Hearing Roy’s shout, Imperius and Itherael were shocked and immediately spread their perception to see if Mephisto and the others had really arrived.
But they didn’t find any traces of Mephisto and the others in their perception.
Roy didn’t say anything and only waited quietly. There was a moment of silence, causing Imperius and Itherael to look at Roy strangely. They were just short of saying that he was being deliberately mystifying. Finally, Roy sighed and said again, “Come out. Stop hiding!”
As he spoke, he lowered his head and looked at the circle of demons surrounding him. Then he waved his hand, and Psychokinesis twisted out three high-rank demons. These three high-rank demons floated in the air in horror and kept struggling. “Your Majesty Osiris, you… you’re mistaken, right?”
“I’m not wrong!” Roy looked at the three high-rank demons and shook his head. “But it’s not your fault because you don’t know when you were ‘seeded’!”
The three high -rank demons were shocked, but before they could say anything, a powerful dark power erupted in the depths of their hearts.
The demons’ hearts ruptured, and dark power surged out, tearing the skin and flesh of the three high-rank demons. Then the dark power began to reconstruct their bodies. Countless b.l.o.o.d.y flesh buds grew from their bodies and wrapped them into squirming coc.o.o.ns, and an ominous aura began to spread.
Yes, the demon kings had planted seeds of soul parasitism in these three high-rank demons. When the power of the seeds erupted, all their flesh and blood were devoured before they could even resist. When the flesh and blood coc.o.o.n opened again, three new demons full of powerful dark power appeared in front of everyone.
“It’s really you…” Imperius and Itherael couldn’t help gasping when they saw this scene.
Roy had seen one of these three new huge demons on the Frozen Throne. Mephisto’s clone was the same. Among the other two, one of them was a humanoid demon. The skin of his body was hard bone armor, and the black armor had a blood-red undertone. There was a pair of giant pincer-like demon horns on his head, and there was also a pair of demon horns wrapped around his cheeks. Behind him were several sharp bone spikes that extended down his spine to his iron whip-like tail. He looked very ferocious.
Needless to say, this was a clone of Diablo, the Lord of Terror!
The last one was an insect-type demon. His lower body was supported by four large insect feet, and the sharp insect feet pierced into the ground and easily sank half a meter deep. His upper body had a ferocious and bloodthirsty demon face, and on his head, three demon horns that looked like tentacles were arranged side by side and dancing in the wind. This was the first time Roy had seen these kinds of demon horns that were not hard. Needless to say, they were quite unique and could be regarded as an iconic appearance.
This was Baal, the Lord of Destruction!
In just a moment, Mephisto, Diablo, and Baal, the three leaders of the seven demon lords of h.e.l.l, appeared in the High Heavens.
“Ah—!!” As soon as he appeared, Mephisto sighed in satisfaction and looked at Roy. “I didn’t expect to stand on the ground of the High Heavens again. This feeling is really wonderful. What do you think, Osiris?”
Roy stared at him without saying anything. Instead, Imperius said angrily, “This is impossible, Mephisto! How could you recover your strength so quickly?!”
“Ahahaha!” Baal laughed wildly and spread his hands. “That’s right, Imperius. Under normal circ.u.mstances, it’s impossible for us to recover our strength so quickly. But you could have never guessed how much energy the fragments scattered everywhere after the Worldstone exploded provided us in the Burning h.e.l.ls… We ordered people to collect them secretly. Even if we didn’t obtain many, it was enough for us to act on our own.”
“Fragments of the Worldstone…” Imperius finally understood why the recovery speed of the seven demon kings exceeded the estimates of the High Heavens. He was irritated.
“Imperius, my old opponent, we meet again!” Diablo took a few steps forward and looked at Imperius from afar with a sinister grin. “Do you still remember how miserably I beat you last time? Now that I’m back, you still look this miserable.”
“Shut up!” Imperius raised his Spear of Valor and pointed it at Diablo. “The High Heavens could thwart your scheme last time, and it can do the same this time!”
“Shameless boasting!” Diablo roared at Imperius, and scorching flames spewed out of his throat.
Both sides looked like they were about to fight when Roy finally said, “Do you
want me to leave?”
“Uh…” Only then did the Three Prime Evils remember that the leader of this war was still at the scene. Mephisto’s ugly face showed a grin as he said to Roy, “Sorry, Osiris, my brother. We saw our old enemies and were too excited… I think this is the first time you’ve met Diablo and Baal, right?”
Hearing what Mephisto said, Diablo and Baal turned their heads to size Roy up. At this moment, Roy was not in the form of a mist body but a normal body of more than three meters tall, causing Diablo and Baal to look taller than him. When they looked at Roy, there was inevitably a feeling of looking down at him.
However, the powerful force emanating from Roy could not be faked, so Diablo and Baal didn’t dare to underestimate him. Diablo nodded at Roy. “Osiris, you’ve done well. From today onward, all the worlds here will sing of your prestige of conquering the High Heavens. I think you can consider giving yourself the t.i.tle of ‘World Destroyer’…”
“That’s right!” Baal nodded with a smirk. “From now on, the Burning h.e.l.ls will have four demon G.o.ds!”
Whether it was Diablo, Baal, or Mephisto, these three big shots were all old demons who had lived for who knew how long. They were like old seniors whose words were full of praise and gratification for the new junior, but it was unknown what they were actually thinking… Roy knew this very well, so he didn’t take their words to heart at all. Instead, he mocked, “I say, you three old fellows secretly found three subst.i.tutes but didn’t take the initiative to appear. If I hadn’t found you, you probably would have watched me fight until the last moment, right?”
Hearing this, Mephisto and the others were actually a little embarra.s.sed. To be honest, not only was Roy guarding against them, but they were also guarding against Roy. Although Roy was external help found by Mephisto, he had only been in this world for a short time, and they couldn’t tell what his personality was like. Under these circ.u.mstances, how could they trust him?
The relations.h.i.+p between demon kings was never harmonious. Although the seven demon kings had recovered their strength beyond expectations, most of the time, they could only move with clones. Not only were these clones lacking in strength, but they also needed to split out a portion of their souls, so they were naturally at a disadvantage. Once Roy had ill intentions and attacked their clones, this portion of their souls might be eliminated..
Therefore, the Three Prime Evils didn’t want to appear if possible. Their soul seeds had parasitized the bodies of the three high-rank demons, and they could observe the battle situation through these three high-rank demons. With the cover of the auras of the three high-rank demons, they could even hide from Imperius. But they didn’t expect that Roy would catch them.
At this moment, they had no choice but to appear…
They wanted to ask Roy how he discovered them, but it wasn’t easy to ask because they felt that their auras were weaker than his, so the three old demons tacitly didn’t mention it.
As for how Roy discovered them, it was actually very simple. He did not rely on any special perception, but he firmly believed that it was impossible for the seven demon kings of h.e.l.l, who had fought the Eternal Conflict with the High Heavens for so long, to miss this moment at the last moment of the siege.
In fact, he had only shouted out just now with the intention of giving it a try. After shouting, he keenly noticed that three demons among the demons had shown different behaviors to his shout…
To put it bluntly, Roy had actually tricked the Three Prime Evils. Mephisto and the others might soon understand this logic, but now, through this matter, Roy had firmly suppressed the three of them in terms of momentum.
“Since you’re all here, it’s time to do something!” Roy said to the three old fellows. “You fought against the High Heavens for so long. I believe you don’t want the High Heavens to disappear without doing anything, right?”
“Of course!” Mephisto nodded and turned to look at Imperius and Itherael. “Although these clones aren’t strong enough, it shouldn’t be a problem for the three of us to hold back the two Archangels. We’ll leave the Crystal Arch to you!”
Roy didn’t comment, but then he spread his wings and floated up. His action was the signal tor the general attack. The remaining demon army roared and rushed toward the angel army opposite them. Both sides immediately fought.
Mephisto, Diablo, and Baal grinned sinisterly as they charged at Imperius and Itherael!
A smooth path appeared, and Roy flew straight into the long corridor of the Crystal Arch. Imperius and Itherael wanted to stop him, but they were powerless.. They could only roar as they watched him disappear at the end of the corridor…
