A luxury casino located in a prime location. The private room on the top floor is magnificent, spacious and gorgeous, with crystal chandeliers shining brightly. The design of the floor-to-ceiling windows allows people in the room to easily overlook the entire venue and have a panoramic view of all living things.
Mephisto and Russell sat opposite each other, the former holding a goblet and gently shaking the bright red wine inside, while the latter had a glass of ice water and ate the ice directly after drinking the water.
This casino is Mephisto's property. To be precise, the entire street is his property. Every year, people lose their souls to the devil every day.
Mephisto wanted to invite Russell to play a few games, but Russell refused decisively. As an outstanding dimensional demon, he would not touch such a bad hobby as gambling.
"Brother, what's going on with the Black Heart Demon? As an uncle, I'm very curious."
Russell's gaze lingered below. A gambler who had lost a red eye signed an agreement with the casino employee, and soon got the chips to make a comeback.
Then, the gambler who lost everything was asked away by the casino security and sent to the Hell Express.
Mephisto smiled faintly, took a sip of red wine, took a deep breath, closed his eyes and enjoyed the atmosphere of the casino for a while, and then slowly said: "Brother, why don't you talk about other things, this matter at home?
It’s a bit unspeakable!”
Mephisto didn't want to say it, and Russell didn't force it. Anyway, that wasn't the point. He was concerned about something else: "Brother, where is this world? Is it your exclusive territory?"
"Brother, you are being humble again. As the Dimension Demon God, how could you not know?"
Mephisto raised the red wine glass, and the beautiful waiter next to him immediately poured a little for it, and continued: "You should be able to see that this is not my territory, and I am just a traveler passing by, just like you."
The universe of "Ghost Rider" is not related to other Marvel universes. Mephisto accidentally entered this universe due to a magical teleportation.
He was very interested in this, intending to establish this place as a new colony and continuously harvest soul currency. However, he was blocked by the forces of heaven.
Yes, this is a world that belongs to heaven. As the devil of hell, Mephisto is a key target.
Leaving his own dimension, he is no match for the heavenly army, and his strategy shifts to retreat to advance.
But he did not give up. Instead, he wrote down the coordinates and secretly projected his own hell dimension here, creating a new hell to replace the false hell weaved by the original angels.
The angels were unable to invade the hell dimension. Mephisto left hell and was no match for the army of heaven. The two sides reached a tacit ceasefire. The bottom line of heaven was that Mephisto could not use his power in the human world.
Mephisto has always relied on his IQ. If you give him a mouth, he can turn the world upside down, so he has no objection to the terms of the truce.
Even, in order to show his determination to long for peace, he left his body, leaving only a clone behind.
As the Demon King of Hell, Mephisto is a hard-nosed man, but he must be tough and unwilling to do everything himself, so he created the Black Heart Demon as a thug to help manage the new hell.
As for why it is the Black Heart Demon again, I can only say that it is convenient. This son has used it for many years and is not used to it.
As for Johnny, the source of Ghost Rider's power is indeed heaven, and its fundamental spirit of vengeance was created by God himself.
After the flood of Noah's Ark, God discovered that mankind's original sinful nature had not changed, but he had previously promised not to punish mankind with such cruel means as the flood, so he used the spirit of vengeance to supervise mankind's sinful nature.
Since then, the spirit of vengeance, which came to the world in the form of flames, combined with the human host to form the Ghost Rider to cleanse the world of evil.
The main duty of the Ghost Rider is to monitor the evil nature of human beings in the world and avenge those innocent people who were killed by evil. He is a standard evil nemesis.
Therefore, Ghost Rider’s real name should be called ‘Wrath of God’!
As for why he became the Ghost Rider and was forced to work for Mephisto, it can only mean that the spirit of revenge is too unlucky, or that Mephisto is too smart.
Mephisto signed a contract with the spirit of vengeance through his clever deception and eloquence, and obtained the right to own his soul.
Heaven was not willing to do so. Both sides looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes. They were all social beings and it was impossible to start a fight. So they decided to use negotiation to resolve the dispute.
The result is that the souls of the vengeful spirits are divided into half and half, and the vengeful spirits become warriors in the two realms of heaven and hell, but are not absolutely loyal to either side.
In other words, this thug has two leaders, doing some dirty work that both parties can show up for.
Because this world is related to an important plan of Mephisto, Mephisto brings the spirit of vengeance here to do his dirty work in the world.
When Heaven saw that the skull of the rapist was one of its own, it felt as if it had eaten shit. It did not want to suffer this loss, and added the task of punishing sin to the spirit of vengeance.
Just like that, Ghost Rider is good and bad, jumping repeatedly between the black and white camps.
The intuitive expression is that Sorey, the previous generation of Ghost Rider, did a lot of good and bad things, and at one point he suspected that he was torn apart.
In fact, that's right. The soul is already in two halves. How can it not be schizophrenic?
This is why Mephisto did not recognize Russell immediately, but thought about it for a while before remembering his identity.
He is a clone, not the real body!
But now, it's hard to say whether the person sitting opposite Russell is a clone or a real person.
"Brother, you said that I am a passer-by, and I admit that, but you said that you are also a passer-by, which is a bit insincere."
Russell chuckled: "I went to hell and found a dimensional fragment in development. It looks delicious. Is that your territory?"
"..."
Mephisto's hand shaking the goblet paused slightly, and he praised: "Brother, this is your fault. You didn't even say a word when you arrived at my house, so I didn't treat you well."
"Forget it about entertaining, I'm afraid you might have other ideas, brother!"
Russell grinned: "Just like now, seeing you so weak, brother, I can't help but have the idea that we should all be brothers, otherwise I will really take action."
"Brother, please don't think like this. This is other people's world after all. It's better to keep a low profile..."
Mephisto smiled meaningfully, raised his hand and pointed to the top of his head: "Those guys have bad tempers and will fight if they disagree with each other. They are not as easy to talk to as I am."
"Yeah?"
Russell raised his head and poured the last piece of ice into his mouth. While chewing the crushed ice, he put the empty cup on the table. He raised his eyebrows and said, "I've long been unhappy with those guys. Why don't we two try and win?"
If we die, we will only be half of the world, so what?"
"..."
Hearing this, Mephisto closed his smile and looked directly at Russell with an expressionless face. The latter was also unambiguous and looked at him with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.
Behind the two people, red flames and black fog emerged, turning into two twisted and evil faces looking at each other.
The magnificent private room was forced by the momentum of the two, and large spider web cracks appeared. The cracks spread all the way, shattering the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, causing the crowd in the casino below to scream.
The violent aura collided in the private room without leaking out at all. Ordinary people outside could not feel it, but the waiters in the private room were miserable.
For example, the bunny girl who poured wine for Mephisto just now was paralyzed and forced to reveal her true body as a succubus with wings.
After a while, both the flames and the black mist disappeared and converged back into the two bodies.
"Dude, are you serious?"
Mephisto glanced sideways downwards and narrowed his eyes slightly. Everyone seemed to be under an illusion, frozen in place and unable to move.
Snap!
Russell snapped his fingers and erased everyone's memories. He shook his head with a smile and said, "Brother, it's just a joke. Why are you so excited?"
"This joke is a little too much. I have a bad heart and can't stand the excitement!"
"That's what I'm saying. I think you are young and strong, brother. It won't be a problem for you to live another ten thousand years."
"Hahaha..." x2
The two looked at each other and laughed. The chaotic casino seemed to go back in time, and the broken things returned to their original places. The sober gamblers looked sullen and began to sell their souls to the devil in exchange for a ticket directly to hell.
"By the way, brother, I suddenly remembered something."
Russell raised his hand and asked for a glass of ice water. The succubus girl transformed into a human bunny girl, left quickly in small steps, and handed over the ice water.
Lots of ice cubes added!
Mephisto narrowed his eyes slightly, exuding a slightly fierce light: "What is it, is it related to the knight?"
"No, it's a contract called Saint Cassie or something. I'm very curious about its use. Can you tell me about it?"
"It must be the contract of St. Fangansa!"
"Yes, that's the name. It's so hard to pronounce. I can't remember it."
"That's a contract for me to practice my eloquence when I'm bored. After all, I'm a devil, and I rely on my mouth to make a living. My skills as a eloquent need to be tempered regularly." Mephisto smiled slightly and said without caring.
"I see. If you say so, I won't panic..."
Russell smiled slightly and took out the contract from behind his butt. Regardless of Mephisto's livid face, he said to himself: "Since it is your joke, brother, I can safely keep it."
"Brother, you are going too far!!"
"It's okay. I've always regarded you as my idol. However, my talent is not good enough and I can't learn even one ten thousandth of your evilness, so..."
Russell stuffed the contract back behind his back and said with a longing look on his face: "As an avid fan, it's not too much to collect a few autographed photos of your idols!"
"snort!"
Seeing that the contract disappeared, a haze flashed in Mephisto's eyes, he put down the red wine glass, stood up and hugged the succubus beside him: "Brother, you eat the ice slowly, brother, I am very angry, go out and let it go."
"Hey, you haven't said the purpose of the contract yet..."
Seeing Mephisto leaving without looking back, Russell's voice gradually became softer, he glanced at the crazy gambler below, shook his head and left.
To be honest, he really didn't know the use of this contract.
