Walking through the wastelands of Hell, Shinbian Yuki felt like an extremely unlucky person. He could not think of many people who could be as unlucky as him. Like many Ghost Riders.
Most of those who became Ghost Riders did not do so out of their own will. It was a curse that was passed down in the family bloodline. The power of the Spirit of Vengeance was not something anyone could withstand.
Although the Spirit of Vengeance was born in Hell, it had been modified by the Heavenly Father Jehovah. Only through the modification could the power of the Spirit of Vengeance be used by humans. The most orthodox Ghost Riders were used to deal with the most powerful Lord of Hell, Zarathnos.
It was a war between the Lord of Heaven, Jehovah, and the Lord of Hell, Zarathnos. The reason for the war could no longer be verified. After all, it was something that happened thousands of years ago.
Gods had a limited lifespan. Most of them could only live for about 5,000 Earth years. Of course, there were some extremely powerful beings who could live even longer.
For example, Jehovah had lived for a very long time. He had lived longer than most gods, even Odin. He was even a little older than Odin. From a certain perspective, it could be said that being old and not dying was like being a thief.
Jehovah was already a true thief. It was hard to say why Jehovah could live for so long. Perhaps every god had their own secrets?
If we ignored the secret of Jehovah's lifespan, let's go back to the war between Heaven and Hell. Without a doubt, the victor was Jehovah. He was still living happily in his kingdom in the clouds.
He ruled over his kingdom of God, as well as the 12 Archangels and many ordinary angels. Oh. Of course, they had to get rid of the defected Archangel Lucifer, who was now one of the Lords of Hell.
Over the past thousands of years, other than that, Jehovah had lived quite a good life. His former enemy was in a worse state. Zarathnos had been defeated, and his territory had been divided among the other Lords of Hell.
There was no such thing as a common enemy in Hell. Jehovah did not declare war on Hell, but only on Zarathnos himself.
This left Zarathnos without help, and he was almost completely destroyed. Perhaps you noticed the word "almost". Yes, almost. However, this did not mean that his body and soul were truly destroyed. Every powerful demon or god had their own life-saving trump card.
Of course, sometimes these trump cards would work, but sometimes they would not. Zarathanos' life-saving move had worked. He didn't die completely, or it could be said that he retained a trace of his soul fire. He didn't fall into the cycle of reincarnation in the eternal city of the universe like those fallen gods.
He became another form of existence, an existence that no one could have imagined, including Jehovah. He had transformed into the Spirit of Vengeance and had even found a host whose bloodline had been passed down for generations: the Blaze Family.
As for the contract between Morpheus and Johnny Blaze, it was actually more complicated and confusing. When Johnny first met Li Jie, he mentioned that Lucifer had sent someone to look for him. The relationship between them was too complicated. In fact, it had to do with the secrets of an almighty Sovereign.
Alright, the topic was a little off topic. Let's focus back on Kanabe Yuki. As the descendant of the Shen Bian Family, Shen Bian Xiong was the most suitable person to be a 'vessel' in this generation.
Forgive me for using the word "vessel," but perhaps to an intelligent being such an adjective is a slur and a stain.
But the orthodox Ghost Rider itself was a kind of curse that couldn't be erased. Please remember that it was a curse, not the so-called blessing of God.
As mentioned earlier, the inheritance of Ghost Rider and the Spirit of Vengeance wasn't something that ordinary humans could bear. If you've ever been influenced by mysterious doctrines such as fatalism, you should understand what this meant.
Anyone who took on the responsibility of being a 'vessel' for Ghost Rider would eventually become a part of the Spirit of Vengeance.
There had been no exceptions so far. Kanabe Yuki hadn't volunteered to be a Ghost Rider. It could be said that it was all a carefully disguised deception. It had been the night after his coming of age ceremony.
An angel with luxurious feathered wings had come to his side and asked him to take on this responsibility in the name of the gods.
Fight for the gods! Didn't that sound exciting? Especially when you meet a genuine angel, compared to any teenager who once had the dream of a chuunibyou, they would happily agree.
But how could there be so much warmth like in fairy tales in this world? This terrifying world didn't have the chosen ones in the stories.
There were only obligations and balance. The universe was balanced and reincarnated. Jehovah had destroyed Zathanos, so he had to take on some of Zathanos' obligations.
As Loki had once said to Li Jie, good gods and demons were all part of the universe, and everything was for balance.
The amount of kindness in this world corresponded to the amount of malice it had. Neither more nor less, neither dirty nor clean.
No matter how great Jehovah the Father in the story was, he couldn't avoid the most basic rules of the universe. In the words of Eastern Metaphysics, this was called: bearing karma.
So the Ghost Riders who had originally been used to deal with Zathanos had now become tools to maintain balance. Every Ghost Rider heir was a "vessel." All they had to do was willingly open their souls and let the Spirit of Vengeance merge with them.
Then they would transform into Ghost Riders and help Jehovah maintain the balance that he had almost broken. What these Ghost Riders needed to do was what Zathanos had originally needed to do.
Capture souls, throw them into Hell, and judge and convict them. This wasn't a good job. Those who were with demons for a long time were bound to fall into Hell themselves.
Every time someone's soul was interrogated, it was actually a torture and a burden for Ghost Rider himself. In the process, he would gradually lose his humanity.
If a person lost the person in his soul, could he still be called a person? This was a question worth considering.
Kanabe Yuki had discovered these problems in recent years. He realized that as a warrior of the Father, his life wasn't as good as he had imagined.
Every time he was with a demon, he felt like he was in an icehouse. It was a terrible feeling, and he began to question his faith in the Father. He began to wonder if what he was doing was the important task of saving the world that he had dreamed of doing.
He wanted to find the answer. Based on the memories of the Spirit of Vengeance in his body, he wanted to find the original birthplace of the Spirit of Vengeance: Hell, and find the truth of everything.
In the ancient memories, he knew of an entrance to Hell. But the Spirit of Vengeance's memories were huge and messy. Perhaps the Spirit of Vengeance had forgotten to remind him.
The Ghost Riders in the East Ocean had a natural enemy, and that was Hand and the Beasts. After trying to step into Hand and Hand's castle and failing to go to Hell through the underground cave, Kanabe Yuki was controlled by Beast.
Kanabe Xiong was controlled by Beast. Beast had strange magic that seemed to be specifically targeted at Ghost Rider. This made Kanabe Yuki unable to resist.
It also made him a prisoner of Hand and the Society. He was forced to work for Hand and the Society at certain times, such as the battle with Li Jie and the others in New York.
But in the last battle, he had only worked and not put in any effort. Because he didn't have a good impression of Hand and the Society. Just like how slaves didn't have a good impression of slave masters.
But Beast had been killed in the last battle, which was beyond Kanabe Yuki's expectations. In fact, ever since Beast had died, Kanabe Yuki had felt the magic trapping him getting smaller and smaller.
Maybe it was time for him to break free? Of course, before he was about to break free, something happened that made him temporarily give up on the idea.
