Chapter 317 Bring Me Back when I’m Moved

It was too much to open the coffin only to find that Howard Stark's body was not inside. Tang Lin didn't expect this to happen. Could it be that Howard Stark was cremated?

Not only Tang Lin was confused, but even Tony Stark was dumbfounded. He never expected that his father's body was missing. Such a shocking accident made Tony Stark's mentality explode. He quickly asked his mother next to him: "Mom, where is my dad?"

This question has a sense of deja vu, just like when Tang Lin was at home. Generally, Tang Lin would ask this question when Comrade Tang Zhanpeng didn't go home for dinner at night.

However, Maria didn't know what happened. Her memory stayed at the moment she was killed. Until she woke up now, she wanted to find her husband just like Tony Stark.

Tony Stark felt that his life had never experienced such ups and downs. Even if he was kidnapped and then became the well-known Iron Man, the ups and downs were not as exaggerated as today. I finally mustered up the courage to resurrect my parents. I don’t know how much struggle and soul torture I went through.

Such a result is absolutely unacceptable.

Nick Fury originally did not want to disturb this family reunion. He was sending his subordinates to retrieve all the information on the accidental death of Howard Stark. He must investigate what happened and what happened within S.H.I.E.L.D. What an accident.

When Tony Stark appeared in front of him with his mother looking unhappy, Nick Fury asked in shock: "Where's Howard? Didn't he come back to life?"

"You have the nerve to ask me, let me ask you, why is there not my father's body in the coffin?!" Tony Stark asked sharply.

"How is this possible?" Nick Fury was even more surprised than Tony Stark.

"You don't know? You don't know that my parents were murdered, and you don't know that my father's body is missing. Are you the director of SHIELD or the president? You don't know anything?!"

Tony Stark has lost his usual graceful demeanor, and he can't be talkative even if he wants to.

However, no matter how excited Tony Stark was, Nick Fury couldn't figure out what was going on. SHIELD's investigation report on Howard Stark's death can't be found. Whether it's an electronic document or a paper document, it's either a vague briefing, or it lacks really important information, such as the autopsy report. Not found.

After Maria calmed down and accepted the reality of her rebirth, she told everyone about the horrific murder.

"At that time, Howard Stark and I were supposed to be rushing to attend a meeting overnight, and then a man came up from behind on a motorcycle. He suddenly opened fire and scared Howard Stark to drive the car to the side of the road. . Then, I seemed to hit my forehead and lost consciousness."

After such a long time, Maria's memory is very vague, but from these words alone, it is certain that this was a murder. But there are only so many clues, and it’s not even clear how Howard Stark’s body disappeared.

Tang Lin ignored SHIELD's busy schedule. His time was up and he had to go home for dinner. Just when Tang Lin left the Marvel Universe, in the depths of a hellfire, Howard Stark, who everyone in SHIELD was looking for, was standing in the flames.

But this was not the corpse they were looking for. Although his hair was completely white, his body was full of flesh and blood, as if he had been alive until now.

"You summoned me back. Do you have any new orders? Don't you need to find your son, the Witch Heart Demon?" Howard Stark said to the flames in front of him.

The flames around him seemed to have spirituality, gathering into a huge human face, looking down at Howard Stark.

"My knight, I do have a new task for you. The soul of your wife Maria was taken away." The flaming face said in a deep voice.

"What? Mephisto, you promised me that as long as I work for you for a hundred years, you will resurrect me and Maria!" Howard Stark said angrily.

This is Mephisto, the Lord of Hell. He is a famous villain not only in the Marvel Universe but also in many parallel dimensions. He has been giving various equipment and benefits to various protagonists, and he is known as a model worker.

Howard Stark was assassinated. According to Marvel's original plot, he should have exited and then lived in the memory of Tony Stark. But because this world was greatly changed in ancient history by Tang Lin, when Howard Stark died, it attracted Mephisto's attention.

Mephisto gave part of his power to Howard Stark and resurrected him as his Ghost Rider. At the same time, he took away the soul of Howard Stark's wife Maria and used this soul to blackmail Howard Stark. Tucker works for him.

Otherwise, how would Howard Stark's character be able to work for the Lord of Hell?

Mephisto used his magical power to erase the memories and impressions of relevant people. Neither SHIELD nor Hydra discovered that Howard Stark was actually missing.

Over the past few decades, Howard Stark has been regarded as Mephisto's best thug, helping him kill many unsavory demons in hell.

Mephisto also figured out Howard Stark's character and asked him to kill humans to collect souls for himself. Even threatening with Maria's soul was useless, but asking him to help him deal with other demons, then It's still negotiable.

"This is exactly why I brought you back. No one should be able to snatch the soul from my hands. I can sense that your wife's soul was brought to New York. You must bring her back, and at the same time Kill the demon who dares to steal my soul." Mephisto said to Howard Stark.

"Another demon?" Howard Stark asked with a frown.

"In this world, only demons are the best at playing with souls. There is only one other demon who can steal my soul from me. Maybe you think it is a good thing that Maria's soul is out of my control, but in fact, in hell, I am the most rational and tolerant demon. So, if you don't take back Maria's soul as soon as possible, then I'm afraid your wife will be tortured." Mephisto said.

Howard Stark's face became very ugly. He had killed many demons, so he naturally knew the virtues of demons, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

"No problem, I will go and rescue Maria. However, this is your mistake, Mephisto. The contract between us should be changed." Howard Stark said.

His wife's soul is no longer in Mephisto's hands, and Howard Stark feels that it is time to negotiate terms with him again.

"No problem, the one-hundred-year period can be changed to fifty years. In more than twenty years, you and your wife will be free." Mephisto said very cheerfully.

Howard Stark didn't expect that Mephisto would be so easy to talk to. Is this still the sinister and cunning monarch of hell?

Howard Stark quickly thought of a question and asked: "Is your opponent this time stronger than you?"

Mephisto:...

Sometimes, smart people are not so easy to deal with, especially when they are tricked into committing suicide.

Howard Stark's guess was correct, Mephisto believed that his opponent was very difficult to deal with. Demons are good at controlling souls. I have never heard of anyone being able to steal back the souls collected by the Demon Lord quietly. Moreover, Mephisto vaguely sensed that the other party robbed Maria through the connection between her body and soul.

Maria has been dead for more than 20 years. Only bones are left in the body, and the connection with the soul can be said to be almost non-existent. Mephisto can sense the existence of the soul with such a corpse, but this is already the limit. If he wants to fight for the souls that fall into the hands of other demons through such a slight connection, Mephisto himself cannot do it.

To be able to do this, the understanding of the soul must be above one's own. What about the abilities elsewhere? Mephisto was not prepared to test his opponent's strength by himself. Wasn't he just recruiting his younger brother to be sent out as cannon fodder at this time?

Who would have thought that Howard Stark would discover the problem just by making a mistake? With this guy's shrewdness, he would definitely not die.

In desperation, Mephisto could only say to Howard Stark: "Of course the opponent this time is very powerful, otherwise it would be impossible to snatch your wife's soul from me. Therefore, I will not let him You go on an adventure alone."

As soon as the flames flashed, a young man wearing dark green clothes appeared next to Howard Stark. Howard Stark glanced at this young man and felt that this man did not look like a good person. His temperament was full of insidiousness and intrigue. If it weren't for his handsome appearance, others would probably want to hit someone when they saw him, or grab his legs and throw him wildly left and right.

"Loki, this time, you go with Howard Stark to take back Maria's soul and kill the ungrateful demon. If you succeed, I can let your brother Thor go free. If you fail, , the soul fire I branded on you will burn your soul to ashes! Don't even think about informing Odin, or my flames will kill you before you report the message." Mephisto threatened.

After hearing Mephisto's words, Howard Stark felt much better about Loki. He was also a poor man originally. The souls of his relatives were in the hands of Mephisto, and he had to serve this demon king. As the saying goes, if we are both from the same world, we must have known each other before. Howard Stark felt that he should get to know this young man who had the same problem and cooperate sincerely to complete this arduous task.

When Loki heard Mephisto's words, he shook his lower lip, and then said in a consultative tone: "Well, can you adjust the conditions a little bit?"

"What conditions do you want to change?" Mephisto said impatiently.

"Otherwise, if I successfully complete the task, let me go free. If I fail, you burn my brother Thor to death. I think this is more reasonable." Loki said very seriously.

Howard Stark:…

Bastard, give me back the emotion I just felt!
