Chapter 493 - 493: What Did Lilith See Back Then?

Benia was right. If Julia had rushed forward rashly just now, she and Roy might have been finished.
Fortunately, the calmer Benia had stopped her…
To be honest, Roy had not expected the Void to appear suddenly at this time. Unlike Benia’s understanding, in Roy’s understanding of Void power, it was not so easy for the Void to corrode a world. Even though his method of tearing apart two spatial bubbles was a little rough, the same held true.
Void power was a chaotic and violent power dedicated to turning material worlds into nothingness. It was the common enemy of all material worlds. It sounded terrifying, but in reality…
The Void power that Roy had seen and come into contact with all manifested in the forms of creatures or objects that corroded and infected material worlds. Then these infected people would accelerate the destruction and ruin of the material worlds. Even in the Darksiders world, the Void rift in Demon King Samael’s city was only devouring the space where the demon king city was little by little and did not destroy it all at once. This showed that this power had a special inertia!
It was precisely because of this special inertia that most worlds could exist safely.
The Void was like a piece of paper, or rather, a black background board. The Infinite Worlds, as well as the universes and spaces that contained them, were all depicted on this background board. Only when the universes and spaces of the worlds were damaged could the black color on the background board be seen, exposing the existence of the Void.
Roy’s mind thought of all these thoughts in an instant, so he did not panic too much. Instead, he immediately mobilized all his magic power to protect himself while observing the Void power swarming out through the divine spark eye.
Without a doubt, Void power, which was like black lightning, was now trying to corrode him and infect the creatures of the material world to allow Void power to continue existing in the material world. If he was really completely corroded, he would immediately transform into a Void creature. In fact, with his current rank, he would become a Void Lord and then directly devour these two twin worlds…
Fortunately, this corrosion did not happen overnight, so it naturally gave Roy a chance to catch his breath.
Roy was now facing two choices. One was to give up on continuing to separate
the two Purgatory Spaces and immediately escape to return to the Abyss. But the consequence of doing so was that this Void rift would never close. It would continuously spray out Void power to corrupt and corrode the two Purgatory Spaces and then continue spreading toward the human worlds.
The other choice was to resist the corrosion of Void power and restore the two Purgatory Spaces to normal as soon as possible. This way, the spatial storm would calm down, and the torn Void rift would gradually heal and completely close the channel for Void power to escape. The consequence of this choice was that if Roy could not withstand the corrosion of Void power, he might become corrupted because of it.
Demons would not even need to think about it. They would just directly make the first choice. Roy also thought so too. His safety was first, and there was no need to fight hard for these two worlds.
But just as he was about to withdraw, Roy suddenly felt all the magic power circuits in his body throbbing.
With a thought, Roy temporarily stopped evacuating and quickly began to carefully sense the magic power circuits in his body.
He did not forget what Lilith had once said. Only Chaos power could resist Void power!
During his time in the Abyss, Roy had been thinking about this problem. He felt that Lilith’s words had a reason. If Void power represented ‘nothing’, then elemental power represented ‘exists’!
Among the many theories of magic, the elements were the foundation of a material world. This was widely recognized. No matter how special a material was, it could not escape the evolution of the elements. A single element might only represent a part of the material world, but if all the elements could be gathered, they would represent a complete material world. This was the theoretical basis of Chaos power.
However, it might be easy to separate Chaos power, but it was more difficult to gather it back together. Ever since Roy opened the magic power circuits of all the elements, he had been thinking of ways to fuse these circuits. But he did not know what went wrong. He could now use various elemental magic individually and also cast some mixed elemental magic. But he had never been able to use magic that was a combination of all the elements.
After so many years without any progress, Roy could not help wondering if the so-called Chaos power really existed.
Only at this moment, when Roy was accidentally exposed in the Void rift and corroded by Void power, did he suddenly understand everything that had happened before!
Back in the Darksiders world, Roy had only been a high-rank demon. Even at his age for a demon, although his strength had indeed increased rapidly, Lilith, as a demon king, should not have taken him seriously.
However, not only had Lilith taken him seriously, but she had even entrusted him with an important task. Not only had she given him a mission to get the Red Sea Egg, but she had also explained the existence of Chaos Demons to Roy in a good mood.
At the time, Roy did not think too much about it. But now that he thought about it, he suddenly realized that Lilith had probably done this deliberately!
Lilith was a very special existence in many legends. She was the first female demon of the Abyss and the ancestor of the succubi. Not only did she maintain a close relationship with all the demon kings, but she also had rumors with angels. It was said that Demon King Samael was once an angel, and it was precisely because he had married Lilith that he left the Garden of Eden and came to the Abyss to become a demon.
She was regarded as the first wife of Adam, the human ancestor. She was Eve, but she had left the Garden of Eden because she was unhappy with Adam and later became a demoness who tempted humans and killed infants.
In some human folklore, she was the origin of vampires…
There were so many features that it made it impossible to tell what kind of existence Lilith was. But from Roy’s understanding, the Lilith in the Darksiders world was undoubtedly very powerful because she had the ability to control time!
He wondered if she had seen something in the River of Time when she saw him, so she favored him so much…
Now, this doubt became certainty because Roy found that under the immense pressure of the corrosion of Void power, all the magic power circuits in his body began to resist. All the elemental powers in the magic power circuits showed signs of fusing at this moment!
It was not the fusion of one or two, but the fusion of all elements!
No wonder Roy could not fuse all the elements when he tried in the past. It turned out that he lacked special environmental conditions…
He did not intend to run away. He knew that this opportunity was simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The exposed Void rift was not huge, and the Void power swarming out was not at a level that he could not resist. Once he missed it, he might never encounter such unique environmental conditions again.
Therefore, Roy gritted his teeth and braced himself, desperately urging the magic power circuits in his body to circulate. He did not care even though his entire body was aching crazily. Instead, his eyes revealed a fanatical look.
“Come on, Lilith!” Roy said to himself with difficulty. “If you really saw what happened to me in the River of Time, it means that I definitely have a chance of success! Otherwise, you wouldn’t have said those things to me in the first place!”
Roy did not understand what Lilith, a prophet who could observe the future, had seen, but he felt that there were probably countless possibilities. Just like how Doctor Strange had found the only choice to defeat Thanos in the millions of possibilities, Roy felt that Lilith must have seen a similar scene where he successfully defeated the Void’s corrosion and obtained Chaos power.
What Roy wanted to do was to make this scene a reality!
Black lightning enveloped his entire body and violently shot terrifying distorted scenes in all directions. The distant Sparda and the others were already dumbfounded. They could no longer see Roy’s figure and could only see an enormous black plasma ball floating there. The auras of endless madness and destruction constantly spread out from this black ball, and the omnipresent gentle holy light in Heaven was swept clean by these auras.
“If… I mean if…” Dante swallowed hard. “If Osiris is devoured by that Void power, does it mean that the apocalypse is coming? ”
“That’s right!” Benia looked at him and said coldly, “The apocalypse! You, me, us, and even everything in these two twin worlds will be completely erased. There will be no more information about us in the universe and the Infinite
Worlds, as though we had never existed…”
“How terrifying!” After Sareth heard this, his face was full of horror. He could not imagine that scene at all, and he could only use this word to describe his current mood.
Benia rubbed Sareth’s head and comforted him. “Don’t worry. At least when we disappear, it might not hurt too much.. We will cease to exist in the blink of an eye…”
