Blood God VS Ghost Rider
Hell’s Kitchen Pier. A Harley Motorcycle engulfed in blazing flames rode up in spectacular fashion. Wang Bert, wearing Big Daddy’s uniform—a knockoff Batman suit—and holding a black spear, waited quietly for him.
Once Ghost Rider drew near, Wang Bert asked in an incomparably deep voice, "Tell me, do you bleed?"
"Isn’t that my uniform?"
Ghost Rider was utterly confused. He stopped in front of Wang Bert, stared at him with eyes burning with fire, and said in a deep voice, "You’re not human! There’s an extremely evil aura about you!"
Wang Bert could not help laughing. "You should say it like this: Bold demon, I could tell at a glance that you’re not human!"
Ghost Rider had no interest in joking around. He roared angrily, "Are you trying to hurt my daughter?"
"No, I saved her. She took me as her master so she could search for that irresponsible father of hers!"
Wang Bert shook his head. "Tell me, what kind of father would abandon such a lovely daughter? And even leave her in danger, nearly getting her killed?"
"I did it to protect her. Your sins are grave. Die!"
Ghost Rider roared and swung his chain hard at Wang Bert. Clearly, this Ghost Rider, like Hulk, had a terrible temper and could not control himself! "Perfect. I’ll teach you, on behalf of my disciple, a lesson about being an irresponsible father!"
Wang Bert snorted coldly. Dazzling red light lit up across his body. Then, with a stomp of his right foot, he shot into the sky and instantly transformed into dozens of figures, thrusting spears at Ghost Rider from every direction! "Mr. Wang is getting stronger and stronger!"
The Electro who had followed him over was filled with amazement. He knew this was not magic, but afterimages Wang Bert had created with his incredible speed! "Die!"
Ghost Rider shouted, spinning his chain rapidly and sweeping it toward the afterimages in the sky. At that moment, a red figure appeared behind him, slashing toward his cervical spine with a spear like a streak of light! In the next instant, red light flashed. Ghost Rider’s cervical spine was sliced clean through by the indestructible Vibranium Spear, and his flaming skull flew off to the side.
"That’s it? He won?"
Electro stared in astonishment. At that moment, Ghost Rider’s Harley War Chariot started on its own and rammed Wang Bert away. Then the flaming skull spun through the air and flew back onto the cervical spine! It was not over yet. With a flash of fire, the broken cervical spine instantly returned to normal! Ghost Rider was immortal. Even if he were blown to ashes, he could come back to life!
"You deserve to die!"
Ghost Rider was enraged. He turned to deal with Wang Bert, but Wang Bert had vanished. When he reappeared, he was already behind Ghost Rider, kicking him off the Harley War Chariot! Ghost Rider landed awkwardly and swung his chain at Wang Bert from the ground. Wang Bert leaped into the air, once again creating dozens of figures that all thrust at Ghost Rider! "Die!"
Ghost Rider roared, and Hellfire erupted from his entire body, burning wildly outward in a semicircle. The ground melted directly, while ropes and wooden crates around them caught fire one after another!
Wang Bert had no choice but to reveal himself and use the power of the Dragon Soul to withstand the blazing flames.
Ghost Rider took the chance to get up and swung his flaming chain at Wang Bert. Wang Bert smiled disdainfully, darting around like a red bolt of lightning. Ghost Rider could not hit him at all!
This only made Ghost Rider angrier. He erupted with flames again while spinning his body rapidly, sweeping his chain across the area!
Ghost Rider’s plan was simple: force Wang Bert to pause with fire, then bind him with the chain. That way, he would no longer have to worry about Wang Bert’s speed! "You think you’re the only one with fire?"
Wang Bert sneered. The red light around his body transformed into fiery crimson flames and quickly spread onto the Vibranium Spear, as if a fire dragon were roaring!
"Sever!"
Then Wang Bert swung the Vibranium Spear with all his might. The flames on it tore through the air, cleaved through the Hellfire, and blasted into Ghost Rider, sending him flying! Before Ghost Rider could get up, Wang Bert rushed to his side and threw him into the sky.
Then Wang Bert’s flaming figure flickered continuously around Ghost Rider. Ghost Rider seemed to be getting beaten up by dozens of people at once, his bones nearly shattering! Ghost Rider roared, but he could not resist at all. This was not only because Wang Bert was fast, but also because his Hellfire was being suppressed by Wang Bert’s Dragon Fire, and his body was gradually ceasing to obey him.
Ghost Rider could move only because of Hellfire!
At that moment, the Harley Motorcycle on the ground suddenly flew into the air, trying to rescue its master. Wang Bert flicked out a mass of blood, which transformed into two fists in midair and struck rapidly. The Harley Motorcycle was blown apart on the spot, its parts raining down from the sky with a clatter.
Seeing his beloved vehicle destroyed, Ghost Rider was consumed with rage. He did his best to lock onto Wang Bert’s figure, wanting to activate the Penance Stare!
But Ghost Rider soon fell into despair, because he could not activate the Penance Stare!
Although the Penance Stare did not require eye contact, at Ghost Rider’s level, he at least needed to see his opponent’s eyes. The problem was, let alone Wang Bert’s eyes, Ghost Rider could not even see Wang Bert’s true body. What the hell was there to judge? In all martial arts under heaven, nothing is unbreakable; only speed is unbeatable!
"Shatter!"
Wang Bert shouted, smashing the Vibranium Spear hard into Ghost Rider’s spine. Ghost Rider, who had endured countless attacks, immediately exploded. Countless bones flew chaotically through the air before clattering down onto the ground!
Under normal circumstances, the bones would have quickly gathered back together, but this time they did not, because Dragon Fire was suppressing them and leaving them unable to move.
Wang Bert descended from the sky and pierced Ghost Rider’s skull with the Vibranium Spear, forcing it upside down into the ground. That way, he would not need to worry about the Penance Stare anymore! Ghost Rider was furious beyond measure. The Hellfire on his skull blazed fiercely, and Wang Bert increased the output of Dragon Fire. The Hellfire was immediately forced back, and the skull could only remain buried in the ground! Seeing that the battle was over, Electro flew over and said with a face full of admiration, "Mr. Wang, you’re incredible. You can even deal with a monster like this!"
Ghost Rider’s power and strangeness had completely exceeded Electro’s imagination. Fortunately, Mr. Wang was here. Otherwise, New York would have suffered! "It’s not that easy. Once my flames run out, he’ll revive!"
Wang Bert said unhappily. He did not know whether Hellfire was infinite, but his Dragon Fire definitely was not—it could only last another hour or so! The problem was that there were still around three hours until dawn—Ghost Rider could not transform under sunlight! Electro stared in disbelief. "He can revive? Mr. Wang, is this monster impossible to kill?"
"He’s practically immortal!"
Wang Bert shook his head. After thinking for a moment, he took off his helmet, pulled out his phone, and called Lilith. "Lilith, bring Dr. Banner to the pier!"
Electro was stunned. "Mr. Wang, you want Dr. Banner to come?"
"Let Hulk vent a little. We’re just buying time anyway."
Wang Bert said, "Max, go take care of the other matters first. This place is handled!"
"Alright, I’ll go help Chief George first, then come back to watch the show!"
Electro nodded. Hulk versus Skeleton Man would definitely be explosive.
After Electro left, Wang Bert said to Ghost Rider, "I found you a good opponent. Don’t use the Penance Stare later, and don’t run!"
Ghost Rider burned away the dirt by his mouth with flames and asked in a deep voice, "You know about the Penance Stare?"
"The longer you live, the more you naturally know."
Wang Bert said.
"You really aren’t human."
Ghost Rider snorted. "Why should I listen to you?"
"If you don’t, I’ll call Mindy over and let her see what you look like. After all, I promised to help her find her father!"
Ghost Rider panicked and shouted, "No, I can’t see Mindy."
"Why? To be honest, I’ve never understood why you could bear to abandon such an adorable daughter."
"She has sins too. I’ll kill her!"
Ghost Rider said painfully. His name was Damon Macready. He had originally been a police officer, but after offending the wrong people, he had been framed and imprisoned. After getting out, he trained Mindy into Hit-Girl to take revenge, bringing her along to kill many bad people! To Ghost Rider, someone like Mindy was also a sinner. To avoid hurting his daughter, Damon could only leave!
"With me here, you can’t hurt her!"
Wang Bert said, "Actually, I think you should explain everything to her clearly, so she won’t put herself in danger again searching for you. If something really happens to her, killing however many people won’t help!"
Ghost Rider roared, "How am I supposed to explain it? Tell her that every time her father sees her, he wants to burn her to death?"
"The one who wants to burn her to death is not her father, but the demon inside her father!"
Wang Bert said, "Mindy will understand!"
"She’s just a child. How can she accept something like this?"
"Since you know she’s just a child, why did you bring her along to kill people? What kind of father does that make you?"
"I needed an assistant. Besides, the best way to protect someone is to teach them how to protect themselves!"
"So that’s what a great father you are. Should I give you an award?"
Wang Bert mocked. Ghost Rider was so angry that flames surged from him, but they were soon suppressed by Dragon Fire again. Wang Bert could not be bothered to pay any more attention to him. He took out his phone and browsed Twitter while waiting for Banner to arrive!
Meanwhile, the battle between Tony and Ivan’s Armor had also reached its conclusion—both sides were badly injured.
Tony lay on the ground and roared at Ivan, who likewise could not get up. "Are you trying to get yourself killed? You actually cranked the power up that high! Aren’t you afraid your internal organs will all get squeezed out?"
"You think I’m a weakling like you?"
Ivan looked disdainful. I trained my qi with the Blood God. Like hell I’d tell you that. Tony cursed loudly, "Madman. You’re a complete madman."
Ivan sneered. "Don’t make excuses for yourself, sissy. This time was a draw. Next time, you’re guaranteed to lose!"
"A draw?"
Tony snorted. "Your armor is a whole level below mine technologically. If you hadn’t been willing to risk your life, you would have lost miserably today!"
"The technology gap can be made up for, but a sissy can never become a real man. Also, I didn’t use my Vibranium axe just now!"
"Make up the gap? Dream on. My New Element is about to be successfully developed. When that happens, you won’t even be able to catch up to the performance of Iron Man’s armor!"
Tony said, "Oh, right. You don’t need to give me the method to isolate palladium. I have no use for it!"
"New Element?"
Ivan froze for a moment, then said indifferently, "If a weakling like you can develop it, then I definitely can too!"
"You?"
Tony was disdainful. "Next time, I’ll show you that the Stark Family is the strongest!"
Ivan mocked, "Your Stark Family really is the best at deception and surrender!"
"The Stark Family is best at beating people like you, barbarian."
As the two traded insults, reinforcements arrived one after another. After each left behind a final threat, they departed with their respective support teams!
Not only will I develop the New Element, I’ll also create Anti-Ivan Armor, maybe even Anti-Blood God Armor. Uh, that last one won’t be easy. Better deal with the first one first!
Tony gritted his teeth. With a powerful rival like Ivan, he would definitely develop technology faster than he had in the movies! At the pier, Banner and Betty got out of the car. Banner looked at the burning bones scattered across the ground and asked in confusion, "Mr. Wang, why did you summon me here in the middle of the night?"
Wang Bert pointed at the skull and said, "This guy can’t be killed. I want Hulk to come out and deal with him!"
Banner waved his hands repeatedly. "That won’t work. Hulk will cause too much destruction!"
"It’s fine. This is my territory. Let them fight as much as they want. I don’t care!"
Wang Bert said. Seeing that Dr. Banner still wanted to refuse, he played a video of Ghost Rider on his phone and said, "If we don’t deal with him, New York will suffer massive losses."
Banner stared at it in shock. "That’s not scientific. How can a skeleton move? Is this a scene from some movie?"
"You’ll know soon enough. Dr. Banner, letting Hulk come out and move around more will be good for both him and you!"
Wang Bert said, "I can guarantee that Hulk won’t cause any trouble!"
Banner wanted to say more, but Wang Bert deliberately released the suppression of Dragon Fire. All the bones began shaking violently at once! Banner and Betty both jumped in fright. Wang Bert said, "Banner, only you can do this. Hulk, stop fighting when dawn comes, understand? If you don’t behave, I won’t let you out next time!"
"Hulk isn’t that obedient!"
Banner gave a bitter smile. "Mr. Wang, I think you should come up with another plan. Hulk really isn’t suited to come out!"
"Dr. Banner, with great power comes great responsibility. Only you can handle this! Hulk, fight well. I believe in you!"
Wang Bert did not say anything else. He took off Big Daddy’s uniform, withdrew his Dragon Fire, pulled out the Vibranium Spear, and transformed into a bolt of lightning with Betty as he flew into the distance.
Lilith, who had driven Banner and Betty over, silently retreated. Outside, she directed the police and guards to keep watch, preventing anyone else from approaching, even from the air.
As soon as Wang Bert withdrew his Dragon Fire, all the bones immediately ignited with Hellfire at once, and Ghost Rider’s head flew out of the ground.
Then the bones gathered together, the flames merging into one. Ghost Rider threw back his head and roared, officially reviving! But that was not all. Ghost Rider first put on Big Daddy’s uniform, then raised his hand and smashed a ball of Hellfire onto the destroyed front of the Harley Motorcycle. The front immediately floated up, transforming into a mass of flames that flew rapidly toward the other parts! Once the flames had devoured all the parts, a Harley War Chariot so cool it had no equal burst out of the fire and obediently stopped beside Ghost Rider!
