Chapter 162 Fishing Is Something that Requires Patience
Fury fell into deep thought again. She stared at Roy’s eyes while various thoughts went through her mind. Roy looked at her calmly. In fact, Roy’s words could not count as completely lying. What he said about the Void was indeed true. He was just taking the matters of another world and mentioning it in this world, causing Fury not to have the ability to verify the authenticity of his words.
Void power was too similar to the ‘depravation power’ that Julia mentioned, so even Roy himself suspected that it was really Void power.
Fury’s hesitation laid in this. Although she had only indirectly come into contact with some vague information about depravation, some things immediately became clear after corroborating with Roy’s words. She could now say that she had mostly believed Roy’s words.
“So, did the Dark Titan Sargeras succeed?” Fury suddenly asked Roy after a while. “Did he succeed in preventing the corruption brought about by the Void?”
“I don’t know!” Roy shook his head. “Although the worlds he destroyed did indeed reduce the corruption of the void power, and it can be said that he stopped the spread and growth of the Void, it may also weaken the powers that resist the Void. No one knows whether his actions are ultimately right or wrong. The outcome is impossible to know until the very last moment...”
“Is that so...” Roy’s words dispelled the last traces of Fury’s doubts.
Earlier, she had always felt that Roy was using the deeds of the fallen Dark Titan Sargeras to tempt her into falling. After all, such a powerful and magnificent warrior had joined the demon camp. The power of this example was truly very powerful, but Roy’s final words did not show any intention of promoting the demons’ achievements. Instead, his evaluation of Sargeras was very objective, causing Fury to dispel her final doubts immediately.
“Very good!” Fury stood up. “I have to admit that the information you brought is truly very valuable! I will find a way to verify what you’ve said!”
“How will you verify it? Go to those corroded spaces?” Roy asked.
“Of course, I have to see it with my own eyes!” Fury said.
Hearing this, the watcher beside her became anxious and quickly said, “Mistress, don’t forget your mission...”
Unlike the watcher the council sent to monitor War in the future, this watcher beside Fury seemed to be always cautious and followed Fury’s lead. But when she spoke, Fury grabbed her neck and shouted at her, “Shut up! If what this demon said is true, then the balance that the Four Horsemen are trying to maintain is meaningless! When the entire world is being devoured by the Void, what balance is needed?!”
What she said was indeed true. Although Fury was hot-tempered, she was still a Horseman of the Apocalypse, so she naturally knew what was important!
The watcher was unwilling to give up. “But if you disobey the order of the council and don’t pursue the Seven Deadly Sins but leave the human world and go to another world without permission, aren’t you afraid of attracting the punishment of the council? Don’t forget that the Horsemen of the Apocalypse are loyal to the council. How can you put yourself into a disadvantageous situation just because of the words of a demon? Who knows if they’re true or false?”
“That’s easy!” Fury raised her head and said to Roy, “Demon, your name is Osiris, right? Now, I hire you to help me solve the Seven Deadly Sins. Afterward, I’ll come back to find you and bring them back to the council to report. How about that?”
Not to mention the watcher, even Roy was in disbelief. “Are you sure this will work?”
“Of course!” Fury placed her hands on her hips. “The council only made me in charge of hunting down the Seven Deadly Sins, but it didn’t say that I had to take action!”
There’s nothing wrong with this logic...
However, Roy still did not dare to take it lightly. “The Seven Deadly Sins sound like they belong to the demon camp. You actually want me, a demon, to hunt them down?”
“Don’t worry! The Seven Deadly Sins aren’t real demons!” Fury said. “They’re just a group of prisoners, the extreme representations of negative emotions. They don’t have real bodies to begin with. After escaping, they’ll possess the bodies of other creatures to obtain physical forms. You only need to kill their physical forms to capture them!”
Seeing Roy wanting to speak, Fury shook her finger first. “Don’t reject me. If you still want to know the secrets of the nephilim, you’d better do as I say. I’ll carry out the contract, but I have to leave first to verify what you said. If what you said is true, then when I return, I’ll fulfill the contract and tell you the secrets of the nephilim that I know. But if I’m caught up in the matter of the Seven Deadly Sins, you’ll have to wait a long time!”
“You really understand the demon contract well!” Roy had no choice now. It was not that Fury did not intend to carry out the contract, but that she planned to wait until she verified what he said was true before fulfilling it. Roy could not refute such an excuse.
After thinking about it, Roy said, “It’s not impossible to help you hunt down the Seven Deadly Sins, but this is another deal, right? What can I get?”
“Let’s do it this way!” Fury thought for a moment and said, “Since I’m hiring you, I can pay you with souls. If you can give me all the Seven Deadly Sins after I come back, I will pay you a million souls!”
“A million?!” Roy sized her up. “Do you have so many souls?”
“Don’t underestimate the wealth of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!” Fury said proudly. “I’ve served the Charred Council for thousands of years and killed countless enemies. I still have these savings!”
Roy was doubtful and asked, “What if you can’t come back?”
“What do you mean?! Are you looking down on me?!” Fury was immediately annoyed.
“No, no, no. What I mean is, what if the council captures you?” Roy said while looking at the watcher.
“Then you can eat the souls of the Seven Deadly Sins!” Fury waved his hand, seemingly unconcerned.
When the watcher heard this, she immediately screamed, “Mistress, how can you...”
However, Fury was just this capricious and only replied, “I call the shots!” Then she turned around and left.
Among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Fury was the only woman. But at the same time, she had the worst temper and was the most unpredictable. In fact, she only came to the human world to hunt down the Seven Deadly Sins after negotiating conditions with the council. She did things so willfully that even the Charred Council had a headache over her...
Seeing Fury turn around and leave, the watcher stopped and did not follow her immediately. Instead, she flew in front of Roy and pointed at him. “Damn demon, do you know what you did?! Hand over the Talisman of Sin quickly! Because of your lies and deception, the mistress will...”.
However, before she could finish speaking, Roy suddenly stretched out his claw, pinched the watcher’s head, and then lightly squeezed the watcher until she screamed.
Roy put her in front of him and sneered at the watcher. “Your power can restrain the Horsemen, but I’m not the target of your surveillance. Your power is useless against me, so... who gave you the courage to shout at me?”
“Let go... let go of me!” The watcher’s head was pinched by Roy, and her lower body was shaking around, wanting to break free. She shouted, “I’m from the Charred Council, demon! How dare you treat me like this? Aren’t you afraid of the council’s punishment?!”
“Do you think I’ll be afraid?” Roy asked. “Get this straight. I’m a demon, and I’ve always been an enemy of the council! Even if I kill you here, do you think the council would specially come to trouble me for a mere watcher like you?”
“Of... of course!” The watcher struggled with all her might and said unwillingly, “Even without Fury, there are still three other Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!”
“But the problem is that the other Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse can’t even take care of themselves currently, right?” Roy grinned sinisterly. “It seems a watcher like you hasn’t figured out the current situation of the council yet!”
Roy was indeed fearless now because, according to his guess, Demon King Samael was probably plotting against the Charred Council. Through various events, he seemed to be planning to make the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the Charred Council turn against each other, thus dismantling the largest force of the council. According to Roy’s impression, Samael might have done it in the end. At the very least, War betrayed the Charred Council after he reappeared a hundred years later...
Moreover, Roy had successfully got Fury to leave the human world through the topic of the Void’s corrosion. What was certain was that if Fury went to other alternate spaces to search for ‘depravation’, the Charred Council might punish her. With Fury’s personality, this punishment would undoubtedly be counterproductive...
Although killing the angel Uriel had changed the plot of this world, Roy was not worried at all. He only needed to follow the general trend, and this trend was nothing more than the rebellion of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the collapse of the Charred Council. This way, not only would it not interfere with the plans of Demon King Samael and Lilith, but it might even accelerate the process.
After all, Roy was a demon from the Abyss. To him, Samael and Lilith were the true bosses. What he did was fine as long as it did not affect these two big shots. As for other angels or the Charred Council, Roy could not be bothered to care about what they thought..
Just as Roy was thinking about whether he should help Fury kill this watcher, Julia suddenly reminded him, “The Talisman of Sin... seems to be glowing!”
Roy lowered his head to look at the Talisman of Sin in his other hand. Sure enough, this talisman was currently emitting a faint light.
Since the Talisman of Sin itself had a dim light, this additional light could not be seen without looking closely. Roy was puzzled and waved the talisman twice.
Then he discovered a strange phenomenon. The closer the talisman was to the watcher, the brighter the light.
“...” Roy looked at the talisman, then at the watcher, and suddenly realized!
“Haha! What an incredible discovery!” Roy said to the watcher. “Why does this Talisman of Sin emit such a faint light when it approaches you? Could it be that... you accidentally borrowed a little bit of power through this talisman while struggling? Are you also... one of the Seven Deadly Sins?”
