Because they did not know what the situation was on the other side of the passage, Roy and Sparda did not rashly follow in.
After all, an ancient angel had come out of the passage earlier. If this passage connected to Heaven, then if Roy and Sparda barged in like this, they would really be poking a hornet's nest.
"How long can this passage exist?" Roy asked.
"Don't worry. It'll exist for a long time!" Sparda put his sword behind his back. "It'll exist for about ten years. Then it'll disappear for a period of time as the two twin worlds move away. When the two worlds get close next time, it'll appear again. But the location of the passage might not be here."
"That's good!" Roy put away Frostmourne and spread his hands. "Now, we need to study what to do next."
"Mundus must die! In the worst case scenario, we have to seal him for another few thousand years! " Sparda said worriedly. "This isn't because of the grudge between him and me, but because I have a bad premonition. The cooperation between Mundus and Balder is very likely to lead to a huge disaster in the two worlds."
"The Eternal War?" Roy asked.
"Maybe it's not just the Eternal War …" Sparda pondered. "Let me tell you this. At first, I sneaked back to the Demon World with the intention of finding Mundus for revenge. But after coming to the Demon World, I found that Mundus was sending his subordinates everywhere to search for the spatial passage to the twin worlds. Thinking about how Mundus disappeared from the Demon World for a period of time more than two thousand years ago, I realized that Mundus had been to the twin worlds. He might have had something that I don't know about with some powerful existences on the other side. Later, I sealed him and he couldn't leave the Demon World, so he hasn't been able to go to the opposite world for more than two thousand years. Now, on the eve of his seal being lifted, he ordered people to search for the spatial passage with such great fanfare. He definitely wants to go to the other side again or contact the other side …"
Roy nodded. This inference was very reasonable.
"Back then, the demons won the battle between angels and demons in this world, and we occupied this world. When the angels retreated, they found the twin worlds on the other side and stationed themselves there. Therefore, the demons occupied one side of the twin worlds, and the angels occupied the other side …" Sparda recalled. "After the angels retreated, due to the existence of the spatial passage, although there were no large-scale wars between the two sides, there were still sporadic battles. Especially after human civilization began to develop in the world over there, these sporadic battles became more frequent. But most of the time, it was the demons on this side who were summoned to the other side. These summoned demons were often the more powerful demons in the Demon World. Some of them returned alive, and some were purified and killed in battles with angels."
At this moment, Dante, Vergil, Nero, Julia, Benia, Sareth, Cassandra, Fat Tiger, Cerberus, and the others had already rushed back. They gathered around and quietly listened to the conversation between the Legendary demon swordsman and Roy. Hearing this, Sareth could not help but interrupt. "So that's how it is. No wonder when I was wondering why there were no angels in this world, Dante told me that the angels of this world had gone to another world … I thought he was saying that the angels were all dead …"
Dante laughed and rubbed Sareth's red hair hard, causing Sareth to kick his calf.
Sparda nodded and said to Sareth, "Yes, I mentioned it to Dante and Vergil when I was young. I didn't expect them to still remember …"
"The ones who summoned the demons were the Umbra Witches you mentioned, right?" Roy asked as he rubbed his chin with his demon claws.
"Yes!" Sparda nodded. "I once responded to the summons and went to the world over there once. Different from the human world here, there has always been a theory about the trinity of light, the human world, and darkness. Light refers to the Heaven established by the retreating angels, the human world refers to the main world where the two humans live on both sides, and darkness refers to the Demon World on our side. They even built a world model for this. This trinity theory is very popular, but in fact, the humans over there have never seen this world with their own eyes. This trinity theory is actually an idea brought over by the retreating angels. They are spreading the teachings of holy light and creation over there."
"Spreading teachings? Like the ancient angels? It should be very difficult for them to spread their teachings, right? "Roy guessed." Indeed.
You've seen the appearance of ancient angels before. In fact, the so-called ancient angels aren't as benevolent and holy as the legends of some worlds say. Because in the beginning, these ancient angels were born in the war with demons, so their appearances and appearances evolved to adapt to the cruel needs of war. Among these ancient angels, there are even appearances like ancient four-wheeled chariots. Don't be surprised when you see them in the future … "
"Hmm … I understand!" Roy nodded. "In ancient times, humans had yet to be born, so angels naturally couldn't spread the faith of holy light, so they didn't need to take into account the aesthetic needs of humans. Is that what you mean?"
"That's right. That kind of handsome angels are considered the new generation of angels, including demons. How can ancient demons look like this now? At that time, ancient demons looked like goat-like animals, or rather, ferocious beasts … "Sparda pointed at Roy." You look like a new generation demon, and insect-type demons like me are usually between ancient demons and new generation demons. I'm considered a demon in the transitional stage. "
The so-called ancient angels and ancient demons did not refer to their age but to their species. Even if an angel or demon was born in recent years, if their appearance and appearance were the same as ancient angels and ancient demons, they were still considered ancient angels and ancient demons.
"Do demons also need to spread teachings?" Roy asked curiously.
"Of course. Don't you know?" Sparda pointed at himself. "I'm an example!"
Roy immediately remembered. Wasn't that right? In the human world here, Sparda was worshipped as a savior. Worshipping a demon as a god was naturally considered spreading faith.
In fact, it was not just that. Demon worship could be said to be common in the human world now. The reasons for this phenomenon were very complicated, and explaining it was very cumbersome. But no matter what, this was a trend or the general trend.
"There shouldn't be many ancient angels and ancient demons left now, right?" Roy asked.
"Yes, it can even be said to be very rare!" Sparda nodded. "It's precisely because these ancient angels were born for the needs of war that their methods are different from the new-generation angels. They stress on the prosperity of those who obey and perish against, and they're very radical. This has caused their missionary work in the opposite world to be very unsuccessful, and they can only rely on the people of light, which is the Lumen Sages, to help them expand their influence … And because of the radical methods of the ancient angels, it caused the people of darkness, which is the Umbra Witches, to always resist them.
"The Umbra Witches summon demons from the Demon World and use the power of demons to fight the Lumen Sages and angels!" Sparda explained. "It's precisely because of the resistance of the Witches that they maintain the balance between light and darkness in that world that the angels hate them. So a long time ago, they had been instigating human believers to hunt the Witches. After all, although ancient angels are ugly, the warmth of holy light power is still attractive to humans …"
"Balder, you said that he's the last Lumen Sage. What's going on?" Roy asked.
"It was probably a few hundred years ago. At that time, I was still wandering around the human world and the Demon World, and it just so happened that I went to the opposite world," Sparda said. "After that time, I happened to personally experience the biggest war between the Lumen Sages and the Umbra Witches. I'm not too sure about the cause of this war, but in that war, the Witches won by luck, and the Lumen Sages lost. Only one ancient was left, and that was Balder. He was the wielder of the 'Right Eye of Light' among the Lumen Sages!"
"Right Eye of Light? What's that? "
"It's … a divine artifact!" Sparda deliberated over his words and answered. "Corresponding to it is the 'Left Eye of Darkness'! These two things came from a very powerful Archangel, Aesir, on the side of Heaven in the Primordial War! "
"Archangel?!" Roy was shocked and gasped. "You mean, there's an Archangel-level existence in the opposite world?"
Julia, Benia, and the others were also a little frightened when they heard this. Fortunately, they did not rashly chase after him …
"Don't worry. Listen to me slowly!" Sparda waved his hand. "The history of the Eternal War in these two twin worlds is far longer than you know. Do you really think that the Eternal War here is just a group of demon lords fighting for thousands of years?"
"Okay, I won't interrupt. Continue!" Roy spread his hands helplessly.
"The Primordial War refers to the period of time about ten thousand years ago. If we go back further, it might be about the same time. In other words, it's probably more than twenty thousand years ago!" Sparda said. "Demons don't have the habit of recording history, so many demons in the Demon World don't know what happened during that period of time … In the Primordial War, the strongest force on the angel side was Archangel Aesir! Although his name isn't as resounding and sung by the world as Archangels like Gabriel and Michael, he has powerful strength on par with Gabriel and Michael! "
"How many wings does this Archangel Aesir you're talking about have?" Roy suddenly asked.
"Six-Winged, why are you asking this?" Sparda asked curiously.
"It's nothing. Continue!" Roy did not explain and shook his head, indicating for him to continue. But he could not help but think that Sparda said that Aesir's strength was not weaker than Gabriel and the others. He should be referring to the demon king-level clones of Gabriel and the others …
Now that Roy understood the true situation of the clones, he knew that, just like the demons, there should be another level above Archangel in the angel camp, which corresponded to the Deadly Sin Demon King level of the demon camp. Roy did not know what to call it for the time being, but since this Archangel Aesir was six-winged, there was a high chance that it was only corresponding to the demon king level.
Because … the Gabriel and Raphael that Roy had encountered so far were all six-winged clones, and the strength of these clones was at the demon king level …
Sparda did not know what Roy was thinking. He continued, "The strongest force on the angels' side is Aesir, and the strongest force on the demons' side is someone called Argosax. He's an equally powerful golden demon! And Argosax was the ruler of all demons at that time! Mundus can only be considered a second-generation ruler … "
Second-generation ruler? So Mundus is a second-generation leader?
