Fury fell into deep thought again. As she stared at Roy's eyes, all sorts of thoughts flashed through her mind.
Roy looked at her calmly. In fact, Roy's words could not be said to be a complete lie. What he said about the Void was indeed true, but he had just brought things from another world to this world. This made it impossible for Fury to verify the truth of his words.
Void power was too similar to the 'Corruption power' that Julia mentioned, so even Roy doubted if it was really Void power.
This was the reason for Fury's hesitation. Although she had only indirectly come into contact with some information about the Fall, it was vague and specious, but after confirming it with what Roy said, some things immediately became clear.
She could now say that she believed seventy to eighty percent of Roy's words.
"So, did the Dark Titan Sargeras you mentioned succeed?" After a while, Fury suddenly asked Roy, "Did he successfully stop the corruption brought about by the Void?"
"I don't know!" Roy shook his head. "Although the worlds he destroyed have indeed made Void power lose its value in corrupting and can be said to have stopped the spread and growth of the Void, it may also weaken the power that fights against the Void. No one knows whether his actions are ultimately right or wrong. The result can't be known until the last moment …"
"Is that so …" Roy's words dispelled Fury's last trace of doubt.
Previously, she had always wondered if Roy, this demon, was using the fallen deeds of the Dark Titan Sargeras to lure her into falling as well. After all, such a powerful and stalwart warrior had joined the demon camp. The power of this example was indeed very powerful. But Roy's final words did not have the slightest intention of promoting the demon's achievements. Instead, his evaluation of Sargeras was very objective, which immediately dispelled Fury's last doubts.
"Very good!" Fury stood up and said, "I have to admit that the news you brought is indeed of great value! I'll think of a way to verify what you said! "
"How are you going to verify it? Go to those eroded spaces? "Roy asked.
"Of course, I have to see it with my own eyes!" Fury said furiously.
Hearing this, the watcher beside her immediately panicked and hurriedly said, "Mistress, don't forget your mission …"
Unlike the watcher that the council would send to monitor War in the future, the watcher beside Fury had always been cautious and seemed to be led by Fury. However, as soon as she opened her mouth to speak, Fury grabbed her neck and roared at her, "Shut up! If what this demon said was true, then the balance that the Four Horsemen were striving to maintain would be meaningless! When the entire world is swallowed by the void, what balance is there left!? "
This was indeed true. Although Fury's temper was irritable, she was still a Horseman of the Apocalypse, so she naturally knew what was important!
The watcher was slightly unwilling and said, "But if you disobey the orders of the Parliament and don't pursue the Seven Deadly Sins and leave the Mortal Dimension to head to another world, could it be that you aren't afraid of incurring the punishment of the Parliament? Don't forget, the Horsemen of the Apocalypse are loyal to the Parliament. How can you put yourself in a disadvantageous situation just because of the words of a demon? "
"That's easy!" Fury raised her head and said to Roy, "Demon, you're called Osiris, right? Now, I'll hire you to help me solve the Seven Deadly Sins. When the time comes, I'll come back to find you and bring them back to the council. How about that? "
Not to mention the watcher, even Roy was in disbelief. "Are you sure this will work?"
"Of course!" Fury placed her hands on her hips. "The council only put me in charge of pursuing the Seven Deadly Sins, but it didn't say that I have to take action!"
There's nothing wrong with this logic …
However, Roy still did not dare to take over easily. "The Seven Deadly Sins sound like they're from the demon camp. You actually want me, a demon, to pursue them?"
"Don't worry! The Seven Deadly Sins aren't true demons! " Fury said. "They're just a group of prisoners, the extreme representatives of negative emotions. They don't have real bodies. After escaping, they'll possess the bodies of other creatures to obtain physical forms. You only need to kill their physical forms to capture them!"
With that, Fury threw a skull-shaped talisman at Roy. She had taken it off the giant strange bird when she was fighting it. After Roy caught it, Fury said angrily, "This is the Talisman of Sin. It seems to be some kind of container that can resonate with the Seven Deadly Sins. Envy used it to communicate with the other Seven Deadly Sins, but now he's sealed inside. You just need to find the other Seven Deadly Sins!"
Seeing that Roy was about to speak again, Fury shook her finger first. "Don't refuse me. If you still want to know the secrets of the nephilim, then you'd better do as I say. I'll execute the contract, but I have to leave first to verify what you said. If what you said is true, then when I return, I'll fulfill the contract and tell you the secrets of the nephilim that I know. If I'm held back by the Seven Deadly Sins, then you'll have to wait a long time!"
"You really have a good understanding of demon contracts!" Roy had no other choice. It was not that Fury did not want to execute the contract, but that she planned to wait until the authenticity was verified before executing it. Roy could not refute such an excuse at all.
After thinking for a while, Roy said, "It's not impossible to help you hunt down the Seven Deadly Sins, but this is another deal, right? What can I get? "
"How about this!" Fury thought for a moment and said, "Since it's an employment, then I can pay you with souls. If you can give me the Seven Deadly Sins after I return, then I'll pay you a million souls!"
"A million?!" Roy looked her up and down. "Do you have that many souls?"
"Don't underestimate the wealth of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!" Fury said proudly. "I've served the Charred Council for thousands of years and killed countless enemies. I still have this amount!"
Roy was skeptical. After thinking about it, he suddenly asked, "What if you can't come back?"
"What do you mean?! Are you looking down on me?! "Fury was immediately annoyed.
"No, no, no. I mean, what if you're captured by the council?" Roy said as he looked at the watcher.
"Then eat the souls of the Seven Deadly Sins!" Fury waved her hand, not seeming to care at all.
Hearing this, the watcher immediately screamed, "Mistress, how can you …"
However, Fury was so willful. She only replied, "I have the final say!" Then she turned around and left.
Among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Fury was the only female, but at the same time, she had the worst temper and was the most unpredictable. In fact, she had descended to the human world to hunt down the Seven Deadly Sins because the council had negotiated conditions. She did things so recklessly, and it could be said that even the Charred Council had a headache with her …
Seeing Fury turn around and leave, the watcher paused for a moment and did not immediately follow. Instead, she flew in front of Roy and pointed at him. "Damn demon, do you know what you've done?! Hurry up and hand over the Talisman of Sin! Because of your lies and deceit, Mistress will … "
However, before she could finish speaking, Roy suddenly stretched out his claws and pinched the watcher's head. Then he exerted a little force and squeezed the watcher until she screamed.
Roy brought her in front of him and looked mockingly at the watcher. "Your strength can restrain the Horsemen of the Apocalypse being monitored, but I'm not the target of your surveillance. Your strength is useless against me, so … who gave you the courage to yell at me?"
"Let … let go of me!" The watcher's head was pinched by Roy, and her lower body floated around, trying to break free. She roared, "I'm a member of the Charred Council, a demon! How dare you treat me like this? Aren't you afraid of the council's punishment?! "
"Do you think I'll be afraid?" Roy asked. "Get it straight. I'm a demon, and I've always been an enemy of the council! Even if I kill you here, do you think the council will come to trouble me for a mere watcher like you? "
"Of … of course!" The watcher struggled with all her might and said unwillingly, "Even without Fury, there are still three of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!"
"But the problem is that the other Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse can't even take care of themselves now, right?" Roy smiled sinisterly. "It seems like you, the watcher's lackey, haven't figured out the current situation of the council!"
Roy was indeed fearless now because according to his speculation, Demon King Samael was probably plotting against the Charred Council. Through various events, he seemed to be planning to make the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the Charred Council turn against each other, thereby disintegrating the Charred Council's greatest power. And according to Roy's impression, Samael had probably done it in the end. At least, after War reappeared a hundred years later, he had indeed betrayed the Charred Council …
Moreover, Roy had used the topic of Void Corrosion to successfully make Fury leave the human world. He was certain that if Fury went to other alternate spaces to search for 'Depravity', the Charred Council might punish her. With Fury's personality, this punishment would definitely backfire …
Although killing the angel Uriel had changed the plot of this world, Roy was not worried at all. He only needed to go with the general trend, and this general trend was nothing more than the rebellion of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the collapse of the Charred Council. This way, not only would it not interfere with the plans of Demon King Samael and Lilith, but it might even accelerate this process.
After all, Roy was a demon from the Abyss. To him, Samael and Lilith were the real big shots. As long as his actions did not affect or anger these two big shots, it would be fine. As for the other angels or the Charred Council, Roy could not be bothered with what they thought …
Just as Roy was thinking about whether to help Fury kill this watcher, Julia suddenly reminded him, "The Talisman of Sin … seems to be glowing!"
Roy looked down at the Talisman of Sin in his other hand. As expected, the Talisman of Sin was emitting a faint light.
Since the Talisman of Sin itself had a faint light, it was impossible to see the additional light if one did not look closely. Roy was a little puzzled as he waved the talisman twice.
Then he discovered a strange phenomenon. The closer the talisman was to the watcher, the brighter the light seemed to be.
"…" Roy looked at the talisman and then at the watcher before suddenly coming to a realization!
"Haha! What an incredible discovery! " Roy said to the watcher. "Why does this Talisman of Sin emit such a faint light when it gets close to you? Could it be that … when you were struggling, you accidentally borrowed a little power through this talisman?! Are you … also one of the Seven Deadly Sins? "
