"Tell me, what exactly happened? Did someone break through Kamar-Taj's barrier?"
Luke's expression tightened slightly. A Hell Demon King capable of triggering Kamar-Taj's alert was definitely no ordinary character.
Wong's expression was solemn as he recalled and spoke: "A few days ago, we detected a large number of energy signatures appearing in the North U.S. region. Mordo and Kaecilius led teams to investigate and found that someone was using the blood and souls of the massive number of deceased beings as a catalyst to communicate with a certain Demon King in Hell."
"We are currently investigating the true identity of the culprit, but he seems to know us well and deliberately avoids us, always managing to retreat before the sorcerers arrive."
"As you know, many of the casualties caused by the Alien Alliance's invasion carry intense resentment."
"These are exactly the delicacies demons love the most."
"Under normal circumstances, Kamar-Taj's barrier can isolate the power of a Dimensional Demon God, but if someone intentionally performs a sacrifice and uses a large number of living beings as a guide, even if they cannot fully summon the Demon King, they can still transmit a large portion of energy and a Demon God clone."
"We suspect that a clone of a Hell Demon King has already descended upon Earth, and he is currently lurking in the shadows, plotting some unknown, evil scheme."
Hearing that it was only a Demon God clone, Luke felt reassured.
If the Demon God himself hadn't descended, what was there to fear?
"Are you able to determine which Demon God it is?"
Luke continued to ask.
Wong shook his head. "I don't know, but I think the high probability is Mephisto? He is the most cunning and the Demon God who has invaded the real World the most times."
Luke wasn't surprised by this news.
The workaholic!
The Hell version of HYDRA.
Wherever there is trouble, there is Mephisto's shadow. When it comes to stirring up trouble, the workaholic is a professional.
Moreover, Mephisto has the greatest motive.
Last time at the school, Luke severely tricked Mephisto.
Putting himself in his shoes, if Luke were Mephisto, he absolutely wouldn't tolerate it!
Revenge! He would fiercely retaliate!
"If it is Mephisto, then he will actively come looking for me."
Luke relaxed. He wasn't afraid of Mephisto showing up; he was only afraid the opponent would keep hiding.
Wong was very confused. Did Luke have a connection with Mephisto?
Seeing Luke's nostalgic appearance, Wong found it increasingly strange.
However, he did not ask further and continued, "Your Excellency Luke, it is best if your... friends do not go out alone these next few days."
"Once we find the other party, we ask that you lend us a hand."
"We are willing to provide sufficiently generous compensation."
Wong said this very respectfully.
The Ancient One is astrally projecting and traveling in other dimensions, so Mordo and Wong are currently in charge of Kamar-Taj.
If it really is a Hell Demon King, even the weakest one is not someone they can handle.
Regardless, that is still a Dimensional Demon God who controls at least one dimension!
"That works. Let me say this upfront, my service fee is very high. Are you authorized to speak for Kamar-Taj?"
Luke asked suspiciously. This was not the time when Stephen was in charge.
Wong served as the acting Sorcerer Supreme for many years, and even after Stephen returned, he could only stand aside.
At that time, Wong could naturally take charge, but now, while the Ancient One is still around, it is certainly not Wong's turn to be the decision-maker.
Mordo is the true first in line.
"Of course, this was specifically instructed by the Sorcerer Supreme."
Wong replied affirmatively, Mordo and Kaecilius flashing through his mind.
Even if they had reservations, they wouldn't dare object!
Luke genuinely dared to kill them!
If there was a next time, the Ancient One might not necessarily resurrect them.
Just then, magic fluctuations came from outside.
After receiving Luke's permission, another yellow-robed sorcerer hurried in. When he saw Luke, he subconsciously lowered his head.
He seemed to recall some unpleasant memories.
"Wong, Senior Brother Mordo has new intelligence. This demonic invasion incident is suspected to be related to vampires."
"Vampires? Why would it be them?"
"That shouldn't be. How could vampires be connected to Hell? Even if they wanted to summon an otherworldly Demon God, they should be looking for Chthon."
Wong was very surprised. Although vampires are undead creatures, their relationship with Hell is not significant.
If they were to talk about relationships, they should be closer to Chthon.
Chthon is the God of Dark magic. He created many dark creatures, including vampires, werewolves, and goblins.
He even holds the title, Father of Monsters.
Vampires not looking for their own ancestor but running off to find a Hell Demon King—isn't that just reckless behavior!
"Are you sure it's vampires?"
"There's no mistake. Some of the deceased had all their blood drained, and every sacrifice ritual was conducted at night."
Wong was bewildered. "Why would vampires not stick to sucking blood but instead collude with Hell? If the Hell Demon King really destroyed the World, wouldn't the vampires be finished too?"
"In the eyes of demons, vampires are no different from humans."
Vampires are neither ghosts nor evil spirits.
In the eyes of demons, vampires are equally appealing.
Chthon commands great respect, but a small fry like a vampire—one of countless creations—doesn't have enough influence for the demons to care about.
More importantly, vampires need to suck blood. If humans were gone, how would they survive?
"Could it be that those immortal monsters have lived too long and want to find more thrilling entertainment, perhaps experiencing the arrival of the apocalypse?"
Wong muttered.
Luke nodded in agreement. "That makes some sense."
Never mind vampires, the wealthy people who have experienced many conventional pastimes play increasingly extravagant and thrilling games.
Pedophilia, homosexuality, erotic asphyxiation, group gatherings, and so on, repeatedly challenging the moral baseline.
Or they engage in high-risk sports that crazily test the boundaries of death.
It is not surprising that vampires, who are richer, stronger, and have longer lifespans than humans, play even more exciting games.
Only by seeking greater thrills can they find happiness and briefly satisfy their empty and distorted spiritual World.
Following that, they continue to pursue projects that are more perverse, more insane, and more incomprehensible.
However, Luke thought of something else.
"Speaking of which, do you know of an immortal named Alexander?"
"Alexander? An immortal?"
Wong subconsciously thought of Alexander Pierce, but immediately shook his head.
Later, Wong recalled something.
In a corner of the Kamar-Taj library, he had once flipped through the Collection of Anomalous Creatures.
It contained many hypotheses and understandings that went against common sense.
It might not have been read by a sorcerer for hundreds of years.
As the librarian, he was widely read and quickly recalled the name Alexander.
Wong hesitated. "Are you referring to the rumored Hungarian lord named Alexander Corvinus?"
Luke was somewhat surprised. It truly was worthy of a librarian to know even about these matters.
"He is the progenitor of a line of vampires and werewolves. A certain special blood gene flows within him, allowing him to be eternally immortal."
"He had three sons. One was bitten by a wolf and became William, the progenitor of werewolves. One was bitten by a bat and became Marcus, the progenitor of vampires. And one was a normal human."
"If I recall correctly, Alexander secretly organized a covert unit specifically to clean up the traces of battles between werewolves and vampires."
Wong was even more surprised. The Collection of Anomalous Creatures did not detail things this thoroughly.
It only said that Alexander, as a human, was the progenitor of a certain vampire line, and that he had no connection to Chthon, being entirely the result of a normal genetic mutation.
However, the mainstream belief at Kamar-Taj is that all vampire progenitors stem from Chthon.
Including Dracula, the leader of the current strongest vampire faction, whose ancestor can also be traced back to Chthon.
How could Luke know the experiences of Alexander and his sons so clearly?
"But... since Alexander would conceal the existence of vampires and werewolves from humans, he clearly isn't a villain, so why would he perform sacrifices to Hell?"
"I killed his eldest son and his second son."
"..."
Wong suddenly realized. This made sense!
If that were true, Alexander certainly had the motive to act.
But another problem arose.
"If it's him, how would he know the Hell sacrifice ritual?"
This type of genetically mutated, wild vampire would most likely not be considered one of their own by the vampire mainstream.
Not favored by either side.
It would be absolutely impossible for him to obtain information such as magic or rituals.
"It might be Mephisto. I traded Hellfire with him for a fart."
"Ah, this..." Wong was speechless. Kamar-Taj was already the vanguard in tricking Dimensional Demon Gods, but he didn't expect there to be an even greater master!
That was Mephisto, the Demon God mastermind, who once used schemes to make several major Demon Gods run around in circles!
Danm.. Truly worthy of Your Excellency Luke!
So insidious, ah, no, so clever!
