Of course, Roy’s depression only lasted for a bit before he felt relieved.

Age had never been a problem for long-lived species. Julia was more than two thousand years older than him. Wasn’t this fine? He would get used to it.

Moreover, Roy knew that Lilith didn’t have any ethical concepts. She wasn’t human and could do whatever she wanted, so he naturally couldn’t ask her to follow his own way of thinking.

“Okay, you’ve obtained what you wanted. What about mine?” Roy asked Lilith.

Although they didn’t say it explicitly, both Roy and Lilith knew that this was a transaction between the two of them. He had brought the Red Sea Egg to her and helped her obtain Chaos power so that she could enter the Void. Although they had not signed any contracts for this transaction, both parties tacitly followed the rules of transactions. She had already obtained what she wanted, and now it was his turn.

Lilith didn’t brush Roy off and smiled at him. “Check your strength first.”

Roy was stunned for a moment before checking his body. He found an incomparably violent power in his body!

The Void?! Roy immediately looked at Lilith in surprise.

“Don’t worry. The ritual has been completed, and this Void power is controllable!” Lilith explained. “The reproduction ritual completed through the Red Sea Egg is an equivalent exchange. I reproduced your Chaos power, and you reproduced my Void power. The Red Sea Egg is a true divine artifact, and there won’t be any problems with this process, so you can use this Void power without worry.

“But I still have to remind you to be cautious about Void power!” Lilith said solemnly. “Void power and Chaos power are both illusory and real powers. They maintain a balance between each other, so Void power can remain in your body. But every time you use Void power, it will devour a portion of the matter of the material world and become stronger. In order to prevent it from losing control, you’d best use it carefully.”

“What’s the use of Void power?” Roy frowned. “I already have Chaos power…”

“The simplest is to let you completely adapt to the chaotic laws of the Void when facing it!” Lilith said. “It can also increase your combat strength. But as mentioned earlier, you can use it to fight, but don’t lose control of it. Otherwise, you will become a Void creature. You can figure out what other abilities you have on your own.”

“Okay, I understand. What else?” Roy asked. “With the importance of the Red

Sea Egg to you, this isn’t enough to offset our deal.”

“Of course!” Lilith nodded. “But let’s go out first.”

The Red Sea Egg opened, and the two of them appeared on the Blood Sea again. Lilith calculated silently in her heart and said, “It’s probably about time…” “For what?” Roy asked curiously.

But as soon as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came to his mind.

“In the name of Osiris, I am calling you here. Please, save me! Save me from here. I can’t stand this endless nothingness anymore. My brothers have abandoned me. Imperius and Tyrael didn’t come. I can’t wait any longer. Save me…”

This voice kept repeating over and over, as though it was speaking to Roy or herself. He immediately realized that it was Auriel’s voice.

“What’s going on?” He was extremely shocked. He recalled the time when

Auriel fell into the Void with him. “It’s only been less than a year. Auriel is the

Archangel of Hope. How can she not be able to endure it in the Void?!” Roy suddenly thought of something and asked Lilith, “Did you do it?”

Lilith nodded. “When I was still in the Void, I sensed your and Auriel’s auras. But at the time, I hadn’t received the memories from my other clones, so I knew nothing about you. I only found the curse you left on Auriel. After you left the Void, I thought that I would have to face the High Heavens and the Burning Hells when I returned. Of course, I had to destroy Auriel, this Archangel of Hope, if I could to prevent myself from having another opponent in the future, so I found Auriel’s location. After your curse, I placed another curse on her…”

“What curse?” Roy asked.

“Time!” Lilith grinned sinisterly. “I don’t have any other power in the void, and I can only use the power of time, so I cast a time curse on her that makes time flow ten thousand times faster!”

“What?!” Roy was shocked. “In that case, although it’s been less than a year since the destruction of the High Heavens, Auriel has actually spent… almost ten thousand years in the Void?!”

“Yes, although the price I paid was relatively high, it seems like everything is worth it now!” Lilith looked at Roy. “Especially after knowing your existence and knowing that you’re actually called the King of Despair, this casual move played a better role than I imagined!”

“What do you mean?” Roy was puzzled.

“Since you’re known as the King of Despair, your authority must be related to despair. But this power of despair is relatively difficult for you to obtain!” Lilith explained. “Am I right?”

Roy nodded. Indeed, although the authority of despair was powerful, it was not easy to increase it.

“Auriel is the Archangel of Hope. She originally had a powerful will and the authority of hope!” Lilith continued. “But being trapped in the Void for nearly ten thousand years is enough to break any hope she had. Imperius is dead, Itherael is dead, you imprisoned Tyrael, and the High Heavens has fallen. No one can save her. She is gradually decaying in the Void. Once she, who once had the strongest hope, falls under the curse, she will transform into… an angel of

despair!”

Roy’s heart stirred as he quickly asked, “You mean she became an angel of despair?!”

“That’s right!” Lilith nodded, and a bright light flashed in her eyes. “I’ve already seen her appearance after her transformation in the River of Time. Believe me, she’s the best support for your authority! You’ll understand if you respond to her call and think of a way to pull her out of the Void. This is one of the contents of our transaction. But I suggest you establish a contract with her first, and it’s best if it’s… a symbiotic contract!”

“Symbiotic contract?” Roy frowned. “Why use this contract?”

“Because her current situation is special. If you don’t use this contract, the moment you pull her back from the Void, she will disappear!” Lilith said. “Believe me, go and do it!”

Roy nodded and didn’t say anything else. The wings behind him spread and directly changed his body shape. The enormous Void Eye on his chest opened, and Void runes appeared on his demon wings.

In this Void form, Roy suddenly found that the Void power in his body had become unprecedentedly active. He was clearly still in the material world of Sanctuary, but the Void Eye on his chest transmitted a scene from the Void to him!

I can actually observe the Void in the material world?!

After adapting to it a little, Roy followed the curse aura he had left and began to search for Auriel in the Void. Soon, he found… a figure in a terrible state in the boundless Void.

At this moment, Auriel was still curled up, but her entire body was already emanating the aura of powerful Void power. It seemed that the Void corrosion in her body was much more serious than expected.

Moreover, Roy noticed that below Frostmourne’s wound on her abdomen, her entire lower abdomen had already begun to collapse. Under the combined effect of Void corrosion and curse corrosion, her body had already decayed.

No wonder Lilith said to use a symbiotic contract. If he didn’t share some life force with Auriel, the moment she left the Void, the conflict between Void power and the material world would really disintegrate her.

After discovering this situation, Roy didn’t hesitate and immediately responded to Auriel’s call.

After nearly ten thousand years of endless loneliness, Auriel finally heard a voice again. She was both sad and happy. If her original authority of hope still existed, she might have been able to reignite the flame of hope at this moment. Unfortunately, she had already completely fallen, and her authority and power had changed.

She didn’t hesitate much about the contract Roy proposed and immediately signed it. She only wanted to leave this endless darkness and Void, and she would do anything for it.

In fact, her heart was full of anger and hatred at the moment. She hated Imperius, Tyrael, and Itherael for not coming to save her…

After establishing the contract, Roy naturally thought of a way to pull Auriel out of the Void. But what he didn’t expect was that because he now had Void power, this step was exceptionally simple. He could directly open a gap to the Void from the material world by breaking through space and reach in to pull Auriel out!

Obviously, this ability to tear Void rifts directly was terrifying. This meant that he could open a Void rift in any material world at any time in the future and leak the power of the Void…

Roy pulled Auriel out of the Void. The moment she entered the material world, an intense power conflict began. But because of the symbiotic contract, she drew Chaos power from Roy to resist and suppress the Void, allowing the laws of the material world to have the upper hand in her. While saving her life, she didn’t need to change into a Void creature.

Finally, when the pervasive endless darkness dissipated from Auriel’s body, Roy saw her current appearance clearly.

At this moment, Auriel’s original angel clothes had turned black and red. Her entire lower bodv was and the black and muddy corruption power was like liquid as it dripped down from her incomplete waist and abdomen, accompanied by a faint dripping sound. But strangely, she didn’t seem to feel any pain. Her original intangible appearance under her hood also appeared at this moment, turning into a strange face with three pairs of compound eyes.

However, what surprised Roy the most was Auriel’s wings.

Originally, Auriel’s wings were fluttering light wings, but now, her wings had returned to their original wing state. The three pairs of wings represented her original identity as an Archangel, but all the feathers on the wings had mutated!

On each of the crisscrossing feathers were eyes full of despair. When Auriel spread her wings, the eyes of despair stared at Roy, giving him the creeps!

Before he could say anything, she let out an unconscious murmur and floated to his shoulder. She hugged his right shoulder blade with both hands and stopped moving!

It seemed she would be staying by Roy’s side like this in the future.

Looking at Auriel’s unwillingness to leave, he didn’t know what to say.. Although he Imew that this was a symbiotic contract, he felt that his style was becoming stranger and stranger…
