Custom Made Demon King - Chapter 470

Chapter 470: The Soul of the Goddess?

After hearing Sareth repeat what Rodin said, Roy and Sparda were very surprised.

“Who is this guy?” Roy asked curiously. “How does he know the secret of demon king promotion so clearly?”

“I suspect that this guy might be a demon king-level demon. Otherwise, it’s impossible to explain why he knows this…” Sparda spread his hands. “It seems like the waters of the twin worlds are quite deep…”

Roy caressed his demon horns and said thoughtfully, “Madama Styx and the others know about Demon Rodin. They also said that he used to be an angel, but they don’t know why and for what reason he fell. Heaven doesn’t seem to have any information about his past, as though someone deliberately erased it.”

“Foster Father, can his words be trusted?” Sareth asked.

“It’s hard to say…” Roy deliberated over his words. “If Balder is really plotting for Bayonetta’s Left Eye of Darkness, then what Rodin said should be true. After all, this matter concerns Bayonetta, and his relationship with her isn’t ordinary. He should want to help her solve the problem of the Lumen Sage… But the problem is that I don’t know how trustworthy his words are. From what you’ve described, it was too easy to obtain this information. Rodin didn’t show the shrewdness that a demon should have.”

“Yeah, he didn’t even try to make any transactions. He spilled the beans too easily.” Sareth nodded. “This doesn’t seem like the behavior of a demon…”

“It’s hard to say if it’s true. After all, this guy used to be an angel, so it’s normal for him not to be like ordinary demons…” Sparda pondered. “We only need to consider if there are lies in his words, and what purpose does he want to use these lies to achieve?”

“The greatest possibility is to trick us into going against the so-called Goddess of Light Jubelius and then cause both the demons and angels to suffer losses…” Roy guessed. “From how he’s helped Bayonetta deal with the angels, he doesn’t have any good impression of them. But he’s also plundered demons in the Demon World without restraint, which shows that he hates them as well.”

Sparda nodded. “Indeed, this is the greatest possibility.”

“Foster Father, what should we do next?” Sareth asked blankly.

“We should do whatever we have to do!” Roy grinned sinisterly. “Just attack Heaven directly. If what Rodin said is true, and Balder really wants to resurrect the Goddess of Light Jubileus, then he must come to Heaven.”

“Do you think Dante and the others will end up empty-handed?” Sareth asked.

Roy nodded. “It’s very likely. Now that Heaven and the Demon World are currently at war, Balder definitely won’t be able to use the power of too many angels. He might be confident in dealing with Bayonetta alone, but with Dante and the other two half-demons, that’s not necessarily the case. So as long as he isn’t stupid, he will certainly come to Heaven after discovering the appearance of Bayonetta, Dante, and the others… Moreover, the body of Jubileus is definitely in Heaven. Logically speaking, he will come here.”

Sareth sorted out his thoughts and finally came to a realization. “I understand. Foster Father, what you mean is that Dante and the others happen to be in the human world and will drive Balder and Mundus to Heaven. We only need to wait for them to come, right?”

Roy laughed and stretched out his hand to rub Sareth’s red hair. “Go and join the battle. Such a battle is incomparable for the improvement of your strength and combat experience. You just have to be careful not to fight enemies that are too strong.”

Sareth nodded, took out the scythe Executioner, spread his flame wings, and flew forward. This child was smart. He planned to meet Junia first. With Junia’s protection, he could kill enemies with peace of mind.

After Sareth left, Sparda said worriedly, “If Balder truly intends to synthesize a ‘divine spark’, it’ll be a little troublesome. If Dante and the others can’t stop the synthesis, can the Ouroboros Marks in Mundus’s soul still be stripped out?”

“We’ll see when the time comes. It’s meaningless to consider this in advance. Let’s wait until we really get Mundus’s soul,” Roy said.

Sparda sighed. “Okay. In any case, the worst-case scenario is that Balder’s plan succeeds, and Jubileus reappears in Heaven… Speaking of which, Osiris, what do you plan to do if she really resurrects? She’s an Archangel! There’s no existence in the Demon World that can match her now…”

“Don’t worry. If Jubileus really resurrects, I’ll use my trump card!” Roy grinned. “What I’m more curious about now is why this Goddess of Light fell into a long slumber despite being so powerful. What accident happened to her? Who caused her accident?”

“I’m also very curious. To be honest, when I heard Sareth say that this Goddess of Light was actually the successor of Archangel Aesir in Heaven, I was shocked!” Sparda said. “If not for the accident that caused her to fall into a long slumber, perhaps Heaven would have directly counterattacked the Demon World. Argosax was heavily injured at that time and would have been unable to resist Jubileus…”

“Yes, it feels like these two twin worlds form a structure with Heaven on one side and the Demon World on the other, as though someone is pushing it…” Roy said thoughtfully. “Could it be…”

“What? Did you think of something?” Sparda asked.

“…No, maybe I’m thinking too much…” Roy shook his head.

Sparda looked at him for a while before finally nodding and did not continue asking.

Although Roy was expressionless, he was actually faintly horrified because a name suddenly flashed in his mind just now.

Samael…

Because of Julia, Roy knew that Samael had come to this world before. But from the mouths of the native demons in the Demon World, he found that no demon had noticed that Samael had come. He came and left quietly, only taking one soul and transforming it into the fallen angel Julia.

Indeed, the ruler of the Demon World at that time was the golden demon Argosax. According to the principle of kings not meeting other kings, it seemed reasonable for Samael to leave quietly. But why did Samael not alarm anyone and only take away a soul?

Is there something special about this soul?

Previously, Roy had always thought that Samael had picked up Julia’s soul when he saw the angels retreat. But now that he suddenly learned that Archangel Jubileus had fallen asleep due to an accident, he had no choice but to let his imagination run wild.

Is it possible that… the soul that Samael took away was Jubileus’s?!

Logically speaking, it was very difficult for Samael to obtain the soul of an Archangel like Jubileus. But what if Samael ambushed her when she had just descended into this world and had yet to gain a foothold?

Don’t say that it’s impossible. The soul of an Archangel was definitely worth Samael taking action!

If that was the case, then Julia’s origin was not simple. She was likely a fallen angel transformed from a portion of the soul of the Goddess of Light Jubileus!

The reason why he said that it was only a portion of her soul was that the strength that Julia displayed was relatively weak. In addition to the fact that her body might not match her soul, it was also possible that her strength was greatly affected because her soul was incomplete.

And Jubileus had also fallen into a long slumber due to the sudden loss of most of her soul. It had to be known that having someone taking away this kind of soul and taking the initiative to split your soul yourself was totally different. Even if she could repair her soul, it would probably take a long time.

Roy did not know how likely his guess was. But if it was true, then there was a problem that he had to consider.

That was how to deal with the souls of Jubileus and Julia…
