Shadow of the Beautiful World

In the canyon behind the gates of hell, Merlin and Constantine hide in the shadows at the end of the canyon.

Merlin wrapped Constantine tightly with his own magic power, so that their aura would not leak, but this was almost useless against beings like the Archangel.

Those guys whose strength is close to the Heavenly Father can easily detect the Hidden One.

After all, Merlin was also much weaker.

But fortunately, what appeared in front of Johnny at this time was not a difficult archangel...

An angel?

Constantine blinked. He hid in the shadows and looked at the scene ahead.

He said to Merlin:

It's still a star angel who is not too high. What is he doing here?

I have no idea.

Merlin narrowed his eyes, and he said to Zha Kang:

But I guess he's going to give us a little bit of hope when we're stuck here. Don't talk until Johnny finishes talking with him.

My name is Malachi.

The star angel that came out of the warm and shining light folded its wings, and the pure white feathers danced around him, like the most beautiful light feathers.

This angel is a male.

Tall and fit, with wavy hair attached to his head, just like those ancient Greek sculptures, full of a kind of beauty that does not belong to the world.

He wears white ceremonial armor.

Dotted with various epic myths belonging to heaven, he walked towards Johnny who stood up with graceful steps.

His eyes were shining white, looking full of holiness.

With a gentle, compassionate smile, he said to Johnny:

Johnny Blazer, do you like being in hell?

this problem

Um

After months of torment in hell, Johnny is no longer the ordinary soul he was before.

He had seen the ravages of demons with his own eyes, and now seeing an angel appearing in hell was no big deal.

Just as he was about to answer this question, Merlin's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

Follow his word and see what he wants to do

Be a little crazy, a little tricky, if you can't act, let Zatanos do it.

Johnny blinked.

He responded in soul:

No, this time I'm here, and I'm really going to be driven crazy when I act in my true colors.

He let out a cold snort, and took a step back.

The blazing hellfire rose on him, and in the pain of burning flesh and blood, the burning ghost knight appeared in front of the star angel.

The scorching skeleton raised its finger without respect, and gestured a middle finger towards the angel.

Then he spat out a mouthful of magma-like saliva, and it hit the angel's feet.

I like you. Is there something wrong with your brain?

The rude skeleton frantically gestured his fingers, and he roared at the angel:

Can you imagine?

Every night since I fell into this filthy damned earth, every night those filthy creatures have chased me from one end of hell to the other!

I rode through mountains of knives and seas of rotting flesh, through hellish abysses like festering festers! I'm running, but I can't shake them off!

Every night, they tear me apart! Over and over again, never stop!

A mocking smile appeared on the skull of the flame skull, and the flame locomotive behind him was slowly repaired. As the flames rose, Johnny folded his arms and leaned against the burning locomotive.

Pointing to his own skull, he said in a lunatic voice:

Look at me, beautiful fellow, my head is on fire!

In an extremely harsh tone, he said to the angel in front of him:

Are you saying I like hell?

hehe.

The star angel who called himself Malachi chuckled, and said:

Then I suppose you must really want to get out of here?

The angel whispered:

I regret what my lord, the Archangel Randekiel, has done to you.

Johnny, but you have crossed the gate of hell that no one has crossed, you have performed a miracle, and you deserve to be saved instead of being trapped in the maze of this dimension.

Do you want to leave, Johnny.

Stop talking nonsense!

The Flaming Skull stood up abruptly. It stretched out its finger and touched the star angel's white armor, leaving an ugly black spot.

It said to the angel without respect:

If you can help me, just say it!

If you can't help me, get out!

Don't be so grumpy.

The angel reached out to wipe the ashes off the armor, raised his head, and said to Johnny:

Let me tell you some news, Johnny Blazer.

A few months ago, a demon king from Lucifer's hell defected to the human world. It was called Kazan. He was one of those who had just fallen. He was powerful, but he was trapped in the gap between hell and the world.

It's about to get out of trouble, Johnny. Once it enters the world, once it opens the passage between the world and hell, those demons who followed it in rebellion will enter that world, and then their lives will be destroyed.

Ah, how terrifying is a demon who is mad and wants to destroy the world.

Johnny said sarcastically:

But what does that have to do with me?

The angel who was interrupted was not angry. He continued in that gentle tone:

You can hunt it down and drag it back to hell, and that will be your sin redeemed.

You can live your life as Johnny Blazer, freed from the curse of Ghost Rider, and if you act fast enough, you can even go to heaven to receive the reward.

Malachi looked at the silent skeleton and said:

Is there anyone in this world who is better at hunting down fleeing demons than punishing evil Ghost Riders?

I asked Archangel Randekiel to make this suggestion, but she flatly refused, and Archangel Gabriel was unwilling to turn against his sister because of a sinful soul.

They sent their own messengers, and as far as I know, Lucifer also sent a hell hunter

Malachi lowered his voice and said to Johnny:

But I think every soul should have a chance to redeem their sins. I will find a way to get you out of here temporarily, but you must act quickly.

Ghost Rider didn't answer right away.

Because Merlin's voice echoed in his head.

He's lying to you, there's no doubt about it.

Yes, even an archangel is not qualified to release any soul in this wasteland, how dare a mere star angel dare to boast?

Zack Kang's voice also sounded in Ghost Rider's mind, he said:

He must have another purpose, ask him! Johnny, ask him directly, as if you are a fool and ask him what is good for him!

And how can he let you leave temporarily?

Merlin warned:

this point is very important.

Reminded by the two teammates, Ghost Rider let out a sneer pretending to be disdainful.

He snorted, and in the burning flames, he looked at the star angel in front of him.

He said:

It sounds great, and it sounds like I have no reason to say no.

But Lord Malachi, I have been deceived enough. I hate those who use me as a weapon. What good will it do you if I do this?

If there is no benefit, why do you take the risk of offending the two archangels to help me?

Star Angel sighed.

He raised his head and looked to the sky.

The iconic compassionate temperament on his body exudes to the extreme at this moment. With the flapping of the white wings behind him, he whispered:

Because I don't want to see a massacre.

Um?

Ghost Rider snorted suspiciously.

Lucifer sent the hell hunter who is best at tracking under his command. His name is Huss. He is a typical demon. He is violent, cruel, but cunning, but I am not worried about him. Rumors say that Huss is focusing on the mission itself.

I'm worried about the one who was sent, my sister.

War Angel Luther.

Malachi emphasized his tone, and he said to Johnny:

My lord's majesty is not only manifested through mercy and forgiveness. When necessary, my lord will also use swords and guns to punish those stubborn evils.

And Luther is the sharpest war blade under my lord.

Speaking of this, Malachi showed undisguised worry on his face.

He said softly:

In heaven, there are very few angels who would like Luther.

She is powerful, but most importantly, Luther is an angel without emotion. She will not hesitate to eradicate any life that hinders her from hunting down the devil Kazan

She's more of a demon than a demon, and she's absolutely going to cause a horrible carnage, and she'll do it all with her own hands, and killing is her job.

And I, I'm just a humble star angel.

Malachi stroked his chest and said:

I reject the use of violence by the archangels to resolve this matter. We are kind souls with a conscience. We should guard our conscience. We obviously have a better way.

He said:

I recruit you as a mercenary for my lord, to end this massacre before it falls on the world.

You will be redeemed, Johnny, and I will prove myself to my Lord.

Malachi said to Johnny very frankly:

My selfishness makes me feel ashamed, but I have to do it.

I have explained everything to you, Johnny Blazer.

Star Angel spread his hands, he looked at Johnny, he said:

Now you should answer me.

Are you willing to serve my Lord?

last question!

The flaming skeleton knight held out a finger, and he said to Malachi:

How are you going to get me out of here?

I have my way.

Malachi chuckled, and the star angel said:

My lord's divine power is gathered here. As a servant of the lord, I can open a door to this world for you, but my power can only keep it open for a short period of time.

After the time is over, you will still be dragged back into this wasteland.

But if you complete this matter, I can use this as a reward to let you leave here forever.

Johnny blinked.

On the other side, Constantine, who was hiding in the shadows, also became agitated.

But Merlin didn't say a word.

Cunning deception!

Merlin put his hand on Constantine's shoulder to calm him down, and he said:

Even if he really allows Johnny to be free in this world for a while, he still can't give us a chance to really get out of here. However, this gave me an idea.

What?

Constantine calmed down, he was a little disappointed, he asked again:

What genius idea do you have?

Zha Kang, use your brain and think about it!

Merlin glanced at the sky, a gleam in his eyes, and said:

The escape of a demon can trigger hell and heaven to hunt at the same time

That guy must not be simple. Either it has a special identity, or it has mastered some things that cannot be revealed.

There is a conspiracy in this matter, we can use it, but we must first find out the details of the demon king Kazan who escaped from Lucifer's hell.

Promise him, Johnny.

Merlin thought for a few seconds, and he said to Ghost Rider:

But remember, your target is not just Kazan.

Merlin gave Johnny a face-to-face opportunity, and he said:

Anyone involved in this matter, that hell hunter, that war angel, bring them all back!

I'm not strong enough, Merlin.

Johnny pretended to think, and said to Merlin in his soul:

Zatanos told me that it is not powerful enough to deal with those three people at the same time.

I'll give you a phone number.

Merlin stared at the star angel standing in the holy light, narrowed his eyes, and said:

When you go to this world, someone will help you.

go a head!

Ghost Rider nodded.

He said to the star angels who were waiting for an answer:

Okay, I promise you!

Then let's go!

Malachi raised his hand, and the light curtain behind him struggled to open a crack that could only allow one person to pass through. He looked at Johnny who was straddling the motorcycle.

He exhorted:

You must hurry up!

Every second counts, before Kazan escapes, bring him back to hell.

Relax your heart!

Johnny drove the blazing locomotive into the crack.

Behind him, a strange smile appeared on the face of the compassionate Star Angel.

Well, a person who can sign a contract with the devil is really easy to deceive!

And the moment Johnny's tire touched the earth, a mocking smile flashed across Ghost Rider's burning skull.

Well, a person who treats others as fools is really easy to deceive!

look at that sad angel

he doesn't seem to know

He has been targeted by ravens.

he

Already a dead man.

Ten minutes later, on the desolate land of Texas.

swish

A speeding flame rounds a bend on the highway and blocks a forward pickup truck.

Johnny supported the skeleton locomotive on one leg, looking at the terrified truck driver in front of him.

A quirky grin flickered across his burning skull.

He jumped off the burning motorcycle and walked on the asphalt melted by the flames.

He violently yanked the car door open.

He hooked his fingers to the frightened and paralyzed driver, and said in a hoarse, bone-like voice:

“You need a burger in your hand”

Coke in your hand

And the pair of limited edition marine boots beside you

Finally, put your phone

Give me!
