Chapter 124 Gargauth the Usurper

Chapter 124: Usurper Gargauth

Going to hell? That really doesn't match my destination, but why is this guy so sure that he can break the seal by going to hell?

According to the description on the panel, the seal of this shield can never be broken from the inside without external influence, no matter where he goes, even if he is a demigod, it is impossible. After all, the panel has detected his identity as a demigod, so it is impossible not to predict whether the power of a demigod can break the shield.

The panel says that the seal can only be broken with the water of the Styx, so it 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 powerful seal that can seal an angel cannot be unlocked by just changing the place, right?"

Ha, 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 power, I will be sure to break through this damn shield, and by then, my power will be strong enough to challenge the unknown Zariel and become the new Grand Duke!

Gargos, who has divinity, thought so.

Gargos used to be directly ordered by the Lord of the Nine Hells, Asmodeus, and he came to the main material plane with the mission of spreading the name of Asmodeus. The Lord of the Nine Hells asked him to spread the gospel of hell and the doctrine of corruption among mortals, so as to develop mortal believers for Asmodeus and enhance His divine power through the faith of these mortals.

However, all devils are cunning and ambitious, and Gargauth is no exception. He saw a huge opportunity to improve his class in this mission, and thus had his own ideas.

Although he was restricted by the requirements of the contract and had to recruit believers and spread the doctrine for Asmodeus, he took advantage of his original body in the main material plane and disguised himself as Asmodeus to show 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 became a usurper.

However, the Lord of the Nine Hells appreciates such devils with enough ambition and action, so although he is angry, for Asmodeus, only interests are above everything else. Since the situation is irreversible, how to efficiently use the consequences of this incident has become His first choice.

Therefore, Gargus concluded that after he did this, as long as he sincerely admitted his mistakes and expressed his loyalty through a contract, he would definitely be able to obtain the forgiveness of the Lord of the Nine Hells. By then, he would have gained powerful power and it would not take too much time for him to replace the Grand Duke of a certain layer of the Nine Hells and become the new Grand Duke.

However, it is impossible now.

If he immediately returned to hell after gaining this power and knelt down to the Lord of the Nine Hells and accepted the punishment, he might still be forgiven. At that time, power, strength and status would be at his fingertips. However, it is impossible now. Too much time has passed and he has lost the best time to admit his mistakes.

Time may wear away the anger of the Lord of the Nine Hells about this matter, but it is more likely to intensify. If he cannot make any achievements to impress the Lord of the Nine Hells, then what awaits him after returning to hell will be an unparalleled cruel punishment.

So for Gargus, there are too many things he needs to consider now. The only thing he is thankful for now is that he has indeed gained power because of his ambition.

As long as this power is still in his body, he can be called a demigod, so Gargos is confident that as long as he returns to hell, he can use this huge power to get rid of the shackles of this shield, but in fact...

"In fact, what you said makes sense. Maybe it's not as easy to remove the seal as I thought, but going to hell is necessary. Only in hell can I study the way to break the seal. I can assure you of this."

Gargos said hypocritically. Obviously, Noshiel's reaction made him think that everything was under his control, but Noshiel suddenly asked back at this time.

"You seem to be very sure that we will accept your proposal. You even think that we will risk going to hell for a shield that we don't know. To be honest, this is really going to hell. I really want to know where you get this confidence from?"

Noshiel's sudden question choked Gargos. It seems that this idiot still has a little brain. He actually thought of this question. Strange, this guy should have used violent fighting before. Shouldn't he be a barbarian?

Although he was confused, Gargos reacted quickly and responded immediately.

"Because you need me, I need you too."

"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, you will understand that you can't leave me, and the help I can bring to you is definitely beyond your imagination."

Noshier nodded hesitantly after hearing this.

"You are really confident in what you said, but wait a minute, I need to discuss it with my companions."

After saying this, Noshier immediately pulled Scar out of the room, and after coming out of the secret temple, he came to the ritual room again. It was not until here that Noshier spoke to Scar.

"He will never be able to sense us from this distance. What do you think of the current situation?"

"I don't really trust this guy. If I have to say why, I can only say it's because of 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 says is true or false?"

Scar 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 judge whether everything this guy says is true or false. I can only judge if it can be done to this extent. Her body is indeed very powerful.”

"But although I can't tell whether what she said is true or false, one thing is very strange, that is, if it is true that what she said is sealed in this shield is an angel from heaven, then why didn't she choose me? It doesn’t make sense for this paladin to be the shield bearer and 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.

As a paladin, Ska will naturally attract the help of these orderly and kind-hearted creatures, and Gargoth probably wants to corrupt Nohir, so he has been focusing on Nohir. After all, if he chooses Ska As his holder, it would be almost impossible for him to do anything small.

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 is very difficult to take effect on them unless The effect of the curse was far stronger than the cursed paladin himself.

However, for the current Gargas, he simply cannot release enough evil aura to affect a high-level paladin through the eight-layer 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 of 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.
