Chapter 631: Banishment

Yes, tens of thousands of years ago, Roy chose to become the person, or rather, the demon who led Sargeras to see the power of a Void Lord.
Since he would become one of the three commanders of the Burning Legion in the future, Roy knew that he would definitely cross paths with Sargeras, who had yet to fall, and the establishment of this relations.h.i.+p would inevitably take a long time. Moreover, because Roy was a demon, in order to prevent himself from being directly eliminated by Sargeras, he had to be cautious. Not only did he have to protect himself, but he also had to have enough capital to attract Sargeras’s attention. So after he thought about it, the only entry point was the Old G.o.ds.
In Roy’s opinion, Sargeras might have come into contact with Void power at this time, but he might not have seen an Old G.o.d. Not only Sargeras, but all the t.i.tans of the Pantheon might not have enough understanding of the Old G.o.ds.
Facing Sargeras’s questioning, Roy introduced to him, “These terrifying creatures have a unified name, the Old G.o.ds. They aren’t creatures born in the material world but come from the Void. You can regard them as manifestations of Void power!”
“Did these d.a.m.n things come from the Void?” Sargeras frowned at Roy. “How could these things be born in the Void?”
A sinister smile appeared on Roy’s face. “Of course, ordinary Void creatures won’t give birth to these things because, as we’ve talked about before, pure Void power is inert. It will only pa.s.sively corrode matter that falls into the Void from the real world. But the problem is that some existences were born in the Void, existences that exceed ordinary Void creatures. They are one with the Void, colossal ent.i.ties completely made up of Void power. Moreover, they have wisdom and consciousness. Driven by wisdom and consciousness, they are changing from pa.s.sive to active and accelerating the corrosion of the Void on the real world!”
“Existences that surpa.s.s ordinary Void creatures?” Sargeras pondered, trying to understand the scene Roy described. Considering his ident.i.ty as a world-soul t.i.tan, he quickly understood.
Just like how planets could give birth to souls and consciousnesses and eventually give birth to life like t.i.tans, Void power could also give birth to souls and consciousnesses. This wasn’t surprising. Similar to world-soul t.i.tans, life born like this was definitely like a miracle, incomparably powerful and rare.
“What… what are they called?” Sargeras asked Roy.
“Void Lords!” Roy lied through his teeth. “This is what many other worlds call them!”
“Void Lords…” Sargeras pondered over this term and felt that it didn’t seem to be made up, but he still had the mentality of doubting demons. “What do they look like? Have you seen them? How powerful are they?”
Facing Sargeras’s questions, Roy shook his head. “Unfortunately, I have never seen them. Even though I have the ability to sink into the Void World, I haven’t seen them in the Void. You might not know how big the Void is. In a boundless and directionless world, it is impossible to find specific targets…”
Sargeras stared at Roy without saying anything, but the distrust on his face was overflowing.
“You don’t believe me?” Roy grinned sinisterly when he saw his expression. “Sargeras, do you think I’m making up lies to deceive you?”
Sargeras replied expressionlessly, “In my understanding, demons have always been untrustworthy.”
“Then, do you want to take a look at the Void personally?” Roy spread his hands. “I can use my power to pull you into the Void and let you feel what that world is like personally…”
But these words aroused Sargeras’s vigilance. Let a demon pull him into the Void? No matter how confident he was, it was impossible for him to agree to such a risky matter.
“Shut up, demon!” Sargeras said coldly. “Just because I’m willing to stop and listen to you doesn’t mean that you can be unrestrained in front of me!”
Although Sargeras berated Roy, he didn’t attack him. Roy understood Sargeras’s current mental state, so he laughed and didn’t say anything else. He only left a seed in Sargeras’s heart. He didn’t need this seed to sprout now.
After seeing Roy tactfully stop mentioning entering the Void, Sargeras turned his attention back to the Old G.o.d in front of him.
He observed the colossus on the star for a long time before finally saying, “You said that these ugly creatures are manifestations of the power of Void Lords?”
“Yes!” Roy nodded. “Void Lords can be regarded as the Void itself. They exist outside reality, so they can’t directly enter the material world of reality. They can’t move in the real world themselves, so they created these Old G.o.ds and threw them into the real world to use them to complete the corrosion of the real world. There are many Old G.o.ds. Although their shapes are strange, they’re basically parasitic. They will take root on every planet they encounter and then slowly devour all the matter on the planet. As they continuously devour matter, their Void power and physical strength will continue to grow. The Old G.o.d you’re seeing now can be said to be a mature individual. Lord Sargeras, you can probably sense its power. This mature Old G.o.d probably already has power comparable to you t.i.tans!”
Sargeras didn’t say anything as he stared intently at the colossus. He knew that Roy was right. Although this Old G.o.d in front of him was not as powerful as him, it was already nearly as powerful as a newborn world-soul t.i.tan.
“You said that there are many more of these things?” Sargeras keenly caught the keywords in Roy’s words.
“Yes, many!” Roy nodded. “The Void Lords threw many Old G.o.ds into the real world. On the one hand, they’re using them to expand the corrosion speed of the Void. On the other hand, it is to search for…”
Sargeras’s heart skipped a beat. “Search for what?”
Roy looked at Sargeras meaningfully but didn’t leave him hanging. “Search for world-soul t.i.tans!”
After his guess came true, Sargeras immediately became furious and roared, “How dare they…!!!”
However, Roy interrupted him. “How do they dare? Why wouldn’t they dare? Lord Sargeras, compared to devouring ordinary planets, don’t you think that devouring a planet that gave birth to a world-soul is more beneficial to Old G.o.ds? Moreover, the Void is corroding the real world, and you, who have always claimed to be the defenders of order, are natural enemies of the Void. If they can devour world-souls in the midst of being born, it’s equivalent to reducing the number of you t.i.tans. This will be a tremendous help to the corrosion plan of the Void Lords, so why wouldn’t they dare?”
“Shut up! Shut up!!”
Sargeras was losing his mind out of fury. For all the t.i.tans of the Pantheon, the matter of their kind was a topic like a reverse scale. Under the influence of Aman’Thul, all the t.i.tans of the Pantheon regarded their kind as the highest priority. In fact, the ultimate goal of the worlds of order that they were dedicated to maintaining was to allow the birth rate of their kind to be higher and smoother. Now that Sargeras suddenly heard that the Void Lords were actually plotting against his kind, how could he take it?
In his anger, Sargeras suddenly attacked. He raised Gorshalach in his hand and slashed at Roy!
Roy didn’t expect that Sargeras would suddenly flip out at this moment, so he only had time to raise Frostmourne in his hand to block Gorshalach’s slash.
This time, Sargeras attacked with his true body, and Gorshalach was not an energy projection. This caused Frostmourne in Roy’s hand to be damaged after blocking the sword! Gorshalach cut halfway into the sharp blade near the sword’s guard! If not for the blade width at the end being wide enough, it might have been directly cut off…
Fortunately, Frostmourne blocked this attack and bought Roy some time to react. He activated his Absolute Defense ability again to eliminate the residual force of Sargeras’s slash.
The souls he had collected during this period of time had only created three uses of Absolute Defense, but he didn’t expect to use up two of them in such a short time.
Of course, Roy had created this ability to deal with Sargeras. A few million souls wouldn’t be enough for him to improve to the extent of defeating Sargeras’s true body, so it was more practical to create this Absolute Defense ability. Therefore, even though he had consumed two uses, he didn’t feel the pinch.
What he felt distressed about was his sword. Although Frostmourne was also a divine artifact, it was still far inferior to Gorshalach. Seeing such a big gap on his sword made him feel as though someone had broken his figurine.
Seeing that Roy had blocked his attack, Sargeras became even angrier. Why is this demon named Osiris so strange? Why couldn’t I kill him twice in a row?
Thus, Sargeras suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched Roy’s body with his huge palm. But Roy transformed into the Void Form again, emerged from between his fingers in his mist body, and mocked Sargeras, “What’s the matter? Are you angry out of humiliation? But this is the truth. While the Pantheon was attacking the Twisting Nether demons, your world-soul t.i.tans were stolen by the Void Lords!”
“Shut up!” Sargeras became angrier and angrier at Roy’s mockery. But this time, he didn’t want to kill this demon in front of him in vain. Instead, the light of an enormous magic formation suddenly appeared in his palm!
With this magic used by Sargeras, a black rift suddenly opened where Roy was, and then it devoured Roy and disappeared with a flash.
After Roy completely disappeared, Sargeras, who could no longer hear the taunts, finally felt that his surroundings were purer.
Yes, just like dealing with the Twisting Nether demons who would be reborn after they died, when Sargeras saw that he couldn’t kill Roy, he opened the entrance of Mardum and banished him into it!
After banis.h.i.+ng Roy, Sargeras felt refreshed and let out a long sigh.
Then he looked at the colossal Old G.o.d, snorted coldly, and rushed forward with Gorshalach…
After the darkness in front of him disappeared, Roy found himself in a strange environment.
Is this the Mardum plane? Roy immediately understood. In fact, he had already expected Sargeras to banish him, but he didn’t expect Sargeras to imprison him so quickly. He originally expected that Sargeras would banish him after he used Absolute Defense three times. Unexpectedly, Sargeras was unable to hold back after the second time.
After realizing that this was Mardum, Roy smiled. Although this place was called a prison, it was actually safer for him, so he flew into the distance and planned to wait here peacefully for a while.
He knew very well that although he had rambled about a lot of things to Sargeras, Sargeras was still the Champion of the Pantheon. It was impossible for him to believe Roy after hearing his story. He would personally verify the so-called Void Lords of the Old G.o.ds in the coming days.
It would take a long time for Sargeras to fall because of his fear of the Void.
And when Sargeras realized that he was helpless, he would open this prison with his own hands…
