Marvel's Superman Chapter 255

"Human beings, you're unappreciative."
Chthon flew into a rage. This was the first time he was rejected like this.
In the long and endless years, ignorant human beings who yearned for strength and power bowed and worshipped him.
The words 'Great', 'Omnipotent' and 'Eternal', which symbolize power, always accompanied his name.
Every fallen master was chasing the Book of Chthon, the God of Chaos. Occasionally, he let some little scraps fall from his fingers, and those people saved it carefully as if they had found precious treasures.
Those ridiculous people were even willing to kill each other in order to compete for 'magical knowledge', exposing the darkest and cold side of human nature.
This was a good way for Chthon to pass the time on boring days.
A good enough 'show' could often give him a lingering aftertaste.
But now, this very young human in Chthon eyes, who had already started counting the years by millennia and thousands of years; this excessively young, Allfather-level, 20 something-year-old human that can only be regarded as a blink of an eye at best.
Turned him down!
This raised Chthon's monstrous anger with a trace of doubt.
Did the other party not know what Chaos Magic was?
It wasn't a popular product like black magic, but an ancient power coveted by dimensional demons!
"Human, you have to think clearly."
The dark face, made of magical flames, stared straight at Luke as if to see through his heart.
"Being the spokesperson of chaos, you can gain even greater power."
"No longer limited to Allfather, but to climb to a higher level!"
"I can see that you are a man who pursues strength and thirsts for power."
"So, are you sure you want to refuse this gift?"
Luke was still expressionless and unmoved.
Dimension demons were never philanthropists. They were more like hunters or fishermen.
Setting traps and catching prey.
Or cast a big net and catch delicious souls.
Chthon used the Book of Darkhold to cheat fools blinded by power.
Those fallen masters who flourished for a while, after decades of becoming legends, their souls would basically become corrupted and fall into chaos.

As an old rival, Set, the snake god, especially casted down his Serpent Crown.
As long as someone puts it on, they would be able to comprehend boundless wisdom and have unlimited power.
The price was to become a tool of the Serpent God, Set, and work for the other party obediently.
Once things went wrong, they would become petrified statues.
Even the most free-spirited and spontaneous Cyttorak.
If someone used his Crimson Gem, they would also face the risk of being brainwashed and put on a halo of diminishing wisdom.
Until the end, they would experience an unnatural death.
"Everything has its price."
Luke was well aware of these dimensional demons' true nature.
They gave their strength, not because they want to accumulate virtues and do good deeds, but recruit people and gather pawns.
Then, from many pawns, choose a front-line fighter to invade the main universe.
Kaecilius, the future disciple of the Ancient One, was deceived and became Dormammu's leading pawn.
Later, the invasion from the Dark Dimension failed, and the hapless Kaecilius was eaten and wiped clean, leaving nothing from body to soul.
"You only mentioned what I could get but never said anything about what I would have to pay."
Luke lifted his hand and pulled out a parchment contract. The words on it glowed red, seemingly containing peculiar power.
"In the human world, this kind of behavior is usually the beginning of a scam."
"Is there anything good in the multi-dimensional world that could be achieved without any effort?"
Chthon suddenly fell silent.
He generally proceeded to the last stage, when the power was to be given.
Most people were ecstatic, and few people would be cautious.
But in the end, they all surrendered to him.
'A mere Allfather-level can resist my spiritual influence?'
Chthon thought it was weird.
"See you next time, Chthon."
Luke waved his hand and said goodbye.
"At that time, maybe I could introduce to you a suitable protégé."
That parchment contract was instantly burned to ashes with Heat Vision.
The words imprinted on twisted like living creatures.

As if the attached force was excited, a crimson beam of light shot out.
"Cyttorak the Destroyer!"
Chthon was furious when he saw this scene.
The violent and messy mental impact blasted into Luke's consciousness.
The latter wasn't afraid, silently chanting long spells.
That was a temporary contract.
It could summon Cyttorak.
As one of the dimension demons, he was the most free-spirited and the most eccentric.
Cyttorak's method of invading the main universe was very simple- to randomly drop a 'Crimson Gem' in every timeline and every world.
He had always been too lazy to engage in intrigue, and the trading terms were always very direct:
Use my strength, and assume my shape.
The more they asked for from the Crimson Gem, the deeper they would be assimilated.
In the end, completely becoming a puppet of power.
Dedicating both hands to the Lord of Oblivion of the universe in which they live.
It sounded terrible, but because Cyttorak was a free spirit, he almost never came to collect debts.
Therefore, as long as people didn't touch his gem, there was almost no problem.
For example, the master of Kamar Taj was very fond of borrowing the power of this big man.
For example, 'The Crimson Bands of Cyttorak' was a common spell used by high-ranking masters.
"You would rather rely on the boring guy Cyttorak than be the mouthpiece of Chaos Magic?"
Chthon saw Luke take out the parchment contract and somehow had the feeling of being cuckold.
In terms of power, he didn't lose to the Lord of Oblivion.
On the degree of gift, he would gift package Chaos Magic when they needed it.
Other people would be grateful and willing to give their lives and souls.
But for some reason, Luke chose Cyttorak in the end!
Wasn't this bullying the honest people?
"Nonsense, with so many dimensional demons, only Cyttorak gives people a temporary contract and doesn't force the caster to pay."
Luke gave Chthon a contemptuous look. He had no idea what was going on in his mind.
Raising his hand, countless clones waved the scarlet chains and tied the head of the billowing demon flame into a dumpling.
Compared with the previous use of white magic and defensive spells, Luke fully utilized the advantages of the Superdemon card.
A steady stream of power was absorbed into the body.
Like the infinitely expanding sun, a terrible aura erupted.
"This is the power of the Crimson Universe?"
Luke only felt that his body was filled with copious power, and the crimson light was enveloping his entire body.
'Still want to assimilate the soul?'
The crimson light covered his whole body like running water. The only thing that wasn't contaminated was his head.
Superdemon was immune to mind control, so it rejected the aura entering his mind, which could turn people into fools.
"See you later, Chthon, the great god of the underworld."
Luke clenched his fingers and threw a fist.
The crimson light bursts out like a roaring wave.
The night sky in Washington, D.C., suddenly turned red.
The dense light invaded the clouds, the stars, and the moon.
Crack! Crack!
Space was like a fragile mirror, shattering and breaking.
He was abruptly struck with a terrible iron fist before Chthon could break free of the scarlet chains.
And still, the pure physical attack became magic penetration + physical blows, and the damage was an instantly full bar!
"Human ..."
Chthon's head was blasted back to the Chaos Dimension without being able to say the classic villain line, 'I will come back!'.
The ever-expanding spatial rift closed in an instant.
"I'm glad I can do magic and have resistance. Otherwise, dealing with Chthon would be troublesome. "
Luke shook off the influence of the crimson light on his soul, and after sending Chthon away happily, he hit the ground with a 'thud'.
He didn't learn from Iron Man and did a classic superhero landing, which was too much for his knee.
"Is there anything else?"
Luke's eyes were slightly coagulated and ready to use a Heat Vision to get the three kills instantly.

Of Righteous Evil
To wield the magical Arts. The power to manipulate nature itself. Follow Silas on his journey as he learns what it means to be a Mage. With war brewing on the horizon, Silas' plan to become a hero clashes with the harsh reality of conflict. Torn between contradicting emotions, he will have to reconsider his perceptions of both good and evil. Does the end truly never justify the means? Note from author (13.09.20): Sentences have been shortened, less commata used. Paragraphs have been split up. Meant to be "realistic" fantasy, with no overpowered protagonist or evil sorcerer trying to destroy the world. The focus lies on the characters, their progressions and their inner conflicts, coupled with an intricate magic system. Constructive criticism is highly appreciated! HIATUS Updates: 12.12.20 Chapter 1 & 2 are written together. The backstory of the parents will be integrated into one of the later chapters. 20.12.20 Prologue has been rewritten, fight added. Will now continue writing the chapters until the first arch is finished. 19.01.21 Chapter 15 is written. Will hopefully be able to write more from now on, university has been kinda rough these days. 08.04.21 Chapter 16 & 17 has been written. Beginning will be rewritten (again) to start with chapter 3. Chapter 1 & 2 will be shown through reocurring dreams / nightmares. 10.08.21 Rewriting of the first arc is complete and has been proofread twice. Plot of rest of book one is 80% complete. Will publish chapters once first book is finished and proofread. 06.12.21 Second arc is finished (chapter 24/31-33). First draft will likely be finished around February, after which I will edit a few suggestions of my beta readers and publish it on RR. Release schedule: Once a week on Sunday, chapters are around 3000 words long. (HIATUS, see last chapter for more info) Cover art by Riverman09
