Mephisto’s idea was actually very good. Although Trag’Oul was only an immature world-soul t.i.tan, he was still living on Sanctuary after all. Back then, neither the High Heavens nor the Burning h.e.l.ls had discovered his existence, showing the secrecy of the spatial crevice he lived in. If not for the destruction of the Worldstone later and him taking the initiative to appear and hide on Sanctuary once, perhaps no one would know that he existed. And Mephisto had paid an unknown price and promised to reach an agreement with Trag’Oul to hide the six demon kings in Trag’Oul’s spatial crevice. Under normal circ.u.mstances, they might really have been able to hide.
Unfortunately, Roy and Lilith had seen through his plan. In the duel between the seers, Lilith was still superior. Moreover, after she recovered her Deadly Sin-level power, she easily found the spatial crevice where Trag’Oul was hiding and found them all.
Although they were hiding in a spatial crevice, Mephisto, Trag’Oul, and the others could actually observe the outside world, so they had clearly witnessed the entire process of Lilith’s return on the moon. Moreover, they saw the arrival of Gabriel and Michael, as well as the figures of the two famous Archangels leaving in a sorry state in front of Lilith.
Not to mention that the six demon kings were only clones with half of their strength and souls at the moment, even at their peak, they couldn’t defeat the Deadly Sin-level Lilith. So after being captured, Mephisto didn’t have any other thoughts. He only hoped that Lilith could let this clone go on account of their past relations.h.i.+p.
Roy didn’t say anything and watched quietly from the side. But he already had a guess in his heart. He felt that Mephisto’s plea was probably useless because he had completely underestimated how much Lilith valued the nephalem. Before she was banished to the Void, Lilith had swept Sanctuary once and killed all the angels and demons on Sanctuary at the time because these angels and demons were hostile to the nephalem and enslaved them. Now that the High Heavens had been destroyed and the Burning h.e.l.ls was empty, only Mephisto and the others were left. Under these circ.u.mstances, how could Lilith let them go and leave hidden dangers behind?
As expected, Lilith ignored the pleas of Mephisto and the others. An incomparably powerful force acted on them and directly crushed their bodies. After the souls of the six demon kings were exposed, she didn’t let them go either. She wrapped their souls with the power of blood and melted them while they roared and wailed!
Lilith’s actions were decisive and ruthless toward her former compatriots. She vividly displayed the cold, demonic side of her personality at this moment.
Roy didn’t know about the other demon kings, but Mephisto definitely had other clones in other worlds. What Lilith had annihilated could only be regarded as a part of Mephisto’s soul. In other words, no matter what, Mephisto’s soul couldn’t return to its complete state, which was equivalent to extinguis.h.i.+ng his hope of becoming a Deadly Sin Demon King. Roy wondered if the situation here reached the other clones, would they be furious?
“You’re the only one left, Trag’Oul!” Lilith’s bright eyes stared intently at Trag’Oul, who was still struggling desperately in her fingertips. “In my opinion, you deserve to die just like Mephisto and the others!”
“Why?!” Trag’Oul’s puzzled voice came. “Lilith, don’t forget that I once protected Sanctuary!”
“But you shouldn’t have bewitched the nephalem into believing in your doctrines!” Lilith said coldly. “I can understand your desire to balance Heaven and h.e.l.l and seek self-preservation, but you shouldn’t have taught the power of death to the nephalem! They are the living, and the power of death is an absolute taboo for them. When that child Mendeln brought me back from the Void, I found that the Priests of Rathma had become like walking corpses because they had obtained forbidden knowledge!”
“But that’s their choice, isn’t it?” Trag’Oul argued. “They have the right to choose what power they want to obtain!”
Lilith tightened her grip, causing Trag’Oul to wail in pain. She said hatefully, “Don’t use those words to quibble. Don’t you know that the power of death will make the nephalem lose the ability to reproduce?! Are you trying to destroy their race?!”
Listening to Lilith and Trag’Oul’s conversation, Roy felt surprised. To be honest, he had not thought of this before.
The nephalem’s importance to Lilith was indeed beyond Roy’s imagination. Perhaps she had once thought of controlling the nephalem, but this might have only been out of maternal instinct, just like how a mother wanted her child to be obedient. There was nothing wrong with it. Unfortunately, the nephalem didn’t understand her thoughts. Uldyssian had even become an unfilial son and caused his mother to be banished into the Void again.
And now, because of Mendeln’s actions, Lilith had already forgiven the nephalem’s disobedience. What she wanted to do the most now was to eliminate all the hidden dangers of Sanctuary for them before she left this world.
Not only the angels and demons, but she didn’t intend to let go of the world-soul t.i.tan either. It seemed that she planned to leave a pure land for the nephalem to live.
Rubbing his demon horns, Roy was thinking about his situation. Before Lilith left, he had to depart. Although he and she were partners, they were still demons after all. She wouldn’t allow him to leave Sanctuary after her.
Roy didn’t have any special thoughts about this. Anyway, the matters of this world were basically over. When the time came, he would let Sareth stay in this world and live well with his people.
Just as Roy was thinking, Lilith’s voice came. “Take it. This is the soul of the world-soul t.i.tan that I promised you!”
Roy turned around and found that Trag’Oul was already gone. After the conversation, Lilith had effortlessly crushed him to death. Trag’Oul’s colossal body was currently turning into light spots and dissipating, leaving an enormous colorful soul in Lilith’s hand.
Lilith threw this soul to Roy. After receiving it, he held it in his hand and observed it curiously. This was the first time he had seen the soul of a world-soul t.i.tan.
Back in the Heroes of Might and Magic world, Roy had killed some t.i.tans, but these t.i.tans could only be regarded as descendants of world-soul t.i.tans. To be precise, they could only be called giants, and their souls were nothing special. But the soul of the world-soul t.i.tan Trag’Oul was full of exuberant vitality.
“World-soul t.i.tans were once given the authority of creation by the Creator!” Lilith explained. “So they also have the power of life and death. This soul won’t improve you much, but it will be very helpful to your dragon mount.”
Roy asked curiously, “You saw it?”
Lilith smiled and didn’t answer. Instead, she waved her hand gently at Sanctuary.
Julia, Benia, Fat Tiger, and Rafaro, whom Roy had left on Sanctuary earlier, were attracted by an invisible force and quickly left Sanctuary and came to s.p.a.ce. Julia and the others were still calm about this irresistible force. Only Fat Tiger was so frightened that he was whimpering and his limbs were dancing wildly in s.p.a.ce.
After arriving at a place where Lilith’s face could almost be seen clearly, Julia and Benia bowed excitedly to Lilith, especially Benia. She was a succubus to begin with, and the call of the bloodline in her body made her incomparably respectful and reverent to Lilith, the succubus matriarch. She knelt piously on one knee in the vacuum and sent a soul voice transmission to Lilith. “Your Majesty Lilith, your daughter Benia greets you with the highest respect!”
Lilith looked at Benia and sighed slightly. “I haven’t been back to the Abyss for many, many years. Are the succubi living well?”
“Yes, Your Majesty Lilith!” Benia looked up and replied. “Now, the succubi are still the largest female demon race in the Abyss!”
“That’s good!” Lilith smiled. Then she looked at Benia and then at Julia. “Before leaving, I’ll give you a gift!”
Lilith raised her wrist, and a dazzling light spot condensed in her right index finger. This light spot quickly left her fingertip and flew toward Benia and Julia. After arriving in front of them, it suddenly split into two and merged into their bodies.
“What did you do to them?” Roy asked with a frown.
“I gave them a trace of the power of reproduction!” Lilith said casually. “When the Creator created the angels, he didn’t add the concept of gender. Perhaps he realized that this wouldn’t work, so when he created the demons, he made a gender distinction. The succubi were created from my bloodline. Reproducing is instinctive, and giving birth to descendants for powerful individuals is their philosophy. However, the stronger the demon, the harder it is to reproduce…”
Listening to Lilith’s words, Benia nodded vigorously while looking at Roy excitedly.
Not only her, Julia was the same. After following Roy, they had been trying to give birth to children for him. But perhaps because his strength had improved too quickly, no matter how they tried, there was nothing.
But it was different now. Lilith had bestowed Julia and Benia with a trace of the power of reproduction, meaning that they and Roy could easily have children, and they no longer needed to worry about the reproductive impact of becoming stronger…
After realizing this, Julia and Benia were about to go crazy with joy.
But Roy was a little startled. He never thought that Lilith would give him such a gift. In addition, he had just obtained a world-soul t.i.tan soul. Perhaps this was her reward to him for protecting her during the fusion ritual.
Roy returned to his senses and bowed to Lilith. “Thank you, Lilith, Mother of All Races!”
“Okay!” After receiving his bow, Lilith said, “Now that everything is over, I will seal the s.p.a.ce of this world so that no World Gate can be opened to this world. You should leave now!”
She took out the holy light key she had obtained from Mephisto and the others and placed it together with the shadow key they had obtained in the Burning h.e.l.ls. Then the two keys emitted intense light and gradually fused together to become a new key that glowed with a bronze metallic light.
This new key was not a physical object but a light and shadow item condensed from energy. The shape of the key was only a symbolic expression. In essence, this thing was a s.p.a.cetime guide.
Lilith said, “Now, I’ll give you two choices. Either return to the Abyss or use this key to open a World Gate and go to the world in the depths of the Void like me…
Which one do you choose?”
Julia and Benia looked at each other at a loss and then at Roy, waiting for him to make the decision.
After some thought, he replied, “It’s meaningless to stay in the Abyss for too long. Let’s go to the same world as you!”
Lilith smiled, not surprised by Roy’s choice. She didn’t say anything else and activated the key in her hand.
The bronze key emitted intense light and then turned into a jet of energy that burst out from Lilith’s hand and shot into the distant dark s.p.a.ce. As the light disappeared, there were intense fluctuations at the position.
An enormous World Gate with a deep vortex slowly opened. Judging from the size of the World Gate, it was probably specially set to allow the gigantic bodies of world-soul t.i.tans to pa.s.s through..
If nothing unexpected happened, the other end of the World Gate was the homeland of the world-soul t.i.tan Anu, who had once wandered into this world.
In other words, the Warcraft world…
