Chapter 556: Surrender

Nosir had made his words very clear, and Gargos naturally knew this truth.

The facts were already in front of him, and he had no choice. If he didn't surrender, he would die. Compared with staying in this shield until he faced a tragic death, Gargos would rather accept another choice.

Even if this was contrary to his ideal freedom, as long as he could get out of this damn shield, Gargos would rather make some small sacrifices. After all,-

'Nosir Temariti, when you and I first met, I had a premonition that you would have a great future. If I were free at that time, I would definitely bet heavily on you in exchange for the belonging of your soul, because I know you have this value, but I didn't expect you to be able to cash in this value so quickly. This is really beyond my imagination. '

Gargos' mind quickly flashed the information about the crown of Karsus. Before this, Nosir had undisguised his desire for his own divinity, combined with what he had said to Nosir about the steps to become a god.

Yes, everything is obvious. There is no doubt that this kid is on the road to becoming a god. He is likely to find a way for mortals to ascend to godhood, just like the legendary Karsus. He has even gathered a considerable part of the elements of becoming a god. Now, what he lacks may be only the divinity in his hand.

‘It sounds like he has extraordinary potential. If I really want to change a new boss, Noshier may really be my best choice at the moment. ’

Such a sentence flashed through Gargos' mind. As a qualified devil, Gargos has long been accustomed to exploiting others and being exploited by his boss. After all, as a devil, he has never had true freedom in his life. So, after getting rid of the arrogance that had long been worn away by the years, Gargos quickly convinced himself and looked at everything that was happening now with a calmer and more rational eye.

‘If Noshier deprived me of my divinity in order to let him embark on the path of ascending to godhood, then this deal is actually completely acceptable to me. ’

‘I was able to become a demigod by embezzling Asmodeus’ divinity, and from that moment on, it was difficult for me to continue to live in hell… Even if I gained freedom and took the initiative to submit to Asmodeus, my best future would probably be death, and if the ending was a little worse, what awaited me would be endless torment. Based on my understanding of Asmodeus, the latter possibility is 97% greater than the former. '

'That is to say, even if I am truly free, I will never return to hell, to the eyes of Asmodeus. In this way, I will either hide from place to place for the rest of my life, or find a potential scapegoat in advance. This potential scapegoat must be capable enough to confront or even ignore Asmodeus. It was almost impossible to find such a backer in the past, but if Noshir could really achieve such an achievement...'

Alas, Gargos sighed secretly in his heart. Compared with finding a god-level backer for himself, Gargos wanted to achieve that divine power himself, but given the current situation and conditions, it was impossible for him to achieve this goal.

Although the divinity is still in his body, it is only a pure energy, a supernatural substance, and a transcendent qualification. Although this thing is still extremely precious, it does not mean that possessing divinity is qualified to become a god, otherwise Gargos would not end up like this. Now the best result for him is to join Noshir completely and find a strong enough backer for himself. Maybe he can live a good and comfortable life in the future.

Gargos and Noshir didn't talk many times, but it was enough for him to recognize Noshir's character. This guy was decisive and fierce, but he also had his own persistence and beliefs. Those who were identified as his enemies basically didn't see the sun the next day, and he would never spare the evildoers.

For Gargos, he originally thought that it was impossible for a being like him to get a chance to survive from Noshir, but the fact still happened. Although Noshir's words were full of threats, it was undeniable that he did give Gargos a chance to survive.

This alone allowed Gargos to clearly say that if he compared Noshir and Asmodeus and asked him to choose one of the two to be his boss without considering any consequences, Gargos would definitely choose Noshir without saying a word and immediately offer his loyalty to him.

Although the word loyalty is a bit ridiculous for the devil, under the constraints of a sufficiently strict contract, no matter how ridiculous the oath is, once it is signed, Gargos will follow it until the destruction of the world.

"...Okay, you win, Noshir - you will get what you want."

After Noshir finished speaking, Gargos remained silent for about five minutes before the demigod finally spoke his first words. While speaking, Gargos took the initiative to reveal his strength and wrote a sincere permanent contract for himself.

Noshil reached out to take the parchment condensed by the power of hell, and the panel scanned at the same time to find whether there were any deliberate loopholes or hidden traps in the contract. As expected by Noshil, but very contrary to the devil's instinct, Gargos actually did not leave any tricks.

"... A wise choice."

Noshil raised his eyebrows and smiled. Should we say that he is worthy of being a great devil who can grow to the level of demigod in the environment of hell? Gargos successfully chose the only way to survive under the conditions and environment where he would die if he made a wrong choice.

Whether it was the previous conversation or the current contract, if Gargos really tried to show any non-cooperation in the above links, or even tampered with the current contract, then his future would inevitably be a dead end, and there would be no possibility of continuing to live. But it seems that this guy had already understood his character when he signed the first contract with him.

The attempt he made when signing the first contract had already made him realize that it was impossible to hide the tricks he had done from Noshir's eyes. Why did he continue to try even though he had learned from the previous experience?

Gargos was not that stupid.
