American comics Lord of Hell

“You should have called us earlier; what a waste of time.”

The demons naturally didn't think they were inferior to Chthon, and upon hearing this, they began to offer suggestions. Some of Chthon's previous ideas were rejected, some were simply impractical, and others were downright terrible, almost suicidal.

In the end, no one could come up with a useful idea. Chthon glanced at the middleman and repeated Mephisto's idea, of course, without mentioning that it was Mephisto's suggestion.

“Summon a new world? A movie world?”

Upon hearing this, the middleman exclaimed in dissatisfaction, “Chthon, how come I'm not crazy, but you're going crazy first? How can movie worlds be real?”

“Not necessarily. Some movies are actually projections of other universes, such as the 'Terminator' world.”

Chthon said, “The Death's Head III world of the Mechanical Monarch should also be of this type. However, there's currently no way to distinguish which movies are projections of other universes and which are not.”

“Projections of other universes? That's more scientific.”

The middleman's expression softened slightly upon hearing this. He thought for a moment and said, “Not being able to distinguish which movies are and aren't is not difficult to solve. We'll put all the movies up there as anchor points for the summoning.”

“All the movies?”

Everyone was stunned, except for Chthon, who nodded in agreement because he had the same idea. He said, “We don't need all the movies; just put up all the movies of the type we need.

As long as we determine the type and know the plot, plus the home-field advantage, we'll definitely be able to reap a lot of benefits in that world.

Summoning a new world will not only allow us to complete the sacrificial ceremony but also allow us to obtain a lot of benefits. However, it requires a large investment in the early stages. The magic circle of the Mechanical Monarch requires massive resources.”

Upon hearing the word 'resources,' the demons immediately wanted to leave because they knew that Chthon was going to siphon their resources again.

If it were in the past, that would have been fine, as they had plenty of resources. But now, the demons' resources were almost exhausted, and the Demon Kings had no surplus grain either.

Seeing everyone hesitating, Chthon said, “If we don't use this method, the sacrifice will have to be abandoned.”

“There's no need to be so hasty, right? If we spend more time, we might be able to come up with a solution.”

The Lord of Negativity said; he didn't want the sacrifice to be aborted because he wanted the hellish depths of those universes—he and Chthon had been negotiating, but the differences were too great.

“Where do we have so much time?”

Chthon sighed. He said, “Our opponents are the King of Abilities and the Mechanical Monarch. Although Immortus Kang was vigilant and created the Void Storm in the first instance, the Void Storm can be broken.

The Mechanical Monarch now controls the entire Kang Council. In a few months, they will be able to solve the Void Storm's problem and enter those universes. By then, we will no longer be able to sacrifice the universes owned by Immortus Kang.”

“That's right; no Conqueror Kang should be underestimated, and now, the Mechanical Monarch possesses the entire Kang Council.”

Immortus Kang nodded in agreement. Although the Void Storms in his universes were more terrifying than in other universes, being his old nest with more arrangements, even he didn't expect the Void Storm to be effective forever.

Everyone started to feel a headache. Seeing this, Chthon and Immortus Kang began to vigorously persuade everyone: starting this plan could not only complete the grand plan but also make a lot of money.

“Everyone, if you want benefits, you must pay. Moreover, if we do nothing, we will definitely be completely defeated by the Mechanical Monarch and the King of Abilities, suffering eternal damnation.”

Chthon reminded them. Everyone was very helpless. They looked at each other and could only reluctantly agree.

“Chthon, we have to contribute resources, and so do you.”

The demon said, “Moreover, you can't be the one who contributes the least; otherwise, I'd rather lie there and wait to die than participate in this matter. At worst, I'll defect to the Mechanical Monarch.”

Everyone was speechless. Is it really okay for you to say such a thing in front of us? Do you believe we'll take care of you first?

“What do you think?” Chthon didn't immediately agree but asked the others.

“Hell type?”

Everyone thought about it and expressed their opinions. The middleman said, “Hell type is acceptable; it's better than romance or science fiction films. Especially science fiction films, absolutely not; it's easy to create big trouble.”

The Lord of Negativity nodded and said, “I agree with the middleman's view. The hell type is acceptable. In addition, the doomsday type is also good. In short, I hope it's a world with more negative aura.”

Death said, “The doomsday type is good; the more dead people, the better.”

“I think the zombie type has potential. I've been researching zombie viruses all along. If I do it well, I can give humanity and the Mechanical Monarch a big surprise.”

Set said. Zombie viruses are also toxins, and he had been researching them all along. Of course, the real purpose wasn't to destroy the world, after all, he was a glorious undercover agent.

Basically, everyone agreed to choose hell-type movies. Chthon nodded and said, “Then it's the hell type, plus some zombie doomsday-type movies.

Demon, Set, Death, mobilize your forces on Earth and create a hell-type film festival. Films, materials, props, get as much as you can.

Then, spend money to hire some actors to perform at the film festival. We don't know exactly what things can be used as anchor points, so we can only cast a wide net and catch more fish. We'll always encounter one or two useful ones. If none of them are useful, then we can only blame our bad luck.”

“A film festival is no problem at all. The United States often has various film festivals, which won't arouse any suspicion.”

The demon nodded first, then said, “The problem now is, what if several worlds are summoned at the same time?

I've actually been researching the Mechanical Monarch's magic circle all along. To be honest, it's very profound; I haven't been able to understand it thoroughly. But there's no doubt that with each additional world, we'll have more pressure.

If too many worlds are summoned, will it backfire on us? Moreover, this magic circle was created by the Mechanical Monarch. Will he do something at a critical moment, causing the magic circle to explode and kill us?”

This suspicion… is very reasonable. The Mechanical Monarch really might do such a thing. Moreover, don't forget that this magic circle was deliberately released by the Mechanical Monarch.

Everyone couldn't help but ponder. Chthon thought for a moment and said, “If multiple worlds appear, we should be able to designate one of them to summon. As for the Mechanical Monarch tampering with it, you don't have to worry; I guarantee the Mechanical Monarch can't tamper with it.”

Chthon was full of confidence, but everyone looked at him with suspicion. It seemed like someone had said such a guarantee before?

“I hope you don't end up like the Lord of Order, being repeatedly slapped in the face.”

The demon complained. Chthon was furious. Would he, a dignified Great Demon God, be like the Lord of Order, that idiot?

The middleman was also a little annoyed. After all, the Lord of Order was part of him. He glared at the demon and said, “We'll jointly inspect that magic circle. If the Mechanical Monarch really did something, we should be able to detect it with our level.

In addition, we can try to modify that magic circle, adding designation and other functions.”

The demon asked suspiciously, “We, or rather, can you really do it? Are you not bragging?”

Chthon, Set, Death, and the middleman simultaneously nodded affirmatively. Of course, they could do it. No matter how powerful the Mechanical Monarch was, he couldn't possibly surpass them, these predecessors, in magical knowledge.

Set's main body, upon seeing this scene, immediately told God Andrew about this matter. God Andrew smiled with his consciousness: “Don't worry, you can research and modify it however you want.

“Mechanical Monarch, your attainment in the Path of Curses is indeed high, but in terms of magic circles, we won't lose to you.”

Set reminded him. God Andrew said, “Who told you that it's a simple magic circle? That's a technological magic circle, with both technology and magic. No matter who arranges the magic circle, the overall control will be in my hands.

As for modifications? Heh heh, modify it as you please. Only if I want those modifications to take effect will those modifications take effect.”

“Technological magic circle? Mechanical Monarch, you're playing it fancy.”

Set was very surprised. Then, he thought of something and asked, “Eh, wait a minute, Immortus Kang seems to be proficient in both technology and magic. Will he be able to see something?”

“No, his technological level is sufficient, but his magical level is not. If he had your magical level, he might really be able to see something, but unfortunately, he doesn't.”

God Andrew said, “In short, don't worry, this magic circle was originally the bait I gave you.”

“Mechanical Monarch, you're still insidious.”

Set no longer asked more questions. Speaking of which, being an undercover agent is really good; you don't have to worry about losing, you can watch the show with peace of mind, and by the way, watch Chthon make a fool of himself. Heh, this guy is going to walk the old path of the Lord of Order.

In Hell, seeing that Chthon and the others were so confident, the demon and Immortus Kang no longer asked more questions. Immortus Kang said, “Then let's start constructing the magic circle; the sooner it's completed, the better.

We must race against time with the Mechanical Monarch and the King of Abilities and never let them complete their plan faster.”

“As long as you give me the resources, I'll start arranging it immediately.”

Chthon said, “The magic circle will be arranged in Hell. At the same time, I will construct a secondary magic circle below the film festival, connected to the main magic circle, so that those anchor points can play a role.”
