Roy and Julia used their fallen angelic swords to open the spatial gate of the Black Stone Throne, and they returned to the main world.
Due to the different flow of time, although Roy and Julia had stayed in the Black Stone for a few hours, only an hour had passed in the main world.
After flying out of the crater, the two of them flew in the air. When they returned, Julia said to Roy, "What should we do about the mission that Mother Lilith gave us …"
Lilith had asked Roy to go to the Charred Council to find the so-called Red Sea Egg, but in fact, she had said this to Roy and Julia, and the mission had actually been given to them. Although Roy and Julia did not show any abnormalities, as a succubus, Lilith could easily smell the blending between them, so she naturally understood their relationship.
Hearing Julia's question, Roy smiled helplessly. After becoming a high-rank demon, although it was a good thing that his strength had increased greatly, it seemed that these demon lords and demon kings had begun to like to assign missions to high-rank demons.
Of course, from the side, this was also proof that Roy's strength had entered the eyes of the big shots. In the human world, this would be obtaining the appreciation of his superiors. But the problem was that when the big shots assigned missions, they did not seem to like to consider whether Roy had the ability to complete these missions or not.
It was the same for the Lord of the Hollows, and it was the same for Lilith now. They seemed to be measuring the difficulty of a mission based on their own strength, but when it came to Roy, it was clearly beyond the scope.
It was like some teachers thought that knowledge was very simple, but when they taught it to their students, they found that the students could not learn it no matter what, so they would scold the students. Why are you so stupid? Can't you even do such a simple question?
Roy was facing such trouble now. The Lord of the Hollows wanted him to deal with Demon Lord Abraxis, and now Lilith wanted him to go to the Charred Council to steal some Red Sea Egg. No matter how he looked at it, it was very difficult to complete, okay?
Roy could still fool the past demon councilor, the Lord of the Hollows, but it was a little troublesome with Lilith.
When Julia described the situation of Samael being sealed, Lilith's expression did not change, and she did not look surprised. This meant that Roy's guess was correct. Lilith was probably one of the masterminds behind the scenes. She and Samael were planning a huge chess game. In the beginning, perhaps the Horsemen of the Apocalypse had entered the game as pawns, but after Lilith gave Roy the mission, it meant that he had also become one of the pawns on the chessboard.
However, this time was different from the Heroes of Might and Magic world. He was not bound by the demon contract, and Roy was not enslaved by Lilith. It did not matter if he became a pawn and was used. After all, Lilith also gave him a reward. This could be seen as a transaction. The key was how Roy should plan for his own benefits during this process.
Roy could not figure out what Lilith wanted to use him for. It was also possible that this mission that Lilith gave him was just a casual arrangement. It would naturally be better if Roy could complete it. Even if he could not, it did not matter to Lilith. But there was no doubt that she would definitely divert some of her energy to pay attention to his actions. Roy could only try his best to do this, at least not delay it too much.
After thinking for a while, Roy said to Julia, "Lilith has been talking about the Charred Council since the beginning. She even told us that the Charred Council is very likely to be like those ancient gods corrupted by Void power and corrupted by the 'Corruption' of this world. Logically speaking, it's not much use for her to tell us two high-rank demons this. Even if they're really corrupted, it's not something we can stop. So what's her intention in saying this?"
"Emmmm …" Julia pondered for a while and said, "I think she might want to spread this matter through our mouths and let others know?"
"Let others know? The Horsemen of the Apocalypse? Indeed. After all, we know Fury. Moreover, because we helped her deal with the Seven Deadly Sins, we should have a certain degree of credibility in her eyes! " Roy nodded and agreed with Julia. "If Lilith personally told the Horsemen of the Apocalypse about the Charred Council being corrupted, they definitely wouldn't believe it. The name of the Mad Queen Lilith is her impression in the eyes of the world. When a demon like her says it, others will immediately doubt it …"
"Not only Fury, but also Death!" Julia said. "You have to know, didn't Death just go to the Black Stone before us? Lilith definitely didn't tell Death about this. Otherwise, even if Death didn't believe it, he might have gone back to the Charred Council to verify it … "Roy nodded.
"Now that you mention it, I understand. I'm afraid we have to add the other two Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Don't forget that War is still imprisoned in the Charred Council, and she wants us to go to the Charred Council Space … As for the last remaining Horseman of the Apocalypse, Strife, although I don't know where he is now, Lilith probably thinks that we might encounter him …"
"Also, have you forgotten about Ulthane Black Hammer we met earlier? The makers might also be a potential audience … "Julia said.
The two of them added one after another and gradually guessed Lilith's intentions. Spreading rumors that the Charred Council was corrupted would definitely greatly affect the pressure of the Charred Council. This further verified Roy's previous guess that the ultimate goal of Samuel and Lilith was the Charred Council.
Originally, Heaven was the first to initiate this End War, but now that the war had reached this point, Roy felt that Heaven was the true tragedy. They had completely fallen into the chess game built by the two demon kings. In terms of schemes and tricks, the demons were indeed slightly better …
"No matter what, let's catch the remaining Seven Deadly Sins first!" Roy said. "As for Lilith's mission, it's too risky. We have to plan well before we can act."
Julia was a little hesitant. She asked as she flew, "Since Mother Lilith agreed to tell you about the nephilim, is there a need to make a deal with Fury?"
"Of course!" Roy said solemnly. "Because if it doesn't work, I'll give up on going to the Charred Council. At that time, the deal with Fury will be the only way for me to obtain the secrets of the nephilim. Even if she's only a second-generation nephilim and the information I can obtain from her is very limited, it won't make me return empty-handed."
"Understood!" Julia nodded. "However, from the information revealed by Mother Lilith, the Red Sea Egg might be a very crucial thing. Let's not talk about whether we can obtain it, but even if we do, we might have to return it to Mother Lilith. Without the Red Sea Egg, how will you carry out the experiment? In addition, even if you can use the Red Sea Egg, how will you integrate the power of the nephilim into yourself? Don't forget, rumor has it that Mother Lilith created the nephilim from the ashes of angels and demons. You can't let yourself die once and then fuse, right? "
"I know what your question is. Lilith's experiment created nephilim, not demons. You're worried that I'll use this experiment on myself and cause me to become another 'person', right?!" Roy turned to look at Julia and smiled. "Don't worry. I already have a preliminary plan in my heart. Even without the Red Sea Egg, I can carry out experiments!"
Roy was not stupid. Of course, he would not destroy his body to carry out this experiment. In fact, because he was a system cheat, he had never thought of using Lilith's thing when he first heard about the Red Sea Egg. To him, he trusted Daddy System more. In fact, in the beginning, Roy wanted to go all the way.
In fact, in the beginning, Roy wanted to go all the way. His frost demon bloodline could grow to the level of high-rank demon, which showed that it was a very powerful bloodline. His Dark Cold magic power was also a unique mutated magic power. It could be said that if he continued to dig deeper into frost power, he would be able to have a place in the Abyss. But now, Roy found that it was very difficult to go to the extreme with a single power, and it was often easy to be targeted.
For example, the rift demon Vulgrim. Although he was not good at fighting, he was still a high-rank demon. If he really fought with Roy, it was hard to say who would win and who would lose. Unless Roy's frost power was strong enough to freeze Vulgrim in 0.1 seconds, not giving him any time to use his magic power. Otherwise, Vulgrim would hide in the Purgatory Space, and Roy would be at a loss. It was impossible for him to freeze space, right?! How powerful was his frost power?
Moreover, the magic world was like this. Roy could create equipment that resisted elemental damage, but did other enemies not know? With a single frost power, what if he encountered an enemy with ice resistance or even frost immunity in the future?
Now that he had become a high-rank demon, the growth of his condensed magic power was even slower. Under these circumstances, making himself more versatile would be beneficial for him to deal with all kinds of combat situations in the future. This was why Roy was tirelessly pursuing the secrets of the nephilim. Only the nephilim, who had fused the angel and demon bloodlines, could understand the use of all elemental powers at the same time.
It could be said that it was actually a good thing that Roy came to the Darksiders world this time because if he wanted to encounter a race like the nephilim in the future, he would have to go to the Diablo world … And Roy did not even know where the entrance to that world was …
