After knowing that Ghost Rider now became their ally, everyone felt slightly confused, except for Dio. They were confused about who the real enemy was now. Furthermore, they became confused after seeing the angel that appeared to help the demon. Everyone began to wonder why the angel helped the demon. Weren’t angels and demons supposed to be archenemies?
They were confused by what just happened. Nevertheless, they knew that they had to do their best to protect the earth right now, especially as Hell’s red sand began to spread in all directions. The intense sulfuric smell wafted through the air, and temperature also rose as Hell was slowly taking over.
In the centre of it all, Hellfire began to boil the ground, spitting magma out of the red sand. Suddenly a huge black door appeared, slowly materialising out of nowhere.
“It’s the gate of Serpent! It has to remain closed, no matter what happens!” Robbie shouted as he saw the huge serpent symbol carved on the door! He rushed forward and threw his chain to prevent the door from opening.
But Robbie was immediately met with resistance as something on the other side of the door began to slam the door to pry open the door! And whatever it was that struggle to come out of the door was making quite a struggle as Robbie’s chain began to creak.
“Is this door impenetrable, or is it not?” Stephen asked worriedly. He saw that Robbie’s chain was having a hard time preventing the door from opening, but he was worried that the door would yield and break apart from the intense power on the other side.
“No, the Serpent Gate is a multi-dimensional door that couldn’t be destroyed. But it will automatically disappear if it weren’t opened for some time.” Robbie said solemnly.
“Define how long is this sometime?” Stephen asked worriedly.
“It’s supposed to disappear after 5 minutes if it weren’t opened! This door can’t materialise outside of Hell, so even though Hell is already encroaching this land, it was still not the real Hell! The door wouldn’t be able to manifest longer than that!” Robbie said as he recalled his knowledge of Hell.
“Now, everyone, get back and out of this Hell sand!” Dio said as he thought about the situation on hand for a moment. He wanted to find out whether there was something he could do to stop Hell from assimilating further into the earth. With his prestige, everyone nodded except for Ghost Rider, that was still trying to keep the door closed and began to leave the Red Sand.
Dio immediately summoned his two ice Stands. “I am going to freeze everything in this land. Can your flame hold up?” Dio asked curiously.
“Just do it! I won’t be able to keep the door closed for much longer!” Robbie said without hesitation.
Dio nodded and placed his hand on the red hot sand of Hell. At the same time, he pumped a large amount of Hamon Energy into the two ice Stands, [Horus] and [White Album]! Immediately, freezing air close to absolute zero began to condense around Dio. “Ice Age!” Dio shouted, and immediately the freezing air swept the entire area, turning the Red Sand into blue crystalized sand! Even Robbie and the door were frozen solid in a flash!
Apparently, the problem was solved as there was no way the door could be opened at its state now. The Hell Sand that was spreading around the land has stopped too. Now, the red land has turned into a land of ice!
Dio looked at Robbie to check on him just in time to see Robbie’s body began to flare up, liberating him from the frozen state he was in. Robbie immediately glanced at Dio as he didn’t know Dio could do something like this, but before he had the time to be relieved, a booming sound was heard from the door.
Robbie looked at the door again, but it was already too late! His chain immediately broke apart, and the Serpent Door was pried open! “Your naivety disgusts me!” a tall figure said as he stepped out of the door. A hot air immediately swept the entire land, melting the ice that Dio had made in a blink of an eye. The figure left a scorched mark on the ground as he walked, spreading the Red Sand of Hell back into action.
“Mephisto!” Robbie said with a sullen face.
Dio squinted his eyes to get a good look at the infamous Hell Lord and to estimate his opponent’s strength. But no matter how he looked at it, he knew that he would have a tough time dealing with Mephisto.
“Robbie, when will you destroy the other two sanctuaries? I promise that I will share my glory with you!” Mephisto said with a smirk on his face.
“Don’t expect me to believe anything you said anymore! Although I suspect something was amiss when I signed that contract, I have no idea that you were trying to get your ass in here! Now, go back to Hell, or I will kill you with my own hands! I know that I haven’t signed anything that states that I can’t harm you!” Robbie said coldly. He wouldn’t be fooled again. That was the first thought that crossed Robbie’s mind as soon as he saw Mephisto.
“What a shame! You are always such a waste of space! Did you ever think that you could defeat me with the power that I gave? How naïve of you! Charge forward my Demon Army! Let us conquer the earth once again!” Mephisto shouted coldly, and immediately, countless demons with all colours and appearance rushed out of the gate, swarming the land and wreaked havoc!
Mephisto smirked and laughed hard as he thought his time as the conqueror and ruler of the earth has come. He never expected Robbie to complete his contract from the beginning as it was only a scam. But he knew that Robbie would at the very least destroy one sanctuary before giving up!
Mephisto felt invincible at the moment as he thought of his time opposing the Ancient One in the past!
“Now, let the game begin!” Mephisto said with a maniacal laugh, shuddering anyone that heard it!
