Chapter 141: The Power of Death and Hell, Lucifer Loses, Winning the Bet!
"Hode, I didn't expect that you would have a day where you lose."
Hela covered her mouth and couldn't help but let out a light laugh.
Although Johnny lost, with Hode's strength, he would certainly be able to prevent the Hell Gate from opening.
So she wasn't worried about the subsequent developments at all.
Although she had now become the God King and loved Hode deeply.
This did not mean that her personality would change too much.
She felt absolutely no emotional fluctuation regarding the Death of unimportant people.
It was just a fallen soul; if they died, they died.
It seems Mr. Hode has never lost."
The Grandmaster looked at Hode with a surprised smile.
Although he was on Lucifer's side.
In reality, this result did not surprise him at all.
Because, no matter what, Lucifer was a six-winged Angel.
Whether in combat experience or strength, he completely crushed that guy named Johnny.
However, he had placed a bet, so naturally, he hoped to win.
"I really didn't expect Johnny to be no match for that fallen Angel."
Wanda shook her head and said in a tone of regret.
In fact, she had quite a high opinion of Johnny.
It was just a pity that they would still have to clean up the mess in the end.
"It's not certain yet; who knows?"
Hode shrugged indifferently; he knew that Johnny wasn't that simple.
Although Lucifer was indeed very strong, it didn't mean he had no flaws.
"That is true; before the battle ends, there's no way to determine the winner."
The Grandmaster chimed in from the side.
To be honest, he completely dismissed Hode's words.
But fearing Hode's strength, he couldn't just blurt out his thoughts.
As for whether Hode would make a move on Lucifer after it was over, that wasn't something he could decide.
He couldn't possibly expect to stop Hode.
This was the owner of the Phoenix Force. He, of the "705u.com-53 Reading Club", had lived for a very long time, but that didn't mean he was tired of living.
Meanwhile.
In the center of the Champion's Arena.
"Fuck, this guy's strength is actually quite something!"
Johnny crawled out from the scattered debris.
With an unhappy expression, he looked up at Lucifer in the sky, the flames in his eyes flickering violently.
"A piece of trash dares to duel with me? This is simply courting death!"
Lucifer's gaze was cold, his voice filled with disdain.
Although Johnny's strength was okay, as time passed, the winner would inevitably be himself.
"It's not over yet!"
Johnny let out a roar, and the Fire within his body burst forth continuously.
Lava seeped from his body into the ground continuously.
In the blink of an eye, the entire arena seemed to be covered in fractured volcanic lava.
The ground kept cracking, and lava sputtered from the fissures.
The temperature in the arena was rising rapidly.
Seeing this, the Grandmaster immediately activated the protective system of the Champion's Arena.
The temperature in the spectator stands began to drop, but one could still faintly feel the sweltering air.
Johnny casually grabbed a piece of a shattered spaceship's iron frame nearby.
The moment he grabbed it, the iron frame began to melt rapidly.
Immediately after, it formed an incredibly sharp javelin. A skull image appeared on the javelin, and deep blood grooves even appeared on the spearhead.
There was even an iron chain attached to the tail; this was clearly a reusable ranged weapon.
He threw it with his right hand, and the javelin was launched violently.
The chain at the tail of the javelin whipped around, emitting a crisp metallic clanging sound.
Along with the metallic clanging, iron filings carried by the lava scattered in all directions.
It was as if a firework was shooting toward the sky.
At the same time, under the friction of the high temperature, the javelin's head seemed to develop a constantly rotating red shield.
Accompanied by the Fire, it shot rapidly toward Lucifer.
"Madman!"
Lucifer felt the terrifying power of this strike and didn't dare to take it head-on.
His body quickly dodged to the side, and he swung his wings violently.
Feathers scattered and floated in the air, with golden light flickering continuously at the tips of the feathers.
He pulled with his right hand, and these feathers shot out like countless arrows.
However, these shooting feathers were not aimed at the javelin, but straight at Johnny on the ground.
The sky full of golden light made the spectators present unable to help but squint their eyes.
It was as if the Sun in the sky had been instantly pulled into the middle of the arena.
Johnny pulled with his right hand, and the lava leaping in the fissures surged rapidly upward.
It was like a volcano about to erupt.
At the same time, with a thought, the scattered debris around him seemed to have come to life.
It spread rapidly upward, constructing a triangular shield directly.
And the lava erupted into columns of Fire, rushing straight upward.
Boom!
The next second, the golden light rushed straight into the lava.
The moment the crimson lava and the golden light collided, the lava and the golden light exploded instantly.
They flew rapidly toward the nearby spectator stands. If the Grandmaster hadn't created a barrier earlier...
These spectators would inevitably have been affected by this terrifying power.
At this moment, everything around seemed to be left with only crimson and light.
But even so, this lava couldn't stop the golden light.
It continued to fly toward the constructed triangular shield with its remaining force.
It must be said that this triangular shield had an incredibly terrifying effect.
The vast majority of the feathers emitting golden light were deflected directly from the inclined angle.
And a portion of them stuck directly onto this triangular shield.
Meanwhile, Lucifer, who had dodged the javelin, had a ferocious smile on the corner of his mouth.
"It's not over yet!"
His right hand clenched into a fist, and those feathers emitting golden light burst out with even more terrifying energy fluctuations.
The light became even more blinding at this moment.
The next moment.
Rumble!
These feathers exploded one after another.
The terrifying power continued to erupt in the arena below.
It was as if dozens of cannonballs were detonating in the arena.
For a time, smoke and dust filled the entire arena, and the dust even spread to the high sky.
Lucifer panted, his mouth slightly upturned.
He had tried this move many times and it always worked; after all, many people wouldn't expect this move to be able to explode.
"It seems this match is over!"
"It's simply too terrifying; even the Hulk might not be much better than this!"
"I didn't expect this to be a magician; that Fire Skeletonsimply has no way to get close!"
"Actually, there was no suspense at all; after all, this is a six-winged Angel!"
"..."
The spectators looked at the black figure in the sky and couldn't help but cheer loudly.
It must be said that this match was extremely exciting.
"It seems your friend has died."
The Grandmaster said in a tone of regret.
He had lived for so many years, and the thing he loved most was gambling.
But now that he hadn't won the bet, this naturally made him very uncomfortable.
"It seems you still haven't seen the end!"
Hode opened a dimensional space with his right hand and took out a pack of cigarettes.
After opening it, he unhurriedly lit one, took a puff, and exhaled a smoke ring.
As the smoke ring was exhaled, the Grandmaster also sensed something.
"Something's wrong!"
Lucifer suddenly noticed something wrong.
Because the chain in the air hadn't fallen down.
He subconsciously looked back and saw that the thrown javelin was actually stuck in a spaceship high in the air.
And a figure suddenly rushed out from the swirling dust.
The leather jacket on his body was already tattered, and there were even some white feathers stuck in his body.
But he didn't stop. He held the chain with his left hand, and in his right hand, he was holding a shotgun.
"Hey! That move of yours just now really hurt!"
As Johnny roared and ascended, he pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The fired bullets carried a crimson color and shot toward Lucifer.
"Fuck! How did this guy survive!"
Lucifer's expression changed drastically. Because of the close distance, he could only block with his wings directly in front of him.
Pfft, pfft, pfft!!!
As the scattered bullets hit the wings, black-red blood sprayed out from them.
The intense pain traveled quickly from the wings to his body.
This shot had actually crippled his pair of wings directly.
It must be said that this sudden scene left all the spectators present stunned.
After all, no one expected that a severely injured Johnnycould rush out.
And even be able to directly injure Lucifer.
"It's not over yet!"
Johnny, holding the chain and ascending continuously, flew past Lucifer rapidly.
Lucifer gritted his teeth and looked up, instantly understanding Johnny's plan.
Johnny's goal was clearly that spaceship in the sky.
With just a flip, Johnny dove straight into the cockpit.
After all, this was a spaceship used for filming, so it was unmanned.
But the moment he touched the spaceship, it began to undergo rapid modifications.
This time, however, Johnny pressed the shotgun in his hand directly onto it.
As it merged, the bottom of the skull-like spaceship also began to change.
Dozens of gun barrels actually appeared there.
As Ghost Rider, he could easily control his mount.
He could even modify his mount due to certain characteristics.
So, after seeing Lucifer injured, he did not hesitate to merge his shotgun into it.
Modifying the spaceship according to the construction of the shotgun.
Lucifer looked up and saw this, his expression changing drastically.
He never imagined that Johnny would think of such a method.
But he would absolutely not just sit and wait for Death; he flung his hands open violently.
Countless black mists surged out from his wings.
Then, it actually formed a cross, and the figure of Jesuscould be faintly seen on it.
As this skill appeared, the ink-black liquid quickly formed a semi-circular protective shield.
This was clearly a barrier!
"It seems Lucifer has truly fallen, to actually dare to transform the protection of Jesus into something like this."
Hode had once seen similar records in the book of vishanti.
This should have been a method to use the power of an Angel to invoke a bit of Jesus's power for protection.
But he hadn't expected that because Lucifer had already fallen...
The power provided was from Hell, so the protection had changed into this appearance.
"Do you think you can stop me?! Lucifer!"
Johnny let out an angry roar, and the gun muzzles beneath the spaceship continuously spewed fire.
Innumerable bullets, like a rainstorm, quickly struck the pitch-black barrier.
The moment they hit, that ink-like energy rapidly corroded the bullets.
But because the bullets were too dense, holes even began to appear.
One could even see the angry expression on Lucifer's face through these holes.
"Do you think I will let you succeed?!"
Johnny did not give up, piloting the spaceship as he dove rapidly downward.
This was not the small spaceship from before; the descending spaceship was jetting flames.
It was as if a small meteor was smashing fiercely toward Lucifer.
This terrifying scene made the audience widen their eyes.
They had never seen such an exciting fight.
The scorching heat caused the air to twist constantly, making it impossible to even see Johnny on the spaceship clearly.
All that could be seen was the spaceship gradually turning into a fireball.
"Damn lunatic!"
Seeing this, Lucifer's pupils constricted sharply.
He grabbed the air with his right hand, and terrifying power instantly enveloped the spaceship.
At the same time, he pulled hard toward the right.
Although it was coming with great force, he could completely use his own power to pull this damn spaceship off course.
But just then, his expression suddenly turned extremely ugly.
Because his power was actually insufficient!
"Damn it, I've been away from Hell for too long!"
Lucifer couldn't help but curse, even spitting as he did so.
He, who had always been incredibly refined, had actually turned into this state.
The reason he lacked power was entirely because his power originated from Hell.
Once he didn't return for a long time, his power would weaken.
But it had to weaken at this very moment!
Now he couldn't care about much else and could only use all his strength to deflect the spaceship's direction.
Boom!!!
As the spaceship broke through the tattered barrier, it slammed into Lucifer with terrifying force.
Carrying Lucifer with it, it rushed rapidly toward the ground.
The surrounding dust that hadn't settled surged outward rapidly under the sweep of the terrifying power.
For a moment, the entire venue was obscured, and it was impossible to see what was happening.
"What's happening now? I can't see what's going on at all!"
"That Fire Skeleton from just now was too terrifying, actually being able to make the spaceship undergo such a huge change!"
"I reckon even the Fallen Angel would have a hard time surviving that blow! After all, it's too terrifying!"
"That's really hard to say!"
"..."
The audience stared intently at the arena.
No one knew what would happen next.
Because it had clearly been a suicidal charge just now.
As time passed, the dust on the arena gradually dissipated.
On the cracked ground, lava flowed slowly along the crevices.
Johnny was seen standing not far away, forcing himself to stay upright.
The flames on his head showed signs of extinguishing.
And the spaceship not far away was already shattered to pieces.
Crack...
A figure in an extremely wretched state pushed aside the wreckage of the broken spaceship and walked out.
"Cough, cough..."
Lucifer's chest was sunken, and black-red blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
The viscous blood clung to the ground like threads.
"Damn you, I must kill you!"
After walking out, Lucifer stumbled and almost fell to his knees.
He could only look at Johnny in the distance with a hateful expression.
If his power hadn't been weakened, how could this damn guy have injured him?
"You're not dead yet?"
Johnny gritted his teeth and walked toward Lucifer with dragging steps.
His speed with each step became faster and faster, and he even began to run.
Seeing this, Lucifer's expression changed drastically; he no longer had any extra strength.
But Johnny's willpower was clearly much stronger than his.
By this time, Johnny had already rushed in front of him.
A fist burning with flames smashed fiercely into his face.
This blow sent him flying.
Johnny did not stop his fists, smashing them again and again onto Lucifer.
It looked just like a fight between elementary school students.
But Lucifer was unable to struggle and could only try to block with his hands.
But this was of no use.
Just then, Johnny grabbed Lucifer by the neck and lifted him up.
After spinning around once, he smashed him forcefully toward the spectator stands.
Bang!
Lucifer was knocked unconscious by this blow.
He lay on the ground without moving at all!
Fire Skeleton won?!
The next second, the entire arena erupted in fierce cheers.
Lucifer revealed his true form as a Fallen Angel; his figure began to grow larger, his whole body turning pitch-black, just like a demon.
A pair of black wings exuded the aura of Death.
...
Chapter 142: Infinite Recovery Dimension, A Secret That Must Be Told!
"What's going on? Why did this guy suddenly turn into this?"
"Not sure, but he looks so disgusting!"
"Wait, have you noticed? This guy seems to be moving!"
"Moving is useless anyway; he has already lost!"
"..."
The audience looked at Lucifer at this moment, expressions of disgust appearing in their eyes.
For them, they would only focus their attention on the winner.
The loser was nothing more than an insignificant stepping stone.
At this moment, Lucifer's massive body was trembling incessantly.
He slowly opened his eyes; his pupils were just like those of a goat.
"Damn Johnny!"
Lucifer lay on the ground, looking at Johnny with an angry expression.
Although he had fallen to Hell, this face was the one he hated the most.
Even though it provided more power, it made him feel incomparable disgust.
This hideous appearance even made him feel like retching inside.
"Lucifer, look at yourself; you're just like a sewer rat!"
The flames on Johnny's body slowly dissipated, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.
He knew very well that what Lucifer hated most was that Fallen Angel appearance.
It was also because of this reason that Lucifer paid more attention to his appearance and clothing.
Even in front of Satan, he rarely removed his true face.
Therefore, these words were like a sharp blade piercing directly into Lucifer's heart.
"Shut up!"
Lucifer roared in impotent rage, letting out a thunderous bellow.
He turned his head and saw the large screen in the distance, feeling even more that his appearance was ugly to the extreme.
"Hmm... So this is what Lucifer's true face looks like."
Grandmaster looked at Lucifer's ugly appearance and couldn't help but smile, stroking his chin.
It must be said, this was the first time he had seen Luciferin this state.
After all, Lucifer had always appeared polite and courteous in front of him before.
Yet, his inner self was actually so ugly and unbearable.
"It really looks quite disgusting. I don't understand why he would choose to become a Fallen Angel when he was perfectly fine before."
A look of disgust flashed in Wanda's eyes, as the contrast between his previous and current appearance was simply too stark.
Although he had obtained more powerful strength, he also looked even more repulsive.
It was as if he were some kind of debris fished out of a sewer.
"He clearly pursues power, yet he still remains so self-conscious about his appearance."
Hela crossed her arms over her chest, sneering as she looked down at that incredibly pathetic figure below.
In her view, as long as one can achieve one's goal, one must never have regrets.
Yet, merely by revealing his true appearance, he had already become like this.
Just like a Joker meant for people's amusement.
Lucifer, having manifested his true form, looked around at everyone's mocking gazes in embarrassment.
He wished he could crush everyone to death.
But now he was severely injured and had lost the vast majority of his power.
Therefore, he absolutely could not remain here any longer.
He struggled to crawl up and slammed his right hand onto the ground.
Rumble!
The ground suddenly began to shake continuously, and a Gate of Hell slowly rose up.
The other side of the Gate of Hell shimmered with purple light.
This was a temporary Gate of Hell, which could only be opened for a short period.
But this short amount of time was enough for him to pass through.
"This guy wants to run!"
Johnny's expression changed drastically when he saw this.
He hadn't expected that Lucifer still had energy reserved for an escape.
He had wanted to rush forward to stop him, but the injuries in his body caused him to collapse to the ground after taking just two steps.
"You just wait, I will never give up!"
After Lucifer said this, he passed directly through the Gate of Hell.
And in the next second, the Gate of Hell vanished from the spot.
"Mr. Hode, he ran away on his own."
Grandmaster spread his hands and spoke with feigned helplessness.
He wished for Lucifer to leave immediately, as long as the incident didn't happen on his premises.
Then everything that happened next would have nothing to do with him.
After all, he didn't want the news to spread that his guest of honor had lost their life on his territory.
That guy Lucifer was simply no match for Hode.
"It's fine, I will go find him personally!"
Hode's figure blurred for a split second, and suddenly there was someone in his hand.
Isn't that Johnny?!
Grandmaster's pupils constricted slightly when he saw this.
He never expected that Hode's speed would be this fast.
He hadn't even been able to react in that instant.
"Then I wish you success."
Grandmaster grinned, rubbing his hands together with a sycophantic smile.
As long as he didn't make an enemy of the person in front of him, what did it matter if others offended him?
However, he couldn't help but sigh that Lucifer was truly unlucky to be targeted.
Of all the people to offend, he had to go and offend Hode.
Hode nodded slightly, the glow of the Horse Talismanflashing on his wrist.
And Johnny, who had been covered in injuries, recovered at this moment.
"You can even do this?!"
Johnny stood up, touching his body, and said with a look of surprise.
Although he knew Hode's strength was likely quite formidable, he hadn't expected that he could also heal his injuries.
Hode shook his head indifferently and turned to look at Wanda and Hela: "It seems we'll be taking a day trip to hell next."
Although Lucifer is currently severely injured, if this matter isn't resolved.
He will still open the Gate of Hell eventually.
Even though Hode could close it if it were opened.
But he didn't want to run all over the World to kill those demons.
It just so happened that he was quite curious about hell; after all, he had only ever seen it in myths.
This was a perfect opportunity to see what the hell everyone feared actually looked like.
"Okay, I want to go see it too!"
Wanda nodded without hesitation.
She was genuinely quite curious about what hell looked like.
She certainly couldn't pass up this opportunity.
Moreover, with Hode right by her side, surely no one could hurt her.
Hode waved his right hand, and a Dimensional Portalmaterialized.
A scorched red environment appeared before their eyes.
They could even feel the scorching high temperature radiating through the Dimensional Portal.
"Grandmaster, we'll be going now."
Hode turned to look at Grandmaster.
Grandmaster nodded hurriedly and continued: "Rest assured, your winnings will be credited to your account and can be withdrawn at any time."
The reason he was able to grow this Contest of Champions to its current scale.
Was primarily due to his reputation.
Besides, he didn't want to leave a bad impression over a trivial matter.
Hode nodded and stepped into hell, taking Hela and the others with him.
As the Dimensional Portal dissipated, Grandmaster cast his gaze toward the arena below and couldn't help but sigh.
Although Hode's sense of oppression was terrifying, he had brought about a tense and exciting betting match.
Now that everyone had left, he actually felt a little bored at this moment.
However, a smile soon appeared on his face again.
His holographic projection appeared in the center of the arena.
"Hello everyone! Next, let us welcome the invincible Hulk!"
As his voice fell, excited cheers and screams erupted throughout the arena.
...
...
Inside hell.
On the boundless crimson wasteland.
Countless streams of lava erupted continuously from volcanoes.
The heavy scent of sulfur drifted through the volatile environment.
The molten lava covering the ground made Hode and the others look bored.
"This place looks really boring."
Wanda examined the surrounding environment, her face full of boredom.
It was, after all, slightly different from what she had imagined.
And the scenery here was monotonous.
Apart from rocks, there was only lava; if one had to live here, they would surely go crazy from boredom.
"This is my first time coming to hell. It looks... not as good as my Realm of the Dead."
Hela looked at the dark red clouds gathering in the sky and curled her lip.
It must be said, this was far, far more boring than she had imagined.
At least in her Realm of the Dead, there were some dilapidated buildings or palaces and the like.
But here, it was simply a place boring to the extreme.
"How else could it be called hell?"
Johnny looked at this familiar scenery, his face devoid of any fluctuation.
He could be said to be incomparably familiar with everything before him.
It was like a giant cage; although boundless, all that existed within it was evil and suffering.
And just at this moment, a dense swarm of figures appeared on the distant horizon.
"What are those things in front?"
Wanda widened her eyes, staring straight at the group of unknown flying objects that had appeared in the distance.
"These are the Demonic Souls of hell."
Although they hadn't approached, Johnny knew very clearly what these monsters were.
Because in hell, these were the only things that would move in swarms.
These were also the demons in hell that people tried to avoid at all costs.
Because they would devour everything they could see.
It could be said that apart from rocks and lava, there was nothing they wouldn't eat.
Therefore, when he saw these Demonic Souls, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.
It could be said that he despised all demons; as long as they were demons, their hearts were filled with violence and bloodshed.
Hode watched this group of Demonic Souls flying towards them and slowly opened his right hand.
But at this very moment, Hela, who was by his side, suddenly stopped Hode.
"Let me handle this. My Realm of the Dead hasn't had any new species for a long time."
After all, although her Realm of the Dead is immortal and indestructible, the undead and such within it need to be replenished.
The more undead there are, the stronger Hela's power becomes.
So, since there are such good things here, it is only natural to claim them.
"Then I will leave it to you!"
Hode also knew that Hela possessed the divinity of the Goddess of Death.
Subjugating these Demonic Souls would be very beneficial for Hela.
While they were talking, these Demonic Souls had already arrived above them.
The shrill roars flashed a look of disgust in everyone's eyes.
Only Hela had a smile appear on the corner of her lips.
"Come forth, my Realm of the Dead!"
Hela spread her arms, and the originally dark red clouds churned violently at this moment.
They were instantly replaced by deep green clouds and mist.
And the gates of the Realm of the Dead slowly opened at this moment.
Countless undead roared as they poked their heads out from within.
Seeing this sudden change, the Demonic Souls were all thrown into a panic for a moment.
Because they could clearly feel this terrifying aura.
Before they could make a decision, countless undead swarmed out instantly.
Just like evil ghosts that hadn't eaten for years, the moment they grabbed a Demonic Soul, they dragged it toward the Realm of the Dead.
Although the individual strength of a Demonic Soul is stronger than an undead, there were not just one or two of them.
Rather, there were countless undead; at this moment, all that could be seen were countless undead dancing in the air.
In less than a minute, the undead had already dragged all the Demonic Souls into the Realm of the Dead.
"It seems these Demonic Souls have pretty good strength."
A smile appeared on the corner of Hela's lips.
However, she did not close the gates of the Realm of the Dead immediately.
With just a thought, the undead flew rapidly in different directions.
Since it was not easy to come to Hell, it is only natural to catch a few more to take back.
Within a hundred-mile radius, demons could be seen being dragged by the undead into the Realm of the Dead.
"Not bad, I actually managed to take in over a million undead in one go!"
When Hela closed the gates of the Realm of the Dead, she felt incredibly happy.
However, this action also attracted the attention of a certain demon.
Lucifer kept flapping his wings high in the sky, with a ferocious expression on his face.
"These guys actually dared to follow! This is simply seeking their own death!"
After returning to Hell, the power within his body began to recover continuously.
Now, he had long since recovered to his peak period.
He recalled everything that had just happened, and his teeth made a chattering sound.
He suddenly spread his wings and flew rapidly toward the place where the power fluctuated.
Since the other party had already arrived in his domain, he would naturally not let go of this opportunity for revenge.
After all, in Hell, his power could recover quickly.
"I don't know where that guy Lucifer went!"
Johnny looked around and couldn't help but grit his teeth and think to himself.
After Lucifer returned to Hell, he was naturally like a fish in water.
Although he had now transformed into the Ghost Rider, he was still far inferior compared to Lucifer.
It was also for this reason that he appeared extremely vigilant at this moment.
And just at this moment, he suddenly felt a violent fluctuation.
He saw a huge figure flying rapidly toward his direction.
"Lucifer!"
Johnny roared.
Enemies are especially hostile when they meet.
He didn't even hesitate in the slightest and charged directly toward Lucifer.
And as the two collided, Johnny was knocked flying away in just a single encounter.
"Hehehe! Johnny, in Hell, you are simply no match for me!"
Lucifer's massive body kept flapping its wings, and his eyes were filled with disdain.
Although this appearance looked exceptionally ferocious and disgusting at this moment, it had to be admitted that it brought him extremely strong power.
"Lucifer! Even if I die, I won't let you act recklessly!"
The bones on Johnny's chest were slowly recovering.
Just a moment ago, when they collided, the bones on his body were even shattered directly.
"Get down!"
Lucifer flipped his right hand, and the terrifying Hellfirepower instantly pressed down on Johnny.
Johnny, who was just about to get up, faced this terrifying power and was pressed directly onto the ground.
Even the bones on his body made creaking sounds.
Even if he used all his strength, he had no way to get up.
He was even crushing the hard Hell rock bit by bit.
"Stop!"
In the next second, crimson light surged toward Luciferinstantly.
Feeling this terrifying power fluctuation, Lucifer frowned slightly.
At the same time, a huge magic barrier appeared in front of him.
The moment the Chaos Magic collided with the magicbarrier, it erupted with terrifying momentum.
A powerful force erupted in the middle.
"Chaos Magic? I didn't expect to encounter Chaos Magicand the Phoenix Force at the same time today!"
Lucifer dissipated the magic barrier, shifted his gaze to the crimson-clad Wanda, and his smile appeared extremely ferocious.
Those sharp teeth were like daggers, flickering with a faint light.
"It seems my luck is really good. Since you have already come, then stay here together!"
Although he encountered the Phoenix Force and Chaos Magic.
But he didn't have any fear at all, because this was in his domain dimension.
Inside, his power was endless, unless one could kill him instantly.
Otherwise, he could recover in just a single breath.
After speaking, he clasped his hands together, and eerie red light flickered on his chest.
The ground began to vibrate continuously, and a large hand suddenly broke through the ground.
With this terrifying momentum, a figure slowly crawled out.
This was clearly the Abyssal Demon, Hellfire!
Chapter 143: Save you? No! I am here to help My LordHode reinforce the seal!
The moment that huge body constructed of burning stones appeared, it casually picked up a huge stone and smashed it fiercely toward Wanda.
Facing this menacing attack, Wanda pinched her right hand, and the boulder was directly blocked by the crimson light.
At the same time, the crimson light began to continuously shave off the stone powder on the surface, forming a giant spike.
With just a slight flick of her right hand, the giant spike instantly pierced through Hellfire's body.
Although it did not die, this giant spike had already pinned Hellfire directly to the ground.
"Hmph! Can you deal with me with just this kind of petty trick?"
A sneer appeared on Lucifer's face. He plunged his hands into the void and actually tore the void open.
Countless Hell energies twisted under the devouring of the void, and in the next second, this void actually formed a spiral vortex.
Accompanied by Hell energy that was constantly vibrating and rotating.
And the scorching heat in the surrounding air was also gathered together by this void.
As Lucifer pushed hard, the vortex, which was originally only the size of a fist, kept growing larger during its flight.
The air along the way even began to tear rapidly and then slowly heal.
Facing this menacing attack, Wanda's expression also became exceptionally solemn.
She could feel that this was a void vortex that had been isolated separately.
And at this moment, this vortex was constantly collecting energy along the way.
These energies would be incorporated into this isolated void at an extremely fast speed.
Once it got close, it would explode instantly, then burst out the void and the Hell energy accumulated inside.
Wanda waved her right hand, and everything around her suddenly changed. Trees could be seen growing rapidly on the ground.
And the trees grew rapidly in this soil that had already distorted reality.
And what was even more terrifying was that the roots of these trees were constantly twisting like tangled pythons.
In just an instant, a huge forest was constructed around them, and the roots of these trees, the moment the vortex approached.
Actually extended roots rapidly, directly wrapping the vortex inside the roots.
Then pushed the vortex to grow upward continuously.
Although the vortex inside was constantly wearing down, the tree roots directly wrapped it into a huge sphere.
When it rose to the high sky, a shocking scene appeared before their eyes.
The sphere was even the size of a football field, under the illumination of the red clouds and mist.
It looked exceptionally eerie, just like a strange sculpture.
And at this moment, the energy inside was still constantly fluctuating.
Boom!
Accompanied by a terrifying roar.
Some fragments burst out from the gaps in the tree roots.
The sphere formed by the tightly packed tree roots appeared with countless gaps.
Under the illumination of the light, it appeared so eerie and yet so dazzling.
"I didn't expect your control over Chaos Magic to be quite strong."
Lucifer naturally knew that Chaos Magic had the ability to alter reality.
But being able to do so much in an instant is a very difficult thing.
There is so much more to this World than you could imagine!"
Wanda stared at Lucifer opposite her, her index finger twitching slightly.
In the next second, the ground suddenly shattered, and countless tree roots instantly wrapped around Lucifer's ankles and spread upward.
These roots spread at an extreme speed, wrapping Lucifertightly in an instant.
Only his head was left exposed, but the roots did not stop; instead, they continued to wrap around Lucifer frantically.
"I didn't expect that while you were using the roots to block my attack, you had also managed to make them lurk under my feet!"
Lucifer frowned slightly; he had to admit, he really hadn't expected Wanda to have done so much in that single moment.
However, there was not a hint of worry on his face.
With a roar, black Fire actually began to burn on his body.
The moment these black Flames came into contact with the wood, they began to burn rapidly.
In just a moment, he slowly walked out from the charred roots.
In the next second, he turned his head to look into the distance, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.
He suddenly stretched his hands toward the sky, and the energy on his body began to fluctuate terrifically.
The black Fire spread rapidly up along his palms, and in the blink of an eye, a large mass of black Fire appeared in the sky.
These Flames from hell were constantly scorching the air while rapidly twisting and condensing.
As the Fire diminished, that explosive energy began to rise gradually, eventually forming a sphere the size of a fist.
Although this sphere was pitch black, it emitted strange rays of light.
These rays completely shrouded the earth, instantly covering everyone, to the point where one couldn't even see their own fingers.
"Hahaha, this is the Sun of Hell!"
Lucifer let out a maniacal laugh; this could not only deprive the opponent of their sight, but he could also manipulate the black Sun to launch attacks.
He pressed down hard with his right hand, and the black Sun in the sky flew rapidly toward Wanda.
Once it got close, it would be able to burn the opponent to nothing.
"Light, you say?"
Wanda raised her hands unhurriedly, and the trees on the ground changed once again.
Only this time, these trees turned into steel, and a fruit grew at the tip of every branch.
These fruits were like light bulbs; the moment they matured, they immediately dispelled all the darkness around them.
And it didn't stop there; facing the incoming black Sun, these branches actually began to tremble continuously, as if adjusting their direction.
With a snap of Wanda's fingers, the branches suddenly shot out the glowing golden fruits.
For a moment, it felt as if this forest had burst into charming fireworks.
The moment the golden fruits collided with the black Sun, branches rapidly sprouted from them.
This was clearly using the energy of the black Sun to provide nutrients for growth.
As the roots dug fiercely into the black Sun, these fruits grew brighter and brighter.
When it reached its peak, the whole World seemed to be illuminated by these rays of light.
If the previous state was extreme darkness, this was now extreme brightness.
The moment the two made contact, the entire Worldseemed to stand still.
All sound, smell, and even vision became completely dark at this moment.
After lasting for a few seconds, two rays of extreme light burst open directly.
"Pfft~"
The terrifying fluctuation sent Wanda flying backward, and a smear of blood spilled from her mouth.
Hode appeared instantly behind Wanda and caught her.
The energy of the Horse Talisman inside his body also began to circulate rapidly.
He had originally intended to let Wanda experience and learn from the battle.
It seemed that was enough for now.
"I am still too weak."
Wanda hung her head and said in a self-reproachful tone.
She really hadn't expected the opponent's move to be so terrifying.
During the explosion just now, it had even carried terrifying hell energy.
Although her Chaos Magic had already begun to digest that energy as much as possible, the conversion speed still couldn't keep up with the opponent's absorption speed.
It was because of this that she was ultimately defeated.
"It's okay, you've tried your best. Leave it to me now."
Hode confirmed that Wanda was fine before slowly stepping forward.
"Oh? Another one here to die?"
A mocking expression appeared on Lucifer's face.
Even a possessor of the Phoenix Force could absolutely not be his opponent.
Because he was invincible while in hell.
It was for this reason that he was not afraid of losing at all.
Even if he died, he would quickly be reborn; this was the importance of a domain dimension.
"You are noisy. Shut up!"
Hode looked at Lucifer with cold eyes.
The moment Lucifer met Hode's gaze, he couldn't help but take a step back involuntarily.
Because he felt an extremely terrifying aura, and this was an indescribable deterrent force.
It could even be said that when he saw Hode, his sixth sense was rapidly urging him to run away.
Yes! This was actually urging him to run away in his own domain; this was like the funniest joke in the World.
He was clearly already invincible, so how could anyone threaten him?
"You dare to provoke me?! I think you want to die!"
Lucifer realized the fear in his heart, and his expression suddenly became incredibly ferocious.
Previously at the champion duel arena, it was because his power wasn't enough that he didn't dare to turn hostile.
But this was his own territory, and he was actually scared by a mere human.
The reason he wasn't afraid of the Phoenix Force was that he knew that although the power of the Phoenix Force was very strong, using it required paying a huge price, a price that would even cost Hode his life.
Moreover, the amount of Phoenix Force that each person's body could contain was limited.
Because once that limit was exceeded, they would die, and even their soul would disappear.
It was because of this that although the Phoenix Forcecould annihilate him, he could completely be reborn.
As long as Hode used the Phoenix Force too much, the final winner would still be him.
Besides, in hell, this was his home turf; even the Phoenix Force didn't scare him.
He grabbed into the void with his right hand, and ripples like waves suddenly appeared in the void not far from Hode.
In the next second, a giant abyss hand instantly reached out from within and grabbed Hode tightly.
"Pitiful guy, you can't even last a round in front of me!"
He understood the principle of a lion hunting a rabbit; even when facing a human, he used the giant abyss hand right from the start.
The purpose was to lock Hode down directly and then let the power destroy Hode.
Even if Hode died, he could directly extract the Phoenix Force from the corpse fragments.
What's more, in this dimension, as long as he was willing, the Phoenix Force had no way to escape.
"Are you joking?"
But just at this moment, Lucifer's eyes widened instantly.
Because Hode, who was grabbed by the giant hand, didn't have a hint of fear on his face.
Instead, he tilted his head and looked at Lucifer not far away with a calm expression.
When he saw Hode's gaze, Lucifer's pupils shook, and goosebumps instantly broke out all over his body.
Because at this moment, he actually felt an incredibly intense murderous intent.
"Damn it!"
Lucifer instantly wanted to control the giant hand to use even more terrifying power to crush Hode directly.
But the next second...
Bang!
Hode directly used the power of his own body to burst the giant hand apart.
Green blood splattered in a circle around Hode.
However, his own body was incredibly clean; he just looked at Lucifer not far away with an indifferent expression.
"How is that possible! This is the giant hand of the abyss!"
Lucifer was stunned; he knew very well how powerful the owner of this giant hand was.
Because even he could only open a portal that wasn't too big or too small.
Letting the owner of the giant hand pass through this portal to directly grab the existence on the other side.
It could be said that for so many years, he had never seen anyone who could break free from this giant hand.
But now, someone had actually used their strength to burst this giant hand apart.
What kind of terrifying power would it take to be able to do this!
At least he had never seen it in all these years.
I'm afraid even God wouldn't be able to break free so easily.
He had clearly felt just now that Hode hadn't used any other power to assist.
This was done using pure strength alone.
"I originally wanted to seal you directly, but I can't let you off that easily; after all, I have to avenge my Little Witch!"
Hode raised his head, grinned, and in the blink of an eye, his body appeared in front of Lucifer.
His body was like a hamster in front of the giant Lucifer.
But when Lucifer saw Hode raise his right hand, he couldn't even make any reaction.
It was as if the entire heaven and earth had been bound by Hode.
With a punch thrown down, it was as if someone had fired a cannon at his face.
Even though it was just a fist the size of a silver needle to Lucifer, it had directly pierced a large hole in his body.
With the influx of hell energy, his body began to repair rapidly.
But at this time, Hode did not stop; he swung his fists rapidly, and the speed became faster and faster.
Even after he became minced meat, he did not stop, but attacked continuously.
The entire hell felt as if it were experiencing an earthquake.
"I am immortal!"
It's useless even if you beat me!"
"Stop! I surrender!"
"It hurts!"
"..."
Below, Lucifer, who was healing rapidly, was struck punch after punch, his heart filled with fear.
He never imagined that Hode would be so terrifying, to the point where he couldn't even keep up with his own regeneration.
It could even be said that there was absolutely no possibility of fighting back; he could only be beaten one-sidedly.
And what was even more terrifying was that Hode had no intention of stopping at all.
It was as if he simply wanted to make him feel pain.
His entire body felt as if it were being ground over and over by a millstone.
Even if he couldn't die, that didn't mean he couldn't feel pain.
In the end, he didn't even have the strength left to wail, only to feel the pain over and over again.
A full ten minutes passed, and Hode had already lost count of how many times he had killed Lucifer.
As Hode stopped, Lucifer's body finally healed rapidly.
The only thing left in his eyes as he looked at Hode was fear.
"Damn it! You must be out of strength now!"
Lucifer's heart was filled with rage; now it was finally his turn to fight back.
"In your dreams!"
Hode curled his lips and pulled with his right hand.
A terrifying light array appeared in the sky.
The next second, it slammed directly onto Lucifer.
The light array spread rapidly downwards; this was clearly an ancient sealing magic array.
"Come out!"
After doing all this, Hode looked up at the sky and said.
A figure with a smiling face appeared in the sky.
It was actually Mephisto; Mephisto was a true Lord of Hell.
He had bestowed the power of the Ghost Rider upon Johnny, but he was wicked and could be said to never have any good ideas all day long.
"Mr. Hode."
Mephisto hurried forward, grinning obsequiously as he greeted him.
"Are you here to stand up for this guy?" Hode asked, pointing at the sealed Lucifer in the distance.
"Of course not!"
Mephisto's expression changed drastically, and he even began to quickly form a seal with his right hand.
The next second, another seal appeared on Lucifer's body.
This action left Lucifer stunned.
[Congratulations, you have prevented the Hell Gate from opening!]
[After assessment, you participated in this event from beginning to end; rewards are being distributed!]
[Reward obtained: Phoenix Force Fragment (No Will)!]
[Phoenix Force Fragment (7/12) or]
"Then if you have nothing else, I'm leaving!"
Hode glanced at Mephisto with an indifferent expression.
"Alright, come visit when you have time!"
Mephisto bowed and scraped as he sent Hode into the portal.
Chapter 144: Meeting Yelena, Kidney as a Dish, Goji Berries as a Meal
"Mephisto, you actually abandoned me!"
After seeing Hode leave, the sealed Lucifer cursed loudly.
The scene just now had left him dumbfounded.
He had originally thought Mephisto was here to help him, but he didn't expect that he would just add another seal without saying a word.
This was basically friendly fire right out of the gate!
As the true Lord of Hell, Mephisto had actually backstabbed him.
This really made his head spin!
"Are you sick or am I sick? Of all people, why did you have to offend him!"
Mephisto cursed angrily, "Do you know why Dormammu of the Dark Dimension gave up on Earth?! It's because of Hode!"
Although he was in Hell, he knew about the affairs of the Dark Dimension.
Although his strength was decent, he didn't think he was a match for Dormammu.
Moreover, even Dormammu's Dark Dimension was almost lost.
He didn't want to lose Hell as well.
Besides, he had long since sensed the commotion here.
After arriving here, he didn't dare to show himself at all.
If Hode hadn't spoken up, he would have wanted to turn around and run away immediately.
"He... even Dormammu is not his match?"
Lucifer was stunned; at this moment, he finally understood why Mephisto had sold him out immediately.
It would be strange if he didn't sell him out; if he had known this guy was on Earth earlier, he wouldn't have done that even if it killed him!
Meanwhile, at the manor.
After returning, because there happened to be matters at the Avengers Compound, Wanda did not stay here.
And Gwen also needed to go to class; it could be said that this was the first time Hode felt bored.
He had gotten used to spending time with them during this period, and for a moment, he actually felt a bit unaccustomed.
"Forget it, it's been a long time since I went for coffee!"
Hode shook his head and drove Bumblebee towards Central Avenue.
Although this kind of reward wasn't very high-level, it was better than nothing.
Besides, he hadn't had Blue Mountain coffee for a long time either.
Although there was Blue Mountain coffee at home, because of the different brewing methods, the taste would be quite different.
And it required him to make it himself, so it was better to just go to the shop and sit for a while.
As he pushed open the oak door, the familiar sound of the bell rang out.
Uncle Crewe, who was wiping a cup, instinctively looked up.
When he saw Hode, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Hode, I haven't seen you for a long time!"
During this time, Crewe had occasionally wondered why the big boss Hode hadn't come over.
Moreover, chatting with Hode always put him in a much better mood.
"I've been away on a business trip during this time."
Hode didn't say what he had actually been doing during this time.
After all, sometimes, he didn't want to talk to others in that high-and-mighty tone.
It was also because Uncle Crewe had always treated him in the most ordinary way.
That was why he liked coming to this coffee shop.
"You rich people are just so busy."
Uncle Crewe said, turning around and squatting down, preparing to take out the Blue Mountain coffee to grind: "The usual today?"
"Yes, just Blue Mountain coffee is fine, still no sugar and no creamer."
Hode nodded slowly; he preferred to drink coffee with a pure taste.
Although adding sugar might taste better, it felt like he was drinking milk tea.
"By the way, the Avengers' reputation has been getting better and better lately!"
Uncle Crewe said without looking up while hand-grinding the coffee.
Last time he didn't believe those superheroes were good people, but recently there had been a big turnaround.
And he had also heard that the superheroes had done a lot of big things to protect Earth during this time.
It was said that they even went into outer space and beat up Thanos's army that had destroyed a dozen buildings.
It was because of this that his impression of the Avengershad improved quite a bit recently.
"That's only natural; sometimes it's impossible to protect without sacrifice."
Hode nodded thoughtfully, looking at the TV hanging on the wall.
It had to be said that after solving so many troubles all at once, the news on it had become much more normal.
It was basically all about looting here and there, or shooting incidents in the Land of the Free.
Compared to before, it was much better, he didn't know by how much.
"Hode, this is the Blue Mountain coffee you wanted."
Uncle Crewe placed the brewed coffee in front of Hode.
The familiar coffee aroma spread through the air.
Smelling this familiar scent, the corners of Hode's mouth couldn't help but lift slightly.
It had to be said that he had always been a person who was quite nostalgic.
So he basically wouldn't deliberately look for new shops.
Hode picked up the coffee and took a sip; the bitter taste went down, and a rich sweetness welled up.
[Ding! Tasting Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee!]
[Congratulations to the host for feeling the little bits of beauty in life after a long time!]
[To encourage the host to continue enjoying life, a building is rewarded!]
Hearing the familiar voice of the system, Hode didn't have much fluctuation in his heart.
After all, in the past, he had indeed cared quite a bit about these things.
That was all before he met Wanda; at that time, his strength was not that powerful at all.
Now, he only needed a single thought to change the World.
Although his strength was getting stronger and stronger, he didn't feel bored because of this.
Instead, he was able to enjoy life with more peace of mind.
Many times, life was much simpler than he had imagined.
Ding-a-ling~
At this moment, the coffee shop's bell gave a light ring.
Hode looked back, and when he saw who it was, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Because a graceful figure had entered, and it was actually Yelena.
Hode was stunned at first, then frowned slightly.
But seeing Yelena order a coffee without even raising her head, Hode realized that she probably wasn't actually following him.
"Yelena, you've come again today."
When Uncle Crewe saw Yelena, he greeted her familiarly.
This further confirmed Hode's suspicion.
"Uncle Crewe, give me a cappuccino, please."
Yelena took a stack of documents out of her backpack and said without looking up.
"Sure."
Uncle Crewe agreed and quickly returned to the bar.
"I didn't expect you to come here."
Just as Yelena was reading intently, she noticed someone sitting opposite her, though she didn't know when they had arrived.
This startled her, because her reflexes were sharp; it should have been impossible for her not to notice someone approaching.
But when she looked up, she couldn't help but be stunned—the person who had appeared was actually Hode.
"Hode, why are you here?"
Yelena looked surprised; she had never known that Hodewould come to such a niche place.
"I've been coming here for over a year."
Hode spread his hands and glanced at Yelena, and had to admit that her figure was really good.
"Are none of your lovers out today?"
Yelena glanced around.
It must be said that Lorna's actions last time had terrified her.
So afterwards, she didn't dare to look into any news regarding Hode at all.
"Naturally, they aren't."
Hode shrugged helplessly: "They all have their own things to do, and I'm the only one with nothing to do."
"The dignified Hode actually has nothing to do."
Yelena covered her mouth and chuckled subconsciously.
After all, she knew that Hode was a shareholder in many companies.
But thinking of Hode's strength, she understood.
With Hode's strength, everything was within his reach.
But the more that was the case, the easier it was to be idle.
"What are you looking at?"
Hode became interested and examined the documents in front of Yelena.
Yelena noticed Hode's curious expression, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
She stood up and sat down right next to Hode.
"Take a look, this is a guy I'm investigating this time; he has always been..."
As Yelena spoke, her whole body was pressed against Hode.
At the same time, her left hand was a bit restless, and she blinked as she looked at Hode.
After all, she had felt quite annoyed after being interrupted last time.
Now that Hode was here alone, wasn't this a good opportunity?
For someone like her, she loved the strong the most.
She hadn't thought about anything else; she just felt that even being a servant in Hode's house would be nice.
After all, this was the only possibility of getting close to Hode.
Besides, executing missions for the Red Room every day was quite tiring.
Although she could earn a lot of money, life always felt very exhausting.
"You, I didn't expect you to have such thoughts."
Hode smelled the faint fragrance coming from beside him, and couldn't help but have a few more thoughts in his mind.
After all, not everyone eats at home every day; occasionally, one would go out to eat some street junk food.
After all, satisfying a craving was quite nice too.
"I didn't expect you to know Ms. Yelena, Hode."
And just at this moment, Uncle Crewe placed the coffee in front of Yelena with a meaningful smile.
Yelena noticed Uncle Crewe's gaze, and instead of letting go, she hugged Hode's arm.
After Uncle Crewe left, Yelena turned her gaze back to Hode: "Are you curious about my mission? I have many other documents in my room."
Hode really hadn't expected Yelena to say something so shocking.
After all, this really surprised him, because it was too fast.
And just as Hode was about to nod, Yelena suddenly felt a chill.
She looked into the distance subconsciously, only to see a woman with dark green hair standing in the distance.
Her eyes were staring straight at her, and although the distance was great, it made her hair stand on end.
She really hadn't expected Lorna to appear here.
In that instant, she instantly became well-behaved, returning to her seat and sitting upright in the blink of an eye.
She looked just like a model student, and her expression became incredibly proper.
She could swear that ever since she became an Agent, she had never been that serious.
One could even say that the fear Lorna brought her now was even more terrifying than Death.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Hode was confused; in this instant, Yelena's actions were far beyond his imagination.
Just a moment ago, she had made him so angry that he had clenched his fists, and yet now she had just gone back.
What was this back-and-forth behavior?
Just then, Lorna suddenly stood up, took a banknote out of her pocket, and placed it on the table.
"Mr. Hode, I just received a call and have some urgent business; see you next time."
After saying this, she hurriedly left, not daring to stay for even a moment longer.
"Huh? Where did that call come from? Is she schizophrenic?!"
Hode was stunned; he knew that Wanda and her family had some mental issues to some extent.
But he had never heard that Yelena had them too?!
However, watching Yelena leave, Hode could only sigh helplessly.
It seemed that going out to eat some junk food wouldn't work out.
He could only shake his head helplessly, finish his Blue Mountain coffee, leave a stack of bills, and turn to leave.
The reason he always left so much money was entirely because this shop's business was very mediocre.
He didn't want to see this shop go out of business one day.
For the next period of time, Hode stayed at home, doing nothing.
Either he would go to the Realm of Gods to hang out with Hela.
It had now been a month since the Fallen Angel incident.
This past month could be said to be incomparably peaceful.
Either he would chat with Wanda, or accompany Gwen to the park to watch the sunset.
This also allowed him to return to that comfortable life.
He even took quite a bit of time to take Wanda on a trip.
With the Dimensional Portal, it must be said that it was very convenient to go anywhere.
Today he might be looking at an iceberg, and the next day he would already be looking at a desert.
It must be said that Hode really liked looking at natural scenery.
It was just a pity that after waking up today, Hode couldn't find anyone suitable to hang out with at all.
It was now approaching the end of the year, and Wandawas basically dealing with things.
And Gwen had to find a way to pass her school exams during this final period.
As for Hela, it went without saying; there were a bunch of annoying matters in the Realm of Gods that Hela needed to deal with every day.
Although he thought about whether to go to the X-MenWorld, he ultimately gave up.
"Forget it, let's get up and eat first!"
Hode shook his head, put on his clothes, and walked downstairs with shuffling steps.
Although he didn't need to eat now, this was his greatest hobby.
If life wasn't for eating and playing, then it would be meaningless.
"Mr. Hode, I have prepared lunch!"
Just as he walked down the stairs, he saw Lorna running over with an excited face.
And she was wearing an apron, which looked quite cute.
Probably because of the cooking, there was even a little bit of oyster sauce stuck to her face.
"What delicious things did you make again today?"
Hode casually pulled out a tissue, wiped the oyster sauce off Lorna's face, and asked with a smile.
It must be said that Lorna's cooking skills had been getting better and better lately.
Judging by Imelda's guidance, at least she had reached the point where it was edible now.
"Today I made chives with scrambled eggs, beef kidneys, horse kidneys, dog kidneys..."
Listening to the dishes Lorna listed, Hode was completely stunned.
These dishes didn't sound right at all; why were they all centered around kidneys?
"Lorna, who told you to make all this?"
Lorna had just reached adulthood, so how could she know so many messy things!
Besides, he knew that although Lorna was an adult, her way of thinking wasn't much different from a child's.
After all, there was no helping it, having been locked up in there for such a long time.
"I looked it up in a book; it said that as long as you make this for boys to eat, they will be very happy!"
Lorna widened her eyes in excitement, and her eyes looked sparkling.
Hearing this, Hode's eyelid twitched slightly.
In that instant, he suddenly had a thought.
That was to drag out the person who published this book and assassinate them.
This was simply nonsense; it was the first time he had heard such an outrageous thing.
"Let's go, Brother Hode!"
Lorna excitedly led Hode to the dining table.
When Hode saw the basins of kidneys on the table, his eyes nearly popped out.
And what was even more deadly was that there was a cup of Water next to it.
To be precise, this wasn't actually Water; four-fifths of it was goji berries.
Only one-fifth of it was Water.
"Do you not like it?" Lorna asked, looking at Hode's strange expression with an aggrieved look.
Looking at the pitiful-looking Lorna, how could Hode say he didn't like it?
He gritted his teeth, sat down at the dining table, and bit the bullet to eat the food in front of him.
After eating everything, he felt as if his entire body was being scorched by Fire.
Although his Ancient Bloodline could grant immunity to damage, this was a potent tonic; it was a completely different concept.
It had to be said, Hode only had one thought left in his mind now.
