Chapter 192 Fury Returns
In addition to this undead army, Roy now had about a thousand low-level demons under his command. There were around eight hundred low-rank demons and two hundred middle-rank demons. These demons were all gathered near Roy’s territory and obeyed his orders. Roy used them very smoothly. When the time came, he would let them join the undead army and attack the Charred Council together. They should be of some use.
Attacking the Charred Council might sound dangerous, but it was actually still possible for Roy to succeed. Of course, the premise was that he could enter the Charred Council Space.
Roy had the low-level demons collect souls for him, and they would occasionally bring back some strange things. Roy could not tell what these things were for, so he handed them over to the demon merchant, Vulgrim, to exchange for a lot of souls. Vulgrim was a rare rift demon, so his understanding of space naturally did not need mentioning. When he came to look for Roy to make deals, he often chatted with Roy for a long time, so during the conversations, Roy learned a lot about alternate spaces.
Besides this world’s main world (the human world), there were a large number of alternate space bubbles. And in these alternate spaces, there were often some suitable living environments, which gave birth to different races. The history of these races appeared much earlier than humans, they were known as the ancient races and were the natives of this world. Angels and demons were actually outsiders. In the beginning, demons discovered this world through a Gate of the Abyss, and once demons appeared, they brought war and slaughter. These ancient races naturally resisted, and then angels followed. After all, wherever demons appeared, angels would appear. Thus, the early history of this world was actually a tangled war between the three parties of angels, demons, and the natives.
The forces of the natives could not contend against the angels and demons, so they quickly declined in the war. In order to avoid the threat of extinction, they sealed off the alternate spaces they lived in and encrypted them with the power of magic. Without knowing the method, it would be very difficult to enter. Unfortunately, although this encryption won a respite for the natives, many races eventually perished after self-sealing themselves. Unable to connect to the main world, their population and resources were greatly limited, so in that long time, hundreds of native races died out, and there were only a few races left.
According to Vulgrim, the Charred Council was in such an encrypted alternate space, and it was probably the most complicated and difficult one to crack. It was precisely this indecipherable alternate space that protected the Charred Council from the beginning. Otherwise, the angels and demons would have long joined forces to destroy the Charred Council for its interference in the war between angels and demons. Why would they have given it a chance to grow?
The history of the Charred Council was also very old. This was not wrong. But in fact, in the beginning, it had no way of dealing with the angels and demons. It was not until the Mad Queen Lilith created the nephilim, and the council saw the huge war potential of the nephilim race and incorporated them for its use, did it finally suppress the angels and demons.
However, the potential of the nephilim was simply too strong. Although the Charred Council wanted to make use of them, it was also worried that they would break free from its control and bite the council. Therefore, it led the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse astray and had them kill all their compatriots as proof of allegiance.
Of course, it had only succeeded because Death and the other Horsemen of the Apocalypse were relatively unique. Just like Lilith had said, their other compatriots were more inclined toward the nature of demons, bloodthirsty and cruel. Death and the others were more inclined toward angels and their compassion… The Charred Council had used this ideological conflict to successfully divide the nephilim race. After obtaining the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the Charred Council had become a force stronger than the angels and demons. Moreover, it used force to make the angels and demons submit and establish a ceasefire agreement.
The encryption of the alternate space was so complex that even a demon king like Samael could not crack it. This kind of thing was not solvable with force, so even though the angels and demons gritted their teeth in hatred for the Charred Council, they could not do anything to it. And the members of the Charred Council just hid in the alternate space and safely remotely controlled from behind the scenes to maintain the so-called ‘balance’.
In this long time, no one had been able to enter the Charred Council Space without its permission. For tens of thousands of years, this ‘safe’ mindset had probably become deeply ingrained in it…
However, it would have never thought that one of the Seven Deadly Sins would have such a scheme. When escaping from the prison, instead of rushing to escape from this space, she had instead chosen to possess a watcher created by the council… Being careless was the greatest mistake the Charred Council made! After thinking about it over the past three years, Roy realized that this was the only chance he could use!
Initially, when he discovered that the watcher was Envy, he only wanted to give her a push. Didn’t Samael and Lilith plan to make the Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the Charred Council turn against each other? Since he had encountered her, he would just give her a hand. Therefore, he did not put her into the talisman when exposing the true identity of the watcher but instead let her stay by Fury’s side, not doing anything. He originally wanted to see how Fury would react when Envy betrayed her at the last moment. But he did not expect to encounter the Mad Queen Lilith after going to the Black Stone Throne, and she even gave him a mission to recover the Red Sea Egg. As a result, the Deadly Sin Envy that he had left alone immediately rose in utilization value.
Vulgrim had told Roy that the watchers created by the council could freely enter and leave the Charred Council Space. This was a very valuable piece of information. There were more than a few watchers, but they were all tools used by the Charred Council to monitor the entire world. In order to facilitate them being able to report at any time, it gave the watchers the right to enter and leave at will. Envy had specially chosen a watcher to possess for the convenience of being able to go back and take revenge on the Charred Council.
Envy was well hidden, and the Charred Council had not discovered her, so it had arranged for her to monitor Fury. This showed that the Charred Council did not completely trust the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and had always been guarding against them. But this was a good thing. To Roy, this was the key to entering the Charred Council Space.
Imagine. It had not been invaded for tens of thousands of years, and the Charred Council was probably already long used to it. How careless and unguarded would it be? Once Roy led the undead army and the demon army into it, how chaotic would it become?
