Chapter 186 Red Sea Egg
While Roy spoke, Lilith did not ask any questions and only listened quietly.
After Roy finished narrating, she was silent for a long time before suddenly asking, “Did you say that Void power can not only corrupt t.i.tan world-souls but also the so-called G.o.ds? Is that right?”
“Yes!” Roy was stunned for a bit before nodding
“In that case, it seems that His Majesty Samael’s concerns are right!” Lilith propped up her body. “Not only him, but even Heaven has noticed…”
“Huh? What do you mean?” Lilith’s earlier words did not match her latter words, and Roy did not understand for a moment.
Lilith got down from the bed and walked back and forth around her bedchamber. “The main world of this world is Earth, but I’m certain that this planet hasn’t given birth to a t.i.tan world-soul. But as you’ve also seen, Corruption… or Void power has also eroded this world. In many alternate s.p.a.ces, scenes like the Black Stone being devoured have appeared. Since Void power doesn’t have a t.i.tan world-soul to corrupt here, it might corrupt those G.o.ds…”
A thought popped into Roy’s mind. “You mean the Charred Council?”
“Yes, the Charred Council!” Lilith nodded approvingly. “You’re indeed very smart. I’m talking about the Charred Council!
“You should have been summoned here from the Abyss during the End War, so you might not know the origin of the Charred Council!” Lilith continued. “In fact, after discovering this world, angels and demons have been fighting each other for this world because it is very suitable to develop into a new Heaven territory or Abyss territory. At that time, the Charred Council had yet to exist. This endless war has lasted for a long time, for millions of years. In this war, countless angels and demons have died in this world.
“Gradually, a group of angels and demons began to feel tired of this life of war because many of them had not been able to return to Heaven or the Abyss and had been staying in this world to fight unceasingly. Even angels and demons were about to go crazy with this kind of life! Therefore, they privately joined forces and established the Charred Council. They claimed that the Charred Council obtained the oracle of the Creator and used it to formulate a code of laws, hoping to end the endless war between angels and demons… At that time, the members of the Charred Council only elected two seats, and an angel and a demon each occupied one. Moreover, the angel and demon were very powerful and not weaker than demon kings.”
“You know that councils are very difficult to reach a consensus on many issues if there are multiple seats. Therefore, when the Charred Council was established, it had no deterrence to angels and demons, and it often fell into a chaos of opinions… So at that time, neither Heaven nor h.e.l.l paid attention to the Charred Council’s orders and completely treated them as idiots and clowns.
“However, the turning point appeared when humanity was born in the main world!” Lilith sank into her memories and said in deep thought, “I don’t know if the Charred Council really obtained the Creator’s oracle, but ever since it accepted the human with the most wisdom and power among the primitive humans as a member of the council, the seats of the council became three, and the power of the Charred Council rapidly grew! The combat strength of its army soared, and it began to fight the angels and demons on equal footing, making the angels and demons have no choice but to face this force head-on. At the same time, it also tried its best to protect the still fragile humans, declaring that humans were also an important part of the balance of the world.
“Out of curiosity, I started researching humans!” Lilith said. “I have to say that humans are indeed a very miraculous species. Precisely because of this research, I discovered that humans could actually fuse with the bloodlines of angel and demon at the same time. The nephilim were born at that time…
“But an accident happened afterward. I discovered that the nephilim I created were actually failures. They were tyrannical, violent, and bloodthirsty. Maybe it was because the angel and demon bloodlines in their bloodlines failed to reach a balance, and they were more inclined toward the demon side! The nephilim did not have a large population, and they only reproduced for two generations before being recruited by the Charred Council! This is the origin of the Four Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse. I believe you’ve heard it.”
Roy and Julia nodded and did not interrupt Lilith.
“After obtaining the allegiance of the Four Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse, the Charred Council became even more unstoppable. At that time, the Charred Council had already begun to proclaim itself as the spokesperson and manager of the Creator in this world, with authority like G.o.ds. They began forcefully intervening in the war between angels and demons and ordered us to stop fighting. All those who oppose them were buried under the iron hooves of the Four Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse. “The truce agreement was finally reached. Although both angels and demons were unwilling, considering that the war had indeed gone on for too long, they ultimately agreed to the truce!” Lilith said. “This is the origin of the seven seals that are spread among the various ancient races.”
Roy nodded, finally understanding the entire history of the Charred Council. Lilith concluded, “This truce lasted for thousands of years, giving humanity a chance to recuperate and develop into what it is today. Similarly, as time pa.s.sed, the status of the Charred Council became higher and higher. It’s possible to say that they are the G.o.ds of this world!”
Seeing Lilith’s speech come to an end, Roy finally found an opportunity to interrupt and ask, “So, you think that while Void power is eroding this world, it’s also incubating in these so-called G.o.ds of the Charred Council?”
Lilith nodded. “Yes, no one understands more about incubation than demons. It’s nothing more than continuously enlarging the darkness in the depths of intelligent life and pus.h.i.+ng it toward a dangerous extreme. This is something that many demons can do. The difference is that demons might not be as powerful as the Void Lords you mentioned, and they can’t bestow such power onto the corrupted. The Charred Council has been in a superior position for the past thousands of years. It has made demands of all the races, and no one can resist its will. Perhaps it’s because of this burgeoning mentality that we’ve found that the Charred Council’s methods have become more and more extreme in recent years. Although it says that it’s maintaining the balance, it’s more like it’s maintaining its ruling position many times… Therefore, we have reason to suspect that it has been corrupted…”
“Pardon my frankness, Your Majesty Lilith, but why did you tell us this?” Roy asked thoughtfully.
“I heard from Death that you made a deal with Fury in exchange for the secrets of the nephilim. Is that right?” Lilith looked straight at Roy.
Sure enough, Roy’s previous guess came true. Fury had indeed told Death about him and the content of their deal. After coming to the Black Stone and meeting Lilith, perhaps Death was also investigating the true situation of the power of Corruption, so he told Lilith the whole thing… Of course, it could also be that Lilith had fished out these words from Death’s mouth. But no matter what, the Four Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse, whether it was Fury or Death, had no obligation to keep secrets for him, an Abyss demon. In fact, because it involved the secrets of the birth of the nephilim, they were worried that this demon was up to something. Informing Lilith, the creator of the nephilim, might even arouse her anger…
Although it might have not been good to say that, Roy felt that they would certainly be happy to see demons biting each other like dogs… Roy understood the intentions hidden beneath the surface of the Horseman of the Apocalypse. However, judging from Lilith’s tone and att.i.tude, she did not seem to care much about him pursuing the secrets of the nephilim… Hmm, maybe Lilith also sensed Death’s true intention, so she did not fall for it. This was definitely a good thing for Roy!
Therefore, Roy did not say anything, but his expression was equivalent to tacit agreement.
Finally, Lilith said, “Little guy, you don’t need to be so nervous. Although I’m the creator of the nephilim, in fact, to me, the nephilim are just the failed products of an experiment, and it’s not worth me making a fuss over it. You wanting to know the secrets of the nephilim is nothing more than you seeking the means to promote to demon lord. I can tell you how to create nephilim, but how do you plan to repay me?”
When Roy heard this, his mind raced.
Strength? Authority? Money? Souls? Lilith probably doesn’t lack these things. She was a demon king, and Roy was only a high-rank demon. No matter how Roy looked at it, these things did not seem to be something Roy could give.
Therefore, Roy sounded out, “Your Majesty Lilith, perhaps I can only offer you my loyalty…”
In fact, Roy still had a hidden thought in his heart. He felt that there was something else he could give—his body. He believed that a succubus like Lilith was like those succubi in the Abyss, feeling very hungry/thirsty. Maybe I can… sleep with her?
It had to be said that Lilith’s charm was too powerful. Even though she had restrained it now, Roy still could not help but have such thoughts.
W
However, he suddenly remembered that Lilith was Samael’s partner in this world. If I really sleep with her, wouldn’t I be giving Samael a green hat? F*ck, that’s courting death. If Samael knows, would he tear me apart?! At the thought of this, Roy quickly suppressed his unrealistic idea…
Fortunately, he kept his head lowered, and Lilith did not see his eyes and expression. Facing Roy’s question, Lilith shook her head unexpectedly. “I don’t need your loyalty, but you might be able to help me do something!”
“What is it?” Roy asked.
“When the Charred Council secretly recruited the Four Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse, not only did it have them kill all their compatriots but also steal something from me!” Lilith’s expression flickered. “The Red Sea Egg. It’s a key item to create the nephilim. After losing this Red Sea Egg, even I can no longer create nephilim. After the Four Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse, no third generation of nephilim has been born. What I want you to do is to find a way to s.n.a.t.c.h the Red Sea Egg from the Charred Council and bring it back to me. Then I will fulfill my promise and tell you how to fuse the bloodlines and souls of angels and demons!”
“Wouldn’t the Red Sea Egg be in the Charred Council?” Roy asked in astonishment. “You want me to go to the Charred Council s.p.a.ce?”
“That’s the problem you have to consider!” Lilith waved her hand at Roy. “I only gave you a chance because you brought information about Void power, but I have countless high-rank demons under me. If you can’t seize this opportunity, it’s your problem. Now, you can leave this place!”
Seeing Lilith wave them away, Roy and Julia did not dare to say anything else, and they could only withdraw from Lilith’s bedchamber.
But after they left, Lilith revealed an intriguing smile…
