• Li Feng warned Natasha and Coulson that Abomination had become a genuine combat avatar of Mephisto, and Kerrigan and Natasha headed toward the Old Church.
• Mephisto recognized Li Feng as a demigod and offered him a future gift, while Li Feng asked for one and Coulson tried to speak with Mephisto.

• Kerrigan cornered Coulson, but Li Feng appeared and burned her to ashes before wrapping Coulson in the Golden Fleece.

• Natasha told Li Feng she had found Johnny, who could not transform, and led Li Feng to help him.

Li Feng and Coulson reached the church, where Moru explained Mephisto’s plan to use Danny as a vessel at the Winter Solstice. Moru also revealed that Ancient One had driven God away, leaving Li Feng and Coulson with new questions about the threat and Li Feng’s ability to stop Mephisto.

• Moru revealed that Mephisto would use a Winter Solstice ritual to transfer his power and soul into Danny, destroying the child’s soul.
• Moru blamed Johnny and Nadia for the crisis and claimed Ancient One had beaten God away; Li Feng asked where God was and learned little about his whereabouts.
• Coulson asked whether Li Feng could send Mephisto back to Hell, and Li Feng said he could do so only if Mephisto was not a demigod.

Li Feng joined Moru and S.H.I.E.L.D. in preparing to stop Mephisto’s ritual, supplying a plan to use his holy-water beer against Demons. After investigating the church’s promise to Johnny, Li Feng brought the group to his motorhome, where Skye confessed that her uncontrolled vibration power had shattered Hope and killed Trip.

• Moru set aside his suspicions of Li Feng and agreed to work with Coulson to find Mephisto’s ritual before the Winter Solstice.
• Coulson and Melinda reminded Li Feng that his beer worked like Holy Water, and Li Feng promised to retrieve more once he recovered enough Mana to open a Portal.
• Li Feng secretly searched the church and concluded that it had not restored Johnny’s soul, but had extracted the Ghost Rider’s power and sealed its consciousness inside him.
• Li Feng opened a Portal to the lakeside and brought the group to his motorhome, where Coulson and Natasha noticed its advanced Xandarian technology.
• Skye told Li Feng that her vibration power had shattered Hope and that she blamed herself for Trip’s death, so Li Feng handed Natasha the Genie Lamp and Time-Turner and asked her to help save Trip.

Li Feng gave Natasha a Time-Turner so she and Skye could travel to the past and save Trip, while Strange relayed Ancient One’s warning that Trip must remain presumed dead. After arranging the mission, Li Feng kept Stark out of his motorhome and took him to the lake.

• Skye eagerly celebrated when Li Feng said he could bring Trip back, and Coulson suspected Li Feng wanted to ease her guilt.

He revealed Hydra as Natasha’s promised magical feast and introduced his other creatures, leaving her wondering what enormous beast was hidden in the final Genie Ball.

• Skye excitedly told Li Feng that the mission was complete, and Natasha explained that Hope had been declared dead so he could retire in secret.
• Coulson persuaded Li Feng to let Stark into the motorhome, and Li Feng left them to discuss their plans while he meditated.

• Li Feng released Hydra and explained that its regenerating heads made it suitable for Natasha’s spicy magical feast.
• Li Feng introduced Cyclops as part of his land force and said his remaining creature was too large for the lake, prompting Natasha to ask what kind of fish it was.

Li Feng introduced the Colchian Fire Bull, a mechanical creature with a soul, while Coulson struggled with the growing evidence that mythological beings were real. Stark wanted to study the bull, but Li Feng gave it to Skye as a toy, and Coulson urged everyone to focus on the demon problem.

• Li Feng told Coulson that Charybdis could chew through a Helicarrier, prompting Coulson to wonder whether Greek and Egyptian gods existed.
• Li Feng said a Magic Book had taught him to make mummies and could be used to contact Anubis, leaving Coulson dreading his mission report.

• Coulson pointed to the waiting Quinjets and told everyone to deal with the demon problem first.

Li Feng secured a fragment of Skye’s soul inside the Colchian Fire Bull so she could contract with it, then joined Coulson’s mission to rescue Danny from Mephisto. The group reached Mephisto, who welcomed Li Feng and Stark with an offer to talk instead of fight.

• Li Feng examined Skye’s soul, removed a small fragment, and placed it inside the Colchian Fire Bull, leaving her weak while he expected her soul to heal.
• Li Feng secretly stored Skye’s soul fragment and lamented that the Transdimensional Portal could not carry ordinary souls to the Otherworld for cultivation.

• Li Feng opened a Portal for the Quinjet, and he and Stark left the aircraft after detecting Mephisto and a powerful Hell dog waiting on the ground.
• Mephisto welcomed Li Feng as Earth’s demigod, had his underlings arrange food and drinks, and invited him to sit and talk.

Li Feng and Mephisto avoided fighting by sharing a drink while S.H.I.E.L.D. prepared to rescue Danny. Coulson arrived to propose a deal, leaving Mephisto describing Hell’s harsh conditions and his preference for negotiation.

• Li Feng warned Mephisto that he had more than one backup plan and revealed Medusa’s head, which Mephisto recognized as the cause of the petrified Demons near the church.

• Coulson said he wanted to make a deal with Mephisto.

Natasha infiltrated the castle to rescue Danny while Johnny drew the guards’ attention, but Johnny was captured and brought before Hulk. Danny realized his power could restore Johnny’s contract, and as Hellfire engulfed Johnny, Natasha photographed Ghost Rider’s return.

• Natasha and Johnny approached the castle, where Natasha slipped inside while Johnny went to draw fire at the entrance.
• Natasha found Danny guarded by Hulk, soldiers, and hidden Demons, and secretly coordinated with Stark as Johnny began his attack.

• Danny unleashed Hellfire around Johnny, and Natasha photographed as Ghost Rider returned.

Li Feng tried to stop S.H.I.E.L.D. from helping Mephisto create avatars, warning Coulson that their visits could produce half-human, half-Demon children. When Mephisto’s combat avatar attacked, Li Feng fought it publicly to demonstrate his power, but the battle ended with the avatar missing from the crater.

• Li Feng blasted the avatar with two Nuclear Reaction Fireballs, then emerged from the explosion ready to attack, but the crater was empty.

Li Feng returned from his battle with Mephisto exhausted and discussed the danger Danny faced as a half-human, half-Demon. He then collected Angel Fire from Johnny and proposed transferring some of Ghost Rider’s consciousness to someone else to reduce the strain on him.

• The Quinjet crew surveyed the devastated crater, and Stark tried to open a Portal before Jarvis warned him that heat and magnetic disturbances would destabilize it.

• Li Feng joked with Johnny about his Dark Energy corrosion and gave him the Seraphim Feather to help resist it.
• Johnny agreed to let Li Feng collect some Angel Fire after Li Feng promised to stop if he felt unwell.
• Li Feng explained that Angel Fire could counter Dark Energy and suggested transferring some of Ghost Rider’s excess consciousness to another person.

Johnny accepted Li Feng's instructions for separating Ghost Rider's consciousness after S.H.I.E.L.D. backed down. Strange arranged for Kamar-Taj to take Danny in and offered Li Feng a single chance to study the Time Stone; Li Feng left to prepare for his visit.

• Johnny warned that without separating Ghost Rider's consciousness, he would eventually disappear and Ghost Rider would take over his body, so Coulson let him learn the soul-splitting method from Li Feng's Magic Book.
• Li Feng offered Danny a tracking-concealing Amulet, but Danny sensed Li Feng meant him no good and refused it.
• Strange arrived through a Portal and said Kamar-Taj would take Danny in to teach him to use Dark Energy, with Mordo as his teacher and Strange as his psychologist.

• Li Feng returned home to pack before heading to Kamar-Taj, while Kreacher stayed behind to train Skye and watch over her soul fragments.

Li Feng traveled to the world of Hellboy and watched Prince Nuada challenge his father over humanity’s treatment of their people. After deciding to follow Nuada to the Golden Army rather than steal its control pieces, Li Feng turned toward Nuada’s departing sister.

• Li Feng borrowed the Eye of Agamotto from Strange and traveled through a portal to an abandoned station.

• Nuada’s father ordered the guards to kill him, while Li Feng decided to follow Nuada to the Golden Army and take control after it was activated.
• Li Feng watched Nuada’s sister leave and turned to follow her.

Nuada killed Balor and searched for the final Crown Shard, while Li Feng helped Nuala escape to the Troll Market and set up a stall. Hellboy crashed into Li Feng’s tent, and Li Feng confronted him over the damage.

• Balor had created the Golden Army to defeat humanity, then split the crown and ended the war, prompting Nuada to leave in protest.
• Nuada killed Balor to reclaim his Crown Shard, but learned that Nuala had the last shard and ordered his followers to find her.
• Li Feng disguised himself as a Mage named Austin, secretly placed a tracking spell on Nuala, and escorted her to the Troll Market.

• Hellboy crashed through Li Feng’s tent while pursuing Nuada’s clues, then tried to leave without paying for the damage.
• Li Feng stopped Hellboy, turned Wink to stone, and reminded Hellboy of his royal ancestry when he claimed to have no money.

Nuala found the map to the Golden Army in the Troll Market, where Li Feng helped defeat Wink and revealed powerful time magic. After Li Feng reversed the Jumping Bean’s transformation and took it as compensation, Nuada feared what the human mage could do to his plans.

• Nuala disguised herself, found the map, and met Abel, but Wink attacked before she could leave with him.

• Li Feng used the Time Stone to reverse the Tree God’s transformation, then claimed the Jumping Bean as compensation from Nuada.
• Nuada watched Li Feng leave and demanded to know who he was.

Li Feng left the Troll Market after offering the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense a strength-enhancing item and demanding compensation, while Klaus planned to use the payment as a way to approach him. At headquarters, Nuala studied the map to the Golden Army, grew closer to Abel, and then rushed to destroy the map when she sensed Nuada nearby.

• Nuada left after Li Feng mocked his offer of compensation, while Klaus asked whether Li Feng was a pure-blooded human and considered recruiting him.
• Li Feng gave Klaus a strength-enhancing item to test, demanded magical materials as payment for future goods, refused to join the Bureau, and threatened to tear down its headquarters if it withheld his compensation.
• Abel tested the item and reported that it increased strength by ten percent but caused muscle soreness, and Klaus ordered the trade and compensation requests reported.
• Nuala opened the cylinder holding the Golden Army map, found no coordinates, and told Abel that Nuada could sense what she knew because they were twins.
• Abel and Nuala shared a shy exchange of affection, and Nuala left him wishing him good night.
• Nuada arrived near the Bureau carrying the Mind Crown Fragment and the map, and Nuala hurried to destroy the map.
