Chapter 019: Arrow

This time, they were going to deal with the Lord of Hell, Mephisto. If their ally was too weak, the battle would undoubtedly become very difficult.

They even had to guard against the possibility of being held back.

However, Lady Gremory was satisfied with Hela's strength; at least she was definitely not someone who would hold them back.

And Hela herself was also very satisfied with Lady Gremory's strength. She felt that with the three of them joining forces, Mephisto was as good as dead this time.

"Let's go. Let's give Mephisto a surprise."

Wang Bo looked at his two allies and said confidently.

Lady Gremory asked in surprise, "You're going to fight too?"

"What's with that expression? Are you looking down on me?" Wang Bo felt that the information conveyed by Lady Gremory's surprised expression was far too much.

Lady Gremory was already very familiar with Wang Bo, so she didn't hide her disdain at all. "Although your current strength is decent, you won't be of much use in a battle of this level. You might even hold us back. So I suggest you stay calm, find a place with no one around to hide, and come out after the battle is over."

Wang Bo rubbed his temples and said unconvinced, "A scholar who has been away for three days must be looked at with new eyes. Have you heard that saying?"

"No," Lady Gremory said quite calmly. "For me, whether it's three days, three years, or three hundred years, there's not much difference."

Wang Bo: ...

"In any case, I won't hold you back," Wang Bo said.

Lady Gremory asked, "Where does your confidence come from? Show me a little."

Wang Bo smiled and said, "Then watch closely."

The next second, a man with an 'S' on his chest appeared ghost-like in front of Lady Gremory and punched her in the head.

Bang!

The air exploded in an instant, and the resulting airwaves spread out layer upon layer like a mountain avalanche or a tsunami. Lady Gremory flew backward at supersonic speed, tearing through the air, and crashed into a mountain peak with a thunderous roar, sending up endless dust that swept across thousands of meters of land.

But Wang Bo only blinked, and Lady Gremory, who had been sent flying, was already standing in front of him again.

She looked completely unruffled, without a single scratch.

As if the one who had been sent flying wasn't her but an illusion. Yet Wang Bo knew very well that Lady Gremory had indeed been knocked back, but she had returned in a thousandth of a second.

"How do you feel?" Wang Bo asked.

Lady Gremory looked at the man behind Wang Bo in surprise. "What is this?"

"Stand: Superman."

"Very fast," Lady Gremory praised. Even she hadn't reacted to that speed just now.

"Of course. My Stand's speed is the speed of light."

"The speed of light, huh. Good." Lady Gremory was surprised but not afraid. She admitted that the speed of light was a realm she couldn't enter, but that didn't mean she couldn't deal with an enemy with light speed.

With her current strength, she could easily rewrite the physical laws within the surrounding space, limiting speed to a realm she could reach. Even if an enemy had light speed, once they entered her vicinity, their speed would slow down.

Because the space around her did not allow the existence of light speed.

This was like how life must die, how an apple must fall due to gravity, how one plus one equals two.

It was the most basic rule.

And as one of the seventy-two pillars of Hell, Lady Gremory could easily rewrite such rules.

Wang Bo said, "So, do I now have the qualifications to join the battle?"

Lady Gremory asked, "Besides being very fast and very strong, does your Stand have any other abilities?"

"He can also release heat vision that can melt any substance on Earth, and super breath that can create storms, freeze volcanoes, and even change the weather."

Wang Bo casually mentioned two of Superman's abilities, then said, "But I always feel that my Stand is more than this. I haven't fully tapped into his true potential. His real ability will definitely surprise me, but right now, it's like I'm standing at the door of a treasure trove without the key. I have no idea how to unlock this Stand's true power."

Lady Gremory couldn't help asking, "Such an interesting ability—where did you get it?"

Wang Bo didn't hide it, since they were old friends. "I got an arrow. There's an alien virus on the arrow. Humans pierced by the arrow, if they can survive the virus's erosion, can awaken a Stand."

Hela's eyes involuntarily flickered a few times.

Undoubtedly, the Stand Superman had surprised even her, but she never imagined that such Stands could be mass-produced. It was truly incredible.

If she had such an arrow, couldn't she create a powerful Stand army?

Lady Gremory said, "Let me see that arrow."

Wang Bo said, "After this battle, I'll give you one."

With the Duplication Mirror, Wang Bo could have as many of these weapons as he wanted. Giving one to Lady Gremory was no problem.

"Fine," Lady Gremory said. "But I won't take advantage of you. If this arrow is truly valuable, I can give you a demon legion."

Wang Bo blinked, startled by Lady Gremory's generosity.

He remembered reading in the Key of Solomon that there were 1,111 demon legions in Hell, each composed of 6,666 demons or fallen angels.

These demons were not cannon fodder like the lower-class demons.

Those qualified to join a demon legion were basically mid-class demons and above. A squad leader was at least an upper-class demon, and the legion's leader was inevitably an elite among upper-class demons.

The kind that could single-handedly kill all the demons under Wang Bo's command.

"Forget it," Wang Bo shook his head. "I'm not interested in demons. Give me something else, like treasures from Hell."

"That works too," Lady Gremory nodded. As a demon god, she had her own treasury, which indeed contained many good things.

Each one, if placed in the human world, would be worth a fortune.

Just then, Wang Bo suddenly looked up and said, "He's here."

Lady Gremory and Hela both turned to look at the horizon. A demon with horns on its head, deep red skin, and standing several dozen meters tall descended from the sky like an avalanche, landing with a thunderous crash before Wang Bo and the others.

In an instant, the earth shook and the ground shattered.

"You dare invade my territory without permission—you all deserve to die!!!"
