Lucifer accepted Solomon’s Scepter from Scott's hand, a smirk playing on his lips.He spoke softly, "Through investigation, my people have discovered a very peculiar energy fluctuation on this island. Something beyond just a simple wildfire has occurred here. And there is something hidden within this island that the naked eye cannot see. Our task today is to investigate these two matters, hoping to harvest something useful."Scott nodded in understanding and then looked toward his subordinates, saying, "Let's go."Upon hearing this, Ayer and the others quickly followed him.Lucifer seemed somewhat surprised as he glanced at Scott. "Separate and act, huh?"Scott nodded in affirmation. "I've already identified the location of that significant landmark. Is there an issue with separating and acting?"Pausing for a moment, he squinted his eyes slightly, with a hint of depth in his tone. "Or do you truly feel we could be allies?"Lucifer shrugged and chuckled, showing no particular reactio

The entire space was sealed by pairs of bright red eyes. Scott lifted his hand, muttering incantations under his breath. The incantations immediately spread everywhere, followed by a sudden eruption of intense flames everywhere.The strange noises grew louder by the day as if snakes were endlessly hissing. They began to move chaotically with the intention of killing Scott. They darted through the flames and attacked Scott, mouths gaping wide, eager to bite into his flesh. But they couldn't even touch Scott because the fiery shield surrounding him reduced them to ashes.Scott paid no attention to them and continued forward, his figure showing no hint of panic. Meanwhile, Mason and Bratt found themselves trapped together. Like Scott, they were also surrounded by countless snakes.Bratt quickly dodged these snakes, and although they couldn't penetrate his body, their writhing presence was still repulsive. Interestingly, Mason stood nearby, seemingly unaffected, not a single snake

Scott was almost the epicenter of chaos, yet he remained unfazed, even a bit calm. With just a lift of his hand, fire erupted following the incantation he recited, beginning to crawl up the bodies of those attacking him. This fire spread from one person to another, and in no time, those nearing Scott were engulfed in flames. They screamed incessantly, clearly in considerable pain. But what was more notable was the other cultists who, despite witnessing this scene, seemed devoid of fear, relentlessly hurling themselves towards Scott. Scott's speed was relentless; he could dispatch these assailants with just his bare hands. The only issue, perhaps, was their overwhelming numbers; Scott had no trouble fighting them off, but he couldn't make his way into the heart of the Call God base at this moment.At this moment, raucous laughter suddenly rang out, and the frenzied cultists abruptly halted. However, their muscles remained tense, their eyes fixed on Scott, evidently ready to atta

The gigantic vines continued to grow relentlessly from beneath the ground, stretching endlessly, larger than the arms of a grown man. They twisted and turned as if alive, all directed towards Scott!Wherever they touched, the ground cracked, and rocks shattered as if they were clumps of flour, indicating their immense strength. However, Scott's expression remained unchanged. He stood his ground, swiftly gathering energy around him. Words enveloped him, and then winds began to rise from beneath his feet. The wind picked up speed rapidly and then suddenly exploded! The robust vines attacking Scott were torn into pieces by the powerful wind, spraying greenish slime all over. The wind was so strong that the woman behind couldn't react in time and was thrown backward, her body colliding with the wall. Her cloak was blown away, revealing her face. However, she seemed almost too weak to care at this point. She held her chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood, likely from the impact

Lucifer looked towards the dust cloud after the explosion, his deep eyes filled with contemplation."Nevertheless, they have been delayed a bit, and this time frame is enough for everything to fall into place," he said, as many figures dressed in black combat gear appeared, surrounding the area either on the hills or on the ground.There were close combat specialists as well as snipers among them. They raised their guns, all aiming towards the center of the explosion.At this moment, a transformation occurred. A sudden gust of wind arose, sweeping away all the dust and making the visibility clearer than ever before.Scott slowly lowered his hand, his cold eyes scanning over the people present before stopping at Lucifer, his voice light, "Oh, what are you doing here? I thought you weren't interested in competing for anything."Lucifer smiled lightly, his voice gentle, "That was when I was at the bottom of the pit. But now, I feel we should have a little chat."Scott rolled his eyes,
