Custom Made Demon King - Chapter 154

Chapter 154: Chaos Power?

“Lilith? The first succubus?” Roy pondered and asked, “Apart from her, are there any other demon kings in this world?”

“No!” Julia shook her head. “In this world, only His Majesty Samael and Mother Lilith are leading.”

“Then, let me reject your proposal!” Roy said expressionlessly. “I won’t go with you to find Lilith to rescue Samael!”

“W-why?!” Julia immediately became anxious. “After finding Mother Lilith, she can handle it. We only need to tell her the news, and we won’t need to do anything. Why are you unwilling?”

“That’s not what I mean!” Roy shook his head. “Julia, think about it carefully. The Destroyer’s aura of depravation means that a demon must have tempted and transformed him. Is an ordinary demon capable of doing that to such a powerful force like the Destroyer?”

Julia was stunned. “You… You mean…?”

“It can only be another demon king who can create that kind of demon king-level power!” Roy said. “You said it yourself that only Samael and Lilith have the power of demon kings in this world. And if Samael didn’t create the Destroyer, then who was it?”

Julia did not dare to say a word.

“It’s understandable that you want to save Samael!” Roy was not much concerned as he continued, “But it’s not a good method to rashly ask for help everywhere like this. Have you thought about it? If Lilith had tempted the Destroyer into falling, thereby creating him, wouldn’t you be just like a fool if you went to find Lilith so recklessly?”

What Roy said to Julia all came from his intuition. His intuition told him that Samael’s defeat was too strange. One of the most ancient demons in the Abyss, an incarnation of a Deadly Sin Demon King, could not defeat the Destroyer, a newly-born demon king, but was instead sealed. How could anyone not find this unbelievable?

Therefore, Roy had reason to believe that this was probably a play directed by Samael and Lilith. They were just playing a game of chess!

The more ancient a demon, the higher the intelligence, and you definitely could not simply perceive them from the surface. And Samael was such an ancient demon. His true goal was probably not on the side of Heaven, so who was he plotting against in this game of chess?

In this world, besides the third-party Charred Council, was there something else worth him scheming against?

In Roy’s opinion, the Charred Council, which could force Heaven and the Abyss to stop fighting and sign a contract, was like a fishbone stuck in the throat to demons. They absolutely wanted to get rid of it quickly! This might be the case for Heaven as well. No one wanted to have another mother-in-law managing them…

In order to destroy the Charred Council, he had to remove the most powerful force of the council, and the most powerful force of the council was nothing other than the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse, right?

Recalling the inexplicable appearance of War, one of the Horsemen, in the End War, Roy felt that this might have been Samael’s scheme. His goal was to turn the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the Charred Council against each other in order to dissolve the power of the council…

Of course, the latter part was just Roy’s vague guess for now, and he did not tell Julia. But he had already made up his mind not to participate in it.

Julia loyally wanted to remove Samael’s seal, but what if Samael being sealed was part of his plan? If she acted rashly like this, it might instead destroy Samael’s plan. At that time, it was very likely that she would not be rewarded but punished instead!

In fact, Julia was not stupid. She was just shocked by Samael’s defeat and could not think straight. After Roy analyzed it for her from the perspective of a bystander, she immediately reacted.

Seeing that she was silent, Roy said, “So, you should recuperate first!”

Of course, with that said, Roy was still a little regretful. He felt that it was just a pity for his merit. Julia had said that she would apply for merit from Samael to reward him. But now that Samael was sealed, he probably had no hope for this merit for the time being. Roy had used up all his souls to exchange for the Cold Winter Armor. It would have been better if he could use the merit to make up for some souls, but he could only continue collecting them himself now.

Over the next few days, Roy did not go anywhere. He stayed on top of the building and waited for Julia to recuperate.

And during this time, Roy learned a lot from his conversations with Julia.

Before Julia was transformed into a fallen angel, she should have been an original angel, which was an angel born naturally and not a product of those artificial creations of Heaven. Her memories as an angel had indeed disappeared, but from what Samael had once told her, she learned that after her defeat, Samael had brought her soul and body back to the Abyss.

Therefore, Julia was actually a fallen angel with relatively high potential. Even if she was transformed, she could still improve her strength in the future, unlike artificial angels or fallen angels whose badly damaged bodies were created again and had almost fixed abilities after transformation.

However, because fallen angels were not like demons, who were innately obsessed with hunting souls, the increase in Julia’s strength had always been relatively slow. She had been by Samael’s side for more than eighty years, but she was only slightly stronger than when she had just transformed. Moreover, she was better at skill-based combat and was not that good at increasing her absolute strength.

She told Roy that she had been by Samael’s side for more than eighty years, and she could feel that Samael had always been faintly anxious.

As for what Samael was anxious about, Julia felt that it might be related to ‘depravation’!

The ‘depravation’ she mentioned referred to a very special phenomenon, and it should be a kind of… power!

She told Roy that there were many alternate space bubbles in this world, surrounding the center human world, such as the alternate spaces where the Abyss Outpost and the White City of Heaven were. There were many different alternate spaces. Demon King Samael had such an alternate space, which was called the Black Stone. In this space, there was a demon king city, which was Samael’s true residence.

However, many years ago, a huge black hole fissure had appeared in this alternate space. This black hole fissure hung high in the sky of the Black Stone, continuously spinning slowly and attracting the matter on the ground bit by bit.

This black hole could devour all power. Even a demon king like Samael could do nothing about this black hole. Julia had followed Samael for more than eighty years, and the devouring of the black hole had already spread to the Black Stone. The Black Stone was now slowly disappearing, and nearly half of the demon king city had already turned into countless fragments that were devoured by the black hole.

Moreover, according to Samael, this black hole had not only appeared on the Black Stone but also in some other spaces.

In other words, as time passed, this black hole would not only devour all the alternate spaces, but even the human world would not be spared. In the end, the entire world here would be devoured and turn into nothingness!

And Samael’s anxiety might have come from this…

As Julia was chattering about these things, Roy did not pay much attention at first, but when he heard the latter part, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

A black hole that devours everything? Turning into nothingness? Why does this scene sound so familiar?

F*ck! Isn’t this the Void?! Sargeras of the Pantheon, don’t tell me he’s here?!

Roy’s eyelids kept twitching. He had thought that since he was a demon of the Abyss, he might really be able to find the Warcraft world one day, but he never thought that he would discover the same void power that had swallowed thousands of worlds from the Warcraft world in this Darksiders world!

Although Julia and Samael called this power ‘depravation’ here, judging from the nature of the power described by Julia, it was probably the power of the void!

“Is this thing really impossible to stop?” Roy could not help asking.

“I don’t know!” Julia said. “But I heard from His Majesty Samael that Mother Lilith seems to be working on a plan. If she can succeed, there may be a way to resist the power of ‘depravation’…”

“Did he say what the plan was?” Roy asked.

Julia frowned and thought for a while before replying with uncertainty, “It seems… His Majesty once mentioned the term chaos demon…”

“Chaos demon?” Roy chewed on the term. He suddenly thought of something, and a word suddenly popped out. “Nephilim?!”

He finally remembered! It seemed like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were nephilim, a special race created by combining angel and demon!

And the one who created this race seemed to be the Mother Lilith that Julia had mentioned! Lilith, who was known as the Mad Queen of Hell!

In the past, when he was serving as an execution demon and hunting down the illusion demon César, Roy knew that the bloodlines of demon and human could be combined, and the products of the combination were half-human half-demon bodies. In addition to being able to remain in a world forever, half-human half-demon bodies could also obtain incomparably powerful strength.

And now, through what Julia had said, Roy found that there was something even crazier than creating a demon-human. That was to combine the angel and demon bloodlines to create half-angel half-demons… And such a race also had incomparably powerful strength! The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were proof!

Hmm… Right, there’s also the Diablo world. Those so-called nephalem are also said to have the half-angel half-demon bloodline. Are they also the same race as the nephilim?

Can the light power of angels and the dark power of demons really merge? Looks like there’s no need to ask further about this. After going mad, Lilith has already succeeded, and that was the nephilim race!

Be it the nephilim or fallen angels like Julia, all of them were vaguely alluding to the fact that even completely opposite powers could be combined…

This made Roy think of himself. When he was awakening his bloodline, this kind of mutation happened. The power of darkness and the power of frost completely fused, but the system had warned him to pay attention to his bloodline power and not to mess around.

Roy was only now gradually recalling this reminder. The system only told him that it was risky, but it did not tell him that it was impossible!

In other words, as long as Roy dared to take this risk, it was actually possible for him to fuse with other powers, not just purely the powers of darkness and frost… If that was the case, then was a demon that fused all the elemental powers the chaos demon that Lilith was researching?
