Chapter 73: Ghost Rider VS Serleena Xath

"Save us?!" O's voice echoed through the grand reception hall, her tone laced with incredulity. "Rather than saving us, if you can return to us the weapons and data you stole, that would be the greatest help to us!"

Jon, standing tall and unflinching, met her gaze with a steady one of his own. "That's precisely what I intend to do, Ms. O," he replied, his voice resonating with an unspoken promise. He descended the grand staircase, his every step echoing in the silence that had fallen over the room. "I will help you solve this crisis, and those weapons and data will be regarded as rewards. How does that sound?"

"But we feel that you, a scumbag, are the biggest threat!" A cold, stern voice sliced through the tension in the room. Z had arrived, his presence filling the reception hall.

"Are you sure?" Jon retorted, his voice calm yet laced with a hint of mockery. "As far as I know, the entire earth is facing threats now, and I only threatened your headquarters. I have never even killed any of your agents."

"We are the defense line of the entire earth. If you threaten us, you threaten the whole world!" Z shouted, pointing an accusing finger at Jon.

"Z, keep calm first and let me talk to him." O stepped forward, her hand gently resting on Z's shoulder, a silent plea for him to stand down.

Turning to Jon, O asked, "Sir, what kind of crisis is it that requires such a huge price?"

"For example, I can help you deal with Serleena, the Kylothian queen." Jon's voice was steady, his gaze unwavering as he pointed to Serleena who was standing at the reception desk.

O's eyes widened at the mention of the name, her gaze darting to Serleena with disbelief etched on her face.

Serleena's face darkened, her eyes narrowing at Jon. She didn't know why the man in front of her recognized her, but one thing was certain - he was here to cause trouble for her.

Without a word, she stretched out her hand, her fingers elongating and transforming into dozens of twisted, slender tentacles. They shot towards Jon, wrapping around his body and pinning him against the wall.

However, the next moment, Jon smiled slightly. His body ignited with flames, the heat radiating off him in waves as he transformed into the Ghost Rider.

Serleena immediately felt a burning sensation, her tentacles retracting instinctively. She stared at the Ghost Rider, her eyes wide with shock and a hint of fear.

"What kind of race are you?!" Serleena demanded, her voice echoing through the hall.

The Ghost Rider, his body ablaze, stared back at her, his skull face devoid of any emotion. The room was filled with tension.

"I want to ask you the same question," Ghost Rider retorted, his voice echoing ominously in the grand hall. With a swift motion, he hurled a ball of flame towards Serleena. The moment it made contact, her tentacles were engulfed in the searing hellfire.

Aaaaaaaaaaah!

A monstrous roar echoed through the hall, a sound so inhuman that it sent chills down the spines of everyone present. Under the relentless assault of the hellfire, Serleena's true form was revealed.

"What kind of thing are you...?" Ghost Rider's voice was calm, but the question hung heavy in the air.

Serleena was no longer the beautiful model she had appeared to be. Instead, she was a monstrous entity, a writhing mass of worm-like tentacles.

"Oh my god, what he said... is actually true!" O exclaimed, her voice filled with disbelief and a hint of fear.

Without warning, the tentacles covering Serleena's body lunged towards Ghost Rider, opening like a massive maw and swallowing him whole.

"Watch out!" O's voice was filled with shock and concern. Despite Jon's unpredictable nature, she found herself hoping he would prevail. After all, Serleena posed a threat to the entire earth, while Jon had never harmed humans.

Z, on the other hand, seemed to revel in the spectacle. "Hahaha, well done, you deserve it!" he shouted, his voice filled with malicious glee.

"Hey, Z! I have to remind you, if that guy can't solve Serleena, then the entire earth will be in crisis," O warned, her voice stern.

Z's laughter died down, replaced by a look of realization. "Oh, yeah..." he muttered, his voice barely audible over the crackling of the hellfire. The gravity of the situation had finally dawned on him. The fate of the earth hung in the balance, and they could only watch and wait.

Suddenly, the monstrous form of Serleena writhed in agony, her body twisting and contorting as if in severe pain. A faint glow of firelight began to emanate from her mouth, growing brighter with each passing second until...

Boom~!

A violent explosion of fire erupted from within Serleena, tearing her body apart. From the ashes, the Ghost Rider emerged, unscathed and victorious.

[Ding! The main mission has been completed. Judgment of Serleena, the Kylothian queen, and obtained 1500 penalty points]

[Ding! Your legendary mission has been updated: Judge a thousand sinful souls across all worlds. Current progress: 61/1000.]

[Ding! The Soul Sacrifice function was successfully used, the soul was exchanged, and 600 penalty points were obtained]

With the system prompt echoing in his mind, Jon reverted to his human form. The crisis had been averted, and a sense of relief washed over O. However, a new question arose - what were they to do with Jon?

O approached Jon, her gaze steady. "Then what are you going to do next?"

Jon smiled, reaching into his pocket as if to retrieve something. "It's very simple, I want to erase your memory, so that's what I am going to do the next thing."

"What?" O's shock was palpable. She quickly donned her sunglasses, her voice firm. "You absolutely can't do this!"

All around them, agents reached for their sunglasses, a silent show of solidarity.

"Why not? Don't you often do this? You have erased a lot of memories till now." Jon's voice was calm as he pulled out a wand. But it wasn't a neuralyzer, it was the Elder Wand.

"Obliviate!" Jon whispered, and the entire hall was bathed in a blinding white light.

When the light faded, all traces of Jon's existence had been erased from their memories. O looked around in confusion, her mind a blank slate. Jon had vanished from her sight, appearing before one of the receptionists.

"Name and planet of origin?" the receptionist asked, unfazed by the recent events.

"Jon, from Karu galaxy," Jon replied.

"Did you bring any food?" the receptionist inquired.

"No," Jon answered truthfully.

"Purpose of your visit?" the receptionist continued.

Jon's lips curled into a small smile. "I came to visit my old friend, Boris."
