Due to the alternate space where the Black Stone Throne was, the flow of time was much slower than in the main world, so even though Roy and Julia had been in the outside world for more than three years, to Lilith, it had not been that long. In her opinion, Roy and Julia had only left for a few months.
It was precisely because the flow of time here was slow that the Void Vortex in the sky could not devour this alternate space so quickly.
However, when Roy returned here, he still found that the devouring of this world had become more and more serious. Even the top of the Black Stone Castle where Lilith was had disappeared compared to the last time he saw it, turning into fragments that were sucked up by the Void Vortex. Roy calculated based on the previous situation and the current situation. Perhaps in another four to five years, this Black Stone Castle might completely disappear.
This puzzled Roy. He did not understand why Lilith still stayed here even though she knew that the erosion of Void power was so serious.
If she had stayed here to wait for Samael's return in the beginning, then since she heard from him and Julia that Samael was sealed, she should have evacuated first …
Or was she really staying here to find a way to resist the erosion of Void power?
All sorts of thoughts flashed through Roy's mind, but the moment he saw Lilith, he threw all of them away. He pretended to be dispirited as he held his broken arm with one hand and was supported by Julia. He lowered his head and said to Lilith, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty Lilith. I've let you down … I tried to sneak into the Charred Council to steal the Red Sea Egg, but I was discovered. One of the councilors, Raphael, appeared and stopped me. If it weren't for the fact that I still had some life-saving trump cards, I might have lost not just a shoulder but my entire soul …"
Lilith lay lazily on her side on her bed. She looked at Roy and then at his broken arm, and her pair of ghostly demon eyes flashed. No one knew what she was thinking, and she did not speak for a long time.
At this moment, Julia was beside Roy and also lowered her head, not daring to look at Lilith. In her impression, Mother Lilith was too cunning and smart. Julia was afraid that there was something wrong with her expression and Lilith would see through it, so she simply buried her head and did not say a word.
"Raphael?" Finally, Lilith straightened up a little and said, "I also guessed that it would be him. The high-level angel incarnation that appeared in this world back then disappeared from the White City …"
As Lilith spoke, she got up and walked over. After arriving in front of Roy, she stretched out her right index finger with long nails, hooked Roy's chin, and raised his face. Then she lowered her head and leaned close to him. "Come, child, tell me! Since you've met Raphael's incarnation, tell me if there's anything unusual about him! "
"Abnormality? I'm sorry, Your Excellency Lilith, I didn't notice … "Roy had a puzzled look on his face. He really did not notice anything. After all, when Raphael attacked, he had been decisive. After seeing him, Roy had only thought about how to save his life and escape. How could he have the time to see what was wrong with Raphael?
Roy did not lie about this, so Lilith could not see anything wrong from his eyes. She nodded. "Okay, I think even if something happens to Raphael, he won't show it in front of others!"
Roy suddenly thought of something and said, "Your Excellency Lilith, are you suspecting that Raphael's incarnation has also been corroded by Void power?"
Lilith loosened her fingers and nodded. "Didn't I say it before? The councilors of the Charred Council are also the gods of this world. Since Void power likes to corrode these gods, there's no reason for the councilors not to have symptoms of infection …" Roy's heart skipped a beat.
Roy's heart skipped a beat. Hearing Lilith's words, he suddenly suspected that Lilith's true intention was to use him to steal the Red Sea Egg to confirm whether the three councilors had been corroded by the Void. After all, the three councilors had been hiding in the alternate space of the Charred Council and did not appear in the outside world at all, and it was very difficult for people from the outside world to enter, so it was very difficult to know their situation. Since Samuel and Lilith were targeting the Charred Council, they definitely had to weigh the opponent's situation first …
However, Roy then felt that this idea was a little unreliable. If this was really the case, how could she ensure that he could bring back news alive after entering?
Is she really so confident in me? Does she think that I can escape from the incarnation of a seraph Archangel?
No, Lilith definitely has other backup plans! Roy suddenly remembered that the two Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Fury and Death, had come to the Black Stone!
If Lilith had left some unknown monitoring method on Fury, then as Fury returned to the Charred Council Space, the situation inside might reach Lilith … This was much more reliable than placing her hopes on a high-rank demon!
In other words, Lilith's so-called mission of getting me to find the Red Sea Egg was really just for me to act as bait?
Roy calmly analyzed this situation in his heart, but he did not feel any anger. In the first place, Roy had never been Lilith's subordinate. He was only temporarily obeying Lilith's orders due to the suppression of his rank. In that case, when Lilith used him as bait, she did not need to care about his life and death.
And Lilith probably would never have thought that not only did he survive from Raphael's hands, but he also directly took the Red Sea Egg for himself …
In this matter, it was still unclear who was the one who had cheated who …
Roy knew that since Lilith was asking about Raphael's situation, it meant that she really believed him and felt that he could not complete the mission. This matter had been successfully deceived. Unless Lilith could meet Raphael, then it might be possible to learn from him that the Red Sea Egg had been stolen. But demon king-level existences like them also had a tacit understanding that kings did not see kings, and they avoided meeting as much as possible. It would probably be a little difficult for Lilith to confirm the situation of the Red Sea Egg.
"Okay!" Lilith said loudly. "I'm also a demon who distinguishes between rewards and punishments. Although you failed the mission, considering the danger you faced, I won't blame you and will even give you an appropriate small reward!"
With that, circles of green magic formation halos appeared on Lilith's right hand. These magic formations looked very mysterious, and at least Roy could not tell what kind of magic power they were. Lilith stretched out her right hand surrounded by magic formations and pointed at Roy's severed arm. She clenched her claws and slowly twisted it to the right.
Then a strange scene appeared. Roy had suppressed his attributes, causing the regeneration speed to slow down. But as Lilith moved, the severed arm began to grow rapidly!
Moreover, to be precise, this was not the growth of cells. It was as though the missing part of his arm had suddenly appeared!
A moment later, Roy's entire right arm appeared, exactly the same as before it was torn off …
Roy and Julia looked at this scene in bewilderment and asked in disbelief, "This is … time reversal?!"
"To be precise, it's time reversal!" Lilith retracted her arm and placed her hands on her hips. "I'm just returning your severed arm to its previous perfect state. But why does your right hand look much stronger than your left hand?"
Roy looked down and found that it was indeed so, and his heart skipped a beat.
Under the effect of the limiter, Roy's strength maintained its original 150 points. As a result, the explosive muscles all over his body shrank a lot. But under Lilith's magic, Roy's right arm returned to its 1,500 points of strength, so it naturally looked much stronger.
Roy's mind raced as he wagged his tail. "I have a magic that can stimulate my potential. I used it when I fought Raphael earlier. The reason why this arm is like this might be because it was backtracked to that time. After all, Raphael took my arm while I was in battle …" Roy shook his tail rapidly.
"Oh?" Lilith's eyes flickered. "A magic that stimulates potential? Use it and let me see! "
Damn it, this Lilith is really paranoid! Roy cursed in his heart, but he did not hesitate. "Okay!"
With that, Roy used Bloodlust on himself!
Fortunately, I really have this skill. Otherwise, I don't know how to explain this!
Under the effect of Bloodlust, Roy's strength increased, his body swelled, and his muscles naturally swelled. Although the condition of his left arm and right arm was still different, it did look like it had swelled, so Lilith finally dispelled her doubts after seeing it. She said disdainfully, "I see. I was wondering what it was. So it's Bloodlust! You're really courting death if you want to rely on this magic to fight Raphael! "
"That's why I lost an arm!" Roy pretended to smile bitterly and shook his head.
"Since you want power so much, I'll give you something good!" Lilith waved her hand, and a small crystal bottle suddenly appeared in the void. In this crystal bottle, there was a red and black viscous liquid.
Lilith threw the bottle to Roy. "Take it. This is black dragon blood. Drinking it can increase your strength to a certain extent, but not much. Both you and Julia can use this black dragon blood."
Roy lowered his head. "Thank you for your generosity, Your Excellency Lilith! Then, we'll take our leave! "
"Go!" Lilith nodded.
Roy and Julia retreated out of the bedroom and then slowly left the Black Stone Castle. After Julia opened the spatial channel and left the Black Stone Space, Roy looked at her and smiled.
There would be no more problems now …
