Now that he thought about it, the direction where the Ghost Rider had gone seemed to be where the man possessed by Mammon was located. It seemed that Mammon had cooperated with Mephisto. Unfortunately for them, Zane was an unexpected variable, causing Mephisto's ambition to rule the mortal world to completely fall through.
However, there were still many things to plan in this plot. Zane remembered that in the end, even Satan himself appeared. Although it couldn't be his true form, Zane was currently lacking in methods to use faith power. When the time came, it wouldn't be bad to have a chat with him.
(AN:I unexpectedly found that the plot of "Constantine" fits well with the Marvel universe, so I wrote it out.)
The arrival of the Ghost Rider and Mephisto didn't delay Zane much, nor did it affect his and Lorna's vacation mood. After all, they were not ordinary people, and they had some psychological adjustment ability.
Just like veterans on the battlefield, who may face life and death one moment and then sit on enemy corpses, chatting and laughing with their comrades while munching on blood-soaked bread the next. Though the analogy may not be picturesque, the principle remains the same.
However, it was certain that they couldn't stay in this place. The road was filled with the smell of sulfur. Just now, Mephisto had summoned a group of low-level demons from hell. Although Zane had dispatched them with ease, the scent lingered even after their demise, making the air foul and unbearable to stay in for long.
Lorna drove with Zane to a mountaintop, then pressed a red button inside the car. In the next moment, this car, crafted by the hands of Skynet, transformed like a Transformer, undergoing a cool mechanical transformation into a small RV.
Inside, there was a bathroom, a bed, and a toilet, and the roof of the car was transparent, allowing Zane and Lorna to still enjoy the stars together.
"Remember what you said this morning?"
"You... pervert."
Upon hearing Zane's words, Lorna stopped looking at the stars and buried her head into Zane's chest like a startled ostrich.
"Wanna give it a try?" Zane asked tentatively.
"Mm... be gentle later."
"Sure thing!"
And so, accompanied by the glittering starlight, the RV rocked for the entire night until finally, after Lorna's repeated pleas for mercy, Zane ceased his conquest. Still in an excited state, Zane claimed that there was a different kind of thrill to be found in the wilderness.
Afterward, the two followed the route set by Lorna, traveling in a big circle around Mexico before returning to the United States. Along the way, Zane and Lorna nearly went crazy with excitement. When they finally returned home, they collapsed on the bed and didn't move for the entire day.
The main reason they were exhausted wasn't physical. With Zane's and Lorna's constitution, they could play another ten times without feeling tired. Their current state was due to the prolonged emission of passion, resulting in what could be described as a transition to a state of laziness where they didn't want to do anything and just wanted to lie in bed.
They even had takeout ordered by Skynet for their meals. Although the takeout was fancy, prepared by a Michelin-starred chef, it didn't taste as good as what Zane made himself. Nevertheless, the two of them, who had turned into lazybones, managed to get by with it.
As Zane lay on the sofa, contemplating whether to cook dinner, a shadow suddenly flew towards his face, catching him off guard. He was pounced on and had his face licked all over with slobber.
"Master, Master, Bastis missed you!"
Zane pulled Bastis off her face and looked her in the eyes seriously, saying:
"Bastis, remember that you're a panther, not a dog. You can't lick people like that."
With Bastis's return, the system's prompt sounded.
[Ding, congratulations, User, for completing the task]
[Task: Ensuring the survival of Tony Stark]
[Reward: one chance to draw a C-grade skill.]
[Would you like to draw?]
"Go ahead."
Zane said indifferently. He estimated that most C-grade skills were probably life-assistance skills, just like his own C-grade skill, [Master Chef], so it didn't matter what skill he got. After all, it wouldn't enhance his strength. However, Zane was soon to pay a heavy price for his indifferent attitude.
[Drawing...]
[Drawing complete. Congratulations, User, you have obtained the C-grade active skill [Eyebrow Dance].]
Upon hearing the name of this skill, Zane had a bad feeling, but he stubbornly opened the skill introduction.
[The C-grade active skill [Eyebrow Dance], from the world of 'Love Apartment,' as used by Zeng Xiaoxian, allows free control of eyebrow movements in rhythm with music for the purpose of humor and self-entertainment.]
The moment Zane finished reading the skill introduction, he said seriously to the system for the first time:
"System, can I return this?"
[I'm sorry, User, once the drawing opportunity is used, it cannot be recovered.]
"Then can you help me delete this skill?"
[I'm sorry, User, once the skill is drawn, it automatically detaches from the system and integrates with the Master. The system cannot delete it.]
"What a scam! You can give but not take away, is that it? Then what use are you to me?" Zane exclaimed angrily. With this skill, how could he even check his own attributes in the future? Just seeing this skill in his skill list filled him with an inexplicable sense of shame, didn't it?
"Sigh..."
Zane slumped on the sofa in silence. It seemed he had been careless, thinking he didn't need to care about C-grade skills. But he forgot his original intention.
Back then, every time he drew a skill, he treated it like a pilgrimage, bathing with incense, washing his hands countless times, holding a devout attitude like he was on a pilgrimage.
Now, this was retribution, absolute retribution.
