Mike jumped into the large pit and picked up the large cross, which was covered in dust.
Instantly, this cross, which was over 1.5 meters long, seemed to come alive, and circles of Holy Light emanated from it.
The surrounding dim demonic energy was dispelled, eventually forming a huge Holy Light barrier.
Within this barrier, Mike felt his strength increase by about ten percent.
"What a good item!!!"
After the Holy Light converged back into the Holy Light Cross, Mike casually brandished this weapon, which had turned golden.
The texture and feel were excellent; it could be used for blocking and smashing in close combat, and as a boomerang for ranged attacks.
One could say that this type of weapon, which required Holy Light to activate, was a complete waste on Lucifer, who had already fallen.
"All right, let's go back—"
After silently thanking Lucifer for his gift, Mike summoned the Gate of Hell again, preparing to lead his group away.
Just then, a black mist flew over from a distance at an extremely fast speed.
"You destroyed the Shadow Demon Clan? And where is Lucifer now?" After the black mist landed, it transformed into a demon over three meters tall with two horns on his head.
"You're welcome, Satan. We've already helped you solve the hidden danger of the Shadow Demon," Mike said with a smile, "As for Lucifer, he probably won't have another chance to challenge you. Aren't you happy?"
The newcomer was none other than Satan, the Lord of Hell.
As the Lord of Hell, Satan naturally paid close attention to the recently restless Shadow Demon Clan and Lucifer.
He had come over to check the situation after hearing reports from his subordinates that someone was fighting the Shadow Demon Clan.
As a result, in just this short time, the entire Shadow Demon Clan had been scattered.
Judging from the Holy Light Cross in Mike's hand, Lucifer's current situation should also not be very good.
Satan indeed did not like Lucifer and the Shadow Demon Clan. But no matter what, they were both forces on Hell's side.
Mike bringing people to destroy them like this made Satan, the Lord of Hell, lose a lot of face.
Moreover, Satan had only just found out after returning that Mike had secretly blown up his castle in the central district two days ago.
Therefore, compared to the unruly Lucifer, Satan actually detested Mike, this human who did not play by the rules, even more.
"Without my permission, you caused trouble in Hell. Are you ready to accept your punishment?" Black energy erupted from Satan, his expression changing instantly.
Mike had reason to believe that the other party was taking the opportunity to pick a fight and wanted to deal with him.
"Don't be so agitated, let's talk slowly. I helped you solve the hidden danger of Lucifer, and I haven't even asked for payment yet," Mike still faced the Demon King's wrath with a smile.
Behind his back, he was secretly gesturing to Crowley and the others with his hand, telling them to leave through the Gate of Hell first.
If fighting the Shadow Demon Clan, Crowley and the others could still provide some help, but facing Satan, the Lord of Hell, they were completely a burden.
Only by letting them leave first could Mike unleash his full power without restraint.
Crowley also understood the gravity of the situation. Already not wanting to face Satan, he took Mike's role and urged the group to quickly leave through the Gate of Hell.
"Lord of Hell, huh! I also have several scores to settle with you—" With no one holding him back, Mike immediately reverted to his true colors.
His Mythical Level was already close to Level 4, and he had gained a lot of Corruption Points when he eliminated the Shadow Demon Clan and dealt with Lucifer.
This also allowed his total energy value to finally break the 100 million mark, officially entering Mythical Level 4.
Excluding the various talent ability bonuses he possessed, his current raw strength was no longer inferior to Lucifer's.
Coupled with special talents like Power of the Void, he no longer needed to fear Satan.
"Two days no see, it seems you're very confident in your current strength."
Watching the human across from him make a frivolous beckoning gesture, Satan grinned sinisterly and summoned the Cursed Spear, "I just don't know if your strength is harder than your mouth!!!"
As he spoke, the Lord of Hell, shrouded in demonic energy, brandished the spear in his hand and thrust it at Mike.
However, what surprised him was that the human opposite him maintained a half-smile expression and did not react to his attack.
As the Lord of Hell was surprised, the spear in his hand, imbued with curses, passed directly through Mike's body.
How to describe that strange feeling? It was like hitting an illusion.
There was no sense of impact...
"How is it? Amazing, right?"
Mike, whose new ability experiment was successful, turned around with a chuckle and looked at the Lord of Hell, who was already behind him.
As he spoke, he raised the cross, which was radiating Holy Light, and launched a sneak attack, hitting Satan squarely in the face.
Sending him flying.
"What's going on?" Satan, who had been successfully ambushed due to carelessness, still couldn't figure out what had just happened after getting up.
This was also thanks to Shadow. Although his ability was very strong, he was very low-key when he was in the Shadow Demon.
Therefore, the Lord of Hell had never witnessed his power before.
This gave Mike the opportunity for a sneak attack.
"Do you think I'd be stupid enough to explain it to you?" Mike still had a smile on his face.
Then, he was seen planting the Holy Light Cross into the ground, forming a Holy Light barrier.
Encompassing both himself and the Lord of Hell within it.
Then, with a flash of Holy Light, a spear also appeared in Mike's hand—a golden yellow spear shining with Holy Light.
"Let's fight!"
After a loud shout, Mike raised the Holy Light Spear and charged at Satan.
A great battle was about to erupt!
The Lord of Hell no longer dwelled on Mike's strange ability; as long as he defeated him, he would know the answer one day.
However, the subsequent battle made Satan feel that same sense of powerlessness again.
Most of his attacks were dodged by Mike with his strange Power of the Void, while Mike's occasional counterattacks left many wounds on him.
It could be said that Satan's dark energy was perfectly countered by the Power of the Void on Mike's body.
"How is it? Still want to fight?"
After a round of fighting, Mike stood tall, his spear pointed obliquely, his posture indescribably dashing.
And the Lord of Hell standing opposite him, although not fatally wounded, looked a bit disheveled.
"An impressive mortal!"
Satan, realizing he could no longer do anything to the human opposite him, put away his weapon and prepared to leave.
Indicating that he did not want to continue being annoyed here.
"Don't leave yet, I still have something to tell you." Mike knew when to stop and also put away his weapon, saying, "From now on, the human world is under my protection. You can no longer send your subordinate demons to cause trouble."
"Likewise, Crowley, Ghost Rider, and the others are all my people. You can no longer target them."
Although Mike couldn't defeat Satan yet, with Power of the Void, he was already invincible even in Hell.
On the contrary, the Lord of Hell's power would be suppressed when passing through the Gate of Hell. In this situation, if he dared to cause trouble in the human world and Mike discovered him, he would definitely suffer.
Therefore, Mike now had the ability to negotiate with the Lord of Hell.
"I can agree to your request, but you must also promise me that you will no longer cause trouble in Hell in the future." Satan's mind was still clear, and he immediately put forward his own demand.
Anyway, this was not the first time he had done such a thing; long ago, he had even signed a peace treaty with God.
Mike's current strength already qualified him to stand shoulder to shoulder with God, so Satan "giving in" was not shameful.
"No, no, no, my coming to Hell isn't necessarily to cause trouble. Didn't I just help you solve the hidden danger of Lucifer?" How could Mike give up Hell, this dungeon for gaining Corruption Points? So he said, "In the future, I can continue to help you solve those disobedient lord-level archdemons..."
"I can handle the affairs of Hell myself, I don't need your interference." Satan listened, and the more he heard, the more he felt something was wrong, finally unable to resist interrupting Mike's speech.
"How can you not need help? Hell is vast, and there are always places you can't oversee. For example, this time with the Shadow Demon, if I hadn't arrived first, that yellow-eyed demon named Azazel would have already been sent to the human world." Mike casually found a reason to refute the Lord of Hell.
Whether the other party believed it or not, Mike himself believed it, anyway.
This was the importance of holding the initiative.
Moreover, the current situation was not that Mike needed to beg Satan; rather, it was the other party who needed to beg him not to cause trouble.
