Volume 5: The Young Wolf Seeks Home Chapter 49 I grit my teeth and stamp my feet. I accept this deal.
Mason constantly dissipates and reorganizes the structure of water molecules in the area covered by heavy rain. To put it more figuratively, he "flashes" at a high frequency wherever there is water.
He tests his new abilities while luring the indistinguishable Ghost Rider from his companions.
When approaching the edge of the city, Mason stopped, spread out his five fingers, and let a series of "bubbles" of different sizes float in the palm of his hand to form the astronomical system of the solar system. When the Ghost Rider followed closely behind him and rushed down from the sky behind him, he flicked his fingers, letting the bubbles in his hand hit the bastard who came to disrupt the situation.
The first three bubbles hit him directly, but the subsequent ones were transformed into cold ice cubes by Mason using the simple natural science principle of the three-state transformation of water.
But the result is the same.
The carefree Ghost Rider wasn't even afraid of the fists of Kryptonians, so how could he be afraid of bubbles on his face? He just tilted his head and let Mason's tentative attack hit him, and he turned into a ball of high-temperature steam and disappeared in an instant.
"Water bullets have no power when fired continuously. When they turn into ice cones, they are almost the same as small-caliber bullets. However, this transformation consumes energy. At present, it is better to use a gun directly than to use this thing to hit people.
It seems that the most suitable environment for me is probably the ocean.
In a situation where there is an endless amount of water, the strength I can mobilize is multiplied. Hmm, maybe I can learn from Luo and carry a water gourd on my back or something?"
Mason blinked and assessed his mutant ability. Before it was practiced to the next stage, the new skill of controlling water could only be used as an auxiliary means.
"Bang"
He poked the trident in his hand into the ground, making a crisp metallic hissing sound, and then looked at the Ghost Rider who was standing with his hands on his hips next to the cool flying motorcycle in front of him, grinning at him with burning eyes.
Mason observed it for a few seconds, then looked at his cool motorcycle and said:
"Your car...was stolen from Explosive Wolf?"
"Oh, you're an expert!"
Johnny Blaze was also observing Mason. He praised Mason for his profound research and extensive knowledge of motorcycles. He could tell at a glance that this space motorcycle once belonged to Robert the Explosive Wolf.
The burning skull grinned an evil smile, whistled at a temperature of several thousand degrees, and said:
"I won it from that idiot in a bet. It was in a dead A-level world. He was tricked into fighting against the Cleaners as a brainless cosmic mercenary. After he killed 17 conquerors in a row, the higher-ups sent me to deal with him.
Guess what?
The guy could tell at a glance that I was not someone to be trifled with, so he made a bet with me that if I lost he would load me into a cannon and shoot me into the sun, but I won.
Although I cheated.
But a win is a win.
I was originally going to capture him and transform him into a Conqueror, but because of his nice car, I let him go, just like I'm going to let you go now.
Even if you're planning something very dangerous to the world, like that weird energy pod you just put in the Weapon X project base..."
The Skeleton Knight stretched out his little finger and picked the booger on the burning skull. He said:
“Let’s make a deal, Mason.
Come and sign a contract with me, and inherit the glorious title and power of "Ghost Rider". I will give you this fine car and give you an extra three months' salary as a reward.
You have a better brain than I do, Mephisto will definitely be happy.
This way, you and your friends will have someone to protect you and won't have to worry anymore, and I can also be freed from this damn endless parade and find a world to live out the rest of my life.
This is good for all of us.”
"Yeah, good for you."
Mason nodded seriously and said:
“But I don’t see how it would benefit me?
If this is really a good job, everyone will fight for it, and it won't be my turn. What's more, I am now a B-level member of the Star Society and I am also serving Mephisto, right? "
He pointed to his arm tattoo and said:
"I have already signed a contract with it. This thing has brought me bad luck until now, so I have a suggestion for you..."
He stroked his bag, released the Ghost Motorcycle that he had restored and replaced with a better engine and exhaust pipe, patted its seat, and said to Johnny:
"I'll return your car to you, and you can just pretend nothing happened, pretend you didn't see anything, and take your baby with you and leave this world, okay?"
The moment Mason released the Ghost Motorbike, the car felt the presence of its old master.
It neighed like a loyal warhorse and galloped towards the burning Johnny, then circled around him continuously, leaving a trail of scorched burn marks on the ground.
It knew that Johnny was not really abandoning it when he was forced to leave, and it did not blame Johnny for leaving it in the wasteland for seventeen years.
But it doesn't care, someone does!
Johnny's current Space Ghost Motorcycle was originally hovering peacefully in the air, but after seeing the Ghost Motorcycle and Johnny being so intimate, it suddenly became irritable.
Thick demonic fire spewed out from the exhaust pipe of this spaceship, representing the wrath of the "mistress on top" at this moment.
how?
Having me is not enough, you are still unclear with your ex?
Are you so shameless as to show your affection in front of me?
You guys are very brave!
Because of the commotion, Johnny's original Harley also got into trouble.
The scorching flames covered its body, allowing it to be highly demonized without a rider, with the same skull embellishments and the same ghost claw carvings.
Two evil ghost motorcycles that seemed to have come out of hell were facing each other.
The Ghost Motorbike repaired by Mason kept throttle-ing, as if mocking the weird-looking "deformed car" in front of it. Look at it, the poor thing can't even put a wheel together even if it's disassembled into parts. Isn't a car without wheels just a disabled car?
You went to Johnny and showed your affection while I was away, right?
Okay!
Today I will let you know what the "dignity of the queen" means.
The next moment, under the stunned gaze of Mason and Johnny Skull, the two jealous ghost motorcycles collided fiercely like bullfighting with red eyes.
Just the first collision caused the hellfire to erupt, and also caused Johnny's two beloved cars to shatter and various parts to fly out, as if "the equipment had exploded."
What a cruel move!
Are they trying to take each other's lives?
"Hey, stop fighting!"
The burning skull cannot stop this, nor can it stop that.
Both cars were his favorites, and he couldn't give up either of them. He could only wave his skeleton claws awkwardly at the side, trying to separate the two.
But then, this guy turned his head and stared at Mason who was watching the show. His overly expressive skull face showed a fierce expression and he cursed:
"I think you are just trying to cause trouble on purpose! You bastard."
"Ha, some people can't take care of their beloved cars and make their homes uneasy, so why do they blame me?"
Mason snorted, leaning on his trident and said sarcastically:
"You obviously have no ability but you still want to ride two cars. Now you blame me for the overturned car? I shouldn't have helped you repair the broken car you abandoned to the perfect state now, right?"
"A sharp-tongued little devil!"
Johnny was extremely angry because his beloved cars were killing each other. Ghost Rider's mental state was unstable to begin with, and Harley was not slandering him when she said he was crazy.
This is what happened when this guy transformed into Ghost Rider and was stimulated by the spirit of vengeance in his body.
There is a kind of coolness that comes from someone with a missing brain stem.
It roared, opened its huge mouth, and spewed high-temperature magical hellfire magma towards Mason, intending to capture Mason first and then stop the fight between its beloved cars.
No matter what, it must bring Mason back to Mephisto today.
It's really tired of this damn job.
However, facing Johnny's hellfire attack, Mason had no intention of dodging and allowed himself to be covered by the magical fire as hot as magma. But a second later, the flames that were enough to burn the Kryptonian's skin mysteriously dissipated.
It’s not that Mason’s newly acquired ability is strong enough to extinguish Ghost Rider’s hellfire, but Mason has brains and made the most appropriate choice in the face of the current dire situation.
Covered in hellfire, he had a phoenix egg in his hand.
Wherever the unfortunate phoenix Fox went, the scorching hellfire was completely absorbed, and the frequency of the vibration of the warm egg allowed Mason to feel its joy and cheers.
It was as if he was speaking vulgar words in the most elegant bird language.
Give me more, I like it!
The Ghost Rider sprayed hellfire magma for nearly ten seconds without hurting Mason at all. When it realized something was wrong, it withdrew its power and then saw the egg in Mason's hand.
The latter's shell shines with a beautiful orange-red light like a flaming feather veil, indicating that Fox may break out of the shell at any time.
"You know that even without the Phoenix Egg, your Hellfire can't hurt me, right?"
Mason, holding the bird egg, said quietly:
"I think you should be able to sense that I also have the gift of fire from Mephisto from the fact that I can repair your Ghostbike.
Everyone's fire is caused by the same devil, and there is no way to break it."
"If Hellfire doesn't work, can't I just use normal fire?"
The Ghost Rider screamed and rushed forward, using his hands to gather force as if to release a Spirit Bomb. When he got close to Mason, he transformed his chains into a sledgehammer wrapped in flames and smashed it down on Mason's head.
With a loud clang, Neptune's trident and the flaming hammer collided.
The high-temperature flame rolled back, but Mason took a deep breath and blew forward. The bone-chillingly cold air rose along the trident and soon blew away the ordinary flame attached to the Ghost Rider.
The gentle breeze and drizzle in the surroundings suddenly turned into heavy rain, and those flames without magical power were quickly extinguished.
As the cold raindrops hit him, he looked at Johnny Skull in front of him as if he were a fool and said:
"I'm Water Man, Johnny, and you're trying to burn me to death? How is this any different than the insane captain trying to strangle the robot to death?
Give up.
Your methods are powerful but they are useless to me.
I dare to talk to you here because I have confirmed that no matter how powerful you are, you can't hurt me."
"Well, you might be too confident, little Mason!"
The enraged Skeleton Johnny smiled crookedly, and the evil flames in his eye sockets swirled into a vortex. This was the starting move of the Eye of Judgment.
It threatens:
"I knew you were a bad guy the first time I saw you. You have a lot of blood on your hands, right? Do you believe that I can send you to hell with just one glare?
Lay down your weapons and follow me!
Your magic fire obviously has an unknown origin, maybe it was stolen.
Listen to me, Mephisto is still sleeping now, but he will notice it sooner or later. Now that you have signed a contract with me and become the Ghost Rider, you don't have to worry about him taking revenge on you later.
This is all for your own good, so don’t be ungrateful.”
"I dare to use it openly, so I am not afraid of it coming to me. Johnny, you still don't understand why I rejected you. I have no complaints about you personally. I like your crazy personality charm very much.
If I had a choice, inheriting your power and becoming a Ghost Rider would also be one of my possible career plans."
Mason sighed and said:
“However, I want to destroy the Star Society. Mephisto and I will eventually fight. Becoming its Ghost Rider now would mean giving up. I won’t do such a thing.
As for the Eye of Judgment...
Well, I am a person who has committed so many evil things that I cannot bear it, but are you sure you dare to use it?"
He glanced at Johnny and said:
"If I go to hell, who will take over your position as the Ghost Rider? If there are many people with the Devil's Fire in the parallel world, you wouldn't have to suffer for seventeen years without finding a successor, right?"
"You just said you want to destroy the Star Society? Ha, what a boast!"
Johnny Skull was concerned about what Mason had just said. The vortex of fire in his eye sockets dissipated, and he turned into a sarcastic look and laughed:
"The Constellation is only Mephisto's left hand, and the Ghost Riders, which are composed of Ghost Riders that are constantly being collected from parallel worlds, are its right hand.
I am, however, the current Grand Master of the Ghost Knights.
Each of the 13 Ghost Riders under my command is a talented person. Destroying a star alone is a piece of cake for us. If you are not lying, we will face each other sooner or later in the future.
In order to prevent you from dying too miserably, I should probably kill you here as a mercy.
You know, if you want to kill Mephisto, you have to get past us first.
But can you?
"Why don't you try and know?"
Mason snorted, retracted his trident and stepped back.
At the moment when Johnny Skull howled and rushed over to strangle his neck, the precious trident was thrown to the ground, and he picked up something from his bag and held it in his hand.
I saw that the thing was bright orange, with clear sizes and sharp edges. Holding it between five fingers gave it a unique sense of power. If you hit it in the right place, it could trigger several times the critical hit!
It was the speed brick that Barry had given him before.
Mason shook it a few times as if charging power, then activated the fully charged speed force ring on his finger to put himself into speed force state, and then hit Johnny Skull, who was howling like a pig, with a brick.
At this moment, there was also an information label shining in his eyes:
Speed Force Fragment Condensation
Quality: Legendary manufacturing material, energy storage
Effect: This item is a high-energy Speed Force aggregation, which can be used to charge all devices driven by the Speed Force, or added to the manufacturing process to add Speed Force-related properties to the finished product.
warn!
Every bit of energy in the polymer is vibrating at high speed, so it is very important to keep it still at all times. Once kinetic energy is applied, the consequences will be quite extreme.
warn!
If you don't have super speed, never use this item as a weapon!
Producer: Barry Allen
Item Description: What are you afraid of? It won't be a big deal. Come on, stretch out your hand and play it to see the effect. Don't forget to buy yourself accident insurance in advance.
Mason knew that every atom in this speed brick was constantly moving at high speeds, and once it started moving, nothing could stop it.
But the extreme consequences?
Ha, Mason needs extreme fucking consequences now!
"Bang"
The brick was aimed at the burning skeleton, and through the law of kinetic energy transfer, the terrifying energy gathered by an entire speed brick was applied to Johnny Skull's forehead.
The latter's overly emotional skull face had a "you're so mean" grin on it.
The next moment, its entire body was torn into pieces in the kinetic explosion, turning into flying debris and light spots that dissipated into every corner of the world.
Its protective hellfire was shattered by a brick, and Johnny Skull's ashes were blown all over the world.
Really crushing bones and scattering ashes!
The remaining recoil force caused Mason's body to explode instantly, but he was already a water man, so he restored himself to normal through the water reorganization in the next second.
"What a disgusting feeling! But I will be back! Mason Cooper, remember this, from today on! You are the most wanted criminal of the Ghost Riders!
Don’t let me catch you!!!”
Johnny Skull's screams were still echoing in the air as the space motorcycle whizzed out to "put" Johnny back together after he was smashed into tens of thousands of pieces by the Speed Force bricks.
But Ghost Rider's former motorcycle remained there, lonely and confused.
It didn't lose in the motorcycle competition.
The moment it saw the space motorcycle rushing up, it realized that it had no reason to stay with Johnny anymore, because the rider who had been so kind to it already had a better car...
It doesn't need itself anymore.
The current situation is like the complicated feelings of the heroine who has been missing for 17 years and sees that the hero has a new lover who loves him very much. I am also a vehicle with self-esteem. In this case, it would be impolite to force my way into someone else's relationship.
"That guy is a lunatic, but he's also a good person. Not only did he not hurt me, he also gave me a lot of reminders. It seems that Mephisto is surrounded by a bunch of traitors.
If we were in a different environment, we would definitely be friends, but now we can only do our own things. "
Mason took back the half-broken Speed Force Brick. It was thanks to the power of this thing that he was able to beat Ghost Rider into that state with just one brick. Unfortunately, it could only be used this once.
He picked up the trident, held the phoenix egg and walked to the dazed and lost evil spirit airport, then reached out and patted the handlebars of the sad motorcycle.
He whispered:
"He has no choice but to serve Mephisto. Give him some time. I believe he will come back to you. Before you reconcile with him, I will lend you my garage for the time being.
Take me back.
There are still a lot of things to deal with over there. I can’t stay in this damn place at night. God knows how long the self-destructive captain can hold on..."
