Chapter 312: Escaping Back to Hell and Planning

With a buzz, as the terrifying force of the Kamehameha Wave caused everything around to tremble and the mirror space itself became unstable, a mysterious power suddenly emerged from the Clown Car. This power, somewhat similar to a portal, took advantage of the instability in the mirror space to locate a weak point and opened a portal. The Clown Car rushed into it with lightning speed!

Following this, the Kamehameha Wave that had locked onto the Clown Car powerfully surged into the portal. Despite the portal closing quickly, it failed to block the Kamehameha Wave.

In an instant, Robert glimpsed the scene on the other side of the portal—a figure resembling Mephisto but with devilish horns on his head and emitting a terrifying aura.

Mephisto's true form! The other side of the portal was the dimension of Hell!

"Boom!" The next moment, the hand that was meant to strike the Clown Car with the Kamehameha Wave was grabbed by a large hand, but the subsequent explosion engulfed everything around, obscuring all with light and dust. By then, the portal had closed, and Robert could no longer see into the dimension of Hell, unsure whether his Kamehameha Wave had been effective.

"Did he really escape? Escaped all the way to the dimension of Hell in one go?" Surprise flashed in Robert's eyes, something he had not anticipated. Although Mephisto's desire to flee had always been clear, Robert had not expected him to actually succeed, given that the mirror space had seemed so reliable before.

"If it was just Mephisto's power alone, he probably couldn't have returned, but the Ghost Rider with whom he has a pact possesses the ability to travel between Earth and the dimension of Hell. Even if the Ghost Rider himself hasn't developed this ability yet, Mephisto's far greater power could have enhanced the Ghost Rider to this level," Gu Yi explained softly after hearing Robert's comments.

"The mirror space is not invincible. Without my control, breaking this mirror space wouldn't be too difficult, and spatial abilities make it somewhat easier to enter and exit, especially when your power puts significant pressure on the mirror space."

"A Ghost Rider? Capable of traveling between Earth and the dimension of Hell?" Robert furrowed his brows, aware of how beings from Hell dimension come to Earth but not so easily. This Ghost Rider seemed quite unique.

"Yes, speaking of which, this Ghost Rider is not just a messenger of Hell, but also of Heaven!" Gu Yi nodded slightly, her gaze flickering as if recalling some history. "Initially, due to excessive actions by Heaven, the divine assembly discovered Earth, leading to Heaven's expulsion from Earth after which Earth witnessed a twilight of gods, with many divine beings forced to withdraw, no longer maintaining their former glory."

"Although it has been a long and painful transition, for humanity in the long run, the absence of numerous divine beings is actually beneficial. Otherwise, humans on Earth, despite receiving the power of many divine beings, would only ever be like sheep in a pen..."

"For Heaven and Jehovah, however, this was not good news. Earth became a forbidden zone for Heaven and angels, unable to receive the faith power from Earth, and powerful angels were barred from entering..."

"Thus, Jehovah created the spirits of vengeance, attempting to circumvent and expand Heaven's authority through the dimension of Hell, or rather, from the inception of Heaven, they coveted the power of Hell's dimension..."

"The power within the Ghost Rider, which includes the spirit of vengeance, when combined with Hell's power, makes the Ghost Rider seem unlike a product of Heaven and also grants him the ability to travel between Earth and Hell!"

"The Ghost Rider, while seemingly a minion of Mephisto, isn't necessarily under Mephisto's control, and due to his unique abilities, the Ghost Rider can play a more significant role on Earth than Mephisto. That's why Mephisto chose to merge his consciousness with the Ghost Rider, needing his power to return to Earth to carry out his plan!"

"What is his plan?" Robert was less interested in the origins of the Ghost Rider, especially since he had little regard for Heaven, focusing more on Mephisto's plans.

"Even I don't know what his backup plan is. I'm not omniscient, and not to mention the dimensions of Heaven and Hell, many dimensional demons and even deities somewhat friendly to Earth have left many contingencies on Earth. How could I possibly discover every single one?" Gu Yi shrugged, her expression earnest as she spoke to Robert.

Seeing Gu Yi's expression, Robert fell silent for a moment. Honestly, if Gu Yi hadn't used that particular expression, he might have believed her.

However, considering that Gu Yi had provided him and Mephisto with a perfect battlefield, allowing him to unleash his full strength, Robert couldn't

 really complain and just nodded his head.

"So, next time, if I uncover Mephisto's schemes and end up fighting him again, would you help set up this mirror space?" Robert asked, looking expectantly at Gu Yi.

Now it was Gu Yi's turn to be silent. She was inclined to refuse, but considering Robert's destructive power, she felt that if she didn't assist, Earth might truly suffer.

"If every time you fight, I need to set up the battlefield, what's the difference between that and me fighting directly?"

"I'm just a worker, please don't exploit me. Try to control your own destructive power!" Gu Yi shook her head, not directly agreeing to help Robert and even feeling somewhat regretful for having intervened because of Mephisto's appearance, let alone using the mirror space.

"Perhaps Robert and Mephisto's battle would not have been so destructive without the mirror space?"

"The enemy was too strong, I couldn't control it..." Robert opened his mouth, wanting to say more, but the mirror space collapsed instantly, and Constantine and Claire's presence entered his perception, while Gu Yi's figure had already disappeared.

"Saiyan, are you alright?" Seeing Robert appear unharmed, Constantine reacted even faster than Claire, not only rushing to Robert's side but also preempting Claire's intended question.

"???" Claire looked somewhat dazed at Constantine, not understanding why he was more excited than she was, and since Constantine had already said what she intended to, what was she to say?

"I'm fine, but you'll need to keep an eye on Mephisto and that Ghost Rider; they'll be back!" Robert quickly recovered from Gu Yi's refusal to create a mirror space, waving his hand at Constantine and speaking earnestly.

Although he did not know exactly what Mephisto's schemes were, since Gu Yi had mentioned Mephisto would use the Ghost Rider to return to Earth, it naturally meant Constantine should help keep an eye out. Wasn't this a chance for Constantine to prove his value?

"Why do you again..." Constantine paused, instinctively wanting to stop Robert from mentioning Mephisto's name, but he soon realized that even if Mephisto had left Earth, he likely couldn't do much to Robert as long as Mephisto couldn't transfer all his powers from the Hell dimension to Earth.

Considering this, Robert didn't need to fear Mephisto, the so-called lord of Hell, nor any other lords of Hell wishing to come to Earth's dimension, all of whom would need to pay a price!

With this thought, Constantine wasn't so afraid anymore. Even if he hadn't gotten closer to Robert, as long as danger arose, Robert wouldn't just stand by, right? Just like this time, as long as Constantine could hold on for a while, Robert would always come to help...

"Alright, I got it. I'll keep an eye on Mephisto and that Ghost Rider!" After thinking this through, Constantine nodded with a smile, then looked expectantly at Robert and asked, "After we left, it seems your fight didn't last very long. Are you that much stronger than Mephisto's incarnation?"

"Not just in terms of strength; I'm not necessarily stronger than him, but he didn't really want to fight..." Robert shook his head somewhat disappointedly, "I thought, after he got so angry and spent so much just to descend an incarnation, even if he couldn't win, he should have fought to the end. But no, he turned out to be so cowardly; as soon as he realized he couldn't overpower me, he thought about escaping..."

"Lords of Hell are like that; he already expended so much energy to come here. If he also loses this incarnation to you, he'd lose twice, and he certainly wouldn't want that!" Constantine shook his head with a sigh.

In fact, not just lords of Hell, but all kinds of dimensional demons, one and all, don't like to be on the losing end. Once they notice a significant loss, they will inevitably choose to cut their losses, just like that dimensional debt collector realized that recouping debts from Robert might cost even more and decisively blacklisted him.

"Okay, call me if you need anything." Robert nodded and didn't stay long. He had arrived in a hurry and had only briefly spoken to Kara; he needed to go back and explain things a bit more, and then find Clark to discuss the lord of Hell's affairs.

Meanwhile, in the dimension of Hell, compared to the last time Robert's Kamehameha Wave struck into the dimension of Hell, this time's Kamehameha Wave was many times more powerful. However, this immense power didn't achieve the previous accomplishment against the lord of Hell; it didn't blow Mephisto's palace into oblivion, leaving him homeless. In

 Mephisto's hands, the power of the Kamehameha Wave was greatly weakened, and even though it ultimately exploded, causing quite a stir, it only slightly broke Mephisto's defenses...

"Drip!" A few drops of blood fell from Mephisto's body, but his injuries quickly healed. Nearby, the Clown Car still existed, unharmed in the explosion, and within it lay a bone of the Ghost Rider, which was the Clown's final hope of recovery.

"Saiyan? What kind of monster is he? What energy does he use? Could it be from another race in the universe?" Mephisto glanced at the Clown Car and the blood on the ground, his eyes flashing with anger as he pondered.

"His strength isn't considered strong in Hell, barely reaching the lower limit of a lord of Hell. The main issue is his destructive power, which is indeed troublesome. With such destructive force, coupled with his presence on Earth, there really isn't much way to deal with him, especially since Gu Yi wouldn't allow him to fight freely on Earth..."

"The Eye of Judgment didn't get a chance to be tried, this guy's close combat skills are too good, trying to temporarily control him to use the Eye of Judgment is really too difficult. If he ends up controlling it instead, it would be nearly impossible to recover that part of the energy..."

"Trouble! Earth is indeed a place blessed with exceptional individuals. I thought the knight I found was already quite special, but then there's this freak!"

"Let it be, I won't provoke him for now. Continuously sending energy to the dimension of Earth is also hard to create an incarnation strong enough to kill him, and the cost is too great. Let the Ghost Rider complete my plan first..."

Mephisto's gaze turned to the Clown Car. Honestly, he wanted to smash the Clown Car right there, mainly because its appearance was quite ugly, significantly lowering the aesthetic level of the Ghost Rider's mounts.

But in the end, Mephisto did not act to destroy the Clown Car. Instead, with a thought, the drops of blood on the ground floated up and merged into the bone within the Clown Car...
