Chapter 200 Legacy of the Creator
What was the Red Sea Egg?
This question had never been answered. Although it was once thought to be the Mad Queen Lilith’s embryo for breeding special species, no one knew whether Lilith had created the Red Sea Egg.
The only certainty was that Lilith held the Red Sea Egg when it first appeared.
Ever since angels and demons discovered this world and started fighting in it, both sides had suffered heavy losses due to the war. In order to deal with this prolonged war, Heaven developed and created artificial angels, and these artificial angels had effectively made up for the lack of troops on Heaven’s side. After the artificial angels appeared, the demons naturally had to think of ways to expand the army.
Therefore, the Mad Queen Lilith took over this matter… After some time, the nephilim were born in her hands.
As soon as the nephilim appeared, they immediately became the third-largest race after angels and demons. In fact, it was not wrong to think of them as first-generation humans. In the beginning, the nephilim stood on the demon’s side because of their ‘mother’, Lilith. Their bloodthirsty and warlike nature was exactly the same as that of demons, and they relied on their powerful strength to help the demons make the angels suffer defeat after defeat.
However, as time passed, the nephilim found that not only were they stronger than angels but also the demons who created them. Gradually, the nephilim began to have thoughts of leaving the demons’ control.
Due to there being very few nephilim, the race was actually very united, and they quickly reached an agreement. In a war, the nephilim rebelled collectively. They killed all the demons in the barrier troops, snatched the Red Sea Egg, and escaped to a separate alternate space, intending to live and multiply there.
But this move made them stand opposite the angels and demons at the same time. Angels valued their bloodlines more than demons, and they hated hybrid bloodlines of angel and demon like the nephilim. And demons had very complicated feelings for the nephilim. There was worship for the strong and strength, anger about the tainted demon bloodline, and hatred for the betrayal.
Thus, in the end, the nephilim became a race cursed by angels and demons…
The demons wanted to regain the Red Sea Egg more than once, and the angels wanted to destroy the Red Sea Egg. But as an important tool for the birth of the nephilim, the Red Sea Egg was always heavily guarded by them.
Of course, it was extremely dangerous to place the key to the survival of the race on an object, so the nephilim were also seeking a new way of reproducing, and they did indeed find one later. This was why there were two distinctions between the first and second generations of the nephilim. The first generation of nephilim was born from the Red Sea Egg without exception, and they were also the strongest. The second generation of nephilim was mostly born through natural means, and they were weaker than the first generation.
Due to the appearance of special creations like the nephilim, thousands of races knew Lilith’s name and had always regarded her as the mother of the nephilim.
With the passage of time, the Charred Council recruited the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Of course, the Charred Council also realized that it was absolutely impossible to recruit the entire race of nephilim. Apart from the uncontrollable nature of the nephilim, they were also worried that recruiting the entire race would attract the combined attack of the angels and demons… In fact, there was probably a lot of hidden information about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse slaughtering their own people and becoming subordinates of the council…
In any case, only the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse remained of the nephilim race in the end, so the council naturally took the Red Sea Egg that gave birth to the nephilim.
The Charred Council also had their own ambitions. The strength of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse alone was insufficient, so they also wanted a powerful army to suppress the angels and demons. And the Red Sea Egg naturally became the best way for them to create that army.
However, reality proved that if you did not know how to operate the Red Sea Egg, it was impossible to create a powerful and balanced race that could reproduce, such as Lilith had! The Charred Council’s experiments with the Red Sea Egg lasted for more than a thousand years, but all of them failed without exception! The creatures created were either deformed, had no intelligence, or were special individuals that did not possess the ability to reproduce.
This made the council realize that Lilith might have used some unknown special method when she created the nephilim, and this method was something that they could not find out at all. Among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, only Death, the only surviving first-generation nephilim, knew a little, but he absolutely could not tell the council… Therefore, afterward, the Charred Council regretted having the nephilim killed too quickly, and their patience gradually disappeared. Finally, they thought of a waythrow the Red Sea Egg onto the remains of a battlefield of angels and demons, let it produce naturally, and see if it was possible to encounter good luck…
Of course, this kind of gambling had no good results. Logically speaking, after such a long time, the Charred Council should have long since not paid attention to the Red Sea Egg. Roy’s success rate of stealing the Red Sea Egg should have been very high, but why did the Charred Council make such a big fuss and have a councilor directly take action after discovering something abnormal with the egg?
Even when Envy had hit their statues, they still did not show up..
This was actually because after obtaining the Red Sea Egg, the Charred Council had spared no effort in collecting information about it. And from this information, they discovered an incredible truth! This truth was that Mad Queen Lilith might only be the first owner of the Red Sea Egg but not the creator! The time when the Red Sea Egg first appeared could almost be traced back to when the Abyss had just appeared!
What did this mean? It meant that the Red Sea Egg was very likely a ‘Legacy of the Creator’!! It was a legendary relic of the Creator!
The Charred Council started under the name of the Creator, so how could they not take this seriously? After thinking about the characteristics of the Red Sea Egg, the Charred Council even suspected that the Red Sea Egg was probably what the Creator had used to create the angel and demon races!
Although this suspicion did not have concrete evidence, it also made the Charred Council attach great importance to it. They placed the Red Sea Egg on the battlefield because they could not use the egg, but this did not mean that the council wanted to lose it. This was the real reason why Raphael’s incarnation had immediately rushed to the scene to stop Roy’s theft…
Since Roy had cut off all the roots, the Red Sea Egg could not obtain nutrients through the roots, so it had already been shrinking into a seed and preparing to become dormant.
However, when Roy was slashed in half by Raphael, and demon blood sprayed onto the ground, the Red Sea Egg immediately sensed
it.
Instinctively, the Red Sea Egg was unwilling to enter a state of dormancy. It had plant characteristics, so it would produce stress responses to changes in the environment. On this battlefield, it had not absorbed any fresh flesh and blood nutrients for a long time, so its main body rushed out to devour Roy’s body the moment he fell to the ground, intending to absorb nutrients to remove its dormant state and take root again.
Under normal circumstances, the Red Sea Egg would absorb nutrients with its roots. But now that the roots were cut off, it could only eat in another way, which was to devour like a man-eating flower.
Raphael was aware of this situation and thought that Roy was dead, so he left. But what he did not know was that after the Red Sea Egg swallowed Roy into the bud and planned to digest Roy’s body to replenish its nutrients…
Just as the inside of the Red Sea Egg was gradually secreting its digestive juice, it felt an inexplicable aura coming from Roy’s body. Instantly, the digestive juice of the Red Sea Egg stopped secreting, and the secreted acid quickly disappeared and turned into a new, warm liquid.
Thus, Roy’s body was soaking in this warm liquid and unexpectedly underwent accelerated recovery and regeneration. His skin melted by the holy light rapidly grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, gradually covering Roy’s tendons and bones. However, because Roy’s body was cut into two by Raphael, after being swallowed by the Red Sea Egg, the two halves of his body did not gather together, so the wound where he was severed could not join together. As a result, a strange phenomenon quickly appeared. As time went on, new lower limbs gradually grew from the waist of Roy’s upper body, and the lower half of his body gradually grew a new upper half!
In other words, two identical demon Roys were gradually taking shape!
Such changes could not be seen from the outside, but as the liquid secreted, the Red Sea Egg was becoming weaker and weaker, as though secreting this powerful healing liquid was rapidly consuming its remaining energy. And perhaps this treatment process would end completely. As the Red Sea Egg was shrinking smaller and smaller, Roy, who was in a coma, suddenly produced a ball of light in his palm.
It was… a soul!
When Roy lost consciousness, the system used a soul that Roy had stored in its space to save the situation!
Not only could the Red Sea Egg absorb flesh and blood as nutrients, but it could also absorb soul energy as nutrients. After all, the creatures it created required souls. Where did these souls come from? Weren’t they absorbed by the Red Sea Egg? The moment the soul appeared, it quickly turned into light spots and disappeared, absorbed by the inner wall of the Red Sea Egg, which immediately revived it.
Then continuous soul balls were released from Roy’s palm and then absorbed one by one by the Red Sea Egg. Not only did the egg stop shrinking, but it gradually became energetic, and the healing liquid inside secreted more and more…
