Chapter 565: Force Majeure
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
To be honest, Roy didn’t feel much when he first learned about Lilith’s authority. But now that he saw her attack Michael, he realized how powerful and terrifying her authority was.
All life in the Infinite Worlds couldn’t escape reproduction and birth. This was the most important link to the continuation of life. From this, it could be seen that Lilith, who controlled this authority, was probably second only to the Creator!
Although Michael appeared as a male, in fact, angels with bodies of holy light didn’t have gender differences. But Michael, a twelve-winged Genesis Archangel, was actually tricked in front of Lilith and forced to undergo a mitosis-like ‘breeding’ process.
Roy now knew why Gabriel was so timid when facing Lilith. And when Michael and Lilith were arguing, he was still trying to stop Michael… This might be because Lilith had taught him a lesson in this way when he provoked her in Eden..
Fortunately, they were genderless. Otherwise, Roy felt that Lilith wouldn’t mind making them really have a child and experience the feeling of giving birth!
Roy couldn’t help shivering when he thought of Gabriel and Michael with big bellies. Stop, stop. The scene was too terrifying. He didn’t dare to continue thinking about it…
In addition, Roy noticed that when Lilith forcibly separated Michael, his realm seemed to have fallen. This meant that when Michael attacked, not only did Lilith split his body and power, but she even did the same to his soul.
Combined with Lilith’s ritual to restore her power to the Deadly Sin level, Roy realized one thing. At the Deadly Sin level, apart from exceeding at least 666 times the power of a demon king, the integrity of the soul was probably the most important.
Michael’s soul had been separated in half, causing his realm to fall. But this clone of his had only been separated for a short time. If he fused it back as soon as possible, he might be able to restore his Genesis level.
The fusion ritual of the Red Sea Egg had not only fused Lilith’s powers and soul together, but most importantly, it was the perfect and harmonious fusion of many different personalities together. This was the most important function of the Red Sea Egg. But what about the angels and demons without the Red Sea Egg?
What Roy cared about the most was what Lilith had said inadvertently just now. “Don’t you know that the tradition of angels and demons using clones originally came from me?”
There was a huge piece of information hidden in these words. Regardless of whether it was angels or demons, they didn’t seem to have the habit of using clones in the beginning. But perhaps because Lilith had used her reproduction authority to attack angels or demons, it led to clones appearing. Then perhaps because they realized the usefulness of clones, angels and demons began to split their souls to create clones. In addition, the new worlds that kept appearing continuously divided the forces of the two camps, causing the act of ‘using clones’ to become a trend and tradition.
At first glance, it might seem like this tradition was nothing. But in fact, the consequences of this behavior were terrifying. It greatly reduced the number of Genesis (Deadly Sin) existences in both the angel and demon camps! On the side of Heaven, even the soul of a famous Archangel like Gabriel was incomplete, and in all of Eden, only Michael maintained his Genesis realm. On the side of demons, it was even worse. The Deadly Sin Demon Kings like Lucifer and Beelzebub were now hard to see. Samael, a demon king that Roy had seen before, had even fallen to the point of being imprisoned in the Darksiders world.
What caused all of this was only the word ‘clone’…
It would be fine if this was only Lilith’s unconscious action. But if she had done it on purpose, then…
The maternal nature displayed by Lilith was very great. Logically speaking, Roy shouldn’t be using such conspiracy theories to speculate about her, but… don’t forget that there were demons among her clones, quite a few of them at that. In other words, this proved that Lilith had many dark sides, so he couldn’t rule out the possibility of this conspiracy theory.
This woman is really too difficult to guess…
Fortunately, Roy had never had any direct conflicts of interest with Lilith, so the cooperation between the two sides had always been very harmonious. He had helped her a lot, and she had given him a lot in return. Speculation was just speculation. He wouldn’t be so stupid as to ask about this openly. He just had to pretend that he didn’t know.
In any case, what did Lilith deceiving a bunch of existences at the Genesis (Deadly Sin) level have to do with Osiris, the King of Despair? Instead, he had benefited a lot from it, didn’t he?
The Gate of Heaven closed, and Gabriel and Michael escaped back to Eden in a sorry state. They probably wouldn’t dare to come to this world again for a while. Looking at Lilith’s planet-sized body, Roy asked her, “Aren’t you going to shrink yourself? It’s very tiring to talk to you like this.”
It couldn’t be helped. Roy’s body was not even as big as the tip of a strand of Lilith’s hair currently. If not for soul voice transmission, he might not even have been able to communicate with Lilith normally. He would have to be hundreds of kilometers away from her for her to see his existence. He didn’t know what he was like in her eyes, but in his vision, he could only see… an inch of her skin covering the sky.
This situation was too uncomfortable, so Roy didn’t want anything else other than for Lilith to become smaller.
“Wait a moment. Before that, I have one more thing to do! ” Lilith replied.
Perhaps because she had fused with many personalities, Roy felt that she was less gloomy and more cheerful than when she was a demon. When he saw that she was taking action, he simply flew farther away in space and finally saw her overall movements.
Lilith left the moon, waved the twelve different wings behind her, and leaned toward the planet of Sanctuary.
The immense distance of hundreds of thousands of kilometers didn’t pose any obstacles to Lilith at all. She arrived in the blink of an eye. Sanctuary was still slowly rotating, and it was still facing the dark side of the moon. Roy didn’t know how the mortals on the ground felt when they saw such an enormous Lilith, but he could finally tell just how huge she was.
Simply put, Lilith could almost embrace Sanctuary at this moment!
This was a very shocking scene. Roy was certain that the nephalem of Sanctuary wouldn’t forget this scene for thousands of years. They would probably engrave this mythical scene in various murals and historical books and pass them down forever.
Lilith came to Sanctuary, but in fact, she didn’t really come into contact with the planet. Instead, she stopped tens of thousands of kilometers away. Then under Roy’s gaze, she stretched out her right hand, pressed her index finger and thumb together, and gently pinched the sky above the planet!
Lilith picked out a little bug from a spatial fold…
Roy was speechless. From his perspective, she had picked up a little bug, but it was actually a big fellow with a body that was hundreds of kilometers long!
Trag’Oul! Lilith easily caught this immature dragon-shaped world-soul titan from the spatial crevice where he was hiding!
This was the first time Roy had seen Trag’Oul’s true body. He looked like an illusory creature without flesh and blood, and his strange, long dragon-shaped body was emitting dream-like starlight all over. His gigantic body of hundreds of kilometers would have looked colossal on Sanctuary, but in Lilith’s hands, he could only twist desperately like a caterpillar but couldn’t escape her control.
In addition to Trag’Oul, Lilith had also caught Mephisto and the other five demon kings. They were black dots that fell from Trag’Oul like little fleas. They were too far away, so Roy didn’t see them clearly and only recognized them through their auras.
After seeing that Lilith had caught Trag’Oul, Mephisto, and the others, Roy flew over curiously, intending to see what was going on.
The six demon kings were all clones that had separated half of their souls and powers earlier. After being captured by Lilith, Andariel, Duriel, Belial, and Azmodan couldn’t speak when facing Lilith’s colossal body. They were all trembling. Only Mephisto and Baal, despite looking very disheveled, still struggled and tried to communicate with Lilith.
“Your Majesty Lilith, for the sake of us being compatriots of the Abyss, please let us go. I guarantee you that we will never step into this world again!” Mephisto said through soul transmission.
Lilith didn’t say anything. She waited for Roy to fly closer before saying coldly, “Mephisto, you’re really getting worse. You actually reached an asylum agreement with Trag’Oul and hid in his territory? I’m very curious. How did you convince Trag’Oul?”
“This…” Mephisto was a little embarrassed and sighed. “This isn’t considered hiding…”
Roy understood and interrupted, “Mephisto, it seems that you separated yourselves in half and made clones to leave in the Burning Hells not because you thought you couldn’t defeat Lilith and me but because you already saw Lilith return to the Deadly Sin level in the future. Am I right?”
“Yes!” Mephisto gritted his teeth as he looked at Roy. Then he said dejectedly, “I did see this scene, so I suggested doing this. Diablo didn’t listen to me and didn’t choose to create a clone, so Lilith killed him. But I didn’t expect that we still couldn’t escape Lilith’s pursuit…”
Roy nodded. This made sense. After all, with the power of the seven demon kings, they couldn’t be underestimated when they joined forces. If they hadn’t encountered force majeure, Mephisto and the others wouldn’t have adopted this strategy.
Although Roy and Lilith had joined forces at that time, no matter how he looked at it, it was not force majeure in any way.. The true force majeure was Lilith after she returned to the Deadly Sin level!
