The original shape of the basement can no longer be seen. Looking down from the height of the 32nd floor, you can only see a giant pit with a depth of tens of meters, as if a small meteorite fell here. A powerful force hit the basement. It ripped through the entire building and opened a huge passage.
Unable to withstand the violent high temperature released, the dark brown scorched earth melted into tiny crystals. The sentinel stood in the center of the pit, with a white skeleton lying at his feet. The hell flames lingering around his body gradually extinguished and turned into a faint streak. Light smoke drifted in the sky.
“Ho ho…”
The severely injured Daredevil let out intermittent hoarse sounds. He could hardly be seen as a human being. The flames of hell burned the flesh and blood of his body, leaving only a pair of white bones comparable to steel.
The immortal body was strong enough to withstand the attacks of missiles and laser cannons. Under the three-minute energy beam bombardment, the bones of the entire body were almost shattered inch by inch. The hellfire that could have quickly healed the body’s injuries was now close to being extinguished. The vengeful spirit possessing the human body has a vague and thin form, like misty clouds, and will dissipate at any time.
Sean looked down at the Ghost Rider – the body of Daredevil and the consciousness of the Spirit of Vengeance. The two combined into one are Mephisto’s most proud creation. According to the information provided by Skynet, the strong energy released by the Sentinels caused a low-intensity earthquake in Hell’s Kitchen for three minutes. The entire Starlink Building almost collapsed, and the cars on the street even erupted with piercing sirens, as if Play a clumsy, noisy rhapsody together.
The huge energy released from the sentinel’s body not only tore apart the thick soil in the basement, but also the strong air waves that escaped from it crushed all existing materials into powder. For Sean, this is the first time he has released energy so heartily. The faint golden light lingering on his body is slightly dim. Since absorbing the huge dragon bone of the Hand, plus the suit’s amplification and energy absorption, The progress bar is approaching 50% of the level.
He had a vague hunch that when he broke the 50% shackles, he might get an unprecedented improvement. However, the speed of strength growth in the later period had begun to gradually decrease. Even with Dr. Otto’s artificial sun, he could not achieve it. Immediate breakthrough.
Stepping on the skull that had faded from the flames, Sean whispered: “Matt Murdock, you made the wrong decision. Not everyone has Faust’s good luck and can escape the devil’s careful preparations. trap.”
“Do you really think Mephisto would be so kind and give you powerful power to maintain justice in the world? He is just using you to commit more evil deeds to absorb souls as nourishment.” Sean said casually. He glanced at the darkness and said softly: “Am I right, Lord of Hell, Mephisto?”
A cold breath surged out, and the black air flowed like a living creature, with the smell of sulfur like hell’s lava. An old man wearing a black priest’s robe appeared out of thin air, his gray hair was combed meticulously, and he was leaning on a silver skull cane. Judging from his appearance and demeanor, he looks like an old aristocrat from the last century.
“Aren’t you afraid of incurring the curse of the devil if you dare to call me by my name?”
Amidst the howling wind, the hell lord who likes to walk in the material world finally appeared. He looked at Daredevil who fell on the ground and snorted, “Useless trash.”
Mephisto’s original intention of creating the Ghost Rider was to create a hunter who could collect souls for him and strengthen the fire of hell. Because his own power was limited by the material world, and the temple mages were always wary of alien creatures. Invasion, so this hell lord can only resort to the help of others.
One hundred and fifty years ago, Carter Shirey was his first experimental subject. The Texas Ranger who was imprisoned for greed easily took the bait. Mephisto exchanged his freedom for his soul and signed a contract. After the contract was made, the poor guy who was deceived became the first host of the vengeful spirit.
The first mission Carter-Shrey accepted was to collect the soul of the small town of Santa Fanganza. This small town, which once had simple folk customs, was tempted by Mephisto and signed a contract to sell its soul. In the end, they became sinful due to greed, killed each other, and betrayed each other, turning the place into a purgatory on earth, and the sinful souls of thousands of people were also sealed in that contract.
Any demon that obtains that soul contract can quickly increase its power. For spiritual creatures, it is like nutrients for survival. The more it absorbs, the stronger its natural ability will be. Angels and demons are different. , the former likes pure and clear souls, while in the eyes of demons, corrupted and sinful souls are the most delicious.
It’s a pity that Carter-Shrey did not lose the compassion and kindness in his heart. After he found that all this was too evil, he escaped with the contract of Saint Fangansa, so that Mephitus could not get his hands on those poor souls until one hundred and fifty years later. , the Hell Lord once again found the second Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze.
However, Mephisto’s luck was really bad. The second knight betrayed him again. He would rather escape to the other side of the earth than become the devil’s thug. So he learned the lessons from the previous two times and decided to find a An obedient and well-behaved guy.
“Go back to where you should be, otherwise the Temple Mage will come looking for you sooner or later. You’d better hope that the Supreme Mage can show mercy to you.” Sean said calmly.
He is not afraid of Mephisto. Not to mention how much strength Mephisto can exert in the material world, Sentinel will not flinch even if he faces the powerful Hell Lord.
“Want to use the name of Supreme Mage to scare me away?”
The old man’s face was as dark as water, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He really hated those temple mages, especially Gu Yi, who was a formidable enemy. The footprints of demons and angels once spread all over the world. Whether it was the European continent in the Middle Ages or the uncivilized African wilderness, they all left records and traces of spiritual creatures.
Those witches who were burned to death, crazy occultists, fanatical believers who believed in immortality…they all existed among them, until Agamodu established the trinity of magicians, with three temples and countless small monasteries. , built into a powerful line of defense in the material world. Since then, angels have been expelled, demons have been eliminated, and the twilight of spiritual creatures has arrived. Later, a mighty industrial revolution started. People began to believe in truth instead of empty gods. Science completely swept theology into the history. corner.
“I don’t mind starting a fight with a hell leader.” Sean’s eyes were filled with eagerness to try. “It just so happens that I have recently become a little interested in magic and souls.”
Mephisto’s face was solemn, he held the silver skull cane tightly, and between the dark pupils, the soul-scorching hellfire surged out! Unlike the tiny flames of Ghost Rider, once this Hell Lord releases his power, it becomes a torrent of rage!
The huge pit was covered with waves of fire. The old man looked deeply at the sentinel standing in the center. The wailing sounds of countless people shook the soul. They were the souls of the dead in hell, who were driven to launch spiritual attacks towards the target.
As the Lord of Hell, Mephisto also has his own pride. He will never allow unwarranted provocations from mortals. Even if the Supreme Mage arrives in person, he may not be able to keep this powerful demon who has lived in hell for a long time. .
The hell world, filled with the smell of sulfur and hot lava, has always emphasized the supremacy of power and the power that cannot be blasphemed. For the devil, these two are the most important and no one can touch or offend.
