As Duke became more and more moody, people both inside and outside of the group and the enemy began to fear his bloody methods, so the name "Tyrant of Fifth Street" spread unknowingly, and as several large gangs were destroyed at the hands of Fifth Street, the name became more and more famous.
At this moment, it was not known whether Duke's active "search" had worked, or the other party felt that the time was ripe.
In short, the demon that both saved him and harmed him finally reappeared.
Faced with Duke's strong desire to get rid of all this, the other party did not get angry or disappear again. Instead, he told him a name and said that as long as he completed the contract, the spirit of vengeance would leave his body and everything would return to "normal".
Duke, who was at his wit's end at that time, did not completely believe what the devil said, but he had no choice but to do as the other party asked.
So he killed the man who was sentenced to death by the devil with his own hands, and that man was Robbie's uncle Eli Morrow!
Eli Morrow died, but the deed was not fulfilled.
When Duke angrily questioned the other party, the other party asked him for his soul, Eli Morrow's soul!
Yes, in the eyes of the devil, the death of the body is not important at all. What is important is the soul, which is the essence of a person's existence!
But where should Duke go to find Eli Morrow's soul
At this moment, the devil told him that Eli Morrow's soul was still in the world and had not gone to heaven or hell. The soul of a person who had just died would most likely linger around the place of death or instinctively surround relatives, but this existence would be very short.
With no way out, Duke had to convince himself to believe the devil's words again. He searched for the car that Eli Morrow was driving when he was killed, while looking for Eli Morrow's relatives who were still alive.
That's why the scene of sending people to hunt down Robbie happened.
As for looking like Eli Morrow, that was just an excuse.
However, after so much effort, the final result was nothing.
Eli Morrow's soul was never found, and the demon disappeared once again without a trace.
Knowing that he didn't have much time left, Duke started to take desperate measures. He indulged himself during the day and fought with the spirit of vengeance for control of his body at night to avoid dying faster.
It was not until the second Ghost Rider incarnated by Robbie Reyes appeared that the long-forgotten demonic contract became hot again, burning his soul, and he had some vague guesses.
And just now, he finally figured everything out!
He fell into the devil's trap from the very beginning. No, it should be said that he and Robbie were two poor creatures who were being toyed with!
Why couldn't he find the spirit of the dead Eli Morrow
Because that guy's soul has turned into the Spirit of Vengeance, and with his indirect help, it merged with the dying Robbie to become another new Ghost Rider!
And if his guess was correct, the devil's contract that Robbie signed without any choice must be related to him, and it was even very likely that the contract could be fulfilled by killing him completely or destroying his soul.
So, the situation became like this. Duke needed the spirit of vengeance in Robbie's body to complete the contract, but Robbie needed to kill Duke completely in order to complete the contract.
In other words, the two 'unkillable' Ghost Riders became each other's only chance of liberation!
But this only chance does not exist at all!
The final result will most likely be that the spirit of vengeance in both parties' bodies devours their souls, becoming the 'real' Ghost Rider.
What's even more terrifying is that the culprit who caused this vicious cycle only showed up three times from beginning to end. Two of them were to deceive Duke and Robbie into accepting the Spirit of Vengeance and becoming Ghost Riders, and the other time was to take the initiative to fill the loophole left in Duke's contract.
This method of manipulating people's minds to achieve one's own goals is simply unheard of!
That's why Duke laughed even more crazily after he "realized" it. He was laughing at Robbie's actions, but also at himself.
An ordinary person actually tried to fight the devil that gave him power. It was really a humiliation for himself!
After listening to Duke's sudden crazy mumbling, Robbie's face was gloomy and no one knew what he was thinking.
Dio remained silent, slowly digesting this information.
He believed that at this time, Duke, whose spirit was on the verge of self-collapse, should not need to lie about such things, because it would not do him any good.
On the contrary, if everything he said was true, then there was a high probability that Robbie would become like him when he suddenly learned the truth.
After all, if there is no hope in life, the tragic ending is already predetermined. Under such a blow, it would be strange not to go crazy.
It would probably be nice to find a companion for myself on this road of no return.
It is not surprising that people will do anything that harms others and themselves when they are in extreme despair, because there is no difference and they will not care about the details.
The saying that one should take someone with him before dying has been around since ancient times.
After roughly guessing this guy's dark psychology, Dio did not expose it. After all, by this time, Robbie should have made his own judgment and decision.
After a long while, Robbie let out a long breath and said with a firm look in his eyes: "I want to go to hell again!"
He was almost forced into a desperate situation!
Judging from Duke's current condition, he may be swallowed and replaced by the spirit of vengeance in his body at any time due to some opportunity.
With that devil's superb skills in manipulating people's hearts, it is impossible for him to leave such an obvious loophole for them to exploit.
In other words, once the Spirit of Vengeance devours Duke, it means that he will never have the opportunity to fulfill the contract.
So after Robbie figured this out, he wanted to give it one last try!
The situation will only get worse if we continue to stay in the human world, and only by going to hell can we find a solution.
In fact, he had obtained some plausible intelligence last time, but he had been in a high-intensity battle and had no time to verify its authenticity. Fortunately, this time he had a better opportunity.
Robbie's eyes couldn't help but fall on Duke, who had a crazy look on his face.
"Have you decided? Are you sure you want to do this?"
"No matter what the final result is, I will definitely do what I promised you, and I will be back as soon as possible."
Dio looked at him deeply and did not stop him from taking such a risky move, because it was useless to stop him.
Fortunately, time is not that tight now, so maybe we can still look forward to it
