<h4>Chapter 941: End</h4>


    Lin Rui believed that, despite the strength of his attack, it should not have had much impact on ckheart. After all, ckheart had recently consumed arge amount of soul power, which should have increased his strength to a formidable level. This would exin why he was confident enough to fight against his father, a seasoned demon.


    Hoo~


    As expected, after Lin Rui spoke, a faint trace of ck, ethereal energy began to emerge from the ground of the ruined area in front of him. These energies seeped up from the ground, slowly converging and eventually converging in the center of therge pit created by Lin Rui’s attack, forming a swirling mass.


    Lin Rui watched as the ck energy coalesced and took the shape of a person. As the energy solidified, it became clear that the figure was ckheart, who had been dispersed by Lin Rui’s attack but was now fully restored.


    “You!…” ckheart began to speak but was interrupted by the sudden appearance of a fiery figure rushing up to him.


    Boom!


    As soon as ckheart began to recover, Johnny, who had been waiting for this opportunity, rushed over and grabbed ckheart by the neck, and mmed him to the ground. The hellfire on Johnny’s body intensified, zing even brighter.


    “Hahaha~ It’s no use! Your hellfire has no effect on me!” Despite being strangled by Ghost Rider and being subjected to the power of hellfire, ckheartughed wildly as he shouted.


    “What about this?!” Upon hearing ckheart’s words, Johnny, who had transformed into Ghost Rider, narrowed his eyes and looked down at ckheart’s blood-red eyes


    “Did you forget? I have no soul!” Despite Ghost Rider’s actions, ckheart continued to smile and reminded him of this fact with an unabated smile on his face.


    “That was before! Just now, you consumed arge number of souls. Those souls were the ones who let go of their morals andmitted heinous crimes!” Hearing ckheart’s words, Johnny’s skull moved as he spoke, emphasizing his words.


    Lin Rui had previously reminded Johnny that if they were unable to prevent ckheart from absorbing the evil souls, they should look for an opportunity to use Ghost Rider’s Penance Eye to defeat him.


    ckheart, who had consumed countless evil souls, would experience immense pain and eventually sumb to the power of the Penance Eye.


    Upon hearing Johnny’s words, ckheart froze for a moment and fear shed through his red eyes. The ck mist then began to pour out of his body as he struggled violently, trying to break free from Johnny’s grasp.


    However, Johnny was not about to let this opportunity slip away. He held onto ckheart firmly, not letting him escape in the form of ck mist. No matter how much ckheart struggled, Johnny’s skull ws remained firmly sped on his shoulders, refusing to let him go.


    “Look into my eyes! Feel the pain that those souls within your body have been suppressing for a hundred years, along with the crimes they havemitted!” As ckheart struggled, Johnny stared into his eyes and shouted.


    Buzz buzz!


    As Johnny spoke, a strong mental shockwave surged from his ck, empty eye sockets, piercing directly into ckheart’s eyes.


    “No!~~…” ckheart shouted with horror-filled eyes as he involuntarily met Johnny’s gaze.


    The next moment, ckheart, who was looking into Johnny’s eyes, had lost his voice, and streaks of gray light shed from time to time in his blood-red eyes. Under the Penance Gaze, ckheart, who has devoured so many evil souls, is suffering the pain that those souls once inflicted upon their victims.


    Shout!


    Two secondster, Johnny released ckheart’s shoulders. At this point, ckheart’s once-red eyes were now covered with a deepyer of gray, a sign that his soul had been purged by hellfire.


    Pū!


    As soon as Johnny released him, ckheart copsed to the ground. Lin Rui and Johnny’s n had been sessful, and ckheart, who had consumed so many evil souls, finally met his end under Ghost Rider’s Penance Gaze.


    Hoo~


    After ckheart fell, the mes on Johnny’s body quickly diminished and eventually disappeared entirely. He returned to his normal form as the sun rose in the sky. Johnny had been pushing the limits of his transformation and was now feeling the aftereffects.


    “We did it!” Johnny, now back to normal, looked at ckheart lying motionless on the ground and turned to Lin Rui, shouting excitedly.


    “Yes, we seeded!” Lin Rui replied with a smile, mirroring Johnny’s excitement.


    Da Da Da!


    At that moment, Bucky and Roxanne, who had previously been hiding outside the ruins, ran in. It was clear that they had been secretly observing the events inside and had returned now that ckheart was dead.


    Boom!


    Roxanne rushed over and threw herself into Johnny’s arms. In her heart, Johnny was a great savior and the most powerful hero. Johnny, who was embracing Roxanne, was also deeply emotional. He had not expected to be able to save her.


    Bucky walked slowly over to Lin Rui’s side, he had observed his actions during the confrontation with ckheart. Compared to Johnny, who ultimately used the Penance Gaze to defeat ckheart, Bucky felt that the young man next to him was even more powerful. Bucky also sensed that something must have happened while he was unconscious the previous night.


    “Let’s go.” After Johnny and Roxanne had their embrace, Lin Rui, who did not want to continue watching their disy of affection, nced at ckheart’s motionless form on the ground and said.


    Lin Rui then turned and was about to leave the ruins of San Venganza, with Bucky and Johnny following after him.


    However, just as Lin Rui and the others took a step, he and Johnny suddenly stopped and their eyes shed with different light.


    Bucky and Roxanne looked at them with puzzled expressions as Lin Rui and Johnny looked towards the exit of the ruins ahead. There, a gust of wind was blowing in their direction.


    Hoo~


    As the wind blew past, Bucky and the others saw a sh in front of their eyes, and an old man with a cane in his hands appeared out of thin air in front of them.


    “Congrattions, Johnny, you upheld your end of the bargain.” The old man looked at Johnny with a smile after appearing in front of them.


    “It’s you!” Johnny looked at the old man with cold eyes as he spoke.


    This old man was none other than Mephistopheles, who had made a contract with Johnny for him to be Ghost Rider. Now that Johnny had dealt with the rebellious ckheart, Mephistopheles had appeared to reim Ghost Rider’s powers. Mephistopheles was concerned that the same fate that befell the previous Ghost Rider would also befall Johnny which means that he would also betray him.


    “Now, I am here to retrieve the power that belongs to Ghost Rider. You have fulfilled your contract and it is time to get your soul back. Return to your own life and live with the one you love.” Mephistopheles spoke lightly as he looked at Johnny.
