Inside the Hell Realm, Black mist poured out in waves!
"What is this?" The Hulk shouted, as the Black Mist touched her, she felt poison was affecting her.
And it was shocking for her, because gamma powers have made her body invincible to any type of harmless energy.
But for the first, she felt fatigue, and she realised poison was affecting her.
But, before the mist could fully condense into shape, Ben stepped forward, and for the first time he used his Anodite's power. The power, which was he born, but never awakened inside him, before his rebirth.
With the power flowing outside, he created a great sword!
"Boom!!!"
The sword struck the incompletely formed black mist, creating a violent shockwave.
"Sizzle!!!"
The black mist was scorched, rapidly dissipating with the anguished cries of souls echoing through the air.
"Buzz...!"
The secondary ripple effect from the great holy sword activated!
A visible wave of Anodite light surged outward!
The black mist was weakened even further!
"What power is this?" She-Hulk asked in a shocked tone. First she was surprised by the Black Mist. And then Ben's Anodite powers.
"Even I am afraid of it," Ben said, and swung the sword again.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"
With a series of powerful strikes, the black mist erupted into nothingness.
Ben managed to obliterate the black mist before it could fully manifest!
"Good, remove all the Black Mist," She-Hulk shouted looking at the Black Mist vanished.
"Ha ha ha, you are becoming happy by just removing this black mist. Then what about my immortal army?" Mephisto laughed, he was seated on the throne, which was made with the bone.
And besides him were the many Dragons, which were made of the complete bone. They are the Bone Dragons.
And then there was the massive wave of skull army from every side.
"So, these are your invincible army. Then let's see, till when they will be invincible," Ben shouted, and he jumped from his place, and using his Anodite's sword turned many skulls into ashes.
While going towards the Mephisto.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The sound was coming, as Ben was destroying many of the Skulls continuously.
She Hulk is also fighting with the hordes of skulls continuously.
But Blaze was not involved in this fighting, because he knew that Hell's army would never die. No matter what, till the Hell force was running.
And if the Hell force will be destroyed, then the Demon will escape from Hell, and will start creating chaos all over the Universe.
"Ben, fighting the skulls is useless, think about something else," Johnny shouted, so Ben could hear him.
"Yes, this creature is continuously coming towards us, it only makes us tired, and nothing else," She-Hulk also agreed with Johnny.
Ben looked around himself, although he was continuously killing the skull's army. But after one wave, another wave came. And till he erased the second wave. The previous skull army was again revived.
"So, how will we solve the situation here?" He asked, because this was Ben's first time fighting in Hell. So, he didn't know anything about it.
"Ben, Hell is divided into 9 advanced realms, 18 major realms, and 72 normal realms." Johnny started giving some knowledge of Hell to Ben.
"But this is just the fragments of the real Hell. And even in these fragments of Hell, if we want to defeat Mephisto."
"We need to cross the first 72 realms, then 18 realms, and in the last 9 realms. Then we will reach Mephisto. And this was just the first step in Hell, we are on the 72th Realm, which comes under the Ball."
"Ball, football or volleyball?" Ben asked, since he didn't know what the Ball was.
"Ben, Ball was a demon, he was the 72th commander of Hell. Although he was the weakest commander in the Hell Realm."
"But still he has power to destroy a city, and then his powers come from his hair, which can catch his enemies, and will start sucking their powers, energy, and life force. Till they will not turn into ashes."
"So, we need to fight all of the 72 commanders, then 18, then 9, then we will reach the Mephisto," Ben asked Johnny, while he was looking towards the Mephisto.
Because he didn't understand, since Mephisto was in front of him, his can was so difficult to reach towards him.
"Well, it was the most usual way, but today Mephisto has not gone into his realm. So, if by chance we caught him, and threatened him to withdraw his demons from Texas, it would be good, and we would also return back to Earth." Johnny explained his plan.
After hearing all this, Ben gained a little bit of information about Hell.
"Ok, then let's catch him," He shouted, and then using Anodite's power created some stairs for himself.
And by climbing on it, he crossed the hordes of skulls easily. While skulls were unable to catch him.
"Ball, go capture this new guy, and turn him into ashes," Mephisto said, while resting ons his throne.
"As your wish, master," The voice came, and then it shows, a demon walking from the backside of Mephisto.
He wears traditional clothes on the lower part. While he was naked on the upper parts. But no one can tell what he was. Since, his whole body, even his face covered inside the hairs.
"Puny human, you have given a feast to your death," Ball shouted and jumped towards Ben.
"So, you will stop me, but how?" Ben asked, looking at the hairy demon coming towards him.
"By draining your every life force," Ball shouted, and then his hairs grew so large, and they quickly caught Ben's hands and legs.
"Now, it's your end," Ball said, and just like always, he tried sucked life force from Ben's body.
But then, he became shocked, because he was unable to suck any little bit of energy from Ben.
"Interesting," Ben said, as he found, he was easily able to absorb energy from the Ball, through his hair.
And then he started absorbing it.
"What are you doing?" Ball shouted in fear, as he feels, his energy was decreasing from him.
"Same, as you wanted to do with me," Ben said, and then with massive speed, he started absorbing the energy of Ball.
Ball tried to retract his hairs, but Ben caught him, and before Ball shouted for a second time.
Ben absorbed all of his energy, turning him to ash.
This scene shocked everyone, even She-Hulk and Johnny didn't know what just happened.
"What did you do to the Ball?" Mephisto shouted in fear looking towards Ben. He feels the Ball was even erased from existence, and he was unable to revive him.
"Same, what do I want to do with you," Ben said, and before Mephisto tried to run away, he caught him.
And using his Anodite powers, he started to absorb Mephisto's energies. But soon, Ben realized he wasn't able to absorb this intensity of Hell's power in quick time, and not able to adjust it.
Moreover, if he is even able to take all of the Hell power. He needs to then stay here for his whole life to stop the demon from escaping from here. Which he does not want to do.
And not only this, but all of the skull army started running towards Ben. And even a few doors started opening.
"Johnny, I don't want to absorb his powers, and be tied to this Hell forever, think something?" Ben said, and he knew, while absorbing Mephisto's powers, he can't fight the other commanders of Hell.
"Ben, transfer Mephisto's powers inside me, I will take the responsibility," Johnny said, after thinking for some time.
"Ok," Ben said, and then he started transferring the dark energies he had absorbed from Mephisto towards Johnny.
While She-Hulk, seeing the situation, started fighting all of the demons, which were going towards Ben and Johnny.
"What are you doing, Johnny? You can't control it! Quickly stop it, or my commanders will kill you," Mephisto shouted in a furious voice, trying to threaten them. He found himself slightly losing control over the very forces he sought to command.
"I can control your power, Mephisto. You don't have to worry about that, and I will also control your commander," Johnny said looking towards Mephisto.
As the transfer continued, Johnny's skull underwent a transformation, and a crown-shaped structure began to take shape on the upper part of his head.
The manifestation of this newfound power was a hint of the fusion of Hell powers with the indomitable Spirit of Vengeance.
And with it the many other doors appeared there, while many other types of demons started appearing there.
As the transfer of power continued, Mephisto found himself stripped of the majority of his energies, he pleaded, "If I can't control Hell, all the demons will escape from this realm and wreak havoc in the living world. And the commanders were also coming there, they would kill you.
"No need to worry about them, I can control everything," Johnny Blaze said, undeterred by Mephisto's plea. Two horns sprouted from his skull.
Mephisto's desperate pleas echoed through the hellish realm, but they fell on deaf ears as Johnny Blaze. Reciting his famous line, Johnny uttered, "Look into my eyes and repent for your sins." And with this Mephisto was engulfed in the fiery punishment of Johnny Blaze.
As the infernal flames consumed Mephisto, the 71 commanders of Hell appeared there. But instead of any fighting, they kneel down in front of Johnny.
The demon minions, who had battled She-Hulk moments ago, now also knelt before Johnny Blaze. Their allegiance shifted as the new ruler took his place on the Throne once occupied by Mephisto.
Johnny sat quietly on the Throne, he looked towards Ben and She-Hulk, he thanked them while also promising them, "Thank you, Ben and She-Hulk, for assisting me in defeating Mephisto. From now on, I will hunt down any devil who dares to leave Hell."
"It's ok, we just want to return to the Earth," Ben said, She-Hulk also nodded with him.
"I know," Johnny said, with a gesture, he conjured a portal to the Earth Realm. "You can go to the Earth by crossing this portal."
Ben and She-Hulk nodded, and passed through the gate, returning towards the Earth.
After seeing Ben and Jennifer returned back to Earth, Johnny closed the portal, and then he started accepting all of the power of Hell. With also the responsibility of Hell, since he was the King Of Hell.
