Under the dark night sky, Jubileus’s entire body was shining with dazzling light, especially the light emitted by the Eyes of the World on her forehead. She was using the power of the Eyes of the World to connect the time and space of the worlds while blocking enemies through the falling meteors and accelerating the fusion progress of the Trinity.
These falling stars were extremely similar to Tyrande’s ultimate move, but it was even more powerful than her Starfall…
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, who were fighting with her earlier, did not have any good ideas at this moment because most of these countless fallen stars were smashing down toward the four of them. This forced the four of them to spare no effort in dodging and had no time to divert their attention to stop Jubileus.
Roy could not care less about fighting the ancient angels of Aesir City at this moment. Anyway, Dante and the others had successfully escaped. What he was most worried about now was Julia, Benia, and the others.
The worlds were fusing, which meant that the spatial channel connecting the Demon World to Heaven was no longer useful. The entire Purgatory Space where the Demon World was was merging with Heaven. In other words, Julia and Benia, who had already retreated to the Demon World, would appear in Heaven again because of this. At that time, Jubileus would likely discover Julia’s existence immediately.
Roy had gotten Julia to return to the Demon World in order to prevent her from being found by Jubileus, so of course, he could not allow this to happen. He rode on Rafaro’s back and got him to pass through the gaps of the numerous meteors while he looked around to see where Julia and the others would appear. Due to the intertwining worlds, time and space were completely chaotic, and Julia and the others could suddenly appear anywhere.
Rafaro carried Roy while flying up and down. He was now extremely grateful that Roy had given him such a long body. If he were still his original enormous dragon size, he might have already been shot down by a meteor long ago. Now, he could rely on his mobility like a snake to find a chance to escape from the falling stars.
Roy also realized the advantage of Rafaro’s half-mechanical body in this situation. The electronic eye on his forehead allowed him to have a huge field of vision, and through constant calculations, he could determine the most favorable escape route. Roy patted Rafaro and said, “Find an opportunity to approach and save the Four Horsemen.”
Thus, Rafaro used his fastest speed to enter the densest area of meteors and unceasingly found gaps through the falling meteors. After a series of snake-like movements, he really brought Roy close to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Roy found an opportunity to reach out and pull them onto Rafaro’s back one by one.
As soon as Fury landed on Rafaro’s back, she roared angrily at Roy, “Osiris, you bastard! Look at how much trouble you’ve caused us!”
Roy shrugged. “There’s nothing I can do. If I could deal with her, why would I need to seek help from you?”
There was really nothing wrong with these words. For a moment, Fury was so choked that she could not even vent her anger. Death stretched out his hand to stop Fury and said to Roy, “We have to stop her actions. Although I don’t know what’s going on in this world, I can tell that she’s forcibly merging two independent worlds. Once the fusion is complete, everyone will die!”
“Of course I know!” Roy looked in the distance where Jubileus was. “But can you get close to her?”
“No! I tried just now…” War shook his head, causing the hood on his head to sway twice. He said in a deep voice, “This move is both offensive and defensive. Those meteors seem to have consciousness. The closer to her, the denser the meteors become and the faster they fall. If you want to rush to her, you’ll probably have to face a wall made of countless meteors, and it’ll be difficult to break through…”
“Perhaps…” Roy pondered. “There might be a momentary opportunity…”
“What kind of opportunity?” Strife used the gun in his right hand to shoot at his left arm. It was where his skin had burned after being grazed by a meteor. He used the bullet to blow away the burnt skin to allow the flesh and tissue below to regenerate.
“I’ve observed for a while now and discovered that the fusion process between the Demon World and Heaven is the fastest!” Roy deliberated over his words. “This might be because the Demon World and Heaven originally belonged to the same Purgatory Space… so the fusion between the Demon World and Heaven may be completed first. At that time, all the creatures of the Demon World will appear in this Heaven. And in the Demon World, there’s an existence with Jubileus’s soul fragment. She’s my person, a fallen angel. Once she appears, Jubileus will immediately sense the soul fragment in her body…”
“Understood!” War put the Armageddon Blade on his back. “If Jubileus senses her soul fragment, she might stop and take back her soul fragment from that fallen angel first!”
“It’s also possible that this fusion process won’t stop. I don’t know if it will be interrupted!” Roy said. “But we can take a gamble.”
“In other words, there’s only a moment to assassinate Jubileus!” Death said. “If you want to kill a god, you really have to take a gamble…”
To be honest, Roy did not want Julia to be in danger. Otherwise, he would not have gotten her return to the Demon World first. But the problem was that Julia might not be able to hide now.
Since he could not stop it, it was best to use the moment Julia appeared to choose the most beneficial action.
Thinking of this, Roy suddenly thought of something and frowned.
Fury saw his expression and could not help asking, “Did you think of something?”
“I just find it strange…” Roy rubbed his demon horns. “After waking up, Jubileus wanted to search for her soul fragment at once. Even when you blocked her, she was still thinking about her soul fragment and wanted to go past you to the Demon World. Why did she suddenly think of fusing the worlds? Isn’t it making too much of a big deal to use this method to eliminate you?”
“I find it strange too!” Death nodded. “Could it be related to the sudden flash of light in her right eye earlier?”
“Flash of light in her right eye? When did this happen?” Roy looked up at Death in startlement.
“Probably a few seconds before she activated the falling stars. We all noticed it then…” Death replied.
“I see!” Roy was enlightened. “It’s Balder! His consciousness is still affecting Jubileus!”
Yes, speaking of the right eye, Roy thought of Balder. At that time, he had fused with the statue of Jubileus with Bayonetta, and the Right Eye of Light and the Left Eye of Darkness were on Balder and Bayonetta. Bayonetta had fused into the left eye of the statue, and Balder had fused into the right eye.
The so-called Trinity was the ultimate goal that Balder had been obsessed with and constantly pursuing. It made sense if his consciousness was affecting Jubileus’s actions!
“So, does this mean that Bayonetta isn’t dead?” Roy muttered softly. “Her consciousness and soul are still in Jubileus’s body?”
Just as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly answered, “Of course! She won’t die so easily!”
Roy and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse turned their heads in unison and looked behind. They saw a figure appear from illusory to reality on Rafaro’s back. This figure was a bald, burly man with dark skin, wearing sunglasses on his face and had a cigar in his right hand full of rings. He was smoking, and his left hand was in his pocket, giving off a wild aura.
“Who are you?” Strife immediately aimed a gun at him.
Without waiting for him to answer, Roy looked at the bald black man strangely and asked in doubt, “Rodin?”
“Oh? You know me?” It was Rodin who appeared on Rafaro’s back. After hearing Roy’s words, he looked up at the tall Roy and said in puzzlement, “I’m sure I haven’t seen you, but why do you know me?”
“Sareth is my foster son!” Roy replied.
“Is that so? How lucky. It seems like you’re Osiris, the current ruler of the Demon World!” Rodin grinned like a dauntless bandit. “No wonder you know me…”
Roy asked, “Why are you suddenly here?”
“The human world I’m in is also fusing!” Rodin shrugged. “As for why I’m here, would you believe me if I said that it’s a coincidence of space-time disorder?”
Roy did not say anything and just stared at Rodin. I can’t see through him at all!
The aura that Rodin displayed felt like a demon lord’s, but for some reason, Roy felt that this fellow was definitely stronger.
What kind of coincidence would make him appear on Rafaro’s back all of a sudden? You had to know that Rafaro was carrying everyone and flying around quickly at this time. What kind of space-time disorder could let him land on an object moving at high speed so accurately?
Roy did not believe his words at all…
Not only him, but the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse also looked at Rodin solemnly. After a moment of silence, War stepped forward and asked, “Who are you?”
“The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse! I’ve heard so much about you!” Rodin nodded. “I’m just a homeless demon.”
“No, not right!” Strife shook his head. “You…”
Before he could finish speaking, Death suddenly stretched out his hand to pull Strife back. “Okay, no matter who you are, tell me. What is your purpose for appearing here?”
“It’s nothing. I’m just sending you a helper…” As Rodin spoke, he turned to look at Jubileus.
Everyone followed his gaze and saw a figure shuttling among the falling meteors. It was a woman with silver-white hair, wearing a tight red leather suit and riding a… motorcycle! This motorcycle was strangely driving in the air with the help of a unique magic field, and it even bounced back and forth on the falling meteors from time to time!
It was Bayonetta’s friend, the other remaining Umbra Witch, Jeanne!
