In addition to this undead army, Roy now had about a thousand low-level demons under him, including more than eight hundred low-rank demons and more than two hundred middle-rank demons. These demons had gathered near Roy's territory and obeyed his orders. Roy was very convenient to use. When the time came, he would have them join the undead army and attack the Charred Council together, which should be of some use.
Attacking the Charred Council sounded very risky, but in fact, there was still a possibility of success for Roy. Of course, the premise was that he could enter the Charred Council Space.
During the process of Roy sending low-level demons to collect souls for him, the demons would occasionally bring back some strange things. Roy could not determine what these things were for, so he finally handed them over to the demon merchant, Vulgrim, and obtained many souls from him. Vulgrim was a rare rift demon, and there was naturally no need to mention his understanding of space. When he came to trade with Roy, he would often chat with Roy for a long time, so during the chat, Roy learned a lot about alternate spaces.
Outside the main world (the human world) of this world, there were a large number of alternate spaces, and in these alternate spaces, there were often some habitable environments, resulting in the birth of different races. The history of these races was much earlier than that of humans. They were called ancient races and the natives of this world, while angels and demons were actually outsiders. In the beginning, demons discovered this world through a Gate of the Abyss. As soon as demons appeared, they brought war and slaughter, and these ancient races naturally wanted to resist. Then the angels followed. After all, angels would appear wherever demons appeared, so the early history of this world was actually a chaotic battle between angels, demons, and the natives.
The power of the natives could not contend against the angels and demons, so they quickly declined in the war. In order to avoid the threat of extinction, they sealed the alternate spaces they lived in and encrypted them with magic power. If one did not know the method, it would be very difficult to enter. Unfortunately, although this encryption won the natives a chance to breathe, many races eventually died out after they sealed themselves. They could not contact the main world, and their population and resources were greatly limited. Over a long period of time, hundreds of native races had died out, leaving only a few races.
According to Vulgrim, the space where the Charred Council was located was such an encrypted alternate space, and it was probably the most complicated and difficult alternate space to crack. It was precisely this difficult alternate space that protected the Charred Council in the beginning. Otherwise, with their behavior of trying to stop the war between angels and demons, they would have long been killed by the joint forces of angels and demons. How could they have given them the chance to grow?
The history of the Charred Council was very old, and this was not wrong. But in fact, in the beginning, they could not do anything about the angels and demons. It was not until the Mad Queen Lilith created the nephilim that they saw the tremendous war potential of the nephilim race. After incorporating the nephilim for their use, they finally suppressed the angels and demons.
But the potential of the nephilim was too strong. Although the Charred Council wanted to use them, it was also worried that they would break free from control and bite back at the council, so it bewitched the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to kill all their compatriots as a sign of allegiance.
Of course, they were able to fool them successfully because the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were unique. Just as Lilith had said, their other compatriots were more inclined to the personality of demons, bloodthirsty, and cruel, while Death was more inclined to the side of angels and compassion … The Charred Council used this conflict of ideas to successfully divide the nephilim.
After obtaining the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the Charred Council had become a stronger force than the angels and demons, and it used force to make the angels and demons yield and establish a truce agreement.
The encryption of the alternate space was so complicated that even a demon king like Samael found it difficult to crack it. This kind of thing was actually not something that could be solved with strength, so even though the angels and demons hated the Charred Council to the core, they could not do anything to it. And the councilors of the Charred Council hid in their alternate space, safely controlling it from behind the scenes, and maintaining the so-called 'balance'.
For a long time, no one had ever been able to enter the council space without the permission of the Charred Council. For tens of thousands of years, this' safe 'thinking had probably been deeply ingrained in them …
But they would never have thought that one of the Seven Deadly Sins would be so scheming. After escaping from the cage, not only did he not rush to escape from this space, but he also chose to possess the body of a watcher created by the Parliament …
Carelessness was the greatest mistake the Charred Council had made! After thinking about it over and over the past three years, Roy found that this was the only opportunity he could use!
In the beginning, when he discovered that the watcher was Envy, he only wanted to give her a push. Didn't Samael and Lilith plan to make the Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the Charred Council turn against each other? Since he had encountered them, he would just give them a push. Therefore, he did not put the watcher into the talisman when he exposed her true identity but let her follow by Fury's side without doing anything.
His original intention was to see how Fury would choose when Envy betrayed her at the last moment. But he did not expect to encounter the Mad Queen Lilith after going to the Black Stone Throne and even give him a mission to find the Red Sea Egg. So in this way, the value of Envy, the Seven Deadly Sins he had left behind, immediately rose by a level.
Vulgrim had told Roy that the watchers created by the council could freely enter and exit the alternate space where the Charred Council was. This was very valuable information. There were not just one or two of these watchers, but they were all tools used by the Charred Council to monitor the entire world. In order to make it convenient for them to report information at any time, they gave the watchers the right to enter and exit at will. Envy might have specially chosen a watcher to possess to make it convenient for her to come back and take revenge on the Charred Council.
Envy hid very well, and the Charred Council did not discover her and arranged for her to be by Fury's side to monitor. This meant that the Charred Council did not fully trust the Horsemen of the Apocalypse and had always been guarding against them. But this was a good thing. For Roy, this was the key to entering the Charred Council Space.
Think about it. It had not been invaded for tens of thousands of years, and the Charred Council was probably already used to it. How careless and unguarded would they be once Roy brought the undead army and the demon army in? How much chaos would it cause?
Of course, Roy did not intend to underestimate the Charred Council. These undead army and low-level demons were just cannon fodder to him. Once the Charred Council reacted, the cannon fodder might quickly be killed. But as long as they could create chaos and give Roy time to fish in troubled waters, it would be enough!
This was what Roy meant when he said that although there were risks, there were also opportunities …
On the second day after Envy left, Roy gathered the undead army and low-level demons. Envy followed the agreement and brought Fury, who had returned to the main world, to find Roy on the third day.
Roy welcomed Fury in his castle with Julia, but he found that she was different from when he met her previously. She seemed to have become much stronger!
Roy did not know where Fury went after abandoning her original mission and what she encountered. But it was obvious that she had indeed investigated the matter of 'Depravity'. When she arrived at the castle, her expression was solemn.
She was riding a very tall and strong horse. This was a warhorse covered in blue light patterns. The mane at its neck, the tail at the back of its tail, and its four hooves were burning with dark blue lightning-like flames. This was a mount exclusive to Fury-Fury!
"Demon Osiris, you're not dead yet? This really surprises me! " Although Fury's expression was solemn, her mouth was as venomous as ever. As soon as she saw Roy, she jumped off the horse, raised her chin, and placed her hands on her hips. "I thought I could save the one million souls and take the Talisman of Sin from your corpse …"
At this moment, Envy still looked like a watcher, following closely behind Fury. It seemed that this fellow's flattery was quite good, and Fury had never doubted her.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you …" Roy took out the Talisman of Sin and played with it. "All the souls of the Seven Deadly Sins are in here. I didn't let you down. So, where are my one million souls?"
Fury did not say anything and just stared at Roy. Julia realized what Fury was thinking and could not help but hold the hilt of her sword.
The watcher was a little anxious. She was afraid that Fury would go back on her word and not fulfill her promise. After all, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse had never had a good impression of demons, so she could not help but whisper, "Mistress …"
Only Roy stared at Fury without the slightest panic and had a smile on his face. But with his appearance, this smile was not very amiable.
A moment later, Fury finally moved. She took out a scroll from somewhere and threw it at Roy.
"This is a soul contract!" Fury said angrily, "There are a million souls sealed inside. I spent a thousand years collecting them. However, after such a long time, I don't know if the souls inside have reached their expiration date … Do you want to check?"
Roy pinched the soul contract, looked at it, and did not say anything. He threw the Talisman of Sin to Fury. "There's no need. I trust the credibility of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse … Then, the deal is complete!"
With these words, the phantom of a demon contract appeared in front of Roy and Fury and slowly burned out. This meant that the demon contract had been fulfilled.
