"Actually, we've dealt with each other before …" Chen Ang leaned back in his chair and relaxed. "Saint Milica Church, the San Venganza contract. You and your girlfriend Roxanne got into big trouble. She actually had a huge insurance policy on her. That was ten years ago. Who would buy insurance from a communist country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean? "
"At that time, I was the only insurance investigator in North America, and the total annual business was less than that of a small town in China."
Realization dawned on Johnny Blaze. He pointed at Chen Ang and said, "You're the insurance investigator … Roxanne told me that she later went to handle the investigation procedures for insurance fraud."
"After all, the insurance regulatory agency in America doesn't accept compensation for being kidnapped by a demon!" Chen Ang spread his hands.
"She's been insured by your company …" Johnny Blaze said. "But I don't remember meeting her!"
"After all, our company recognizes compensation for mysterious and supernatural injuries. Many customers become our company's regular customers after coming into contact with that. No one wants to die without knowing why … When I arrived to investigate, you'd already gone to save her. So I didn't meet her, but I saw Carter … the previous Ghost Rider. "
"I witnessed his negotiation with Mephitos … This old guy always wanted to exchange his soul for it, and agreed to many harsh conditions for it, but he failed in the end. A few years later, I saw him in Hell … He's not doing well now. "
"He changed the contract to a fake one … and almost killed Roxanne!" Johnny Blaze said angrily.
"But he also tricked the Witch Devil. After being seriously injured by your Trial's Eye, the Witch Devil came back to find us. It wanted to kill the old and weak Ghost Rider and take back the contract. But it didn't know that Carter had already made a deal with Mephitos and took back its youth. We worked together to kill it … to prevent it from resurrecting in Hell. You know … demons can't be killed easily. I trapped it in a voodoo doll, and it died a few years ago because of an accident! "
"What kind of accident can kill a demon?" Johnny Blaze didn't believe it. "Even the Trial's Eye can only banish them."
"Didn't the Spirit of Vengeance that accompanied you claim to be indestructible?" Chen Ang said, "You should know very well that there's another soul in your body, a vengeful soul burning with hellfire … But in the 1950s in Tibet, there was a Ghost Rider known as Nima who fought against the invaders and protected the slave masters. The Trial's Eye caused his soul to be judged, and even the Spirit of Vengeance in his body was destroyed! "
Johnny Blaze was silent. The spirit of vengeance that accompanied him told him that it was true.
"Carter also told me about Ghost Rider. Something about … signing a contract with Morpheus! Ghost Rider's mission was to bring those evil souls back to hell! But … there's something you might not be clear about? "
Johnny Blaze frowned. "What?"
"Many of his words are wrong. For example, Ghost Rider didn't have to sign a contract with Morpheus to be born. Instead, Morpheus had used the contract to control many Ghost Riders. You've always thought that your power comes from that demon. Yes, part of it is, but most of it actually comes from the Spirit of Vengeance in your body. "
"Is that the story you just told me?" Johnny Blaze asked. "Ghost Rider is the predecessor of the demon? Created by God? "
"No, no, no … Ghost Rider was created by the demon, and the Spirit of Vengeance was created by the Messiah. Morpheus combined the Spirit of Vengeance with the human soul, and used the human soul's sin, weakness, and complexity to corrupt the purity of the Spirit of Vengeance. In other words, the demon corrupted and controlled your soul, and then used it to control the Spirit of Vengeance.
"In order to achieve his own goals."
"If the dependents created by the Messiah are called angels. Then the Spirit of Vengeance was created by the Messiah to judge and test the Babylonians' provocation against the Creator. After the Angel of Vengeance destroyed Babylon, the seven most outstanding ones were given a mission — to test and judge the souls of sinners forever.
"They were the seven Lords of Hell later, the primeval demons.
"After that, because of the war, they split into two camps — demons and devils. They devoured each other, and the strong preyed on the weak. The weak primeval demons were all sealed, including the one that became your Spirit of Vengeance — Zathanos.
"Morpheus defeated Zathanos and took his power, but there was still a part of Zathanos' power that Morpheus couldn't take, so he thought of a way — at the very beginning, after the Spirit of Vengeance was created by the Messiah, they could devour each other, but after becoming a demon, he lost this ability. And he also wanted to know the secret of the Messiah's creation, so he used Zathanos' soul as the Spirit of Vengeance — it was originally one of the most powerful Spirits of Vengeance. He bestowed the Spirit of Vengeance, Zathanos, on his dependents, and then continuously corrupted and controlled it through human souls, discovering its secret.
"This is where you came from. The Spirit of Vengeance didn't belong to Morpheus, but you did! The part of Ghost Rider that belonged to you was the part that was corrupted by Morpheus. On the contrary, the part that you thought belonged to the devil … was actually an angel. The devil was an angel, and an archangel at that. But after the betrayal of the devils, their angel identity was corrupted. But Morpheus stripped Zathanos of the power of the devil and restored him to the original Spirit of Vengeance. It was precisely this corruption that allowed him to return to his angel identity and become the most powerful Spirit of Vengeance. "
"What you said is very interesting … but there's no evidence." Johnny Blaze pretended to be nonchalant, concealing his shock. "You think those monsters burning with hellfire are angels?"
"What do you think angels are?" Chen Ang asked. "Those winged humanoid angels with wings on their backs and infinite holy light and majesty? That's a matter of the New Testament. After a legion that belonged to Sephiroth was transferred to the vicinity of Earth, matters related to Earth's religion were handed over to them to handle, so the angels became them. They were actually subordinate to the Plague Legion. Star Spirits — the souls of stars.
"And in the Old Testament, when the Messiah was still directly interfering with Earth, the angels were those monsters. A lump of flesh with countless eyes and tentacles, a ray of pure light, a bubble without any shape, or a lion, an eagle, a calf, or even a wheel, an incomparably huge wheeled aircraft that looked like a star.
