Chapter 167: A Distant Threat
Johnny stayed in the end, but unlike Kane, he didn't have any sense of belonging to New York, and was simply fooled by Kane, because he had only been a Ghost Rider for a long time, and many things had not yet been figured out, especially after Kane told him all about Ghost Rider.
Yes, Kane had an in-depth conversation with Johnny, and more often than not, Kane said, Johnny listened, he told Johnny all the stories of the Vengeful Spirit and Zatanos, and the relationship between God and Heaven and the Ghost Rider after the Great Flood of the Ark.
Johnny basically listened to all this like a mythical story, but after listening to it, he still chose to believe Kane's words, after all, what happened to him is difficult to explain with science, and it is much more coordinated in mythology.
"So, the power in me wasn't given to me by Mephisto at all?" After listening to the ins and outs, Johnny suddenly realized another problem, he seemed to have been deceived.
"Ha, I think he dreamed of having the ability to create Ghost Riders, but unfortunately, the Spirit of Vengeance naturally has an aversion to demons, I think he should have sensed the soul power of Zatanos in your body, so he used tricks to make you think that he was the god who created you." Kane explained the vengeful spirit and the demon's feud.
"I want to find him, I want to get my father's soul back, he deceived me, and that contract should be null and void." After listening, Johnny looked at Kane, he knew that this matter was difficult, and among the people he had contacted so far, Kane was the only one who knew Mephisto the most, but he was too embarrassed to speak, after all, he had just fought with him.
"Demons are very good at hiding their whereabouts, although the spirit of revenge in your body can track down demons, but Mephisto is the most powerful demon king among demons, and his ability to hide his aura is also the most powerful, even when he is by your side, you can't find out that he is a demon, how can you find him?"
"Is there no other way?"
"No, I think there are two ways to find him."
"Oh?" Johnny stares at Kane, his whole life has been in a state of misery since he met Mephisto, his only loved one has died, and he has been forced to leave the girl he loves, and if there is a chance to change all this, even if it is just to free his father's soul, he will do his best to do it.
"First, improve your control ability, neither the spirit of revenge nor the soul of Zatanos has intelligence, and the power they have has not yet been fully developed, so the leader of the evil spirit rider should be you, not the two remnant souls, now you have just mastered the transformation method of the evil spirit knight, and you can't control the power in your body, not to mention that you can't find Mephisto, even if you really find him, with your current strength, I'm afraid you can't do anything about him."
Johnny frowned, what Kane said made sense, he was able to transform because of Mephisto's activation, and with him finding that guy now, he really didn't have much chance of winning.
"Second, use yourself as bait to lure him out, there must be some conspiracy for him to wake you up and come to us, no matter what the conspiracy is, if you don't act according to his script, then he will inevitably come to find out the reason, and at that time, you can naturally communicate with him face-to-face, but it's still that problem, with your current strength, even if you see him, you can't do anything."
"How can I improve my strength as soon as possible?" Johnny asked, looking up.
"I have a set of cultivation methods here, which is related to the soul, but you need to fully trust me, because the cultivation of the soul is the most dangerous, and if you hesitate a little, it may cause a big disaster."
"Hehe, New York's famous superhero Deadtalker is more credible than the despicable demon king Mephisto, although I have been active in the Midwest before, I have also heard of your name." Johnny laughed and said that a name that often appears in big events and is on a par with Iron Man and Spider-Man is still very convincing.
"That's good, I'll adjust the cultivation method according to the condition of the two remnant souls in your body, I believe it can help you." Kane smiled from the bottom of his heart, and started with another high-end combat power.

Far out in space, a strange-looking Zetari priest hands the Psychic Scepter into Loki's hands.
"Take it, this scepter is powerful enough to connect you to the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and it can also control the minds of those who come into contact, I will have a detachment waiting at the spatial hop point, as long as you use the Cosmic Cube to open the door of space, they will lead to that planet to help you destroy all resistance. However, you'd better remember the content of our transaction, the planet belongs to you, but the Cosmic Cube must be in our hands, otherwise, you know the consequences. β
"Don't worry, the technology of the earth is still in the early stage of cosmic pioneering, as long as your army is not a second-hand product from that garbage dump, it will be easy to defeat them, then, wait for my good news." Loki, dressed in military uniform, confidently turned away with his scepter in hand, now blinded by the rage of revenge and completely unconcerned about anything else.
After Loki was gone, the Zetari priest walked up the long staircase to a throne suspended in space, bowed his head and saluted, "Master, do you think this Asgardian can be trusted?" β
"Hehe, a naΓ―ve little guy who will always be angry because he lost his beloved toy, so whenever there is a chance to take revenge, he will treat it with twelve points of spirit." A voice full of majesty floated down from the throne.
"But is it really good to give him the Mind Gem, what if he loses his hand and leaves the Mind Gem on Earth?"
"Did I ever own an Infinity Gem when I defeated planet after planet in the universe? This is just a tool to facilitate my actions, even the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, it is good that he succeeds, what can he do if he fails, and the worst result is just that you lose a reconnaissance fleet, as for these endless gems, just put them on the earth first, as long as I know their location, it is only a matter of time before I get them. β
"Yes, I see, I am an all-knowing and all-powerful master, and this matter will be left to me." Priest Zetari bowed deeply and then turned to leave, and in the universe in front of the Void Throne, countless warships emerged from the wormholes, and the guns on the battleships were all aimed at this side.
