Chapter 021: War of Attrition

The two women appeared one after the other beside Mephisto. Hela raised her hand and released a powerful shockwave that struck Mephisto's chest.

As Mephisto was about to dodge, Lady Gremory behind him raised her hand and pressed down.

Boom!

Invisible gravity descended from the sky, the air turned as heavy as steel, and the ground instantly collapsed under the pressure, cracks radiating in all directions. Mephisto, bearing the brunt of it, felt every cell of his body under unbearable weight, unable to evade Hela's attack.

In an instant, the shockwave, capable of piercing asteroids and splitting seas, struck Mephisto's chest perfectly. With two gods of the same rank attacking, even Mephisto, the Lord of Hell, suffered a great loss.

His chest was pierced through, the blood from the wound completely vaporized, leaving only a hole in his chest.

But Mephisto did not die from this. For a powerhouse of his level, even if reduced to a single cell, he could regenerate.

Mephisto roared in fury, releasing immense magical power. A terrifying ring-shaped shockwave radiated outward from him, shattering the air and pulverizing the earth, leaving devastation in its wake.

Hela and Lady Gremory, unable to avoid it, were both blasted away by the shockwave.

At the same time, Wang Bo saw Mephisto's wound heal at a visible speed; in less than a breath, the hole was filled with flesh.

Whoosh!

Just then, a massive greatsword shattered the shockwave, flying like a bolt of lightning, piercing Mephisto's chest.

Mephisto's wound had just healed when a greatsword pierced through his chest.

He let out an earth-shattering wail, but this injury did not diminish Mephisto's aura; instead, it made him even more狂暴.

“All of you, die!”

His hands released brilliant light, and shockwave after shockwave blasted toward Hela.

Hela steadied herself, then released swords one after another, shattering the shockwaves. At the same time, she leaped hundreds of meters into the air and swung her arm.

Swords a hundred meters long, taller than Mephisto himself, fell from the sky, slashing toward Mephisto.

Mephisto roared repeatedly, unleashing vast amounts of hellfire. The blazing flames burned through the sky, and the temperature in the air rose to a horrifying degree.

Most substances in the world would turn to ash under such heat.

The swords Hela released melted into liquid upon contact with the flames, turning into a rain of fire falling from the sky.

This rain of fire fell on Mephisto without even scorching his skin.

Then, Mephisto abandoned his previous caution and attacked aggressively, unleashing his magic in overwhelming waves, engaging in a fierce battle with Hela and Lady Gremory.

Wang Bo's current strength was not enough to join such an intense battle, but his Stand could. He directed his Stand to withstand most of Mephisto's physical attacks.

A human, a goddess, a Lord of Hell, and a demon lord were locked in a chaotic melee.

The entire underworld was shaken. The sky trembled, the earth groaned, the atmosphere quaked, and space itself was distorted. Terrifying shockwaves surged wave after wave, seemingly unending.

Cracks spread across the ground, extending in all directions to the edge of sight.

Undoubtedly, this was an earth-shattering battle.

This was the highest-level battle Wang Bo had ever participated in. The battle in Middle-earth where Ilúvatar intervened didn't count; that was hardly a battle.

It was entirely a one-sided slaughter by Ilúvatar.

Moreover, Wang Bo hadn't even participated in that slaughter; he merely stood by and watched.

This battle was the one Wang Bo actively participated in, the highest level and most widespread. No other battle could compare.

To be honest, the combat power Mephisto displayed in this battle truly exceeded Wang Bo's imagination.

Wang Bo had originally thought that with himself, Hela, and Lady Gremory, they could finish the battle swiftly, since neither Hela nor Lady Gremory was inferior to Mephisto.

Moreover, Wang Bo's Stand was also very powerful.

With the three of them joining forces, dealing with Mephisto should be easy, even on his home turf. They could end the battle quickly.

However, the actual situation far exceeded Wang Bo's expectations. Mephisto's magic seemed inexhaustible, unleashing powerful moves without any concern for consumption.

Because of this, he managed to withstand the combined assault of Wang Bo's trio.

An hour passed, two hours passed, and the battle continued.

The battle between Mephisto and them swept through Hell, countless demons were caught up and perished screaming, and numerous evil spirits died.

But Mephisto remained standing.

Wang Bo knew clearly that if this continued, once the three of them showed signs of fatigue, the battle would turn in Mephisto's favor, and they would have to flee in disgrace.

Wang Bo didn't want that. He directed his Stand to block Mephisto's fist and sent a telepathic message to Hela and Lady Gremory.

“Help me trap him, just a few seconds.”

Lady Gremory and Hela exchanged glances and nodded.

Lady Gremory raised her hand, releasing powerful magic that formed pitch-black spheres in the sky.

These spheres spun in the sky, seemingly capable of swallowing even light. They were not black holes but gravity spheres formed by compressing gravity.

Lady Gremory directed the gravity spheres toward Mephisto. As Mephisto was about to counterattack, Hela seized the opportunity to charge forward and intercept him.

With Hela holding Mephisto at bay, countless gravity spheres struck him one after another.

Each sphere was as heavy as a great mountain. Even with Mephisto's immense strength, being hit by these spheres bent his back, and he stumbled, blasted away.

Wang Bo's eyes flickered. Seeing this golden opportunity, he was unwilling to let it slip. He raised two fingers and shouted.

“Seal!”

In an instant, a cubic barrier enveloped Mephisto, who was ten thousand meters away.

After using the barrier technique to trap Mephisto, Wang Bo dared not be careless and quickly erected dozens of layers of barriers.

“Seal, seal, seal, seal, seal…”
