Secret Wars II #7- Mephisto sits in his realm, with death standing by his side, watching the Beyonder. Mephisto says to Death that for him to protect her the Beyonder must die. Mephisto sits festering that compared to the Beyonder even he and Death are just subjects. Mephisto’s demons torture the souls trapped in his realm a little harsher and Mephisto is comforted by their suffering. Mephisto says that he was so relieved when Beyonder reconsidered and restored Death. Mephisto was afraid that his souls would be cut off. Mephisto says that to guarantee Death’s safety though he has to kill the Beyonder. Mephisto shows Death his Beyondersbane machine that he powered with the energy Beyonder used to destroy Death the first time. Mephisto says that when Beyonder reclaimed his power from Dr. Doom that he seemed weakened at first. Mephisto asks Death for advice. Death says that the death of a god is sweet. Mephisto asks if Death means the Beyonder’s death or his. Mephisto sends out Mr. Bitterhorn to cut deals with the Juggernaut, Electro, Baron Mordo, Absorbing Man, Titania, and on and on until he has contacted every super-villain in the world. Mephisto watches as each villain shakes hands with Bitterhorn and is imprinted with an invisible insignia that links them to the Beyondersbane machine. Beyonder says that if he fights any of his attackers it will complete a circuit with the machine that will create a feedback capable of killing the Beyonder. Mephisto says that the explosion will also destroy about a third of the universe including all his lackeys, but they don’t need to know that. Mephisto shows Death that all the great powers of the universe are so afraid of the Beyonder that they are assisting him in killing the Beyonder and a third of the universe. Mephisto reveals that Eternity himself is operating the Beyondersbane for him. Mephisto watches Beyonder, as the time to attack is about to arrive. Beyonder is going to move, and so Mephisto decides to create a diversion. Mephisto goes himself to recruit the Thing. Thing is tricked by Mephisto into agreeing and Mephisto grants him an immense power boost. Mephisto sends out his legions of lackeys, but when they get there the Thing (who was separately contacted by Mephisto to kill Beyonder) has second thoughts as starts to protect the Beyonder. Mephisto’s power boost to the Thing allows his to hold his own against all the villains. Mephisto realizes that his power is helping him. Mephisto tears up the contract-returning Thing to his regular power just as the Juggernaut arrives. Juggernaut pounds Thing, but Thing reaches from behind and trips Juggernaut. Suddenly all the villains start glowing as Mephisto’s Beyondersbane machine melts down. The villains all disappear. Death leaves Mephisto there in defeat.

Mephisto asks Ross why he fears him so much. Ross says that it might have something to do with him being the Devil. Mephisto says that he only looks like the Devil. Mephisto says that he is the master of a realm that consists only of himself and those that willingly follow him. Ross asks why Mephisto doesn’t just leave the realm. Mephisto says that he and his realm are one, and that the longer he remains out of his realm the weaker he gets. Ross asks why he goes after souls then. Mephisto explains that it is an obsession with him. Mephisto says that the purer and more noble the soul is the better. Ross says that he works in Washington, and Mephisto adds that is why he need not fear him. Mephisto calls Ross “Kenny”, and Ross thinks back to a time when his mother and the children that used to mock him called him Kenny. Suddenly Panther returns and Ross asks Panther if he wants him to call the Avengers. Panther asks why and runs up and punches Mephisto. Mephisto falls to the ground. Panther’s tech men realized that Mephisto drew his power from his realm and found a way to cut him off from it. Panther jumps onto Mephisto’s chest and tears his heart out. Panther tells Mephisto that he has one chance to tell him about Achebe or they will be keeping his heart, and his power will be forever diminished. Mephisto says that Panther already has the answers. Panther guesses that Achebe sold his soul to Mephisto, and in turn Mephisto gave him Wakanda. Mephisto says that Panther is half-right: Achebe is his servant, but that Panther is the one that gave him Wakanda. Mephisto says that all Panther has to do is wish it and Wakanda can be free. Panther says that in moments Mephisto will be “dead” and Wakanda will be free. Mephisto says that a lot can happen in moments. They teleport to Hell.

As young T’Challa stands over the dead body of his father his father opens his eyes. T’Challa realizes that he is really Mephisto. Mephisto says that he is offering T’Challa a serious bargain: six million souls for one. T’Challa say that he can have his soul. Mephisto puts his hands around T’Challa’s neck. Mephisto and Black Panther transform into their regular selves. Panther is laying out his terms and Mephisto fails to notice that he is being transported elsewhere. Mephisto asks what treachery is this. Panther says that Mephisto wants his soul, and that his spirit has been forever joined to the Panther God. T’Challa says that his soul is linked with that of all his ancestors. T’Challa says to take one of them they have to take them all. Mephisto feeds on a few of the souls and says that he is satiated. T’Challa says that Mephisto is satiated, but that “they” are not. Mephisto looks around to see endless Panthers. Mephisto says that he can’t handle that many souls and that he will be destroyed.
