Chapter 418: Origin of Evil Spirits
Ghost Rider?
Richard was stunned.
If you have heard of it, I'm afraid that any passerby who knows a little about Marvel has certainly heard of it. After all, this skull on fire with a shiny black jacket and riding a motorcycle with a burning hellfire is really stylish, and it's hard not to be famous.
So Heaven and Hell are going to war, and it has a dime to do with Ghost Rider? Could it be that it was to rob the St. Van Gonza Covenant?
Richard thinks he has a relatively comprehensive understanding of Marvel, but when it comes to heaven and hell, it is really a weak point. It's really that the Marvel worldview system is too complex and huge, and it is almost impossible for a person to do everything.
Most of his knowledge of Ghost Rider also comes from movies. The film mentions the Pact of St. Van Gonza, which contains a thousand fallen souls, and it is said that the resentment in it is all degenerated from the purest and most good souls, and has a dark power that is deeper and more terrifying than ordinary souls. Therefore, the second generation of demons felt that as long as he got this contract and devoured the power in it, he would be able to kill his father and set up his own portal.
However, this demon second-generation brain is obviously not very good. No matter how pure this soul is, it is only a thousand unjust souls, and his father Mephisto, as a hell lord and heavenly father-level devil, has more than 10 million souls in his hands? If he Lao Mo could be overthrown so easily, then others would have taken the lead a long time ago, and the throne of the Lord of Hell would not have been robbed by him, the second generation of demons.
Gabriel looked surprised when he asked the question, "Oh? Do you know anything about the covenant of St. Van Gonza? β
She was indeed surprised. As the archangel, she can see through almost all mortals in the world, but the person in front of her is completely unclear and incomprehensible.
But the archangel immediately shook his head: "That is indeed a more serious issue, but that matter has been properly handled by the host of the current Evil Spirit Rider, and this matter is not enough to put Heaven and Hell into a state of combat readiness." And what I'm going to talk about next happens to be related to the Ghost Rider mentioned here...... Have you heard about the origin of knights? β
"The vengeful spirit of God's creation?" Richard replied casually.
The archangel's eyes flickered for a moment.
For Richard, this is an origin that anyone who knows even a little about Marvel has heard of, but it's not the same in the Marvel world. The origin of the Ghost Knight has long been lost in history, and even the Ghost Knight himself does not know where this power comes from, let alone anyone else.
This is not something you can find in myths and legends, and even secrets like vengeful spirits are known, which makes Richard even more mysterious in Gabriel's eyes. In her eyes, this existence has become something similar to the "light of the ancients", which may be a cosmic god who existed since ancient times, and stayed on the earth for some reason.
Otherwise, she felt as if she couldn't explain why Richard knew so much.
Gabriel nodded: "Yes, that's true, the knight was originally a vengeful spirit sent by Heaven to punish sin, but that was a long time ago.
About 20,000 years ago, a demon with immense power harmed the world and sucked countless innocent souls. It is the Elemental Demon, known as 'Zatanos'.
As God's agent on earth, the primordial spirit of vengeance gathered all its power to defeat this demon. They succeeded, but they also paid the highest price. All the vengeful spirits were sacrificed, but Zatanos was also beaten back to a stone statue by them. But the most essential part of the elemental demon's body overflowed, and the vengeful spirits sealed it with the last of their own strength before dying.
The two forces counterbalance each other, but at the same time combine with each other, becoming inseparable over the course of 10,000 years until they become oneβa powerful force that should not exist in the world, both good and evil. β
This is the first time Richard has heard this story, but he has begun to understand Gabriel's main points.
"This is Ghost Rider, isn't it?" He asked, "The source of the power of this Ghost Rider is the fusion of the purest magic of that elemental demon and the power of the primordial vengeful spirit?" β
Gabriel nodded, "Not bad." β
It turns out that Ghost Rider's force is so high?
Richard was starting to look at the skull head. Normal, Ghost Rider looks like that's just that, his strength is average, his speed is average, Hellfire seems to be able to "burn everything", but his actual record is generally only to burn the nameless dragon set, and it's useless to meet an opponent with a head and a face, and its embarrassment is second only to Amaterasu in the Hokage next door......
He always thought that the Evil Ghost Rider was quite average except for the finalistic ultimate of "Eye of Judgment", but he didn't expect it to be a boss template, or the kind that is not low-level.
"After the great war in ancient times, this fusion power has gone through several twists and turns, and now its control has fallen into the hands of the devil Mephisto."
Gabriel paused deliberately as he spoke, and his expression became solemn.
"And that's the problem." "There is evidence that two thousand years ago, a human shaman found the sealed stone statue and released the original figure of Zatanos, but Mephisto, the lord of hell at the time, defeated and took the fragments of the elemental demon.
Now there is reason to believe that Mephisto found a way to re-summon Zatanos through that experience. He can use the current Ghost Rider as a medium, using the body of the Ghost Rider host as a sacrifice to invoke the elemental demons in their heyday. β
Richard was stunned: "Didn't you just say that this elemental demon was killed by Mephisto?" What reason does Lao Mo have to summon him back again? β
"There are no eternal enemies between the devils, as long as their interests are aligned, they can always make a pact." Gabriel said worriedly, "That's why we're ready to go to war." Mephisto is already too powerful in his own right, and if he has the support of Zatanos in his heyday, it will be a disaster for both earth and heaven, and we will have to stop it with all our might. β
"I see." Richard nodded in understanding: "Okay, then I'll call Nick Fury when I go back and ask them to get ready." β
Gabriel shook his head: "I'm afraid that ordinary humans can do very little in this war. β
Richard nodded knowingly: "Okay, then I'll go back and contact Stark and ask him to inform the Avengers." β
Gabriel continued to shake his head: "They are indeed outstanding among humans, but this time it may not be of much help. β
The archangel couldn't help but frown.
Is this guy playing dumb or really stupid? How could she have wasted so much spitting stars and precious time here as a commentator, in order to pull the support of the human side?
To tell the truth, neither heaven nor hell looks down on mortals on earth, and even the avengers of the human world are just children with some talent in their eyes, and they are not qualified to get involved in the affairs between adults.
She patiently talked about it until now, and explained the dangers of hell and the stakes in it, so that Ultraman could join the Heaven camp as an uncertain factor. What does it matter to them which side humans are on?
Richard spread his hands: "Then I'm afraid there's nothing we can do." You see, although I am a decent mix in the human world, dealing with devils and demons is really not my specialty. I don't know anything about magic or anything, I don't even have a weapon that can hurt the devil, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help much......"
Gabriel understood.
So after a long time, it turns out that this person is asking for benefits?
Richard snorted inwardly.
Elemental Demon Resurgence? Sounds serious.
But who will do the things that are not beneficial? You don't even give you any actual compensation, and you still want me to help you cut monsters in heaven? Oh, it's beautiful, but you want to be even more beautiful!
