Chapter 1021 Nick Fury makes a plan. Is this how the holy water is prepared?
Avengers base.
A helicopter slowly landed on the rooftop. Nick Fury was still dressed in black, but his eyes looked a little more tired than usual.
Walking into the reception room inside the base, four Avengers, Steve Rogers, Bruce Banner, Natasha Romanoff and Tony Stark, were waiting for him.
"Long time no see, Captain."
"It didn't take long actually." Steve said with a smile, "What happened that made us gather so urgently?"
"Why are there only four of you? Where are the others?"
"Thor is not on Earth, Barton is at home taking care of the kids, and his wife is about to give birth, so we didn't inform him." Tony shrugged helplessly, "In short, this is what you see, one third of the six Avengers are absent."
"Of course I know about their situations, and I'm not talking about them." Nick Fury explained patiently, "Aren't there reserve members?
Falcon, Vision, War Machine, and... Wanda."
"Rod has gone on a military mission, and the others are still in training." Steve frowned and said, "I don't have much opinion on Falcon and Vision, but not Wanda."
"Yes." Banner nodded, "If the situation is really dangerous, not having much experience will do harm.
Wanda...is quite powerful, but she is too young."
"Captain, Dr. Banner." Nick Fury sighed softly, "I am very aware of your concerns, but our opponent this time is not human, and Wanda's power is necessary."
"I think Fury is right." Tony agreed. "That girl's ability almost overturned the Avengers. It might have unexpected effects."
"Tony, I think Wanda..."
"She's a novice." Tony interrupted Banner before he could finish his words, "Yes, I admit that, but she's not a complete novice, right?
Have you forgotten the scene in Sokovia where she tore the Ultron robot apart with her bare hands? Her brutality was no less than anyone here!
To put it simply, she is also a superhero who has been on the battlefield and experienced big scenes. "
Banner was speechless for a moment, but thinking of Aaron's instructions and the Seed of Regeneration that he had not yet obtained, he gritted his teeth and said, "I still think she is not suitable to participate."
"Vote!" Tony clapped his hands, then pointed at himself, Natasha, Steve and Nick Fury, "Four votes to one, one vote is invalid."
Banner didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Is there a way to vote?"
"Let's figure out what's going on first!" Steve interrupted, "Natasha, notify the three of them to come to the meeting.
Whether to participate or not is another matter, but the right to know is always there.”
A few minutes later, Wanda, Vision, and Falcon also walked into the conference room.
When they saw Nick Fury, they were visibly stunned.
"We're in trouble." Falcon sighed softly.
"It's a big problem. At least SHIELD can't handle it." Vision was very calm. "And maybe even the Avengers can't handle it."
"You really should learn the art of speaking." Tony rolled his eyes, "When we designed the program, we should have changed it to Coulson's personality instead of Jarvis."
"Everyone is here, Fury," Steve said. "We can start."
Nick Fury didn't say anything more and directly gave Natasha a USB drive and asked her to transfer the data to the computer screen.
Soon, a burning skeleton riding a flaming Harley appeared in everyone's sight, and some subsequent scenes of killing and judgment were also shown.
“This is the legend of the West, Ghost Rider.
In layman's terms, he is a demon's bounty hunter. Ghost Rider was originally a human, but he signed a contract with the devil and sold his soul to gain supernatural powers. He can only redeem his soul by completing the devil's mission.
"Demon?" Falcon asked doubtfully, "Are you sure it's a demon? Could it be a mutant?"
"What do you think is impossible on Earth today?" Natasha teased.
Falcon was speechless. Aliens, gods, mutants, inhumans, and all kinds of civilian heroes, and then a demon, it wouldn't be acceptable. Well, it's still unacceptable.
"I have a question." Tony raised his hand and said, "Can human attack methods cause damage to demons?"
"Yes." Nick Fury nodded. "Based on the data analysis we have obtained so far, the methods used by the church have the greatest killing power against demons, followed by energy, and finally physical attacks."
"That's good. The anti-demon armor might be a little simpler than I thought."
"How many sets of anti-armor are you getting?" Banner asked speechlessly.
"Seventy-three sets."
"This generation of Ghost Rider has a very strange mission," Nick Fury continued, "to find Gaius."
"What?" Wanda stood up subconsciously, "What did you say?
What does this have to do with him, with Aaron?"
"Don't get excited. I don't know what the devil is thinking." Nick Fury said guiltily.
"You're lying." Wanda looked at him calmly, a ball of crimson energy appearing in her hand.
Seeing this, Nick Fury's heart was pounding.
He originally planned to use Wanda to drag Aaron into the water. Based on his understanding of Aaron, Aaron only cared about a few people, and Wanda must be one of them.
But the current situation caught him off guard. Was Aaron's position in Wanda's heart too high? Would they resort to violence over a single disagreement?
"Wanda." Steve pressed his hand, "Fury is not an enemy."
Wanda reluctantly retracted her energy, "He is indeed lying. I can feel it."
"I do know why the devil asked Ghost Rider to find Gaius, but I don't want you to know." Nick Fury said bluntly, "This secret sounds absurd, but believe me, the fewer people who know it, the better."
"Yeah!" Tony disagreed, "The devil knows it, but we don't know it."
Nick Fury shook his head, not wanting to explain, and continued, "Ghost Rider has been taking action since Apocalypse was resurrected."
As he spoke, Nick Fury switched the screen to show a man riding a motorcycle and wearing a racing suit, “Johnny Blaze is this generation’s Ghost Rider.
He found seventy-five Gaiuses in total, and fifteen of them died under the eye of judgment."
"I'm going to kill him." Wanda said immediately.
But as soon as she finished speaking, she saw the surprised looks of the people around her, and realized that she had lost her composure. "It was just a joke. I just simply felt that the cell couldn't hold him, so..."
"Okay, stop talking. We all understand." Tony interrupted with a dry laugh, then looked at Banner angrily, "I take back what I said before. Wanda is still too young."
Gulu!
Nick Fury couldn't help but swallow his saliva and quietly moved a few steps towards Steve, "The night before yesterday, Ghost Rider found Aaron.
But he's OK, he's safe, he's not even injured."
"What exactly happened?" Steve asked in a deep voice.
Nick Fury flipped the screen and played the scene of Ghost Rider and Gaius fighting.
After reading it, everyone looked at each other in surprise.
They were surprised by Ghost Rider's immortality, the outcome of the trial, and even his words and actions.
"It can be seen that Ghost Rider is not a bad person, he just can't help himself."
"Isn't Aaron the Gaius he's looking for?"
Wanda frowned slightly. She noticed something different in the video, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
It felt like Aaron was a different person, not the same as the one they knew.
"That's not a bad thing," Banner said with a smile, "It means he won't get involved with the devil, and he'll be safe."
"That's true."
"But the matter does not end here." Nick Fury coughed twice, "Everyone here knows Aaron, he will not swallow this in vain.
So he went to find Johnny Blaze, but after finding him, he unexpectedly encountered the real devil.
Son of Hell, the Witch Heart Demon. "
"Wu Xinmo came to Earth from Hell to find the Saint Vanganza Contract. If he gets the contract, he can get the souls of thousands of fallen saints, which is enough for him to open the gate of Hell and turn Earth into another hell."
"How cruel!" Falcon gasped, "Billions of people on Earth will die if this happens."
"Destroying the world!" Tony rubbed his brows in worry, "We should all be used to it, this isn't the first time.
But can this planet ever be better? Is it necessary to have so many disasters?"
"I just want to know if Aaron is okay?" Wanda asked.
“He’s fine, he teamed up with Ghost Rider to defeat the Witch Heart Demon.
But his book made a prophecy that the Son of Hell would leave Hell to find the St. Vanganza Contract, and the gates of Hell would open because of him, and the devil would come to the world, and heaven would appear. "
Everyone:......
After a few seconds, Tony was the first to come back to his senses. "Is this prophecy... true?"
"I asked the same question, and his answer was 99.999 percent accurate."
"That means the probability is one in a hundred thousand, or maybe even less than that." Steve said solemnly.
"That's what it means."
"Where is the St. Vanganza Contract?" asked Natasha.
"It's in the hands of Ghost Rider, but the Witch Heart Demon has gone to capture his girlfriend."
"Hostages?" Vision asked.
"It's obvious that the devil won't stop until he achieves his goal." Nick Fury looked at everyone in the conference room seriously, "So I came to you."
"What do you want us to do?" Steve asked.
“The first thing to do is to protect the Saint Vanganza Contract and prevent it from being taken by the Son of Hell.
The strength of the Son of Hell on Earth would be greatly weakened, otherwise he would not have been defeated by Aaron and Ghost Rider.
They need some support. Not too many people need to go, but they need to be restrained enough against the Sons of Hell.
If he still gets the contract, then stop him from opening the gates of hell.
If the worst still happens, then we must stop the disaster from spreading and hold on until... until the prophesied paradise appears."
"I'll go." Wanda volunteered.
Nick Fury's eyes suddenly lit up, "Then..."
"No." Banner interrupted immediately, "Wanda is not very proficient in controlling her abilities. I think it's safer to keep her in the base."
"I agree." Vision nodded, "Stark and I can go.
We can all fly, which gives us certain advantages.”
"I can do it too!" Wanda said unconvinced.
"But your fighting style is not flexible enough." Banner said reluctantly, "Since it involves the Gate of Hell, there can be no unstable factors."
Hearing this, Nick Fury could only suppress his little thoughts.
"Wanda, you and Dr. Banner stay in the base (and protect me, by the way)."
"Should I stay, too?" Banner pointed at himself blankly, but soon realized, "That's right, if Hulk goes crazy, the problem will only get worse."
“Captain, you and Falcon go notify the military and Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters.
If things get out of control, the military and mutants may be needed."
"Just a notification?"
"There is also surveillance. They can just pretend to do something, but they must not do anything bad."
“Natasha, you escort Johnny’s girlfriend to the Vatican.
Regardless of whether it is successfully delivered or not, you will meet up with Agent Hill after the task is completed and protect them. The relevant information has been sent to your mobile phone."
......
St Michael's Church Cemetery.
boom!
A ball of fire shot out from Johnny's hand and knocked down a piece of firewood on the wooden block.
Wisps of black smoke emanated from his palms. Johnny turned his head and looked at Carter Slay with joy on his face. "It worked."
"Success? Do you think this ball of hellfire of yours can cause any harm to the Witch Heart Demon?" Carter Slay complained speechlessly, leaning on a shovel.
"I'm afraid he'll blow it out before I even get close!"
"Right!" Aaron added, "You are here to fight, not to perform. If you can't transform, you'll just be killed.
It doesn't matter if you die, just don't let us get hurt."
Johnny's face twitched, "What about you? What are you doing?"
"Prepare holy water!" Aaron said lightly, then in front of the two of them, he took out a bottle of white solution from the space ring and poured it into the boiling crucible.
Zizzi~
The blue-purple steam suddenly turned into white-green, and the boiling solution in the crucible slowly calmed down and became extremely clear.
"Abe, add more fire."
The Holy Dragon immediately jumped in front of Aaron and spewed a mouthful of red dragon flame towards the bottom of the crucible, causing the calm solution to churn again.
"Holy water? Is this how it's made?" Johnny asked blankly, "Why is it a little different from what I read in the book? Shouldn't it be made by the church..."
“Why bother? Just be useful.
The holy water I made is the Supreme Enhanced Edition, while the one in the church is just the normal version." Aaron said with a hint of pride, "The materials cost 5,000 US dollars, and the finished product costs 10,000 US dollars per bottle.
If you need it, I can give you a 99% discount, only 9,900."
"Haha! You might as well go and rob it."
“Robbery is against the law, and no matter how I look at it, I am a good, law-abiding citizen and a successful person.
After the gates of hell are opened, the holy water I prepared will surely sell like hot cakes. There is a limit of ten bottles per month, first come first served."
Johnny Blaze: ...
How can such a person have a pure soul?
