Well, it's likely Mephiles is erased from existance. He can be brought back by some chronological lophole but it doesn't look like Sega has interest in establishing Mephiles as a reoccuring character.

Mephiles is my favourate non-Eggman Sonic villain for a number of reasons, such as his crystal form, his intelligence, his manipulation, the fact he's evil because it's his nature, he's as close as Sonic series will ever have to a demon. (Though Dark Gaia is perhaps an eldritch horror due to his age, apperance and power.) Mephiles is also capable of summoning purple Iblis minions and dark blasts, but other than that he specialises in illusions which means he is not all powerful.

Basically I can imagine Naugus with all the abilities Mephiles can have. But don't get me wrong, don't really want SegaSonic game version of Naugus to share same history as his comic counterpart. Which is why I suggest instead of Special Zone, he could come from Maginaryworld or Twilight Cage or simply have no reasonable origin like most of the characters in the game.
