The Ghost Rider spirit split in two separate parts, one vanishing into the sky above, while the other, accompanied by intense hellfire, surged into Sebastian's body.
As for Robbie Reyes, he had completely transformed back into his human form. Sebastian used his final remaining willpower to send him out of the building. The moment Robbie Reyes was sent out safely, Sebastian's body suddenly erupted with a terrifying wave of fire.
Raging hellfire erupted from Sebastian's body, transforming into a thick pillar of fire that shattered the ceiling and even the roof of the power plant, shooting straight into the sky. The sky was ablaze red, and the clouds quickly evaporated from the heat. Only a vast amount of flames continued to burn above, as if consuming the entire sky itself!
At this moment, Sebastian's consciousness entered a scorching space, filled with a vast number of scattered consciousnesses. Their intensity was so high that even a small fragment was several times greater than Sebastian's own consciousness. Fortunately, these fragments of consciousness were completely shattered, without their original owners, and only a few memories and obsessions remained. Otherwise, Sebastian would have been unable to deal with them.
These fragments of consciousness were extremely similar to each other, clearly originally belonging to a single individual. Why was such a powerful consciousness within Ghost Rider? Or, what connection did this consciousness have with Ghost Rider's birth?
Sebastian slowly wandered through this space, finally becoming certain he was trapped inside.
Gazing at this space, Sebastian's consciousness took a deep breath of the nonexistent air and finally made up his mind about what to do.
In this situation, Sebastian had only one choice: absorb these scattered fragments of consciousness and become the master of this space. Or, at the very least, he needed to completely control it, allowing his consciousness to escape, return to his body, and awaken. Otherwise, waking up before then would be impossible.
Sebastian's original plan, while consuming the power of authority, might cause it to spiral out of control, but Sebastian possessed the power of Hellfire. He only needed time to gather his power and then slowly return to control it properly.
However, he had never imagined that the Ghost Rider himself possessed these consciousness fragments, and that these fragments of consciousness were so closely connected to the power of Hellfire that they actually flowed into his body along with the power of Hellfire. This was truly a situation Sebastian had not anticipated at all.
This also made Sebastian realize that in the future, when faced with such situations, he still had to absorb supernatural powers, but he had to be more cautious and better prepared.
"Legilimency!"
Casting magic, Sebastian's consciousness instantly transformed into a vast stream of green light, infiltrating the smallest fragment of consciousness within this space of consciousness.
This fragment was significantly smaller than the others, but still only about half the size of Sebastian's own consciousness. Therefore, Sebastian's absorption and occupation were slow, and he could only begin to chip away at it bit by bit.
Meanwhile, as Sebastian struggled within his space of consciousness, tremendous changes occurred outside in the physical world.
Due to the rampage of the power of Hellfire, without the suppression and control of Sebastian's consciousness, a vast amount of Hellfire erupted from Sebastian's body, incinerating the sky and everything around him.
The power plant had long since been reduced to rubble by the terrifying flames, and the surrounding forests had been severely burned by the raging flames spreading outward.
With such a disaster on such a massive scale, coupled with Coulson's report, S.H.I.E.L.D. immediately contacted the Avengers and sent them to the site.
Tony used the Iron Legion team to begin extinguishing the fire and digging a containment zone in the nearby forests. The power of the machines was truly astonishing, fearless of fire and sacrifice, and they quickly successfully dug a containment zone and isolated the nearby residents for safety.
"Stark, what is going on with Sebastian?"
"I do not know. Even my suit cannot get too close to that kind of extreme heat."
At this moment, Coulson brought a relieved-looking Robbie to Fury and Tony and said directly to Robbie, "Robbie, please tell us everything that happened."
Robbie nodded, his Ghost Rider spirit having been extracted. Instead of feeling any loss, he looked relieved. He looked at Tony and Fury and said, "The Ghost Rider spirit inside me wanted to attack the Dark Wizard and seize the Darkhold from him. Later, they fought, but the Dark Wizard was superior and seized Ghost Rider's power.
But there seems to be something else inside Ghost Rider beyond just the spirit. I was nearing unconsciousness at the time, so I do not know much. I only know that Ghost Rider was completely separated into two parts. One part flew into the air and disappeared, while the other, along with Ghost Rider's power, poured into the Dark Wizard's body.
As for what happened next, I only remember the Dark Wizard sending me out, and then I became what I am now."
Tony nodded, patted Robbie on the shoulder gently, and said, "Thank you very much for the information."
"You are welcome. I should be the one thanking the dark wizard. If it were not for him, I would have been tortured by the demon Ghost Rider for who knows how long. Now I am finally free, and I am very happy."
"Okay, I will help convey your message to Sebastian when he wakes up."
"Thank you very much."
After thanking Tony, Robbie turned and left.
At this time, Tony looked at Fury and said seriously with rare seriousness showing on his face: "Fury, I know you have been wary of the Illuminati, and even Sebastian personally, but you also know that this time, it was Ghost Rider who took action first. Maybe Sebastian did something that led to the current situation, but he did not hurt an innocent person, and that is enough.
Put away your suspicion and accusations against Sebastian. He was a hero who once fought for humanity and the earth and almost died doing so. Your suspicions and accusations are unfounded."
"Stark, people change over time, and I cannot sit idly by and watch any possible threats develop!"
"Whatever you want to believe, at least do not hold me back on this matter, and please put away your suspicion, otherwise I will no longer be so polite to you.
In addition, after this incident, S.H.I.E.L.D. should hire a new consultant to replace me, otherwise even if I continue to stay in S.H.I.E.L.D., I am afraid you will not trust me anymore, right?"
Tony said no more. He looked at Vision and Pietro who had arrived and immediately stepped forward to meet them.
At this moment, Coulson looked at Fury and said, "Director, is it really necessary to go to this extent?"
Fury sighed and looked at Coulson with a complicated expression. "Coulson, it is not that I do not trust Tony and Sebastian, but someone has to take on this role of suspicion and caution. If not me, then someone else has to take on this role. It is a safeguard, a protection. Otherwise, if someone else were to take this position, I am afraid the situation would not be what it is now."
