Chapter 443: Twin Worlds

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The so-called true names were not only possessed by demons. In fact, angels also had them, and dragons as well. All races that relied on soul memories to pass down their legacies had true names.

And the reason why these races with true names would think of ways to hide them was naturally because of the existence of the ‘spirit of language’ power in mysticism.

One had to know that true names were inherited in soul memories, so it was naturally linked to the souls of living creatures. When an enemy knew your true name, theoretically speaking, the power of the spirit of language could directly touch your soul and cause immense damage to it. Moreover, this damage was impossible to defend against…

Of course, Sparda did not know all of Mundus’s true name. It was only a part of it. How should it be put? This portion of Mundus’s true name was not deliberately discovered by Sparda but accidentally exposed by Mundus himself.

After unifying the Demon World, Mundus became increasingly arrogant. He began to regard himself as a god and tried to make all creatures worship and believe in him.

Look at the titles he gave himself: the Monarch of the Demon World, the Eternal Sovereign, the Creator of the Demon World, the Sacred Father of Demons, the Great Creator, Great Emperor Mundus. When he made statues of himself, he even portrayed himself as a god… During this process, a portion of his true name was inevitably revealed.

Although it was only a portion, it was enough to give Sparda an enormous advantage in the battle against Mundus.

In game terms, if an enemy knew all of the true name of a demon, then the enemy could deal 100% true damage to them that ignored their defense. Although Sparda only knew part of Mundus’s true name and could not reach 100%, at least 30% or 40% was always there.

Sparda was also one of the Chosen Ones of the Abyss. Although no one really knew what the so-called ‘Chosen Ones of the Abyss’ were, there was no doubt that they were all demons with astonishing talent and could grow rapidly. It was not a coincidence that Sparda was chosen. Not only was he proficient in sword techniques, but he was also extremely skilled at dark sealing magic. Although Sparda was still a little inferior to Mundus, the gap was not that big.

So during the battle with Mundus, Sparda found the opportunity to seal him!

With the strength of a demon lord, he defeated a demon who was about to become a demon king. This result was truly unfathomable, but Sparda did it.

Of course, he could only seal Mundus and not really kill him. After plundering and absorbing all the Ouroboros Marks of countless demons of the Demon World, Mundus was already a being with an immortal soul. At this level, let alone Sparda, even Archangels such as Gabriel or Michael would find it difficult to purify Mundus’s soul completely.

Demon kings could only be sealed, but they would not perish. This had always been a saying in the Abyss.

Although Sparda had successfully sealed Mundus, the name of the traitor Sparda could not be washed away. In addition, he had indeed violated his superiors, so all the demons of the Demon World regarded him as an enemy, and there was no place for Sparda in the Demon World.

With no other choice, Sparda could only go to the human world.

Interestingly, no one knew where the news came from, but when the humans of the human world heard about the upheaval in the Demon World, they really thought that Sparda had betrayed his compatriots to protect them. Therefore, they regarded Sparda as their savior, praised him for his noble soul, and worshipped him endlessly.

Without Mundus’s rule, the demons of the Demon World no longer had any constraints, and they once again became scattered and fought separately. So naturally, they would not be able to invade the human world on a large scale. From this point of view, Sparda had indeed saved the human world once, giving the humans of this world a chance to recuperate and develop civilization.

The power of Sparda’s seal on Mundus weakened over time, but this seal lasted for two thousand years. During these two thousand years, Sparda spent most of his time in the human world, allowing him to observe the human race better and closer.

Perhaps because he had observed for too long, he was gradually affected by humans. Not only did he create a human incarnation for himself, but he also had feelings like humans. One day two thousand years later, he fell in love with a human woman named Eva, and thus Dante and Vergil were born.

However, the flag of returning home to get married was like a curse. Not only was it effective for humans, but also for demons. Not long after Sparda got married and had children, Mundus broke through the seal and caused Sparda’s family to fall apart…

His wife died tragically, and his pair of children were separated. Sparda was in tremendous pain at that time. He also realized that as long as Mundus was alive, he and his family could not have a peaceful life at all. So not long after the tragedy happened, he quietly sneaked back to the Demon World and wanted to find a way to seal Mundus again.

However, when he returned to the Demon World, he discovered that Mundus had done many things during the two thousand years he was sealed. Even though he slept most of the time in the seal, he would occasionally wake up for a while. During this period of time, Mundus would contact his demon subordinates and order them to do things.

Through investigation, Sparda found that Mundus had been plotting a huge scheme and seemed about to succeed.

Therefore, under the urgency of this emergency, Sparda could not worry about too much. He gave up the opportunity to challenge Mundus for revenge and chose to use himself as the sealing medium to stop Mundus’s scheme…

Sparda’s narration of the events was not that detailed. Roy deduced all of this from Sparda’s description and some of the situations he knew.

“So, you mean you want to continue maintaining the existence of the seal and give me the task of repelling Mundus?” Roy concluded. Then he looked at Sparda with a sneer. “Then, have you ever thought about what would happen if I refuse?”

Roy put a hand on his chin and tilted his head to look at Sparda. “Mundus hates you the most, not me! It can even be said that Mundus and I have never even had any dealings. So why should I take the risk of fighting a demon king to help you?”

“Hahaha!” Sparda let out a deep laugh. “Demon Osiris, because I know that you won’t reject me. I already know your intentions through the memories in the soul fragments. I can tell you everything I know about the Demon Bible. I also pursued the Demon Bible in the past, so I’m certain that I know more than you! Also, Mundus took away the Ouroboros Mark in your souls when you entered this world. Even if you immediately return to the Abyss, these marks won’t be able to return. Moreover, this state of losing the mark will always accompany you. No matter which world you go to next, there won’t be another mark. So if you want to regain the marks, you have to defeat Mundus!”

“You’re certain that I’ll help you…” Roy sighed. “As expected of an old demon who has lived for nearly ten thousand years!”

After hearing Roy’s words, Dante could not help but sneak a glance at his brother. Vergil had truly inherited his father’s deep scheming…

Sparda did not say anything and just looked at Roy. He knew that after saying so much, Demon Lord Osiris would definitely submit.

However, what he did not expect was that Roy suddenly grinned sinisterly. “Actually, I have another choice!”

With that, before Sparda could react, Roy suddenly waved his hand to summon Frostmourne. Powerful magic power quickly condensed on the sword, and then he slashed at the magic power chains that tied Sparda to the seal!

“No! No!” Sparda shouted.

But it was too late. Magic power sparks immediately shot out from Frostmourne’s blade as it severed the chains!

Roy used this violent method to destroy Sparda’s seal formation!

The moment the magic power chains broke, the ground where the seal was immediately trembled. Moreover, this pentagram seal formation was basically connected to one another. After the seal at this point was destroyed, the seals at the other four points immediately had a chain reaction and broke one after another.

The ground was trembling, and Sparda could not help but roar at Roy, “Damn it! What have you done?! Even if you’re unwilling to fight Mundus, there’s no need to destroy the seal formation!”

“I asked you what you were sealing, but you didn’t tell me!” Roy calmly inserted Frostmourne into the ground in front of him and smiled. “I’m very curious, so I chose the second option. Destroy the seal and release you. This way, won’t there be two people who can fight against Mundus?”

“You…” Sparda was just about to say something in anger when his body parts, which were at the other four sealing formations, appeared beside him and fused with his body. He could not be bothered to condemn Roy for the moment.

Yes, to Roy, this second choice was the most beneficial because he could not take the enormous risk of fighting Mundus alone with merely a few words from Sparda. After so many years, Sparda’s mind had long changed, and he did not seem to regard himself as a demon anymore. So just like how he could not believe Roy, a compatriot from the Abyss, Roy could not believe him either. Therefore, Roy felt that he should release Sparda, the target of Mundus’s hatred, and let him be the main force of the battle, while Roy would only need to support from the side.

With the presence of the Legendary Demon Swordsman Sparda, the success rate of defeating Mundus would greatly increase. As long as they could defeat Mundus, it was only a matter of time before taking back the Ouroboros Marks. As for what Sparda knew about the Demon Bible, Roy also had a way to get him to talk… Don’t forget that Dante and Vergil were here…

The trembling of the ground became more and more intense, and the altar of the sealing formation was gradually collapsing. A vast amount of magic power soared into the sky from the altar, and the same thing was happening at the other four points of the pentagram. When the five immense magic powers converged in the sky of the Demon World, a pitch-black, incomparably giant hole appeared in the sky of the Demon World.

“W-what is that?!” Nero opened his mouth wide as he looked at the hole. Although he could not see it, he could roughly sense it, so he could not help but exclaim.

Sparda had already merged his body parts at this time and could not help but sigh. “It’s a spatial channel!”

“Spatial channel? Where does it lead?” Julia asked.

“It leads to a twin world that is very similar to this world!” Sparda could no longer conceal it. “This world is a very rare twin world in the Infinite Worlds. Although its appearance is wrapped in the Purgatory Space, if you pass through the Purgatory Space, you will not return to the void but another extremely similar world!”

“Twin worlds? That’s really rare, but…” Benia asked curiously, “Why did you seal this channel?”

“Because the world on that side is the world occupied by the defeated Heaven side!” Sparda said. “After their defeat in the battle with the Demon World, they did not return to Heaven but instead went to the twin world and stationed there. Now, this channel has opened again. In other words, the Eternal War will begin once again, and the twin worlds will fall into the endless flames of war…”
