Custom Made Demon King - Chapter 485

Chapter 485: Unexpected Identity

“What does she want to do? Does she want to die?” Fury could not help ridiculing as she watched Jeanne approaching Jubileus. “Does she think that she’s stronger than us Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and can break through the blockade to approach her?”

Rodin grinned. “So, it’s up to you guys to cover her!”

Without waiting for Fury to continue asking questions, Rodin explained, “Balder and Bayonetta fused into Jubileus’s body because the power of the Right Eye of Light and the Left Eye of Darkness that they carry combined into the Eyes of the World. The Eyes of the World provide immense energy to the just recovered Jubileus, but this doesn’t mean that the souls of Balder and Bayonetta have also completely fused into Jubileus’s soul… The souls of mortals can’t fuse with the souls of gods. Their souls and consciousness are only temporarily residing in her body. Of course, this kind of resident can affect Jubileus’s judgment to a certain extent. After all, her soul isn’t in a complete state, which is why Balder’s will can affect her actions.

“Since Balder’s soul and consciousness still exist, then Bayonetta’s also exist. However, her soul and consciousness may have fallen into a deep sleep!” Rodin took a puff of his cigar. “Jeanne is Bayonetta’s good friend, and she’s also an Umbra Witch. She has come into contact with the power of the Left Eye of Darkness, so she can sense Bayonetta’s position in Jubileus’s body. With this connection, she might be able to awaken Bayonetta and pull her out of Jubileus’s body!”

Roy and the others immediately understood.

Jubileus had been asleep for thousands of years, and because of the missing portion of her soul, it was impossible for her to have such great power after waking up under normal circumstances. But because the Eyes of the World were supplying energy to her, she could achieve this shocking act of merging worlds. If Jeanne could awaken Bayonetta and pull her out, it meant that the Left Eye of Darkness would also be taken out of her body.

At that time, with only Balder’s Right Eye of Light left, the Eyes of the World would no longer be able to play a role, and it would naturally not be able to provide Jubileus with immense energy. The fusion process of the worlds would also inevitably be obstructed.

This was the best way to weaken Jubileus…

“If Jubileus is weakened, in addition to what you said earlier about the fallen angel with her soul fragment appearing in Heaven from the Demon World, will there be a higher chance of success in that instant?” Rodin grinned.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse looked at each other and then at Roy, who was deep in thought. After they heard this, their hearts could not help but palpitate.

But Roy was still very calm. He stared at Rodin and asked, “Rodin, it’s said that you were once an angel. Now, you’re deliberately helping us murder an Archangel, but I don’t hear anything beneficial to you from your words. I don’t believe that you’re so kind.”

Rodin laughed out loud. “There are some things that don’t necessarily have to be beneficial to me. You can take it that I don’t like the world after fusion. To me, the World of the Trinity is bullshit. As long as I can stop the plans of Heaven, I’ll be very happy.”

“Okay. Then I’ll believe you once!” Roy nodded and looked at the Four Horsemen.

Looking at Roy’s gaze, Death was silent for a moment before saying to him, “Let’s give it a try. It’s best to be able to kill her, but if it’s impossible, we won’t continue. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse aren’t your goons. No matter what, we’ve already worked hard, and we’ll treat it as fulfilling Fury and your agreement. Understood?”

“No problem!” Roy nodded. This was indeed the case. He could not expect the Four Horsemen to fight to the death here in order to fulfill their promise to him, right?

After receiving Roy’s assurance, the Four Horsemen once again summoned their warhorses and jumped into the sky from Rafaro’s back. The four magical horses neighed and carried them as they galloped in the sky.

Seeing the Four Horsemen controlling their horses to avoid the meteors and approaching Jubileus with their superb riding skills, Roy took a deep breath and asked Rafaro, “Haven’t you detected it yet?”

“I’ve detected it. The outline of Mundus’s Demon King City is faintly appearing in the southeast. The space there is merging!” Rafaro replied. “If the two mistresses appear, it’s definitely there!”

“Go!” Roy shouted to Rafaro. Rafaro immediately twisted his body and flew southeast at high speed.

Rodin’s voice came from behind. “Don’t you care about Sparda and the others?”

“It’s no problem for them to protect themselves!” Roy said without looking back. “Leave the battle to the Four Horsemen. I only need to ensure that Julia won’t be approached by Jubileus. As for you, Rodin, are you planning to follow me?”

“Don’t be so heartless…” Rodin grinned. “I’m just curious. If the Horsemen can really help you kill Jubileus, then what will you do with her divine spark?”

“What? You want Jubileus’s divine spark?” Roy finally turned his head back to look at Rodin when he heard this.

“Of course not!” Rodin shook his head. “Jubileus’s divine spark is useless to me.”

“Is that so?” Roy revealed a sinister smirk. “Let me guess. As a demon, you don’t want a divine spark when it appears in front of you. There are only three reasons. The first is that you’re not that greedy. Of course, this is impossible. I’m very clear about the nature of demons. The second is that you can’t fuse with Jubileus’s divine spark, so it’s useless even if you obtain it. This possibility is there, but it doesn’t seem very likely. As for the last reason, it’s that… you don’t need a divine spark anymore… Am I right, Your Excellency Rodin?”

“…” The smile on Rodin’s face stiffened for a moment but then immediately returned to normal. After a long time, he said, “How did you see it?”

“I can’t see it, and I also couldn’t tell!” Roy shook his head. “The aura on you is indeed at the demon lord level, but even Sparda, I, and the other demon lords find the scene caused by Jubileus very troublesome. On the other hand, you still seem calm. This makes me have to guess that even if the twin worlds really become one, it won’t affect you, right?”

“…” Rodin did not say anything. This attitude was equivalent to silent agreement.

Roy smiled. “Then, Your Excellency Rodin, who are you? There aren’t many demon kings in the Abyss, and I’ve never heard of your name. Is your real name Lucifer or Samael? Or is it Leviathan? Mammon?”

“No, no. I’m not a clone of the Deadly Sin Demon Kings!” Rodin waved his hand.

“Oh?” Roy was slightly surprised. He had initially guessed that Rodin was most likely a clone that Samael had left in this world. After all, Samael had appeared in this world once and sneak attacked Jubileus and took away a portion of her soul fragments. It made sense if he had left a clone.

Rodin did not answer, and his figure gradually became blurry. It seemed that he was planning to leave. But before he left, he suddenly showed a meaningful smile and whispered, “If you want to, then you can call me Mephisto… Young Demon Osiris, maybe we’ll meet again…”

His figure completely disappeared, but the words he left behind stunned Roy for a long time.

Roy’s guess was totally wrong earlier. Rodin’s true body was actually… Mephisto?!

Of course, Roy was certainly not unfamiliar with this name. In fact, he had seen the name Mephisto many times in the information he collected about powerful demons.

If the famous Seven Deadly Sin Demon Kings were considered the first-generation demon kings of the Abyss and the Ancestral Demon Kings, then Mephisto was a second-generation demon king of the Abyss. Moreover, he was considered one of the best among the second-generation demon kings because his name had already spread widely in many worlds. It could be said that his fame was second only to the Deadly Sin Demon Kings.

Roy had guessed before that among the worlds connected to the Infinite Worlds, there might still be the Marvel world, the Diablo world, and so on[1]. But he did not expect to meet Mephisto so soon. This showed that his guess was true. The Marvel world and the Diablo world definitely existed because Mephisto was the most famous demon king in these two worlds.

Of course, Rodin might only be a clone of Mephisto and not his true body, but this was enough to shock Roy.

In his shock, Roy could not help but think of what Rodin said as he left: “We’ll meet again!”

What does this mean? Mephisto has his eyes on me? Or is he planning to talk to me after the matter with Jubileus is over?

Roy’s imagination ran wild for a while, causing his head to ache. Fortunately, at this moment, Rafaro reminded him, and he finally restrained his thoughts.

Julia, Benia, and the others appeared, and they were indeed near Demon King City. Not only them, but Sareth, Cassandra, and Fat Tiger were also there. It seemed that after withdrawing to the Demon World, they had not disbanded the Demon World army and were still preparing to counterattack. But because Jubileus had begun to merge the two twin worlds, they did not know what had happened while in the Demon World. They were at a loss for a while after suddenly appearing in Heaven again and seeing the catastrophic scene of the doomsday apocalypse.

Before they were hit by meteors, Roy brought them onto Rafaro’s back. But he was helpless regarding the demon army. He could only leave them exposed to the falling stars and watch as they were bombarded by meteors and turned into ashes.

“Darling, what happened?!” Julia lay on Rafaro’s back in panic and asked helplessly, “Why did we appear in Heaven again?”

“Jubileus did it!” Roy replied simply and looked in the distance at Jubileus.

Julia has already reappeared here, so next, Jubileus should sense her existence, right? Hopefully, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse can seize this opportunity…
