Custom Made Demon King Chapter 493: What Did Lilith See Back Then?

Chapter 493: What Did Lilith See Back Then?
Bayonetta was right. If Julia had rushed up just now, both she and Roy would have been in trouble.
Fortunately, Julia was stopped by the more composed Bayonetta...
To be honest, the sudden appearance of the Void at this moment caught Roy a bit off guard. Unlike Bayonetta's understanding, in Roy's understanding of the Void's power, it was not so easy for the Void to corrupt a world, even if his method of tearing apart the two space bubbles was a bit rough.
The power of the Void is chaotic and violent, seeking to reduce the material world to nothingness. It is the common enemy of all material worlds, which sounds terrifying, but in reality...
Roy has encountered and dealt with the power of the Void before, and its manifestations have always been infecting and corrupting the creatures or objects of the material world, and then using these infected beings to accelerate the destruction and annihilation of the material world. Even in the world of the Darksiders , the Void Rift in the Samael Demon King's city, although enormous, was only gradually devouring the space in which the Demon King's city was located; it did not destroy it all at once. This shows that this power possesses a special inertness!
It is precisely because of this special inertness that most worlds can exist peacefully.
The Void is like a canvas, or rather, a black backdrop. Countless worlds and the universes and spaces containing them are depicted on this backdrop. Only when the universes and spaces of the worlds are damaged can the black backdrop be seen, exposing the existence of the Void.
These thoughts flashed through Roy's mind in an instant, so he didn't panic too much. He immediately mobilized all of his magic to protect himself while using the Divine Eye to observe the swarming power of the Void.
Without a doubt, the void power, like black lightning, is attempting to corrupt him. By infecting the creatures of the material world, it seeks to sustain its influence in this realm. If Roy is fully corrupted, he will immediately transform into a void creature, perhaps even becoming a Void Lord at his current level, and then proceed to devour the twin worlds...
Fortunately, this corruption is not instantaneous, which gives Roy a chance to catch his breath.
Roy now faces two choices. One is to give up on separating the two realms and immediately escape back to the Abyss. However, the consequence of this choice is that the void rift will never close, continually spewing void power, corrupting and infecting the two realms, and continuing to spread towards the human realm.
The other choice is to withstand the corruption of the void power and quickly restore the two realms to their normal state. This way, the spatial storms will calm down, and the torn void rift will gradually heal, completely closing the passage for the escape of void power. However, the consequence of this choice is that if Roy can't withstand the corruption of the void power, he might become corrupted and fall.
As a demon, Roy doesn't even need to think about it; he should go with the first choice. His own safety comes first, and there's no need to endure for the sake of these two worlds.
However, just as he was about to withdraw, suddenly all the magic circuits in Roy's body trembled.
With a flicker in his mind, Roy temporarily halted his intention to retreat and quickly began to carefully sense the magic circuits within his body.
He hasn't forgotten what Lilith once said; only chaotic power can resist the void power!
During his time in the Abyss, Roy had been pondering this question. He believed that there was a reason behind Lilith's words. If void power represented "nothingness," then elemental power represented "existence"!
In the various theories of magic, elements are considered the foundation of the material world, a universally accepted fact. Even the most unique materials are still derived from elemental evolution. While individual elements may only represent a portion of the material world, if all elements can be gathered together, they can represent a complete material world. This is the theoretical basis of chaotic power.
However, chaotic power, when separated, may be relatively easy, but reuniting it is much more difficult. Since Roy opened up the magic circuits for all elements, he had been trying to fuse these circuits together, but he couldn't figure out what went wrong. He could now use individual elemental magic and even some plural elemental combinations, but he just couldn't use magic that utilized all elements together.
For so many years, there had been no progress, which made Roy doubt whether chaotic power truly existed.
It was only at this moment, when Roy unexpectedly found himself exposed to the void rift and subjected to the invasion of void power, that he suddenly understood everything!
Back in the Darksiders World, he was just an upper-level demon, and even in terms of a demon's age, his strength had improved rapidly. But with such a rank, Lilith, as a Demon King, wouldn't have paid much attention to him.
However, not only did Lilith pay attention to him, but she also entrusted him with an important mission to retrieve the Red Sea Egg and even took the time to explain the existence of chaotic demons.
At that time, Roy didn't think much about it, but now looking back, he suddenly realized that Lilith's actions might have been intentional!
Lilith, in many legends, is an extraordinary figure. She is the first female demon of the Abyss and the progenitor of the Succubus clan. Not only does she have close relationships with all Demon Kings, but there have also been rumors of her involvement with angels. It is said that the Demon King Samauel was once an angel, but he left Eden and became a demon because he married Lilith.
She is considered to be the first wife of Adam, the ancestor of humans; she is Eve, who left Eden due to dissatisfaction with Adam and later became a seductive female demon known for tempting humans and strangling infants.
In some human folk legends, she is even considered the progenitor of vampires, the origin of vampirism...
Her many faces make it difficult to determine what kind of existence Lilith truly is. However, from Roy's understanding, the Lilith he encountered in the Darksiders World was undoubtedly very powerful because she possessed the ability to control time! Roy once doubted whether Lilith had seen something from the long river of time when she met him, which led to her favoring him so much...
Now, this doubt has turned into certainty because Roy discovered that under the tremendous pressure of void power invasion, all the magic circuits inside him began to resist. The elemental powers filling the magic circuits showed signs of fusion at this moment! Not just a fusion of one or two elements, but a fusion of all elements!
No wonder Roy couldn't fuse all elements together in his previous attempts; it turned out that he lacked the specific environmental conditions...
Roy no longer plans to run away. He knows that such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime chance. The exposed void rift is not exceptionally huge, and the surging void power hasn't reached a point where it is completely unstoppable. Once missed, he might never encounter such a unique environment again.
And so, Roy gritted his teeth and held on desperately, forcefully activating the magic circuits within his body. Even though excruciating tearing pain surged through his entire body, he paid no attention to it. Instead, a touch of fanaticism appeared in his eyes.
"Come on, Lilith!" Roy muttered to himself with difficulty. "If you really saw my current situation from the river of time, it means I definitely have a chance to succeed! Otherwise, you wouldn't have said those things to me back then!"
Roy didn't fully understand what kind of scenes Lilith, a prophet who could see the future, had witnessed. But he assumed there were countless possibilities, just like Doctor Strange finding the one way to defeat Dormammu among thousands of possibilities. Roy believed Lilith must have seen a similar vision of him successfully overcoming the void invasion and gaining chaotic power.
What Roy needed to do was to make that vision a reality!
Black lightning enveloped Roy's entire body, violently emitting terrifying and distorted scenes all around. Spardans and the others in the distance were already stunned. They couldn't see Roy's figure anymore, only a gigantic black mass of lightning hovering there. An endless aura of madness and destruction kept emanating from this black mass, even clearing away the omnipresent gentle holy light from the celestial realm.
"If... I mean, if..." Dante struggled to swallow his saliva and said, "If Osiris is consumed by that void power, does it mean the apocalypse is approaching?"
"That's right!" Bayonetta glanced at him coldly and said, "Apocalypse! You, me, and even everything in these two twin worlds will be completely wiped out. In the vast universe and multiverse, there will be no information about us, as if we never existed..."
"Terrifying!" After hearing this, Sareth looked terrified, unable to imagine such a scene. He could only use this word to describe his current feelings.
Bayonetta rubbed Sareth's head and comforted him, "Don't worry, at least when we disappear, it may not be too painful. It will be like blinking our eyes, and then we're gone..."
