Hearing Nero's question, Benia explained to him in a very proud tone, "That's because these demons sensed the aura of a demon lord! They're welcoming a new ruler! "
Dante was silent. Of course, he knew who the new ruler Benia was referring to was Demon Lord Osiris in front of him.
Even a demon king like Urizen had been killed. Apart from Osiris, who else in the Demon World could be called a king?
The original ruler of the Demon World, Mundus, had already been sealed, so demon lords were the strongest demons that could be born in this land of the Demon World. Although Roy was flying high in the sky on Rafaro's back, the demons on the ground could feel his strength and naturally could not help but follow him.
During this running process, some demons fell behind, but then more joined in. Hundreds of thousands or even nearly a million demons ran wantonly on the ground, gradually forming an enormous black wave of demons on the ground. Looking at the scene of demons dancing below, even Dante and the others broke out in cold sweat.
It was unimaginable what kind of disaster it would cause if so many demons broke through the spatial barrier and ran to the human world.
Now, Dante and the others could only pray that Demon Osiris was really not interested in the human world as he had said. Otherwise, it would be troublesome. They might really have to rely on their father, Sparda, to fight against him …
In fact, the reason why Dante and the others followed was because they had this thought. If their father, Sparda, was really still alive, then they could join forces with the old man to fight against Demon Osiris.
Just as the three of them were letting their imaginations run wild, they suddenly heard Roy ask Cerberus, "Cerberus, do you know where in the Demon World we're heading?"
"Your Holiness Osiris!" Hearing Roy's shout, Cerberus walked forward and lay down in front of him. "The Demon World is very big, and I don't know the specific environment of each place. But I just took a look and feel that if we keep going in this direction, we might be pointing to Despair Prison!"
"Oh? Prison? "Roy asked." What is this place? "
"Despair Prison is actually just a name?
It was not a real prison! Under normal circumstances, demons rarely imprison enemies. They usually eat them directly … "Cerberus explained." The reason why it's called this is because it's called this.
Was it because it was the lair of the whip demons?
This whip demon isn't a demon species of the Abyss?
It was a mutated demon race on the side of the Demon World. These whip demons had very strong sadistic personalities.
Often torturing their prey.
It was precisely because of the personality of the whip demons that they tortured their prey to death before eating them. When His Majesty Mundus was on the throne?
Would they hand over some rebels to the whip fiends to deal with?
So as time went by?
The lair of the whip demons is called a prison?
Thebes Prison?
It means' prison of endless torment '… "
"Hmm?
In other words, Sparda might have been imprisoned in this place? "Roy pondered." Isn't that easy to find? "
"Your Holiness, maybe not!" Cerberus said. "In fact, the Thebes Prison is near Helcrown …"
"Helcrown? Mundus's Helcrown City? "Roy asked.
"Yes!" Cerberus nodded. "Be careful.
If you want to break in and rescue Sparda, it's very likely to alarm the demons in Helcrown City.
Although Sparda sealed His Majesty Mundus back then, it's very likely to alarm the demons in Helcrown City.
But after so many years?
The power of the seal was weakening. His Majesty Mundus had once broken through the seal. It was also that time?
It was that time that he launched a war of revenge against Sparda … "
Dante and the others listened carefully. What Cerberus said immediately evoked their memories. If they were not wrong, the time Mundus broke through the seal to take revenge was the time that caused Dante's family to fall apart decades ago. It was also after that time that Dante's mother, Eva, died, and their father, Sparda, disappeared.
Perhaps it was at that time that Sparda was captured …
"Are the guards of Helcrown City very strong?" Dante suddenly interjected.
"They're all legions made up of high-rank demons!" Cerberus said. "But this isn't the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that rescuing Sparda is very likely to cause Mundus to awaken."
"No, that's not right!" Dante shook his head. "Mundus isn't in Helcrown City, right? Many years ago, Trish and I entered Mundus's demon palace on the island where saints and demons mingle. At that time, Trish and I worked together to seal him again! (Devil May Cry 1) "
"Hmph, do you really think you encountered His Majesty Mundus's demon palace? Is the one you sealed really His Majesty Mundus? " Cerberus's three heads snorted coldly. "Even your father, Sparda, paid a huge price to seal His Majesty Mundus back then. What makes you think you can seal His Majesty Mundus's main body again?"
"That should be a clone or a projection, right?" Roy continued the topic. "Although I also think that if Mundus is really at the demon king level, then it's very strange for a demon lord like Sparda to seal him, just as Cerberus said, he should be very powerful. With your current strength, you can't defeat me, let alone Mundus's true body! So, what you encountered is very likely just a clone of Mundus. "
"… Maybe!" Dante was silent for a moment before nodding.
Roy turned around and asked Cerberus, "You've been in the Demon World for so long. Have you seen Mundus himself?"
"No!" Cerberus shook her head. "In fact, not to mention me, there aren't many people in the entire Demon World who have seen His Majesty Mundus's true body. Sparda is only one of them … In the legends of the Demon World, His Majesty Mundus suddenly appeared in the Demon World. It is said that he is a white demon who relied on extremely terrifying power to conquer the entire Demon World! But he rarely appears in front of demons and is very mysterious! "
"White demon?" Roy looked at Benia in confusion and asked, "Among demons, which race of demons are white?"
"No!" Benia shook her head straightforwardly. "I've never heard of it. Even mutated demons have never had white skin. White is an ominous color for demons. Once such demons are born, they will be killed by other demons the moment they hatch!"
"Strange. Can the demons of the Demon World tolerate Mundus ruling here?" Roy asked Cerberus.
Cerberus was a little confused when she heard this. "I … I don't know, but the demons here feel that it's normal to be ruled by Mundus …"
"There's something wrong with this Mundus!" Roy said firmly. "Regardless of whether he's a demon lord or a demon king, I've never heard of a ruler who doesn't appear in front of demons and only hides behind the scenes to control them …"
"Darling, what do you think is going on?" Benia asked Roy.
"… It's hard to say now!" Roy shook his head and asked Cerberus, "What I find most strange is, where are the angels of this world? Since there are so many demons, it doesn't make sense that angels won't appear here, right? "
"Angels? It's a word from a long time ago … "While thinking, Cerberus turned her head to look at Julia." Actually, I'm not too sure what's going on. In the past three thousand years, when I came to the Demon World from the Abyss, I've never seen any angels. At that time, I felt quite happy. Without the obstruction of angels, this is a true paradise for demons … "
Julia interrupted and asked, "Cerberus, before the connection between this place and the Abyss was severed, Demon King Samael once descended here. Do you know about this?"
"His Majesty Samael?" Cerberus immediately felt deep veneration, but she shook her head. "No, I don't know. I've never sensed such a powerful aura descend. Perhaps it's something from a long time ago. I need to find a demon who has been in the Demon World for a longer time and ask."
Julia and Roy looked at each other.
Samael never came? How is this possible? It's impossible for Julia to have made a mistake in her memories of birth, right?
Julia remembered her age very clearly. She was more than two thousand years old. Even if there was a difference in the flow of time between the Darksiders world and the Devil May Cry world, this difference would not be too big. In other words, it should be between two thousand and three thousand years.
She remembered that after Samael came to this world, he found that a demon king was ruling here, so he retreated and left. Logically speaking, when Samael appeared, he would definitely attract the attention of demons. But Cerberus said that she had never felt a demon king-level demon descend at all. Moreover, she said that angels could no longer be seen in this world at that time … Then where did the angel soul Samael used to create Julia come from?
Unless … unless Samael hid his aura at that time? Then why did he hide it? Has he met Mundus?
He felt that many things were in a fog and could not be seen clearly at all. Even with Cerberus here, she could not solve it for the time being.
Perhaps only by seeing Sparda or Mundus himself would he know …
"Is Mundus still in the seal?" Roy asked Cerberus. "This is a situation that must be confirmed."
"Yes!" Cerberus confirmed. "When Sparda fought His Majesty Mundus, I don't know what method he used to seal His Majesty Mundus. Although the power of the seal has weakened, it hasn't truly disappeared. Otherwise, if His Majesty Mundus really escaped, the first thing he would do would be to order the demon army to completely destroy the entire human world!"
"Yes, as long as he's still in the seal, there's no need to be afraid of him!" Roy nodded. He now had such confidence.
While the few of them were talking, Rafaro had been flying forward. At this moment, he could already see a fiery red rift valley in the distance on the pitch-black land. That was the Despair Prison that Cerberus had mentioned, the lair of the whip demons!
