Chapter 136: A Long-Awaited Hot Spring Bath, Cooking Like Crazy, Hela Arrives, Hell Is About to Descend Upon Reality!
"It should work!"
If Wanda wanted to perform a teleportation on her own, it would still be very difficult.
But because Hode had already inscribed a magic circle here, the most difficult step had already been omitted.
Looking at the passage in front of her, just as Wanda was about to enter, she discovered that the passage was experiencing violent fluctuations.
"That's not right, I shouldn't have made a mistake in casting the spell!"
Wanda frowned; according to her execution of the Sorcery, all she needed to do was construct the coordinates.
After all, this magic circle was left by Hode, so even the opened spatial passage should be exceptionally stable.
And just at this moment, a figure walked out from inside.
Looking closely, wasn't this person Hode?
"Wanda? You are here..."
Hode was stunned for a moment, then instantly realized that Wanda intended to follow the mark he left behind to find him.
This couldn't help but make him feel secretly fearful; it was fortunate that he had returned just in time.
Otherwise, if she had gone over a while earlier, she probably would have seen the scene of him with a beauty in each arm.
If she had really seen it, Wanda would probably have had the heart to pinch him to death.
"You're finally back, I thought you had some kind of accident!"
The moment Wanda saw Hode, she jumped directly into Hode's embrace.
Although it was only two days, for her, it was like a year.
And having had no information about Hode the whole time, she didn't dare to be sure if Hode had an accident.
Now seeing Hode return safe and sound, her hanging heart finally let go.
"How could I possibly have an accident? My strength is very powerful!"
Hode patted his chest and spoke confidently.
There were very few people who could harm him now.
Even if he really couldn't win, he could still manage to escape.
Not to mention anything else, just his ancient bloodline alone would make it impossible for him to die.
"Who knows, this World will always have 705u.com-53 Reading Club, someone more powerful!"
Wanda bit her lower lip and punched Hode's chest hard.
Every time he went out, he wouldn't tell her, making her worry constantly.
After waking up in the morning, she had already discovered that Hode was gone.
Now having waited two days without news, it would be hellish if she wasn't worried.
"Alright, alright, aren't I back now?"
Hode chuckled and reached out to wipe away the tears from the corner of Wanda's eyes.
It must be said that the feeling of having someone waiting for you to return is really quite nice.
What's more, this was a first-class beauty.
"It's just that I didn't expect you to actually intend to come find me."
Hode put his arm around Wanda's slender waist and said with a smile.
"You think I wanted to? If I had gone over, I might have been able to help!"
Wanda rolled her eyes at Hode; after all, she knew Chaos Magic too: "But what did you actually go do this time?"
She was very curious about what Hode had gone to do that took him so long.
"I was trying to cultivate Sorcery to travel to other Multiverses, and after I arrived, I happened to make some friends who needed my help..."
Hode didn't hide it either, but roughly explained what had happened.
"In other words, you went to help them get rid of a crisis and then came back?"
Wanda looked Hode up and down and slowly left Hode's embrace.
She widened her eyes and asked in pursuit.
"Alright, have you eaten? I'll go make you some food!"
Hode scratched the back of his head and spoke with an awkward tone.
However, he himself hadn't expected to be gone for so long.
Otherwise, he would definitely have told Wanda in advance.
"There's no need to cook, I've already eaten!"
Wanda shook her head, the worried look on her face beginning to turn strange: "Hode Fernandez, I still have some other things I want to ask you."
The moment Hode heard Wanda call his full name, his whole body froze.
Generally speaking, when a woman suddenly calls your full name, it will definitely not be a good thing.
Besides, it was obvious that something big was about to happen.
Looking at Wanda's smile, which hid daggers, Hodesuddenly thought of something.
He had actually forgotten to change his clothes when he came back.
After all, Hode had come straight back after attending the party and hadn't remembered that Wanda's nose was as sharp as a dog's.
It could be said that every time he hugged or held a woman, Wanda would know.
"Can you tell me which woman you went to play with this time?"
Just now, when Wanda leaned against Hode, she discovered that there was more than just the scent of alcohol.
It was also mixed with a woman's perfume. Although it was faint, she could still smell it.
Knowing Hode's nature, she had already guessed that this matter was definitely not that simple.
"Um... I just went over for a drink, I didn't pay attention to anything else."
Hode quickly shook his head in denial. After all, he had just been with Hela two days ago, and now two more had appeared. Wanda would definitely not let him off easily.
Even if he let Wanda find out eventually, there had to be at least some time in between.
"Oh?"
Wanda's brow twitched. She closely examined Hode's clothes, then picked off a red hair. "Can you tell me what on earth this is?"
"Isn't that your hair?"
Hode laughed it off, scratching the back of his head.
He didn't even need to look to know it was definitely Jean Grey's hair. After all, only her hair was red.
"Don't think I can't tell. You'd better confess honestly—this is absolutely not my hair!"
Wanda glared at Hode, her eyes filled with anger. Holding the hair, she said, "If you won't admit it, I can take it for a DNA test!"
She was about to go crazy with anger. It had only been a few days, and he had gone out looking for women again.
And they already had her, Hela, and Gwen.
If she wasn't mistaken, this guy also had some designs on her now-adult Lorna.
Yet even with so many already, he still hadn't reined himself in.
"Wait! I remember now. This should be the hair of that girl named Jean Grey!"
Hode put on a look of sudden realization and continued, "This must have drifted onto me when I went to change the World in the past, discovered the Phoenix Force inside her, and accidentally brushed against it while communicating with the Phoenix Force!"
Although this explanation was indeed a bit far-fetched, it was still plausible.
After all, Wanda also knew about the bond between the Three Ancient Magics.
"You'd better be telling the truth. And tell me, did you do anything you shouldn't have done?!"
Wanda stared straight at Hode, her eyes full of suspicion.
To be honest, she also knew that because of ancient magic, there would be a special bond.
If he really encountered the Phoenix Force, it wasn't impossible for them to spar with each other.
"Don't be angry. I definitely love you. Let's go soak in the hot springs tonight. The weather has been pretty nice lately!"
Hode also took Wanda's hand, looking at her with a sincere gaze.
He didn't dare to hug Wanda right now. After all, his other shoulder carried Clarice's scent.
If she smelled a different scent, he was truly worried whether Wanda would make him experience real pain while he was asleep.
After all, Wanda knew he could regenerate. If she got angry, it wasn't impossible for her to teach him a lesson.
"I'm warning you, you'd better remember this!"
Wanda could naturally tell that Hode was definitely changing the subject. "Don't let there be a next time! We are going to soak in the hot springs now!"
After all, saying anything now was useless, and she also knew that Hode definitely liked her.
Because of their mental link, she could very clearly feel Hode's feelings for her.
It was also because of this that she didn't continue to hold onto the matter.
However, they didn't go anywhere else to soak in the hot springs this time.
Because after soaking in a hot spring last time, Wanda had fallen in love with them.
So she simply had people survey the underground to see if there were any hot spring veins.
Although they didn't find any, in order to make Wandahappy, Hode simply used his energy to bring a hot spring over.
So now, there was already a huge hot spring pool in their backyard.
Although it was a private hot spring, they still put on swimsuits.
After all, it was an open-air hot spring.
Seeing Wanda put on that familiar red swimsuit, a mischievous smile appeared on Hode's face.
With a forceful pull of his right hand, the entire hot spring was suddenly enveloped in dark red gas.
...
...
On the streets of Italy.
A haggard figure in slightly worn leather clothes dragged his feet wearily along the street.
His gaze turned to a shop window reflecting his face, which was filled with pain.
"Finally escaped."
Ghost Rider Johnny let out a long sigh.
Having escaped from Hell, he was now completely exhausted.
Those demons were like hyenas, constantly chasing after him without letting go.
Only now did he finally have a little breathing room.
"Johnny? Is that you?"
Just then, a familiar voice came from behind him.
He subconsciously looked back, and when he saw that figure, the expression on his face froze.
He never expected that he would run into an acquaintance in this place.
"Sorry, you have the wrong person!"
Johnny covered his face and quickened his pace, blending directly into the crowd.
Although he could hear voices calling out to him from behind, he didn't slow his pace in the slightest.
Only after walking into an alley did he let out a long breath.
"What a mess. How could I meet an acquaintance even here?"
Johnny plopped down on a trash can with a metal lid and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"But what should I do next?"
Johnny pulled a crumpled cigarette from his pocket and tossed it into his mouth.
With a deep breath, the tip of the cigarette actually ignited on its own.
As thick smoke drifted up, a newspaper in the distance drifted to his feet with the breeze.
"Huh, what's this?"
Johnny bent down to pick up the newspaper, casually opening it to take a look...
The expression on his face became a little strange. He never expected that such a thing would happen.
[Angels Really Exist! An Angel Has Descended in Vatican!]
"Angels?"
Johnny snorted coldly and spat on the ground.
To him, beings like Angels were incredibly hypocritical.
Such hypocritical existences were merely using the name of Angels to deceive the World.
After all, he had never seen those guys do anything good.
And if there really were Angels, then demons certainly wouldn't be so arrogant.
"Should I go take a look?"
Johnny rubbed his thinning hair, a hesitant look appearing on his face.
After all, those Angel fellas certainly wouldn't do anything good. If he really encountered them, he should drop by and see what kind of nonsense they were up to.
"I'd better go take a look!"
Thinking of this, Johnny smoked the rest of the cigarette butt in one breath, casually threw it on the ground, and crushed it with his foot.
He walked quickly out of the alley, and the motorcycle parked not far away was his beloved ride.
The vintage motorcycle was painted with flames and black, and its high-raised handlebars fully embodied the vintage style.
Because it was daytime, he had no way to unleash his power at this time.
He could only ride his motorcycle, wobbling along toward Vatican.
With the roar of the engine, a long-lost smile appeared on his face.
The moment the Sun went down, Johnny, riding through the wilderness, curled his lips.
Gritting his teeth, flames instantly erupted from his body.
The flames rapidly spread along the motorcycle, and the moment the two merged—
The motorcycle quickly underwent a change, its outer frame beginning to warp.
At the same time, the headlight of the motorcycle instantly turned into a skull, with flames flickering in its eyes.
Meanwhile, its speed began to increase rapidly. Under the faint light of the setting Sun, the flames along the way appeared incredibly dazzling.
...
...
...
Inside the manor.
"You really can't behave yourself even while taking a bath!"
Wanda pouted her lips as she adjusted her clothes. Although she kept muttering complaints,
the slight upward curve of her lips still betrayed her current mood.
"Admiring a beauty while soaking in a hot spring is truly the happiest thing in the World."
Hode pinched Wanda's cheek, his lips curling up slightly.
Sometimes, coaxing a girl was much simpler than one would think.
But the most important thing was that he could take the opportunity while soaking in the hot spring to change his clothes.
He didn't want Wanda to discover another one.
"You're just a smooth talker!"
Wanda dodged Hode's hand and stood up from the water.
"I'm hungry, go get ready to cook!"
Wanda pulled Hode toward the room.
After all, soaking in a hot spring consumed quite a lot of energy.
So cooking a meal after a hot spring soak was perfect.
Besides, she really did miss Hode's cooking.
"Alright! Cooking it is!"
Hode's lips curled slightly, a smile playing on his face.
Just as they entered the room, Hode suddenly saw a Bifrost Bridge appear in his courtyard.
When the light of the Bifrost Bridge faded, was it not Helawho appeared within?
Hela was taken aback upon appearing, then a smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.
"It seems I have come at a bad time!"
Hela looked at Hode and said with a playful smile.
She was no longer naive; she knew at a glance that the two of them were about to go eat.
"No, no, no, you have come at the perfect time!"
Hode looked at Hela and teased her.
"That won't be necessary, we can eat together another time."
Hela's face flushed red, and she looked at Hode, saying, "Hode, something big has happened!"
"What is it?"
Hode frantically searched his mind for any major events recently.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't think of what might happen next.
He also knew that Hela would never come to see him without a reason.
After all, there must be many things in Asgard that still needed to be dealt with.
"I just received news that Earth has been targeted by demons!"
Hela took a deep breath and said with a grave expression.
It was precisely because she received this news that she told Hode immediately.
Although Hode was very powerful, they still needed to prepare in advance.
"Demons?"
Hode was stunned at first, then his expression became grave.
If demons were targeting Earth, there could only be one possibility: they wanted to return to the human world.
Once demons appeared in the human world, it would inevitably lead to devastation.
This was his own timeline, so he absolutely could not let this happen under any circumstances.
"Let's get ready to leave!"
With just a thought, Hode roughly determined the location.
He had already sensed that the demons would likely appear at the Vatican.
Fallen Angel, is it the Gate of Hell? The fury of Ghost Rider!
Outside the Vatican Cathedral.
Hundreds of devout believers were worshipping with faith.
They raised their heads, staring fixedly at the statue in the center of the cathedral with a look of madness.
This was a damaged crucifix statue, with the suffering Jesus nailed to it.
Because so much time had passed, the stone of Jesus's face had cracked and broken.
The eye area looked just like the eyes of a demon from hell, appearing incredibly eerie.
Yet there was no change in the eyes of the believers; instead, they felt it was only right for it to be this way.
In this courtyard, all that could be heard was the sound of prayer, as if coming from hell.
At this moment, three figures blended into these believers.
"These guys seem to have gone mad, right? I feel that their souls are not quite right."
Wanda frowned and looked around; she could clearly feel that these people seemed to have lost their original selves.
It could even be said that there was nothing else in their brains, only twisted faith.
Even this faith was not because of Jesus, but because of some eerie existence.
"I'm afraid they no longer belong to the category of humans."
Hode just took a glance and could clearly feel that although the surrounding believers still maintained human form.
Their hearts were already incredibly twisted, and even their consciousness had been controlled by some existence.
"But what exactly do these guys intend to do?"
Hela looked at the statue; although they were constantly worshipping, their faith was not being infused into the statue.
"Not sure, but what is certain is that this group of believers must have another purpose!"
Hode looked up at the statue and let out a cold snort.
Although it was nominally an Angel that appeared, and although Angels also belonged to the ranks of the gods.
They were not of the same system as the gods of Asgard.
Moreover, he had no affection for these so-called Angels.
If they were truly saving all living beings, they should have long ago rescued humanity from suffering.
To put it plainly, in his eyes, humanity was more like a buffer zone between Angels and demons.
It was just a desire to manipulate human thoughts, but Angels wouldn't specifically harm humans.
While demons would feed on human flesh and souls, which was why they were feared by humans.
"Is this an Angel or a demon? This statue is not quite right!"
Wanda looked at the strange statue and turned to Hela, after all, although there was some energy fluctuation with this statue.
This energy fluctuation was both righteous and evil, giving people a very strange feeling.
"Not too sure, I only received the news."
Hela shook her head helplessly; after all, it was not easy to know so much information.
Although she had said she used her own energy to check, and although she felt a demon flash by.
But it disappeared in the end, so she didn't get any more useful information.
Because the other party didn't initiate any major actions, and it felt more like a demon to her.
"No rush, anyway, whether it's an Angel or a demon, they can't hide forever."
A cold smile appeared at the corners of Hode's mouth.
If the other party really wanted to release the demons, he wouldn't mind giving the demons a lesson they would never forget.
"That's true, since that's the case, let's wait."
Hela nodded slowly; after all, this was the only way left now.
Just at this moment, there was a sudden roar of an engine from outside.
Following the roar of a motorcycle, there was a commotion at the gate not far away.
A man dressed in leather, with slightly thinning hair, walked in slowly.
His attire had a bit of a punk feel, and his eyes were staring straight at the statue in the center of the cathedral.
Facing this sudden uninvited guest, Hode couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Because his commotion was too great, the believers who were praying just now all turned to look at this man.
"It seems you really believe in this useless thing!"
A look of disdain appeared on Johnny's face; this so-called god was just like a joke to him.
This is the human world; it is an area that neither Angels nor demons should be allowed to tread at will.
While speaking, he subconsciously touched the iron chains wrapped around his body.
It was clear that this time it would inevitably be another fierce battle.
"Who are you? You are not allowed to desecrate our faith!"
"Get out! This is not a place for someone like you!"
"Damn it, we should put this guy on the cross and burn him!"
"..."
The expressions of the believers all appeared incredibly ferocious.
At this moment, they didn't look like believers of God, but rather like lunatics who believed in Satan.
Facing these believers who were glaring at him, Johnnyplaced his hand on the shotgun at his waist.
In an instant, he aimed the gun directly at the statue in the center, and as he pulled the trigger.
The central statue suddenly burst apart, and countless stone fragments scattered in all directions.
This sudden situation stunned all the believers present.
No one expected that this guy who appeared would attack their faith without hesitation.
"Holy Angel? It's just a joke; wasn't it blown to pieces by my gun?"
Before the crowd of believers could react, Johnny strode to the front of the shattered statue.
He raised his foot and fiercely crushed these stone pieces, his face full of disdain.
A true Angel would never do such things to mislead the masses with fallacies.
If they truly wanted to help humanity, they would never allow those damned demons to appear.
So in his eyes, they were just birds of a feather, and none of them were good things.
"Who is he? It seems he also came here for this matter!"
When Wanda saw this scene, she couldn't help but be stunned.
When this person appeared, he displayed an arrogant and domineering demeanor.
It could even be said that every action he took was completely beyond her expectations.
"Don't know, but the energy fluctuation on this person is very strange."
"And his physical body doesn't look like what a human should have."
Hela keenly sensed the something wrong with Johnny.
Because Johnny's body was permeated with an evil aura, and there was clearly another soul trapped inside his body.
This was an extremely evil and irritable soul, as if it intended to break out of his body at any moment.
Even the flesh of this person emitted a strange smell; accurately speaking, it was more like the smell on a demon.
But what was very strange was that she could even see that this physical body was very fragile.
Yet when this person did things, he was so unscrupulous.
When Hode saw this person appear, his lips curled slightly.
He didn't expect that he would be able to see Ghost RiderJohnny here.
Regarding Hela's confusion, he understood clearly that the reason why the energy fluctuation on Johnny was strange was entirely related to the environment.
The more evil the opponent Johnny encountered, the stronger his power became.
At the same time, Johnny needed to endure extremely terrifying pain when transforming for the first time.
Hellfire would burn away all the flesh on his body, and then construct brand new flesh through Hellfire.
Because of this reason, the flesh on Johnny's body at this time was not his own at all.
It could be said that this flesh was constructed by Hellfire, which also spared him the pain of flesh burning during subsequent transformations.
Of course, the pain and madness at the soul level were naturally unavoidable.
After all, there was an incredible soul trapped inside Johnny's body!
Damn it! This guy actually smashed the sacred sculpture!"
"Kill him! Let him know the consequences of destroying the statue!"
"Fuck, I'm going to skin him alive!"
"Let's send him before God to face judgment!"
"..."
Following the roars of these believers, they immediately lunged towards him.
Their eyes were filled with madness and rage; it was as if this statue was their most beloved person.
So, upon seeing this scene, their actions were like those of madmen.
The dense crowd surged towards the center instantly, their roars and movements resembling those of zombies.
In just an instant, they had tightly surrounded Johnny.
"No, we must save him quickly!"
Wanda's hands instantly erupted with crimson light.
But just then, a hand held her back.
"Don't be anxious, let's wait a moment!"
Hode said with a calm tone.
Johnny isn't that easy to kill; there's more to this guy than meets the eye.
Furthermore, he also wanted to see how Johnny would deal with these crazy believers.
"Wait? But he won't be able to hold out for long!"
Although Wanda could feel the man's frantic inner state, she didn't know his true strength.
Moreover, Hela had just said that this person was very fragile, which was why she was especially worried.
Seeing this scene now, she couldn't help but frown, fearing that some accident might happen.
"Hode is right; let's first see what actually happens!"
Hela nodded slowly; she had already felt that the madness of the soul becoming increasingly intense.
At the same time, this guy who had suddenly appeared was like a powder keg about to explode.
Just as they were speaking, a faint glow of fire suddenly appeared within the dark, dense crowd.
The firelight shot out from the gaps in the dense crowd.
Boom!
Accompanied by a terrifying flame, everyone was blasted away.
Suddenly, fire soared into the sky; the flesh and skin on Johnny's face slowly sloughed off, revealing a hideous skull.
The spikes on his leather jacket slowly grew longer at this moment, and his entire appearance looked incredibly ferocious.
"What's going on? How did this guy suddenly turn into this?!"
Wanda was stunned; in just the blink of an eye, he had actually turned into a skeleton.
What was even more terrifying was that she could still feel the violent power emanating from this man.
Accompanied by madness and anger, as his gaze swept across, it seemed as if he could look directly into a person's soul.
"As expected, this guy is not simple; otherwise, he wouldn't have appeared before the believers like this!"
Hela only nodded faintly when she saw this; compared to this, she was more curious about Johnny's soul.
Although it was frantic and fallen, it actually contained a kind of sacred power.
This strange power, combined with such an appearance, gave people a very jarring feeling.
Watching Johnny transform, Hode's lips curled up slightly.
This was exactly as he had imagined; this was indeed Ghost Rider Johnny.
It must be said that this transformed appearance looked much better than Johnny's original form.
The chains wrapped around his shoulders also gradually turned red under the burning of Hellfire.
The Hellfire on Johnny was a very strange flame; if Johnnydidn't want it to, the surrounding things wouldn't burn at all.
Only when he felt like doing so would the surrounding reality be affected.
"A bunch of brainwashed lunatics, let me send you all to hell!"
Johnny casually picked up a believer beside him, his eyes staring straight into the other person's eyes.
The next second, Hellfire engulfed and burned this person, and with a shrill wail, they instantly turned to ash.
The surrounding believers were not afraid upon seeing this; instead, they climbed up and lunged towards Johnny.
Roar!!!
Johnny suddenly opened his skeletal mouth wide, and countless lava and flames instantly spewed out from his mouth.
The moment these believers came into contact with the lava and flames, they were burned to nothing, leaving no bones behind amidst their shrill wails.
"This power is truly too terrifying!"
Wanda's expression changed drastically as she watched this scene.
Although she could also make people disappear without a trace, she definitely didn't have such efficiency.
"Actually, his power isn't terrifying, because these believers are burning only because they have sin."
Hode explained slowly with a smile.
After all, this power could only deal with those who were full of sin.
To be precise, the reason they were reduced to nothing was because the Hellfire dragged these guys into hell.
That is why such a situation occurred.
"In other words, this isn't his power, but he's just borrowing this power."
Hela, standing to the side with her chin in her hand, asked seriously.
It must be said that this power was much more interesting than she had imagined.
Moreover, she could feel that the skeleton's power all originated from another place and the soul within its body.
Furthermore, if Johnny were to fight her, his power would likely become even stronger.
Because this type of power has a very strong restraining effect on sin.
Johnny, wrapped in flames, slowly walked out, cracking his neck: "Lucifer, get out here!"
Johnny knew very well that all of this was done by Lucifer, and to resolve this matter, he had to deal with Lucifer first.
But just at this moment, several Police officers in uniform rushed in from outside the church.
"Don't move!"
One of the Police officers raised a revolver and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The spinning bullet struck Johnny's forehead fiercely.
Bang!
Johnny's head was merely knocked to the side by the bullet.
"Stupid, you bunch of Lucifer's lackeys, show me your true forms!"
Johnny fiercely whipped the chains wrapped around his body towards the distant Police officers.
And at this instant, the skin on the Police officers' bodies instantly split open.
Angels with two pairs of wings instantly burst out from their chests, flapping their large wings and rushing towards Johnny.
Moreover, the Angels had golden longswords condensed in their hands, and every slash forced Johnny to retreat step by step.
"This is an Angel?!"
When Wanda saw the Angels, a look of doubt appeared on her face.
Although these Angels looked pure, the process of them emerging from the bodies of the Police officers was simply too bloody.
Wanda could also feel that this was clearly descending into the mortal world through human bodies.
The more this was the case, the more she felt that these Angels were different from what she had imagined.
"These are all Fallen Angel, they can't be considered Angelanymore."
Hode shook his head.
A Fallen Angel is a demonic Angel that has fallen from heaven into hell.
Although they are still Angel, only evil remains in their hearts.
They are even more terrifying and violent than ordinary demons.
"Do we need to go over and help?"
A smile appeared on Hela's lips; she didn't have any good feelings towards these things that looked sacred.
Although they were not from the same pantheon, this was an innate disgust.
Meanwhile, Johnny was being beaten by several Fallen Angel and could barely parry.
"Johnny, go back to hell! You have already signed the agreement; you absolutely cannot come out!"
One of the Fallen Angel said in a cold voice.
"Pah!"
A mouthful of lava was spat out directly by Johnny.
"Catch him!"
The Fallen Angel were furious upon seeing this action and instantly used black chains to entangle Johnny.
Just when he was about to bring Johnny back.
Hum!
Two sharp longswords instantly slashed and broke the chains.
The Fallen Angel turned their heads to look.
A woman with an arrogant smile was looking at them with a provocative gaze.
Chapter 138 Lucifer spotted, heading to Sakaar!
"Goddess of Death Hela?!"
The pupils of the Fallen Angel contracted sharply the moment they saw Hela appear.
They never expected that Hela would actually appear here.
Although they did not belong to Hela, they had all heard of Hela's reputation.
You must know that Hela's strength had already reached the level of a god; they could not possibly be Hela's opponents.
"Retreat!"
The leading Fallen Angel suddenly spread his wings and flew upwards without hesitation.
As for the other Fallen Angel, they followed closely behind, flying away towards different windows above, trying to escape.
"Escaping?"
Hode's lips curled up slightly; he opened his right hand, and countless chains gushed out from the ground, fiercely dragging all these Fallen Angel back to the ground.
"Damn it, let us go quickly!"
The Fallen Angel frantically slashed at the chains with the golden longswords in their hands.
But no matter how they slashed, the chains seemed indestructible.
"A bunch of guys who have already fallen into hell, yet you are still using sacred power; this is truly ironic!"
Feeling this sacred power, a look of disdain flashed in Hela's eyes.
Because they were Fallen Angel, although they had been tainted by the aura of hell, they were still using the power of God.
This kind of aura was exactly what made her feel the most disgusted.
"Hela, we have absolutely no hatred towards you, let us go!"
The leader of the Fallen Angel roared unwillingly at Hela.
Because Hela's Realm of the Dead governed the gods of Asgard, and it had nothing to do with them.
And their Heaven and Hell were mainly on Earth, so there was simply no reason for them to have a conflict.
"I am the God King of Asgard, I have the right to manage the Nine Realms, and I will naturally intervene when you do these things!"
Hela looked at these Fallen Angel coldly, her voice incomparably icy.
Usually, their petty squabbles could be ignored, but she felt the aura of the Hell Gate about to open.
Therefore, she would absolutely not stand by and watch. Once the Hell Gate was opened, Earth would become the territory of demons.
"Who are you?"
The flames on Johnny's body gradually dissipated, and he looked at the few people with a puzzled expression.
Just now, while he was fighting, he had noticed the three people in the distance.
Because the behavior of these three was simply too calm.
More importantly, the feeling brought by each person's soul was completely different.
Hela's soul was mainly mixed with the aura of Death. Although there was sin, it seemed to be a force that was taken for granted.
Even his Hellfire could not directly burn Hela's soul.
And Wanda's soul was incomparably clean; this soul carried a full sense of justice.
The most strange and terrifying thing to him was the soul of that man.
Because he actually couldn't see Hode's soul. When he wanted to look directly at it, it was as if he saw the boundless Universe.
It even made his eyes ache faintly, so he simply didn't know the identities of these few people.
"We also felt the aura of Hell, which is why we rushed over."
Hode didn't go into too much detail, but simply introduced himself.
"Should we ask what these guys are planning to do?"
Hela shifted her gaze coldly to the Fallen Angel.
What she wanted to know more was what these Fallen Angel were actually planning to do.
"You want to get information from us?! Don't you dare dream about it!"
The wings of the leading Fallen Angel began to slowly change from pure White to a deep black like ink.
His face wore a ferocious smile, as if he were a demon crawling out of Hell.
"Oh?"
A smile appeared on Hela's face: "It seems you don't intend to cooperate with me?"
After speaking, she waved her right hand, and black mist surged into the ground beneath the Fallen Angel like a long rope instantly.
And in the next second, a black hole opened instantly.
Countless skeleton hands carrying the aura of the undead reached out from inside, grabbing the body of the leading Fallen Angel tightly.
As the undead aura surged in, the Fallen Angel felt pain and fear from the depths of his soul.
"Let me go! Quickly let me go!"
The Fallen Angel let out a shrill wail; he could clearly feel that this was another World.
The aura coming from this World made him unable to help but fear to the extreme.
"Since you won't talk, let my babies play with you properly!"
"This is my Realm of the Dead. Since you belong to the gods, you can go in and properly experience their warm hospitality!"
"Rest assured, inside, you will never be able to perish without my permission!"
Hela's mouth curled up, her eyes revealing an unspeakable evil.
Her Realm of the Dead was not that simple, although these were not gods of the same system.
But as long as it was a divine status lower than hers, it could be directly pulled into her Realm of the Dead.
Countless undead inside would definitely be very interested in this strange soul.
"No! No!"
The leading Fallen Angel let out a shrill scream in fear.
He simply couldn't imagine the days of being tortured for eternity.
And he knew very well that Hela was definitely not lying to him!
"You better go in!"
Hela shook her head, and with just a thought, these undead instantly pulled the Fallen Angel into the Realm of the Dead.
At this moment, everyone could still hear the wailing sound of the Fallen Angel as he left.
"Do you have anything you want to say?"
Hela looked at the next Fallen Angel, her voice incomparably gentle, and a smile still on her lips.
However, after the Fallen Angel saw this smile, he was almost driven crazy.
His mouth opened slightly, and just as he wanted to say something, Hela suddenly spoke.
"It seems you don't want to talk either, that's really a pity!"
In the next second, countless undead instantly tore at the Fallen Angel, pulling him directly into the Realm of the Dead.
And at this moment, only one female Fallen Angel who looked terrified to the extreme remained on the spot.
"I'll talk! I'll tell you whatever you want to know!"
Although she said she wasn't afraid of Death, she was afraid of that eternal torture.
She didn't even dare to imagine what would happen if she were dragged inside.
"Speak quickly!"
At this time, Johnny could no longer hold back; he stepped forward and asked in a serious voice.
He knew very well that that damned guy Lucifer must be doing something unknown.
And this was very likely to be opening the Hell Gate, but he didn't even know where the other party was going to open it.
"Lucifer, he intends to let the Hell Gate open on Earth..."
The Fallen Angel continued to speak tearfully.
"Sure enough, the aura I sensed was correct!"
Hela nodded secretly; it seemed this idea had finally been confirmed.
This group of guys just wanted to open the Hell Gate.
"Damned Lucifer, I'm going back to Hell to find him now!"
Johnny's teeth gnashed, his eyes full of anger.
He didn't expect that Lucifer would actually do such a crazy thing.
"Lucifer is not in Hell right now."
The Fallen Angel hurriedly said in a rushed voice: "He is on Sakaar now!"
"Sakaar? Where is that?"
Hela couldn't help but be stunned when she heard the name of this Planet.
"Damn it, there's no way to stop this!"
Although Johnny hadn't heard of this place either, it was obviously an extremely distant Planet.
With his current abilities, it was simply impossible for him to go to such a distant place.
"Sakaar, huh?"
Hode stroked his chin, always feeling that this Planetsounded familiar, and just then, he suddenly remembered the origin of Sakaar.
"I know where it is. This Sakaar is on the edge of the galaxy, ruled by the Grandmaster!"
The Grandmaster possesses a near-infinite lifespan.
He is immune to aging and all diseases, and even physical attacks cannot harm him in the slightest.
He even possesses extremely powerful regenerative abilities.
Various superhuman abilities such as levitation, energy projection, psychic abilities, matter manipulation, and time and space jumping can all be converted from Cosmic Energy.
The most terrifying thing is that this guy even possesses powerful resurrection abilities.
As long as the living entity has not been dead for more than thirty hours.
He can almost always resurrect them.
It's just that Hode himself didn't expect that Lucifer would actually go to such a distant Planet.
"Then should we go over?"
Wanda looked at Hode with a hesitant expression.
After all, this sounded very far away.
"Let's go, we'll go see the scenery of other Planets, and by the way, bring two friends back!"
If he remembered correctly, Hulk and Banner were on Sakaar right now.
The reason he said two friends was because they were two different personalities.
"Friends?"
Wanda didn't expect Hode to have friends on other Planets.
"You should be very familiar with this one, his name is Banner."
Hode's mouth curled up, and he looked at Wanda.
"What?! Banner is actually on that Planet?!"
This news was really something Wanda hadn't expected.
Although she knew Banner had left Earth, she didn't know exactly where he had gone.
However, she didn't expect that he had actually gone to Sakaar.
And this was exactly the destination of their current mission.
"Can I go along with you?"
Johnny, who was on the side, asked with a hesitant tone.
After all, he also wanted to go deal with that guy Lucifer.
He was already itching to pin Lucifer to the ground and give him a good beating.
"No problem."
Hode didn't refuse; he was actually quite curious about Johnny.
Johnny turning into a skull was indeed quite cool.
"Thank you!"
A smile appeared on the corner of Johnny's mouth.
"Hode, what should be done with this one? Do you still need a woman?"
Just at this moment, Hela looked at Hode and asked, pointing at the Fallen Angel on the ground.
She didn't care about these things, and the appearance of the Angel race was actually quite good.
"No need!!!"
Before Hode could speak, Wanda roared through gritted teeth.
She hadn't forgotten that in other Multiverses, Hode still had entangled relationships with other women.
And she actually wanted to gift him a Fallen Angel?!
"You heard it too."
Hode's mouth twitched, and the expression on his face became somewhat strange.
When Hela said that, he had actually considered whether to let this Fallen Angel work as a housekeeper at his home.
Having an Angel clean and cook would probably feel quite nice.
However, seeing how angry Wanda was, Hode dismissed the idea.
"Oh, then I'll just lock her up for now!"
Hela hooked her right hand, and countless undead instantly imprisoned the Fallen Angel in a cell within the Realm of the Dead.
"Shall we return to Asgard first?"
Hela looked at Hode; if they were going to Sakaar, using the Bifrost Bridge directly would be more convenient.
"That works, after all, this isn't a particularly urgent matter."
Hode spread his hands. He could indeed open a portal directly, but he didn't mind seeing the scenery along the way.
After all, his life was incredibly long; if he didn't see more of it, it would naturally be boring.
"Heimdall!"
Hela looked up and shouted into the sky, and a rainbow pillar of light instantly surrounded the four of them.
When they opened their eyes again, they had already been transported to Sakaar.
However, Sakaar was very different from other Planets.
Usually, the only way to get here was through a wormhole.
"My god, is this even the Universe?!"
Seeing himself floating in the Universe, Johnny was completely bewildered.
And they were surrounded by a dark red light.
The reason Hode did that was entirely because the Universe was exceptionally cold.
And since there was no air, he needed to use the Phoenix Force to distort the surrounding reality.
Enveloped by the dark red energy, Johnny stared at everything around him in shock.
Compared to Earth, the surrounding galaxies seemed dim and lusterless; after all, they were too far away from any luminous galaxies.
There wasn't much light to reflect, and the surroundings were even desolate.
"Let's go, we'll enter through the wormhole!"
Hode pulled with his right hand, and the group was instantly swept into the wormhole.
The moment they rushed out of the wormhole, everything around them changed.
Pulled by gravity, they fell rapidly.
However, Hode, Hela, and Wanda could all fly and instantly stabilized themselves in the air.
Only Johnny, because he couldn't fly, plummeted rapidly from high altitude.
Accompanied by a scream, he crashed heavily into a pile of trash.
However, the group ignored Johnny at this moment and instead looked at the Planet with shocked eyes.
"What is going on here? Why is it like this?"
Wanda widened her eyes, looking at everything in front of her with disbelief.
This Planet was like a super-sized landfill; looking out, it was densely packed with all kinds of trash.
The stench, accompanied by various strange odors, rushed towards them. Looking at the boundless landfill, they were all incredibly shocked.
"Because of the problem of space trash, many Planets simply pack their garbage and stuff it into wormholes."
"As time passes, the amount of trash on this Planet keeps increasing."
"It can be said that most of the people on this Planet barely survive by scavenging."
Hode was not surprised; after all, waste disposal had always been a very difficult problem for the 705u.com-53 Reading Club.
And for some more developed Planets, the cheapest way to handle it was to dump the trash into wormholes.
This not only wouldn't affect the navigation of spaceships, but they also didn't have to worry about the trash polluting the nearby space.
"This is simply..."
Wanda's expression became incredibly strange.
After all, she had never imagined such a situation.
"There's a city over there, let's go take a look!"
Hode noticed a city looming in the distance directly ahead.
Without hesitation, he casually used the Phoenix Force to grab Johnny and flew rapidly towards the city.
But just as they approached the city, a plane made of scrap metal appeared beside them.
"Surrender immediately!"
A ferocious voice came from inside the plane.
Hode saw at a glance that these were scavengers; human trafficking was one of their jobs.
"Hela!"
Hode didn't do it himself.
With just a word, Hela pulled with her right hand, and the plane smashed heavily into a nearby mountain of trash.
Just as she was about to finish off the scavengers inside.
Another plane rushed in from the sky and landed slowly not far away.
When the person on board got off, Hela frowned.
"Hela!"
The person who got off the plane was actually the Valkyrie.
The two were enemies, and when enemies meet, they are especially hostile.
Memories of the past instantly flashed through her mind.
The Valkyrie didn't even say anything, drawing her sword and charging at Hela without hesitation.
In an instant, she reached Hela, raised the longsword in her hand, and slashed down fiercely.
Hela didn't speak, just looked coldly at the Valkyrie.
Her right hand pulled sharply, and countless undead instantly pinned her to the ground.
"Valkyrie, I do not wish to kill you."
Hela spoke slowly in a cold voice.
The current Valkyrie simply could not be her opponent.
[PS: Marvel also has Fallen Angels].
Chapter 139 Hulk became a gladiator star? You want to duel me one-on-one?
"You couldn't beat me so many years ago; do you think you can handle me after all these years?"
Looking at the Valkyrie firmly restrained on the ground, Hela's gaze was calm.
Many years ago, the Valkyrie was dispatched by Odinalong with other Valkyries to suppress her.
However, the strength of those Valkyries was simply not enough to be her opponent, and they were brutally killed by Hela until only the Valkyrie remained.
So the current Valkyrie was the only remaining one.
Even Hela didn't expect that the Valkyrie would appear on this remote Planet.
"If you have the ability, kill me! Otherwise, I will never let you go!"
The Valkyrie gritted her teeth, her eyes red.
The reason she didn't die before was entirely because a companion had blocked a fatal blow for her.
She had always held onto hatred, wanting to finish off Hela.
But she knew very well that she was definitely no match for Hela.
"Regarding what happened back then, I express my regret, but it was merely a means for me to protect myself."
Hela looked at the resentful Valkyrie and said calmly: "Could it be that you are allowed to kill me, but I am not allowed to fight back?"
She knew very well that the reason the Valkyrie was so resentful was entirely because of her own actions.
Although she was indeed violent at that time, it was also human nature.
Facing the people Odin sent to suppress her, she absolutely could not sit idly by and wait for death.
"I..."
When Hela said this, the Valkyrie wanted to retort, but for a moment, she couldn't speak.
Indeed, the reason they were decimated back then was entirely because they followed Odin's orders.
If she were in Hela's position, she would absolutely not have sat idly by and waited for death either.
"You probably don't know, I am now the God King of Asgard."
Hela continued in a calm tone: "I am willing to apologize for what I did back then."
Facing Hela's calm attitude, the Valkyrie was speechless for a moment.
Because she had never imagined that the crazy, violent person would now apologize to her.
The Valkyrie's mouth opened slightly, but she couldn't say a word at this moment.
Because this was completely different from the Hela in her memory; one could even say that she possessed a kind of tolerance that only a King would have.
"Even if you do this, the souls of the departed from back then can never return..."
The Valkyrie gritted her teeth and said in an unwilling tone.
She still remembered the scenes where Hela slaughtered her companions; asking her to let it go now was indeed an extremely difficult thing.
"Even so, I will not kill you."
Hela looked at the Valkyrie in front of her with an indifferent gaze: "If you are willing, you can return to Asgard to serve at any time; I will give you a suitable position."
After speaking, Hela waved her right hand, and the claws on the Valkyrie slowly retracted back to the Realm of the Dead.
"Hode, let's go to that city and take a look!"
Hela didn't continue to pay attention to the Valkyrie; after all, she knew that the Valkyrie needed some time to digest these things.
After all, if her own companions were killed, she would inevitably be just as angry.
However, standing from her own perspective, even if it happened all over again, she could only do the same thing.
"Alright."
Hode did not offer his own opinion on Hela's thoughts.
After all, the Valkyrie had become like this because of those painful memories.
Watching the group stop paying attention to her and turn to leave, the Valkyrie was stunned on the spot for a moment, unable to speak.
She had not expected that the current Hela didn't even intend to finish her off.
After all, the previous Goddess of Death was not someone who would show mercy.
But today, after hearing what Hela said, her heart was deeply impacted.
Because she had never imagined that things would turn out this way.
"Hela, who exactly was that person just now?"
Wanda looked back at the distant Valkyrie, whose eyes were filled with complex emotions, and furrowed her brows.
She saw the hatred in her eyes; although she wasn't a bad person by any means.
But in her view, this kind of potential threat should be dealt with.
"It doesn't matter anymore. This is just one of the mistakes I made back then."
Hela shook her head and said in a calm tone.
No one knows what the future will hold. If it weren't for Hode, she would surely still be trapped in hatred, unable to extricate herself.
Since she had already found redemption, there was no need to deny the mistakes she had made in the past.
As the group walked into the main city of Sakaar, the scene was completely different from what was outside.
If the outside was a desolate junkyard, the inside seemed like a city built of high technology.
Surrounded by skyscrapers, all kinds of spaceships could be seen flying in the sky.
"This is simply incredible."
Wanda looked up, taking in the city standing amidst the ruins, and couldn't help but Marvel inwardly.
"After all, this place was built by the Grandmaster."
Although Hode had already seen it in Marvel, he couldn't help but Marvel when he arrived here.
In a sense, the Grandmaster of Sakaar lived much more comfortably than Odin.
This was completely equivalent to his own World, and even the Valkyrie had been recruited under his command.
As long as it was something he wanted to do, it was basically impossible for him not to be able to do it here.
"Wait, isn't that Banner?"
Wanda suddenly noticed that the videos and posters playing on the surrounding buildings were all images of Hulk.
And there were a few large characters on them: Champion Arena.
Hulk looked completely different from before, as he was now wearing gear and armor resembling that of a gladiator in an ancient Roman arena.
He looked like a well-equipped orc warrior.
"Yes, that's right, but we should call him Hulk now."
The moment Hode saw Hulk, he couldn't help but think of the scene where Hulk and Thor dueled.
The way Thor had reached out his right hand like a fool back then was simply priceless.
The reason he said that was entirely because Banner was not in control of the body right now.
It was Hulk in control, and the Hulk here could truly be described as crushing everyone in his path.
Because of this, there were posters and images of Hulkeverywhere.
"You few, outsiders are not allowed to enter here!"
Just as Hode and his group were about to continue walking forward, several soldiers blocked their path.
They held weapons that looked like sticks, but with circular rings surrounding the tips.
"I have never heard of any place I cannot enter!"
Hode let out a cold snort, and the Phoenix Force instantly erupted.
A terrifying pressure spread outward from Hode.
In that instant, the entire Sakaar could feel this terrifying Phoenix Force.
"You had better not act, this is the Grandmaster's territory!"
The soldiers felt the terrifying pressure on Hode and their expressions changed drastically.
Because Hode's power was far more terrifying than they had imagined.
It could even be said that most gods were not even their match.
But the entity that had appeared this time was completely beyond their expectations.
Just then, a few extremely luxurious spaceships slowly flew out from the tallest building.
When the soldiers saw the spaceships preparing to land at the city gate, they couldn't help but kneel on one knee and place their right hands on their chests in salute.
Because the only person who could ride in this spaceship was their supreme existence, the Grandmaster.
As the spaceship cabin door slowly opened, a white-haired man walked down with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect that Mr. Hode, the wielder of the Phoenix Force, would come to our Sakaar. I truly apologize for not welcoming you properly!"
Although his face was full of smiles, one could see a look of wariness in his eyes.
Actually, he had already received the news when Hodetook action against Thanos.
However, he had never expected Hode to come here.
"Grandmaster, your defenses here are quite strict."
Hode grinned, and the moment their eyes met, he knew.
He guessed that the moment he prepared to enter the city, Valkyrie had reported the news immediately.
The Grandmaster had lived for so many years, so he naturally knew how terrifying the Phoenix Force was.
So, when he was entering the city, he had come out in his spaceship immediately.
It was just that he hadn't expected he still wouldn't make it in time.
"They are just my soldiers; they are ignorant and didn't know your identity."
The Grandmaster smiled and bowed slightly.
At this moment, the surrounding soldiers saw this scene, and their eyes almost popped out in shock.
It was the first time they had ever seen the Grandmastergreet someone so humbly for the "705u.com-53 Reading Club".
"Let's go. I'm quite interested in your Planet."
Hode didn't mind and gestured for everyone to walk directly onto the spaceship.
The Grandmaster looked up at Hode's back, his eyes showing a touch of helplessness.
He was indeed very strong, that was true, but he didn't think he could deal with a monster like this.
This was the person who had beaten up Odin and then dealt with Thanos.
Although he didn't kill Thanos with his own hands, he was very clear that the reason Thanos was defeated by Helawas entirely because Hode had taken away the Infinity Gauntlet.
So he didn't want to offend Hode, unless he had water in his brain.
"The facilities inside look so advanced!"
Wanda looked at the screens on the spaceship and couldn't help but Marvel inwardly.
She had always thought that Tony's Base was already very high-tech.
But when she came here, she couldn't help but be shocked.
It could even be said that holographic projections could be seen everywhere.
As the spaceship started, after it reached the tallest building, it actually docked directly into it, becoming part of the building.
And the surface of the spaceship opened slowly, looking perfectly seamless.
"Someone, hurry and prepare a grand banquet for our distinguished guests."
After the spaceship stopped, the Grandmaster did not hesitate to order his people to prepare a banquet.
He only hoped now to take good care of this god of slaughter, and then quickly ask him to leave.
Don't let him cause any trouble on his Sakaar.
"No rush, eating can wait. After all, I came here for something else."
Hode walked up to a decoration and picked up a floating mechanical device to examine it.
"What is it you need? I will do my best to arrange and resolve it for you."
The Grandmaster asked with a look of confusion.
Although he knew people don't visit without a reason, he really couldn't guess what this being in front of him intended to do by showing up suddenly.
"We are here to find Lucifer!"
Johnny couldn't hold back anymore and hurriedly stated the purpose of their trip.
He couldn't wait to pin Lucifer to the ground and give him a good thrashing.
"Lucifer?"
When the Grandmaster learned of this, his expression immediately became extremely awkward: "I'm not too sure about that..."
Lucifer was a distinguished guest here.
Hode's group was clearly aggressive, so he couldn't just stand by and hand Lucifer over.
Otherwise, who would come to be a guest here in the future?
"How could you not know? We have already received the news!"
Johnny flared up in an instant; after all, this was what the Fallen Angel had told them.
Under those circumstances, the Fallen Angel would never dare to deceive them.
"But I really don't know..."
The Grandmaster twitched his lips, forcing a smile.
He had a reputation to maintain, so how could he admit it?
"Grandmaster, you've returned!"
But just at this moment, a man in a black suit pushed open the door.
When he saw the scene inside, Lucifer's expression immediately became extremely grave.
He never expected that Johnny would appear here.
"Lucifer, you've been hiding quite well!"
Johnny's eyes flashed with anger, and the skin on his body slowly dissipated.
In the blink of an eye, he turned into a terrifying flaming skeleton.
"How are you here, you guy!"
Lucifer gritted his teeth, his face full of disbelief.
He really didn't expect that Johnny would chase him all the way here.
"Didn't you say that Lucifer wasn't here? How do you explain this!"
Johnny gripped the chains on his body and questioned the Grandmaster without looking back.
"Two distinguished guests, please do not start a fight here; this is the palace."
The Grandmaster secretly glanced at the indifferent Hodebefore changing the subject.
He didn't want these two people to start fighting inside his palace.
Although this palace didn't have much value to him, it was a matter of his face.
It was because of this that he took the initiative to stop them.
"Since that's the case, why not let the two of them go to the Champion Arena!"
Hode's mouth curled up slightly, clearly looking like he wanted to stir up trouble.
"That probably wouldn't be appropriate..."
The Grandmaster's face looked ugly; Lucifer was, after all, his distinguished guest.
If he let his distinguished guest go down to the arena to duel, it would not be appropriate in any respect.
"Is this not appropriate? Or does the friend I brought not count as your distinguished guest?"
When Hode spoke, his face wore a clearly insincere smile.
Then, he paused for a moment before speaking unhurriedly: "If he doesn't count as your distinguished guest, then I surely should, right? Do you need me to go down there?"
Once these words were spoken, the Grandmaster's expression changed drastically.
He dared not let this person go down there; not to mention anything else, if he were to really go down...
It was estimated that the entire Planet would be directly destroyed by Hode.
"No, no, no, I actually think this is a very good plan."
The Grandmaster immediately changed his tune.
He truly had no other choice; rather than letting this terrifying existence go down and cause a scene...
It would be better to let Johnny and Lucifer have a fight.
Although it would damage Lucifer's reputation, it would at least save Sakaar.
"No, I will absolutely not agree to this!"
Lucifer's expression changed, and he spoke with a grave tone.
He knew very well that those competing in the arena were just some low-class things.
It could even be said that they were all tools for everyone's amusement.
How could he possibly agree to become a tool and go up to fight Johnny?
This would simply damage his dignity.
"Oh? You actually don't agree?"
Hearing this, Hode's lips curled up slightly, and the oppressive force of the Phoenix Force gushed out from his body.
"What... is this power!"
The moment Lucifer felt this power, he was directly pressed down and fell to his knees on the ground.
"I ask you, do you agree or not?"
Hode walked up to Lucifer and asked with a faint smile.
At this moment, Lucifer had no choice at all and could only grit his teeth and nod: "I agree!"
Chapter 140: Slaughter in the arena, Ghost Rider Johnnyinstantly modifies a spaceship! The whole audience is stunned!
The arena was the most famous entertainment center on Sakaar.
Countless people gathered here, cheering loudly, with expressions of excitement on everyone's faces.
They would see the most intense battles here.
This was like a modern version of the Roman Colosseum, with over a dozen spaceships constantly filming the scenes in the arena from above.
It could be said that they could basically see the combat scenes in the arena from every angle without any blind spots.
They were all waiting for the upcoming battle, and everyone's face wore an excited smile.
At this moment, there was no pity in their eyes; all that could be seen was excitement and slaughter.
And inside the walls below the arena, quite a few gladiators watched the scenes above with eyes full of despair.
For those rich and powerful people, this was naturally a wonderful feast.
But for them, this was simply despair.
After all, once they stepped onto the field, even former good brothers would become mortal enemies.
They had seen too much tragedy, so their eyes were filled with a thick, deathly pallor.
What terrified them even more was that they didn't know where the Grandmaster had recently found a monster.
Named the Invincible Hulk, the appearance of this monster left them with absolutely no desire to resist.
It could be said that since the appearance of Hulk, every battle had basically been a one-sided crushing victory.
Whoever was chosen, even if they were very strong, would end up as a meat patty in the end.
Even if they were lucky enough not to die on the field, they would at least have to lie in bed for a year or so.
"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death!"
As the screens turned on, everyone couldn't help but let out a unified shout.
They were already impatient to see the scene of life-and-death struggle.
Moreover, they had heard that Hulk would also be playing today.
Once Hulk stepped onto the field, they would see the most violent scenes.
Although there were many strong opponents, in their opinion, no one was stronger than Hulk.
And just at this moment, the Grandmaster's hologram appeared in the center of the arena.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to share some good news with you all!"
The Grandmaster said slowly with a smile: "That is, today we will have new contestants taking the stage!"
Once these words were spoken, the scene immediately erupted into excited cheers.
They all knew that this impromptu match would definitely be much better than they imagined.
After all, the reason Hulk played previously was because he was also arranged to play on the spot, and he became an instant hit.
"I don't know what kind of monster it is this time!"
"Maybe it's as strong as the Invincible Hulk!"
"If that's the case, then it would simply be too exciting!"
"It's impossible for any gladiator to be stronger than Hulk!"
"..."
The audience was discussing it fervently.
After all, having watched so many matches, only Hulk's matches were the most impactful.
It could be said that when Hulk played, the scene would always witness extremely terrifying destruction.
"This time it is a battle between my distinguished guests!"
After the Grandmaster finished speaking, he waved his right hand, and the gate on one side below slowly opened.
Johnny walked out slowly, and when he saw the scene inside, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
At this moment, he actually felt like he was a monkey, being watched by these damn guys.
"This is my distinguished guest, the Fire Skeleton!"
The Grandmaster's hologram pointed at Johnny and said.
The corner of Johnny's mouth twitched slightly; he was clearly called Ghost Rider, yet here he was actually called the Fire Skeleton.
After the Grandmaster said this, everyone present began to observe the thin figure on the field.
Looking at Johnny's frail appearance, they couldn't help but boo.
"What's fun about watching someone as skinny as a rib!"
"And Fire Skeleton? This doesn't look like a skeleton at all!"
"Did you run out of suitable contestants? To actually let this kind of thing come up!"
"It seems this match won't be worth watching!"
"..."
After all, in their eyes, the bigger the build, the higher the entertainment value.
Just like Hulk, whose massive size brought extremely strong oppression.
Although there were other gladiators in the arena with big builds, they definitely couldn't compare to Hulk.
Facing the booing from the surroundings, Johnny just frowned slightly, his eyes staring straight at the gate on the opposite side.
And after the Grandmaster waited for the crowd to quiet down a bit, he continued to announce.
"And our other distinguished guest is the Fallen AngelLucifer, who fell from Heaven to Hell!"
"He was previously a six-winged Angel, possessing a pair of Wings of Light, a pair of Wings of Fire, and a pair of Wings of Feathers, and his strength is extremely formidable!"
"And he is also a Seraph, having once slaughtered countless demons!"
As the gate opened, Lucifer was seen standing there with a strange expression.
Seeing the excited and agitated audience around him, his eyes were filled with disgust.
He never expected that he would one day be treated like an animal.
If it weren't for Hode's terrifying power, he would absolutely not have agreed.
He looked at Johnny in the distance, his eyes filled with disgust.
If this guy hadn't appeared here, he would still be sitting in the audience, tasting fine wine and watching the gladiators' matches.
As the Grandmaster announced Lucifer's achievements, everyone present let out a round of cheers.
After all, some people had heard of the existence of Angels, and this was actually a six-winged Angel.
This meant that Lucifer's strength was extremely powerful; although he had fallen to Hell, his strength certainly hadn't regressed.
"Good! This time I'm betting on this Fallen Angel named Lucifer!"
"Don't let me down! Whether I can live a good life for the next month depends on you!"
"I didn't expect that even the Grandmaster's distinguished guests would personally go down to the field; this time it must be very exciting!"
"That Fire Skeleton will definitely be massacred one-sidedly; let's finish it quickly and move to the next match!"
"..."
After all, Lucifer's name sounded much more powerful just by hearing it.
Therefore, the vast majority of them placed their bets on Lucifer.
At this moment, the audience was excited to the extreme.
And in a box above.
"Can Johnny really handle Lucifer?"
Wanda asked with a worried expression.
After all, this was completely different from her previous thoughts.
Originally, she had thought that after coming over and finding Lucifer, she would directly subdue and deal with Lucifer.
She didn't expect that they would go directly to the arena to compete.
"It's hard to say; Lucifer's strength is much stronger than Johnny's!"
"Because Lucifer was once a six-winged Archangel; although he is a Fallen Angel now, his strength hasn't decreased too much!"
Hela took a deep breath; she had heard of Lucifer's name.
Compared to Johnny, to be honest, she favored Lucifermore.
After all, Lucifer's fame over the years was not just for show.
"Actually, that's not necessarily the case."
Hode crossed his arms and leaned back against the chair, speaking in a calm voice.
Only he knew that Johnny's identity was not that simple.
Although Johnny was currently the Ghost Rider of sin.
But in reality, that irritable soul inside this guy came from Heaven.
In other words, the soul inside Johnny is also an Angel.
Although they are both Angels, Johnny has received the blessing of power from both sides.
So, who will win and who will lose, it's really hard to say.
Moreover, he could also see that Johnny was now just one step away from the Blue Fire.
"Mr. Hode, since that's the case, would you like to place a bet?"
The Grandmaster smirked, a look of excitement on his face as he encouraged everyone to place their bets.
Having lived for countless years, this was his only remaining hobby.
It was for this very reason that he had specifically built this arena.
His goal was to watch the gamblers place their bets; that was what brought him the most joy.
"Place bets?"
Wanda had not expected the Grandmaster to bring this up voluntarily.
"Yes, this is a massive entertainment complex, so all our distinguished guests are naturally welcome to place bets."
"Furthermore, if you do not have enough funds on hand, we also facilitate the exchange of goods here!"
The Grandmaster grinned, looking at the group with a smile.
After all, there were many people here from different Planets, and currency circulation was often inconvenient.
Therefore, they allowed for barter here, converting the value of items into currency.
Of course, once the results of the match were out, one could use that currency to purchase whatever they desired.
Since they had so many spectators, they had indeed received quite a large number of items.
There were even many weapons produced on the Dwarf Planet; it was well known that weapons from there were highly sought after by many.
Because of this, the betting amounts were quite substantial.
"Then help me place a bet on Johnny!"
Hode casually retrieved a bottle from his system.
"This bottle contains an infinite source of Water; you can estimate its value first!"
As he spoke, he opened the water bottle and turned it upside down.
Although the water flow was only as large as a faucet, it was quite interesting.
"This treasure can be converted into one billion units of Sakaar currency!"
The Grandmaster's eyes lit up when he saw the water bottle.
Although the amount of water coming out wasn't much, its advantage lay in the fact that the supply was endless.
For some arid Planets, this was an incredibly rare treasure.
"Then help me place a bet of three hundred million."
Hode nodded nonchalantly.
After all, there were still many such system items.
Besides, this water bottle was of no real use to him.
Although it had infinite water, he was already capable of altering reality.
It wouldn't even be a problem for him to turn everything on a Planet into water resources.
"Then I also want to bet three hundred million on Johnny!"
Wanda raised her hand, saying with an eager expression.
After all, Johnny was a friend they had brought along, so she naturally had to bet on her friend.
"Johnny? Very well."
The Grandmaster's expression stiffened. After hesitating for a moment, he continued, "Then I will also bet on Johnny."
In truth, he didn't think much of Johnny at all; after all, Johnny looked far too weak.
--- 0 Ask for flowers --- 0
However, because Hode stood so firmly on Johnny's side, he naturally had no choice but to follow suit.
He didn't want to offend Hode over a small amount of money.
"Hela, what about you?"
Hode cast his gaze toward Hela.
Now, Hela was the only one left who hadn't placed a bet.
Hela stroked her chin, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I choose Lucifer."
Although she didn't like that guy Lucifer, the possibility of Lucifer winning was clearly much higher.
"Then I will have someone place the bets now!"
After the Grandmaster sent the servant beside him away, the group looked down at the arena floor below.
"Lucifer, today I am going to make you return to hell!"
Johnny stretched his limbs and walked step by step toward Lucifer.
"Naive. Do you think your power can contend with mine?!"
There was disdain in Lucifer's eyes, although he knew Johnny's strength was not bad.
But to him, it was merely a bit troublesome.
"How would I know without trying!"
Johnny gritted his teeth and violently swung the chains wrapped around his body.
The flames on his body erupted instantly, and the flesh on his body slowly disappeared under the burning of Hellfire.
The chains in his hands instantly looked as if they had been scorched by fire.
The red-hot chains, resembling branding irons, flew instantly toward Lucifer in the distance.
"A foolish move!"
Lucifer snorted coldly, and the suit on his body tore open violently.
Three pairs of black wings instantly sprouted from his flesh.
The wings were fully five meters long, and with just a forceful flap.
A terrifying hurricane suddenly whipped up around them, and as the hurricane blew.
The chains were actually blown away directly.
"You are nothing but a lowly insect!"
Lucifer slammed his wings and rushed toward Johnny, skimming just above the ground.
After grabbing Johnny by the neck, he flapped his wings violently and flew vertically into the sky.
Johnny endured the pain and grabbed Lucifer's abdomen with both hands, the terrifying Hellfire rapidly scorching Lucifer's body.
This intense pain made Lucifer grit his teeth; the agony was so great that he could hardly catch his breath.
Moreover, what he hadn't expected was that no matter how hard he tried, Johnny held onto his body tightly and would not let go.
"Get off me!"
Lucifer kicked out violently, sending Johnny flying.
Johnny was seen falling rapidly from high in the sky.
This scene caused the spectators present to let out excited screams.
In an instant, the entire arena was in an uproar.
It was as if they had already seen what Johnny would look like when he crashed into the ground and died.
But just at this moment, Johnny violently swung the chains in his hands.
The chains, like a swimming snake, directly locked onto Lucifer's right foot.
With this violent tug, even Lucifer was pulled down.
If it weren't for those six wings flapping constantly, both of them would have crashed down.
"You damn lunatic!"
Lucifer's eyes were filled with rage, and his right hand suddenly grabbed into the void.
He actually grabbed Johnny directly out of thin air.
He then pulled him up violently, his hands suffused with a golden light.
He struck Johnny's abdomen rapidly; with every blow, scorching lava spewed from Johnny's mouth.
When this lava splattered onto Lucifer's clothes, it left little burn marks.
As Lucifer continued his attacks, Johnny was unable to even resist for a moment.
And Lucifer hadn't forgotten about the chains on his ankle.
Golden light enveloped the chains, constantly forcing them to loosen.
And at this moment, Johnny's consciousness had become somewhat hazy.
With the effect of the golden light, the iron chains finally broke free from Lucifer's ankle.
And the next second, Lucifer spun around once in the air and threw Johnny away.
To prevent what happened just a moment ago, he even put some distance between them immediately.
"It's over!"
Wanda saw the flames on Johnny's head were about to dissipate, and she could also see that Johnny was in very bad shape.
At this moment, a joyful smile also appeared on the Grandmaster's face.
After all, this was Hode's own choice.
Hode, however, watched the falling Johnny calmly.
And just then, the flames on Johnny's head erupted violently.
His gaze focused on a spaceship that was filming not far away.
He threw the chains violently, and they actually locked onto the spaceship directly.
With a forceful pull, he jumped onto the top of the spaceship.
This scene shocked everyone.
And just then, Johnny let out a roar, and the flames followed his feet, instantly enveloping the spaceship below.
As the spaceship transformed, it turned into a steel skull spaceship.
At the same time, it rushed rapidly toward Lucifer not far away.
"The Joker has so many tricks!"
Lucifer's body radiated golden light, and he pulled violently.
The spaceship was actually pulled and smashed directly into the ground!
Boom!
With a loud bang, the scene instantly went quiet.
