Chapter 1701 The two kings are opposite each other
Yet Degil is ready to go. In fact, he has been preparing for his actions today since several months ago.
In his initial expectations, his current movements should be carried out under the strife between humans and evil spirits. Only in this case can he be suitable for those actions of fishing in troubled waters, and fortunately, no one knows about it to benefit himself.
However, the development of things was beyond his expectations from the beginning. Victor would rather throw away most of his territory in hell than easily mobilize his elite troops from the world. This also makes it easy for him to be exposed to humans and become the real target of public criticism once he starts to move as planned.
He didn't want to do this, but now it seems that he has to do this. This makes him very uncomfortable. Since he feels very uncomfortable, finding a way to vent will become his inevitable choice this time.
Therefore, he originally had a task that a subordinate could solve, and he didn't know what was wrong with it, so he chose to take action himself.
Of course, in general, as the boss, he is not a big deal to take action in such matters. He is not the kind of king, prince, general, and minister who is powerless and wants to go to the front line to roam. If it is really an analogy, it should be like a tank stuffed into the cold weapon war. Gundam who drove into the modern war is unstoppable and unstoppable. No big problem can occur.
This is a general situation, and of course there are extraordinary situations. In the case of not ordinary situations, there is often a big man driving Gundam into the field opposite.
However, Degil never expected that in this case, he would encounter a team of Ghost Knights led by Peter. This was not the situation he wanted to see.
You know, he originally wanted to take down this group of Ghost Knights through blitz. From the most real thoughts deep in his heart, he never had the idea of meeting Peter now.
As a guy who likes to plan and then move, he still can't figure out how profound Peter is. Although he knows that Peter is the leader of the Ghost Rider and the most powerful of them, he does not have a complete concept of how powerful he is.
Although he had already speculated that Peter's power might have a certain connection with him or Zatanos. But to be honest, he did not have enough concept of how this connection was to a certain extent.
As an old guy who has existed since ancient times and is a deep participant in it. He knows very well what kind of tricks Mephisto did in Zatanos at the time.
Let’s not talk about the tricks of splitting the soul and the essence of power. Just looking at the traps he put on both sides, you can tell how he is so scheming and doing every step.
On the soul of Zatanos, he set up a powerful magical prohibition, which made this powerful hell lord almost completely lose his mind and could only struggle in a mad situation. As Zatanos' host, all the knights who were sojourned by him could only compete and compete with his madness in the depths of his soul.
It is almost impossible for ordinary humans to do such a job, and this means that once they become a ghost knight, they can only be crazy, like the most primitive beast.
By the same token, there is the same problem with the knight who is responsible for Zatanos's power. The knight who uses the soul of an ordinary person, as the spirit of revenge, is naturally far from comparable to other evil spirit knights who use angels as the spirit of revenge in terms of operation. This is equivalent to weakening his power in disguise, making him only mediocre at the level of an ordinary knight.
It can be said that if Randgir had not given up on his status as an archangel, even he would have been difficult for him to control this power belonging to Zatanos. Just looking at this point, you can actually see what preparations Mephisto made to control everything about Zatanos.
As a leader who can lead all the Ghost Riders, Peter is certainly out of the state of being deeply trapped in the crazy soul of Zatanos. This is crucial, which means he has been out of the initial stages of Zatanos' soul power.
But to say how high he can reach is a question worth discussing.
There is no doubt that it is the most powerful state to fully control Zatanos' soul. But it is not certain whether ordinary people can achieve such a level.
After all, Zatanos was the great lord who was able to compete with Mephisto for control of the evil spirit hell. Mephisto spent ten thousand years unable to completely erase his soul. It was impossible and even incredible to rely on the power of a human being, even if this human being is a superhero among them.
However, Degil does not believe that humans have such ability. Even if he has overestimated the potential of human beings, he still does not think that there will be a high possibility that such a situation will occur.
In his vision, Peter's situation should float between the other two possibilities.
First, he soothes the soul of Zatanos by some special method. Then he uses this special situation to secretly use Zatanos' power like a thief.
Second, he reached some agreement with Zatanos. Then, with Zatanos' permission, he was able to borrow the power he had.
If it were the former, then things would be easier for Randgir. Because if he was just a thief, then he would definitely not dare to make too many moves to alarm Zatanos' sleep. In this case, even if he was stronger than ordinary Ghost Riders, his power would be limited. At least, it would not be his opponent.
But if the situation is the latter, then the problem will be much more difficult.
As the most powerful lord of hell, Zatanos can compete with almost any hell master. Therefore, even if Peter Parker just borrows his power with his consent, instead of getting all of him, this power will be very terrifying.
If this is the case, then things will be bad. Because he was completely unsure of being able to defeat Peter Parker in this state.
Although he also possesses the essence of Zatanos's power, as a real person, he is actually very clear that this is not much comparable to Zatanos' soul itself.
Zatanos's soul is his foundation, and the so-called essence of power is just the power possessed in his body before being pulled away from the soul. Although this power is already very powerful, as a tree without roots and a source without roots, it still has certain defects. Otherwise, Mephisto would not have used other revenge spirits as a carrier to bear this power.
This is the gap. He acknowledged this gap, and it was because of the existence of this gap that he was so taboo to Peter, and even said that he felt he was afraid of being afraid of meeting him.
As a ghost knight of the same origin, Degil actually coveted the soul of Zhatanos that Peter possessed for a long time. Because for him, if he could absorb the power of Peter, it almost meant that he had inherited all the power of Zhatanos, the ancient hell lord.
This will give him a qualitative improvement in his strength. It even gives him the ability to compete with all the hell masters.
Yes, he is a general under Satan and his right-hand man. But this does not mean that he can be satisfied with the current situation.
Beside Satan, as the leader of the Dark Angels Legion, he has actually reached the peak of his ministers. Even if he wants to climb up, he has no room for climbing.
On the one hand, this is because he goes up to the position of Satan and other hell masters. No one in hell can do such a stupid thing as giving way to him. On the other hand, his power limits his climb, making him almost at the point where he has no choice.
As a fallen angel, he is indeed powerful, but this kind of power is limited. To be sure, for the masters in hell, his strength is obviously not as strong as they can be taboo. In other words, he is not qualified to be compared at one level by them.
This is the limit of talent and the biggest shackle he has carried in his life.
Why has he been so loyal and unrequited to the deputy king Lucifer, who also came from heaven for so many years? It is not because he realized his limitations and made the wisest choice he thought.
Without any possibility of surpassing Satan, bend under him and saddle him with a horse. This is the most important choice for a smart man. If he fights for something that should not be fought for because of his blind ambition, the final result is likely to be that he becomes a dead bone under Satan's throne, a tool for him to intimidate the world, and he cannot even rest in dying.
Only idiots will do such things and make themselves fall to such an end. And he, who has always regarded himself as a smart person, certainly cannot make such mistakes.
On this issue, Degil can be said to have made the most correct choice he thought. But this does not mean that Degil really gave up all his ambitions and surrendered to Satan with peace of mind.
He is a smart man, and a truly smart man always claims to be superior. Although he chose to surrender, in his heart, he may not necessarily have the idea of completely surrendering.
This is the loyalty of smart people, and the loyalty of smart people is never worth it. Anyone with a little brain knows that a smart person cannot be completely trusted. Because they will be your subordinates, simply because they realize that they are inferior to you now. Once there is any possibility, they have achieved a reversal in this regard, then turning against the enemy is an inevitable behavior.
At this point, Degil is no exception. Even though he has served Satan for thousands of years, in his heart, he is still telling himself that this is only temporary, and it is just the best choice he has made for a better survival. As long as he has the chance, as long as he has a slight chance, he will get rid of the current situation and gain more for himself.
Tolerance is something he has been doing for thousands of years. His patience has indeed given him an opportunity. This opportunity is Zhatanos.
Do you think Degil gave up his identity as an archangel and chose to descend into a ghost knight in the form of a revenge spirit just because of his loyalty to Satan, just because he wanted to complete Satan's plan? If you think so, then you would be too stupid. Because a person like him could not be so selfless, and just because of a so-called plan, he would give up everything he has now.
You know, that is the commander of the Dark Angels Legion, the identity of being less than one person and more than ten thousand people in the anxious hell.
Although he still has such an identity now, as long as he realizes that he has lost all the essence of the angels, he will inevitably be rejected by the entire Dark Angel Legion.
The racism theory that the Dark Angels Legion has maintained for thousands of years will not be exceptional because of him alone. It can be said that when he made such a choice, he had already expected that there would be one day.
And why did he still abandon everything he has so much obligation to recklessly and make such an identity and essential change? In the final analysis, it was because he realized that this was the opportunity he had been waiting for for thousands of years.
Not at any time can he have the opportunity to peek at Zatanos's power. Before he fell from heaven, Zatanos had become Mephisto's most precious possession. If he wanted to take this power from his hands, it was actually not much different from Satan leading him to counterattack to heaven.
Both are almost impossible, so he has never made any extravagant hopes in this regard.
And it is in this era, in this era when Mephisto fell and the evil spirit hell had no heads, that he could have such an opportunity. This is the time!
Then, his natural identity, the Ghost Rider Inspector appointed by Heaven. This gave him enough confidence to find the essence of Zatanos power hidden by Mephisto among the numerous Ghost Riders. This is the right place!
Finally, the intrigues of various forces, even Satan, his biggest worry-free object, was also making plans and had no time to take care of his conspiracy. This is human harmony!
All the conditions that are beneficial to him have been collected. If he is considering the first and last, he will be a loyal minister for the rest of his life.
Of course he didn't want things to look like this. So naturally, he made the best efforts he had been dormant for thousands of years.
