The special effects were a bit weak, but you can't judge a character's strength by special effects alone. There are plenty of people who are invincible when they first appear, but die the next second.

Take Wang Chongyang for example. He secluded himself for five years and mastered the Innate Divine Skill, becoming the strongest martial artist in the world. But what good was that? He was still killed by a boot as soon as he came out of seclusion.

So, don't be fooled by Ghost Rider's Hellfire, arrogance, and the Eye of Judgment; it's all an illusion. Without a fight, how can you say Jason is inferior to him?

Russell admits that he's completely outclassed by Jason in terms of special effects and that the costumes are incredibly tacky. However, he does have one advantage that Ghost Rider can never surpass:...

Height and weight!

Jason's alter ego Hao Xun, is 1.96 meters tall and weighs an astonishing 450 pounds due to his Adamantium skeleton. Wolverine only 300 pounds because he is too short; he is only 1.6 meters tall, which saved a lot of money on Adamantium.

Ghost Rider is 1.88 meters tall and weighs 220 pounds.

After comprehensive analysis, the difference between the two is obvious. On the court, Jason could easily crush a vicious opponent!

Jason: (._.)

"Go ahead, what are you looking at me for?"

Russell nudged Jason on the shoulder, urging him to step forward and face his death. Through their contractual communication, he encouraged him. "Don't be afraid. I'm here to support you. There's nothing to be afraid of. He's so skinny he's just a skeleton. He definitely can't beat you. You can chop his head off and use it as a chamber pot with one stroke."

Jason: (._.)

"Of course I know you don't pee, can't I use it?"

Jason went in reluctantly, feeling a little panicked. He was a typical creature from hell, while Ghost Rider, despite his hideous appearance, was from heaven. Their attributes were completely incompatible, and if nothing unexpected happened, Jason would be beaten to a pulp.

"A dense aura of death, you wouldn't want him to deal with Ghost Rider, would you?" The Sorceress chuckled and snapped her the Snap to signal Ghost Rider to act.

"Waaaaaahh..."

Ghost Rider opened his skeletal maw, letting out a ferocious laugh, and swung his chains above his head. The wind fanned the flames, whipping up a crimson wave that filled the sky, its blaze terrifyingly powerful.

Jason, on the other hand, maintained his usual style of silence, drew his grooved Great Cleaver, and with a clang, it flashed with a 40cm-long, gleaming cold light.

Jason remained silent, which made Ghost Rider feel slighted, so he launched the first attack, swinging his chains at Jason.

Flames streaked through the air, and the scorching heat wave made Jason hesitant to take it head-on. As a creature of hell, he recognized it as the infamous Hellfire.

Jason raised his Great Cleaver to defend himself, Ghost Rider let out a grotesque laugh and manipulated the chains to wrap around the blade. Just as Jason was about to wrestle and pull his opponent over, he saw the blazing flames easily melt the Great Cleaver iron.

In the first round, Jason's signature Great Cleaver was destroyed, and the battle began to unfold in a one-sided manner, with the visual style also being one-sided.

Russell didn't care. Jason was an enhanced version of Wolverine; whether he had Great Cleaver or not didn't affect his fighting ability. On the other hand, Ghost Rider was definitely a weakened version, not only in terms of abilities, but he didn't even have a motorcycle. What kind of rider was he?

The Hellfire melted the Great Cleaver, Ghost Rider cackled, swinging his chains at Jason again, chasing after him and attacking. Jason feared the Hellfire, showing none of his usual indifference to life and death, which was understandable, after all, he was still a child.

A prolonged defense is bound to fail, especially since Jason didn't even have time to defend. After seven or eight moves, his torso was bound by chains and he was dragged in front of Ghost Rider.

"You are guilty..." Ghost Rider reached out and stabbed Jason in the chest. Hellfire erupted from the chains, devouring Jason's flesh and blood. He laughed wildly, "Sinner, go back to the hell you belong to!"

Flames soared into the sky, and Heat Wave rolled in. Jason was quickly burned into a metal skeleton. Ghost Rider retracted his chains, turned the skull eighty degrees, and stared at Russell with empty eyes, letting out a grotesque cackling laugh.

"Pathetic! Your pet is useless, now it's your turn." The Sorceress shook her head; the battle was utterly boring, and the Ghost Rider hadn't even warmed up.

Russell raised an eyebrow. Jason wasn't entirely useless; as long as his soul remained, he was immortal.

Flesh and blood grew rapidly on the metal skeleton, and Jason slowly stood up from the ground. Without the Hockey Mask, his face was revealed to be grotesquely deformed. This was probably one of his curses; no matter who he possessed, they would immediately become incredibly ugly, beyond even the help of the three great Asian sorceries.

The Sorceress chuckled at this, offering no warning to the Ghost Rider, and seemed rather eager to see what would happen next. She had complete faith in the knight she had created, and only hoped that the battle wouldn't be one-sided and too boring.

Clang!

Ghost Rider heard the noise and turned around to see a face so ugly it made his legs go weak. Then, three sharp claws pierced his skull through his jaw.

The flames on Ghost Rider's body were extinguished almost instantly, and the skeletal frame, now devoid of flames, emitted black smoke as it struggled desperately, suspended in mid-air.

He grabbed Jason's arm and ignited Hellfire, burning most of the arm down to the skeleton. Jason ignored him and used the steel claws on his other arm to pierce Jason's chest repeatedly, severing all his ribs.

In the end, Jason's arms Hellfire, leaving him unable to release Ghost Rider. After Ghost Rider was repaired, he kicked Jason away.

Perhaps because he failed to kill Jason earlier and instead took a few claws himself, Ghost Rider was furious, and the Hellfire burning on his body became even more intense.

"You are guilty..."

He strode over to Jason, grabbed Jason's head, stared into his eyes, and hissed, "Look into my eyes! Your soul has been tainted by the blood of the innocent. Feel their pain!"

The Eye of Judgment!

Ghost Rider's signature move is the ultimate form of his use of Hellfire, which he uses through Ghost Rider eyes to Hellfire the soul of his opponent.

The principle is that Ghost Rider looks directly into the eyes of the villain, making Ghost Rider see and make the target recall all the crimes he has committed in the past, so that his soul can feel all the pain he has caused to the innocent, thereby achieving the effect of judgment and punishment.

Those with heinous sins will be judged and executed on the spot, while those with lesser sins will have other effects, and the severity of their sins can be controlled by Ghost Rider!

The ability to directly communicate with the soul is undefendable; Ghost Rider rarely loses when using this move, and can basically achieve instant kill.

Of course, if one's soul resistance and magic resistance are strong enough, one can also ignore the Eye of Judgment, like Thanos.

The older version of Thanos was hit by the Eye of Judgment, reminisced about his glorious past, sighed deeply, and then slapped Ghost Rider so hard he questioned his existence. It can be said that he was completely unharmed by the Eye of Judgment.

Leaving aside other special cases, if we follow the comics exactly, the Punisher would be completely unharmed after being hit by Eye of Judgment. He shows no remorse for his actions, believing those people deserved to die, and that he himself was carrying out justice.

This is clearly a bug. The Eye of Judgment is independent of individual will; even the mentally ill cannot escape judgment, Jason is no exception...

It's not impossible, after all, he's a pure- Mind Stone good kid. Even if he kills people without hesitation, treats human life as worthless, and cuts people down without stopping, his heart is still as pure as a blank sheet of paper.

Yes, that's it!

The Eye of Judgment activated, Jason's struggling movements came to an abrupt halt. His eyes immediately carbonized and cracked, and flames spewed out from his mouth, nose, and ears, burning from the inside out. He quickly turned into a pile of immobile metal skeleton.

Russell was somewhat disappointed; Jason had fallen, unable to pull through like the Punisher. However, he had his reasons for daring Jason to challenge Ghost Rider: the Enslavement Contract still held a portion of Jason's soul, allowing the latter to continue resurrecting.

Russell snapped his the Snap, the Adamantium skeleton shook a few times, flesh grew and muscles spread, and Jason stood up once again.

Without a part of his soul, Jason would definitely suffer some aftereffects, such as amnesia, loss of language ability, and decreased logical thinking ability. But thinking about it carefully, it doesn't really matter whether Jason has these things or not; since Russell started spending time with him, he hasn't uttered a single word.

"Knight, seize him, I want this pet."

The Sorceress's eyes gleamed; she had taken an interest in Jason. His strength was so-so, but he was indestructible and could not be broken, making him no less than Ghost Rider. He also had Adamantium skeleton, making him a promising prospect.

Ghost Rider was startled by Jason's resurrection. He was certain he had destroyed Jason's soul, yet Jason was still alive and kicking.

Can one live without a soul?

Ghost Rider, unable to understand, obeyed the Sorceress's orders and once again swung his chains to launch an attack.

Without a motorcycle, Ghost Rider's mobility is poor; even Jason's Wolverine is faster. The two circled each other, chasing each other, before finally resorting to suicidal attacks. Flames filled the sky, Jason finally managed to redeem himself in terms of special effects. His resurrection was impressive; he could regenerate after burning tons of flesh.

Russell watched the two fight without moving, stalling for time. Supergirl's character card had long since expired. If they absolutely had to fight, he would have to use the Sorceress's Character Card, which he was a little reluctant to do. He planned to wait until Shen Menghan recovered, as having a tanky character would make it easier to snipe from the sidelines.

On the other side, Shen Menghan, no longer corrupted by evil energy, had stopped losing stamina; only negative buffs were affecting her performance. The mage Yong Fan was helping her dispel the curse. The girl was still poisoned and unable to cast spells, but there were many magical items in her Space Ring, so dispelling the curse was only a matter of time.

Shen Menghan stared at Russell's back. The latter was shrouded in a black robe, making it difficult to identify him from his physique. However, she felt that he looked strangely familiar and couldn't help but mutter to herself, "This person... I might know him."

As soon as she finished speaking, she was patted hard on the shoulder. Turning her head, she saw Duan Xinlan with an unfriendly expression, looking at her like she was a class enemy.

"What's wrong now?"

Duan Xinlan glared with dead fish eyes and said angrily, "Captain, I heard what you just said."

"What!?"

"I was here first!"

Shen Menghan was speechless and gave up on healing her teammate. "I knew you came first, I didn't say I was going to take it from you."

"Swear it!"

"Okay, okay, I'll send it..." Shen Menghan was about to brush it off when her intuition told her that something was amiss, so she changed her mind and said, "Why should I swear? I said I wouldn't steal it, so I won't. Believe it or not."

Duan Xinlan gave a forced smile and said disdainfully, "Heh, woman!"

Shen Menghan: "..."

The way you're saying that makes it sound like you're not a woman.

Shen Menghan didn't want to waste words with Duan Xinlan; she just wanted to recover quickly and rejoin the battle. She had just been kicked in the chin by the Sorceress, and she had to avenge that herself.
