The wind was howling, and the black clouds were rolling with all their might, seemingly trying to cover the enormous hole in the sky. But this effort was clearly futile. The terrifying dark aura on the other side of the Gate of the Abyss was still continuously emanating.
Roy floated in the sky and looked down at the ground below. He knew that he had descended into an unfamiliar world again.
Everything visible in his vision contained countless information, which was the underlying information produced by the operation of this world. Roy could now gradually interpret this information, so after a short period of observation, he immediately realized what was different about this world.
This world… didn’t seem to have been born naturally but was artificially created. This was because a lot of the underlying information seemed to have been deliberately adjusted…
This perception that came from the divine spark was very wonderful, allowing Roy to ‘see’ things.
Perhaps it was precisely because of the uniqueness of this world that Roy could feel that the resistance and repulsion he suffered when he descended this time was not as great as he had imagined. Unlike the last time when he was stuck in the Gate of the Abyss, he felt very comfortable after descending, and even the hostility of the world’s will toward him was only a little.
No wonder there were so many demon kings in this world at the same time. It seemed that the will of this world had long been accustomed to being bullied by demon kings and planned to lie down…
After Roy’s body completely descended, the Gate of the Abyss in the sky slowly closed reluctantly. But the phenomenon in the sky didn’t dissipate. Affected by Roy’s powerful strength, a black blizzard suddenly fell in this area. Lightning flashed, and thunder roared. The Zakarum cultists kneeling on the ground below screamed from time to time, but they immediately swallowed their screams. They were covered in cold sweat as they s.h.i.+vered on the ground, not daring to look up at Roy.
It was not until Roy slowly descended and landed on the ground with both feet with a loud thud and a tremor that the leader, a Zakarum high priest, dared to look up. His voice was full of fear and excitement as he said to Roy in a trembling voice, “Your Majesty Osiris, my lord Mephisto asked me to convey his greetings to you and welcome you to Sanctuary…”
Roy lowered his head and looked at the high priest below, who only reached his knees. He asked in a deep voice, “I came according to the agreement. Where is Mephisto?”
“My lord’s body and soul are still sleeping in this world, so he can’t come to see you…” the high priest replied respectfully. “But since you’ve already descended, I believe my lord will soon return…”
Roy nodded. Everything was similar to what he had expected. Although he didn’t know whether the Mephisto in this world was a clone or his main body, it was obvious that he was trapped.
In this world, Mephisto wasn’t the only demon king. There was also Diablo and the others, who were also demon king-level existences. The power of demons in this world could be said to be unprecedented. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t have been Roy’s turn to intervene here. But what was laughable was that the seven demon kings of this world were all beaten senseless by the angels of the High Heavens and the nephalem. If Roy didn’t remember wrongly, the souls of the seven demon kings had been sealed several times…
This situation of losing again and again could no longer be described as iron-headed. Roy didn’t know why Mephisto and the others were so obsessed with this world. But from another perspective, it could also prove how powerful this world’s resistance to demons was!
Rov had inst descended into this world and knew nothing ah011t the situation here. But he knew that this wasn’t a place where he could do whatever he wanted with the power of a demon king. He looked up at the distant sky and then at the mountains in the distance. He knew that the phenomenon when he descended would soon attract high-level angels and nephalem.
Roy stretched out his hand, and countless eyeball monsters with small wings flew out from his demon claws. These tens of thousands of Demon Eyes for reconnaissance flapped their small wings and soon turned invisible and disappeared.
These Demon Eyes would fly in all directions of this world according to Roy’s orders and report back what they detected. This would help Roy understand the true situation of this world better and prevent him from being at a loss.
Finally, Roy left a portion of the Demon Eyes and handed them to the Zakarum high priest in front of him. “Take these little things and use them to contact me. When I have orders, I will inform you through them!”
Yes, in view of his agreement with Mephisto, Roy unceremoniously treated these Zakarum cultists as his subordinates.
After hearing Roy’s words, the high priest couldn’t help being stunned for a moment before asking carefully, “Your Majesty Osiris, where… are you going?
Aren’t you going to stay and lead us?”
“Of course not!” Roy grinned and pointed his sharp claws at the high priest. “Unless you want your stronghold to be besieged by countless angels and nephalem, it’s best not to have such thoughts. Your people can hide however they want, and I will temporarily disappear from the eyes of the world until I think I should appear!”
The high priest nodded and asked carefully, “About the agreement with my lord…
“I naturally remember the agreement. I will find a way to release Mephisto!” Roy replied. “But before that, you have to find a way to discover his whereabouts. As for when to release him, I’ll make the decision. Understand?” “Yes… Your Majesty!” The high priest had no choice but to agree respectfully.
After Roy explained this, his tall body immediately became illusory, and the mist surrounding him gradually faded. Soon, he disappeared in front of the Zakarum cultists.
The Zakarum cultists prostrated on the ground for a long time before finally confirming that Roy’s demon aura had really disappeared. They wiped their cold sweat and stood up.
“High Priest, we…”
Before the cultist could finish asking, the high priest immediately waved his hand. “Let’s leave this place first. Those nephalem have probably smelled the scent here and are on their way. If you don’t want to die here, leave quickly!”
The Zakarum cultists gathered at the scene scattered in all directions. When the nephalem arrived and carefully approached the summoning altar, they found only a large number of black blood marks remaining.
As for the powerful demon king they had expected to encounter, there was no trace at all…
The news was quickly sent back to the Horadrim Brotherhood. Not only did the people of the Horadrim Brotherhood not heave a sigh of relief when they didn’t see the demon king who descended, but their expressions became even uglier because they knew very well what this meant. This newly-arrived demon king was not a boor. On the contrary, he was so cunning!
After he descended, he quickly disappeared and hid. Such a demon was even more terrifying than those who only knew how to shout and kill…
“Now, we can only wait. I hope Lord Tyrael can learn the name of this new demon king from the High Heavens… Even a portion of his true name is good. This way, when he appears again, we won’t know nothing about him.. ”
“Yes, the eighth demon king… This world is indeed plagued with misfortunes…”
At the same time, at the northernmost part of Sanctuary, the cold wind howled and snow fell. A black figure suddenly appeared in this bleak place.
This environment suits me better! Roy, who had teleported here, looked around in satisfaction and nodded.
In the most inaccessible place, Roy chose a giant mountain. He dug open the solid frozen soil, opened a cave halfway up the mountainside, and then froze the cave. In the depths of the cave, a black ice throne stood again.
The eyes of Roy, who was sitting on the black ice throne, flickered with red light. Although he was looking at the snow-white world outside the cave, countless scenes had appeared in his vision.
These scenes were all transmitted through the Demon Eyes. Under Roy’s command, these invisible Demon Eyes had gradually found the human gathering points scattered all over Sanctuary.
Now, let me see howpowerful the nephalem here are..
