V had already walked to Urizens side. At this moment, he was already exhausted, and his skin was showing signs of cracking inch by inch. He had little magic power left, as he had almost used it all after fighting the demons along the way. Without magic power, his life might come to an end. So even if Roy had not said it just now, he would have sought the opportunity to kill Urizen with his own hands and then become one with Urizen to restore his original identity as Vergil.

But after hearing Roys words, he could not help but stop and turn around in surprise.

Dante was also stunned and said in disbelief, W-what did you say? Find our father, Sparda?! I-is this possible?

Why not? Roy asked.

Dante stretched out his hand and gestured twice, but he did not know where to begin. In the end, he could only say, In fact, over the years, whether it was me or Vergil, weve tried to find our fathers whereabouts, but there has been no news. Youre a demon from outside this world. What makes you think you can find him?

Roy shook his head. Youre half-demons like Sareth, but you seem to have lived in the human world for too long, so you dont know much about demons and your father.

The power of frost condensed under Roys feet, and an enormous frozen throne gradually took shape. Roy removed his True Name Liberation state, shrank a lot, and sat down on the throne. Julia and Benia walked over and sat on the left and right sides of the throne. After doing this, he looked down at Dante and slowly said, Have you ever thought about why the weapons Sparda left for you still have powerful magic power in them after so many years?

Huh? Isnt this normal? Dante was confused and spread his hands.

If they were weapons purely infused with magic power, of course its abnormal! Roy said. Just like the weapon I gave Sareth, I infused my power into it. But after he used it, theres not much left of my power in the weapon.

Dante looked at Sareth and found him nodding. He took out Executioner and showed it to Dante. After the plague storm, Foster Fathers power is almost gone.

Dante did not know about the plague storm, but Nero and V knew. They nodded at Dante, indicating that it was true.

Okay! Dante spread his hands. What are you trying to say?

Roy pointed at the sword on Dantes back. Weapons that purely have magic power infused into them can only be regarded as disposable items. However, demons have a way to keep magic power in their weapons for a long time. Even if its exhausted, it can slowly restore. This method is soul weapons! Demons can split their souls into smaller fragments and then use the soul fragments to forge weapons. In such weapons, the soul fragments are the energy core, so they can continuously produce magic power. Your father, Sparda, is also a demon, so he naturally used this method

Dante finally understood. He took out the demon sword and held it in his hand, sizing it up in disbelief. You mean that the soul fragments of the old man exist in both Rebellion and Yamato?

Yes! Roy nodded. Soul weapons can generally be used by the creators and the descendants with the bloodline of the creators. Because you have Spardas demon blood flowing in your bodies, you can resonate with the soul fragments in the weapons and display the greatest power of the weapons. Others cant do this.

While speaking, Roy opened his palm and used Psychokinesis to control the demon sword in Dantes hand to fly into his palm. Caught off guard, Dante hurriedly rushed forward to grab his sword back, but Roy grinned and said, Dont worry. If I wanted to snatch it, I wouldnt have only taken action now!

Uh Dante could only stop.

Roy held Demon Sword Dante in his palm with an invisible force and slowly rotated it. If I remember correctly, there are three weapons forged by Sparda, right?

Thats right! Dante nodded. My Rebellion, Vergils Yamato, and Force Edge, which used to seal Temen-ni-gru, the tower thats the passage to the Demon World. But after Force Edge fused with the necklace left behind by my mother, it became the Sword of Sparda, which is the sword that the old man used.

Now, your Demon Sword Dante is equivalent to the product of the fusion of the Sword of Sparda and Rebellion! Roy rotated the sword while observing. Precisely because there are soul fragments of the same origin in them, the two swords could fuse together. Now, this Demon Sword Dante has two of Spardas soul fragments in it, which is why this demon sword is stronger than the original Rebellion.

Is that so? Dante said in enlightenment.

Listening at the side, Nero suddenly realized something and said, You mean that since Rebellion and the Sword of Sparda could fuse, then Yamato can fuse as well?

Thats right! Roy looked at Nero approvingly and nodded. I believe youve seen what the consequences of an incomplete soul are. Urizen, who is being crushed over there, is an example

Dante and Nero turned their heads and saw V stepping on Urizens chest. Urizen was lying on the ground, his bones shattered, and his lower body still being pressed down by the heavy meteorite fragments. He could not even move and was already on the verge of death.

He was indeed an example

Your father, Sparda, has legends about him even in the Abyss! Roy said. Although its been a long time, its undeniable that hes definitely an extremely powerful demon lord. Perhaps even stronger than me. Have you thought about it? Since he could seal his master, Mundus, why couldnt he protect his family afterward and ended up missing?

I see Dante said thoughtfully. In that case, the old man had already split a soul fragment out once for the Sword of Sparda that he used. Then because he left weapons for me and Vergil, he split out two more soul fragments. As a result, the loss to his soul is more severe

You wont be able to see the effect of soul deficiency in a short time, but it will indeed cause magic power to decline Roy said. You should be glad that Sparda placed his soul fragments in inanimate objects like weapons. At least the inanimate objects wont give birth to consciousness, causing the soul fragments to produce independent personalities. If such soul fragments are taken out, they might lead us to Sparda because of the tendency toward the master. If Sparda had used his soul fragments to create clones, even I might not have been able to do anything after so many years!

So, you want to fuse Demon Sword Dante and Yamato, and then take out the old mans soul fragments and find him through the soul fragments? Dantes expression was very complicated.

Yes! Roy looked at Dantes expression and said playfully, What? Dont you want to see your father again?

I dont know either Dante sighed. Maybe I still wanted to see him again when I was young, but after so many years, this thought seems to have faded because I dont know what to say when I see him

Roy smiled and gently threw the demon sword back to Dante. Dante grabbed it and inserted it back behind him. Roy looked in Vs direction. You heard, right? Perhaps you cant represent Vergil, so you should fuse back before making a decision!

Indeed V looked at Urizen, who was vomiting blood on the ground, and said to him, Our branches are connected, and our roots are intertwined You lack me and have become reckless and brainless. I lack you and have become weak. Admit it, Urizen. You and I are one!

Yes Yes, I hate it! Urizen looked at V and said intermittently, I I should have killed you and then fused with you. That way, it would have represented the victory of the demon side, and I would have obtained even stronger power

But now, Im the one killing you! V said as he raised his cane and stabbed it into the eye on Urizens chest. This represents the victory of the human side

The demon eye on Urizens chest spewed out a large amount of filthy blood again, staining Vs body and face. But no matter how hard he struggled, it was useless. As he became weaker and weaker, a light began to appear, enveloping both Urizen and V.

The light became brighter and brighter until eventually becoming extremely dazzling. Dante, Nero, and the others could not help but cover their eyes.

After the light faded away, both Urizen and V disappeared, replaced by the back of a tall man standing on the spot.

This man had white hair the same color as Dantes, but it was not as sloppy as Dantes. Instead, it was short, neat, and standing upright. He was wearing a blue trench coat, and the trench coat swayed gently in the breeze. In his left hand was a katana with a long white handle and a simple and smooth blade.

Vergil Dante could not help but cry out softly when he saw this back.

Dante Vergil slowly turned around, looked at Dante, and then at Roy.

Damn it. Its really him Nero gnashed his teeth as he stared at Vergil. He felt a faint pain coming from the cut on his right arm.

Vergil was the culprit who took away his demon right arm. Although Nero already knew Vs identity, it did not mean that he had forgiven Vergil. So when he saw that Vergil had really returned, he held the Red Queen behind him and wanted to rush at Vergil.

But at this moment, Dante reached out and stopped him. Wait, Nero!

Dante! Why are you stopping me? Nero roared. This bastard took my right arm. I have to take revenge!

You cant attack him! Dante said.

Why? Nero did not understand.

Well talk about it later! Dante held Nero back with all his might. After stopping him temporarily, he looked at Vergil and said, Vergil, you know what Im thinking, right?

Dante my brother A slight smile appeared on Vergils cold face. Actually, even I didnt expect to have the same idea as you one day

Then what are we waiting for? Dante took off the demon sword from his back, and Vergil crouched down slightly and held the hilt of Yamato.

Seeing this scene, Nero was in disbelief. Of course, he knew about the enmity between Dante and Vergil, but at this time, why did these two brothers still want to fight each other after meeting?!

After a moment of silence, Dante and Vergil suddenly burst out with great speed and charged at each other.

Just as Nero thought that the two of them were about to fight, the situation suddenly changed. When Dante and Vergil charged to the middle, they suddenly turned in unison. Dante held his demon sword, Vergil held his Yamato, and the two of them were side by side as they stabbed at Roy, who was sitting on the throne!
