George Stacy takes office, donate a sum of money to him to let him raise the police's salary!"

"Okay!"

Lilith took it down and continued: "The Wakanda Embassy officially opened this afternoon, and you promised to go there."

"Got it!"

Bert nodded, picked up the book on the table, and said, "I gotta read the books. If it is not important, please push it away for me."

"Okay!"

Lilith nodded and left. Bert looked at the "Space Advancement" in his hand. The more he looked at it, the more interesting it became. Unfortunately, he had no magic power on him, so he couldn't cast the spells recorded in it!

That's right, there are spells in "Space Advancement", Kamar-Taj's space spells!

"Ancient One, even passed the books about Portal and Mirror space to me, what do you want me to do?"

Bert muttered to himself, he and Ancient One are not related, so there is only one possibility for the Ancient One to help him like this, that is, Ancient One has something for him to do!

The current Bert, although he has not entered Kamar-Taj, is already half a disciple of Kamar-Taj!

...

Doom Industries space station, Reed looked at Doom who was pushing the instrument, and asked in amazement: "Doom, this instrument doesn't seem to be on the list, right?"

"A big client's request!" Doom said with his expression unchanged: "You don't need to pay attention, I'll handle it!"

"Okay!"

Reed nodded, hesitated, and said, "Doom, don't worry, I will never fail this time, and I will not implicate you!"

Doom was puzzled: "Why are you telling me this? I never doubted you."

Reed smiled awkwardly. He is just afraid that he might cause Doom to go bankrupt.

At this time, the other three people in the space station came over, namely Ben Grimm (The Thing), Susan Storm (The 'Invisible Woman'), and Johnny Storm (The 'Human Torch') who looked very similar to Captain America.!

"What are you talking about?"

Susan walked over to Doom and asked - Susan was Doom's girlfriend, and she was Reed's ex-girlfriend.

"It's nothing, you guys are busy, I'll take care of this!"

Doom nodded to everyone and pushed the instrument away. Johnny looked at his back and asked, "Don't you think Doom is a little weird these days?"

Ben nodded: "It's true, he didn't put his arms around Susan to show off to Reed!"

"Ben!" Susan glanced at Ben angrily and said, "Maybe he's too nervous this time, don't worry, I'll watch him!"

Reed felt a little sour in his heart, but he couldn't say anything, after all, Doom was their financial master!

In the room, Doom installed a special instrument with a muzzle, then took out a pitch-black knife, and carefully carved a magic circle on the instrument.

That's right, the magic circle, in just six weeks, the true magic genius Doom has become a mage - his talent is on the same level as that of Doctor Strange.

When the carving was finished, Doom looked at the magic circle and muttered to himself, "Mother, I will definitely save you!"

"The Cosmic Storm is still eight hours and thirty minutes away! Ben, you go out and set up the plants!"

Reed looked at the screen and shouted to Ben through the communicator, his project is to study the relationship between Cosmic Storms and the evolution of life. Once successful, a large number of human diseases can be cured!

"Okay!"

Ben changed into his space suit and was about to go out when Doom suddenly asked everyone to gather in the safest command room.

Reed asked in confusion, "Doom, what happened?"

"It's something."

Doom was about to speak. Suddenly, a warning came from the computer next to him. Reed glanced at it and said in shock: "No, the clouds of the Cosmic Storm are accelerating, and they will arrive in ten minutes!"

Everyone was stunned, Susan thought of something, and said to Doom: "Doom, you called us here because of this, right?"

"Doom, thank you!"

Ben said gratefully that without Doom, he might not have to come back and wander outside.

Doom blinked, 'I want to say I don't know either, would you believe it?'

"Of course, it's because of this!"

Doom said proudly: "You stay in the command cabin and don't go out, I will adjust the system!"

"Doom, let me help you!"

Reed was feeling very guilty, he made a mistake in his calculation, and this project is about to fail again!

'People who invest in him won't end well.'
