Chapter 515 - 515: Future Fragment?

It was because the first figure that popped into his mind was Sargeras.

If Trag’Oul, whom Mephisto called a world-soul titan, was really a titan on the same level as Sargeras, then it would really be troublesome.

But then Roy returned to his senses and asked curiously, “Mephisto, you know about world-soul titans?”

Yes, this was what Roy found strange. After all, the name world-soul titan should be from the Warcraft world. Other worlds shouldn’t have such a name. Had Mephisto been to the Warcraft world?

“Of course!” Mephisto smiled strangely and bowed slightly to Roy. “Young Demon King Osiris, the one in front of you now is one of the oldest demons of the Abyss. My knowledge is more extensive than you can imagine.”

Roy nodded. This was true. When he was still in the Abyss, Benia had told him that Mephisto should be the first great demon king to appear after the Seven Deadly Sin Demon Kings. In other words, his history was second only to Lucifer, Beelzebub, and the others.

“In fact, you might not know that demons originally named the term world-soul titan!” Mephisto continued. “Because of our nature, demons are more willing to explore the Infinite Worlds than angels. Through the random teleportation of Gates of the Abyss, demons are often the first to arrive in some unknown worlds, and angels are the ones chasing after demons! In billions of years of exploration, demons have discovered that some ancient planets will give birth to powerful planetary consciousnesses. When these planetary consciousnesses awaken, they often turn into enormous and powerful life forms, so they are called world-soul titans. These world-soul titans seem to be the third children created by the Creator apart from angels and demons. They are the true titans, and they are even more powerful than angels and demons, so demons rarely provoke them…

“Fortunately, the number of world-soul titans is even fewer than imagined. In the Infinite Worlds connected to the Gates of the Abyss, there are very few traces of world-soul titans. Instead, the titans living on the surface exist in many worlds. Although these titans are also called titans, their strength is nothing compared to that of true titans.

“We didn’t expect Sanctuary to give birth to a world -soul titan!” Mephisto sighed. “This is clearly just an artificial world, and its history is very short, but a world-soul titan appeared. This is too unexpected! So at first, we didn’t think about it. But as we observed, we found that this fellow is indeed an existence like a world-soul titan!”

“Like? So you’re not sure?” Roy asked.

“Yes, Trag’Oul is hiding in a gap between Sanctuary and the Purgatory Space.

For so many years, he has rarely appeared in this world and has hidden very well!” Mephisto said hatefully. “This fellow claims to be the Guardian of Sanctuary. When Inarius and Lilith created Sanctuary, they hid it from the High Heavens and the Burning Hells. After Lilith and Inarius were exiled, Sanctuary was almost exposed to Heaven and Hell. But Trag’Oul actually took action at this time and wrapped his body around Sanctuary to continue to hide it! So when we discovered the existence of Sanctuary, this world had already existed for a long time…”

. Hmm, the Book of Rathma mentioned that Trag’Oul is a long dragon formed by the connections of stars. Will world-soul titans also incarnate into this appearance?” Roy asked thoughtfully.

“Do you think all world-soul titans are humanoid?” Mephisto asked Roy in amusement. “The meaning of ‘titan’ refers to being incomparably huge, and world-soul titans can look like anything!”

Hearing this, Roy suddenly thought of Urgash and Asha in the Ashan world. These two dragon gods were huge enough to wrap around the entire planet, so were they also world-soul titans? After all, they both had the power of creation, which was very similar to world -soul titans.

If so, then the world of Ashan was really special. Asha and Urgash were like two world-soul titans born on the same planet at the same time. They were twins among the world-soul titans… The Pantheon would be ecstatic…

Unfortunately, Roy was only guessing now, Urgash had already become a Void Lord, and Void power had completely devoured Ashan. It was already impossible to investigate everything about this world.

Looking at Roy’s thoughtful expression, Mephisto thought that he was worried that the power of the world-soul titan Trag’Oul would hinder him, so he said, “But you don’t have to pay too much attention to his existence. Although Trag’Oul might be a world-soul titan, he doesn’t seem to have completely awakened!”

“Oh? Why do you say that?” Roy asked.

“A truly awakened world-soul titan will give birth to a true body in the material world!” Mephisto said. “In the Book of Rathma, the description of Trag’Oul by the necromancers, in my opinion, seems to be a sign that he hasn’t fully awakened. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have used the term ‘dragon made of stars’ to describe him. He should still be ideological. After all, the time he’s slept for is too short, so he’s a world-soul titan with congenital deficiencies… I suspect that this is also the real reason why he can’t appear in front of the world—it’s not that he doesn’t want to, but he can’t!”

“Yes, indeed. It sounds like he’s deliberately avoiding angels and demons!” Roy nodded in agreement. “From his desperate attempt to hide Sanctuary, I can see some clues.”

“So you don’t have to worry too much about him. This fellow is just a charlatan!” Mephisto sneered. “His mouth is full of rhetoric about guarding the balance, and so are the necromancers who believe in him. They believe in protecting the balance. But in my opinion, this doctrine is not only an excuse for Trag’Oul to promote his existence but also a manifestation of his lack of confidence. Because both angels and demons have the idea of destroying Sanctuary, and Sanctuary is his residence, once it’s destroyed, it means that

Trag’Oul can no longer survive…”

“Understood. So he keeps promoting the concept of balance because he wants to continue the Eternal Conflict between angels and demons!” Roy nodded. “If the war continues for tens of thousands of years, he can completely grow from Sanctuary and wake up. At that time, he won’t be afraid of anyone.”

“That’s right!” Mephisto nodded in agreement. “In order to achieve his goal, this fellow is unscrupulous. He used the son of Inarius and Lilith, Linarian! He was the first generation, or rather, the first nephalem of Sanctuary! Hehehe, this poor child. His relationship with his parents was extremely bad because his mother slaughtered the renegade angels and demons just to force Inarius to give up the idea of ruling humans and let her use the power of the nephalem as weapons for her own benefit.”

“While Linarion was confused, Trag’Oul found him and taught him about death, making him the first necromancer in this world. He also bewitched him into thinking that the nephalem should be independent and didn’t need to attach themselves to angels or demons. They only needed to believe in the path of balance to do this.

“Linarian believed him and no longer admitted that he was the son of Inarius and Lilith. He even changed his name and called himself Rathma… However, what’s laughable is that because of practicing the power of death, Rathma and his believers all turned pale. Necromancers also became very different from other nephalem. They couldn’t live among ordinary people because other nephalem always looked at them with distrust! Their way of balance was only spread in a small area.

Roy said, “Unfortunately, because of the existence of demons, although the nephalem hate these necromancers, they still accepted them in order to fight against demons, right?”

“Indeed. So Osiris, this is also a breakthrough!” Mephisto laughed strangely. “If possible, I really want to see necromancers and their compatriots fighting among themselves. Although they’re always fighting among themselves, necromancers are believers of Trag’Oul. Once this heritage declines, the existence of Trag’Oul will become even more unknown.”

“I understand!” Roy nodded. This exchange with Mephisto made him realize that although he needed to be vigilant of Trag’Oul, he didn’t need to think too highly of him. His only spokesperson in the material world was the necromancers. Perhaps he would cause trouble, but he probably wouldn’t cause too much trouble.

“That’s right. Compared to Trag’Oul, I think what you should really worry about is Lilith!” Mephisto said solemnly. “This is the second thing I want to say. From the long river of time, I have seen some fragmented fragments of the future. In these fragments, Lilith has returned!”

“Slow down, slow down!” Roy waved his hand. “In the many legends of this world, isn’t Lilith your daughter? As a father, are you still afraid of your daughter?”

Mephisto’s ugly monster face revealed an expression of rolling his eyes. “Damn it. Osiris, why do you believe those human legends? Who told you that Lilith is my daughter? I don’t have the ability to be Lilith’s father! Or rather, besides the Creator, no one dares to be Lilith’s elder!”

Then Mephisto explained, “Back then, I only brought Lilith to this world, and what I brought was only a clone of hers. She asked to come to this world because she needed a testing ground…”

“To test what?” Roy asked with a frown.

“Nothing is certain.” Mephisto spread his hands. “She has always been mysterious, so how can I know what she wants? Originally, after she and Inarius got married and gave birth to the nephalem, my brothers and I thought that her experiment was to create a hybrid race of angels and demons. After all, she’s a demoness and has the need to reproduce. Although this need is a little unconventional, it’s not too strange. But we later found that even the nephalem aren’t what she really wants.”

“What do you mean?” Roy’s heart stirred when he heard this, and he quickly continued asking.

“After creating the nephalem, Lilith indeed cared for them at first. In order to protect her children, she didn’t hesitate to eliminate all the renegade angels and demons hiding in Sanctuary at the time. It was precisely because of this that she turned against Inarius… The conflict between the two started as an argument, but it soon turned into a great fight. Because he controlled the Worldstone, Inarius exiled Lilith—note, exiled! Not defeated because Inarius actually couldn’t defeat Lilith. Her strength exceeded everyone’s imagination, even though she was only a clone…

“But there’s also a rumor that the reason why Inarius and Lilith really turned against each other was that Lilith threatened Inarius’s rule because she actually wanted to use the power of the nephalem, but Inaris thought of himself as the true king of Sanctuary!”

Mephisto concluded, “No matter what the reason is, it can be said that nephalem are not what Lilith really wants. Her true purpose in coming to this world is probably not only this. This mysterious woman hides secrets that even we can’t see through…”

Roy didn’t say anything, but he already had a judgment in his heart. What Lilith pursued was indeed not the nephalem, a hybrid of angels and demons, but to search for Chaos power!

The simple combination of light and darkness was not Chaos power. This was something Roy was completely certain of. But he had made this judgment by combining his experiences and many cognitions. Lilith, who could only explore step by step from the beginning, definitely didn’t know.

Therefore, the nephalem might only be an attempt on her part. This also explained why Lilith was more protective of the nephalem in the beginning. It was because she had expectations for them. But perhaps after discovering that the nephalem couldn’t reach her expectations, she gradually became only interested in using their power. This was a psychological change from her ‘own children’ to ‘tools’.

In other words, Lilith’s experiment in this world had failed.

Moreover, as far as Roy knew, Lilith had clones in many worlds, and these clones were all trying the same thing. At least in the Darksiders world, Lilith was the same. But in the Darksiders world, she had used the corpses of angels and demons for experiments (this could be regarded as a genetic experiment) and didn’t choose to have children with an angel. Therefore, the nephilim (nephalem) in the Darksiders world only regarded Lilith as their nominal mother.

Roy understood. He roughly guessed Lilith’s true goal. What she needed was a powerful force that was enough for her to deal with the threat of Void corrosion.

So, why did she want to resist Void corrosion? It couldn’t be to save the Infinite Worlds, right?

Therefore, Roy had a bold guess. Lilith might want to go to the depths of the Void to find something…

Connecting it to the Deadly Sin Demon Kings in the Abyss—Lucifer, Beelzebub, Berial, and the others—they seemed to only have a few sporadic clones left. Their true bodies had long disappeared. So had their main bodies gone to the depths of the Void as Roy had guessed?

Or could it be that they had already perished because they lacked the power to resist the Void? Was that why Lilith had learned from their lesson and was looking for a way to resist the Void?

Roy’s thoughts were in a mess, and he quickly expelled these inexplicable thoughts. Regardless of whether his guess was right or not, these thoughts interfered too much with him.

Turning around, Roy asked Mephisto, “Can you see fragments of the future from the long river of time?

“I can see some, but I can’t see the cause and effect connections! Otherwise, how could my brothers and I have suffered so much in this world?” Mephisto admitted straightforwardly. “It’s the same this time. I saw Lilith’s return in the future.”

“Did you tell me to be careful of her because she’ll attack angels and demons after returning?” Roy asked with a frown.

“That’s for sure. She eliminated all the demons in Sanctuary back then!” Mephisto said with certainty. “So it’s hard to guarantee she won’t attack demons like us after she returns. You have to know that this woman doesn’t have any concept of the same race!

“That’s all. It’s time for me to leave! Young Demon King Osiris, it won’t be long before my brothers and I regain our strength. At that time, we will fight alongside you and completely destroy the High Heavens and kill all the angels here! The Eternal Conflict of this world will finally end in your hands. I can guarantee that your bravery will spread throughout the entire Abyss…”

As Mephisto spoke, his figure slowly faded away and finally disappeared from the hall.

Roy watched him leave. After Mephisto completely disappeared, Roy clenched the demon claw on his right hand. Under the powerful force, the air in his palm made a loud explosion, and his entire face collapsed.

Damn old demon. He still didn’t tell the truth in the end! Roy snorted coldly.

What this bastard Mephisto said is ninety percent true and ten percent false. Roy was certain that what he said about the return of Trag’Oul and Lilith was true, but he hid one thing—Lilith’s strength after she returned!

Mephisto was afraid of Lilith. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have told Roy to be careful of her. In other words, not only did he see her return in the future, but he also saw her powerful strength. If he guessed more boldly, Mephisto even saw himself die in Lilith’s hands!

As a demon who had come into contact with Void power several times, Roy didn’t believe that Lilith would return safe and sound after being exiled to the Void…

Her clone might have been corroded by Void power like Urgash!

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Lilith became unstoppable, and Mephisto might have seen Roy in the future. This was the real reason why he had appeared and invited Roy to this Sanctuary world!

He either wanted Roy to resolve this disaster that might involve the seven demon kings, or he wanted Roy to be his shield! It had to be known that the seven demon kings were currently hiding in the Burning Hells, and Roy was the only demon king in Sanctuary. After Lilith returned, she would definitely vent her anger from being exiled for countless years. Be it angels or demons, she would vent her anger on them, and Roy, the only demon king on the ground, was the best shield for the Burning Hells!

You want to trick me? It’s not that easy! Roy sneered. Mephisto might not know that he had seen Lilith’s other clones in other worlds. He and Lilith had a connection that Mephisto couldn’t understand!

If Lilith’s clones shared memories and thoughts like Mephisto’s, then she would immediately understand after seeing Roy.

Of course, Roy’s appearance had already changed, but it didn’t matter. The Red Sea Egg he brought was the greatest token!

Come on. I can’t wait for Lilith to return as soon as possible. I came just in time for the grandest banquet between angels, demons, and humans!

Boundless darkness filled the entire demon king palace, and Roy’s power spread wantonly.. In this lightless world, only his dark red demon eyes were left, shining with intense light in the darkness…
