After showing off his current strength a little, Roy felt very satisfied, so he focused his attention on separating the two Purgatory Spaces.
The Void power that emerged from the Void rift had already been neutralized by Roy’s Chaos body after his bloodline evolved, causing the Void rift to be powerless and close again. Thus, he did not need to worry about the Void rift opening anymore.
After tearing the two fused Purgatory Spaces apart along the boundary and giving it some inertial force, the two Purgatory Spaces began to separate slowly. After doing this, he had basically succeeded. Next, he only needed to wait for a while before the two Purgatory Spaces returned to their original positions and enveloped the human worlds of the two worlds again, restoring them to the complete worlds of the past.
While Roy separated the two Purgatory Spaces, the various strange phenomena appearing in the human worlds on both sides completely disappeared. People could no longer see the projections of angels and demons nor the scenes of the two sides fighting. And they did not need to worry about accidentally falling into spatial cracks and entering the dangerous Purgatory Space anymore.
Of course, the aftereffects of this incident could not be eliminated in the human worlds in a short time. It subverted the phenomena of ordinary human cognition and values. This time, it could be said that everyone had witnessed it, and it was impossible even to use illusions to explain it. Perhaps it would not be long before all kinds of strange religions in the human worlds would rise and use their own imagination and understanding to try to explain what had happened this time. And the rise of these religions would definitely cause a tremendous impact on the scientific development of the human worlds…
But this had nothing to do with Roy. He began to prepare to return to the Abyss.
In fact, after separating the two Purgatory Spaces, he had originally wanted to try going to Bayonetta’s human world. Unfortunately, when he tried to enter the human world, he had suffered an unprecedented immense rebound!
It was fine when he was in the Purgatory Space, and it did not feel obvious. But the repulsive force of Bayonetta’s main world was unprecedentedly fierce to Roy, a demon king. The moment he tried to enter, it was as though the power of the entire world was concentrated and violently sent him flying out.
If one had to describe the force of this blow, it was probably no less than millions of tons…
Facing the repulsive force of the world, Roy was rejected even though he used the divine spark’s power of authority. This main world held incomparably deep malice toward a powerful demon king like him and would never allow him to enter the forbidden zone.
To be honest, he was a little confused about this situation. Of course, he knew how difficult it was for demon kings to enter a main world, but he did not expect it to be so difficult.
“Tsk…” Roy spat unwillingly. “Fine, I won’t go. Do you think I really want to go?”
Even so, Roy could not help but think of Rodin. This guy was a clone of Mephisto, but he could stay in the human world. In that case, Roy actually had a way to go to the main world. He only needed to create a clone with a lower strength rank to represent him.
But Roy would not do this. He was now cautious about creating clones and would definitely never create clones casually. Even if he wanted to create one, he had to ensure that the clone was completely under his control.
So after thinking about it, he no longer hesitated and called out to Julia,
Sparda, and the others. “Let’s go back to the Demon World!”
After Roy, Sparda, and the others disappeared into the spatial channel, Joanne and Bayonetta, who were still in Heaven, heaved a sigh of relief. Roy’s attempt to enter the human world had indeed shocked them. Fortunately, the rules of the world they were in were still complete, preventing his actions. Otherwise, the two of them would really not know what to do-
“Hey, speaking of which, you’ve profited!” Jeanne nudged Bayonetta’s sexy waist with her elbow. “When you signed the power contract with Osiris, you probably didn’t expect him to become stronger, right?”
“Indeed!” Bayonetta reached out her hand to support her black-framed glasses.
“This is equivalent to using a smaller price to retain a stronger trump card!”
Jeanne raised her head and looked into the distance. There were a few more ancient angels lurking there, and they were approaching them to surround them. Seeing this scene, Jeanne said mockingly, “It seems like angels are no different from demons when it comes to bullying the weak and fearing the strong! ”
“Isn’t that so?” Bayonetta rotated her two red guns with both hands. “As soon as the demon king left, they came over. Looks like the lesson isn’t enough..
The two beautiful ladies looked at each other and smiled charmingly. The next second, endless gunshots rang out, causing golden blood and feathers to fill the sky of Heaven again…
On the other side, Roy, who had returned to the Demon World, took a deep breath and said to Sparda, “The aura here is much more comfortable!”
“The holy light of Heaven is really unfriendly to demons…” Sparda agreed.
“But there’s still a difference between the Demon World and the Abyss!” Roy said. “Sparda, are you sure you want to stay here and not return to the Abyss with me?”
Sparda shook his head. “This is my second hometown, and all my descendants are here. They’re all Children of Taboo. If I return to the Abyss, I’ll definitely be targeted!”
“With me protecting you, what are you afraid of?” Roy snorted.
“Thank you for your recruitment, Your Majesty!” Sparda bowed to Roy. “I can guard the Demon World for you, but I really can’t return to the Abyss…”
“The Demon World here is meaningless to me!” Roy shook his head. “I have no intention of being the king here. This Demon World has been isolated from the Abyss for too long and has formed its own system.”
Sparda understood Roy’s words as a pure Abyss demon being aloof and proud of their bloodline, so he did not dare to answer. Little did he know that Roy was really not interested in this world. No matter how vast the Demon World was, could it be as vast as the Abyss? Could the Demon World have spatial channels that connected to the Infinite Worlds like the Abyss?
None! So to Roy, the Demon World here was only like a third or fourth-tier city. How could it be as comfortable as a first-tier city like the Abyss?
After obtaining a divine spark, promoting to the demon king level, successfully evolving into a Chaos Demon, Roy’s past insecurity had disappeared a lot. He knew that from now on, there were not many things that could threaten his life. After his insecurity disappeared, what replaced it was his desire to explore the unknown.
Is there an end to the Abyss? How many worlds does it connect to? Where are the other Archangels and demon kings? What does the high-level Heaven look like? Does the Creator who created the angels, demons, and titans really exist? What’s with the Void?
After becoming a demon, Roy accepted his identity. As a human, his life had been short. But as a long-lived demon, he had endless time. If he did not do something, how would he pass the long years?
So many unknowns stimulated his curiosity, and he could not wait to explore.
It was fine if Sparda did not accept his recruitment. Anyway, Roy had already recruited Madama Styx and the other demon lords here, so it did not matter if there was one more or one less Sparda. Roy waved his hand and did not say anything else as he led everyone into the entrance of the Gate of the Abyss.
When Sparda’s group of four saw the demons leave with Roy one by one, it was unknown what they were thinking.
Sareth seemed to think of something, so he deliberately fell behind and said to Dante, “Dante, Nero, are you going to seal this entrance to the Abyss again?”
Dante looked at Sparda, nodded, and whispered, “Yes, as long as this entrance exists, there will always be demons from the Abyss entering the Demon World again. We can’t guarantee that every demon who comes in will be able to have friendly exchanges with us like your foster father…’
Nero also said, “Although I don’t want to admit it, Sparda… Grandpa indeed lied to your foster father…”
“Hey, Foster Father won’t mind!” Sareth waved his hand. “Otherwise, he would have taken you away long ago. I just feel that maybe you can leave a backdoor or something at the entrance of the seal. At least, I can come and play with you!”
“Looking for us to play?” Dante and Nero looked at each other in surprise.
“That’s right!” Sareth nodded and pointed at Dante. “Although you always rub my hair, overall, it’s quite interesting to be with you. I think we’re friends, right?”
Dante laughed, squatted down, and looked at Sareth at eye level. Then he stretched out his hand to Sareth. Sareth immediately understood, so a big hand and a small hand held each other.
“That’s right. We’re friends!” Dante said. “We’ll leave a way for you. With your status as a Child of Taboo, you should be able to travel between the Abyss and the Demon World easily. Next time, I’ll treat you to a strawberry milkshake!” “Deal!” Sareth chuckled, turned around, and ran into the Gate of the Abyss.
After watching Sareth leave, Vergil walked forward and said to everyone in puzzlement, “Actually, I’ve always had a question. Is Osiris, whom we encountered this time, really a demon? I’ve never heard of a demon that would help stabilize the world. Moreover, his foster son is a Child of Taboo with such a good character… I’m surprised no matter how I think about it…”
“I don’t know. I can’t tell!” Sparda sighed. “But maybe he’s just in a good mood because of his successful promotion? Don’t guess at the temperamental behavior of demons with our thoughts… It doesn’t matter how unconventional this demon king is…”
After being silent for a while, the four of them took out their demon swords and began to seal the channel between the Abyss and the Demon World… This also meant that Roy’s journey in these two twin worlds had come to an end…
