I Created a Sanctuary in Marvel

Chapter 100 Fierce Battle in the Night, Holder of the Dark Tome

"This child was born from my own life."

Nadya was slightly agitated, holding Danny tightly in her arms, her fingertips turning slightly white from the force.

Danny, nestled in his arms, had a blank look in his eyes, but a strange red light flashed in the depths of those innocent eyes.

Johnny immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"How is that possible?!"

He stared at the boy in front of him in shock.

This seemingly ordinary little boy was able to subtly suppress the Ghost Rider power surging within him, as if an invisible barrier was blocking the power of hellfire.

"Is it because of Mephisto?"

His eyes shifted, and a storm raged within him. At this moment, he had no more doubts about the identity of the little boy before him.

"We must return to the Sanctuary immediately."

"I alone may not be able to protect you."

Johnny's expression turned very serious.

Having finished setting up the perimeter, Moro quickly approached Johnny and Nadja.

"Is the situation really that serious?"

He overheard their conversation and frowned.

"His Holiness the Pope informed me of this mission before I arrived."

"Danny is the human form that Mephisto created using Nadia. In other words, he is Mephisto's physical body! He can bear Mephisto's power."

Johnny lowered his voice, his gaze never leaving Danny.

He looked around at everyone present, his tone heavy: "If Mephisto successfully uses Danny's body to descend into the real dimension, it will be a catastrophe for the entire Earth."

Johnny's tone was full of worry.

He had unconsciously developed a murderous intent towards the little boy.

It's very faint, but it definitely exists.

Only by seeing this boy with your own eyes can you understand what he means. The fact that he could suppress the power of the Ghost Rider even though he clearly didn't possess any extraordinary abilities is itself the most dangerous sign.

"Moro, you keep an eye on them. I need to report this to the Pope."

After much deliberation, Johnny decided to tell Ye Feng about his discovery.

"good!"

Moro realized the seriousness of the problem and agreed without hesitation.

Nadja, standing to the side, had a dazed look in her eyes as she stared at the boy in her arms, unable to believe that she was holding Mephisto's body.

"No! That's not right!"

"Danny is a human being; he can cry, he can laugh, he can call me 'Mommy'! He's my child!"

She suddenly became agitated.

On the other side of the Sanctuary, Ye Feng answered Johnny's emergency call.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report. That boy may be more important than we thought—"

Johnny reported his observations to Ye Feng in detail.

"I see."

"But he's just a child, do you understand what I mean? Johnny, you only have one task: bring this little boy back to the Sanctuary safely."

Ye Feng's voice remained calm.

He paused, then continued, "He is not only the human form created by Mephisto, but also an exceptional cultivation genius."

"If this child can join the Sanctuary, he could very well become a sharp weapon in our fight against Hell. Since he can suppress you to some extent, his ability to suppress other demons in Hell will only be stronger."

Johnny suddenly realized what was going on.

He then understood Ye Feng's deeper meaning: to use Mephisto's power to fight Hell.

"There's one more thing."

"The troublemaker in the underworld has been confirmed to be the owner of the Dark Book. If you encounter any obstacles, contact Logan."

"Anna and Clarisse are almost at the point of unlocking their sixth sense cosmos; they have already entered a closed state."

Ye Feng added.

His voice became more serious: "I have received a commission from the Ancient One of the Sanctum Sanctorum to monitor the three major sanctums around the world."

"The Dark Dimensional Lord has appeared on the dimensional border, and he might be an ally of Mephisto. Mephisto has come fully prepared for this arrival. Be careful."

Johnny then realized just how serious the situation was.

Even the Ancient One and Ye Feng from the Sanctum Sanctorum were restrained.

Johnny hung up the phone and took a deep breath.

Although they could still contact Logan, he also had to stay in the Holy Domain. With Ye Feng absent, Logan was the Holy Domain's strongest fighting force.

What if something goes wrong at the Sanctuary once Logan leaves? He realized that this mission was entirely up to him.

"Angelic power, cosmic power—"

Johnny had never craved power so much.

"How is it?"

When Moro saw Johnny return, he hurriedly asked.

"The situation is not good."

"Your Majesty and the Sorcerer Supreme who guards the Earth are both tied down. Mephisto, that fellow, is too cunning."

Johnny shook his head.

Moro didn't know what to say when he heard this.

"What about the superhuman armed guards of various countries? Can they help?"

Moro thought of the extraordinary armed forces that Ye Feng had promoted and enabled various countries to establish.

"You can't count on them."

"His Majesty said that Danny must return to the Sanctuary safely. He is not only a vessel created by Mephisto, but also a magical genius! He is capable of suppressing the demons of Hell, and is the best candidate for the real dimension to deal with the Hell dimension."

Johnny gave a wry smile.

He looked directly into Morrow's eyes: "If the nations knew Danny's true identity, do you think they would believe Your Majesty's words? Or would they simply eliminate Danny cleanly and decisively, preventing any future trouble?"

Johnny's words startled Moro.

He was just a priest; he didn't understand the thoughts of those in power, but he understood human nature. What Johnny said could very well become a reality.

Nadya, who was standing nearby, overheard their conversation, and the wariness in her eyes lessened considerably. Danny also slowly raised his head.

Although he was young, he wasn't completely ignorant. Along the way, Nadja led him on his escape, and he learned about his origins. He even questioned whether he should have been born, whether his very existence was a mistake. But now, hearing Johnny's words, a glimmer of light finally appeared in his eyes.

A seed of hope has been planted in the little boy's heart.

"Um?"

"They came so fast! We'd already moved, yet they still managed to find us. Moro! They're in your hands now."

Johnny suddenly looked out of the church.

"clear!"

Seeing this, Moro didn't waste any words.

Darkness is spreading, and the original light is constantly disappearing.

The night sky outside the church was shrouded in an eerie black mist, so dark that even the moonlight could not penetrate it.

"Such a dark aura... the Dark Tome?"

Johnny's expression changed, and the power of Ghost Rider surged instantly!

The flames of judgment erupted, transforming his head into a blazing skull. The intense heat dispelled some of the darkness, illuminating the interior of the church once more.

Because of the holy water, the dark creatures outside cannot enter for the time being.

"Bang!"

A tremendous crash was heard as the church doors were violently forced open.

"It's been so hard for me to find it."

Kari walked into the church with a sinister grin, followed by a group of malevolent-looking believers.

He is still human, so the holy water has little effect on him. This is also Mephisto's shrewdness; in some places, humans are always easier to enter than dark creatures.

"Hand them over, and I'll let you die a quick death."

Kari grinned menacingly, toying with a dagger that gleamed with black light in his hand.

"You! Are guilty!"

Johnny raised his right hand, his burning index finger pointing at Kari.

Before he could finish speaking, Johnny's figure had already teleported to Kari's side like a ghost.

Kari, after all, was Mephisto's carefully chosen agent. In the critical moment, he retreated quickly and took out a talisman covered with runes from his pocket.

The amulet emitted a blinding black light, barely managing to block the fatal blow.

"Fire! Fire on all of them!"

Kari roared as he rolled backward, giving orders to his men at the same time.

More than a dozen gangsters opened fire at the same time, and bullets rained down on Johnny.

However, these ordinary bullets melted into liquid the moment they touched the Hellfire, and could not cause him any real harm.

"madness."

Johnny's deep voice could be clearly heard amidst the gunfire.

He swung his hands violently, and the flames of judgment, like living serpents, snaked through the air, precisely wrapping around the wrists of the three nearest gunmen.

"what!"

A heart-wrenching scream immediately rang out.

The hellfire spread to the three men, and their flesh and blood were rapidly carbonized in the flames, turning to ash and disappearing in just a few seconds.

Johnny didn't stop and turned to face the other gunmen.

He crossed his arms in front of his chest and then swung them outwards with a sudden motion.

Countless sparks erupted from his body, raining down on the surrounding enemies.

Each spark expands rapidly upon contact with its target, engulfing the enemy in raging hellfire.

The entire churchyard instantly transformed into a living hell.

The gangsters struggled in agony amidst the flames, unable to extinguish the fire that came from hell.

Kari watched this scene in horror and hurriedly pulled out more amulets from his pocket, setting up dark barriers around himself.

Johnny gave him no chance to catch his breath.

He stomped his foot hard, and the stone slab beneath his feet cracked instantly. His figure shot towards Kari like a cannonball.

The burning fist slammed into the dark barrier, each impact causing the barrier to shake violently, cracks spreading like a spider web.

"Your soul is disgusting!"

Just as Kari's barrier was about to shatter, the entire space suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Even the sound of hellfire burning seemed to be suppressed by some force.

Johnny felt his strength had been significantly weakened.

A figure clad in a black robe appeared at the church entrance at some unknown time. In his palm floated a page of a book, a fragment of the Dark Book.

The pages moved without wind, emanating a dense dark energy, writhing in the air like living things.

As he chanted, the light inside the church dimmed at a visible speed.

The flames of judgment on Johnny seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force, the flames became weak, and even his burning skull appeared somewhat blurry.

The black-robed mage slowly raised his head, revealing a face covered in eerie patterns. His eyes were completely black, with no whites visible, and his lips and fingers had also turned black, clearly due to the dual corruption of Dormammu and the Dark Book.

"Spirit of Vengeance, your flames will be extinguished in eternal darkness."

Johnny felt unprecedented pressure.

The power of the Dark Book is constantly eroding his hellfire.

"The holder of the fragments of the Dark Tome—"

Johnny gritted his teeth and forcefully activated the power within his body.

The hellfire surged again, creating a standoff with the dark energy.

But the black-robed sorcerer merely shook the pages of the book, and even more dark energy surged toward Johnny like a tide.

These energies coalesced in the air into countless black tentacles, attempting to entangle Ghost Rider's body.
