Chapter 166 - Incompatible Angel Souls

Chapter 166 Incompatible Angel Souls

Perhaps there were many people named Sparda, but if the prefix was dark knight and the race was demon, then it was definitely referring to the Devil May Cry world! The traitor of the demons, the Legendary Dark Knight, Dante and Vergil’s father… Roy did not expect to hear this name in the Darksiders world…

Roy had wondered a long time ago that with the mobility of demons and angels in various worlds, would he encounter angels or demons from other worlds in certain worlds?

Now, there was no need to guess. A living example was right in front of him, Julia! This former angel from the Devil May Cry world…

But are there angels in the Devil May Cry world? Hmm, maybe there were. Isn’t Julia one? Moreover, demons and angels are always like this. As long as there’s one side, the other side will definitely exist.

“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?” Julia asked in puzzlement after noticing the surprised expression on Roy’s face.

“It’s nothing!” Roy shook his head. He knew that Julia had lost her past memories. Even if he asked her about the situation in the Devil May Cry world, she probably could not remember, so he stopped decisively.

Moreover, he did not know how long he would stay in this Darksiders world, so it was meaningless to ask about the situation in the Devil May Cry world now.

He turned his attention back to the angel soul in his hand. Previously, he had encountered the End War as soon as he had fallen into this world, so although Roy had obtained angel souls, he had not had time to examine them carefully. Now that he observed carefully, he found that they were the same as other souls. The souls of angels also had differences in size and volume. These golden souls looked somewhat similar to the ‘noble souls’ that Roy transmuted with the Horadric Cube. This made Roy suddenly understand that perhaps the noble souls of humans could transform into the holy souls of angels through special means, so Heaven spared no effort in searching for and admitting those noble souls.

However, it was definitely much easier for humans to fall than to become noble… “Are you planning to transform these souls into fallen angels?” Julia looked at him as he observed these angel souls and could not help but say, “Let me remind you. This transformation isn’t easy. With your strength as a high-rank demon, I’m afraid it won’t work!”

“What do you mean?” Roy asked. “Is there anything special about the birth of fallen angels?”

“Of course. Let’s not talk about other things, but how do you create a body of flesh and blood for a fallen angel you want to transform?” Julia asked.

“Um…” Roy was stunned. Yes, souls usually needed a ‘vessel’ to carry them. Otherwise, they would gradually dissipate. Of course, there were also exceptions. For example, in some special environments, souls would not dissipate, and there was a possibility that some of the memories contained in the souls would restore with the passage of time. After the memories restored, the souls would unconsciously shape a new image according to the owner’s original appearance in the memories, and what would form was a ghost! Similarly, the power of certain undead magic could also directly transform souls into ghosts. Roy learned these things from the lich Cassandra. Speaking of Cassandra, Roy did not know how she was doing in the Pirates of the Caribbean world…

Generally speaking, it was best for the vessels carrying souls to be bodies of flesh and blood, such as the artificial angels that Roy had killed before. Although they were artificially created, their bodies were still flesh and blood. If Roy wanted to transform these angel souls into fallen angels, the first thing he needed to solve was a body capable of carrying a fallen soul. It was indeed not an easy task. In Julia’s words, ordinary high-rank demons usually did not think about these things. Only after becoming demon lords or demon kings would they think of ways to make fallen angels. Roy was thinking about how to deal with these angel souls. It was temporarily impossible to transform them into fallen angels and make subordinates, so Roy thought about it for a bit before picking a low-class angel soul and throwing it into his mouth.

Roy devoured an angel soul right in front of Julia, a fallen angel. This scene felt a little strange no matter how you thought about it, but Julia did not have any other expression because these angels’ souls were not her compatriots at all…

Once this low-class holy soul entered his mouth, Roy could not help frowning.

He originally thought that this holy soul would taste as delicious as fallen souls or noble souls, but he did not expect it to be completely different!

Hot! Scorching! And this kind of spiciness did not feel like a fragrant spicy and numbing sensation and so on, but pure spiciness!

This burning feeling was not just purely the taste. It was completely different from the wonderful feeling of devouring souls in the past. This holy soul gave Roy the feeling that he had eaten something wrong, and his entire body was protesting!

Therefore, after the spiciness, it was feeling uncomfortable!

Damn it. What’s going on? Why does the soul of an angel taste so disgusting?

And the most outrageous thing is, why did those demons throw the souls into their mouths after killing angels on the battlefield? Don’t they find it disgusting?

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…
