Chapter 450: Hell Returns
Johnny ......
"Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny Blazer......"
"Johnny Blazer!"
New York, suburbs, amusement parks.
With the departure of the amusement group, Johnny is the only one left alone in the originally lively park.
At night, the entire amusement park site is gloomy, but Johnny is not afraid of it.
After all, if there really were any ghosts or the like in the park, for Ghost Rider, it would be a complete collision into the muzzle of a gun.
After sleeping in the undemolished locomotive depot and being sent back to Hell by Mephistopheles by the eccentric mages he had seen earlier, Johnny began to question his actions as a ghost rider.
He resisted the urge of Ghost Rider to rush into New York in search of evil spirits as a flaming skeleton as he had done in the past.
Lying in the dark locomotive warehouse without a trace of light, suddenly from Johnny's ears, a series of low and hoarse voices began to sound continuously.
Under the call of these voices, Johnny's body, the originally suppressed hellfire began to turn into sparkling fires.
"Who is it?!"
Under these hoarse cries, Johnny only felt his body getting hotter and hotter in his sleep, as if there was a stove constantly emitting endless heat in his body.
Under the urging of this heat, Johnny got up from the bed, and in an instant, a burst of fire burst from his features.
Under the scorching heat of a large amount of hellfire, Johnny's flesh and blood turned directly into ashes, and in the blink of an eye, he changed from his original human appearance to the evil ghost rider wrapped in flames.
"It looks like you've been a little lazy with Johnny during my time back in Hell."
In Johnny, no, Ghost Rider's empty eyes, two balls of hellfire flickered in them, followed by his gaze.
I saw that a shadow in the locomotive warehouse was getting longer and longer, and finally formed a familiar middle-aged man's appearance.
Mephistopheles looked at the Ghost Rider in front of him, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said lightly.
"Mephistopheles, haven't you been sent back to hell?"
Because of the hellfire, Ghost Rider's emotions were burned, so even if Mephistopheles reappeared in front of him, he still maintained a cold tone.
"I said I would come back again."
Faced with the Ghost Rider's questioning, Mephistopheles walked to the side, picked up a chair and sat down with ease.
"I have been walking in the world for thousands of years, and I have seen more than one mage, and I know their tricks very well, so I naturally have a way to deal with them."
"What's more, as a demon, I've always been used to keeping a hand in case I need it, it's not as good as the situation in front of me."
"Aren't you afraid that the mage will come again?"
Ghost Rider's words made Mephistopheles's eyes flash with a look of wariness.
However, soon, the demon retracted the expression on his face and said in a clear tone: "Don't worry, the Supreme Mage has more important matters to deal with, in fact, I have already sensed it through a certain great power, and the situation of the Supreme Mage is not optimistic. ”
After briefly revealing a little about the Supreme Mage, Mephistopheles immediately turned the conversation back to the Ghost Knight in front of him.
"There are more important things to deal with right now than that."
Standing up from his chair, Mephistopheles' figure shook and came to the Ghost Rider like a black phantom.
Looking directly at the skeleton in front of him, which was not only burning under the raging flames, the dark pupils in Mephistopheles' eyes flashed with a hint of evil.
"All these days back in Hell, I happened to know something that surprised me."
Raising his palm, a dark and hideous figure immediately appeared from Mephistopheles's palm, looking at the impression changed in his hand, Mephistopheles hooked the corners of his mouth, and said in an inexplicable tone: "My son, Black Heart seems to have seized the opportunity of me to be sent back to hell, secretly bewitched humans through rituals to come to people's homes, and also did something that I can't forgive." ”
"Blackheart?"
Hearing Mephistopheles' description, Ghost Rider's empty eyes turned in the direction of his palm, looking at the vivid and realistic image above.
That hideous appearance is really like a demon in hell.
Reaching out to extinguish the image of the black heart in his hand, Mephistopheles continued in a cold and ruthless tone: "Although, I knew the thoughts of the black heart from the beginning, as a demon of hell, he has strong ambitions and peeps into my position as a demon monarch, however, the huge disparity in strength has allowed it to lurk these thoughts until this time after I was sent back to hell by the Supreme Mage. ”
"What do you need me to do?"
As for the relationship between Mephistopheles and Blackheart, Ghost Rider doesn't care.
"I need you to find that before the Black Heart."
"What's that?"
"The Pact of St. Van Gonza."
Looking directly into the empty eyes of the Ghost Rider, Mephistopheles said word by word.
"I suspect that Blackheart must have sent someone to find the St. Van Gonza contract for it, it knows that I will come back from hell, so it will not look for it myself, it will definitely find a guy who can replace itself, and find the contract, as long as it can find the contract to absorb the soul inside, it will get rid of the shackles of hell and stay in the world completely."
"Since the Covenant of Saint Van Gonza has such great power, why don't you keep it for yourself."
Hearing Mephistopheles' description of the Saint Van Gonza Contract, Ghost Knight couldn't help but ask.
"Because of the contract, I can't use too much power in the human world, otherwise it will easily attract the attention of heaven."
Twisting his face, Mephistopheles replied in a strange tone: "Moreover, my power is tied to hell, and the Saint Van Gonza Pact is mine, so why should I covet my own things." ”
"Soon, this thing won't belong to you."
Hearing Mephistopheles's words, Ghost Rider said coldly.
"No, I'm not going to let that happen, in fact, I don't think you will, Johnny."
In the face of Johnny's taunt, Mephistopheles's fingers flicked slightly, and in the next moment, he saw the soul of a middle-aged man flash from the demon's fingertips.
"Claush!"
Looking at the figure flashing from Mephistopheles' fingertips, the flames in Ghost Rider's empty eyes flickered suddenly.
Seeing the reaction of the Ghost Rider in front of him, the smile on Mephistopheles' lips became more and more obvious.
"I think, next, you should know what to do Johnny, the St. Van Gonza contract has not been found by the black-hearted person, I need you to go over and get the St. Van Gonza contract in your hands, and then give it to me."
"But I don't know where the contract is?"
Suppressing the flickering flames in his eyes, Ghost Rider looked at Mephistopheles and said coldly.
"The contract is in the hands of the previous generation of Ghost Riders, and I think that through the hellfire in your body, you will be able to guide the other party."
Revealing the last message to Johnny in front of him, Mephistopheles' original shadow began to dissipate, and finally turned into a shadow on the ground again in front of Ghost Rider's eyes.
"Bring the contract back here, Johnny."
Standing in the locomotive warehouse, the flames in the eyes of the Ghost Rider stirred up.
He remembered the reminder that the Supreme Mage had made to him before.
Boom, boom –
In the next moment, a low roar sounded from inside the amusement park.
Then, in the midst of the firelight, a blazing Harley-Davidson locomotive sped out.
……
"Johnny?"
In the Avengers Building, the crimson figure looked at Susan in front of him, with obvious doubts on his face,
"That's right, Johnny Thunderbolt, that's your name."
Although, compared with the younger brother in his memory, Johnny in front of him has completely changed, but Susan still vaguely sees the appearance of her younger brother Johnny from the other party's red face.
For changes such as appearance mutation, after experiencing the incident of the stone human, Susan obviously has a lot of resistance, after all, even stones can be mutated, and simply changing the color of the skin is not something to make a fuss about.
"Thunderbolt?"
He muttered a repetition of everything Susan had told.
The figure glanced down at his red palm, then looked up at Susan with an expectant look on her face, and finally shook her head lightly and said with some apologies.
"I'm sorry, but I don't have any impression of what you said."
"What the hell is going on?"
On the other side, the Avengers looked at the familiar but unfamiliar figure in front of them, and they were also stunned.
"Maybe it's because Johnny was in a coma for too long before, and then the power generated through the scepter was too strong, coupled with the unexpected mutation of his body, the power of the scepter completely suppressed his memories about the Fantastic Four."
Pushing his glasses, Banner looked at the figure in front of him and guessed.
"He's forgotten more than just the memories of the Fantastic Four."
Tony frowned at the reason Banner gave.
"He had forgotten who he was."
The results of the entire healing experiment were beyond the Avengers' plans, and although Johnny was successfully rescued, Johnny now completely lost his memory as a thunderbolt.
"Maybe it's that gem."
With a blue glow in his eyes, Ultron scanned the yellow gem set on Johnny's forehead and analyzed.
"According to the data and radiation, the gem should be the core of the scepter's power, and although such a powerful gem power awakened Johnny from the coma, it also suppressed all his memories. Johnny in front of him is not so much a thunderbolt as a new lifeform. ”
Boom Boom –
"Hey, Tony!"
Inside the Avengers Building, just when Tony and the others were worried about Johnny's situation.
With a loud boom, Thor's figure landed inside the building.
Rushing straight to Tony, Thor looked at him and said angrily, "I gave you the scepter, but I didn't let you leave it with." ”
Apparently, through others inside the Avengers Mansion, Thor knew the results of the experiment.
"Calm down, Mr. Thor."
Facing the angry Thor, Ultron on the side opened his mouth to persuade him.
"In fact, Mr. Stark, like us, didn't expect such a change in the Scepter."
What Ultron said, Thor naturally knows.
It's just that he had some difficulty accepting the loss of the scepter's power for a while.
Taking a deep breath and letting go of his fingers gripping Tony, Thor turned his head to sweep the situation in the building, and was quickly attracted by the crimson figure in front of him, to be precise, the yellow gem that emitted a mysterious light on his forehead.
This yellow gem is the scepter that Loki left behind.
The Mind Gem gave Johnny a keen sense of perception, and when he noticed Thor's gaze, he subconsciously turned his head to turn his head at Thor.
Sweeping Thor's outfit, Johnny's gaze lingered on the cloak behind him for a moment, and the next moment the same huge yellow cloak appeared from behind him.
This ability obviously does not belong to the original Thunderbolt.
"Gems of the Mind."
Looking at the jewel on Johnny's forehead, Thor couldn't help but mutter.
"What?"
Hearing the name that came out of Thor's mouth, Tony subconsciously spoke.
"The Mind Stone, one of the six Infinity Stones, possesses the most powerful power in the universe and has the ability to destroy the world. And now, the gem on Johnny's forehead appears to be the mind gem among the six Infinity Stones. ”
"Infinity Stones?"
This was the first time the Avengers had learned about the Infinity Stones from Thor's mouth.
As they listened to Thor's description, their gaze swept over Johnny's forehead.
"It doesn't make sense, why would a gem have the power to destroy the universe."
Frowning, Banner was still a little skeptical of the Infinity Stones in Thor's mouth.
"So, do you think Hulk is reasonable, doctor?"
However, Banner's doubts were soon solved by Tony's rhetorical question.
The expression on Johnny's face changed to the Avengers' gaze, he reached out and touched the gem on his forehead, his gaze swept over the Avengers and then Susan on the side, and finally said silently: "I'm sorry, but I'm not Johnny Thunderbolt, I don't have any memory of it in my mind, maybe I used to be Thunderbolt, but now I'm ......"
“…… I am myself. ”
Controlling his body to float slowly, the figure looked at the people in the Avengers Building, and introduced in a slow but firm tone.
"I'm ...... Visual hallucinations. ”
