Pietro couldn't help himself and asked, "Boss Leon, was that really the devil who rules Hell?"
Leon nodded. "It's exactly who you're thinking of."
Pietro scratched his head in confusion. "He didn't seem all that strong." In his mind, Mephisto—despite being powerful—didn't live up to the terrifying reputation he'd imagined. Sure, he was stronger than Pietro, Sumarokov, and Wanda combined, but nothing like the legendary devil he expected.
Leon chuckled and knocked Pietro on the head gently. "That was just a projection of his soul. Not even 1% of his real power. And don't underestimate anyone who uses magic."
Pietro, Sumarokov, and Wanda were some of the most formidable beings on Earth, especially Pietro, who could move several times the speed of sound. His abilities were so overwhelming that almost no one on Earth could rival him, except for maybe psychics like Professor X. Even Magneto had to be careful around Pietro's speed and strength.
Pietro was no ordinary speedster—he had two forms of Haki, mastery over breathing techniques, and had been injected with Sky Blade's Super Soldier Serum. This made him an incredibly enhanced version of Quicksilver. His physical durability and high-speed movement were unparalleled, and several times the speed of sound wasn't even his limit. As time passed, Leon knew Pietro's speed would keep increasing, potentially reaching the speed of light.
But even with all his strength, Pietro knew magic was a tricky thing. "On the magic side," Leon explained, "strength can be deceptive. You can be the strongest warrior, but one well-placed spell could end you. Never underestimate a skilled mage."
