| Centurious has won! Johnny's soul is sealed in the Soul Crystal! But Zarathos can now escape. Has Centurious made a fatal mistake? No! He is much more powerful than Zarathos, who is forced to admit he... needs Johnny Blaze! Certain he has won, Centurious plans to expand the Sin-Eater's ministry to the world: a limitless source of souls for the Crystal! But with a moment of supreme effort, Zarathos... shears the Soul Crystal in half! The souls imprisoned escape, but Centurious is not so lucky; he is drawn inside! When the gem repairs itself, Ghost Rider is enraged; he has been denied vengeance! Ethan Domblue still has a portion of the power Centurious granted him. With it, he permits Zarathos to enter the Soul Crystal, there to seek out Centurious. Johnny's love for Roxanne allows Domblue to succeed, splitting Blaze and Zarathos. As Johnny and Roxanne leave arm in arm, a crevasse swallows the Soukl Crystal and its two battling monsters... |
