Chapter 319: The Contract of San Venganza
Chapter 319: The Contract of San Venganza
The first word of Mephisto came from a folk story, and its meaning came from the \'Swindler\' in the ancient Hebrew language. In the long story of \'Faust\', it depicted "Him" as a sinister, cunning, cynical, and degrading character, yet it did not lose its calmness, humor, and wit. It was the devil that symbolized destroying everything and denying all truths!
And among Marvel World, Mephisto had existed since the ancient gods, and was likely to have participated in the battle of heaven. Moreover, at his peak, he was a single universe level warrior, and his every move was no less powerful than that of Dormammu next door.
According to what Lod knew.
Even among the many devil kings that were born after the destruction of hell, only Mephisto was able to contend with Lucifer, and was the devil who was most likely to get close and inherit the name of "Satan."
However, compared to Lucifer\'s almost tyrannical strength and his beautiful face that was no less than an angel\'s, the impression Mephisto left behind by being the Infernal King was his treacherous and cunning character, as well as his superb methods of deception.
Because of this, Mephisto definitely had many enemies.
Whether it was Earth, Hell, or even the gods of the Outer Star System, many of them had been fooled by him.
For example, Asgard had an old man who was tens of thousands of years old. So far, he still remembered Mephisto\'s scheme, and even did not hesitate to personally make a move to exhaust his already short lifespan to make him fall.
Such a devil, who was synonymouswith treacherous and cunning, suddenly sent him an invitation. It was no different from a weasel paying a tribute to a chicken. He definitely did not have any good intentions. Who knew how big a trap was waiting for him!
"Pentagram... Are you planning to use Haschwalth to lure me into a trap that has already been set up?" Lod held the gilded business card and slowly turned it between his fingers, his eyes flickering with a faint light.
Haschwalth must be saved, but he must be prepared.
Otherwise, if he rushed over in the heat of the moment, not only would he not be able to save the person, he would also lose his life.
With Mephisto\'s treacherous and cunning character, he should not have placed his hopes on the hostage.
Therefore, this invitation letter must have other deeper intentions, and it was definitely not just to lure him into the trap.
"Wait a minute... the pentagram?"
Suddenly, a thought appeared in Lod\'s mind. He thought of a way and immediately tried to input his spiritual power into the business card.
Buzz!
As he expected, after pouring his spiritual power into the gilded business card, the words "Mephisto" were printed on the surface of the card. It slowly changed shape like flowing lava and then slowly formed another word - San Venganza!
"San Venganza?"
Lod frowned. He knew this place.
In the movie of the Ghost Rider, a village called San Venganza once appeared. The villagers here were the most devout believers of God. Everyone\'s soul was extremely kind and pure. Like a saint, the light shone on this land. When the faith of the people reached its peak, there were even rumors that an angel had descended here and sprinkled the glory of God.
However, such a saint was used by Mephisto for three thousand years to use all kinds of schemes and tricks, turning the people of San Venganza Village from the Saints who believed in God into fallen demons. Then, they sealed all three thousand fallen Saints\' souls in a sheepskin contract.
This contract with the souls of three thousand Fallen Saints was the most important prop in the Ghost Rider movie - The Contract of San Venganza!
From the information provided by the Ghost Rider movie, Lod guessed that the true purpose of the contract was to open the door to hell in the San Venganza Village and provide an important medium for Mephisto\'s true body to descend into the world!
However, due to the intervention of an Archangel, the first Ghost Rider betrayed Mephisto and left with the Contract of San Venganza, delaying the plan that should have been completed three thousand years ago until today!
However, there was a very serious error in logic that made Lod feel puzzled.
Since the contract was so important, why did Mephisto have to wait for three thousand years until the first Ghost Rider, Carter Slade, appeared before slowly taking action?
If he really wanted to take back the contract, could Carter Slade hide under the nose of this cunning devil for three thousand years with his little disguise ability?
Anyone who knew a little bit of brain would know that it was impossible!
Then the answer was very obvious...
The contract of the San Venganza might be important, but for Mephistopheles, it was not as important as he had imagined.
This treacherous and cunning devil had a deeper reason. If he was not wrong, this should be related to Johnny Blaze. He was Mephisto\'s real target!
After figuring out the meaning of the contract, he turned back to look at the flowing lava words on the gilded business card. Lod understood Mephistos\' meaning and sighed slightly, "So that\'s how it is. Using the three thousand Fallen Saints in the contract to tempt me, I\'m afraid this is your real trump card, right?"
Mephisto was very cunning and smart.
He never believed in any fake emotions of hollow, so he would usually use great benefits to entice those greedy people to take the initiative to take the bait.
The contract that he threw out was like a bait hanging on a fish hook, using three thousand sealed Fallen Saint souls to lure him to take the initiative!
That was a total of three thousand Fallen Saint Souls!
To any weak Hell Lord, it was an irresistible temptation!
This was because the souls of the Fallen Saints in the contract could not only open the gates of hell for them to enter and leave the human world as they pleased, but they could also raise the grade of hell and increase their strength!
No Hell Lord could say \'NO\' to the souls of the three thousand Fallen Saints.
But for Lord, although he doesn\'t need the gates of hell.
The quality of the souls of three thousand Fallen Saints was equivalent to three thousand medium souls in the system evaluation!
Three thousand medium-level souls, what kind of concept was that?
That was a total of thirty lottery draws, a huge sum that he had never had before, and it was not a dream for him to become rich overnight if he was lucky!
"Hehe..."
Lod stared at the gilded business card in his hand and smiled, "As expected of Mephisto. His ability to manipulate people\'s hearts is indeed amazing. It seems that I have to make a trip there."
The world was full of benefits, and the world was in constant turmoil. This was a principle that had never changed.
He could not help but admire Mephisto. In terms of grasping the greed of human nature, his calculations were quite accurate.
On one hand, he had to write it using Haschwalth\'s Spirit Power as a hostage, and on the other hand, he had to use Contract of San Venganza as bait, forcing him to accept this invitation.
However, Mephisto had miscalculated one thing, and that was to not provoke him!
Don\'t you like to scheme?
Good!
Then I\'ll smash your chessboard, let\'s see who else you can scheme against!
So what if you\'re a single universe level warrior?
As long as Mephisto\'s true body could not descend to Earth, the clone would only be at the peak of Big Boss\' death, so it would be best if he could use it to test sword!
