Lilith was very unhappy with Roy’s description of the Creator and his creations.
“If you continue talking nonsense, I will beat you up! Hurry up and do it!”
Roy shrugged and landed above the shadow crystal. He raised his hand and created an enormous tornado centered on the crystal.
Similar to the crystal in the High Heavens, the shadow crystal was condensed from high-concentration energy, and conventional methods of destruction had little effect on it. The best way to destroy it was to use the Desolate Virus. But the environment of the shadow crystal was different. The high-temperature magma spreading around might hinder and kill the Desolate Virus, preventing it from proliferating, so Roy had to separate the magma from the crystal first.
The tornado spun at high speed and continuously rolled up the thick magma before sending it flying out through centrifugal force. As long as the tornado was powerful enough, the surrounding magma wouldn’t have time to fill in. Taking advantage of the vacuum state of the magma around the crystal, Roy planted the Desolate Virus on it.
The black Desolate Virus was very inconspicuous on the surface of the shadow crystal. But as the virus continued to multiply, the sticky, creep-like substance began to spread on the surface of the crystal and wrap around it.
Roy continuously output magic power to control the tornado and let the Desolate Virus spread. After about two hours, cracks began to appear on the surface of the shadow crystal.
This was a sign that the structure of the crystal was beginning to become fragile after the energy inside was continuously absorbed. The corrosion of the Desolate Virus was slower than in the High Heavens, but it still successfully achieved the desired effect. After Roy attacked the crystal again, the shadow crystal immediately began to collapse.
In an instant, the remaining dark power in the crystal poured out, condensing a shadow storm above the magma sea. This storm even affected the entire Burning h.e.l.ls, and abnormal weather phenomena appeared everywhere in the seven realms of h.e.l.l.
The souls hovering in the sky above the magma sea wailed and dissipated in the shadow storm. But some strong souls could escape, but because the shadow crystal was destroyed, the crystal could no longer accept them. Therefore, tiny Gates of the Abyss kept opening, and these souls were expelled back to the Abyss.
After expelling these souls, Lilith, who was looking up at the sky, heaved a sigh of relief. She knew that the nephalem of Sanctuary no longer needed to worry about the invasion of the Burning h.e.l.ls.
Perhaps some demons would be able to enter this world through Gates of the Abyss in the future, but these demons were no longer a threat to Sanctuary. As long as the nephalem who had awakened their bloodline power had the ability to kill these demons, they could expel them from this world, and there was no need to worry that these demons wouldn’t leave.
Lilith knew very well that it was impossible for there to be a completely peaceful world without any setbacks. The nephalem also needed tempering to grow.
“My original plan was to expel all creatures that don’t belong to this world,” Lilith suddenly said to Roy. “But do you know why I agreed to let your foster son stay in this world?”
“Oh? Did you see something in the River of Time?” Roy asked curiously.
“The nephalem bloodline contains powerful strength, but the more awakened they are, the more likely they are to become lost in the power!” Lilith said. “Although I’m their mother, I don’t have a good solution to this… But your foster son seems to be different. He can control the powerful negative emotions caused by the demon bloodline in his body and control this power in the form of demonization.”
Roy nodded. He knew that Lilith was talking about Sareth’s demon transformation. In fact, Sareth had learned this move from Dante and Nero. After comparing it to the nephalem of this world, Roy realized that this demonization might be a special skill. It could control the power in the nephalem’s body and release it at will, which was equivalent to transforming into a demon to accommodate this powerful force.
From the looks of it, no one in Sanctuary knew this ability to transform into a demon, so Roy understood what Lilith meant. “Do you want Sareth to pa.s.s on the demonization technique to the nephalem?”
“Yes!” Lilith nodded. “The power of the nephalem is a hidden danger. I don’t want them to be destroyed in a civil war after eliminating the threat of the Burning h.e.l.ls for them.”
“No problem. In fact, even if you didn’t say it, Sareth might do it himself,” Roy said.
After destroying the shadow crystal, Roy drilled into the tornado and went down to the bottom of the magma sea. Sure enough, he found a black shadow key among the crystal fragments, so he took it out.
After the tornado stopped, the surrounding magma filled the ma.s.sive cavity in the crystal and quickly smoothed the sea surface.
The shadow crystal was destroyed, but the Burning h.e.l.ls, like the High Heavens, was already a stable s.p.a.ce, and it was impossible for it to collapse with the collapse of the crystals. In other words, in the future, the Burning h.e.l.ls would become like the High Heavens, a ruined s.p.a.ce where no demons lived. After Lilith and Roy left with the army, they would seal the s.p.a.ce here.
Be it the Burning h.e.l.ls or the High Heavens, they would only be recorded in the history of Sanctuary in the future. Perhaps thousands of years later, descendants of the nephalem would enter these two places. But at that time, these two s.p.a.ces would only be for them to explore.
On the way back, Roy took out the shadow key and asked Lilith, “What about this key? And that holy light key, it should be in the hands of the seven demon kings. Mephisto said that the holy light key might be the key to opening a pa.s.sage to Eden. Is that true?”
“No, they guessed wrong!” Lilith shook her head. “Imperius communicated with Eden with the help of the holy crystal of Anu’s spine, but the holy light key formed after the crystal collapsed isn’t used to open a pa.s.sage to Eden. The holy light key needs to be combined with this shadow key. But in the end, what the key can open is a pa.s.sage to the homeland of the world-soul t.i.tan who created this world.’
“Oh? Looks like my guess is still reliable!” Roy said in surprise. “But the homeland of the t.i.tan…
Lilith flew in the air, turned her head, and gave Roy a mysterious smile. Then she suddenly raised her hand and threw something to him.
Roy caught it reflexively and looked at it, only to find that what Lilith had thrown over was… a weapon, a weapon that he was familiar with!
It was a rough-looking blade. The guard and blade looked relatively simple. The only characteristic was that the blade became wider closer to the tip, and there was a semicircular gap in the middle of the blade. In this gap was a circular gem that looked like a skull, and this gem exuded an evil power.
“This is… the Corrupted Ashbringer?!” After Roy recognized this weapon, his eyes almost popped out. “Why is this thing here?!”
“It seems you know its origin!” Lilith said. “This is a weapon that appeared in Sanctuary many years ago. No one knows its origin or who forged it. This weapon was originally held by a paladin. But after holding this weapon, the paladin unfortunately died in battle. Then this weapon pa.s.sed through the hands of several people, but everyone who possessed it died without exception. After studying this weapon, the weapon masters of Sanctuary found that the material and craftsmans.h.i.+p it used didn’t belong to Sanctuary, nor did they belong to the High Heavens or the Burning h.e.l.ls but came from another world.”
“Is it from… the world where the world-soul t.i.tan came from?” Roy probed.
“That’s right. After I returned from the Void and visited various nations, I accidentally found this weapon in a king’s treasury! ” Lilith said. “After studying it, I found that this weapon might have fallen into this world from a spatial rift. Moreover, there were a few similar items in history. These items came from the same world. The world-soul t.i.tan who created this world might have thought of returning to his home world one day, so this world has a certain connection with his home world. These things that accidentally fell into this world are proof.”
Roy looked down at the shadow key in his hand and was lost in thought for a while. So when the holy key and the shadow key combine, what they can open is actually a channel to the Warcraft world?! Anu, who created this world, was actually a t.i.tan from the Pantheon?!
What kind ofG.o.dly development is this?!
Could the name of the first t.i.tan that the Creator created be Aman’Thul?
Although Roy had heard of the Burning Legion in the Abyss and even told the Four Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse about the situation in the Warcraft world when he was in the Darksiders world, he didn’t expect that he would really contact the Warcraft world here…
Then, should I go to that world to take a look?After all, I have the key now. As long as I kill the other halves of the seven demon kings and take back the holy light key, it’s equivalent to grasping the pa.s.sage to that world…
While Roy was thinking, Lilith suddenly grabbed the shadow key in his hand. He turned to look at her in surprise, only to see her smiling mysteriously. “How should I put it? This is really a coincidence. Perhaps this is fate. The deepest part of the Void I’m heading to happens to be in that world…”
“You… you want to go too?!” Roy groaned.
“Of course not now!” Lilith smiled. “Even searching for Trag’Oul and Mephisto’s hiding place has to wait until later. I have something more important to do.” “What is it?” Roy asked.
Lilith didn’t answer but accelerated ahead.. When Roy quickly accelerated to catch up, she said, “The most important thing is, of course, to restore my strongest strength!”
