American Comics: Borrowed Magic By Skill, Why Should I Return It?

Returning to New York, the holy place.

Kaecilius... no, Chu Xiu took out the Reality Gem and returned to his original form.

Actually, he didn't know what Kaecilius looked like because he had never seen him before.

So he used the image of Kaecilius played by Uncle Ba in the movie to restore the timeline.

Hmm, a physical restoration.

"Strange, don't blame me for being ruthless, blame it on the Ancient One.

Chu Xiu pushed open the doors of the holy place.

Johnny and Robbie, the two Ghost Riders, were sitting on the couch, waiting for him to return.

"Did you save Uncle?" Chu Xiu glanced at Robbie and casually asked.

As soon as the words fell, Robbie, who saw Chu Xiu return, suddenly stood up from the couch, thumped, and knelt down on one knee.

It was similar to the ancient knight's salute.

"Chu Xiu, I said before that as long as you can save my uncle, I will be your subordinate from now on."

"Whatever you ask me to do, I will do it without hesitation."

Robbie looked serious.

Chu Xiu was taken aback.

"Get up quickly, you're my half-brother after all.

"If you kneel down like this, it's a generation apart."

Chu Xiu thought to himself that Robbie is not a girl, and he's not good-looking either, so it's better not to get involved.

"It's okay, let's just be polite."

Robbie, seeing that Chu Xiu didn't intend to accept him, immediately changed from kneeling on one knee to kneeling on both knees, almost knocking his head on the spot.

"Okay, fine."

"But I really don't have a place for you here."

"How about... you go to hell and help me fight?"

Chu Xiu thought for a moment.

He decided to send Robbie to the front lines to fight.

After all, the ability of Ghost Rider has a damage bonus against ordinary demons.

After settling Robbie's whereabouts.

Chu Xiu turned his gaze to Johnny on the side.

"Hey, Chu Xiu, although you saved my life, I'm over thirty years older than you."

"So don't expect me to kneel down for you too."

Johnny made a little joke.

Then he said seriously, "But I owe you my life, so just tell me what you need."

"Don't worry."

"I don't have the strange habit of making people kowtow."

Chu Xiu replied jokingly.

"As for what I need..."

"I may need the vengeful spirit inside you to help me."

The vengeful spirit inside Johnny.

Its true name is Thanos.

One of the oldest groups of hell demons, the former lord of the Flame Hell.

Roughly equivalent to Mephisto's former leader.

But later, Mephisto successfully took over, not only defeating Thanos, but also erasing its memory.

Enslaving and sealing it, ultimately making it the source of Johnny's ability.

"Johnny, if I were to strip you of your ability and turn you into an ordinary person, would you be willing?"

Chu Xiu asked.

"I would be more than happy!"

Johnny answered decisively.

Compared to being a painful and involuntary super-ability user.

He would rather, at all times, return to being an ordinary person and live a peaceful life.

"I am no longer young."

"In another ten years, I will reach the legal retirement age."

"If you can find a way to free me now, that would be the best thing for me."

Johnny was very serious.

"Very well."

"But I have to tell you in advance, this may not turn you back into an ordinary person."

"You may still retain your ability."

Chu Xiu gave Johnny a precautionary warning.

Then he opened a portal and took the two of them to the Spirit Prison.

That's right, the barrier between the Spirit Prison and Earth had become so weak that ordinary teleportation magic could be used.

Setting foot on the Spirit Prison once again.

While feeling the scorching temperature, Chu Xiu also felt the demonic power consumed in several battles being quickly replenished.

And it even grew slightly.

Chu Xiu opened his palm.

Immediately, a dark demonic power appeared in his palm.

This is the newly added energy, extremely pure, the kind that the system doesn't need to purify.

"Congratulations, Darling."

"Perhaps I should now address you as... Lord of Hell."

Hela's voice suddenly appeared behind Chu Xiu.

"Did you conquer the entire border of Hell?"

Chu Xiu turned around to look at Hela.

Do you all have a strange habit of sneaking up on people from behind?

"That's right."

"In your name."

Hela nodded.

With a wave of her hand, the ground suddenly started to move.

Two torrents appeared in the distance, one on the left and one on the right, rushing like a tsunami.

On the left was green, Hela's undead army; on the right was red, countless hellish demons.

"Darling, just as I said."

"After killing around twenty million, these demons finally became obedient."

"They have sworn allegiance to you."

Hela handed a beautifully crafted Fiend's Covenant to Chu Xiu.

Yes, the demons' oath of allegiance is not an empty promise.

After all, no one believes in the empty promises of demons.

The best oath.

Always a Fiend's Covenant that binds the soul.

"Hela, you've done well."

The moment Chu Xiu received the contract.

It was as if he had grasped the lifeline of these millions of hellish demons.

"Oh, Darling, there's no need for praise."

"You know what I want."

Hela leaned against Chu Xiu's shoulder like a little girl.

She blew on Chu Xiu's ear.

"Darling, let's conquer another hell."

"I haven't killed enough yet."

Chu Xiu glanced at Hela, who was whispering in his ear.

Finally understood why Odin sealed her away.

This guy...

He's completely obsessed with war.

But... I like it!

"Who do you want to fight?" Chu Xiu asked.

"How about Mephisto?"

"I heard you had a little conflict with it. Should I help you kill this old guy?"

Hela leaned against Chu Xiu's shoulder and asked with a smile.

"Mephisto, can you defeat it?"

"Not now, definitely not."

Hela answered decisively, but then whispered in his ear again, adding:

"But... as long as you let me go to Asgard."

"If I can set foot on the land of Asgard again, I can challenge Mephisto."

"That's your true goal, isn't it?"

"But speaking of Asgard, it reminds me of something."

"Your dad, that old man Odin, promised to let me choose an artifact from the Asgardian treasury."

Chu Xiu remembered Odin's promise back then.

"Then I'll accompany you, Daling."

"I know everything about the treasures in the Asgardian treasury. I can definitely help you choose the best one."

"Let's talk about it later."

Chu Xiu and Hela exchanged words.

From discussing who to fight next, they gradually talked about the treasures in the Asgardian treasury.

Johnny and Robbie, who came to Lingbo Prison with Chu Xiu, had a blank expression and stood still the whole time.

It wasn't until Chu Xiu and Hela walked away while chatting that they snapped out of it.

"I, I didn't hear it wrong, did I, Robbie? He intends to... invade other hells?"

"And the hell we're in now, has already been taken down by him!?"

"It seems so."

"Which means, we've joined forces with a... lord of hell?"
