Han Yu rolled down the window and asked Johnny, who was driving ahead, "So, you know about this too?"
"I know it all too well!" Johnny replied, a tone of admiration in his voice for some reason.
"Then tell us about it?" Han Yu chuckled, figuring from Johnny's tone that Hela hadn't been idle in Hell.
"In Hell, everyone knows that Mephisto is not to be trifled with, but there's another being who's just as untouchable: Hela, the so-called Goddess of Death," Johnny said.
"Oh, she's doing well, then," Han Yu quipped.
"More than well," Johnny shook his head, continuing to drive and addressing the car's occupants. "Her father is Odin, the Allfather. Her power still comes from Asgard. As long as Asgard endures, her power is endless. Even though she's not in Asgard now, her strength has probably only dropped to a third of what it once was, but that's still enough for her to be a force to be reckoned with in Hell."
At this point, Johnny's words took on a hint of amusement. "That old devil, Mephisto, has more than once tried to get involved with Hela, wanting to be with her."
This was rather unexpected. Han Yu said, "Mephisto has needs like that too?"
He didn't say it outright, but both Johnny and Loki understood what Han Yu meant. Only Galacta blinked her eyes in confusion. Given her knowledge level, she certainly should have known, but she just wasn't making the connection.
Somehow, Han Yu had already started the car with Johnny and Loki, while Galacta was still standing there, clueless.
Johnny chuckled a few times and said, "That's not it. He thinks that if he could... combine with Hela, their child would be the most powerful demon god. So, this guy has been pestering Hela."
Han Yu shook his head, smiling wryly, "As if Hela would agree. Isn't that just treating her like a baby-making machine? Besides, Hela is so weak now. Does he not dare to force the issue?"
"Ho, he wouldn't dare. He's the master of Hell, that's true, and Hela is an exile, also true, but Odin didn't kill her, which means Odin is still backing her. She's Odin's eldest daughter."
"Mephisto wouldn't dare go head-to-head with Odin. He's the only strong one in Hell. The other little imps can't even beat me. If he went to war with Odin, Mephisto could run, but Hell probably couldn't withstand the energy blast from Asgard's Bifrost. Mephisto would suffer the most losses."
Johnny mercilessly mocked Mephisto. They weren't in any subordinate relationship. Johnny's personality wouldn't allow him to be subservient anyway. Even if he couldn't win with his fists, he could still enjoy himself with his mouth.
Han Yu was amused. It was the first time he'd gossiped about gods of this level. It was much more exciting than the gossip between ordinary people.
After all, these were all big shots who could shake the Earth just by stomping their feet. Gossiping about them was incredibly interesting.
"What are you guys talking about? I'm understanding less and less the more I listen," Galacta pouted, sounding a bit unhappy. Being excluded like this wasn't a good feeling.
"Haha, sorry, sorry. Don't worry about it, kid," Han Yu said with a smile, gently patting Galacta's head.
"Yeah, yeah, kids shouldn't…"
Loki also wanted to take advantage of the age gap. He raised his hand to pat Galacta's head, but halfway through, her eyes suddenly turned sharp. She flipped him over with a hold, pressing Loki against the car window. Han Yu cheered, "Awesome!"
"She's taking care of my food and drinks, so it's fine if she calls me a kid. But what were you just trying to do?"
Galacta said, her words, though beautiful and sweet, sounded like a devil's whisper in Loki's ears.
"I was wrong, I was wrong! Sister, sister, I was just joking, no need for this!"
Loki could feel the grip on his arm tighten. Although he didn't think Galacta would actually hurt him, he knew she was more than capable of inflicting a minor injury.
Having been repeatedly rebuffed by Galacta, Loki now dared not provoke her. She was simply too ferocious.
"Hmph." Galacta released Loki, clapped her hands, and moved closer to Han Yu, clearly not wanting to be near Loki.
Loki rubbed his sore shoulder, watching Galacta happily chatting with Han Yu. For once, he envied Han Yu and thought to himself, He's so popular. When will I have such a beautiful and powerful woman surrounding me?
Afterward, Han Yu continued chatting with Johnny, mostly gossiping about Mephisto.
Johnny was also quite animated, revealing all the inside information he knew to Han Yu.
A seemingly mysterious and terrifying Hell demon had now become a gossip star with loads of tabloid news in Han Yu and Johnny's mouths. If the setting wasn't wrong, Han Yu would have liked to have some beer and peanuts to enjoy the conversation with Johnny.
They chatted for nearly half an hour, and the car slowed down. Before they reached their destination, Han Yu and the others saw a very large Western-style castle from afar, like a primordial beast crouching on the earth. Darkness and gloom were the main themes of the castle. Just from the outside, it was clear that this was not a place for ordinary people to live.
The car drove to the castle gates. Two gaunt men in black, their skin a fiery red, stood on either side of the entrance. Seeing the approaching vehicle, they both raised their hands to stop it.
One of the gatekeepers was surprised to see Johnny. He rasped in a hoarse voice, "Johnny, what are you doing here? You should be staying in the human realm."
"Someone wants to see Mephisto, I'm just a guide," Johnny shrugged.
"Hmm?"
The two gatekeepers looked back and were surprised to see a train car being pulled by the motorcycle.
"Who's on board?" asked the other gatekeeper.
"It's… Hey, what are your names, I don't even know!" Johnny suddenly realized he didn't know Han Yu's name.
"I'm Han Yu, and she's Galacta. You already know Loki," Han Yu's voice came from inside.
Hearing this, Johnny nodded to himself, then looked at the two gatekeepers and said, "You heard them. These are two gods that even I can't handle. They insist on seeing Mephisto. I can't stop them. If you think you can, then you go ahead."
The two gatekeepers had met Johnny a few times. Even they had to treat the man known as Ghost Rider, the one with the Spirit of Vengeance, with some respect; after all, Hellfire wasn't something just anyone possessed.
"You can go in," the gatekeeper said, opening the gate and letting them pass.
