Chapter 195 Plant? Creature?

Boom! When Roy landed on the ground and shook it slightly, War raised his head and looked at Roy.

Under the shadow under the hood, the rune on War’s forehead glowed faintly. When War saw that it was a powerful high-rank demon in front of him, he could not help but narrow his eyes slightly and burst with a murderous aura!

“Demon?! Why are you here?” War asked in a low voice full of vigilance.

Roy was also sizing up War. As the Horseman of the Apocalypse who represented war, he was a natural warrior. His body should have been brimming with an indomitable aura and unparalleled sharpness, but Roy could not see these things from him now.

This was quite fantastical. When Roy first came to this world, he did everything possible to stay away from the descending War, fearing that he would lose his life in the hands of this powerful warrior if he were not careful. But now that they really met, War no longer had that domineering aura of killing.

Roy knew that this was because the Charred Council had taken away War’s power, and War was currently in a state of confusion. In the beginning, he had sensed the summons and responded to it to go to the human world. War had always thought that it was because the seven seals had been broken, but who knew that it was a grave mistake. After returning, he had not only lost his power but was also imprisoned here, and the council had declared that it would punish him for his mistake.

War knew that he was being framed. The starting of the End War between the angels and demons was a giant scheme, and he vaguely felt that someone in the shadows was targeting the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

When his sister Fury received a mission from the council to capture the Seven Deadly Sins in the human world, War had reminded her to be careful when she went. However, he did not know if Fury had returned, but a demon suddenly appeared in the Charred Council Space.

Roy squatted down and faced the kneeling War. He smiled. “Let me introduce myself. My name is Osiris, an Abyss demon. Pleased to meet you, Horseman!”

War looked straight at Roy. “I’m not pleased at all. Demon Osiris, are you here to kill me?”

“Oh, no, please don’t misunderstand!” Roy shook his head. “I just came to find something and happened to find you imprisoned here, so I came to take a look. I don’t have any thoughts of being an assassin.”

“Looking for something? What are you looking for here?” War asked curiously. “A high-rank demon like you can be considered powerful, but for the council, it can execute you at any time. What can make you take such a great risk to come here?”

“The Red Sea Egg!” Roy did not stand on ceremony and directly said it. “It’s indeed very risky, so I plan to leave as soon as I get it. Sir Horseman, maybe you can give me some direction?”

When War heard the name Red Sea Egg, his eyes narrowed, and he shook his head. “I don’t know this thing.”

“You being like this is meaningless!” Roy said. “You’re a warrior, not a liar, so you’re not good at lying at all. From your expression just now, I realized that you definitely know where this thing is!”

“So what? Do you think I’ll tell you?” War could not help sneering.

War obviously knew what the Red Sea Egg was. It was the most important item that the Mad Queen Lilith had used when she created the nephilim. When he heard this name, War immediately realized that the demon in front of him might have been sent by Lilith…

Roy was not annoyed. He took out the image crystal Fury gave him and input magic power to activate it.

The next second, the crystal emitted a dazzling light and projected a light screen.

In the light screen was a strange scene. There was a flower bud that looked like… a huge egg! This huge egg was blood-red, and twisted blood vessels and countless wrinkles covered its surface. It looked extremely ugly. The egg was on the ground, and numerous thick roots extended from the bottom and spread into the ground.

In the scene, this huge flesh egg moved rhythmically like a heart. Not long after, this rhythm became faster and faster. Then, starting from the top, the egg split apart, looking like a flower blooming with several petals slowly opening!

This scene felt slightly familiar to Roy. It looked just like the eggs in the Alien movie. When the tougher outer layer opened, a white semi-translucent sphere appeared. In the sphere, wrapped in a thin membrane, there was the shadow of a body curled up.

Finally, the thin membrane of the sphere slowly cracked open. Along with a large amount of mucus and red amniotic fluid, the shadow inside was brought out. It was a female ‘human’ whose body was already fully developed! As this ‘human’ slowly opened her eyes, the image in the light screen came to a stop! “Wh-where did you get this image crystal?!” War shouted at Roy in shock.

Roy smiled slightly, unsurprised. In fact, Roy had seen this scene last night. Of course, he knew that the huge flesh egg in this scene was probably the Red Sea Egg he was looking for, and this entire scene was actually the scene of the birth of a nephilim!

In particular, the female ‘human’ who came out of the egg might be Fury herself. If he did not remember wrongly, Fury was a second-generation nephilim. This image crystal was probably the recording that Fury’s siblings had taken to commemorate her birth, and they finally gave it to her to keep. Fury did not want to tell Roy too much about the nephilim, so she could only throw this image crystal to Roy. As for what Roy could see from it, he had to rely on himself.

War’s shock came from this. He did not expect this demon, who broke in suddenly, to have this.

“Where did I get it? From your sister, Fury!” Roy laughed. “But you don’t have to worry. She gave it to me on her own accord because I made a deal with her. I helped her hunt down the Seven Deadly Sins, and she told me some things about the nephilim…”

War first heaved a sigh of relief inwardly, but then he realized something was wrong and hurriedly asked, “She didn’t hunt down the Seven Deadly Sins? Where is she now?!”

“Don’t worry, Sir Horseman!” Roy shook his finger. “In comparison, I feel that you should be more concerned about your own situation. Even if I tell you about Fury’s situation, can you go and find her in your current imprisoned state?”

“…” War was speechless. He could not help but look at his hanging arms. Yes, I can’t even protect myself now… “Do you want me to release you?” Roy asked while pulling the chains.

“No, if you release me, my charge of betrayal will become real!” War shook his head.

Roy smiled. “As expected of War, the Horseman who is known for being the most loyal to honor and dignity. Knowing that you might be framed, you’re still willing to accept the punishment of imprisonment…”

“Get lost!” War suddenly flew into a rage and roared at Roy, “I don’t need a demon like you to humiliate me in front of me!”

However, Roy’s expression turned serious. “Have you thought about it? The person who framed you might not be a demon or an angel, but the council itself!”

“Nonsense! How is that possible?!” War was stunned for a moment before roaring at Roy, “I’m a Horseman of the council. Why did the council frame me?”

Puh! Roy spat to the side. The icy saliva hit the hot ground and immediately made a sizzling sound before slowly melting. Roy then asked, “Why is it impossible for the council to frame you?”

Roy stretched out his finger and poked War’s chest. “Think about it carefully. With your personality, and on your body, what do you have that can be made use of?!”

War was stunned. He lowered his head and pondered, not speaking for a long time.

After a while, War raised his head and asked Roy, “Why are you telling me this?”

“Because I made another deal with Fury, and I obtained a chance to summon the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. I don’t want you to be tied up here when I need to summon you in the future!” Roy stretched lazily. “Of course, it would be even better if you’re willing to tell me where the Red Sea Egg is!”

“…” War stared at Roy for a long time, and Roy looked at him calmly. Finally, War lowered his head again and whispered, “Southeast, the ruins!”

“Thank you!” Roy nodded, stood up, spread his wings, and flew away without hesitation.

War raised his head to look at Roy’s departing figure and could not help but narrow his eyes…

Roy followed War’s guidance and quickly flew southeast.

Showing the image crystal to War was just a way to win his trust. What Roy told War afterward was to plant a seed in his heart.

With the seven seals not completely destroyed, the matter of War being summoned was indeed full of doubts. While War was imprisoned, it was impossible not to think about this, but he did not think about the council that he was loyal to. It felt hard to see what was right under your nose, but Roy’s appearance woke him up.

Although Roy could guess what Samael and Lilith were scheming, and what the Charred Council had done in the middle, he could not make it too clear because he could not explain how a high-rank demon like him obtained this information. So he could only go over it simply. After making the deal with Fury, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were no longer a threat to him but potential allies. After all, Death and Fury of the Four Horsemen were investigating the truth of Corruption power, and they needed the help of Roy, a demon who knew about ‘Void’ power. Since they were potential allies, Roy naturally had to help War. He had to point him in the right direction so that he could discover the truth about him being framed earlier, and in turn, War would then trust him more.

This way, when Roy truly needed to summon the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in the future, perhaps they would be happier when responding to the summons… right?

Roy flew quickly, and it did not take long before he found the ruins War mentioned.

Instead of ruins, it was more like… an ancient battlefield!

Roy could see countless bones. These bones were scattered over dozens of square kilometers on the ground. At first glance, he felt endless shock. With these bones were numerous damaged and rusted armor, swords, and war equipment!

This place was actually a battlefield left over after a battle between angels and demons!

In the center of the battlefield in the distance, Roy saw what he was looking for—the Red Sea Egg!

Compared to the Red Sea Egg he saw on the image crystal, the one Roy found looked quite small. The flesh on the surface of the egg looked dry and shriveled, and the roots rooted in the ground were much more withered.

Roy understood a little about why it was said that Lilith used the mingled dust of angels and demons to make the nephilim. Isn’t this the case right now? Is this huge flesh egg with plant characteristics grown by absorbing the nutrients from angel and demon corpses that seeped into the ground through the roots?

Perhaps this is the key to fusing angel and demon bloodlines?

While thinking, Roy landed in front of the Red Sea Egg. But what was strange was that as soon as Roy approached, he could feel the same magic power aura as Lilith’s on this huge egg Damn it, this thing isn’t really Lilith’s placenta, right? Roy thought with a strange expression. Red Sea Egg, Red Sea Egg… Isn’t Lilith known as the Red Sea Queen in some legends?
