Chapter 491: Zatanos

At the climax of this ancient war, the primordial vengeful spirits perished with Zatanos at their own expense. Zatanos was beaten back to a stone statue, and the primordial vengeful spirits fused the essence of themselves and Zatanos into a Medal of Strength at the time of their sacrifice.

The subsequent Blood Clan was worried that the power medal with the essence of both good and evil was too powerful and would cause unimaginable disasters if it fell into the hands of the villains, so they shattered the medal into four pieces, which were divided into two parts for the descendants of the two families to inherit, one was Johnny, the evil ghost rider family, and the other was the vengeful knight Mielke. Batilino's family.

The descendants of both families inherit the Power Medal to fulfill their duty of suppressing the Power Medal's energy, and the person responsible for overseeing and guiding the two families affected by the Power Medal is the Guardian.

Two thousand years after Zatanos was defeated, two thousand years ago, the chief priest of a shamanic tribe led his people to find Zatanos in a cave that had been beaten back to its original form by the primordial spirit of vengeance, and they used magic to awaken Zatanos.

The newly awakened Zatanos immediately proclaimed himself a god in the tribe, and the tribe formed a demon-worshipping cult, and with the help of the powerful Zatanos, the tribe built a city of 10,000 people, often expanding and plundering.

Since the essence of Zatanos had been sealed into the Strength Medal by the primordial spirit of vengeance long before that, Zatanos had to absorb the souls of humans regularly in order to slowly regain his strength in his heyday.

Thus, the tribe relied on the great power bestowed by Zatanos to conquer and enslave a large number of captives from other tribes through guò warfare, and to contribute their own people to give their souls to their god, Zatanos, to absorb and devour.

Zatanos' high-profile rampage on Earth has attracted the attention of Mephisto, another Hell Lord. Because Mephisto himself was a devil who sucked the souls of the humans on Earth as an energy supply, he saw Zatanos as a potential threat.

But even Mephisto, who was a surprise in the gods and demons of the universe, was unwilling to take the risk of confronting the powerful Zatanos. By chance, Mephisto found an opportunity to defeat Zatanos:

The wife of the young prince of this cult tribe, Santurios, was chosen by Zatanos, who demanded to devour his wife's soul. Dissatisfied with this, Santurios led his men to resist. But the wife was arrested for resisting to no avail.

The helpless Santurios could only pray to the gods to save his lover, and it was not the gods who answered his prayers but the devil Mephisto, who answered his prayer but asked Santurios to sign a contract with him on the condition that if Santurios sold his soul to him, he could help Santurios defeat Zatanos.

In order to save his lover Santurios, he has no choice. And this transaction, which sold his soul, turned Santurios into a soulless immortal who would not die of old age.

Just as Zatanos was about to devour the soul of Santurios' wife, Santurios suddenly appeared to openly oppose Zatanos's brutality. Seeing this, Zatanos tried to wipe out the soul of San Turios, but he couldn't.

Santurios explained that he had given his soul to Mephisto, so he was not afraid of the obliteration of Zatanos' soul. For a time, the other followers of Zatanos became suspicious of Zatanus and wondered if Zatanos would not be able to defeat Mephisto.

Mephisto defeated and enslaved Zatanos by trickery As his followers lost their support and belief in Zatanos, Zatanos's strength was greatly reduced and his psionic power was lost, so that Mephisto appeared and easily defeated Zatanos, and then Mephisto enslaved Zatanos's soul and cleansed his memory in hell.

In the years that followed, Mephisto transplanted Zatanos into different human beings in order to develop the essence of Zatanos for his own use.

In modern times, because of the arrangement and manipulation of Mephisto and Landkill behind the scenes, Zatanos is possessed by the protagonist Johnny. Blazer's body is combined to form Ghost Rider.

After signing a contract with Mephisto to become Ghost Rider, Johnny discovers that he has transformed into a burning skeleton. At first, he feared that this form would be his demonic side, but after a while he gradually began to realize that he was united with some kind of completely separate entity.

Combined with demonic energy, become the so-called "Ghost Rider". This qiē provided Mephisto with great entertainment. It wasn't until not long ago that Johnny knew that Mephisto had put the soul of Zatanos, the demon lord who had tried to dominate the world, into his own soul to control himself, so in the power of the Ghost Rider, neither the Spirit of Vengeance nor Zatanos was created by Mephisto himself.

The transformed Johnny is often disruptive because of the rampaging demon Zatanos in his soul, which influences the personality and behavior of his significant other. Only when he is truly one with Zatanos will he have the duty to avenge the innocent, and he will have an infinite desire to judge the wicked.

"Hatred will be washed away!" Without the slightest mercy or hesitation, Johnny let go of his soul and merged with Zatanos's consciousness, and the huge demonic power turned into countless gossamer-like hell flames, releasing a cruel calcination from his eyes to burn the souls of the innocents around Lucifer.

Lucifer was slightly stunned, he had never seen him use this trick when he was fighting Johnny. There are many ghost riders in history. But most of them inherited the power of the vengeful spirit created by God.

It was only now that he truly knew where the hidden power in Johnny's body came from. Unwillingly, he raised his head to the sky and roared. Lucifer's soul was simply consumed by hellfire: "Damn it, it's Zatanos, that demon!" ”

Realizing that the consciousness of the evil ghost rider now comes from Zatanos, Lucifer reluctantly gives up the idea of threatening Johnny by controlling the souls of innocent people. Johnny, or any proper Ghost Rider, might be hesitant to do so, but Zatanos alone doesn't have any emotional turmoil.

In essence, Zatanos and Lucifer are the same, they are both demons who despise life and play with the souls of others. A demon, even if brainwashed, will not have any pity for ordinary mortal souls.

Even as an alternative vengeful spirit, Zatanos simply followed the rules engraved in his soul. As long as he can avenge the innocent, then he can pay a price, including annihilating the souls of the innocent! (To be continued......)
