"What does she want to do? Does she want to die?" Fury could not help ridiculing as she watched Jeanne approaching Jubileus. "Does she think that she's stronger than us Four Horsen of the Apocalypse and can break through the blockade to approach her?"
Rodin grinned. "So, it's up to you guys to cover her!"
Without waiting for Fury to continue asking questions, Rodin explained, "Balder and Bayonetta fused into Jubileus's body because the power of the Right Eye of Light and the Left Eye of Darkness that they carry combined into the Eyes of the World. The Eyes of the World provide imnse energy to the just recovered Jubileus, but this doesn't an that the souls of Balder and Bayonetta have also completely fused into Jubileus's soul… The souls of mortals can't fuse with the souls of gods. Their souls and consciousness are only temporarily residing in her body. Of course, this kind of resident can affect Jubileus's judgnt to a certain extent. After all, her soul isn't in a complete state, which is why Balder's will can affect her actions.
"Since Balder's soul and consciousness still exist, then Bayonetta's also exist. However, her soul and consciousness may have fallen into a deep sleep!" Rodin took a puff of his cigar. "Jeanne is Bayonetta's good friend, and she's also an Umbra Witch. She has co into contact with the power of the Left Eye of Darkness, so she can sense Bayonetta's position in Jubileus's body. With this connection, she might be able to awaken Bayonetta and pull her out of Jubileus's body!"
Roy and the others imdiately understood.
Jubileus had been asleep for thousands of years, and because of the missing portion of her soul, it was impossible for her to have such great power after waking up under normal circumstances. But because the Eyes of the World were supplying energy to her, she could achieve this shocking act of rging worlds. If Jeanne could awaken Bayonetta and pull her out, it ant that the Left Eye of Darkness would also be taken out of her body.
At that ti, with only Balder's Right Eye of Light left, the Eyes of the World would no longer be able to play a role, and it would naturally not be able to provide Jubileus with imnse energy. The fusion process of the worlds would also inevitably be obstructed.
This was the best way to weaken Jubileus…
"If Jubileus is weakened, in addition to what you said earlier about the fallen angel with her soul fragnt appearing in Heaven from the Demon World, will there be a higher chance of success in that instant?" Rodin grinned.
The Four Horsen of the Apocalypse looked at each other and then at Roy, who was deep in thought. After they heard this, their hearts could not help but palpitate.
But Roy was still very calm. He stared at Rodin and asked, "Rodin, it's said that you were once an angel. Now, you're deliberately helping us murder an Archangel, but I don't hear anything beneficial to you from your words. I don't believe that you're so kind."
Rodin laughed out loud. "There are so things that don't necessarily have to be beneficial to . You can take it that I don't like the world after fusion. To , the World of the Trinity is bullshit. As long as I can stop the plans of Heaven, I'll be very happy."
"Okay. Then I'll believe you once!" Roy nodded and looked at the Four Horsen.
Looking at Roy's gaze, Death was silent for a mont before saying to him, "Let's give it a try. It's best to be able to kill her, but if it's impossible, we won't continue. The Four Horsen of the Apocalypse aren't your goons. No matter what, we've already worked hard, and we'll treat it as fulfilling Fury and your agreent. Understood?"
"No problem!" Roy nodded. This was indeed the case. He could not expect the Four Horsen to fight to the death here in order to fulfill their promise to him, right?
After receiving Roy's assurance, the Four Horsen once again summoned their warhorses and jumped into the sky from Rafaro's back. The four magical horses neighed and carried them as they galloped in the sky.
Seeing the Four Horsen controlling their horses to avoid the teors and approaching Jubileus with their superb riding skills, Roy took a deep breath and asked Rafaro, "Haven't you detected it yet?"
"I've detected it. The outline of Mundus's Demon King City is faintly appearing in the southeast. The space there is rging!" Rafaro replied. "If the two mistresses appear, it's definitely there!"
"Go!" Roy shouted to Rafaro. Rafaro imdiately twisted his body and flew southeast at high speed.
Rodin's voice ca from behind. "Don't you care about Sparda and the others?"
"It's no problem for them to protect themselves!" Roy said without looking back. "Leave the battle to the Four Horsen. I only need to ensure that Julia won't be approached by Jubileus. As for you, Rodin, are you planning to follow ?"
"Don't be so heartless…" Rodin grinned. "I'm just curious. If the Horsen can really help you kill Jubileus, then what will you do with her divine spark?"
"What? You want Jubileus's divine spark?" Roy finally turned his head back to look at Rodin when he heard this.
"Of course not!" Rodin shook his head. "Jubileus's divine spark is useless to ."
"Is that so?" Roy revealed a sinister smirk. "Let guess. As a demon, you don't want a divine spark when it appears in front of you. There are only three reasons. The first is that you're not that greedy. Of course, this is impossible. I'm very clear about the nature of demons. The second is that you can't fuse with Jubileus's divine spark, so it's useless even if you obtain it. This possibility is there, but it doesn't seem very likely. As for the last reason, it's that… you don't need a divine spark anymore… Am I right, Your Excellency Rodin?"
"…" The smile on Rodin's face stiffened for a mont but then imdiately returned to normal. After a long ti, he said, "How did you see it?"
"I can't see it, and I also couldn't tell!" Roy shook his head. "The aura on you is indeed at the demon lord level, but even Sparda, I, and the other demon lords find the scene caused by Jubileus very troubleso. On the other hand, you still seem calm. This makes have to guess that even if the twin worlds really beco one, it won't affect you, right?"
"…" Rodin did not say anything. This attitude was equivalent to silent agreent.
Roy smiled. "Then, Your Excellency Rodin, who are you? There aren't many demon kings in the Abyss, and I've never heard of your na. Is your real na Lucifer or Samael? Or is it Leviathan? Mammon?"
"No, no. I'm not a clone of the Deadly Sin Demon Kings!" Rodin waved his hand.
"Oh?" Roy was slightly surprised. He had initially guessed that Rodin was most likely a clone that Samael had left in this world. After all, Samael had appeared in this world once and sneak attacked Jubileus and took away a portion of her soul fragnts. It made sense if he had left a clone.
Rodin did not answer, and his figure gradually beca blurry. It seed that he was planning to leave. But before he left, he suddenly showed a aningful smile and whispered, "If you want to, then you can call phisto… Young Demon Osiris, maybe we'll et again…"
His figure completely disappeared, but the words he left behind stunned Roy for a long ti.
Roy's guess was totally wrong earlier. Rodin's true body was actually… phisto?!
Of course, Roy was certainly not unfamiliar with this na. In fact, he had seen the na phisto many tis in the information he collected about powerful demons.
If the famous Seven Deadly Sin Demon Kings were considered the first-generation demon kings of the Abyss and the Ancestral Demon Kings, then phisto was a second-generation demon king of the Abyss. Moreover, he was considered one of the best among the second-generation demon kings because his na had already spread widely in many worlds. It could be said that his fa was second only to the Deadly Sin Demon Kings.
Roy had guessed before that among the worlds connected to the Infinite Worlds, there might still be the Marvel world, the Diablo world, and so on[1]. But he did not expect to et phisto so soon. This showed that his guess was true. The Marvel world and the Diablo world definitely existed because phisto was the most famous demon king in these two worlds.
Of course, Rodin might only be a clone of phisto and not his true body, but this was enough to shock Roy.
In his shock, Roy could not help but think of what Rodin said as he left: "We'll et again!"
What does this an? phisto has his eyes on ? Or is he planning to talk to after the matter with Jubileus is over?
Roy's imagination ran wild for a while, causing his head to ache. Fortunately, at this mont, Rafaro reminded him, and he finally restrained his thoughts.
Julia, Benia, and the others appeared, and they were indeed near Demon King City. Not only them, but Sareth, Cassandra, and Fat Tiger were also there. It seed that after withdrawing to the Demon World, they had not disbanded the Demon World army and were still preparing to counterattack. But because Jubileus had begun to rge the two twin worlds, they did not know what had happened while in the Demon World. They were at a loss for a while after suddenly appearing in Heaven again and seeing the catastrophic scene of the doomsday apocalypse.
Before they were hit by teors, Roy brought them onto Rafaro's back. But he was helpless regarding the demon army. He could only leave them exposed to the falling stars and watch as they were bombarded by teors and turned into ashes.
"Darling, what happened?!" Julia lay on Rafaro's back in panic and asked helplessly, "Why did we appear in Heaven again?"
"Jubileus did it!" Roy replied simply and looked in the distance at Jubileus.
Julia has already reappeared here, so next, Jubileus should sense her existence, right? Hopefully, the Four Horsen of the Apocalypse can seize this opportunity…
