Blackheart never would have thought that he, a demon, would one day be ambushed by an Earthling.
Isn't that the devil's specialty?
Why are you so skilled at it!
Seeing Blackheart injured, the Wind Demon immediately roared and transformed into wind, rushing toward the Shadow.
However, the moment he entered the area of the Shadow, a tide of Shadows surged around him.
The Shadow Legion, using either knives, shuriken, or claws, quickly sliced and dismembered the Wind Demon.
The Wind Demon quickly elementalized himself into wind, but dozens of wounds still appeared on his body.
At the same time, he rapidly retreated into the light, looking at the surrounding shadows in horror.
Something isn't right.
I'm a damn demon, how did I get ambushed by a group of dark creatures?
I'm not an exorcist; this is truly outrageous!
"Bastards, you have angered me!"
At this moment, the large hole in Blackheart's chest rapidly healed. In a frenzy of rage, he tore off his human skin disguise, revealing his true appearance.
A pitch-black, hideous, humanoid monster.
Blackheart was a terrifying devil, born of absolute darkness, condensed by Mephisto from the evil of the World.
Furthermore, he had no soul, and having absorbed some of Mephisto's energy, he was, to some extent, extremely capable of restraining Mephisto himself.
Mephisto originally just wanted to create a son he could manipulate at will, but he unexpectedly created a superior.
Coupled with the fact that Blackheart's very existence was absolute darkness, he felt no gratitude toward Mephisto. Instead, he planned patricide to take the position of King of Hell himself.
For this reason, Mephisto had spent millennia suppressing and limiting Blackheart's power and influence, making it difficult for him to strengthen himself by consuming resentment and souls.
Even so, Blackheart possessed extremely powerful regenerative abilities, and his strength was in no way inferior to the likes of the Hulk.
Moreover, he mastered a certain concept of death, allowing him to freely devour the vitality of others and bestow death upon them.
Luke's energy attack originated from Carol's energy ray.
Although the attack, augmented by other forces, pierced Blackheart's chest, it did not kill him.
Instead, he was about to fully recover in an instant, a healing ability in no way inferior to Wolverine's.
"As expected, Captain Marvel's ability is still more than a notch weaker."
Luke shook his head in disappointment.
That's right. Thanos, who possessed six Infinity Stones, released energy with them, yet the awakened Thor, wielding the Stormbreaker axe, nearly ended the entire story with a single blow.
The Stones themselves are powerful, but rays... they're only good for bullying weaklings.
Especially when dealing with undead creatures like this.
It definitely won't work without special methods.
If Carol had been here, her pure energy ray wouldn't have been able to breach his defense at all.
Blackheart gathered violent magical power, stirring up the celestial phenomena. The originally clear sky suddenly developed thick clouds, simultaneously unleashing countless bolts of thunder and lightning.
Under Blackheart's control, the thunder and light caused the cloud layer to form the shape of a skull.
"Tremble! Despair! You are about to face the King of Hell!"
Blackheart grinned broadly.
Luke looked at the darkening sky, then at the countless bolts of thunder, and smiled too.
But the Wind Demon couldn't smile.
He looked at his surroundings in shock, as the dense dark clouds allowed darkness to completely occupy the entire suburban forest.
Countless shadows flickered, and every movement caused the Wind Demon to panic.
As a demon, this was the first time he had ever feared the darkness so much.
Who the heck would believe this if I told them!
"Blackheart, we..."
Before the Wind Demon could finish speaking, Blackheart was enraged again by Luke's smile. His entire body shot into the sky, and his fan-sized claws swept down, seemingly intent on tearing Luke to shreds.
However, in the next moment,
Crackle—!!
Dozens of brilliant bolts of lightning tore through the darkness, striking Blackheart mid-air, frying him until he was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside before he crashed heavily into the Earth.
Simultaneously, using the fleeting light of the lightning, countless Shadow Legion members emerged from the shadows, surrounding the terrified Wind Demon once more.
"If you have the guts, come fight me one-on-one!"
The Wind Demon was greatly startled, desperately trying to fend off the Shadow Legion's group attack.
But the Wind Demon was not a High Demon after all, especially against so many enemies.
After only two or three parries, the Shadows disabled his limbs, leaving no part of his body intact.
The dust spirit mask had also been upgraded to the latest version by Luke.
The resulting improvement was comprehensive.
The Shadow Legion soldiers had received a massive boost in strength; the average Shadow Legion member was now at the Spider-Man level.
Furthermore, their intelligence had also significantly increased.
In addition, Shadow Legion members could now speak normally, having learned the languages of various countries and ethnic groups around the World, including the minor languages of some small tribes.
Especially the Ninja Corps, which not only served as all-purpose nannies and excellent warriors but, at Luke's instruction, also began studying management, psychology, politics, and other subjects.
The goal was to cultivate every member of the Ninja Corps into a versatile talent.
Moreover, Luke was preparing to acquire alien training materials from Asgard.
This would allow the Shadow Legion to master major alien languages and learn the customs of different Planets.
Luke was unwilling to push himself, but he could certainly force the Shadow Legion to study.
Anyway, these guys were all diligent and hardworking, and learning an extra skill was beneficial.
The Wind Demon's strength was not considered great; only his wind elementalization ability was noteworthy.
But the Shadow Legion were inherently intangible Shadows; everyone was in a void state, so who was afraid of whom?
The moment the Wind Demon materialized, they would swarm him without hesitation.
They thoughtfully left the half-dead Wind Demon for Luke to collect the kill.
Luke casually threw out a ball of Fire to finish off the Wind Demon.

"Haaah!!!"
Blackheart didn't care about the Wind Demon's life or death. Having recovered again from the lightning strike, he only wanted to tear Luke to shreds.
As long as he could get close, a mere Luke was nothing to him.
What he was most proud of was his invincible physique.
Even Mephisto dared not confront him head-on.
To inflict heavy damage on Luke, Blackheart stirred up dark energy to cover his body, elevating his physique by several levels.
Wherever he passed, the Earth cracked, the forest shattered, and the lightning in the sky became more rapid and intense.
Luke watched Blackheart approach expressionlessly. Just then, the sky brightened significantly, and all the power of the thunder twisted together, converging into a terrifying force filled with destructive aura.
This greatly alarmed Blackheart.
He looked up and saw that the dark battle environment he had painstakingly created was being manipulated by some power, forcibly transforming the lightning into a terrifying Qilin.
"No!!"
Blackheart realized that the guy in front of him could control lightning!
The weather phenomena he had worked so hard to create had instead become Luke's aid!
Luke spoke softly, "Thanks!"
The sky was torn open by the lightning.
That day, all of New York lit up.
Boom—!
The terrifying thunder leveled the area spanning several kilometers. All the forests and slopes were shattered, leaving only residual Mars and a pit flowing with magma on the ground, seemingly narrating what had occurred.
However, from within that magma, a cracked, weakened figure laboriously crawled out.
"I'm not dead yet, I can still fight! Hahaha! I knew it! What can mere thunder do to me?!"
Blackheart laughed loudly. If it were an ordinary demon god avatar, he would certainly have been annihilated by this strike.
But Alexander had used hundreds of thousands of lives as sacrifices, and aside from the energy loss required to temporarily break the Vishanti barrier, this still left Blackheart with a small portion of his main body's energy.
That was the power of a Demon God.
On Earth, he could absolutely rampage!
But...
A familiar figure appeared in the sky, causing Blackheart's roar to halt.
Eyes red like the Fire of rage stared fixedly at him.
"Luke, you can't kill me! I will..."
A flash of golden light crossed Luke's eyes. "You've absorbed quite a few souls, haven't you."
Blackheart had a bad premonition, stumbling back two steps. "What do you mean?"
"Didn't your father tell you what deal he made with me?"
The unease in his heart grew stronger.
Blackheart roared, "What exactly are you trying to say!"
"Bastard! Count your sins!"
Luke activated the Eye of Judgment, staring directly into Blackheart's eyes.
Countless deceased souls were bound within his body. Upon being gazed upon by the Eye of Judgment, Blackheart's body itself was subjected to judgment.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Blackheart's voice contained the overlapping wails of countless souls.
"Old man, you tricked me!"
"I remember you. I will definitely return!"
Immediately afterward, Blackheart was completely burned into ashes!

...
Meanwhile, in another corner of New York.
Mephisto sighed. "A waste, as expected. It seems I still have to step in."
"Am I right?"
Standing silently beside Mephisto was a tall figure.
It was expressionless, like a silent mountain.
Only when it heard the name Luke did its pupils show a slight change.
"I grant you the opportunity for revenge. I will bestow upon you greater power, and reliable friends."
"Kill him!"
