âThis isâŚâ Dante held the glass of strawberry sundae and looked at Rodin in confusion.
âIâve heard of you, Dante!â Rodinâs deep voice sounded. But under the cover of his sunglasses, his expression could not be seen clearly. âDescendant of the Dark Knight Sparda, Child of Taboo, expert in hunting demons. Itâs our first time meeting. Welcome to the Gates of Hell. This is on me!â
âUhâŚâ Dante was a little speechless, but then he raised the glass and said, âThank you!â
Then Rodin looked at Vergil, Nero, and Sareth. âWhat about you? What would you like?â
âYou know Dante, you know that he likes strawberry sundaes, but you donât know what we like?â Nero asked with interest while walking forward.
Rodin took a puff of the cigar between his fingers and exhaled. âSorry, with all due respect, Dante is the most famous person in the Demon World. As for you guys, you havenât reached the level of being famous in the Demon World yetâŚâ
Okay, this reason was very reasonable. Nero was speechless for a moment. He could only ask for two mugs of beer for himself and Vergil before sitting down at the bar.
âWhat about me? I want to drink too!â Sareth was eager to try. Of course, he knew about the alcohol of the human world, but he had never tasted any before. This time, he finally had a chance.
However, Rodin placed a glass of white liquid in front of him. âThis is your milk! Brat, didnât your parents tell you? You canât drink underage!â
âPfft!â Looking at Sarethâs black face, Dante and the others laughed.
âHey, arenât you a demon?!â Sareth said angrily. âA demon still obeys human laws?â
Rodin took a puff of his cigar and grinned. âHuman laws are bullshit to me, but I just donât want you to drink alcohol. Is there a problem?â
Sareth had nothing to say. He could not fight Rodin just because he did not want him to drink alcohol, right? So he could only gloomily drink his milk. At the same time, he swore in his heart that he had to grow up quickly. Otherwise, he would always look like a child and not be able to do anythingâŚ
Only then did everyone finally get to the main topic. Dante said to Rodin, âSince youâve prepared the strawberry sundae, did you already expect that Bayonetta would bring us?â

Rodin did not answer this question directly. He only grinned and said, âIn fact, even if you didnât come here, I would have found a way to get Bayonetta to find you. The movements of the Demon World and Heaven are so big now that anyone who isnât blind can see them. Of course, Iâm no exception.â
âRodin, are you saying that Iâm blind?â Bayonetta asked in a dangerous tone.
âYou live in the human world, so of course you donât know these things since it has nothing to do with you!â Rodin explained. He then asked Dante and the others, âI heard that Sparda is back?â
âYes!â Dante nodded. âDemon Osiris saved the old man. He is now the current ruler of the Demon World.â
Rodin tapped his fingers on the counter lightly. âDemon Osiris⌠To be honest, Iâve never heard this name before. He shouldnât be from the Demon World, right?â
âIndeed, he came from the AbyssâŚâ Dante said. âItâs said that itâs the true home of demons.â
âThe demons of the Abyss⌠Theyâre becoming stronger and stronger!â Rodin sighed. âI know why youâre here, but have you thought about it? Now that the spatial channel has opened, the Eternal War between Heaven and the Demon World will break out at any moment. Even if I help you find Mundusâs soul and let you capture him, how will this war end? You should know that the war between angels and demons wonât stop because Mundus was caught.â
âI know. As long as the spatial channel is still around, this war canât be stopped unless the channel is sealed again!â Dante said. âThe reason why my father chose to support Osiris was in exchange for the promise of sealing the channel. Osiris promised my father that after taking back the Ouroboros Marks from Mundus, he would let my father seal the channel and end this war.â
âIs that soâŚâ Rodin rubbed his chin in thought.
At this moment, Vergil suddenly asked Rodin, âI heard that you were an angel in the past. Why did you fall and become a demon?â
âThis has nothing to do with you!â Rodin glanced at Vergil.
âIt has nothing to do with me. But what Iâm more curious about is why you care so much about whether this war can end.â Vergil sneered. âAre you looking at the problem from the perspective of an angel or a demon? Logically speaking, the war between angels and demons shouldnât have much to do with you, right?â
Vergilâs words were not polite at all, causing the scene to become a little tense.
Rodin snorted coldly. âHmph. What do you know? Do you think this war is only a matter between Heaven and the Demon World? Wrong. If theyâre not careful, the entire twin world system, including the human worlds on both sides, will be destroyed!â

âIs it that serious?â Bayonetta asked curiously.
It was not only her. In fact, Dante and the others had always felt that this war was a problem between angels and demons. As humans, they secretly hoped that the angels and demons would fight until both sides suffered heavy losses. This way, at least for a long time, the angels and demons would no longer have the ability to interfere with the affairs of the human world.
It was undeniable that the existence of demons had a great influence on the human world in the Devil May Cry world. In the same way, the existence of angels also had a great influence on the human world in the Bayonetta world. These two mythical races had affected the development of humans, and deviations would unavoidably arise. Especially Dante, he had been deeply moved during this time because he felt that Osiris was right. Several disasters in the human world were actually caused by the two brothers. Urizen, who had separated from Vergil, had caused countless human casualties.
Sometimes, Dante thought that if they were not half-demons or the sons of Sparda and no longer pursued powerful demon powers, and if there were no demons in this world, would these tragedies still happenâŚ
If the angels and demons could stop all activities and lie low for a while after the Eternal War, it might be a good thing for humans⌠This was Danteâs current thought.
But from what Rodin said, it seemed that things were not as simple as they thought.
Hearing Bayonettaâs question, Rodin nodded. âActually, I can roughly guess what Balder and Mundus want to do.â
âOh? Tell us about it!â Dante and the others sat up straight and waited for the information from Rodin.
âYou said before that Mundus plundered the soul marks of all the demons in the entire Demon World, including the new demons from the Abyss. Is that so?â Rodin asked.
Dante nodded. âYes, precisely because of this, Demon Osiris took action to deal with Mundus with my father. Otherwise, there would have actually been no enmity between him and Mundus.â
âThis secret technique of plundering soul marks should have been told to Mundus by Balder!â Rodin poked the counter with his finger. âAs a Lumen Sage, Balder has the authority to read some of the knowledge of Heaven. And this secret technique comes from the âBook of Radianceâ, which is only circulated among ancient angels. Originally, it was a special ritual developed by angels to fight against powerful demon kings. It can condense the soul marks of many angels and allow a high-level angel to obtain a temporary promotionâŚâ
âW-wait!â Sareth hurriedly asked when he heard this, âYou mean that angels also have soul marks?â
âOf course!â Rodin looked at Sareth strangely. âThis is common sense. Donât tell me you think only demons receive the protection of the Ouroboros Mark?â
âUh⌠what is the soul mark of angels?â Sareth asked curiously.

Rodin stretched out a finger and drew a circle in the air. âItâs very simple. Itâs the same Ouroboros Mark!â
âHuh?! The same?!â Sareth was shocked. âHow is this possible?â
âIâm not lying to you! Itâs indeed the same Ouroboros Mark. Moreover, if you can see this mark, youâll understand that the Ouroboros Marks of angels and demons are completely identical!â Rodin said with certainty.
âThis is really⌠This is the first time Iâve heard this!â Dante said in astonishment.
Rodin sneered. âNo angel or demon would talk about the Ouroboros Mark everywhere, so humans naturally donât know about this. Moreover, apart from the Ouroboros Mark being exactly the same, you probably donât know that this mark contains one of the greatest secrets!â
âWhat is it?â Everyone, including Bayonetta, looked at Rodin and waited for him to explain.
In fact, Rodin did not want to reveal it. But looking at everyoneâs expressions, he felt that if he did not say it, numerous guns would be pointed at his head at the same time⌠So after thinking about it, he said, âThis secret is that the Ouroboros Marks of angels and demons can be fused together!â
âWhat?!â Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
âHow is this possible?! Are you saying that angels and demons share the same root and origin?!â Nero said excitedly. âThis is ridiculous!â
Rodin pressed his hands against the counter. âI didnât say that. I just said that the marks can be fused!â
While explaining, Rodin projected a group of light in the air and presented an image of the Ouroboros Mark. âLook carefully. This is what the mark looks like after fusing.â

In the light, two small ring-shaped snakes were biting their own tails and slowly spinning. But when the two snakes got close to each other, they unexpectedly untied and changed from biting their own tails into biting each otherâs tails. Originally, this should have only formed a larger ring, but as the two snakes twisted their bodies, an extremely familiar pattern appeared.
