Chapter 155 - Breakthrough Point
Chapter 155 Breakthrough Point
Roy felt that the information he learned from Julia was very precious! In fact, although Roy had promoted to high-rank demon, he was a little confused about his future path. He knew that above high-rank demon was demon lord and demon king, but he did not know how to improve further.
He knew that he needed more ‘cannon fodder’ if he wanted to become stronger, but the frost demon bloodline only gave him a single elemental power. Perhaps if he continued to focus on this path, he would also be able to attain great achievements, but who knew how long it would take.
Thinking about how he might need thousands of years, turning into a very old demon, before he became a demon lord and demon king made Roy feel unbearable.
This was not because he was short-sighted and eager for quick success, but because there were too many things that could happen in these thousands of years. Even Samael’s demon king incarnation could be sealed, so who could guarantee that he would not die midway?
Although his body had become a long-lived race like demons, Roy still retained human thoughts, and his ideas were naturally in line with the thinking of the short-lived species. He was used to achieving his ideas as soon as possible. The term chaos demon mentioned by Julia allowed Roy to see a new promotion path and possibility, which naturally aroused his thoughts. If he remembered correctly, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse had a ‘Chaos Form’ power. Although this form lasted only for a very short time, once they used this power, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse could be said to be invincible!
This Chaos Form should be brought about by the nephilim bloodline, the combination of angel and demon bloodlines. If the nephilim were really created by the Mad Queen Lilith, then they were very likely the products born when Lilith experimented with creating chaos demons!
What was certain was that the nephilim should not be what Lilith wanted because they were not demons, and they even left Lilith’s control in the end.
Chaos, what kind of power was it? Roy did not know, but since even a demon king like Lilith was sparing no effort in pursuing this chaos power, it was definitely unique. Roy did not know how Lilith had merged the two opposing bloodlines of angel and demon. But he felt that if he truly wanted to obtain other powers, Lilith’s experimental data would certainly be of help to him!
Of course, Roy had the system, and he could use the system’s power to help him complete a similar bloodline power fusion. But the price he would need to pay was too great. Roy needed a lot of souls in many ways, and he was now feeling that he was a little short in supply!
It was like manufacturing a car. If Roy produced all the parts of the car himself, it would be too complicated. However, if he could obtain the required parts from other sources and only needed to complete the final assembly, it would be much simpler to produce… If Lilith’s experimental data could help him reduce some of his soul consumption, then it would be best to get it…
When Julia had mentioned seeking help from Lilith earlier, Roy was thousands of times unwilling. But now that he heard that Lilith might have experimental data on merging opposite bloodlines, Roy began to waver.
Maybe I can really go?
However, to deal with big shots like demon kings, he required a perfect breakthrough point. Otherwise, if he accidentally messed up the plans of the big shots, good things would turn into bad things…
Roy needed some time to get a clear picture of the situation, so he had been protecting Julia and allowing her to recuperate quietly. To Roy, Julia was a key figure. She was a personal guard of Samael, and since she knew about the existence of Lilith, it meant that she had seen Lilith. If Roy wanted to deal with a big shot like the Mad Queen Lilith, then Julia was indispensable. She would become Roy’s important connection to win Lilith’s trust.
If he wanted to learn about how Lilith had fused the angel and demon bloodlines, it was absolutely impossible to snatch it forcibly, and stealing had no success rate. Therefore, the best way was to obtain it through rewards. It was best to obtain huge merit and then ask Lilith for these materials as a reward when he met her.
The possibility of this working was still there, but the chances were relatively low. Regardless, Roy still wanted to try.
During his free time, Roy was pondering about how to get involved in this matter.
He could go with Julia to report to Lilith about Samael being sealed. Although he could see Lilith this way, he absolutely could not do so. If the matter about Samael being sealed was really a part of the scheme planned by these two demon kings, then not only would Julia not be rewarded for her loyalty, but she might instead end up unlucky. Either Lilith would imprison her on account of her loyalty to prevent her from causing trouble, or she would be ruthless enough to kill Julia directly to prevent her from doing any possible reckless actions in the future.
Therefore, Roy was in a slightly difficult position at the moment. He naturally knew that if there was nothing unexpected, Samael and Lilith’s plan was definitely targeting the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the Charred Council. However, the plan was certainly quite secretive, and perhaps only the two demon kings knew. Roy and Julia were only high-rank demons, and they could only see through it but not expose it, having to pretend that they did not know.
Since he could not report this, what excuse should he use to get close to Lilith?
Perhaps it was a good idea to use the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Since they were nephilim, the race Lilith created, maybe Lilith would be interested in their affairs?
But what should he do? Putting aside whether Roy could find the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse… Huh?! Wait!
Roy suddenly realized that he did not need to persist in looking for Lilith! If he wanted to know how she merged the two bloodlines of angel and demon, why not just ask the nephilim directly?!
As the parties involved, would they not even know the origin of their race? The nephilim were also long-lived creatures, and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse had lived almost since the birth of the nephilim. Perhaps they had even witnessed how the other members of their race were born!
Moreover, even if they did not know how Lilith had created the nephilim, Roy could first get some of their cells to study. For example, he could extract a tube of their blood and then think of a way to use the system to create an analytical instrument to analyze their bloodline… Even if it did not work, he could come back to think of another way to conquer Lilith!
After weighing the options for a while, Roy thought that this idea was quite reliable. A demon king-level big shot like Lilith was really difficult to deal with because you could not fathom the thoughts of a demon. The more ancient a demon was, the more cunning they were. Instead, it was the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. They might have fought against angels and demons, but that was when angels and demons were hostile to them.
This made Roy immediately think about the demon merchant, Vulgrim. Without showing any hostility and being able to help the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, this cunning demon merchant had made deals with almost all the Horsemen of the Apocalypse and obtained their trust.
Perhaps I can imitate Vulgrim and try to come into contact with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?
Hmm… As to what kind of help I can give to the Four Horseman, don’t I have the system? The Four Horsemen have a large number of souls. As long as I can trade with them, the system can create things that they can use, right?
It seemed like he really had to become a fake merchant and compete with Vulgrim for business…
Seriously, when I first came to this world, I tried all means to avoid War of the Four Horsemen. I didn’t expect that it would turn the other way around, and I now have to find a way to get into contact with them. Even Roy felt a little caught off guard by this change…
