Chapter 336 Ritual! Invade the Gate of Heaven
The Darkness Messiah, or rather Sareth, this baby himself was not worthy of Roy coveting, but he involved the interests of many demon lords.
To Roy, the Dark Messiah was a card that he had spent a lot of effort to obtain, so he naturally had to make the best use of him and squeeze out his value as much as possible. This was the first time he met the demon lords of Sheogh. Roy had never thought that they would compromise easily, so he was not in a hurry. He believed that the war demon lord would definitely contact the other demon lords to discuss this matter. Roy only needed to wait.
After leaving the secret room and returning to the ground, Roy saw a chaotic scene in Ur-Hekal.
After the deaths of Kha-Beleth and Xeron, the demons of the original Eeofol camp had practically disappeared. Now, Eeofol was under Roy. Since he wanted to stay in Ur-Hekal, repairing the city naturally became his top priority. The high-rank demons under Roy became overseers, and they held leather whips to urge the low-rank demons to do their labor. If the low-rank demons slacked a little, they would whip them and tear their skin open. But the low-rank demons could only quickly work after screaming, not daring to say anything. Demons of all shapes and sizes ran around the city, making it look slightly chaotic, but Roy knew that this was the normal state of demons, so he did not intend to intervene.
Three days pa.s.sed quickly. Julia did not appear much during these three days. It seemed like it was quite troublesome to absorb the fire seed of destruction flames. Thus, Benia was basically commanding the demons in the city to work.
Rafaro’s soul had been hara.s.sing Roy for the past few days, begging Roy to find a body that could accommodate his soul as soon as possible. But Roy had his own way of dealing with Rafaro’s soul, so he was just perfunctory for the time being.
Fat Tiger, on the other hand, had killed many high-level dragons in the battle. He had ordered the demons to move the corpses of these dragons back, so this guy had been eating barbecue these past few days. After eating so many dragon corpses, he was about to enter another round of evolution…
After winning the battle against Kha-Beleth, Giovanni had always been in an extremely excited state. He felt that the thigh he hugged this time was too right. He knew that once Roy finished reorganizing the demons, he might begin to conquer the world of Ashan. But he might need enough allies, and the undead that the various races of the continent did not welcome were naturally the first choice. Therefore, Giovanni planned to wait until Roy began his expedition to speak up and guide him to take down the kingdom of Heresh first. This way, he, Giovanni, could become the true undead monarch…
During this period of time, Ca.s.sandra had completely become the foster mother of the Dark Messiah, Sareth. The demons found a surviving fire lion den near Ur-Hekal. They killed the male lion and brought back the breastfeeding female lion, and Ca.s.sandra used the milk of the lioness to feed the Dark Messiah.
Roy saw the calmness on Ca.s.sandra’s face when she hugged Sareth. She even restrained the cold aura and death aura emanating from her body. After finis.h.i.+ng his meal, Sareth giggled in her arms and waved his little hands wildly, not afraid of Ca.s.sandra’s skull face at all.
A child raised by a lich? Roy did not know what kind of worldview he would have when he grew up…
Two days later, the demons finally finished repairing Ur-Hekal, and Julia had also completed her fusion with the destruction flames. After receiving the news, Roy walked out of the city hall and came to the square in the city.
On an enormous square, numerous demons had already gathered. There were tens of thousands of them, and they surrounded the square in a distinct hierarchy. The ones closest to the center were high-rank demons, and in the middle were middle-rank demons. Low-rank demons were the most numerous, but they were squeezed out to the outermost position. Tens of thousands of demons had gathered here, but the square was quiet. Almost all the demons held their breaths carefully, not daring to move too much.
When Roy appeared, with Julia and Benia leading the way, the high-rank demons all held their weapons upright and knelt on one knee to greet Roy. The low and middle-rank demons withdrew their claws and teeth and prostrated on the ground. They looked at Roy with fanatical wors.h.i.+p in their eyes.
The demons gathered here because they were about to witness a ritual… a demon lord promotion ritual!
“Are you ready?” Roy asked Benia.
“Ready!” Benia said with a sweet smile. “Don’t worry, my lord. We’ve cleared the surrounding hundreds of kilometers around Ur-Hekal. No one dares to intrude, and we won’t give the angels any opportunity.” “That’s good!” Roy nodded and walked toward the center of the square.
Julia looked at Roy worriedly. Although she knew that he was powerful, no one knew what kind of resistance he would encounter when he entered the Gate of Heaven alone. What if… what if he encountered a powerful enemy?
Benia also saw Julia’s worry and whispered to her, “Don’t worry, darling. You must have confidence in His Excellency Osiris. Moreover, I have to say that his choice to promote in this world is very wise. This world’s Heaven rank is relatively low, and because of the constant wars, the number of angels has not risen, so there’s no need to worry about him being besieged endlessly. And the number of high-level seraphim is also relatively small. With Osiris’s strength, he should be able to persevere.”
Hearing Benia’s words, Julia felt slightly relieved. She stopped talking and stared intently at Roy. After arriving in the middle of the square, Roy took a deep breath and slowly moved his hands in front of him. Frostmourne gradually appeared in his hands from the system s.p.a.ce.
Roy thrust Frostmourne into the ground and looked up at the sky. He stretched out a hand, pointed at the distant sky, and waved his fingertips as he slowly injected magic power into the sky and connected with the s.p.a.ce there.
Someone led the demons watching the ritual to slam their demon claws on the ground. One by one, tens of thousands of demons began this action.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Rhythmic thumping reverberated throughout the entire square. Under the accompaniment of the thumping, Roy waved his arm slightly and used magic power to build a slowly rotating, s.h.i.+ning black magic formation in the air.
This magic formation was the magic formation of the Gate of Heaven. The construction of this magic formation had a complete record in Kha-Beleth’s memories, so it was effortless for Roy to draw it. But since a demon was drawing it, the radiance of the magic formation was naturally black. Moreover, since he had yet to unlock the spatial encryption, he could not open a path to Heaven for the time being.
Roy continued to output magic power and used everything he learned about s.p.a.ce magic after coming to Ashan to crack the s.p.a.ce connected to the magic formation. The demons maintained their rhythmic thumping. As time pa.s.sed, this rhythm gradually accelerated, as though it was urging Roy… After some time, a buzz suddenly came from the sky, and a ray of golden… holy light suddenly appeared in the black magic formation!
When Roy saw this golden holy light, his spirits immediately raised.
It opened!
He immediately increased his output of magic power and continued to open the gate in the magic formation wider.
en
Finally, when the golden holy light filled the interior of the magic formation, the Gate of Heaven completely opened! Although the holy light falling from the sky was high in the sky, it still made the demons on the square feel extremely uncomfortable. They gradually became agitated and stared at the Gate of Heaven with hatred and bloodthirst before roaring together. The roars of tens of thousands of demons seemed to be declaring war on Heaven. During this roar, Roy pulled out Frostmourne from the ground and flapped his wings. He flew up like a ray of light and rushed into the Gate of Heaven!
With the black magic formation, golden holy light, this was a Gate of Heaven that had been opened without permission, and it was a through and through invasion!
From Kha-Beleth’s memories, Roy learned that the holy light would continuously melt the magic formation formed by dark magic power. This would cause the Gate of Heaven to close after a short time. What Roy had to do in this ritual was enter the Gate of Heaven and guard it until the moment the gate closed. Then he would withdraw from it and ensure that no angel could come out of it, even if he completed the ritual.
And this Gate of Heaven lasted for about… two hours!
Don’t think that these two hours were very short. In fact, angels could absolutely not permit a Gate of Heaven opened by demons. This was because no one knew whether such a Gate to Heaven would really close. It would be horrendous if it turned out to be a ma.s.sive invasion by the Abyss demons to Heaven. Therefore, once angels discovered an illegal invasion, they would destroy the intruders at all costs and close the Gate of Heaven.
In other words, Roy’s action this time was like stabbing a hornet’s nest. For the next two hours, he had to withstand the continuous attacks of the hornets and could not take a step back…
Seeing Roy turn into a stream of light and rush into the gate of Heaven, the demons on the square roared excitedly. However, it was very uncomfortable for Roy himself. When he rushed into the Gate of Heaven and came into contact with holy light, Roy felt his entire body burning. To put it unpleasantly, it was as though hot oil had been poured onto his p.e.n.i.s, and every part of his skin felt like this…
This forced Roy to mobilize more dark power to resist the erosion of this holy light.
The moment he pa.s.sed through the Gate of Heaven, Roy felt his eyes light up. A clear and pure sky reflected in his vision, but in this clear sky, it was not a sky-blue background but a golden sky.
There was no smell of sulfur in the air, but every breath made his chest burn. This was the s.p.a.ce where Heaven was, but it was so unfriendly for demons…
