Chapter 339 Escape

【Eye of Judgment】

It is the ability of the Ghost Rider to use the fire of hell to the extreme. He can see through the eyes of the Ghost Rider and make the target recall all the crimes he has committed before, making his soul feel everything he has done. The pain caused to innocent people, thereby achieving the effect of judgment and punishment.

Criminals with serious sins will be judged to death under the power of the Eye of Judgment, and their souls will go to hell to suffer pain. The lighter ones will have their souls burned. It can be said that this is one of the most powerful and terrifying abilities of the Ghost Rider.

"Ah~~~"

The moment he met Ghost Rider's burning eyes, Chang Emil couldn't help but let out a violent scream.

He could feel that under the power of the [Eye of Judgment], his soul was instantly enveloped in the scorching fire of hell, and all the evil deeds he had done in the past began to flash in his soul, including his control of the scarab bite not long ago. The arm of Ulysses Klaue and his revengeful attack on Wakanda.

Similarly, using the [Eye of Judgment] to see everything Chang Emil did, the Ghost Rider grew his skull mouth and uttered the final judgment: "I will judge you, go to hell and feel the pain."

After the Ghost Rider finished speaking, the hellfire in his eyes instantly erupted with dazzling light. In this light, Chang Emil felt his soul being violently pulled out from his body.

"Master High Priest!"

Instinctively, Chang Emir called out to the powerful being within the pyramid.

As Chang Emil called for help, a red light flashed above the [Scarab Seal] branded on the back of his hand.

Immediately afterwards, in the eyes of the Ghost Rider's burning skeleton, a huge dark scarab emerged from Chang Emil's soul, and at the same time a majestic roar sounded: "Bring your flames with you." Get out of your body, devil, his soul already belongs to me!"

boom--

The moment the voice fell, a powerful force burst out, directly knocking back the [Eye of Judgment] that the Ghost Rider had applied to Chang Emil's soul.

As the power that makes Immorton immortal for thousands of years, the power contained in the Black Book of the Dead is naturally powerful.

Its power to protect the soul is difficult to resist even with the Ghost Rider's [Eye of Judgment].

The failure of the [Eye of Judgment] obviously caught the Ghost Rider by surprise. In fact, this was the first time since he became the Ghost Rider that he had failed to use this ability to judge an opponent.

Shaking his head, the flames on the skull wrapped in hellfire dimmed again. Barely adapting to the situation after the [Eye of Judgment] failed to activate, the Ghost Rider once again pulled the chain in his hand closer, but subconsciously Sora, when he looked down, he saw that the thin figure originally entangled in the chain had broken free and disappeared at some point.

"..."

Glancing silently at the chain on his hand, the hellfire in Ghost Rider's eyes flickered a few times.

brush!

Turning his head, he glanced at the people in front of him who were paralyzed on the ground due to the fierce battle. The next moment, the chain hanging down from his hand flew out again, directly wrapped around a guy's body and pulled him in front of him.

"look into my eyes!"

…

"Hoo, hoo~"

Holding on to the wall at hand, Chang Emil staggered, with a look of pain on his face.

Although, with the help of the power of the great being in the pyramid, he successfully broke away from the judgment of the Ghost Rider.

However, it is obvious that the power of [Eye of Judgment] has also caused a certain degree of damage to Chang Emil's soul.

Breathing heavily, feeling the severe pain in his body that seemed to tear his soul apart, Chang Emil gritted his teeth to support his consciousness, preventing himself from passing out under the erosion of the severe pain.

"Ghost Rider!"

Fine beads of sweat spread all over Chang Emil's forehead. He opened his cloudy eyes wide and felt the severe pain that kept rising in his body.

Every time the pain of tearing his soul made him silently recite the name of Ghost Rider in his heart.

at the same time,

The hatred in his heart also deepened.

"Sooner or later, I will make you feel the same pain as I am now. No, I will return this pain to you ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times."

Chang Emil, who was filled with hatred, did not notice that as his words fell, the [Scarab Seal] on the back of his hand flashed with a faint red light.

…

New York, suburbs, amusement park.

Johnny Blaze woke up from his deep sleep again. He looked down at his palms that were once again filled with flesh and blood, with a dull expression on his face.

Turning around, he looked at the Harley motorcycle parked aside.

The motorcycle parked there quietly, exuding the familiar smell of lubricating oil, and it didn't look as ferocious and crazy as it did at night.

Johnny Blaze has always clearly remembered the memory of turning into the Ghost Rider at night.

Although, after turning into a skeleton wrapped in hellfire, his body instinctively began to capture sinful souls based on the contract with Mephistopheles. However, Johnny Blaze's consciousness is always in the skeleton, but he cannot seem to control his body.

"How did that guy escape from the trial?"

Recalling what Ghost Rider did the night before, the scene where Emil Chang escaped from the [Eye of Judgment] immediately caught Johnny Blaze's attention.

"Or, what kind of power does the other party have to restrain the fire of hell?"

Thinking of this possibility, the expression on Johnny Blaze's face immediately changed.

Johnny Blaze has always shown resistance to the power of Ghost Rider.

Although, after transforming into the Ghost Rider, he has a nearly immortal body and powerful hellfire.

But none of this was what Johnny Blaze wanted.

Although the Ghost Rider is powerful, he is always a puppet at the mercy of others. Under the requirements of the contract, he seeks out the souls of evil people and sends them to hell. And there is no will at all of his own.

Therefore, from the first day he got Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze was working hard to find a way to get rid of this curse.

But, obviously, the results weren't ideal.

Every night, Johnny Blaze is still under the influence of demonic power, transforming into the Ghost Rider entangled in hellfire and wandering the streets of New York looking for the souls of evildoers.

"In fact, it is not that person who restrains the power of hellfire."

While Johnny Blaze was guessing, a deep voice suddenly sounded.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man wearing a black coat and a half-smiling expression appeared in Johnny Blaze's room.

The middle-aged man glanced at Johnny Blaze in front of him, and then continued: "It's the mysterious power attached to that person, just like the power of hellfire I attached to you."

"Mephisto!"

Looking at this middle-aged man who suddenly appeared in front of him, the expression on Johnny Blaze's face immediately became excited.

Because the man in front of him was the culprit who deceived Johnny Blaze into signing a contract and turned him into the Ghost Rider.

"It seems like you are very excited about my arrival."

Looking at the excited Johnny Blaze in front of him, Mephistopheles had a faint smile on his face. Mephisto was not surprised by Johnny Blaze's attitude. In fact, Johnny was like this ’s reaction is one of the reasons why he enjoys trading with humans.

"Cancel the contract and take back the curse you placed on me."

"Cancel the contract?"

Raising his eyebrows and looking at Johnny Blaze in front of him, Mephistopheles shook his head slightly and rejected Johnny Blaze's request without hesitation.

"Impossible. I have always abided by the contents of the contract. According to the requirements of the contract signed by you and me, you will continue to serve me as the Ghost Rider until finally your soul comes into my hands. For I have always been looking forward to this day coming later.”

"you cheated me!"

Mephisto's words obviously aroused Johnny Blaze's inner emotions.

Looking at the careless middle-aged man in front of him, Johnny Blaze's eyes flashed with blazing flames, and bits of hellfire began to wrap around his body.

"No, I didn't. Everything I did was in accordance with the contract."

"You promised that you would cure my father's cancer."

Hearing Mephisto's answer, the hellfire on Johnny Blaze spread rapidly, and the flesh and blood on his young face quickly burned under the flames, forming a skull head wrapped in flames.

"In fact, I did cure your father's cancer."

Looking at Johnny Blaze, who was transformed into the Ghost Rider under the influence of anger, Mephistopheles curled his lips and admired the result he had created.

"However, he still died. The day after you and I signed the contract, he died under the flying performance."

"I only promised to cure your father's cancer. As for the other things, they are not within the scope of the contract I signed with you."

When questioned, Mephisto behaved quite calmly.

"you liar!"

"No, I'm the devil."

Driven by rage, Johnny Blaze transforms into the Ghost Rider for the first time in daylight and with clear consciousness.

With a roar from his mouth, Johnny Blaze raised his skeleton arm wrapped in flames. The next moment, a flame formed by hellfire shot towards Mephistopheles in front of him.

"Cheating is what I would do."

Facing the scorching hellfire that flew from Johnny Blaze's hand, Mephisto's face did not change at all.

As Johnny Blaze watched, the flames penetrated Mephisto's body, leaving a deep scorch mark on the ground.

But Mephisto still maintained his usual expression, looking at Johnny Blaze in front of him with admiration.

For him, the more Johnny Blaze masters Ghost Rider's powers, the better for him.

Because, in this way, the other party can serve him more and capture the souls he needs.

"Have you forgotten my true identity?"

As Mephistopheles finished speaking, a huge evil figure flashed away under Johnny Blaze's gaze.

Immediately afterwards, Mephistopheles raised his finger and tapped Johnny Blaze lightly. In the next second, the flames on the Ghost Rider who was originally wrapped in the fire of hell were quickly extinguished, and he was only On the remaining skeleton body, the flesh and blood burned by the flames grew again, returning to its original human appearance.

From Ghost Rider to human again.

As the power of hellfire dissipated in his body, Johnny Blaze fell to his knees on the ground with a pale face.

Clearly, using Ghost Rider's power when driven by rage doesn't come without a price.

Stepping forward to the pale Johnny Blaze, Mephistopheles looked at his Ghost Rider, his tone still maintaining his usual indifference: "I almost forgot, I didn't come here to argue with you about the contract. Come here. The guy who was tried before, I felt a very special power from him. This power is quite evil, even for me as a demon, it is extraordinary. "

"So, I need you to find that guy for me, and then bring his soul to me."

When he talked about the soul, Mephisto's original phantom expression subconsciously changed, and an unconcealable greed flashed through his dark pupils.

As a demon who is good at playing with souls, he can naturally feel the huge temptation of Chang Emil's Black Book of the Dead.

Mephistopheles had a hunch that if he could get the power he had from the guy who escaped from the [Eye of Judgment] before, his own power would be greatly improved.

This is also the main reason why he consumed a huge amount of power and transformed into a projection to come to Earth to meet Ghost Rider Johnny Blaze.

He lowered his head and glanced at Johnny Blaze who was lying on the ground. As a demon who plays with souls, Mephistopheles obviously knows a lot about human emotions.

In order to allow Johnny Blaze to work hard to find the soul that mastered the mysterious power, Mephistopheles did not hesitate to make a temptation: "As long as you can bring that soul over, as a reward, I will arrange for you to Seeing the soul of my dead father again, I think you have a lot to say to him..."

"real?!"

After hearing Mephisto's words, he knew clearly that everything would not be that simple.

But Johnny Blaze couldn't help but raise his head with an excited expression.

"Of course, if you don't trust me, I can sign a contract with you again, and this time you will determine the details of the contract."

Seeing Johnny Blaze's reaction, Mephistopheles knew that his goal had been basically achieved.

Twitching the corners of his mouth, Mephistopheles showed his usual smile, just like when he first signed a contract with Johnny Blaze.
