Chapter 187 Roy’s Ambition

Chapter 187 Roy’s Ambition

After Julia used her fallen angelic sword to open the spatial gate of the Black Stone once again, Roy and Julia returned to the main world.

Due to the different flow rates of time, despite Roy and Julia having stayed in the Black Stone for several hours, only an hour had passed in the main world.

They flew out of the volcanic crater and into the air. When they returned, Julia said to Roy, “What should we do regarding the mission Mother Lilith gave us...?”

Lilith had asked Roy to go to the Charred Council to find the so-called Red Sea Egg, but in fact, she had said this to Roy and Julia and handed them the mission. Although Roy and Julia did not show anything unusual, Lilith, as a succubus, could easily smell the mixed smell on them, so of course, she understood their relationship.

Hearing Julia’s question, Roy smiled helplessly. After becoming high-rank demons, although it was a good thing for their strength to increase, it seemed that these demon lord and demon king big shots were beginning to like assigning missions to high-rank demons.

Of course, from another perspective, this was also proof that Roy’s strength had entered the eyes of the big shots. In the human world, this was the appreciation of his boss. But the problem was that the big shots did not seem to like to consider whether Roy had the ability to complete these missions when they assigned them.

The Lord of the Hollows was like this before, and so was Lilith now. They seemed to be measuring the difficulty of the missions based on their own strength. But as a result, when it came to Roy, these missions were clearly beyond the scope of his abilities.

For example, it was like the knowledge that some teachers thought was very simple, but when they taught students and found that the students could not learn it no matter what, they would scold the students. Why are you so stupid? Don’t you know how to solve such a simple question?

Now, Roy was facing this kind of trouble. The Lord of the Hollows wanted him to deal with Demon Lord Abraxis, and now, Lilith wanted Roy to go to the Charred Council to steal some Red Sea Egg. These things were very difficult to accomplish, okay?

Roy could still fool the Lord of the Hollows, this former demon member of the council, but Lilith was troublesome.

When Julia recounted the situation of Samael being sealed, Lilith’s expression did not change, and she did not look surprised. This meant that Roy’s guess was right. Lilith was probably one of the masterminds, and she and Samael were plotting a big game of chess together. In the beginning, it might have been the Horsemen of the Apocalypse who had entered the game and became pawns. But after Lilith gave Roy the mission, it meant that he had become one of the pawns on the board.

However, this time was different from when he was in the Heroes of Might and Magic world. Without the restraint of the demon contract, Roy was not enslaved by Lilith, and it did not matter if she used him as a pawn. After all, Lilith would reward him. This could be considered a transaction. The key was how Roy should plan to profit in this process.

Roy could not guess what Lilith wanted to use him for, and it was also possible that Lilith had only given him this mission casually. It was naturally better for Roy to complete it, but even if he failed, it did not matter to Lilith. But there was no doubt that she would divert a portion of her attention to his actions. Roy could only think of ways to do this to the best of his abilities, and at least he should not delay too long.

After thinking about it, Roy said to Julia, “When Lilith first started, she was always talking about the Charred Council. She even told us that the Charred Council is likely to be corrupted by the Corruption of this world, like the ancient gods corrupted by Void power. Logically speaking, saying this to two high-rank demons is of little use. Even if it was really corrupted, it’s not something we can stop. So, what’s her purpose for saying this?”

“Umm...” Julia pondered for a while and said, “I think she may be trying to spread this matter through us and let others know?”

“Let others know? The Horsemen of the Apocalypse? Indeed, we know Fury. And because we’re helping her deal with the Seven Deadly Sins, we should have a certain degree of credibility in her eyes!” Roy nodded in agreement with Julia’s words. “The Charred Council has been corrupted. If Lilith personally told the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, they would definitely not believe her. The name Mad Queen Lilith has an impression in the eyes of the world. If a demon like her said it, others would first doubt her the moment they heard it...” “Not only Fury but also Death!” Julia said. “You know, Death just went to the Black Stone before us. Lilith must have not said this to Death. Otherwise, even if Death doesn’t believe it, he may have returned to the Charred Council to verify it...”

Roy nodded. “Now that you mention it, I’ll probably have to add the other two Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Don’t forget that War is still imprisoned by the Charred Council at this time, and she wants us to go to the Charred Council Space... As for the last Horsemen, Strife, although we don’t know where he is now, Lilith probably thinks that we might also encounter him...”

“Also, have you forgotten about Black Hammer Ulthane we met earlier? The makers might also be potential listeners...” Julia said.

The two of them added one after the other and slowly guessed Lilith’s intentions. Disseminating remarks about the Charred Council being corrupted would certainly greatly attack its prestige and the pressure it could exert. This further confirmed Roy’s guess that Samael and Lilith’s ultimate goal targeted the Charred Council.

Originally, Heaven was first to initiate this End War, but now that the war was being fought, Roy felt that Heaven was the true tragedy. It had completely fallen into the chess game arranged by the two demon kings. In terms of scheming and machinations, demons were indeed superior...

“In any case, let’s capture the last Seven Deadly Sins first!” Roy said. “As for Lilith’s mission, it’s too risky. We have to plan carefully before acting.”

While flying, Julia was a little hesitant as she asked, “Since Mother Lilith promised to tell you about the nephilim, is it necessary to make a deal with Fury?”

“Of course, it’s necessary!” Roy said solemnly. “Because if it’s impossible, I will give up on going to the Charred Council. Then, the deal with Fury will be the only way I can obtain the secrets of the nephilim. Even if she’s only a second-generation nephilim, and the information I can obtain from her may be very limited, it won’t make me return empty-handed.”

“I understand!” Julia nodded. “However, from the information revealed by Mother Lilith, that Red Sea Egg is probably something very important. Let’s not talk about whether we can obtain it or not, but even if we can obtain it, maybe we’ll have to return it to Mother Lilith. Without the Red Sea Egg, how are you going to experiment? In addition, even if you can use the Red Sea Egg, how are you going to integrate the power of the nephilim into yourself? Don’t forget. It’s said that Mother Lilith created the nephilim from the mingled dust of angels and demons. You can’t possibly let yourself die once before merging, right?”

“I know what your doubt is. Lilith’s experiment created the nephilim and not a demon. You’re worried that after I use this experiment on me, I’ll become another ‘person’!” Roy turned to look at Julia and smiled. “Don’t worry. I already have a preliminary plan for this. Even without the Red Sea Egg, I can still experiment!”

Roy was not stupid. Of course, he could not destroy his body to carry out this experiment. In fact, because he was a cheater with a system, he had never thought of using Lilith’s Red Sea Egg when he first heard about it. To him, he trusted Daddy System more.

In fact, at the very beginning, Roy had wanted to stick his to path and go all the way to the end. The fact that his frost demon bloodline could grow to the high-rank demon level showed that he had a rather powerful bloodline, and his Dark Cold magic power was also a unique variant magic power. It could be said that if he were to dig deeper into frost power to the limit, he would have a place in the Abyss. But Roy now found that it was extremely difficult to reach the peak with a single power, and it was often very easy to be targeted.

For example, the rift demon Vulgrim. Despite not being good at fighting, he was still a high-rank demon. If he really fought Roy, it was hard to say who would win, unless Roy’s frost power was powerful enough that it could freeze Vulgrim in 0.1 seconds without giving him any time to use his magic power. Otherwise, if Vulgrim hid in a Purgatory Space, Roy would immediately be at a loss. It was impossible for him to freeze space too, right? How much frost power would he need?

Moreover, there were magic worlds as well. Roy could create equipment that resisted elemental damage, but would his enemies not understand that? What if he encountered an enemy with ice resistance or frost immunity in the future?

Now, after becoming a high-rank demon, his condensed magic power grew even slower. In this case, making himself more versatile would be beneficial for him to deal with different battle situations in the future. This was why Roy was tirelessly seeking the secrets of the nephilim because only the nephilim, who had fused the angel and demon bloodlines, could understand how to use all elemental powers simultaneously.

It could be said that it was actually a good thing for Roy to come to the Darksiders world because if he wanted to meet a race like the nephilim in the future, he would have to go to the Diablo world... And Roy did not know where the entrance to that world was...
