After hearing Roy's words, Dante was silent for a while before finally returning to human form. He stabbed the demon sword in his hand into the ground in front of Roy, let go, and took two steps back.
Seeing that he had finally compromised, Roy nodded in satisfaction. He stretched out his hand and sucked Yamato over.
Demon Sword Dante and Yamato floated beside Roy. This was equivalent to gathering all three weapons left behind by Sparda at once.
"Very good!" Roy gently tossed a test tube containing red liquid to Dante. Then he said to him, "This is a recovery potion that can help Vergil recover from his injuries. As for whether you believe it or not, that's your business."
Dante held the potion and hesitated for a moment before returning to Vergil's side and feeding the heavily injured and unconscious Vergil the potion.
Then he saw that the wounds on Vergil's body really began to recover at an accelerated rate, and the muscle tissue was rapidly growing. In just a few seconds, Vergil's torn chest had healed.
Only at this moment did Dante realize that Demon Lord Osiris really did not seem to have any intention of deceiving him.
After Roy obtained Demon Sword Dante and Yamato, he walked back with the two weapons and sat back on his frozen throne. Sareth ran back and stood behind the throne with Cassandra and the others, waiting curiously for Roy to operate.
Roy's hands glowed with magic power as he stretched out toward the two floating weapons. When his hands touched the surface of the weapons, a ripple appeared in the void, and Roy's hands disappeared as though they had reached into the water. When he retracted his hands, he held two balls of black light, one large and one small, in his palms.
The larger soul light naturally came from Demon Sword Dante, and the smaller soul light came from Yamato. When Roy pulled out the two soul fragments that belonged to Sparda from the weapons, Demon Sword Dante and Yamato seemed to let out a wail, and the light on the weapons immediately dimmed.
Although they were not destroyed, anyone could tell that after losing Sparda's soul fragments, the power of these two weapons was much weaker than before.
Seeing this scene, Dante was naturally very sad. Nero also felt a little uncomfortable.
However, Roy did not care so much. He clasped his hands together and pinched the two soul fragments together.
In the beginning, these two soul fragments were still clearly separated from each other, but after all, they were soul fragments of the same origin, so after a period of time, these two soul fragments gradually began to fuse.
Roy's eyes flickered. Of course, he could tell that these two soul fragments had difficulty fusing at the beginning because they had been separated for too long. This undoubtedly verified Roy's guess. It was not a good thing to separate soul fragments for too long, especially those used on clones.
What if he developed self-awareness over time?
Wouldn't it be even more difficult to fuse them?
After waiting quietly for a while, the two soul fragments finally fused together, turning into a larger pitch-black ball of light.
"Demons will always be demons!" Roy suddenly said to Dante, who was paying attention to this side, "Even if your father, Sparda, is regarded as the savior of this world by humans, his soul is also an 'evil soul'?
This can't be changed no matter what. "
"…" Dante was speechless and could only change the topic. "What do you want to find the old man for?"
"What? Do you think I'm the same as those demons who want to hunt down traitors? " Roy looked at Dante. "Don't worry. I'm not that bored. I want to find Sparda because there are some things that only he might know!"
Yes, although he did not have much hope in the beginning, since Sareth had completed the mission Roy had given him and successfully summoned Roy to this world, Roy naturally did not want to come in vain.
There were a total of seven Demon Bible steles, and Roy now had four. The first one was a rubbing he obtained from the Goddess Calypso in the Pirates of the Caribbean world. This rubbing was said to have come from a high-rank flame demon that Calypso had destroyed. Roy had never seen this demon, so he naturally had no way of finding out.
The second and third ones were obtained from Kha-Beleth. Unfortunately, Roy did not know that Kha-Beleth had the Demon Bible steles before. He only obtained them from his treasury after killing him, so he could not ask Kha-Beleth about the specific origins of these two Demon Bible steles.
Now, the fourth one was in Sareth's hands, and he had not given it to Roy yet. Fortunately, the former owner of the stele, the Dark Knight Sparda, seemed to still be alive. This was the best news.
Since Sparda had the stele, it meant that he might know some of its functions. Then, would he know other information about the stele? For example, what effect would it have if all the steles were gathered? Which demons have the remaining steles? And so on …
This was Roy's biggest goal in coming to this world. It was not easy for him to meet a living demon lord who held a stele, so he naturally wanted to learn as much as possible.
As for his second goal, it was about Julia. Roy still remembered that Julia had once mentioned to him that Samael had brought her back from a certain world and made her a fallen angel, and this' certain world 'was very likely the Devil May Cry world!
In other words, this world was very likely Julia's birthplace, and fallen angels were transformed from angels. But the problem was that from the moment he descended into this world, he felt that there was something strange about this world. Not only did he not feel any angel aura in this world, but he also did not feel any angel aura in this world! If there were no angels, it meant that there was no Heaven in this world. Then, how could the demons here complete the promotion ritual if they wanted to promote to demon lord?
It was impossible for them to be like Dante and Vergil, who used their father's bloodline to directly become demon lords, right?
Hmm … Speaking of which, Dante and Vergil did not seem to have shown their True Name Liberation state. Could it be because they had not completed the promotion ritual?
What surprised Roy the most was that the demons of this world seemed to lack a very important thing!
Ouroboros Mark!
Any demon who traveled from the Abyss to another world would have an Ouroboros Mark engraved in the depths of their souls the moment they passed through a Gate of the Abyss. This unique mark was a protection of the Abyss for demons. No matter how weak a demon was, as long as their souls had not been completely purified when they died, they could be teleported back to the Abyss by the Ouroboros Mark.
Unfortunately, the moment Roy was summoned, the Ouroboros Mark flashed in the light of the magic formation. When he truly descended into this world, the Ouroboros Mark broke!
Not only him, but Julia and Benia were the same. Therefore, after descending, Roy immediately sensed the demons in the Qliphoth and found that they did not seem to have Ouroboros Marks on them.
Without the protection of the Ouroboros Mark, it meant that after the demons here were killed, their souls could not return to the Abyss!
As for whether the souls of these demons would continue to linger in this world or return to the 'Demon World' in the Purgatory Space, Roy did not know for the time being. Urizen had absorbed the souls of the demons who had died earlier, so he could not tell for the time being. This required Roy to verify.
This was not the only strange thing. There was another thing that puzzled Roy the most.
In Roy's impression, demon kings were very powerful. He could refer to Samael and Lilith, whom he had encountered in the Darksiders world. However, Sparda was only a demon lord, but he had defeated and sealed Demon King Mundus!
There were only two explanations for this. Either Mundus was simply a fake and only claimed to be a demon king, but he had not really reached the demon king level! Or, there was something else going on in the process of Sparda sealing Mundus!
In any case, there seemed to be many secrets hidden in this Devil May Cry world, and if he wanted to figure them out, he naturally could not do without Sparda.
Dante and Vergil were the protagonists of this world, the Children of Destiny. However, Roy already knew from his previous experiences that these so-called Children of Destiny could not really be killed. But Roy wanted to find Sparda now and learn many things from him. If he really killed the descendants of Sparda, it would probably be very troublesome to communicate with him.
Moreover, there were still many unknown factors in the future. What if he encountered a place where he needed the Sparda bloodline? At that time, Dante and Vergil would be of use.
This was also the reason why Roy showed mercy and let Vergil live. He had considered the long term …
Of course, if Roy did not say what he was thinking, no one would be able to guess it. Dante did not understand the cause and effect, so he felt that Roy's words were very unfathomable.
The magic power light in Roy's hands did not disappear. It kept moving around Sparda's soul ball. Soon, the dark light of the soul became even more dazzling. About half a minute later, an illusory shadow suddenly appeared above the soul ball!
The shadow was surprisingly a demon. In the shadow, he could see the eyes emitting white light on his head. There were two normal demon pupils on the left and right, and there was a long vertical third eye between his eyebrows. His demon horns did not stand erect like ordinary demons. Instead, they extended from the left and right for a distance before bending down to protect his cheeks. This demon was wearing black armor, and the demon wings on his back were slightly spread as he floated in the air.
"Old man?!" Dante could not help but exclaim when he saw the shadow.
"Huh? Another insect-type demon? "Benia said from behind.
Indeed, the demon wings on Sparda's back were not normal demon wings. Instead, they looked like the elytra of insects. This was the most important characteristic of insect-type demon bloodlines.
Roy could not help but look at Dante and the awakened Vergil. Thinking about it carefully, these two brothers did indeed have the structure of insect-type demons, but it was not too obvious.
"Heh, I've really been fated with insect-type demons recently!" Roy laughed self-deprecatingly.
He had just encountered Beelzebub's shell not long ago, and now he had encountered Sparda, this guy with an insect-type demon bloodline …
"Who … are … you …" Sparda in the shadow seemed to be at a loss as he asked Roy in a hoarse and halting voice.
Now, this Sparda's soul was equivalent to the combination of three fragments, so it could naturally produce consciousness. However, this soul fragment should have split off before Sparda disappeared, so Roy guessed that it should not have any memories of Sparda's whereabouts, so he asked straightforwardly, "Sparda, can you sense where your soul origin is?"
