Chapter 1023: Fatten up the tiger before killing it? Recruiting the first generation of Ghost Riders

Carter Slay smiled with relief, then walked up to Johnny, took the shovel from his hand, and hit it hard against a tree next to him.

Snapped!

The shovel head fell to the ground, and a yellowed paper scroll on the handle instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"The St. Vanganza Contract can turn the world into purgatory." Carter Slay took out the contract and handed it to Johnny.

"You just gave it to me so easily?" Johnny took the contract in disbelief. The weight in his hand seemed a little unreal to him.

"I want this to end more than you do." Carter Slay said with a wry smile, "This man with a gem on his forehead..."

"Vision, my name is Vision."

“Vision is right, the Saint Vanganza Contract is no longer safe.

The energy in my body has been exhausted and I am no longer able to protect it.

And you are the Ghost Rider of this generation, it is most appropriate to let you handle it, and you have their help. "Carter Slay looked at Tony, Vision, and Aaron who quietly moved away from the two of them, "I believe you are the best strategy for me."

"Thank you." Johnny said with genuine gratitude.

"Okay, let's make a plan now." Tony clapped his hands, "How should we deal with the Son of Hell?"

"He is immortal. He will not die until the energy of Hell is exhausted." Vision commented, "So we have to capture him, restrict his movements, and then slowly wear away his vitality."

"This is the dumbest, but also the most effective method." Tony nodded.

"The question is how do you catch him?" Aaron held Abe in his arms and joked as he stroked him, "I'm not trying to boost others' morale and destroy my own prestige. Although the Son of Hell's strength on Earth has been greatly weakened, it does not affect his use of some dark spells.

These methods cannot be explained by science and are hard to guard against. If he wants to escape, you may not be able to stop him."

"I can catch him." Vision pointed to his forehead. The Mind Stone, which was emitting yellow light, was very bright in the night. "I can use it to create a barrier to prevent the Witch Demon from escaping."

"Oh!" Aaron raised his eyebrows. "Of course the energy of the Mind Stone is trustworthy, but I have a simpler and more brutal method, but it's a bit risky."

"What method?" Johnny asked anxiously.

"Ghost Rider's signature move."

Johnny was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, you forgot that the Witch Heart Demon has no soul, and the Eye of Judgment has no effect on him."

"But after you gave him the Saint Vanganza Contract, he possessed the soul."

"The souls of those fallen saints?" Carter Slay was surprised and said doubtfully, "If the Witch Heart Demon wants to gain power, it must devour these souls, and then be judged by the Ghost Rider."

"The energy of the hell dimension that the Witch Heart Demon carries with it may not be able to withstand the burning of thousands of evil souls!

This way, not only can we solve the witch's inner demon, but we can also destroy the Saint Vanganza contract, killing two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone!"

"This is no longer an adventure, this is madness." Vision's face twitched, and there was a hint of nervousness in his calm voice.

"Fattening up pigs before killing them is completely different from fattening up tigers before killing them." Tony didn't agree with this method, "Who knows what kind of abnormal state the witch demon will become after devouring these souls?

What if! What if we can’t defeat him? "

"Don't forget the prophecy." Aaron pointed to the night sky above his head. "Heaven will help at the critical moment. In other words, hunters will come to the rescue, and the sky will not fall."

Tony and Vision looked at each other, not knowing for a moment whether they should take the risk.

"What do you think?" Tony looked at Johnny and asked.

"I think there's nothing wrong with going crazy." Johnny hesitated for a few seconds and said, "The power of the demons on Earth will be greatly weakened, and they won't be able to cause any big waves.

What is really important is the Saint Vanganza Contract. If we don’t destroy the contract, if we kill one son of hell, there will be another one.”

"Now that we've come to this, let's go crazy!" Tony let out a long breath, "Shengfanganza Village is 500 miles away from here.

Should we set off now? Or should we rest for a night before setting off? "

“Let’s go now!

The longer Luo Shan is in his hands, the more dangerous it will be.”

Johnny said, then got on his Harley motorcycle and twisted the handlebars to transform into Ghost Rider.

"Are you sure you don't want to go?" Tony asked Aaron with a look of unwillingness.

"I have something to discuss with Carter Slay, so I won't get involved in such a big scene that could easily fail." Aaron waved his hands hurriedly. He just wanted to complete the system task as soon as possible.

After receiving the reward, he immediately went home and hid.

He didn't care about the Son of Hell, the Witch Demon, the Saint Vanganza Contract and other messy things at all. What he cared about was the prophecy.

The gates of hell and heaven. Generally speaking, such grand occasions must be attended by some big shots in person, such as Seraph, Mephisto, and the Sorcerer Supreme.

Of course he had to stay as far away from the scene as possible, because it would be really tragic if he was recognized.

"Okay!" Tony stopped insisting and turned to look at the eager Ghost Rider. "I'll lead the way. You can keep up, right?"

"no problem."

Tony immediately flew high into the sky, with Vision and Ghost Rider following closely behind him.

After the three people left, Carter Slay's expression became solemn, and he walked into the house on his own, "If you have anything to talk about, come in and talk."

Aaron was stunned for a moment, and instinctively sensed Carter Slay's alienation towards him.

But he didn't care. Since everyone else had left, he had nothing to worry about.

The two men sat opposite each other at a table. Carter Slay stared at him warily, but Aaron smiled easily and put Abe in his arms on the table.

Then he took out a bottle of emerald wine and two wine glasses from his space ring, "Would you like a drink?"

"No, I have a collection of fine wines." Carter Slay took out a half-drunk bottle of vodka from the drawer. "Would you like to try it?"

"Uh... forget it!

I don't like to drink what others have left." Aaron poured himself a glass of wine, put away the other glass, and savored it like a nobleman.

"Your attitude towards me has changed a little, why?"

“When I transformed into Ghost Rider today, I glanced at you.

It is just as Johnny said, you have a very pure soul, enough for the demons in hell to fight for it. "

"Thank you for the compliment."

"But what you did and said today are enough to prove how sinister you are. It's very contradictory for someone like you to have a pure soul."

"Is that why?"

"That's enough." Carter Slay took a big gulp from the bottle. "I've been a Ghost Rider for more than a hundred years. I can't be compared to Johnny, a novice."

"Who are you? What are you doing here?

Don't say you're settling scores with Johnny, that lame excuse won't fool me."

Aaron looked at the gray-haired old man dressed as a cowboy with satisfaction, and felt that he had found the right person this time. "Guess?"

"I can't guess." Carter Slay laughed dumbly, "The only valuable thing here is the Saint Vanganza Contract, but you definitely didn't come here for the Saint Vanganza Contract, otherwise you would have followed them just now."

"Who's sitting opposite me?" Aaron asked with a smile.

"Me?" Carter Slay blurted out, and then his eyes widened. "You came here for me? Isn't this a bit ridiculous?"

"To be exact, I'm here for Ghost Rider." Aaron said mysteriously, and then took out the prophecy book and a confidentiality contract from the space ring.

He first pushed the contract in front of Carter Slay and said, "Sign this contract and I will tell you everything you want to know."

"The last time I signed a contract, I regretted it for over a hundred and fifty years."

"I'm not a demon, and you shouldn't compare me to a demon, they don't deserve it." Aaron said seriously, "This is a confidentiality agreement, and our subsequent conversation cannot be leaked to others in any way.

Other than that, there are no restrictions.”

Carter Slay laughed, his eyes revealing obvious sarcasm, "Do you think I'm a fool?"

Aaron sighed softly and said patiently, "Your life is almost coming to an end, and the hellfire in your body can't even support you in a fight.

Do you think you have anything worth using my contract to set a trap for? Is it fun? "

Carter Slay was silent for a moment, then carefully picked up the contract with only a few lines in front of him and read it carefully.

"It's very simple. At least I can't see any traps."

"Then sign it!"

Carter Slay took a deep breath, picked up the pen and signed his name neatly.

Snapped!

Aaron snapped his fingers, and the contract turned into ashes and dissipated.

Seeing this scene, Carter Slay was suddenly shocked, fearing that he had missed some details of the contract.

Because Mephisto had used the same trick on him when he asked him to sign the contract, and he still remembers it clearly.

"Huh!" Aaron breathed a sigh of relief, then patted the prophecy book, "Find the prophecy related to Ghost Rider."

"Okay, master." The face on the prophecy book made a vicissitudes of life sound, and then flipped through the pages quickly.

A few seconds later, a line of words appeared on the blank page: Ghost Rider will become Aaron Gaius' new follower.

"Followers?" Carter Slay frowned slightly. After all, he had been a bounty hunter for the devil for a while, so he had some knowledge of this word.

“Wait, if it’s Ghost Rider, why did you choose me, an old man who is about to die?

No matter how you look at it, Johnny Blaze is a better value for money than me!"

“Because you have fulfilled the contract with Mephisto, your soul belongs to you.

But Johnny Blaze, he hasn't gotten rid of the devil's control yet, choosing him means I have to compete with Mephisto for him.

To be honest, I am still very afraid of that old devil. I don't want to confront him before I am sure enough.

As for your life span... no problem at all, I can give you enough life energy so that you can live until the end of the world."

"who are you?"

“Aaron Gaius, a magician from another universe.

By the way, the Gaius that Mephisto asked Johnny Blaze to find was me."

"It's you?" Carter Slay looked at Aaron in astonishment, "But how did you escape the eyes of judgment?"

"Speaking of this makes me angry." Aaron cursed angrily, "One of my followers works for S.H.I.E.L.D. and is directly under the leadership of Nick Fury.

Nick Fury knew that Ghost Rider was looking for Gaius all over the world, but he actually asked my followers to lead Ghost Rider to my side.

However, he didn't expect that my family members would report to me immediately after receiving his order.

Then, I directly created a life exactly like me, gave him a pure soul, and modified his memory, making him think he was Aaron Gaius. "

"So... Ghost Rider didn't find the real Aaron Gaius, but his carefully prepared substitute?"

"That's right." Aaron nodded approvingly, "This is the best solution I can think of.

I not only avoided the judgmental eyes of Ghost Rider, but also reduced Nick Fury's suspicion of my identity."

"Why?" Carter Slay expressed doubt and curiosity.

Aaron slapped his forehead, scratched his hair, and said awkwardly: "It's very troublesome to explain the reason, so..."

"Then explain it simply."

"Okay! Two of my ancestors have visited this universe one after another. The second one came thousands of years ago. He expelled the gods, sealed Apocalypse, the ancestor of the blood clan, and suppressed hell and heaven.

I don’t know when he left, but I’m not as strong as him. You can imagine what I’ll face if my identity is exposed.”

Carter Slay's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Aaron.

"What about your first ancestor?"

"I don't know much about him, I don't even know his name.

But when he visited this universe, there were no humans on Earth!

But this is definitely not a good thing for me. No one who can survive from the ancient times is an easy person. At least they can get the title of the Elder of the Universe."

"I have been in this universe for almost three years. Can you imagine how I survived every day, walking on thin ice and not even daring to use magic for fear of exposing my identity?"

"Yes!" Carter Slay nodded solemnly.

Aaron's defense was broken instantly, and several clear black lines appeared on his forehead.

I almost forgot that Carter Slay was also a ruthless man. He only survived for three years, but this old man survived for at least one hundred and fifty years.

Although he couldn't beat Carter Slay in terms of time length, he was on the Purgatory difficulty level, while Carter Slay wasn't even on the Easy mode.

"It's not important." Aaron waved his hand, "Let's get back to the point! I came here specifically to invite you to join my team.

As long as you are willing to become my follower, you can get unimaginable rich rewards. "
