Chapter 491: Power Contract

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Julia had found the origin of her soul, and Roy had successfully obtained the divine spark of the Möbius strip. He had achieved his goal of coming to this world, and it could even be said that he had exceeded his expectations.

Roy was still not familiar with the control of authority, so he could not wait to return to the Abyss. To him, Sparda and Dante’s worries were completely unnecessary.

“Don’t look at me like that!” Roy said to Sparda. “This is the Heaven world, so the situation is still okay. Once I enter the human world, even if I don’t want to leave, the world’s will probably won’t allow it!”

Hearing what Roy said, Sparda immediately heaved a sigh of relief and nodded. “I hope you don’t mind, Osiris… Your Majesty! After all, I’ve been in the human world for a long time, and the human world here is equivalent to my second hometown. I really don’t want it to be hurt…”

Roy was in a good mood, so he smiled teasingly. “Hmph. Aren’t you worried that without me around, no one in the Demon World will be able to suppress those guys?”

Sparda’s expression froze, and he smiled bitterly. “That’s for sure. Several demon lords are already dead. Madama Styx and the others might follow you back to the Abyss. Without a leader, those demons who come later will definitely seize the opportunity to fight for power and territory. The Demon World will probably be in chaos for a while.”

“Old man, why don’t we seal the Demon World again?” Dante suddenly said.

But Vergil interrupted first, “It’s useless. Dante, haven’t you realized? Even if the Demon World is really sealed, there will always be people in the human world who will do everything possible to open the seal.”

Dante snorted and retorted, “The person you’re talking about is you, right?” The two brothers stared at each other for a while before turning their heads at the same time and snorting.

Sparda finally took advantage of this opportunity to say, “There’s no need to seal it anymore. Dante and the others will be responsible for clearing the demons that enter the human world in the future…

Before he finished speaking, Sareth said with a strange expression, “By the way, did you make that decision because you don’t want your son to lose his

Yes, Dante was a demon hunter. If the Demon World was really sealed and there were no more demon invasions, Dante would really be poor…

After hearing this, Dante flew into a rage out of humiliation. He grabbed Sareth and messed up his red hair.

Roy did not comment on Sparda’s decision. In any case, after he left, he could not care less about what this world would become. He turned to look at Bayonetta and Jeanne.

These two Umbra Witches actually gave Roy a better feeling than Sparda and the others. After all, as contractors, Witches had more connections with demons. Roy said, “Even ancient angels should still have connections with the high-level Heaven. The fall of Archangel Jubileus is definitely a big deal for the high-level Heaven. Perhaps it won’t be long before a new angel archon will be sent to your world. At that time, you Witches will definitely become the greatest target. What do you think about this?”

Bayonetta had actually been sizing up Roy’s current appearance. Hearing this, she immediately shook her head. “It won’t be easy for those angels to kill us. You don’t need to worry about this. But… if possible, I hope to sign a contract with you, allowing me to borrow your power in this world.”

“Oh?!” Roy asked with interest. “So, what price are you willing to pay?”

“The souls of high-level angels!” Bayonetta placed her hands on her hips. “Believe me, even for a Witch who has been in contact with demons for a long time, it’s very difficult to encounter a powerful demon king like you. If I can reach a contract with you, I promise to offer the souls of three high-level angels to you every time I borrow your power!”

“Hmm…” Roy rubbed his chin with his thick fingers and thought for a while.

To Roy, the holy souls of high -level angels were actually not very useful because they could not satisfy his appetite and could not be used to absorb and increase magic power. Unlike those fanatical demons who took on the duty of eliminating angels, he lacked the sense of honor unique to demons. But even if he could not use them, the holy souls of high-level angels were actually a kind of resource. Now that Roy had entered the demon king level, he was at the top of the Abyss. He might be able to use such resources to exchange for good things with other demon kings.

“Sure!” Roy finally made a decision. “I allow you to borrow my power in this world!”

What happened next was logical. Roy and Bayonetta signed a power contract. The content of the contract stipulated that Bayonetta could only borrow Roy’s power in this world. Moreover, this borrowing was divided into levels. After borrowing one-tenth of his power, Bayonetta had to offer the souls of three high-level angels to him. Moreover, these souls had to be from at least four-winged angels. For every one-tenth of his power she borrowed, the corresponding offerings would also increase by three.

If Bayonetta wanted to borrow all of Roy’s power, she would need to offer at least thirty holy souls to Roy every time! This number was already quite a lot. Even though the Heaven here had a long history, it was difficult to gather the souls of so many four-winged angels…

Sparda and the others silently watched Bayonetta and Roy sign the contract without saying anything. Although they felt that it was a little dangerous for humans to borrow the power of demons and even demon kings, this was the world where the Witches were after all, and it had nothing to do with their world. The connection between the two twin worlds was mainly due to the connection between the Purgatory Spaces. As long as the Witches did not cross the boundary, it should not be a problem.

Moreover, they also believed that Witches, who had been dealing with demons for a long time, would not be unaware of the danger of demons. They should be more cautious about demon power. The power contract that Bayonetta and Roy signed might be more to increase her trump cards and prevent angels from attacking them…

Soon, the contract was completed. The moment the power contract was completed, Roy could clearly feel the location of the contractor, Bayonetta, and the spatial connection between him and her. In other words, if Roy studied spatial power more deeply, he might be able to appear beside her through this contract connection, bypassing the detection of the world’s will and appearing in Bayonetta’s world in a special way.

This was naturally a loophole in the rules. But unfortunately, Bayonetta clearly knew about the existence of this loophole. As a Witch who had signed power contracts with many demons, this loophole was easy to discover, so Roy’s feeling only lasted for a second or two before disappearing. He could no longer accurately sense the spatial coordinates of Bayonetta!

Perhaps this was because Bayonetta had used a secret technique unique to Witches…

Bayonetta and Roy had signed a power contract, but Jeanne did not. As Bayonetta’s best friend, she felt that she should take some precautions and not sign a contract with the same demon.

After dealing with these things, the most important thing was to find a way to separate the two gradually fusing Purgatory Spaces.

Whether it was the Heaven of Bayonetta’s world or the Demon World of Dante’s world, although the Purgatory Spaces of the two twin worlds were one in the past, they had been separated for so long. If they really fused together again, the impact on the two twin worlds would be incomparably immense. Putting aside the fact that the living spaces of angels and demons would be affected, leading to endless battles, just the human world on both sides would probably fall into unimaginable chaos.

Therefore, re-separating the Purgatory Spaces of the two worlds was the most important thing for Bayonetta and Dante.

Now, the only one who could do this was Roy, the new demon king…

Only almighty existences on par with gods could do this with supreme power. This was also why they were still gathered around Roy. But what they were most worried about now was that Roy would not be willing to do such troublesome things. After all, demons sometimes really did things according to their preferences…

Fortunately, Roy did not really ignore it because to him, re-separating the two merging Purgatory Spaces was something that could let him familiarize himself with the power of ‘authority’..
