Chapter 124 The Usurper Gargas
Go to hell? That really coincides with my destination, but why is this guy so sure that he can break the seal just by going to hell?
According to the description on the panel, it is absolutely impossible for the seal of this shield to be broken from the inside without the influence of external forces. It is the same no matter where he goes. Even if he is a demigod, it is absolutely impossible. After all, The panel even detected his identity as a demigod, so it was impossible not to predict whether the demigod's divine power could break through the shield.
The panel says that the seal can only be broken with the water of the Styx, so the seal can only be broken with the water of the Styx. It is definitely not something that can be easily broken by just changing places.
“...Your situation is very rare, at least I have never heard of it, so I don’t know whether what you said is true or false, but according to common sense, this kind of thing can seal an angel. A powerful seal can’t be broken simply by changing its location, right?”
Oh, that's because you don't know how powerful I am, stupid mortal. My existence has long surpassed the imagination of ordinary devils. I only need to return to hell to replenish enough strength, and I will be sure to break through this damn side. Shield, and by then, my power will be strong enough to challenge that unknown Zariel and become the new Grand Duke!
Gargas, who possesses divinity, thought so.
The former Gargoth was directly ordered by the Lord of the Nine Hells, Asmodeus. He came to the main material plane with the mission of spreading the name of Asmodeus. The Lord of the Nine Hells requested He spread the gospel of hell and the doctrine of corruption among mortals, in order to develop mortal followers for Asmodeus, and enhance his divine power through the faith of these mortals.
However, all devils are cunning and ambitious guys, and Gargas is no exception. He saw a huge opportunity to improve his class in this mission, and thus came up with his own ideas.
Although he was restricted by the requirements of the contract and had to recruit believers and spread teachings for Asmodeus, he took advantage of his own body's advantage in the main material plane to disguise himself as Asmodeus. Monteith performed miracles in front of those mortal believers, thereby intercepting the power of faith that should have belonged to the Lord of the Nine Hells, and he therefore became a usurper.
However, the Lord of the Nine Hells appreciates this kind of devil with sufficient ambition and action, so although anger is certain, for Asmodeus, only interests are above all else. Since the situation is irreversible, how to use it efficiently? The aftermath of this incident became His first choice.
Therefore, Gargas concluded that after he did this, as long as he sincerely admitted his mistake and expressed his loyalty through a contract, he would be able to obtain the forgiveness of the Lord of Nine Hells, and by then he would have gained great power. I'm afraid it won't take too much time for me to be able to naturally replace the Grand Duke of a certain level of the Nine Hells and become the new Grand Duke.
But now it is impossible.
If you return to hell immediately after obtaining this power and kneel down to the Lord of the Nine Hells to accept the punishment, you may still be forgiven. By then, power, strength and status will be at your fingertips. However, But it's impossible now. Too much time has passed and he has lost the best chance to admit his mistake.
Time may wear away the anger of the Lord of Nine Hells over this matter, but it is more likely to intensify. If he cannot make any achievements to impress the Lord of Nine Hells, then after returning to hell What awaits him will be unparalleled cruel punishment.
So for Gargas, there are too many facts that he needs to consider now. The only thing he is thankful for now is that he has indeed gained strength because of his ambition.
As long as this power is still in his body, he is enough to be called a demigod, so Gargas is confident that as long as he returns to hell, he can use this huge power to get rid of this side. The bondage of the shield, but in fact...
"In fact, what you said makes sense. Maybe it is not as easy to lift the seal as I thought, but it is necessary to go to hell. Only in hell can I Only then can we find a way to break the seal, I can guarantee you this."
Jagos said hypocritically. It was obvious that Nohir's reaction made him think that everything was under his control. , but Nohir suddenly asked at this moment.
“You seem so sure that we will accept your offer, you even think that we will risk going to hell for a shield we don’t know. Seriously, this is really going to hell, I want to Do you know where you got this confidence from? ”
Nohir suddenly asked back and choked Gargas. It seemed that this idiot still had a little bit of brains to come up with this question. It was strange. This guy should have used Fury when fighting before. Shouldn't he be a barbarian?
However, despite his doubts, Gargas reacted quickly and responded immediately.
“Because you need me, and I need you.” “I forgive your ignorant question, because you have not experienced my power now, so you say such stupid things,”
“But as long as you experience my power once, then you will understand that you can’t live without me, and the help I can bring to you is definitely beyond your imagination.”
Nohir nodded hesitantly after hearing this.
"What you said is really confident, but wait a minute, I want to discuss it with my companions."
After saying this, Nohir immediately pulled Scar. After exiting this room and coming out of the secret temple, he came to the ritual room. It was only here that Nohir opened his mouth to speak to Scar.
“He will never be able to sense us from this distance. What do you think of the current situation?”
“I don’t trust this guy very much. If I want to give a reason, I can only say it’s because My intuition.”
The distrust is because the divine sense senses that he has evil intentions? No, this alone should not be able to sense the good and evil tendencies of a demigod devil.
"Is it just intuition? With your divine perception, can you feel whether she is good or evil, and whether what she said is true or false?"
Ska shook her head.
“I can’t feel it, I can’t feel it at all. Except for the obvious reactions of heaven and lower planes on the shield, I can’t tell whether anything this guy says is true or false. How can he do this? To this extent, I can only judge that her body is indeed very powerful."
"But although I can't tell whether what she said is true or false, there is one thing that is very strange, that is, if it is true, This shield is sealed with an angel from heaven, so why didn’t she choose me, the paladin, as the shield bearer, but contact you immediately?”
Well, this is probably the only flaw exposed by Gargath. I didn't expect you to find this key point right away, but as a paladin, this suspicion is indeed very reasonable.
Ska, as a paladin, will naturally attract the help of these orderly and kind creatures, and Gargoth probably has the idea of corrupting Nohir, so he has been focusing on Nohir. , after all, if you choose Scar as his holder, it will be almost impossible for him to make any small moves.
Because of the special abilities of paladins and the effect of divine blessing, they are equivalent to constant protection from evil on their bodies. Any influence from evil creatures will be greatly reduced on them, whether it is disease or curse. It will take effect on him, unless the effect of the curse is far stronger than that of the cursed paladin himself.
However, for the current Gargas, he is simply unable to release enough evil aura to affect a high-level paladin through the eighth heaven seal, even if he releases a huge amount of evil aura at once. , after being filtered by the seal, the quality of these evil auras cannot break through Scar's divine blessing ability at all, not to mention that every paladin is a person with a strong will.
If Ska held that shield, he would never be able to control him through the influence of evil aura, so he would put his main target on Nohir.
However, Scar does not understand the details of this shield. In the absence of key information, although this seems suspicious, it obviously cannot be used as decisive evidence to prove that this shield really has ulterior motives. Hill's eyes were different.
