When Richard caught Ghost Rider and handed him over to Gabriel, he thought it was over. The reason for the war between Heaven and Hell was first rumored to have found a way to resurrect the elemental demons. And now that the demon has fallen into the hands of heaven, there should be no reason for it to continue fighting, right?

Although the devils in hell are arrogant, everyone knows that they don't have the courage to go to heaven to stir up trouble. Not to mention that the devil's dimension is too dependent on hell, and it is difficult to exert some combat power when they reach heaven, even if their strength is not reduced, and they all run to heaven with full strength and full state, then they are not enough for God and his old man to stuff their teeth.

The existence of hell helps to balance the heavens, but in fact, if you really fight recklessly, the number of devils will double, and there is no chance of winning.

However, Richard still overestimated the archangel's ability to do things, or to put it another way, he underestimated the cunning of the devil.

Not long after taking Johnny from Richard, Archangel Gabriel quickly set up a complex ** array, threw Johnny into the center of the circle and began to brew complex large-scale spells.

It is an extremely complex and precision-intensive high-level magic designed to extract the source of Ghost Rider's power from Johnny's body. Gabriel believes that the vengeful spirit, now fused with demons, has long since strayed from God's original purpose of creation, and that she wants to extract this power and bring it back to heaven for judgment.

Since spells are so risky that any slightest distraction and resistance can cause failure, she wakes Johnny up and tricks him into helping her suppress the power of evil spirits during the ritual.

It may be that the archangel's haunting appearance of flapping wings is too convincing, or it may be because of her appearance that adds to Johnny's judgment. After all, it is clear who is the good guy and who is the bad guy compared to such a good-looking angel girl and a skull on fire, plus Johnny has long wanted to get rid of the curse of the evil ghost rider, so he agreed without much thought.

Then it's time for Gabriel to be pitted.

The plan started off well. The magic of the archangel suppressed the power of the evil spirit, and coupled with the suppression of Johnny's own will, the evil spirit rider was suppressed several times in his transformation.

At one point, the flesh and skin of Johnny's face were burned by the flames, revealing Bai Sensen's bones, but in the end, he was unexpectedly suppressed by his roar.

Zatanos roared angrily inside Johnny, yelling in his ear, but completely powerless. He may have been a strong man at the beginning, but now Zatanos is nothing more than a soul fragment, powerless in front of Gabriel, who is a quasi-Heavenly Father. The Demon Lord's fragments, along with the power of the Vengeful Spirit, were slowly pulled out of Johnny's body, gradually detached from the depths of his soul......

But what Gabriel didn't expect was that there was more to be separated from it, than that, there were some more powerful, cold, and intensely murderous energies.

Gabriel was engrossed in casting the spell, completely unexpected. A long, black line of fire shot out from the shards that had been stripped from Johnny's body, and Gabriel was unsuspectingly hit head-on and sent flying with his head up, opening his mouth and spewing out a mouthful of blood.

The angel's magic power was suddenly weakened a lot, and the enchantment built by the entire circle was also weakened a lot. At this time, the demon had escaped Johnny's body, and under the weakening of the suppressed magic, he became irritable. The demon turned into a translucent phantus and swirled around the spell barrier, violently impacting the enveloping barrier again and again, each impact dimming the white light a little.

The corners of Gabriel's mouth were stained with blood, and he took two deep breaths and stood up, trying his best to suppress the injury and adjust to the best state.

There was a strong cramp in her chest, something cold like a sharp knife corroding her body, an energy that was completely repulsed by her holy angelic body. The person who laid the trap must have anticipated that she would choose to drain Zatanos's power, so set the trap to "be activated as soon as it is separated from the host".

As for the identity of this trickster, she had more or less guessed it.

Some pitch-black substance emerges out of thin air, like a drop of ink on a white tissue, and spreads through the space with difficulty and slowly, forming a hazy vortex.

It was like a door, and the other end of the door was filled with death and despair, leaving no place for the living.

It's hell on that side.

An old man dressed in black and wearing a top hat walked out slowly from the other side, holding a black wooden cane in his hand. His old face was wrinkled like orange peel, his eyes were sly, and his expression was triumphant.

"Archangel of the water element, I'm glad to meet you." The old man smiled, "Looks like you've received my 'gift'." ”

Gabriel struggled to make her injuries look less serious, gritting her teeth, almost squeezing out the devil's terrifying name: "Mephisto." ”

Lao Mo smiled lightly, which was counted as a promise.

"So it's all your plan? You've already laid this trap on him? Gabriel frowned and asked, "Let me capture the Ghost Rider and let me separate Zatanus from this mortal so that you can seriously injure me?" ”

"And so that you can help me separate the spirit of this demon...... Well...... Other than that, yes, that's pretty much it. Mephisto nodded slowly.

Zatanos's phantom was still roaring in annoyance, still swinging his fist at Mephisto's location, each punch shaking the white light barrier to the ground.

Gabriel glanced at it and couldn't help frowning, "They said you want to resurrect the Elemental Demon and make it your ally...... But now it doesn't seem like you're on good terms. It seems that if Zatanos were to be resurrected, the first thing he would do would be to devour you. ”

The old man smiled lightly.

"Of course. He and I are of the same essence and both love mortal souls. But as we all know, there are only so many mortal souls in total, so conflict is inevitable. "So he and I couldn't have coexisted from the very beginning, and only one of us could exist in the world." ”

"Then why ......?"

"Because, Your Excellency the Archangel, it is clear that you have also been misled by rumors—of course, I have deliberately guided you." Mephisto's wooden staff twirled twice in his hand and said, "Because I didn't think about resurrecting this demon from the beginning, not at all. All along, all I wanted was to devour him and gain more power than ever before, strong enough to challenge the authority of your Supreme Being. ”

Gabriel's eyes narrowed, his wings spread, and he confronted him under the pressure of his injuries.

"That's not going to happen." She muttered, "I won't be able to watch it." ”

Mephisto laughed.

"I'm sorry, but you seem to have misunderstood something, Your Excellency the Archangel."

Mephisto said as he stepped forward slowly, pointing at Gabriel with his swarthy staff.

"In fact, I'm going to invite you to witness it for yourself."
