Chapter 175: Demons And Ian, Madness Escalates!
Mephisto’s hand had only reached halfway.
His fingertips were about to touch Ian’s skin.
However, Ian suddenly opened his mouth for a sneak attack—after all, even Old Man Clark had to say many, many nice things to disorient Ian before putting his hand near Ian’s mouth.
It was unknown where this stranger, Mephisto, met by chance, got such courage.
“Crunch, crunch.”
A crisp sound, like bones breaking, suddenly rang out! Ian moved! He didn’t dodge, he didn’t block, but with a beast-like, unprovoked ferocity, he suddenly opened his mouth and bit down on Mephisto’s outstretched finger like a high-speed hydraulic clamp!
When there’s enough moisture, it will burst with juice.
Mephisto’s finger instantly broke.
“Snap!”
This was definitely an unexpected development for Mephisto, and his fingertip sent a sharp pain. He widened his eyes, watching as three of his fingers disappeared into Ian’s mouth.
The teeth of the King of the Teeth, personally tested by God, were indeed capable of handling tough meals. Ian chewed with relish, the flesh and blood of the demon bursting with sulfurous juice between his teeth.
Mephisto’s nutritional value far exceeded expectations—his body, originally a bit shriveled and looking like a spirited youth due to God’s schemes, rapidly became full like it was being inflated. Ian’s skin also regained its luster, his large, beautiful eyes sparkled, and his not overly exaggerated but well-defined muscles bulged anew.

Mephisto’s three fingers not only supplemented Ian’s magic power and energy but also brought a massive amount of experience points and even a long-absent increase in World Recognition.
Ian had always wanted to understand what kind of NPC was above a Key NPC, and now to see World Recognition increase again was truly a double happiness for Ian.
“Oh~~ this wonderful nutritional value!”
Ian couldn’t help but exclaim. If three fingers were like this, wouldn’t eating all of Mephisto be a great way to maintain world peace while also gaining a large sum of experience?
It was more than a win-win! A super win-win!
In Ian’s eyes, Mephisto was no longer the shape of a demon, but some kind of super experience pack. His eyes lit up, and he declared that such a great supplement was nothing more than this!
“I admit you’re my fan! Come and be completely devoured by me! As a qualified idol, I must devour my fans completely! Come into Master Ian’s mouth!”
Ian might not dare provoke the God family leader, but he was someone who could even punch Lucifer hard enough to draw divine blood and ink. Naturally, he wouldn’t have any human filters for the King of Hell in the Marvel Universe.
To be honest.
Mephisto was truly great.
For a fan meeting, he even gave a gift, and upon meeting, he gifted himself. Ian was truly moved to tears and decided that from now on, no one would be allowed to call Mephisto a bad guy!
Charging forward.
Ian once again used the 【 Assimilation Method 】, pretending to have rabies. His mouth opened and closed five times per second, and he tore off Mephisto’s entire palm.
“No!! How dare you! How dare you!” Mephisto violently pulled back his mangled limb. He looked down at his hand, bitten off at the wrist. The gushing from the wound was not blood, but a dense, ink-like demonic black blood exuding the scent of sulfur and hellfire—this was a direct bite to his very essence!
The King of Hell was greatly alarmed, not understanding that with the Kent family having a Superman whose eyes and ears were idealistic, it wasn’t something to be greatly surprised about for Ian to also be idealistic with his mouth.
“I will kill you!!!”
His voice was a mix of shock and rage.
At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and thunder roared! The old demon’s face completely distorted, his human skin melting like wax, revealing his true form covered in crimson scales.
Burning horns, blood-red vertical pupils, and a gaping maw—wasn’t this also a way to reduce Ian’s guilt? Ian had known he was chewing on a demon from the start.
“You dare to desecrate the King of Hell!” he roared, the space behind him tearing open, and a projection of the Hell Dimension descended into the Human World—countless wailing lost souls drifted within.
It was a boundless purgatory, churning with lava and flesh.
Suffering souls screamed, mountains collapsed, and seas of blood roared, transforming into monstrous waves that, like a breached heavenly river, poured down fiercely onto the ground where Ian stood! This sea of blood contained a potent poison that corroded souls and a heat intense enough to incinerate all things, capable of instantly turning a city into nothingness!
“Ahhhhhh~” Facing this apocalyptic scene that could destroy a city, Ian, far from being afraid, opened his mouth like a doctor and let out a long sound.
His Mimic Armor instantly covered his entire body.
It shimmered with a deep luster resembling flowing blood. The “true face” of the Lord Evil God was displayed by the Mimic Armor, with two eyeballs that appeared larger than many people’s palms.
Even 2D moe girls didn’t have eyes as large as the ones Ian mimicked; the main point was the uncanny valley effect. Not only that, but he then used his own hands to grab the corners of his mouth.
He pulled, and pulled, stretching like he was making ramen, Ian forcibly widened his mouth to a true “bloody maw” that surpassed human limits! That mouth was so large it could fit a truck, and the depths of his oral cavity were dark, as if connected to a bottomless abyss.
The original human mouth expanded into a true bloody maw.
A throat like an abyss generated a terrifying suction force.
The monstrous waves of blood, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, were all swallowed by that gaping maw! There was no explosion, no resistance; the sea of blood felt like a docile stream being “drunk” down bite by bite by Ian.
“Gulp!”
The last blood wave disappeared into that bottomless maw.
The previously surging sea of blood was completely gone.
Ian patted his stomach contentedly. His mouth returned to its normal size, but his complexion was as rosy as a baby’s, with a faint glow of magic circulating beneath his skin. He exuded a lazy satisfaction as if he had eaten his fill. This was true contentment; his face was as ruddy and healthy as if he had eaten an immortal ginseng.

【 Strength: 649—666】
【 Constitution: 899—911】
【 Intelligence: 71.7—71.9】
【 Spirit: 377—398】
This was the true power of devouring a dimensional demon god’s dimension, bringing generous experience to the profession of 【 Entropy Annihilation Lord 】, but Ian had clearly passed the age of being easily satisfied.
“You’re too kind! Not only did you cut off flesh to feed me, but you also gave me a drink!” Ian created new British idioms daily. After letting out a sulfur-scented burp, he gave a thumbs-up to the shocked and enraged Mephisto.
“I declare! Even Buddha is not even a little bit kind or merciful compared to you; Buddha is inferior to you!” Ian’s strength and aura were continuously increasing. He licked his lips with lingering interest, his eyes gleaming with a longing for “gourmet food,” and pounced at the Mephisto frozen in mid-air.
This action made Mephisto’s face turn pale, and his spine shiver.
“What the hell are you! You’re not a superhero! Superheroes don’t look like you!” Mephisto was completely terrified. He was a returnee, not a resetter; he had lived for countless epochs and seen countless heroes and villains, but he had never seen such a bizarre situation as Ian’s!
Seeing Ian’s undisguised, hungry gaze and his incredibly barbaric charge towards him, Mephisto’s brain worked, and he had a flash of inspiration.
“Galactus…”
Lava-like sweat dripped from Mephisto’s forehead.
He was filled with doubt and secretly activated his authority, attempting to read Ian’s essence. However, the feedback was a void, as if he were peering into some unspeakable existence.
“How is this possible…”
Mephisto quickly dodged, unwilling to accept this situation. After all, for beings at his level, obtaining information about other beings of similar levels was not difficult.
In this universe, any being that reached the Skyfather level possessed similar privileges. With a single glance, they could “read” the information of other lives.
This was a special “reading” ability, and it was rarely possible for lower-level beings to evade the scrutiny of higher-level beings, much like how a low-level computer cannot defend against a high-level hacker—it was unsolvable.
Unless there was a higher-level “firewall” behind them providing protection—and this was also something Mephisto was unwilling to accept.
In Mephisto’s eyes, Ian was merely a superhero born by chance in a new world, a key that many hidden beings had found an opportunity to use to open the door to the world.
Why?
Why could the great King of Hell not read any information about him? The ability, similar to that of Galactus, had to make a clever person like Mephisto think further.
“The old Galactus couldn’t reach the new era, so the universe chose a new Galactus?” It was no wonder Mephisto had such an opinion.
His discernment was already quite keen, after all, the origin of the 【 Entropy Annihilation Lord 】 profession was Galactus. It was not strange that he could see similarities with Galactus.
It was in this moment of Mephisto’s distraction that Ian pounced before him!
“Spicy Rabbit Head, advanced version! Spicy Devil Head! My favorite!” Ian, like a giant gecko, stuck to Mephisto’s demonic body with all four limbs.
He was “hanging” on him.
His face, which had been rosy and content just moments ago, now opened again, revealing bone-white teeth. Accompanied by hands sprinkling chili powder and cumin, his mouth once again went straight for Mephisto’s monstrous head!
It could be seen that Ian had always been obedient to his mother, a child who was not a picky eater. Except for grilled devil brains, which he hadn’t tried, Ian felt that other things were edible.
In short, he couldn’t disappoint Mephisto’s enthusiasm.
“Get lost!”
Look, Mephisto’s voice was full of heat, his head smoking with anger. At the last moment, he abandoned all pretense and transformed into a wisp of black smoke.
The demon escaped rapidly through Ian’s fingers and instantly fled into the complex streets and alleys.
“Don’t run! Don’t worry! I won’t dislike you for not being a free-range chicken! I don’t care about the texture! Come back!” Ian missed his bite and became furious, his face turning red.
Before his words had finished.
His figure also turned into a streak of light, pursuing relentlessly. Mephisto’s smoke darted madly through the narrow streets, each turn carrying the chilling wind of hell.
“Don’t come over here!”
Wherever he passed, strange events unfolded!
Numerous tightly shut, seemingly ordinary house doors were knocked open from the inside! Demons of various forms, exuding a strong scent of sulfur and blood, crawled out from within!
Some had bat wings, some were covered in scales, some had three heads and six arms, some dragged long tails… They roared and howled, doing everything in their power to intercept the pursuing Ian.
Ian didn’t even look at these minions. His high-speed charging body was like an out-of-control armored vehicle; wherever he went, demons were sent flying, crushed, and exploded like bowling pins! Demon blood and internal organs splattered all over the street.
“Come any closer! I’ll chop you up and feed you to the dogs!” Ian felt his vision blocked, affecting his teleportation. His Mimic Armor transformed again, his arms becoming two giant dinner knives, and dozens of tentacle-like large blades extended from his back—Pinduoduo Ian had transformed into the protagonist of Prototype.
This appearance was indeed quite intimidating.
The demons’ charging posture froze instantly, and the ghouls at the front began to quietly retreat.
Ian paid them no mind.
Instead, he continued to focus on the drifting smoke.
These hellish minions were not as formidable as the minions in DC’s hell. Ian was afraid of damaging the throats of his trash cans and the engines of his small cars if he fed them to them.
At this moment.
In his eyes, there was only the wisp of evil villain Mephisto ahead, constantly changing direction, trying to hide within buildings, and even attempting to disguise himself as buildings to deceive his sight.
Searching everywhere, chasing, Ian muttered to himself.
【 Little Mephisto, be good, open the door~】
【 Master Ian is bringing you something delicious~】
【 What?】
【 No, no, you won’t open? Master Ian will bite off your head?】
Ian’s literary talent was truly astonishing, even in creating nursery rhymes, he excelled. His footsteps were light, as if he were walking to a cheerful rhythm as he searched.
“Little demon, be good~”
“Quickly open the door~”
The singing voice seemed to fill the entire world.
Mephisto fled madly.
His ruby crutch had long been discarded, his suit tattered.
The hell projection behind him was naturally also in tatters. His originally elegant and composed demonic demeanor was gone, and he was now as pathetic as a mouse cornered by a cat.
“Shut up! You monster!”
Mephisto’s scream echoed in the void, filled with unprecedented fear. His prideful authority, his power, seemed fragile and unable to withstand a single blow before this madman who only knew “eating.”
“Hellfire, light up~”
“Play with me to my heart’s content~”
That voice did not disappear.
Mephisto became more and more flustered.
The demon minions he summoned were torn to shreds like paper scraps before Ian, completely useless. Ian’s speed increased, and the nursery rhyme grew louder and closer.
It was as if the Grim Reaper’s lullaby was directly entering his soul.
“No, no, I absolutely won’t open!”
“Your tail is outside the door~”
Suddenly.
The singing voice became extremely close. Mephisto stiffly turned his head and found that outside a trash can, his demonic tail had been stepped on by Ian at some unknown point.
“Little demon, silly~”
“Waving crookedly~”
“Shake your sulfur wings~”
“Fall into my mouth~” Ian opened his bloody maw and, regardless of whether Mephisto was willing or not, he stuffed Mephisto into his mouth.
When dealing with non-humans.
Master Ian had always been ruthless, cold-blooded, stone-hearted, eradicating all traces, brutally un-demonic, and insane—yes, Ian knew he was very insane right now.
Therefore, it could be proven that he was not a madman.
“No—!”
Mephisto let out his final, heart-wrenching scream, but it was too late to turn back.
He wanted to transform into smoke again, but for the same move to be effective a second time before Master Ian would mean either he was stupid or Master Ian was stupid.
Master Ian, of course, would not choose to make himself stupid. Seeing Mephisto about to slip through his teeth, Ian immediately took a deep breath and sucked the smoke in like a whale swallowing.
“Who says Master Ian’s digestive organs can’t be his lungs? Do you understand what a new era evil god is!” Ian completely digested Mephisto’s existence.
The moment Mephisto was completely devoured.
Boom!
An indescribable, vast, star-sea-like torrent of experience points surged into Ian’s consciousness like the Big Bang! His “Hugging a Thigh” system flashed frantically.
The notification sounds almost blasted Ian’s eardrums.

It’s not just about dropping experience points!
Mephisto also brought Ian a great gift!
“Whoa! Dropping gold coins!”
Ian had only been this happy on his birthday. The patterns on his Mimic Armor wriggled joyfully. He felt the surging new strength within him from leveling up.
Fighting 3.5 Wonder Women should definitely be fine.
Listening to the System’s prompts.
Ian’s thoughts ran wild like a runaway husky.
“Wait… what I just ate was only a clone?” His eyes grew brighter. “Then if I capture Mephisto, can he be considered a sustainably regenerating ingredient?”
“This kind of great tonic, if I just capture Mephisto, it’ll be endless? Maybe I can even pair him with Sangong Mo and breed a superior strain!”
The more Ian thought about it, the more excited he became, bowing his head in admiration of his own intelligence. However, just as he was wiping his drool and preparing to check his skill details, the entire world suddenly cracked open like a shattered mirror.
“Crack!”
The illusion of the rainy night street peeled away, revealing the endless Void behind it.
Yes.
New Teacher Tony hadn’t miscalculated. Ian saw the completely wrecked spaceship. He was still in the Void, not having returned to Earth for any reason—turns out, the reason Mephisto couldn’t escape was because he had trapped himself and Ian. The “world” they were in just now was merely a lie woven by Mephisto.
Not far away.
Besides the severely damaged spaceship, a spear, destined to be wielded like a dragon, also floated quietly in the Void. It might be the perfect target for Ian to test his new skill on.
