Chapter 468: The Disappearance of Sareth
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
After recalling Mundus’s previous actions, even Dante and the others had to admit that what Bayonetta said was probably true. Balder was deceiving Mundus.
Mundus had plundered the marks of other demons, and under the power of the marks, his soul became immortal. Perhaps in his understanding, this was one of the prerequisites for a demon lord to promote to demon king. He thought that what he lacked next was only power and authority, but he did not realize that this mark was only half a divine spark.
Balder might have told Mundus that he would help him become a demon king, but he had concealed the information about the other half of the mark from him. His true goal was to take Mundus’s already solidified mark.
Out of trust for their past cooperation, Mundus let Balder escape with his soul. He was probably hoping that Balder could find an angel body for him to be reborn in, and at the same time, he could abandon his ugly insect-type demon appearance and become a perfect god.
Thinking of this, Dante and the others were speechless. They wondered if Mundus’s soul would shed tears after knowing the truth.
“It’s likely that Balder is already thinking of ways to strip the mark from Mundus’s soul, right?” Nero said. “If he succeeds, doesn’t that mean that he’s only one step away?”
After hearing Nero’s words, everyone could not help but look at Bayonetta’s chest and her big… gem.
“We can’t let Balder obtain the Left Eye of Darkness!” Dante looked away reluctantly and clenched his fists. “We can’t let either Mundus or Balder succeed. Bayonetta, you have to protect this gem. We will do our best to help you.”
“If nothing unexpected happens, I’m afraid she’ll be attacked by angels far more than before in the next short period of time!” Vergil held Yamato and said, “We have to help her withstand the attacks.”
Nero said eagerly, “In the other world, I’ve always been fighting against demons. This is my first time fighting angels!”
Sareth looked around at the three hot-blooded battle maniacs from the side and finally could not help but say, “Hey, didn’t we say that we wanted to find Mundus? As long as we find Mundus’s soul, Foster Father has a way to retrieve the marks!”
“Yes!” Dante returned to his senses and scratched his head. “This is also a solution. It’s also possible to break up Mundus’s half of a divine spark.”
“But is it too late?” Nero said. “What if Balder has already combined them into a Möbius Mark?”
“Then…” Sareth’s eyes lit up. Just as he was about to say that they might as well give this divine spark to his foster father, he suddenly thought of something and quickly changed his words. “That’s troublesome. Those demon lords are waiting to get their marks back.”
Sareth’s words gave everyone a headache. This was actually the biggest problem.
They finally understood why Rodin said that once this war began, it would not be easy to end. Think about it. If the demon lords could not get their marks back, how could they give up? Moreover, if the fused divine spark could not be broken down and was placed in front of angels and demons, would it cause them to fight for the divine spark? That was the hope of becoming a demon king or an Archangel!
Dante and the others could already vaguely sense that this war might have the risk of losing control. If they were not careful, it might affect the human worlds of the two twin worlds…
“Perhaps we should try to find where Balder and Mundus are first. If we can defeat Balder before his scheme succeeds, we might be able to avoid the worst from happening,” Nero suggested.
Dante turned to ask Bayonetta, “Do you know where Balder might be hiding?”
“Maybe in Vigrid. Although Balder is a Lumen Sage, he’s actually human. His status in the human world is the CEO of the Ithavoll Group!” Bayonetta explained. “The Ithavoll Group is a powerful mega-corporation, and its headquarters is in Vigrid. If Balder is still in the human world, then he should be in the Ithavoll headquarters.”
“Then, there’s no time to lose! Instead of waiting for angels to come attack while we passively defend, we might as well take the initiative to attack and kill our way into Balder’s lair first!” Dante took out Ebony & Ivory and checked the bullets. He swung the two guns around a few times and inserted them into the back of his waist with a click.
“Oh, this style is what I like!” Nero shouted. Vergil did not say anything and just silently stood up from his chair with Yamato in hand.
“Heh, men…” Bayonetta smiled and placed her hands in her hair bun. When she stretched out her arms again, she took out her four guns, Scarborough Fair. She leaned forward with one of her long legs that others could play with for years on the counter. After splitting each leg, she stuck two guns on the heels of her high heels with two clicks and held the remaining two in her hands. Then she placed one hand on her waist and pushed her glasses up with the muzzle of the gun in her other hand.
This series of fancy movements was full of enchantment and incomparable temptation, making Nero blush and Dante cover Sareth’s eyes again…
“Before you leave, I need to remind you…” Rodin held his cigar, his eyes hidden under his sunglasses, but his voice was low. “I’m afraid Balder doesn’t necessarily want to become a god himself, so you don’t need to focus all your attention on him.”
“Oh? What do you mean?” Dante asked in surprise.
“Because I suddenly remembered a prophecy that was circulating in Heaven many years ago…” Rodin said. “The general meaning of this prophecy is that if the Eyes of the World can be reassembled, Jubileus, the Goddess of Light who rules Heaven, can be resurrected. The angels seem to believe this prophecy firmly, and it was precisely after this prophecy began circulating that the Lumen Sages asked the Umbra Witches for the Left Eye of Darkness. At that time, the Witches were unwilling to hand it over, which triggered the war between the Sages and the Witches. After this war, the Sages were almost annihilated, and only Balder was left…”
“Jubileus? The Goddess of Light who rules Heaven?” Dante asked curiously. “Who is this? Isn’t it Aesir who rules Heaven?”
“No, Aesir was the original ruler. He completely perished in the war in the Demon World, and Jubileus is his successor. She was sent from the high-level Heaven of the Garden of Eden…” Rodin explained. “Moreover, it happened shortly after the angels evacuated to this world. But… the strange thing is that Jubileus never appeared again after arriving in Heaven here. The angels claimed at the beginning that she had fallen into a long slumber. But judging from that prophecy, something unexpected probably happened when she descended into this world…”
“Is that so?” The four of them looked at each other in dismay. An Archangel who had taken over, a powerful goddess, unexpectedly encountered an accident when descending. This matter was a little unbelievable no matter how they looked at it.
“In other words, Balder’s search for the Eyes of the World and his wish to synthesize a divine spark might not be his own use, but he might want to use it on this goddess who had an accident, right?” Nero concluded.
Rodin nodded. “That’s right. That’s why I’m reminding you. If Balder’s plan succeeds, then it’s very likely that you’ll face a powerful goddess as your opponent, so you have to be careful!”
“Okay, we’ll remember. Thank you for your reminder!” Dante nodded. Then he could not help but smile. “Rodin, you really don’t seem like a demon!”
“Hmph, it’s none of your business!” Rodin snorted and continued smoking his cigar.
They did not say anything else and left the bar with solemn expressions. After arriving on the street, Dante asked Bayonetta, “How do we go to Vigrid?”
“Sit on that!” Bayonetta pointed at the sky.
Everyone looked up and saw an enormous black shadow floating in the sky in the distance. It was actually a giant airship!
After seeing the airship, Dante whistled again. “That looks powerful!”
Under Bayonetta’s lead, everyone set off for the airship airport. But after walking for a while, Dante suddenly felt that something was amiss. He turned around and said in surprise, “Damn it! Where is Sareth?!”
Nero and the others quickly turned around, only to find that Sareth had really disappeared.
“Is this brat lost?” Nero asked anxiously. “Didn’t we tell him to follow us?”
“Should we go back and find him?” Bayonetta asked.
But at this moment, Vergil suddenly said, “There’s no need. Sareth left by himself…”
“You mean…” Dante was stunned.
“He should have gone back to find his foster father!” Vergil said expressionlessly. “Maybe because he heard so many secrets from Rodin, he couldn’t wait to go back and tell his foster father…”
Upon hearing this, Dante had nothing to say. Yes, although Sareth was a half-demon like them, his experiences were different from theirs. Sareth wholeheartedly supported his foster father, Osiris. Regarding this, Dante could not ask too much of Sareth…
“Forget it. Let’s go. It’s fine for him to go back and report the situation. After all, the matter with Mundus has exceeded what we originally thought. The Demon World also requires information on how to deal with it.” Dante finally said, “I hope the old man and the others can think of something…”
