Chapter 1015: Fighting with Mephisto for people, selling substitutes and clones?
“The first is the orphanage. I hope you can go there for me and don’t let the director and those children worry.
If possible, it would be great to help them do what we can.”
"no problem."
"Number two is freaking Nick Fury."
"calm down.
That bastard deserves to die, but he can’t die yet.”
If Nick Fury dies, S.H.I.E.L.D. will be in chaos. Once S.H.I.E.L.D., which is responsible for handling extraordinary events and coordinating various forces, is in chaos, the Earth may not even be able to maintain apparent stability.
"We can't just let it go like this. He must pay the price." Gaius clenched his fist viciously. "If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be so frustrated."
"I already have an idea." Aaron also looked like he shared the same hatred for the enemy. "Remember the Skrulls?"
"You mean?"
"An alien race has quietly relocated to Earth and is living as humans, and their exact number is still unknown.
I will find a chance to let him know about this and make sure he is not too busy to take care of himself."
"not enough."
“It’s certainly not enough, but further retaliation requires the right moment.
You can do whatever you want to Nick Fury, but he can't die, and S.H.I.E.L.D. can't be finished.
At worst, I can curse him before leaving this universe, so that he will be awakened by nightmares every night."
"Is this considered a curse?" Jane asked blankly.
"Just because vampires don't need sleep doesn't mean humans don't. This curse is enough to make him restless for the rest of his life."
"That's more like it." Gaius nodded with satisfaction, "Finally, it's Ghost Rider..."
"This is a bit embarrassing." Aaron said with an embarrassed look. He had spent so much effort just to stay away from the Ghost Rider, so how could he take the initiative to get close to him.
"Then I can't do anything about it." Gaius said indifferently, "I know you have the initiative, but if I don't teach Ghost Rider a lesson, I won't be able to swallow this anger even if I die.
Although I am just a stand-in, I can represent you in a sense!"
Aaron thought for a while and said, "I'll do my best."
"Just try your best?"
"Yes, I'll just do my best. I can't give you any guarantees."
Gaius was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "As expected of me, you didn't lie to me at this last moment."
"Any last wishes?"
"No more." Gaius took off the space ring on his hand, "All the props, including weapons, are in it. Now they are returned to their original owners."
Aaron sighed softly, walked over to Gaius, and gently placed his hand on his head.
At the same time, patterns of mice and sheep appeared in his pupils.
Aaron slowly took back the power of transformation from stillness to movement and the power of soul, and Gaius turned into a porcelain-white statue.
boom!
Aaron tapped the statue on its forehead, and it instantly became covered with cracks and turned into rubble.
“How cruel!” Hela sneered. “You attacked me without any hesitation. I even suspected that you had changed into a different person.”
"When it's time to be decisive, you have to be decisive." Aaron exhaled slowly, "Besides, I'm not cruel.
I told him the truth and decided to fulfill his last wish, which was worthy of his life which lasted less than 24 hours. "
"Jane, collect these marbles later and throw them directly into the furnace in the studio."
"Okay, Master." Jane nodded calmly, her mood unperturbed.
Having been with the Volturi for hundreds of years, compared to the scenes of vampires ripping people's heads off, the master is indeed much more merciful.
"Master." The prophecy book bubbled again, "There is a new prophecy."
"Shut up! Bad news can't come one after another!" Aaron pointed at the prophecy book and cursed, "Can't you at least let me take a break?"
"Um... Master, this time it's good news."
"Okay, good news?" Aaron was stunned, "Ahem! I might have spoken a little loudly just now.
Never mind, never mind. "
“What an ugly face.” Hela rolled her eyes in disgust, not understanding why she had fallen for such a person.
“Your Highness Hela, you were sealed away by your old father for thousands of years because you were too tough.” Aaron laughed and then looked at the prophecy book. “Speak out the good news loudly and make our Highness Hela happy.”
"Ah... Master, why don't you think about it carefully?"
"What to consider? What is there to consider?" Aaron was complacent, with a provocative smile on his face without any concealment.
Previously, Hela gloated over a bad prophecy, which almost made him angry and burst into curses.
Now it was finally his turn to be happy. Shouldn't he say it out loud and let Hela be depressed for a while?
The person on the cover of the prophecy book had an obvious look of confusion on his face, and he didn't know how to start.
"Hurry up, this is an order."
"As you command, my beloved master." The prophecy book said with tears in its eyes, "The prophecy shows that you will find a new follower."
"good."
"Ghost Rider," the prophecy added timidly.
"Hmm, huh?" Aaron widened his eyes in astonishment and said in disbelief, "Do you know what you are saying?"
“Hahaha…” Hela couldn’t help but burst into laughter. She walked to the storage shelf, took down the book of prophecy, then sat on the sofa and crossed her legs.
She gave Aaron a playful look in return, slowly opened the book of prophecies as if she were reading a book, and found today's date.
“Ahem!” Hela cleared her throat, “Ghost Rider will become Aaron Gaius’ new follower.
That’s it, the prophecy is just this simple sentence.
It is indeed good news! Congratulations, you are going to compete with Mephisto for people!"
What a mess!
Aaron was bewildered, and a bloody rain began to fall from his gloomy heart.
He had finally managed to escape from Hell's sight, and now he was asked to jump back on his own initiative. This was no joke.
"Book of Prophecy, you'd better give me a perfect explanation."
"Master, this is a prophecy." The prophecy book explained aggrievedly, "I can only make a prediction and calculate the result, but I really can't do anything else."
"Rubbish! I shouldn't have spent so much money on you. What a waste of time."
Prophecy Book: ...
“I’m so sorry!
But the master has found a new follower, this is indeed good news!"
"Fuck! Is this good news?" Aaron said speechlessly: "The Son of Hell is still outside looking for a contract with Saint Vangansa! We don't know when the gates of hell will open.
Ghost Rider is a hot potato at this time. Am I crazy to subdue a person who has signed a soul contract with the father-level hell lord?"
"Maybe it will be in the future." The prophecy book said far-fetchedly, "This prophecy does not have a clear date, it may be a few years..."
"I'm afraid you don't even believe this!" Aaron said disdainfully, "It will take a few years. Generally speaking, a few days is normal, and no more than a few weeks at most.
I was totally unprepared to face Mephisto in such a short time."
“You have.” Hela interrupted at an inopportune moment. “You’ve already made preparations to escape.”
"Running away is the last resort."
"The atrium is guarded by the Supreme Mage, and a large magic circle isolates the power of other dimensions. Mephisto has no chance of descending in person. The most he can do is create a clone with little power.
Even without the blessing of dimensional power, you are still Sub-Father, and his incarnations will never be your opponent.
And from what I know about him, as long as you don't act too strong and make him feel that he has no chance to eat alone, he will definitely conceal your existence."
“Your Highness Hela, do you know what a demon is?” Aaron scratched his hair tiredly. “The demon’s thoughts are full of uncertainty. I dare not gamble.”
“Then there is only one way.” Hela smiled meaningfully.
"any solution?"
"Help Ghost Rider break his contract with Mephisto."
"Are you kidding me?"
“In a way, you are more of a demon than Mephisto.
His contract is a one-time deal. If Ghost Rider completes the task he assigns, he will be able to break free from his control.
But you..." Hela smiled and turned to look at Jane, "I think you have more say."
The corners of Jane's mouth twitched slightly. Could she say this in front of her master?
"I admit that my family members will have to work for me all their lives, but the rewards I give them are absolutely, absolutely, absolutely worth the price they have to pay.
And before signing the contract, I explained it to them very clearly, without any traps or loopholes, and they signed it willingly."
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Hela clapped her hands. "If you can help Ghost Rider break free from Mephisto's control, I think he will be willing to sign a contract with you."
Aaron:......
“That’s easy for you to say. I can guess Ghost Rider’s current mission.
Finding Gaius means finding me. Do you mean letting me fall into your trap?"
Hela spread her hands bluntly, “That’s not what I meant. That’s what the prophecy meant.”
"Haha!" Aaron sneered, "Prophecy? If I believe in it, it is the revelation of fate. If I don't believe in it, it is just nonsense."
“Are you sad?” Hela patted the prophecy book’s face. “Follow me from now on! How about I take you with me when I leave the courtyard?”
“Your Highness Hela,” Aaron said, resisting the urge to curse, “I must remind you that the Book of Prophecy is Gaius’s personal property.
Besides, it may not be willing to go with you."
The prophecy book smiled awkwardly but politely, "Princess Hela, please forgive me for being frank, but it seems that it will not make any difference whether I go with you or not."
The corner of Hela’s eye twitched, and she seemed to have thought of something. She slammed the prophecy shut and threw it back onto the shelf.
"Anyway, this is what the prophecy says. How can you reject fate's arrangement?"
"There are so many ways to do this. The simplest one is to kill the Ghost Rider." Aaron said lightly, and then changed the subject, "But the risk of playing this way is too great. I prefer to pretend that I know nothing and wait for everything to happen naturally..."
Before he finished speaking, Aaron suddenly remembered the system prompt sound in his mind.
"The host has triggered a new system task. Please check the task panel in time."
Isn’t this just too coincidental?
Aaron secretly complained in his heart, but still silently opened the task panel.
[Subdue the Ghost Rider;
Completing the mission will reward you with 1500 magic points; there will be no penalty for mission failure; do you accept it? 】
Ah this...
Aaron was tempted. How about selling the body of longing?
He has already sacrificed one substitute, so sacrificing one more is not unacceptable.
This is 1,500 magic points. If it can be sold at such a high price, I believe the thought entity won’t mind sacrificing itself once.
Anyway, as long as his original body is not dead, his thought body can be resurrected no matter how many times it dies, so the 1,500 magic points are worth the risk.
And in a sense, once the thought body is exposed, the firepower will naturally be attracted to it, and the main body will be safer.
The only problem he needs to worry about is that the thought entity looks exactly like him. Even if he wears a specially made alchemical mask, it may not be able to hide from the Ghost Rider's Eye of Judgment.
Although it is not uncommon for people to look exactly the same in the multiverse, Mephisto is a demon after all, and one who has lived for an unknown amount of time.
Who knows if this old bastard would have any thoughts about someone who looks exactly like Gaius? What if he accidentally hits the target?
To do it or not to do it? This is a question worth pondering.
But after looking at the book of prophecy on the shelf, Aaron felt that the problem seemed to have become much simpler.
He most likely chose to believe in the revelation of fate because of the benefit of 1,500 magic points, otherwise he would never have snatched the person from Mephisto.
If you do it, you will gain wealth and fame through risk, and the worst result is that your body of longing will be exposed once.
As for Mephisto, his strength on Earth has been weakened to the extreme, and he might not even be able to defeat Ghost Rider, so he probably won't take risks easily.
call!
Aaron took a deep breath, took out the few available Felicis potions and took a sip.
Hela noticed this scene and couldn’t help but raise the corner of her mouth. “It seems that you are going to believe in the revelation of fate?”
"Just think of it as fulfilling the stand-in's last wish!" Aaron said with a half-seriously half-fake smile, "Since we've decided to do it, we have to prepare for it."
"Jane, I remember there were a few bottles of holy water on the locker in the studio, right?"
"Three bottles, made by you when you were doing alchemy, Master. They have a stronger purifying effect than the holy water in the church."
Aaron nodded slightly, took out the red spider lily and spun it around, "I have to make some exorcism bullets before dark."
......
St. Michael's Church, built in the eighteenth century, is one of the oldest Catholic churches in the land.
But today, a bloody massacre suddenly occurred in the solemn church.
Wu Xinmo brought the three demons of earth, water and wind here to look for the contract with Saint Vangansa.
They obviously have no patience and will resort to killing to vent their anger if they don't get satisfactory answers.
Wu Xinmo lit a candle and stood nonchalantly in the center of the church. The corpses of clergymen were all around him.
"Forgive me, Father. I am guilty." Wu Xinmo's face was half demonic, and he said with provocation and sarcasm: "My crimes are too numerous to count."
