Shadow of the Beautiful World

At the end of the wasteland hell, all demons are roaring.

A pale and ominous halo shone above the sky, outlining a cold light, and the icy rain of blood had turned into a storm, sweeping across the entire plain of ashes with howls.

In the corrosive rain, there are also small meteorites with long tail flames that fell from the sky.

It was the magma that was ejected into the sky by the violent eruption of the Doomsday Volcano, and the rocks formed after cooling were cold on the outside and scorching hot on the inside.

Every time it hits the ground, a small lake of lava is formed.

The earth was also torn.

It was like the mouth of a ferocious giant beast that had been split open on the ground. It was black, as if it wanted to devour all hope.

Outside the gate of hell, the running demons howled and tried to stop, but under the chaotic gravity, they couldn't control their movements at all, and could only be pushed and fell into the abyss below.

Those mournful howls are like the background music of this great escape.

And the ground that was torn apart and gathered together rose from the ground, like a shaking dragon's spine, pointing obliquely to the sky.

In the roar of the earth, the roar of rocks is the climax of this background music.

In front of the gate of hell, the abyss lord guarding here roared and raised a huge war halberd.

Just like a giant sculpture tens of meters high, the flame of the soul jumping on the halberd will block all the space going to the gate of hell.

No one can pass it!

But above the sky, the burning locomotive jumped up from the rising dragon's spine, like a sharp arrow shooting into the sky, drawing a dazzling flame mark in the air.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment, and everything became slow motion.

The spinning wheels, the beating flames, the meteorites falling from the sky, the roar of the huge demon below, the ground that has been completely broken, and the crumbling mountain ridge behind it.

There are also those ghosts and monsters who spread their wings and stretch out their claws in the blood rain, like a swarm of bees, trying to grab the speeding locomotive.

On top of the locomotive, burning skeletons were laughing wildly.

Johnny gained control of Ghost Rider's body, and he is also being affected by the mad spirit.

Become more free, become more wild.

Constantine, who was trapped behind him, closed his eyes, tightly hugging the scorching skeleton knight, trying not to let out a cowardly scream.

At this critical moment, Zha Kang also wanted to show a fearless temperament.

Even though he was already trembling with fright.

If it wasn't for the fact that the spirit body doesn't have the excretory function, I'm afraid Zha Kang would be so frightened that he would lose control of himself at this time.

And at the rear of the locomotive wrapped in raging flames.

The demon manipulated by Merlin was standing there, and the poison of the ingested massive amount of metal onium was destroying the body of this highly toxin-resistant demon in a manner of attacking the city.

Every minute and every second, this hideous flesh and blood body is getting weaker and weaker.

There is not much time left for Merlin.

accelerate!

Merlin's cold voice sounded in Johnny's ears.

Without hesitation, Johnny slammed down the accelerator, and the living demon locomotive roared in the air, and a thick pillar of fire spewed out from the exhaust pipe, like a pair of invisible hands pushing on the locomotive.

The erupting pillar of fire set the sky on fire.

The ghosts and demons chasing after the locomotive were also set on fire.

Howling, they tumbled from the sky, down to the ripped ground below, into eerie abysses into the unknown.

boom

The huge demon guarding the gate of hell swung his halberd like a fly swatter, and smashed down a car towards the three people flying in the sky.

At the back of the locomotive, Merlin clenched his fingers into fists and swung them upwards fiercely.

The concentrated gravitational force was also like a heavy punch, slamming on the locomotive that had already started to fall.

In the violent vibration, Johnny's motorcycle rolled upwards, narrowly dodging the oncoming halberd.

Ghost Rider let out a hearty laugh, his burning finger bones pressed down, and the head of the motorcycle swung down, sticking to the blade surface of the huge halberd.

wow

The world's greatest racer controls the locomotive, and with the roar of the engine, steers the chariot, speeding down the demon's statue-like weapon.

It's like rushing to the ground at 90°.

The gravitational force changes direction and presses on the surface of the locomotive in an oppressive manner, making it fall faster and impact faster.

Roar

The demon opened its mouth, and magma spewed out of it like a volcanic eruption, and rushed towards the speeding plane.

Just before being engulfed in flames, Merlin's shriveled arms lifted up again.

Gravity redirected, sending Johnny's bike back into the air.

It slammed into the demon's arm with powerful kinetic energy, as if it had jumped into the uneven hilly ground.

Sit tight!

The flames on Johnny's head fluttered, and the burning skeleton shouted to the two people behind him:

Next, it's going to be a little bumpy...

boom

The engine of the locomotive exploded again, and amidst the flames, the three crazy people went all the way up along the arm guarding the demon.

Just like the wildest cross-country racing car, it rushed all the way to the huge shoulders of the demon. Wherever it went, there was only a piece of burned flesh and blood, exuding the smell of depraved scorching.

The burning locomotive seemed to be climbing a peak, and in the jump of the devil like a poodle, it bumped up and down and rushed into the back of the devil like a dragon, on the staggered bone plates.

The last 20 meters!

Zha Kang opened his eyes, and he looked at the gate of hell that was in front of him.

In the whistling scorching wind, he saw that the demon's tail, which was covered with bone spurs like a war hammer, had been swung and pulled down like a whip.

In the leaping bombardment of this tens of thousands of tons of demons, the last section of the mountain road leading to the gate of hell has been completely destroyed.

As the earth crumbled, Jagger shouted:

There is no way!

The road is right there!

Merlin roared loudly:

rise!

boom

There was a loud bang, and a whole piece of falling rock seemed to have been punched from below.

It jumped into the air, and the burning skeleton locomotive also jumped up at this time.

It landed on the re-falling rock, and jumped again.

Another rock was lifted by Merlin, supporting Johnny's car to continue running horizontally.

One by one rocks were lifted from the falling abyss, like a miracle, forging a non-existent road for the three fleeing.

Behind them, the guarding demon turned around.

It held up the war halberd in its hand, and with a roar that resounded through the wasteland, it threw the war halberd in its hand like lightning.

Like an arrow being shot, it roared and hit the locomotive running in the air.

Thanks!

Merlin turned around and cast an energy shield with magic power.

During the collision of the halberds, the locomotive, whose speed had dropped to a dangerous level, seemed to be hit from behind by a giant's weapon.

Amid Zack's screams, skeleton roars and Merlin's laughter, the locomotive, which had become tattered in the impact, just spun like a falling plane.

It kept throwing out shattered parts, billowing black smoke amidst the raging flames, and crashed towards the gate of hell.

boom

The door that had been opened a little was violently knocked open.

White light erupted from it, engulfing the three people who crashed into it.

It's like falling into gentle water without splashing a wave.

kuang

The Ghost Rider driving the locomotive and Zack Kang who was tied behind him howled and fell to the cold ground in an extremely embarrassed posture.

The demon controlled by Merlin used a dexterous backflip to land firmly on the ground when it fell.

The demon's body was already emitting strange white smoke.

It can no longer withstand the toxicity of metal onium in the body.

Manipulating gravity and gravitational force many times, let the toxicity of metal onium penetrate into every cell and every bone.

It's dead.

Merlin's ghost rose from the shriveled body that seemed to have been drained of all water. He looked regretfully at the corpse that was being corroded into mottled white bones under his feet.

He squatted down, picked up the bottle again, and reabsorbed the metal onium that had been peeled off again.

Behind him, in the tragic rollover scene, Johnny's motorcycle had been turned into a burning residue in the final fall, and the skeleton knight stood up from the burning flames shaking his head.

His head hung from his spine at an odd angle, much to Ghost Rider's displeasure.

He clasped the head with burning bone fingers, and during the force, there was a soft sound at the junction of the spine and the skull.

The twisted head was straightened.

He moved his jaw, as if checking his condition.

Beside him, Zha Kang's ghost crouched tremblingly beside a stone.

He was not hurt.

But he was still immersed in the passion of the desperate hurricane just now...

He was terrified.

He needed time to calm down from his overexcited mood.

Johnny took a few steps forward, and the fire of hell burning on his body was extinguished bit by bit, allowing him to return to a normal state.

He glanced back at the tightly closed gate of hell behind him, then turned his head back and looked in front of him.

In front of his eyes, there was a light curtain.

It's like the water waves gathered here, and it's like a glass that blocks the progress of the three.

Johnny stood in front of the light curtain, and he saw his haggard and weathered face, his eyes.

He looked at the light curtain.

In the flow of light, the picture in the light curtain changes rapidly. A lady in business attire, with long chestnut hair and an elegant figure is holding a microphone and seems to be doing an interview.

And it can be deduced from the Statue of Liberty on the background of the picture.

She is in New York.

Rosanne!

Johnny stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the picture in the light curtain.

But between finger touches, it's like touching the calm water surface with fingers, causing slight ripples.

Dimensional Projection...

Merlin floated behind Johnny, he looked at the light curtain in front of him, and said:

I knew it, it's not that simple.

What's the meaning?

Johnny looked back at his trusted brother.

Merlin stared straight ahead, and in the picture of the light curtain, he saw his relatives.

I saw May, Ben, Peter, my sister and brothers.

I saw Carol flying among the stars, the expressionless Psylocke on a mission, and Zatana riding a camel in the desert with a veil.

Finally, he sees Elsa in a field of ice and snow, being bowed down by a group of frost giants.

This made Merlin's eyes change a bit.

He was silent for a few seconds, then stretched out his hand and stuck it against the light curtain.

He looked at the waves of water that danced around his fingers, and he explained to Johnny:

The blockage of dimensions may be a maze of mixed dimensions. You can regard it as the 'water surface', Johnny.

The present world is the living world above the surface of the water, and we, we are trapped underwater.

We can see their reflections, but we can never touch them.

Zhakang also regained his composure at this time, he quickly ran to Johnny and Merlin, and he also looked at the light curtain in front of him that could project the scene of the world.

In the scene in front of Zha Kang, a scantily clad girl is lying on the bed, doing indescribable things with a tattooed and bald man.

Zack Kang's eyes widened.

He crossed out the embarrassing picture in front of him like sliding a TV show.

A new screen appears.

Two enchanting vampire ladies are having a carnival in the swimming pool with a group of servants of their own.

Zha Kang's expression became even uglier.

He replaced it with another one.

result...

still the same.

Snapped

Merlin stretched out his hand speechlessly, and patted Zha Kang on the shoulder.

He wanted to say something to comfort his friend.

But in the end, he felt left with nothing to say.

He could only say briefly:

be strong...

At present, it seems that this light curtain can only project the projections of people who have a close relationship with the viewer, that is to say, the carnival girls in front of me are probably from when Zha Kang was still alive...

girlfriend?

Well, the invisible hat on Constantine's head is a bit dazzling unexpectedly.

Hey!

Zha Kang became a little annoyed and knocked off Merlin's hand.

He turned his head angrily, not looking at the corrupt images on the light curtain.

He gritted his teeth, and said to Merlin who was expressionless and Johnny who was holding back a smile:

Now is not the time to talk about this. Do you have a way to open this dimensional maze? We worked so hard to get here, so we can't be trapped here, right?

It's actually quite easy to open it.

Merlin glanced at the scene in front of Zha Kang, and he said slowly:

Just find someone who can freely enter and exit the dimension, or find some means of transportation that can cross dimensions, such as a boat that ferryes people across the River Styx.

I knew a girl before who could take us away.

Merlin shrugged regretfully, and said:

But I have no way of contacting her now.

He looked back at Johnny, and he said:

If I remember correctly, your car can break through dimensions when it reaches the highest speed, right?

Theoretically yes.

Johnny scratched his hair, looked at the burning residue behind him, and said:

But that was when Zatanos was full of strength. Now Zatanos is very weak and has no way to break through the dimension.

After speaking, Johnny and Merlin set their eyes on Zha Kang at the same time.

The latter pouted, and said:

What are you looking at me for?

Do you really think I'm the kind of person who can break dimensions? But I have an idea...

Zha Kang blinked his eyes, and said happily:

We have already left the wasteland. This place is like a transfer station. We can find a way to package ourselves as the evil gods of different degrees.

Find some lunatics who don't regret dying in the world, let them find a way to summon us, just like summoning the devil, and get us out of this place...

Hush!

Before Zha Kang finished speaking, Merlin suddenly stretched out his hand and made a silent gesture. He raised his head and looked at the smoky sky above his head.

He said:

Someone is coming... hide!

Johnny, you stay here, the wreckage of your locomotive can't be covered up... No matter who is here, have a good chat with him!

A few minutes later, under the gaze of Johnny Blazer, who was squatting beside the ruins of the locomotive, a warm light appeared before his eyes.

It was like a holy light descending from hell.

In the light, a guy with wings on his back and a gentle face walked out.

He looked at Johnny, and he said:

Johnny Blazer, the sinner who signed a contract with the devil.

Heaven, there is a mission for you...
