“F*ck… F*ck!”
When the scene and environment in front of him suddenly changed, Roy was stunned for a long time. After returning to his senses, he couldn’t help spitting out a word that he had not used for a long time.
He was still on the original planet. He could vaguely tell this, but be it the collapsed and weathered buildings around him or the objects buried by the sand and wind, it all showed that this place was abandoned.
He looked up and saw the planet’s atmosphere reflecting a dark green color. The air was full of toxic dust and ga.s.ses, and apart from the howling wind, it was completely silent.
Roy took a few steps forward and stretched out his hand to pull something out from the sand on the ground. It looked like a fel cannon, but it was already riddled with holes from rust. Not long after he picked it up, it couldn’t bear the load and scattered all over the ground.
This was a former Burning Legion forward base, but as the Legion continued to advance, the forward bases would naturally advance together. The bases established in the past would naturally be abandoned and eventually devoured by the Void that caught up.
How much time did I jump? Roy looked at the abandoned planet and was puzzled.
Just as he was thinking about this, a powerful force suddenly appeared out of thin air and filled his body. At this moment, Roy had been maintaining his normal demon form. When this force appeared, the muscles all over his body suddenly swelled, and countless cracks appeared on his incomparably hard skin. Faint light was s.h.i.+ning from inside. The demon reverse wings behind him spread open, and the veins and bones on them became thicker.
In just ten seconds, Roy’s normal frost demon form became bigger, and his height increased by more than thirty centimeters. Fortunately, this increase in strength out of thin air was not an external force, and it matched his body perfectly, so he didn’t feel much pain. He endured the scouring of this power and calmed down after a while.
“Phew!” Roy exhaled lightly. An intense cold aura burst out as he breathed, instantly condensing countless green frost particles within a hundred meters. The toxic gas and water in the air condensed into crystals after being violently cooled.
Moreover, this was only the lowest output of ice energy under Roy’s normal state…
Roy clenched his demon claws in disbelief and felt the immense power pouring out of his limbs. Then he couldn’t help but lean down and punch the ground.
With a loud bang, it was as though a missile had struck. A large amount of sand soared into the sky, setting off a wave tens of meters high. After the sand slowly fell, Roy’s figure gradually appeared. The ground where his fist hit had exploded into a huge crater more than twenty meters deep, and there were countless cracks spreading around the crater.
The power of this punch had not been amplified by the Red Dragon Emperor’s Gauntlet, but it had caused an impact force of no less than ten thousand tons!
His body became stronger, and his frost power increased as well. This was naturally the result of the talent that Roy had set for himself: The Movement to the End of Reincarnation. Because he had crossed a lot of time nodes at once, the increase in power suddenly erupted, making him a little surprised and difficult to adapt to it for a while.
Fortunately, when he set this talent, in order to facilitate his intuitive understanding, he had set a numerical combat strength value for his current overall strength. So after returning to his senses, he couldn’t wait to open the system interface and check his combat strength value.
And this value was 4.47…
Although his combat strength was not yet 5, in fact, this value was defined based on his own strength foundation. In other words, Roy was now four times stronger than before the time jump! What time was it when he was at 1.00?
Knowing the numbers, he could roughly calculate how much time he had jumped. 666 days… If 1.8 years was a node, Roy would have jumped… nearly three thousand years?
After calculating this number, Roy was shocked. He didn’t expect that his first time jump would span such a long period of time.
He had disappeared from the history of the Burning Legion for nearly three thousand years…
After I’ve missed work for so long, who knows what kind of expression Boss Sar will have when he sees me again?
It had been nearly three thousand years. Roy understood why the planet he was on was so desolate and dilapidated. Before he jumped, this forward base had just begun construction. With a blink of an eye, it went from fast-forward construction to abandonment. If this were a movie, how many times faster would it be…
The absurd and strange feeling lingered in Roy’s perception. Coupled with his sudden increase in strength, he stayed on this planet for two to three days before finally adapting to this strange feeling. Then he spread his wings and flew away from the planet.
I wonder where the Burning Legion has developed to now… Roy thought while trying to summon Rafaro.
The moment Rafaro appeared, even Roy was shocked. As soon as he appeared, his gigantic body quickly expanded in s.p.a.ce. Rafaro roared with a dumbfounded expression, not knowing what to do with the immense power produced in his body.
When the growth finally stopped, Rafaro’s entire body had doubled in size, reaching more than two kilometers in length. The red dragon scales on his body became thicker and harder.
This was the advantage of imprinting a soul contract. As Roy’s strength soared, his soul became stronger, resulting in Rafaro obtaining some benefits. Although his growth could not match up to Roy’s, if this continued, the moment Roy completed the Movement to the End of Reincarnation, Rafaro’s strength might exceed the Deadly Sin level. He might even become stronger than Sargeras!
What a pity! After reacting, Roy’s first thought was to sigh. If he knew this would happen, he should have signed a soul contract with Julia and Benia. Right, there was also the stupid dog Fat Tiger. This way, he could have obtained four Deading Sin-level accomplices…
Of course, this was only theoretical. After all, the so-called Deadly Sin level also involved the power of divine sparks. If the divine spark was incomplete or not powerful enough, it could not be regarded as the Deadly Sin level. At that time, Rafaro would only be comparable to the Deadly Sin level in terms of strength. Without the power of a divine spark, it was equivalent to having no authority, and he wouldn’t obtain the power blessing from the underlying laws. In other words, there would be no creative ability born.
But even so, it was enough…
“Honorable Master, w-what happened?” Rafaro twisted his body in confusion and looked at his body. “Why did my appearance change so much after I haven’t come out for a while?”
“For a while?” Roy said angrily. “It’s been nearly three thousand years!”
“What?!” Rafaro was stunned. He felt that he had only taken a nap in an alternate s.p.a.ce.
But then he understood and asked tentatively, “Honorable Master, have we… fallen into a s.p.a.cetime vortex again?”
Roy nodded. “That’s right. But we’re already out. It appeared without warning and disappeared without warning, but we really crossed nearly three thousand years…”
Upon hearing Roy’s words, Rafaro realized the seriousness of this matter. “In that case, we’ve disappeared from the Burning Legion for three thousand years? Oh, d.a.m.n it. That idiot Elekton promised to get me a female black dragon… It’s been so long. I wonder if that idiot has died in battle?”
When Roy heard this, he looked at Rafaro with a strange expression. During the time he was in the Burning Legion, he had always allowed Rafaro to move freely. How could he know that this guy had become friends with the demons under his command?
Elekton? If I remember correctly, he should be an abyss lord.
After hearing Rafaro’s vexed complaints, Roy flew up and punched his head. Then he landed on his head and scolded, “Idiot. Even if he finds you a female dragon, do you have the ability to get her to lay a dragon egg for you? Hurry up and turn into the stars.h.i.+p. We have to find the Legion. I don’t know where they’ve advanced to.”
Rafaro didn’t dare to talk nonsense anymore. His body coiled together and gradually changed until he finally became the Void Seeker. Because his body had become much larger, the Void Seeker naturally became much larger. The s.p.a.ce in the c.o.c.kpit had expanded a lot, and Roy felt even more comfortable in it.
The stars.h.i.+p activated, turned into a stream of light, and flew forward. Rafaro wasn’t stupid. Although he didn’t know where the Burning Legion had advanced to, he could just find his way along these abandoned or burned planets. The Legion’s crusade plan was like this. It advanced and entrenched itself at every step and would purge all the worlds on the way. It left no survivors.
While searching, Rafaro chatted with Roy. “Honorable Master, you seem to be much stronger?”
“Okay!” Roy nodded. “Did you sense it?”
“Yes!” Rafaro said. “When you are close to me, I can even feel a tingling sensation on my body. The low temperature around you is too strong and obvious…”
“I see…” Roy rubbed his demon horns thoughtfully. “It seems that I have to think of a way to suppress or cover up the changes in my strength.”
This was for sure. Although this first time jump only increased Roy’s strength by four times, as he jumped more and more in the future and grew stronger and stronger, it might cause Sargeras to be wary.
Although Sargeras trusted Roy, it was because he knew that Roy’s strength was far inferior to his. Once Roy’s strength approached or exceeded his, it would be hard to say what would happen. The Burning Legion only needed one boss…
Since he wanted to stay in the universe under the skin of the Burning Legion, he had to have the necessary cover…
Time flew by as Roy calculated. After the Void Seeker flew over one planet after another that the Burning Legion had ravaged, it found that there were gradually signs of demons moving on some planets. This meant that they were already close to the range of the Burning Legion’s current activities. But if they wanted to go to a forward base, they needed to continue moving forward.
As expected, as the Void Seeker continued forward, Rafaro suddenly detected the energy fluctuations of a warp. Immediately after, dozens of Burning Legion stars.h.i.+ps appeared in the nearby s.p.a.ce and surrounded the Void Seeker.
Roy knew that according to the crude style of the Burning Legion demons, they should open fire and attack without a word, so he immediately ordered Rafaro to eliminate these stars.h.i.+ps if they dared to attack.
However, what Roy didn’t expect was that these stars.h.i.+ps seemed to recognize the Void Seeker. The light of the fel cannons at the bow of the s.h.i.+ps quickly disappeared, and then Rafaro received a communication request.
After Rafaro connected, a dreadlord appeared on the magic screen. Although dreadlords looked very similar, Roy recognized him after identifying him for a while. This guy was actually Tichondrius!
After seeing Roy, Tichondrius was shocked. After a while, he said in surprise, “Oh, Sargeras, it’s really you, Lord Osiris. Where have you been for the past three thousand years?!”
“Hmph!” Roy snorted coldly. “Do I need to explain to you where I go?”
Upon hearing Roy’s words, Tichondrius immediately responded, “Sorry, Lord Osiris. It’s just that you suddenly disappeared in front of everyone. Lord Sargeras ordered the Legion to search for you for a long time. Now that you’ve suddenly appeared, I’m too surprised…”
“Okay, you don’t need to know about this. I’ll report it to Lord Sargeras!” Roy said coldly. “Where is the Legion’s main forward base now?”
“You’ll be able to see it after traveling about thirty million kilometers from here!” Tichondrius said. “Welcome back, Lord Osiris. Lord Sargeras is currently plotting for a planet named Argus. Your return will make him very happy.”
After ending the communication, the stars.h.i.+p fleet led by Tichondrius slowly turned around and started moving, leading Rafaro to the Legion’s forward base while Roy pondered with a strange expression.
Argus? So that’s how it is… Looks like the rules of these time jumps aren’t completely chaotic…
