“Tsk…” Roy sighed regretfully and helplessly when he saw Elune leave. Then he waved his hand, and countless rubble floated over to repair the roof that he had just destroyed. At the same time, it covered the moonlight s.h.i.+ning down from the sky.
Roy’s hunch was right. Although his exchange with Elune was short, it had indeed been fruitful. Although she didn’t mention it explicitly, he confirmed one thing from her words. Before him, other Abyss demons had come to this world to search for something.
This inevitably made Roy think of Lilith. Lilith had said to him that she had followed the traces of the Creator and was certain that the Creator had disappeared from this universe in the end. Judging from the fact that she had gone to the depths of the Twisting Nether, the final place where the Creator had disappeared was in the deepest part of the Void.
Initially, Roy didn’t think too much about it. Lilith wanted to follow in the footsteps of the Creator out of her own feelings, and it had little to do with Roy. He had nothing to do with the legendary Creator, so he naturally wouldn’t follow her.
But judging from the information revealed by Elune, the deepest part of the Void of this universe was probably not as simple as the place where the Creator had left. Perhaps the Creator had left something there.
Roy had heard the term ‘Legacy of the Creator’ many times, but in fact, the ones he had found were basically useless things, for example, the steles of the Demon Bible. So far, he had not found the exact use of these Demon Bible steles, so he had placed a few of them in the system s.p.a.ce to collect dust.
If it were really a Legacy of the Creator like the Demon Bible, then there was no reason why the Abyss demons that Elune had observed entering this universe would tirelessly pursue it…
Recalling Benia’s advancement, where she had been pulled into the ruins of a Holy Light domain and found the remains of angel writing, in addition to the disappearance of the Seven Demon Kings of the Abyss and the Seven Archangels of the Garden of Eden except for Michael and Gabriel, Roy couldn’t help speculating.
The father that Lilith missed so much, the Creator who had created the Infinite Worlds, had indeed left this universe. But he might have stayed in the deepest part of the Void for a while before leaving and even left behind a ‘last residence’.
The Creator might have very well created this universe because races such as t.i.tans and dragons were all of the same origin as the races in other worlds.
In that case, if he had really left something important behind before leaving, it was possible that it was in this ‘last residence’, or in layman’s terms, this important thing might be related to the ‘power of the Creator’. Otherwise, angels and demons wouldn’t flock to it so eagerly.
But from the looks of it, this residence was in the deepest part of the Void, and the endless Void World served as a barrier that blocked the footsteps of the seekers.
Roy guessed that the Holy Light domain that Benia had entered when she advanced should have been created by the angels of Eden who first arrived in this universe. He didn’t know if the people who had led these angels were the Archangels. But judging from the traces of the battle in the ruins, they must have been attacked by demons later, and the winners might be the Deadly Sin Demon Kings of the Abyss.
The Deadly Sin Demon Kings had defeated the angels of Eden, but in the end, when they were searching for the last residence of the Creator, they lost themselves in the Void. Even though the Deadly Sin Demon Kings had unparalleled power, they didn’t have any means to resist the corrosion of Void energy. As a result, as they wandered in the endless Void, they were eventually corroded and a.s.similated by the Void. Although Lilith was also searching for traces of the Creator, she had started late and was more cautious. She had used her clones to search for methods to resist Void energy in various worlds. It wasn’t until she discovered Roy’s existence in the Darksiders world and observed the possibilities of his future in the River of Time that she had decisively taken action and gotten him to take away her Red Sea Egg. Finally, she had obtained a seed of Chaos power.
The unique nature of Chaos power was the guarantee that living beings wouldn’t be corroded by the Void in the Void World. If there was anyone with the highest chance of success in the pursuit of the Creator, then it was naturally Lilith.
So, when Elune said that what he was looking for was no longer there, did she mean that Lilith had already taken it away?
Roy felt that this was unlikely because he clearly remembered that it was already after the Dark Portal era when Lilith brought him into this universe. And now? It was only the War of the Ancients, and there were still more than 10,000 years before the Dark Portal era. It was impossible for Lilith to succeed at this time, right?
Of course, Lilith had the power of time. Perhaps she had not obtained anything after entering this world more than 10,000 years later, so it was possible for her to travel through time and s.p.a.ce to get the item earlier. But Roy felt that the nostalgia she displayed for the Creator was not fake. There was a possibility that she coveted the Creator’s power, but it wasn’t high, so he felt that Lilith could not have taken this item away.
Moreover, this item was very likely not related to the power of the Creator. It might be something left behind by the Creator to fight against the Void. After all, judging from Gabriel’s situation in the Garden of Eden, Eden had always been dedicated to solving the problem of Void corrosion. It was the same for the Abyss. When it came to fighting against the Void, the angels and demons actually had the same position.
The corrosion of the Void had already appeared in the Infinite Worlds. The only difference was that some worlds suffered a greater impact, and some worlds suffered a lesser impact. The existence of the Void threatened the foundation of the Infinite Worlds.
Roy speculated on these situations based on some of the clues he had. Although there might be some deviations, he felt that he guessed most of it right. But the more he thought about it, the more his head hurt. If his speculations were true, then there might be more than the Seven Deadly Sin Demon Kings among the Void Lords. There might even be a few Archangels from the Garden of Eden. As for how many, Roy couldn’t estimate it.
In other words, the power of the Void was probably far greater and more terrifying than anyone imagined…
If Roy were still the little demon struggling to survive in the Abyss, then these things would naturally have nothing to do with him. But now that his strength had reached this level, these things were naturally related to him because, with his long lifespan, he would one day face the threat of the Void.
Therefore, for a moment, Roy experienced Sargeras’s sense of urgency…
After forcibly throwing these emotions out of his mind, Roy recalled what Elune had said just now. Although she had told him on the surface that the item no longer existed, in fact, if he thought about it carefully, she should be stopping him from wanting to enter the Void. The power of the Void was already very powerful. If Roy fell to the Void like his former compatriots, wouldn’t there be another monstrous lord in the Void?
Hmm, it seems like Elune really knows something about the Void… Roy rubbed his demon horns. She also said that her body has been destroyed and can’t appear in the real world… Then, is it possible that her body was destroyed when exploring the Void? The Void World and the real world are opposites… What was the great accident that destroyed her body? An unprecedented Void storm? Also, if her body was really destroyed in the Void, where is her remaining consciousness? Is it also in the Void?
d.a.m.n! Thinking of this, Roy suddenly gasped. Even though Elune is a true G.o.d, her consciousness should have stayed in the Void for a long time… She shouldn’t have become another Void Lord, right?!
The repercussions of this guess were very bad, and even Roy didn’t dare to continue thinking about it.
Of course, judging from Elune’s current actions, even if her consciousness were really stuck in the Void, it would probably be fine for a short time. On the bright side, she might just be trapped. Then, judging from how she was actively showing her presence everywhere in the universe, creating naaru, and selecting ‘chosen ones’ from her believers, she was likely making arrangements. In addition to dealing with possible disasters in the universe, these arrangements might also be to find someone to save her or a way for her to save herself.
Roy remembered that when the t.i.tans of the Pantheon transformed the world of Azeroth, they had left five holy relics for the keepers of this world to help them reorganize the world order. These five holy relics were also known as the Pillars of Creation. In addition to the four being related to the t.i.tans of the Pantheon, the last one was the so-called ‘Tears of Elune’!
Putting aside the interactions between Elune and the t.i.tans of the Pantheon, the ‘Tears of Elune’ was not an item related to Elune, nor was it her equipment or weapon. But it was a teardrop of Elune. This was a little intriguing.
Why did Elune shed this tear? Was it because of her compa.s.sion as a G.o.ddess? Of course, this was impossible. The t.i.tans of the Pantheon were reorganizing the order of the world of Azeroth. Why should she be compa.s.sionate at this time?
Roy believed that this might be the tear that Elune shed because she was lonely from being trapped in the Void, surrounded by the endless Void… This might be the origin of the first drop of the Tears of Elune…
While Roy’s imagination was running wild, a voice came from the side, waking him up. He looked down and found that Tyrande had woken up.
After Elune blocked her consciousness, she had collapsed to the floor. After getting up, she had a blank expression on her face. But then she remembered Elune’s arrival and immediately looked up at the sky. Roy had repaired the roof, making Tyrande unsure if what she had seen earlier was an illusion or real.
Fortunately, Roy was beside her. After Tyrande returned to her senses, she asked him anxiously, “Where is Elune?! Tell me that what I saw wasn’t an illusion!”
“It wasn’t an illusion, but Elune already left!” Roy didn’t hide it from her and nodded.
Hearing this, Tyrande looked disappointed. The G.o.ddess she believed in had descended, but she didn’t allow her to listen to the conversation between the G.o.ddess and demon. This made her feel that she had missed the best opportunity to listen to an oracle.
Roy didn’t care about what she was thinking. The amount of information he had obtained today was a little too much, and he wanted to go back and digest it properly, so he turned around to leave.
But this action immediately alarmed Tyrande, and she blurted out, “Wait… wait! Osiris, what did Her Grace Elune say to you?!”
“It isn’t something you should know!” Roy turned around and grinned. “But don’t worry. Your G.o.ddess personally asked me to let you go, and I will definitely honor her request. However… I can’t let you go directly, but I won’t let other demons hara.s.s you. As for how you escape in the end, I won’t care.”
“Is that so, Elune… Thank you for your gift…” Tyrande bowed to the moonlight outside the window, her face full of excitement and admiration. But this emotion was directed at Elune, not Roy.
This action made Roy feel a little disdainful. Elune has already left, so no matter how you thank her, she can’t hear it now… But he didn’t say anything. After thinking about it, he took out a banana and threw it to Tyrande. “Right, this is for you. Take it!”
Tyrande picked up the banana and asked curiously, “What is this? I don’t need food…”
“It’s not for you to eat. It’s for you to use!” Roy revealed a strange grin. “Your G.o.ddess foresaw your future. Although you have chosen Malfurion Stormrage as your love, you won’t be able to be with him for a long time. In order to relieve your loneliness, she bestowed you with this banana… As for how to use it, you’ll understand in the future…”
With that, Roy turned around and left under Tyrande’s dumbfounded expression.
Tyrande held the banana and looked left and right. She was at a loss and muttered to himself, “A banana bestowed by Elune? Is… is this true?”
Tyrande’s intuition told her that this sounded completely unreliable. Especially when Roy’s wild laughter came from outside, she was even more unwilling to believe it.
But… but… what if it’s true?
It’s something personally bestowed by Elune. Tyrande fell into a dilemma. She wanted to ask through prayer, but she was also worried. What did Elune and Demon Osiris talk about earlier? What if it was something she couldn’t hear? What if she got angry if she asked?
After thinking about it, Tyrande finally hid this banana in her clothes and decided to keep it regardless of whether it was true or false.
But what she didn’t know was that she would keep it for more than 10,000 years…
