Chapter 327 Black Domain of Silence
Roy did not expect the birth of the Dark Messiah would be so grand.
Roy had seen the half-human half-demon body of the illusion demon César. But he had not seen the birth process with his own eyes at that time, so he did not know what it was like. But this time, he saw it.
Perhaps it should be said that he was indeed worthy of being a Child of Taboo, and he was a Child of Taboo who had inherited the bloodline of a demon lord. The moment the Dark Messiah was born, an immense amount of dark power gathered around him and even triggered a phenomenon. From Ca.s.sandra’s fl.u.s.tered tone, she did not expect such a situation to happen.
Roy knew that he had to go and take a look. The Dark Messiah was a card in his hand. It was precisely because Kha-Beleth was worried about the Dark Messiah that he was able to suppress his destructive power. However, judging from the gathering of so much dark power, it was possible that Gem and her alliance army might take action against the Dark Messiah!
This was also why Roy had Ca.s.sandra and Fat Tiger protect Isabel. He knew what this Child of Taboo meant to the people of this world.
Don’t think that humans would not do anything overboard to a baby… On the contrary, as long as they wielded their stick of morality, humans could do even more cruel things than demons.
Roy taking Isabel from Xeron meant that only he could decide and handle the matters regarding the Dark Messiah. He was the one who grasped the power of life and death, so he would not give Gem and Zehir any chance. At least, before he completely settled Kha-Beleth, the Dark Messiah could not die in the hands of the alliance army.
He immediately sent a message to Ca.s.sandra. “Tell Rafaro and Giovanni that if anyone from the alliance army dares to attack the Dark Messiah, kill them all!”
The reason why he had left the alliance army alone was to have them share the attacks of the demon army. After all, Roy’s army did not have the advantage. Moreover, he had lost almost all his ground troops during his battle with Xeron. In order to prevent the demon army from overwhelming his army, he kept the lives of the alliance army and made them a temporary tacit ally. But if they dared to touch his interests, then he would not be polite. Anyway, the numbers of the demon army had decreased substantially, and the value of the alliance army was no longer high…
Upon receiving Roy’s order, Ca.s.sandra immediately understood and informed Rafaro, Julia, and the others.
And here, after sensing the immense dark power when the Dark Messiah was born, Kha-Beleth was ecstatic. What he had been working hard to plan for so many years was this Child of Taboo. Now that the Dark Messiah was successfully born, his goal was more than half completed.
Furthermore, under the shock of this surprise, Kha-Beleth calmed down. He immediately realized that the Dark Messiah was his hope and his weakness. Now that Demon Osiris was in control of the situation, he would not allow him to obtain the Dark Messiah so easily. He had to get to the Dark Messiah before Osiris and take him back!
After sensing the condition of his body, Kha-Beleth found that the side effects of the magic power backlash were about to disappear, and his magic power was showing signs of recovery. After all, he was a demon lord. Although the magic power backlash had caused him great damage, it could not really kill him.
He could tell that although Demon Osiris could completely eliminate his demiG.o.d body through devouring it, it was impossible for him to kill him in a short time due to how much there was and his limited eating speed.
As long as… as long as I sacrifice a part of my body, I can get the time to recover…
Although Kha-Beleth thought that, he still felt extremely humiliated. It was too horrendous to be eaten by a high-rank demon…
Come on, eat! I, Kha-Beleth, am already lying down. But when I recover, I swear to Demon King Asmodeus that I will tear your body into pieces, rip your soul into a hundred million, and feed you to the inferior monsters of the upper Abyss!
Just as Kha-Beleth was thinking this, he found that Roy was already walking toward him. He thought that Roy would continue to use that strange light to turn his body into food to eat, but as Roy approached, he discovered that this was not the case!
He could feel a vast amount of magic power gathering in Roy’s body. Moreover, he was at the place where his body had piled up the most…
Cold, utterly intense cold! Kha-Beleth’s body still had the ability to sense, and he could feel the extremely powerful cold aura emanating from Roy. This strong cold aura made his sixth sense send out a warning signal of danger!
“N-not good!” A huge sense of crisis struck, causing him to immediately give up any wishful thinking in his heart. His soul instantly gave up his body and escaped from it!
The moment his soul left his body, Roy, who was standing in front of Kha-Beleth’s pile of flesh, raised his hand and pointed at the sky. With this action, the s.p.a.ce in this area instantly became incomparably dark! “Black Domain of Silence!”
The moment Roy’s magic power and the cold aura burst out, it was as though the lights of the world had turned off. Even the light within the range of the ultra-low temperature of the condensate was about to freeze, causing the black domain phenomenon that Kha-Beleth had never seen before. Unfortunately, his soul had left his body, and he could not see this terrifying scene with his own eyes.
In this black domain, the ultra-low temperature instantly swept over Kha-Beleth’s immortal and indestructible body. But strangely, his body did not show any signs of freezing but… maintained the original appearance! It was as though nothing had happened. But… that was not the case! Roy’s ‘Black Domain of Silence’ only lasted for a short moment, probably less than a second. The state of Kha-Beleth’s body was just like taking a picture, leaving a snapshot with a click. The moment the black domain disappeared and light returned, the pieces of his body actually disintegrated silently!
It was not even appropriate to describe it as flying ashes because there was no dust at all. They disappeared just like that…
It was not only Kha-Beleth’s body, but the exact same scene had happened to all the soil, water, air, and so on under him. A real ’empty cavity’ directly appeared on the spot.
In the eyes of those who did not know, this was definitely an extremely strange scene, but to the expressionless Roy, it was easy to understand. He knew that the reason for this strange scene was that Kha-Beleth’s body had undergone… quantum collapse!
Yes, for all the matter within the range of the black domain, almost all the atoms were gathered into the lowest-energy quantum state and presented a unique uniformity. This was the true essence of a condensate. In other words, the matter at this temperature was actually in a very stable special quantum state. At that time, you could say that Kha-Beleth’s body still existed, but the moment Roy removed the black domain, the stable quantum state broke, and the matter directly entered the state of the quantum collapse…
This was the horror of the ultra-low temperature that was infinitely close to absolute zero! It was truly worthy of being called ‘silence’!
It had to be said that, as a frost demon, Roy deciding to pursue absolute zero was correct. The black domain phenomenon he created was like Schrödinger’s box. The moment the black domain disappeared, it was equivalent to the box opening… In this way, Roy’s black domain destroyed Kha-Beleth’s demiG.o.d body.
Of course, this kind of trump card was also a tremendous burden to Roy. All of his magic power could maintain this black domain state for not even a second, and the range of coverage was extremely limited. Once he used it, the magic power in his entire body would dry up. His body would become very weak, and he would need time to recover slowly. So Roy would only use this move when he was confident in success. Roy looked up at Kha-Beleth’s soul floating in the air.
Even a high-rank demon like Xeron still had consciousness after his soul left. Kha-Beleth’s soul was stronger, so he was naturally conscious and could even move freely to a certain extent. His soul floated in the air, and his flame-like face on the surface of the soul was looking at Roy in horror.
“W-what did you just do?!” A wave of soul fluctuations came. The demon language was a language of soul communication, so his soul could use this method to speak. He shouted in horror, “What did you do to my body?!”.
“You sure run fast!” Roy sneered as he looked at Kha-Beleth’s soul. Roy’s body was empty currently, but his expression did not show the slightest timidity. “Your decision was decisive. But what can you do in this state?”
If Kha-Beleth’s soul were still in his body just now, then he most likely would have totally perished by now. Roy did not believe that a soul could still exist in that state of quantum collapse. He was confident that he could have obliterated Kha-Beleth’s soul, but unfortunately, this guy actually gave up his body. At the moment danger struck, his soul escaped the range of the black domain and avoided a catastrophe.
However, what was the use of leaving behind a soul after losing a demiG.o.d body? A naked soul had no self-protection ability!
Anyone would covet a soul that came from a demon lord. In the hands of demons, it was a delicious soul, and in the hands of angels, it was a soul that had to be purified!
Unless…
After hearing Roy’s words, Kha-Beleth instantly understood that he was in an extremely dangerous situation, so he did not dare to say anything else. The soul turned into a ray of light and flew into the distance. Roy looked in the direction his soul was flying with an unsurprised expression. He could not move at this moment, so he could not capture Kha-Beleth’s soul. But he knew that if Kha-Beleth did not want his soul to be destroyed, he had to find a place to take shelter.
At present, one of the places he could find was his demon sword, as his soul fragment was in it. If he returned to the demon sword, he could make his soul whole and temporarily seal his soul in the demon sword. As long as Roy could not extract his soul from the sword, he could still live on for a while.
Benia had taken away Kha-Beleth’s demon sword to reduce his combat power. After all, with a weapon created by his soul fragment, his strength when holding this demon sword was absolutely different from his strength when fighting with a flame scythe. When the demon sword was taken away, Kha-Beleth was vexed, but he did not expect it to become one of his life-saving straws.
As for the second method, even Roy thought of it for him. It was to think of a way to… possess a body!
