Chapter 9 Taking the Initiative
Dinner was eaten a little absent-mindedly.
But Ke Wen hid it well and Jennifer didn't notice anything strange.
After returning to the hospital, until late at night, Ke Wen was still holding the evening newspaper headlines in his hand.
Hot Johnny, the best motorcycle stunt star in the world today, breaks one record after another.
If it were before, Coven might not have the slightest interest in this kind of news.
But he had already met Mephisto.
In this case, the identity of Explosive Johnny can be confirmed, it is the second generation of "Ghost Rider" Johnny Blaze!
Coven doesn't care about the crazy flaming skull, he cares about Mephisto behind the "Ghost Rider".
Did you promise to meet again?
It's been months, why hasn't Mephisto seen a ghost?
You know, Kewen will open a mirror space every once in a while during this period, and go in to vent a little bit.
This is not because he lacks determination.
There are many ways to calm down. Whether it is emotional magic or the static technique of "inner alchemy", Kewen can control his emotions very well.
But he didn't want to do that this time.
Ever since he learned magic, Kewen has never encountered an evenly matched opponent.
He never had a happy fight with anyone.
This gave him a feeling of emptiness as if he were walking in fine clothes at night.
The stronger he became, the more serious his feeling of emptiness became, to the point where he had no idea what level his strength had reached.
But in this world, there are too many beings who can be his opponents!
Mephisto is the first person Corwin has ever met who can use his hands to his heart's content.
When Mephisto emitted magic power, Coven only sensed it, and his body instinct fed back a message to him.
The opponent's strength is not much different from his.
It's not the strength of that clone, but the essence of Mephisto's magic, which is about the same level as Coven's.
This greatly stimulated Ke Wen, and he almost couldn't help but take action.
However, he still reluctantly endured it, because he knew that it was a clone, and Mephisto's true body was still hiding in the hell dimension.
At that time, Corwin did not have the ability to cross dimensions, so he had to let go of Mephisto's clone.
Now, after several months of targeted learning, Kewen has mastered the cross-dimensional magic of 'Kama Taj'.
Now there is only one coordinate left in the hell dimension.
To be honest, he was quite envious of Stephen Strange, the future Supreme Mage.
Because the other party had just entered the ‘Kama Taj’ and enjoyed the help of Ancient One. He was taken by Ancient One to browse the multiverse and sensed the breath of each dimension.
Ke Wen had no reason to ask Gu Yi for help, and he didn't have the time to slowly explore one dimension after another.
So he could only choose to wait, waiting for Mephisto to come again.
But the devil actually broke the promise! He actually made him wait in vain for several months!
How can this work! ?
But God helped, and the news of ‘Ghost Rider’ was delivered to him today.
If the memory data is correct, the plot of Ghost Rider happens to take place this year.
Johnny Boom is still continuing to perform, which means he hasn't officially become the Ghost Rider yet.
This also means that Mephisto will next let Johnny, who becomes the "Ghost Rider", look for the "St. Fangansa Contract" and appear at the end of the plot.
If the mountain doesn't come, I'll do it; if I go, it'll be the mountain.
Coven doesn't want to wait any longer for Mephisto to come to the door for the second time. He will keep an eye on Explosive Johnny and follow the trend to find the devil who made him fight!
…
Kowen has never been more motivated than now.
After making up his mind, he immediately took action.
First, he left a clone with little magic power in the hospital. Then he cast invisibility magic on himself and flew out of the study window.
Although Kewen no longer suppressed his fighting spirit, it did not mean that he had lost his patience.
He didn't come directly to the door and force Ghost Rider to take him to Mephisto.
Kewen chose to wait quietly.
He enters the mirror space and follows Johnny Blaze from the scene of his speedster show.
Even if he saw Mephisto's clone in the audience at the venue, he still suppressed his emotions and did not show up.
In the following days, he watched the development of the plot like an audience in the mirror space.
He saw Johnny Blaze finally transformed into the Ghost Rider, riding a motorcycle enhanced by Hellfire to wreak havoc in the city, and arbitrarily judged those who were guilty.
Then, he saw the Inner Witch leading four devils to find Johnny Blaze, and watched them fight.
A few more days later, Coven continued to hide in the mirror space, and finally followed Johnny Blaze to the ruins of the small town of San Francisco.
The inner demon is a created will.
Mephisto failed to completely occupy the hell dimension, so he combined the breath of hell and his own will to create a soulless alternative like the Witch Heart Demon.
He tried to make the inner demon into a being similar to the way of heaven, and tried to replace the will of hell with his own will.
It failed.
Mephisto simply claimed that the Witch Heart Demon was his son, and now he is using it as waste.
The inner demon does not know his own nature. He has fallen into a conspiracy without knowing it. He is still pursuing the "St. Fangansa Contract" there, in order to use the "fallen souls" in the contract to make himself worse. powerful.
He succeeded and stole the contract from Johnny Blaze.
The Soulless Witch is not afraid of the hellfire of the Ghost Rider, but after absorbing the souls of the Saint Vanganza Contract, the Witch created a soul.
Although his strength increased greatly, he also had weaknesses, and his soul was restrained by Hellfire.
The Witch Mind completed his script and became a vessel containing a vast amount of corrupted will.
And Mephisto finally showed up.
Not only did he want to use the corpse of the Witch's Heart Demon to create a small hell in the 'Ruins of St. Vincent's Town', he also wanted to take back the power in Johnny Blaze's body.
In the original plot, Mephisto was just a clone with little power, so he was helpless in the face of Johnny Blaze's move to tear up the contract.
But things are different now.
Mephisto, who appeared this time, had very strong magic power in his body.
He easily suppressed Johnny Blaze who transformed into the Ghost Rider.
Stepping on Johnny's cheek, Mephisto looked down at him and let out a proud laugh.
After laughing, he shook his head and sighed: "I never thought that Gu Yi would make a mistake and remind me accidentally."
Withdrawing his foot, Mephisto used his cane to punch Johnny Blaze's cheek up and down, and said at the same time: "No wonder she agreed not to interfere so easily, you actually dared to think of resisting me!"
After saying that, Mephisto inserted his cane into the eye socket of the 'Ghost Rider's' skeleton and lifted it up directly.
"Now, it's time for me to take back what's mine!"
Mephisto smiled evilly, revealing his true face as a devil, and opened his mouth wide, full of spiked fangs.
A suction force appeared from Mephisto's mouth, dimming the hellfire on Johnny Blaze.
At this moment, a light blue magic spark suddenly appeared next to it, and quickly rotated, turning into a portal.
Kewen's figure walked out of the mirror space.
This stunned Mephisto, who even forgot to absorb the power from Johnny Blaze's body.
After canceling the portal, Coven glanced at Johnny Blaze in the 'Ghost Rider' state, then stretched out his right index finger and waved lightly from bottom to top.
laugh!
The invisible sharp blade instantly cut off Mephisto's cane, freeing Johnny Blaze from the other party's control.
"young people……"
Mephisto, who was in the devil's posture, looked ferocious. He stared at Coven and said in a deep voice: "What do you want to do?"
"The next thing is between us."
Ke Wen did not continue to take action, but stood there and replied: "For irrelevant people, just let them leave."
Mephisto stared at Corwin in silence for a moment, then turned to look at the weak Johnny Blaze.
In the end, he chose Kewen. After all, he was too curious about the magic power in Kewen's body.
So Mephisto stopped talking to the half-dead Johnny Blaze and looked at Coven again.
Seeing this, Kewen waved to the corner not far away: "Madam, take him away."
Johnny Blaze's ex-girlfriend hesitated for a moment, but finally she suppressed her fear, gritted her teeth and ran over to help her ex-boyfriend up.
The two staggered away. After entering the morning light, Johnny Blaze immediately recovered from the "Ghost Rider" state.
He reluctantly turned around and glanced at Kewen, his savior. He wanted to say something but was unable to speak because of his physical weakness.
In the end, Johnny Blaze could only grit his teeth and follow his ex-girlfriend completely out of the ruins of the town.
Sensing the two people walking away, Corwin said to Mephisto, who had regained his appearance as an elderly gentleman: "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Oh?" Mephisto laughed warmly: "I'm sorry, I have too many things going on recently and I couldn't visit as promised."
"So I came to find you." Ke Wen said calmly.
It's strange that when facing Mephisto again, Coven didn't show any signs of losing control this time.
He was very calm at this time and continued: "It was you who came to the door last time. Shouldn't it be my turn this time?"
"you?"
Although Mephisto remained calm, he was actually very surprised inside.
He looked at Ke Wen and asked doubtfully: "I'm sorry, what do you mean?"
"Won't you invite me to sit in your hell?" Ke Wen said.
Mephisto completely lost control of his expression, and was really stunned when his emotions showed up on his face this time.
After a few breaths, he came back to his senses and confirmed in disbelief: "You want to go to my hell?"
"That's right."
Ke Wen nodded slowly: "Aren't you welcome?"
"Welcome!! Of course you are welcome!! Very welcome!!"
Mephisto responded immediately.
He was so excited that it was difficult to control the magic in his body, and his appearance kept changing between an old gentleman and a devil.
As if afraid that Coven would regret it, Mephisto immediately cast a spell, causing the ground beneath their feet to collapse rapidly.
As if falling into the crater of a volcano, the two men suddenly began to fall...
