Chapter 163 Not Telling

“W-what nonsense are you saying?!”

Although she said this, anyone could feel the unconscious trembling in the watcher’s voice. This was the first instinctive reaction from the body when a secret was exposed...

Roy pinched the watcher’s head. He was so close to her that he naturally felt it very clearly, so he increasingly confirmed his guess.

He swayed his tail slightly as he picked up the Talisman of Sin in his hand and continued to speculate. “Hmm, let’s think back and see. When Fury threw this thing to me just now, she said that this talisman was on Envy’s body after she killed it. She said that this thing could allow Envy to interconnect powers with the other Seven Deadly Sins... But then the question arises, why should Envy interconnect powers with the other Seven Deadly Sins?”

Julia could not help but ask, “Yes, why?”

“There’s only one possibility!” Roy turned to Julia. “That Envy was simply a fake! The so-called interconnecting powers is basically fake. The true function of this talisman is to steal powers without permission from the other Seven Deadly Sins and then use it to disguise herself!”.

Hearing this, Julia suddenly came to a realization. “I understand! If the strange bird that Fury defeated was really one of the Seven Deadly Sins, then it should have been powerful. There’s no reason for it to borrow other powers through the talisman!”

“That’s right!” Roy nodded in approval. “And it’s very easy to verify this. As long as we find the other Seven Deadly Sins and see if they have the same Talisman of Sin, we’ll understand! If there’s a talisman, my speculation is wrong. But if the other Seven Deadly Sins don’t have one, and only that strange bird had it, that proves there’s a problem...”

Roy looked at the watcher pinched in his hand with a teasing expression. “Am I right? The true Deadly Sin-Envy!”

Julia looked at Roy in surprise and then at the watcher in his hand, who had stopped struggling. She said in disbelief, “You’re saying that she’s the real Envy?! The watcher sent by the Charred Council to a Horseman of the Apocalypse is actually one of the Seven Deadly Sins?! What... what is it trying to do?!”

“I’ll have to ask her!” Roy grinned and said to the watcher, “Why are you still pretending? I suppose I’ll have to bring you to find the other Seven Deadly Sins to verify it!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the watcher suddenly said, “No need! There’s no Talisman of Sin among the other Seven Deadly Sins...”

These words undoubtedly admitted that Roy’s speculation was right. However, after her identity was exposed, the watcher did not panic at all. Although Roy was still pinching her, she said calmly, “So, demon, what do you plan to do with me? Will you seal me into the talisman?”

While saying this, the watcher quietly mobilized her magic power and prepared to fight Roy and Julia.

She really did not expect this demon in front of her to be so... sharp! He could deduce so much with just a little flaw.

Fury’s carefree personality, coupled with her preconceived mentality, caused her to be deceived and not doubt the authenticity of Envy. But now, a demon found out. This was seriously...

The original intention of the watcher was to take back the Talisman of Sin that Fury had given Roy. It was something very important to her, but instead of taking it back, she was exposed by Roy. The watcher greatly regretted it. If she had known earlier, why would she have stayed behind alone? Why not leave with Fury first?

However, just as the watcher, or rather the true Envy, was about to fight with all her might, Roy suddenly loosened his hand and let go of her!

“Huh?! W-what’s the meaning of this?!”

The watcher was dumbfounded. She floated in the air and looked at Roy in astonishment, not knowing what he was up to. “I’m in a good mood now, and I don’t want to kill you!” Roy stretched his claws and flashed a sinister grin at the watcher. “So, you can get lost now!”

Hearing this, let alone the watcher, even Julia was dumbfounded. She tugged at Roy’s wings and said anxiously, “Osiris! What the hell are you doing? Didn’t you agree to help Fury capture the Seven Deadly Sins? That’s a million souls! Now that one of the Seven Deadly Sins is here, you actually want to let her go?!” “What Seven Deadly Sins? I don’t see any!” Roy calmly held his demon horns with both hands and stroked them up along the horns. This action was just like styling his hair back when he had hair, making Roy feel extremely comfortable.

“You don’t see any? Isn’t she right in front of you?!” Julia had yet to react and still argued.

“Nonsense!” Roy could not help glaring at her. “Didn’t Fury kill Envy? How can she not be sure about this? We’re going to catch the other six!”

“Uh...” Julia was stunned. She finally realized that something was wrong. Although she still did not understand, she cleverly shut her mouth and did not say anything else.

After settling Julia, Roy turned to look at the watcher and said in a threatening tone, “Aren’t you going to get lost?! I’m just giving the council behind you some face. Do you really think I don’t dare to kill you?”

The watcher looked at Roy suspiciously. She did not understand why Roy, who had already discovered her true identity, still let her go. But she was not a fool. Since Roy had made it so clear, why should she continue to stay here?

So she turned around and quickly floated to chase after Fury, who had already left.

After she left, Julia asked Roy curiously, “What do you want to do?” “I don’t want to do anything!” Roy stretched his body, bones, and wings, making cracking sounds. “If I want to exchange for a million souls from Fury, I only need seven souls in the talisman when I finally give it to her. As for whether or not one of them is wrong, it’s not my problem, but Fury’s problem...”

Hearing this, Julia nodded, seeming to understand. She could feel that Roy seemed to be plotting something, but it was a little hazy to her, and she could not see it thoroughly, so she could only suppress her doubts for the time being.

Only when Roy and Julia were left at the scene did the timid Vulgrim finally emerge from the Purgatory Space. He had witnessed everything that had happened, but just like Julia, Vulgrim could not guess what Roy was thinking. But this profiteer was smart enough. He had always been adhering to the principle of not caring about things that he should not care about, so he said to Roy flatteringly, “Your Excellency Osiris, congratulations on making a big deal. One million souls! Even I have to work for several years to obtain so many souls through trading!”

“All right. You’ll benefit when the time comes!” Roy waved at him and said meaningfully, “Early birds might not necessarily have worms to eat, but smart birds will definitely be able to eat them. Do you understand what I mean?”

“Of course!” Vulgrim replied while reaching out his hand to make a zipping motion over his mouth.

“Very good. Let’s go and find the other Seven Deadly Sins!” Roy spread his wings and flew up, and Julia hurriedly followed behind. As for Vulgrim, he returned to the Purgatory Space and disappeared. He would not follow when fighting was needed...

On another side, the watcher quickly caught up to Fury.

Seeing her appear, Fury asked her, “Where did you go just now?”

The watcher explained quietly, “I stayed behind and secretly looked at the demon named Osiris. He stayed there for a while before leaving. He probably went to look for the remaining Seven Deadly Sins according to your instructions. Honorable Mistress, do you truly feel assured entrusting the mission to him?”

The watcher lied, but Fury did not know this. It was said that personality determined fate. Fury’s bad temper and negligent personality made her not doubt the watcher, who had always been respectful. Fury smiled confidently. “Hmph! Although that guy is a high-rank demon, and his strength is enough to deal with the Seven Deadly Sins... don’t think I don’t know what he’s thinking...”

“Huh?” The watcher was stunned for a moment before hurriedly asking, “Honorable Mistress, you guessed his plan?”

“Of course!” Fury said with certainty. “What he said earlier about using the secrets of Void power to exchange for the secrets of us nephilim and that he wants to have a powerful descendant with that fallen angel was all false! His true goal is probably to find a way to promote to demon lord!”

“Is... is that so?” The watcher did not know how to respond.

“I’ve been dealing with demons for many years!” Fury said. “That’s why I’m very clear about the thoughts of these demons. There are so many high-rank demons from the Abyss of Hell, and every one of them is trying to find a way to promote to demon lord. But only a few lucky ones can advance to become demon lords. Talent and luck are indispensable! But since he can think of seeking the secrets of the nephilim to help his promotion, he’s a clever demon!”

“Then, will you agree to his terms?” the watcher asked carefully.

“Of course!” Fury nodded. “As long as I can verify that what he said is true, I will fulfill my part. After all, that guy signed a demon contract with me.”

“I think it’s better for you to reconsider!” the watcher said. “It won’t be good if there’s another lord-level figure among the demons...”

However, Fury glared at her after hearing this. “Do you think I’ll be afraid?”

“No, that’s not what I meant!” The watcher quickly waved her hands in denial. “Mistress, you’re so powerful, so how could you be afraid of a demon lord...”

Fury was finally satisfied. “Okay, you don’t have to say any more about this. Anyway, even if he obtains the secrets to the birth of the nephilim, he might not necessarily be able to use them... Now, I need to find an entrance to an alternate space and then go and see my eldest brother, Death, who has no news and traces. I’m certain that he must be thinking of a way to save War. Although I don’t like him very much, I think he’s probably the only one among the Four Horsemen who can truly come into contact with ‘depravation’...”
