Chapter 556 Surrender
Nohir has made it very clear, and Gargas naturally knows this truth.
The facts have been placed in front of him. He has no choice for a long time. If he does not surrender, he will die. Rather than continuing to stay in this shield until his tragic death, Jia Ge Si is more willing to get accepted another option.
Even if this goes against his ideal of freedom, as long as he can get out of this damn shield, Gargas is willing to make some small sacrifices. After all-
'No Hill Temariti, when you and I first met, I had a premonition that your boy would do great things in the future. If I were free at that time, I would definitely cast my shadow on you. I bet heavily in exchange for the ownership of your soul, because I know you have this value, but I didn't expect you to be able to cash in this value so quickly. This is really beyond my imagination. ’
Information about the Crown of Karsus flashed through Gargoth's mind. Nohir had previously made no secret of his desire for his own divinity, combined with what he had told Nohir about the steps on the road to becoming a god. .
Yes, everything is already obvious. There is no doubt that this kid is already on the road to becoming a god. He is very likely to be like the legendary Karsus, who can also find a mortal. The way to ascend to godhood has even been to gather quite a few of the elements to become a god. What is missing now may be the divinity in one's own hands.
‘It sounds like it has extraordinary potential. If I really want to find a new boss, Nohill might actually be my best choice at the moment. '
This sentence flashed through Gargas' mind. As a qualified devil, Gargas has long been accustomed to exploiting others and being exploited by his immediate boss. After all, as a devil, He had never had freedom in the true sense in his life, so after getting rid of the arrogance that had long been worn away by the years, Gargas quickly convinced himself to look at it with a calmer and more rational perspective. All this is happening now.
‘If Nohir’s deprivation of my divinity is really to allow himself to embark on the path of becoming a god, then this deal is actually completely acceptable to me. ’
'Back then, I secretly swallowed the divinity of Asmodeus to become a demigod. From that moment on, it would be difficult for me to continue to hang out in hell... Even if I gained freedom and took the initiative to ask Asmodeus Smodeus expressed his surrender. My best future estimate is death, and if the ending is a little bit worse, what awaits me is endless suffering. Based on my understanding of Asmodeus, the latter's The possibility is even 97% greater than the former. '
'That is to say, even after I am truly free, I will never return to hell or under the eyes of Asmodeus. In this case, I will either hide here and there forever. To come out, you must either find yourself a next-door partner who can support you in advance. This next-door partner must be capable enough and have the strength to resist or even ignore Asmodeus. In the past, it was almost impossible to find such a backer, but If Nohir can really achieve such an achievement...'
Alas, Gargas sighed secretly in his heart. Rather than finding a god-level backer for himself, Gargas wanted to achieve it himself. That divine power, but judging from the current situation and conditions, it is impossible for him to achieve this goal.
Although divinity is still in his body, this thing is just pure energy, an extraordinary substance, and a transcendent qualification. Although this thing is still extremely precious, it does not possess divinity. He is qualified to become a god, otherwise Gargas would not have fallen into this fate. The best result for him now is to join Nohir completely and find a strong enough backer for himself. Maybe he can still do it in the future. Live a good and nourishing life.
Jagos didn’t talk to Nohir very often, but it was enough for him to recognize Nohir’s character. This guy was true to his word, decisive and ruthless, but he also had his own persistence and determination. Because of his belief, those he identifies as enemies will never see the sun the next day, and he will never show mercy to evildoers. For Gargas, he originally thought that a being like him would not be able to get a chance to survive from Nohill, but the fact still happened. Although the words in Nohill's mouth were full of threats, they were undeniable. What's more, he did give Gargas a chance to live.
This alone allows Gargoth to clearly say that if Nohir and Asmodeus are compared, let him choose one of the two to be the boss without thinking about it. If there were any consequences, Gargas would definitely choose Nohir without saying a word, and then immediately devote his loyalty to him.
Although the word loyalty is a bit ridiculous for the devil, under the constraints of a strict enough contract, no matter how ridiculous the oath is, once it is signed, Gargoth will abide by it until the world is destroyed. until.
"...Okay, you win, Nohir - you will get what you want."
After Nohir finished what he said before, Gargoth fell silent again After about five minutes, the demigod devil finally spoke his first words, and while saying these words, Gargas also took the initiative to reveal his strength and wrote a sincere letter for himself. a permanent contract of betrayal.
Nohir reached out and took the parchment condensed from the power of hell. At the same time, the panel was scanned to see if there were any deliberate loopholes or hidden traps in the contract, without leaving Nohir. What was unexpected, but also very contrary to the devil's instinct, was that Gargas really didn't leave any tricks behind.
"...a wise choice."
Nohir raised his eyebrows, and a smile appeared on his lips. It should be said that he could grow up to be a demigod in an environment like hell. A first-level big devil? Gargas successfully chose the only way to survive in the conditions and environment where making the wrong move would mean death.
Whether it is the previous conversation or the current contract, if Gargas really tries to show any lack of cooperation in the above links, or even tampers with the current contract, then His future must be a dead end, with no possibility of continuing to live. But it seems that this guy already understood his character when he signed the first contract with him.
The attempt he made when signing the first contract had already made him know that the tricks he had done could not be hidden from Nohill's eyes, and he still had to learn from the past. Keep trying without dying?
Gargas is not that stupid.
