I'm working on Marvel's Spider-Man in American comics.

Chapter 735 Lies
The raging hellfire, of course... didn't hurt anyone.

As the saying goes, smoke can be deadly. The massive flames covered almost everyone, but no one was hurt. Strange teleported everyone away with a wave of his hand. In fact, Iliana could have done it even faster, but the demonized Iliana was unaware of this.

Immediately afterward, amidst the raging flames, a colossal, flaming demon rose from the ground—the second creature summoned by Iliana. This gigantic demon, tens of meters tall, aimed a punch at Velasco. Velasco, however, gracefully parried with his sideways thrust, and the demon's entire arm was severed.

"This is the first time I've seen Velasco fight so well—the last time we ganged up on him, it felt like we didn't even have to use any force before he went down."

Peter watched from a distance as Velasco sliced ​​the demon to pieces with a few sword strikes; judging by that output, few present could withstand it. Then he saw the demonized Magik leap into the air, carrying his greatsword, and charge down.

Logically, the best way to deal with Velasco is to banish him from the frontier. His return is likely inextricably linked to the Dark Corporation and figures like Mephisto. Therefore, banishing him and then dealing with the Dark Corporation would ensure Velasco's safety until he devises a new way to return to the frontier.

Unfortunately, while Iliana's physical abilities after her demonic transformation rivaled those of the Thing and Hulk, certain aspects of her character clearly declined rapidly. She appears to be mentally sound, but she tends to focus more on immediate problem-solving than on deeper thought.

“If this continues, I’m worried that she’ll collapse from exhaustion before she even thinks about exiling the other party.”

Wanda sighed, while Moon Knight ran to Peter's side and complained, "I hate this place. There's no moon here. You hate it here too, right? After all, there are no spiders here."

"...I would hate it even more if there were spiders here, man. Who knows what kind of spiders are here?"

After listening, Moon Knight nodded in agreement: "I agree too. If there is a moon in this place, then Kong Su probably has multiple personalities, just like me."

"You're quite self-aware." Peter shook his head, then looked at his teammates. Lure number two, Bloodstone Elsa, squinted at the distance. Peter curiously approached Elsa and asked, "As a professional monster hunter, what do you think?"

"My advice is to run away. I've never encountered such a powerful monster before. Generally speaking, this shouldn't be a monster I should be dealing with. Professional work should be left to professionals."

“However,” Elsa added, “if we run away now, we won’t be able to see what happens next, will we?”

Iron Fist was meditating and resting, Blade stood to one side as always, while Johnny nervously looked around, seemingly paying attention to something. When he saw Peter walking towards him, he shook his head helplessly: "Sorry, I was just... worried that Mephisto might be here, but the good news is, I didn't find him. Neither you nor Strange seem to have him either."

At that moment, Strange opened a portal and appeared beside them.

"This is the best news, and also the strangest news. Mephisto seems to care nothing for these dark corporations and Velasco. His plan includes these people, but he doesn't care whether they succeed or what they want to do. The dark corporations crave wealth, so he went ahead and speculated on stocks in Roxon Corporation, then divided the stocks into two parts. He gave the part with the devil's contract to the dark corporations, while he sold the real stocks."

“And Velasco, Mephisto probably found him somewhere along the way. He needed these people to help him, and the Dark Corporation had both the capability and the willingness to do these things, so they quickly reached an agreement. But the problem is… all Mephisto got were the souls of those who had been possessed, and not even those souls that had signed a contract with him.” Even Strange found this strange: “That’s why I’m wondering, what exactly is Mephisto’s demand?”

Peter looked at Strange with some surprise, then asked, "Shouldn't we be more focused on the battle in front of us?"

The two mages, Velasco and Iliana, engaged in a spectacular magical duel: the two wielding swords clashed back and forth, hacking away at each other and tearing down several hills on the border of Hell, fighting for about seven or eight kilometers, and still continuing their close-quarters combat. After watching for a while, Strange's furrowed brows relaxed: "No, no need. Her soul armor is gradually re-covering her body, which means Magik is in much better condition."

If this fight continues, Iliana's soul will soon return to balance, and her intelligence will regain its dominance, making it much easier to deal with Velasco. Besides, given their current fighting strength—they'd be exhausted after fighting a mountain for a short while—most of the people present wouldn't be able to intervene.

"I'm going to discuss with the King and the Voodoo Doctor how to counter the possible Sithon summoning spells. Scarlet Witch? We need your help here too."

Wanda pointed to herself, and after realizing that Strange was really talking about her, she obediently followed. Peter, on the other hand, couldn't wait to ask, "What about me? Is there anything I can do?"

"You? Hmm, if our plan fails, I need you to use all the power granted to you by the Web of Fate to tear a huge hole in reality and completely interrupt the summoning ritual."

After Strange finished speaking, he glanced at the battlefield in the distance and then added, "In addition, if we can't find a way to hurt Velasco, then your spatial tear is probably the only way to harm him."

Peter nodded, then watched Strange leave. He walked over to Ironfist and sat down. Moon Knight was sitting nearby, and Peter said, "Strange is lying. He has other plans."

"How did you know?"

"Because that mustache doesn't look like a good person."

Moon Knight leaned over and answered Iron Fist for Peter. Peter was stunned for a moment by this quick answer, then shook his head: "That's not the reason. It's because my spider sense can detect that he's lying."

Iron Fist opened his eyes and looked at Peter: "Your spider-sense can do this too?"

"yes……"

Spider-Man Noir's spider-sense is what allows him to do this.
