Chapter 228 Acquaintance
Roy sat on the castle lord’s throne, supported his chin with his left hand, and placed his right hand on one side. His sharp nails rhythmically tapped on the frozen armrest, and the crisp ‘dings’ echoed in the castle hall.
To be honest, Uriel’s memory was a bit beyond Roy’s expectations. When he had completed the fusion, Roy did not pay much attention to the memory left behind by Uriel because he thought that it might be Uriel’s deep memory of Abaddon. After all, in the Darksiders world, Uriel was famous for her loyalty to Abaddon, so he had not even wanted to look at it at that time.
Only now did Roy realize how extraordinary this memory was…
Clearly, Uriel’s status among angels was quite high. Not only did it stem from her power, but it also stemmed from her ident.i.ty as an original angel. After seeing this memory, Roy realized that Uriel was actually an angel born in the highest Heaven!
Yes, the highest Heaven! The true birthplace of the angels, just like the Abyss of h.e.l.l. It was the true headquarters of the angels, not an outpost like the White City. In other words, it was like Uriel was born in the imperial capital and had a natural advantage in status.
Precisely because of this, Gabriel and Michael did not feel any anger when they discovered that Uriel had overheard their conversation. From Gabriel’s point of view, it was necessary to let the next generation of angel elites know about the situation facing Heaven. Moreover, it was very difficult for angels as powerful as Uriel to be killed and die. She had a bright future. It could be said that as long as she was given enough time, another seraph would appear in Heaven. But unfortunately, Uriel happened to be seriously injured in the battle with the Destroyer before encountering Roy, so in the end, Roy and Julia had joined forces to kill her. Not only had her advancement stopped abruptly, but even this memory was known by a demon.
This was also a serious information leak from Heaven…
What Roy was doing now was constantly looking through this memory to deduce some things.
This memory might have happened a long time ago, and at that time, the side of Heaven might have had ideological differences. Roy could a.n.a.lyze this from the conversation between Michael and Gabriel. One side was the moderate faction represented by Gabriel, and it advocated continuing to guide the mortal humans and giving them the opportunity to grow. The other side was the ruthless faction represented by Michael, and it advocated blowing the Horn of Judgment Day to purify the world. However, no matter which side it was, it involved a problem: the expansion of the Void!
In fact, Roy was pretty dumbfounded about this. When he faced Fury of the Four Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse, he was merely spouting some bulls.h.i.+t. He combined the Corruption phenomenon in the Darksiders world with the Void power of the Warcraft world to deceive Fury. Everything Roy said could be regarded as true and false.
However, what surprising place was this. Roy did not expect that this random nonsense would unexpectedly reveal the true situation facing the Infinite Worlds now! The expansion of the Void was actually true!
Especially after coming into contact with Lilith, obtaining this memory of Uriel, and gradually understanding some of the situation, Roy was truly stupefied. It was as though he had somehow luckily guessed right, and it felt so surreal…
However, no matter what, this phenomenon deserved Roy’s vigilance. It seemed that the upper echelons of Heaven and h.e.l.l had already noticed the corrosion of the Void, and both angels and demons were trying to use their own methods to deal with this situation!
The great demon kings on the demon side were trying to find ways to eliminate Void power. For example, Lilith’s pursuit of the power of chaos demons was in line with the aggressive characteristics of demons when they encountered trouble, so it did not need further elaboration. On the Heaven side, Michael’s ruthless faction connected the entropy increase of the universe to the expansion of the Void and blamed it on human reproduction and expansion. They planned to purify the world and eliminate humans to stop it. The moderate faction that Gabriel represented felt that the Creator had a profound reason for leaving the human race behind, and perhaps stopping the corrosion of the Void would fall on this race, so they planned to protect them.
Judging from the current situation, Michael and Gabriel had reached a compromise, and they planned to follow Gabriel’s method and observe more. However, this memory of Uriel was from a long time ago, and he could not tell whether there had been any changes in the situation on the side of Heaven. Putting everything else aside, just the fact that Raphael’s incarnation appeared in the Darksiders world and became one of the councilors of the Charred Council made Roy a little unsure of what Raphael’s position was…
No one knew what these Archangels of Heaven and great demon kings of the Abyss were plotting deep down. What people could only see was the endless war between angels and demons…
d.a.m.n it, the more I know, the more confused I become! Roy sighed in his heart because he had no idea what he could do after knowing these things.
He felt as though he was close to the truth of the Infinite Worlds a moment ago, but the truth drifted away from him in the next moment. This feeling of not being able to touch nor see it was driving him crazy.
Forget it. Let the demon kings handle this matter first. I’ll wait until I become a demon king one day… Roy thought as he stood up from his seat.
His body turned into a bolt of lightning and appeared at the castle gate in a flash.
He had not used the Flash skill but the elementalization ability of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. When he defined the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Roy had left this attribute, but he did not expect that this ability would be preserved during the fusion.
However, this elementalization was somewhat useless because Roy found that even if no domineering physical power could attack the elemental body, both angels and demons could use magic power. And elemental bodies could be easily hit by magic power attacks. Fortunately, the ability to teleport freely was a good experience for Roy. Under the lightning elementalization, Roy could move anywhere he wanted, and it could be regarded as much more useful than the Flash skill.
Speaking of which, Roy did not know if it was because the attribute of his demon body was ‘dark’, but the two elemental powers that Roy obtained, frost and lightning, combined with the dark power and mutated. Therefore, Roy had been guessing if he would continue to fuse the dark power with other powers and produce mutations.
As soon as Roy walked out of the castle hall, a shadow that covered the sky rushed at him. It was Fat Tiger, who had grown bigger. He seemed to have not gotten used to the fact that he was bigger, so as soon as he saw Roy, he could not help but want to pounce on him to have fun.
“Stop! Stop!” Roy quickly stopped him because he was afraid that Fat Tiger would make him fall if he was not careful. Fat Tiger’s current strength was simply terrifying…
After being stopped by Roy, Fat Tiger was a little unwilling and jumped twice in front of him. In the end, the entire demon castle shook like an earthquake, and after the two rumbles, Fat Tiger had shattered the floor tiles made of demon obsidian in the courtyard.
Roy knew that Fat Tiger wanted to go out and play. When he was in the middle Abyss, Fat Tiger was used to being wild outside. Be it hunting or mining, he was always active outside. Now that Fat Tiger was bigger, he was locked in the demon castle grounds most of the time, so he was naturally itching to go.
Roy had no choice but to take him out for a walk. Julia was currently in a deep sleep to acc.u.mulate strength, and Roy did not want to disturb her, so he turned around, jumped onto Fat Tiger’s back, and brought him out.
After leaving the castle, Fat Tiger was overjoyed and ran forward with all his might. As a result, the nearby monsters were immediately thrown into chaos.
Roy did not care much. He sat on Fat Tiger’s back and watched him hunt down these monsters to vent his energy.
However, just as he ran for about two hundred kilometers and was about to reach the edge of Roy’s demon castle’s sphere of influence, an enormous shadow suddenly appeared in the sky in front of him.
In Roy’s Radiation Perception, this colossus had a strong radiation source, and he saw its enormous wings.
He thought it might be a giant war demon, but after the colossus flew closer, he did not expect that it would turn out to be a ma.s.sive dragon!
This stunned Roy for a moment. Why did a dragon appear in the Abyss?!
After the dragon flew over, it seemed to see Fat Tiger’s enormous body, so it flapped its wings and landed. Only then did Roy see that the dragon was a strange black dragon, and on its back was a high-rank demon covered in black iron armor.
Fat Tiger immediately became vigilant when he saw this strange dragon, and his three huge heads stared intently at the dragon opposite him.
In terms of size, Fat Tiger was slightly worse than the dragon, but not by too much. Fat Tiger was more than thirty meters long, and the dragon opposite him was at most forty meters. Roy did not doubt that Fat Tiger could jump over and crush the opponent once the battle began! But at this moment, the demon on the dragon jumped down. He walked toward Roy and asked in puzzlement, “Osiris? You’re Demon Osiris?”
“Huh? You know me?” Roy was a little surprised.
The demon took off his helmet and held it in his hand, revealing a face that Roy found a little familiar. “It’s really you! I’m Edrach!”
When he said this, Roy finally remembered. Isn’t this Demon Lord Rogeros’s subordinate?! It was Edrach who had come to deliver the execution mission to Roy.
Edrach could be said to be the first high-rank demon that Roy knew in the Abyss. He did not expect to see him here.
“When I saw this h.e.l.lhound earlier, I felt it was a little familiar. I didn’t expect it to really be you!” Edrach looked at Roy in amazement. “You’ve changed so much. If I didn’t have a deep impression of this h.e.l.lhound, I wouldn’t have recognized you… But what surprises me the most is that you’re already a high-rank demon?!”
