Chapter 552 You’ve Been Tricked

“This crystal has done a lot of harm to people.”

She said: "People's hearts are full of desires. Without extreme external temptations and oppression, most people can restrain their desires and abide by moral and legal rules in a relatively peaceful social environment."

"But faced with the huge temptation of getting everything just by moving your mouth, most people can't control themselves. Even I was tempted just now."

Jiang Shan nodded: "The development process of human beings is a process of restraining self-desires and gaining freedom in the process of restraint."

He smiled and said, "There is a saying by the sages, 'Follow your heart's desire without going beyond the rules', which is probably the truth."

"Dimensional demons and hellish demons are the best at taking advantage of loopholes. They know the shortcomings of humans and use their desires to tempt them to fall."

Diana shrugged. "That's the purpose of Kamar-Taj and the Sorcerer Supreme."

Jiang Shan laughed out loud.

"You don't have to say it in such a noble way," he said. "For me, everything I do is because the Earth is my home."

Then he asked, "You said there was something important. Didn't you plan to suppress it before Typhon broke the seal? Did you encounter any difficulties?"

Diana's expression became serious: "Yes."

Said: "I didn't even get close to the Seal of Typhon before I fled in a hurry. There is no need to hide this."

She said seriously: "Mephisto!"

She said, "The Lord of Hell is involved!"

"He stopped me and I had to back out."

When Jiang Shan heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Diana, and said, "You weren't deceived by Mephisto, were you?"

Diana frowned: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Shan said: "I just beat up Mephisto not long ago. I found his hell dimension and fought him in his lair. He couldn't beat me, so he used his power to attract a group of dimensional demons to stop me. He tore half of the hell dimension and ran away."

Diana's eyes suddenly widened.

Jiang Shan nodded. "He suffered a great loss at my hands, how dare he show up in front of me? His real body doesn't dare to come to Earth, let alone face me. The Mephisto you saw is at most a vest. As far as I know, Mephisto is in a secret US military research base nearby. It is very likely that he has a vest. The one you met is most likely this one."

He laughed, "You were fooled by that guy. He was a disguise, so he probably couldn't beat you. But you thought he was real and you were scared by him."

Diana was stunned, a blush appeared on her face, her breathing became heavier, and she said, "I was deceived by him?!"

Jiang Shan smiled and said, "Obviously."

Said: "When the Ancient One was the Sorcerer Supreme, he did not dare to face him in his true form; he was a lord of hell who was good at scheming and scheming."

"Today, the defense of the mysterious side of the Earth is even stronger. The Kamar-Taj formation is more than one level stronger than the Ancient One. His true body can't come to Earth at all. If he dares to get close, I will find him. I wish he would run in front of me so that I can kill him."

"This is just the vest he left on Earth."

After hearing this, Diana was furious: "I was deceived by him!"

She stamped her feet and the earth shook.

Jiang Shan smiled and said, "It may not be a bad thing for you if he scares you away. Mephisto is full of tricks, and with Typhon by his side, your plan will basically not succeed with the combined efforts of the two."

Diana asked, "What about you? Your Excellency the Supreme Sorcerer! You watched Mephisto carry out his schemes and did nothing?"

Jiang Shan smiled and waved his hand: "It's not that I'm indifferent, but I'm confident."

Diana took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling. “You’re a bastard too!”

Jiang Shan laughed: "My woman scolds me like this."

Diana snorted and said disdainfully: "Although I am not opposed to a man having multiple partners - because the level of chaos in Olympus is far beyond this level; but I'm sorry, I'm not interested in you for the time being!"

Said: "Mephisto is good at conspiracy and intrigue, you better be careful not to get out of hand!"

After a pause, she held out her hand: "I want a way to contact you at any time."

Jiang Shan smiled, took out a watch, told her how to use it, put it on her, and joked, "Everyone of my people has a watch like this."

Diana sneered: "It's just a temporary contact method."

Then he said, "I will keep a close eye on that cloudy area. If anything happens, I will inform you immediately. Although you may know it no later than me, you should be prepared for any eventuality."

After saying that, the agile female warrior leaped forward, divine light surging around her body, creating a golden rainbow in the sky, and then suddenly disappeared from Jiang Shan's sight.

Ten minutes later, Natasha rushed over from Nublar Island.

"The US military's secret research base is destroyed."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

She handed Jiang Shan a glass of water, then sat next to him and said carefully, "Just as you expected, Mephisto's conspiracy broke out, and the American researchers in the base were massacred."

Said: "I am afraid that the final moment of this incident is about to come."

Jiang Shan nodded slightly: "Just one or two hours."

He said: "The seal of Typhon is about to break. When it comes out, it will be the moment when the conspiracy in the secret research base of the US military finally breaks out."

Natasha frowned: "All the abominations gave birth to demonic aliens, and the base was massacred. Is this not considered a conspiracy?"

"It's not strong enough." Jiang Shan said, "How can Mephisto be so simple?"

"Its conspiracy is no less intense than the one that broke the seal when Typhon did."

Natasha's mind turned, and a hint of realization appeared on her delicate face: "The Megalith Project?"

Jiang Shan nodded.

Natasha let out a sigh of relief. "Their Monolith Project has made a breakthrough. They have even sent a cyborg to the planet LV-233."

"So, the main conspiracy is not here, but on Planet LV-233?"

Jiang Shan said: "Eighty percent possible."

He smiled and said, "Wait a little longer, let me see what Mephisto can do."

After a pause, he said, "Kevin must be kept a close eye on. Once Mephisto's vest has finished his work here, he will most likely come close to Kevin."

Kevin is the blood descendant of Mephisto. Jiang Shan had extracted his demonic blood earlier and implanted that blood into a biological nano body that was exactly the same as Kevin.

It's just a bait, trying to catch the true body of Mephisto.

In fact, Jiang Shan felt that the probability of using Kevin to catch the true body of Mephisto was not high; but it would hurt to give it a try.

If he really can't catch him, he will have to use the Disk of Ten Thousand Curses to curse Mephisto based on his blood relationship; but the Disk of Ten Thousand Curses might not be able to kill Mephisto - this is also the reason why Jiang Shan didn't cast a curse on Mephisto at the beginning.
