Chapter 467: The Deceived Mundus

Looking at the two small snakes biting each other and moving slowly, Dante, Vergil, and Bayonetta fell silent.

Because they knew that what Rodin said involved the core knowledge and secrets of angels and demons.

But what they did not know was that only a special existence like Rodin, who had fallen from an angel to a demon and still retained his original memories, would know the relations.h.i.+p between the Ouroboros Mark and the Mbius strip Other demons or angels might not necessarily know these secrets.

The Mbius strip is the name in the human world! Rodin said in a deep voice. Among angels and demons, this mark is usually called a divine spark! It is the embodiment of the will of the world and the gift of the Abyss and the Garden of Eden. Only when this mark exists in the soul can angels promote to Archangels, and demons can become demon kings; only when this mark exists can you control authority and become a true G.o.d!

Then how can we sublimate the Ouroboros Mark into the Mbius Mark? Sareth asked. In fact, he had actually been memorizing this knowledge since Rodin began speaking and was prepared to tell his foster father when he returned. He knew that Roy had been troubled about how to promote to demon king for a long time. It was simply impossible for this method of promoting to demon king to exist in any inherited memories. Now that he had finally met someone willing to talk about it, Sareth certainly would not miss it.

Yes, I also feel its a little strange! Vergil a.s.sisted. Since there are Ouroboros Marks in the souls of angels and demons, can it be achieved by devouring each others souls?

Hmph, how could it be that simple? Rodin said. In order to form the Mbius Mark, your Ouroboros Mark must first be incomparably solid. This requires you to have an extremely powerful soul and continuously nourish the mark through the power of your soul. It takes a long time to be able to do it. Moreover, you need to obtain the other half of the Ouroboros Mark through enemies. Demons need to devour the souls of angels, and angels need to obtain the souls of demons. Although the number doesnt necessarily need to be a lot, it must at least reach a level where the mark is more solid. After absorbing the mark into your soul, you also use your soul power to nourish the two marks at the same time. Finally, after reaching a certain balance, the two Ouroboros Marks have the possibility of fusing.

Listening to Rodins narration, everyone felt their scalps tingle. Wasnt this too difficult?

No wonder many demons like to devour the souls of angels. They probably want to obtain the Ouroboros Mark of angels, right? Sareth said thoughtfully.

Not necessarily. Most of it is instinctual! Rodin said. The hatred between demons and angels is the true reason why they devour the others souls. But over hundreds of millions of years, there have naturally been demons who coincidentally achieved the fusion of the Mbius Mark. This is also why existences at the demon king level appeared in the latter era.

I understand what you mean! Dante slapped his thigh. The reason Mundus plundered the Ouroboros Marks of other demons is that he doesnt want to nourish the mark over a long period of time, so he used this method to achieve it. Is that right?

Thats right! Rodin nodded. He took another puff of his cigar and spread his hands. Then, you should have figured out the reason why he and Balder are cooperating, right?

Hmm, it should be that Balder can provide him with an equally solid angelic Ouroboros Mark to help him complete the Mbius Mark, which is the condensation of a divine spark, so that Mundus can become a true demon king! Dante said in one breath, but then he said in puzzlement, But heres the problem. Balder is only a Lumen Sage. Even if hes an agent of the angels, its impossible for him to have such a mark. Then, where did his Ouroboros Mark come from? Also, Balder is deliberately helping Mundus. What does he get from Mundus?

Yeah, I dont understand either! Nero said. Im the first to doubt that Balder is helping Mundus regardless of any returns. He must be able to obtain some benefits.

Hehehe! Hearing their questions, Rodin could not help grinning. He looked at Bayonetta in front of him and said, I think only Bayonetta can answer these questions for you.

Everyone looked at Bayonetta and saw that she was looking down at a crescent-shaped gem at the slit on her chest. She was deep in thought and did not answer immediately.

When Dante and the others looked over, they could not help but follow her gaze and look at her chest, so they naturally saw her dazzling, white twin peaks!

Nero only took a glance before his face turned red, and he quickly turned his head away. After looking expressionlessly, Vergil turned his gaze to his feet. His right hand clenched into a fist by his mouth, and he pretended to cough. On the other hand, Dantes eyes lit up, and he almost wanted to whistle, but then he reacted and held back. At the same time, he did not forget to stretch out his hands to cover Sareths eyes.

Why are you covering my eyes? Sareth kicked Dante unhappily.

Stop messing around. Youre still young Dante still covered Sareths eyes and then said to Bayonetta, What a big gem No, what a round gem No, what a beautiful gem! What gem is that?

In the end, what he got in return was a slap on his stubbled face from Bayonetta.

After slapping him, she rolled her eyes at the men. While playing with the gem on her chest with her fingers, she said thoughtfully, This isnt a gem. Its the Left Eye of Darkness If Im not wrong, Balder is probably deceiving that Mundus guy

Huh? Whats going on? Everyone was taken aback.

Its a long story Bayonetta let go of the Left Eye of Darkness on her chest, took out a lollipop from a jar beside the bar, peeled off the wrapping paper, and put it into her mouth. While licking it slowly, she said, More than twenty years ago, I woke up from a coffin at the bottom of a lake and found that I had lost my memories. In order to retrieve my memories, Ive been wandering around the human world, but Ive been constantly attacked by angels. Their goal is to s.n.a.t.c.h this Left Eye of Darkness on my chest. It was during the confrontation with the angels that I gradually recovered my memories. In addition, I later encountered Jeanne. She told me that she and I were the only two remaining Umbra Witches. The former Witches had perished in the Witch Hunts that the angels instigated humanity to start hundreds of years ago.

At this point, there was a trace of confusion in Bayonettas eyes. Ive never thought of avenging my clan, but the angels are still attacking me. Ive repelled wave after wave, but there is an endless stream of them. If not for the help of Jeanne and Rodin, I doubt I would be able to keep persisting

Rodin smiled and made a gesture to Bayonetta that he was willing to for her.

Later, through my investigation, I found that there was a mastermind manipulating the angels behind this, and this mastermind is the last Lumen Sage, Balder! Bayonetta continued. All these years, Ive been investigating his whereabouts and goals, and I found that he actually wants the Left Eye of Darkness that is in the hands of the Witches. If he obtains it, he can fuse the Left Eye of Darkness and the Right Eye of Light held by the Lumen Sages, allowing the Eyes of the World to reappear. And the Eyes of the World are said to be the full power of Aesir

Power? Dante and the others fell into deep thought.

Yes, power! Bayonetta said. Imagine what the full power of a G.o.d will become if you add a Mbius Mark.

Balder also wants to become a G.o.d! Dante understood and pounded the counter. I get it. No wonder you said that Balder is deceiving Mundus. It seems like Balders true purpose in helping Mundus consolidate his Ouroboros Mark is to obtain the final form of this Mbius Mark. When he has a divine spark and the power, he will be able to become a true G.o.d in one leap!

Thats what I mean! Bayonetta said. The funny thing is that Mundus is likely kept in the dark. Otherwise, how could he let Balder take away his soul so easily?
