When he calmed down and thought about it carefully, Roy realized that he had made a mistake.
He should not be another transaction partner of Jack Sparrow but the only one!
The real situation was that Jack Sparrow had already looked for Davy Jones once. He had looked for Davy Jones to get the Black Pearl that had sunk to the bottom of the sea! For this transaction, Jack Sparrow had made an agreement with Davy Jones. Both parties had agreed that after Jack Sparrow was the captain of the Black Pearl for thirteen years, he would go to the Flying Dutchman to serve hard labor.
When he made the deal, Jack Sparrow probably did not think too much about it. But to his surprise, after the Black Pearl was salvaged, Jack Sparrow only became the captain for two years before Barbossa successfully betrayed him.
During the past few years, the captain of the Black Pearl had been Barbossa, and Barbossa had been plundering throughout the Caribbean Sea with the help of the Black Pearl’s speed. Jack Sparrow could not take this lying down, and he had been looking for opportunities to take back the Black Pearl.
Roy had thought that he was Jack Sparrow’s other trading partner, but that was not the case. As time passed, the time limit between Jack Sparrow and Davy Jones became less and less. If Jack Sparrow dared to find Davy Jones to help him recapture the ship, even if Davy Jones did help him a second time, he would probably capture him first to fulfill the promise!
Davy Jones could only go ashore once every ten years because he was in charge of the Flying Dutchman. If Jack Sparrow wanted to go back on his word and not fulfill the agreement, he should not go to Davy Jones at this time.
Since he could not find Davy Jones, he could only think of another way to regain his Black Pearl.
But if Roy’s guess was correct, Barbossa and the others were already suffering from the undying curse of the Aztec gold coins and had become neither human nor ghost. For a long period of time, Barbossa and the Black Pearl’s crew would rush back and forth to search for the Aztec gold coins scattered all over the place in order to lift the curse.
Roy felt that Jack Sparrow must have already known about the situation of Barbossa and the others. Faced with these cursed traitors, Jack Sparrow probably could not think of any good ideas, so he came to find Roy after hearing the news of Roy being a demon.
If Roy did not help him, Jack Sparrow could only continue to wander around. It would probably take quite some time until he found Elizabeth, who had an Aztec gold coin, at Port Royal before he could retaliate against Barbossa...
After figuring this out, Roy immediately understood that Jack Sparrow was actually begging him, but Roy did not need Jack Sparrow.
Although his compass was magical, Roy was now inspired. He could use his souls to create a similar tool through the system to find the murderers.
Therefore, Roy shook his head and said, “No! What you proposed is not enough!”
That’s right. This deal that Jack Sparrow had mentioned was completely useless to Roy. For Roy, after harvesting the souls of the pirates, he could find those pirates at any time and help Cassandra carry out her revenge against her first target.
“Not enough?” Jack Sparrow was stunned when he heard this. “I’m just a homeless pirate now. What else do you want? Don’t tell me you want my soul like Davy Jones?”
Roy glanced at him and said, “What do I want your soul for? There’s nothing special about your soul!”
Yes, in Roy’s view, although Jack Sparrow was an important figure in this world, his soul was no different from any other.
Ever since he killed Van Helsing in the Van Helsing world, Roy had understood that these fantasy worlds were actually parallel worlds. The history of these worlds could be changed, and the so-called protagonists were only special characters in certain periods. Situations like Van Helsing, who was one of Gabriel’s incarnations, were very rare.
Furthermore, with Jack Sparrow’s character, since he had mentioned his soul, it meant that he had thought about going back on his word. Otherwise, how could a person who had not completely fallen to the bottom take the initiative to trade his soul with a demon?
“I’m so sad to hear you say that!” Jack Sparrow said. “I thought that Captain Jack Sparrow’s soul might be worth more... Okay, what do you want?”
“What do I want?” Roy could not help but glance at Cassandra. Then he extended his claws and slowly clenched his hand finger by finger in front of Jack Sparrow. He said coldly, “What I want is for the people of this world to fear me! I want them to know that my existence represents the existence of the Abyss of Hell! When people commit unforgivable crimes, the gates of Hell will open for them! As for me, Demon Osiris is the judge of the Abyss of Hell!”
Although his words were a little silly, they were indeed Roy’s heartfelt words. After hearing Roy’s words, Jack Sparrow was stunned. The dark circles under his eyes made his expression look rather comical.
“Wait, wait!” Jack Sparrow said carefully, “Are you sure you’re a demon and not an angel?”
“Is there a difference between an angel and a demon?” Roy glanced at him. “Have you ever thought about why demons exist? Good and evil are two sides of the same coin. When angels can blow their trumpets to extinguish life, why can’t demons bring salvation? Without destruction, how can there be new life? The existence of Heaven is to guide the good intentions of people, and the existence of Hell is to warn against the malice of people. Is there anything wrong with that?”
Jack Sparrow was dumbfounded, and so was Cassandra. But she was lifeless, so no one could tell.
However, just as Roy said this, the mist surrounding the Frozen Ghost Ship quietly dissipated. The sun shone down, but it did not give off any ominous feeling. Instead, it felt extremely gentle. The entire sea was strangely calm, and there was not a single movement in the air. The whole sea was as quiet as a mirror, as if the entire world had stopped at this moment.
In this strange silence, Roy felt as though there was a voice whispering into his ear. But even though he tried hard to listen, he could still not hear it clearly, and he did not know what this murmuring voice was saying to him.
Not only the murmur, but Roy also felt something warm wrap around his body. This warm feeling was neither the sea breeze nor sunlight, nor was it magic power or an aura. Roy could not explain it.
He did not know how long this strange situation that seemed as though time was still lasted. Perhaps a few minutes, or perhaps just an instant. When Roy came back to his senses, he found that the air was flowing again, and the surface of the sea was rippling slightly. The murmur had disappeared, and the warmth that enveloped his body had disappeared.
Cassandra moved again. She slowly knelt in front of Roy and said, “Master, thank you for your guidance!”
Although Jack Sparrow was not like Cassandra, he was not as carefree as he usually was. He seriously pondered over Roy’s words and said, “Well, perhaps what I heard from the demon is much more real than what I heard from the church...”
Roy did not care what the two of them were saying. He was still at a loss, wondering what had happened just now.
He was certain that it was definitely not an illusion, but when he sensed his body, he found nothing unusual about it.
Only when Roy opened the system interface did he realize that something strange had really happened.
In Roy’s attributes panel, a talent had silently appeared.
Voter of the Abyss: ???
There was no explanation, only question marks. The origin was unknown, and the description was unknown. Even when he asked the system, the system did not know what was going on. Roy was really confused.
This talent seemed to have something to do with the strange murmur earlier.
What was that murmur? The Language of All Things? The Great Dao of Heaven’s Will? Or was it some other indescribable existence?
This murmur appeared after I said those words, which meant that the source of it should be my words...
Could it be that my words had exposed the secrets of the Heavens?
But that isn’t right. Isn’t it said that exposing the secrets of the Heavens brings forth punishment? For example, reducing your lifespan. Why do I have an additional talent?
Voter of the Abyss... Although Roy did not understand the true meaning of this talent, just hearing this name alone made him feel that it was extraordinary. It was definitely something good...
It came so suddenly that I wasn’t mentally prepared! Roy muttered inwardly.
At this moment, Roy still did not know how powerful the words he said were. In fact, the fact that he could say those words meant that he had comprehended the true intention of the Creator!
For millions of years, as time passed, there were very few in Heaven and Hell who could remember this true intention. In order to fight for souls, Heaven and Hell had constantly been at war, and the angels and demons had long forgotten the original intention of the Creator. One side treated themselves as lofty gods, while the other side forgot their original mission and fell into destruction and slaughter, unable to extricate themselves...
Now, instead it was Roy, a demon with human thoughts and memories, who had comprehended it from Cassandra. Therefore, the moment he said those words, a power akin to the spirit of language had formed within him...
The Creator had long left, but no matter how much time passed, there would always be people who could comprehend his will. And these people were the so-called Voters...
Roy did not know this at this moment. He could only sigh at how much was still unknown in this mysterious world...
