Chapter 166 - Incompatible Angel Souls (2/2)

Or were the demons devouring the souls of angels just out of a form of revenge?

This was the first time Roy devoured an angel soul. The feeling was absolutely not wonderful, but he still endured it because he remembered the system saying that demons could increase their holy resistance after devouring angel souls…

So after devouring the soul, Roy opened the system interface and checked his attributes.

In the end, he did not find any description of holy resistance in his attribute table. After careful observation, he found that only the activity attribute seemed to have increased by one point.

Roy could not remember how much it was before. After all, the increase of one point was easily overlooked.

Roy felt that it was a little strange, so he could not help but ask Julia.

Julia replied, “The main purpose of demons devouring angel souls is to eliminate angels and reduce their numbers! As for the increase in holy resistance, there is indeed that, but it’s really very little, and it can even be said to be insignificant. Otherwise, wouldn’t a demon king-level existence like His Majesty Samael have long become invincible. You have to know that he’s devoured at least eighty thousand angel souls…”

With Julia’s explanation, Roy finally understood what was going on.

To put it bluntly, the souls of angels actually conflicted with demons! This was because the souls of angels could be said to be a combination of positive emotions and energy. Moreover, their souls often contained a certain amount of holy power. When Roy devoured the soul earlier, the burning and uncomfortable feelings were actually due to holy power. However, this holy power was too weak compared to the dark power of demons, so even though it was uncomfortable, it would not cause any harm to demons.

Moreover, because the magic power of demons came from the negative energy in souls, angel souls were not actually very useful to demons, and even magic power would not increase.

By the same logic, the souls of demons were not very useful to angels. Generally, angels would not devour the souls of demons, and they would only thoroughly purify them with powerful holy power. Therefore, be it angels or demons, after obtaining the souls of their opponents, they would mostly eliminate them so that they could achieve the goal of reducing their numbers.

Of course, this referred to demons that did not have the ability to transform souls. Demon kings like Samael would turn all the angel souls they obtained into fallen angels. First, it would reduce the number of angels, and second, fallen angels would augment their forces. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

The increase in resistance of these angel souls was very low, and they could not be used to increase magic power. Roy could actually transform them into fallen angels. He could use the system to create bodies for fallen angels, but this way, it was no different from creating life through the system…Oh right… I can also use them to feed Fat Tiger…

“However, if you want to find out how Mother Lilith created the nephilim, it’s best if you keep these angel souls!” Julia guessed Roy’s thoughts. “Especially Uriel’s soul. The stronger the angel soul, the more helpful it should be for you…”

That’s true. Roy nodded. Looking at it now, the souls of angels and demons were simply incompatible, so he was even more curious about how Lilith used angels and demons to create the nephilim.

You had to know that a soul not only needed a body of flesh and blood as a vessel, but it also needed the soul to match the body. The body was the hardware, and the soul was the driver. The nephilim possess both the angel and demon bloodlines. Does this mean that their souls are also a fusion of angels and demons? Otherwise, how could the nephilim have such great power?

Moreover, if the nephilim are only the failed products of Lilith’s research, how powerful would a true chaos demon be?

In addition, it’s said that the Charred Council in this world exists based on the will of the Creator. Then, was the creator here the same as the creator of the Abyss?

There were too many secrets… But Roy knew that as long as he stayed in this Darksiders world and slowly explored, everything might have an answer…

Yes, Roy had already planned to stay in this world for a while. Anyway, there was an Abyss Outpost in this world, and he would not be expelled no matter how long he stayed. As a long-lived demon, he had a lot of time to squander…
