Chapter 1806 Guilt
"Your Excellency, we have received news. There was a battle at the front line. It seems that our people fought with Iron Man Tony Stark!"
When he first heard the news, the first thought that popped up in Peter's mind was that it was impossible. After all, this is hell, not the world, and the possibility of Stark appearing here is really slim. Unless it is said that he knew the calculation between himself and Master Gu Yi, he ran down to settle the score with himself after all the hardships. Or he's dead and gone to hell. Other than that, he couldn't think of other possibilities at all.
And these two possibilities, no matter which one it is, Peter is unwilling to face. The former made him feel that he had no face to face Stark at all. Because on this issue, no matter how he whitewashes his motives, no matter how good reasons he has, it cannot change the fact that all he did was to use and hurt Stark. of.
He doesn't need to be in the same situation, he can imagine what kind of blow Stark will suffer under their calculations. To put it bluntly, this is simply killing Stark's dream, pushing him into the abyss just when he saw the dawn and thought his ideal was about to come true.
It was outrageously cruel, but he chose to do it anyway. And the end result of doing this is that he will almost inevitably feel guilty for Stark, and if possible, he already has the idea of never meeting Stark again.
Avoid him, hide for a lifetime, if possible, he really intends to do so. However, even though he had already made up his mind to do this, after hearing such news, he still couldn't help hesitating.
It's true that he didn't dare to see Stark, but that was only when Stark was still alive. If, as he had guessed, Stark had some accident in the human world and fell into this hell after death, then he might no longer be able to be a shrinking turtle and avoid him.
This is something that makes him very conflicted, because he is not sure what the situation is right now. He didn't want it to be the former, it was Stark who came here to settle accounts with him. He didn't want it to be the latter either, it was Stark's ghost that appeared in front of him.
Difficult to choose, that's for sure. So after thinking about it again and again, he still gave the order to his subordinates in front of him.
"Let our people stop, and don't have any unnecessary conflicts with Stark. Of course, I don't want to see him now. You can ask him first, why is he here? He shouldn't be in the world at this time, management His country?"
Temporarily avoiding seeing, this is the only coping strategy Peter can come up with now. He wants to procrastinate, wants to figure out the situation before proceeding to the next step. In general, he couldn't make up his mind to deal with Stark when he was alone. He just wanted to wait for Master Gu Yi to come back and discuss with her before making a new decision.
It's just that although he thinks so well, the reality is that it is difficult for him to carry out his ideas smoothly. Because just when he gave this order, the ghost knight who came to report to him had already reported to him with an embarrassing face.
"Mr. Parker, we have communicated with the guy who conflicted with Mr. Stark, but he doesn't seem to intend to listen to us. In addition, judging from the strength he showed, he seems to be at odds with us. It’s not a group. I’ve already asked my brothers, and no one knows that guy. If we didn’t know you were here, we even thought it was you and Mr. Stark who had a big fight!”
"You mean, that guy looks a lot like me? What kind of resemblance?"
As if hearing a joke, Peter immediately started asking questions. You know, there is still a big difference between him and ordinary ghost knights. This difference is not only because his strength is stronger than ordinary knights,
More because of his appearance... extraordinarily conspicuous.
The blue hellfire, which has almost become his iconic symbol. And at this time, some ghost knights said that they almost confused a certain guy with himself, which really made him feel strange, and he began to doubt the eyes of these ghost knights.
Peter didn't believe it in his heart, and the knight who came to report knew that he wouldn't believe it. But since he dared to say that, then naturally there is evidence. So immediately, he justified himself aggrievedly.
"I'm not going to lie, sir. Everyone saw that the guy who fought Mr. Stark had the same blue hellfire as you. This is the first time we have seen a blue hellfire besides you. What about the guy who looks like hellfire?"
"Blue hellfire?"
Hearing this sentence suddenly, Peter was taken aback for a moment, and then his heart immediately became serious. He knew very well what the so-called blue hellfire was all about. That was the power of Zatanos, the Lord of Hell. What is strange is that the spirit of Zatanos is on him, and it has been completely integrated with him. And in this case, if there is anyone who can possess similar power, then there is only one possibility - the descendant of the Blazer family who holds the Zatanos Power Medal.
The inheritance of Zatanos gave him information about the Blazer family, and he knew very well that apart from his special case, there were probably people from the Blazer family who had the opportunity to obtain the power of Zatanos. This is Mephisto's backhand, which is not surprising. However, today when Mephisto was already dead, people from the Blazer family suddenly jumped out, which made him feel strange.
What is he going to do? Be Mephisto's loyal dog? Or, to avenge his dead family?
Peter thought of these two possibilities, and he just gave up on the first possibility after thinking about it for a while. A very simple reason, that is, today when Mephisto is completely cold, there will be no so-called loyal dogs to serve him again.
Don't forget, Mephisto is a demon king, and beside this demon king, there will be no loyal subordinates at all. Because the ancient thinker Mencius said it well, the king regards his ministers as brothers and feet, and the ministers regard the emperor as his heart... The emperor regards his ministers as dirt, and the ministers regard him as a bandit.
Comparing your heart with your heart, if you want to gain a person's loyalty, then at the very least, you have to pay enough attention and kindness to him. And Mephisto, as a demon king, has never played this trick. He has always used terror and cruelty to coerce his subordinates, forcing them to work for him. This kind of method was fine when he was alive. When he couldn't fight against him, there would always be people who would have to work for him because they were afraid of his strength. But after his death, it is simply wishful thinking to expect others to work for him with his cold heart and what he has done.
So, this matter has nothing to do with Mephisto. And if it has nothing to do with him, then maybe it has something to do with the Blazer family.
How many generations the Blazer family has been passed down from that ancient tribe, this is probably something that no one can tell except Mephisto, who has been monitoring them. As a human being tied to the fate of Zatanos, the Blaze family is almost inevitable, and will be played by Mephisto.
After all, Ghost Riders are born from a painful fate. It is simply unrealistic to expect Mephisto to put a horse on them because of Zatanos so that they can enjoy the happiness in the world. It is even said that because someone needs to be the carrier of Zatanos and become his ace knight, Mephisto will only intensify his efforts to torture the members of the Blazer family.
The person from the Blaze family that Peter met before is a typical example. He was almost tortured by Mephisto, so that at that time he could only be randomly beaten by Mephisto like a mad dog. handle. And that's where the problem lies.
If everyone in the Blazer family is like this, then in order to avenge his brother, it doesn't seem so strange that this guy who also has the power of Zatanos came to him at this time.
This should be his own trouble, Peter guessed in his heart. And if things are really like what he thinks, then he really doesn't want to let the conflict between him and Stark continue like this.
For one thing, it's his problem, not Stark's. Although he didn't know what kind of conflict the two had because of, but if the other party was targeting him, then such a conflict would give him the feeling that Stark was suffering on his behalf. Originally, in this series of events, he already had a sense of guilt that he owed Stark. If Stark suffered from this guy because of himself, then he would be even more unable to forgive himself. up.
This matter needs to be resolved, and it must be resolved as soon as possible. Thinking of this, Peter immediately had the urge to set off. It's just that as soon as he was about to leave, Gu Yi's previous instructions came to his mind.
This made him abruptly stop the steps he had just lifted up, and then the whole person fell into a dilemma.
Is it to delay for a while, waiting for Gu Yi to come back? Or should we put down Ancient One for the time being and solve Stark's problem first? After thinking about it, he decided to solve the sudden problem first. And this made him immediately give orders to the knight in front of him.
"Find some brothers and come here to protect Mage Ancient One. She is going to do important things now. Without my permission, no one can touch her or let anyone get close to her. Do you understand?"
This is a very simple order, there is no reason for the knight not to understand it. So soon, he called several Ghost Riders into Peter's tent.
So far, the Ghost Riders have almost accepted the existence of the Ancient One Mage. Especially in the recent battle, Mage Ancient One really used his magic to provide these knights with a lot of convenience. Therefore, the knights themselves have nothing against the matter of protecting the safety of the Ancient One Mage.
This is also the reason why Peter rest assured to entrust the safety of Master Ancient One to them. And after he saw with his own eyes a few ghost knights guarding every corner of the tent, making sure that even a mosquito would not slip in under their noses, he no longer hesitated. Under the guidance, he rushed towards Stark's direction.
And at this moment, in a desert not far from the Ghost Rider camp, the battle between Stark and Randkill has also entered a white-hot state.
As far as Stark is concerned, his biggest idea now is probably to defeat Randekiel, and then force him to use the previous methods to bring himself back to the world.
He was very worried about the situation in the human world, worried that Satan would enter the human world during the time after he left. If that's the case, it would be a disaster for him, because he really doesn't have much hope that the military's power can stop Satan's footsteps.
He fought against Satan, even if it was only for a short time, it was enough for him to have a general understanding of Satan's strength. That kind of weird power made him inexplicably panic, because he couldn't feel any possibility that he could defeat this demon king at all.
As a conceited person, if he doesn't even think he has such strength, then he will naturally not have too much hope for the little ability of his subordinates.
Therefore, he must rush back as soon as possible to stop Satan before he really enters the human world. And if he wants to do this, then Dekiel is a hurdle he must step over.
This is necessary, and it is also the reason why he is now chasing Randkill. For Randekiel, this is also the most troublesome problem for him.
He brought Stark into hell in order to stop Stark and prevent him from having any influence on Satan's coming. At that time, this was the only situation he could choose. Otherwise, he was really not sure whether Satan could enter the human world safely as originally planned under his interference.
It can be said that this is a choice he made in desperation. If possible, he certainly wouldn't want to leave the big stage of the world at that time. And if you start from this perspective, you will find that De Geer's desire to go back is actually more urgent than Stark's.
This kind of urgency made Rande Gere wish to get rid of Stark immediately, and then return to the world as quickly as possible. But Stark's relentless pursuit cut off his thoughts, and he had to fall into a bitter battle with Stark.
To be honest, such a situation was something he didn't want to see. But he really had no choice. And in the intensifying battle between them, when he was about to be hit by Stark, Peter appeared.
This appearance of him immediately gave Ran De Keer other thoughts. And driven by such thoughts, without any hesitation, he led Stark and rushed towards Peter.
Maybe this will be a good way to break the situation!
