Chapter 696: Elune’s Body
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After hearing what Lilith said, Roy sighed for the Deadly Sin Demon Kings. But after thinking about it carefully, he could actually understand their choice.
Let’s not talk about ambition first. In fact, if demons below the demon king level were still thinking about seizing souls and having thoughts about destroying worlds, then after reaching the Deadly Sin level, these thoughts would naturally fade away. After all, with the power of the Deadly Sin level, it was very easy to destroy a planet or a world.
For many things, the simpler and the easier they were to complete, the faster people would lose interest. So, in Roy’s opinion, as time pa.s.sed, the Deadly Sin existences would inevitably be attracted to another matter.
This matter was about the high-dimensional world! After reaching the Deadly Sin level, people could basically see some higher-dimensional powers. This unknown high-dimensional world would fascinate anyone.
Therefore, it was logical for the Deadly Sin Demon Kings to pursue a higher power…
This was actually the inevitable result of development. But from the looks of it, the Creator didn’t seem to want the species he created to be too obsessed with power, so he had set this Promised Land to have the effect of ‘s.h.i.+elding from ambitious people’.
In fact, placing this place in the Void was to stop those people.
Unfortunately, people pursuing the power of the Creator still appeared one after another. Be it demons or angels, from the moment they coveted the authority of creation, the drive of desire would not let them stop. So in the end, they became lost in the Void.
“So, how many unlucky fellows fell in the Void?” Roy asked Lilith.
“Thirteen!” Lilith gave an accurate answer.
Roy was shocked. This number exceeded his expectations, and he couldn’t help saying in surprise, “Why are there so many? I calculated. Even if the Seven Demon Kings of the Abyss collectively fell, and the rest of Eden fell apart from Michael and Gabriel, there are only twelve in total. Why is there one more?”
“You are wrong. There are only six Demon Kings who have fallen in the Void from the Abyss. Samael’s true body hasn’t entered the Void!” Lilith said. “That guy is smarter than you think. He realized the danger of the Void, so he was very cautious and didn’t enter… In fact, in the world where you encountered him, the Samael you saw was his true body!”
Roy was stunned. “The one in the Darksiders world is actually Samael’s true body?! I always thought that he was a clone…”
“How can you distinguish between true and false sometimes?” Lilith said in amus.e.m.e.nt. “After all, it’s soul division. All memories are the same. As long as he wants to, any one of them can be his true body.”
“That’s true…” Roy knew that Lilith was right. He had long seen the disadvantages of clones. But he had never thought of a trick like Samael’s to deceive people. Perhaps this was the strategy he used when fighting against angels, but even demons were confused.
After calculating, Roy asked, “Since there are only six in the Abyss, where did the two extra come from?”
“The other two are the existences in this universe!” Lilith explained. “They are the lives created by the Creator when he first entered this universe. Here, they seem to be called First Ones…”
Roy was even more surprised. “First Ones?! They’ve also become Void Lords?!”
Of course, Roy knew who the First Ones were. There was still a special holy land in the Shadowlands, and the Eternals of the Shadowlands called it the Sepulcher of the First Ones. At first, Roy thought that since it was a cemetery, did this mean that the First Ones had died? But after hearing what Lilith said, he realized that they had also become Void Lords! This was simply… unimaginable!
“These two might not be coveting the power of the Creator. It might have been because they wanted to study and explore the Void!” Lilith said. “In any case, this universe is the area where the Void leaks the most to the Infinite Worlds. They might have thought that the Creator left a way to deal with the Void catastrophe, so they wanted to find it…”
“Is that so…” Roy nodded. This possibility was not impossible.
After returning to his senses, he sighed at Lilith. “Thirteen Void Lords, thirteen apostles of the Void… What a disaster. Speaking of which, when they discovered something was wrong, didn’t they think of leaving the Void in time?”
However, a sly light flashed in Lilith’s golden eyes as she winked at Roy. “Then, have you ever thought that they might have deliberately not left?”
“They voluntarily threw themselves into the embrace of the Void?” Roy was stunned. “What kind of logic is that?”
“Nothing is certain.” Lilith stood up. “You and I aren’t them, so we can’t know their ideas. Perhaps in their opinion, the Void destroying the real world is an irreversible cycle of reincarnation? Since they can’t stop it, why don’t they throw themselves into the embrace of the Void first? This way, after the reincarnation is complete, won’t they still be able to survive and continue to become existences standing at the top of the universe and the Infinite Worlds?”
“Irreversible reincarnation?” Roy frowned. “Is that really the case?”
Lilith shook her head. “I don’t know either. But when my father… the Creator was still around, he did indeed have similar sighs. The general meaning is that the Void is the background of the real world and can’t be eliminated or exist in isolation. Perhaps one day, when this piece of paper that is the real world is full of drawings, it will have to be erased and redrawn… After all, they have all been by the Creator’s side, so they must have heard similar words. I don’t know if they heard wrongly or misunderstood the meaning of the words. In short, in their minds, the reincarnation of the Void and reality is inevitable.
“If not for such thoughts, they wouldn’t have thrown themselves into the embrace of the Void…” Lilith concluded.
“So, is there still a solution to the corrosion of the Void?” Roy asked.
“Of course there’s a solution, and there always has been!” Lilith spread her hands at Roy. “Have you forgotten that even Eden can use the power of Holy Light to eliminate the Void? How can there be no solution? But these methods can only be regarded as treating the symptoms but not the root cause.”
“So, it still has to be Chaos power?” Roy asked thoughtfully. “Is this why you called me here?”
Lilith nodded. “If the Void represents nothing, which represents zero, then Chaos power represents existence, which represents one. As long as Chaos power begins to spread in the Infinite Worlds, it will gradually stop the corrosion of the Void. Finally, the Void and reality will reach a balance. At that time, the number of worlds in the Infinite Worlds will no longer expand, and the corrosion of the Void will no longer expand. This is the true solution to the root cause.”
“Did you see the scene of me becoming the birthplace of Chaos force in the River of Time?” Roy asked with a strange expression.
“Yes. Follow me!” Lilith waved over Roy. Under her lead, he followed her out from the back of the small wooden house and saw a beautiful garden. There were many flowers in this garden, but in the middle of the garden was a large white flower bud. The petals of the bud were closed together and slowly swaying in the breeze.
Lilith led him through the garden and walked all the way to the large bud. She stretched out her hand and gently touched the top of the bud. Then the bud slowly opened.
It was fine for the bud to open, but what surprised Roy was that there was a ‘person’ lying inside it!
This ‘person’ was about a 1.67-meter tall woman. She had her arms crossed in front of her chest and was quietly lying in the bud with her eyes closed. The stamens in the bud curved to form a small bed to hold her up. She wasn’t breathing, but her body had not lost its vitality.
Roy walked closer to observe and found that this woman didn’t seem to be a naturally born life. There were some artificial traces on her body. Her hair was silver-white, and she was wearing a white robe in a style that Roy had never seen before. Her face was very beautiful, and her ears were pointed, making her look like an elf.
“Who is this?” Roy asked curiously. “Isn’t this the Promised Land? Why did this woman appear? Moreover, it seems like it’s just a body, and her soul isn’t in her body…”
But Lilith’s following words shocked Roy!
“She… seems to be called… Elune? It’s this name… That’s right!”
“Elune???!!!” Roy lost his composure. “Isn’t she a G.o.d of this universe?! Why is she here?”
Lilith explained, “In fact, I was very surprised when I found that I wasn’t the first to arrive here… But this child seems to have found this place by mistake!”
“How is that possible?! When I came in earlier, I used a Demon Bible stele as the key to open the barrier outside!” Roy said in disbelief. “No matter how many accidents she had, how could she have come in?!”
“But that’s what happened!” Lilith shrugged. “This child does have a key. When I found her, she was lying collapsed on the ground in the wooden house. At the time, I felt a very faint trace of the aura of the Abyss on her. I think that it should be evidence that she had obtained a key. Unfortunately, after opening the barrier, the key disappeared.”
“You’re saying that she possessed a Demon Bible stele?” Roy calmed down. From what Lilith said, he suddenly thought of the Holy Light s.p.a.ce that Benia had entered when she advanced. There were traces of war everywhere.
If the Eternal War between angels and demons had broken out in that place, then there might really be a Demon Bible stele left…
From this, Roy thought of another clue—the existence of the naaru!
It was said that Elune had created the naaru. Although the naaru were in the form of geometric shapes, in any case, traces of angels could still be found in their forms, such as angel crowns and structures that looked like small wings.
Elune was in human form. Even if she created creatures, there was a high chance that she would create them in her own likeness. How could she create creatures with strange forms like naaru?
Unless Elune copied some template and added a little imagination to create the naaru…
Therefore, Roy concluded that Elune might have reached the s.p.a.ce that Benia had discovered, albeit likely much earlier. At that time, the angels and demons who had died in the war might not have completely weathered away, and some forms could still be seen. But Elune, who had discovered the angels and demons, probably didn’t know what kind of creatures they were. After all, the Creator had not created angels and demons in this universe.
Therefore, out of curiosity and research purposes, Elune might have picked up the corpses left by angels and demons or the remaining soul fragments!
But in her subsequent research, she might have accidentally pieced together the corpses and soul fragments of angels and demons, ultimately leading to the birth of the naaru…
Roy speculated with his imagination running wild. At the same time, he suddenly understood why creatures like naaru would suddenly become dark creatures after exhausting their Holy Light. It made sense if naaru were a combination of angels and demons!
Roy thought in surprise, F*ck! It’s true! Those naaru are basically the nephalem of this universe!
