Chapter 970: Big Gamble Begins, Revenge
In this world, there is probably no one who is more familiar with the power of hellfire possessed by the little spider than Mephisto.
Because the birth of this power itself has a great connection with Mephisto. Rather than saying that this is the power of Zatanos, it is better to say that it is based on Zatanos and cultivated by Mephisto little by little. Mephisto has spent a lot of effort on this power, so naturally, this power is very important to him, and it can even be said to exist like a right-hand man.
All the while, Mephisto wondered who destroyed his Ghost Rider and took away the power that belonged to the Vengeful Spirit. He has envisioned many goals, including the existence of Zhou Yi. But because there is no way to verify, these questions can only be temporarily put aside by him.
Before he had the ability to deal with Zhou Yi, he obviously didn't have the courage to appear in front of Zhou Yi. So, to a certain extent, he already doesn't have much hope for getting back the Spirit of Vengeance. But he didn't expect that things would turn around at this time.
This made Mephisto want to take action almost immediately, but in an instant, he suppressed this impulse again.
He is now surrounded by a group of fierce gods. If it is said that because of his overly urgent action, the power of the Spirit of Vengeance was exposed in front of these fierce gods, causing their covetousness, then things were out of his control.
So he wisely did not express anything on the surface, and even continued to chat and laugh with these fierce gods. But behind the scenes, he had already secretly sent a signal to his two subordinates, asking them to follow the clues of the disappearance of the undead to find the past.
For these two guys, Mephisto's requirements are not high. He only hoped that these two people could find the target, and promised not to let him escape from his sight. Then when he frees his hand, he can naturally get back what he lost.
Of course, the two people ordered by him would not know this. For this order of Mephisto, each of them has their own ideas. Therefore, when they quietly came to the address given by Mephisto and saw the big ship in the thick fog, the conflict between them broke out in due course.
"What do you think we should do? Just rush up and arrest all the suspects. Or wait until Mephisto comes here to solve his problem himself?"
Wesker said this, and it can be seen from his expression and his movements that at this moment, he is already a little eager to try. As for why he behaved like this, Victor, who was watching from the sidelines, quickly came up with a similar answer.
He seemed to take this as an opportunity to show his merit. In essence, he and Mephisto are just a transactional relationship. This relationship seemed good at first, but now it seems that something is not enough. At the very least, it is not enough for Wesker who wants to extract the maximum benefit. Because of the potential shown by Mephisto.
In the beginning, Wesker only regarded Mephisto as a cooperative partner. This is because he can rely on the way of being stuck between Mephisto and the baron, and use his special status to get enough from both parties. More benefits, and then make their own strength grow.
Of course, there is a requirement for doing this. That is, the strengths of the two are basically balanced. And he, who is in between the two, must not be obviously biased towards anyone.
This kind of behavior is like walking a tightrope, dangerous, but it can bring enough benefits to oneself. And the most important thing is to keep him basically invincible.
But now, the situation is different. Because Mephisto showed a completely different power. He made an agreement with a group of terrible evil gods,
became a member of their alliance. And after possessing such power, Mephisto's strength undoubtedly broke the delicate balance between him and the baron. Became a party with absolute crushing significance. And such a situation was absolutely never thought of by Wesker before. Therefore, he must do something at this time.
He had to let Mephisto see his value, and he had to realize the benefits that his existence could bring him before Mephisto gave up on himself. Only in this way can he ensure that he will not be swept into the garbage heap with this delicate balance broken.
Of course, doing so will cause him to lose a large part of his interests. It is even said that it may make him a servant of Mephisto forever, and he will never turn over again. But in doing so he survived. And being a living slave might not have the pleasure of a dead freeman. At the very least, if he was given a choice, he would choose to survive. And it was precisely because of this choice that he had to do what Mephisto told him to do to the best of his ability.
This is a vote, an important choice related to your future. To do this best, Victor's cooperation is extremely important. But will he cooperate? Wesker has also thought about this problem.
From his identity, he should have made the same choice as himself. Because if he did this well, it would be considered a bit more weight in front of Mephisto. And this should be especially important to him who is a subordinate of Mephisto. Therefore, he should be on the same front as himself. And that's why Wesker asked those words before. He needed Victor's approval, an agreement between himself and him.
Victor is very clear about this, but whether he will have the same idea as Wesker, that is a question that needs to be weighed.
On the surface, he should indeed reach an agreement with him. But in essence, he is not on Mephisto's side. Behind him is the Baron, who Wesker has identified as a loser. And based on this alone, it can be determined that they are definitely not on the same path.
What's more, there is still a certain gap between Victor and Wesker.
Although neither Wesker nor Mephisto said anything, Victor had already received the exact news from the Baron. That is, he was betrayed by Wesker. Moreover, even without the baron's explanation, relying on everything Wesker did for Mephisto in this operation, he could guess a similar result.
For such a result, Victor naturally gritted his teeth in secret hatred. In other words, any person, after tasting Mephisto's tormenting methods, would have the deepest malice towards the culprit who caused all this. It can be said that at this time, Victor definitely has the urge to kill Wesker. But for the sake of the overall situation, and the little dirty thoughts in my heart. He didn't directly turn against Wesker, but responded to him with an indifferent attitude.
"What do you want to do, just do it. Why ask me? Can I stop you?"
Although this laissez-faire attitude did not satisfy Wesker, it was within his acceptable range. Of course, he still wants to strive for more.
"Victor, you should know how important this kind of thing is to Mephisto. Of course, I am not threatening you with this, but I want to give you some advice. You should have seen the strength of Mephisto Well, his alliance with those fierce gods will obviously double his strength again. Under this premise, any benefits you have brought to him can be returned several times or even dozens of times .Even if it’s for your own sake, don’t you want to do something? Or, are you even planning to give up the benefits you have brought to you?”
Hearing what he said, Victor paused for a moment, then slowly turned his head and asked him a question.
"So what do you want to do?"
"It's very simple!" Wesker immediately laughed when he heard this subdued voice. "You saw that ship too. I can smell a lot of humans in it, and this seems to prove one thing. That is, the guy who stole Mephisto's power is on this ship , and he is planning to protect these humans to get out of here safely. This is our chance, isn't it?"
"Those fierce gods are planning not to let anyone go away. We don't need to take action, we just need to stir up these monsters in the mist a little bit, and let the minions of these fierce gods give us a head start. Presumably we should It is possible to force the thief out. He is in the light and we are in the dark. Just find the right time and give him a thunderous blow. Isn't everything within reach?"
I have to say, this idea is really exciting. If Victor really intends to advance and retreat with Wesker, then using such a method is indeed a good choice. However, he was obviously not on the same boat as him, and even said that they were still enemies.
And precisely because he was an enemy, Victor put a mocking smile on his face under the iron mask, and replied to Wesker in a sincere-sounding manner.
"It's a good idea, and I can accept it in principle. But it's up to me to repay the merit in the end."
This statement is a pretense, after all, it is accepted for nothing, and it is easy to arouse suspicion without mentioning a condition. So Victor deliberately made such a request. Regarding this request, Wesker nodded after thinking about it.
"Yes, but you must discuss it with me before reporting your merits."
"Happy cooperation, I will support you in secret."
After giving a brief answer, Victor disappeared into the mist directly. Looking at the direction in which he disappeared, Wesker took a deep breath, and immediately strode towards the direction of the ship.
His gamble begins. But he probably couldn't think of it. This gamble was a scam from the start. (to be continued.) ()
