Chapter 141: The Devil's Explanation
Stopping the impending conflict between Alex and Zatanos, the demon named "Nightmare" turned his head to look at Alex with a clear meaning in his eyes.
Alex understood, stretched out his hand and stroked, and the ripples stirring in the void behind him immediately disappeared without a trace.
Shrugging his shoulders, he smiled lightly: "Anyway, it's not too late to listen to what you guys have said and then fight!" ”
"Human, you're confident!" Nightmare glanced at Alex meaningfully, ignoring the human youth and his spirit body who were blocked by Alex, and said to himself: "First of all, let me introduce myself, I am the lord demon of this dimension, the king of nightmares, this is Zatanos, a demon of my race, human, what about you?" ”
"Alex!"
Alex did not shy away from it, and after reporting his name to the two demons without concealment, he turned his head to look at the young man behind him, "What about you, what's your name?" ”
"Johnny, Johnny Brace." The young man got up from the ground and glanced at Alex gratefully.
Alex nodded, looked at the two demons in front of him, and said bluntly, "What are you going to say about the nightmare?" Let's get it straight. ”
Nightmare didn't care about Alex's rude behavior of calling him by his first name, "I'm going to tell you something important about the lives of the humans and Zatanos behind you, don't you want to save your fellow Ghost Rider from hellish life?" Or don't you want their souls to be separated forever? ”
"Ghost Rider?"
Alex frowned, and then reacted, the so-called Evil Ghost Rider must refer to the guy who was thrown into space by himself, but he didn't know the origin of the Evil Ghost Rider, and he didn't have a clue at all about the nightmare's "saving his compatriots and separating his soul from Zatanos forever".
Then he said, "I think you should tell me the origin of the Evil Spirit Rider first, and then say anything else." ”
"You don't know the origin of Ghost Rider?" Nightmare was slightly stunned, and looked at Alex for a long time with a frown, "You're not a member of the Blood Clan?" ”
"What blood clan?" Hearing the new term in Nightmare's mouth, Alex's brows furrowed even deeper, and Ghost Rider seemed to be involved in something!
"Humans other than the Blood Clan can actually achieve this kind of process, you have aroused my curiosity."
With a grin, the nightmare immediately diverted from the topic and explained to Alex and the young man behind him in a kind way, while the other demon stared at Alex and the young spirit behind him with unkind eyes.
Murderous and ferocious!
Alex didn't take his eye attack seriously at all, listening carefully to the nightmare's explanation.
According to the nightmare, about 20,000 years ago, the lord demon Zatanos had a friction with the blood clan, a superhuman race at that time, and the two set off an endless war, resulting in an extremely fierce battle to the death, and there were few survivors left in the blood clan, and Zatanos was directly sealed into a stone state.
After a long period of time, the humans found the sealed Zatanos and rescued him, and the unsealed Zatanos was worshiped as the totem of the human tribe, and Zatanos also stayed in the tribe to protect the human race. With its protection, the tribe's strength and scope grew larger and larger, and finally provoked the prying eyes of a powerful demon, Mephistopheles.
The demon used trickery to defeat Zatanos and enslaved him in hell, erasing its memories, and in order to take revenge on his former enemies, Mephistopheles attached Zatanos's soul to the descendants of the Blood Clan, and through a special curse, Zatanos's soul was attached to the firstborn sons of the descendants, turning them into ghost knights.
The curse has been passed down from generation to generation, and every human who inherits the curse will be lonely for a lifetime under Mephistopheles' arrangement: their wives, children, relatives and friends will be implicated by the curse and suffer all kinds of misfortunes.
Moreover, after becoming Ghost Riders, they will have to face the troubles of their inner demons every day, and their spirits will be tortured to the point of collapse. Property, career, family, etc., the life of a normal person will be washed away, and it can be said that every Ghost Rider is a tragic character who is arranged to suffer a cycle of suffering without a good reward, and this is the fate that Mephistopheles wrote for them.
As the source of the power of the Evil Ghost Knight, Zatanos can only be attached to humans again and again, without any memory of his own life, and he has lost the glory of being a demon and lives a chaotic life.
In order to save his friend, Nightmare has been looking for Zatanos since he was enslaved by Mephistopheles, and after a long search, he finally found the trace of Zatanos possessed by a human body. However, at that time, Zatannos's every move was watched by Mephistopheles, and the nightmare of lack of strength had to wait for an opportunity.
waited until the scene where Ghost Rider was thrown into space by Alex.
Taking advantage of Mephistopheles' loss of Ghost Rider's tracks, it rescued Ghost Rider, separating Johnny and Zatanos' souls and restoring Zatanos's memories.
Speaking of this, Nightmare changed his expression of admiration and looked at Alex, "The only thing I didn't expect is that you, as a human being, actually have the ability to enter my dream dimension. ”
For the praise of the nightmare, Alex doesn't have much cold, what he really cares about is how much of the words that come out of the nightmare's mouth are true and how much is false, if the words of the demon can be fully believed, unless the zero-level rookie in the novice village can turn over the old bird with full blood and full god at once! By the way, have you ever seen such an unscientific thing happen?
After listening to the explanation of the nightmare, Alex thought for a moment, then had an idea in his heart, and then asked: "You just said that you will separate their souls forever, that is, you can't separate them forever with your ability, and you can't lift the curse that Mephistopheles put on the Johnny family, right?" ”
"Of course!" Zatanos interjected, "Although that Mephistopheles guy is on par with us lord demons in terms of personality, his strength is much more powerful than when I was victorious, not to mention the nightmare that was weaker than when I was in my heyday. And if the curse it placed on it was so easy to lift, the nightmare wouldn't have waited so long to kick in. ”
Hearing Zatanos say that he was not as good as it was in its heyday, Nightmare couldn't help but have a chill in his eyes, but this coldness was well hidden and was not discovered by others.
It said solemnly, "Mephistopheles itself is very powerful, and very good at using despicable means, unless it is too much stronger than it, it will not be able to escape its control." If it weren't for the fact that this dimension of dreams obscured its perception of Zatanos's magical prohibitions, he would have rushed in to trouble us. ”
"In other words, if we don't get rid of the curse here, we'll be hunted down by the mighty Mephistopheles once we leave here, right?" Alex asked suddenly with a smile.
"That's right, as long as you get out of here, Mephistopheles will be able to find you, and then not only Johnny and Zatanos will continue to suffer, but also me and you will be implicated." Nightmare looked at Alex's eyes with a hint of ruthlessness and smugness, "How is it?" Do you want to work with us to get rid of the curse and deal with Mephistopheles' pursuit? ”
"Of course, of course, you have to get rid of the curse!"
In the face of the nightmare and Zatanos's gaze, Alex gently tugged at the corners of his mouth, and the next moment, a powerful attack suddenly exploded......
