"Lilith? The first succubus? " Roy thought and asked. "Other than her, are there any other demon kings in this world?"
"No!" Julia shook her head. "This world is only led by His Majesty Samael and Mother Lilith."
"Then, allow me to reject your suggestion!" Roy said expressionlessly. "I won't go with you to find Lilith to save Samael!"
"W-why?!" Julia immediately became anxious. "After finding Mother Lilith, she can take action. We only need to tell her the news, and we don't need to do anything. Aren't you willing?"
"That's not what I mean!" Roy shook his head. "Julia, think about it carefully. The Destroyer's depraved aura must have been seduced and transformed by a demon. Let me ask you, can an ordinary demon do something as powerful as the Destroyer?"
Julia was stunned. "W-what do you mean?"
"To be able to create that kind of demon king-level power, it can only be another demon king!" Roy said. "You said it yourself. The only demon king-level powers in this world are Samael and Lilith. If the Destroyer wasn't created by Samael, who could it be?"
Julia did not dare to say anything.
"I can understand your feelings of wanting to save Samael!" Roy did not care so much and continued, "But it's not a good idea to rashly look for help everywhere. Have you thought about it? If the Destroyer was lured by Lilith and was created, wouldn't you be like a fool if you rashly went to Lilith's door?"
What Roy said to Julia came from his intuition. His intuition told him that Samael's defeat was too strange. The most ancient demon of the Abyss, the incarnation of the Deadly Sin Demon King, could not even defeat a newly born Destroyer Demon King and was instead sealed by him. Anyone would find this unbelievable, right?
Therefore, Roy had reason to believe that this might have been a play directed by Samael and Lilith. They were just playing a game of chess!
The older the demon, the higher their intelligence. It was absolutely impossible to simply understand them from the surface. And Samael was such an ancient demon. His true goal had probably never been on Heaven. So, who was he plotting in this game of chess?
In this world, other than the third party, the Charred Council, was there anything else worth plotting against?
In Roy's opinion, the Charred Council, which could force Heaven and the Abyss to stop fighting and sign a contract, was like a fishbone stuck in the throat for creatures like demons, and they absolutely wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible! The same might be true for Heaven. No one wanted to have a mother-in-law managing them …
If he wanted to destroy the Charred Council, he had to remove the most powerful force of the council, and the most powerful force of the council was undoubtedly the Apocalypse F4, right?
Thinking of the inexplicable appearance of War, one of the Horsemen, in this End War, Roy felt that this might be a trap by Samael. His goal was to make the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the Charred Council turn against each other and disintegrate the power of the council …
Of course, the latter content was only Roy's faint guess, and he did not tell Julia. But he had already made up his mind not to participate.
Julia loyally wanted to remove Samael's seal, but what if Samael's seal was part of his plan? Julia's rash action might ruin Samael's plan instead. At that time, it was very likely that she would not receive a reward but a punishment!
In fact, Julia was not stupid. She had just been shocked by Samael's defeat and could not wrap her head around it for a while. When Roy analyzed it for her from the perspective of a bystander, she immediately reacted.
Seeing that she was silent, Roy said, "So, you should recuperate from your injuries first!"
Of course, even though he said that, Roy still felt a little regretful. He felt that it was just a pity for his one contribution. Julia had said that she would apply for a contribution reward from Samael. Now that Samael was sealed, there was probably no hope for this contribution reward for the time being. This time, Roy had used up all his souls to materialize the Cold Winter Armor. It would have been better if he could use his contribution to make up for some souls, but now, he could only continue collecting them himself.
In the next few days, Roy did not go anywhere. He stayed on the top of this building and quietly waited for Julia to recuperate.
During this time, Roy learned a lot from chatting with Julia.
Before Julia was transformed into a fallen angel, she should have been an original angel, which was a naturally born angel, not an artificially created product of Heaven. Her memories as an angel had indeed disappeared, but from what Samael had told her, she learned that Samael had brought her soul and body back to the Abyss after her defeat.
So in fact, Julia was a fallen angel with more potential. Even if she was transformed, she could still improve her strength in the future, unlike other artificial angels or fallen angels with incomplete bodies. After transformation, their abilities were almost fixed.
However, because fallen angels did not have a natural obsession with hunting souls like demons, Julia's strength had always increased relatively slowly. She had been by Samael's side for more than eighty years, but her strength was only a little stronger than when she had just transformed. Moreover, she was better at skill-based combat and not so good at improving absolute strength.
She told Roy that she had been by Samael's side for more than eighty years, and she could feel that Samael had always been faintly anxious.
As for what Samael was anxious about, Julia thought that it might be related to 'depravity'!
The 'depravity' she mentioned referred to a very special phenomenon, and it should be a kind of … power!
She told Roy that there were many alternate space bubbles in this world, with the human world as the center and distributed around it. For example, the alternate spaces where the Abyss Outpost and Heaven's White City were located. There were many different alternate spaces, and Demon King Samael had such an alternate space called the Black Stone Throne. In this space, there was a demon king city, and it was Samael's true residence.
However, many, many years ago, a huge black hole rift had appeared in this alternate space. This black hole rift hung high in the sky of the Black Stone Throne and kept rotating slowly. At the same time, it attracted the matter on the ground bit by bit.
This black hole could devour all power, and even a demon king like Samael could do nothing about it. During the eighty years that Julia had been following Samael, the devouring of the black hole had already affected the Black Stone Throne. Now, the Black Stone Throne was slowly disappearing, and a small half of the demon king city had turned into countless fragments and been devoured by the black hole.
Moreover, according to Samael, the black hole did not only appear in the Black Stone Throne, but it also appeared in other spaces.
In other words, as time passed, not only would this black hole devour all the alternate spaces, but even the human world would not be spared. In the end, the entire world here would be devoured and turned into nothingness!
And this might be the source of Samael's anxiety …
At first, Roy did not pay much attention to Julia's nagging, but when he heard the latter part, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
A black hole that devours everything? Turns into nothingness? Why … why does this scene sound so familiar?
F * ck! Isn't this the Void?! Could Director Samael of the Pantheon be like Li?!
Roy's eyelids twitched violently. He had felt that since he was a demon of the Abyss, he might really find the Warcraft world one day. But he never thought that he would discover the Void power that devoured thousands of worlds in this Darksiders world, just like the Warcraft world!
Although Julia and Samael called this power 'Depravity', judging from the nature of this power that Julia described, it was probably Void power!
"Is there really no way to stop this thing?" Roy could not help but ask.
"I don't know!" Julia said. "In fact, from the day I followed His Majesty Samael, I've never seen Mother Lilith. I only know of her existence. I heard from His Majesty Samael that Mother Lilith is carrying out a plan. If it succeeds, there might be a way to resist the power of 'Depravity' …"
"Did he say what the plan was?" Roy asked.
Julia frowned and thought for a while before saying uncertainly, "It seems … it seems that His Majesty Samael once mentioned a word called chaos demon …"
"Chaos demon?" Roy chewed on this word and then suddenly thought of something. A word suddenly popped up. "Nephilim?!"
Roy finally remembered! It seemed like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were nephilim, a special race created by combining angels and demons!
And the one who created this race seemed to be the Mother Lilith that Julia mentioned! The Lilith known as the Mad Queen of Hell!
In the past, when he served as an execution demon and chased after the illusion demon César, he knew that the bloodlines of demons and humans could combine, and the product of the combination was a half-human, half-demon body. In addition to being able to stay in a world forever, a half-human, half-demon body could also obtain incomparably powerful strength.
And now, through what Julia said, Roy discovered that there was something even crazier than creating half-demons. It was to combine the bloodlines of angels and demons to create half-angels and half-demons … And such a race also had incomparably powerful strength! The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were proof!
Hmm … Right, there's also the Diablo world. Those so-called nephalem are said to have the bloodline of half-angels and half-demons. Are they the same race as the nephilim?
Can the light power of angels and the dark power of demons really fuse? There seemed to be no need to ask about this anymore. The Mad Queen Lilith had already succeeded, and the nephilim race was it!
Be it the nephilim or a fallen angel like Julia, all of them vaguely described a fact. That was, even completely opposing forces could be combined …
Roy could not help but think of himself. When he fused with his bloodline, this mutation occurred, and the power of darkness and the power of frost completely fused together. But at that time, the system had reminded him to pay attention to his bloodline power and not mess around.
Roy gradually understood this reminder. The system only told him that there was a risk in doing so, but it did not tell him that it was completely impossible!
In other words, as long as Roy dared to take this risk, it was actually possible for him to fuse other powers, not just the power of darkness and frost … If this was really the case, then was a demon who fused all the elemental powers the chaos demon that Lilith studied?
