The fire of hell erupted mercilessly, as if it were about to burn the heavens and the earth! The flames spread rapidly across the flattened ground, spreading across the clearing in the blink of an eye, and then swept towards the surrounding forest trees, engulfing flowers and trees into a sea of fire.

The flames reflected the sky red, like a huge flame-colored pot lid covering the sky. The heat was sealed between the earth and the sky, as if the entire atmosphere had become a giant steamer. The sound of water evaporating sizzled out, a heat that nothing alive could resist.

It is the flame of the Ghost Rider, the ultimate fire that can consume everything, even the soul. With Mephisto's special gift, this power has been exerted to the extreme like never before.

However, when the fire gradually faded, and in the charred black pit that had been burned out of the earth, two figures still hung there unscathed. Devastation and strangeness, the two "doctors" have joined forces to build an indestructible shield with magical power, a shield that even they themselves don't know if they have the means to penetrate. Although the shock wave of the heat still shook them back several meters, the shield still managed to hold on, successfully resisting the full force of the Ghost Rider for them.

Of course, Doom's face was still not very good-looking at this point - someone had clearly not been very kind to "teamwork", especially with strangers.

And from the first time they met, Doom classified Doctor Strange as a "not very serious and unreliable mustachioed wizard", which made him naturally feel that it was very cheap to work with this guy.

The light of the fire dissipated, and sporadic flames burned quietly on the scorched earth. The spell shield is lifted, but there are only two of them in the back.

One less person.

Ghost Rider reacted quickly, but at that very moment, a phantom figure also lifted its stealth and swooped up from behind him. The moment he turned his head, Michael's right fist slammed into the white skull, and the strong wind caused the flames above his head to sway violently.

But now the Evil Ghost Rider is also quite quick to respond, raising his palm to block the punch, and twisting his wrist to prepare for a counterattack. But just as he was about to make a move, he saw that the other hand's palm had been pressed on his chest. The punch perfectly obscured the trajectory of his left palm, and he didn't notice it until his palm was pressed to his chest, and Ghost Rider didn't notice it.

The palm imprinted into his chest, and the pale blue magic array opened in his palm for a moment, and the magic power was accurately injected into the knight's body. The knight's body shook, and he leaned back, and the skeleton's mouth kept opening and closing, as if it was silently shouting something.

For a moment, the red glow in the skull's eye socket bloomed to the extreme, like two arrows about to shoot out. But then the light went out. Pale blue magic erupted from the knight's back, and a phantom was blasted out of his body. The shadow rose and twisted like an ethereal black mist, gradually transforming into a giant standing tall in the sky. The scarlet demon looked down on the heavens and the earth like an angry demon god, and its yellow pupils were filled with rage.

The flames above Ghost Rider's head were extinguished. He reverted back to human form, lying on his stomach and unconscious.

"I haven't seen you for a while, but I've grown a lot, mage."

The giant—that is, Mephisto's image—looked at Michael with gloomy and angry eyes, and said in a deep voice.

"You, von Doom, and the ...... over there Are you a member of the Temple? The demon's eyes turned to Doctor Strange.

Strange floated into the air and looked at him without fear: "I am Stephen Strange, the Supreme Mage who guards the Temple. ”

"Huh? Supreme Mage? Mephisto looked interested, "Interesting, you're the new Supreme Mage. The three of you have managed to get my attention, and you are indeed different in this small group of human beings...... But that doesn't mean you can bear my wrath. ”

"You're overestimating yourself, demon." Doom stepped forward and looked at him coldly, "Liberate my mother's soul immediately, or I will make you regret it personally, demon." ”

Mephisto laughed, like hearing the funniest joke in all of hell.

"You? Make me regret it? yes, yes, yes. "I'm looking forward to what you can do to me, von Doom, and though you can't do anything to threaten me, it's still the only pastime in the long and endless years of hell." ”

The giant's image shifted, this time to a larger red face, as if he was closer to the camera.

"You want his mother's soul, but you have no leverage. I have no reason to do so, unless I make a pact with you, Victor von Doom. You all know, who made us demons do this? ”

"Say your terms." Doom said coldly.

"I'm giving you, and you lowly human mages, a chance to fight for Cynthia's soul." His gaze swept over everyone coldly, and he said, "On the fifteenth of next month, I will allow you to enter my kingdom, and I will fight you personally. If you win, I will free your mother's soul and she will be free...... But that doesn't mean you can touch her. Her soul will leave my grasp, but will go to a place you will never be able to enter...... Hahahaha, it looks like I still haven't suffered. ”

Doctor Strange frowned, "So what if we don't win?" ”

Mephisto glanced at him, chattered a few times, and pointed at Doom: "If you don't win, then of course, your soul must also stay, like Cynthia...... Well...... Wrong. ”

The demon narrowed his eyes, and his fingers shifted from Dom to Michael.

"No, I don't want your soul anymore." He sneered, "I want him, I want the soul of this mage." ”

"Nope." Doom said gloomily, "This has nothing to do with anyone else, this is a matter between you and me, this is my battle." ”

"The last time this human ran into my territory to make trouble, it wasn't just yours." Mephisto's voice was unequivocal, "This is the only chance I've given you, and you need to know that I don't have to. Accept, this is your only chance. Otherwise, you'll never see your mother again. ”

"I accept." Before Dom could speak, Michael said indifferently.

"No," Doom turned his head, "it's none of your business!" ”

"I promised to bring your mother back." Michael's tone was calm, and he patted Dom on the shoulder, "I do what I say." ”

Mephisto laughed heartily: "Good! Then on the 15th of next month, I look forward to your arrival. You'd better surprise me again...... I'll be disappointed if you let things end too simply. ”

With that, the figure of the Hell Lord turned into nothingness and disappeared.
