"I smell it!"
"The mark left by My Lord, My dear father, that must be the vessel he wants to possess, right?!"
"Now I will completely destroy him!"
"Come out, all of you!"
At this moment, in a cemetery, Blackheart, who was sitting on a tombstone, suddenly jumped down and spoke to the air beside him.
The next moment, the ground suddenly bulged, and a fellow made entirely of mud gradually took shape.
Beside a small puddle the size of a palm, a long-haired man, soaking wet, also emerged.
Above the sky, a strange wind blew, and like a tornado, it poured into the ground, and another person appeared.
Finally, a black mist drifted over, and the surrounding tombstones brushed by the black mist began to weather and decay as if they had endured the vicissitudes of time.
The black mist condensed into a pale, sinister man with white hair.
They were the helpers Blackheart had summoned from hell: Earth Demon, Shui Mo (Water Demon), Wind Demon, and the strongest, Decay Demon.
"Blackheart My Lord, have you found that fellow?"
Wind Demon asked Blackheart.
"I don't know what method that fellow used to hide the scent of the mark some time ago, but now he absolutely cannot escape!"
"Let's go! Come with me to find him, destroy it, and send a surprise to My Lord, My muddled father."
After Blackheart finished speaking, he transformed into a wisp of black smoke and followed the scent towards Shen Mu's location.
The other four demons followed suit, each in their own form, closely trailing behind Blackheart.
Since it was daytime, Barton Blaze, who had not yet adapted to the Ghost Rider's power, had already returned to human form.
He was now completely unaware of everything that happened after he transformed into Ghost Rider.
Every time he felt his body ignite, he would lose all consciousness afterward.
However, the only thing he remembered was that he had made a deal with the devil, selling his soul.
Therefore, although his legs were indeed healed now, he could no longer go back to face his wife, children, and friends.
A more important reason was that he was afraid he would do things that even he found terrifying under Mephisto's incitement, harming them.
So, he could only watch his wife and children from afar when he was conscious.
But, suddenly, his body underwent a change.
Because the entity within him also smelled the scent of Mephisto's mark emanating from Shen Mu.
"Damn it! It's happening again, but it's daytime now!"
"Ah!"
Tiny sparks overflowed from Barton's body; he had not yet formally accepted the power of the Ghost Rider, so he still felt immense pain during the transformation.
Each time, he could feel the intense pain of his body being slowly burned away.
In Barton's heart, perhaps this was the price of his deal with the devil.
To live forever in this tormenting pain.
"Boom!"
When the transformation was completely finished, the motorcycle beneath Barton had been waiting for a long time.
After a huge roar, a scorched trail was left on the ground, extending into the distance.
Soon, Ghost Rider passed through sparsely populated areas and entered the city.
And his whereabouts along the way had already attracted human attention.
"It's that flaming skeleton monster, he actually appeared in broad daylight!"
"Run, or he'll kill you."
"No, he is a righteous knight sent by God, here to purify the evil of this World."
… …
Recently, news about the flaming skeleton monster killing people has been rampant.
Originally, this fellow always appeared at night, but now he could even appear in the scorching sun!
However, what was somewhat surprising was that all the people killed by this skeleton monster were notorious scoundrels.
Therefore, there were different opinions on the evaluation of Ghost Rider.
Some fanatical religious zealots regarded him as the purifying fire sent by God to cleanse the World, developing a different kind of worship for him.
Others, however, believed that such a monster, no matter who he killed, could not conceal his tyrannical actions.
Those who had committed evil were filled with fear, because they did not know if they would be the next one the monster found.
So, no one dared to stop such a skeleton monster enveloped in flames.
Even the Police were the same.
Because not long ago, since this monster appeared, the Police had already organized a large number of Police forces to carry out an extermination operation against it.
However, all the thermal weapons they possessed could not cause any damage to Ghost Rider.
Even the bullets they fired were eaten by him, and then he spat out a mouthful of molten iron.
They tried to extinguish the flames on Ghost Rider's body.
But, to their horror, the Water they sprayed not only did not extinguish the flames, but was instead ignited by the Fire!
As if it wasn't Water but oil!
"Jesus above, is the World really going to be destroyed! Why do such monsters appear one after another."
Some pessimistic people, after connecting a series of recent events, felt that this might be the prelude to the World's destruction.
Some doomsday cults also began to become active at this time.
At this moment, in a helicopter following behind Ghost Rider, a commander-like figure immediately issued an order into the walkie-talkie:
"This monster seems to be purposefully heading somewhere; immediately notify technical personnel to simulate his movement trajectory and deduce his destination."
"This time, we must eliminate this fellow."
Such a supernatural monster swaggering through the city, not to mention the damage it caused, the public panic it aroused was the most important thing.
"Some hellish bugs are crawling towards you!"
"And Mephisto, that old devil's most prized tool, Ghost Rider, is also heading this way."
At this time, Ancient One said to Shen Mu with a strange expression.
She really wanted to know what kind of expression these hellish bugs, who didn't know their own limits, would have when they realized what kind of existence they were about to face.
"Bugs, just swat them dead!"
"Sorcerer Ancient One, are you interested in staying to kill a couple of bugs to relieve boredom?"
Shen Mu raised an eyebrow and said.
"These bugs are all looking for you, I won't disturb your pleasure!"
"By the way, if you have time, I wonder if you could come to Kamar-Taj sometime; Vishanti My Lord wants to meet you!"
At this time, Ancient One suddenly extended an invitation to Shen Mu on behalf of her boss.
"Vishanti, he wants to see me, could it be that he really wants me to take over your position as Sorcerer Supreme."
Shen Mu couldn't figure out what Ancient One's boss wanted to see him for.
However, this did not prevent him from going to see what the high-end combat power of this Universe was like.
"After I deal with the current matters, I will go to see your boss behind the scenes."
After receiving Shen Mu's reply, Ancient One also had no interest in seeing the fate of a few bugs and left directly.
